action than they have ever had before.
They have plenty of money also. And
in many cases these working boys fall
into evil ways and commit crimes. This
is not the usual record of the boy who
gees into the industries; Il may be, IN
deed, that many thus engaged are be-
ing saved from delinquency by their
work. But il is the record O. enough
of them for Us to know that II Is an
element in the problem that Is raised.
Aside from the danger o. delinquency
there are other dangers which the boys
of Europe face to-day. Ore is the dan
ger that they may get wrong attitude
in regard to the war. Boys do not un-
derstand causes and underlying prin-
ciples very well, and they 10 not really
understand why this war IS being
fought. But they do know that II Is
being fought. and they are taught 70
glorify militarism in eyery way. Ine
danger is that they may gioriiy u Tor

shoulder the responsibilities to-mor-
row. they may fasten upon US the very
militarism we are fighting TO destroy
This is a danger which all wars bring.
but it is heightened IN this war oy
virtue of its immensity ana destrue-
tiveness; the boys will come into re-
spons!bilities at an earlier age than
ever before.
Another danger Is that they may be
lured from school by the great oppor-
tunities held out 20 them by the IN
dustrjes. Never were they able 70
secure employment so easily. and never
we're they able 20 earn 50 mueh money.
The hope OF the future Is with these
New-York tribune., 1917-12-16

and such an opportunity as that whicn
comes to them at the present time. Dur
ing the last few years the age at
which men have been shou.dering the
heaviest responsibilities Of society has
been constantly reducing. Now GENES
this war, and bee OF the new re-
spect which the world has fos young
sters, because Of the things they have
done, and because Of the destruction OF
such a multitude of men, it Is practl-
cally certain that those who are now
boys will come into responsibilities at
a very early age. Upon the shoulders
Of those who are now lads must rest
the task of reconstruction and reo"-
ganiZation after the war. This is the
challenge, and herein lies the oyp -
tunity.
In order to fulfil Il the boy na {.

nothing more. Now is the time 20 in
still into the minds of the young the
deepest lessons OF our governmental
aims and ideals. Never was there such
an opportunity 10 get an adequate

tales might be told OF the outrages
committed upon the children Of Bel
gium, Poland, Armenia and Northern
France. To-day a vast multitude OF
children are depending upon organized
charity. Institutions, organizations
and individuals all over the world are
working to meet the situation, but these
efforts have thus FAR proved TOO small
to cope with the problem.
The most interesting phase OF the
wars connection with the children from
the viewpo.Et Of the student Of social
problems is the impetus which the con-
aict has given 70 juvenile delinquency.
This has special reference 20 the boys.
The little girls become delinquent also.
and they are joining the ranks OF the
immoral in Europe to-day pt q very

are dealing mostly with the boys. In

ested in protecting the boys than the

We have now another Eagle Scout
in the Hawaiian islands, namely Rob
ert L. Macconel, formerly Of Troop
VIII but now transferred to Troop
". He has the honor Of attaining
the rank Of Eagle Scout exactly one
year after he had been sworn in as
Tenderfoot, the lowest rank, in the
boy scout organization. After pass
ing his tenderfoot tests he took his
second and first class tests, which
he passed at the end Of four months.
He was sworn in as first class scout
on June "a, 1916. This scout then
was entitled to take merit badges and
had the honor Of being awarded his
first merit badge on his birthday, July
3. This merit badge was swimming
and It paved the way for other badges
which he soon obtained. He was the
sixth life scout, and had the honor
Of being the third star scout In the
territory He then had to go through
the work Of drawing map. con.
structing bridge across a gulch and
then finally building shack which
three occupants could live in. He sue.
ceeded In passing all of his Eagle
tests on April IL, 1917, which made
him the fourth Eagle scout Of Hawaii,
but owing TO q mistake on the part
Of his troop, he was not registered
until some time later.
Scout Macconel Joined Troop VIII
on February 8, 1916, and was the first
one enrolled under its banners. Dur
ing his stay of one year and half
with this troop he held the offices
OF scribe, junior and senior leader. He
has succeeded in passing % merit
badges which have been awarded to
him on various occasions. He win
probably be presented with his Eagle
badge on Saturday, August IS, by Gov
Pinkham, just before the boys take
