son Seton. chief scout: When boy, I
was, Of course, eager for a chance to
camp out, but I had a very wrong idea
about 1t. I believed that one must un-
dergo all sorts of hardships in order to
be really doing it,; such as sleeping on
the ground with one blanket, going
without proper food. etc. knew some
bows who were injured for life by such
practices. 1t Is well, then, to keep in
mind that camping out offers a number
of priceless benefits, and is also beset
by one or two dangers. We scouts aim
to get all the good and avoid all the i'll.
''The good things are: The pure air,
especially at night: the bracing and lung
healing power of the woods; the sun.
bath, the tonic exercise and the nerve
rest.
1.-The bad things are the danger of
rheumatism from sleeping on the ground
or in damp clothes; the exhaustion from
had nights through insufficient bed
clothes or an uncomfortable bed, and the
dangers arising from irregular meals and
badly cooked food. I have seen boys go
hack from an ill-run camp tired out
and but little, benefited: whereas. if prop
erly looked after, every camp should
mean a new spell of life, fresh start in
