WHAT TIME DO YOU GET UP? ·
(By LT. CEN. LORD BADEN-POWELL.)
Special to "Hong Kong Dally Press." All Rights Reserved.]
What is the best time in the day? For all Scouts the naswer is the early morning.
All Scouts should accustom them selves to getting up early. The boy who wakes up and sees the sun pouring in upon him and then turns round for another nap will never do much good in the world.
The air in the early morning is the best tonic that a fellow cha
have.
The Scout's time for being most active is in the early morning, because that is the time when the
wild animals all do their feeding and moving about.
In war the usual hour for an attack is just before dawa when the attackers can creep up unseen in the dark and get sufficient light To enable them to carry out the attack suddenly while the other people are still asleep.

For a Scout nose-breathing is also especially useful. By breathing through the hose and keeping the mouth shut you prevent yourself from getting thirsty when you are doing hard work.
