ing field work-for at least nine- tenths of the work was done in the Held. The routine school work was, however, but a part of the benefits of such a course. The opportunity to study the life of the great north woods was the great factor. Some there were, who departed August l3th no wiser than when they had come, save for the little they had been forced to absorb in the class work, but all the lovers of the out- side world had received a pretty good introduction to the Red Gods. The lake stretched away to the north, the south and the southeast, filled with fish and surrounded with pine-clad hills interrupted here and there by the lighter green of tamarack swamps. Douglas Lodge, at the south end of the east arm, with its summer boarders, gave the tinge of civilization so pleasant to some. More or less distinct trails lead through all the known types of the northern forests to beautiful springs and small hidden lakes, While he who heard the call of the wild had but to plunge from the trail and was soon beyond all trace of human kind in the natural tangle of the silent places where he might at any moment come unexpectedly upon the yet undetermined ultimate source of the Father of Vvaters. The park afforded 22,000 acres of game preserve, where deer, moose, bear, grouse, beaver, mink, porcupines, wolves and ducks live undisturbed and unafraid. The curious and cautious woodsman found them easy of ap- proach. Such was the life of the summer school. To the lover of the noises of the city it was one. long continuous boreg to the true camper and lover of the forest life, a joy and a revelation. E. G. CI-IEYNEY.
