The more boys -that comd4 under tlie influences of scouting, tlie healthier, happier, finer will the boyhood of America be, the greater the promise of its future. It ife not meaningless chance that makes us hear on every side that boy scouts aren’t In the police courts, that boy scouts are in the honor rolls of our schools, that boy scouts are performing this or that civic service. Scouting rings true to its aims. It not only claims to fit boys for manhood but it does it, so why shouldn’t we be proud that the Boy Scouts of America numbers an active membership of over 4(50,000. Why shouldn't we salute and pay all liopor to the scoutmaster, the volunteer leader of boyhood under a great banner to a great goal? Why shouldn’t we say to them and. each other : “Come on, let’s make it 500,--000 by Christmas?”RULES FOR BOY SCOUTS.3. Do not start a forest fire.2.
