The daily program Of the delega-
-'on j. strenuous. II begins with rev

YES Food i less plentiful in Eng
land than al home, but the Scouts
have Accommodated themselves to the
conditions. Diet and health are
watched carefully by staff Of
physicians. During the forenoon
the various groups practice their
parts for the JsmbOree. The band .
viii compete for the championship
Of the world. Other Scouts will take 4
part 10 Athletic events and boxing
contests. Scoutscraft. viii have the
most prominent place on the pro-
rram. Of course One Of the sur
prises that the American delegation
j. preparing TO hand to their nv
ais is a group Of one hundred, all
making fire by friction at the same
time by the old Indian bow-drill
method.
Pageantry illustrating the gene
sis Of development of scouting is be-
ing rehearsed daily. The American
delegation has two outstanding ex-
perts in this art. As scouting in
America began with the red men,
forty Scouts will be arrayed in
feather head-dress and other Indian
paraphernslia and thus appear on
several occasions. Some cowboy
stunts viii be "pulled off" also. Ex-
hibitiOns OF this character appeal
strongly to the English public.
Newspaper reporters and camera
men have visited the delegation daily
to see the practice.
Daily programs of sightseeing
have been arranged. The Scouts Wis
tied the great national war exhibit
ion at Crystal Palace on the first
'"~ 'ho" .nent on British soil. On
the next day, Sunday, the Protest
ants attended divine services at ST.
Paul's Cathedral and the Catholics
at Westminster Cathedral. A tour
Of the city in motOr-lOrries was one
1"v's feature. One rainy afternoon
was spent at the British Museum. A
party Of officials was entertained |
for an afternoon in the House OF ,
Lords by the Earl Of Meth; while
