GOOLIDGE LEADS INOUTLAWING AR \Carnegie Dircctor Pralses Gea- ¢va Protocol as Peacemaker Atlanta, Dec. 8.—President Cool- idge has taken the lead in the move to outlaw war, was the statement made by Professor James T. Shot- well of Columbia University and di- rector of the Carnegle Endowment for International Peace at this morn- ing's session of the quadrennial | meeting of the Federal Council of |Churches. The meeting was glven up to a discussion of war, Dr. 8hot- well's subject was “How to Outlaw War.” Praising the Geneva protocol as ing a chance to get rid of war and also of oppressive armaments, Dr. Shotwell declared that the suc- cosg of the move to outlaw war de- pends upon the Christian forces of the world. This document has been received in this conntry with all the prejudices of the old party struggle over the League of Nations.

Brown the youngest Eagle Scout in New Britaln and the ninth boy to attain this honor in 14 years, There were 349 men present. F. M. Holmes, president of the local out Council; Walter O. Cook, cout exccutive, and Rev. R, B. Gil- man, pastor of the Stanley Memorial church and chaplain of the White with army sat on the platfor President Walter R. Fletcher: Mr, Gilman made the opening prayer. Mr. Wyland was introduced by President Holmes. Scout Brown of Troop 4, was pre- sented with his cagle scout badge by Mr. Wyland, who explained to the class the difficulties which must be overcome before a boy can attajn this, the highest rank in scouting. Few boys who enter the movement over reach this grade. He is 15 years of age. The eagle badge is won only after passing examinations in 21 subjects, including personal health, public health, campihg, bird study, pioneering, athletics or physi- cal development, and several other required subjects, besides many op- tional ones covering such a varied firld as handicraft, firemanship, ra- dlo, first aid, signalling, civics, schol- arship and others ghosen from a lis of about 60. Some of the necessary material may be found in books, but most of the work involved is n sarily dependent on the scout's own initiative and ingenulty. Scouting From Boys’ Angle In his address Rev, Mr. Wyland | said: “There are some peo| who don't know anything about scouting. They think it is a good thing; they think it is mice for the boy to have an out- | ing, to get out, but they haven't grasped the significance of scouting education, They haven't known |what' we are trying to do for the boys of America and of the world through this great program of edu- cation. he reason for that is that g0 get their impression of scout- many ing from what the boy talks about. | You recognize that the hoy thinks of it as play and fun, the outdoor life, the camping and hiking and fishing and swimming and life saving, the things that appeal to the boy. The boy is the advertiser of scouting and advises it from the boy's standpoint. “To the hoy, scouting is a game, and T assure you we are glad to have it 0. We have not hesitated | he at any time to think of scouting in | terms of making it more and more a game for the boy, to give him things which he likes to do. T ad- mit to you frankly that there is only one reason why a boy should be e scout, and that is because he wants to he. If the time ever comes when the boy is not int:rested in socuting we do not want him to be a scout. “Wa know that our only capital with that bey is the interest we can arouse in his mind and heart in the things we offer him to do. A hoy is more interested in a program of do- ing than of hearing or listening. It is a program of action.

He has to do something “Scouting offera him things to do that he likes to do. We capitalize that interest by giving fim things to do that he to do and are worth while. “The reason many people think of scouting as mere child's play is that the hoy thinks of it as recreation and as an onting and a good time.
