IN MEMORIAM

 

Miss Mary Elizabeth Garrett

On Saturday morning, April 3rd, Miss
Mary E. Garrett died at the Deanery.
After a long illness which she had borne
with so much fortitude, death came
quietly and peacefully early in the Baster
recess of the College, and we, among
whom she had lived, could only re-assem-
ble after the vacation to mourn the loss,
not only of a benefactor, but of a true
friend of the College. ;

Miss Garrett, through her friendship
with President Thomas, has been so
closely associated with the College and
so completely in sympathy with all of
its aims and ideals from the foundation
until the present time, her interest and
influence have been so ever-present, her
help and assistance so ever-ready, that,
where so much has been given, it is
hard to take some definite part from
the whole and say, this was her contribu-
tion. Certain things stand out in our
minds, however, as having received her
particular care and attention. She had
excellent taste, a certain genius for in-
terior decoration, and she believed in
the educational effect of a beautiful en-
vironment. The quiet beauty and har-
mony of the halls of residence are largely
Miss Garrett’s work. She gave her per-
sonal attention to the chdice of furniture
and fabrics and to the arrangements of
the rooms. The many lovely and valu-
able. prints and engravings which hang
on the walls are lent from Miss Gar-
rett’s own collections or have been given
by her to the College. We are very
proud of our campus and buildings, but
we do not realize to what extent the
whole beauty of the College has been
preserved and enhanced by a careful at-
tention to each detail.

 

“Miss Garrett has given to the College
during her lifetime, $350,000, next to the
Woerishoffer bequest by far the largest
amount the College has ever received
from a single individual. This sum was
not given all at once, but was contributed
from time to time to meet the needs and
to further the true aims of the College.
To every fund that the College has so
laboriously collected, Miss Garrett con-
tributed; to every appeal for help in
what really affected the life of the Col-
lege, she responded liberally. She vastly
increased the Librdry, she brought to
the College many notable speakers, she
made four years of college life possible

‘for many students, and she furthered the

work of the graduate school by gifts of
scholarships and fellowships.

In 1906 when it was made possible
under the charter of the College, to en-
large the ‘Board of Directors from thir-
teen to sixteen, and two alumne Direc-
tors were appointed, Miss Garrett was
also made a member of the Board: She
then formally took her place on the gov-
erning board of the College to which she
had already given so much thought and
interest. She was eminently fitted for
her work as a director, not only by her
unusual knowledge of business and
finance, but also because of her intense
interest in everything that related to
women. It is not possible to separate
the problems which arise in the higher
education of women from the woman
question as a whole. To do so would
be a failure in understanding. The leg-
islator for women’s education must have
in mind at least a tentative solution of
the problems and difficulties which con-
front the trained woman in the world.
Miss Garrett desired intensely to solve,
at. least in part, these problems, and
Bryn Mawr College was but one of her
many interests.

With President Thomas anda few
other women she founded the Bryn Mawr
School of Baltimore, in order that the
girls of her own city might have the op-
portunity and incentive to prepare for
and to enter college. She gave half a
million dollars to the Medical School of
the Johns Hopkins University upon the
condition that the school should be op-
ened to women on the same footing as to
men. This one gift gave to college wo-
men the opportunity of working on a pro-
fessional equality with men and set a
standard for the medical education of
women throughout the country.

Miss Garrett realized that in creating
opportunity and a responsible place for
women in the world the question of suf-
frage was fundamental. When Miss
Susan B. Anthony died and there was
danger that the National Women’s Suf-
frage Association which she had built up,
would disband, President Thomas and
Miss Garrett assumed the responsibility
of raising $60,000 to carry on the work
for five years. The sum was raised and
the work of the association was continued
through a critical period and we to-day
are reaping the results in the marvelous
advance of Woman's Suffrage throughout
the country. Miss Garrett was interested
in getting the college women into’ suf-
frage work and for many years she was
treasurer of the College Equal Suffrage
League.

