A Laudable Scheme.
Reading edition
Mrs. Antoinette J. Bascomb, Professor Tremaine Lomax, and Mr. T. Boileau Ransome, have been delegated by the Browning Club of Blue Island to formulate a plan for a Western School of Summer Philosophy, to be held in Kumpf’s Grove, near Sixteen-mile Creek, next August. It is the sense of the club that such a school, conducted largely on the plan of the Concord summer retreat for the feeble-minded, would redound largely to the intellectual reputation of the West; but, in order to throw about the enterprise a practical atmosphere, it is intended to devote the financial proceeds of this series of picnics to the building of a new roller-skating rink on Madison Street.
