ce1ved and everything, Is in readiness
for the registration of the boys. Ow-
Ing to the fact that 1t has been an
nounced that the boys will probably
register next Tuesday registration
day for the men, some of the parents
may have gotten the idea that the
scout movement is connected in some
way with the federal government.
This is not true and 1t must be I'M
derstood that the boys will not be
called on for military duty of any
sort and neither Is the scout move
ment organized for the purpose of
training boys for future war service.
The men who have endorsed the
movement in this city would not have
done SO If that was the intention. No
boy will be permitted to join the
scouts without his parents consent
and the parents signature is required
on the scouts application blank for
membership. In signing the scout ap-
plication blank boy pledges on his
honor
l. To do honor to God and my
country and to obey the scout law;
2. To help other>people at all
times.
8. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
How to Become a Scout.
To become a scout boy must be
at least twelve years of age and pass
test in the following:
Know the scout law, sign, salute
and significance of the badge.

of the national flag and the custom
ary forms of respect due to 1t.
Tie four knots.
He then takes the scout oath, is en-
rolled as tenderfoot and is entitled
to wear the tenderfoot badge.

Many prominent business men
have written letters to Boy Scout
Commissioner Brugman, endorsing
the movement. A letter signed by
President John Nagel and Secretary
James M. Fulton of the Keokuk In
dustrial association was received to-
day. It follows:
At meeting OF the Industrial
aSSOCldl1Ou uclU CIludy, IAo DOy
