facing and are not vain, abstract
questions that do not concern your

too much thought, study, time and

Our motto is "HonOr Is the crown.
ing virtue of American manhood"
Will you, fathers and mothers Of
America, help your boy learn these
great truths and principles, by aid
ing him to join this great order? BY
such an utilization he will come un-
der the inspiration and fellowship Of
manly boys who have banded together
in a united effort to realize these
ideals. The gang spirit" being very
prominent in the youth Of this age,
they catch the spirit and inspiration
that is the paramount ideal among
the boys who are members. Thus you
will have realized your fondest hopes
in your boy, which could never be &C
complished outside such an organiza-
tion.
Requirements for Membership
To be eligible for membership, a
boy must be between the ages of IL
and Is years; shall have been born
within the continental confines of the
United States, or of parents who were
American citizens at the time of his
birth if born elsewhere; of Protest
ant faith and of Protestant parent
age; of pure white blood; of good
character and reputation, and a stu
dent of the public schools or engaged
in legitimate occupation.
The fee to accompany the petition
for membership is $500, which goes
for the work of organization, and the
maintenance of state and national
headquarters, printing, and such
items. Later there are such dues as
the members may assess themselves,
for the purpose of taking care of
their local organization. These dues
are handled by local officers elected
by the members, in their own terri
tory, and are for hall rent, printing,
expense of the speakers, etc.
1t is to be kept clearly in mind that
this organization belongs to the boys
themselves-that the field director
is here for organization purposes on
ly, and that after the state and coun-
ties are chartered he leaves, and his
place as leader is taken by one Of
the members, duly elected by the
other members at a regular business
meeting.
Folks, is your boys future worth
this $500 to you, and to your coun-
try? Or does the money loom up
bigger than the need of a citizenry
properly trained for the great task
ahead of them?
Think! Then act!
