Kinney Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of four articles by Charles A. Kin- ney on boys' camps. As a camp director for the past six years, and as a teacher for nine years in three internationally recognized progressive schools, Win- netka, Francis W. Parker, and the Marietta Johnson school at Fairhope, Ala., Mr. Kinney has had an unusual opportunity for intimate study of the pre-adolescent boy. What the Mother Should Expect of the Boys' Camp One of our foremost educators, a woman with an international reputa- tion for her work with children, re- marked recently that for her the ideal school would be composed entirely of orphans, her reason being that in such a school she would not have to con- sider the parents, but could devote her entire time to the education of the children. From present indications the possi- bility of running schools and camps without taking into consideration the parents is extremely remote, assuming its desirability, of which there is room for question. Hence it becomes in- cumbent upon camp directors to ac- quaint mothers as fully as possible with the aims of the camp and the means of realizing these aims. The relation of camp director to mother implies a number of responsi- bilities and obligations on the part of each. Definite Responsibility When the mother turns over to the camp the care of her lad she does so with the full expectation and right to expect that at all times until his re- turn he will be under the watchful guidance of responsible leaders. She has a right to expect that he will return in the best of physical condition, barring causes over which the camp has no control. As a matter of fact the average boy stands far less chance of illness or accident in any first class camp than he does at home. The mother has a right to expect that her boy will have an abundance of first quality wholesome food, including a variety of seasonable fruits and green vegetables, all well prepared and served under conditions that make for whole- above described be made, the ordinance for the same being on file in the office of the Village Clerk of said Village, and the 'said Village having applied to the Superior Court of Cook County. Illinois, for an assessment of the cost of said improvement according to the benefits, and a special assessment therefor having been made and returned to said Court, the final hearing thereon will be held on the fifteenth day of May, A. D. 1928, or as soon thereafter as the business of said Court will permit. All persons desiring may file objections in said Court before said day and mav appear on the hearing and make their defense. Said ordinance provides for the collection of said assess- ment in ten (10) annual installments, with interest thereon at the rate of five per centum (5%) per annum.

Pope, 610 Longwood avenue, entertained the thrift com- mittee of Glen Cote Thrift shop at luncheon yesterday. The regular meet- ing of the committee was held in the afternoon. some, hearty appetites, and a zest to the boy's enjoyment of his food. Watch Health Conditions She has a right to expect that the drinking water shall be absolutely safe, that the sleeping accommodations shall be warm and dry, and that every necessary precaution shall be taken to assure plenty of restful, regular hours of sleep. She has the right to expect that the sanitary conditions of the camp shall be maintained at all times at a level that will assure the health of the camp. She has the right to expect that her boy will live a well-balanced life, with plenty of rest, a variety of activities, and that his waking hours will be fully occupied, not alone in "having a good time," but that each day he will have some definite responsibilities, sharing in the job of keeping his tent orderly, and deing his part of the routine necessary to the camp welfare. The mother has a right to expect that her son, particularly if he be a young lad, shall have definite periods of rest, and that he shall not be permitted to take prolonged trips away from camp. Few boys under twelve can stand being away from the regu- larity of life at camp for more than three days without becoming physically exhausted. The mother has the right to expect that the director of the camp shall at all times exercise his best judgment in handling any situation involving her son, whether it be an emergency illness or a matter of discipline. Spiritual Growth Important And finally, the mother has a right to expect that the spiritual growth of her boy shall be assured by daily association only with boys and leaders of splendid character and fine ideals, leaders who have a genuine delight in working with boys, and who have a discriminating sense of beauty, not alone in nature but in courtesy, gen- erosity, and