CLEVELAND OHIO, — FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13th, 1931 OF AGE It vvas only twenty-one years ago that the first idea of scouting vvas brought to the United States from England. Or should it be said that it is twenty-one years already since scouting was introduced into the United States. That is beside the point it is a fact that this week marks the Corning of age anniversary of Boy Scouting in the United States with the amount of good that it did to the thousands of boys who have been enrolled in the ranks of Scout¬ ing since the idea was first introduced into the United States. What it has accomplished is not a matter of statistics, but rather a record hat is most interesting to follow. At the present time there are more than 6000 bcys enrolled :n the Cleveland district who are in ali the clacses of advancement ■rom Tenderfoot to Eagle Scouts. Each boy of that number is getting benefit of training and a prograrrf which calls for the highert type of boys with the finest kind of character in crder to be able to carry on through the program as it has been outlined and based on the principies of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. There are only six thousand Scouts enrolled in the movement in Cleveland today and the future may well watch the progress of those boys as they are enrolled in the ranks of the citizens of the Unitegl States and the citizens of Cleveland for they are the timber of manhood that will be the leaders in leso than twenty years from now. One may wonder at the usefulness of learning how to cook vvithout an) utensils, since there are so many conveniences at hand; one may wonder of what use are some: of the other things that the boy ic taught in the Scouting program. Wondering about it is a philosophers standpoint. The Scouting program is not philosophi- cal but one in vvhich the boy is studied and upon the basi* of that study the program has been ingeniously constructed so that the boy, while he learns things that every boy vvants to do, at heart he is also learning the lesson of standing on his own feet, capable of doing independent thinking. It is that kind of a boy that will make the best man in the future. It is right there if ali of the other advantages of having the boy feel that he has achieved something definite, or having done something that he really vvant- ed to do, are lost.sight of; he stili has: the knovvledge that he knows that he can accomplish things he sets cut to accomplish, depend- ing upon himself and his own ability. That is the genius of the Scout program and, that is one of the reasons why it is celebrating its lWenty-first anniversary this week. and that is the reason why its hundreds of men in Cleveland and thourands in the United States and hundreds of thousands in the world who are devoting their time to Scouting. It is the boy who is the future citizen. The boy who is being taught how to play the game square, and who realizes that he can accomplish things withcut depending on his neighbor. may again run short of Uncle Sammy’s souvenirs. The married man, on the other hand, has dif- ferent difficulties. At Christmas time, he has such a' load to send that he certainly would need the Federal Reserve System to back hirn . His wife insists on a greet- ing card for every gentleman that ever looked at her pretty fect. And above that,, there come ali the in-!aws and by-laws, and the with-laws and what-nots.

It sang manv popular songs, espec- iallv: Bell’s of St. Mary’s, Juani- ta, The Bulldog on the Bank. A well harmonized quartet also of- fered a few melodies, vvith vvhich the people were vvell impressed.

As you ali know, in the good old days'when knight- hood was in flower and prohibi- tior. v/as yet a seed, people vvarm- ed themselves with fire, and not vvith rum as today. They usually started a fire vvith paper, and greeting,-cards are paper. Just arcund Christmas time vvhen fires had to be started the season s greetings arrived.

