RECRUITING OWN LEADERS
Scouting Schools in New Britain Train Officer Material From Own Organ ization to Head Local Troops.

For the past two years the local scout council has had the assistance of Frederic l.. Fay, director of re- ligious education at the Soutl Congre- gational church, in the work of train- ing the leaders for local scout work. Each year, under his direction, a school has been conducted for the training of scoutmasters and assist ants. Also a school for patrol lead CTS, members of which are selected from the various troops as officer ma \terial. Such school has just com menced its sessions this week and gives promise of splendid results.
 To meet a popular demand from scouts interested in radio a school in this subject has been started this past week which holds its sessions on Wednesday evenings at the Central Junior High school. This school is taught by Charles Morgan, of the To- cal telephone office, and will embrace elementary electricity and radio work in general. The great problem of scouting today, being that of leader- ship. it is hoped by means of the var ious schools to develop latent leader ship that the movement may event. ually recruit its leaders from its own ranks.

countenance. in his growing reticence, but they are powerless to combat it. The Boy Scout movement has the pre- ventive method and it has the coun- ter attack for such conditions.
 Twelve troops of Scouts totalling approximately 25O boys are experience ing the influence of scouting here in New Britain at the present time. Four other troops are in state of disor- ganization at the present time because of lack of trained leadership. This is the one great pl oblem confronting the movement and the one which requires the greater part of the time of those men who are interested in the boys of New Britain. This city should have 20 troops of scouts and it Is with this in mind that an effort is being made on this, the 18th anniversary of the to interest men of charac- ter to take up this work.

didn't like to wash behind their ears? When that boy has been taught cleanliness by the Scout method you will not have to direct his attention to such things But more important yet is the cleanliness of mind which the scout learns in his regular course. Clean, right thinking is constantly held before the scout as standard to be maintained. If by chance the opposite for moment shows its face the frown of other Scouts soon puts it to flight. Kindness. cheerfulness and reliability taught in Scouting in- duce a home reflex that brings smiles of happiness to parents faces. That is the trail of the Scout in the home.
 The trail of the scout in the school Is significantly noticeable. The Boy Scout movement does not aim to as- sume the responsibility of either home or school for the boy, but to supple ment and intensity the training of

LOCAL BOYS FAVORED
Jack Kcating and Stan Oldershaw Likely to Earn Places on Trinity Basketball Quintet.

Hartford, Feb. S.-With the begin- ming of the second half of the Trinity College basketball schedule Coach H. D. Drew has available squad of 20 men from which to form the varsity. Due the both faculty restrictions on students requiring a high grade of scholarship, and the one term rule of the athletic association, the squad until the present time has been weak.
 Among the men likely to make the varsity quintet are Jack Heating and Stan Oldershaw of New Britain. The former has been member of Trinity team for two years in football, basket ball and track, and has starred for Trinity in all of the games in the bas- ketball season thus far played from the position of left forward. Older shaw, a member of the freshmen class is a candidate for forward.
 Competition between the members of the squad is keen. Never sice the sport was revived at Trinity following the war has Coach Drew had so large or fast squad. The schedule during the next few weeks is the hardest yet tackled by Trinity. It includes games with Brown. Feb. 10 at Providence; Mass Aggies.

both, in character formation.
 The relation of the movement to the school is one of the closest coopera- tion and mutual helpfulness. One high school principal has described scouting by saying: Tt has done what no scheme has done before-made the boy want to learn.' Teachers, there fore. like parents, have an easier time with Scouts. There is no trouble about boy learning when he wants to. This is the trail of the scout in the school.
 The trail of the scout in the church is accepted by every sect or creed. The scout movement is absolutely non-sectarian both in principle and in practice. But its program provides recreational activities which are cas- fly adapted as an adjunct to the work of the church and the Sunday school. It serves an important need in keep

THE DAILY GOOD TURN
Boy Scouts Taught to Make Them. selves Useful-Organizatio Gives Training in Civic Duties

 idea of learning by doing" is the
 basic principle of scouting. Last year
 scouts of New Britain assisted in the
 cleaning up of the court of honor in
 Walnut Hill park. They also han
 dled the in-gatherinN department of the Near East Relief clothing cam- paign. They distributed literature for organizations such as the Rotary club, Red Cross, safety campaign, fire prevention campaign. Tubercu- losis Relief society and many others. They assisted the c. A. R. and the Sons of Veterans in the decoration of graves on Memorial day. They acted as messengers and guides for the Older Boys Conference; report ed several violations Of city ordi- nances to the health department: and gave great assistance to the for est fire warden in the extinguishing and prevention of forest fires.
 The scout is taught to "do good turn every day" as he is taught oth- CT things, by actual practice and dem- onstration. He is taught to do a good turn to someone every day. The scout is taught to do this but with out oste tation. He gets no pay for it. He must not boast of It. He is not doing fl for his own benefit. He must not take a tip af any kind for doing it. This does not mean that the scout is trained to do everything without remuneration. On the con- trary, he is taught to do work that will bring a just and honest return He is taught to earn the money that will pay his own way. that will buy his own uniform. that will make him IS far as possible. a sclf-supporting init Of society But that is business

 Tn order to facilitate the work of examining Scouts for achievement, the local council handles this work through a committee known as the | court of honor which meets at the | Scout headquarters once a month and | passes upon the examinations pre- viously made by the troop leaders | For over year this committee has of Col. W. w. Bullen. George Christ, William F. Fay and Rev. J. l.. Sullivan.
