We are always looking for balloons and expecting earthquakes and our respect for things less prominent does not amount to much. Yet this quiet work by a few self-sacrificing men is exactly what is going to tell in the social problems of the day. The work of collecting the clothes will commence immediately and the collectors should find a hearty response from the students...

In order to find the points of the compass we must first find a level surface and then by the arrangement of angles we must find the zenith of the sky. A single point however does not help us, and another must be obtained. Looking to the north we can find stars...
