Here are represented three great movements. They are School Gardening, the Boy Scouts, and the Camp Fire Girls. School gardening is one of the newest movements in this country. In Europe, especially in Switzerland, it is much older. Every boy and girl likes to dig in the ground in the spring of the year. We all like to see things grow. We like to have something of our own to tend. This is what the school garden permits. WE not only have fun out of this kind of work, but we learn much about plants, and we grow many vegetables that are sold. IN the larger cities, vacant lots are used for these gardens. The vegetables are marketed, and the money is used to buy books or pictures for the school, or is turned over to the children who raised the crop. The Boy Scout movement is also a recent one.

A number of men claim the honor of starting it. In England, Sir Baden-Powell was one of the first to understand that value of banding boys together. In this country Dan Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton started the movement. Boys from 12 to 18 years of age may belong to the boy scouts. To be a Scout a boy must be patriotic, helpful, courteous, obedient, and kind to animals. He must know how to give first aid to the injured, how to signal, and how to build a camp. Ask a Boy Scout, if you are not one, to tell you what he does. The Camp Fire Girls is a movement similar to that of the Boy Scouts. The law of the Camp Fire is: the seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be industrious, hold onto health, glorify work, and be happy.
