OMAHA, June 1s.To the Editor OF
The Bee: Owing 20 the fact that certain
Omaha citizens have misjudged the aim
of the Boy Scout movement. our troop
has appointed US to set forth some OF the
principal features Of this organization
Some seem to have the impression
that we are Of q military character. We
do not stand for militarlsm. but we do
stand for the military virtues. such as
honor. loyalty, obedience and patriotism.
The uniform, the troop, the patrol and
the drill are not for military tactics,
they are for the unity, harmony and
rhythm Of the spirit that boys learn in
scouting
In order to become a first-class scout
boy must first have a general knowi-
edge OF first aid to the injured, signal
ing. cooking. woodcrstt and camp craft
He must also earn and deposit a bank
account and practice the points Of the
scout law in his daily life.
Woodrow Wilson, who of all others
stands for peace, is honorary president
Of the organization OF the Boy Scouts OF
America. On February II. OF this year,
in the East room Of the white House. I'm an
address TO our national council, he said,
II am glad Of the opportunity TO express
my very sincere interest, not only in the
organization Of tie Boy Scouts, but in the
objects for which It stands. From all that
know Of II, and have teen able to OBJ
serve personally, 1t is an admirable or
ganizstion, devoted to the objects in
which I myself thoroughly believe" Does
| the boy scout movement need any further
recommendation to those favoring peace?
At the public library there are several
copies Of the scout handbook. II Is just
a little text. but contains a vast amount
Of useful, interesting information. Every
one interested In boys should read IL.
