Interesting data. concerning‘ Girl
Scout work is contained in the an-
nual report of Mrs. Clara B. Russell.
retiring secretary, which was read at
the annupl meeting of the Girl Scout
Council held yesterday. This report
touches on the work accomplished
in the p ‘ year and a. half.
The to) report follows:
“The outstanding feature of our
Scout work during the past year and
a half is the' establishment of a
camp. togethcr with Bridgeport and
Westport councils. Last summer it
was situated at Ball's Pond near
Danbury. ‘This summer it is to be at
\Vaubeeka Lake on )the Danbury
road. Due to the efficient work of
the Finance committee and to the
always generous response of the pub-
lic to a worthwhile cause, our dream
of two years has been realised.
“Too much credit cannot be giv-
en lo the Camping committee who
worked early and late to put this
dream into practical shape.
"More and more we are entering
into National State Scouting activi-
ties. “‘e have been represented at
the last two National Conventions.
and a. number of our captains have
attended National Training Camps.
"The State Group Conference
committee meetings have been held
regularly this past year. This Coun—
cll has been represented at these
conferences and our work reported
upon. ‘
“That which is of chief interest to
most of us. local scouting has been
growing steadily. evidences not so
much by the. increased number of
scouts, as by character development
in he ideals and in all those earn-
est y working to uphold the high
ideals of scouting.
““‘e number now 167 registered
scouts. 18 officers. ll troops with
two new ones forming. There have
been eight new officers trained by
Mrs. Munro this year. but there is
still need of more as from time to
time other duties call our captains
away from active scout work Ind the
forming of new troops is prevented
by lack of officers.

The 1924 expedition expects to re-

support of the theory that he first

10 to 25 million years ago.
' liendt‘d by Mr. Andrews. the party
will include lb scientists who are g:-

"The‘Council has entertained the

at two supper parties. These oppor-
tunities for becoming better ac-
quainted. together with the godmoth.

draw the two branches of scouting
closer in mutual interest and under~
standing.
“We are fortunate in having Miss
Mary Owen with us for a few months
doing volunteer work at a time when
this. help is. much needed. Under
Miss Owen's direction the scouts re-
centiy'gave a most' interesting exhi-
bition or their work in all its
branbhes. -
"The Court of Awards has worked
steadily, arranging examinations in
the different branches of scouting
and awarding during the year 70
merit badges. A public meeting of
the Court of Awards was held in
April at the Armory at which time
the first medal of merit awarded a
Norwallr. Scout. Elizabeth Saunders
of Troop 10. Merit badges and first
and second class badges were also
given out by our Deputy Commis-
sioner Mrs. Cavanagh.
“Through the generous co-opera-
tion of the local branch of the Red
Cross and of Dr. Morrison. a. class
in first aid was held this winter.
"There has been also instruction
in first. class work for the captains
given by Miss Gray of national head-
quarters.
"Our Publicity committee through
Its interesting articles in the press
has kept before the public the activ-
ities and needs of the Girl Scouts.
"A committee from this Council
co-operating with local societies has
started a. movement for better and
more suitable moving pictures for
young people. ~
"Our thanks ar'e gratefully given
to National Headquarters for its
rendy response to all appeals for
help and advice: to our former Ro-
gienal Director. Miss Bandiford_ for
her invaluable moral and practical
help: to all those who have acted as
examiners for Merit badges: to the
local branch of the Red Cross for
opening to the scouts its training
courses in first aid: to the. press for
its courtesy in allowing us frequent
space in its columns; and to the pub-
lic of Norwslk without \vrose gen;
crous response to our lppeais for
money and help this great work for
girls of our city could not be carried

One of the, things brought out at
the annual meeting was the recom-

But the 192‘ expedition is not go~
ing to restrict itself to the past. any
more than have its predecessors.
And it is recorded that the last ex—
pedition of the American Museum of
Nulurnl History brought back. in ad-
dition lo the priceless paleonlhol-
ogicnl specimens. thousands of skins
of mammals. birds. fish and reptiles
of living typos. for preservation and
study, as well as tons of geograph-
ically important rocks. sheaves of
maps of newly explored regions. and
specimens of flora and fauna that
never had been classified before.

Mr. Andrews is confident that the
true birthplace of man will be found
in the Gobi Desert. Perhaps not by

that the evidence we have convinces
us we are seeking in the right place.
We are specialising on man. We
never have organiked to hunt his
bones before. We have been more
concerned with the history of rocks
than of humanity.
"Now we are going to the rocks

ly to exist. We think the prospects
justify gambling. although some stu-
dents say we are hunting a needle
