FIND THE FAIR HEAD TODAY
TIIK opportunity te vitalize the world fair
of lO-Ml with a directing jiersennllty is
dre vividly jircsent today tlinn nt nny
time since the project was launched. With
,thc flte chosen, the campaign te enlist con
gressional Interest begun and with n co
operative realignment established In tbe
Beard of Directors, the note of progress can
only be sustained by an Infusion of force
ful Individual leadership. Te enter upon
the next stage of advancement the Sesqul
Centennial must be captained.
Command of the Sesqul-Centennlal en
terprise will undoubtedly be trying at times
and will call for pntlence, common sense.
vigor and breadth of vision. But a demand
for such attributes is made by virtually
every great office. Jeseph 11. Hawlcy, who
was made president of the Centennial Com
mission In 1S71, and Alfred T. (ioshern,
.who In 1873 became director of Phila
delphia's first great fair, courageously com
bated an abundance of obstacles, carried the
undertaking te triumph and reaped deserved
honors in consequence. The Panama Cnnnl
was net tee big for n lrader, as the per
sonal record of Geerge AV. Goethals con
vincingly demonstrates.
The public-spirited self-sacrifice Imposed
by the presidency of the Fair Association
should net be construed ns meaning merely
martyrdom. There are laurels te be gar
nered lu assuming any efficii In which
brains, energy, tact and executive ability
arc exigent.
If the Sesqul-Centennlal Association Is
moved, as Is earnestly te be hoped, te decide
definitely today upon n fitting prcbidcnt
willing te meet the obligation, that indi
vidual will earn something mere than com cem com
mlseratlen. He Is virtually certain te
arouse popular appreciation, public co
operation and a new spirit of constructive
geed will.
WHO WANTS A TROLLEY LINE?
JITNEYS first bocume popular in New
Jersey when trolley service en many in
terurbun lines became, notoriously Ineffi
cient. The people compelled legislative
recognition for the jitney because many1 of
the managers of public service lines relied
n the politicians rather than en the puElic
'fer the aid necessary te the prosperity of
their companies.
. TVhen, because of dwindling patronage,
due largely te badly managed trolley sys
tems, the street railway interests forced past
the Public Utilities Commission a rule per
mitting large advances in fares, the jitneys
thrived the mere. And because of jitney
competition the company which has been
operating about thirty miles of trolley lines
out of Brldgetbn yesterday offered Its lines,
stock and equipment te the communities
served and offered them for nothing! It
Is going out of business, the company says,
and is looking for some one te take the
property off its bands.
That trolley company, though it may
hare been individually as chaste as the new
fallen snow, Is a dying victim of the politi
cal corruption that for ycurs, by n process
of contagion, has hampered the growth nnd
efficiency of Innumerable public utilities lit
New Jersey.
THE COLLAPSE AT GENOA
GXXGEN, freely administered through
speeches, appeals, threats, interviews,
cemmuniques and whisperings between dele
gation and delegation, wasn't adequate te
keep life in the Genea conference. The
vital forces of reason and justice were
absent.
The men and the natlensVepresentcd were
unable te rise above themselves and their
Immediate concerns te take a general and
generous view of the world of common man
kind and its needs.
' As the conference cellapcs there may be
a grain of consolation in the obvious fact
that its ruin marks another colossal failure
of diplomatic sophistry, selfishness nnd un
bridled opportunism. In time and through
such experiences as this European states
men and bankers may achleve something like
wisdom.
The conference turned out te he a disor
derly scramble for political and economic
advantage. The Russians, plajlng niele-
. dramatically te the gallery nt home, were
e mere admirable than the spokesmen for
political theories which they profess te de
test. They were as willing te sell Russia
as some of their colleagues were te buy it.
