CHINA AND THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT,
[BY ARGUS.]
"To help other people at all times" is probably the hardest promise that a boy scout Ands to fulfil. Our Hongkong, boy scouts however, have fulfilled it to the letter during the jumborec, which came to a successful conclusion on Saturday night. Anong many
little acts of tact and kindness that are so rare in the younger genera- tion of to-day, one stands out by itself.
I was sitting in the theatre during the performance of the "Scout Play in Chinese," when a Chinese scout-master, wearing the Olympiad medal, with Chinese colours attached, came and sat beside me, "Do you understand Chinese?", he asked.
...
I regretted my ignorance. "Allow me to interpret for you,” was the reply.
il
The speaker was Mr. Lewis Torg, who has raised Troop of Chinese boy scouts at his native village of Tong Ka, near Heung Shan. At the conclusion of the play, which I was able to enjoy thoroughly, thanks to my new found friend, we held further conversa- tion and if the boy scout move- ment in China had done nothing elsc, its officers might well be proud of the good seed sowa la and spread by Mr. Lewis Tong among at least one section of young China. "I have been a scout for tea years" said Mr. Tong, “I joined. when I first entered Futan Univer- sity, Shanghai, and on my return home, last September, had little difficulty in persuading my father [Mr. Tong Shao-yi, first Premier under the Republican régime) to furnish the funds for starting a troop in our village."
"Do you think the boy scout movement in China will flourish ?” I asked.
·
"I see no reason why it shouldn't as long as we can find men like Mr. K. S. Lam to compose and stage plays to enlighten the older people in China. The main object we must gig at is that the boy scout movenient has no- thing to do with creating men, who like the Germans, will misuse milit- ary strength. The point to rememi=" ber is that a boy scout is, never necessarily trained with the idea of making him a soldier. His training follows lines which will fit him to become a useful unit in'ahy amy should such another call come to the civilized world as went forth on August 4th, 1914."
Mr. Tong is cletermined that the lessons learnt under foreign tuition shall be imparted to his less for- tunate brethren. The more the good seed of the boy scout-move- ment is spread the sooner will China enter the comity of nations upon an'équal footing.

At the opening of the jamborce on Friday, H.E. the Governor Sir R.E. Stubbs, made the significant statement that three out Gilt Crosses awarded" the Imperial Headquarters, during the year ending September 1922, had been awarded to Hong- kong Scouts. The local recipients are all Chinese lads. The' Gilt Cross is awarded for plucky and meritorious conduct. Patrol Lea- der Lo Kwok Chung, of Troop 7. won the Cross for saving a lad from drowning near the Praya. Second Class Scouts Ll Hok Wai.and Chang Hung Hun, both of Troop 6, won the award for rendering first aid to a man who was shot und died "within ten minutes. When the Scouts found life was extinct they carried the body to the Central Police. Station.
