Fund This Year Goes Ahead of all Previous Amounts and Assures a Happy ' and Prosperous Holiday in Hershey. The New Terms In Hershey . the Christmas Savings Club is a growing success. In 1912 there ,were 200 members and they saved $4,000'. In 1913 there -were 500 members and they saved ,$12,- 000. . .,; ' ' . ' •' • This year there are over 7D0 mem-bers and on , the 15th they will re-ceive checks for more than $18,000. It is a signal proof of the force_ of saving. S, C. StecherJ treasurer of the Hershey Trust Company, is de-lighted with, the showing. There is nothing in this section to equal it. Even Hummelstown with a much larger population has only 400 mem-bers and $10,000 in its fund. The new club will open the last week in December—aad—f4ilL-particul=- ars will be printed in the Pressr~The plan will be improved and the con-vience of the members will be served by changing the payments to even amounts. The fund not only makes the member save but it draws good interest and works for the owner. Out of the Christmas idea has grown some very healthy permanent sav-ings accounts, and much of the $18,- 000 due this month will be kept in the bank. 700 Members Get $18,000 in Their Christmas Savings Shipping Cocoa to Europe Hershey Chocolate Company Hand , —ling-Important-Orders - For the past two weeks the Her-shey Chocolate Company has been filling orders_ fpr cocoa received for Enrjap_ean_sjripmerit. This week there have been consignments daily. The war has seriously interfered with the cocoa industry in European countries and they are turning to America for their supply. Agents sought out the Hershey Company as the one that was best prepared to handle the busi-ness. . • At the same time the home demand for the Hershey products is greater than it has ever been. School Fund Growing Since September the Average Has Been Higher Than Last Year One of the happiest ideas in con-nection with the M. S. Hershey Con-solidated School is the savings fund of the pupils. Each Monday morning the pupils give their deposits to their teachers who turn them over to the principal Professor Keboch who tabu-lates them and deposits them in the Hershey Company where they draw interest. The plan was started to in-culcate practical lessons of thrift among boys and girls, but it is doing much more than that. It is making them save money and the delightful discovery in the whole experiment is the pride they take in their funds. They have bank books just as their parents have and they value them with peculiar satisfaction. There are now 202 depositors and since . the plan was begun they have deposited $1,457.97. In the ten weeks since the present session opened they have , deposited $850,47, which is a higher weekly average than during the last year. Among; the most en-thusiastic savors are the Italian chil-dren. Teachers Institutes Meets Interesting Session Hold in the Her-shey Consolidated School The Touchers' Institute hold a very interesting mooting Tuesday evening in the M. S. Horshoy Consolidated Public School Building. In spite of the inclemency of tho weather eigh-teen members wore present. , Professor F. D. Keboch presided and Miss Horshoy was secretary. Mr. Koboch made an address which start-ed tho proceedings happily and Miss Blanche Wlngort sang a solo very beautifully. Echoes of tho Institute was tho progra m of tho evening and it con-sisted in personal recitals of tho im-pressions tho members had brought away from tho recent big mooting in Hnrrisburg. It was all oxtromoly interesting. It was decided to tnko up tho study and discussion of "Discipline of tho School," by Morehouse, and this book will bo tho bnslH of tho proceedings for th e next mooting, which will bo hold in January, Thanks giving at Y. W. C. A On Thanksgiving Day olovon girls sail 'down to a family turlcoy dinner' in tho cafeteria of tho Y. W. C. A, Tho table was prettily docoratod and tho foust was greatly onjoyod. In the Remarkable Photo-Play of Quo Vadis There is a Succession of Scenes and Incidents That r Keeps the Interest on Edge. Big Thing For Hershey • It is a fine thing that Manager Heilman has succeeded in bringing to Hershey that most remarkable of all motion pictures, Quo Vadis. In ord-er to appreciate this photo-play one must dismiss ideas of the' usual pic-ture and think of two and a half hours of wonder moving and walking in full life before you. So marVelous is