SCOUT ORGANIZER OUSTED.
Retirement Explained by National
Council Of Boy Scouts.

New York, Dee. S.-The national
council of the BOY Scouts of Amer
lea, through an authorized committee.
held a special meeting today to con-
slider statement issued by Ernest
Thompson Seton in which he said that
he had resigned as chief scout. After
the meeting the council issued this
statement:
Mr.. Seton did not resign; he was
deliberately dropped by the national
council Of the Boy Scouts of America
on the question Of Americanism. He
is not an American citizen. He not
only resented suggestions and requests
made by many of his friends in the
scout movement that he become an
American citizen, but went further
and objected to the Boy Scout hand
book including a chapter on patriot
ism. His term expired February,
1915. The national council at it's an
nual meeting did not reelect him be-
cause Of the belief that in a move
ment for making men as citizens of
America there should be no doubt as
to the citizenship and patriotism of
the leaders of the movement. ANY
statement that the dropping of Mr..
Seton or his alleged resignation was
due to anything else than this is not
true. J.
"In fairness to Mr.. Seton the office
was left vacant until he could be af-
forded reasonable opportunity to
declare his intentions of becoming n
citizen Of the United States. This he
refused
In response to Mr.. Seton's attempt
to resign he was Informed that mas.

ceed with his own work without rails
ing any issue. He has seen fit to vio-
late his promise without any notice
to the executive board or any of its
ofhcers at time and under conditions
which make necessary this statement
of fact.
The aims Of tho Boy Scout move
ment are today exactly the same &C
they have been since the organization
ot the movement in this country in
1910. Character development and
good citizenship through wholesome
outdoor activities is the objective.

TO ELIMINATE IluTERACY,
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
PLANS SCHOOLS FOR ADULTS.
Concerted Effort to Be Made to Re-
move the Blot OF Illltcracy From
sumter County-Opportunit for
Education to BE Placed Within
Reach OF Every Illiteratc Adult.

1T is matter of record that 13 per
cent. OF the Democratic voters of Sum-
ter county are unable to sign their
names-this was demonstrated when
the Democratic Clubs prepared their
roll books i'm 1914. This is a condition
that is deplorable and that should not
be flowed to continue if it is possible
to devise any plan whereby the il
literates may be assisted to learn to
read and write. The County Board of
Education has taken the matter under
serious consideration and has deter
mined to inaugurate systematic
campaign to interest those adults who
cannot read or write in an effort to
obtain at least the rudiments Of an ed
ucation. 1t is believed that the per-
centage Of illiteracy can be reduced
to a minimum within two years or less
time. If the hearty cooperation Of all
the school trustees of the county can
be obtained to further the movement.
To inaugnrate the campaign against
iiliteraoy meeting of the county trus-
tees association has been called Tor
next Wednesday, the following letter
having been mailed to each trustee by

To The School Trustees of Sumter
County:
Gentlemen: Realizing the fact that
some of our most deserving citizens
have been denied the privilege of
learning to read and write, the Sum-
ter County Board Of Education de-
sires to ask your cooperation in try
ing to devise some plan whereby this
condition may be overcome.
Already the Board has decided to
open a night school in the Y. M. C. A.
building in Sumter for all persons of
eighteen years and over who desire to
improve themselves. Two classes will
be formed. Male teachers will have
charge of the mems mlass and female
teachers will have charge of the wo-
mems class. This good work will be
voluntary on the part of the teach
ers. and no charge will be to those
who attend for Improvement.
Gentlemen. does it not rest upon us,
who have been more fortunate. to try
to help those among us of our own
clood who have beon less fortunate t?
The per cent. of those who cannot
write their names is appalling. South
Carolina i'm the matter OF initcrscv j.,
next 20 the very foot in the whole
United states. We deplore it, but will
II ever be otherwise If we only deploro
IT and do nothing more? There mus,
be some way to improve this condition.
We have as good people in South
Carolina. yea, and in Sumter county,
as the sun ever shone upon. Other
States have improved this condition
and other counties in our own State
ere improving it. Is it right for us to
sit still and do nothing?
The County Board Of Education has
asked the president of the Sumter
County Trustees Association to call a
special meeting at which every trustee
80 W. SOehey hiot Oliy dSheu DuI
begged to attend.
Gentlemen, the year is drawing to a
close. VIC will want to look back to see
what good we have done. To know
that we have at least attempted to do
our fellow man good should he our
greatest joy.
Please come to the court house.
Wednesday. December 18th. at II
O'Clock, when we believe that some
plan can be devised TO try to over
come these difficulties, which to some
OF us seem mountain high, but may
hC only mists. and as easily dispersed.
The City Roard of Education and
the County Board will take pleasure
in meeting with the Trustees Asso-
c!ation on this occasion.
Very respectfully,
j. II. Haynsworth
Secretary County Trustees Association
