Troops 5 and 7.

troops D ara Z.
Last Friday evening Troops 5 and
7 were entertained in Atlantic City
by the Perfektone Talking Machine
Company. Mr., j. Fl. Pauley, who is
the eastern representative of this
company, having charge of the sales
for the whole of South Jersey, was
one of the speakers of the evening.
Mr.. Adams, Supt. Of the Company,
gave a talk on the history Of music,
from its earliest stages, and also as to
how it came to be recorded, which has
finally led up to the present phono-
graph. He rounded up his speech by
Offering to buy a complete uniform for
any boy who would bring in a bona
ide order for a PerfektOne Talking
Machine. Upon hearing that Troop 5
was trying to get money together to
buy a new building for permanent
headquarters, he made out a check for
$25 and handed it to the Scout Master,
who handed it owe to, the treasurer of
the Troop.

Troop 7.
Troop 7 went on their weekly hike
last Saturday to Camp Kesler at Lily
Lake Park, where the boys enjoyed
themselves, as usual. They nov have
American and Troop flags, also hand
kerchiefs, which are a very pretty old
rose. There is still room for a few
more boys, so get busy and join Troop
Z.
The Boy Scouts and their parents
are requested to be present at the
club rooms If Salem Church Friday
evening, March II, TO welcome home
Mr.. George Zippler, Jr., who is presi-
dent of the Mems Club, and a good
friend to the Boy Scout movement.
Troop a.. .
The Boy Scouts took a hike to Lily
Lake last Saturday and enjoyed them
selves to their utmost capacity. Leav-
ing %Pleasantville at 10 o'clock, they
arrived at Lily Lake at Ills. On the
way up they saw Troop 2 of Atlantic
City, which was also going up. But
we arrived first. We saw the new
buildings that are being erected. Walk
IuS dlOllS the SupIe VI tHt ldhC, tic
bows attention was called to the fact
that someone was calling them. Look
ing around they saw a man in the
doorway reckoning for them to come.
They went and received the biggest
surprise of the dav, for the man was
none other than Mr.. Kesler, n of
the best and most whole-hearted in
the Scout work.
Mr.. Kesler surely does know what
boys, like and dislike. for on entering
the house, there was a long table on
which was a large dish of oranges,
another of crackers of all varieties,
and a plate of cheese. Cups were also
on the table and to the delight of the
boys a large pot of boiling coffee was
discovered. What more could one
want? After consuming a large por-
ton of the eatables, the rest were
dedicated to Troop 7. which came up
later. Around 5 O'Clock they left for
home. The boys who took the trip
were William Lloyd. Howard Lloyd,
Edward Blake, Winfield Shaw, William
Green, Nathan Rambeau, Richard
Houser and Henry Newman. All the
bows said that they would be up again.
Troop 4 will hold their regular meet
ing at the High School on Monday
night at 7 o'clock sharp. All boys
will please come out as it Is a very
important meeting.

ent form the quarters are OF three
different lengths and commence on
different days OF the week. Moreover
the new and real quarters will be far
better for large business concerns
Every quarter will start with MONDAY
but as a rule the quarters viii not
start on the first day Of the month.

LIBERTY CALENDAR PLAN

The Liberty Calendar plan sets
aside New Year Day as an indepen-
dent legal holiday. II stands between
the last day of December and the first
day OF January and is not included in
any week or month. Another indie
pendent day, called Leap Year Day
is provided for leap years. IT is
placed between June and July and is
not included in any week or month.
The remaining 364 days are divided
into thirteen months OF exactly four
weeks each.
Thus the weeks are made to exactly
st the months and the months are all
OF the same length. Every month
commences with Monday and there
are exactly a. work DAYS In every
month This mum ber-24--ls very

REFORM.

