. ror years in a more or less eiesunury way
tpatmodie efforts have been launched in the inter-
est of the boys of Amarillo but these through lack
of time at the disposal of the men who would have
been benefactors of the boys without sufficient
cooperation in a financial and other ways were
timited in their possibilities for good and in their
scope of application.
'.Now comes a time in which the men of Ama-
rillo' responding to the great need of the com-
Rjunity have assumed in closely organized co-
Operative form and under coordinated programs
really constructive work primarily for the boys
and through thm for the entire eitv. Never in
the history of Amarillo has there been such o
movement for the good of the bovs as the present
one. It has been stabilized .vitalized and put on
a practical working basis.
The Boy Scouts of America stands as an organ
tzation in a class to itself and its benefactions
have been broadly recognized throughout the en-
tire country. Hundreds of thousands of !ys
have been helped past the rough places incident
to the transition from youth to manhood and the
reflections of this general help through the lives
of the boys has been a source of inspiration to the
younger boys so that upon arriving at the age for
affiliation they have entered the ranks of Scout-
craft with far fewer "hard points" to overcome.
Amarillo parents may not. as some have said
"now shift the responsibility for their boys to the
Scouts." but it is true that they will have a strong
.advocate at court in the form of this wonderful
organization. With a Scouts Council such as Am-
arillo now has the boy problem loses none of its
interest but many of its elements of uncertainty.
The Scouts program is a constructive program
"nothing but boys" is at heart its motto and it is
constantly in the minds of the men who have been
honored and at the same time laden with the re-
sponsibility of directional work in connection
with the coming men of the city.
It is a fortunate fact that the parents of Ama-
rillo parents of boys may now go to the Scouts
Council and be assured of constructive advice and
timely help in connection with the problems with
which they are confronted. Heretofore the parent
taed his problems practically alone but under the
present happy arrangement he has been rein-
forced from the circles of outstanding men. These
are men of affairs they are on the pulse of the
wcjrld and through them the best and the sanest
of; constructive thoughts will g into the V.y
program" of Amarillo.
Without any fear of successful contradiction
The News states that at no point in Texas could
be. found a more capable Council than the one
named for Amarillo. This i equivalent to saying
that the work accomplished wil U of the most out
The Clovis Herald and I-ibor Bulletin under the
juiding hand of A. F.. Curren as editor and pro-
prietor ha made its appearance in Clovi with an
initial issue of twenty brimming page. At the
masthead of the new publication i the following
'declaration of purjKise:" "Supporting the Rail-
road Brotherhood and the Clovis Central Trades
L'nion in all their jut contentions." Mr. Curren
is a veteran newspaper man and from the initial
fdition's appearance it seems that he has already
'caught tm" in great shape. Here's wishing the
Iferald the most of the best at all times.

While other cities and even minor towns re
showing a full-grown "crime wave." Amarillo is
asserting day by day. its freedom from such a
rurse a compliment of which any community
should be justly proud. This is a compliment em
bodying the greatest endorsement of the churches

(he public sentiment regarding the general Wel-
fare of the people. Amarillo's oil development is
i matter to be determined in the future but her
;noral status is established and her program as

Ye there's snow and the moisture will help to
start the trees and grass but the water supply is
still a matter of importance for it will have to do
with tiding over these highly desirable growths
when the zephyrs become freighted with more
heat units than are present just now. Amarillo
needs water in greater measure than is at this
time assured and since all of the outside forces
ire busy with their own affairs it is probable that
the city will find herself confronted with the task
if supplying it.

We can not center our attention wholly mi the industrial side of
mir city' lite without disaster even t- these industrial interest.
Along with our st.re. vr banks our factories and our various
businesses and industries . f other kinds we must have or should
have our churches our Y. M. v A our park our playgrounds
our swimming pools and tlie later are really more important than
the former in city building.
The trouble in Amarillo is that we have already gone too far
without providing for the welfare of the children and the city is
right now suffering for it neglect along thi line. We do not
keep a proper ratio between our educational and material inter-
ests when we have only $.';o.iv invested in school buildings
and equipment and at one time vote four time that amount
for good road. We do r.ot keep a proper ratio when we spend
each year aU ut S.n.csk) on our city government and only $i.t?.-
ono on the education of .V.ioo children or when we have only
$55.(1 u invested in a high school building for boys and girls and
invest $t;o.(m in a coliseum. Some people awav from Amarillo
will get the idea it we don't mind that we think more of our
cattle anl our goml than we do of our boy and girl if we con-
tinue to spend seven times as much on a coliseum as we do for
a high school.
I want it understood that 1 am not opposed to thc coliseum
the roads or anything else that we have voted for. I am not crit-
icising any one for the amount that i being spent for our city
government. Hut I do think that we ought to spend a much
for the school as we spend for the city. I do believe and I think
the friends of education will agree with me. that we should not
spend seven times as much in erecting a soliscum as fur a high
school building. It i all right to put the $350010 in the coliseum
but we should also put $j 50.0m or more into a high school build-
ing and it i not right for those of u who favor the coliseum to
begin talking hard time when the need of a highchool building
is suggested. It is all right for us to be in favor of londs for
roads for street for a coliseum and other such thing but we
should aUn be in favor of the other thing that will make Amarillo
a better place ty rear boy and girl. When we vote a million
dolars for street and road we should vote at the same time one
million dollars for equipment for the school for lunch room
for cafeterias for better pay for teacher for a junior college for
playground and playground equipment and playground super-
vision for kindergarten for the little fellows for n special room
for delinquent children for fewer children to the room for a
democratic school program that will provide for the needs of all
the children for paries for1 the children to play in fur swimming
pool for them to swim in. and for a Y. M. ( A. and Y. V. C A.
building for the young people to givethem somewhere to spend
their time in a wholesome environment.
These are some of the thing that Amarillo need in order to
be a safe place to rear children and the friend of the children
must insist on them if they get them. There are some people in
every city who are ready enough to spend money for material
things where they can see the dollars and cent coming in. but
they begin to cry "hard times" when the friend of thee hildren
begin to talk about better educational facilities. In fact the mak-
ing of Amarillo a safe place for the rearing of children will de-
volve very largely upon the mother of the city. Most of our
father are interested in these things. Imt they are absorbed in
their business- ami can imi see the need of them a the mothers
can and th mothers mut learn to speak out for the children
on all occasion and demand that they be ctken care of. They
must learn not to be scan . I by this hard-time talk. Such a cry
i always raised it make no difference what is projxised and vc
must h-arn its source and not let it frighten u from our purxisc.
Thc hard time now on us j only a matter of a few months
but the high school building i a mater of years. Thisbuilding
will be here fifty year from now and there is no reason why
we should let hard-time talk defer its erection when the lxiys
and girl will be made to suffer every day it is deferred.
