 Americas future depends upon it's boys. The kind of citizenship they will furnish depends in a large measure upon their early training and to what useful purposes it is devoted. The boy raised in a haphazard manner is likely to be a haphazard member Of society and a burden instead of a benefit to it.
 The congress of the United States, recognizing the value of proper train ing of American boyhood, granted a special charter for the organization of the Boy Scouts of America. In this forward movement have enlisted 375,- coo of the 10000, 900 American boys between twelve and twentv-one years of age who ought to be given the ben eft of Boy Scout discipline. training and practice.
 The Boy Scouts raised several hun dred million dollars in the Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamps cam paigns They did splendid work for the Red Cross in it's several national cam paigns They served the government in many other effective ways during the great world war No better school of patriotism was ever devised and is growth should be fOstered by the fath- CTS and mothers of this land. and all those who believe in American ideals and institutions. The Boy Scout move ment needs no argument in it's behalf for by it's works and accomplishments is it known. and they more than justify it's existence.
 The idle hours of our boys, produc- tive usually of harm, are utilized in an interesting way. This feature alone is sufficient to commend it to the consId-
