BOY SCOUTS.
TRIBUTE TO THE MOVEMENT. AN ADJUNCT! TO EDUCATION. The following tribute to the value of the Boy Scout movement is from the New York Times;: — “Our system of education, though imparting splendid learning, does not deter crime. Let us gd over the records of our tens of thousands of crimintijs. It is not among them that we wilj find well qualified boy or girl scouts. * The Scouts are good citizens. In fact, they are pledged td help other people at all times, and this virtue i§ turned into a habit. They are trained to keep themselves physically fit, mentally awake, and morally straight. The function of our educa.tional system is ' mainly to import knowledge. The aim of scouting is only to build sdund individual characters for the service of society. By obtaining the two aims we may attain the ideal education and form the ideal citizens. One Way of bringing scouting to the greatest possible number of children would be td make it part of our public school curriculum.”
