Lees m Nordlinge: TNicker, Bernard are e J",urteen of the 32 American college men recently winning Rhod scholar- ships, which entitle winners to three vears at Oxford University, England, have been Boy Scouts. The part that scouting can be credited with in fur- thering Cecil Rhodes’ plan for broad- | ening the understanding between the United States and England is shown in a questionnaire filled out by 27 of the scholars-elect. The questionnaire was sent to the men by the national Scout office. Fifteen of the boys earned part of thelr way through high school, 14 part of their way through coliege. Three earned all their high school expenses and eight all of their college tuition and fees. Only nine, as high school boys, did not contribute to thejr expenses, and only five, as college men, did not work to meet any of their financial necessities. To the question, “What have you done to keep vourself in good physical “condition?” 26 of the 27 responses detalled active and persistent partici- uniform. sta-|of such points wins him a _medal in | | with the next meet. | Buckeye Braves and Hoosier Hornets John Fisher, | in Baltimore. lite | prove that the slogan, | week {tory compensated for a defeat a few COUTS: || Value of out-| grouped generally as: plies); development of high standards | and ideals (seven); comradeship with | other boys under right conditions (four); practical knowledge through tests (five). Out of the thirteen Rhodes scholars who had no contact with scouting as boys, four express regret for their inability to join because of no troop. A fifth pays high tribute to scout- ing, and a sixth is now in the move- ment as an assistant scoutmaster. The positions of leadership held by all, except two, are significant points in the development attalned. These positions fall under the general classification of captain or manager of foor ball teams, captain of military company. leader in student bodies, | editor of college publications. presi-| dent of debating socleties, fraternity | officer, soclal worker, winner of scho- | lastic distinction.

Factors in individual cases that have contributed most to clear think- ing and decision as to what life work to choose, are summed up as follows Thireen, stated studies and reading: | five, the influence of father's life and’ profession; one, the influence of men assoclated with scouting; one, the influence of association. “The final question: “In the light of | vour own experfence as a method of © wchieving success, what recommenda- | tion do you make to the bovs who ire ambitious to make good?" received | | 4 variety of replies, among them lhe; following “Have a clearly defined objective.

They have also adopted a definite and uniform standard for grading contri | butions and granting points. There |is also the official magazine, Bovs' | Life, and the newspapers and maga- Zzines. Points may be won for con | tributing to all of these. Every Lone Scout is privileged to contribute stories. articles, news, orig- | inal drawings. illustrations, cartoons, etc., to the ALSAPS, Boys' Life, etc For this the Lone Scout may win honor and fame in Lone Scoutdom Each article published is graded ac cording to its merits, and the writer is awarded a certain number of points | The earning of 300 | by the editor.

The second (silver) medal, brings the title “Lone Scout Seribe” and initials LSS, and | 300 points come the gold medal. the title Lone Scout Grad- uate with the initlals LSG is awarded. The winner of this title and medal is honored throughout Scoutdom. Now, there is another title and medal—the highest literary honor a Scout can at- tain. In over half a million bovs who | have been enrolled in the LSA only about 50 have earned It. Four hundred contributing points are required. This honor is the Lone Scout Quill. The Lone Scout Quiller uses the initials LSQ and wears the most a‘tractive of all Lone Scout emblems—The Gold Quill Last, buf emphatically not least, is the highest title which a Lone Scout may win—even greater than the Quill. This is won by a Scout who has won the Quill, the LSD—meaning the pass- ing of all the degree tests, and the title of LSB—the booster title. This Scout is known as a “Supreme Scout'’ and signs the initials SS after Ris name. A Supreme Scout has reached the top of the LS ladder. There are a number of organiza- tions which are actively boosting the LSA now. The Peppy Keystoners, | are the most notable of these.
