The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 3 BOY SCOUTS (F rom the Q uiver of J ohn S elden ) • We measure from ourselves; and as things are for our use and purpose, so we approve them. We measure the excellency of other men by some excellency we conceive to be in ourselves. —■ ) ’Tis the trial of a man to see if he will change his side; and if he be so weak as to change once, he will change again. Nature must be the groundwork of wit and art; otherwise whatever is done will prove but jack pudding’s work. A wise man should never resolve upon anything, at least never let the world know his resolution, for if he cannot arrive at that he is ashamed. — We measure the goodness of God from ourselves; we measure his goodness, his justice, his wisdom, by something we call just, good, or wise in ourselves. He that will give himself to all manner of ways to get money may be rich; so he that lets fly all he knows or thinks may by chance be satirically witty. Hon esty sometimes keeps a man from growing rich, and civility from being witty. Men are not troubled to hear a man dispraised, be cause they know, though he be naught, there’s worth in others, but women are mightily troubled to hear any of them spoken against, as if the sex itself were guilty of some unworthiness. Fine wits destroy themselves with their own plots, in meddling with great affairs of state. They com monly do as the ape that saw the gunner put bullets in the cannon, and was pleased with it, and he would be doing so too: At last he puts himself into the piece, and so both the ape and the bullet were shot away together. Wise men say nothing in dangerous times. The lion, you know, called the sheep to ask her if his breath smelt: She said, “Aye;” he bit off her head for a fool. He called the wolf and asked him: He •aid, “No;” he tore him to pieces for a flatterer. At last he called the fox and asked him: Truly he had got a cold and could not smell. The boys of Troop No. 5 are fortunate in having Mr. Allen as Scoutmaster. At the last meeting Mr. Decorah took this troop in hand and entertained them with Indian legends. Mr. Henderson, Scoutmaster of Troop No. 7, took his charges in hand at the last meeting and gave them some valuable instruction in the process of voting by ballot. Troop No. 8, under Scoutmaster Francisco, met in the Brewer Hall reading room. New members were given their first course in knot tying. Each of our troops was represented at the bugle call contest in Salem on Armistice Day—Troop No. 8 by Leslie Evans, No. 7 by Bennie Sanderson, No. 5 by Walter Majhor. Walter Majhor was given sec ond place. Calls were required and Walter Majhor gave them like a veteran but was given one point less than the winner for lack of form. Form rating was new to us. We did not know that it figured, as we thought that the execution of the calls was all that was necessary. Troop No. 8 has a fire set which was put to use at the last meeting. They made fire in short order. “90” OR BETTER The students listed below are those who during the last five-week period have made an average of 90per cent or better in their studies: Elsie Balch, Francis Jones, Mattie Ricker, Florence M.
