Our Boy Scouts Wilmette Troop Activities HEAR TRAVEL TALK Roosevelt Troop Number 2 of the Congregational church was enter- tained by a travel talk at Tuesday night's meeting. The lecturer was Dr. Pardee of Evanston who took the boys on a trip to the Malay penin- sula, going by Pacific Ocean steamer by way of the Hawaian Islands, and stopping at such interesting places as the Philippines. The natural history of birds, animals, fishes, as well as the natives, were studied on the way. Dr. Pardee is a delightful talker and has the rare gift of putting things across to boys. This illustrates a way in which many of our townsmen can assist in the Boy Scout work without a seri- ous sacrifice of time.- -If yoa have a hobby that is interesting or instruc- tive to boys, volunteer your services for a talk or demonstration of this kind. You will be so enthusiastically received that you will feel well repaid. Admonition was given by Mr. Stokes and. the candidates repeated the Scout oath.

The natural instinct had been destroy- ed. We are in danger of doing the" same thing in rearing our boys, but the contact made through the Scout movement is just what is needed. It is necessary that we have better men today than yesterday, and a training in citizenship will bring it about.

The work was well organized and thoroughly done and the assistance was appreci- ated by the committee. This form of community "good turn" is a part of the Boy Scout movement and the boys always respond to requests for their services in matter of general interest. Organized but -three months ago, this troop is rapidly increasing in membership. The troop qualified for the streamer presented by President Harding during Anniversary Round- up Week, to the troop increasing its membership over 25 per cent or over.
