Rotary Club’s Ladies’ Night Banquet Most Brilliant Affair Annual Ladies’ Night of the Key West Rotary Club at the Casa Marina last night was one of the most brilliant Nights ever given by the Club. The principal addres- was made by William V. Littie, who emphasized the aims of Rotary with an introduction on the be- haviour of Rotarians at the weck- ly luncheons. President Charles Taylor gave the address of welcome. which ‘was responded to by Rotary Ann Mrs. Stephen Douglas. Rev. John Gekeler gave the invocation. On the musical side of the pro- gram, Miss Edith Williams’ liquid voice was heard in a number of . songs. The sweetness learness of her bell-lke voice was inspiring, Mr. and Mrs. George, Mills White, soprano_and tenor, were.heard in an Italian Po gaan anda poptlar song sp Akyala,. accompanied | the | group...

In the “official business” section of the program, the ladies filled out a social “income tax” report which resulted in laughable em- barassment for several Rotarians. A most “serious” proposal ‘oc al- low ladies to join the Key West Rotary Club was introduced but after vigorous debate by both la- dies and gentlemen present the move was voted down.

Murray’s | Story bites! Through the ages the Tight training of Youth has flared up, and died down, in every land, civilized or savage, and obviously Religion has dominated—whether Christian, Hebrew, or what we call Pagan. The churches have varied; some having given con- stant care to Youth, whilst others have done little more than one hour’s Sunday School each week —leaving boys and girls to their own devices, and other influences, good or.bad, for the remaining 167 hours thereof. The Catholic church has always given constant regard to the training of its Youth—even maintaining its own schools for ordinary secular edu- cation. When chivalry was at its best boys began early training as Pages to Knights, and learned then, and later as squires, the splendid Code which governed absolutely the life and conduct of Knights: in passing, “Sir Ni- gel” and “The White Compan: by Conan Doyle, are spi stories for boys, whilst Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” epitomizes in modern way that great Code of life, and the living of it.

M. C. A’s efforts. In the United States there was the remarkable work done by “Old Dan Beard” with his “Sons of Daniel Boone”; that of Ernest Thompson Seton with his “Indians” in the furtherance of which he published his “Birch Bark Roll.” In Great Britain Sir W. A. Smith had organized the “Boys’ Brigade”. When Baden Powell returned to England at the close of the South African War he found, to his astonish- ment, that his book “Aids to Scouting” had been seized and widely used by various men and groups concerned with existing Youth Movements. More—he was approached by some of the lead- ers with an urgent request that he would rewrite “Aids to Scout- ing” as a manual or guide for them. Baden Powell at once gath- ered all books and data he could concerning what had already been done in various countries; being fluent in a good many languages helped him in this. Very naturally he was deeply impressed by the Daniel son Seton, and by the Y. M. C. A’s Committee on Boys’ Work under Edgar M. Robinson. Sefon visited Baden Powell in England and discussed matters, giving him a copy of the “Birch Bark Roll”; Baden Powell came to the United States to discuss matters with Dan Beard, Seton, Robinson, and other leaders. Concerning Scouting as it is—Baden Powell mentions the many sources, old and new, from which he had drawn, saying that even the Codes and Customs of the Red In- dians, Zulus, and Pacific Island- ers, and the Bushido of the Japa- nese had been looked into. Inci- dentally, in 1916 he wrote that at least six» men had claimed to have invented Scouting as it is— and commented that he wished that one of them HAD done so and: saved him the trouble: that itvseemed to him that it did not matter in the least WHO had in- vented Scouting “so long as the boys get the benefit of it” Mr. Murray's history proceeds to tell how the Baden Powell movement reached this country: that Scout Troops on his lines sprang up independently in var- ious parts of the United States. using Baden Powell's and system, but that it remained for a Chicago publisher, Mr. Wm D. Boyce, to transplant it in vital manner, resulting in national ac- tion. Whilst in London, on a very foggy day, Mr. Boyce was lost whilst seeking a place, the address of a business friend.

Wider contacts still were made throughout the country — remarkable efforts were made by the splendid men engaged in the matter—to bring into ONE Nat- ional unit existing movements; under the able chairmanship of Ernest Thompson Seton matters culminated at the close of 1910, when “The Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca” was incorporated, from which time onwards the Movement has marched steadily onwards to its present astonishing and splendid status.

Unhappily practically all Chris- tian denominations have today ceased the Apostolic way of go- ing out to SEEK converts; as said | above, in so many Denominations boys and girls are given about one hour's contacts in each week; in our great cities hordes of chil- dven are untouched by ANY of the churches. Scouting goes right after boys and girls; every Scout is a missionary. More, Scouting grips boys for every hour in ev- ery week—like the soldier—once he joins up he is just as much a Scout when cleaning his teeth in sports or games, doing his school- work, or when fast asleep at day continue their steadfast ef- i forts. Mr. Boyce, through whose action Scouting as it now is was brought to this country, has giv- * en devoted service and financial aid constantly. The Father of Scouting, Robert S. S. Baden ~ Powell, has for long years held the title internationally of Chief Scout of the World.In opposition to the quite mistakén notion held by some people that Scouting is, or can be made, Militaristic, it is deeply interesting that for his work for Boyhood—not for his brilliant service as a great Gen- eral—Baden Powell was elevated to the Peerage of Great Britain, and, whilst great British Generals who are thus elevated take their titles from the scenes of battles or campaigns (Roberts of Kanda- har, Kitchener of Khartoum, etc.), his title is forever associated with Peace and Boy Movements, for he was created NOT Lord Baden Powell of Mafeking but—of Gil- well, the Training Center of Scouting in England.
