sCOUTMASTERs NEEDED.

"Fine work !" everybody said when
the Pueblo boy scouts rose to the oc.
casiOn in the emergency Of the food
and went about aiding the police, rem
dering first aid and saving human lives
at the risk of their own. "Wonderful
movement" we cry when we read how
boy scouts fight forest fires, act as
traffic police, conduct city clean-ups,
take the lead in safety-first and anti
fly and saye-the-wild-fiowe cam
paigns.
Again, when we happen to notice a
scout giving his seat to a lady on a
car, stopping to tell stranger how to
get to his destination, interrupting his
ball game to help somebody fix tire,
jumping into the street to pick up a
bit Of broken glass or banana skin,
we are impressed by the spirit which
somehow or other has been instilled
into these lads. Though still just
everyday youngsters, they are little
straighter, little manlier because of
the rigorous discipline of the boy scout
training, little more given to service

ber that without the scoutmaster's en-
thusiasm and devotion to the boys none
of these results could be realized
There are 1865 scoutmasters in the
United States serving 10000 boys
They are busy men, all of them, doc
tors, lawyers, ministers, school teach
ers. business men. bankers, editors,
electricians, photographers, giving
their time, their energy, their best
thought and services 20 scouting But,
despite all this devoted and patriotic
work the country over, there are hun
dreds of boys wishing to get into scout
ing who cannot do so because there
are not enough leaders is, scout
masters.
Let every live. red-blooded, boy
hearted man In America stop and ask
himself whether he isn't letting
priceless opportunity pass by him if he
isn't lining up with scouting, doing his
bit for the boys of America who need
his leadership.

New York-Cats all over the world

Sea scouts are, in addition to their
technical water training. learning
something that all good Americans
prize as worth more than diamonds
and gold, namely: judgment.

Judgment bangs your schooner boats

worse, rocks the boat. drops oars over

comes to boy or man only after he
has tried to beat the sharp-eyed old
girl. known as Mother Nature, who
has skinned his knuckles, blacked his
eye, doused him and spanked him. Her
