MAGAZINE STORY
TELLS FOUNDI
OF GIRL SCOUTS
Girl Scouta of Med ford and their
friends frel pretty Important thla
week becauw In rpnpoiijn? to their re
quests, find the request of other girls
throughout America, "The American
Girl Magazine" for October contains
the first Installment of the colorful
und dramatic life story of Juliette
Low, founder of Girl Scouting In the
United States, as told by her niece.
Daisy Gordon Lawrence. The story is
of Interest at this time because It
cpmen along with national Girl Scout
Week. October 30 to November a.
Mrs. Low enrolled her niece as the
first Girj Scout, March, 1012, in 8a
vannah, Georgia. Mm. Lawrence has
maintained her Interest In Girl
Bcoutinf? through the years. She Is
Commissioner of the local council at
Huntington, West Virginia. Her Inti
mate, personal knowledge of Girl
Scouting and It founder well quali
fies her to write the story of Juliette
Low.
In "Juliette Low As I Knew Her."
Mrs, Lawrence tells of early adven
tures that foreshadowed the construc
tive fun of Girl Scouting today. Olrl
Scouts of 1012 p toyed their games
behind "huge canvns curtains, strung
on wires ... so as to shield our
bloomered legs from the gaze ot
passersby on the street." Today all
the citizens of Mcdford may see what
the Girl Scouts are doing to serve
others and have good times as they
celebrnte Girl Scout Week.
Girl Scouts who today practice pio
neer virtues and display sturdy pio
neer courage are only following the
examiilo set by the founder of their
organization, according to Mrs. Law
rence. Juliette Low often felt It nec
essary to consult Lord Baden-Powell,
originator of the Idea of Scouting
for boys and girls,
Juliette Low knew how to make life
happy and interesting for girls. When
her niece visited her In England,
they apent a week-end with her
friends, the Ruryird Klpllnqs. Kip
ling entertained the little girl with
murvcloua stories and showed her his
garden.
Juliette Low knew many of the
great men of England and America,
she was a talented sculptor, loved
games, songs and stories, but most
of all, says her niece, she loved girls.
She was deaf, and in her later years
handicapped by illness, but she
worked unceasingly to bring Scout
ing to the girls of America.
