    Young Braves Being Made at Camp
Kanesatake.
The members of the tribes, chiefs
and all connected with Camp Kanesa-
take are enjoying to the limit the ad-
vantages of out-door life under the
best of conditions and leadership.
From reveille to taps the day is full of
fun and man-making sport. Hikes,
campfires, instruction in camp craft
and woodcraft all go to make up a
happy day and restful night of sleep.
The boys have been having two
classes each morning at Camp Kane-
satake. These classes are in wood-
craft and campcraft and are entirely
optional. The class in woodcraft is
taught by director S. S. Aplin. At
this class the boys are taught the
right use of the hatchet, axe and
knife, the making of camp fires and
also the lighting of fire by use of flint
and steel. They are now working on
the notching and cutting of logs for
the building of a log cabin. The boys
in the camperaft class are taught the
essentials of camp site and the equip-
ment for personal camp use. At pres-
ent they are working at clay fireplac-
es. They are building an incinerator,
stove and a Dutch oven. These are
made of clay and stone and small nail
kegs are used as forms. The boys are
going to bake beans and have an out-
door supper this week. There are
thirty boys in this class, all taking a
great interest.
The camp is run on a merit system,
whereby points are awarded for satis-
factory service and good camp con-
duct. Personal points are awarded to-
ward the camp letter which is given
at the close of camp to those who re-
ceived the required number of merits,
also the wigwam having the largest
number of points is awarded the camp
tribal trophy.
Inspection is one of the interesting
features of the camp, both for the
camper and the inspectors. Each day
brings forth to light the fact that the
conditions surrounding the camp are
very much improved in comparison
with those existing before camp. All
the warriors and tribes are striving
hard to retain the high standing that
is set before them. The Chippewas
seem to have the upper hand in in-
spection so far. The standing of the
tribes for inspection is as follows:
Chippewas - - - 1024
Bald Eagles - - -. 919
Shawnees - - - 91.9
Senacas - - - 91.3
Iroquois - - - 90.8
Aztecs - - - - 854
The tribes of the camp have been on
the war path in athletics as well as in
the rest of camp activities. Scalps
have been taken in baseball, volley
ball and tennis. The Bald Eagles and
Aztecs are tied as to the number of
scalps taken, with the Shawnees a
close second. The braves are taught
to play the game on the Athletic field
as well as the great game of life.
Lest we forget the great Camper-
Chief’s baseball game on Thursday
afternoon, after the tribal games, the
braves gathered together on the base-
ball diamond for the purpose of taking
the scalps of the chiefs. Of course,
the chiefs, aided by the great chief,
ran away with the whole totem pole.

On Sunday evening Rev. A. Hewitt,
pastor of the Reformed church of Wil-
liamsburg, gave the boys a talk at
hillside service, which is conducted on
the hillside facing the west, and has
been the daily inspirational service
since the opening of Camp Kanesa-
take. Each of the three counselors
have charge of two tribes. They are
students of the Sunday school train-
ing camp and render counsel and as-
sistance to the chiefs of the tribes,
who are appointed by the braves from
their own group. Leadership train-
ing is one of the educational features
of the camp. Sunday, August 24th,
there will be a great gathering of the
Tri-County Sunday school workers.
State speakers will address the guests
and special music will be rendered.
Thursday and Sunday are visitors
days and many avail themselves of
the opportunity to visit the boys and
see the fine arrangement of the site
and buildings. Many improvements
are to be added each year. The camp
will close Tuesday, August 26th, when
the boys will reluctantly leave their
wigwams for the paleface country.

been extended to all alumni who find
it convenient to get to the college for
the week-end.
