Excursion by the Student Volunteer Committee.

The first excursion of the Student Volunteer Committee was conducted by Mr. Birtwell yesterday afternoon to the Municipal institutions at Deer Island, Boston Harbor. A limited number of invitations were sent out by the committee to men actively engaged in volunteer work, and fourteen men attended. The party took the boat, the J. Putnam Bradlee, to the island, and on their arrival they were received by Superintendent Gerrish. They were conducted over the House of Industry, the Truant School, and the Hospital by Assistant-Superintendent Perkins, who explained to the men the working of the various branches of the institution. After the tour of inspection the visitors were the guests of Superintendent Gerrish at a little luncheon. The party returned to Boston at six o'clock.