it that_you find yourself exclaiming over it, as though the human beings were speaking to you and the lions were advancing upon you. And it is far more than an enter-tainment. It will teach young people more history in the two hours than they -could , learn from books in two months. Not only is it the duty of parents to attend but also should they take their children with them. To miss Quo Vadis is to let go an op-portunity. The writer of these lines paid a dollar to see this motion play and he got the worth of his money. The audience .on that occasion num-bered over ^2,000. ' The success of the play has been scored in every part of the world and millions have witnessed it. In Hershey you see for 10 and 20 cents precisely what the writer and millions of others paid fifty cents or a dollar to see. Manager Heilman secured interesting literature to go. with the performance and you should read this arid so be prepared not only to enjoy to the full a magnificent .spectacle but to adequately under-stand its historial importance. . It will be on Saturday, December 5. The matinee will be at 2.30 and the evening performance at 8.15. Over Two Hours of Wonder at Hersh ey Central Theater Male Chorus Fine Start First Meeting Monday Evening Under the Direction of Mr. Dubois The Male Chorus was partially or-ganized Monday night with the fol-lowing men present: Messrs. L. P. Emerick, E. J. Krause, "W. C. Brinker, Charles Peiffer , Chance Phillips, John Seitzinger, Edwin Schwenk, James Brunner, Ralph Hartman, J. N. Smith, H. W. Stine, Mr. "Williams 'and Thomas Ingram. "W. L. Dubois was leader with Mr. Krause at the piano. Excellent ma-terial was developed and there is no doubt that the chorus will become one of the institutions of Hershey. Mr. Dubois said, "We got a very good start on a few songs. It will be our purpose' to sing music of a high class so that there will be profit as well as pleasure in belonging to the club." The next meeting will be held Mon-day evening in the same place—the new room of the Hershey Men's Club. It is expected that the attendance will be double that of the first meeting. All men who have voices should join this chorus. . They will receive bene-fits themselves while giving enjoy-ment to others. Hershey Store Full of Beauty Never Was There Such an Array of Attractive Holiday Goods Tho Christmas season opened with a rush at the Hershey Store last Sat-urday and everybody was delighted with tho now goods. Tho big Christ-mas tree and tho hundreds of now toys and holiday articles drew crowds which have continued all the week. • Tho free photograph for chil-dren under six brought a hundred youngsters and their parents to the photograph gallery and tho results were beyond expectations. This year tho Horshoy Store has laid in a larger and finer stock than over and it has brought to Lebanon Valley all tho ad-vantages of city shopping with rea-sonable prices and the host qualities. This groat establishment with its 28 departments covers tho whole field of merchandise and its largo purchas-ing power is a direct bono At to its customers. Tho. rango of its trade ¦widens all tho time and many aro coming to Hershey for thoir shopping. Tho ndvlco is to shop onrly, so as to got tho pick of tho now goods. The Spot Dance Tonight Tonight tho spot danco will bo giv-en and it is expected to draw a largo attendance. It is n unique affair and nil aro invited. Tho admission la 15 cents for ladies and 20 cents for mon. Earle y-Houser John Enrloy, of Palmyra, and Miss Katie Housor, of Grantvlllo, wore unit ed in marriage at tho United Brethren' parsonage, Hlghsplro, Thanksgiving evening at .4 o'clock by tho Rev. II. P. Rhond, Tho couplo will reside at Palmyra, Departme nt with Twenty Pup ils Added to Hershey Industrial School NEW BOYS ARE MAINLY FROM DAUPHIN, LANCASTER AND LEBANON COUNTIES AND THEY ARRIVED THIS WEEK. HANDSOME BUILDING WHICH IS NOW BEING COM-PLETED. , ITS ATTRACTIVE FACILITIES. ¦ This week saw the installation of the third unit of the great scheme of the Hershey i ndustrial School. It was an important event in the his-tory of this community and of this county but it was done so quietly that few knew anything about it. All that these few knew was that 18 orphans from Dauphin, Lancaster and Lebanon counties had arrived and that the new building was about completed. But there is a story back of. all this. The .orphans had