the league being rather liberal in the
matter of eligibility Crosthwaite
was the only Ocean City represen-
tative on the team, and Phillips and
Spence, are familiar names on the

Pocomoke seemed rather slow, and

Attention was called, however, to
the reduction from $5000.00 to $4,000
in the amount allowed in the biennial
appropriation for the Commission to
purchase books to send out in travel
ling libraries to rural schools and
small villages. In 1881 the circula-
ton of such books was 331 ,44O, in
1888, it was 1920, but in 1884 it
had dropped to 363,840 owing to the
lack of books.
A Committee from the Commission
will request a reconsideration of this
budget item with the intention of Sc
curing an early addition to take care
Of the needs.
The aroused interest of the people
of the state was reported in the gen.

discussions will be led by the chair
man of the Council Committees on
these subjects, with the object OF de-
termining the best services which the
Scout Council can render to the COM
munities of the area. The rapid
growth in Scout membership and in
terest throughout the peninsula in the
past year necessitates this conference
of Area and Wilmington Scoutleaders
to plan effectively for continued pro-
gress in 1886.
Following the afternoon sessions,
and meeting Of the Council Execu-
tive Board with all district represen-
tatives present, the conference will
move to the Hotel Richardson for a
testimonial dinner to the Scoutmasters
of the Area, the Scoutmasters being
guests of the Council. DR.. James E..
: West has definitely promised to at
tend, bringing a message from the
National Boy Scout Council to the
local leaders.
DIR. West has been Chief Executive
of the Boy Scouts of America since
the inception of the movement in
1910. It has been largely thru his
vigorous efforts and forceful person
atty that Scouting has become the
largest and most effective organiza-
ton for boys in America today. Grip
pied from youth, he has overcome this
physical handicap to give inspired
leadership to the six million boys of
the United States who have been
Scouts during the quarter century OF
Scouting's existence.
