Boy Scout
(Continued from Page 1)

Specially for men who supervise Boy Scout Troops, will enable the scouters to be really helpful to the Scouts under their supervision and to promote the ideals of scouting among the boys.

"It is most fitting that a great university should develop this type of a training program," Mr. Harris said. "Columbia University in New York and Peabody College at Nashville, many years ago, led off in this field of education. Scouting is a program of activities most interesting to all boys. Its methods are educationally sound and the latest. Learning by doing is the scout way. It trains boys to be helpful to other people. The very foundation of this helpful program is the Scout Oath and Law. Every boy joining the organization takes the following pledge: the Scout Oath:

On my honor I will do my best-
1 To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law
2 To help other people at all times;
3 To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight."

"It is remarkable how well Scouts live up to their Oath," said Mr. Harris, "and it is my opinion that every public school should sponsor a Boy Scout Troop in cooperation with the Parent-Teachers' Organization."

"Not only is Scouting splendidly adapted to the school but it is of equal value to the church. Indeed nineteen of the largest religious denominations in America have endorsed the Scout Program for use in their Church schools. They bring that Scouting helps the Church to hold its own boys. It helps the Church to attract the non-church going boys and most important, perhaps, it helps the Church train its boys for leadership tomorrow."
