Code of Boy Scouts.

The scout law is strict code of honor
for boys. It's tenets are:
]. A scouts honor is to be trusted. If
a scout were to break his honor by tell
ing a lie, or by not carrying out an or
der exactly when trusted on his honor
to do SO, he may be directed to hand
over his scout badge and never to wear
1t again. He may also be directed to
cease to be a scout.
2. A scout is loyal to his country, his
officers. his parents and his employers.
and thin against any one who is their
enemy or who ever talks badly of them.
B. A scouts duty is to be useful and to
help others. He must be prepared at any
time to save life or to help injured per-
sons And he must try his best to 90 a
good turn to somebody every day.
A. A scout Is a friend to all and a
brother to every other scout, no matter
to what social class the other belongs. A
scout must never be a snob A snob is
cause he Is poorer, or who is poor and re-
sents another because he Is rich. A scout
accepts the other man as he finds him
and makes the best of him.
D. A scout is courteous. That is, he is
polite to all, but especially to women and
children, and old people and invalids,
crfpples, etc. And he must not take any
reward for being helpful or courteous.
u n StOuI Is q ITltUu 10 animals. RE
should save them as far as possible from
pain, and should not kill any animal un-
necessarily. Killing an animal for food
is allowable.
T. A scout obeys orders of his parents.
patrol leader or scout master without
question. Even If he gets an order he
does not like he must do as soldiers
and sailors do; he must carry it out all
the same, because 1t is his duty; and
after he has done it he can come and
state any reason against it; but he
must carry out the order at once. That
is discipline.
s. A scout smiles and whistles under all
circumstances. When he gets an order
he should obey it cheerily and readily.
not in a slow. hang-dog sort of way.
Scouts never grumble at hardships, nor
whine at each other nor swear when put
out. The punishment for swearing or
using bad language is for each offense
mug Of cold water to be poured down the
offenders sleeve by the other scouts. 1t
was the punishment invented by the old
scout, Capt. John Smith, three hundred
years ago.
.. A scout is thrifty; that is. he saves
every penny he can and puts 1t into the
bank, so that he may have money to
keep himself when out of work, and thus
not make himself burden to others; or
that he may have money to give away
to others when they need 1t.

NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS
FORM ATHLETIC CLUB
Will Play Outdoor Games With
High School Teams-Appoint-
ments as Teachers.

For the first time in the history of Nor
NAL School No. / there has been formed
an athletic organization. At present the
enrolment is only seventeen, but many
more recruits are expected.
y meeting of the Normal School girls
was called Tuesday afternoon by three
of their number to ascertain whether it
would be possible to find sufficient girls
interested In basket ball and other ath-
letics to warrant organizing. AS seven
teen girls made it manifest that they
would participate in athletics. it is be-
lieved that the effort will meet with sue
cess. The girls who attended the meeting
were, for the most part, those who had
shown great interest in the high school
contests, the committee which called the
meeting having been composed entirely Of
former captains of high school basket ball
teams-Miss Media Waldecker, formerly
Of Central High School; Miss Dorothy Da-
wilson. formerly Of Eastern High School.
and Miss Hettield, formerly of Western
High School.
The girls have material for two full
teams with three over for substitutes.
They will begin practice in the yard of
the Franklin building next Friday week,
when their suits will be ready. They be-
lieve that the outdoor game will prove
much more healthful and invigorating
than if 1t were played in an indoor gym
nasium. Challenges will be sent to the
high school teams and to private schools
where there are girls of the same age as
the normal girls The officers of the or
ganization are: Manager, Miss Irene
Douglass; acting captain, Miss Media
Waldecker, and treasurer, Miss Dorothy
Davidson.
A. T. Stuart, superintendent of public
schools states that there will be three

School appointed as teachers at the next
meeting of the board of education. 1t is
believed by the school officials that all the
graduates will have positions as teachers
either in this city or out of town before
