Very First Aid
Tom McDowell was told not to
go swimming ever again with the
boys in the river.
One night after school he came
home with wet hair and his mother
accused him of going swimming.
After a second or two of thinking,
Tom said:
"Mother. I did It to save Sten Lo
bek." "Oh. my noble boy," his mother
cried, 'did you Jump In after him?"
"No, mother," was the answer, "I
Jumped in first so as to be there
when Sten fell In." '

troop In the near future. The
matter now rests with some men
who are prospects for scout mas
ters. Service given by scoutmas
ters Is one of the greatest ser
vices rendered to the community

men approached will consent to
serve as they are very high type
men who are well liked by boys.

INVESTING IN BOYHOOD.
(By An Ex-8cout) ::; :i
' A black lion, somewhat franled

dad's), on a once-white patrol flag

flag, made in haste to be carried

of Troop 37, Brooklyn, in the annu

scouting way back In May, 1911.
At that time I was a lanky lad
of fourteen, much more Interested

AN8WERS TO QUESTIONS
What Is the best time during the
troop meeting for the game period?
Ana.: As to the best time during
the meeting to have games we can
not be so sure that there ' is any
best time. In order to keep the
boys busy before the troop Is cal
led to order. It is a good plan to
play such games as "Swat 'em" and
Hothand" under the leadership of
i patrol leader or an assistant
scoutmaster. Such games as these.
which do cot require teams, per
mit each boy to Join in as soon as
he arrives at the meeting. -
Toward the close ot the meeting
It is a good plan to have games and
contests definitely focused' on
scoutcraft. mostly between' patrol
teams. Of course, the closing cere
monies would follow this game
period.
What Is the Ideal number of pa
trols In a troop?
Ans.: As to the number,' of pa
trols that a troop should have,
this Is largely an open question
that has been debated at consider
able length among scout ..leaders.
The most permanently successful
troops have averaged about twenty
or twenty-four boys divided into
three or four patrols. The arbi
trary number of eight, which la
really the site of a military squad,
(scouting is not military) ' 'should
nut be regarded as the Ideal alte
of a patrol. The natural play
gangs formed by boys from twelve
to seventeen normally have an av
erage membership of five or six. It
Is probably preferable that scout

approximate this slse rather , than
attempt to grow to the slse of a
military squsd. The average pa
trol leader can accomplish more
with a small patrol than with a
large one.
