Human Conduct Can Reach
Four Levels, Says Educator.

Seven-year-old Johnny majored in
telling tall" tales to a worried mother
who felt ali her attempts to teach him
honesty had failed.
There is evidence that lessons" in
honesty do not always improve conduct
and in some cases actually do harm
John Dewey, great educator and phil
osopher, thinks that to work effectively
with children, we must know the diff
ferent levels or stages which human
conduct can reach. He describes the
first level as instructive behavior, then,
gradually children adopt habits of
doing what they are told. This is the
second level-behavior prompted by
fear of punishment or hope or reward
The next step upward is conduct
adapted to society's approval. The
final step is taken when an individuals
behavior is influenced by an altruistic
unselfish desire for the common good
No on lives entirely on this level but
acts on all four levels.
AS children grow, they also mature if
there is not too much fear and guilt
to contend with. Maturing is not al
ways easy, and it takes all the child
hood years filled with rich experiences
to become an adult in the broad sense
of the term-physically, mentally and
emotionally-(Mrs0 Belle o. Fish

Recent surveys made in the Head

900 Of the ooys of Scout age, who are

that they would like to join troop.
1t is in order to help meet this demand
and to develop the organization to
reach these boys that the local council
makes its annual appeal to the general
public for financial support. 800 of
the Scouts il the council are sons of
laboring men, many of whom are on
the relief rolls. These boys need a
program of interesting activities under
the sympathetic leadership of volunteer
leaders as a means of personal de-
velopment for good citizenship and as
means of reducing juvenile delin-
quency.

BOY SCOUT
NEEDS PUBLIC SUPPORT
Organization Explained


Gin connection with this series of
articles explaining the organization and
administrative plan of the Boy Scouts
of America in the HeadwaterS Area
Council, one of the important matters
to be discussed is the need for public
financial support Editor.)
The real work of Scouting as pro-
gram to help develop character and
train youths for good citizenship is
actually carried out in the individual
Boy Scout Troop or Cub Pack. Here
we find volunteer leader who is in
terested in boys and willing to devote
his time week after week in the interest
of a group of boys. This man needs
assistance and direction as well as
encouragement in carrying out this
volunteer work effectively. Back of
each troop leader there is troop
committee of at least five men who are
responsible for the troop under their
national charter. These men also need
assistance and direction.
Civic, patriotic, fraternal arganiza-
tionS, as well as many churches, are
sponsoring Scout troops as part of their
own youth programs, and these spon-
soring organizations also need help in
making the program effective. In the
Headwaters Area council there are over
700 men serving voluntarily in various
capacities as troop leaders, troop conf
mitteemen and members of district
executive committees or members OF
the area council executive board. These
men are all willing to devote their
time and energy to this program but
due to the fact that they need to be
trained, organized and encouraged in
their work they need the support of the
local community in financial way tC
help cover the cost of administering
the Scout program. In the Headwaters
area there are eight counties and IL
administrative districts stretching from
Bemidji to Ely and north to the
border.
Acting through district representa-
tives at the meetings of the executive
board and at the annual council meet
ing these men set up voluntarily g
| budget that they feel will be required
to carry on the Scouting program ef-
fectively. Each district or community
voluntarily assumes share of this
budget which covers the salaries of the
two trained Scout executives and office
secretary. 1t includes share in the
travel expense to the various districts
and communities and also helps tc
take care of the necessary Office work
required in handling correspondence
records, registrations of troops, bulle-
tins and other necessary services which
finally benefits the troops. In ad.
dition all badges earned by Scouts ir
their activities are presented to the
Boy Scouts without charge
The training of district committee.
men, commissioners and other Scout
leaders is an important expense in the
council budget. This work is formally
presented at training courses from
time to time and by personal contact
with the executive.
Under the area council plan OF
Scout organization, district and com.
munities are able to derive all the bene-
fits of Scout organizations at only 6

THE RADIO WAR
(WinstOn-Salem JOurnaD

AS the Franco-German war subsidies, the radio
war between Germany and England grows more
bitter in advance of the expected b~litzkrieg on
the British coast. In the d%esultory stages of the
second World War, England was inclined to
take German propaganda broadcasts lightly and
to retaliate tightly. Britishers waxed merry
over Lord Haw Haw. BIC broadcasts were
"mannerly." They were directed mostly at the
German people with whom, they said, Britain
had no quarrel, warning them that they were
being misled by INSCRIPTIONS leaders.
But as the Germans blasted their way across
France, and as Lord Haw Haw blasted his inso-
lent way into the homes of the British people by
way of the radio the British broadcasters adopt.
ed a gloves-off policy.
Now 1t is no longer a plea to the people to
shake off the domination of their ruthless lead.
ers, but a threat that they must expect retalia.
ton for permitting a criminal government to
use them as willing instruments Of it's plans.
German bombs may fall, but We shall pay
you back" are the threats that the Germans
daring enough to defy the Gestapo and listen in
may hear. 1--WE shall pay you back with inter
est! This time We will carry the war right into
your hearths and homes"
But just as Hitler has the advantage in other
ways because he has no scruples in imposing his
will on the people, so he has the advantage in
to listen to his propaganda. But the German
people are forbidden to listen to foreign broad
casts under threat of dire punishment.

