SCOUT LESSONS.


| We begin to-day the lessons on the re-
quirements for the Second Glass degree.
All scouts should cut these lessons out
this week and the following weeks and
preserve them. The first thing to be
taken up will be the first aid, as this is
undoubtedly the most important for a
scout to know. The requirements will
be given in a condensed form. ANY scout
who wishes fuller details will receive
them If he sends in his inquiry.
Capillary bleeding least dangerous I;
scratch or Craze. Bathe in cold water
and apply lint pad dipped in water, and
bandage.
Venous bleeding more dangerous.
Blood of dark purple yelling from side
furthest from heart. Treat same way,
but if not checked bind limb on side furth-
est from heart.
Arterial bleeding most dangerous.
Bright red blood squirting from wound as
heart beats. Place pad over wound. Find
and press artery on side nearest heart or
make a tourniquet. A tourniquet can be
improvised by tying a handkerchief or
piece OF bandage around the limb between
the wound and the heart and then tighten
it up by inserting a stick between the
limb and the bsndage and twisting it.
Internal bleeding blood coughed up.
Send for doctor at once. Lay patient on
side and give him fresh air. Keep him
quiet. Give him ice to suck or cold wa
ter. Apply cold to chest and warmth to
feet.
Nose bleeding. Hold head thrown
back with arms above and behind head.
Undo tight clothing around throat. Ap-
ply wet sponge to top of nose and back
of neck.
Sprains. Apply cold water constantly
1r very hot water. Rest limb.
Fracture. Do not handle limb unnec-
.ssarily to find nature of fracture. Place
plints on each side of limb plenty long
.nough and padded underside. Do not
move patient until limb is made immov-
ble by splints. Straighted limb very

THE boz SCOUTs COLUMN.

The Chronicle has made arrangements
to run a series of timely articles on Boy
Scouts, their work and instructions which
will be of more than passing interest to
not only the Boy Scouts, but the public
in general. The articles which will start
this week, will be continued each week.
Don't fail to read the first part. The
scouts should cut the lessons, which start
this week, out and save them.

At recent meeting of Boy Scouts ant
Scout Officials held in Washington, D. C.
President Woodrow Wilson, who is alst
the Honorary President of the Boy Scou
Organization, addressed them as follows
Gentlemen:
am sincerely glad to have the pleasur,
OF this visit from you, and to have an op
portunity to express my very sincere In
terest not only in the organization of th'
Boy Scouts but in the objects that tha
organization has. From all that 1 know
of 1t, and from all that have been able
to observe personally, 1t Is an admirabl,
organization. devoted to the objects that
myself thoroughly believe in.
There Is only one rule in the world, and
It applies to all professions, and that il
that you are expected TO make good. -
No excuses are allowed In this school oi
life, and the only way to make good ie
to keep faith. That is the reason like
the idea of the Boy Scouts-because oi
their secure notion OF being responsible to
society. They are responsible to the peO-
pie who live around them--to help main
tain the standards of order and fidelity
upon which the community depends.
You are recruits In the ranks that we
all stand in, and that is to serve the
country in some way that will tell, and
that has nothing particular to do with our
own personal benefit. The man who de-
votes himself exclusively to the develop
ment of his own character will succeed In
nothing except to make Of himself prig.
But If he devotes himself to helping other
people his character will not only take
care of itself but II will grow to a very
noble stature.
have always maintained that, in the
language of the of manufacture, character
Is by-product. If you set out to develop
It because you love it for yot rselfyou will
be an ass. If you disregard the conse-
quences to yourself In order to serve other
people you will make a noble gentleman,
and that I believe is fundamental and
sacred in an organization Of this sort.
I congratulate you for belonging to it
and hope you will honor it in every way
by your conduct and allegiance.
1t is certainly an honor to belong to an
which brings forth such
words of approval from the President of
the United States, and all those connect
ed with the movement, both Scouts and
Officials, should realize the importance
and worthiness of the work in which they
are engaged. And they should realize in
addition that they are associated in this
work not merely for play but to learn and
put in practice the knowledge they ac-
luire. Unless they do so the words quoted
lbove are not for them-they will neither
lave made good nor kept faith, !" two
cardinal principles of President Wilson'S
dea of what Boy Scout should do and

inue In the movement which has the |
unique record of having as officials Pres

lents, William II. Taft and Theodore |

A strong protest Games from
Chicago over the manner in which

publication. The national bank ex.
