Very likely you all remember father

you about Captain Scott and the brave
men who went with him to find the
south pole.
1t does not much matter to you what
this south pole really is. except that
every one agrees that to find It ID
about one Of the hardest things on
earth to do.
Captain Scott and his party did 6nd
the pole after months Of suffering and
danger. but they found 1t only to lose
their lives out in this frozen region.
It was a splendid. fine thing to do
what these Englishmer did. eve II
they found out after reaching the
pole that another man. Amundsen,
had got there ahead Of them. The
world nevertheless always will be
proud Of this little company Of Eng
lishmen who failed to arrive FIRST at
the pole.
The sweet little boy whose picture
you see is Peter. Captain SCOTS baby
son. who waved goodby to his father
when he started for the pole two years
