When he came 10 New Britain in 1921 he instituted the course which has been conducted here each year since. lie quarters oi the movement at New York as one of the pioneers in Scout educational principles.
 MT. Fay also is conducting a train Ing school for boy leaders each year which has been an unqualified sue cess. Such a school was started this week Monday with nearly thirty picked boys enrolled.

 finest method for a boys education Be etween the ages of twelve and eigh- l teen the interests Of a boy are far and
 wide. Each day brings him new dis coveries and each night sends him | back to his bed to sleep with an un- speakable joy tugging at his heart. A summer spent like this puts red blood in boys veins, glow of health to his cheek. the hardness of steel 10 his muscles and sincws, and fits him for the struggle of the school or the shop that is going to test his cndur- ance during the winter months. The New Britain council conducts summer camp every year and the one being planned for the coming summer promises to be the biggest and best yet.

 ocal Y. NJ. q. A. He is now a stu dent at Springfield college and de- votes his summers 10 work in the New Britain Boy Scout camp.