It is not, however, as the benefactor of

the education of women in general that
we shall think primarily of Miss Garrett
here, but rather we shall miss her as the

in our success, and to whom we shall ever
owe a deep and personal debt of gratitude.

’

FUNERAL OF MISS MARY ELIZABETH
GARRETT

. Miss Garrett’s funeral service was held
in Baltimore on April 6th.. A special car
left Bryn Mawr in the morning, carrying
the Trustees of the College, members of
the faculty and staff, and representatives
of the Graduate, the Alumnz and Under-
graduate Associations. The° interment
was private.

AGNES SMITH PRESIDENT OF THE

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION é

 

A very successful year of-the Christian
Association ended Monday night when the
annual meeting for the elections was held.
Ruth Tinker, in the President’s report,
brought out again the great importance
‘and usefulness in the College of the effi-
‘cient’ board. The Treasurer’s report
| showed us that we could fully meet the
budget this year. The election of officers
followed the reports. Agnes P. Smith, '16,
was elected President of the Association.
Miss Smith has worked for the Associa-
tion as Assistant Treasurer and in other
capacities and has always been thor-
oughly interested in all its activities.
Agnes Grabau, '16, was elected Vice-Pres-
ident. Katharine Blodgett, '17, was elect-
el Treasurer and Charlotte Dodge, ‘18,
Secretary. :

 

BRYN MAWR CLUB OF NEW YORK
VOTES PRESIDENT THOMAS
FIRST HONORARY MEMBER

 

The Bryn Mawr Club of New York City,
at their annual meeting held February 3,
1915, established a new class of member-
ship, that of honorary members. The
club voted unanimously to ask President
Thomas to become its first honorary mem-
ber. In doing this the members wished
to express “their appreciation, as alumnz
of Bryn Mawr, of the enduring elements
in the structure and development of the
College,”” which the College owes to Miss
Thomas and “which not only have deter-
mined its own fundamental character, but
have influenced all grades of the aca-
demic education of women.”

MRS. BEATRICE FORBES-ROBERTSON
HALE SPEAKS ON SUFFRAGE

 

Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale
was introduced by M. L. Hickman, '16, to
a very enthusiastic audience. She spoke
on. the awakening of women to democratic
government. Beginning with American
colonial history she showed woman’s
place, from the laws regarding her. She
then ran through the movements for
higher education, professional life, and
the repealing of the common law, which
have paved the way for suffrage. She
met the various objections, taking up
suffrage from the point of view of the
educated woman, the woman in the home,
and the working woman.
Hale presented no startling arguments,

That woman might supplement man’s
work and his knowledge was her final ar-
gument for bringing about true democ-
racy by giving women the ballot.

BRYN MAWR DEFEATS GOUCHER

Saturday afternoon the Varsity Basket-
ball team opened the new season by win-
ning the first game of the year from

first five minutes of play and continued
to lead throughout the game. The Bryn

every point she made drew applause.|Signora di Vincenzo. The accompani- -

 

Mawr forwards played well, H. Alexander,
/1918, making four goals and J. Pauling
playing quite as well as she did at guard
last year, S, Smith made some of her
extraordinary catches, although she found
‘it very hard to hold to the girls’ guarding
rules. Bryn Mawr had the advantage in
‘height, but Goucher balanced it by greater

‘agility. There was good passing on both
|sides; that of the Bryn Mawr team was
‘due to Miss Wesson’s coaching during the
short period of practice. In the second
jhalf Goucher came on the field with a
‘Tush, putting up a vigorous defense.
Their game was free and open, with some
swift passing; so that Bryn Mawr’s goals
were less frequent, while theirs were
‘remarkably neat and pretty.
' Goucher brought about forty support-
ers, Who were met by a committee of the

'to them on the campus. Between halves
‘they sang some very good songs while

during the progress of the game. The

sun and sultry weather. At the end of

game was a great success; even the con-
fusing compromise of rules did not cause
Miss Applebee to blow her whistle very
often as the play was so very clean.

