TEN as follows:
"a merit and demerit system has
been put in force in the troop. To be-
gin every member has hundred merit
points to his credit. Thereafter if he
breaks any of the troop laws, scout
laws or acts in q way unbeeoming a
scout he will have certain number OF
points deducted for each offense. Any
member getting as low as twenty-five
points will have to come before the
troop council. the members of which
decide what punishment he is to re-
ceive. On the other hand, any member
doing something worthy receives GER
tain number of points. All points of
merit or delnerit are to be decided by
the scout master whose decision in ev-
cry case is final. The member having
the highest number of points to his
credit will receive a prize at the end of
each three months. Among the offenses
for which dement's are given are swear
ing, talking while in ranks, disrespect
to officers of the troop. lateness or alb
sence from meetings, failing TO assem-
BILE promptly when call is sounded:

After the breadths have been turned

again. First pick out all the cut
threads from each side of the seams.
then lay the breadths together, right
side to right side, and sew with waxed
carpet thread. using a long, heavy
needle which comes for that purpose.
The stitch most commonly used is the
simple over and over stitch.
Stitches should not be taken too
close together and should not be drawn
tight.
