FOR four years Buffalo has demonstrated to the country the wisdom of efficient business methods and a live, active local council and scoutmasters' assoEDWARD A. EVERETT Sco11t E.~erntive, Memphis, Te1111. ciation as a means of developing every phase of boy life through the scout program. The Buff a 1 o p u b 1 i c recognized this fact when, on Feb. 16, 17 and 18 they responded generously to an appeal for f u n d s organized by President S a t t e r£ i e 1 d, of the Local Council, Scout Commissioner Rich and Scout Executive Brundage, assisted by a strong group of workers. The amount of the budget was fixed at $10,000 to finance the work one year. As ScouTING goes to press the total amount received is $11,458. Scouting in Buffalo, with over 2,400 men and scouts active, has again demonstrated its work. Efficiency breeds success. Memphis Raises Budget . Memphis, Tennessee, took its place in the scout cities of the South when, under the leadership of Field Commissioner H. M. Butler, the citizens asked for $7,000 to finance the Movement for two years. The campaign's success was realized on February 17, when the chairman announced the desired amount raised. Immediately they invited Edward A. Everett to become Scout Executive. Mr. Everett, who is now at work in Memphis, has had wide experience in boys' work. For some time he was director of boys and young men's work in the High Street Presbyterian Church, of Newark, N. J., and he has had training as a scoutmaster in charge of Troop 1 of Roselle Park, N. J., and Troop 20 of East Orange, N. J., both of which are still in a flourishing condition. On May 1, 1914, Mr. Everett took the position of scout executive of Newark. During the time he held that position the number of troops in Newark increased from thirteen to over fifty. Announcement has been made by the officers of the Kansas City Local Council of the employment of Dr. J. H. Sowerby as Scout Executive. Mr. Sowerby is well known to the scout fraternity on account of his work as F ield Executive in Detroit, Mich., where he was largely instrumental in making the scout services at the National G. A. R. Encampment so effective that they attracted nation-wide attention. Newark Plans $25,000 Campaign Newark, N. J., with over 1,200 scouts registered, will, within the next few months, place itself as one of the leading cities in Scouting throughout the country. A number of representatives of the Newark Local Council, under the leadership of Mr. SCOUTING. B. S. Whitehead and Mr. Don S. Gates, Community Boys' \Vork Secretary, met with Mr. Housman and determined to raise $25,000 to properly finance Scouting for a period of three years. Lewis Buddy, III, will begin work on the Newark campaign on March 6. T. E. Hubby, Secretary of the Waco, Texas, Local Council, and other scout officials of that city are enthusiastic over the prospects before them of raising suitable funds to finance Scouting for a period of two years. The campaign, in charge of H. M. Butler will begin about the middle of March. Where Campaigns Are Now On Special Field Commissioners are at present engaged in the following campaigns: H. L. Eddy, at Davenport, Iowa. $8,000 for two years. W. H. Weisheit, at Oil City, Pa. for three years. H. M. Butler, at Savanah, Ga. for two years. $10,000 $7,000 Lewis Buddy, III, at Wilmington, Del. $10,000 for two years. W. H. York, at Waterhury, Conn. $12,000 for three years. E. C. Bacon, at Battle Cteek, Mich. $6,000 for two years. Atlantic City, N. ]., and Louisville, Kentucky, are at present engaged in securing budgets to provide for the proper financing of the Boy Scout Movement. From the type of Scout work which has been done in these localities, the proper funds should be obtained with little effort. Scouting again proved itself a strong community factor in Lisbon, Ohio, when a committee of two men raised $1,001 to carry on the scout work for one year. The amount asked for was $800. National Field Scout Commissioner, W. J. B. Housman, has visited during the month of February eighteen different cities for the purpose of conferences and lectures. A great demand is being made at National Headquarters for organization work and the Commissioner is desirous of giving as many cities as possible the opportunity of counsel and direction, so that Scouting may be placed upon a businesslike and effective basis. Chicago Raises $25,000 \Vord has been received from Scout Executive L. L. McDonald of Chicago that the campaign for $25,000 to provide a year's budget in that city has met with complete success. The money was raised in a threeday campaign conducted by sixty-five of the younger business men of Chicago. The raising of the Chicago budget will make it possible for the local officials to extend the boy scout work in that city during the coming year. A special effort will be made to reach the boys of the congested West Side sections of the citv. A strong feature of Chicago's work which will be further developed is the week-end camps. These have been connected during the past year both during the summer and winter months. The attendance from May to December, 1915, was 3,500, but this number will be largely increased during the present year. There are now five full time men employed in developing the scout program under the jurisdiction of the Chicago Local Council. Los Angeles Starts Scout Bulletin A scout publication for circulation in southern California has been started by the local council of Los Angeles. The paper is called "Southern California Scout Rodeo." The first number is a four-page pamphlet containing much scout news of interest to Los Angeles and vicinity. A LABOR ENDORSEMENT Toledo Central Labor Union, 314 Cherry Street, Toledo, 0. February 7, 1916. Mr. J. St. Clair Mendenhall, Scout Executive. Dear Sir: I desire t o offer my congratulations upon the good work the hoy scouts of T oledo are doing under your able management and direction. I feel that this organization is doing a service for the boys that merits the appreciation of the general public. It teaches the h oy to live morally and to he of service to his fellows and in that way is helping himself to grow into a better man to the advantage of himself and to the benefit of the community. I wish the Boy Scout Movement every success. Yours respectfully, (Signed) EDWARD P. USHER, President. Big Accident Finds Scouts "Prepared" The ability of Knoxville, Tenn., scouts to act intelligently and promptly in an emergency, was given a severe test recently, when the steps on which 1,300 pupils of the Park City School were standing, collapsed. The children had been massed for the purpose of having a photograph taken, when a portion of the steps gave way. There were numerous injuries of a more or ( less serious nature. By good fortune there were present at the time a number of scouts from troops 2, 4 and 5, who immediately turned their attention to the rescue of the injured and the application of first aid. The efficiency of the work of the scouts is commended in the following letter written by J. R. Lowry, Superintendent of the Park City Schools, to W. P. Toms, Scout Commissioner of the Local Council of Knoxville: "I have your favor of the Sth inst. before me. In reply, beg to say that scouts Fred Chandler. t Hale Thomas, and others rendered signal first aid service on the occasion of our unhappy accideot here last week. I do not see how we could have gotten along without them. It seems providential that we had on hand, at the time, supplies and boy scouts to render this first aid. Too much praise cannot be given the boys for what they did until the doctors arrived. Let us have more boy scouts and more trained for first aid service. God bless the Boy Scout Movement. Long may it live to bless mankind with its beneficent objects. "We shall be' pleased to let you have the school building for a reorganization of the Park City troop. The only thing we ask is that some ar· rangements be made for the proper care of the building when they have their meetings, also for the lights used. I think I can take care of the latter. If there is anything I can do to assist you in your laudable efforts to further the in· terests of the boy scouts, please command me." "FATHER AND SON" BANQUET A successful "Father and Son" banquet was held in Montclair, N. J., on February 11, under the joint auspices of the Boy Scouts and the Y. M. C. A. It was the biggest affair of this kind ever held in that city, so many applications being received that not every one could be accommodated. t Montclair scout officials state that the results of this dinner are already being felt in a warmer spirit of appreciation and cooperation on the part of the parents, and they recommend this fo rm of dinner to the earnest consideration of every local council.
