example that our public schools ought to
follow. My interest in the Boy Scout
movement is, of course. an educational
one. | have noticed more and more, as

best kind of education is got, not by
reading. but by observing and doing.

serve that the character of most young
men is determined before they go to col

and vigor and range in college and after

character are generally fixed by the time
he is eighteen years old, and it is just at

had never known trouble before.
Common went out and joined the artist
and they walked away together. She
heard their steps crunching the sand.
When the sounds ceased she ran out on

She saw them get into the dory: she saw

An hour later Marshy sank on her
