BOY SCOUTS
OF AMERICA


spirit IS very strong in boys, but
how strong it is few realize who
have not made study of the psy-
chology of the child or had expert
ence with the semi-criminal gangs
of the large cities. This spirit
makes its appeals to the best in
the boy-his courage and loyalty
and from that very fact it is capa-
BILE of doing great harm when mis-
directed.
The organization known as the
Boy Scouts of America was formed
for the purpose of enlisting, this
force OH the side Of those ideals
which make for the moral. and
physical health and efficiency of
the boy, and five years experience
shows that it works. Whoever has
seen troup Of Boy Scouts stand
ing at attention-right hand at sa-
Mte-eyes on the flag, repeating
the scout oath and law-noting
their seriousness and enthusiasm
has at once realized that an indeli-
ble impression was being made in
these young souls.
The scont oath is:
"On my honor I will do my best.
81. To do my duty to God and
my country and to obey the scout
law.
20. To help other people at all
times.
"3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and moral
y straight"
The scout law is:
IA scout is trustworthy. =
"A scout is loyal.
"a scout is helpful.
"A scout is friendly.
5-A scout is courteous.
GA scout is kind.
IA scout is obedient.
8-A scout is cheerful.
"a scout is thrifty.
10-A scout is brave.
1l-A scout is clean.
PA scout is reverent.
The boys love for the out of
doors, for hiking, camping and the
many other activities provided by
the movement makes it possible
for the trained scout master to win
his respect and loyalty and to in
fsuence his daily life to very re-
markable degree. The movement
has been carefully thought out, is
we'll organized and is growing rap
idly. There are now over 10000
Boy Scouts, and every month the
movement is taking root in new
places. A campaign is on in Mem
phis to raise SUM. sufficient to
support the work for two years in
Memphis. It has the Endorsement
Of the superintendent Of schools,
Of the chief of police and many of
the best citizens, aud it felt sure
that the, campaign will succeed in
raising the sum needed. - Memphis

BROUGHT TO Time
One Way to Help Man in His

Orpha did not lift her eyes from

the adage that only one thing at a

Orpha's sister had left her to enter

uncovered veranda, with its rugs,

girl found her duty best performed

matron had discussed fashion, the
lake society, the latest novel, and

Orpha lifted her dark head, and her
calm eyes rested moment on the
plump little matron, glad that her
secret was safely hidden in her own
heart, and that people could not thus
discuss her and Stanley Long. For

No Reorganization
Of the State Guard,
Says the Governor

Lincoln, July s.-"Where was
Moses when thel light went out"
might also be applied to Nebraska
when the Guard goes out.
The question arises as to whether
the state will be without the protect
ing hand of an armed force. or will
the Guard have to be reorganized.
Regarding the matter, Governor
Morehead told newspaper men today
that as far as he is concerned the
state will have, to get along without
a National Guard. II do not think
a reorganization of the Guard will be
necessary" said the executive. I'm
the first place, our men may not be
away very long and anyway / do not
think anything will be done soon in
the matter"
The records. of the auditors office
show that the Guard up to the middle
Of June, when the present emergency
arose, had fairly good sum in the
appropriations left, although it is ex-
pected that this has been drawn on
quite heavily to meet conditions aris-
ing, though later may be paid back
by the government upon the proper
showing. 5a -. ..
The office expense fund Of $500
has been used the heaviest Of any,
$2,065.88 having been spent. Armory
rental appropriation Of $4,000 showed
by the books Of the auditor that $751;
2lo.03 has been used. The $4,000 for
the support Of the Guard showed that
$26,l47.5l had been used, while the
$4,000 appropriated for the promotion
Of rifle practice showed that but ST.
1910 had been used. :.
This would indicate that in spite OF
the lack of generous appropriation by
the legislature the militia board has
been handling the funds in careful
manner and would have been able to
have gone through the biennium with.
out much if any Of deficiency, had
not the present trouble came along.
OF course, several companies OF the
Guard had been mustered out because
OF lack OF proyer encouragement, but
in the present crisis 1t was easy to fill
their places, which might not have
been filled had things continued as
they were.
