Mary's is designed in,medieval OLiic style and it has a medieval ■ Yet the school has one very com contact with the outside world a day the Canadian Colonial plane wings its way overhead Kj the pilot dips and waves his For just before either Newark K Albany he has received weather from the Sisters of the school. K :l r times a day they describe weathK r conditons to the United States bureau. ■To ilie outsider there is something about weather reports coin■jig from such a sequestered unworldMy spot. A school of this type should ■taruly be expected to be cooperating Kt-ith such a modern phase of life as Kiation. Yet the Sisters themselves nothing paradoxical about it. W "The Purpose of our order,” said ■pile of the nuns, "is service to others. Kfhe sending of daily reports rendering a service to the pilots and their ■passengers is a real responsibility; we Kre aware that upon our reports deBpends the safety of others. Conse■quently we endeavor to make our re■ports as accurate as possible. New Instruments Ordered 1 "Washington is sending us a com- ■ plete set of instruments so that in ■ tlie future we will be able to report ■ even more accurately than at present. ■ a tower will be erected on the bluff in ■ front of the school, with the instru■ments so arranged that we can read ■ them from inside the buildings.” The first report filed by the Sisters Bis phoned to Newark at 6:25 in the ■ morning. The three other reports ■ are telegraphed to Albany at 7:50, ■ 11:50 and 1:20. Frequently requests ■ for supplementary reports are receivBed especially when local conditions at ■ Newark and Albany are bad. Five Sisters including the Sister Superior 'take part in the work and at least ’two are always on duty to answer ( these special requests. With the exception of barometric readings the reports are complete —including ceiling, visibility, type of clouds, velocity of the wind and a note on general conditoins. The Sisters determine the ceiling by Dunderberg, a 1,200-foot elevation across the river. Visibility is checked by looking up and down the river, the Sisters knowing the distances to various points. The weather bureau officials have given the Sisters instructions on gauging wind velocity aud types of clouds. St. Mary's became a weather station as the result of a tour of explorJOHN F.

ation made by Capt. Hale Francisco, division superintendent of the al/ ways, over a year ago. As he flew down the river he spotted the buildng standing on the top of Mount i informed G. 3. Lindgren, U. S. Weather Bureau observer at Albany that he had found an ideal spot for an Intermediate stalion between Newark and Albany. Lindgren investigated, found it was a school and asked the Sisters if they would serve the cause of aviation. To Instruct Pupils To his delight they accepted immediately and the work began. Lindgren has lectured at the school since his first visit with the result that the keenest Interest in aviation aud weather observation has developed among the pupils. The Sisters plan, as soon as their instruments arrive, to instruct the girls taking science courses in weather lore. Pilots flying the route state emphatically that the Sisters’ reports are exceptionally dependable. They err only on the side of safety. "If the Sisters tel! us that there’s a 1,500 foot ceiling.’’ said Ralph Dodson, chief pilot, "we know it's more likely to be 1,750. And if their wire says five miles visibility we feel pretty certain that it’s unlimited. —O Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays
