GRADUATION ECHOES (Continued from first page.) more easily aid them in solving their difficulties. The Camp Fire Girls are divided Into three classes or ranks: the Wood Gatherers, the Fire Makers, and the Toreh Bearers. Besides these there is a probationary class composed of new recruits who have not yet earned the title of Wood Gatherer. When a girl joins the organization she promises to obey the law of the Camp Fire, which is to seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, be happy. Before becoming a Wood Gatherer, which is the lowest rank of the Camp Fire, a girl must fulfill six requirements, among which are the selection of a name and symbol and the making of a headband".' Upon meeting these requirements she receives the Wood Gatherer's ring, which is silver and represents the seven points of the law in seven fagots bound together, with work, health and love in three raised circles on either side of the fagots. The candidate for the rank of Fire Maker, which is the second rank in the organization, must be at least thirteen years old. Among the requirements for the rank are, cooking and serving two meals for the meetings of the Camp Fire, mending a pair of stockings and keeping an account of all money received and spent for a month. The highest rank is that of Torch Bearer. The candidate for this rank must be of at least fifteen years of age, and must be known to the guardian as trustworthy, happy, unselfish, a good leader, and liked by the other girls, for she is an assistant to the guardian. Each Camp Fire has a name, which may be suggested by the industries or name of the locality, or . by some legend. For instance, in one of the Western States there is a little valley called by the Indian name of Alsea, meaning peace. It received this name because, according to an old Indian legend, no 1 matter how fierce the war between the neighboring tribes, in this valley the Indians were always at peace. The Camp Fire organized i here took its name from the name of the valley and has as a symbol two low brown triangles, with bases touching, to suggest the valley between the mountains. ( A Camp Fire girl either chooses or winB her own name and svmboj, which stands for the qualities or accomplishments by which she wishes to be known. One girl cliose flie Indian word "Wanaka" or sun halo;! while another chose Pakwa, the Indian name for frog, for its skill in diving; and still another took her name from the words "needed and cheerful," two qualities for which she wjshed to be known, and now she is called Neachee. Oftentimes when a girl has chosen her name too hastily, she becomes dissatisfied with "it and wishes to change it for a new * one. In such a ease the guardian writes the old name on a piece of a paper, explains the reason for the ehange. and throws the paper into the fire in the presence of all the girls. This is a sign that the name is gone forever and must never be s mentioned bv the girls again : hereafter she is to be known by her new name. This is only one of the many beautiful and "picturesque ceremonials which are a part of the Camp Fire program and which make the organization interesting and attractive to girls. I There are numerous lists of tests called honors, for which reward t heads of different colors are given. Thus a girl accomplishing some test in home craft, such as cooking, laundering, or other house work. - receives a flame colored bead ; one winning an honor in business, a yellow bead : in health craft, a red bead, and so on through the lists. In this way the girls become interested in many things to which they would not otherwise pay much attention. By means of the reward bead plan and other systems the girls become interested in work and are taught its true value. They discover that work is honorable, and not degrading and worthy of scorn. Though at first they perform their j tasks merely to secure the beads or other rewards, they gradually grow to like work and perform a •t task for the joy of achievement, to The Camp Fire movement afw fords many girls the means of wholesome recreation and outdoor t- exercise. Many of the summer A camps for girls have organized Camp Fires and almost every — -camp spends at least a part of the summer in one of these

camps or in, a camp of its own. The i girls swim, row, go canoeing, and ] indulge in many other sports 1 which they thoroughly enjoy and 1 ' which develop them "physically and I make them. healthy and hearty. 1 By this life in the gamps and by 1 - means of occasional trips into the , forests and fields to study nature, < s the girls become well versed in 1 » wood craft and nature lore. Many 1 ' girls become expert in taming ana < 1 training the timid wild creatures. ( 5 Not only do the girls study these « ' two branches of nature, but they t ' delve into astronomy and the sci- 1 i eiiees as well. They always work j 1 and play in such a manner that 1 : they are as well developed mental- t ly as physically. 1 "First aid tq the injured" also ( [ forms a part of Camp Fire educa- i 1 tion and is included in the honor < i testa. These tests teach the girls < 1 how to care for burns, bruises and < various wounds. Consequently, | 5 the girls have more confidence in 1 ; themselves and are much better 1 3 fitted for life because they know j . what to do* in case of an emergen- < 1 cy. < ; But the Camp Fire movement is « . not merely practical ; it is idealistic as well. It tends to arouse and de- ] f velop that quality tying dormant ( 1 in so many of our citizens, the love < i of beauty and of the ideal. , People j j of other countries remark, more < and more, on the extremely com- 1 r inercial attitude and character of 1 the American people. The beauty 1 j of the Camp Fire ceremonials and < ,• the striving toward the ideal which 1 . is a part of the Camp Fire creed < 1 cannot fail to have its part in ; s counteracting this materialistic 1 j tendency, and in giving to our < 1 girls a higher and nobler concep- 1 tion of life. i As a result of the outdoor life ; ; and the .general training of the 1 C amp Fire, the girls are benefitted ] physically, mentally, and morally; . and the lessons taught them while 1 r members of the Camp Fire are les- 1 j sons which will be valuable | s throughout their entire life. It is 1 i no wonder, then, that when we i t consider the great good already 1 _ done and the still greater benefit 1 , to follow, we gladly welcome the i , Camp Fire Girls and hope that i . their influence will greatly in- j t crease. i 1 v. 1 , THE SCHOOL AS A j SOCIAL CENTER < 1 By Audrey Warner, second honors j Not until very recent years was , 5 there much emphasis put on the | fact that recreation is necessary to , p health. A century ago even the s j busiest life was calm and quiet as ] 1 compared with the noisy, bustling ] p existence of today. Doctors have t 3 come to realize that there is in- j finitely more nervous energy ex- , pended in living at the present , j time than formerly and for that • j reason the subject of recrea- , j tion has been given a | j great deal of attention by f j those who are interested in the , preservation of health. The ques- , t tion no longer is "Do we need rec- , p reation?" but "What kind of ree- < , reation do we need, and where are , f we to find it?" In the past few p years, these questions have been , r, partially answered by providing e wholesome amusement under the P auspices of the public school, which e is thus made to serve the purpose of a social center, r Cape May might well follow the e example of other places and use its e public school as a social center, e The plan is all the more fitted to h our city, because we have fewer g places than the average city of our size, where recreation can be obs tained. Where can a person after d a hard days' work find recreation? 1. Think over the opportunities e which Cape May offers in the winter time. Practically the only c, places for a social good time are e the moving pictures and the a churches, and there are various d reasons why neither of these en- !. tirely meets the needs of Cape •- May. Take the moving pictures. y Do they furnish the right kind of :- recreation to all classes of people? No. they do not. for in the first d nlace thev do not appeal to every - s one equally. For another reason. € they arc not within the means of s. everyone. Of course, the admisd sion is only ten eents for each per1. formancc. but a poor family canr not always afford the ten cents, ir This means that the hard-working y laborer who needs recreation the most, is the least able to obtain it. Then. too. even for those who can f. afford to patronize the moving pic»f ture theatres, there is an objection ir in the shape of poor films. Not •r everybody enjoys the pictures of d drunkenness and mnrder which y are so often shown. The pictures, rt too, are not true to life. They por*e tray the most daring feats and the

