 source would have been taken very
 seriously.
 His book appeared at a moment when the whole world was saturated with material comforts and pleas ures and when Gas will always hap pen under such circumStances) the people who ruled the world were looking for an opportunity to escape from their own boredom and sense of futility.
 In France, the best brains set to work to try and evolve a political scheme which would allow the av- craze citizen to preserve his original goodness. They did not want his natural virtues to be corrupted into vices by that artificial civilization which in the eyes of Jean Jacques Rousseau had been the cause of mans lamentable fall from grace.
 In order to hasten this process of return to nature the brightest Frenchmen now set to work to carry the sum total of Accumulated knowledge unto all of the people. They tried to do this by providing the masses with an encyclopedia - 8 handbook of learning which should be based upon reason alone. It should do away with all the ab-
 surd and illogical fairy stories
 which had been handed down
 from generation to generation so
 people might remain cOntented to bear the yoke of their political, sO-
 cial and intellectual enslavement.
 The men and women who during the latter half of the 18th century began the battle for human enfran- chisement under the slogan of "Lib- erty, Equality and Fraternity" were as unselfish a group of truly inspired leaders as the world has ever seen. Only error they committed-and a fatal one it proved to be-was their absolute belief in their own doc

On Varied Events

PASSING of +. +. (Stadium)
Perkins, principal of Sta
dunn high school, will be
sincerely mourned by a wide
circle of friends. The thou
sands of Stadium graduates
whose lives he touched in one
way or another will cherish
his memory the rest of their
days.
Coming to Stadium in 1908
as football coach and math
teacher. Perkins had been
with the local school system
ever since, later as vice prin-
cipal and then principal. An
ardent golfer and bowler. Per-
kins took delight in sport of
all kinds.
A sterling character, of
shy and almost retiring dis
position, Perkins exemplified
in his own life the fine things
that he taught his pupils.
Fair. impartial, clean, he was
withal an outstanding coach
and schoolman. His passing
is a distinct loss to Tacoma.
THIRTIETH anniversary of
the Boy Scout movement
in America is being celebrated
this week. In its three de-
cades of service nearly nine
millions have been Scouts,
Cubs, or leaders. Today, l.
100000 boys and men are
actively enrolled.
Supplementing existing or
CARNATIONS such as home,
church and school, the Scouts
organization engages boys
leisure-time energies in out
door life and activities of cul-
tural and practical values.
These lead boys to become de-
pendable men.
Adults give time, energy
and financial support to those
institutions that help mold
children into citizens that will
guarantee continued existence
of the U. S. along the pattern
set by the founding fathers.
All of which is very much
worth while. The Scouts merit
the attention given them, not
alone on this 30th anniversary,
but throughout the months
and years.
