Ispeciai TO THE AMERICAN
Few people, except the graduates Of the
| Castine normal school, know that the
| event. No other school In the world, 90
far ss known, has such an associstion--an
association which owns q cottage and
grounds, and which invites all the grad
yates OF the Castine school to share with
| them an annual camping season of two
weeks in August.
This association does great work. 1t
perpetustes the bond OF sympathy be-
tween graduate ana school; 1t In of
| inestimabie benefit to young graduates
who wish to secure better and more
lucrative positions; 1t brings togeth her
graduates from all parts of the country
who renew old friendship and make firm
and lasting new ones; besides II furnishes
an ideal resting place on the banks OF the
Penobscot river, as the lines OF one OF the
camp songs testify;
I've rest the weary hand and head.
by which we earn our daily bread,
And all too soon the days are sped
Camping out, while camping out"
The programme OF each emcampment
Is in charge OF the president and an
executive committee. 1t Is OF q varied
nature, consisting of lectures on educa-
tional and other topics, musicaies, bon
fires, clam bakes and daily and possibly
nightly gatherings In the grove where
camp songs are sung and camp legends
told.

precedent, by presenting to the associs-
tion new and beautiful row boat.