New oil the sordid secret treaties and con
cessions ere seemingly amid the debris of

PINCHOT IS SURE TO WIN IF
ALL HIS SUPPORTERS VOTE
But Phlladelphlans Must De Their Duty
te Insure a New Deal and a
Clean-Up In Harrlsburg
TUB voters of this city may decide today
who is te be the next Governer.
It is generally expected that Plnchet will
carry nearly if net quite nil the counties
save Allegheny nnd Philadelphia.
The Vare organization Is counting en
polling a big enough Alter vote here te offset
the Plnchet vete in the rest of the State.
It will de this If the opposition stays nt
home.
It cannot de It if nil the voters who want
n general house cleaning in Harrlsburg go te
the polls before they close at 8 o'clock to
night. Ne one denies that there should be a
house cleaning In the Stntc capital.
Alter himself bus been forced te appoint
en attorney te examine the charges made
against the way the office of the State
Treasurer has been conducted.
Hut Alter is tied up by bends of political
nnd personal gratitude te the men respon
sible for the Treasury scandals.
He would find himself as Governer blocked
at every step by men who wished te cover up
the truth.
However honest his purposes may be, be Is
part of the system.
Ne such house cleaning as Is needed can
be mnde by nny man tied up with the men
who have been playing ducks nnd drakes
with the State's money.
Plnchet is free from nil this. He was net
asked te become n candidate by a group of
men seeking te keep their held en the In
vestigating authorities of the State while
they kept their held en the offices which need
investigating.
There can be no radical improvement in
conditions In Harrlsburg without a new deal.
The merul of all this Is that the voters
who want a house cleaning must vote for the
nomination of Plnchet.
There Is another Issue which should appeal
directly te the Philadelphia voters. That Is
the Issue of contractor government.
Alter was selected ns the candidate by
Senater Vare, of this city, und Senater
Leslie, of Pittsburgh, both of them contrac
tors. If they own the next Governer they will
have a part ownership in every contract
awarding official whom the Governer ap
points. It Is morally certain that favoritism
in contract awards would prevail In Harrls
burg as It prevailed in this city before the
last mayoralty election.
On street cleaning alone the taxpayers of
the city arc going te save about 1,000,000
this year because the city itself is doing the
work.
But Vare and his friends are hoping te be
able te amend the charter next winter in
such a way as te compel the city te restore
the contract system and glve te the con
tractors this enormous profit.
If Plnchet Is nemlnntcd they can't get the
charter amended in this way.
If Alter were nominated It would be a
sure thing.
Alter himself has said that he will favor
no charter changes which nre net. desired by
the city, but who will tell him what the city
rants?
Will he take the word of the Vare ma
jority in City Council which will de what
Vare tells them te de?
If he gets nn overwhelming majority of the
primary vote here under the Vare leadership
he can very well assume that what Vare
wants the city wants.
The only way te protect the taxpayers of
the city Is for these taxpayers te vote against
the Vare candidate.
If the Vare candidate is defeated the tax
payers of the State will be protected also.
It is net safe for nny Plnchet voter te re
frain from voting today. Every organization
voter wilf be en hand. The men whose
private business profit is nt stake will see te
that.
There Is nothing but a sense of public duty
that will take the opposition voters te the
polls.
The contest may be se close thnt 500 or
even 100 votes will decide It.
Mayer Moere was nominated by a majority
of only 1313 votes three years age.
Plnchet will come te Philadelphia County
with a majority In his favor.
It is up te the Philadelphia voters te see
te it that that majority Is net offset, by a
hostile vote here.
Ne business or social engagement Is of
enough Importance te keep the voters awuy
from the polls,
The Plnchet workers will make a mistake
If they assume that every citizen whose sym
pathies are with them will go of his or her
own accord te the voting places. They will
hnve lists of the qunllfied electors. Every
effort humanly possible should be made te
get every qualified voter te register his or
her choice.
Theso who have net voted ns the after
noon wanes will in nine cases out of ten be
Tlnchet sympathizers. They should be sent
for. They will be nt home at the dinner
hour, and there is tlme enough after that
for them te vote, as the polls de net close
until 8 o'clock.
