StaufTor, More Than Eight Thousand Persons Have Attended the Different Meet-ings Since the Season Began on the 25th of Last October. Dr. Seasholes on Sunday Mr. M. S. Hershey, who is respon-sible for the union services which have been of so much benefit to Hershey during_ the past five months, is sched-uled to preside over the . concluding meeting next Sunday at 3 o'clock. It is planned to make this meeting es-pecially attractive and successful. The speaker will be Dr. Charles L. Seasholes of Philadelphia, who will speak on "Brains and the Bible." Of Dr. Seasholes it is said, "He gained a reputation as an orator and thinker in the University, and he maintains that high standard in the lecture field. His lectures show careful re-search into science, literature and his-tory." His address is expected to be one of the finest of the whole year. In addition to the regular .program there will be a round-up of the 23 local men who have acted as leaders at the 23 meetings and with them the others who have shown their coopera-tion. There is cordial appreciation of the local ministers all of whom have joined in the movement. There will be special music, with the .orches-under Director Feese and several se-lections in addition to the fine con-gregational singing. It is expected that the theater will be filled. All are invited, but it will be well to come early. The services start promptly at 3. Mr. Peck Pleases ; Last Sunday Arthur K. Peck of Boston presented "Village Life in Oberammergau and the Passion Play." Many considered it the ' best enter-tainment of the year. The pictures were beautiful and Mr. Peck's lecture was interesting, informing and rever-ent. He held • the crowded audience for an hour and a half. So fasci-nating1 was the presentation that no one wanted to leave and thus the whole crowd remained until the end which was just about five o'clock. This large number of people leaving the services at the same time made an im-pressive scene. At the first, lecture of the series the attendance was less than 60. On Sun-day it was probably over 600. This shows how well the union services have succeeded. The total attend-ance at all the meetings has been over 8,000. S. T. Bacastow was leader for the day. Rev. George S. Rentz read the lesson and asked the invocation. The music included selections by the or-chestra, the congregational singing and a very enjoyable number by the Men's Chorus under Mr. Dubois. The ushers were Michael Canter, John Zoll, Harvey Berry and Baton Marks, Union Services Next Sunday Will be the Last of the Season The Easter Flower Show Hershey's Flower Show this Easter will far excell the shows of other years both in profusion and variety, Tho full announcement of its attrac-tions will be given in next week's Press. All who can should come to Hershey on Easter Sunday to see tho flowers. It will afford a fine opport-unity for automobile parties to mark tho day by something that thoy will remember as long as they live. Thoy can make a stop in Hershey memor-able and thoy can complete its on- 1 joyment by dining at the Hershey 1 Cafe , where a special dinner will bo | served from 12 to ], and a special J supper from fi to (i , and whore meals j a la carte can bo obtained at any time during tho day, Another Record Hike Another record "hike " was nmdo from this place to Reading during Saturday night and Sunday morning by Elmer Swartz and Paul Miller of this place. Ralph Imbodon started , but a short distance below WoiiioIh-dorf loft the party and returned homo by train. The party left llershoy at 11 o'clock on Saturday evening, and after walking all that night and up until J(),20 Sunday morning ar-rived in the city of Reading. They returned homo Sunday afternoon on tho 4,18 train ovor the Reading Rail-road.

Penmanship used In tho Morshoy hoIiooIh , spent tho greater part of liiHt li'rlday hol'o In tho intoniHt of the writing. Ho was high-ly pleased with the progress mado by both pupils and touchers.

