P. Baker, left the college on Nov. 22 for the east ern part of the State. The first stop was at Philadelphia where the stu dents spent all of Monday forenoon at the Philadelphia commercial mu seum. The museum contains some very fine collections of woods from the Philippine Islands, Japan, China, and other foreign countries. Part of Monday afternoon was spent at the Pennsylvania Railroad nursery at Morrisville, Pa. where the conditions for winter protection to the small seedlings were well shown. The remainder of the afternoon was spent at the Roebling mills in Tren ton. The Roeblings are the largest manufacturers of stc:l cable in the world and one of the largest manu facturers of all kinds of wire. Tuesday morning the party left Trenton for Tacony, Pa., to inspect the Disston and Sons saw works. This great plant covers 52 acres and employs 3300 men. Crucible steel is used entirely in the manufacture of saws. The students had the op portunity of seeing the_ whole pro cess from crucible furnaces to the _packing rooms. The company has its own saw mill, as it uses great quantities of lumber for saw handles, levels, boxes, etc. On Tuesday night the party left Philadelphia for Mt. Alto, and most of Wednesday was spent at the State Forest School at that place. Mr. Wert, who is in charge of the school was very kind in showing and explaining the work being done by the State for the edu cation of men in forestry; and the methods used in the management of the state reserve near Mt. Alto. The party returned to Harrisburg Wednesday night and disbanded after a very pleasant and instructive trip. At a meeting. of the Le anon County Club, recently organized, it was decided to hold a smoker in Lebanon during ChristmaS - 'vacation, to which prospective students and the senior class of the Lebanon High school will be invited. The basketball schedule of the University of Pennsylvania has dates for twenty-six games.
