F. W. Davies on the ad- vantages and necessity of "camp life" from the standpoint of the boy and girl, Reading this article, I was reminded of a visit I was privileged to pay Indian Hill camp, which is conducted by "Chief" Davies, where I witnessed, first hand, the spirit and enthusiasm of these boys in camp. It would be a revelation to any parent to sit on the sidelines and watch the activities of the boys in the atmosphere and sur- roundings of this camp. There were about thirty boys in all, with their counselors, all sun-tanned-- the picture of health--enjoying the real he-boy sports provided, expressing themselves in their natural way, yet with that spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship which speaks for the excellent training they are under. While, from the standpoint of the boys, Indian Hill camp comprises everything that goes with real he-boy camping, there is yet another side -- the impressions of which will remain for a long time. As the day closes and the boys gather around their nightly camn- fires with their little impromptu reci- tations, acts, etc., at the close of which the chief, talking the boys' language, gives them a real heart to heart and character building talk, comes the real serious side of the boy. The intent interest he displays in these talks can- not help but impress one with the fact that he is firm in his convictions of the more serious side of life, and the deep impressions created are evidenced from time to time in conversations among the boys. As with a lusty "Good Night, Chief," they scatter to their respective tents, standing alone by the dimming embers of the campfire one realizes the many advantages to be gained by the boy under this sort of direction. The parents, particularly of Win- netka, can well be proud that there is such a camp as Indian Hill under the direction of a man the caliber of "Chief" Davies. Your boy and mine will be the better man for the experi- ence. --R. H. D. Hubbard Woods.
