BOYS AND THE BOY SCOUTS
Continued from Last Sunday)
.that the Boy Scout movement Is
tfcjolutely non-sectarian is shown by
tot action of Hon. William O. Mc
Adoo, executive .chairman of the na
tional campaign when he sent a let
ter to one hundred and. ten thousand
churches, cathedrals and synogoges
tBd their congregations to be deilr
and rabbis. The letter called atten
tion to the proclamation by the Pres
ident of the United States which
urged all American citizens to sup
port the Coy Scouts of America in
the campaign.
Another Local Proof.

Father Linden's Letter.

tion of the Boy Scout movement from
th.CathoIIc, standpoint. Father Lin-
aen baa addressed , a letter- to t he
average. - fatter .ptian average boy,
which, we gladly insert in full:

, Then Father Linden continues by
telling this average father of the av
erage boy some conclusions that have
been reached by the clergy in their
study of the boy problem and what
though he might feel them iruide
Some people who are not actlvly
engaged In the ordinary pursuits of
life spend a great deal of their own
and other people's time imposing
upon their fellow beings fads and
fancies of their idle brains. Like
mushrooms, these fads and fancies
are born in the morning of light and
die in the night of darkness because
they lack the substance of Intelli
gence and the foundation of sinceri
ty. Somewhat, and perhaps largely
because of our painfnl experience
with such people, a good many other
people are now prono to discredit al
bost any movement born of the
brains of sincere men whoe sole
purpose Is the phyclcal u:.d moral
progress of the human race.

they have done aboot It. What -be

we of th clerxy LaV rMJlLfd
what thla boy problem mean a. I have
had thouaanda of boyi under say Im

teen yeara and have learned throagb
the school experience that the bor
problem Is more dltfleult from the
standpoint of the average ed oca tor
than any problem of the modern
times.
"After thoroughly disensainr the
subject, we. the clerfy. found a so
lution b yoffetint; the Knlshts of Co-
lumbns the proposition of taking rare
of the boys by organising Doy Scout
troops; .The Knights Immediately
took cognizance of the project and
are now the first In our country to
organise our boys under the direct
supervision of capable and efficient
men.
"Realising that scouting teaches
the boy his relations toward God. hia
country, his fellow men. and himself.
the four essential and cardinal prin
ciples necessary to make men out of
boys, we, the clergy, are now assured
of the progress and advancement of
oar boys along moral and physical
lines.
"Scouting Is not a fad. Scouting
is bullded on the foundations of sin
cerity and of Interest in our Ameri
can boys. The scouting !aue Is a
help to any Issue of religion and gov
ernment and must be solved by the
men of today. The retrogression, of
the American boy In his moral and

take place. Is due to the fact that
most of us do not understand the

means to counteract the evil Influ

Scoutin must and will solve this

will understand himself through In

"Boys ought to be men. but bow
many of us have given the average
bor a chance to become a man?"
After this strong presentation of
the scout movement from his own
standpoint as a clergyman and the
evidence that he Is speaking for the
other Catholic clergymen by the ac
tion they have together taken. Fath
er Linden concludes by again taking
the boy'a angle of It. as follows:
"Say. Dad. what are you gotng to
do for your boy? You are now a man
through long year of sad experience
with the world and after many years.
Do you want your boy to be a man
after he Is fifty years of age and only
then? Don't you think you can help
your boy become a real man by the
time he is twenty? Won't you help

man at the earliest and best moment
