GIRL PIONEERS.
BY LILLIAN scHNEKENsuReER.

The Girl Pioneers OF America Is a
national organization. with local
groups. known by band numbers.
The purpose Of this organization is
to build up girls character and
develop her mentally. morally and
physically. and girl is not taken
from her home. her school or her
church.
To be a Girl Pioneer means TO
be a happy. healthy, normal girl.
ready to learn, to enjoy and to do.
II means to stand ready to keep the
Girl Pioneer pledge and law.
The word pioneer" Is full Of
meaning, full of celebrating
thoughts, OF heroism and bravery.
Of wild adventure. Of strength and
power. A pioneer is one WHO leads
the way-who overcomes difficulties
and clears q path for others to fol-
low. They were the first people to
settle new land and embark into
new enterprises.
When a girl joins and passes
the required tests OF the third-class
she becomes Girl Pioneer. She
then receives a certificate and q
badge. She must have at least one
months service as third-class be-
fore she may become a second-class
Pioneer, for which she also receives
badge. Then she Is required to
have at least one months service as
n second-class before she may quail
ify as q frst-class Pioneer. when
she receives another badge. After
passing the required tests for the
three classes she may qualify for
merit badges, q design embroidered
on the right sleeves Of the uniform.
A band is composed OF several
groups, which Is directed by their
director. Each group takes the
name of an American bird, by which
they are known. The national fees
are one cent a week.
Girls who are ready to stand for
honesty, truthfulness. and the IL
points of our law. will be welcomed
at our meetings. or as Girl Pioneer

There Is a great big word which
is sometimes used when things hap
pen and cannot be explained any
other way. II IL called co-in-cid-
ence. When two people start to do
the same thing or to 20 to the same
place. neither knowing anything
about what the other was doing or
planning to do. that IL co-in-cid-ence.
So IL was coincidence that was at
the bottom OF what happened to
make Blacky the Grow laugh until
he almost made himself sick.
Farmer Browns boy wasn't think
ing OF Buster Bear at all. II was
so long since he had heard of or
seen any sign OF Buster that he had
made up his mind that Buster had
left the Green Forest and gone back
to the Great Woods from which he
had come. When Farmer Browns
boy stood on the great rock deep
In the Green Forest making up his
mind whether or not to jump down
into that snowbank at the foot. Bus
ter Bear was as far from his
thoughts as the moon IL from the
earth.
Now. II Farmer Browns boy had
gone there q day later nothing
would have happened. II was just
coincidence that he went when he
did. which was at the very time
when Buster had been walked from
his long sleep by gentle Sister South
Wind. You know. Buster had slept
all winter on shelf under that great
rock nicely shut In by that very
snowbank Farmer Browns boy was
looking down on. And now. that he
was awake. Buster was hungry, very
hungry, for he had had nothing to
eat since he went TO sleep at the
very beginning OF winter.
so when he had stretched and
stretched and kicked the kinks out
OF his legs he began to dig his way
out through that snowbank. He
had Just got nicely started when
something came plungtng down
through the snow almost on to him.
II was Farmer Browns boy, who

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
HIGHLAND PARK HIGH
BY HARVEY HANSEN.

AS Is characteristic of all depart.
ments OF this high school. the sci
ence department has grown b.
leaps and bounds. Three years age
there was practically no science
taught In the high school. Today
complete courses in physics, chem
istry. botany and biology are offered.
although the work Is now handicap
ped by small laboratory facilities.
The demand for the lower sciences
has grown faster than the ability to
provide laboratory space. but a new
era 10 drawing near. Next Septem-
Der we will enter our new high
school. This building. which is now
nearing completion, will be one OF
the most complete In the United
States. The science department win
then occupy four large laboratories.
three lecture rooms. and nine stock
and apparatus rooms, making 16
rooms In all. While the entire work
is now being carried on by one In
structor. at least three will have
charge of the work In the new
school. The department will then
be prepared to compete fayorably
with any OF the largest schools In
the country.
Last year the school garden work
OF Highland Park was started by the
science instructor, Mr.. Locke. Home
garden work Is emphasized. as va.
cant lots are not available, due TO
1.-The fact that property in Highland
Park Is constantly changing hands
About 40 people were enrolled in
the work, and over 100 good gardens
were the result. Prizes were offered
for the best gardens, all gardens be
ing inspected during the summer
School credit was also given. This
summer II Is expected that 500 pu
pills will be enrolled In the work
and II Is hoped that an exhibit may
be held In the fall. Prizes will be
awarded. not only for the best kept
gardens. but also for garden pro
ducts and the best kept front and
back yards.
| In spite Of great handicaps, the
work in the science department hal
been very successfully carried, or
under the direction Of John Locke
The adequate facilities of the new
building will insure still greater
success In the future.
