Church Is Behind #.
Scouting and the Church" was re-
sponded 10 by Rev. Henry Van VAL
kenberg- He said: The church IS
behind scouting because il covers the
IS years OF the boys life in which
the churches find their largest re-
cruiting- This is the formative period
The church is not satisfied that the
boy should receive military training
before his 18th year. The training
which a Boy Scout receives gives ali
the military training that is needed
up 70 that age / say All hailE 70
the scouts for the splendid work they
are doing; because there is a sense
Of discipline and law that is govern
ing these boys, and If we had had
more Of that p years ago there would
be less OF deviltry today. The scout
movement is training boys SO that
they can be adopted into the church.
and therefore the churches are for
the scout movement"

Scouting and the School" 4 believe
that the scout movement is probably
the greateBt piece Of educational
philosophy that has been added 10
educational work in the last 100 years.
Il is doing what the schools and the
churches have been doing in a desul-
tory way for a generation We have
believed in these principles centuries,
but we have never been able to put
them in practice as the scout move
neut is doing. The school is looking
to the Boy Scouts 10 help in disciplin-
ing the schools and in up holding the
cha-e cter and morals Of the students.
1T IS rare 10 find a Boy Scout do
ng anything in the school that is dis
-c.c-able TO himself OF 70 the scouts.
Every teacher is glad 70 have Boy
Scouts, because she feels that she
has in the scout an ally"

world coming, and one Of the ques- Z
