II is an interesting study. It is
strange that SO few parents thor

is due perhaps to the fact that par

Parental Understanding Needed.

not be appreciated and a .-y not
appreciated soon sets disc aged.
He loses ambition. He is me like
~ 20 take the path OF least r,sis-
lance and in the end be a discour-

the boy and providing a heal-hful
outlet 90 his enthusiasm and vigor
he probably VIII even exceed their
foudC . expectations when he reach
es the age of real accomplishment.
There lies the prime motive for
the existence of the scout movement
AT this time the purpose and aim
OF the BOY Scout movement Is fair
" we'll understood by most everyone
interested in boys There is one
fauacy. however. that scou.masters
and scouts themselves would ike 20
have corrected. That u.s. that the
Boy Scoats are mil.taristic. The
boys do not carry firearms nor any
weapons other than @ pocket-lSnife
and a small axe. There are con-
ssdered necessary 90 their equipment
TO facilitate comfort when camping.
II is true the boys are taught the
rudiments OF military drill regula-
tions but this IS necessary in order
10 easily handle large numbers OF
scouts while on hike or en- camp.
Is Constructive Movement.
The Boy Scout movement is en-
ti-ely a constructive movement. The
boys are taught that nothing except
things necessary 90 sustain life
should be Ges-rosed. Gods crea-
lures. especially birds. domestic an
finals and trees are being preserved
through efforts Of the scouts. While
doing this. scoutcraft promotes the
ability 10 boys 20 do things for them
selves and others. They are taught
how 90 live in the woods and 10 be
able 20 fnd their way without other
chart or compass than the 81 and
stars They are taught how 10 live
so as % keep healthy and strong. 10
face any danger that may come their
way. and 20 help one another. II IS
obvious there can be no better fCun-
dalton for character building and
good citizenship than these simple
fundamentals The watchword Of
scoutcraft Is BE prepared"
Another important thing that
scouts are taught is TO BE- ci.ivaI-

Patriotism. courtesy. loyalty

C characteristics that are emphasized
in the Boy Scouts life.
The field of scoutcraft IS So broad
and there are so many departn, nts,
that once a boy becomes a scou- he
may study and advance himself
without limit.

First he becomes a 'teuderfoot'

winch IS natural, places the average
man and woman in a way 10 become
a victim of the INSCRIPTIONS. This
inherent desire for investment also
often causes the average man and
woman to place their money with
financial undertakings that, while
they are not dishonest, are wholly
unwise and are doomed TO failure
from their inception.
The generosity Of the average man
and woman, their desire TO aid some
worthy cause, often provides an op-
pOrtunity for the INSCRIPTIONS TO ply
their unworthy efforts. Fund solicit
tation for institutions that either do
not exist or which are Of doubtful
character often IS the mode Of the
INSCRIPTIONS in Fleeing the unwary
man and woman who deeires 10 aid
those more unfortunate than them
selves.
And these various schemes for OBJ
tanning money without giving value
in return have led the chambers of
commerce throughout the state to
establish what is known as a Wig
lance commission, the commission
working as a part Of the organiza-
ton.

pressed by Press Over Ac-
tiof1 Of Ulster Cabinet.

/, London. Nov. 13.-Political interest
in England centers upon the annual
conference Of the Unienist party to be
held at Liverpool next week under the
Craftsmanship of Lord Derby. Poiiti-
lcal correspondents have hinted at a
split in; the party.. with the formation
of; an independent conservative party
under the leadership of Andrew Bonar
Law, former leader in, the house of
commons. Much Of the situation
hinges on Mr.. Bonar Laws attitude
toward the Irish peace negotiations.
in which he is represented as espous-
ing Ulster's cause. An article in the
Yorkshire Post, ascribed to Mr.. Bonar
Law, urges that the ,'Unionists, by all
their pledges in, the past, are bound
to support Ulster If she refuses to
make any more concessions.
In; thesevent of a Unionist split it is
believed In some circles that the bulk
cf the party would still follow Pre-
9nfier Lloyd George, even the Unionists
themselves, doubt whether MIR. Bonar
I,aw is physically able to lead a con-
secession against the whole
OF the influence Of former colleagues
in ;the,cab.net. 1t is admitted also In
.unionist quarters that opinion con-
Icerring the resolutions to be submit
ted at the liverpool conference inJre-
gard:.to the irish position is sharply
divided.
4 Talk Of a general election has been
revived in several quarters, but no
body speaks boldly in favor of it, and
lit Is generally conceded that whether
it Is called depends solely on the IFish
/ Developments. ~ M h
