Il was much interested in the ex-
hibition Of hand-work OF the South
Bend Boy Scouts exhibited at the
oliver hotel on the 18th inst. In
closely examining the different
things, the boys had made, I was
struck with the ingenuity and ac-
curacy displayed and the remark
able ability which boys possess now
adays. When I was a boy, Boy Scout
organizations were not in existence,
and men did not interest themselves
in boys generally as they do today.
Men now realize that boys are the
teach and help them in becoming
good citizens.
The Boy Scout oath IS a splendid
creed. much resembling the Athen-
ian oath that Greek youths took
centuries ago. Boys who follow the
principles Of the Boy Scout oath

country, and cannot fail 70 have
happy and successful lives.
Il am greatly Interested in the
