AL the recent meeting OF lToop 90
Evelina Gleaves, captain; sidney
Jones. scribe-the new system was
adopted. At each meeting, patroi
leader takes charge of the entire meet
ing in the place of the captain. In
order to make the whole troop second
class as soon as possible, each second
class scout is in charge of one OF the
requirements for the second-class
test. and trains two girls at a time
When they are ready to pass that
particular point. they go to the cap
| tain, and are passed by her. AS soon
as every one is second class. the
entire troop can work together, ana
in that way have greater unity. A
system of demerits has also been
started. Amy one receiving rs demerits
will have to take the tenderfOOt test
over. At the end of three months, the
| records are rubbed clear so that every
one will have a fair chance
