SCOUT TRAINING SAVES LIFE.

The value of the boy scout training
was recently shown in Carrollton,
Mich, when Walter Price, boy scout,
rescued the three-year-old daughter of
Stanley Stefankowsl1i from drowning
In clstern. The little girl had wan
dered into a neighbor's yard and fell
into the cistern. Women who saw
her were too excited to do anything.
Scout Price, who was hiking In the
vicinity, heard their cries and went
to the rescue. The water was consld-
erably over his head, so he thrust
pole into the cistern, crawled down
and held the child up until help ar
rived.

The Salvation Army, which won
for itself such a warm place in our
hearts by its splendid war work. is
about to embark upon a new pro-
gram---one of constructive service
for every village and hamlet in the
country.
Having begun its work in the city

branch out and extend its helping
hand to the small town and the iso-
lated community.
In doing so 1t hopes to reach the
source of many of the disquieting
streams that flow continuously to-
ward the great city. Social problems
will be dealt with at their origin.
The Army will rely for success In
this movement on thousands of ad-
visory boards made up from the
best elements Of the remote commu-
nfties--public-spi citizens, who
ganization In remedying such prob
lens as juevnile delinquency, de-
tendency and poverty.
Thus by curling the stream before
1t grows into torrent, the new pro-
gram aims at prevention rather than
cure. The maynard girl who runs
away from the small town, lured by
tne Guys cabaret and dance halls, or
with the desire to hide her shame
will be reached at the starting point.
The Salvation Army has always
battled against sorrow and despair in
the front lines, and from Its long
years OF experience has developed the
proper method of extending help. If
1t can enlarge its influence without
interference with the existing relief
agencies, II it can prevent human
