ton University Carry-on club held its
hrst dance in Hancock hall for the
benefit of the club funds.
Practically all the students of the
Boston university summer school
we're present, together with large
numbers of local people. Directed
by committee of students, the de-
tails of the affair were we'll worked
out, and the dance, as a social and
nnancial success, could hardly have
been more successful.
Nearly $3.50 was realized. which
VIII be used for the benefit of the
Carry-On club, composed entirely of
ex-seryice men who are studying un-
der the federal board for vocational
education at the B. U. summer school
here.

was furnished by Zip's orchestra. AT
intervals during the evening, vocal
solos were sung by Richmond Bost-
WICK and Joseph Durand, students at
the school. in an acceptable manner.

tlonal education is greatly pleased
ny the success of the B. U. summer
schooi Tor war veterans at Ellsworth
Is shown by letters just received
from the Boston office, Especially
pleasing is the attendance record at
the school. The students are paving
| attention TO business. are not fooling
away their time, and are attending
classes, although small amount is
pleasing regularity. Cutting
| classes, although a small amount is
permitted. is almost negligible here
at the Ellsworth summer school.
Not only are the federal board and
the directors of the school pleased
with the success of the enterprise so
far, but the students themselves are
appreciative of their opportunity In
attending the only summer camp and
school for federal board men in the
country, They are equally pleased
with the welcome accorded them in

letter written on his own initia-
tive to the fedora, board By one of
the students says: Everyone is en-
thusiastic and has a spirit that Is
only too apparent in class. This
spirit does not manifest itself In
bo'sterousness. but rather in a seri-
business of purpose that allows no
maiingeriRg. Outside of class we
are met with a hospitality that in
some cases Is almost overwhelming.
Folks have welcomed us into their
groups as though we were close
friends"
Federal board officials at Boston
we're so pleased TO receive this report
from one of the students that they
sent cory OF the letter to the CEN
trail Office in Washington.
ThC camp which has been estab-
lished near Prof. Bellatty's cottage at
Contention Cove. for the benefit of
the summer school students has met
with the hearty approval OF the ex-
service men. Numbers have signed
up for the use OF the camp for We'd
nesday and weekend trips. The
flats nearby supply enough clans for
bakes and fish bait, according to the
students who have been there. but
they complain that the hospitality
OF the neighbors and summer people
at the Cove does not allow them
much opportunity TO cook for them
selves, even when they get the max
ings' for a meal
