ABOUT THE BOY SCOUTS It has been truly said that the boy is like the unbottled extract of beef, in that he is the essence of energy; his mind constantly alert to seize each new idea, and ready to try his muscle in any new direction. The boys' hands: They are the active agents of the brain. Trained they naturally turn toward con- structive work; untrained they can develop into a great evil, One vital factor in a boy's exist. ance is uw sound body; and-on-that he builds up its twin--a sound clean mind. As the boy is the hope on which the future rests, a great movement was inaugurated in this country, known as the Boy Scouts Association in Canada, its object and purpose be- ing to give every boy an equal chance to develop his body and his special gifts, or as the Chief Scout terms this object, "The development of self from within, in place of instruction from without." It is a big concep- tion carried out in a big way, and its growth and practical "value is daily being demonstrated by these Scouts, who are living examples of what boys can do when rightly diverted. You see a boy on the street, alert, straight and neat. He is clad i a khahki shirt with blue "shorts", with his "P. B." hat. This boy is a Scout, (one of thousands) who is striving each day to live up to the standards expressed in the Scout laws. One of the points ot the Scout law is, tht a Scout is clean. He keeps clean in body and thought, stands for clean speech, clean sport, clean habits and travels with a clean crowd. This sums up just what a parent would wish his boy to be, and what the boy himself tries to be after once becom- ing a Scout, It has often been said that the Scout movement has a mark of mili- tary training. But such is not the case, merely the necessary discipline where _a_group -of boys are being trained and directed, especially in in camp where the hours of each day are so arranged that each Scout gets full benefit from every phase of scouting. | The summer camp is the big ad- venture in the boys' idea, and to ap- preciate the real spirit that animates the boys, parents should make it a point to visit at the camp during the of your boy, he is independent, doing for himself the things that were thought impossible, and rendering service to his brother Scout. Why? Simply use a Scout's duty is to August Delineator Price " Here is another view-point] made in one-piece style, Price 50c. 25¢. is quickened day by day as they real- ize that they are building something bigger and better. And the ideals of a Boy Scout make him a potential leader in health-living, health-giving, and health-producing force for the country. This is a fact. [I investigated it. It will repay you. Yes! Even in dollars and cents; if you wish to re- gard it in that light. As a tribute to the value of Scout- ing we would quote from an address delivered by Dean James E. Russell; of Columbia University, who has de- clared the Boy Scout Movement to be "the most significant educational contribution of our time." "The Naturalist" he says, "may praise it for its success in putting the boy close to nature's heart; the moralist for its splendid code of ethics; the hygienist for its physical training; the parent for its ability to keep his boy out of mischief; but from the standpoint of the educator, it has has marvellous potency for convert- ing the restless, irresponsible, self- centred-boy into the straight-forward dependable, helpful, young citizen. To the boy who will give himself to it, there is plenty of work that looks like play, standards of excellence which he can appreciate, rules of con- duct that he must obey; positions of responsibility that he may occupy as goon as he qualifies himself--in a word, a program that appeals to a boy's instincts, and a method adapted to a boy's nature.
