THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

A statement by an Eagle scout:
Many person has proved himself
an utter failure in life because he
lacked the pep and the push that COM
pei success.
Why? Simply because lie hadn't
been brought up to put his shoulder
to the wheel. He lacked that greatf
virtue SO vitality important, so neces-
sary for a successful career-fghtfng
spirit! >,
One of the objects of the oUy scout
organization is to teach self-reliance
and persistency; to stick to nropo-
Sition till 1t is accomplished: to use
encouragement as an impetus toward
that accomplishment. What finer les
son could there be? The boy raut is
taught to carry his own load Without
a murmur, wi bout pulling long
face" or falling by the ways;de and to
carry it with smile. Each and ev-
cry scout is taught to meet the turn
ing of fate without a finch.
Though the boy scouts motto is BE
prepared" we might supplement it
with still another: Don't give up
till the whistle blows"
Take the average scout; what is
failure to him? He is taught to smile
at defeat. He hits in all the harder,
more determined than before to attain
his goal. He takes pride in this spirit
and climbs the hill under his own
power, not under the powers and do
ings of others. He puts full faith In
himself and builds his castle on the
foundation OF persisteney. He stands
for the square deal, for all that is
just in life, and in standing for these
principles he stands for what his en-
tire organization represents.

peace-loYing member of the Amerf-

more than its weight in gold. Its date
Is BOG A. D. On one side it bears the
Inscription "Magnus," the title given
the Emperor Constantine. On the 9TH
or side are the inscriptions "Voties
Xxx" "Beatas Tranquilitas," and
"Percursa Treveris." The latter
