Will you allow me to call attention in your columns to the Home Libraries of the Children's Aid Society? The plan of work is as follows: Twenty volumes of good story books are placed in the home of some poor child, who acts as a librarian; nine other children belong to the group, and meet once a week at a given hour to change their books. At this time a visitor meets them, oversees the library-work, and plays games with, or reads to the children for an hour or so. Several students have acted as visitors this winter...
...left there, as Dreyfus hit weakly to Spalding, and was out at first. Until the sixth however, they got but two more men to first, both of whom were left, but in the sixth they made their second run. Rogers got to first on an error by Wood, a poor throw, but Spalding's good backing-up prevented his getting on farther.

To Harvard's influence for it reverses her policy of raising the standard, pursued for the last thirty years: Minority...
Frothingham hit a fly to Young and Hovey singled. Hallowell was thrown out at third by reason of poor coaching. Dickinson reached first on a wild throw, and Corbett got his base on balls. Here Princeton proceeded to raise a tremendous din, and every one expected Paine to get nervous and strike out. However he kept perfectly cool and hit a liner which would have brought in two of the men, had not Young managed to catch it very cleverly, thus shutting Harvard out with...
