IL you wish to make the pudding In

Christmas for CoiOred Chtldren.
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala, Dec, Z.
To the Editor OF The Bee: During the
last ten or twelve years 1t was regarded
as a privilege by the late principal OF
Tuskegee institute, DR.. Booker T. Wash
inEton. to distribute in the rural dis
tricts OF the south Christmas remem-
brances of one kind OF another which
were sent to him for those who, without
some such remembrance, would have
nothing TO remind them OF the Christmas
season.
Mrs. Washington, who always coop
Grated with him in this labor OF love,
will be pleased this year TO continue the
custom OF distributing such presents as
may be sent to her for the purpose
named among the poorer children of the
cotton-growing states, using smaller
schools. churches. Tuskegee graduates
and former students. etc. as the medium
for reaching deserving children In wide
sections Of the south.

BOY scout Discipline.
OMAHA. Dee. $40 the Editor OF The
Bee Regarding editorial in your paper
on evening of December I, regarding the
Boy Scout organization.
In part of the country where the Boy
Scout movement Is very little under
stood, your statement that the above
organization Is very likely essentially
military is very misleading, and l fail
to understand your basis, unless it would
be press reports on Mr.. Seaton's reason
for Withdrawing es chief scout.
The basis of the movement is decidedly
non-military, and from all tie informa-
ton ! have been able to gather has al
ways been so and will 30 continue. 1t
should be understood that instilling pa
triotism into boys is one of the aims
of the organization, and to this end a
scout takes an oath Of allegiance to his
flag. gets a thorough understanding Of
what his flag stands for and the respect
that is due II. A scout agrees to the
law calling for: Trustworthiness, 10y
atty. hepfulness. friendliness, courtesy,
Kindness cheerfulness, obedience, thrift
mess, cleanness in body and thought and
reverence toward God. He takes a
scout oath that binds him to do his duty
to God and his country and to obey the
above law, to help others at ali times
and to keep himself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.
He has a pin that signifies brotherhood,
good citizenship and friendliness, and
It Is his reminder to do a good turn daily.
The tests that he takes in woodcraft,
campcraft and elementary first aid to
the injured and all other tests fail to
show anything OF a military spirit, but
merely emphasize his motto to BE Pre-
pared" 1t certainly should be vehe-
mently denied that the Boy Scouts are
in any way military, and that military
control and military discipline are at ali
necessary for their welfare. A program
tending to make good citizens is an en-
tirely different proposition from anything
essenta ally military. and II there is any
one thing that a boy of "a, no mat er
where you find him, does not need, its a
training or routine of a military nature.
Yours very truly,
CHESTER w. HINZEE,
Scout Master, Troop Two, Boy Scouts of
American, 4El6 Farnam Street.
