So profound an impression is theii departure anticipated to make on the morale of the corps that a move ment was started today by Capt. Joseph J. Staley, U. S. Marine Corps Uesignated “scoutmaster” for the boys by Gen. Cole, to get another group to occupy the camp grounds which the marines installed for the Virginia Scouts. Capt.

All they were required to bring with them were knives, forks and spoons, towels and necessary clothing. For the past week the boys have Dbeen on the run from.¢ a.m. to 10 p.m. Their first job in the morning is to run through a, shower bath erected by the marines from a rubber fire hose. Attached to the hose are elght heads, and by a unique washing sys. item the boys start in at head No. 1, pass.through the seven other spray- ing heads and emerge spick-and-span. They are fed by Sergt. Egan, de- clared by Capt. Staley to be ‘“the finest mess sergeant in the corps.' They receive one hour’s instruction in swimming a day by two Instructors, members of the Red Cross Life-saving Corps, and today there are only two boys in the entire camp who do not know how to swim. Lectures have been given the boys by Lieut. Comdr. Vogelsang, in com- mand of the Medical Battalion, on first aid, hyglene and kindred subjects. D¥” Vogelsang was_designated to in- struct the boys by Capt. Will Garton, U. 8. N., In-command of the medicai unit at the base.

Turner, in command of the fly ing fleld, and who is watching over them with paternal eye, gave them talks, about flying and discussed the varfos ‘typés of planes in his com. mand. None of, the boys was taken for & flight, however. At ‘night they attend the regular post motion picture show and the ma- rines always managed to get a Scout film included on the program. Two | lecturers of the Department of Agri culture in Washington came down to the camp, gave fllustrated talks on forests and forest life and then took the boys out into the woods to see what they had heard ubout. Capt. Staley emphasized that Gen. Cole was not trying to make marines out of the boys. ‘“The camp is gov- erned by Scout law,’ 'he said. *I, per- sonally, have had much experience in this iine of work and I know the kids are keeping within their law. We are giving them the bepefit of our fa- cllities here because we want the bo and like them.” Capt. Staley said the marines would like to have groups of 100 boys spend 10-day perfods at Quantico throughout the Summer.
