Years ago we had t~1e good fortune to be a member of an amateur ·orchestra. It was a small orchestra, and the leader was not a professional musician. · J-Ie led for the fun of it. :\nd the performances . of our lit.tl.e grou1; were not a pure delight to the cnt1cal. Nevertheles~ we had a great time playing the Poet and Peasant overture, not all of us observing faithfully the san1e rhythtn or being always true to the exa.ct pitch. Hut in a sense we were I)laYinO' to· h gether. and that was enjoyable. . As we think about it we become more and tnore certain that there is probablv no ~s;~ciation of young people that develops m tts n1embers so many good habits as does an orchestra. It's a social organization, its members acting together, no tnatter how ineffectively. As they gain skill the togetherness improves, and the unitv increases. \\'ithout being told, each . player in an orchestra comes 'to believe that whatever ,,.e \Yc have seen yunng men and g-rown men who show a deplorable lark of skill in dealing with material things. Some men can not build a fire in the ope n .. H.ecenth· we saw a young fellow who was applying ·hi~ lighted tnatch to the lee side of a pile of tinder. The world is full of persons \Yho do things in the clumsiest wavs: who try to sa\v a piece of wood when it is not well supported: who do not know enough to place boards on a solid foundation when they want to drive nails throug-h them. A good scout doesn't do these foolish things. ~ot only does the scout acquit e skills of many kinds; he also acquires good mental and moral habits. By dealing with material processes he gains reasoning ability that is far above the average. He also learns the value of observing certain moral rules of keeping up to high n1oral standards.
