tary training for fear that IL Will
make a nation of militarists. It is
no more true of one than it is Of the
other Military training will tend to
produce better type of men for
civic life, just as well as to fit men
to fight for their country. Our Boy
Scout movement though not military
has already borne fruit in this re-
spect.
War Service Prime Duty.
4 want to make this appeal and
I want to make it as strongly as l
can. Every man of fighting age if
fit to 90 and allowed to go ought to
go to war l say allowed because
this is an exclusive war. Every man
of fighting age who is physically fit
ought to go to the front, and it will
be mighty sight easier for him to
explain to his children later on why
he did go than why he did not.
There are men who cannot go and
who ought not to go. Their duty will
be to take the place Of those who
do go.
Scout Service Next.
'eNow any man who is too old or
who for a good reason cannot go to
the front can do his part by volun-
teering as a scoutmaster and take
the place of some man who has al
ready gone or who has got to 60.
On the whole the scoutmasters and
similar officers represent a very high
type-an unusually high type-of
leadership in the community. We
have right to expect the very best
men in the comm unity to come for
ward and do that work. ! wish to
emphasize with all my power that it
is a very unpatriotic thing to let the
Bow Scout movement in any COM
murlity become hampered in any way
by the fact that the scoutmasters
and leaders of the boys have shown
their patriotism by going into the
army, and 1 urge you who stay at
home to show that you know what
patriotism is by coming in and TAX
ing their places.
The Duty of Those Who Stay
eff a man says that he regrets
that he cannot go to war, but that
he would like to serve his country,
ask him what he is doing otherwise.
You can serve your country in some
way at home. You can be a scout
master, thereby taking the place Of
someone else who has gone to war.
Nobody is doing what he ought
to do in this country, now, unless he
is trying to win this war-by fight
ing, by supporting those who nave
gone to fight, by taking their places,
by doing the work they have left be-
hind Sometimes it is one mem Der
of the firm who does the whole work
of the firm because his partner has
gone to war. Sometime 1t is the
older man or the infirm who does
the work of the stronger man who
has gone to the front; or he is doing
his work in other lines
