OF their coats have vertical stripes,

frequent showers and rains they wear

In a downpour of rain the Paris
policeman hangs his cap on a hook in

his head the hood of short blue cape

This hooded cape is called capo.

Pennsylvania's Greatest Organization

lation.

An organization that has for i,s
constituency one-fourth the ponr'
lation OF great state like that of
Pennsylvania is surely not one to
be lightly thought of or poorly RAT.
ed in its scope of influence.
The Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Association is unquestiona.
bly, the greatest organization, relic.
ious or otherwise, within the bord.
ers OF our commonwealth. 1t is "a
federation of all the Protestant
Evangelical Sunday schools of the
State. 1t has a live and co.operat.
ing auxiliary organization in everv
county (67) in the State. The
counties i'll turn are subdivided into
district associations and through
the district organizations the last
school in the State is reached and
benefited.
In one great organization, there.
fore, there over seven hundred (7oo)
auxiliary bodies representing H.,
r44 units or Sunday schools with a
total membership of t,674,Gs7, or
about one-fourth of the inhabitants
of the State.
To care for the work of this great
organization calls for the services
of I6S, SIS men and women who
voluntarily give unstintingly of
their time and means to advance
the work. Such a display OF gen.
erosity cannot be eXcelled any
where.
This great organization and its
various auXiliary associations hold
over ? 900 conventions or meetings
during the year. Add to this the
regular weekly sessions of each one
of the II,I44 Sunday schools in the
State and we have nearly $4,000
meetings held annually i'll the in
terest of promoting Bible study and
character building.
Surely such an influence steadily
and Systematically exercised i'll the
interest of better manhood and a
better womanhood for our CON-
monwealth should be given high
place in the consideration of think.
ing men and women.
The representative of this great
organization meet annually in con-
vention for the improvement and
extension of their work. This year
the convention will be held in Har-
risburg, October I3, IA and IS.
The Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Association maintains an Of
fee with headquarters in the city
of Philadelphia. 1t employs force
of ten people who are Sunday school
specialists. They give their entire
time to the work attending conven-
tions, institutes, schools of meth
DDS and visiting local schools. The
work is interdenominational in
character and has the hearty sup
port and endorsement of all Prot
estant Evangelical bodies. The
reason for the existence of this in.
terdenominational cooperative aC-
tivity can be expressed by one
word-Improvemen,.
A local committee in Harrisburg

A Latter-day Academic Ad.

An unique departure in the line
of university advertising reached
our desk few days since. We
were struck with its unusual char
acter. 1t is an eight page pamphlet
sent out by we'll known university
and is entitled The Student as an
Investor, Reprinted with permis-
sion from the E0ening Post, New
York, Saturday, August 7, 1909.
Most literature of this sort gen
orally dwells upon the superiority
of the faculty, the attractive courses
offered, and like matter, but as the
following extracts will show, this
is bit out of the ordinary.
Free tickets for plays or con-
certs it says, that are little above
the heads of the public and need
some "papering," are constantly
being sent to city universities, aud
may be had for the asking. If these
do not coincide with mans tastes,
there is always the gallery of the
gods, and man can hear the opera
and get fifty cents to boot if ne will
carry a spear as "supe."
For the benefit of him who has
never been abroad or who wishes
to refresh his memories, there are
whole sections OF Europe that have
been imported Ell bloc. He can see
real Italian fiesta, or go to the
marionette theatre where the best
seat is ten cents, or to a Russian
church service. He can dine mex
pensively i'll France, Germany
Greece, Hungary, Syria-or Bohe-
mia. The advertised Bohemia, by
the way, is but dreary and taw-
dry region, but for the man who
knows where to look there are real
Bohemian oases in plenty.
