an important by-product Of their ex-

Hundreds Of women in New York,
and increasing hundreds in other cities
are taking their preparedness training
in Red Cross nursing classes. These
classes are not intended 20 make nurses
Of them Their purpose is merely TO
give very rudimentary grasp of some
Of the most easily applied principles
Of nursing.
These wonderland they are of all
classes of society-are finding in this
rursing instruction by-products Of the
greatest possible value. They are not
beating forgotten muscles into a sem
blsnce Of interest in life, or putting
doctors out OF business by twenty mile
'cross-country hikes. They are, how
ever-bless them'-ftting themselves
20 be better wives, better mothers,
and-bless them again!-better grand
mothers.
It is mighty ticklish business for
mere man in this a woman's age and
on this woman's page to pin medals
on woman for fitting herself to better
serve the once dominant sex; but, do
YOU know, have not found that the

Men may be driven out of business,
but they will never, unless there is a

preparing women the better to DO the
jobs which Nature has set for them to
90 and for which she has endowed
them with peculiar qualifications.
Probably Colonel Kean, director of
the department of military relief of
the Red Cross, who is organizing the
base hospitals, and Miss Jane DelanO,
head of the committee on nursing SER
vice, would tell you that the chief
value of these classes in first aid and
home care of the sick lies in bringing
70 the fore a few exceptional women
who can in case Of war take the po-
sitions of semi-trained hospital help
ers in the base hospitals which are
usually filed in the general hospitals
by pupil nurses.
And probably that is true.
| imagine, however, that the woman
who goes home from her first aid class
and wears out perfectly good mascu-
line leg practising the circular, the re-
verse and the figure eight bandage;
the one who, filled with enthusiasm Of
her newly acquired knowledge Of dis
ease carriers, insists on screening the
back porch so that the flies cannot ge:
near the refrigerator, feels that she
has acquired something more than in
teresting information that must await
the call Of war before il can be ap-
Piled
She has heard and read lot Of curl
Gus names. and seen a lot OF wriggly
pictures Of bacilli and spirille
with and some without beards-and
she may devote one whole nightmare
10 escaping the deadly diplococcus. But
the following facts will stick in her
mind, and, war or no war, prepared
ness or no preparedness, she will
know:
|. That the first necessity in any
case of illness or in any accident Is
the diagnosis and advice of physician.
2. That nursing care by the best
trained graduate nurse available not
only lends to the comfort Of patient
but may mean the difference between
recovery and death.
3. That the care of case of infec-
tious disease is a work that requires
the most skilful hands and highly
scientific technique.
That disease is spread from the
sick to the well by more or less direct
contact. That discharges from natural
orifces or wounds carry the germs OF
disease. and that these organisms must
be DESTROYED or the disease will spread
from the sick 10 the well.
5. That modern health work consists
in knowing what specific micro organ
isms cause the various diseases ana IN
going after them in the places where
thew grow or where they come in con-
tact with the well.
6. That typhoid and dysentery are
spread through certain micro-orgah-
isms found in bowel discharges, when
get into food or water supplies, and
that soiled linen and imperfectly
cleansed hands may carry these dis
eases 70 others.
7. That handkerchiefs used by per-
sons afflicted with influenza should be
boiled before they are put with other
laundry.
S. That. disease germs are seldom
carried in the air, and that while there
is great public and personal careless
ness about many of the essentials OF
disease prevention there is also lo'

What 1.-THE Tribes" Mean.

The work done by these various
tribes embraces an educational move
ment with the widest outdoor activi-
ties. The children Of the league are
taught to swim, to row, TO paddle; they
are taught forestry and nature study,
scouting and photography.
Much of the delight Of these meet
ings out Of doors depends upon the
magic of the campfire, and there are
council meetings at night about the
campfire. where in simple words and
with picturesque ceremonies children
are taught some Of the fundamental
ethics Of life.
The work of the league is 20 fix in
the mind OF the youth Of America an
ideal fqurc, physically strong, we'll
trained athletically, dignifed, cour-
teous, self-controlled, happy and help
ing equipped for emergencies, wise in
the ways Of the woods, in touch with
the world Of men and affairs.
Realizing that manhood, not scholar
ship. is the first aim Of real education,
Mr.. Seton has sought out those pur-
suits which develop the finest charac-
ter, the finest physique, the greatest
self-rel!ance.
ITO accomplish this" he says, "by
every process Of logic We are led back
20 woodcraft, riding, hunting, camper
craft, mountaineering, first aid, star
craft, signalling, and, above all,
heroism."
Honors are given to the Woodcraft
children By standards, not by the
amount OF time spent or the books
pored over, but By fine spiritual and
physical accomplishment. Every child
has a chance for glory through these
standards.
M Seton says; 81 have never met.

These are the fundamentals Of life in

Now. in order to teach children the
importance of these twelve rules and
regulations the work Of the league is
divided into different tribes. All the
members begin first Of all by learning

then graduating. according 70 their &C

themselves and others, 20 face respon-
sibility. to respect their elders and. in
other words, to make good right along
the line
Mr.. Seton contends that our two
great national sins are wastefulncss
and lack of simple pleasures. He be-
lieves that the new outdoor education
will teach boys and girls how to find
sane happiness through usefulness
and il will teach them to overcome
wastefulness by seeing the disastrous
results Of it. He believes that tie
rules and the regulations Of the Wood
craft League will bring about in our
children a sense of civic responsibility.
This kind Of education does not sug-
gest punishment or preaching, but il
changes life for both boys and girls
by teaching them how TO do construc-
lively well something that is important.
If children are taught to love the
woods, the forests, the animals, the
streams, the turf, TO understand the
value Of all these things, we shall not
need departments in Washington 10
bring about movements for conserva-
ton. Our boys and girls will be our
forest rangers and they will take care
of forest fires; they will see that nc
woodland is destroyed, no animals are
wantonly shot, no brooks dried up. And
10 bring this about we must teach chill
dren the ways of the woods, the Wis
dom of Nature; give them the under
standing eye, the thinking hand, the
mind controlled, the body trained so
that wherever their lot is cast they are
capable of controlling circumstances
and getting some pleasure out of work.
The membership to the Woodcraft
League is divided into four groups
the Little Lodge for children under
twelve, the Big Lodge for those over
twelve, the Red Medicine Lodge for
members over twenty-one, and the
Woodcraft Club of Guides The laws
for the whole brotherhood of the
Woodcraft League are given below, and
surely We have here foundation for
the education of every truly democratic
boy and girl in America.
The Twelve Great Rules.
First, OBEDIENCE.-To obey is the
first duty Of the Woodcraft girl or boy.
Second, BRAVERY.-Courage is the
boy or girls highest gift.
Third, CLEANLINESS.-Keep both
yourself and your camp clean.
Fourth, NO SMOKING AND AL
CoHOL.
Fifth, HELPFULNESS.-Every boy or
girl member of band, camping under
the rules and regulations of the Wood
craft League must do his or her share
of work.
Sixth. FAIRNESS.-Foul play is
frowned upon.
Seventh. KINDNESS.-At least one
essentially kind act every day is ex-
pected from a Woodcraft member.
Eighth. TO GUARD AGAINST WILD
FIRE.
Ninth. TO PROTECT ALL HARM
