POINTERS
BY DR.. soWERev.

Hello there, scouts.
1 am mighty glad to be able to
talk to you all through these columns.
but right here at the start, fellows,
let us give three cheers for the De-
troit Times for its Kindness In open
ing the way for us to get better 40
quainted, and to learn Of one an
others progress In this big brother
hood OF ours.
l shall, through these columns, try
to give you help concerning the vari-
Gus points In scouting so that all
scouts can gain the same knowledge
at the same time. Then, again, shall
watch with interest the reports of
your own individual troops.
Here Is my flrst piece of advice to
make a successful troop:
/. Always be on hand for the meet
ing promptly.
2. Pay attention to all that goes on.
SO that you do not have to ask the
scoutmaster to repeat what he has
said a few minutes previous.
3. Do not stand for any trough
house" by any boy present, as that
Is the quickest way to spoil your
troop.
4. Do not have to have your scout
master caution about behavior; re.
member you should all be above that
Also remember that your scoutmas.
ter has the whole interest and vel
fare at heart and wants to see the
troop succeed.
5. Do not be fooled into believing
that large numbers make the success
full troop. II Is the quality OF the
members that counts.
With these few suggestions only
for this time. and hoping that I shall
see you at our big annual rally at the
armory on Feb. s. here's three cheer,
for The Times and big success to the
scout section.

on the roll call.
