Leadership Has its Own ““3: Romance and Adventure yearsfplant men. There is one particular in which this prfsent age is unique and that is the rise in the importance of the avocationâ€" al. For a time the colleges and the seccndary schools weie highly vocation- alizcd or vocational in their emphasis. The curriculum became commercial- ized. Now there is rather abruptly the recognition and the advancement of the avocational. What was once extra curricular now becomes curricular. Here opens a wide field for human leader- :hlp. In the humanities and in the arts and crafts and in social service. It opens opportunities for the adventure into the beautiful and into the useful and the cultural. It has been said, “The Scout Move- ment is a great educational movement for building of strong personalities capable of rendering service to our country. The development of strong personalities that cannot be regimented. Who will face questions bravely and independently.“ Oh. the heart-warming thrill Oi" steering youth into lives of usefulness!/ Oh. the romance of dealing with youth in the days of their youth! or helping youth pack for life‘s journey! Think of the thrill of the human side of com- munity building. of seeing youth in ac- tion with their high ideals. The ad- venture of seeing youth grow in respon- sibility. An American Executive has said. "It seems to me Scouting opens the door to a boy's heart as do few pro- grammes. The results." he continues, “are beyond belief. Nothing stirs me so much likgalmeeting. youth. whom I know are to be leaders." Dr. Coffman says: "Youth come to the campus as mavericksâ€"no brand on them. Plastic. openâ€"minded. idealistic." Think of the potentialities of leadership with youth. Think of the romance in dealing with youth. Have you seen your youth grow up? “Sitting on a log with a boy back from China reviewing what he thought. you had done for him." In a study made by Stevens Institute. it was (liscover'sd that the test meas- urement of success in youth is the ex- tent of their vocabulary. the number of words they use.

The incident aroused so much alarm that. children were not allow-ed to go to their homes after school that day. but remained at nearby farms until the arrest was made.

Gilded Lead Found in Raid at Toronto While searching a house on Gerrard street. east. Toronto. last week. the city police found a small sack of lead shavâ€" ings treated ,with a geld solution. a re- volver. a jeweler‘s scale. a bottle of ni- tric acid. Victor Dillulo. who was found in the house. was arrested and charged with having a revolver without a per- mit. Two other men were subsequently taken into custody and held on va-grancy counts. After a test of the shavings in the laboratory. the police said the highly scientiï¬c treatment of the lead made it almost impossible to detect the difference between it and genuine gold dust. The reaction to the acid test was 'weak. it was announced. Accordnig to the officers. Dilullo said he had worked in Kirkland Lake and some one had given him the parcel containing the shavings to safeguard. The. gun. he is reported to have stated. was purchased from another man on the street. and he intended to sell it at a profit. Plainclothesmen Codlin and Train found the gun and nitric acid in the cellar of the house. Ripping up the floor in an upstairs bedroom. they found the lead shavings and scales. It is to be hoped that the police will make a thorough investigation of the fake gold business with a view to track- ing it to its source. In all this high- grade. iii-jacking of high-grade. and private detective plans to ‘catch high- grade dealers. there is so much of the ‘objectionable that it is time something was done to do away with the whole performance.
