Delightful Kinder garteners '
Crown Year of Fine Work
Their Exercises Charm a Large
Attendance and Prove Most
Interesting and Successful
Best of all the children did it
themselves. At first the many mothr
ers and others attending could not
believe it, but when they saw the
real earnestness of the little ones
and the way they went about their
self-appointed tasks there was no
doubt about it. Here was the new
education in the working—the kind
that interests the child , in things that
train and develop—the growth of
mind with a growth of beauty and
health y play. Of course Miss Mar-garet
Langworthy was there to
direct and Miss Miller helped great-ly
by her skilled playing, but the im-portant
people were the children and
the big thing was the kindergarten
idea. Those who saw it all needed
no further argument to convince
them that the kindergarten work
must always be an important part
of the educational plan in Hol'shoy.
Among those present was Mr,. M.
S. Hershey who was deeply impress-ed
by the exorcises.
The program was planned and
curried out entirely by the children.
They sent out the invitations ,, each
one with a drawing by one of their
number. They dramatized one of
their stories , "The Throe Boars ,"
and used several of their favorite
songs in a song playlet of the sea-sons,
This was a wonderful thing
for thorn to do and thoy did it ho well
that It was enthusiastically applaud-ed
find was much commented upon.
Even the costumes and flowers wore
designed and made by the children.
It proved very clearly that the kind-ergarten
toachoH self-expression and
dovolopos initiative and that the
child who attends is laying the foun-dation
for executive ability and suc-cess
in the future , Tho members of
the kindergarten who with few ex-ceptions
were present unri helped to
make tho al'tornoon a perfectly de-lightful

proof of hoi " work and devotion,
For several months the bachelors of
Hershey and Hummelstowri have been
planning ah entertainment that would
be a compliment to their friends and
serve as a sign of appreciation for
the hospitalities they had enjoyed
from the married folks of the. two
towns. The result was "An Evening
With The Bacnelors," at the Hershey
Cafe last night. It began at eight
o'clock and continued until long past
midnight. There were two orchestras
and the music kept up all the while.
A reception was followed by the din-ner
during which there was a com-plete
cabaret show, and afterwards
there " we're cards and dancing until
the small hours. In variety, enjoyment
and general happiness it was unique
and .The Hershey Cafe was trans?
formed into a wonder garden of
Spring blossoms, blooming trees,
playing fountains in varied hues, vine-and^
poppy covered , walls, Japanese
lanterns and lights of all the colors
of the rainbow. Nothing to equal it
has ever been seen in this part of Leb-anon
Valley.

artistic arrangement of dogwood
trees, plants, Japanese lanterns in
varied hues and many lights. Tables

decorations and were arranged so
as to allow full play for the entertain-ment
that came during the dinner.

Hershe y and Palmyra Agree
Two Will Stay Together in the Luth-eran
Parish
It has been decided by the Luth-erans
of Hershey and Palmyra that
they will remain in their same parish
and that there will be no separation

reached at a meeting this week and

Pay as You Enter
All Hershey Cars to be Run on This
New Plan
The handsome new cars of the Her-shey
Transit Company are Pay-As-
You-Enter and all the Hershey lines
will bo run on this proven plan. The
rule is being put into effect gradu-ally
and the cooperation of the pa-trons
is requested, Tho reason it is
done on some cars and not on others
is that all tho cars have not yet been
equipped with Pny-As-You-Entor
platform arrangements. This change
is being made.
Tho Pay-As-You-Entor has been
fully tested and established. It is
for tho convenience and better pro-tection
of the passengers, It keeps
tho conductor from going through the
cur when ho Is most needed on tho
platform and it saves his attention
for tho duties of his place. It has
heon found that the now system has
reduced accidents and greatly aided
in tho keeping of schedules. Where
tho passenger can cooperate is in hav-ing
his nickel or his ticket ready
when he enters. A little foresight
will help all around ,

More Beauty For Hershey
In Thousands of New Plants
Extensive Improvements on the Big
Hill. Many Pine Trees for the
' New Golf Course. Another Ad-dition
to the Mansion
Grounds. New Fountain
More than 50,000 trees, plants and
shrubs have been used in the develop-ment
and adornment of Hershey but
in 1915 the planting will be the most
important since the new town began.
Just now the most active »work is
on the big hill which until th<S final
name is selected is called Prospect
Heights and which overlooks Hershey
and commands one of the noblest
views in America. Around the reser-voirs
on the summit rails and bannis-ters
are being built. Two handsome
pergolas and four charming summer
houses are under way. The material
is cement. Down the hill , will be the
procession of cascades and here the
work is very artistic and skillful. The
cascade basins will be of cement but
the facing will be of natural rock so
arranged that it will ultimately have
the appearance of native springs
flowing from natural rock. All
around will be beautiful vines and
flowers, including many roses. On
the heights are being planted 2,500
hemlocks and 1,000 honeysuckles,
these being in addition to the 20,000
plants put in last year. The hill will
be a mound of bloom and lovliness;
To the southeast of the big hill is
the new golf course covering 200 acres
and containing 18 greens. Here 18,-
000 small pine trees are being planted;
Addition to Mansion Grounds
The corner at the southeast of the
Mansion Grounds running practically
to Chocolate Avenue will be turned
into a unique and beautiful place.
Along the new stone ' walls will, be
100 Hiawatha roses producing masses
of pink. . At the entrance will be an
immense flower bed filled with Japa-nese
weeping cherries and other bril-liant
plants. ¦ There will be an artis-tic
fountain and around it will be
vines arid shrubs. Inside there will
be a profuse use of different kinds of
shrubbery.
In addition to the . plant and floral
work of the Hershey interests there
is more private planting this year
than ever before. The total of new
plants in the town runs into tens of
thousands.