rope In fact, bill for the adoption
Of this plan was introduced in the
British Parliament Just before the
war.
This plan sets aside one indepen-
dent day in every year. which IS not
included in any week or month, and
divides the remaining S64 days 50
that there are thirty days in each OF
tho first two months Of every quarter
and th1rty-one days in the last
The advantages OF this plan lie IN
The fact that the first month Of every
quarter would always commence on
the same day OF the week; tho second
month OF every quarter would alwaEs
commence on a certain other day OF
the week; and the third month q
every quarter would always com I
Tneuce on another certain day OF the
week. Consequently. under this plan.
one could figure out the location in
The week Of am future date, and he
could do so without the use OF a
printed calendar.
1t ia acknov lodged that this plan
vvould be 4 great impro cement over
our present atrocious form, but It's al
most fatal weakness lies in the fact
that the weeks do not Mt the months
md the months are still OF two off

fe-ts are entirely overcome IN the

There comes a pause in the days occu-
pations,
We call it the chldrens hour"
One OF the interesting features of the
library work in the city is the time de-
voted to the children each week when
they are given the splendid opportunity
of hearing famous stories charmingly
told in language suitable to their minds
and which can be comprehended by even
the tiny tot.
This work is under the direction of
Miss Margaret Duncan. Miss Duncan
came to this city last September from
the Jacksonville, Fla, library. where she
was in charge of the children's depart
ment of that institution. Since that time
each week in the central library, ard
once a month in the different branch H.
braries, she has charmed the children
with her marvellous abilities as an en-
tertainer
on several occasions others interested
in this work have given their time in
aiding Miss Duncan among them Mrs
w. S. Lowell, who TOLD stories from Ala
bama history Mrs. W. f. Johnson THE
Adventures of Uncle Remus" and small
animal stories. Miss Marie Schuster and
Mr. W. NICK. Wright of the English
department of the High school have also
lent their aid in this line.
Mr.. Wright appeared in costume wear
ing the red sherwani of the East Indian
story teller with green and gold tur-
ban and gold belt and his subjects were
How The Monkeys Became Sacred An
imals in India" How The Monkeys
Build a Bridge from India to Ceylon,"
also mother Elephant and Cobra stories.
1t has been asked if the children were
interested in these gatherings and If
enough came to make it worth while
to maintain the story hour, to this Miss
Duncan replies, "Since the beginning of
the story telling hour there has been
at attendance of over 5000 children, max
ing and average of 9S for each afternoon"
On account of the location of the Ger
trail library there have been more boys
in attendance here but in the branches
the reverse has been the case, more
girls
Miss Duncan says, 1.-THE children show
a deep interest in the stories and often
when I am relating a story it is not
unusual II l hesitate for a moment
for the proper word to express myself,
for some boy who is eager to have tins

Last week we devoted the time TO
fairy stories and We're introduced to
many old friends again who were shown
on q wonderful map of fairy land. This
map is about three by six feet, framed
and covered with glass and is very
valuable as well as interesting.
This map represents all well known
stories, folk lore, and fairy tales in child
literature. This map was designed by
Bernard Sleigham an English artist ana
copies We're given by Mrs SidgwiclS, an
English novelist to the children of New
York through the public libraries.
Upon it are pictured dwarfs caves,
Peter Pans house, where Peter and
Wendy lived, with Tinker Bell to wash
the dishes.
There are shown on it al of King Ar
thurs knights with their palaces and
tombs, the three Gorgon sisters of Green
Myths, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Snow
White, Rose Red Puss in Boots, Valley
Of Dragons, Red Riding Hoods House.
Ulysses in His Ship. The Road to Goblin
Land, Oberon's Palace, Narcissus. Psy-
che, Mother Carey and Her Chickens,
Water Babies, Imp Trees and Blue Birds.
and many other well known fairy folk
Tomorrow will be the last of these
story hours for this season when Miss
Duncans subjects will be 1.-THE Cap That
Mother Madel" an adaptation of a
Swedish fairy story modernized. This
is heart story, appealing to the love
for mother; also Billie Bag and His
Bull" a humorous Irish folk tale by
Seumas McManus
Next season Miss Duncan is planning
for folk tales Of different countries to
be told in costume as far as possible of
those countries.
