AmbOy Budget
Passed After Hearing

SOUTH AABOY, March THE
budget for the year 1923 on its pre-
sentation for approval at a public
hearing was somewhat disputed last
night at the regular meeting Of the
common council held in the city hall
when Philip A. Downs appeared and
questioned the chairman of the fl
committee, George r. Delaney,
and City Treasurer Harold Hoffman
at length regarding several items in
the budget.
Mr.. Downs's questions were direct
ed toward the inclusion OF $4,000 as
a revenue trust fund, and vine. the
explanation by Mr.. Delaney and Mr..
Holman did not agree with his opin-
ION, stated that he would seek a full
explanation from Commissioner Of
Municipal Accounts Darby.
A string of deficits dating back to
1920 came in for Mr.. Downs's dis
approval in view of his statement
that he was assured at the budget
hearing in 1922 that the city was
starting with a clean slate"
This statement was disputed by
the chairman of finance committee
as his idea was that only the old
notes were cleaned up in the 1922
budget, but Mr.. Downs held to his
statement.
Although Mr.. Downs was not en-
tirely satisfied with some of the ex-
plantations, he stated that he did not
lmpugn the motives of the council
and thanked the pre- dent and fl
chairman for their courtesy.
The budget was then read and pass
final reading.
The matter of the assessment NAV
was brought up at the meeting last
night and on motion of Council De-
fancy the matter was laid on the
table until the mex meeting.

which stated that spprovals from
property wner on Bordentown
avenue in reference to the erecting
of ten poles for telephone service
were received by them, and copies
containing typewriter signature of
the property wne accompanied

After a short discussion, during
which Councilman Disbrow stated

municate with the property owners

/ do are represented in the twelve
points of the Scout law: A Scout is
trustworthy. loyal, helpful, friendly
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful
thrifty, brave clean, r%everent.
The things the boy wants to dc
appear in the units of achieve
ments" necessary for becoming sue
cessively d tenderfoot, a second
class, a first class and a merit badge
scout. These things comprise the
endless features of camping, wood
craft, signaling, fire building, swim
ming, and first aid to the injured,
and are all practical, constructive
and definitely useful accomplish
ments.
The motto of the scout is BE Pre-
pared" AS education is prepara-
ton for life, SO the scout is prepar-
ing himself to be the sort of citizen
who shall more than ever be needed
in the times to come. And, further
more, he is prepared" for present
emergencies. The scout is the fell
low always at hand who, through
his training, knows what to do, how
to do it, and intelligently and cheer
fully does it.
A scout is expected to do a good
turn every day. The scouts are the
schools organized and honored help
ing force, the community's organiz-
ed helping force, and the hundreds
of thousands of scouts constitutes
Uncle Sans great helping force of
picked boys.
Truly the patriotic significance of
the scout movement cannot be over
estimated. Uncle Sam recognized
this in 1916 when the congress of the
United States granted the boy scouts
of America a federal charter and in
section 125 of the army reorganiza-
ton law specified his uniform along
with the army, the navy. the marine
corps, the national guard and the
naval militia.
The question in your mind is
What ties together the things we
want the boy to do and the things
he naturally wants to do. 1t is the
oath a boy takes when he becomes
a tenderfoot scout: On my honor I
will do my best.
1. To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout law.
2. To help other people at ali
3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
Surely a safe program to which
to tie the boys of your school. Of
your community and of your coun-
try.

