Tuesday in the Scouts’ Camp.

Hot! Hoter!! Hottest!!!. A liberal supply of ice brought out to camp by W. J. Wright helped keep the temperature of the boys as low as possible. The hot, dry weather added another swimming period to the schedule of the day. A number of the boys took their Scout ,tests ’uring the day. WMle the boys have a good time they have their work and study periods. One of the many tasks of the boys is to keep the camp grounds and tents clean. The games are interesting in the early morning and late in the evening, so as to avoid the heat in the middle of the day.

The following persons visited the camp: Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Reed, Mrs. Adams, Dr. M. D. Gwin, Dr. I. M.
