II should also contain traces Of cheer
fulness and friendliness.
A scout not only looks every man
in the eve, but he faces squarely his
daily problems. Every boy must soon
er or later face and decide among
others these questions:
Can a boy neglect his home duties
and be a Scout?
Can a boy fail to do his school work
and be a Scout?
Does it pay TO try to fool parents
or teachers?
Who loses most when you fail tC

Are you physically stronger be

Is your mind more alert since yot
