ENDOWMENT FOR THE BOY SCOUTS.

An appeal to the public is made by Lieutenant-General Sir R. Baden-Powell for subscriptions to the Boy Scouts' Endowment Scheme, which is intended to place the organisation permanently on its feet. Up to the present about £65,000 of the quarter of a million required has been obtained. One friend of the scouts has promised £500, if one hundred others will do the same; and another has offered £100, if a thousand others will do likewise. Sixty cheques for a hundred pounds (or guineas) each have been sent, and General Baden-Powell hopes the example will stimulate others. A great work, he points out, lies before the scout movement, especially in the slums of our great industrial cities, where thousands of the poor-class boys are never given a chance to start fairly in the race for life. The offices of the association are at 116, Victoria-street, S.W.
