Douglas Division is being con-
graduated on the part it played in
making the parade and annual
sermon of the 9Th Regiment the
success that it was.
The division made an excellent
showing having 215 boys in the
line of march. Cubmaster A. L.
Williams had about % cubs from
pack 3539, and they made an cx-
cellent showing.
The drum and bugle corps from
troop Sal (although late and un-
diciplined) made an excellent
showing. Scoutmaster Word i e
Murrell and Assistant Scoutmas-
ter Lawrence Branch showed fine
cooperative spirit by helping the
drum and bugle corps to catch up
with the parade and to get in its
proper place at the head of the
column. 1t is hoped that when our
next public appearance. is made
that these two splendid leaders
will have this potentially fine out
fit under better control.
Scoutmasters Robert DeJar-
nette, Sidney Poole, Leroy Peace
John Harris and Assistant Scout
masters James Bodie, Fred Ross,
David Allison, Edward Brown and
Moses Brown were present and
ly assisted in getting t h e
outfit in proper formation at the
start and keeping it so during the
parade.
1t is the feeling of most of the
leaders of the division chat we
should appear more often in pub
lie as division so that the neces-
sary discipline and esprit de corps
that distinguishes fine organiza-
tion from a mob can be developed.
1t is also hoped that when we are
on parade again that We will have
at least 400 of the 600 registered
scouts of the division in line along
with much larger number of our
fine Scout masters and Assistant
Scoutmasters.
Attention of Scoutmasters is
called to the fact that the parade

Ymade long ago: "If a man knows
not, and knows not that he knows
not, he is ignorant; teach him. If
a man knows { and knows not that
he knows he is asleep; wake him.
If man knows and knows that
he knows, he is a leader; follow
him.
In this day of chaos and confus-
ion, we need leaders who know the
truth and are willing to dissent
nate the germs of knowledge to all
humanity. However, this know
ledge must be constructive in or
der to lead to the wisdom that will
be the salvation of mankind. The
price that we pay for peace is
cheaper than war, The w :" of
the above staement does not
of the forces that were at work in
this country prior to 1860, which
would have accomplished the free
dom of the Negro without the civil
war. And if this war did pur-
port to set he Negro free, is my
observation that this freedom has
an unusual tinge of slavery. When
the student and the educator at
tempt to outlaw war as an essen
tial part of our so-called civiliza.
ton, they are merely trying to put
into practice the teachings of
Christ, for they realize that this
world looks to God, and His Son
for perfection.
Perfection is not our final goal,
but we are interested in the ever
enduring process of perfecting,
maturing, refining and living. So
cietl when it resorts to war as
means of solving its problems, is
in a state of deterioration which
leads to senility. 1t is similar to
the tactics of our primitive faith
ers, whose practices we scorn and
sneer at. Man often fights to
keep from thinking. Hereafter,
we intend to do the thinking BE-
FORE the war, instead of relegat-
ing that intricate process to our
thinkers in he peace conference.
The foolish may BELIEVE that
war is good, but we KNOW that
war, and any other institution that
defeats the process of living leads
to a pathological social order. If
men will stop talking about what
CAN NOT be done, and will do
what CAN be done, the problems
of the world will soon be solved.

and girls who enjoyed free-sw1m
privileges at the pools operated by the
Federal agencies or at a private pool
where arrangements were MADE for
such part-time use.
"A cool splash in clear pool is
the greatest pleasure the Summer
brings in Washington" Miss Baker
said. More swimming pools and
more wading pools are needed. The
civil works program Of last year added
three wading pools to municipal play
grounds, making a total OF IL little
pools in which the smaller children
can enjoy water play under safe and
sanitary conditions. Two more will be
completed in 1885 and plans are
ready for construction Of five addi-
tional wading pools when funds are
available"
C. Marshall Finnan. superintendent
of National Capital Parks, Saturday
asked P. w. A. funds for four new
pools, but did not reveal the pro-
posed locations. His plans are en-
braced in a projected public works
program numbering 81 projects. Tne
items for recreation areas and SWIM
ming pools together run to between
$500, 900 and 100000. The pro-
posed four pools would cost some
S150,000 each, or a total OF about
$500, 900.
Congress some years ago authorized
construction Of six new pools and
four have been built, but funds have
not been made available for the other
two.
