GIVES DEMONSTRATION OF
 WHAT CAMPFIRE IS

At the Grand Campfire Council held at the United Congregational church on Friday evening the work ings of the campfire movement were Interestingly explained by Miss Edith Kempthorne, national field secretary Of the Campfire Girls of America, who conducted practical dem onstratdon of campfire work. Miss Kampthorne administered the rank of Woodgatherer to Miss Pa tricia Cassidy, of Mrs. A. J. Sinays council; the rank of Firemaker to Miss Mira Warrington of Miss Hazel Banfield's council; and the rank Of Torch Bearer to Miss Doris Bullard of Mrs. A. c. Freeman's council.
 There were many I parents and friends of the members of the council present and all expressed great inte- rest in the work after hearing the and seeing the work of the councils. Miss Kempthorne outlined the Camp Fire programme as follows:
 Of the one hundred and fifty thou sand Camp Fire Girls, thirty per cent. are already organized in churches. The Camp Fire Program is deeply re- ligious in spirit and ideals; it has been tried out for seven years, and the ever increasing number of leaders who find it a most helpful and workable program for girls, as well as the fact that it has been endorsed by leading educators and ministers all over the gram for the adoleseent girl which is attractive educative, workable, and lasting in effect.
 Dr. \. E.. Richardson. member of the board of Sunday school of the Methodist Episcopal church, and head Of the graduate department of reigi- ous education of Northwestern Uni- versity, Dr. H. N. MaeCracken, pres ident of Vassar college, and other prominent ministers and educators have gone on record as saying that Camp Fire offers the best and most workable program for girls which has yet been devised.
 By organizing the girls in our Sunday school classes into groups of Camp Fire Girls. we shall be able to direct their between Sundays activi- ties, and by so doing will be able to reach far into the everyday lives of our girls.
 The Camp Fire program is basfSs on the home and fosters a love for the home and it's du\s. It makes for better citizenship. It substitutes wholesome outdoor recreation for the FRIVOLOUS paStlmeS oI the town and city.
 The program is so elastic and com prehensiye that it easily fits our Sunday school class program and will he a means, not only of holding the interest of our girls, but also of at tractiving into the Sunday schools, girls of no previous religious affi:ia- :ion.
 Thus the Calnpfire Girl activities pursued on weekdays becomes fit ting supplement to the Sunday activi- ties of a girls class class and assist in the ministry of the class to her whole life.
 This careful organizing of the mid week activities of the girls of his school affords the Sunday school superintendent splendid oppertuni- ty to come into close touch with them personally and in a natural way. It prvides means of doing unusual community service. as well as meet ing local church needs.
