CHAPTER XI
14/21

'Tis but right we put in one of you that comes from across the Bay.

I'm saying Peter Sparks, now." Doctor Joe agreed with Andy, and Peter Sparks was declared elected.
Then Seth nominated Andy for scribe.
"Because," Seth explained, "Andy'll be right handy to Doctor Joe all the time and Doctor Joe can help he to do the writin', and he needs help." When the election was completed Doctor Joe explained the duties of the officers and the necessity of obedience to them in the performance of scout duties.

"We must always be ready to help other people at all times, as we promise to do in our oath.
