FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS SATURDAY Scranton High School and Wilkes Barre High School Elevens Meet on that Day. The football season will open on Saturday afternoon at "Athletic park, when the Scranton high school team will have for their opponents the Wilkes Bar high school eleven.

The local boys have been hard at work for the last three weeks, and under the efficient coaching of Prof. Eugene Fellows have developed into a fast aggregation of players. Of last year's squad but seven players remain. They are Captain Allan Thayer, Harry Edwards, Edward Levi, Ellsworth Kelly, Charles Mc Crindle. Calvin and John Jones.

When school opened with this small quota of experienced players on hand the management was In a great predicament. A strong appeal was made and some hustling was done by Manager Thomas Walsh, with the result that a large number of ambitious candidates were on the field to start work. At first it looked as thought the line would be comparatively light, but on the contrary it will be quite heavy. The new men, Justin Parrish and Walter Bircher, candidates for tackle and end respectively, have developed into very fast men and should strengthen the team considerably. Beavers, a new candidate for halfback, is considered very fast.

Levi, who played such a star game at right end last year, will this year play quarter. Edwards la also a promising candidate for halfback. Captain Thayer has not as yet decided what position he will play. Should it be necessary to place him on the line, he will go in as center. Wttman, Nelson, Brlnley, Evans, Hayes and Ryan are all promising candidates.

The Wilkes Barre team is composed of the same men who played last year. NEW SCHEDULE IN FORCE. Laurel Line Now Runs to Hancock, Near Wilkes Barre.

Nothing sensational developed at the meeting. Mr.

THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, ME CHURCHES Speaker at Convention of Evangelical Lutheran Ministerinm Explains Why Tlioy Don't Attend Services. 0FF1CEBS WERE ELECTED Many able addresses distinguished the opening session of the tenth annual convention of Sunday schools in the Wilkes Barre conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Mlnlsterium of Pennsylvania, held In St. Mark's church on the West Side. Nearly 100 delegates were in attendance and the representation was complete.

After the usual preliminaries, officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. W. M. Rehrig, Ph. Mauch Rev.

A. L. Ramer, Scranton; vice president, Rev. H. F.

Ritter, Scranton. The keynote of the convention, reli gious education, was then announced by Rev. E. P. Xander of Weissport.who addressed the convention on that sub ject.

"Educational Work of the Lutheran Church," a subject discussed by Rev, G. G. Kunkle of Summit Hill, called for a more specific and pronounced Chris tian education. He held the pulpit responsible in a large degree for the indifference in this regard. He advo cated Christian kindergarten schools.

It included a de partment conference, primary, inter mediate and Bible classes, religious educational subjects and religious in structors. Uuder religious education, Rev. E.

Per haps the most applicable subject under the general theme of religious instruc tion was the teachers' preparation for the lesson, which too frequently amounts to absolutely and Is almost invariably deficient Among the simple suggestions given by the Rev.

Dr. W. M. Rehrig. speaker were to study the lesson Ju dlciously, to use other references than the simple text leaves and, whenever possible, drive home important personal truths which present themselves in the daily routine of the pupil.

Primarily, the teacher must have in mind that he is not merely to amuse or consume the allotted time, but that he is morally re sponsible for the pupils' religious training. THE EVENING SESSION. The salient feature of the evening session was Rev, J. O. Schlenker's delivery on "The Problem of Young Men in Church Work." No man In the Rev.

J. J. Kuntz, Freeland. convention is better qualified to speak on such a topic, inasmuch as a large Sunday school in his charge at Hazle ton and a careful study of the prob lem, for such it is, has afforded him a good field for observation. There is no greater or more difficult problem conirontmg' the Christian today, said he, than the young men.

He confessed that, up to this time, it demands the entire attention of church thinkers and has successfully defied solution. With due respect to the women, the sorrow of the church and ministry was said to be the dearth of men in the church and Sunday school. Some In terestlng statistics were offered to sub stantiate the statement. For instance, two thirds of the delegates present were women; in the Sunday school four fifths of the teachers are women in the speaker's particular school, wiiere cuiiuiuous are aDnormai, nine tentns or tne teachers are women There are usually two women to one man in church, and four to one in prayer meetings, i Yet church records show an equal number of baptisms and the confirmation class the same pro portion. This dearth of un was attributed to physiological and physical reasons.

bad boy." There is a partiality manifest which leaves a marked impression on tne boy thus slighted. Then. too. the treatment of boys in the Sunday school was declared to be too feminine. Boys want to be treated as boys, not as girls.

Their temptations are infinitely greater than tkose of girls. Their work and amuserent is entirely differ ent, hence their treatment should be essentially the erne. The necessity of men in the church could not be gainsaid, said Rev. SchVenker. Mofe is expected of men.

rreacners are nen, not women. Trus tees are alwayamen. Man is the head of the house, lie legal representative of his family.

SECOND PKOPOSlTIOiN MADE Contrary to expectations, the answer of the journeymen plumbers to the arbitration proposition of the Builders' Exchange was not favorable. It was opened, together with that of the master plumbers, at a meeting last night, and though the members are not giving out any Information, it is known that the journeymen's answer rejected the proposition. Another effort will be made to have their consent to arbitration before stringent measures are resorted to. The plumbers' strike has been a peculiar one. The men went out months ago for an increase in wages and a shorter workday.

Both sides have since stood firm and though several half hearted attempts were made at settlement they came to naught. A short time ago the Builders' Exchange organized what is known as a board of governors. The purpose is to do away with strikes and petty labor troubles and the plumbers' difficulty was the first matter taken up. Communications proposing arbitration were sent to both sides. Answers were received from both factions.

That of the master plumb ers agreed to the proposal, but that of the journeymen did not. It is said they have taken this stand because they contend there is nothing to arbi trate. Though the members of the Build ers Exchange refused to give out any information, it is understood that the answer was a disappointment. They have decided to try again and a sec ond proposition is to be sent to the journeymen today. No further action will be taken until an answer is received.
