THE GIRL-DREAM

fhen I realize that organizations
like that of the Girl Scouts, dulw
tha! gi\e girls an enormous and a
wholesome opportunilN for normal,
glorious de\elopnient. .ire our old
dream. wotiderfullx come tru?\
The irir I? of the "\ineli?-? dream
? ?I it. The girls of the Nim-ieeii
tw eut ies live it.
We li\ed in a different world. It
w;?s .i world over-hurdened with
hook le? on-, a world in which
there were -ly gills and sh\ girls,
nervoii- girls, and "biliou*" uirls.
jealous ami ignorant, pimpled ami
pale girl-. And aho\e all. how
many lonely, lonely girls there
were!
W here are they now .' One ean
hardlx helieve in the miracle that
has. in the eourse of one short ?piar
tei eentury. produced in their place
this host of radiant, self-reliant.

friendly. happy. always-bus\ ?_rirls.
who don't know what an ache or a
pain is!
I wonder il we realize we grown
ups. tli" share the Girl Scouts have
had in working the change?
Well, perhaps we do. Looking
on wislfullv. admiringly, wondcr
ingly. at .ill their joyous activities,
their eager contests for athletic hon
ors. their capable handling of gas
stoves. accidents, motor-cars, camp
tires, cameras their amazingh wise
handling of themselves. I think some
of u> do.
For iiere \< a ven clearing-house
for girl souls, and even girl in
the world needs it! II she is natu
rally clever, quick, kind, friendlx.
a horn leader, so much the better.
She rises to tin* top of her group.
\nd il she i-; sh\. sickly, awk
ward. suspicious, jealous, nervous,
if she knows nothing of cooking,
camping, swimming, basketball,
hates boys, is ill at ease even with
girls ? then more than ever i* her
membership in the Girl Scouts her
opportunity to learn what she must
learn ? what- sooner or later, I re
peat ? she must learn, if she is to
have a happy and a normal life.
W hen she is sixteen or eighteen,
her mother is going to be frightfully
anxious about that girl. Then, when
it is too late, that mother is going
to worn herself sick because Betty
has no friends, hates to meet stran
gers, is secretive, is morbid, is a sol
itary. has no resources, dosen't like
to do what the other girls do.
But now. just because Betty ei
ther draws back from shyness, or
because Betty's little-girl arrogance
and airs rather repel the other girls,
her mother makes no effort to get
Betty interested in the group that is
so occupied, so busy and happy,
right here in the neighborhood.
A word in your ear. you mothers.
Girl Scouts respect their bodies, be
cause they know something about
them. The) respect their country,
because loyalty is one of their fun
damental laws. They learn to avoid
all the alarming excesses ? the jaz
zing. and petting and drinking and j
smoking into which less developed
girls drift so easil\ a few years la
ter. by substituting a taste for ex
ercise and fresh air, real friend
ships, real activities, real interests.
