Excerpt from A Book of Symbols for Camp Fire Girls This little book of symbols has been in process of making for five or six years. For the most part the symbols have been drawn by Lydia bush-brown, jessie Shaw and Clara Hallard, and are described by Margaret Bradshaw. We have all had happy times together in working and thinking them out, and hope that the Camp Fire Girls will get inspiration from them in creating their own individual symbols. It is not easy for many grown people to think out a form to stand for an idea and then arrange it artistically in some craft work. It takes a cer tain elemental feeling and simplicity that many of us lose by too much referring to what others have done before us. But girls can do it and they love it. For five years I have seen it done every summer. The deeper one goes into it the more one loves it. It is very well worth while thus to try to put into words or drawings the things we cherish and love most, for when it is done it helps us to hold to those things which are best in us. I. In the Guardian's pin the sun emblem stands for an undying fire, its twelve rays meaning the twelve months of the year. The symbol is an Indian one.
