WELFARE BOARD EXPLAINS ITS
POSITION.
Editor of Tribuno:
Dear Sir: In. as much as It is re
ported that tho Board of Public Wel
fare is asking for censorship of local
picture flltira, will you nllow the
Board to mako a statement that will
clarify tho question? In many of our
conferences tho question of public
amusomonts that lmvo been violating
tha laws of state and city has been
frequently called to our attention and
wo have asked the City Attorney to
draft an ordinance that In his judg
ment would bo proper nnd right for
our consideration, but In this wo have
scarcely Had tho picture shows in
mind, nor have wo ever presumed to
bo censor of the shows, and wo cor-
talnly have noverasked tho attorneyto
draft nn ordlnanco makinir tho Board
consorovor tho sIiowb, this for ntleast
two reasons: First, we do not believe
wo could do any good, as local cen
sorship has proven a failure in every
case; socond, wo have moro than we
can do now. However thero aro some
public tiniuscluonts ,thaL are. porplox
ing'the public -mind Ui'arworriIglit'be1
able to help some if the chance were
given us. Yours truly,
Board of Public Welfare.

THU FOLLOWING AS THE AIM
OF SC'OUTIXO.,
Scouting without its outdoor craft '
nhd life. Its uoopornltou nnd sorvlco,
It lofty code of pprnonnl and civic
honor, needs mon.
A waiting lino ot thousands upon
thousands of boys wanting to become
Scouts Btands wnltlng for mon for
coutmnstors.
Roal, Hvo men rod blooded and
righthcarlod mon big men nro sum
moned to this national scrvlco of tho
leadership of tho Nation's boys to
morrow's men.
Scouting is Amorlca's accepted pro
gram for hoy dovolopmont. Scout
troops dot ovory cornor of tho coun
try. More than n third of a million
scouts from Mnino to California aro
daily doing "good turns." Posted but
a fow feet apnrt tlioy would strotch
a living chain across tho continent
from Atlantic to Pacific.
Marching In closo formation up tho
streets of any ot our cities, thoy
would roqulro four days and nights to
pass in rovlow. Rack of all thoso
thousands of youth pledged to tho
Scout Oath and Law, stands tho Scout
mnstor. Ho is tho "koy-man." Ills is
a "koy-job" big, delightful, vital.
Modern llfo presents to mon no moro
worthy tnBk than tho. leadership ot
boys. It challenges and demands the
best any man has in him. Indocd only
tho host mon can lead boys. Thoy
demand 100, leadership.
Scouting, howovor, presonts a prov
ed way to do it. Being a Scoutmaster
has como to bo known as a badgo of
quality an earmark ot real man
hood. But Scouting is not bounded by A
morcn. Tho now Scoutmaster or
Scoijt Is joining a program which has
already bolted tho globe.
Fifty-seven countries representing
an nggregnto population of 1,540,000,
000 or 01 of tho population of tho
world, has adopted tho scout program
Tho Scout Oath is solemnly taken
in almost every tongue Honest,
onrnost Scout hearts boat boneath
tho white nnd yellow and red nnd
black skins aliko. Such ideals aro a
potent International fotco making for
friendship and good will for the noxt
generation.
tiio now scoutmaster nns uocomo
part of a growing movomont. Though
Initiated but In 1910 tho movomont
today embraces a hnlf-mllllon Scouts
nnd officials with nearly 32,000 Scout
mastors and Assistant Scoutmasters.
Yet with nil ot this growth, with
Uio official adoption by Protestant
and Catholic Churches ns official
pyogmhiHfx-vrUh UhIodk muLClubStnnu
urgnnizutiuns on .au sines Hastening to
adopt its program, tho Movement has
only begun. '
Litorally thousands of boys, 12
yonrs nnd older, stand in a waiting
line to enter Scouting.
Eight million boys In Uio United
States have not yet hnd a chanco to
bocoma Scouts. And why? Largoly
bocnuso enough big men have not
stopped forward to bo Scoutmnstors.
THE SCOUT OATH.
