SCOUT MOVEMENT
is SUBJECT OF
SMEDLEY'S TALK
Addresses Rock Island Club
Members at MONDAY Lunch
con on Boys Work.
MAKES FOR BETTER MEN
Local Y. M. C. A. Started Movement
Four Years Ago When First
lnaugurated.

Secretary R. c. Smedley of the Y.
NJ. C. A, addressed the members OF
the Rock Island club this noon at the
regular Thursday luncheon, talking on
the subject, ''The Y. NJ. C. a. and the
Boy Scout Movement" His address
was very interesting and he told of the
manner in which real men are being
formed by the scout movement.
At present the membership of boys
ct the association exceeds 800 and Mr..
Smedley states that he soon expects to
have 400 enrolled About so of these
boys now take part in the national
boy scout organization and Rock Is
land was one of the first cities to take
up this movement at the time of its
Inauguration some five years ago.
What the Boy Scouts Do.
There are many vino do not exactly
understand the boy scout movement,
but its purpose is TO secure as men,
bers as many boys as possible and
10 train them in their younger life for
later careers. The boys take hikes,
in athletics and learn how
to live their lives in the right manner.
In order to explain the good the move
ment is doing, Mr.. Smedley cited an
instance last summer when the boys
were taking hike through the coun-
try and were accompanied by him as
their leader. They were passing an
orchard where a number of the trees
we're well laden with fruit The boys
gazed longingly at the tempting article
and finally one of them said. IF we
scouts We would go after that
Iruit.'
This illustrates clearly the good of
he movement. The boys viii not let
be led into committing the
noyish pranks as they would were
hey not scouts. and in this manner
grow into good men. worthy to become
oval, honest and diligent citizens
At the floods in Dayton. Ohio, the
BOY scouts were everywhere assisting
n the rescue work under efficient
and the work was conduct
NJ in such a systematic manner that
great deal OF good was accomplished /;

d $500 for their camp during the sum |

mer, presented the entire amount to
the flood sufferers
Leaders Are Wanted.
Mr. Smedley said that a number OF
good leaders were wanted under
whose guidance the boys could
work. take hikes, play games, and
participate in athletics. AT present
the only lack is leaders and he urges
that any business men who desire TO
help in the matter in any way could
do a great deal of good by lending
their assistance.
Mr.. Smedley's talk was short but
was well received by those in attend
ance, who realize what the scout Move
ment is doing all over the country
The former gangs and aggregations of
boys who gathered for the purpose of
creating disturbance or participating
in various escapades, are being done
away with all over the country by the
boy scouts, and the movement shas
come to be one of the most conmend-
able the country has ever known.
