The birthday uf Theodore Roosevelt
Is observed by boy scouts throyghout
the country at tlte instigation of
the national J council - who feel
that the late Colonel specifically
represented perhaps better than any
American of recent years those quali
ties of sturdy manlkood, clean, high
visioned, loyal, virile, which they like
to emphasize and keep before scouts
as a living ideal. There Was a particu
larly close relation between Roosevelt
and boy scouts inasmuch as he was
vitally interested in the movement and
was at the time of bis death said to
have been considering becoming a
national leader of the organization In
which he was already an honorary
vice-president and held the title of
chief scout citizen.
Last year, under the leadership of
National Scout Commissioner Beard,
bdy scouts of New York and vicinity
made a memorial pilgrimage to
Roosevelt’s grave, an event repeated
this year on an even larger scale. In
other parts of the country the celebra
tion took the fonn of tree planting,
mass patriotic meetings, father and son
banquets, etc., all devoted to the ;
pose of keeping alive the memory of
the great American who played so
htg a port In our national life and
whose spirit All "goes marching on"
among us. ^
