What the Girl Scouts Are Doing how to do theae things skilfully and Independently. The next thing you wish for the American girl la that she might have some sane, 'practical (and Interesting don't forget that) preparation for the home. The Girl Scout troop sup plies her with Jolly chums of her own age In working out this preparation. It supplies the "gang spirit" and gives her merit badges to show that aht has useful knowledge. Can she get this at home? The next thing you want la a fair and square sort of girl. Girl Scouts teach It to each other, better than It can be done by talking about It. Teach play under the direction of trained leaders is an unconscious school for a life tn a grand democracy that was never so much needed as now. The; can't do this all by them selves. . Give Olrl Scouts a leader, a council of Interested women to help her out with advice, experience and cooperation, and the financial back ing of the town In which they live, and they will do the rest. They have the organization, training and camps, centers in every state of the union. They are growing faster and bigger and bigger. They want to grow better and better.
