we go to press, February. 1921, has al
ready broken the record again. We
have registered more ships in the last
five months than in the previous three
years. This is at the rate Of ITO per
cent increase annually.
I'VE have the assurance that the
seacoast program is being pushed as
the official older boy program, In 81
cities. Ships papers or preliminary
steps have already been taken by 1O4
scout centers. In some cities, notably
San Francisco, Honolulu and others,
the program has been under way for
several years without the registry Of
