and one island in New England
In 1926 he moved to Thompsons s island with his
wife, infant son and servants and built his log

were discovered few years ago and the site Is

After Thompsons death and the removal of his
family the possession of the island became a
subject of litigation. 1t had been included in the
Massachusetts bay colony patent of 1927. and in
1884 granted for the support of free school
to the inhabitants of the town of Dorchester by
which 1t was rented out COW pasture.
The island, attractive to its first white owner
because of its harbor has since then been so
beautifed with groves and rows of trees and
orchards that it is probably not excelled in this
respect by any island of equal size along the At.
lantic coast
For three.quarters of a century the work OF
development and beautifying has been going on.
Spruce and other fir trees. oaks, elms chestnut,
linden, acacia and elm trees abound. The orchard

Instruction in agriculture has been increasingly
progressive
For instance analysis OF the soil of the
island showed lack of potash while another
ANALYSIS showed that the seaweed which is cast
upon the beach in large quantities contained that
very element in substantial degree. From that
time 1t became part of the regular work of
the farm to gather the seaweed and the driftwood
and to dry and burn 1t. and to put the ashes con-
tanning the potash back into the soil.
Both industry and recreation highly devel-
oped. The daily program is almost strenuous,
compared with the life of the boy of similar age
elsewhere.
Discipline is marked characteristic. yet it is
kindly and attractive with large rewards for the
faithful. well-intentioned boy, and a quick and
certain retribution for the boy otherwise The
boy makes his own place there, he will in
later life in the larger world.
The daily routine is follows: Five a. m.

pretty devices to keep him at her

well for her to recollect that love

which is the best possible lineup. OF
the new men who are showing up
particularly well, Harden, in the out
field, is hitting the ball hard and is
fast as a deer. Haney, at first base,
is also doing well.
Towns and Holleman are members

latter in the outfield and the former

are about equal in strength. For
new men, their work is far above the
average. Driggers is a lengthy right
