Norris Lauds Camp Fire Girls Dream Of Past Come True

To begin with, it is q joy club.
There is the dress, the beautiful
native dress of the first Americans,
the beads and wampum and leath-
er fringes that we all love-young
or old. There is the Technology,
the lovely Indian names that keep
alive some of the lost beauty of
our colonial beginnings.
There are wood craft, water
craft, camp fires and camp sing
ing; tramping, swimming, fishing,
games. Wherever they are. the
Camp Fire Girls 90 after these
things, delve into them, wiring out
of them every drop Of sweetness
and knowledge. Every girl is wild
to win honors, to string more In
dian beads upon her string, to sew
more emblems upon her khaki
sleeve.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS URGED.
Diving. Cooking. Patriotism.
Nursing. Scholarship. Baby-tend-
ing. Teaching a foreigner, perhaps
in her own mothers kitchen, some
thing about America, discovering
the habits of birds or ants or tur-
ties, setting up tents or stoves, ty-
ing knots, running races, singing
all these things, once so vague, so
inaccessible, mean "honors" to her
now! For theatricals, for neatness,
for promptness, for generosity, for
craftsmanship and popularity, the
Campfire Girl is watched and re-
warded.
No matter how shy she is. the
campfire warns her little heart,
the big girl sitting next to her in
the circle links fingers in her own,
and all the young voices really
MEAN it, when they sing together:
Whose shall stand by this camp
fire, he does not stand alone; whose
hearth is dark and bare and cold,
this is his own!"
And no matter how spoiled she
is, how snobbish and useless and
scornful, the campfire somehow
finds her, too; here she is honestly
praised for what she can DO, and
that makes her little ashamed to
boast of what she merely HAS
or her father has.
ENEICHES COMMUNITY.
For several years l was Guar
dian of Campfire Girls, and it is
my honest belief that any com
munity is the poorer, and any girl
hood cheated. without this par