all fine human relations. These are the fundamental condi- tions underlying the successful camp experience of any boy, and any camp that fails to measure up to these conditions to that extent fails as a camp. In the next issue I shall discuss "What the Camp Director Expects of the Mother." Skokie Pupils to Observe Music Week With Two Programs Two assembly programs will be pre- sented by children of the Skokie school during the coming week in ob- servation of National Music week. Both programs are sponsored by the Music club of the school and have been arranged entirely by committees appointed by the club. The first pro- gram, under the direction of Donald Rumsey, will be presented at 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The program will be as follows: Piano Solo, "Gavotte? ... "+ Bach Sara-Jane Haven Chorale, "Deck Thyself" i Bach Harry Brown, Carroll Murphy and Jackie Odell "Minuet from E-Flat Symphony".. .. Mozart and Page Mergentheim Violin Sextet, "Cardle Song" ..Brahms Chorale, "Three Voices" ....Brahms Twelve Girls Duet, A Cappella, "Cossack Lullaby" Susanne Peirce and Evelyn Totman Clarinet Duet, "O, Wert Thou in the 'Cauld Blast" ...... Mendelssohn Hugh Flemming and Ted Wachs The second assembly program, .| which will be given on Friday morn- ing and was arranged by a committee of which Helen Fulton was chairman, will involve every musical organization of the school in an assembly sing. Both the band and orchestra will furnish some of the accompaniment. SCOUTING, COMMUNITY'S OWN PROGRAM FOR BOYS Community Utilizes the Boy Scout Program in the En- richment of Its Boy Life Scouting is a program used by the churches, schools and other service in- stitutions of a community, under the leadership of their own men in enrich- ing the lives of their own boys. Scouting is the boy in the man reaching out to the man in the boy--a fine mature man with a rich back- ground of experience and understand- ing, helping a group of boys to make the interpretations of life's meaning. Starting in the boy world of knots and signal flags and fun, the Scout- ing experience takes a boy into the field of idealism and purposefulness. Scouting starts where boys are and leads them in the direction of the sort of manhood that America needs. Ability-Knowledge-Spirit A boy cannot be a Scout merely by doing certain things or by knowing certain things. The important thing about a Scout is that he must be some- thing. Not ability alone nor knowledge alone, but ability and knowledge cou- pled up with the right spirit is the aim of Scouting. Scouting came to America 18 years ago because America needed to mob- ilize her boyhood toward a richer man- hood. In those few short years the Scout program has come to be used by more and more churches and schools as their program for the de- velopment of their boys. Scouting has grown by leaps and bounds and has enrolled in its membership several millions of men and boys. The North Shore Area council is a group of representative public-spirited citizens of the north shore towns from Wilmette to Lake Bluff and {from Glenview to Libertyville. The council is an inter-troop service association in which the men interested in the vari- ous troops are uniting in a solid front to co-operate in enriching and ex- tending the Scout programs; in aiding institutions which are conducting Scout troops; in strengthening the hand of the volunteer Scout leader; and in vitally enriching the program of every Scout. Council Organization ; The officers are: Karl D. King, presi- dent; Dan G. Stiles, treasurer; George Harbaugh, commissioner; Albert P. Snite, past president; vice-presidents: M. J. Traub, Highland Park; Charles Steele, Glencoe; William Casselberry, Take Forest: W. 'R. .Bimson, Lake Bluff; Harry Mons, Kenilworth; E. A. Ortmayer, Highwood; F. G. Piepen- brok, Deerfield; O. Mueller, North- brook; P. J. Beda, Glenview; Paul Ray, Libertyville, and C. A. Jevne, Mundelein. Scouting is not another institution or organization with buildings and equipment. It is rather a program available for the use of every insti- tution already existing in the com- munity. Protestant, Catholic and Jew- ish churches, public and private schools in city and country and among all colors and races, find Scouting a pro- gram which they can use under their own leadership in enriching the lives of their own boys. It is NOT something that 'we may employ a man to do, because Scout- ing is a team-work program in which many men have a part. These men give to boyhood the sort of leadership that cannot be employed. Big men give themselves as Scout volunteers in the service of their community and their nation. The alumnae of Gamma Phi Beta sorority are giving a card party the afternoon and evening of May 12.
