executive. One-half of his time will be devoted to the work of the Phoenix council and one-half to tho Apache council, and each will share half of the expense.
 The man employed is Tom Murray of Galveston, Tex, who has made wonderful success of scout work there. It is interesting to know that the Galveston council offered him more salary to remain there than he will receive here. But the fact that Texas schools stant thirty-ninth in the United States and Arizona schools third was deciding factor i-l his coming. MT. Murray before accept ing the position of scout executive here assured himself that his family would be located where school facili- ties were second to none. The members of the executive com mittee expect live active scout work to begin when Tom Murray arrives on the job Oct 1.
 Members of the executive commit | tee of the Apache council are George A. Johnson. president; L. H. Van Spanckeren, Francis Bloy. Alma M. Davis, secretary; John s. Allen, A. E. Price. Oris Holdren, Fred J. Joyce. Charles c. Woolf, vice president.
 Those attending from Phoenix were: Dr. John Dennett, Jr., and | Ciaude ID. Jones.
