~ October 6, 1928 WINNETKA TALK I. Scout-0-Gram HIS MOTHER Judge Lindsey tells a striking incid- ent of a little fellow who came before his court, and was many, many times admonished about truancy from school. The teacher kept writing, however, that nothing had been accomplished, and that Tim seemed bound to work and to let school go. One day, in re- proving him, the Judge said:-"Now, Tim, there will be time enough to work when you are a man." The boy replied like a flash: "My father was a man, and he didn't work. He went off and left Mother and me and I guess that's what killed her too." Finally, after breaking every instruction, Tim appeared in court one day with a changed expression, his face ablaze with satisfaction. Walking up to the Judge, he pulled from his pocket a dirty piece of paper all crumbled up for inspection, saying, "I'm going to remember all the things you have told me now, judge, and I am going to school regular now for I've got that job all done." Judge Lindsey unrolled the paper and found it to be a re- ceipted bill and discovered that, little by little, poor Tim had actually paid, with pennies and nickels, $50.00 for a headstone for his mother's grave. "My boy, is that what you have been doing while you have been missing school so much?" said the judge; and Tim answered as he wiped the tears from his dirty little face: "I wanted her to have a monument too, judge. like the others had. She's done a lot for me; that's all I could do for her now." Offer Some Suggestions for Your Troop Program The following suggestions will be helpful to you in analyizing your troop program.
