WHY IS IT?

We have wondered why is it that
where a lodge is headed by presi-
dent who will not add any members
and who does not manifest the right
kind of spirit that his members be-
come careless end unconcerned. We
have come to this conclusion: the
president who is unconcerned is an
obstruction in the local lodge anc
the members tate to walk over him
thus, they become dissat isfied and
fail 10 function properly as members.
The lodge is not going to he. any
greater than the e d and some
heads are getting too small. Why
would a president want to see a To-
cal die under his administration? l
would resign before would let this
happen. Yet. some just like the
idea of being president and yet they
d. -ot want 70 pay the price.

ONWARD FOR GOD

The Boy Scouts of America OBJ
serves its 46th birthday during Boy
Scout Week February to IL, with
its membership at an all-time high
of 100000 boys and adult leaders.
Since 1910 more than 241s million
Americans have shared in its leisure
time program. There is scarcely an
American family that does not know
of Scouting firsthand.
To mark this birthday the organi-
cation launches a Four Year Pro-

God and My Country"
The Boy Scouts of America seeks
through organized and trained man
power to give an Increasingly better

A. Schuck, Chief Scout Executive,
and to help today's youth to Be
Prepared as citizen of character, to
be prepared in body skill, spirit, will
and as a member of ! team"
The Chief Scout Executive feels
that this program is launched at a
time when it is evident that increas-
ed emphasis on ouT free way of life
is important For the safety and
welfare of t he United States, he
holds, patriotism of tn e highest
type is essential. a patriotism built
on a firm spiritual foundation.

ABOUT UNFINISHED
RESEARCH

The Salk vaccine, developed with
March of Dimes funds, is medical
milestone, but ii is still not 100 per
cent effective nor can we tell yet
how long its protection lasts. March
of Dimes research aimed at improv-
ing preventive techniques is now in
process at many universities across
the land.
y Vaccine research, while occupying
the spotlight of public attention, is
not the only scientific project sup
ported by the March of Dimes. Large
investments are necessary to find
ways to improve care for those al
ready stricken with polio. Thus,
surgical techniques are being devel-
oped that pour new lite into para
lyzed thumb or transplant muscles
so that pitifully frail arms can be
brought into play again. This is the
kind of March of Dimes research tina
is being translated into reality in the
hospitals of America. This is one O
the ways the Dimes march home.
March of Dimes research is aimee
at specific disease, but the invest
cation of one virus is so closely re
lated to the study Of others, that the
whole field of medicine benefits il
the process. As an example, the It's
sue culture technique developed 70
growing the polio virus is already in
wide usage in research directed al
influenza and the common cold, a.
mong others. For whatever purpose
March of Dimes research is being
conducted, it must be supported with
continuing enthusiasm.

HUNTING ON
POSTED LAND

There is little doubt that the
problem of fewer and fewer acres
of available hunting land is grow
ing more acute each year for
hunters in many sections of the
country. This is a problem which
will grow more acute as the
years go by.
There are several theories on
cracking the problem caused by
the ever-increasing number of
acres posted by owners. One
theory is that states should take
over the job of patrolling lands
where hunters are permitted to
hunt on private property, in e
turn for which the owners will
get protection by state employees
who patrol the lands, protect
woods from forest fires and gen
orally supervise hunting activi-
ties.
Some states already have in
~augurated such a program and
similar programs have been be-
gun in other states. In some cases,
these programs have succeeded
and in others they have failed.
The point is that hunters can
do much to solve this problem
if they will observe the simple
rules of courtesy and good sports
manship. They should not leave
trash on land they are allowed
to hunt on, should, of course, be
careful about fires, should be
extra careful about shooting in
the vicinity of houses, or buildings
and livestock.
If hunters do this, and if sports
mems clubs in various areas will
try to help solve the problem of
a thoughtless hunter, thereby in
creasing the number of acres on
which hunters may hunt freely,
and if state wildlife and conser-
walton departments, utilizing land
which could be made more pro-
ductive, will collaborate, then the
problem will be eased.
But, in the end, it will be up
to the individual hunter to OBJ
serve the rules of good sports
manship and thoughtfulness, and
we urge all hunters to consider
this an immediate problem.

FORTY MILLION
STUDENTS

The latest official figures on
the number of Americans attend
ing elementary schools, high
schools and colleges show there
are at present AIS million stu
dents in the United States.
This is, of course, an all-time
record enrolment. Moreover, the
percentage of Americans attend
ing school is a record this year.
1t is estimated that one out of
every four persons in this country
will be attending schools or col
leges in the 1867 year. In adj
dition, more pupils r attending
| high schools than ever before in
our history, and more of them
are completing the full purse and
| graduating.
Another record, on the credit
site, is the fact that half of those
who graduate from high school
go on to college, either as full or
| part-time students. That is an
excellent average in a country
where college education is not
free.
Here are the figures on u. S.
school enrolment for the 1861
year. Some 25.5 million students
are in public elementary schools,
while about four million are es-
timated to be attending parochial
or private schools. Another 100,-
600 are attending other schools.
This is a total of 1916 million
students in elementary schools.
In our high schools some 7.2
million students are in public high
schools while nine hundred thou
sand are currently enrolled in
private or parochial schools. This
is a total of 81 million students
in high schools in the United
States.
In addition to these figures, it
is estimated that 80 million stu
dents are attending colleges and
universities, and that there are
some 100000 students in various
other schools in the United States.
This adds up to a grand total of
is million students.
Probably the worst two crises
being faced by school administra-
tors this year is that concerning a
shortage of qualified teachers, and
shortage of adequate school
buildings. The birth rate indicates
that in the next ten years, ele-
nentary and high school enroll
nent will continue to increase by
.oma thirty nQr cent
Therefore, these crises will get
worse before they get better, and
hose who are interested in guar
anteeing a good education to all
children in their community
take an interest in the
school problems which will be
in the next decade.
