gram.

home an inspection blank to be filled
out by the children with the assist
ance of the parents. 1t is desired
that each home make report of this
kind. These will be turned over to
, the chief of the fire department who
will file such data for future use.
The Bemidji association has offered
to give a prize of $40 to the school
which secures the largest percentage
of blanks properly filled out.

that the local stores decorate their
windows during the entire week Of
October 4 to with such material

An encouraging development of the
year 1919 was the action taken by
the American Legion to substantially
contribute to the solution of the
problem of leadership of the Boy
Scouts of America.
At their national convention held
in Minneapolis in November, 1919,
the following RESOLUTION was passed:
Resolved, That the American lie.
gion heartily commends the princi
pies and achievements of the Boy
Scouts of America and recommends
that each post assist the boy scout
troops in its community in whatev-
er manner practicable
With the cooperation of 1t. Col
Theodore Roosevelt, of the Scouts
National Executive Board. nlans have
been developed whereby each post
will be requested to organize com
mittee for cooperation with the Boy
Scouts of America.
The principle responsibility of this
committee will be the selection from
the membership of the post of those
men who are especially adapted to
become leaders of groups of boys as
scoutmasters or expert instructors.
These men are to be grouped in
different cities for special training
and then enlisted for active service
Already in the organization of new
troops in churches schools or else
where, the leadership has been Sc
cured from among the membership
Of the American Legion. These men
era in many casc5 willing and indeed
anxious to conoinue to serve their
country, and what better method is
here for service than helping boys
o become better citizens.
