Have you ever stopped to think how
numerous aro the privileges enjoyed
by the Lone Scouts of Canada?
In the first place a Lone Scout en-
joys membership in the greatest Boy -
Man organization in the world, and is
a Brother Scout to over 2,000,000
Scouts and Scouters in the world.
He has the service of the Dominion
Council and the Provincial Council of
the Boy Scouts Association to call up-
on.
He has the right to participate in
Scout Camps and Jamborees.
As soon as a Lone Scout has passed
his Tenderfoot Test he receives an at-
tractive membership certificate, and
may then wear the Lone Scout Uni-
form and Insignia.
He also receives, monthly, free of
charge, the Lone Scout paper "On
Lone Scout Trails," giving news of his
brother Lonies in different parts of the
Province, and Scouting news in gener-
al.
He has the privilege of earning and
achieving all ranks, titles, badges and
honors as offered to any other Scout
on the same basis of a Scout's inter -
training, which should lead to a life
of happiness and achievement.
The Handbook for Canada, issued
by the Boy Scouts Association, which
is in the possession of Lone Scouts, to-
gether with the help from. Leaders,
Provincial or Dominion Councils and
Counsellors and Friends, some of the
more important methods by which a
Lone Scout can achieve the highest
possible standards in Scouting and in
citizenship.
It ie a game any boy will love to
plays and is a "team" game, emphasiz-
ing the "we" in. preference to the "I,"
and fostering the spirit of service and
helpfulness to others.
If, therefore, you are a boy between
the ages of 12 and 18, and live near a
Troop Headquarters, go and see the
Scoutmaster, and link up with the
Scouts. But if you live in the country
where there is no Scout Troop, be-

The school hours have been reduced
to a single morning session of four

and three and one-half hours for lower
grades. This was done to reduce ex-
