YOUTHS IN TURKEY ARE A BAD LOT But They Don’t Know Any Better, Hartford Minister Tells Boy Scouts. At the service of the Methodist church last evening Rev. R. W. Bar- stow, pastor of the South church of Hartford, addressed a large assem- blage of Boy Scouts, speaking to them on conditions that confront the small boy in Turkey in contrast to condi- tions in' America. Rev. Mr. Barstow ! spent several years in the interior of Turkey as a teacher in the American school there. The service was primarily a Boy Scout demonstration. About 100 boys were present in uniform and several of them took positions on the stage | where they outlined the ideals of the | scout movement and gave practical ldemonstrauons of first aid work, sig- ! nalling and making fires without i matches, by the friction method. Rev. E. T. Thienes, scoutmaster, told of the development of the Boy Scout { movement and outlined the plan to ’ have a Boy Scout leader in New Brit- ain who shall devote his entire time | to the boys. This will cost about 1$2,000 and so interested are the boys ) that they have pledged themselves to jearn the first $100 for this sum. In explaining how far he was from home.- Rev. Mr. Barstow told the boys it was about 3.000 miles to London and from there to Constan- . tinople was about 3,000 miles more. After arriving at this city the speaker told the boys he had to travel nine- offers most nusual Val Your, pPOF et (0 i *Sho GOODS IN THIS SALE WILL COST DOUBLE THIS PRICE LATER AINON, BOOTHS BLOCM BRI TANS teen days in a rough cart before he | reached his destination. The Turk- ish boys are bad, the speaker said, be- cause they don’t know any better. They have never been taught. They abhor work because they consider it a disgrace. They are no respecters of property because they have never been taught differently and their code is that anything they can lay their hands on is their legitimate property. The principles of the Boy Scouts would be an ideal thing for the’ Turkish boys to know, Rev. Mr. Barstow said. In conclusion the Hartford minister advised his young congregatior: that if they are to make a success of life they must early put their eyes and aims on some definite object and then strive towards it. et e e e TO GIVE PLA", St. Joseph’s Sodality to Entertain This Evening.
