GIRL SCOUTS.
MOVEMENT IN CANTERBURY. (From Oi-r Own Correspondent ) CHRISTCHURCH. December 4. MKs Muriel Cossgrove has interested a number of the Rangioia High School girls in the girl scout movement, and on Wednesday 14 of them were addressed by Major Copfcgiove on the aims and objects of the scheme us applied to girls. He dwelt at considerable length on the benefits which the girls themselves would obtain by becoming scouts, saying that their health would improve, they would become pelf-reliant, observant, courageous, and independent, and the training would fit them for any position they might be called upon to fill in after life. Their encouragement of everything that was good and their discountenancing everything that was evil would, in time, have a marked effect upon other young people. At the close of the address two patrols were sworn in. It is expected that another patrol will be formed soon, and will complete probably the first troop of girl scoutg in the Dominion.
