• During afternoon swim and
^monkeyshines" on the beach, Jimmy
let out a yip that sounded like trouble.
The Scoutmaster was on hand in an
instant. Sure enough, Jimmy's shin
had come in contact with a jagged rock,
and the rock had won. Out came the
Bauer & Black Official First Aid Kits.
In a few moments Jimmy's shin was
bandaged, safe from infection.
• Are your troop's First Aid Kits
completely stocked?
• Your boys are ready—always—to
relieve pain, protect against infection,
perhaps save a life — when they carry
the Bauer & Black Official First Aid Kit.
• Only 85c at Trading Posts

Home Study and the
Leisure Time Program
By RAY O. WYLAND
National Director of Education
A BULLETIN from the Los
.Angeles City Schools has just
come to my attention which offers
promise of an increasing opportunity
for the leisure time program to work
in the school community. This bulle-
tin recognizes the great burden that
is placed upon the parents and children
by an excessive amount of heme study
assignments from the schools. It rec-
ognizes the parents' objections to chil-
dren being required to work late into
the night, and the fact that so much
work oftentimes occupies their whole
time and shuts out many other activi-
tes which may be of even greater
value to the pupil. Also, the City
Schools of Los Angeles, have taken
definite steps to limit the amount of
required home study. To be effective
February 1935, the following regula-
tions have been established:
1. Through the first eight grades no
home study will be required.
2. In the ninth grade, required home
study will be limited to one hour
for each of the first four evenings
of the week.
3. In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
grades (Senior High School) re-
quired home study will be limited
to one and one-half hours for the
first four evenings of the week.
4. In none of the upper four grades
will required home study be per-
mitted over the week-end.
This ruling brings new light and
hope, and a source for light and hope
is much needed. Two years ago I at-
tended a meeting of four or five hun-
dred school superintendents at Colum-
bia University, at which a definite fore-
cast was registered against the schools
monopolizing so much of the time of
the pupils that they have little oppor-
tunity to participate in the program of
the Church and the various recrea-
tional agencies in the community such
as represented by the Boy Scouts, the
4-H Clubs, Y. M. C. A. and ether
agencies. The Department of Super-
intendence of the National Education
Association made a very definite state-
ment on this subject and indicated that
it is a mistaken zeal on the part of
the schools to require so much activity
in the school as to shut out these more
valuable contacts of the student body
with other agencies and activities in the
community.
Our Scout field will be very much
interested in this new development.
