Child Study Club
Told Scout Appeal

The first meeting for the season
OF the Prospect Child Study Club
at the home OF Mrs. Earl Snyder,
Thursday evening, was addressed
by Miss Mildred Crawford OF the
Roosevelt School faculty on Girl
Scout Work." OF which she is in
charge in Ypsilanti. She told of the
great appeal Scouting has for girls
and the enjoyment they find In be-
longing to a troop. She gave as the
troop the high ideals for which
Scouting stands, the character de.
yelopment the girls attain, and the
privilege OF learning and sharing
friends in a group. She made the
point that the groups are kept small
so that the girls may express their
individual ideas and develop a dem
ocratic training. They have activi-
ties where they can put in prac-
tice the Scout laws instead OF just
learning the words.
She said the national organiza-
ton has a definite stepping-up pro-
gram in which the girls receive
rewards and promotions for their
achievements. This makes a great
incentive among the girls TO keep
learning. She spoke of the empha-
sis placed on outdoor life the
learning about nature alone makes
the work worth while. Scouting de-
yelops self-reliance and leadership,
she said. and attending camp helps
in attaining the high standards of
the organization. Many more adults
are needed in this city. she said,
to carry on the work Of the Scouts.
Miss Crawford herself organized
the first group at Roosevelt School
and under her leadership the Ypsi-
lanti group has grown TO % troops.
