here in the islands" Boys. that's
all got. was so busy; then came
to my senses and knew what was
going on. but Mr. Nina had flown
away. Nevertheless, it made me stop
and think: AMI | want you to think -
think how mucn time YOUR scoutmast-
er has given to You and what it mems
TO him. He is a busy man with his
living to earn, and maybe some boys
and girls to care for at home; but he
loves you or he surely would not be
doing for you what he e doing: Boys,
wake up and thiEk about it; when he
asks you to do something for him, do
it: and when ne asks you TO do some
thing for the editor, do that too. even

marks for it.

officials were present. The follow

el-making, Neeley. Cassidy and Har-
ris: baseball, Willis and Harris:

decided that one of ihem was like me
he needed few more lessons.
Along came a letter from Mrs. Jack
London the other tday saying how
much her husband had enjoyed the
work Of the scouts at last years car
nival. These things are all pleasant
to hear, especially when coming from
such a wonderful SCOTT as Jack Lon
don was at heart. He certainly could
understand all your hoLes and fancies,
could appreciate all your tales OF
| tramping and camping and story tell
ing by freight: your first aid to ami
mails, and hundred other things for

things himself
The principal of Kaahumanu school
surely has enough boys to handle, but
he is interested enough in them to-
form them into patrols and into a
