SCOUTS BOOST GOOD READING

The days Of the cheap and harmful
novel are numbered" So says a met
ropolitan daily in commenting on the
recent gift Of 100000 to the Boy
scouts Of America TO improve the rec
reatlonal reading Of American bows.
This big -ffort, the first Of its kind,
Is TO be carried out by the mobiliza-
ton, in the interests of boyhood. of
the talents and services of many of
the best writer's in the country.
Inc idea underlying the whole plan
Is to give the boy as nearly as possible
the kind of stories he likes to read
under such conditions as to make his
reading wholesome as well as interest
Ing, and thus crowd out trashy and
undesirable literature.
Already writer's of national promi-
nence have been engaged to aid in the
new project. Zane Grey, who knows
the American out-of- doors, and Arthur
Reeves, whose detective stories
brought approval from the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt, are among these au-
thors. Douglas Fairbanks is another
contributor. The maryels of modern
science and invention also are to be
the basis of further tales and thrills.
I'VE have no intention of depriving
the boy of literature with romance and
adventure" says James e. West, chief
scout executive. "To do so would de-
prive him of the opportunity to have
what he wants. Scouting very def
nitely concerns itself in sensing what
boys want, and then undertaking to
supply it under conditions which would
be helpful for character building and
training"
The scout movement which exists
as an influence for well-directed lei
sure time of boys has. since its organ
lzation, been vitality interested in the
promotion of good juvenile literature,
lnasmuch as reading enters so largely

Getting the right job has been a
vexing problem to most of mankind
since the birth of civilization, but the
man in the wrong job need remain a
problem no longer Science has hit
upon ways of determining the right
job, or at least of making it possible
for a man to avoid wasting time and
effort on a job in which he is bound
to fail.
So writes Dr. Herbert A. loops Of
the Institute of Educational Research,
Columbus university. discussing the
new science of vocational selection"
Personal inclination is often super
fetal and hence an inaccurate and
even a dangerous index to the sort
of work one should embrace, declares
DR.. loops. When a man says he Is
interested in a certain profession, he
asserts, whether he had any expert
ence at it or not, certainly he must
have looked into 1t enough to be able
to answer simple questions regarding

will be asked to observe the broad
principle OF the Golden Rule by fore
going their usual MONDAY meal and
eating instead the frugal ration usually
partaken of by the parentless children
Of Greece, Armenia and Palestine.
The worlds people will then be
asked TO contribute the difference IN
the cost of the two meals TO the prin-

contain. not only bread made from

use of corn syrup, American con-

The favorite %orphanage pudding Is
composed OF orn grits with cocoa,
sweetened with corn syrup. and made
more nutritious and palatable by add
ing a sauce of American condensed
milk. Such a pudding has a high food
value and is very economical-no
other equivalent food value could be
obtained from other foods at twice the
cost. Moreover, it is so palatable
that children eat It eagerly several
times a week, and never seem to tire
of it. The American people, in pro-
viding for these parentless children

their own tables. are certainly making
a practical application OF the golden

The plans for the observance of Golden Rule Sunday call upon the people Of
America to serve menu in their homes similar to that served in the orphan

ordinary zeal to b contributed to orphanage work overseas. The observ-
ane is very appropriately fixed for the Sunday following Thanksgiving.
Having o n Thursday partaken from wen-laden tables as a token of rejoicing
IN the prosperity of America, it is fitting that on the following Sunday people
give special consideration to the needs and distress of those who are less
highly favored.
