SCXH'T BAIXiES PRO¬ VIDE FIX AND INCENTIVE FOR TIIF ROYS. The leaders of the Boy Scouts of America have made arrangements With several boys' preparatory schools throughout the country to adopt the Hoy Scout movement as a supplement to their educational work. Many other academies are considering the adoption of it. Scouting activities in a general way have been taken up by several schools and have been found very helpful and popular. The different phases of scouting can be added to the school work and give additional incentive to the boys both in their studies and in their athletic work. For instance, a boy who becomes a scout can win badges for being pro¬ ficient in various studies, in athletic events and in his tramps on holi¬ days through the country around the academy which he attends. The training which the boys re¬ ceive by engaging in other scout ac¬ tivities can be used as a substitute for military drills and tactics. In the majority of schools the military training is given simply as a means of discipline. Scout activities pro¬ vide discipline, body building and character training, and they take the boys' mind away from the thought of war. Educators are enthusiastic over the scout movement. Captain Fer- rara, commandant of the Depart¬ ment of Military Service of the Stat? University School, Okla., has taken up scouting. Thomas Aston, prin¬ cipal of the public school in McAles- ter, Okla., is interested in the edu¬ cational value of scouting. Cap¬ tain J. W. Dare, who is an instruc¬ tor in the Culver Summer Naval School, Culver, Ind., has been teach ing boys under his charge scout¬ ing for several years, following the principles laid down in the manuals of the British Boy Scouts and the Boy Scouts of America. Captain Bare already has turned out first class scouts. "Our Requirements," he says "are stiff and are somewhat more detailed than covered general¬ ly." Speaking about, the plan of win¬ ning over tiie boys schools, Samuel A. 2.IoHat, Business Secretary of the Hoy Stouts of America, says: "For years emphasis has been placed upon military training by preparatory schools and academic using the military drills and tactics. Undoubtedly this makes a strong ap¬ peal to the boy and his parents, but I am firmly convinced that at this time when the dominant note is for peace, that the educational institu¬ tions availing i tool f of the opportu¬ nities of the appeal that the scout movement is making to boys by in¬ cluding some of these activities in its curriculum will take a forward step in educational work which, 1 believe, will prove of great benelit both to the institution and the boys [with whom it works. I believt ; scouting will prove- helpful* rw\ "The scout laws provide a pro¬ gram for self-government that can- not bo equalled. The boy on tak¬ ing the scout oath is placed upon his honor to obey these laws which require that he be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, courteous and obe¬ dient. The movement places the burden of the demand for recreative exercises and physical training upon the boy. Scouting presents an at¬ tractive method of interesting the boy in history, civics, geology and kindred subjects. "Wherever military drill is com¬ pulsory it soon becomes monoto¬ nous and loses its grip upon the boy. The great variety of activi¬ ties in scouting will suggest spme features that may substitute or sup¬ plement the military drill and con¬ tinue to hold the boy's Interest. ; Such activities as the first aid r the fire drills, signaling, and cales- t henics with scout staffs are sug¬ gested." + XKW INCORPORATIONS Charters liave been issued by the secretary of state to the following new coprotations: The Glasgow Woolen Mills Com¬ pany, of Parkersbiirg, W.

JOHN RAY THOMFSON, LATE METHODIST MINISTER Dr. Geo. C. Wilding in his ad¬ dress before the Laymen's Associa¬ tion Friday afternoon, on "The Roaming Sons of West Virginia," in giving a sketch of Dr. John Ray Thompson, once a member of the West Virginia M. E. Conference, anu president of the State University, related a most pathetic story in con¬ nection with the last days of that most remarkable "little giant" ora¬ tor, writer and divine. There are many people of West Virginia who remember the small stature, but giant like intellect -of this remarkable man when he was pastor of one ?f the churches at Wheeling, at Morgantown, and as president of the State University, as a great orator. From West Vir¬ ginia ho went to one of the great churches in New York city and re¬ mained a pastor in some of the lead¬ ing churches in the east until his death a few years since. There were so many fornfer West Virgin¬ ians filling high places in that place they formed a West Virginia society. Of course Dr. Thompson was a be¬ loved member. Dr. W. C. Snod- grass and Dr. Geo. C. Wilding him¬ self were also distinguished mem¬ bers. On account of the great love the members of the West Virginia So¬ ciety had for Dr. Thompson, and ap¬ preciating his worth without his knowledge before hand, they pre- ented him with a gold-headed cane one day with the inscription on the head "West Virginia Mountain¬ eers." That was a good many year'3 ago. Dr. Thompson appreciated the cane very much, partly 011 account of the donors and largely on ac¬ count of the strong feeling I10 rtill had for West Virginia and West Vir¬ ginians^ his former home and for¬ mer associates. A few years since when the much treasured cane was laid away, and this great man was nearing his end, he called a member of the family and asked for his cane. They de¬ sisted in getting it for him, and told him he was not able to walk and could not use it. But the Doctor insisted 011 having it until they got it for him, and to their surprise ho>. laid the cane lovingly by his side in the bed as a little child would a fa vorite doll. When the small form of the great minister was cold In death and his spirit gone to the "great beyond" the cane from his West Virginia associates was still lying by his side, a last token of respect and love for W©st Vir^ and West Virginians. S FA A TOR HOOTT. Distinguished among the Republi¬ can arrivals is former United States Senator N. B. Scott, of Wheeling. He is stopping at The Kanawha and his rendezvous has been crowded with noted men of the same party complexion ever since he arrived Asked for an interview, the vener¬ able statesman who has been identi¬ fied with every political campaign in West Virginia for the past forty years, said there was nothing for him to say just now. He admitted, however, that his coming was for the I purpose of doing what he can t<o as¬ sist in bringing about conditions that will permit the party to start into the coming campaign with \n im¬ pregnable and a solid front. "Judging from the disposition ex¬ pressed by the old wheelhorses wjiom I have encountered since I came," said the former Senator, "I am con¬ fident. that the meeting will be a love feast of the kind we used- to have when we were in the minority, when we always had an uphill fig- and knew that we had to stand to¬ gether and work against great odds.

