Started by Mrs John w. Paris,

scope Of work.
1t has given seven flower shows

Club

The City Gardens Club has sent
out the following appeal:
''The time of gardens is again
here. All are longing for green
spaces whore they can draw a
breath. Why not have garden in
your backyard?
do you know that trees, shrubs,
plants and grass spray out moisture
into the air, thereby reducing dust
and dryness, and that infant NOR
tality is always less where trees and
verdure exist?
"Magnolias and other small trees
grow we'll in city yards. Health
comes also from working out of
doors.
"lf those now having city back
yard gardens would write to YOUR
paper and tell what they mean to
them it would encourage others to
begin. Vegetables will grow as we'll
as plants, but strive for beauty in
all.
"Will you help in removing ugly
conditions?
If possible, will you replace the
high board fence by an iron grill,
which will allow circulation of
air?

portion Of Chicago this movement
has been successful.

In the first encampments of the
Girl Scouts feminine vanities re-
ceived a blow. No powder puffs or
curling irons were allowed in camp.
Mirrors were forbidden, although it
is said that a few were sneaked in

make girls learn to judge one an
other from real qualities.

of our aim. We have the girls give
tableaus and pageants without para
phernalia. They should be unselfish
and when gifts Of candy or cake
come into camp the Scout who re-
ceives them turns them over to the
general supply. Chewing gum is
taboo.
"The Girl Scout directors have
tried to kill other hampering tradi-
tons of childhood. To take the fear
of Nature away is one OF the aims
Of camp life. Every Scout must
learn not to be afraid of the dark.
And you will never see a true Girl
Scout jump and scream over a
snake or thousand-legged worm"
The first national training school
for Girl Scout leaders will be held
in Boston this summer, from June %
to July IA. The camp is open to all
Girl Scout officers and to girls in
tending to become affiliated with

Instruction at the training camp
will be given in campcraft, camp

Low. Sir Robert was the origi-
nator of the Girl Scout movement
in England, where the members are
called Girl Guides. Mrs. Low is
the president Of the Girl Scouts of
America and was the pioneer of
their work in this country.
Although the visitors have had
their time in Washington we'll filled
with dinner and lunch and banquet
invitations, the Scouts have given
valuable entertainment in showing
the condition Of their organization.
Wednesday they presented pa
geant of their activities.
The first scene of the pageant
represented the beginning of the
movement, based upon the saying of
Sir Robert Baden-Powell after he
had organized the Boy Scouts:
GIVE the girls an organization,
but don't make tomboys Of them"
Girl Guides of England appeared
in the second scene, with their
work in the English Land Army.
Then followed some American ia
bleaus: Camping; activities, that
is the duties the Girl Scouts per-
form to win their badges; a May
dance and chorus singing. One
scene of the pageant was devoted to
the Girl Scout in Rumania who
went to war as a soldier and was
killed in battle.
Sir Robert Baden-Powell and
Lady Powell and Mrs. Juliette Low
left Washington on Friday for
New York. Sir Robert will speak
in Carnegie Hall this afternoon
and then leave for tour of the
country inspecting Girl Scout units.
Since the first Girl Scouts were
organized in Savannah, Ga, in 1918,

w WASHINGTON, May 10.
M Now that the war is
w over women and girls
are planning to try camp
life themselves. Training camps for
women are under consideration
throughout the country. The old
idea of camping OUT with leaky
tents and other annoyances is out
of date. A new kind of camping
has come in that includes pleasant
living conditions and specialized
training of one sort and another.
The First National Service
School, Inc, of Washington, is a
pioneer in the new camping. Its
experience in training women for
outdoor life will probably make it
the "Plattsburg" of women's camps
in this country. The fourth en-
campment Will be held this summer
on the government reservation just
out of Washington.
Reconstruction IS the trend of
the new courses O study offered by
the school. Com: unity service has
been added to the curriculum with
the purpose of training women to
be leaders in the line of work they
may choose in their home commune
ties. characterization and Ameri-
canization are the long words APP
piled to the study of simple, health
full ways of living taught in the
camp life.