If a concerted nnd determined effort is
made the Plnchet vete can be get out.
And then the nomination of Plnchet will
be assured.
WOMEN'S PARTIES
HOW slight the chances arc for a woman's
party solidified as a fcmlnlne institution
exclusively Is Indicated In the preparations
new under way for the dedication of n new
headquurters established in Woshingten in
the interest of women voters nnd their
causes. There Is evidence en all sides te
.show that women's groups are ns sharply
differentiated In mind and temperament as
men's groups are.
The League of Women Voters, the
Trades Union League and the National
Weman's Party nre the mere conspicuous
units In a struggle for leadership In Wash-
mi ii ', 'I i iiaAnii i V in ,' ii'iT'i'
itMtMkU
dppesedMd lf WterValartW:ahd: ita
netlcv. and It nW, be' said that'ahe Leant
of Women Voters agrees wlth,sneithr. The;
Weman's Party, laboring for what It calls
(universal equality, would, as1 the, Trades
Union liCngue points out, actually tone
away from women workers many of the
safeguards attained after long and bitter
struggles in various Legislatures. But Miss
Paul and her associates nre obdurate in
their strujtgle for theoretical equality.
Se long as such rifts remain between
great masses of women voters the "party
organized along, sex lines," of which Presi
dent Harding recently expressed a fear,
will, of course, be out of the question.
THE MUD-SLINCERS
NO LESS a person than Bishop Berry
complains in print because of what Mr.
Alter's friends call the injustices nnd the
mud-sllnglng of the present campaign, The
Bishop and ether conscientious supporters of
the Organization's cnndldate might be bet
ter able te endure the inevitable reactions
of n hard-fought pelltlcnl contest If they
could glve a little tlme te the study of the
propaganda prepared nnd broadcast at
great cxpense by allies of the Vare Organi
zation in nil the Interior sections of the
State. Mud Is net only slung at Mr. Pln Pln
ceot. It Is being flung nt Mr. PlncUet's
wife and hurled at every woman of nny
prominence who has ventured te take an
actlve part In the general movement against
nn utterly debased and cynical system of
pelltlcnl profiteering.
It is impossible te Imagine nny dirtier or
mere reckless method of campaigning than
that which some of Mr. Alter's friends have
directed ngainst women leaders en the Pro
gressive Republican slA. The most con
spicuous example of this sort of guerrilla
warfare is n broadside addrcsed te the labor
clement of the Statc Werklngmcn In re
gions where n coal strike has' been followed
by very real ha'rdshlp for thousands of
miners' families nre asked te support Alter
because "women of society have been work
ing In behalf of Mr. Plnchet."
New, the women who bnvc led the Pln Pln
ceot movement in the eastern part of Penn
sylvania are women who have had enough
heart and conscience nnd intelligence te
see the need of n reform in Stntc politics.
They happen te be public-spirited enough
te support n candidate who, net se long
age, was denounced ns a radical supporter
of labor.
The faction for which Mr. Alter's propa
gandists ask the labor vete Is the faction
which refused te hear the miners' side of
the case in the Pennsylvania Legislature;
which made no movement te ' defend the
civil rights of steel workers In the Pitts
burgh region during the great tie-up that
resulted In n victory for reaction, and that
has never displayed any sign of an Intelli
gent Interest in any cause ndvnnccd by
workers In nny field but that of politics.
Mud-sllngcrs In the Alter camp, who have
thus descended te the arts df misrepresenta
tion, clearly are affiliated with unionism.
The incident is one that well might be scru
tinized by labor men themselves. Ker what
sort of labor leader Is he who gees te great
pains te lend lubering men te elect their
enemies te office?
