 IL is a matter worthy of. comment that the coal camps of southern Col orado.s as elsswhere.F have troops or patrols of boy scouts Boys of many natonalittes have nanifested a most enthusiastic interest in the work and the result has been that patriotism Of Inc highest type has been fnstiiied into the young minds, which msars honor of the flag. respect for Amer4can in- stitutions and love. of the land of tho free and the hona of the brave.
 One has seen the boy scouts tn first aid work, fin camp and on the tr1np. One has seen perfect discipline ard organization One has seen the scouts on duty during days of sorrow and tragedy in coal camps serving hot cof- fee to rescue crews deiving among the wreeiSage for bodies Of unfortunate victims of mine explosions. One has seen the boys taking part in historical pageantsh. being kind to aGed people. seeing some. cripple across a street tn safety, aiding in the search for lost persons and. furthering the eampaiEn of sanitation wherever possible.
 America has need of boys like the scouts and oe the manhood that this kind of boyhood represents. America has need of the useful cftizenshto rep honor the flag and learn obedience to the law.-From an editorial published recently in the Trinidad News, Trfni- dad. Col. -- ---- z. 4i-. ~.
