By the Way
BETH BLAINE

The Commissioner of Girl
Scouts for the District of Co.
lumbia, Mrs. Edward w. Sturde-
want, began her scout work al
most 20 years ago. She first be-
came interested, she says, be-
cause she wanted to give her
little daughter (now a grown
up and very lovely young lady
overseas as captain in Red
Cross Clubmobile) the character
building qualities which she felt
the scout training had to offer
and she wanted to- learn from
that same training how to be a
better mother. And the next
thing she knew she had a scout
troop herself and was knee
deep in scout work!
Wherever she went-and she
went almost everywhere with her
Marine officer husband-to New
port and Quantico (where she
organized the first Girl Scout
troop, to Fort Leavenworth and
to Panama and to China, where
she worked with the scouts in
Shanghai, she became more and
more part of Girl Scout Or
ganization, and she feels now
more than ever in these trying
war times that the spirit and
ideas for which the Girl Scouts
stand is more important to the
youth of our land than ever in
its history. 1t has been said that
there Is grave danger that a
nation at war may neglect the
very thing for which it fights
Its children and their future.
The future belongs to the chill
dren of America. Girl scouting
helps to make them strong to
keep it safe.
There are 10 fields of activity
in the Girl Scouts: community
life, health and safety, homemak-
ing, international friendship, arts
and crafts, literature and drama
tics, music and dancing, nature
study, the out-of- doors and
sports and games. In all of these
the young girls are given help
and the right kind of recreational
activities. They build strong
healthy bodies and healthy
minds. They are taught the full
ness and the richness of the
simple things in life-how to have
a good time without spending a
lot of money-the beauty and the
soul satisfaction of walk in the
country, supper cooked at an out
door fire, the loveliness of sun
set, the gayety Of a good song
with good friends, the love of
people and the love and enjoy
ment OF all things good.
Mrs. Sturdevant thinks that
women can do no more important
job than by helping their young
girls be the kind Of girls they
ought to be. Now living in Wash
ington, where her husband has
been lent to the Navy Depart
ment for duty in Naval Inteln-
gence, she has been commissioner
of Girl Scouts for the past two
years. New leaders are needed,
she says-young women to help
guide these growing girls. Not to
tell them WHAT to do but to tell
them HOW best to do what they
want. Special training courses
are going on now to prepare
young women to be troop leaders