THE JEWISH HOMELAND
THE development und repopulatlen by the
Jews of the homeland of Palestine has
been called "the greatest romance in his
tory." The ascription is net entirely exact,
since it Implies an element of the unattain
able. Te credit this "romance" and dissociate
It from the purely imaginative it is neces
sary te take cognizance of the compre
hensive practical organization of a stu
pendous undertaking.
Its reality receives especial emphasis this
week In Philadelphia, where n fortnight's
campaign is under way (e raise the local
quota of 5300.000 for the $0,000,000 fund
of the Keren Hoycsed, or Palestine Founda
tion. The ultimate goal is fixed nt ?100,
000,000. of which the American allocation
is $7u,000,000, te be raised within the next
five years.
Twenty-four years age In Basel the move
ment commonly known In ante-bellum days
ns Zionism assumed the outlines of n task
te be prosecuted te a conclusion of extraor
dinary historical, spiritual and social sig
nificance. The World War provided nn
unexampled opportunity te reallze ideals
which until then had appeared as elusive
as they were Inspiring.
Encouraged by the successful resumption
of the offensive in the Near East, Arthur
James Balfour en November 2. 1917, for
mally declared that "Ills Majesty's Gov
ernment views with favor the establishment
in Palestine of n national home for the Jew
ish people nnd will use Its best endeavors te
facilitate the achievement of this object."
Woodrew Wilsen espoused the same causa
en August 31, 1018. One month previous
the remarkable victories of Allenby, which
hnd furnished n new foundation of substance
for a dream, rendered possible tbe dedica
tion In Jerusalem of the cornerstone of a
Hebrew university designed as a symbol of
Jewish cultural revival in Palestine.
In the Snn Reme conference in April,
19-'0, the Entente Powers officially sealed
and delivered te the Jewish people their
opportunity for national development en an
cestral soil. Rccolenfzatlon had already
begun under the British regime.
Notwithstanding American traditional
aversion te active governmental participa
tion In foreign affairs, the Scnate of the
United States recently voted unanimous
approval of the Ledge resolution fuverlng
the establishment in Palestine of the Jew
ish National Heme. Last week the League
of Nations Council, sitting In Geneva, re
corded with satisfaction the receipt of
American sanction of the British mandate
In Palestine.
An enterprise of impressive proportions
and unique and touching character has un
questionably been started en a major scale.
There Is room for Jewish resettlement in
the motherland. ' Although Moslems new
greatly predominate in the population there,
the average of persons per square mlle Is
only seventy -five. Belgium, one of the most
prosperous and enterprising of small na
tions, has nn average of CIS.
There Is nothing essentially impractical
In the effort te bring te full fruition the
rich resources of a lund mismanaged nnd
cruelly harassed from the days of the Reman
Titus.
It is regarded as certain that great num
bers of European Jews, especially Poles and
Russians, will return te the heritage of
their fnthcrs. On a comparatively small
scale an Influx has already started. The
raising of the husc fund, In which Philadel
phia will assuredly niwist te the measure
of its abilities und according te the pre
scription of the Keren Hnyesed, of which
Samuel Untermyer. of New Yerk, is Ameri
can chairman, will give a new power of
organization and cqulpmeiit for the coloniza
tion scheme.
Zienibm, te use the old name, has ceased te
be solely n vision. With consistent ener
gies it Is en the verge of becoming a mun
dane fact.

COLONEL W. Hi;NRY SHOEMAKER
1 Vhnlrmnn ntsttui flrtmmlttee of Uis-
itrn AaIImUm . it. DAnn.vtvnnla Tfaffera
tlen of Historical Societies.
As such he has a mission.
It Is, se far as humanly possible, te pre
vent the extinction of Indian names in this
State.
Colonel Shoemaker distinguishes . one
bright spot in the march of iconoclastic
progress across, and up and down, the
Commonwealth. '
It Is that Pennsylvania baa discarded
fewer of her Indian names than most ether
States.
l'ct every month or se this shifting Is
going en.
