HIS is Boy Scout Week. You know something about the Boy Scout movement. Everybody does. . You know the Boy Scouts were a busy lot of youngsfere during the war. Maybe you.do not know that they sold, more than $300,000,000 of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes and $50,000,000 of War Savings Stamps. Maybe you do not know that they helped Unele Sam locate 5,200 catloads of walnut wood needed to make rifle stocks and got together more tHan # hundred carloads of the fruit pits that were used to make gas ‘maske—not to speak of the 30,000,000 pieces of Government literature they distributed, the hundreds of thousands of war gardens and farms they cultivated and the cartloads af books they collected for the Library Associations to send to the soldiers. Good work, wasn’t it? Enough to entitle the Boy Scouts to the country’s gratitude even if they had done nothing else and meant nothing else. But do you realize that what these Boy Scouts did to help win the war is nothing to what the Boy Scout movement can go on doing for the Nation through coming months and years of peace? i Do you realize that Reconstruction, looking ahead to a strong American manhood and sound American citizenship, has no bigger ‘smeet than these same Boy Scouts? " You’ve seen companies of them in the Scout khaki out on their hikes, You've hed a sense of satisfaction in the sturdy legs, healthy skins and clear eyes. Maybe, if you've thought a little about it, you’ve found ideas forming in your mind of what such boy scouting in the open—under leadership which, through processes better than direct teaching, is constantly developing manliness, honesty, courage and courtesy— might mean if it could be extended toa whole generation of American youngsters. ’ You've thought of the gain in more sound bodies, clean minds, good citizens. You've thought how many fewer drankards and drugs vietims there might be; what possible reductions in the numbers of ‘street tar rowdies, gangéters'and criminals in a big city like New York; what opportunities for turning foreign-born youth into early Monday, EDITORIAL PAGE June 9, Well, here’s your chance to help in just such an extension Jead- ‘ing to just such results. : The total number of Boy Scouts in the United States is now something under 400,000. There sre 10,000,000 American boys between the ages of twelve and twenty-one, All of them might be and ought to be Boy Scouts. . _ If you have passed the Boy Scout age, by paying $1—or more if you like—you can become one of 1,000,000 Associate Members of the National Council of the Boy Seoute of America. Whatever you pay—yout one dollar or your one thousand dollars —will go to help the organization extend its work and enroll more " scouts. v Your money will help increase the number of boys in the United States who are being trained to be strong-limbed, clear-headed, right- em-the-spot young Americans whether for peace or war; who are pledged to be kind to. the weak, considerate and courteous to their elders, ready to do a service where they can; who will help in clean-up and héalth crusades, search for lost children, act as special mewengers in time of peril om calamity; who can render first aid to ‘the injured and whose aim is to be at all times and under all cireum- stances truthful, dependable, cool-headed and efficient. “Every Nation,” President Wilson has said, “depends for its futare upon the proper training arid development of its youth.

The Lodestone of Purpose 'N order successfully to compete with economic conditions as they exist in the business world to- ay, it is necessary to have in mind & specific purpose. A purpose that is definite and specific, ir no sense vague and rambfing, bas in it Itself accumulative power. It ia like a lodestone that gathers substances of its own kind .of attraction, without much ado about it, But this purpose must be more than a definite one; it should also stand behind a pro- jected life work, a work bone can better do and would rather do than anything else under the vocational sun. All lodestone energy is willing to carry its load, but not any kind of a load nor all kinds of loads. There is no omnibus disposition about the right kind of purpose; it je one that moves toward one's natural vocation, toward the kind of work one is hest fitted by nature to de, As an illustration, suppose that vo- cation (8 Certified Public Accourt- ancy.
