How 1t Eenan

Customary figure as the boy scout
has become in the United States, Gen
eral Baden-p oWell's Visit added much
to American knowledge of the move
ment. A good many newspaper read
ers were probably surprised to learn
that it owes its beginning to the Boer
war and the siege of Mafeking, with
out which it may be questioned wheth-
er there would be any boy scouts. In
command at Mafeking, General Baden
Powell looked far beyond the siege
and saw that q great and useful organ
ization of boys might be developed
from the corps Of boy messengers or
ganiZed to serve the forces holding
that hard-pressed town. That was the
beginning of it, but the same force of
character that defended Mafeking car
ried forward the boy scout idea until
it was generally recognized as
project for character building rather
than encouraging militarism in the
young. Another bit Of information
that probably surprised many Ameri-
cans was that Baden-Powell is de-
scended on his mothers side from
Capt. John Smith.

ed in hearings on measures which will
