genuity to devise, according to the condition and character of their girls and of their surroundings.
In any case the programme of the training should be kept as unlike a school syllabus as possible in order to give it novelty and freshness.
The book is worded in such a way that it can be studied by the girls themselves in the different grades. The paragraphs in italics are more particularly addressed to the Scouters. In conjunction with this book the Book of Rules of the Association should be read, and where there may be any difference in detail between the two the Book of Rules should be taken as the guide, being more frequently under revision and, therefore, up to date; and also the monthly Girl Scouts' Gazette.
For further suggestions on the work of Scouters and their aims and methods see Part IV. Perhaps the most important suggestion that I can offer here to Scouters may be summed up in the motto:—
"Laugh while you work."
