SCOUTING IN THE SCHOOLS.

Chief Scout Executive James Il.
West sends the following message to
all boy scouts In the schools of the
country:
"a true scout is always on the alert
for opportunities to be Of service. In
many schools scouts are In charge OF
the fire drills and first aid and safety
first training. They also conduct thor
ough school yard clean-ups, guard dan
gerous crossings and see that sanitary
conditions are In force in and Oh, Of
school buildings. Are you and your
troop doing any OF these things? II
not. get busy. Talk It over with your
scoutmaster and your teacher and see
do as scout to help your school.
Remember especially that scouting
Is what you make It. IF you are a
scout and careless in your personal APP
pearance and needless of regulations
you are doing n great harm to the
movement and not being true scout
no matter how proficient you are In
signaling and fire building and the
rest. Scouting goes all through, into
every thing you do.
"I wish every flrst-class scout would

PROPAGANDA"

From the Dearborn independently
The word propaganda has an hon
orable history. 1t was for the propa-
cation of the faith, for the wider
dissemination of the light of truth,
that missionaries in the old days
braved the dangers, hardships and
privations of far ventures in savage
lands and among savage peoples. Of
late, however, it is not to be denied
that the term came to be suspected
In some quarters it is already syn
Onymous with deception. For this
we have largely to thank the impe-
tus given during the war to the prep
aration and distribution on scale of
unprecedented vastness and elabor-
ateness of ex parte arguments.
Just now newspaper offices all
over the country are being flooded
with propaganda" OF one sort or an
other. And it is curious to note a
family resemblance in much of this
voluminOus product of the ready
writer's in the pay of one interest OF
another.
There would be no objection to the
spending of thousands, perhaps mil.
lions, of dollars on this printed mat
ter and the jobs it furnishes to the
"space men" and the printers, if il
did not seek to influence public opin
ion by sailing under false cOlors
Readers would be enabled to make al
due allowances for bias and interes
in the presentation or suppression
or distortion of facts characterizinl

beled as paid advertising and tn
real names of the men who pay for

AS the experienced advertised nov