HOSPITAL NEEDS DISCUSSED

THE inadequacy of facilities at James Walker
L Memorial hospital have been a matter Oh
deep concern in Wilmington for some time.
The board has been perplexed to know how to
expand. Federal funds are unobtalnable WIFI
out revision of the charter and this cannot De
done under terms of the will of JAMES WALKER.
The question is how to get money for additions
to the plant, which are indispensable IL the
hospital is to meet the needs OF the county
sick.
One plan, submitted to the county and city
commissioners in joint session on tuesday, Is
that the two boards contribute $4,000 each
for three wears, If this is done, the commits
sioners were told, the hospital board would IN
dertake to finance whatever balance may be
required for construction Of additions, for
which it is estimated not less than Sloo'ooo
should be available. The discussion was so
broad and dealt with so many aspects OF the
problem that the commissioners have taken
the recommendations under Amusement anu
will 20 into them further at a meeting on FIJI
day.
That something should be done to bring
James Walker hospital more nearly into line
with it's opportunity for service is obvious. DR..
DONALD B. KooNcE turned the spotlight on
present limitations when he told the commits
sioners that more operations are performed
daily in one operating room at this hospital
than in three rooms at Medical Center, New
York. 1t was brought out, too, that even emer-
gency cases requiring surgical attention are
sometimes unavoidably delayed as much as 10
hours, or even II, because of the heavy demand
for operating rooms.
It is a we'll known fact that many Whining.
tonians go to other hospitals in the state and
even beyond the states borders because they
cannot be given quick attention at James Wal.
ker. This, of course, is economically wrong.
Wilmington should be able to take care of the
county's ailing without creating conditions and
crowding so greatly deplored at James Walker.
Whether the proposal Of the directors for
larger contributions from the city and the
county are deemed advisable by the two com.
missions or not, the hospital, and the public,
should not have to submit to existing made
quacies longer than is necessary to set up a
new financial structure for the hospital and
put it into operation.

MORE THAN A BRAWL

"For the present, the World war becomes a
Balkan brawl." This was the comment of a
close observer of Europe's war yesterday, and,
because of the slack military activity abroad,
it described the situation aptly.
That was yesterday. What may happen to-
day, or tomorrow, is beyond any mans guess
at this distance.
The lull in the fighting may indicate that
HITLER and STAIN have composed their diff.
ferences over Rumania. Or it may mean that
each is watching for a chance to outmaneuver
the other. For example, STAIN may be waiting
for HITLER to engage his armies in an active
about campaign against England to seize the
food and petroleum resources of King CAROLS
crumbling nation. On the other hand, HITLER
may be quietly and secretly assembling re.
serves for a sudden demonstration somewhere
in the Danubian area in the hope of catching
STAIN off guard.
However this may be, or whatever else the
two chief d%ictators are plotting against each
other, it is too soon to assume that the Balkan
disturbance is mere by-play. The rich re.
sources of Rumania are too great a prize for
either dictator to yield them to the other, now
or later, without a blow. The seed of major
conflict is fast terminating in Rumania.

THE AMERICAN METHOD
washington Post)

Italian newspapers, commenting on the Re.
publican convention, are reported to have said
that the American method of selecting a candi.
date is an 'incomprehensble mystery" One
need not take offense at this confusion, which
doubtless is shared by many who live under pc.
litical systems different from our own.
A person of fascist mind could not be expected
to understand our system of open discussion, of
pickering, bargaining, horn-tooting and vote
switching. Closer to the totalitarian pattern,
perhaps, is the conclave in the smoke-filled
room-which had no part in this years choice
by the COP. For us the important factor is
that the candidate was, as the Italian press Oh
serves, selected-not dictated.

PENNY SHORTAGE

Pennies are in demand. The new federal de-
Tense taxes have started a run on the mint.
At Philadelphia it is expected that the mint
will have to turn them cut on a 2-hour-a-day
basis to meet the demand. On June a., this
one mint had on hand 1884, 130, 900. Today
says the superintendent, the only pennies in
the mint are in the pockets of employes-thei1
private property.
It seems impossible that America should turr
its pennies into battleships, but that evidentl,
is what it is doing. With special taxes levied
on some 40 items in popular demand, the few
pennies collected from each purchaser will
soon mount to millions,

THE DAY OF AMATEURS

Now that sufficient time has elapsed since
it's actions, one thing stands out conspicuous
ly: The Old Guard was driven on the rocks
by the younger element in the party leader
ship. 1t has become popular among the COL
umnists to call these young men amateurs
with the thought, probably, to make their vic
tory the more impressive. The Old Guard, of
course, is the professional element and for it
to go down before the onslaught of amateurs
makes defeat more notable.
Whether this is the correct deduction or not,
it is a fact that men who have been able for
years to control the destiny of the republican
party, name it's candidates, write it's platform,
and in every major matter impose it's will
upon the rest of the party's personnel, are now
RELOCATED to the side lines to watch the game
OF politics as played by ~novices. And the re
publican party is a stronger organization as q
result. New blood, new thought, new enthu
siasm, new energy are the tonic which the
party has long needed.
Which introduces the real purpose of this ar
ticle. We conclude from the facts as they exist
in the republican party and its rebirth at Phila
delphia that amateurs (save the mark) ar
about to have their day. The old order, the pro
fessional order, is deposed. Young men are
taking over, injecting new life into o~rganiza
lions Of many kinds. Bringing new viewpoints
into play, they are creating a new order, a new
strategy, in a great variety of activities. II
would seem that if Wilmington amateurs also
get on the job, if Wilmington's younger leader
in their leadership the tonic that will send tn
city ahead with new momentum toward goals
long in sight but never reached,
