STAR SCOUT WINS BADGE. | Among the various Merit badges which are open to first-clas scouts is one which boys rarely apply for ihough it is an interesting one. This i of view of the lawyer or his client, the conc! T Lawyers Subject to Indictment for Negligent Management of Offices By ROGER SHERM.: , Vice-Pres't Ill. State Bar Ass'n. After making a most careful and painstaking study of the subject of business systems in law offices, the committee on oftice management of the Illinois | yers generally are subject to indictment for criminally negligent management of their offices. Such an indict- i ment would charge them with failure to install modern [ methods, systems and appliances; failure to respond | to the demand for practical lawyers and practical methods; failure to transact their clients’ business along business lines and to dispatch it as a business proposition ; and failure to appreciate that they have a business of their own, distinct from that of their clients. Today, more than ever hefare, the public demands “service.” It must have results, not delays, not excuses, not explanations, but results. The man who carries the message to Gareia gets his reward. The business man or lawyer who cannot “deliver the goods,” will not succeed in the long run. Business systems and business devices in the law offices are merely a means to an end; they enable the lawyer to @ve the public what it wants—quick results. While “honesty is the best policy,” system is a necessity to the progressive Jawyer. If a lawyer has not developed a system that will enable him to give quick and satisfactory service, his clients will go to another lawyer who is better equipped. It is & simple proposition and whether it is approached from the point usion is the same—the lawyer’s best interest. From the client’s point of view it means quick and effective results and profit or at least a saving to him; hence satisfaction with the lawyer, willingness to pay a fair fee, to recommend the lawyer to others, unusual badge in blacksmithing has | just been won by Robert Reed, a star | seout of troop No. 11, Oak Park, 1L | Most of the required preliminary work | was done in connection with his man- ‘ ual tralping work in high school.

GOOD TURNS OF ONE TROOP, Troop 3 of Flushing, Long island, reports the following “good turns: Five scouts took part in first me- morial Roosevelt pilgrimage, rroop took tickets for All Ame mass meeting, 1 ; distributed circulars for ald of starving Serbians 200 posters for hospital drive; assisted at Memorinl day services for G. A, assisted at Rotary club meeting: tributed boxes in Salvation army drives helped clean vacant lots; one member of troop rescued a boy from drowning. Notwithstanding all this activity this troop has been keen for scout- craft advancement also. During the year 13 doys became tenderfoot gcouts, 19 entered second class and | six became first class. One life and one star scout and two eagles are also on the troop's record. o BERNE. - S RELAY PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. The Syracuse (N, Y.) Herald offers a permanent cup trophy for g relay race to be competed for annually by Boy scout treops of the Herald parish in connection with the State fair. Last year the runners carried a message from General Pershing to Governor Smith. This year fhe thes- sage was from Persident Harding to Governor Miller and was won by the Phoenix oy scout team who carried the message from Auburn to the fair grounds, a distance of 26% miles in 2 hours, 19 minues, 10 seconds. The fastest Individual contestant was Howard Moyer, who ran a half mile in 2 minutes, ten seconds. CITY STRONG FOR SCOUTING. A scoutmaster of Mt. Pleasant, Ttali, reports that nine per cent of the population of the city are in scouting and that the whole town is behind the scout movement heart and soul, be- cayse they see the wonderful results 1 fs having among the hoys who are in it. The scouts themsel are very much alive and keen on the outdoor part of the thing. Oue of the interest- ing features of their last sunniner pro- gram was a six-day auto trip to Bruce cunyon, a distance of 400 miles, camnp- ing en route, The party number 175, 110 of whom were scouts, the others fathers of scouts und others interested In the wmovement, ! WORK OF BOY SCOUTS. Cincinnatl scouts distributed windew cards in conncction health week campaign. Mayor Barley has issued a proela- mation to the citizens of Denver) ury- ing financial support and genulne co- operation with the local boy scont organization, declaring that boy scouts are “indispensable” to the best inter- ests of every city. The proclamation was issued apropos to the Boy scout week - celebration which Denver re 5.000 with It at night always disappeared before | | comfortably enough, and himself, to take future business to him. From the lawyer’s point of view it means time saved, results accomplished, an intelligent charge to the client, saving of wear and tear on the lawyer and ability to do more business, to make more money and to get and keep more clients. Today the lawyer who is experienced in business matters has the call. Every lawyer should have a business training in and out of college. Ie constantly advises on business policies and frequently becomes the execu- | tive head of great enterprises. It may seriously be argued that the law- yers would better serve the public and themselves if they would abolish the old traditions of the profession and become business men with knowl- edge of ihe law.

An Lnglish dealer who came over from India to England with $10,000 worth of animals aboard a sailing ship had such an experience. 1 An Indian badger was loose for two | weeks and a specimen of the sacred monkey of northern India was out of | its cage for nearly the whole voyage. | Where the badger concealed itself dur- ! ing the day nobody knew, but the meat | and boiled rice that were put out for} Looking For Trouble, The man who goes around with & chip on his shoulder is a man who 8 upt to plck quarrels before they are ripe.—Boston Transeript.
