Straisht-LoyaI to His Scout Lead
or, His Home, His Parents and
Couptrv

Among the great movements that
have done much to check the tenden-
cies drawing men down the boy scout
movement stands out strongly.
The movement has spread like wild
fire in America, and there are few cit
les that do not have their boy scout
bands. The boy scout movement makes
American boys better Americans 1t
takes them out of doors and teaches
them how to do things they never
would learn anywhere else.
| While the movement Is of great ben
eft to lads in the country and small
towns, in the cities it is Of inestimable
value. The aim of the leaders of the
Boy Scouts Of America is to develop
men of the type Of the great men Of
history.
AS the scout the boy willingly adopts
as real and vital the universally ac-
cepted principles Of life as set forth in
the scout oath and law This effec-
lively influences the boys nature and

for that work which the church can
best do.
A scout promises that upon his honor
he will do his duty to God, his country
and obey the scout law; that he will
help other people at all times and that
he will keep himself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.
Must 30 Trustworthy.
The scout law, covering the twelve
fundamental principles, requires
scout first Of all to be trustworthy. That
means that he must not tell lie, cheat
or deceive, but keep every trust sacred
A scout is loyal to all to whom loyalty
Is due, including his scout leader, his
home, his parents and his country
Furthermore, scout is helpful, pre-
pared at all times to save life, help In.
jured persons and do at least one good
turn daily. A scout is friendly to ALA
brother to every other scout.
A scout is courteous, especially to
women, children and old people, and
he must not take pay for being cour.
teous. A scout Is kind to animals and |
does not kill or hurt any living crea.
ture needlessly. A scout Is obedient. A
scout is cheerful, even when facing
hardship and drudgery. A scout Is
thrifty. He works faithfully, wastes
nothing and makes the best use OF his
opportunities. A scout is brave and
does what he knows is right, In spite
OF jeers and threats A scout is clean
In body and thought. stands for clean
speech, clean sport. clean habits, and
travels with a clean crowd Finally, q
scout is reverent toward God. He Is
in his religious duties and re
,pects the convictions OF others In mat
tiers Of custom and religion.

LAUDS THE BOY SCOUTS.
Secretary Daniels Says Training Will
Make Better Young Men.

Praises for the boy scout movement
were spoken by men Of national imDor-
lance at the great public meeting held
In the ballroom Of the Raleigh hotel, In
Washington, as the closing feature OF
the fourth annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Council Of the Boy Scouts Of
America. Secretary Daniels OF the
navy department spoke OF the better
type Of young men which would result
from boy scout training. Dan Beard,
who will have charge Of the united
Baltimore and Washington scout camp
on the Chesapeake bay this summer,
related a number OF his experiences
and explained where he learned scout
craft. Other speakers were Senator'S
Nelson and Clapp OF Minnesota. Varda-
man OF Mississippi, johnson OF Maine
and w. b. Greeley Of the department
Of agriculture.
The boy scout movement was com
pared with the navy by Secretary Dan
iels. He pointed out that the navy was
trying TO instill into the minds OF the
sailors just such principles and high
ideals as were being put into the boy
BOUTS Said Secretary Daniels.
Il am glad that you are adding a

THE BOY SCOUTS IDEA.
II Originated In America, According TO
National Scout Commissioners.

Daniel C. Beard, national boy scout
commissioner, in letter to a New
York newspaper contributes the FL:
lowing: ~slIE4
"For the sake of historical accuracy
, allow me to correct statement to the
effect that the boy scout idea origi-
mated In England The fact Is 1t was
evolved here in America from Ameri.
can traditions and history and particu-
larly from the lives Of the buckskin
men Of the middle west-Daniel Boone
and Simon Kenton, George Rogers
Clark, Davy Crockett and George
Washington. The distinguished gen
eral Baden-Powell was too good a
sportsman to claim the idea When he
first visited this country and was In
troduced by Mr.. Seton as the father OF
the boy scouts he said, i am not the
father, but l might be called the "un
cle." He frankly acknowledged that
he 'cribbed' the idea from America.
See also Colonel Roosevelt's letter to
the boy scouts of Philadelphia In the
book Of their third annual encamp-
ment, In which he says that the boy
scout idea was brought to his atten
ton while he was president This was
before Baden-P owell's scouts were or.
ganized Baden-Powell previously had
society Of boys; 50 also had many
other people and churches and welfare
workers, but none Of them became
popular until the American
scout idea was adopted to appeal to
the boys love Of romance and adven-
ture.
"The gentlemen in this movement
are in it to help the boys and not for
personal glory; hence we have agreed
that none of us shall make personal
claims to the honor of originating the
idea, but we also agreed that 1t is per
fecty right, legitimate, proper and
patriotic duty to state that 1t Is an
American idea, Indigenous to this coun
try.
"The boy scout movement had It's
birth many years previous to 1910 here
IN America. 1t was, however, In 1910
hat the different bodies and individu
lls working for the boys united and
'ormed the present organization known