Dr. Janez Mencinger Dr. Janez Mencinger Legan his literary work with humor and satire. During this later era of his writ- ing he wrote the humorous novel “Mešana gospoda” (Mixed nobility) a picture of medium tov/n official life; “from canabalistic sources” he wrote “Cmokav- zar in Usperna” in a drastic satire on the crudeness of the “Irhar” novels. I 11 a burlesque dialogue “Vod¬ nikov, Vršac” potlej še nekaj” Mencinver parodied the unfortunate of Gregorčič by Dr. Anton Mahnič’ The main part of the work of Mencinger in this era is the philosophical romance “Abandon; bajka za starce” (Abaridan; fa'iry tale for the older people) written in 1893. In content it is a criticism of the li- terary as well as the materialistic iife of people in Europe in vvhich is inU/.ded also a clever criticism of puhlic life in Europe with a particular application to the conditions in Slovenija. Analytical with the dra¬ ma “Der traum ein Leben” of Gfillparzer, the action takes plače in the dreams of the hero, who falls iil because of the disordered matter of contem.porary pessimistic philosophy. The hero becomes the pro- perty and advocate of the evil špirit Abandon, vvho lilce Mephisto is a personification of the bad side of the hero. vvho looks at the past and future history of the Slovenes and the future of the European nations w?th the problematic vievvpoint will they continue to bury themselves in their own faults. When the hero-fina!Jy emancipates himself from the influence of Abandon i„ inmwn that the road that leads to better things As a writer very much akin to Mencinger is the literary character of Dr. Hinka Dolenc court advisor, The similarity is not so much in the things vvhich he published as Krikec in the Ljubljanski Zvon but rather in the hunting and other memoirs vvhich distinguish themselves in the plastic deseription of nature filied also with definitely outlined popular types. The most typical of these is the “Memoires of the Lake Cirknica” and “From childhood”. Approaching the elassies in the “O gozdu in nekaterih njegovih ljudeh” (About the forest and some of its people) to vvhich must be ad¬ ded also the “črtice o burji” (Lines about the north •% vvind.) The realistic vvriters of the “Ljubljanski Zvon” influenced the early writers and contributors to the “Dom in Svet” vvhich vvas founded in 1888 by Dr. Frančišek Lampe, the professor of Theology in Lju¬ bljana. Dr. Lampe raised the standards of the pub- lication from a paper vvhich should serve popular higher plane of making it a literary paper. Dr. Lampe not only distinguished himself only as a direetor of the paper but also as a vvriter of philosophical and theological works among them the best knovvn are “Uvod v modroslovje” -(Introduction to knovvledge), “Dušeslovje” (Psychology) and “Zgodbe Sv. pisma” (Bible History). Ali of these vvorks were published betvveen 1887 and 1894. it is knovvn that is the road of positive Christianity, Christian vvork and love. As an entertaining as well as loveable story One of the oldest narrative vvriters of the “Dom ih Svet” is Peter Bohinjec of Visokega at Kranj (1884- 1319) vvho died as the pastor at Dupljah. Even as a študent at the seminary he began vvith some tales in the Ljubljanski Zvon and later devoted himself almost exclusively to historical and peasant novels vvhich vvere published in the Dom in Svet by the “Slo¬ venska Matica”. In historical novels he loved especial- ly to vvrite of the middle ages. His best vvorks of that character are: Najmlajši mojster (The youngest ma- ster of trade), Za staro pravdo, (For the old law). The translation from Kersnik ’s peasant novels to a peasant sociological novels is best exemplified in the peasant tales “Jarem pregrehe.. (The yolk of sin) and “Kovač in njegov sin” (The smithy and his son.) The most masterly and best developed novel of Bo¬ hinec is the philosophical novel “Volja in nevolja” (Assent and refusal). Fran Jaklič .of Podgorice at Dobropolje by profes- sion a teacher came to the novel through the medium of national and literary studies, the best of vvhich is “Sin” (Son) published in 1896. Characteristic of Ja¬ klič is his inclination to vvrite only of the people of his birthplace. This is true of ali of his vvorks including the historical. He loves to vvrite and does vvrite vvell of the central territory of Slovenija Dolenjsko vvith ali of its people, their life and ali of the characteristic places vvhich everyone knovvs. His best vvorks are: Vojvoda, (Princfe) 1895, O ta testament, (O, this vvill), 1900, and “Od hiše do hiše” (From House to house). 1901. He also contributed to the “Ljubljanski Zvon” and to the Slovenska Matica. Ivo Trost also a teacher added his share to local literature. His native Notranjsko gave him the ins- piration for the best of his novels. Thus his best novels are: Med valovi življenja (In the maelstrom of life) Materina obljuba (A Mother’s Promise)-, Stari dolg, (An old debt). Besides the local nature of his vvrit- ings he also contributed heavily. to the depicting of the laboring man as vvsll as the teaching profession, Later in iife he devoted himself to literature for tha young as vvell as popular literature.