been selected.with great care. They are all right physically; they have sane mental ^equipments; their an-tecedents are good; in short they are the material for strong men and lead-ing citizens. What they will receive in the Hershey Industrial School is the big chance to make the most of themselves and they will be taken on up through all the grades of educa-tion until they find their best de-velopment. So, it is very likely that in the score of boys who came this week are future governors, members of Congress, bank presidents, million-aires and successful men of their times. The new building of the school is the old Ginrich farm house entirely-remodeled and much enlarged. It stands about a block away from the main school building—which is the birthplace of M. S. Hershey—and is on the opposite side of the road. It has two stories with 8 rooms, bath and dormitory and it is about 60 feet long and 35 feet wide. It is ideal in its fixtures which include a thermos-tat insuring uniform temperature, a wonderful ventilation system and the best of bathing arrangements. Each boy has his enamel bed with wool mattress and his personal equip-ment. No millionaire has better comforts. " , Growth of the School While the new crowd received this week is the third unit it is in reality the second department. The de-partments in operation are the khv dergarten and the main school, and the new unit will be the primary school. The whole plan is being built up on units of 20. The present enrollment is: kindergarten, 20,; pri-mary,' 18, with 2 to be added soon , and main school, 20. The present teach-ing and managing staff consists of 14, with George Copenhaver in charge. In the kindergarten the tots are trained on a modified ,Froebel sys-tem; In the next department they are taught to make use of their hands by stripit and clipit outfits with which they make bridges, ladders, wheel-barrows and all sorts of things out of st^eel straps and wooden strips. When they reach the main school they go into actual mechanics and the quality of their work is remarkable. For ex-ample, the 20 boys of the upper school sleep on very attractive quartered-oak bedsteads which they made them-selves. They have done unusually excellent work during the year and their crops, except the corn , have been very productive . In the near future thq new ma-chine shops will bo constructed and then there will bo modern dopart- Cients for the following: foundry, lacksmithing, woodworking, electric-ity, tinsmithing and others. Tho development of tho school is proceeding splendidly but it is being done quietly along safe lines and is not being exploited. When visitors come they . express their amazement that such advanced work is being car-ried on so quietly, but that is the pro-gram and tho purpose—a perfect homo school for healthy boys who 'will load tho righ t life and grow up into strong, modest, useful mon. They aro boys, too, with plenty of enthusi-asm, and they make thoir school problems real. You should see thoir model store and loam how well it is conducted! Happy Thanksgiving Tho boys had a happy Thanksgiv-ing Day. Tlioy "attacked Turkey and came out all over Greece," as one boy put it. There was no school work—tho most concrete cause for, thanksgiving by tho boys—and the day was spent in games, hikes, rabbit hunting and eating. When evening came tho groat event was on and thoy hud an entertain-ment all to themselves. Tho boys did very nicely. It was too bad thoy could not have had It in Horshoy as thoy did last year, but circumstances prevented. The following program was rendered : Song, "America "; n Thanksgiving Hay Acrostic, by twelve boys; selections on tho "Firs t Thanksgiving Day," Ralph Soudors, David Schaffner, Guy Web-er, Edward MnuHnh', Konnoth Killinn, Otho Scholfor, Robert Hagoy, Charles Schoup, Stanley Troxoll and Carl Smith ; "Gay Hallowe'en ," Clinton ! s yon Zeigenhem; "Helping Mother," Frederick Taskey; "The Squirrel's Arithmetic," Binom Bishop; "Oer the River and Thro' the "Wood," Robert Cadiz; Song, "Thanksgiving at Grandpa's"; "A Bird With a Broken Wing," Irvin Wagner; "This or That," Edward Maulfair; Exercise, "What We're Thankful For," Henry Stump, Harold Souders and Carl Smith; "The Kind of a Boy to Be," Harry Maulfair; Song, ''Turkey Land"; "A Turkey's Soliloquy," Lewis Kilhefer; "The First Thanksgiving," John Greif; Song, "Thanksgiving Day, Heigh!

