DAN BEARD
Tlictc's not a real bad boy In America.
Not a really bad ono who would not rather
' bo good It you showed him somo sure
enough ways of having tho lime of his
young llfo without bi caking any laws of
tho land. Dan Heard said Ibis today, nnd
Daniel farter Heal d ought to know, be
cause be Is tho organizer of the Hoy Scout
Movement In America, and ho has moro
sessions with real lho blood-nnd-thundcr
boy hearts than docs tho whole army of
tniant ollleers.
Mr Heard came from New York last
night to address Division S of tho Hoy
Scout-'. In lho Philadelphia, Cricket Club.
He olced Ills oung Amei lea platfoim lo
ilaj eu loulo to Hroad Sticct Stnl Ion, where
n Washington expiest curled him to
fuither fields of Scout activity.
"Let the Iiovh do the things they want to
do" l.o said "Win. that's tho very troublo
with education today. There's not enough
of tho boy's angle about It. Things nro
tending moie that i). but tho system It
still old-fog Ish. Hoys want to vvoik, tinker,
create. They want to learn outdoor things
tho llttlo tenement fellows want to brcatho
nnd get healthy In tho open. They want to
study practically.
"When I graduated from an cnglnceiing
cours-o at n school In Covington, Ky., I had
to go out and drivo slakes In order to begin
at tho bottom nnd leally learn what I had
been studying for four years.
"That vi as somo tlmo ago, but It shows
the things that aro sometimes ncceptcd as a
matter of tradition. That doesn't happen
now. of course, but It took some agitation to
alter matters. X think tho Hoy Scout move
ment has lieen a forco In changing educa
tional methods AYo woik through tho boy.
We don't make a focus tliruugh the teacher.
We mako It through him. We get down
Into the heal I of tho youngster nnd see how
things look tit him down there. Then vo
look at them that way, too, and after that
we educate.
"When this Huropean war Is over there
will bo vast economical oppottuuitles for tho
hojs that aro glowing up How. Tho oppor
tunities will bo Industrial. Wo want to
make our bojs ready for them. And they
can lie lendy for them if their training Is
bro.id. 1 do not bollcvo in n strict adop
tion oC vocational training until a boy Is
old enough to decide what ho wants to do,
GHo him ah all-round curriculum that will
make a man of him. Cllvo him so much
healthy, Intel csling work that bo won't
have time to bo bad. Ho doesn't want to bo
bad I've never met ono yet who really
wanted to bo bad Jt was just a c.iso of
misplaced oneigy."
Sir. Heard opens "two stories high" of
Hoy Scout mall overy morning letters
ft oin llttlo boyu with surplus oncigy. Somo
of this surplus energy is being heavily In
vested in tho movies.
Of this ependituro Mr. Hcaid says: "Tho
movies do not do as much hnrm to our llttlo
folks as wo group folks Imagine. Tho chil
dren sene tho dubious plots, of courbe, but
they dun't absoib them. It's tho thrills they
want I lemember reading tho "Arabian
Nights" when I was a llttlo fellow. There
wcro somo things In tho book, of course,
that weren't just tho thing for a boy to
read. I laugh now- when I think of tho
opinions I had then. I didn't know- what I
was reading! I just wanted tho thrills.
"If I may ho allowed to get off tho sub
ject of bojs for Just a minute. I would Ilko
to say that I think all of us just want tho
thrills, nnd tho booner writers and pro
ducers loam that there nro clean thrills,
that much sooner can lho censor go out of
business "
Again, Mr' Heard should know: Ho Is a
member of tho National Hoard of Censor
em!) and he Is a noted w riter himself Somo
of Mr Heard's publications nro "Moonlight
nnd Six Feet of Ilomance," "Hoat Building
and Boating," "Jack of All Trades," Shel
ters, shacks nnd Shanties," "Dan Beard's
Animal Hook" nnd "Tho American Hoj'a

THIS IS ST. PAUL'S DAY
Once Considered as Good as Barometer
as Weather Forecaster
This Is St. Paul's Day, which onco was
held In as much respect ns Groundhog Day
so far as weather prognostications wero con
cerned, though Its sway seems to have
passed.
If peoplo still attached much significance
to It this day would bo a dark foreboding,
for tho weather forcast Is for continued
cloudiness tonight with lower temperatures,
though tomorrow promises to bo fair.
Tho verso which tells how tho day affects
tho weather runs thus:
If Rt r.iul'a Day ba fair nnd clear,
it does betlda a happy jear: ,
Hut If It ch.ince to snow or rain.
Then will bo dear all Kinds of eralni
if clnudv nr mint do dark the skin,

And if ttm vvlndi do itto ntoft,
Th n war shall vex the Kingdoms oft.
St Paul's Day maiks tho conversion of

That advice is more pertinent today than
ever before. Leather now is nearly 200 per

relief is in sight. The shortage will continue
long after the war ends at present the shoe
