is ver large Every district nlmo t

wishes The other day n national
iiig of influential Britons under tiie
chairmanship or the lord mayor tie
cided to open D l scout employmeui
bureaus through which the employers
of the country can engage lads who
have been rigorously tested out
The boy scout movement has entirely
lived down the taunts of those who
said it was merely the ephemeral
hobby of an eccentric military man
Unlike the cadet corps of rich mens
sons and the boys brigade of the poor
theiv are no class distinctions with the
hoy scouts The unit of membership
is just an embryo citizen a lad who il
fate has endowed him with sheltered
and cultured surroundings will prob
ably become a good citizen and who
if endowed with an unhappy home life
and the streets for a playground will
quite conceivably turn out a bad citi
zen The boy organization with
its delightful adventures and ritual
captures this embryo citizen and does
its best to make his bent toward good
citizenship smv and permanent
Every boy on joining the corps has
to take the scouts oath and promise
on his honor three things To be
loyal to God and the king to help
others at all times and to obey the
scout law His motto is Be pre
pared Obedience to those in authori
ty self sacrifice a strong sense of
duly noticing details tracking ani
mals the meaning of small signs judg

facturers all over England have been

an amusing state of affairs is to be
