"What is the first thing to do?" asked Pepper when they met that
evening in the room which Mr. Scott had allowed them to use.
"Well, if we are all agreed," replied Rand, "I suppose the way to
organize is to organize."
"Then I move that we form a patrol of the Boy Scouts," proposed
Pepper.
"Second the motion," added Jack.
"In my opinion--" began Donald deliberately, as usual.
"Now for a solid chunk of wisdom," volunteered Pepper.
"The first thing to do is to select a chairman."
"Anything to please," assented Jack. "I move that Randolph Peyton
be chosen as chairman of the meeting. All in favor, say aye!"
"Aye!" shouted the boys in a chorus that made the room ring again.
"Now then, Mr. Chairman," said Jack, "get busy."
"I nominate Donald Graeme for secretary," cried Pepper.
"All in favor--" began Rand.
"Aye!" shouted the boys again.
"Then," announced Rand, "I think we are ready for business. Now,
Pepper, your motion would be in order."
"In my opinion--" interrupted Donald.
"Now for another chunk," sighed Pepper.
