School Sessions
At Williamsport
Local Delegates Numbered Among
the Twenty-nine Who Attend From
Luzerne County
Mrs. Howard Wright and irs,
Howard Crosby attended the sixty-
seventh annual convention of the State
Sabbath School Association of Penn-
sylvania for three days at Williams-
port. They were sent as representa-
tives by the Sunday school. There
“were 1,248 delegates in attendance,
only twenty-nine of which were from
Luzerne county, although it is one of
the largest in the State.
Every session of the convention was
filled with inspiration and help. The
Sunday School Association is inter-
denominational and the contacts with
other sects are an education. It is in-
deed encouraging to see so large a
number of different creeds and beliefs
come together in harmony. Any
school which does not keep in touch:
with this body must suffer loss.
The morning sessions were general
and were held in the-Pine Street Meth-
odist church. At these all business was
transacted and a number of short, stir-
ring addresses made by different
workers throughout this state and
others. Afternoons were given over
to departmental conferences. Each de-
partment of the church school ‘had
headuarters in one of the city churches
and every worker was supposed to]
take up some phase of the work in |
which he or she was most interested.
These conferences were led by men
|
|
|
|
|
and women specially trained in their |
particular line of work. They were |
the best possible to procure and spoke |
with authority on the latest and best |
methods of carrying on church school
work,
Religious education was the subject
especially stressed. Some of the
leaders in the different departments
are well known in name at least to
all church school workers. The fol-
lowing are only a few of the many:
Mrs. Archer Holman, Mrs. F. W.
Tomlinson, Miss Elsie Rodgers, Mrs.
J. M. Bailey, Miss Mary Alice Jones,
gecretary of the International Council
of Religious Education; Prof. Wilhel-
mina tSooker and Miss Blanche Car-
rier. These were the leaders in the
children’s division.
Young people’s division had as lead-
ers: Dr. Frank McKibben, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh; Rev. J. Gordon
Howard, Prof. Herbert C. Mayer,
director of education. Curtiss Aircraft
Company.
Adult division. leaders were: Rev.
Park Hays Miler, O. P. Thomas, Mrs.
G. G. Kerr, Dr. H. E. Tralle.
Other leaders were: Dr. J S. Ar-
mentrout, authority on leadership
training; Prof. I. Guy ®Rohrbaugh,
Dickinson College; Dean George F.
Walk, Philadelphia; Dr. Luther
Weigle, of Yale; Hon. Martin G.
rumbaugh, ex-governor of Pennsyl-

dean of American College, Teherau,

Derailed At
Noxen Station
Open Switch Cause of Wreck Which
Destroys Box Car and Crushes Gas-
Electric Engine
Investigation by Lehigh Valley offi-
cials into the cause of the passenger
train wreck at Noxen on aSturday
night. has failed to reveal who left the
switch open that caused the derail-
‘nent of the train and the destruction
of a freight car.
Only luck prevented a more serious
wreck and the loss of life. The wreck
occurred as the east-bound 8 o'clock
train was pulling out of the Noxen
station on its trip to Dallas. Ae the
gasoline-electric esgine Cross the
switch which serves the Armour
Leather Company, the front wheels
jumped the track and the engine
plowed down the track into an empty
box car. The engine cab was crushed
in, Engineer James uMsselman nar-
rowly escaping death in the crash. The
box car was completely destroyed. The
force of the impact hurled the pas-
senger train back against the main
track where it plowed several yards
through the roadbed. Only the pres-
sure of the rails prevented the train
from turning completely over.
A special train from Coxton arriving
at 10:30 conveyed the passengers to
Wilkes-Barre. Later in the night a
crew of track men and «a wrecker from
Coxton raised the engine back on the
track, although work was not com-
pleted until Susday morning. On Sun-
day foreman Clark Brobst with his
crew put the tracks and roadbed in
shape for Monday traffic.

Members of the United States
Geoetic and Coast Survey have been
working this week in this vicinity ex-
tending the arc of First Order Tri-
angulation from Buffalo, N. Y. to
Trenton, N. J,
The party comprises four officers
and twenty-three men. They travel in
twelve government trucks bearing all
of their scientific apparatus and
camping equipment.
‘While in this vicinity the engineers
are making use of wall available fire
towers and high points of land for ob-
servation purposes. The Harvey Fire
Tower under the supervision of Irvin
Whispell, is being used by them as
their nearest base of operations in the
Dallas district.
The work was started from the U. S.
Survey station at Buffalo, N. Y., and
extends to Trenton, N. J.,, where it
meets the stations of the Eastern
Oblique of First Order Triangulation,
which runs along the Atlantic Coast.
A geodetic survey is one which
takes into account the fact that the
earth is curved. Most geodetic survtys
are for the purpose of supplying start-
ing points for local surveys. These
control surveys must be made with
the greatest accuracy and since they
extend over the entire country they
must be corrected for the curvature of
the earth’s surface, which is not uni-
form.
The surveyors do their work from
the tops of high mountains, using the
triangular method. Three high points
are selected, if trees or other objects
obstruct the view from point to point,
a temporary steel tower is erected, ‘At
night the engineers signal to each
other by the use of strong electric
light supplied by dry batteries. A code
is used so that they may communi-
cate easily. The stations are marked
with brass tablets set in stone of con-
crete.
Captain. Frank S. Bordon, a Tunk-
hannock young man, is in the Coast
and Geodetic Survey office at Wash-
are under his supervision.

ing to the nature of the case.
