THE FlFTIETH BOY A SCOUT

About one boy In fifty will remain
after the feast and of his own accord
offer to clear up the things or To wash
the dishes. A number Of others would
help If asked. A stone is on the pave
ment where traffic is passing, and au-
tos may hit IL and skid, or it may be
piece of glass. One boy in fifty VIA
stop and pick It up and put il off the
road, where 1t will do no damage,
where 80 boys will pass by and never
think or care about who Is damaged
by it.
The fiftieth boy Is the one that Is
wanted in business. in positions OF
trust, in any occupation where care
fulness Is necessary. BY this It is not
meant that only one boy In fifty will
learn TO BE- careful. for Il majority Of
the boys in time learn by experience
to- be careful and thoughtful, though 1t
sometimes takes costly experience to
teach them. And here is where the
trouble lies. Ferty-niHe boys do not
heed what Is told them about being
careful, whore ono boy does. and The
forty -nine learn in the costly school
Of experience.
