“There is no section of America so 
replete with the traditions and relics 
of our early history as in New Eng- 
and and nowhere else is so great an 
effort made to preserve the objects, 
connected with our early history, in 
their original state,’ said Mr. Van-

_ The lecturer took his audience on 
a motor ride through points of inter- 
est in Massachusetts starting at 
_ Provincetown on the extreme end of 
Cape Cod. The views were both 
modern and reproductions of paint-

historical data given in each connec-

often overlooked in this day. _

large part of the time of the lecture 
and many views of scenes, connected 
_ with the events, weré shown. . 
' ~~ “Boston,” said Mr. VandenBerg, 
“has more private mail boxes in its 
postoffice than any city in the United 
States in proportion to its population. 
Its people are the most conservative 
in the country, as this is evidence. 
They still prefer to call for their mail

in which the English language is still
