BOYS AND THE BOY SCOUTS
(Continued from last Sunday.)
' lEE NEW DAY THAT DAWNS
Autocracr once drank the toast of
"humanity's defeat. The day it
Bought and brought was midnight.
Its dawn was darkness, its meridian
'despair. The world will never see
"Der Tar again.
The world has been made safe for
. boys. The deeds of Herod and those
that have oot-Heroded him- are out
lawed. Safety la just as far as this
generation can secure it has been
obtained. Hut It is not enough. The
boys of today must be trained to
'keep this safety secure at such tre
mendous cost and to increase it for
the coming generations.
The day of the now growing boy
lias dawned. But the boy most be
-prepared as never before tor the
more stupendous problems that will
confront his manhood. America
can do much for these growing boys
but she cannot Isolate them from
the .world of tomorrow. She can
prepare them to meet that day and
yet again and In still larger, ways
.Justify America in the forum of
'mankind. Whether the test of that
'that day shall be military, political,
'economic, or otherwise religious, the
'scouts' motto' of "Be Prepared"
'pells sanity.
American preparation is preven
tion of erll and the Interpreter of
righteousness.
The day of the boy Is the oppor
tunity of intn and women.
The Iay I Here.
The Salem Boy Scout campaign
logins within a very short time. It
Is no longer an Indefinite period.
It -Is now that we of Salem must
do our part.
That the movement Involves in
' telllgent preparation which is the
prevention of evil and the Interpre
ter Of righteousness for America has
Involved the words of endorsement
from America's greatest leaders:
"Anything that is done or given
to Increase the efficiency of the Boy
Scouts of "America Is a 'real contri
bution to the nation' Woodrow
,' Wilson. J
"The Boy Scout movement is dis
tinctly an asset to our country for
' the development of efficiency, viril
ity, and good citizenship." Theo
' dore Roosevelt. -.
Prevention Better Thaw Curt.
You are familiar with the old
adage that "an ounce of prevention
la better than a pound of cure."
Everybody knows that Intellectual
ly, even though we do not person
ally act on it.
Here Is a concrete example In Il
lustration In the following excerpt
from a letter written by a Salem
: pastor: '":
"Some time ago two successful
manufacturers of a nearby city de
cided to Jipond, 112.000 .annually In,
an effort to reclaim . and establish
In useful occupation such, members
- of the army of tramps aa happened
to Tlslt this locality. i .
"For this laudable work they se
cured a" large building, completely
equipped it, and placed a . trained
secretary n charge. After the In--sUtation
had operated successfully
for 'Several months the secretary
made this significant statement:
'This phase at my work that is dif
ferent from HI other rocfal work
fs ' this, .1 am always dealing with
fcuman wrecks.'
"We alt agree that $12,000 would
fcave been more profitably .spent in
. preventing those lives from being
wrecked than in restoring them af
ter wreckage. If every American
community could have the necessary
facilities for looking after the inter
ests of young people In the forma
tive periods of their lives the whole
some character of our future ciu
sens would be assured."
Loral Comparison and Application.
- Then thl earnest pastor In Salem
continues bis letter with this com
, parlson and local application of the
lesson elsewhere observed:
"If our city,' through the Boy
Scout movement will Invest the ne
cessary money In maintaining a, work
that is recognized and endorsed by
all religious denominations and
other social and economic bodies,
we will start our boys properly in
a coarse that will be for the best in
terests of the boys of today and
the men of tomorrow.
"The-reason that the Boy Scouts
la the largest boys' club in the world
Ms because It offers most to the boy
along the line of his' boyish inter-
eats. i -
"Every church should have one
i - or more scout troops among the or
i . gantzattons within' the church. Dur-i-
Ing the years! of my ministry I havs
found no boqrat- organization that
compared wtfV the Boy 8cout pro
gram for the" fine response secured
from the boys and for the real good
done to the boys in the work.
The president of the; United
States has titd that 'anything that
Is done or given to increase the ef
ficiency of the Boy Scouts of Ameri
ca Is a real contribution to the na
tion.' !
"It is my earnest hope that the
next year of our scout work in the
First Presbyterian church will see
absolutely every eligible boy en
rolled in one of the thurch troops."
A Typical Comment.
This splendid letter is only typi
cal of the comment of i.rosrressiv
pastors everywhere who are fa mil-I1"
iar with the Hoy Scout laoverr.nt.
It is endorsed by church leaders all
over the land.C
It is the conservative movement
for the churches by which they lay
hold upon their own boys and keep
them, not by any compulsion, but by
their own fascinations. Most of the
troops of Boy Scout now orsantr.ed
in Salem are within church organi
zations. Yet the leaders everywhere
who are doing really wonderful
things for boys tht-msc 1y-r. hav
een the wisdom of organizing a
troop of scouts There Is no limit
to its scope or its benefits.

Fireproof Room JViH Be
Feature of Waller Hall
Waller Hall, the Willamette build
ing that was damaged by fire last
winter, is being repaired as speedily
as possible. This was the oldest
building on the Willamette campus
and was in need of an over-hauling
before the fire. Tbe commitee in
charge of its rebuilding has taken
the opportunity V make many im
provements in Interior arrangement
and to make a few additions. It Is
to be practically a new building when
the repairs are completed and it is
ready for use.
Among the major changes are
those to be made on the second floor.
This floor will be occupied almost
entirely by the college library which
will thus be greatly enlarged. A fea
ture of the library will be a small
fireproof room lor the preservation
of important books and documents
which the recent fire demonstrated
to Be advisable. This will contain the
sacred rolls of various societies
among other college records and
relics. . :
It . Is estimated that the cost In
volved In the repairing and rebuild
ing Of Waller hall will amount to
between $25,000 and $30,000. It Is
expected the building will be ready
for occupancy by June. Tbe plana
are to have It ready for use at commencement.

Turning a somersault on skis is almost as aa easy running 100 Yards
In nine and three-Hflh seconds. But it. can be done, and Is done, by a
number of Dartmouth students at Hanover, N. II., at the college's annual
winter sports carnival. Gymaasium instructors teach this flop in the fall
of the year, the collegians, leaping from a balcony to the floor and land
ing on a heavy cotton matting. By the time the winter carnival comes
around a number of men are able to perform this dangerous feat. The
photograph shows Richard Bowler "looping the loop"' on skis. at Hanover.

THOUGHTS and THINGS
The business of living, when hoiled down to its clearest essence and all the froth
skimmed off, is just a matter of thinking.
Each of us is continually thinking ideas of our own and swapping them for the ideas
of others. If there is a famine of outside ideas we shrivel up ourselves. Children with
"nobody to play with" are unhappy and unmanageable.
From thinking with our heads to doing with our hands is but a little step and then our
thoughts become things.
It is because men of America are so unfettered in their thinking and doing that this
country is such a fine place to live in. It is also because these thoughts are freely ra
diated and spread broadcast, in the distribution of manufactured things and in the
distribution of the facts about them (advertising), that this country is such a fine place
to live in.
The originator of an idea is not much better off than before he originated it till he
gets some one else to absorb it and enjoy it and benefit by it
The man or woman surrounded by better thoughts and things bat who pays not the
slightest attention to them is not much better off than the one with "nobody to play
The advertisements in the papers are thoughts-telling you about the idea that other
men and women have thought out for your happiness. Read the ads. They are the
voices from hundreds of thousands of looms, sfcops, foundries, studios, laboratories,
where millions of minds are turning pleasant thoughts into worth while things for