Students in Hershe y Schools Get Practical Education Remarkable Examples, of Their Work in the Latin Department. Nearly a Hundred Exhibits of Applied Knowledge. The New Way of Instruction. Results In Hershey the idea of education is to put knowledge into practice. Text-book proficiency is all right but doing the actual work is the real thing. An instance of the general policy is the upbuilding of the Latin Department in the M. S. Hershey Consolidated Public- Schools. This department is under Miss Mar rie H. Johnson. It happens that Miss Johnson's aunt is one of the most gift-ed Latin scholars and educators of America* and while Miss Johnson's specialty is German, it was rare good fortune that put the Latin under her care in the Hershey school, for it re-ceived not only the benefit of her abili-ty in language lut also and especially the interest and cooperation , of her aunt. The result is a unique exhibit that fills the walls and several ' tables in two rooms of the school and that numbers close to a hundred specimens, practically all made or arranged by the pupils, showing the actual camps, war machines, instruments and uni-forms of the Romans, even reproduc-ing a Roman home and then by scores of charts demonstrating the modern use of Latin words, terms, architec-ture, art and the whole ramification of Latin in our present day life and speech. , < • „.. ¦.• ' " . " , Here are some of the exhibits : Large charts showing the meaning of words- by examples from English writers that contain many Latin de-rivatives; trees, trunks and branches of Latin words running through our English ¦• speeelv;_ familiar abbrevi-tions; unusual English words from Latin sources; words seen in classical characters; actual Latin words in the English language; dictionary page showing the per centage of Lat-in in present speech ; many opinions on the use of latin from the authori-ties of the world, including letters written especially for this exhibit; maps of Caesar's campaigns in color with references to the battles in the presen<;,„wii£;. tribal movements; map showing that "00 per cent of Italian j French and Spanish come-from. Latin; forms of literature from the Latin writers; opinions of teachers in Eng-lish and from leading journalists; familiar bills-of-fare v in Latin; many examples of Latin in our daily speech and work ; ' pictures show-ing the development of the dome from the Parthenon in Rome, then St. Peter's,' then the Par-thenon in Paris and finally the capital at Harrisburg; the interesting my-thology of flowers, with beautifu l pic-tures of the narcissus, hyacinth , prim-rose and others ; Latin maxims quot-ed in the courts today; earthquake proclamation of 1908 showing Latin in present Italian and then a modern Italian newspaper; familiar seals showing Latin inscriptions; Mercury as a representative of advertising; letters from business men to Hershey school boys; Latin in diseases , in all the details of life , in the. planning of modern cities , illustrated; tracin g tho arch from tho earliest clays to tho Washington Arch in Now York; clas-sical architecture in modern build-ings , tombs and great amphitheaters; and many others equally interesting. Doing the Real Thing But this is not all. Tho girls of the classes have constructed with card board and other. materials tho Roman home. Witli a baker 's dozen of dolls they have reproduced tho Roman uni-forms and have learned tho names of costume details. It is hardly fair to discriminate among; tho 7!) members in tho Latin classes, but it happens that Frank Smith , Earl Brown , Harry Eliy, Martin (Stable, Hnrvoy Horshoy and some of tho other hoys have dono very unusual work in mechanical re-productions of tho Roman machines and articles, Largest of those is Caesar's Bridge built by Amos Leh-man , tho ronl thing capitally dono in all its details , Including the abut-ments. Tho big towor by Frank Smith is four stories , with bridge, ar-row slingor on top and all tho details ---a most craditublo piece of clover construction , Interesting is tho big bullistu built by Harry Eby. This is an excellent piece of work, The. sumo may bo said of the groat catapult iniule by Frank Smith , tho small tow-er mado by Martin Stable , tho tostudo by Earl Brown and ofchor objects made by tho boys. Then thorei is tho Roman camp com-plete in cardboard touts and all tho details. ' Tho poopla of Dorry Township should sou' this exhibit , It will inter-est thorn. 'anil It wll| Increase their prldo In- tholr boys and girls and In tholr school. Child ren Intoiented More children go to »oo tho now ponies than all tho other animals In the Zoo. Hold Meeting in Hershey and Re-ceive Plans For Extra Facilities at the Local Railway Station. A Great Attendance Ex- | pected. Steel Arrived While the great steel trusses for the tabernacle which is to seat 5,000 people were being unloaded at the station the committee of arrange-ments of the Church of the Brethren were meeting in the Hershey Inn and perfecting the plans for the confer-ence in June. Hershey is a central point of the country in which the .de-nomination is strongest ; there are 20,- 000 membez's within its radius, and so the local interest is unusually keen,- but tens of thousands will come from other states and from points as far away as the Pacific Coast, The committee of arrangements are: I. W. Taylor, chairman; Samuel H. Hertzler, secretary; John Herr, treasurer; J. H. Lorigenecker, Jesse Ziegler, John C. Zug, G. N. Falken-stein. Mr. Mauger, Traveling Passenger Agent of the Reading railroad, met the committee and received the sugges-tions of the committee that shelter sheds.be erected at the station for the protection of the crowds who will .at-tend the Conference in June. The train service will be improved by several extra trains. There will be a special excursion rate between Har-risburg and Lebanon. The P. & R. has also promised to provide an ex-tra baggage room and bureau of in-formation on the north side of the track for the occasion. The programs for the various ac-tivities of the Church, are nearing completion and will be found of un-usual interest to members of the Church and all Christian workers. An effort is being made by the Lodging Committee to procure a num-ber tents to be erected near the audi-torium. On the whole the commit-tee is specially pleased with the uni-form kindness and courtesy of the Hershey management. Everything looks favorable f or an early.completion of all arrangements necessary for the accommodation arid comfort of the thousands who are expected: Publications of the Church of the Brethren show that the coming annu-al conference in Hershey will be a truly big event. They contain many pleasant allusions to Hershey. The Brethren Family Almanac for 1915 just issued has a half-tone of Hershey with this inscription : "Hershey, Pa., where the Annual Meeting for 1915 will be held. The accommodations are said to be splendid. Here the Standing Committee will meet and or-ganize on the morning of June 3, while the Conference proper opens June 8. An excellent program is be-ing arranged for the occasion." The new almanac shows that the church has 3,002 ministers ; that its mission-ary receipts are $100,000 a year; that it maintains more than fifty mission-aries in India , China , Sweden and Denamark; that it has seven great church boards and that it maintains fourteen homes for old folks and or-phans. Tho church is i ncreasing con-stantly and this year it is experienc-ing a general revival , with many ac-cessions to its membership. Committee on Arran gements Getting Ready For Next June

the children . It was recognized that
the fight could not be won without
their work. Each child will get both
a swatter and a leaflet telling of the
dangers of the flies.