by a few words about the Bohemians,
“Les Romanis,” diverging a little to speak
of Richepin, who has done so much to re-
vive the interest in the Romany Folk-song. |

Although many of us in College have
had little actual contact with Miss Gar-
rett, we have none the less felt her per-
sonality and her ability. Those of us who
have met her at the Deanery can truly
say: “To a stranger it must have been
difficult to associate the quiet, retiring,
almost shy gentlewoman, who never un-
necessarily used the personal pronoun and
apparently never thought of self, with the
heiress who so wisely disposed of her
wealth, unostentatiously furnished regal
tenets for the progress of her sex and was
a walking encyclopedia « on art and litera-
ture,

Always well poised, surrounded with
every refinement without wasteful ex-
travagance, well dressed, though never
conspicuously, a charming hostess with-
out undue display, Miss Garrett passed
through her world, leaving it richer, bet-
ter, for her presence.”

From a slight knowledge of Miss Garrett
we have admired her remarkable business
ability and her artistic gifts.

We welcome to our harbor the good
ship which enters port next Saturday.
“Pinafore” represents a daring venture of
a twofold character and we are all inter-
ested to see how she will weather the
gales. The substitution of a real musical
comedy for the old-time Glee Club con-
cert promises to be an attractive change.
Jolly sailors_and their relatives in gay
costumes on board a life-size ship (two
decks, so rumor hath it) cannot but be
more thrilling than rows of white-clad
maidens, however charming their singing
may be. Of course, such an undertaking
means a great deal more work, for to the
training of large choruses must be added
the coaching of acting and dancing and
the costuming and staging needed for so
large an enterprise. ‘Pinafore’ is a dar-
ing voyager. As a Varsity Show, Satur-
day night’s performance will mark, we
hope, the beginning of a new era. Under-
graduate plays are a feature of the life
of most colleges, but until now have been
quite unknown to Bryn Mawr. Here is
the chance to inaugurate a new tradition,
to have one very good play during the
year, drawing on the talent of the whole
student body (graduates, too, are on deck)
and helping to further that “esprit de
corps” of. which we hear so much. As a
pleasing variation of the Glee Club enter-
tainment and as a herald of future “Var-
sity Shows,” the arrival of “Pinafore” is
awaited with great excitement. May she
have a “bon voyage.”

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

The Editors do not hold themselves re

for the opinions expressed in this
To the Editor of “The College News”:

In your last issue you published a let-
ter which I felt was unjustly severe in
its attack on Bryn Mawr’s work in the
settlement movement. The writer appar-
ently did not know of our large interest
in philanthropic work and did not realize
that although we have no chapter in the
College Settlement Association, yet we

of lack of interest in the association is
just.’ Our “apathy” is’ not ue, however,
to lack of interest in

part of the undergraduates, but to the or-
ganization of the C.S. A. The only repre-
sentation of the association in College is
the Settlement Committee under the
Christian Association whose chairman is
the so-called “elector” from the College.
The duty of the committee is to arrange
settlement classes (which have practi-
cally no connection with the C. S. A.);
and the committee has no way of finding
out who is interested in social work out-
side of those who volunteer to teach set-
tlement classes.

So we are, as a College, represented in
an association with which, as a College,
we have practically no connection and
about which we know little. Is it any
wonder we are apathetic? It seems to me
that we ought either to get out of the
College Settlement Association  alto-
gether or else start a chapter independent
of the Christian Association which would
take real interest in it.

But to get out of the association would
seem rather foolish because a great many
of us are interested in social work and the
College Settlement is especially designed
to give College educated girls a chance
to do efficient social work. Now why not
start a chapter next. year and let all those
interested enough in social work join it?
In this way we would accomplish the two
objects of membership in the association;
first, we would give future social work-
ers a connection with social workers
from almost all Eastern colleges in an
association which will enable them to do
the most efficient social work after col-
lege; and, second, we would raise either
by dues or entertainments a contribution
to the association. And it seems to me
that we have plenty of real interest in
social work to start such a chapter and
make it a success.

