By proclamation of the President of the United States, this week is to be observed as Boy Scout Week throughout the nation. It is desired to obtain one million new associate members of the Boy Scouts of America. There is no greater investment than in providing the means for developing the youth of the nation, upon whom the whole future of America so obviously depends.

During the war, the scouts established an enviable record. They were found prepared to help whenever called upon, obtaining no less than three hundred million dollars in subscriptions during the Liberty Loan drives, fifty million in the War Savings Stamp campaign, and similar commendable records in other drives.

Although there will be no active drive conducted in the University, the cause of the Boy Scouts is none the less worthy of undergraduate support. Surely there are few better ways of investing a dollar than in an associate membership of the Boy Scouts any day this week.
