SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUT LEADERS ASSEMBLE


The eleventh annual meeting Of the
national council, Boys Scouts of Amer
lea, took place at the Hotel Commo-
dore, New York city, recently, with
scout men to the number of 1914 pres
eIt, from SO states, representing the
enormous volunteer leadership Of the
country. These men come together
every year to review the work Of the
past II months and to make plans
for the future.
The spirit of the whole meeting was
admirably expressed In the forceful
phraseology of the Chief Scout Execu-
tive James e. West, as follows:
at must be ever borne in mind that
the basis of strength and power of the
boy scout movement will not be meas
and scout officials, the records Of ac-
tivity of the national council, or num-
Der of local councils organized; these
are but a means to an end. The value
of the scout movement will be judged
by the individual boy scout-his con-
uuCl, dppedTduCe, lIle way lie puts III
to practice the scout oath and law and
reveals that he is actually prepared
to do things worth while because of
the program of activities of the Boy
Scouts of America"
Resolutions were passed endorsing
the work of the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs In giving scouting and other
boy programs generous support and
sympathy and greetings were ordered
sent to the boy scouts of Great Brit
ain, France and Belgium, in partic-
ular, and to boy scouts everywhere
throughout the world. 1t was also
voted to continue the cooperation with
the American committee for devastated
France by again lending Lorne M.
Barclay director Of the department of
education of the national council for
period of six months to the work of
the committee in France, looking for
ward to the development of scouting
in France and particularly to assist
in bringing about unifcation of the
various branches of the scout move
ments in that country.

Baccalaureate Sermon

DR.. Elkanah Hulley, President of
the college, delivered the baecalaure-
ate sermon at the Grim Memorial
Oaurch on Sunday morning. DR..
Hulley preached very fine sermon
to tie hundreds that filled the church.
His text was taken from the 18th
verse of the 18th chaper of Revelat-
ion, "And the seventh angel sounded
and there We're great voices in heaven,
saying The Kingdoms of this world
are become the kingdom of our Lord,
and Of his Christ; and he shall reign
for ever and ever" DIR. Hulley spoke
of the kingdom of Christ coming upon
this earth and it's enduring forever.
He said that although society is hon
eycombed with evil, nevertheless we
are approaching the day when our
Lrod Jesus shall reign forever. He
also stated that we must all do our
part in bringing this about. The
more we do the quicker Gods king
dom will begin on the earth.

HoNoRs FOR BRAVE SCOUTS.

During the year 1920 the national
court of honor of the Boy Scouts of
America issued medals as follows to
scouts for conspicuous service In life
saving and first aid:
Two gold medals, Is silver medals,
IL bronze medals The gold medal
cases were particularly striking, in
volving the heroic rescue of two chill
dren from a burning building by a
young assistant scoutmaster, George
Noble of Charlton, Ia, and another
remarkably self-forgetful and fine at
tempt on the part of a scout, Joseph
Mardis of Troop No. 1, East Liver
pool, to save his scoutmaster from a
fallen live wire at the imminent risk
of his own life. Nine Of the silver
medal cases We're water accidents, and
in each case the rescuer showed ex-
ness. The other silver medal cases
were a live wire rescue, the rescue Of
children from a burning building and
from automobile and truck accidents.
The third scout law requires that a
scout shall be prepared at any time
to save life and help injured persons,
and the records of the court of honor
abundantly prove that the boys are
living up to this obligation in full
measure. In addition to these 80
medals already mentioned, 81 letters
of commentator were sent by the
court of honor to boys who per-
formed deeds of exceptional excel
out risk to their own lives.