Someone has said that when God
made ma he made the world sig
nificant but when he made the first
boy he made it interesting. Teach
ers know only too well the capacity
q boy has for making things inter-
sstlng, and this capacity for making
Z - interesting is nothing more
nt less than what we have long
talled the hoy problem" And did
yor 7Ver stop to think that all of our
taA problemS-the crime prob
lem, the labor problem, the church
problem, the political problem, the
wal problem are but the hoy PROC
lem" grown up?
1t has appeared to another observ-
er that "man Is made of dust, but
a boy is made of Observation-Disclosures
ity." A teacher would express this
by saying the boy is a fidgetarian,
n "fdgetarianism" analysed is
found to be constituted of nothing
more alarming than instincts, to run,
climb, throw. gang build, hide, col
tect, make campfires and the drama
tic and religious instincts.
All of these instincts. inconvenient
as they are in the school room, are
nevertheless the "tadpoIe'S tall
They cannot be cut off, they must
be absorbed and utilized for full de-
velopment. And as the highest aim
of education is full development, we
have in the Scout Plan for applying
these instincts a great big education
al program to supplement- that of the
schools, that of the church and that
of the home.
And, of course, this point in a dis
course on the educational aspect Of
scouting could not be passed with
out reference to Dean RusselI's cele-
brated statement that The Scout
program is the most significant edu-
cational movement of the age" 1t
is character education by directed
doing" of the things that a boy
naturally wants to do. It is recogni-
ton of the fact that a boy is being
educated-that is, he is receiving
impressions and forming habits
four waking hours out of school to
Il that he is being educated in the
school.
In brief. the plan works like this:
On II side we set up the things we
want the boy to do: on the other
side We put the things that he ma
turally wants to do; we tie them to-
rether and make it all one game and
because they are part of the game
he simply insists on living up to
all the virtues prescribed. |

FREDERICK DOUGLASS COM
MUNITY CENTER

In February Of 1920 there was in
corporated in Toledo, Ohio, the
Frederick Douglass Recreation Center
whose purpose was ito establish a
recreation center for colored boys and
young men, and to provide place for
the moral, mental, and physical de-
velopment Of colored youth"
At the outset some $1,000 was raised
among the colored citizens to initiate
the work of the Center. Toledo's
philanthropies are combined in the
Toledo Community Chest, which
raises funds in a central drive once
each year and which aims to pay the
actual running expenses of the thirty
six angencies thta it recognizes. In
April 1920 the Chest investigated the
Frederick Douglass Recreation Center
and allotted $2400 for its years work.
In 1921 the Center received $1,000 as
its share. In 1922, convinced that the
organization was putting over a
worthwhile program, the officials OF
the Chest raised the allotment to
$1,000.
The Frederick Douglass Communi-
ty Center in its three years of actual
work has accomplished something. II
has given the boys and girls a place
for supervised play and organized
work with groups and individuals; and
1t has developed a community con.
sciousness among men and women 81
color. This institution is seeking tc
pave the way for new type Of socia
work among colored groups Already
the Center has outgrown its present
quarters and is planning to ask tht
citizens Of Toledo in the near future
to give it the means with which Il
build a fully equipped community cen.

COLORED PEOPLE CONTINUE
TO LEAVE THE SOUTHERN
STATES

Newspapers are full Of news. con-
corning the migration Of colored peo-
pie from the South, but are overlook
ling another movement of almost as
great significance Negroes, it is true,
are leaving the South in large num-
bers. Figures at the Urban League
Office indicate that the rate is almost
half as great as during the war period.
The only thing unusual about this mi
grafton has been its size. But one Of
its effects, the disorganization Of rural
community life has brought into the
limelight movement Of large num-
bers from country to city commune
ties. II
The magnitude of this last may be
shown by comparison of census fg-
ures of 1910 and 1920. In that period
of ten years, the rural Negro popula-
ton decreased 3.4 per cent while the
city population increased 32.7 per cent.
In the rural districts the proportion Of
Negro children in 1910 was 2 per cent
greater, and in 1920 S per cent less
than the proportion Of white children.
The movement has not been entirely
to northern cities, for among the ten
cities with large increases in popula-
ton in that decade are to be found
New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta,
Memphis, none Of which had less than
$1,000 Negroes at the 1920 census.
So far as the South is concerned
the effect on agriculture is as bad
whether the Negro farm laborer goes
to Northern or Southern cities. The
lesson is that Negroes, North and
South, in country or city, are looking
tor better things, and are on the move
to get them.
