*'A BOY SCOUT
AND MY BOY"
"A Hoy Seoul and My Boy," a
true story for mothers by a
mothor, appears in this month's
{Woman's Home Companion. The
name of the author is not given.
It is an unusual story telling the
experience of a mother and her
problems in training her son. She
tells how through Scout activi
ties he and his companions were
Jed away from rough things to
finer sentiments. In closing her
story she say6:
"As I think the mailer over I
am led to believe that it is barely
possible there may be a grain of
ogolism in my eager indorsement
of the Boy Scout movement. I
have often Jonged to tell the
rowdies' and the bullies' mother
how she could train her boys, and
have desisted; I have yearned to
show the braggart's mother her
flagrant mistakes in I lie brag
gart's education, and I have felt
that I had no right. But now—
they have been Boy Scouts six
months, these lhrrre-I can see the
Hoy Scouts' organization effect
ing the very changes I have long
«•<! to e fleet. I can see the 'bully*
no longer deserving of the uainc;
I lie braggart become a silent and
useful member of society; and the
rowdy?—lie is not two feet from
me a.s I write; his head bent du
tifully, along with the carroty
head of the boy of my theories,
over the Boy Scouts' manual,
.studying absorbingly certain signs
and obediences which he owes to
liia superior officer; as fine a boy
as you would care to see. lie ev
en gets up now in manly fashion
to ofTer me a chair when I come
into the room. And neither his
mother or I, nor anything in our
woman's sphere, is accountable
for that, but only and solely the
Scout law and (he grimniv and
much fringed Boy Scouts' Man
ual that has been compiled and
written by men who were once
hoys themselves, and who under
stand, as no woman ever does or
can, a boy's world..* If custom
permitted I would take my hat
off to them; as it does not, I say,
'Lord bles.s you, gentlemen!' "
