State College Trustees Hold Meeting.
At the annual meeting of the Board of
Trustees of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege held in the Senate caucus room at
Harrisburg on Tuesday at which Gover-
nor Tener presided, President Sparks
submitted a report showing that the to-
tal number of students at the College this
year is more than 2,800, only two hun-
dred and twenty-five of whom reside out-
side the State. The attendance has dou-
bled in four years. Over two hundred
students were refused admission last
September for lack of classroom and
laboratory space. Since six buildings pro-
vided by the last session of the Legisla-
ture are under construction, it is hoped
next year. The number of instructors,
experimenters and extension workers is
over one hundred. A
The Summer session was attended by
nearly six hundred teachers of the State

been received from the State Federation
of Woman's Clubs for maintaining three
scholarships in Home Economics and
another sum from the Daughters of the
American Revolution of Pennsylvania
for supporting a scholarship for a girl in
the Liberal Arts course.
Every student entering the College is
asked to name his religious preference,
and, if he wishes, may affiliate with a vil-
lage church instead of attending the re-
quired daily chapel services of the Col-
lege. Church organizations with pastors
are supported at the College by the fol-
lowing: Episcopalian, Lutheran, Meth-
odist, Presbyterian, Reformed and Ro-
man Catholic. Omitting the special stu-
dents, there are 2121 students attending
the College this year in the’ four-year
courses. Of these only 88, or 4 per cent.
stated no religious affiliation. No per-
suasion was used and each student was
at liberty to fill out the blank or not as
he chose. The distribution of choice

PHILIPSBURGERS EXPECT BIG GLASS
FAcTorRY.—The WATCHMAN does not
like to throw cold water on any business
enterprise—new or old—but the big glass
plant that was have to been erected in
Bellefonte is such recent history that it
is hard to accept such propositions atany
other than their face value; hence when
the news reached Bellefonte that Phil-
ipsburg is to have a big glass factory the
announcement was taken simply for what
it is worth and no more. But because |
of the fact that one well known Belle- |
fonter is interested in the project we
give the particulars as published in
Tuesday’s daily Journal:
A representative of the Mercantile &
Realty Co., of Pittsburgh, called on us
yesterday and informed us that this cor-
poration, having taken options on the
large body of glass sand up Tom Tit run,
proposes building a 24-blower tank win-
dow glass factory, costing $60,000, and
which will employ 120 men. These men,
all of them experienced in glass making,
have already been secured.
The plant will be located on grounds
between Cold Stream and the Tyrone
pike, about one and a half miles south-
east of Philipsburg, where the company
has completed a plot for the establishing
of a suburban town, and were men are
now engaged in clearing the same.
Capt. Philip F. Garbrick, of Bellefonte,
and W. A. Morris, of Waynesburg, are
in charge of the work.
The company has options on over 7,-
000 acres of land in this vicinity which
includes inexhaustible quantities of the
very finest glass sand, in addition to fire
clay and large bodies of coal.
It looks very favorable for other plants
in this territory in the manufacturing of
glass and fire brick. We are informed
that the above corporation already have
other manufacturers interested, and will
seek to encourage them to come here
where the raw material exists in such
abundance.

A VERY OLD CLocK.—The following
interesting item is from the Lewistown
correspondence in the Altoona Tribune:
B. F. Sheibly, a local optician, is in
possession of a clock said by eminent
jewelers to contain the finest workman-
ship it has ever been their good fortune
to see. The clock was made by Jacob
Heller, of Aaronsburg, Pa. one of the
oldest towns in the State, and even the
oldest resident cannot recall when Hel-
ler was in the jewelry business. The
works are made of brass, hardened by
some unknown process with one weight
balanced so true that hanging on three
strands of steel chain it regulates the
time, strike and the changes of moon
and seasons. The works show the wear
of more than a century, in addition. to
the half century it had been relegated to
the scrap heap on the attic of the late
Major Robert W. Patton. A test of thir-
ty days shows it to be a most accurate
time keeper and many would like to
know its history.
