A GREAT “ MUSTARD ” SEED.
. “ The original grain of seed which produced the Scout, .movement developed a twin plant in that of the Girl ■Guides, and, as in the case of brothers and sisters, the girl has grown fastei than the boy, so that where the Boy Scouts in Great Britain to-day number 340,000, the Girl Guides number 430,000,” writes Sir R. Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout, in the “Sunday Express.” “ Taking the average ‘ lif« ’ of a Scout or a/.Guide at five years, there must by now be some millions in our population who have been through the training, and thus form a' considerable leaven in;the nation of characters trained to •good citizenship. Thus the grain .<>t; mustard seed has indeed grown up in the twenty years of its existence to become a great tree.”
