What the Scout Learns
II could give q dozen other ex-

that | wish had learned as a young
girl. For Girl Scout is an all
around person, YOU know. She can
sew, cook, take care Of babies, swim.
hike, build camp, dance, launder,
mend a leak in gaspipe, wig
wag, bandage a cut and play bas-
ketball. SAe may not do all Of these
things, but probably most Of them.
If she's an ideal scout she can do
anything. This is the education
such as my generation did not get
1t is the sind Of training that l
wouldn't nave my daughters miss
for anything IN the world.
The Girl Scout is thus equipped
TO meet the practical emergencies Of
the day. If the cock leaves she can
prepare ana serve dinner without
confusion. Ii mother is the cook she
can take = day off now and then
without penalizing the family for
it. for she knows her scout daughter
can step iItc her place.
