Gated, according to the plan of tho
recent seascout conference.
Where the salty sea is not avail
able, at least those features of the
seascout program that can be carried
out on land will be, such as naviga-
ton, astronomy, ship construction,
signaling, wireless, sail-making, boat
drill, sounding, map reading, chartlng.
etc.
The objects of seascouting are iden-
teal with those of land scouting, with
greater emphasis on nautical train
proved of incalculable benefit to the
older boy, the conference recon-
mended In the interests of greater
progress, that the formation of troops
be simplified. and be made similar to
that of land troops; also, that certain
requirements be made for advance
ment In the first three ranks, as In
land scouting, and that other ad-
vanced work be optional, as In the
case of the Merit badge work Of the
land scout.

Of the conference, and the regu-
lar sailor uniform is to be adopted.
A special dress uniform for shore

At the conference fifty Of the seven
ty-seven registered ships were repre-
scented.
In the nautical world are many
prominent supporters of the character
building work of seascouting.
Admiral william s. Benson, U. s.
N, who is one of these strong advo-
Gates of the work, has said: 'The
seascout training included in the boy
scout program emphasizes the highest
Ideals and traditions of the sea, and
by teaching the necessity in seafaring
for such virtues as unselfishness, self
discipline, team work and obedience,
makes for men of purpose and char
acter."
To James A. Wilder, chief sea-
scout, much of the success of this
virile branch of the scout movement
is due.

CHAPTER XVII
Think Of II.


Ames was an inspiration. Jim Irwin
received from the great AGRICULTURAL
college more real education In this one
trip than many students get from a
four years course In its halls; for he
had spent ten years In getting ready
| for the experience. The great farm Of
hundreds of acres, all under the man.
agement Of experts, the beautiful cam
pus, the commodious classrooms and
laboratories, and especially the barns
the greenhouses, gardens. herds and
fiocks filled him with a sort Of apos-
tolic Joy.
Every school," said he to Professor
Withers, fought to be doing a good
! deal of the work you have to do here"
'I'll admit" said the professor,
that much of our work in agriculture
is pretty elementary"
"It's intermediate school work." said
Jim. ITS wrong to force boys and
| girls to leave their homes and live In
a college to get so much of what they
should have before they're ten years
| old"
say" said the professor. but some
experiment station men seem to think
that agriculture In the common schools
will take from the young men and
women the felt need, and therefore the
desire to come to the college"
IF you can't give them anything
better than high-school work." said
Jim, that will be so /; but If the sci
ence and art of agriculture is what !
think it is. 1t would make them hungry
for the advanced work that really
can't be done at home. To make the
children wait until they're twenty is
to deny them more than half what the
college ought to give them-and make
them pay for what they don't get"
II think you're right" said the pro-
fessor.
"Give us the kind OF schools l ask
for" cried Jim. land I'll fill college
like this in every congressional district
In Iowa, or I'll force you to tear this
down and build larger"
More nearly happy, and rather short
er of money than he had recently been
Jim journeyed home among the COM
panions from his own neighborhood
in frenzy OF plans for the future. Mr..
Hofmyer had dropped from his mind,
until Con Bonner, his old enemy, drew
him aside In the vestibuie of the train
and spoke to him in the mysterious
manner peculiar to politicians.
