What the WOOdsman Sees.

you can always tell trained
woodsman from a tenderfoot, because
the tenderfoot sees only the obvious
things that are plainly evident, but
the trained woodsman notices the
little things that are unusual or out
Of the ordinary. For example, the
tenderfoot walking through the woods
will see a lot of trees that look
all alike. The skilled woodsman will
notice that one tree is bent in a
peculiar shape or has knob or
burl on one side. When he sees that
tree again he will recognize it and
know he is on the right trail. The
tenderfoot will be startled by the
sound Of two trees rubbing together
or of bushes cracking with the wind.
The woodsman recognizes these as
ordinary sounds, but he hears the
faintest snap of a twig, made by an

For another, properly ordered

Scouts attempting to qualify In
swimming for first class are warned
that they should not attempt the
distance unless accompanied by a
good swimmer. Always start from the
deep end Of the natatorium ana
swim toward the shallow, or better
still. don't go beyond the five foot
depth till you have made the fifty
yards without feeling exhausted. Wa
ter sense will tell you to make
twenty five yards and return in
shallower water rather than risk the
fifty in straight away unless you're
sure.

Goldsmith left this school at the age