Newcomers, Ignorant of. our State his
tory, aliens as it were, urged by personal
vanity or ether cause, arc constantly chang
ing net only the names of famous localities
but even the names of hamlets, streams,
mountains and historical sites.
DR. GEORGE P. DONEHOO, State Li
brarian, one of the highest authorities
in this State en Indian nomenclature, has
also taken en active interest in this sub
ject with Colonel Shoemaker.
In collaboration with Dr. Doncbeo,
Colonel Shoemaker has prepared a glossary
of 132 historic names changed, modernized
or misspelled,
"The Meslnc law," says Dr. Doncheo,
"said, 'Cursed be he that rcmeveth bis
neighbor's landmark; and all tbe people
shall sny Amen.'
"The JeiviBh commonwealth did net have
n historical society during its early develop
ment, or Moses might have added te these
wise regulations, 'Cursed be he that chang
cth one of the historic names of towns and
villages; and nil the pcople shall say,
Amen.'
'"jlTANY of the most beautiful-sounding
"! names, and names of historic value,
have disappeared entirely from the mop of
the State," Dr. Doncheo points out.
"A pluce Is net only a landmark, but it
is a historic landmark, often of mero real
value than the landmark of an individual
occupant of the seli.
".Sometimes tbe whole history 6t n region
can be dug up by .the careful student of the
names which are given te tkc towns, vil
lages and the streets and mountains In that
region.
"Very few of the earlier place nan.es In
Pennsylvania were given in a haphazard
way. s
"They nil meant something, and in most
cases something of real historic value."
The Statd Librarian ' instanced certain
examples.
Names that were stolen nnd given te
ether sites or places.
qiIAMOKIN is an illustration, of this,"
O he said.
"The nume is one of the very eldest en
the Susquehanna River, and It was used
during the entire period of settlement, us
well ns during the period of Indian occu
pancy, when the Vice Regent of the Iroquois
Confederacy made It the Indian capital of
Pennsylvania.
"All of the cnrlicr travelers arid nil or
the official documents relating te Indian
affairs use this name for ttoe present Sun
bury. "The name Shamekln hns been given te a
town which is in no way connected with
the historic town from which the name was
taken,
"In order te ovoid confusion," as the
historian points out, "a historical writer
npw hns te always refer te the old, historic
place in this n.uuncr: 'Shamokin (new
Sunbury.' "
The greatest crime In this respect was
committed by some classical schoolteacher
in the change which was made from Tiega
te Athens.
. Dr. Doncheo refers te it ns the "massacre
or Indian place names by the classic scliool sclieol sclioel
teachers from New England.''
It was one of the sad results of the
Connecticut settlement of Pennsylvania nnd
Vtcstern New Yerk.
Indian names were slaughtered without
pity.
ft A NAME means something," asserted
Dr. Donehoo.
"It btalids for the person or place.
"Te the Israelites the name of the Dcitv
was se sacred and awful that it was net
pronounced at all.
"We Americans nre losing our spirit of
reverence for almost everything.
"Names of places nre changed without a
feeling of less.
"Sometimes these changes are due te the
errors of clerks or map makers."
Dr. Donehoo then pointed out a few
instances where such errors had crept in
"Carter Camp, in Petter County, has
bee substituted f?r Cnrtee Camp the name
of a historic family of which General Curtce
wus a member. -.e
"One can easily see hew this change was
made by a copyist.
"Anether Illustration Is found In th0 name
Queen Run, which should be Qulnn's Run
named for a famous early settler en the
west branch of the Susquehanna."
RECENT maps of Pennsylvania are liter
ally filled with such clerical errors Dr.
Doncheo bays.
Finally, they have the authority of the
Government te back them up in the gcoloil gceloil gcoleil
cnl survey maps, and nnmlng of nosteffices
where these mistakes nre perpetuated
One of the worst eases referred te by Dr
Donehoo is that of the large town of Cora Cera Cora
epolls below Pittsburgh.
