TIIE OREGON STATESMAN' SUNDAY, FEKRUARY 15. 102 0. .. BOYS AND THE BOY SCOUTS (Continued from last Sunday)', The Trial of the Scoot In Deeds "Doing Is learning." That Is the basic principle of scouting. The In structlcn siren rests on that, and in every possible case the lesson is a demonstrated one.. Youngsters are naturally "motorminded." They want to see the wheels go round. That is the way to teach them so that the very first lesson will stick in their minds. In learning scouting this rule is followed, and the boys remember because they have In learning followed the line of their own mental fascination. Pnr th. "Mind alley" occupations. scouting substitutes the light of day and the war ot progress that always has larger things beyond no matter hnw far vrn follow It. The Iloy Scout never fears the coming of a policeman, tie nag m REBUILT USED CARS Remember that when you buy a used car from us you are dealing with a firm that stands behind its used cars.

Learning by doing, he also escapes the other meaning ot those '"blind allev" rrriirtiorm. He does not later go out as a young man to join the army or the unemployed because he has no purpose or desire keen enough to push him on. learning i by doing has been called the "help yourself training. The scoot will be more ant to heln push ethers than to need pushing himself. The Trial of Service In the preceding article we said the climax of scouting -had not yet been told and that it would be taken un in this one. All that has preced ed leads to this. The boy is taught resourcefulness and loyalty and self respect, all of which tend to make him later a success in whatever he undertakes. His business in life when he becomes, a man will reflect these same sturdy characteristics which he has learned in the "motor- minded" war. But he is alio taught another thing that many older men have been benefitted by if they had learn ed it as boys. That thing is service to others. No matter how busy a man may be he can find time for personal service to his neighbors and to the rmhlir interest. That is the moral and rpiritual climax of scoutd . - 1 1 IK a Onod Turn Etery Hay The .- nt U taneht this as he is taught other things by actual prac tice and demonstration. He is taught to do a good turn to some body every .day. That does "not sound so big when you read it quick. But stop a mo- mnt and rhlnV what it means. Not. a day to pass without having done a good turn to somebody. How much richer would life be if every body learned to do that! In the city of Salem 300 boys ara now learning to do a good turn to ohnrtT Trr dav. The number of boys is soon to be doubled when thU rnmnalarn shall make Salem the first citv of its size in woutlng. Of that and how it is to be accomplished we will speak later. Xnt With Ostentation The scouf is taught to do this good turn to somebody every day, but to do it quietly and without os tentation. It is not to be a matter to the boasted of. Yoc don't hear the scout bragging about these good turns that he does. By that principle will he dirrer from some men when later he comes Into the larger activities of man hood. You of course remember the story of how Lincoln described one public individual. He said that the man reminded him of the steamboat on the Mississippi that had a six foot boiler and a ten-foot whistle, mnA every time they blew the whistle tttv had to ton the boat. Perhaps nobody ever beard who the man was that Lincoln described that wav. but avrvhn1v Vnnvi his type. He l.an HtVi ti and always obnox lous. But the scout if trained to do bis good turns without boatsing. AmA WUhrmt Par The scout is taught that this good turn mmi he done without pay. He i. . rinine it far hi own Denem tr. mt tint take . tin of any kind - tn, rinin It. If he should it WOUld not count for his good turn that This does not mean that the scout is trained fo do everything without ramnnriinn On the contrary, he is taught tot do work that will bring a Just and honest return. n i imrM in earn the money that will pay his own way, that will buy his own uniform, that will make him. ..-fa- Ttnaathte. a. self-supporting nnit of society. But that Is busl- no. a tralninc Bevond that comes the doing of he good turn every day to some hnAv That is another thing entire ly. The daily good turn Is his train ing tor service of an altruistic kind that will make him later a good neighbor and a good citizen. H Is Taneht to Remember TTntH tha rout rets thoroughly in th hanit of dalne a rood turn every Aa it im easy for him to forget. He Is only a boy and a very human boy. He makes mistakes Just like other boys. Scouting does not transfer him by taking the boy out of him. It does not make him an angel with both wings sprouting all at once. It trains him to keep the "boy" In him but to direct it and not to De 'steered wrong" by it. Sa h verv Rim Die methods he Is taught to rememiber about that good turn until be gets the habit of doing it firmly fixed. For instance, some scouts are taught that wnen mey g-?i up in the morning they are 10 Knot .v..!- . mrf leave the end flowine loose outside the vest or coat until they have done that daily gooa turn. rkhr are taiirht to out their scout badges on reversed in the mornln l,.r.fn th rfofne of that turn snau ontitio thom to nut it on rieht I T atur '.in t he scout gets the daily turn so firmly fixed in his mind that t.a Ana not need these things. h.ven business men are quite usea to nav- ine "ticklers" to remind themselves of things tnar musi oe uone. scout Is Just human after all.
