Ww September 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 45 SCOUT NEWS International Leader to Be Guest at Conference Hubert S. Martin, director of the Boy Scout International bureau, will visit America this month and take part in the Fifth National Training confer- ence of Scout leaders at Cornell uni- versity, Ithaca, N. Y., as well as visit various Scout centers. Mr. Martin has been identified with the Scout Move- ment since 1909, having served as Scoutmaster, commissioner and chief Scout commissioner in the British Scouts' association previous to occupy- ing his present important post. He was awarded the Silver Buffalo for dis- tinguished service to boyhood in 1927, on the occasion of the 17th annual meeting of the National council, Boy Scouts of America. The citation ac- companying the award mentions speci- fically his "signal service to the world's boyhood by unifying, federating and promoting Scout organizations in vari- ous countries, and by establishing and maintaining standards to be observed." --Scouting. Scout-O-Gram ,male adolescents. KEEP GROWING The only people in the world that have any right to stop growing are those who are in the cemetery. LIVE people must keep Growing. They eep reaching out, and they learn new facts, think new thoughts, dream new dreams, and plan new plans. They keep changing. Bettering themselves! They keep moving. A river that stops moving is only a pond or a mud-hole. A tree that stops growing begins to decay. Weeds grow in an uncultivated garden. Like all these things, we hu- man beings, too, if we are to be Human Beings, must KEEP GROWING. --Everybody's Scoutbook. AT CONFERENCE Scout Executive Walter McPeek and his assistant, Carl McManus, are at- tending the training conference which is held each two years. Professional Scout leaders from all parts of the United States and Canada will be pres- ent. The gathering is being held at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y. Adventure Books Claim Preference With Scouts In a recent study made by Scout leaders, the following books were found to be most popular with boys: -- Tom Swift Series; Call of the Wild; Treasure Island; Tarzan; Boy Scout Series; Boy Allies Series; Roy Blak- ley Series; Wild Animals I Have Known; Huckleberry Finn; Slade Books; "We"; Wings; Robinson Crusoe. The most popular magazines are :-- Boys' Life; American Boy; Saturday Evening Post; American; Liberty; Popular Mechanics; Popular Science. A study of the returns to Boys' Life concerning the stories which boys like best, coincides with the choice of Scouts as given in this ques- tionaire. Their preferences are as fol- lows: 1. Adventure, 2. Athletic, 3. Mys- tery, 4. Animal, 5. Scientific, 6, His- torical, 7. Mechanical. Of especial in- terest was the large number who pre- ferred Aviation stories although this type was not listed on the question- naires. CADMAN PRAISES SCOUTS "The Boy Scout Movement is, in my judgment, the best organization in the world for the training of our boys, and It pledges them to courtesy, to consideration for others, to courage and to the definite purpose to let no occasion pass without ful- filling it with their best." Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, president of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.

This is particularly true when the training that is sought is highly specialized as in an art school and one is not familiar with the educational standards of such an institution. Certain it is, however, that there must be a high scholastic standard and that this may be recognized through the results obtained in the students' work. The Evanston Academy of Fine Arts is conducted upon the highest scholastic standards. This, we are sure, is apparent to everyone who investigates our methods and sees the students' work. The time taken out of one's life to get an education is very important. Our methods are directed to effect a saving of years.
