Scouting Looks Ahead

Here, well elsewhere in America Boy Scout
Week will be observed February to 49, 1t will mark
the 49th anniversary of the organization that has touch
ed the lives of than 80 100000 Americans since
1910 There is hardly American family that has not
felt its influence
Today there more than 4,78OOOO boys and lead
ers playing the game of Scouting" Although one of
every four boys eight to sixteen years old is enrolled,
leaders of the movement want to at least ma
jority of the boys in America.
The next five years will large increase in
boys of those ages.
Looking ahead for the next five years." says DR..
Arthur A. Schuck, Chief Scout Executive 1--WE must
recognize that never has it been important i'm
perave that the youth of nation be trained to high
ideasm, acquired through unsefsh service by selfre
lance, and cooperative effort"
He says that although Scouting's ideals and objec-
tives has remained constant since 1910 the program
organization methods and operating technques have
changed the result of study and understanding of
changing conditions and necessary to meet the needs
of rapidly growing organization"
To bring Scouting to of the boys who want
it will require trained leadership and faci-
ties including camps
We are confident that the Boy Scouts of America
will meet the challenge Happy birthday, Boy Scouts!

covered by the scheme.
The high standard reached is
evidenced by the advanced cock
cry badge, which requires the
would-be cook to be able to plan
and cook three meals for one day
for a family Of four people. She
must also learn how to plan and
cook a Eu1opean-type meal con-
sisting Of soup, a main course, and
sweet.
In the three years since the
scheme was started over 5000
badges have been awarded. The
highest number have been for
needlecraft, in which subject 866
African women have reached the
required standard.
The lowest number in a single
group has been for literacy. The
literacy badge is awarded for
reading from a literacy primer,
from any other vernacular book,
and answering questions on the
passages read, and for writing a
letter.
Every encouragement is offered
the women who join the classes,
to hold their interest in the les
sons. Records are kept of indi-
vidual achievements, and wall
charts are used so that the pupils
can see how they are progressing.
Cookery classes frequently have
parties to sample one another's
cakes and pies. Whenever badge
has been won it is awarded with
| a simple ceremony in front Of an
audience of husbands and friends.
Pupils are not allowed to forget
the work they have done even
though they may have reached the
stage of winning a coveted badge.
That particular subject for the
award is periodically recalled and
welfare workers on their visits to
African homes watch carefully to
see that what has been learned a
the class is practiced at home.
| And q badge may even be with
drawn if the newly acquired
| knowledge is not put to good use.

The State Board had previously
adopted q resolution admitting all
qualified students to all the state
supported universities effective
September 1858. Prior to this res
olution and subsequent thereto, Ne
groes have been admitted to other
state universities in Tennessee.
When the 8 Negro students were
denied admission in September
1858, their attorneys filed suit and
sought an immediate restraining
order. This was denied by Judge
Boyd. They then requested a tenn
porary injunction pending dispo-
sition of the case, enjoining the
school officials from refusing adj
mission on the ground that to ad-
NIT them would result in violence.
The District Court Judge would
not hear this motion prior to the

District Court then refused to hear
the motion for a preliminary in

thing needed before lessons can
begin. Each year another grant
of $4,000 is received by each class
to keep equipment in order and
for perishable goods, such as,
cooking materials and soap.
The women buy the articles they
make and help toward raising the
funds themselves. The teachers
receive a part-time salary and
their travelling expenses.
Before the women attending the
classes can study any particular
aspect of homecraft they must
first earn an Introductory badge.
For this one must know how to
keep her house clean, how to air
bedding and fold it away neatly,
how to sew simple article, and
how to cook for child.
Once the first badge has been
awarded, then the pupil can begin
to work for any of 30 others, each
awarded when the teacher can
certify that the work for that
badge has been covered satisfac-
torily this entails at least IL les
sons) and that the pupil can ap-
ply her knowledge without further
assistance.
When five badges have been
earned, a star is awarded, and an
other for the next five, and so on
until 80 badges and six stars are
won.
Typical of the activity among
the African women, are classes
organized by Lusaka Municipality.
There are six welfare centers in
Lusaka and at all of them badges
are awarded when any of the wo-
men reach the required standard.
Over $50 African women attend
these classes. In additions, clubs
are organized for school girls, and
for girls who are unable to at
tend school. Those who are old
enough are taking a great interest
in working for badges, too.
The subjects for which badges
are awarded cover wide field
and. offer enormous scope for those
who are interested in organizing
such classes. Baby care includes
the attention required by a very
young child, it's training and feed
ing. treatment for childish all
ments, the making of patterns and
baby clothes, and extends also to
the toddler stage--the necessity
for daytime nap, the teaching Of
simple games and lessons, and
training in obedience.

territorywide scheme organized by
the African Education Department
of Northern Rhodesia.
Known as the Badge Scheme,
the project is carried out by over
60 voluntary European teachers.
each of whom organizes small
classes of pupils and arranges
simple lessons with one aim in
mind: to improve African home
conditions.
Gathered together in the teach
er's garden, or perhaps under a
tree in a village, African women
learn for the first time the SIM
pie, everyday tasks which are
taken so much for granted in the
home of the American-how to
wash or polish a floor, how to
wash a blanket, how to cook soft
foods for a child, or how to boil
water for a baby.
There are more than 100 classes
being run by individuals and by
varios bodies-municipalities, mine
welfare organizations, leper col
onies, missions-all following the
syllabus arranged by the adult
education section of the African

HELP ME- TO BRING THE
LORDS NEWS TO THE PEOPLE
WHO READ MY POEMS"
I believe in Christ with all my
heart
When the laws of the land steps
in
Christ said for His people to sep
arate from the world
And stick to a pure Christian
stand.
We are too quick to turn to the law
When we ourselves fill Gods House
up with the price
Money is leading in Gods House
today
And a very few members are lead
ing real Christian lives.
Too many so-called Christians are
leading today
And have never been born of the
Spirit of God at all
When misunderstanding comes up
in the Lords House
The law is the first man we call.
Christ did away with the law in
Gods House
When He asked for the old heart in
return for a new heart
And His Fathers love would abide
To keep us all in one family of
love never to part.
Christ paid the price for all of us
in Gods House
But we have taken the love out OF
Gods House with so much fight
ing and blood
He said for His people to separate
from the world t>t
And to save our young girls and
boys.
We have got to correct our mis-
takes today
And 90 back to our old land mark
Our girls and boys are running
wild at night
And this is not holding the right
light.
Gods House is sacred House to
worship in
And it's not for the big brain up in
front to be seen =
Christ said II have hid all these
things wise"
So it looks like the humble not the
fat but the lean.
Looks like the big men are running
Gods House
So he can make his speeches to the
people to be seen
Gods House 1t must be sacred
House
To separate the fat from the lean
We might as well get right today
Tomorrow it may be a day to late
The big fish are eating up all the
small ones
And a very few small ones are left
in the lakes.
Stop using Gods House for the Dig
mans speech
Let us all worship Jesus Christ on
the Cross /,
Then we will all be brothers and
sisters
And not one Of us will be lost.
