The spirit of Scouting is the spirit
of America. The restless, searching
spirit of a pioneer people. Free
men and women, working out their
own lives. Building, inventing, im-
proving. Taking the risks and en-

world as they better themselves.

Scouting is a world-wide move-
ment—but there are no Boy Scouts
in any Axis country. •.. Why ?
Perhaps it is because Scouting
teaches tolerance and human
brotherhood, regardless of race or
religion.
Perhaps it is because Scouting is
broader than national boundaries
or political parties.
Perhaps it is because Scouting
encourages independence and self-
reliance, instead of regimentation.
At any rate, the finest possible

Tomorrow is the birthday of one
of our greatest presidents. Yes,
Abraham Lincoln served his coun-
try well. But it was not just
what he did that makes him so
outstanding to us. It is also the
fact that he was a self-made
man.
Everyone is familiar with the
story of how Lincoln was born in
a log cabin, how he studied by
the light of a fire after his day's
work, how he read all that he
could possibly find, and how after
he reached manhood, he became
one of the outstanding figures in I
the history of the United States.
However, there are about eight
common Lincoln fallacies. These
are: That he was a great rail
splitter, that he wore only badly
fitting black frock-coat suits and
a rusty high hat, that he had no
religion, that he knew but one
poem, that he told ocscene stories,
that he never lost his temper,
that he had no love of nature,
and that he was unhappily mar-
ried.
Today Lincoln is in the Hall of
Fame. He is honored, respected,
and praised for his service to his
country. In a time, as now, when
the country is at war, we like to
remember the words of Lincoln
which are from the Gettysburg
address: "—that this nation, un-
der God, shall have a new birth
of freedom,—and that government
of the people, by the prople, for
the people, shall not perish from
the earth.”
