STATE SABBATH SCHOOL ASSO-
CIATION.
Planning Big Things for 1924. New
State Worker Already Added.
Following right on the heels of the
splendid annual State Sabbath School
convention held at Williamsport a
couple of weeks ago, was a most in-
teresting and enthusiastic annual con-
vention of the Young People’s Divi-
sion of the State Association, held at
Reading a few days ago. This con-
vention, under the leadership of E. H.
Bonsall and Miss Esther Williams, of
the State Association force, held its
sessions in the Holy Cross Methodist
church of Reading and was represent-
ed by young people from every coun-
ty. In addition to a splendid and in-
spirational program, both as to the
addresses and music, there were re-
‘unions of the campers from the sum-
mer camps, luncheons, hikes, get-to-
gether meetings, early morning watch
services.
Now, following this annual conven-
tion there will be a tour by three of
the State workers during the next
thirty days and covering every county
in the State, where institutes will be
held, these primarily intended for the
leaders and teachers of young people.
A new field worker has been added
to the State force, in the person of
Mr. Lyman Paul Rockwell, who for
several years has been a field worker
for the American Sunday School
Union. Mr. Rockwell resides in Erie
and though a young man of twenty-
seven, comes to the State Association
backed by a rich experience in Sun-
day school work. He is well and fa-
vorably known in the northwestern
counties of the State and because of
his energy and enthusiasm is affec-
tionately known as “Spark Plug.”
Severay new Community Training
schools have been started this fall un-
der favorable auspices. These are lo-
‘cated at
Altoona—Rev. Fred R. Greninger,
director.
Lansford—Rev. W. C. Espenshade,
director.
Dormant—Prof. J. Albert Murphy,
director.
Ridgway—Rev. Luther A. Krouse,
director.
Tyrone—Prof. W. W. Eisenhart, di-
rector.
Sterling—Rev. A. L. Prynn, direc-
tor; and promotion of other schools
in other centers is now under way.
It is wondered as to just limits of
influence of Week Day Religious Edu-
cation. During the past year this
work has doubled and trebled; no two,
communities seem to follow the same
scheme. Last year over 5,000 stu-!
dents received instruction in six cen- |
ters. This year the outstanding ef- :
forts are at Harrisburg and the North
boroughs at Pittsburgh.
Harrisburg is operating under the |
deraminational group plan. It is too
early to report success but the project
is sound and gives promise of making
a rea! contribution towards citizen-
ship, for by this plan every denomina-
tion is responsible for the religious
life of its own children.
The program of reading for Sunday
schoo! teachers has already been map- |
ped out for the coming vear. It is!
somewhat comprehensive but within |!
the reach of all and those who follow |
it must receive splendid benefit, both
by vision of the task and “the how” of |
the program. For November it calls
for “Organization and Administration
of Religions Education,” by Stout;
December’s books are “The Human
‘Elewents in the Making of a Christ-
ian,” by Conde. or Trumbull’s “Tak-
ing len Alive.”
Thea in January, Athearn’s “Re-
‘ligious Education and American De-
.moctracy;” February, “Seven Laws of
Teaching,” by Gregory. followed in
“March by “How to Conduct a Church
«Vacation School,” bv Gage, and Ear-
hart’s “Training Children to Studv,”
for Anril reading. For Mav “The
“Week-Day Church School,” , bv
Squires: June. “Brent’s T.eadershin,”
cand in Julv “A Study of Child Na-
ture ” hy Harvicon; August. “Making
the Cid School New.” by Miller, and
“The Making of a Teacher.” by Brum-
bauech. for September reading.
Certainly a real selection for those
interested in the work of the Sabbath
schocl.

Places His $60,000,000 in Trust to |
Support School for Orphans. |

Harrisburg.—It became known re-
cert!y that dM. S. Hershey, head of the
Hersey Chocolate company and
founder of the town bearing his name,
placed his entire fortune in trust five |
years ago for the Hershey Industrial
.schooi at Hershey. He is the princi-
pa! owner of the chocolate company
and its 15 subsidiaries and the stock
together with the plants operated as
growing concerns, are estimated to be
worth $60,000,000.
The placing of this huge amount in
trust for the school makes it the sec- |
ond to Girard College as the richest |
orphanage in the country. Hershey, |
according to J. E. Snyder, his chief
legal adviser, who confirmed the sto- |
ry, dreamed years ago of establish- :
ing o huge orphanage on the site of |
the old Hershey homestead, where he
was born. In the last 20 years, whi'e
the Hershey Chocolate company has
developed from a small beginning to |
the largest of its kind in the world, |
Hershey has gradually shaped his |
plans. He began acquiring land!
‘around the old homestead and in 1909
the school opened to pupils. !
It has now 120 boys enrolled, learn- |
ing useful trades. The dormitories,
mechanical buildings, gymnasium and
play ground cover what once was the
old Hershey farm. The certificate of
incorporation was filed in the Dau-
Phin county court in 1908 by Hershey
and his wife, Mys. Catharine S. Her-
shey, since deceased. last summer
Hershey celebrated the twentieth an-
niversary of the founding of his great
industry. Like Ford, he adopted the
plan of giving his employees bonuses
and preceded the flivver king in that
direction,
