"Was it Drink, Father?"

The late Archbishop Ireland of St.
Paul, Minnesota, in the course of a
round of the rural parish, found it
necessary at one place to ride with
a country drayman.
AS they were passing Through a
small village, the archbishop pointed
to a tiny frame Catholic church and
said to his companion.
Il was the pastor Of that church
thirty-two years ago."
The drayman had no idea of the
identity of his distinguished guest,
for it was a raw day and the arch'
bishop had his topcoat buttoned high;
the driver turned and gazed at him
curiously. Then he asked sympathet-
ically:
"And what caused your downfall,
father. Was it drink"
The archbishop used to tell this
story on himself and with no little
glee.-Everybody's Magazine.

ing is the spirit of America itself,
of wholesome, useful happy citizen
ship and brotherhood.
In the back of this book is form
for indicating your interest. If you
know childless homes that should do
something definite foor boyhood, if
you yourself are in the happy posi-
ton of being able to contribute to the
extension of the movement, this is

Notice

Lord Northcliffe, during his Amer

of prohibition. "Show me prohibi-
tion," he would observe, "and I'll
talk about it." Like the Missourian,
Lord Northcliffe wanted to be shown.
"Your Volstead act" he said in New
York one day, "has made lawbreakers
and hypocrites of all of you. A Fifth

acquaintances for help. He was
roundly lectured for his condition,
and told how fine a father ne had.
The young man said, Eyes, I've heard
he is fine man, never have Known
him. l occasionally: saw him at
meals" No scoutmaster can do what
you can to bless your boy. If you
haven't spent much time with him. if
you and he don't hit It off together
perfectly, and ne has left this little
book of his where, you could read
this little appeal, ask to 60 with HIM
on the next troop hike. You'll have
a surprisingly fine time, old man. And
the magic Of scouting makes fathers
and sons who hit it off together on a
hike, and who bunk in the same
blankets, hit it off together on other
things.
The essence of the scout movement
is its oath, its laws, its good turn
habit. But these things are built in
to life by activity in which mental
alertness, moral straightness, physi-
cal soundness, courtesy, sportsman
ship, obedience, team loyalty, thrift,
etc., are considerations. The letter
Of the scout law is important. The

a Message to Parents

By Clark E. schurman, former editor
Of Scouting.
You, boy has a course which only
one be- IN twenty has the privilege
Of choosing-he has chosen to be-
come one of the Boy Scouts of AM
erica. You have unquestionably a
right to be finely proud of him for
this. He is one of the 100000 boys
out of 100000. What you have
gwen him of birthright, of .ove of
outdoors, of the principles Of right
living, and of the goodness to be OF
use to his fellow men, has borne fruit.
already, in this enrolment OF his in
the scouts.
Do you realize that it is almost his
first wholly free choice? He went
naturally and obediently to your
church, with you., All of us who are
se6utmasters are glad for that, and
regardless of our religions, we un-
animously encourage scouts to ad-
here to the faiths of their fathers.
He went naturally and obediently to
school. All of US who are scoutmas-
ters want scouts to appreciate school,
to continue in it as long as possible,
and to be thrifty of their educational
resources. But he came to the scouts,
asked you if he might, ef his own de-
sire.
Because you have boy who is one
IN more. than twenty, lion and be-
cause ne has undertaken this hunt
himself, stand by to help him win.
He Doesn't Want to Be Babied
OF course he is your baby. We un-
derstand that, because most of US are
fathers ourselves. But he is a boy,
now. He is not a little man; nor is
he something merely in process OF
manufacture for some ultimate pur-
pose. He is himself, a citizen, with
obligations to his home, his God, and
his country. One Of these which fond
parents try to bear for him is the OBJ
legation to earn his own way as a
scout; to earn his own equipment.
We have found, doubtless you have
noticed it, too, that uniform makes
a bow carry himself better, expand
his chest for more pure air, and use
both his feet to stand on.
We have noticed, too, that an
earned uniform lasts better than
more expensive clothes bought from
the family treasury. incidentally it
IS conducive to the physical activity
which builds a rugged body.
The ownership of sufficient camp
ing equipment is within any plucky
scouts own earnings if ne has a
streak of stick-to-it-iveness. 1t will
enable him to spend much time out
of doors, without risk to his health
and with positive benefit to it.
The ownership of compass, signal
apparatus, fire set, ETC., develops self
reliance. The acquisition of good
