 ouilt, also how to use the tools. 



In cutting down the trees they were 

 taught to handle an ax properly. In build- 

 ing the lence, they were not only taught 

 the use of tools, but also to create something 

 worth while out of forest waste, besides 

 greatly beautifying the camp site, by the 

 removal of unsightly trees, and all the 

 time whil improving the camp they were 

 passing their tests. 



A class was taught how to draw maps. 



Do you know how to mount weeds, 

 leaves, flowers, grasses and insects? Take 

 stiff cardboard for the back, cut to size you 

 need. Next, place a layer of cotton of 

 same size over the cardboard, then place 

 your specimen on the cotton. Next, place 

 a sheet of celluloid, such as is used in 

 auto tops, and which can be purchased 

 where auto tops are made, over all and 

 bind edges together with passe partout 

 binder. 



This will make either a valuable troop 

 exhibit or one for your own collection.

I CAN see you now, sitting around your 

 evening camp-fire, telling the others 

 what new something you found during 

 the day, and what treasure hunt you would 

 go on tomorrow, and just as you begin to 

 feel drowsy and talk slows up, some small 

 boy, who had stretched out on the flat of 

 his back, all of a sudden, as the campfire 

 flares up, points up and asks you in a 

 hushed voice, "What's that?" You gaze 

 in the direction the finger points, and there 

 you see, circling this way and that, a beau- 

 tiful Luna moth. As you gaze and wish 

 that you might have it for your own col- 

 lection, the bugler, in low, mellow tones, 

 begins to sound taps, and while rising to 

 retire to your tent, I can hear you softly 

 singing to the tune the bugler is playing: 



"Day is done, gone the sun 



From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky. 



All is well, safely rest, 



God is nigh." 



As you lie on your cot or bed of Balsam 

 boughs, you wonder what tomorrow will 

 have in store for you, and it occurs to you 

 that you were going to collect specimens 

 of wood and leaves of different trees, to 

 build an exhibit for your troop meeting 

 room^ like the one you read about in the 

 May number of The American Forestry 

 Magazine, that you had not started, and 

 turning over on your elbow, you tell Bill 

 or John that you will have to get busy on 

 the wood collection, and it may surprise 

 you to learn that Bill already has ten speci- 

 mens, all carefully packed and labeled. 



In the August number I will tell you how 

 trees travel and what story a walnut tree 

 told me. There will also be an article on 

 moths and how to triount them.
