The Boy Scouts.

Nine years ago yesterday. General
Sir b ten-POwell organized the Boy
Scouts of England. Since, the hero OF
Mafeking has extended his organiza
ton around the world. 1t was brought
to America in 1910 and at once seized
the imagination of the boys of this
country. Love of scouting was aroused
in General Baden-PoweH through
reading the novels of Fenimore Coop
er and it was through his training as
a scout that, with only 700 men. he
held Mafeking against 10000 Beers
for seven months until the British re-
lief arrived.
Today, there are more than 2.5OO.-
900 Boy Scouts in the world and
America stands at the head of the
list Today the Boy Scouts of this
country number 100000. Thousands
Of boys in crowded cities have learned
how to shoot, ride, skate, swim, run,
use tools, and to know the woods and
It's ways. Many have acquired self
reliance and resourcefulnes for every
osccasion. The Scouts Law reads as
follows:
Honor among comrades, feaIty and
obedience, to parents, employers and
snperiors and to count the day lost
whose low descending sun views from
the hand no generous action done"
Chivalary towards women and girls,
protection of the weak and considera-
ton for the aged and infirm."
