BOY 8COUTS HELP TO DIRECT TRAFFIC Praving Valuable ta Police — Patrol Leaders School Increases in Mem- bership—Rehearse For Play. Profiting by the expericnce and in- struction they received from members of -the traffic squad of the local police department during the recent safety first week, members of troop 14, Boy Scouts, meeting at the Stanley school, have been doing traffic duty on thp street during the tima of school dis- missals. This troop was oited for honorable mention in the national boy scout golumn conducted by the New York Times in its edition last Sun- day. The boys, when they come out of school, take their stations much the same as a regular trafic policeman and direct traffic both vehicular and pedesirian until the school children have crossed the street in safety. While the boys are not invested with palice power, these movements us- ually have the endorsements of police boards wherever they do this kind of work: Since boys have started doing traf- fic duty the police department has placed a regular policeman at this point during the dismissal of the morning session but the scouts are deing 1t unassisted in the afternoon. The second session of the schaol for patrol leaders was held yesterday af- ternoon at the chapel of the 'South church. The enrollment has increased from twenty-five to thirty-two this weel, making two more treops represented in tha school. The fact that the school js entirely voluntary on'tha part ot the scouts and that attendapce is increasing rather than decreasing wotild indicate that the pregram as tausht is one of real vital interest to tha hoy. Membpers of the . patrol' leaders school who havg parts in the coming scoyt play held g Tehearsal at South church last evening in preparation for the coming event.