What do other people think about this?
I hope someone will give the committee
suggestions for next year.

M. Scattergood,

Chairman of the Settlement Committee.

To the Editor of “The College News”:

The “student who advertised Mr. Sun-
day’s presence in a church outside the
College gates” would like to state that
the Bryn Mawr students who attended Mr.
Sunday’s meeting did so as individuals,
and as such had the right to reserve
seats. This should not have “inevitably
coupled the name of the College with the
revival meeting’ any more than the at-
tendance of a number of students at a
play couples the name of Bryn Mawr
with a_ theatrical performance. of
course, there was a chance that the ma-
jority of the undergraduates would ob-
ject, although such an objection would
have appeared as an attempt to limit in-
dividual activities; but as the majority
attended the meeting the natural assump-
tion would be that they approved. How-
ever, had any opposition been voiced be-
fore Mr. Sunday’s address at the church,
all reservations might have been can-
celled.

Mr. Sunday needs no defence. The last-
ing results of his work speak for the man.
One-of our secular periodicals says, “His
campaign through the West and Middle
West can almost be’ traced by the ‘dry’
towns and cities in his wake.”

A professor of psychology, from one of
our oldest universities attended several
of the “tabernacle” meetings, and said
that what had impressed him most was
the entire lack of sensational emotional-
ism. Knowing the deplorable moral con-
dition of the undergraduates of Cornell
who are “rising by the power of their in-
tellects,” it seems hardly fitting for a
reputable woman's College to quote their.
opinion concerning any religious” move-
ment.

Eleanor Houston Hill:

To the Editor of “The College News”:

A few weeks ago one of the editorials
in “The College News” suggested that the
new plan for the election of the Christian
Association Board be put into effect in
the other College associations. By this
plan the individual classes nominate a
certain number of people from which the
election is made. We say that the classes
do not know the members who will be in-
terested in the work for which they are
nominated, that the association as a
whole is better able to judge. Now we
have a chance to end these disputes: . the
Christian Association appointments will
be made within a week, and then the re-
sult of class nominations will be mani-
fested at least in its beginnings. Will the
class in the first place nominate people
whom the president of the Association
would not think of as possible board mem-
bers; will there be any new people inter-
ested in the Association or will the same
people who always do class work be nomi-
nated? Even if we take it for granted
that some of the class nominees will bring
fresh vigor and interest into the Associa-
tion, can we be sure that these people will
be elected in the end? These are questions
which may often occur to us and which
dissuade us from attempting such inno-
vations in all our associations; they can
only be answered, however, by experi-
ment and experience. If we are anxious
to have the associations led by the mem-
bers who are best fitted to do so; feeling
that at present an improvement in meth-
ods of finding people can be made, we
must watch with interest the new board
of the C. A., which has had the courage
to try a new thing which it hopes will
bring greater vigour and success to its
work in the College.

To the Editor of “The College News”:

The Bryn Mawr Club in China exists—
little more can be said of it. The few
members live at such distances from one
another, and have their time so well occu-
pied, and are such poor correspondents
withal, that we cannot hope to accom-
plish much more than to let our Bryn
Mawr friends know we are here. A cir-
cular letter is now spreading information
about our activities and those of the
Bryn Mawrtyrs in Japan. It is inspiring
to feel how heartily we-seem to be in ac-
cord in our work. We wanted the best
that Bryn Mawr could give us, and we
want to carry that best to those among
whom we work, and as I look around me
here in Canton, I believe the spirit of
hungering and thirsting after the best in
life is being developed in the lives of
these young men and women.

