Idea that chli dren were aVfeeteC ^ WHEN Mary Anne was just a tiny girl her mother had said to her, "Always remember, dearie, that anything you want 111 life will come to you, so long as it is a good desire. You must just keep your mind constantly on attaining it You must never want what belongs to some one else and you must never, under any circumstances, want anything wicked or harmful to anyone." Thus It was that the power of the mind and imagination to bring forth good things from the heart of the world was early instilled into Mary Anne's receptive brain. And as she grew up, guided by her wonderful mother, she developed an ufterly trustful nature. "> Also as a tiny, girl Mary Anne's extraordinary beauty of spirit was manifesting Itself physically. Her eyes were big pools of warm bluegray and her hair was like a sheaf of waving wheat with a glint of red sunset flitting over it. Her mouth was softly curved and childlike even in her mature years and seemed always ready with innocent and untarnished words of wisdom. Her mother and father were justly delighted with her and fostered the growing tendency to live in a world made up of friends of her imagination, yet friends whom she would otae day find and love. Of such fancy was Marj Anne's Cottage on the Hill. As early as her seventeenth year, when, unconsciously, thoughts of a mate somewhere in> the world came to her, she pictured vividly the cottage. It would be on the top of a hlfl commanding a view toward all corners of the wonderful universe and must be a low, rambling bungalow type that caressed closely and securely the warm breast of the hill. There would be Bentinel trees, a few of them, and just a scattering of flruit trees so that the blossoms could scent the air in the springtime and then blow out over the hilltop--little spirits of the wind. Needless to say, when Mary Anne entered the world of men and her charm swept them headlong into loving her, she wondered which one of them might ultimately be associated with the cottage on the hill. There came a (day when she was slightly troubled since her suitors were becoming a tiny bit trying. She made a background of her Cottage on the Hill and one by one tried to visualize arfy\one of the men in It, bnt always\a ffat in town or a house in the suburbs floated across the vision and left \rnry Anne puzzled. "Perhaps," stfe said wistfully to her mother, "perhaps God doesn't think It wise for me to have my cottage--, maybe ifs one of the things I am not to have." "You're young, dearie, and lots of good things require a long time to materialize. Why not take the trip abroad with the Elmers and come. back refreshed to think things over." Mary Anne did take the trip abroad. She went to France, to England, to i Ireland and to Scotland, and most of all she loved the rugged beauty. of the highland country. It was heather time on Loch Lomond and.the Elmers and Mary Anna, were staying at an inn on the very edge of the loch. And during the long, glorious ev§^ ning of sunset that seemed to linger for hours on the hills, Mary Anne took a walk along the loch side. Suddenly Mary Anne felt her eyea being drawn upward and she stopped and held her breath. "My Cottage on the Hill ^ she cried, and couldn't quite believe that she was not dreaming. A few yards ahead a tiny winding pathway led the way up the hill and there bathed in glory of the setting sun was, indeed, the oottage. It was whitewashed, with a slate roof, and lay there on the brow of the hill as if the Creator had put .the cpttage there as a finishing touch. Mary Anne could no more have restrained her feet from following that path up the hill than she could have turned her back on all her dreams. Then, within a short distance of the door itself and so confused with the joy of actually seeing something that had been a mind picture for neatly eight years, Mary Anne stumbled, turned her ankle and cried out swiftly with the sudden pain. A second later a big man sprang toward her, lifted her tenderly tip and carried her within the door of the Cottage on the Hill. "The poor wee thing--" some soft motherly voice said, and the soothing hands of a woman were attending to the business of caring for her ankle. And all the time Mary Anne was only half conscious of the big man with tiie burr of Scotch in his voice and the old gold of his hair and the bronse of his cheeks, hovering about with a *ast and tender light In his eyes. There was also an old gentleman with silvery locks and the three of them apparently thought Mary Anne was some strange flower dropped from the sky, so lovingly did they care for her And suddenly Mary Anne seemed to be a tiny girl again and her own precious mother was saying to her, "Remember, dearie, that anything you want In life will come to you, so long as It is good." And she opened her heart to that good thing which had come to ber-- It was in David's eyea and those of his mother and father--In that Cottage on the Hill FOR RENT--220 acre farm for rent, 2% miles west of McHenry, 1-4 mile from school.

As in this man's case, it is usually fortunate for them as well as everybody else that they do not have the power to guide the destinies of the home town. The unfair critic and the man who finds fault with everything in town are better off not running its afafirs. They had better leave that to the men and women of broad vision who are able to show the way to progress. And all the while the fault-finder fumes ahd battles against the way the town is going, it is really towing him safely along, while otherwise his craft doubtless would be wrecked on some reef.

