SCOUT S
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America.)
SCOUTING IN FRANCE.

Scouting is being used as a means
of restoring the physical and mental
balance of the boys and young men
of the devastated area in the depart
ment of the AiSne.
LOrne w. Barclay, educational direc-
tor of the National Council of Boy
Scouts of America, is in France on
special leave of absence from duty
in America in order that, as the Uni
ted States representative of scouting
he may devote his whole time to the
direction of scouting in France in con-
junction and cooperation with the
American Committee for Devastated
France
Last year Mrs. A. Murray Dixie and
Miss Anne Morgan made an investiga-
tiOn as to the status and conditions
of boy life and found that not only
were the boys undernOurished and un-
derSiZed, but that, as a result Of the
war strain, they were in highly nerv-
Gus state. Coordination was lacking
to such degree as to make efficient
development of young man power al
most impossible.
Various efforts were made to coun-
teract this by regular physical exer-
cises, calisthenics, gymnastics and
games, with little result.
The mind of the boy was not dis
tracted from his surroundings, which
were all reminiscent of war, for long
! enough period to obtain any lasting
| benefit
| In desperation, Miss Morgan ap-
| pealed to the Boy Scouts of America.
| AS a result, Mr.. Barclay went over
| last summer to conduct an expert
mental camp. This was so successful
| that plans were Immediately made to
open several camps in the summer OF
1921, if finances could be secured.
Boy scouts throughout the country
were asked to contribute $25, the cost
of two weeks camp trip for one
| French boy. This purchases his equip
ment and uniform, transports him tc
camp and home again. Far more i'm.
| portant, it fits him to organize scout
ing in his own community, and gives
him an even finer conception of pa.
triotism and courage.

to a stronger international friendship

The secretary of the American Com.

that by October the first sufficient
monies will be in hand to defray all
the expenses of the two camps, one al

The Boy Scouts of America is again
to render peace service to the War de-
partment by working with the federal
air service in constructing airways.
Scouts will guard landing stations and
lay markers. Many accidents occur
because these routes have not been
clearly marked hitherto, and it is be-
lieved that scouts can reuderl real
service and even be instrumental in
actual saving of life by marking out
the names of each town along the

PERsHlNG SAYS:

"Boy scouts are not trained particu-
larry to be of use to the military or
ganizations of our country; they are
trained primarily and effectively to be
good citizens, and that is what we
need, above every other thing. If we
can inspire in them such ideals as
those for which the boy scout move
ment stands there can be no fear as
to Americas future"
