His boy, his only son, one of a gang of idle sons of the over-rich, had been caught red-handed in the act of breaking into a bank. The boy had been taken to jail, held, and refuse~ bait. When the newspaper headlines brought to the father the startling news, he. hurried home from the nation's capital on the earliest train. Curious eyes were upon him when he alighted at the station. As his taxi hurrie' to his home in the little suburb, doors were opened and curtains pushed aside to get a glimpse of the father of the guilty boy. It was a hard meeting when father and son met. "After all I've done for you!" was all that Howard Barnard. Sr., fluent, persuasive, attorney of national fame. could utter. "After all I've done for you-you ungrateful son!" The bov said not a word.

Education in Character-Character is little more than a group of Charactertsttcs. It is a well known fact that Characteristic" do not "just happen." The chances are pretty strong that they are not inherited. They usually arc a result of experience. Scouting givc.s boys certain experiences and teaches them how to meet these experiences. Educating boys in Arithmetic is hard, but education in character i3 still harder. In originating the Boy Scout plan, seventeen vears ago, Sir Robert Baden Powell wa~ one of the pioneers in education in character. His plan of boy guided self-management came to be known as Scouting.
