The Better Boy" Movement.


A few years ago the man in the street
regarded the Boy Scout as a lad who
was playing at being a soldier. and
would soon tire of the amusement. To-
day a more accurate understanding Of
the movement has led the same man
to give his personal support to a great
movement that reclaims the growing
boy from wasting himself and his time
in the difficult interval of adolescence.
The meeting of elder brothers and
friends in council at the Adelphia bears
witness to this changed public temper.
The Justification of their cause has
been the outcome Of the self-improvinS
efforts of the boys themselves.
One has only to give few minutes
to the perusal of the Scout Manual to
realize what 1t means to qualify as an
expert in the branches Of activity de.
scribed. The ordeal is that of modern
knighthood, and it is arduous and ex.
acting. One may not aspire to the high.
est coveted distinction without giving
proof of all-round ability. The special
skill in various kinds of handicraft Is
not to be acquired without rigorous
drill and self denial. The Scouts are
not an incipient soldiery. but they ac-
quire the habits Of discipline and ODE
dfence that are the second nature OF
the warrior, turned to the happier uses
Of the daily life Of peace and civaltxa.

DEPARTMENT STORE MORALS.
Human Nature the Same on Both
Sides of the Counter.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Few subjects have been discussed
with less knowledge of the facts than
that of the morals Of woman employees
in department stores. 1t is particu-
larly gratifying, therefore. that the re-
port of an investigation conducted by
the Consumers League Of this city
should contradict the offensive assump-
ton that low standards of conduct pre-
vail among them, mainly because their
wages do not enable them to live de-
Gently. There may be cities where the
conditions are not as good as here,
but such a fact-if it be a fact-does
not affect the general conclusion. 1t is
always a dangerous thing to indict any
class in the community. Environment
counts for something. but exposure to
temptation need not mean yielding to
it. If a hundred women-or men, for
that matter-were chosen from differ
emf walks of life at random, 1t would
probably be found that the percentage
of virtue was much the same in all.
Class distinctions are never more obi
Gus than when they are applied to the
moral traits of individuals.
One reason for the wholesale accusa-
lions brought against any one class by
another is the difference in the code,
not of morals. but of manners. There
are all sorts of little distinctions in
some walks of society which do not
obtain in others Free and easy man
ners are misunderstood by those who
observe the niceties of etiquette. LII
cense of speech is confused with IL
cense of action. Shopgirls differ among
themselves like other women, In in
telligence, In refinement, in ambition to
succeed. They have their own dragons
to fight-poverty. illness. mental de-
preston. and, now and then, the plausi-
BILE allurements of vice. Most of them
battle bravely and more often win than
lose. 1t Is unjust. 1T is cruel. for those
who have known not the flerceness of
the struggle to withhold sympathy, or,
worse. to bestow condemnation. Most
people believe what they wish to be-
lieve and find what they expect to find.
Evidently the Consumers League be-
gan its work with no unfavorable pre-
possessions and continued 1t with an
open mind. The result satisfies the in
stinct of justice and 1t should be ac-
copied without question.

NEUTRALITY AND TUNES.
Trials and Tribulations Caused by an
Italian Musician.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New York Sun.
Trouble is brewing at our boarding
house. all because Of the war. The
other day an Italian with a barrel or
gan stopped in front of our house.
There are children in the house and
this organ grinder calls once a week.
for he Is usually well paid for his
visits. Well, on this particular occa-
the Marseiliaiss he
ed into play the "Wacht am Rhefn."
when 10 and behold, a coin came flying
from an upper window. Some panto-
mimic order was given, for he stopped
very short and substituted another Sc
lection. The party upstairs Is a lady OF
French extraction. while the writer
has some German blood in his veins.
Now. what made my blood boil was the
fact that the aforesaid lady knows that
1 am of German extraction. and In alb
solute fairness she might at least have
permitted the finishing of the German
air. And I freely confess that I enjoy
ed the rendition of the French patriotic
air. for 1t appeals to me for its stir
ring melody, and; besides. I have great
admiration for the French people. In
consequence of the unneutral action on
the lady's part I gave the Italian an
other coin. He understood the mean
ing Of my wink. for he played the
"Wacht am Rhein" right through to
Tue cuup anu lhQ my revenge
For the sake of peace at the table the
incident has not been alluded to. The
Italian is due again within a few days
and I anticipate that there may be some
friction, for am determined to have
fair play. Either he shall play both
airs or neither. OF course, the further
complication may arise that the Italian
may omit the "Wacht am Rhein" en-
tirely from his repertoire because Of his
patriotic feelings. If that should oc-
he MIA mi 10 "a l.
laise." then I'll change my boarding
house.
In the meantime the situation may be
described as tense. Some of the board
ers are openly espousing the cause OF
the French lady, some are in sympathy
with my stand while others claim to
be strictly neutral" But honestly. am
not strictly neutral in the stand
take? And to cap the climax the lady
refuses to speak to me.