Are lou a uoyi--Were You a boy? nave kou a Hoy? in any 01 tnese cases you will find great interest in Uie Hoy Scout Movemetn ox America. Ahe facts will be presented in these articles from week to weeK. s i rioys will He Boys iiut they don't mean juvenile delinquents, boys are not naturally inclined to be bad. .but tney are naturally inclined to be ousy. That being ousy may take the course of violating traditions and conventions of their eiders unless their elders see to it that the training is in the direction of ngnt, true, manly ideals. Most juvenile delinquency finds its roots in adult thoughtlessness. The boy wants to be busy, but the older people are too busy to help him. Tne intention of the boy and the inattention of the man lead to mistakes on the part of both. The result is unpleasant to both. The public also suiters. The Boy Scout Movement is the ounce of prevention that is worth more than a pound of cure. Boy All Over The Boy Scout Movement is just "Boy all over." It takes the original instinct of the boy to be busy and supplies the things to keep him so. It gives the boy all the liberty compatioie with developing true manhood. It utilizes things boys want to do. It builds from the ground up on a constructive basis. Negatives are turned into positives. The boy is shown the •'Why" of the things he, does. Body, mind and soul are exercised in clean, straight living. The boy wants it. There are practically no deserters among boys who once join, if proper leadership is provided to keep them in the movement. it Is American All Over Scouting is based on the idea of education, which is pre-eminently an American ideal. It is scientific education, for it begins with what the boys know and goes from that to things they ought to know. It does things that the schools can't do and that Sunday schools cannot do. And yet the whole force of it is to increase the boy's interest in the things the schools can do and the things the Sunday schools are doing. Boys are motor minded." They want action. They don't want to sit and just listen. But they will listen intentively if what they hear is related to what they are .going to do a little later on. That is where the Scout teaching ties up with what the schools and Sunday school want him to think about. Ever since our colonial fathers planted the little red school house on the New England hills, it has been our American ideal to provide for our coming genreations. The importance of the boy has never loomed larger than it does right now, when boys have so many things to occupy their leisure hours, that do, them nothing but harm. The need of efficient education and American ideals has never been so thoroughly recognized. We must omit no opportunity for moulding the character of our boys along these lines. The Boy Scout Movement is one of thet greatest of opportunities. Absolutely Non-Sectarian Recognition of God and service to Him are fundamental in Scouting, but the movement is absolutely without any sectarian bias. Whenever it is practical troops are organized in connection with churches of all denominations. If a Scoutmaster is available in that church, he is at once put in charge of that troop. No boy ^ trained away from the thought of Id own religious environment. This ^ attested to by clergymen and officials of all churches. There is no guesswork about it. Scouting plays fair with the church. --' • • ; Absolutely Non-Militaristic The constitution and by-laws of thp Boy Scouts of America also forbid it volving the'organization in any mat ter of political character. There is no effort of possibility of making any effort to train tVe boy away from his own political home environment. The Scoutmaster has no more to do with politics than the teacher or Sunday school teacher. The question is often asked as n whether the Boy Scout Moveme n t ! gives military training. The answi i is a decided "NO." But there are c< > tain things as essential to civic up Tightness and moral integrity, as they are to military discipline, which as > taught. Scouts do not carry guns ti h are they taught tactics distinctly mili tary in character. But the Scout mo'^ ment emphasizes the individual responsibility of the boy to obligations which he has v o l u n t a r i l y a s s u m e d , l i t is taught that his own oath involve s obedience to discipline that he m;r. gained efficiensy. Precision of action is balanced by training in personal resourcefulness. Above all the boy is trained to courage, loyalty, truth and manliness. These things every man needs outside military life as well as in it. Hie Trail of the Scout The Boy Scout movement has passed the experimental stage. Thilre may be modifications of it in the future looking to even greater efficiency, but its worth has been proven so effectively that none need question its being a national asset. The Scout has written his trail in the open places of nature. Boys by means of Scouting have learned to know nature and to love it. The exercise ^ mind, body and soul has been in the great out-of-doors as much as possible. Healthful conditions are thus applied for the proposed exercise of all the fundamental lines. The Trail in the Home But the trail of the Scout has also been blazed in the home. The boy who is taught the necessity of obedience in connection with the things he personally wanted to do cannot help taking . . . . • i _ • 1 i : f „ t i c But more important is the cleanliness of mind which the Scout learns in his regular course. The test of promiscuous contact with boys who know too much in the wrong way wiM not be met among his fellow Scouts. Clean, hight thinking is constantly held before the Scout as a standard to be maintained. If by chance the opposite for a moment shows its face thfe frown of other Scouts soon puts it to flight and forbids its reappearance. Scouts do not bring the heads of parents to shame and humiliation. That is the trail of the Scout in the home. Kindness, cheerfulness and reliability taught in Scouting induce a home reflex that brings smiles of happiness to parents' faces and. smooths the wrinkles from their brows. The Trail of the Scout in the School The Boy Scout movement does not aim to asume the responsibility of either the home or school for the boy, but supplement and intensify. the training of both in character formation. \ __ The relation of the Scout movement to the school is one of the closest coopeiation and mutual helpfulness. One high school principal has described Scouting by saying: "It has done what no scheme has ever done, before --made the* boy want to learn." Teachers, therefore, like parents, have an easiery time with Scouts. There is no trouble about the boy learning when he "wants to." All sorts of methods ,have been tried to make the boy want to learn. The Boy Scout method has come out of the same human laboratory and it is an experiment that has been successful. This is the trail of the £3cout in the school. The Trail of the Scout 4n the Church As we have shown , previously in this article, the Scout movement is absolutely non-sectarian, both in principle and in practice. But its program provides recreational actvities which are easily adapted as an adjunct to the work of the church and Sunday school. It serves ah important need in keeping the boy in contact with the religious activities of his own church. He does not get the desire to graduate, so evident in growing boys. Scouting does not specifically teach religion, but it does both directly and indirectly inculcate those ideals which will help boys to put in practice every day the religious faith which may be theirs. By his oath and in his training under Scout law, every boy who enters the movement dedicates himself to right living, to the service of Ged* and to the brotherhood of men. The Counter Attack , When a boy's mind is occupied with clean, appealing activities the doors of it are closed to tempations knock with desire to enter. The hard* est thing for parents and teachers combat is the insiduous propaganda evil which the unoccupied boy picksW' up. They can recognize itinhiscounte-^. . nance, in his growing reticence andk<>, j unresponsiveness. But it is beyoncP x "" reach. He will not talk it out. 4 -<• The Boy Scout movement has then1* ^ ^ preventative method and it has the counter attack for such conditions. ? ^ No greater thing for the McHenry^ county of tomorrow could be done than to enlist all the eligible boys of ( our county in the Boy Scouts of Amer- t ' ica.
