ON THE PIONEER.
Four Putnam Boys on Scout Ship Are
 Cruising Off the Maine Coast.

Somewhere off the Maine coast four Putnam boy scouts Dana Johnson Donald Johnson, William Rafferty, Jr and Ernest Chapdelaine, with Rev. c. J. Hartman, scout master, are sailing alone on what is near to a fairy tale voyage this morning. They are mem bers of the good ship Pioneer. and able seamen all," bound from Prov incetown on the cape to Eastport Me, the most eastern port in the United States.
 They are members of the crew of 26 boys that man the boy scout ship and they will have charge of it during the two weeks they are to be away taking their regular watches, day and night. serving tricks at the wheel, washing down the decks, climbing into the rigging to furl or loosen sail, as occasion may require or working down in the mess rooms, each as he may happen to be assigned to duty.
 The scout ship idea is modelled af- ter one that has proved such @ great attraction and benefit for England's boy scouts. The Pioneer was provided four years ago, by a Waltham man, who has taken a great deal of in terest in the development of the boy scout movement in this country. She is Q former Gloucester fishing boat. 100 feet in length, with schooner riga fine seaworthy vessel.
 Boy scouts who go out in her are kept under strict discipline as pre- walls on shipboard in the navy, but the novelty of the cruise appeals to them almost beyond expression. Prac- tica1 seamanship is taught and the reg uIar routine of a well commanded ship is maintained.
 The boys work under the direction of a skilled captain and trained off, cers, with a crew of adults sufficient to manage the vessel in case of emer- gency. though the scouts do all of the work under ordinary conditions.
 Each trip of the Pioneer up and down the coast occupies two weeks and the crew usually consists of twen- ty of the scouts. though 26 are aboard on this cruise. Ten boys are released every Monday and ten more take their places. the ship travelling back and forth all summer.
 The ship is equipped with wireless. It is arranged with special thought of the purpose for which it is being used and once a boy is so fortunate as to win a cruise in the vessel he is as- sured of novel and enjoyable exper-

WOODSTOCK ACADEMY.
May Be Changed Into Agricultural CoIlege-PIan of Summer Residents.

Hamilton Holt of the New York In- dependent, and James H. Cutler, of Washington. D. c. have a plan for changing Woodstock academy into an agricultural college. MT. Holt has a. summer home in Woodstock and is closely associated with the affairs of the academy
 AS outlined in embryo the plan to devote the academy, one of the oldest of it's kind in this section of New Eng land, to agricultural purposes Is based on the theory that country academies cannot do such a great service to the communities in which they are located in this day as they could if devoted to the teaching of scientific methods of agriculture and kindred subjects of special interest and service to the pu- pills of communities which they serve It is held that there is no demand for country academies in this day. but there is demand for schools in the country where education along scien- tifie practical lines may be gained.
 The idea is, if such a change is made, not to have the academy at Woodstock a competitor of the Con- necticut Agricultural college at Storrs, but one working for a section of the state that has large areas devoted to agriculture.
