WINNETKA TALK October 27, 1928 ilt9 9 PmN.L EE BOY SCOUT NEWS sorts Snore reoons A regular feature page prepared each week by members of the Boy Scout Press club, North Shore Area Council of the Suggest Principles of Leadership for Local Scoutmasters In a bulletin Scout leaders issued from Council headquarters last week nineteen points of emphasis on the prin- ciples of Scout Leadership in relation to Boy development were set forth. They are as follows: 1. Be a skillful, quiet guide, rather than a noisy promoter. 2. Build morale, rather than obedience. 3. Retain the boy's original interest in Scouting by playing the game as he sees it. 4. Use the out-of-dors, since and experience are best there. 5. You were young once, try to re- member back. §. Get the boy to purpose his own ac- tivity. 7. With suggestion, get the boy to wish what he does. 8. Act when the boy is ready to act, and create situations for readiness. 9. Remember one learns by practice. Provide opportunities for the boy to practice the thing to be learned. 10. See that the right practice is ae- Soniplished by satisfaction and the wrong practice by annoyance. 11. Remember that satisfaction and an- noyance are best when they come from within. 12. Aim to have the boy make successes of the things he underatkes for success stick. 13. Remember that a boy learns many things at once. While he is learn- ing a skill watch out for the hab- its of conduct he is learning too. 14. Use the Patrol and group activities to build moral and public opinion which will cause the boy satisfac- ! tion or annoyance. 15. Punishment from within is best. An ! appeal to pride beats a bawling out. 16] Coercion MAY be followed by in- : terest, but its the last choice. 17. Give the boy pprtunities and appeals that challenge. 18. Remember he Js growing all the time. He likes manly treatment. 19. Set an example.

Let reverence for law be taught in the schools and seminaries and the colleges. Let it written in primer, spelling books and almanac, and let it be preached from the pulpit. Proclaim it in legislative halls, enforce it in courts of justice. In short, let it become the political religion of the nation."--Abraham Lincoln--Scout Lead- ers Bulletin START EM YOUNG! i 1. The Twelve year old--(a.) recruits most easily--(b.) stays longest--(c.) ad- vances farthest. 2. The critical year in Scout life is the First, Forty-nine out of every hun- dred Scouts drop out in their first year. 3. It is harder to get out of tenderfoot rank than to get into First class rank. Fifty-nine out of every hundred Scouts never get beyond the Tenderfoot rank. 4.
