FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE

An interesting development in scout ing relationship with the universities has been seen in the work of the Ithaca (N. Y.) council, Boy Scouts of Amer ica, in connection with Cornell uni versity. A meeting of the students at- tending Cornell university who have been scouts was held. The local coun- ci. brought before these students their desire to be of assistance to them and serve them in every way possible while they are at college, and to bring before them their opportu- nifty to help scouting nationally. Sev- eral of the young men who have been scouts are helping with the local work. One of them who came to the meeting was Chou-son-King, who has been an assistant scoutmaster in Shanghai, China.
 At Syracuse university a similar movement is on foot in the way of get ting together students who have been scouts.
 Recently at Oxford university in England, National Educational Direct or Lorne w. Barclay investigated the University Scout club there and found it very helpful activity. This sug- gestion may be of real service in col lege towns. not only to the students but to the boys of that community.

 SCOUTS Conducted by National Council of the
 Boy Scouts of America.)
BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February 8 is the date that every boy scout in the land remembers. It is the red-letter date in his calendar. For it was on Feb ruary that the Boy Scouts of Amer ica was incorporated, and it is an es- tablished custom for all scouts to cele- brate the event annually.
 The custom has assumed the form of huge birthday party for the whole organization, starting with or at least including February 8, and continuing through Lincoln's birthday, February F. This is the eleventh birthday year or the scouts. The idea back of the celebration is to bring more definitely to the attention of each community the value of scouting as a program for work with boys for the development of character and training for citizen ship.
 At the hour of S:15 on February every registered boy scout, no matter where he may be, is supposed to stand at salute and commit himself anew to the scout oath and law. In most cases the scouts gather for this cere- mony in their troop meeting places. The emphasis of this celebration is such as will impress the solidarity of the movement upon the entire mem- bership, as we'll as foster the feeling of the individual responsibility of each scout to the organization as a whole.
 Heretofore the scouts have stood at salute when their watches an- nounced :15, which, on account of the difference in time between East and West did not make the act simultane- ous. This year the effort was made to have the salute at exactly the same moment everywhere. corresponding to :15 eastern time, the time of the clock in the national headquarters.

SECOND CLASS SCOUT HERO.

One of the recent recipients of the gold honor medal awarded by the national court of honor of the Boy Scouts of America is Joseph H. Mar dis of East Liverpool, O. While still a second class scout Mardis, when on a camp trip, went to a midnight frs with his scoutmaster, w. B. William son. As the two passed along a high tension wire carrying 2,2OO volts of electricity burned and as it fell struck the scoutmaster across the chest. Fully realizing his own danger, Scout Mar dis made every effort to save his con- panion, by trying to pull him away from the wire. Having succeeded in doing this, badly burned as he was himself and suffering intense pain, he worked over the unconscious and dy- ing scoutmaster, rendering first aid un- til he himself tainted.

NATIONWIDE SCOUT GOOD TURN.

"If there is any one time more than another when the good turn in scout ing should be emphasized and lived up to with double spirit it is upon the occasion of our anniversary celebra- tion," said Chief Scout Executive James E. West in announcing plans for the celebration of the boy scouts organizations eleventh birthday. "I want every boy scout and scout troop from coast to coast to do more turns, better turns than ever before. Make the good-turn idea so infectious that all America will be doing it. in the same spirit which the scouts carry it out daily"

When James Henry went to grand mothers he expected to get candy, or money to spend for it at the grocery.
 On one occasion, following the usual demand for candy, grandmother fore stalled any further requests by re- marking that there was not a cent in the house.
 The yOungster was taken aback for a moment before he gravely inquired Well, grandmother, couldn't you write a check?'
