Leaders of Boys

ALLIES SMASHING THROUGH STRONG GERMAN DEFENSE LINES

saruica service to trio nanon. s.uj'j.vu hoys need this leadership all over thcountry. Men not eligible for army or navy, here is your oh.ir.ce. Hoe.n: Scoutmasters, Voy Scouts of America. Boy Leader Must He Developed.

But there Is still a greater reason j Tor organising th'.s Importtnt work at j this tlm. Tlie entir e boyhood of this j nation should be given the advantages of the Boy Scout Program at any cost, j Our obligation to the boyhood of Amer- I ica is greater now that we are n: w ar j than ever before. No nation can afford to neglect its boys even in times i of war. j England and France have learned j

this bitter lesson because of the tremendous increase in Juvenile delinquency since this war started. If thAuthority of the home i. broken d'wn because the father and the big brother go into service, the increased tr:n platoons to boyhood through the romance and glamour of war must be offset by the helpful leadership and activities that the Scont movement can provide. Of course it Is essentital to wit. this war, but let us not forget how essential H Is that the boyhood of this ration bs so conserved that when th'.s war is over we may have a trained young manhood to give leadership to the destinies of this nation. If this war is to make the world safe for democracy, let us make democracy cn assured fact by hantiin? it over to the next generation who have based their citizenship and life ideals upon the Boy Scout Program. To Fnthri Th long: foreboding days are over. The desperate ransoming years of war have com? again to a feneration that rover thought to sea them! Our young men are going and have gone. We others of the meridian and the sunset

years must watch from the sidelines the gams of life and death, of fame, find shame that Is heirs: flayed for the championship of a world. With clenched hands w can plead with our team to hold, and hold, and hold at the Maine. We can ehout as they hatter through the center at a fomme. We can cheer in tha ecstacy of a sudden Kain around the end at Vimy Ridge. From the ridelines wo can help and hearten and advise and sive, all that can be bought for money or wrought for love or thought by e.xpsrie.m-a but WE CAN'T GET IX OURSELVES. What is left for us stay-at-homes to do? There are many things. We. can pay our taxes without grrumblinpr f or we receive them back many fold In the freedom of our land, the honor of our women and the securities of our famines. We can lend the government our saving-s and without any undue boastfulness for we still own them plus profits and interest. Yet never, never, shall we save a world or our own souls by paylnar taxes or lending- loans. Only giving, giving, givlnsr, may we who must stay by the stuff ransom ou rsel ves. There are many to whom we should give. There are some to whom we r.-.ust give. The years havi mustered us out of active service. Our young mn may be beaten back. They may be forespent asrainst those who are in l-asue with Death and Hell. Remain "J 1

our boys. They can do what we have dreamed. They can succeed where we have failed, press forward where we have faltered back, and carry on and on, and 0:1 the torch that is ft 11 mi k from our hands. Oir purposes thev .shall bear up on the wingj of eagles with our hopes ipring forward like young bens at dawn. What shall we do for them'.' The great forthteller of our ration, the prophet of our people, said over a half century ago. and the words ring down the years to ui, -V shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope vf the world!" Within our gates is being wrought a great work Eight hundred thousanJ of our boys have been trained to be Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent" and have taken the Scout oaten. To do their duty to God and their c.itry; to obey the Scout law ;to he! pothers at all times and to keep themselves, physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. This is written to you who are fathers, because you have known the Joy and the hope end the promise of fatherhood. This written t.i you who are not. that with your money you may buy a hoy who ran make your dreams come true. .-v : -..k-- and tomorrow and tomorrow when you give, forget not to give the H.v Sooimh for our bo".s -THE LAST BEST HOPE OF THE WORLD.
