WORK OF A scouTMAsTER

A big work, this being master
scout. What manner of nun Is needed
to do 1t?
First Of all, the sc0utmaster must
be real man himself, the kind Of q
man boys will naturally follow, admire,
respect. emulate and obey. No amount
Of book knowledge, no degrees In peda-
gogy will avail If he doesn't impress
the boys us the "real stuff"
He must possess that indefinable
quality we Gull personality or person
al magnetism" He must be man Of
proved worth Of character. He must
stand four-square to the scout princi-
pies in practice as well as precept.
To be successful boy leader, man
must know human nature In general
and boy nature In particular. He must
be able to remember back to his own
boyhood clearly enough to be able to
get the boys viewpoint. He must be
enough Of boy himself. whatever his
years, to put himself into relation
Of sympathetic comrndeship with boys,
and at the same time be enough of
man and master to keep sufficiently
nloof, so that his boys will recognize
his authority and accept 1t as final.
He must possess tact, initiative, pow
er Of quick decision and action, for al
most any emergency calling for the
practice Of these qualities may arise
at any time In his work with boys.
The scoutmaster is also expected to
get in touch with such experts as his
community offers, and enlist their serv-
Ices in scout training.
Boys have an immense respect for
anybody who can do things" The
wise scoutmaster frankly owns himself
an amateur, and a learner If neces-
sary, ut the same time keeping himself
In 80 fnr rs possible ahead Of his boys.
Three hours week Is probably the
minimum time required. Nevertheless
1t Is true that some Of the best scout
masters IRE otherwise the busiest men.
Just because they are busy men. they
are apt to be efficient men, men of
power and personality, accustomed to
putting their margins Of leisure to
profitable use. Certainly no better use
could be found for the spare hours of
good citizen and patriot than to help
in the process of making men, men who
are to be the hope and salvation Of our
war rent civilization.

first. Further Information when
received.
Harris, The Aljt. General :"
Under dates OF Nov. 8 Lloyd
wrote toa party Ia town and did
not tell of being wounded. Nov. 10
he wrote to his mother, using Red
Cross paper, and the first sentence
was: Don't worry mother over me
for am getting along nicelv." He
further stated: II think war will Ike
over very soon the way things look
at present." Nov. III lie wrote to q
party in town telling that the Wal
was over, but in no instance did hi
state that he was wounded. The fact
that he wrote on Red Cross paper
instead Of the Y. NJ. c. A. paper
that he usually used looks suspicious
No further word has been recei
we'd, and we naturally feel very anx.
ious, but hope for the best.
