appeal of scout movement [FBOJI OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT] By Air Mail LONDON, March 21 The "one big mistake" made by Lord Baden-Powell was described by Lady Baden-Powell, the Chief Guide, when she addressed the Durban Rotary Club. "When' first my husband started the movement, which everyone thought quite mad and bound ,to fail, it was started for the boys of Great Britain, ghe said. "He spoke to the late King Edward about itj and the latter, in his far-sighted way, asked why it was copyright only for British boys. "My husband then made the one big mistake; that I have known him to make. He said the movement was so purely British that nobody else would take it up. It was no sooner established in the Empire than all the other countries came along and took up the movement *and developed it."