The Canton Christian College began its
activity about 1900. No college depart-
ment was possible until a foundation had
been laid in thorough preparatory work.
The first eight years were given to estab-
lishing a ““Middle School,” the grade being
equivalent to a high school in the United
States. In course of time our Students’
Christian Association developed a _ pri-
mary school for us, and a year or two
later. a grammar school was opened,
which made it possible for a student to
take his entire school course here. We
have had Freshman and Sophomore
classes several times during the last few
years, and even one class in medicine;
but America beckons too enticingly and
65 of our students are to be found in
American colleges this year.

GYMNASIUM CONTEST Won BY THE
“SOPHOMORES — ue fae

ee

The Gymnasium Contest beitreen 1917
and 1918, on March 26th, which was at-
tended by nearly everyone connected with
the College, was very close and exciting.
Out of a possible 310 points, 1917 won 243,
and 1918, 232. The best work ‘was in the
wand drill and in the parallel bars, and
the only maximum number of points given
was received by 1918 for its “stunt.” An
improvement in the drill as a whole was
noted and ascribed to the extra practice
which the new cup for individual work
called forth. G. Bryant’s work on the
horse and on the bars did credit to her
class and to herself. The judges, Dr. R.
Tait McKenzie, of the University of Penn-
sylvania, Mr. Philip Bishop, of Haverford
Grammar School, and Miss Elizabeth
Burchenal, Executive Secretary of the
Girls’ Branch of the Public School. Ath-
letic’ League of the City of New York,
were very pleasantly impressed with the
contest and were much interested in the

THE TROPHY CLUB AND THE
GREENHOUSE

 

In-commemoration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the building of the green-
house at Dalton Hall, the Trophy Club
is about to come into possession of a let-
ter written on March 22, 1894, by the first
President of the College, Dr. James BE.
Rhoads. This letter, of which a copy ap-
pears below, was written to acknowledge
the receipt of a communication from the
representatives of the donors handing
over the greenhouse to the Trustees of
the College.

The greenhouse was not an original

part_of Dalton Hall, but was built about
eighteen months later when the need be-
came apparent for such accommodation
for laboratory. material for the Minor
Class in Biology.
The funds for its erection came partly
from a special grant by the Alumnew As-
sociation and partly from private contri-
bution. A benefit entertainment was held
in the former gymnasium and loyally at-
tended by undergraduates and especially
by the Freshman Class held to make up
the necessary sum.

The letter is as follows:

President’s Office
Bryn Mawr College

Bryn Mawr, Pa., 3 Mo. 22, 1894.
To Harriet Randolph, Ph.D., Leah Goff,
A.B., and Thomas Hunt Morgan, Ph.D.
Dear Friends: It will give me special
satisfaction to lay your letter of the 21st
instant, touching the Greenhouse, before
the Board of Trustees, and in anticipation
of their action I desire to convey to you
my personal thanks for your zeal, liber-
ality and success in the planning and con-
struction of the Greenhouse.

Believe me yours very truly and grate-
fully,

James E; Rhoads.

THE CAROLA WOERISHOFFER
MEMORIAL FUND ss

 

_. The first expenditure of income from
the fund raised by the alumna in mem-
ory of Carola Woerishoffer takes the
form of a scholarship of fifty dollars
given to Dorothy Weston, of the Class of
1914. Miss Weston has been working at
the New York College Settlement since
the first of October, and has proved her-
self so valuable that in spite of her small
experience her expenses have been paid
up to this time by the settlement and its
friends. This was, however, an irregular
and special arrangement, and it was not
possible to continue it. The fifty-dollar
’ scholarship, small as it is, will enable
Miss Weston to complete her year’s. work,
that is, to remain at the settlement dur-

ing April and May. The appreciation in |-

which she is held by the College Settle-
ment Board is very high, and it seemed
important, from the point of view of her
future usefulness, that she should have
her full year of this valuable apprentice-
ship.

It may be well to give some account of
the memorial fund, since the undergradu-
ates have probably heard little or nothing
about it.

