4,OOO SUMMER CAMPS
PLANNED BY BOY SCOUTS
Masters Will Take Troops Rang
ing From "a tof60 Boys
Into Woods

NEW YORK, March 25.-There will
be at Least 1000 camps OF boy scouts
in this country this summer These
figures were obtained from reports
sent in TO James f. West. chief scout
executive OF the Boy Scouts OF Amer
lea. by various scout masters. -Four
thousand scout masters have said
that they are going to take the boys
camping. II is quite probable that
the number will be still greater.
The information received at the ma
tional headquarters shows how eager
hundreds OF thousands OF boys are for
camp life They are planning for the
summers fun. Many boys who are
poor have been banding together
throughout the winter TO earn money
with which to pay the expenses ioS
their outing. Scout troops haveN
common fund into which the money rs
poured. Accordingly the boys are
trained to be thrifty while they are
having plenty OF fun.
The plans of the scout masters for
giving the boys much bodily training
in scouting are much more detailed
than last summer. While the boys up
TO the present have confined them
selves to learning principles OF camp
ing outdoors, signaling. swimming.
rowing and few other activities, the
work this summer will be much more
extensive, and give the boys a better
physical and mental training. For
this purpose the leaders OF the scout
movement have turned out a scout
master manuals "a proof copy of which
Is being sent TO every scout
master in the country. The new book
contains programs of work for the
scouts and goes in detail into the
methods OF handling boys. IT pro
vides many lines of activity and 1t
was worked out by Professor Irving
Vining and George n. Merritt under
the direction of the educational board.
The new book gives instruction in
knot tying. throwing the Iasso,-eamp-=
ing, stalking, fire lighting. wig-wag sig
mailing, boxing the compass, map max
ing, first aid and various other actlvi-
ties.

What have said about Trainer
Dee is true OF every trainer Who
KNOWS his business. He knows anat-
omy because he has made ii study
and he knows the shortest road &c a
cure for the ailments which attack
ball players.
Dee is one of the best known train
ers in the east. and Roger Cornell,
in the west, is equally we'll known,
Both have reached the top of their
calling because they have made the
human body study Ii is only a
question of time until baseball man
ayers appreciate the value Of men
like them and dispose of the so-called
trainers, whose chief value is that
they know how to wine perspiration
from players body.
IL is hard 10 say what the Phila-
delphia team would be without it's
trainer, but If you ask the players
your answer will probably be a word

victim of the machinations of
social outcasts."
