The Origin of Scouting

All normal, healthy boys have an urge for advenure, son;_llzing that calls for a test of skill against skill, wits against wits, strength against strength; something in- volving the hardy loan-proving ro- mance of exploring and pioneering. It was the spontaneous response oi Englsh boys to such play ad- venture, set forth on a book oi field icouting for young soldiers, written by a young army officer, Colonel Robert Baden-Powell, some before the South African war, and i "ken up by educationists, that gave ie Boy Scout Movement its birth. To the boys it was the play-ad- venture that appealed; to the edu- cntionlsts it was the unique effec- tiveness of the character training involved.

lst Charlottetown Troop

The 1st Charlottetown Troop is now open for more boys. We have reorganized and formed a Demon- strat on Patrol of senior Scouts which allows for about ten more boys between twelve and sixteen years of age in the other Patrols. Arrangements are under way for summer camps and Patrol-Hikes. Old Scouts and past members of the Troop are invited to s. reunion meeting Monday, January 17th, 7.00 p. m. to consider our Annual Play.

t The Plan in Scouting

Colonel Baden-Powells plan, de- parting from cut-and-drled stand- ards, was aimed to develop four things, vlz: character lnY the indi- U vidual, practice of personal health

and cheerful happ ncss; handicraft; i and sense of duty to.one's neigh- , bour and to the community. These ' young men were taught to be ob- servant, to use their eyes and ears at night in glorified hlde-and-seek competitions, and to find their way by the stars. They had to make

“Phyllis The Game"

The Scout Movement embrace al that is best in British traditions of "Playng the Game". From the 005's point oi view, scouting puts

them into fraternity games, which -

is their natural organization, whether for games, mischief or loaiing. It gives them a smart dress designed for utility. for there is’ nothing in the Scout Uniform that has not a. def nite purpose; nothing is fol effect or for swank, except i0 ﬂllpeal to u boy's sense oi ro- mance and make-believe, or won- derment and imagination.

Georgetown

During the Christmas holidays Mr. Gordon Douglas held several meetings oi the boys and older people in Georgetown, after his re- turn irom Winnipeg. He states that the people in Georgetown are very enthusiastic in Scouting. We hope to have Scouts in this district with. in a. few weeks.

Free-Thine Programs

Scouting is a "Games Program", and in teaching it the endeavor is to bring out all that is best in the boy. It is carried out in his free time and does not encroach upon or interfere with school, home or church lie. It is believed that Scouting is the best scheme offered to the churches in the interest of the bﬂys: it teaches tolerance to- wards other forms oi religion. and the practise oi one. »

Vernon

It is our intention to have at Troop of scouts formed in Vernon in the near future. -Mr. Gordon Murray has consented to act a; scoutmaster of this Troop and if any boys in the district are inter- "sled i" i0in’ng the Scouts he may do so by communication with Mr. Murray.

(By The Canadian Press)

UITAWA, Jan. lit-A picture of Canada lining up with the dictat- orship countries of Europe and Asia. in forsaking democracy if the provincial legislatures were per- mitted to interfere with the free- dom oi, the press was painted in the Supreme Court oi Canada to- day by Hon. J. L. Ralston.

As counsel for the daily and weekly newspapers oi Alberta, he was arguing against the Alberta Legislature bill "to ensure the pub- lication oi accurate news and in- formation", one oi three referred to the court for an opinion as to whether they were within the leg- islatlve competence of the Alberta House.

The other measures were d bill to impose taxes on the paid-up capital, reserve funds and undivid-

regulate credit institutions and the business of dealing in credit.

Earlier W. N. Tllley, counsel for the chartered banks of Canada and the Canadian Daily and Weekly Newspapers Associations, argued all three bills were uncon-

‘Col. Balaton referred the court tea. report prepared by Carl W. Ackerman, dean oi the Columbia University Graduate Bchool of Journalism. on restrictions on the freedom of the press. The report described curtailment oi press free- dom as “the black plague oi the 20th century" and listed countries In which to a greater or lesser degree the press was controlled by tha government. .

Wherever the press was control- Ied there was no democracy. in democratic countries including those in the British Empire. ﬁance. Norway, Sweden, Finland and others there was no control. He was sorry to note, said ‘Mr. Balaton. that the Canadian prov- inces oi Alberta and Quebec, by reason oi recent enactments, were listed 11y Dean Ackemian with the

Scenes from "Hansel and Gretel" were beautifully presented, and Saint Scene’ "Carnival of the Animals" made a great hit. Animals wild and domestic -sixteen pantomim- lsts-eppeared on the stage, as well as some real chickens. The dancing elephants were the stars as fares the children were con- cerned.

Both conductors, and the musicians entered into the spirit of the occasion and held their large audience spellbound.

Hector Charlesworth who was present for the first time at "the Christmas frolic of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra" writes most interestingly of some oi the music performed. To quote brief portions.

‘t. ..'I‘he other purely orchestral offering was a Potpourri on airs from Sullivan's "Mikado". .. Sir Ernest's buoyant rhythmical in- terpretation was a delight. and I recalled that nearly twenty years ago he conducted “The Mikado" under far different circumstances. It was when he was a war - priaoner in Ruhleben Camp, Ger-

many and many gifted musical students, similarly placed, were cc-operatlng . . . . The real

romp began with ‘a rendering of Mossolovﬂs modernistie "Iron

Foundry,” a work in which weird noises are co-ordinated to rhythmi- cal effect. The orchestra came on in caps and overel1s,Sir Ernest

And about the presentation of the well known "Chopsticks" — "This work has an interesting his- tory.
