THE MAN WHO TALKS

part of young people who are so dis- posed. Last year 8 benevolent society with headquarters in New York. organ ized scheme for work known as the Student Summer Service It was the challenge of a great opportunity The l appeal was made to the youpg people of both sexes in cur colleges. The slogan
 was this; Do you want to use your life where it will count for the summer Of 1921T The response was so gen. erous that # will be repeated this. year
 Fourteen colleges responded and the students went into the outlying districts
 with the message: of good will, gave Bible instruction. spoke in abandoned
 pulpits, and tried to uplift the people | generally.
 While, spealS1ng of young people,s
 privileges along moral and social lines. l would urge the acceptance of every 1 chance for students and other workers
 to spend few weeks this summer out
 doors. You need it to keep the physical part up to par. The high school and col 1 lege girl wonld do well to ioin some Camp Fire club or find needed recre- l atton amid the wiids of nature. The Boy and Girl Scout movement that in- ! wolves long hikes with camping boat I ing, swimming, fishing. cooking and sleeping in the open air, Is one of the l finest opportunities that ever came to our
 young people for becoming physically
 roSHlst. The age is long since past for beiteVtng that just in proportion as we | turn down bodily urgings we are cores f pond1ngly improving mind. We have the custom of the ancient Gree1s to draw
 wisdom from who felt the necessity of 1 outdoor sports to the extent of support ing them at public expense. We must have sound bodies for sane minds
 | There arc at pressut objects appealing to the generosity of the public, and the 1 degree of merit will largely depend on ones viewpoint. Of course we are not all agreed as to the most worthy of these ! objects. To my mind no one calls more l loudly to uE than the Boy Scouts. and 1 dorbtless many will pass this by When 1 We think how large an area of the boys [ personality the Scout movement covers
 We must feel that no organization out side of the church and public school is doing anything comparable to it for the lads. Take for example the Scout oath which a boy must take recognizing. first
 of all that God is the ruling power in 1 the universe: he also swears allegiance to his country, training him to the high. est type of citizenship. Tine Scout oath and the Scout practice are wholesome things in the education of the boy. The boy may belong to any denomination and be equally eligible. Let us respond to this appeal

 Fl Just hint to these young fellows wh, chance to be treasurers of boys clubs l and other societies. The treasurer mus } have a keen eye on the finances all tn time: in other words, he must be tn . watch dog of the expenses. If the c1lf
 as whole knows that there is a Httl
 money in the treasury they will wan : to get five times as much as they hay money to pay for. Now the treasure must impress upon the other member l that with only one dollar in the treasnr, oya cannot fen- 5ayIa
