The suggestion OF Prof n. a..

Prof Gehring, in a lecture on

could be paid by submitting their

SCOUTS ALL ON
THEIR METTLE
Every Troop In City Will Take
Part In Anniversary Pro-
gram Tonight

About all OF the boy scouts OF De
troit will meet in the Detroit ar
mory Thursday night. TO give dem
lnstration OF their efficiency. Every
branch OF the organization In this
city will be represented and II is
promised that ~ will be- the most
elaborate exposition OF scout work
ever offered in Detroit. There has
been an enormous demand for tick
cts, but the committee announces
that there are still a few seats left.
While II is part OF the ritual OF
the boy scout to do good turn for
some person every day OF his life,
The watchfulness OF the scout is TO
Ne redoubled for the week beginning
Feb. s. In celebration OF the seventh
anniversary OF the scout moyemnt
in this country.
The boys who have had the bene-
az OF the scout training did not wait
for Feb. s. however, to speed up
their good turns" Most OF them
have ever been watchful for an op-
portunity to do a good turn for some
one else. but reports OF kindly acts
performed by the future defenders
Of the land received this week show
that the boys are eager to make the
anniversary week memorable.
Kindly acts reported TO the head
quarters include everything from
assisting q blind woman across the
street to bandaging the bruised foot
OF some boys pet dog. The ice that
formed on the sidewalk in front OF
the poor widows home was quickly
cleared by conscientious youth and
a blanket that dropped from n shiv-
ering horse was replaced. These are
typical instances OF the small kindly
acts that the boys are expected 10
perform always. but doubly so this
week.
At the big scout rally Thursday
evening the Detroit local council will
act as a reviewing committee. assist
ed by many prominent business and
professional men. The rally was
planned by VI. l. Eddy, national
scout commissioner. who wants to
educate the people OF Detroit as TO
the real meaning OF boy scout work.
Mr. Eddy will remain In Detroit for
several weeks TO conduct a cam
paign to stimulate the growth OF the
work here.