Frem frontier days it bore the historic
uame of unce Fert.
The name went back te the romantic
per oil w hen the earlier settlers en the
south bank of the Ohie hud te flv te Vaucu's
Fert for protection from the Indians
Heme fellow who had town leta te SDn
gave te the place the name of his daughter
and added tbe "opelis" te raake It leek
Imposing.
The change of the historic nnmc of Vcnanr
go te Franklin is another instance.
Here is the way Dr. Donehoo handles
another cese:
t( A NOTHER change which Colonel Shoe Shee
rt. maker tells me of Is the suggests!
eiiange 01 nnousciewn te uienwlllard The
Shouse family was one of the early pioneer
families en the upper Ohie In (he days when
the male members of the family defended
the frontiers of civilization.
"There are 'Glens' of every possible Btvle
nnd degree of fashion in the State but
there is only ene Shoubetewn or Sbeuse
Ferry.
"Somehow, whenever n certain type of
pcople meve Inte a locality It seems about
tbe first thing which these modern pioneers
think of Is that of changing u name which
docs net have an up-to-dnte sound te 'Glen'-somethlng-er-othcr.
"Instead of cutting down trees they cut
down names."
HISTORICAL societies have sprung up
In nlmest every county in (he State In
the past twenty years.
Many of them are .housed In handsome
structures.
Dr. Doncheo would make these societies
the arbiters in every case where it Is pro
posed te chnngp a name.
He 1h advocating among these societies
the passage of an Act of Assembly forbidding
the giving of n nume te any place, or trie
changing any place name, without the nu nu
therity "f ejther.the Historical Commission
or the Historical' Society, of Pennsylvania.
"A person has the right te call his own
country place, or his farm, by whatever
name he wishes, birt State names of places
become the property of the Stale and n parr
of the Stule'H urchlvrs," toys Dr. Doiielieo,

SAMUEL SCOVILLE, JR.
On Bey Week
THE underlying purpose of Bey Week is
te get pcople thoroughly acquainted with
the American boy, according te Samuel Sco Sce
vlllc, Jr., who ies for years taken a deep
interest in this important subject.
"After men get past forty years of age,"
said Mr. Sceville, "they begin te forget whnt
boys really nre. And It is of the utmost
importance that they de net forget. Bey
Week, it Is hoped, will restore in some meas
ure at least that human understanding which
should exist between the grown person and
the boy.
"This understanding of the problems of
boyhood nnd the nid which the adult can
glve in helping solve them are of the greatest
possible benefit te every one the Natien,
the community, the parent nnd the boy him-'
self se that It will be easily seen that the
geed which will come from u better under
standing of the boy is net confined te the
individual.
Out-of-Deers Life
"Bey Week will also emphasize the value
of the out-ef-dooM life net only In tne
physical benefits which It confers upon boys
and parents alike, but also in the opportuni
ties which It affords for the bringing to
gether of the parent and his children. If
you get in the wilds, even though they be
near te a great city, und get the boys in the
open, under the summer sky and among the
llttle wild folk you will hove opportunities
te get acquainted with the children which
never come in the city.
"There arc four great things which this
teaches or cenfers: physical hcnlth, Interest
In nature and In the things which nre hers,
resourcefulness and, perhaps most important
of nil, the advantage of being with the
children constantly for at leabt the space of
n few days.
"I am n firm believer In the open-air
'hikes' for boys nnd. most of all, for parent-nnd-sen
'hikes.' Numbers in btich cases nre
nn ndvr.ntagn rather than u disadvantage,
and some of the most successful of these little
excursions have been attended by thirty or
forty fathers and their hens. It has been
the experience of every man who has ever
done much work nmeng the boys that there
arc better opportunities te lxcome acquainted
en both bides In the epeu thau in any" ether
environment.
