WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, Cobb Indorses Scout Movement . Irvin S. Cobb, in the Saturday ~ Evening Post, has the following to say regarding the boy scout move- ment. "An overwhelming majority of us agree that a finer institution for the ~ growing youth than the boy scout @#movement was never devised. How can any one consider .the proven re- sults without indorsing that view? When I was a small boy most of the things which a small boy's con- stant craving for adventure and ex- ~ citement led him to undertake were forbidden him. His restlessness found a vent, therefore, in the doing of mischievous acts, and very frequently ~ harmful and hurtful and cruel acts. The founders of the boy scout movement caught at the instinct of the boy at being something else than what he is, and at his aptitude for imitation of his elders, and at his love for pomp and show caught "all these threads up and wove them together in a fabric of sanity. They capitalized his yearning to wear a uniform and 'to march in ranks, and best of all, they showed him he could have a good time--a better time than his father at his age ever had--and yet could perform ~ manly and decent and healthful deeds while having his fun. You can't beat a scheme like that one; it is doubtful whether you can greatly improve upon it. Personally, am inclined to believe it to be the very finest and sanest idea that this century has to date produced. Incidentally, boy scoutdom is im- - planting in the boy's mind, at the very seed time of his life, the germs of discipline, the willingness to take orders and the ability to give them. It is educating him for authority and for appreciation of the needs of organization; it is drilling into him an understanding of what duty means when it is systematized, and what responsibility means when it is Attention Men!
