we went in town together to
St. Pauls. Dr. Roumanier preached
an excellent sermon & the

8 [degrees], 18 [degrees] Fine
Clear & cold with high N.W. [northwest]
wind.
  In Garden:- A White-throated
Sparrow singing, a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] calling,
a Jay flitting through Jungle, a
few House Sparrows.
   Spent day in Museum.
Mr. Merritt, our Brewster Academy
teacher, with me for above an hour
in forenoon, discussing the
contemplated purchase for our Brewster
Library of Encyclopaedia Brittanica
in an edition reduced in size &
cost. He seems to think that the
school is running well & that the
German teacher, Schubert, is mostly
behaving with discretion despite
rumors to the contrary.
  In afternoon I wrote letters &
worked a little on egg collection.
  We had usual reading aloud &
Victrola music in evening.
