pired term. 1 have for years felt a
great interest in the commission and
have kept informed Of the splendid
work it was doing. I have always ia
vored the charging and extension of its
powers. am in no way under obliga-
tions for past favors or by any con-
nection. in any way, with the corpora
lions over which the commission has
jurisdiction. 1 feel that can be OF
service to the people, and hope to be al
lowed to fill out this term.

| These things are sources of pride, not
\ because they are done amy old way, -
but because the work is a finished
/ product
Each camp has a Camp Mother and
counselors. whose ideas must be con-
suited The senior counselors~ are ex-
perts in physical training or craft work
/ and in providing this work is where
these camps differ from the old-fashion-
ed sort. Bathing. boating and all forms
OF outdoor sports are on quite different
basis and under the supervision of COM
petent teachers.
/ To make camp success the people
working with the boys or girls must
have a genuine love for them.
/ Junior counselors for the boys or girls
camps are often young men or women
helping to pay their expenses. through
] college. Each group has junior coun-
selor and one never sees a bevy of girls
wandering of alone. The counselor sleeps
1 in the tent with those entrusted to her
care
Some camps have servants.~but not any
more than can be avoided. There is a
certain amount Of work in a camp OF a
hundred or two that a servant can take
] of the campers. But my idea is that
when possible such camps should be
I broken into smaller groups
I Clothes are no item in a campfire out
! ing for the girls wear tloomers or short
skirts and MILDLY blouses. 2 boating suit
and sweater usually completes the outfit.
Meals are eaten in a great dining room
which seats everyone and the TACT that
today's meal was prepared by one set
of girls and tomorrow's by another keeps
down snobbishness.
There are times in every girls life
when she thinks she is misunderstood,
\ that she is ill-treated and that few have
/ her artistic temperament. That she is
most unfortunate in having no one cap
able of approaching her. Such girls
need the wholesome atmosphere of the
Camp Fire girls. 1 heard a story not
long ago OF Just such a girl. She wrote
all sorts OF fooiishness on a. card and
7 tackled il on her closet door. Among
THE resolutions" was one to bear with
her mother" and give her brother one
hour OF her society every day. One
morning she had been especially trying
and a little later some friends, jolly,
wholesome people. came for her to go
to the woods She came home radiant
and from then on was a changed girl.
I Her mother, who knew of the resolu-
/ tions was doing her housekeeping
months after that and came across them
with the one word, PUNK, written
across them. Not an elegant expression,
but a word that showed how far removed
\ that girl was from her former mental
condition. Faithfully -ours,
