The Ramblers had a nice little printed
programme of their fourteen meetings
prepared at the beginning OF the season
Tor their use. Interspersed were two
Current Topics days adm two days for lit
erature. The other days were for the
stuoy of American history-not the study
Of dates and battles, but the causes. the
why's and wherefores, and the results.
But when February 16. the first literature
aay came. the Ramblers had become so
Interested in America that they desired to
keep right on and leave literature till
later. So civilian Morris and Austin
Dobsonr were dropped out, and in their
place was put the subject for March IL,
slavery And then on March 2. Cur
rent Events, were dropped, and Major
Pangborn lectured on the next topic on
The programme, Abraham Lincoln" The
result was a strange mix in the pro-
gramme, which, however, will soon be
rigfted. At the last meeting, "Current
Events took the place of Slavery al
readv discussed, and at the next meeting,
March 80. Mr.. Chester Jay Hunt will lee
sure on 'Wilaam Norris. as Abraham
lincoln, had already been talked about.
Tho meeting ON April 10 will not be held
