The Jewish Scouts

To the Editor of the "NorrH-Cuina Datty News."

Sm,—At the largest meeting of Scouters (active officers of the Boy Scouts Association, Shanghai Branch) that has ever been held in Shanghai since the inauguration of the movement here, I was ré- quested last night to write you to the effect that the meeting tnanimously agreed with the sentiments expressed in your leaderette commenting on the letter signed by Risardo, relating to the Jewish School Troop and Pack.

With regard to the attack made by Englishman upon the Scout Council, which in this case "quite failed to do the fair thing" I would like to say that first there is no Scout Council to-day, its functions being carried out by the Executive Committee; that second the whole matter was very carefully discussed before a decision was made; and third the Boy Scouts Association is eagerly desirous of enrolling among-tits members Englishmen who take an interest in Scouts and Cubs, more particularly those who know. how to play the game.

On behalf of the Jewish Schoo! Scouts and Cubs I would like to say that they obeyed their scouting orders and played the game well, as did all the other Scouts and Cubs, throughout the whole Jamboree and the Scout authorities were all highly gratified with the results, Tam, ete, F. ©. Minuincrow. Commissioner. The Boy Scouts Association,
