There are a number of blocks in the

trees or fences, and these are much

The Boy Scouts

A True Story for Mothers,
by a Mother
(Continued from Inst week)
Vox those who do not know and who
wish Information, I take the liberty of
quoting without permission from the
Manual:
The Hoy Scouts of Amciica is it cor
poration founded by a group of men
who are anxious that the buys of
America be built up in h11 that goes to
make character and good citizenship.
It is obligatory upon the Scouts that
they cultivate eouraee, loyuUy, patriot
ism, brotherliuess, self-control, court
esy, kindness to animals, usefulness,
cheerfulness, cleanliness, thrift, purity,
and honor.
The aim of the Hoy Scouts is to sup
plement the various existing educa
tional ncrniiLs. and In nrnmnte tlia
ability iu boys to do tilings for them-1
selves and others. ''
It is not a military organization,
rather a distinctly peace organization,
but so cultivating hardiness, readiness,
and courage in the boy as to better
tit him for war or peace, or, indeed,
auy emergency of life
All Scout troops should consist of
not less than eight boys, and all mem
bers should be twelve years of age or
over. These are directed tiy a Scout
master; that is, the adult leader of.
the troop, who must be twenty-one
years ot age. Tlie Scout-master takes
his directions and lessons, so to speak,
from a Manual, the Scout-master's
Manual, especially prepared for bim
by the members of the Executive Board
of 'the National' Council of the Boy
Scouts. yvu -
.This Board and Counsel are compos
ed of men high 'In standing, experts
in their own line, so that by means of
this organization the Boy Scouts of the
country are put in touch .-with the
country's ideas and the wisdom of
men who stand fur the best and most
American things.
The Boy Scouts will learn, if they
rollow the general program laid out
for them, and if they have an efllcient
Scout-master, any and all of the fol
lowing things:
Scoutcraft The Manual reads:
"To be a Scout means to be prepared to
do the right thing at the right mom
cut, un'uiattor what tlie consequences
may be "

he is; tenohes him tliu various kind

Meetings should lie, If possible, onoo
a week. The mum dltllculty is iu get
ting a good Scout-master, it must bo
someone tollable, lesponhible, and
whom tho boys will tespeut.
It is wisely recommended to ."go

to believe that it is barely possible
there may be a graiu ot egotism in my
eager indorsement of the lloy Scout
movement.
I have often longed to tell
the Rowdy's and the "Bully V mother
how sho should train her boys, and
have desisted; I have yearned to show
the Biaggart's mother her flagrant
mistakes iu the Braggart's education,
and 1 have felt that 1 had no light.
Hut now they have been Boy Scouts
six mouths, these three I can see the
Boy Scouts' organization effecting the
very changes I have longed to effect.
I can see the "Bully" no;longcr deserv
ing of the name; the Braggart become
a silent aud useful member of society;
-add the Rowdy? he is not two feet
from me as, I write, bis head bent duti
fully, along with the carroty head of
the Boy of my theories, over the Boy
Scoots' Manual, studying absorbedly
certain signs and obediences which he
owes to bis superior officer; as fine a
boy as you would care toese He even
gets up uow in manly'fashlon to offer
me a chair when I oorae in the room.
And neither his mother nor I, nor any
thing In our woman's sphere, is ac
countable for that, but only and solely
the Scout law and the grimy and much
fingered Boy Scouts' Manual that has
been complied and writteu by men
who were once boys themselves, and
who understand, as no woman ever
docs or can, a boy's world. If custom
permitted, I would take my hat off to
them; as it does not, I say, "Lord

The Editor.
Allegorically speaking the editor Is
11 happy medium between a soupboiio
and a portor-houso steak. Nobody
ever saw a itch editor, says H. J. Itaiiu
in tho lliriningham, (Alu.) News, and
on me oiner 11a1.1t 110 one ever en
countered 1111 editor who didn't head

choerf ul and overworked prevaricators
now passing us legal tender. When
ever a girl with a nice likocreain pull's
marries 11 youth who never earned a
dlmo outside the shooting gallery, tho
editor has to paint tho bride as a
radiant vision of blushing beauty and
1110 groom as 0110 01 our using young
business men, or else disappoint an
expectant ciicle of delinquent sub
scribers. If tho editor fails to spread
a two column obituary over tho death
of a pioiiilncut c!M.oii who never paid

The city council should appoint
some one with authority to keep the
streets free from wef ds, charging the
expense against the' lot owners. Some
of the streets are In a horrible condi
tion, suggesting a jungle or immature
forest rather than an avenue of busi
ness or pleasure. In past years 'the
olty employed a man with a mower to
keep the streets clean. It may be
that the city finances will not justify
ibis course now, and it may be that no
one cares to run a machine over the
streetawfth their accumulations of
cans aeitwtre and other , things liable
to break "a sickle. But were some one
man given the entire charge of the
streets, with authority to contract with
the lot owner, and In case of failure
to contract, to have the cost of his
work paid by the city and charged up
to the lot as taxes, he would find a
profitable occupation, and tlie health
and cleanliness of the city would be
greatly enhanced.
