Most of the time, however, we were not lucky enough to catch mink. We trapped skunk. We shipped the skihs to Funsten Brothers in St. ,Louis and one winter we managed to make $15. In those days it seemed like a lot of money. I got so I could skin a skunk before breakfast, and although I used the cook's perfume to coun- teract the odor, my mother, a most patient woman, sometimi complained about it.

To the latter school of thought belongs my ex- mother-in-law, Mrs Pat- terson. * PROGRESS INVADES Today electric railway runs through our old trapping grounds, connecting Philadelphia with its suburbs. I remember how valiantly and persistently our trapping club fought that unwanted invader of our primitive countryside. W the surveyors for the electric line laid out their stakes, we pulled up every one of them. Time after time they re-survey that line, wake up next morning their stakes gone But it no use. Twelve-y old boys could not stop mode progress. Today I passed the grey-stone residence now used to house the President of Swarthmore College * % an only to find ! the axes of speci of the war. It looked stern, sedate and solemn. But I remembered the day when rank weeds grew on its deserted lawn, dense bushes surrounded it, a Robin-Hood band, in which I played Little John, crept in and | out of its broken windows. Came the day when Robin Hood's “headquarters” found itself squarely in the path of modern civilization. The college purchased the old mansion and started to install new windows, electricity, and a furnace. Again we did our best to block the creeping paralysis of progress. Every week-end we ripped out the electric wiring, and hid the car-| penter’s tools. But it did no good. | How could 12-year-olds fight the | adult machinery of a college? We lost. 3 | And every time the college now approaches me as one of its no- torious if not distinguished alumni, and asks me to add to its endow- | ment fund, I always figure, as I| write a check, that I'm helping to pay for that electric-wiring I| ripped out of the president’s man- sion | * k0% | PEARSON AND PROGRESS So, despite all I could do to pre- it, the town of Swarthmore today is one of the most modern | and beautiful I have ever.seen. Its| streets are better; ‘its lawns are! more beautiful; its schools are better equipped; its children better educated; and its people more in- telligent. Finally, they don't have the pungent odor of a certain'| woodland animal wafting over the town from the Pearson woodshed | on winter mornings. | Yes, the town is improved a lol—f‘ . despite all I could do to stop it.
