MR. COCHRANE LECTURES ON
INDIAN RELICS
The pupils and faculty of the
Bellefonte High school had the pleas-
the migration of the Indians from the
southwest to the northern part
of the United States, and the utensils
of the redman. Having an extensive
collection of Indian relics, Mr. Coch-
rane displayed two large cases of
arrows, several stone grain grinders,
hatchets and tomahawks, and a num-
ber of bowls, With the exhibition of
each article Mr. Cochrane demon-
strated its use and told by what
tribe it had been made.
The collection was on display in

out the day for the inspection of the
pupils.
GRADES VISIT STATE COLLEGE
The Seventh and Eighth grades
of the Allegheny street school made
a geography journey to State Col-
lege on the afternoons of April
eighth and fifteenth, under the di-
rection of the teacher, Mrs. McGar-
vey. A tour was made of the agri-
cultural buildings, including the cat-
tle and sheep barns and the cream-
ery. New “Old Main” and the en-
gineering buildings were also visited.
Great interest was shown in the
lambs and sheep, the Chinese room,
and the art exhibits in the engineer-
ing building. After sampling the
famous State College ice cream the
pupils started for home, having
spent a most delightful and in-
structive afternoon.
