LORILLARD SPENCER,
Scout Commissioner.
The following letter has been re-
ceived from Dr.. Haven Emerson. chair
man of the executive committee IN
charge Of the Baby Week campaign:
Loriliard Spencer, Scout Commissioner,
Boy Scouts of America, 80 Madi-
son av.
Ny Dear Mr.. Spencer: Baby Week
is over. A. least the dates June 2D-'6
ar. past. But the little citizens for
whom the campaign was waged have
found so many friends all over the
/ cty hat il is likely that every week
hereafter will be better baby week.
Less than two weeks were spent in
preparation for the campaign, and yet
/ so instant and widespread was the
support given the movement that We
believe no man in all greater New
York failed TO get the message--better
I babies. better mothers, better city.
/ This would have been impossible with
/ out the cooperation of the Boy Scouts
/ in distributing our posters and stream
ers throughout the city.
The thanks of the Mayor and the
Baby Week committee. and. best Of all,
OF the babies themselves are due 20
you and your boys in unstinted meas
ure for the help you have given us.
Cordially yours. II. EMERSON,
Chairman Executive Committee.
The scouts have been invited TO
participate. as usual, in the municipal
Fourth of July celebration and to act
as guards and ushers at the City Hal.
All scouts who are able to be present
will report TO the official in charge on
tn plaza in City Hall Park at 9 o'clock
sharp on the morning Of the Fourth.
Those having stats should bring them.
The scoutmasters' school at head
quarters concluded its session last
Monday with the fifth in the series Of
first aid lectures given by DR.. Fred
erick Coerr. The examination in frs.
aid for those qualified TO take it will
be held at 8:l5 o'clock on Monday
evening, July 10. at headquarters. and
will be onducted as before under the
auspices OF the First Aid Society.
Diplomas will be awarded to those who
pass the examination successfully.
The attendance at this course has been
very encouraging. twenty-five scout
masters and other officials having been
recorded at the last evening. There is
every indication that similar courses,
if held during the coming season, will
be we'll attended and profitable to the
officers under the jurisdiction of the
council.
During the summer instruction will
also be given from time TO time at the
scout camp at Hunters Island by the
deputy commissioners and specialists
who may be in attendance there. This
instruction will cover all the various
scout requirements. such as knot ii eing,
signalling. first aid, etc, and il po ssi-
BILE short hikes will be arranged from
time 70 time during the summer, at
which both scouts and scoutmastors
7 80,
Are building, cooking, etc. In recogni-
! ton Of the service Of DR.. Coerr his
pupils in the course have arranged 10
give dinner on July 20 to which all
scou.masters who care 10 attend aye
cordially invited. Arrangements are
in charge of a committee consisting Of
G.. II. Nelson and Ellis Spear. AN
nounccments as to the place and the
price Of the dinner will be made later.
! Arrangements are being rapidly COM
peted for the opening of the camp this
Monday. The registration for the frs.
two weeks is over one hundred. and
there is every indication that this aver
age will be maintained throughout TIE
summer. Scoutmasters are again re>
minded Of the rule that tenderfeet VINO
have been admitted since July will
no. be allowed to visit camp, except in
the company Of the scoutmaster or as
sistant scoutmastcr of their troop.
The reason for the adoption of this
rule is that new recruits as a rule have
not had experience in taking care Of
the selves in camp. and it is therefore
not advisable to run the risk Of acci
dents or illness.
