PROGRESS IN SACRAMENTO.

for Sacramento. BY July 1 of the.
present year the numbers had risen to
700 scouts in % troops, not including
five new troops in the process of Or
ganization, including some 20 scouts.
This splendid gain has been the result
of the tireless work and fine enthusi-
assn of the men behind it, who have
every right TO be more than proud OF
their achievement in promoting scout
ing to such remarkable extent in so
short a time. The scOutmasters'
school, conducted by the leadership
and training committee, has graduated

which has more than once risen to con-
Siderably over 100. Sacramento has
also successfully put over a big finan-
cial campaign.

Future of Brazil.

Brazil. which is almost wholly In

set the belief that no people can reach
the very highest civilization in a trOpi-
cal climate. The census, just com
pleted, credits Brazil with 90,500,000
people, which makes it the second
American country in point of popula-
ton. Some modern men of science
maintain that when means have been
found to utilize the heat of the sun
as mechanical energy the tropics will
become centers of production and
therefore of civilization. If that should

SEA SCOUTING

know him, otherwise known as'JameS
A. Wilder, chief sea scout, is very
happy over his experience in conduct
ing the two sessions of training
schools for sea scouts at Marion,
Mass. Both periods were well attend
ed by boys from different sections Of
the country. Seven boys and the
scoutmaster made a trip all the way
from Port Arthur, Tex, and, inciden-
tally, they worked their passage ON
an oil boat back and forth.
The training school was ideally To-
Gated at the Tabor academy, the Off

two camping periods and made avail
able their facilities without reserve.

by but very efficient. Their maneu-
vers and general operations made
profound impression upon Gen. Clar-
ence H. Edwards. commander in chief
Of the department Of New England,
who took dinner with the sea-scout
camp one evening.
The enrolment for the second group
was even larger than the first and
passed all expectations.
1t was pot all play, by any MEANS,
for each of the groups had the expert
ence of cruising around Buzzard's
bay, under conditions which tested
their scout training and their endur-
ance The members of the second
camp were mustered into service to-
cooperate with the committee in
charge of the ceremonies incident to.
the celebration of the Booth anniver-
sary of the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth.
The membership of the sea-scouting
division has increased over so per
cent in the last year. Their expert
mental stage seems to have passed,
and the program has proven itself to
be not only useful but attractive to
boys, especially of fifteen years. of age
and over.

that it wears evenly. Otherwise the
