As such it seems most fitting that students should be given some advice as to the use of this innovation in school life. The main purpose of the library is for research work in the different subjec-ts and for this reason it is plentifully .supplied with encyclopedias and reference books. It can also be used as a place for recre- ation and reading, since it is stocked with many magazines and a few novels by well- known authors. The library should not be used as a place for social gatherings, however, for the noise of whispering and occasional laughter is very disturbing to the student who is there to really study. Moreover, it should not be used as a means of getting one's Math or English done by someone else. Instead, the pupil slhould go to the teacher -of that subject who is always ready to help. Much credit is due Mrs. Bryant, I be- lieve, for the time spent in making the library as attractive and useful as it is. Glenn Wellman, '32. 'YT THE GIRL SCOUTS HE Pioneer Troop of Girl Scouts meets each Wednesday afternoon at 4:15 P. M. They hold their meetings at tlhe Community House, a convenient place well adapted to Scout Work. The Girl Scouts are extremely fortunate to have a most enthusiastic and helpful captain, Mrs. Helen Leavitt Corey. Both the lieutenants are Normal girls who are much interested in the work. Under the guidance of these leaders, approximately thirty girls are registered. Th-e troop is divided into four patrols with a maximum of eight girls each. Each patrol has selected a patrol leader and she in turn chooses an- assistant. Tlhese girls are responsible for making their patrol what they want it to be. Their is only one qualification to mem- bership in the Girl Scouts, and that is a minor one, i. e. age limit. One must be at least ten years of age to be admitted, and after eighteen, one is barred. 'Ilhe mem- bership dues are fifty cents a year, which is sent to the National organization. Be- sides that, to keep a small sum in the treas- ury, each girl brings five cents every sec- ond meeting. Perhaps one unwritten qualification is to live up to the Promise: On my honor I will try to do my duty to God and my country, to lhelp other people at all times, and to obey the Girl Scout laws . The first stepping stone in Scouting is to pass the Tenderfoot test. This includes
