ing is by various means such as
hobby shows, courts of honor,
father-and-son dinners, or by direct
contact, then it is out of our hands.
Scoutmasters are not social workers.
We do what we can to the best of
our ability, and then we have to
hope (and pray) for the best."
From C.B., Cubmaster, Chicago,
Illinois: "We print a monthly news-
letter for our pack and troop, in-
cluding the parents. May we reprint
your article?"
(Editor's Note: Yes!)
From Mrs. H.J.M., Den Mother,
H addon field, New Jersey: "The
Scout and his parents need to sit
down and make a daily or weekly
schedule of his free time and how
it is spent. Some parents allow chil-
dren to become involved in too many
activities."
From Mrs. M.M., Freeport, New
York: "In a conference ivith the
principal I casually mentioned Fd
made my son withdraw from Scouts.
The principal was appalled. He
pointed out that if / took away
Scouting, activities (which the boy
liked and ivas doing ivell) and left
him only schoolwork (which he did
not enjoy and was doing poorly),
1 would be helping him cultivate the
habit of failure instead of success."
From R.K., Cub Scout, North
Providence, Rhode Island: "You
should show Wallie's parents how
much fun and good training he'll
have . . . P.S. Tell me how it works
out."
To Cub Scout R.K. and others:
A follow-up letter from N.P. relates
—"Wallie is back in the troop, and
his grades are on the upgrade. Wal-
lie's mother finally relented when a
little 'education was applied by a
former Scout—Wallie's father."
