Mr.. Morgan, the city council has
more than carried out the wish

needed to the building given by

Describes Presenting OF
Plans To Theodore
Roosevelt; Discusses
Girl Scout Beginnings

In an exclusive interview with
The Citizen Daniel Carter Beard.
founder of the Boy Scouts of Am
erica. noted author and artist.
who is residing at the Casa Ma
rina. told of the original founding
of the Boy and Girl Scouts. the
interview with President Theo-
dore Roosevelt on the matter. and
proved that Lord Robert Baden
Powell was not the founder of
the Boy Scouts as il has recently
been claimed.
The first thing President Roose-
welt said when Uncle Dan" laid
the plans for the Boy Scouts of
America on his desk, Mr.. Beard
said, was bully. He then called
in Secretary of War Taft, Admiral
Dewey. Chief of Presidential Staff
Major General Bell. MIR. Beard
Immediately made them all
scouts. President Roosevelt asked
whom Beard had interested in
the plans. Beard answered John
Mum, the naturalist" Good,
Roosevelt said, who else?" John
Burroughs" Fine" the president
exclaimed. who elSe?" Buffalo
Bill.". Beard returned Bully,
he shouted and pounded both fists
on his desk in delight.
Recent controversy has been
initiated to prove that Lord Rob
ert Baden-Powell is the founder
of the entire Boy Scout order.
Uncle Dan" tenders the follow
ing quotation from letter Of
Lord Baden-Powelg then Sir
Baden-Powell, written in 1908,
Il looked over here in America,
read your books, cribbed right
and left and started the English
Boy Scouts No / am not the
father of the Boy Scouts. / might
be called its uncle."
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson
Seton and a number of ladies or
ganized the Fire Girls of America
at a luncheon. From this group
sprang the Campfire Girls.
The pame scout" is derived
from that dashing picturesque
crowd, Daniel Boone, Simon Ken
ton, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson,
who were known as scouts. The
word "tenderfoot" is essentially
an American word taken from
the cowboys of the western
plains and applied to the eastern
cattle shipped west, whose feet
became sore because of the rough
nature of the soil From that the
natural step was to call the new
corners, or greenhorns, tender
feet. Scout sas applied here is
purely American, tenderfoot is
purely American and coined in
America.
The Boy Scout hat is of that
date, and the handkerchief is that
used by the cowboys of the period
and still worn by the present day
cowboys. The khaki clothes are
those of the hunters and fisher
men of the period. Il is purely
American costume. Mrs. Beard
made dolls and dressed them in
the scout costume that the uni
form would not be mistaken. The
uniform remained the same, I'm
tai recently. when with the rest
of the world. the boy scouts
adopted the Tyronese shorts
Before the girl scouts were or

craftsmanship books. told them
of the Boy Scout organization