One of the matters confronting the party now is a decision of the ques¬ tion of the kind of primary tliat will be made.

REMINSCENGES OF THEDR. JOHN RAY THOMFSON,LATE METHODIST MINISTER

Dr. Geo. C. Wilding in his ad¬dress before the Laymen's Associa¬tion Friday afternoon, on "TheRoaming Sons of West Virginia," ingiving a sketch of Dr. John RayThompson, once a member of theWest Virginia M. E. Conference, anupresident of the State University,related a most pathetic story in con¬nection with the last days of thatmost remarkable "little giant" ora¬tor, writer and divine.

There are many people of WestVirginia who remember the smallstature, but giant like intellect -ofthis remarkable man when he waspastor of one ?f the churches atWheeling, at Morgantown, and aspresident of the State University, asa great orator. From West Vir¬ginia ho went to one of the greatchurches in New York city and re¬mained a pastor in some of the lead¬ing churches in the east until hisdeath a few years since. Therewere so many fornfer West Virgin¬ians filling high places in that placethey formed a West Virginia society.Of course Dr. Thompson was a be¬loved member. Dr. W. C. Snod-grass and Dr. Geo. C. Wilding him¬self were also distinguished mem¬bers.On account of the great love the

members of the West Virginia So¬ciety had for Dr. Thompson, and ap¬preciating his worth without hisknowledge before hand, they pre-ented him with a gold-headed caneone day with the inscription on thehead "West Virginia Mountain¬eers." That was a good many year'3ago. Dr. Thompson appreciated thecane very much, partly 011 accountof the donors and largely on ac¬count of the strong feeling I10 rtillhad for West Virginia and West Vir¬ginians^ his former home and for¬mer associates.A few years since when the much

treasured cane was laid away, andthis great man was nearing his end,he called a member of the familyand asked for his cane. They de¬sisted in getting it for him, and toldhim he was not able to walk andcould not use it. But the Doctorinsisted 011 having it until they gotit for him, and to their surprise ho>.laid the cane lovingly by his side inthe bed as a little child would a favorite doll. When the small formof the great minister was cold Indeath and his spirit gone to the"great beyond" the cane from hisWest Virginia associates was stilllying by his side, a last token ofrespect and love for W©st Vir^and West Virginians.

SFAATOR HOOTT.Distinguished among the Republi¬

can arrivals is former United StatesSenator N. B. Scott, of Wheeling.He is stopping at The Kanawha andhis rendezvous has been crowdedwith noted men of the same partycomplexion ever since he arrivedAsked for an interview, the vener¬able statesman who has been identi¬fied with every political campaign inWest Virginia for the past fortyyears, said there was nothing forhim to say just now. He admitted,however, that his coming was for the

I purpose of doing what he can t<o as¬sist in bringing about conditions thatwill permit the party to start intothe coming campaign with \n im¬pregnable and a solid front.

"Judging from the disposition ex¬pressed by the old wheelhorses wjiomI have encountered since I came,"said the former Senator, "I am con¬fident. that the meeting will be alove feast of the kind we used- tohave when we were in the minority,when we always had an uphill fig-and knew that we had to stand to¬gether and work against great odds.Our appetitites have been whettedthat power has been taken away from

VS.for another great victory and I judgefrom what I hear from those aboatme that there is a willingness to giveand take, each leader being willingto meet the other half way in thematter of agreeing on one purpose.One of the matters confronting theparty now is a decision of the ques¬tion of the kind of primary tliat willbe made. Some are in favor of onemethod of selecting the nominees andcome favor another, but it is rea¬sonable to believe that they will gettogether on that subject and willleave Charleston satisfied that theyhave done their duty and havehelped to patch the differences thatmay exist.
