Monday April 13-1914 Pottsville, Penn. Barrell and the students went to St Clair to see the coal mines. I did not go with them but remained and fetched a box of Morris' stuff via Adams. Called on Drs. H. J. Hartlein to see his Ancient Church tools. They are better than those that Lyon has. Left Pottsville at 3.13 P.M. on P. R. R. to Hazleton, where we arrived at 4.30. Left at 5.05 on trolley line for Scranton, Hazleton is in the top of an old undirected penplain. We have been coming over the top of the ridges at 1500 to 1700 feet above the sea. In all of the valleys small and large are small and large coal fields that come in slantly above the Pottsville conglomerate. Left Hickok station at 6.26, changed cars in Scranton. Arr Scranton at 7.30.