most improbable rescues. These pictures are not really hurtful to ■ the older people for they know that the scenes are exaggerated, the children think them true , and thus get a wrong impression of , The churches offer even fewer ■ opportunities for recreation, than the moving pictures. Social clubs , organized in the various ; churches, yet they do not reach all , classes of people, -for they are gen- j erally open to the members of that church only. And, even if they 1 open to others, do you sup- 1 that a Methodist would feel j at home 'at one of the Bocial gafch- ] erings at the Baptist -church, or a 1 Baptist in the Presbyterian? No ; doubt, all the menfberr of; the Tar- , lious churches try*to make a Strang- ; feel welcome at their social gatherings, still few people feel at liberty to take advantage of the entertainments in churches other than their own. Then, what about the people who go to no church at all? To this group of people the doors of the church are practically closed as far as recreation is concerned. Added to the fact that Cape has few places of recreation of its own, is the fact that it is eighty-nine miles from Philadelphia. A large city affords many 1 different kinds of amusements, such as the theatre and the opera, where one can go to spend a pleasant and profitable evening. If Cape May were a suburban town, own lack of recreational facilities would not be so deplorable, for it would be easy to go into the city* to see a good play or hear a ' concert, but the train service and the length and expense of the trip cut off this means of enjoyment for us. Consequently, we are left with inadequate opportunities for pleasure. The lack of provision for recreation in Cape May has been the means of causing young people to to places where they should not i be found. "Why is it that the young congregate at the cigar stores and pool rooms? Why do the young people collect in groups on the street corners ? For the Bimple that they have no other place in which to spend their spare moments, and thus they meet in these places to talk. Plainly something should be done to better these conditions. no startling change can be made at once, but for a first move we might try- an experiment that has proved successful in many cities, and that is to open the school building to the general public for a thorough good time, at one evening a week. The school seems the best and most logplace for a social center, where everyone would be welcome to go and spend a pleasant evening. is plenty of room for fun of all kinds; in the main room of the building, there is a piano, whieh is always an attraction to both young ' and old. Many a pleasant evening can be spent around the piano singing. In the school building, should feel at liberty to sing ■ the catchy, ragtime songs, whieh would not seem suitable for the 1 church. Then, in the sehool, all the young people would feel per- ! fectly at home, for they are used 1 to it and know every part of it ' from top to bottom. The most important reason of all why the • school would be the most logical 5 place is that it is'a public building. . maintained by all the taxpayers of > the city, and a building in which r everybody has an interest. p Probably the best time for this - social gathering would be Friday r evening, for then the young people ! who go to school would not lie kept 3 away by lessons. Of course, it - would be best to have these parties ,* supervised. We could play games ; of all kinds, and we could have a ? good time singing the songs that s everyone knows. There might also • be a class in folk dancing, which ; would be sure to be popular. !. For those who like a quieter f 1 form of recreation, , the library ? might be used as a reading room to t wliich one could go to read the - books or any of t lie fine collection . of magazines which the school ref ceives regularly. This would prob- - ably please the older folk and the - younger ones too, who did not care - to join in the games or singing, i. The school has a large variety of I magazines and almost anyone, eithe er young or old, would find them . very interesting as well as instruca tive' on some of the present day - problems. a We cannot say that this plan is t going to work wonders, and keep f the boys away from the cigar h stores and pool rooms, or keep all i, the young people off the street cor- •- ners, but it is a plan, which has e been tried in other cities and has

proved successful in providing good, wholesome amusement is a place where eYetyone- is -welcome: This plan of using the school m a social center would also draw the older people into. closer relations with the younger ones by bringing them together at these patries, and would cause the older ones to become better acquainted and thus make them more ready to work together for the good of the community. There is no reason why the school used as a social center should not do for Cape May what has «done for other cities. Supported by the citizens, it shoulfL be means of bettering the facilities for recreation, and should prove an important factor in the social of Cape May. - GASTORIA Fsr Infants and Children In Um For <h»r 30Y«ws CAPE MAY CO BITTY diJtCUfT COURT Ernest W.
