Suggests Title for Paper Mrs, Wells writes from Highland _l‘ark headquarters as follows, . . . 5. Scouting education emphasizes the boy rather than the curriculum. 6. Scouting tends to develop creaâ€" tive ability. "The Boy Scouts are leading the wuy. The schools are following as rapidly as their cumbersome machinâ€" ery and their timid conservatism will permit. . We in the schools are slowâ€" ly adopting the technique and the program of scouting so wisely conâ€" ceived and so effectively carried out."

Scouting provides a selection of activity fitted to the individual, 3. Scouting offers a unique scheme of ~vocational exploration calculated to prevent square pegs in round holes. 4. Scouting is a unique plan for associating boys â€"with men of charâ€" acter. "Scouting is making effective methâ€" ods of education which the educaâ€" tional system has long ‘been feeling for but has not succeeded in putting into effect. Willim John Cooper, who was apâ€" pointed United States Commissioner of Education by President Hoover, is the father of an Eagle scout. He has watched and studied the program as it worked its way with his own boy and from this point of advantage he makes this rather bold. statement.
