American Notes-Editorial An educational project of a high order has been worked out at Rockport, Mass., by Rev. Walter W. Campbell, pastor of the First Congregational Church,-a project which while unique, and dependent for its success largely upon the genius of its originator and the proximity of plenty of "sea room," nevertheless, might well be imitated by others who are possessed of mechanical ability, a capacity for boy leadership and are located near the ocean. Mr. Campbell has built with his own hands a fine little yacht, "sixty feet long over all, of roomy beam, and reproducing in miniature the features of a large ocean liner." It has cabins, dining room and cook's galley and can carry fifteen souls all told. The owner is both builder and captain and his daughter, one of the first two women to secure a Massachusetts license for wireless telegraphy, is wireless operator. Adapting the Boy Scout idea to the needs of a seaport town, the Campbells have organized a company of "Marine Scouts" and have recently enjoyed, with nearly a dozen youngsters, a six days' voyage, in course of which instruction was given in such things as how to box the compass, how to tie various kinds of knots, the names of all the lighthouses from Portland to Cape Cod, together with the location, color and class of each; how to cook, how to run the engine, how to steer the vessel; how to use the vernacular of the sea, and how to become a good sailor. Instruction is given also in first aid to the injured, how to revive those who have been rescued from drowning, and how to be alert and ready for various possible emergencies. Mr. Campbell imposes only one qualification for membership-viz.: that the candidate shall belong to some Sunday School. Several denominations, including Roman Catholics, were represented in this summer's group, and while there is no religious instruction moral principles and good behavior are insisted upon. The discipline is strict, but the boys of Rockport and vicinity are eager to join Mr. Campbell's "Marine Scout" band and are willing to conform to the requirements, the details of which have been carefully worked out. Candidates are divided into four grades, viz.: Tenderfeet, Apprentices, Scouts and Midshipmen. Promotion depends upon points made. Ability to tie sixteen kinds of knots in two minutes counts fifty points; ability to swim fifty yards counts fifty points. To become a Scout the candidate must have gained five hundred points, while to be a Midshipman requires a thousand points. The name of Mr. Campbell's boat is the "Wahama," each of the three syllables being respectively the first two letters of his own, his wife's and his daughter's names. The past season has demonstrated the practicability, popularity and real worth of the plan and we are glad to pass along this |
