and a p'ece or flint.
But he has also been taught to'
take care of a fire, not merely to
keep It going, bnt to keep it from
going too far. He knows the danger
of forest fires and he knows how
to kindle a blaze that will not sores d.
And when he Is through with It, th
scout puts U out.
in Case of Accident
A scout dees not run away or fell
wildly, for help in case an accident
occurs. IT a person has been cut.
he knows haw to. stop the blood and
how to gently and carefully bind up
the wound. If a person has been
burned, be knows how to allevtatt
the suffering. If anyone is dragged
from the; water unconscious, he
knows how to set to work at once
to restore respiration and clrcula

that time is precious. And he does

"He keeps a close guard, on his
tongue, for e knows that loud
speech is 'often a cloak of ignorance,
that swearlnarls a ntgn of -weakness,
and that untruthfulness shatters the
confidence of others." f Handbook
Introductorr. nass 11.)
: In Time of Danger
A scout IS : trained , not to flinch
If danger -comes unannounced. He
is taught, even as a. soldier is taupht.
that his own safety and that of oth
ers in a moment Of danger depend
on every faculty . being alert. His
mind is Instantly In control of his
body. He has been taught the proo
er cooperative action of both. HI
knees do not .shake unless he can
accomplish something by shaking
them. He his been taught what to
do in case of fire, panic, or ship
wreck. But he has been taught to
never seek his own safety first if
there are helpless or weak people
at hand who are absolutely depend
ent on the thought and action of
others.
The Boys' Fraternity
. It has been shown that the oath
Is no "scrap of paper" to a scout.
Ho takes it slowly and solemnly af
ter having f.tndled it. It Is therefore
only the natural result that scouts
have the advantages and pleasure?
of the fraternity of their equals who
are hound by the same , oath. ' A
friendly welcome la assured wher
ever there Is another scout. They
can communicate .with each other
without making a svund or they can
talk by Imitating a telegraph kep
without words that are spoken.
The Spirit of Hanaan Klndaeiw
Not yet, however, do you know
the whole of what It means to be a
member of the Boy Scouts of Ameri
ca. In fact, no articles and no books
can; put you wise to it. The boy
wlio.goes into ft will tell you that
"the half has never yet been told."
Bnt one cf the big things of which
ou mar have last an inkUng is
this: The Boy Beont is trained to
kindness. Kot only mtast he be
thoughtful for others, as we have
just now shown In case of danger
but his thcnghtfulness extends mercy
to dnmb animals. He has learned
more about them than most folk
know. He has also learned that
knowledge Is to be used in order to
make It practical.
- The scout "knows that horses.
dors and cats have their rights and
he respect them" (Handbook. Intro
ductory. pae 11). This one fact
alone proves the character reflected.
which shows the developing power
of scout menVbership in making the
men of tomorrow.
Nor yet liave we reached the cli
max of scout Instruction, nut as
space Is limited we will tell you of
that In the next article.
