CHIEF SEA SCOUT

James Austin Wilders, chief sea
scout of the Boy Scouts of America,
took his first degree in scouting from
General Byng, the hero Of Cambria.
Later he visited Baden-Powell, and be-
came so enthusiastic for the movement
that he wrote to his home in Hawaii
that he intended to inaugurate it there
just, as soon as he returned. When
he arrived in Hawaii he was met by
boy scout troop. AS soon as the boys
In Hawaii heard what he was going to
do they became so impatient that they
couldn't wait for him.
The sea scouts, Of whom Mr.. Will
der is now chief, Is new organization
designed to meet new development in
American life. We now have the Sec
ond greatest navy and we shall soon
have the greatest merchant marine in
