the GIRL-DREAM
THAT CAME TRUE

? Sim ? these has h?*eii organized
a Giil Scout I roup in Murpuv. diis
article i- appropriate to u-c at this
lime. Kd. >
\\ 1 1* * 1 1 I remember the yearning
; heartaches and the baseless vi-ion
of little girls in the not-alwav s-gav
Nineties, our wild hunger to he
busy. to find avenues through which
! to express the powers of our rapid
; growing minds and souls and hod
ies to tramp ami camp ami f i-li and '
swim, to sing ami dance, to into;
j tennis and riding ami boating, to
"dies- up" and cook ami nurse ami
play games
riien I realize that organizations
like that of the Girl Scouts, ? luhs
thai give girl- an enormous and a
! wholesome opportunity for normal,
glorious development, are our old
dream. wonder! ullv ??? ?????? true.
The girls of the "Nineties dream
? d it. The girls of the Niu?'ieen
j twenties live it.
We lived in a different world. It
was a world ??ver-burdened with
hook lessons, a world in which
then* were sly girls and sh\ uirls.
nervou* girls, ami "bilious* girls.
( jealous and ignorant, pimpled and
pale girls. \nd above all. how
mail) lonely, lonely girls there
i were !
W here are they now? One ran
i hard I \ believe in the miracle that ,
! lias, iu tin* course of one short quar
ter-century. produced in their place
Ithis host of radiant, self-reliant,
capable, health) young creatures,
girls in sensible, comfortable cloth
ing. starting off upon every possi
ble holiday for the clean big woods
I or to the wide, winds beaches,
friendly. happy. always-busv girls.
I who don't know what an ache or a
paiu is!
I wonder if we realize we grown
! ups. the share the Girl Scouts have
had in working the change?
Well, perhaps we do. Looking
on wistfullv. admiringly, wonder
inglv. at all their joyous activities,
their eager contests for athletic hon
ors. their capable handling of gas
stoves, accidents, motor-cars, caeip
fires, cameras their amazimrlv wise'
handling of themselves. I think some
of u- do.
For here i- a very clearing;- house
lor girl souls, and ever\ girl in
the world needs il! If she is natu
rally clever, quick, kind, friend 1\ .
.1 horn leader, so much the hetter.
She rises to the top of her group.
And il she is shy. 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.
\\ hen she is sixteen or eighteen,
her mother is going to be frightful I \
anxious about that girl. Then, when
it is loo late, that mother is going
to worn herself sick because Belt*'
has no friends, hates to meet stran
gers, is secretive, is morbid, is a sol
itary, has no resources, dosen't like i
to do what *he 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 tin* group that is
so occupied, so busy and happy, |
right here in the neighborhood. 1
A word in your ear. you mothers.
Girl Scouts respect their bodies, be
cause they know something about
them. The\ respect their country,
because loyally is one of their fun
damental laws. Thev learn to avoid
all the alarming excesses ? the jaz
zing. and petting and drinking and
smoking into ?\hi'h less developed
girls drift so easih a few years la- 1
ter. by substituting a taste for ex
ercise and fresh air. real friend
ships, real activities, real interests.
