 Heard College President.
 Tn the auditorium at ? o'clock a good sized audience gathered to hear Rev Samuel W. Irwin, president of East Greenwich academy. District Superin- tendent Scrivener conducted a respon- sive scripture service and offered pray CT. Dr. Irwin talked on Some Frag- ments That Remain. He considered Boy Scouting as one of the things that remained and lauded the Boy Scout work of East Greenwich women. The problem of the boy is his personal and moral problems. The nercenary psli- tician does not care as to the saloon, but the Boy Scout proposes to shut the doors. The man finds his problem. There are many life problems and Boy Scout work seeks to solve them. They do their work with their best judg- ment and with the materials in hand Unconquerahle optimism conquers
