ing the boy in contact with the reli- gious activities of his own church.
 Scouting and Religion
 Scouting does not specifically teach religion, but it does both directly and indirectly inculcate those ideals which will help boys to put in practice every day the religious faith which may be theirs.
 By his oath and his training under scout law every boy who enters the movement dedicates himself to right living, to the service of God, and to the brotherhood of man.
 When boys mind is occupied with clean, appealing activities the doors of it are closed to temptations which knock with desire to enter. The hard est thing for parents and teachers to combat Is that insidious propaganda of evil which the unoccupied boy picks up. They can recognize it in his

Written for The Herald by WALTER 0. COOK
Scout Executive in New Britain

As the scout mounts the ladder Of achievement he marks very definite trail which leads one through the home, the school and the church. The scout has written his trail in the open places of nature. Boys have by means of scouting learned to know nature and to love it. The exercise of body, mind and soul has been in the great out of doors as much. as possible.
 But the trail of the scout has also been blazed in the home. The boy who is taught the necessity of obedi- ence in connection with the things he personally wanted to do cannot help taking that lesson into his home life He will more readily obey his parents than before.

Anniversary Round Up," "StatM
 in November Is Successful
BUILD UP IN is YEARS
Organized On February s, 1910, With Wooderaft Indians and Sons 0f Daniel Boone As Nucieus-s. .000. 900 Boys Are Eligible.

New York. Feb. s,-The 100000
 Boy Scouts in America are beginning the celebration Of their thirteenth birthday. this week, with the addition
 Of another 100000 to their member ship,
 This is the continuation Of an in- tensiye anniversary roundup" which started last November and had the object Of raising tho membership of this famous boys organization to the half-million mah.
 Thirteen years ago. the Boy Scouts of America was merely an idea in the minds of men who are still its guid- ing spirits. It followed the formation of a similar organization in England. in 1908, by Sir Robert S. S. Baden- Powell.
 In the United States at this time there were two boys organizations. ono, founded by Ernest Thompson Seton, was called Woodcraft Indians. The other. called the Sons of Daniel Boone. was led by Dan c. Beard.
 These two organizations were com- bined and. February 8, 1910, were chartered as the Boy Scouts of Am erica. Since then, the Boy Scouts have had some 2.000,O0 boys in it's mem- bership, and at the beginning of this year had standing membership of 400, ,6G1. This week, the leaders of the movement hope to count half . million boy scouts.
 Scout Leaders.
 At the head of the organization to- day are men like Colin H. Livingstone of Washington. D. C., the only presi- dent the organization ever had: James E. West, chief scout executive since January 1. 1911: Mortimer L. Schiff. New York banker, vice-president of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America; George D. Pratt of New York, treasurer; Clarence H. Howard of St. Louis, and Walter w. Head of Omaha, vice-president of the National Bankers Association.
 Although it is 13 years old, the Boy Scout movement is still in it's infancy. say its officials. They point to the fact that there are some S,00o.000 boys of scouting age in this country and only half million in the move- ment.
 The aim of the Boy Scout move- ment is generally to supplement the various existing educational organiza- tions and to teach boys to do things for themselves and for others.
 Every boy, to become scout, takes an oath in which he pledges himself to do his duty to God and country, to help other people at all times and to keep himself physically strong, men, ally awake and morally straight. His motto is Be Prepared" and his slo- yan, "Do Good Turn Daily"
 Practically all religious bodies have this movement in connection with their own work with boys. schools recognize it as an aid to edu- aton and prominent men throughout he country have shown deep inter- st in its affairs.
 Presidents As Members.
 Four presidents are on the list of onorary members-Roosevelt Taft, Wilson and Harding. More than 30 overnors have taken the scout oath S honorary ''tenderfoot" scouts
 Leading the boys, with no money for themselves, are early 1sO,000 business and profess onal men, who are acting as scout lasters, troop committeeman and lembers, of local councils.
