The new system substitutes fees for salaries, the schedule of fees being as follows: (a) Composition completed without appeal t0 Board of Review, inclusive of all expenses, $20; (b) composition determined by Board of Review inclusive ofall expenses, $15- A completed case, for purposes of payment of fee, is one \\'lllCil represents an actual and a reasonable rearrangement of the obligations of the applicant satisfactory to the office at Ottawa, or other stiitable scheme of arrangement in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Act. N0 fees will be paid in cases in which it develops that the applicant is ineligible to submit a pro- posal, not being a farmer within the meaning of the Act, or in any case where it develops that the debts of the farmer are actually not beyond his capacity to pay. _ _ Under the new arrangement, the Official Receiver is obliged to pay all expenses.

The Canadian Boy Scouts According to the Ottawa Journal, reports to the conclusion of r935 show vigorous growth in the Canadian Boy Scouts’ organization. This in considerable part is due to the financial drive last ycar- headed by Lord BESSBOROUGII. A large number of ivell-to-do Canadians responded very generously in that matter; and the outcome is doing justice to their liberality. The Scout membership of the Association increased nearly 22 percent. in 1935, and stands now at over 80,000. I The objective which Lord BESSBOROUGH sug- gested was 1oo,o0o by I940. Apparently the fig- ure named will be reached well before 1940. It must not be supposed, however, that in- crease in Scout membership is a matter of draw- ing in boys, If that were all, the figure of 100,- 000 could be reached in a. month. But no in- crease in Scout membership is permitted by the Association unless there is provision for proper training-and that meansiavailability 0f Cffitllefli Scout leaders. To allow an increase to 100,000 Scoilts from the present figure, it is necessary to find and train more than 3,000 new leaders. ,This is not an easy thing; but the basis of the -Scout movement is quality, not numbers. The Scout movement means a great factor for good in the national life. Its vitality and progress in Canada. constitute a Splendid thing; and those who have contributed generously to igwhethei- by money or more greatly by work, should feel well rewarded by what is going on.
