...CRIMSON is printing this morning a comprehensive account of the organization and the educational value of the Boy Scout Movement written by a Harvard alumnus. The purpose of the movement, which was started by Lieutenant-general Sir Robert Baden-powell in England so short a time ago as 1908, is, ultimately, to promote the interest of the rising generation in good citizenship, but as Mr. Holmes points out many subsidiary aims are accomplished. the method is one which must appeal to every sensible person in an age when life in the open air, and the ability to put hand...
...Peterson's work again declares his rare faculty of careful observation of outer nature and of personal emotion. In "Lost at Sea" Mr. Gilkey has wasted his finished metrical technique and his vivid sense of the rhythm of blank verse upon an incoherent story of a poetical cabin boy marooned upon a desert island by an ogre-like sea captain.

He had begged and borrowed until Henry had at last turned him off, and this was to be his revenge for the "desertion." Nine years later, again on Christmas eve, that other useful dramatic slow-match, the new trained nurse, tells...
...Henry's own mill Martha finally goes. There in the spinning-room, with its racing machinery and tired children tending the bobbins, she finds two little ones who attract her. Brother and sister they appear to the world, though they have already explained to us that "Skinny" Hinks, the boy, is really the child that Lirty had left when he died in the hospital. The remainder of the act tells of Martha's attempts to secure work in the mill in order to see the children, how the foreman and a director think her an investigator and refuse...