While Carola Woerishoffer lived her

name was not widely known. The admi-|-

ration felt for her by the people who
knew her work and aims—for example, by
Mrs. Florence Kelley, of the Consumers’
League; Miss Helen Marot, of the Wom-
en’s Trade Union League, and Mr. and
Mrs. Simkhovitch, of Greenwich House—
was out of all proportion to the knowledge
of her possessed by the general public.
So determined was she to “live down”
her wealth, to count only for what she
herself, by her own head and hand, could
do, that she eluded the newspapers with
extraordinary ingenuity, fearing that they
would give her a publicity that would in-
terfere with her work. When she died,
however, her fellow-workers felt that,
since the promise she had given could
never be fulfilled, the story of her few
years of devoted service should at least
not go untold. It was because of the qual-
ities to which these associates and friends
bore witness, rather than because of her
large bequest of money to the College,
that we felt the need of some memorial
of her in the making of which every one
of us might have a share.

In this instance it seemed best to de-
part, for once, from the precedent of hay-
ing money raised by Bryn Mawr alumnze
used always for the benefit of the College
itself. For Carola Woerishoffer had her-
self made a splendid gift to Bryn Mawr;
while on the other hand there were a
number of social activities in New York
City that felt most keenly the loss of her
ever-ready financial aid, her inexhaust-
ible energy and her brilliant powers of
mind. We decided, therefore, to raise a
memorial fund, the income of which is to
be expended each year, at the discretion
of a committee of the Alumnez Associa-
tion, in the furtherance of some work of
social welfare, investigation or reform in
New York City. The sum so far raised is
two thousand dollars, with a promise of
another thousand; and the income on.our
investments is one hundred dollars a year.
It is of interest to note that two hundred
and fifty dollars was given by someone
who never knew Carola Woerishoffer and
had no connection whatever with Bryn
Mawr, but was moved solely by an im-
personal appreciation of the value of her
life and her example.

Three thousand dollars is still far from
being an adequate memorial; within the
next year or two the sum should be at
least doubled. Undergraduates ‘ds well
as alumn@ are asked to contribute;
checks should be drawn payable to Bertha
Rembaugh, Trustee, and sent to Miss
Rembaugh at No. 1 Broadway, New York
City.

_* > ><. MISS GARRETT

,

 

Passed by the Undergraduate Association
"at a Meeting on Friday, April 9th

of a wise director and the Undergraduate

Association of a loyal friend; and
Whereas, Her death is felt by the

students as an especial loss because of

her generous interest in their life; be it
Resolved, That. we, the Undergraduate

Association of Bryn Mawr College express

to President Thomas and the Board of

Directors of Bryn Mawr. College, and to

the members of Miss Garrett’s family our

sense of gratitude for all that Miss Gar-
rett has done for the College and our deep
regret at her loss; and be it

Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be presented to President Thomas,
to the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr

College, and to the members of Miss

Garrett’s family and be inserted among

the records of the Undergraduate Asso-

ciation.

SWARTHMORE GYMNASIUM MEET

 

Two Bryn Mawr undergraduates judged
the Swarthmore meet, which took place
on Wednesday, March 24th. All four
classes participated, eight from each class
in the marching and floorwork and five
from each in the apparatus. Each girl

was to be marked separately and could be}.

identified by a large number pinned on
her back. The meet opened with march-
ing. Then the competitors separated into
classes, and each class went to one of the
four kinds of apparatus—rings, boom,
horse, and ropes. The judges also di-
vided, each taking the work on one piece
of apparatus. After the classes had pro-
gressed all the way around, all the com-
petitors formed for the floorwork, which
consisted of arm exercises, jumping jack,
some wand exercises, and a dance. At
the end of the meet proper each of the
classes did a folk dance. The Seniors’
dance was particularly fascinating, so
that they were asked to repeat it after-
wards.

As to the meet as a whole, the exercises
weré not very difficult;-but- they-were_per-
formed, for the most part, with a good
deal of snap and go. The marching was
particularly good in this respect; the
lines kept beautifully straight, and every-
body faced and wheeled exactly in time.