Parents und Their Children
"The general theory in the past has been
that the study of thu birds and the animals
is useful, but one of the chief elements of
Its value lies in the fact thnt it is ene of tbe
best, If net the very best, wiiy for parents
te get Inte intimate touch with their chil
dren. In the rush nnd I he burly burly of
clly life the avcrngn parent does net see
very much of his children, and n close com
panionship between them Is necessary if the
best nnd most healthful home life is te be
preserved.
"The nyerage parent Is a busy man nnd
most of his tlme Is employed necessarily In
making the living for his fnmlK He has
little opportunity te sen his children in tne
morning befere he has te leave for his work,
and he usually remains nwav nil day, re
turning nt night, when again there is net
mach tlme te establish the intimate rela
tionship with them which should be the nim
of every parent. The average boy is shy
nnd generally reluctant te make advances,
even te his parents. Therefore these ad
vances must come from the father, who will
be gratified te find hew the bon will re
spond te them.
"It has been my own experience, und I
think' the experience of every parent as well,
that the best place te de this Is in the
open. If you nre there with your children,
studying the unlmals and tbe ether pho phe pho
nemena of nature, you will be surprised te
find hew quickly and hew enthusiastically
the child will participate and what n strong
degree of attachment and understanding will
fellow even a short space of time under
these conditions.
Value of Early Teaching
"I have hnd charge of about 10.000 boys
at different times, be I can justly claim te
have hed some experience In this matter. I
first get Inte It by taking my own children
Inte the weeds, sometimes spending Satur
days and Sundays In the summer. We held
llttle enmpfircs and did ether things which
stimulated their interest in the wllus, nnd
it proved exceedingly beneficial for us both
In every way.
"It teaches them something which they
never ferjcl. The out-of-doers bublt, euee
I
They
formed, sticks te them nil their lives. The
elder persons get pleasure from such sur
roundings, but the child gets a joy which
seems te be ulmest past the understanding
of these who hnve net hnd the advantages
of such things during their own youth.
"The open reacts upon the boy in several
ways, nil of them bcneticlul. In the first
place, there Is the physical advantage, which
can scarcely be overestimated. Besides
giving them it joy that many persons have
never get out of life. It makes them strong
nnd nKilc nnd quickens all their senses, A
bev who lias had this training, If It may be
called such, Is ulmest alwnys certain te de
mere ami better work in manhood than one
without it.
Reaction en the Parent
"But (lie, reaction en the parent is no less
noticeable and no less beneficial. Every man
who hns tried it has found that the habit
of getting out I te the open uir hns the same
physical effects upon him as it lias upon his
children.
"The tencLIng of resourcefulness is nn nn
ether important fncter in this kind of life.
The boy who in the weeds is forced te de
velop resourcefulness, even in u "slight de
gree, has un asset that he retains te the
end of his days. It shows him ways of
meeting little everyday emergencies thnt will
preve of use te him later in meeting the reul
emergencies of life. It makes both the bev
nnd the man w.rk better. !- longer and
enjoy geed health while he lives.
"On the lust little excursion of this kind
which I took with my own children we found
six deer, a snuke, the first orchid of the
season and many ether thlntrs of interest
. ,B.."f, 'i1. , And ,llls wm,i thirty miles
of Philadelphia.
Beys Like It
"As a rule the boys " this sort of thing
intensely and will forge nlmest nny ether
pleasure te go en one of these excursions.
They, of course, hnve only the plcasure of
the day In view, nnd de net themselves ap
preciate what it will mean te them in later
years nor what a foundation of hca 1.
btrciwth and resourcefulness they ere un
consciously accumulating:
"But the greatest thing of nil is the cnl.
tlvntkm of the tin which should I bind he
nnrcnt nnd his children together. Bev Week
ms many geed features te commend It te
the Americun pcople and especially te the
American parent, but the uugmentat en of
the feeling for the open Is one of the most
important of nil of these." est