Pupils Study in Library Reference Books Available for Chil-dren of Hershey Schools Arrangements have been made at the Hershey Free Public Library for the pupils of the Consolidated Schools to use the books of reference which have not been available before be-cause some of them are too heavy to be taken from the Library. A table in the Librarian's office has been set aside for the children, and there they may consult the dictionaries and en-cyclopedias, thus gaining assistance in the preparation of their lessons. It is believed that this is a considera-ble step forward in the effort to in-crease the service of the Library and the value of its books. That the young folks appreciate the Library's advantages is shown by the record of exchanges for Novem-ber. The number of juvenile books taken out was 224, compared with 146 in October. Encouraging, too, is the increase in reading of children's books other than fiction. This was 77 in November, while in October the number was 49. Last month was the busiest since the Library was started. In all, 763 volumes were exchanged, the daily average reaching enarly 32. The Oc-tober record was 724 exchanged, the daily average not quite 27,- and the Library was open three days longer than in November. As a result of the bulletin calling attention to the more valuable books and the Special Shelf on which these •are displayed, tho non-fiction taken out during tho month almost doubled, the figures jumping from 24 to 47. The addition of 48 new members brought the total number of borrow-ers to 098, all but 25 of whom are participating. It was a record-breaking month in every way. Straight From Lancaster Manager J. R. Kroidor , of the Hor-shoy Transit Company, has made ar-rangements with tho Conostoga Trac-tion Company to tnko care of pic-nics from Lancaster tho coming year and run them in cars direct to Hor-shoy without changfo , coming over tho now lino from Elizabothtown to Horshoy which will bo completed in tho Spring. Freight on the Trolleys Owing to tho now stamp taxes all freight oh tho Horshoy Transit linos must' bo prepaid , The conductors will furnish receipts and to every bill ono cent must bo added for 'the rov-nuo stamp. Tho law wont into effect on tho 1st of December. Fasnacht-Yort y Daniel Pasnachl; of Campbolltown and Miss Mabel Yorty of Hummels-town wore married on Thanksgiving. Tho bride has boon employed at tho Horshoy Chocolate Company for a number of years and has many friends. Mr. Fnsrincht is also well known at this place having boon con-nected with tho Company hero until last year, when ho removed to Lltlt/.. Thoy will reside in LiUtz. Its Winter Activities ,Are on the Boom and its Four Hundred and Fifty . Members are Showing a Dispo-sition to Take Part in the . Events; Useful Agency With 450 members and with a modern equipment that spreads over a large three story granite building with an annex the Hershey Men's Club is finding itself and is taking in more interests and activities than in any season in its history. One eve-ning recently over one hundred mem-bers were present at various meet-ings in the different rooms, and every evening there are . scores and the game tables and apparatus are. in full use. During the day the attendance is small because. the men in Hershey all work. The juniors are doing better than ever this year. For the present week their program is: Monday evening, Social Work, Al-len Fiddler committee leader. Tuesday evening, Scout Work, M. S. May leader. Wednesday evening, Electricity; wireless telegraphy, Cyrus Garman leader. Thursday evening, Birds and Plant Life, J. Adam Dellet leader. Friday evening, Photography, Har-ry Kader leaden In this work boys take their own pictures, and processes and methods are examined and dis-cussed. It is good interesting, prac-tical work. The chairman of the whole junior committee is George Hench. Satur-day afternoons scout work and gen-eral outside matters are taken up. On Thanksgiving Day 30 boys par-ticipated in the hare and hound race. So well have matters gone that there will be an effort soon to increase the facilities by fixing up the unused room in the basement. