Club Meetings.
These discussions should not be
confined to the hikes. The club in
addition to its weekend excursions,
should have regular days OF meeting
at which all problems affecting tho
club can be dealt with. If four meet
ings are held a month, two should be
devoted to business and two to edu-
cation. The education should be in
the form Of lectures followed by dis

should naturally be connected up with
those taken up on the hike. In addi-
ton to these there can be lectures on
industrial diseases, the dangers Of

THE simplest and most easily organ
l. lied form of sport activity is hik-
ing and outing club. Requiring no
equipment, no gym or field facilities
and no special skill the hiking club
can be organized and maintained with
little trouble or effort.
A few energetic young workers can
by gathering together their &C.
quaintances, preferably from their
place Of work, from their union or the
neighborhood, create the nucleus for
such a club. Care should be exer-
cised that those taken in are either
workers or are sympathetic to the
workers movement.
Need More Than Hiking.
Membership in a hiking club has a
strong appeal for young workers, par
healthy young person is glad to leave
the dirty congested city on a week
end and hike into the country. How
ever mere hiking is not sufficient to
keep the club in existence. After one
or two excursions the mixers lose in
terest in merely jogging along. The
hikes must be more than mere march
ing expeditions. First they must
have places of interest and beauty as
their destination, so that the mixers
will have some incentive to get there.
Then, when the place of encampment
is reached there must be organized
games, singing, and playing. There
should be discussion on the route Of
the hike, or on nature study, or on
photography, OF geology or life in
the city as compared with life in the
country.
If the discussion at these hikes is
led intelligently a lively interest in
nature, in zoology, in geology, in nat
