Observation-Disclosures

Copyright. 1919. by Frank Crane,

President Wilson has recommended that
the period beginning June s, Flag Day, TO
June H. be observed over the country as
Boy Scout Week, for the purpose Of
strengthening the work Of the Boy Scouts
Of America. The President urges that in
every community Citizens Committee be
organized TO cooperate in extending the
Boy Scout programme 10 a larger proportion
of American boyhood." His proclamation
says:
''The Boy Scout movement should not only
be preserved, but strengthened. IL deserves
the support of all pubic-spirited citizens.
The available means for the Boy Scout
movement have thus far sufficed for the
organization and training Of only small
proportion of the boys of the country. There
are approximately 100000 boys in the
United States between the ages of IL and
Il. OF these only $4,000 are enrolled as
members of the Boy Scouts Of America
America cannot acquit herself common
surately with her power and influence in
the great period now facing her and the
world unless the boys Of America are given
better opportunities than heretofore TO pre-
pare themselves for the responsibilities of
citizenship"
The real problem Of government is 10 de-
wise some means by which the innate mar
tial spirit, enthusiasm, and love of adven-

ture that is in every youth shall find some
other outlet than the ancient and dishonor-
able method Of going out and Strengthening
ones neighbors to the music Of bands and
the Tapping of flags.
The trouble with peace is that its emblem
is a dove. The dove is very amiable bird,
but nobody gets excited over it. 1t is too
negative.
Human beings need some outlet for their
energy. This outlet ought TO be discovered
in great works of construction, investiga-
ton, invention, and other forms of useful
service. Our problem is TO eliminate the
poison idea that our national nobility and
grandeur depend at all upon killing or other
forms of destruction.
The Boy Scout movement is admirably
adapted to help along this idea. 1t sup
plies adventure, outdoor life, discipline and
those forms of activity that appeal to the
boy soul. And it does this without any
faint or implication of militarism.
It's members are soldiers of the Common
Veal. They are inspired by helpful and
constructive ideals.
The Boy Scout movement has demon
strated its efficiency as a school of the right
kind of citizenship. The boy who takes
part Of it, absorbs its enthusiasms and sub
jects himself to its appeal, cannot fail to
be not only happier boy but a stronger
and better one.
