Boy Scouts
Review of Organization


The Boy Scouts of America is a
corporation with executives and
I departments, conducted on the
budget syatem. The national office
of the organization is in the Fifth
Avenue Building, New York, and
occupies almost one-fourth of one
of the floors. In the filing system
the confidential, intimate record
OF every man who has made appll-t
\ cation for q commission as scout.
master, is on file. Here, too, are
the records from the very besinn-
ing of every troop of Boy Scouts
and of every scout who Joined
ton feature of the system, which
more than any other one thing,
excepting the standards of the
movement, holds the organization
together as a great national move
ment.
The corporation k-1Tn as the
Boy Scouts Of America works with
all the energy and intelligence and
business system of a corporation
dealing in oils, coal, hardware, or
any other commodity It's products
is boys prepared for citizenship.
To the fashioning OF this product,
over 10000 men throughout the
country are giving their services
as volunteers, and less than 700
men are serving full time on
salary.
The corporate body known as
the Boy Scouts of America con-
sists of 4 national council COM
posed of S43 representative from
all over the United States, elected
by their communities. Its officers
have always been nationally
known men. The president of the
United States is the honorary
president of the organization, and
living eX-presidents automatically
BECOME honorary vice-presidents.
The national council meets an
nually to consider progress made
and steps to be taken for the en-
suing year. The annual meeting
to review the year 1921 and leg
islate for the Boy Scout movement
for 1922 met at'the LaSalle Hotel
in Chicago, March 20 and so.
Between annual meetings the
national council functions through
an executive board of it's own
election consisting of not less than
twenty-one men. This board meets
monthly, and only twice in the
past twelve years has it failed to
meet and to have quorum. Deci-
sions of executive board are car
ried out through the chief scout
executive, James e. West, and his
staff of department heads and field
executives. The departments in
clude finance, field. education,
camping, sea scouting, library,
publications., scout supplies. the
national court of honor, the edi-
toriaI board and committees on
foreign relations, badges, awards
and scout requirements. Each
department also has a committee
composed of successful men of
affairs, serving voluntarily. These
committees in turn often call into
conference men most qualified to
advise upon particular problems.
A report covering entire transac-
tions of the year. including de-
tailed financial statement, is made
annually to Congress-.
1T is due to this busin ess-like
system that the Boy Scout move
ment has been kept SO free from
exploitation by commercial inter
ests, and has maintained its poll
cies and standards from coast to
coast. Everywhere a Boy Scout in
America stands for the same
things. His uniform is the same.
his emblem is the same, his pro-

feat Classics in Close
Contests

,The Monongah Glass baseball
team lost two games during the
week end dropping hard fought
game to the Fairmont Normal
team at South Side Park on Satur-
day afternoon, the score being 4-3
and on sunday being defeated by
the Fairview nine In a, ten inning
go, the final count being sd. Both
games were well attended aud also
interesting to watch:
Normal Wins
The Fairmont Normal team,
with several new players added in
the lineup, put up good hight
Saturday and took the Classics
unexpected in real nine inning
fight, the winning score being
pushed over in the last Of the
ninth after two men had been
retired. Voight of the Shinnston
team was at short, while Mike
Hamilton was behind the bat for
the Normal outfit These two
players added lot to the defense
and also the offensive, as the
timely hitting of both was big
help in the run getting for the
winners.
The big feature of the contest
was a catch by Mckain in center
field for the Normal team in the
eighth inning, when he made a
dive after Scagnellis' liner and
captured it, robbing the Classics
outfielder out of a three sacker.
Teters was on the mound for
the Normal team and pitched good
ball, allowing only eight hits.
Charley Long started for the Glas-
sizes, but retired in the third inn
ing in favor of his brother. Rat
Long, who pitched good ball the
rest of the contest.
Fairyiew Wins
1sDoggie" Taught came back in
the limelight yesterday afternoon
when he repeated his stunt that he
has done SO many times at South
Side Park where he had the habit
of breaking up ball games in the
old league games. In the last OF
the tenth in yesterdays game
with the MononSah Glass team,
Stewart, first man up, was thrown
out at first by Burns, who got his
slow roller to pitchers box. Bill
Ridgely, next up, got a scratch hit
through VingIe at first and went
to second when Vingle missed
Burns throw in trying to get him
mapping. Then up stepped Dog
gle" who hit the first pitched ball
to right field for a safe one, bring
ing Ridgely across with the win
ming run. This ended one of the
best battles that has been staged
at the Fairview grounds this sea
son.
The game was a pitchers battle
between Mitchell and Charley
Long Both were pitching good
ball. While the Fairview team
managed to get eleven hits OFF
Long, he kept them well scattered,
Mitchell allowed the Classics only
five hits in the eight innings he
pitched. Tustin started for the
Fairview team but retired in the
second on the account of illness.
Mitchell then took up the mound
work for the winners. Burns was
put in the box in the ninth with
the score all. He was touched
for two hits, these two being the
ones that won the game for the
Fairylew team.
A fast double-play was the big
feature, while the fielding of both
teams was sprinkled with some
good work.

in the reports returning legislators

These reports of which party
leaders took no cognizance for a
long time, indicated that congress
was held in light esteem, ridiculed
and criticised mainly because 1t did
not act more and talk less. At first
the criticism seemed simply to be
the casual grumbling of voters at
the government; but lately 1t has
taken a tone that to watchful politi-
