ly itr was -necessary thoroughly to
arouse and inform tbe pablic.
The Committee decided to issne an
Illustrated twenty-four page pamphlet
setting forth tbe facts, and appealed
to tbe Boy Scoots of America of tbe
State of New York for cooperation
in distributing it. Tbe policies and
regulations of tbe Boy Scouts prohibit,
participation in political or partisan
isene6, but tnis issue was found to be
aonpolitica! and of benefit to all the
people. Therefore tbe executive
beard authorized tbat tbe eleven hundred scoutmasters in tbe S'ate be |
given an opportunity to volunteer in
tbe distribution of tbese pampbiets j
through tbe members of tbeir troops.
Asa reeult, twelve thousand beys
in tbe State of New York responded
and iu a very intelligent and effective
way distributed nearly two hundred
thousand of the booklets, thereby
giving the voters an opportunity to
analyse tbe merits of tbe plan. Tbis
has resulted in a large vote being
«ast, with a substantial majority in
favor of toe bond issue.
In this way tbe members of the
Boy Scoots ot America of tbe State of
Hew York have strikingly illustrated
tbeir interest in a big civic movement
affecting tbe pnblic welfare. More
than this, in the distribution of these
pamphlets and by tbe thought
eeeasioned incident to tbeir work a
very definite conception bas been
developed in tb. minds of tbe boys
as to tbeir relationship as individuals
to tbe big problems of tbe State and
"Ration, and it was brought bome to
them very vividly *bat their membership in tl.e Koy Scouts of America
meant practical training for citizenship-.
