Harding Endorses Boy
Scout Member Drive

New York, Aug. 27-In express
ing regret at being unable, because
of public business, to inspect the boy
scout encampment in Interstate park,
President Harding sent to Chief
Scout Executive West, letter en-
dorsing the membership drive now
being conducted.
The boy scout movement has
now been in progress so long," the
president said, that nobody at all
familiar with its results could pos
sibly doubt its excellent influence
upon both the boys who constitute
the membership and the men who
generously give of their time, efforts
and means to its maintenance. 1t
has been especially gratifying to me
that this movement has proved it
self strong enough to maintain en-
thusiasm and effective work since
the close of the war and that its
present outlook is so promising"
