We all have to do our parts in this community. The young women of the organization do the cooking and the sweeping for the entire camp. They are divided into squads.

You will have to be up and ready for your duties by six o'clock in the morning when you are Workers." "Oh, my goodneth, I couldn't do that," exclaimed Grace. "Each girl must do her part. The rules of the camp will be explained to you to-morrow. But I am quite sure the Meadow-Brook Girls will make a delightful addition to Camp Wau-Wau." "We shall do our best, Mrs. Livingston," Harriet assured her with eyes fixed on the face of the Chief Guardian. |
