"The ease of modern life tends to soften us. We need more of the sort of ruggedness that comes so intimately into the.life of Abraham Lincoln. All of us need to develop more of that self-reliance, alertness and initiative that marked the pioneer. We need to develop our powers of imagination, so that we can see life ahead as holding great possibilities for us. "Scouts in troops and patrols go on hikes into woodland and streamland. They hunt out the byways, the un- frequented places, alert to discover new and interesting things. "In a recent issue of 'Nature Maga- zing, Henry Wellington Wack, pub- lished a splendid article on the 'Ten Commandments of the Trail' in which he said: 'Don't go walking to beg a ride. The automobile hiker is a fraud. Naturally, Scouts who go on a hike, want to hike, and not to ride. "Usually they hike where automo- biles can't go, avoiding the highways and beaten paths. "Scout troops of the north shore are particularly fortunate in having so many beauty spots within hiking dis- tance." Richard Taylor, Oak street, Evans- ton, formerly of Kenilworth, left March 24 on a nine weeks' trip. ONEY --Well Spent Is ~Earned and Saved Why so little bread baked in the modern home?