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings the Seniors have their regular gym-nasium work in all kinds of indoor athletics. The item of main interest recently has been the contest between the Roosters under Edward Lewis and the Boosters under George Hench. This will go on until February. " The score is counted as follows: 1 point for every man present; 5 points for every new man joining the Club; 3 points for the man who has not been in the gymnasium this year; 5 points for every contest won each class night. Everything is being done to stimulate membership interest and to get the members, to the club. The Purpose Club A unique feature is the Purpose Club composed of the twelve em-ployees of the Club who meet every two weeks and have heart to heart talks over their work and the club's possibilities, the twelve being J. M. Brandau, S. S. Kettering, Edith Ful-ler, Thomas Black, W. W. Leibfried, Robert Stubblebine, ' James Roberts, William Ceiling, Fred Klinger, Ed-ward Slesser, John Moyer, Lee Acker. The December schedule of speakers is: 6t;h, Dr. W. T. S. Gulp; 13th, Dr. Byron W. King; 20th. Dr. C. C. Mit-chell; 27th, Dr. George P. Bible. Hershey Men's Club Now Gettin g Into Full Swing Thanksgiving in Hershey Services in the Morning and Enter-tainment in the Evening It was mild and confortable on Thanksgiving Day in Horshoy. Many wont to thoir former homes in other places but most people remained, in town, At Derry Presbyterian Church thoro wore union services with a strong and appropriate sermon by Rov. N. L. Linobaugh , pastor of tho First United Brethren Church, and with fine music by tho combined choirs. Tho attendance was excel-lent. In tho evening thoro wore in-teresting services in tho Church of the Holy Trinity with an admirable sermon on "Give Thanks Unto Him," by tho pastor, Rov. Frederick C. Krapf. From noon until ono o'clock a fam-ily turkey dinner was served by Ca-terer Krnuso at tho Horshoy Cafe. It was a sumptuous fonst and quite a number of tho homo people joine d tho regular guests in enjoying it. Tho tables woro artisticall y arranged. In tho evening tho audionco at tho Hoi'Hhoy Central Thoator surpassed all expectations. The opening feat-ures woro drills by tho Camp Flru Girls and a Folk Drill by tho Juniors , under Miss Burch. All did well and ovoltod enthusiastic applause, being recalled. Those young Indies woro strong, lovely1 and graceful and thoir movements and songs pleased great-ly. Tho moving pictures wore of un-usual morlt. Tho main attraction was tho Lebanon Plootum Quintette and Its string music won several en-cores. It consisted of Harry S. Al-bright, mandola; Laltoy Z. Shinor, mandolin; LoRoy B. Donough , mnndo-colo; Elslo L ,E. Loser, piano ac-companist, and Arthus W, Losor, con-ductor , mandolin and boll soloist. Thoro was considerabl e hunting on Thanksgiving Day. Union Meeting in the Hershey Cen-tral Theater Increases in Success Every Week. Last Sunday Was Especially Enjoyable. Fine i Address and Good Music The - success of the Sunday after-noon meeting grows each week. The attendance steadily increases. Last Sunday all Hershey was well represented arid there were many from Palmyra and the neighboring towns. This is fulfilling the purpose of the whole matter. President Mil-lard and his committees and Manager Brandau secured for the Hershey Men's Club able professional speakers for every Sunday afternoon of the winter. At first they were for men only, but the new Hershey Central Theater came into being' and it was decided to make use of this auditor-ium and . throw the meetings open to the public. Within a month the plan has , worked .beyond all expectations. It should be borne in mind that the invitation to these Sunday , meetings is broad and cordial. You are asked to come and to ask your friends to come and to tell them to bring their friends. There is always a live, in-teresting address with fine music and there is not a dull moment in the pro-gram. It Pays to be Good Last Sunday's speaker was Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis and his subject was, "Does It -Pay to be Good?" In an inspirational talk full of apt illus-trations and amusing anecdotes he proved that it was the only thing in life that did pay. It paid from the standpoint of money itself as well as of honor and happiness and memory. Dr. Ellis is a speaker of force with a right use of language and with no frills. He gets the gist and presents it simply and -he keeps the interest jumping from point to point, with the result that the i audience is always wideawake and wishing for more. The address was voted one of the most satisfactory ever heard in Her-shey. Presiding was S. D. Clark who ex-pressed the general thought when he said the house should be ' crowded every Sunday at these services. Lead-ing the singing was F. , D. Keboch and the choruses were so fine that he was impelled to say to the audience, "You surely can sing." This congre-gational singing is the chief delight of the day—it is very inspiring, and it was particularly good on Sunday. Soon the Palmyra Quartette will take part and so will the Young Women's Christian Association Glee Club and the