THERE ARE NO BAD BoYs,'

There are no bad boys. We make
this statement confidently, knowing
that 1t win be Endorsed by educators
and all those who have spent their
lives in working on the boy problem.
We will defend it in spite of all the
broken windows, stolen oranges and
canned dogs in Christendom.
There are weak boys, boys who lack
fesourcefulness, boys whose ideas oil
right and wrong are distorted, but
there never was boy who did not
naturally-consciously or unconscious
ly-do the things which he believed
to be right.
The trouble comes when parents,
teachers and the others who are re-
sponsible for the youngsters develop
ment fail to fill his time with useful
activity. The forces of nature must
operate. we cannot stop them while
we take our afternoon nap. The wind
must blow, the water must flow, and
the boys brain and muscles must
work. We put q windmill In the path
Of the wind and it draws water as JOY
Ously as it upsets the chairs on the
veranda and whacks the family wash
from the line. We put q water-wheel
in the stream and it grinds the grain
with the energy which it would other
wise dissipate in washing out its
banks and roofing out the trees. These
things we know, yet we too often per-
nit youthful energy, our most valu-
able asset, to run riot. We even at
tempt to dam it and then complain be-
cause it Stops over and does dam
age.
The program of the Boy Scouts Of
America is the mill in the stream Of
boyhood. It provides something use
full for every boy to do every minute.
KnOt-tying, f1rst-afd and bandaging,
signaling, trailing and tracking, fire
building and extinguishing, camp cook
Ing, swimming, earning and saving
money, hiking, mapmaking and map
reading, practical study of flowers,
plants and trees, earth and sky are in
Guided in the Scouts program for the
first year. After these a much broad
err field is opened, including founda-
ton work in every known trade and
profession.
A boys first idle moment is the
starting point of whatever trouble he
makes in the world. It is also the
big opportunity of the man who is
wise enough and patriotic enough to
tdrn natural energy into constructive
channels. Already 10000 schoolmas
ters are directing the activities of
10000 boys in this country, and the
is only five years old.-Re-
printed From Scouting

DOES AWAY WITH sIGNBoARDs
Removal of UnsightIy Advertising
Along State-Aid Roads.

In the belief that ungainly and nn-
slightly signs Of an advertising nature
along public highways mar the beauty
Of the road itself and of the contiguous
landscape, the Illinois highway COM
mission has directed that all such adj
vertising signs be removed from along
all state-afd roads.
The order came in letter directed
from Chief State Highway Engineer w.
W. MARI for the commission to all adj
vertiSers. Other communications sought
the cooperation Of county highway SUI
perintendents and through them to
township officials as well, to the end
that the antisign campaign may be car
rfed to q beneficial conclusion.
The state highway commission de-
sires first Of all, Of course, to conserve
the interests of the state-aid roads.
The placing of signs has become such
a universal practice that it has come
to amount to nothing less than nui'
sance, in the opinion Of the commits
sion. Moreover, the commission be-
neves such staring objects as the ma
jority Of signboards of today do not
really advertise; that; in many in.
stances, they repel instead of attract
the favor Of travellers.
The order is expected to help bring
Illinois chain of state-aid roads up to
the top notch of taste and natural
beauty.

In one hour Is beds were ready,
doctor and nurse from the navy in
attendance, and arrangements made
for the Scouts to do the washing and
cooking for the crowd. The outfit is
now registered with the Red Cross.
Last fall this troop distinguished it
self during coast patrol practice, by
communicating with an unknown troop
three and a half miles distant. Inter-
national Morse with flag was used.

ANY OLD cANEs7

The American Girls Aid society,
which has devoted itself to the collec-
ton of clothing and other materials
for French victims of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavor to
collect canes to be used by the MANNED
and crippled soldiers. There is big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands of canes in the United States
which are not in use. If the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters of the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue, New
York city, they will be appreciated.
1t is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes and
can develop artistic ability in making
up this material in serviceable form.
