SCOUTING (81)

As to the Scout movement, they afford a great disciplinary
lesson to the young boys and girls provided they are
not prepared directly for the army. In some towns here we
have in some of the schools Scout troops who are also students
of the Colleges and it has proved to be a great educational
scheme for helping the development of the children but
they are never taught to carry arms or even the use of firearms.
And furthermore they are often taught the evils of war
rather than encourage them to become in future active
soldiers with imperialistic designs. This of course is my own
personal view.
