in In their nineteen years tho American Boy Scouts' have
had an enrollment of more than three million. - Scouting is
now established in almost every city, village and hamlet in
the United States, the present total of active boys and leaders
being nearly a million. There are still more than eight million
American boys; outsida the ranks.'-. ' . ;,,' ; .;. ,, ',; ' !.. ,',
There is no better way to observe this day than by, in
creasing tho membership of , this organization which , has
come to occupy a place in the social order that could not well
go unoccupied. Ami the parents of American boys should be
the only recruiting officers needed to keep the enrollment
at full strength. i,
- WE'RE NOT TUB ONLY ONE
' , Every young American grows up through Childhood film
in the belief that in no other country on earth are living con
nitions half lis favorable as they are in the United States.
Most of us, no doubt, reached manhood pretty well convinced
that our civilization is the best there is. )
Maybe it in. Still, it doesn't do any harm to admit that
there are other countries that have nnide a good bit of prog
ress, too. Indeed, if we could learn that there are places.that
have gone even farther than we have it might jar a little
of the complacence out of us. I '
a A report from tho V. S. department of commerce is at
. hand, with a long article describing conditions in a certain
European country. Listen to the description, and see if our
proud boast of superiority doesn't fall a trifle flat, '
In this European country, the report begins, progress
and initiative are so established that the country with a
population of less than 3,0(10.000 has the world's fourth larg
est merchant shipping fleet, has developed its water-power
resources so skillfully that its people use five times as much
electricity as any other people in Europe, and has connected
every village and hamlet in the country by telephone mid
telegraph. .......
More than 10 per cent of the country's farms use electric
ity for light or power puiH)ses. Fully 95 per cent of tho
farmers, who number a third of the country's population,
own their own farina. Educational standards art extremely
high; illiteracy is almost unknown, and in no country on
earth are newspapers and magazines so widely read. Then a
final remark: "The country has virtually eradicated poverty.
On the other hand, there is no great wealth." All of that
sounds pretty attractive. For all our pride we cannot equal all
of those records. '
i'. What country is it? Norway nation we too often dis
miss as backward. The department of commerce's renort
would indicate that Norway has one of the most progressive,
advanced civilizations m the world.