Men's Chorus which was organ-ized this week. Already excellent the music of the Sunday afternoon meet-ings will become famed in Lebanon Valley. The orchestra under Direc-tor Feese was present and| played ef-fectively, as it always ' does. In charge of the ushers was Harry Hav-erstick and assisting him were M. S. May, Paul Gingrich and Walter Leib-fried. ' Dr. Gulp Next Sunday For the coming Sunday the. speak-er will be Dr. W. T. Sherman Gulp and his theme will be, "Uncrowned Kings." Dr. Gulp is a Chautauqua worker and one of the successful plat-form stars. A Chautauqua manager, Secretary Henry Peyton Cooper, writes: "Dr. W. T. Sherman Gulp gave four lectures and a number of Round Table talks at our Chautauqua this year and thoy wore the best wo had. 'Uncrowned Kings' came oh Woman's Day and pleased the throngs of brainy women who were in attend-ance. As a Chautauqua worker, Dr. Gulp is genial , entertaining and an all around success. Ho will honor any assembly. Wo want him again." Usually: an admission price of 25 or 50 cents is charged to Dr. Gulp's lectures, but thoro is no charge for admission to tho Sunday afternoon meetings at Horshoy and all aro cordially welcome. Season's Banner Audience Attends Sunday Services New Chur ch Members The Quarterly Communion services at tho First United Brethren church woro attended by 115 persons. Four now members woro received into tho Church at tho morning service, Thoy woro Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Dubois, from tho Methodist Episcopal Church, of Buffalo , N. Y.-, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert A. Newton , from the Congre-gational Church , of North Weymouth, Mass, Mr, Dubois is tho chemist for tho Horshoy Chocolate Company, and Mr, Nowton is Postmaster of' Hor-shoy, Pleased With Hershe y School Every wook thoro aro visitors from other sections to inspect tho M.

Fund This Year Goes Ahead of all
Previous Amounts and Assures
a Happy ' and Prosperous
Holiday in Hershey.
The New Terms
In Hershey . the Christmas Savings
Club is a growing success. In 1912
there ,were 200 members and they
saved $4,000'. In 1913 there -were
500 members and they saved ,$12,-
000. . .,; ' ' . ' •' •
This year there are over 7D0 mem-bers
and on , the 15th they will re-ceive
checks for more than $18,000.
It is a signal proof of the force_ of
saving. S, C. StecherJ treasurer of
the Hershey Trust Company, is de-lighted
with, the showing. There is
nothing in this section to equal it.
Even Hummelstown with a much
larger population has only 400 mem-bers
and $10,000 in its fund.
The new club will open the last
week in December—aad—f4ilL-particul=-
ars will be printed in the Pressr~The
plan will be improved and the con-vience
of the members will be served
by changing the payments to even
amounts. The fund not only makes
the member save but it draws good
interest and works for the owner.
Out of the Christmas idea has grown
some very healthy permanent sav-ings
accounts, and much of the $18,-
000 due this month will be kept in the
bank.

For the past two weeks the Her-shey
Chocolate Company has been
filling orders_ fpr cocoa received for

have been consignments daily. The
war has seriously interfered with the
cocoa industry in European countries
and they are turning to America for
their supply. Agents sought out
the Hershey Company as the one that
was best prepared to handle the busi-ness.
. •
At the same time the home demand
for the Hershey products is greater
than it has ever been.
School Fund Growing
Since September the Average Has
Been Higher Than Last Year
One of the happiest ideas in con-nection
with the M. S. Hershey Con-solidated
School is the savings fund
of the pupils. Each Monday morning
the pupils give their deposits to their
teachers who turn them over to the
principal Professor Keboch who tabu-lates
them and deposits them in the
Hershey Company where they draw
interest. The plan was started to in-culcate
practical lessons of thrift
among boys and girls, but it is doing
much more than that. It is making
them save money and the delightful
discovery in the whole experiment is
the pride they take in their funds.
They have bank books just as their
parents have and they value them
with peculiar satisfaction.
There are now 202 depositors and
since . the plan was begun they have
deposited $1,457.97. In the ten weeks
since the present session opened they
have , deposited $850,47, which is a
higher weekly average than during
the last year. Among; the most en-thusiastic
savors are the Italian chil-dren.

In the Remarkable Photo-Play of Quo
Vadis There is a Succession of
Scenes and Incidents That r
Keeps the Interest on Edge.
