A patrol leader is chosen from among the (tight and tho adult leader of the troop is known as the Scout Master. The only requirements for one to become a scout are that he knows the salute, scout sign and lr.ws, and that he takes the scout oath. He then advances as fast as he learns, and passes the required examinations The scouts receive Instruction in first aid, life saving, tracking, signaling, cycling nature study, seamanship campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry and all the handicrafts. It means outdoor life and all the benefits of that hind of a lifo for the growing boy, as well as developing character and ability. And from the nature of the organization, It is a thing that will appeal to any boy. And the best of it is that they learn while they play.

There is quite a movement agitated around town tending towa.rd the organization of a company of Boy Scouts. There is nothing that could work in better conjuction with the playground movement that has come along with the new park on Scouts creek. Boys must be kept interested, and must have their fun; and there is no better fun nor more interest in anything, nor more good to the genus boy than has como to him from the Uoy Scouts organizations which have sprung up throughout the country. The organization was started originaly in this country, but Its greatest possibilities were seen and taken up by a soldier of England, Lieut. Gen. Rob. S. S. Baden-Powell, who while working from a military basis works toward universal peace. By training the boy in science of war, he at the sf.me time learns of its terrible aspect. Discipline and self control and unselfish service are the primary*, aims of the organization, all working toward the better man and the better citizen. The benefits of the movement have been generally recognised In all of the cities where it has been instituted, and what little financial aid has been necessaryhas been forthcoming. '? ?!">?
