PAGE FOUR Exit summer and swimmingâ€"enâ€" ter September and schools â€"with the Girl Scouts everywhere preparâ€" ing to assume once more their old familiar role of school girls. Soon, approximately 500,000 of America‘s sevenâ€"toâ€"eighteenâ€"yearâ€"old . girlhood will again assemble their books, forâ€" tified by a long summer. of Girl Scouting, in which outdoor camping has played a greater part than ever before. Some people think that the movement flourishes ofly in the sumâ€" merâ€"time; that schooling and Girl Scouting are not compatible. Communications intended for publication must be written on one side of the paper oniy rwxr-â€"ruâ€"hflw&mmuufi'fl m Alcoes Ioct mealonarant‘e Te tomik s On the contrary, while school has its season and camping its season, Girl Seouting belongs to every seaâ€" son. From September to June, it supplements the school, the two working hand in hand toward creâ€" ating a richer life for the girl. In school, the approach to that life is through the discipline of lectures, study and doing. In Girl Scoutâ€" ing, the approach is through recreâ€" ation and permitting the girl a free choice in the selection of those acâ€" tivities which she thinks would be most fun to learn. And lest anyone think that Amerâ€" ican girls, given a choice of things to do, will choose only games and athletics, records of the Girl Scout organization last year showed that the preponderance of tastes ran to homemaking activities, and that more badges were awarded in this field than in any other. Girl Scouts were busy about many thingsâ€"but were busiest about cooking and the study of foods, housekeeping, sewâ€" ing, and learning how to entertain. For ‘whether the girl looks forward either to making her own home, or to a career, a knowledge of these Girl Scout News VOTEYES VOTE Watch for the pamphlet which your county clerk or election commisâ€" sioners will mail to you before October 1. This pamphlet will contain the present provisions of our State Constitution relating to banking, the proâ€" posed Amendment, the explanation of the Amendment, the arguâ€" ment of the General AssemHMly in favor of the Amendment, and the form in which the proposal will appear on the ballot at the General Election on Nov. 8. â€" Read it and be inâ€" formed on this quesâ€" tion.

Becond Class Mamer March 1, 1911, at the Post Office at Highiand Purk, Miinoi# THE HICHLAND PARK PRESS YES vor $1.50 per year 185 N. Wabash Ave., Suite 901 â€" Tel. State 6826 Ihie Willoughly ‘Fower * â€" *‘ Tel Gontisl HHf These are some of the reasons why the educators of the country have found Girl Scouting a desirâ€" able adjunct to the school curricuâ€" lum. They believe it helps to keep the girl mentally alert, creating a more desirable student by reason of the experience it gives in coâ€" operative »play and work, in which youth learns to forego personal deâ€" sires to meet the will of the majorâ€" ity; to be both a good winner and a good loser. Not long ago, a Girl Scout in Altoona, Pa., used her troop hours to supplement her school work in a novel way. In her science course, she had been assigned a project in chemistry involving the analysis of water. Capitalizing on the counâ€" try hikes taken with her troop, she tested the drinking water in various localities. Her companions grew interested, and before they knew it, the troop had made a water surâ€" vey of the entire county. The affinity between education and Girl Scouting is constantly. be ing evidenced by such things as the provision made by a great majority of schools for troop meeting places; by the inclusion of Girl Scouting in many schools as an eXtraâ€"curricâ€" ular activity; by the great number of teachérs throughout the counâ€" try who are also qualified Girl Scout leaders (except for housewives, the largest majority); by the many members of boards of education, principals and superintendents_who serve on volunteer Girl out counâ€" cils and troop committees. Where home economics is taught in the schools, the Girl Scout proâ€" gram supplements what has been learned by affording an opportuâ€" nity to practice it in conjunction with other skills. A part of school hours, for example, may this fall be devoted to the study of eooking. When Girl Scouting hours begin, the troop may plan to give a dinâ€" ner to their parents. They will gook the dinner themselves; but all sorts of other responsibilities will arise. The invitations must be issued in good form; the marketing must be done; the room attractively preâ€" pared; flowers must be arranged; the guests properly received, and the meal well served. Should school teach the Girl Scout something of sewing, she may find the joy of creation in her leisure hours by joining with her troop members in choosing, designing, and making the curtains for their Girl Scout "Little House." In a Nashville, Tenn., high school, the students felt the ned of greatâ€" er social activity._outside of school hours. The school‘s Senior Girl Scout troop met to discuss the probâ€" lem, and proposed a "hayride and barn dance." From this proposal arose the necessity of investigating transportation costs, and arranging for music and refreshments, bringâ€" ing all within a limited price. As a result, two wagonâ€"loads of happy high school students, boys and girls, set off for a nearby village where an old fiddler set the pace for counâ€" try dancing. things, she knows, will be an asset in both. Several colleges today include in their curricula special courses in Girl Scout leadership, notably Stanâ€" ford university, California. Cerâ€" tain school principals even consider a teacher‘s knowledge of Girl Scoutâ€" ing so important that they have included it as a credit toward obâ€" taining a position on the faculty. Not long ago one school which reâ€" quired teacherâ€"attendance at a sumâ€" mer session, gave, as an alternaâ€" tive, attendance at a Girl Scout training course. perrired of enterlainments, or other 35-_-_‘-_:‘_-_'-;_._.&..,.......«...-. ousphones? ‘uighined Park "tev 400 44e Antiâ€"Back Ache @ SELF SKIRT MARKER Open: WEEK DAYS 9 1. m. to 6 p. m.
