PUTTING

(BY LAWRENCE HARRIS
Scout ExecHtfvel

We come IN contact with SO n1anv
boys whose very appearance plainly
shows that to all intents they have
no parents. and we so frequently dis
cover that a boy is surprised when
We suggest that possibly his Dad
could show him or helm him 70 do
something, that we are forced tn ha-
ileve that many. very many fathers.
are not in the confidence Of their sons
We have in mind a certain how who
has been truRnt from school for about
ss many DAYS as he has attended since
last September. He is hahituai
smoker and in general is Of the tvpe
that is classed as a regular rough
neck"
We recently cornered this boy and
had real heart to heart talk with
him. He was mighty loyal to his home
and stoutly maintained that he had
folks who we're Interested in him and
looked after him. But in answering
direct questions the truth was soon
apparent and how our heart warmed
to the lad
In the first place the clothes the bow
wore were SO dirty and covered with
grease that one instictively drew away
from him. His coat was ripped and
torn in number OF places. The only
rsdeeming feature about his clothing
was the shoes which were new. An
outfit Of this kind precluded his en-
tering the homes OF many bows whose
compa nionship would be helpfui to
him. He is marked as dirty brat
and mothers would quite naturally tell
their boys not 10 bring him around.
This boys own home seemed to Of
fer little that attracts q normal boy
and the result has been that he has
sought such companionship and in
terests as he could find outside his
home And he has found compan-
ions and interests. He knows where

ago that he could not remember thu
last occasion.
When this unfortunate lad has run
his course and comes before the
courts we feel that the Judge may
well ask the question-.Did this bog

Unshared smusements mean un-

what am I driving at? Just this.
In every little quarter Of the city are
small groups OF boys who form nat
ural gang. Every normal boy belongs
to some gang and by a gang I do not
mean a bad bunch" A gang IS a
small group who are mutually attract
ed to each other by reason OF natural
likes and dislikes. Each gang has a
natural leader. Some gangs have sew
eral kindred spirits who mould the
policies OF the bunch. The disposition
or these leaders determines the line OF
activity that the gang pursues.
Shall we break up the gang and de-
strov its organizations No. But we
should capitalize its possibilities and
direct it's energies along constructive
rather than destructive lines 1t Is
not the destruction OF property that
need worry US In dealing with the
gang but the destroying of high ideals
and standards OF living.
What can you do? You can do q

have in mind typical gang of six or
eight boys. or even four or I'VE. Sure

other some table games. Let these
things be accumulated and turn the
bunch loose to do what? just the nat
ural things they want to do. To mend
their wagons build bird houses, make
simple electrical experiments. play
games. and enjoy the fellowship of
each other.
Perhaps one of the families has
some spare canvas or an old tent, or
falling this. some Dad might donate
the price OF a tent. and when the
warm weather comes q few fathers