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM~

 

Alice Brown’s drama of New England
life, “Children of Earth,’’ has been placed
in the New Book Room, and the proba-
bilities are that it will be so much dis-
cussed that many will be filled with eager
interest to peruse it—will turn each page
with expectation for flashes of sound rev-
elation and delineation of temperament,
for some of the clean beauty of the life of
simple folk, and for the truthful, stern, or
gracious dénouement, They will read an
unconvincing play, the persone of which
will seem utterly alient and repellent, and
the “poetry” of which is neurotic tragedy
—at best, sentimentality. They will dis-
miss the book with a shrug, until New
Englanders, taking up the gauntlet of dis-
paragement, wax insistent upen its
merits.

“There are Americans like that—nar-
row, queer as queer, hard, provincial, un-
healthy, and colloquial in speech. You
don’t ‘recognize the veracity of the pres-
entation unless you know the stagnant

communities, abounding in ‘characters,’ |

and the curious, unreal turns that the ac-
tions of such hidebound and warped na-
tures take. It’s strikingly true, poignant,
and fine.”

But the majority will shake their. heads,
recalling the technique of the Irish play-

Bible Classes.—All the Bible classes
have decided to go on for a few more
lessons after Easter. The subjects and
the leaders for April 21st will be as fol-
lows: A. Grabau, “The Resurrection of
Christ”; H. Taft, “Haggai and Obediah”;
B. Kirk, “The Test of Righteousness.”

Federation Committee.—Jean Davis has
just sent over two little magazines of the
Swiss C. A., called “Nouvelles de |’Asso-
ciation Chretienne de la Suisse.” They
have been placed on the Federation desk
in the C. A. Library.

The Student Christian Movement in
Belgium.—The Student Christian move-
ment was started in Belgium in 1908,
among 2 small group of students in the
University of Brussels. The conditions in
Belgium are anything but favourable to
the work. The moral and religious atti-
tude of the students is almost entirely de-
termined by the political and _ ecclesi-
astical situation. There are two political
parties, the Catholic and the Liberal, and
a man’s religion is entirely in accordance
with his party feeling. The students
identify Christianity entirely with the
Catholic Church, and contend that it is
contrary to science. Very little headway
has been made by Federation workers,
since they have had to contend with the
indifference of the students, the hostility
of the influential, and the want of leaders
and members to awaken the heavy, un-
willing spirit of their fellow students.

Bates’ House.—One hundred people
have given three hundred dollars for
Bates’ camp, that is, half the amount to
be raised. There is still a chance for the
rest of you to help in the immigrant prob-
lem and give the Italian children a happy
summer.

DR. STEINER SPEAKS ON THE RACE
PROBLEM

 

We were not disappointed on Sunday
night, for Dr. Steiner gave us one of the
most interesting and profitable sermons
we have heard. He said that to try to pre-
dict the outcome of the problem of immi-
gration would be attempting to do more
than the old coloured minister who said
he was going to “illumine the unillumin-
able, exhaust the inexhaustible, and un-
screw the inscrutable.” The important
considerations in the immigration prob-
lem are climate, food and language. In
America, the mountains running north and
south make the climate more favourable,
the more abundant food supply gives the
immigrants a chance to grow to their full

them the opportunity to get on in the
world. One peasant living a beautiful,
simple life in the great valley of roses,
said he was going to return to Pittsburgh
because there the “big boss” comes along
and says, “Hello, Mike; How you are?”
These people may not come any nearer
the Raphaels and Garibaldis of their na-
tions than we do to the George Washing-
tons and the Abraham Lincolns, but they
are eager to avail themselves of the op-
portunities of our land, and where they
come in contact with the finest American
personalities they strive to their utter-
most to imitate them. To the Russian
jonging for liberty this is “Holy America.”
It is for us to see that by our unpreju-
diced attitude and our brotherly sympa-|
thy we make it indeed holy.
