He was a true masoi which is the same thing as saying he was a too;! citizen loval to hi e;rv obligation.

He did do jus tice he did love mercy, and he did 'walk humbly with his God.

Franklin, and any. one who knows anything at all about boys can readily see the great importance of turning the energies of these lads into the proper channels. A man is a bundle of habits. He has worn his groove and one can usually tell what his behavior will be under most any circumstances. If he has acquired the proper , habits his behavior will be-good: if not his behavior will be bad. But a boy is in the making. He is a bundle of animal instincts and .impulses with the capacity for heroic, virtues providing these instincts and impulses are directed into the proper channel and providing he has the proper environment. It is the busi ness of Scoutcraft to direct these in stincts arid impulses and to help the bay make the proper environment. Some one has said that one can never tell just what a' boy will do. We think we know boys and understand them but there are always, "Ifs and Buts. Our knowledge of boys has been likened to the lady's boast of bting able to' always tell fresh eggs from older ones. The old lady went to get some fresh eggs and told the clerk he need not try to fool her; for she could tell in a minute what was what. The clerk asked her how she did it, and she replied. "Well you take the eggs and put them into water either hot or cold, I don't just recol lect which, and the good ones will rithpr sink or swim I don't recall which, but you can't fool me on eggs." , So it is ever certain just what a boy wilt do. but we can be sure he will respond to his training and to his ' environment. A boy, whatever his parentage if he lives long enough in the slumsv of New York will soon j learn and acquire the slang and the' actions of the street and, will be on a fair road to become a thug. But a good community " does not want its boys to become thugs or ) something worse because it realizes that' the boys of today will be . the citizens of tomorrow. The mayor,; the banker, the. editor, the merchant,1 the minister, the members of the Pro-, gressive dub all must be chosen from the boys who play around the streets today. How Important it is to the whole community, that these futur-j mayors, and bankers, etc., should have the very best environment and should have sll the privileges conducive to mental, moral, and physical growth. In other words our boys should not' be denied anything that will help to develop 'character. Character development is the real objective of the Boy Scout movement. Every ittep in the program is but a means to this end, and this character development manifests itself in health, eft'iciency, chivalry, loyalty, patriotism and good citizenship. The scout oath and the scout law embody all this. At every scout meeting the boys give the sign and repeat the following oath: "On my honor I will do my best : to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law; to nelp other people at all times ; to keep my self physically strong, mentally awake and . morally v straight."- Then the scout law is. given,. "A scout is trust worthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,' cour teous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." The be ginning and -end of the scout move ment is duty to God, country, others and to himself.. The scout movement gives the. opportunity to develop in the' growing boy those qualities of character which make for moral and spiritual worth, and after all, charact er is the foundation of socitey. There An be no government or business on any other basis, than onr fiath in the honor and integrity of ourselves and our fellowmen. This character de velopment is achieved in scouting by the repetition and practice of manly virtues, and by the contact of life with life, the intinfate association of boys with boys all, striving for the same end, and of boys with men, scoutmaster and assistant scoutmast ers who are trying to be on their mark and to set up in. the boys mind a picture of what it means to be a real, redblooded man who can stand ready to face every responsibility in life, and who will give full , emphasis to right moral anA.socjal relations by ar. Example that is above reproach. What a tremendous responsibility for every man in the community. Scouting gives the . boy something to do. ,A bov J$" much mor,e interested in doing good', than ha, .is in being good. The scout motto is, "Be pre pared," i. e. be prepared to render aid undtr any and all circumstances to mankind and to beast, to help in any kind of emergency; to help the police and fire departments, the for est fire fighters, the Red Cress, and to serve in the home, church and com munity Everything in :he program of touting from tying lvs tenderfoot knots to passing! the seventy-third merit badge, test increases his person al efficiency for community service. Besides trje motto. "Be : orepared," there is the scout habit, "Do a good turn everv day," and this means that a bov will go out of his way to do z. service for someone who docs not expect it and has no right to demand it.' We can sec what a tremendous in-1 Huence for good the scout giovement exerts in the world when we think i that there arc millions of boys trying! in every way they can to live up to the scout oath, the 'law. the motto and the habit. Think of fifty boys in our own community who every day wtil pertorm a service for some ptic. Think what if will mean for a scout patrol or troop to take it upon themselves to distribute Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to the poor and sick, to aid in every campaign fo" the uplift of humanity, to help clean up a town, to serve as ushers at public gatherings, etc. So far we have stressed the work ing side of scouting; for many people think that the whole movement is simply, tf) direct boys play, to give them outings, etc. The whole method of the Boy Scout movement is a game delineiateiy planned to give a boy an interesting program. In other words real work is made easy through play. A boy may be made go to school and do a certain amount of studying, but a scout i? a scout because he wants to be one. He comes to the meetings where he knows there will be some drill and other work s:mply because he wanls to come. Of (jourse there are swimming trips, hikes', cumping trips etc., but all these ire merely part of scouts educat op ; for he leawis hew to do cert i n things on ovc! one of these tripi, urh as first i'u f'c, from which he derives per manent benefits. He !e?.-ns the value of brotherhood and friendship, he learns to think quickly and clearly, he learns presence of mind, he learns self control, he learns many of na ture's secrets, and he learns how to become closer to his Maker. In ad dition to this he receives military training under a competent instructor, and has the . value of a .'my 'methods c!:scipline. The Boy Scout movement does not romps te with the church, but H does co-operate with it. It :s not a mce menl for one religion or one denom ination but for all religions and all denominations. The. Roman Catholic , the Jew, the Protestant can all belong to the same troqn without any fc;r o losing ciif: bit pf his respe re ligious teaching; for he Scout consti tution -emphatically forbids any re ligious preference being used to for ward the status, of 'the troop. , Now" we have trjed to tell you some of the benefits of 3 community having a troop of Boy-Scouts, what it will do for the community and for the boy. ' Will you ' help the Franklin Troop of Boy Scouts ? ; The boys are all interested, enthusiastic, and eager to do their part, but they must have help. Here is the kind of help we need. First every man and older boy in the community to be exceedingly careful of their conversation and actions when there are younger boys around, i. e. do everything in your power to set a good example by refraining from ev erything a scout would not do. Sec ondly, the co-operation of parents in seeing that their boys get to the meeting on time and 'that they have an opportunity to take part in the scout activities. Thirdly, we need money to pay our room rent, to build a cabin of our own, and to get Boy Scout suits. WILL YOU HELP US? BEAUTY COMfORT CONVENIENCE UTIHTYj tf ' 3-?
