Denver. April 30.-penver is To have
AN organization Of girl scouts. The
matter is ir the hands Of Miss Elsie
III. a. Virgin, who. incidentally. is de-
voting a large part of her time TO in
creasing the efficiency of women. She
travels about from place 10 place.
training department store clerks IN
scientific craftsmanship.
And while she goes over the coun-
try the work which is her speciality is
the organizing OF the girls into 'pio-
neer" bands. Girls from the age OF
IL years on are admitted.
1T is just to develop common sense
and resourcefulness in girls says
Miss Virgin, hut many mothers of
fer strenuous objections, saying that
Il will make tomboys of their girls.
There is nothing tomboyish about
good wholesome sport. II win help
the girls in every way. The girls are
not encouraged To rough it, as the
saying is. The pioneer work takes
girls away from pottiness. Especially
at the high school age are they tempt
cd 10 absorption in dress, in fraterni-
ties, in gossip and in boys.
The things for which this move.
ment stands are much more whole
some There are indoor interests for
the winter and outdoor amuse.nents
for the summer. The handicraft work,
dressmaklng, the care Of infants. first
aid to the injured and cooHing are
given time during the winter, and IN
summer there are camping, camp
cooking and swimming"
There are three classes Of girl pio-
neers. The third or lowest class has
limited qualifica tions. Any girl of IL
years who can recite the Pioneer
pledge, the Pioneer law, give the
names of the president and vice. presi-
dent of the United States, the gov
ernor Of the state, describe the flag
and sew a button on a piece Of cloth
can qualify.
But TO belong to the second class ii
requires not only less things but
of coal fire building in
stove and wood IRE building out of
doors. The candidate for second class
standing must be able to boil po-
tato so that 1t will be palatable and
cook a piece Of meat i'm savory fash
ion. She must be able to remove a
{ inder from the eye and TO check a
nosebleed
Then she must know the primary
colors and how to select them, and
prove her ability to tie up a package
neatly. The Identification of three
trees. three vegetables, three flowers
and three bros is part of this test.
And here is where provident dispo-
sition is cultivated--the candidate
must earn or save fifty cents and put
il in bank.
To be q first class member consid-
erably more is required. The pioneer"
has to be able to- tell The eight prin-
,ipal points of the compass and point
nut the north star. But that is just
a beginning. She has 10 pass test
in elementary first aid 10 the injured
and must know what to do in case oil
Gre and how TO prevent fire.
The correct bathing and dressing OF
nm infant is the next requirement, and
one at which q great many candidates
will balk. II will be necessary to walk
a mile in the countrT and describe the
landmarks along the way SO that an
other can follow the same route