Big Thing For Hershey
• It is a fine thing that Manager
Heilman has succeeded in bringing to
Hershey that most remarkable of all
motion pictures, Quo Vadis. In ord-er
to appreciate this photo-play one
must dismiss ideas of the' usual pic-ture
and think of two and a half
hours of wonder moving and walking
in full life before you. So marVelous
is it that_you find yourself exclaiming
over it, as though the human beings
were speaking to you and the lions

Added to Hershey Industrial School
NEW BOYS ARE MAINLY FROM DAUPHIN, LANCASTER AND
LEBANON COUNTIES AND THEY ARRIVED THIS WEEK.
HANDSOME BUILDING WHICH IS NOW BEING COM-PLETED.
, ITS ATTRACTIVE FACILITIES. ¦
This week saw the installation of
the third unit of the great scheme of
the Hershey i ndustrial School. It
was an important event in the his-tory
of this community and of this
county but it was done so quietly
that few knew anything about it.
All that these few knew was that
18 orphans from Dauphin, Lancaster
and Lebanon counties had arrived
and that the new building was about
completed. But there is a story
back of. all this. The .orphans had
been selected.with great care. They
are all right physically; they have
sane mental ^equipments; their an-tecedents
are good; in short they are
the material for strong men and lead-ing
citizens. What they will receive
in the Hershey Industrial School is
the big chance to make the most of
themselves and they will be taken on
up through all the grades of educa-tion
until they find their best de-velopment.
So, it is very likely that
in the score of boys who came this
week are future governors, members
of Congress, bank presidents, million-aires
and successful men of their
times.
The new building of the school is
the old Ginrich farm house entirely-remodeled
and much enlarged. It
stands about a block away from the
main school building—which is the
birthplace of M. S. Hershey—and is
on the opposite side of the road. It
has two stories with 8 rooms, bath
and dormitory and it is about 60 feet
long and 35 feet wide. It is ideal in
its fixtures which include a thermos-tat
insuring uniform temperature,
a wonderful ventilation system and
the best of bathing arrangements.
Each boy has his enamel bed with
wool mattress and his personal equip-ment.
No millionaire has better
comforts. " ,
Growth of the School
While the new crowd received this
week is the third unit it is in reality
the second department. The de-partments
in operation are the khv
dergarten and the main school, and
the new unit will be the primary
school. The whole plan is being
built up on units of 20. The present
enrollment is: kindergarten, 20,; pri-mary,'
18, with 2 to be added soon , and
main school, 20. The present teach-ing
and managing staff consists of
14, with George Copenhaver in
charge. In the kindergarten the tots
are trained on a modified ,Froebel sys-tem;
In the next department they
are taught to make use of their hands
by stripit and clipit outfits with which
they make bridges, ladders, wheel-barrows
and all sorts of things out of
st^eel straps and wooden strips. When
they reach the main school they go
into actual mechanics and the quality
of their work is remarkable. For ex-ample,
the 20 boys of the upper school
sleep on very attractive quartered-oak
bedsteads which they made them-selves.
They have done unusually
excellent work during the year and
their crops, except the corn , have
been very productive .
In the near future thq new ma-chine
shops will bo constructed and
then there will bo modern dopart-
Cients for the following: foundry,
lacksmithing, woodworking, electric-ity,
tinsmithing and others.
Tho development of tho school is
proceeding splendidly but it is being
done quietly along safe lines and is
not being exploited. When visitors
come they . express their amazement
that such advanced work is being car-ried
on so quietly, but that is the pro-gram
and tho purpose—a perfect
homo school for healthy boys who
'will load tho righ t life and grow up
into strong, modest, useful mon. They
aro boys, too, with plenty of enthusi-asm,
and they make thoir school
problems real. You should see thoir
model store and loam how well it is
conducted!
Happy Thanksgiving
Tho boys had a happy Thanksgiv-ing
Day. Tlioy "attacked Turkey and
came out all over Greece," as one
boy put it.
There was no school work—tho
most concrete cause for, thanksgiving
by tho boys—and the day was spent
in games, hikes, rabbit hunting and
eating.
When evening came tho groat event
was on and thoy hud an entertain-ment
all to themselves. Tho boys did
