COURSES TO BE LIGHTENED Undergraduate Board Meets President Thomas ory Board of the Undergraduate Associa- tion met with President Thomas to dis- cuss the question of overwork. The con- ‘clusion reached was that about half the courses, especially the reading courses, require too much work. President Thomas proposed to have the work courses cut down. She stated that she considered eight hours a day the maxi- mum which should be spent on academic work, and that seven hours is not too ecient for the week-ends, she thought. President ,Thomas also mentioned the ex- cessive cutting, and said that some strin- gent measures must be adopted to stop it. The Seniors did not consider their class overworked. The other classes, es- pecially the Juniors, felt that they were too busy. The courses were discussed one at a time and it was decided that those which required too much time SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6 6.00 p. M.—Vespers. F. Kellogg, ‘16.

Masefield, who will lecture | on English Poetry in the’ Gymnasium, Saturday, January 22d, is now in this country for the first time since 1896. When here before he is said to have sup- ported himself by odd jobs in livery sta- bles and bakeries, finally getting a steady job at ten dollars a month in a New York saloon, He now returns as one of the foremost English poets. His work, Dr. Chew thinks, is more significant than that of any other modern poet except Mr. Hardy. Will Not Discuss the War Mr. Masefield has said that he does not intend to lecture on the war, although he has served several months in the Darda- nelles as a stretcher-bearer, in the front line trenches, only 50 yards from the enemy’s line. “Then the man behind you drops dead”, he said, “and that is how the war goes. When you have served some time on the ambulance corps your feeling for the wounded becomes so intense that you would rather lose your right arm than drop the stretcher”. Some of the best known works of Mr. Masefield are “The Everlasting Mercy”, | “The | “Dauber”, “The Daffodil Fields”, Widow in the Bye Street”, “Philip the King” and a volume of poems and ballads. His recent book on Synge, the Irish dram- atist, is in the New Book Room in the Library.

CHAMBERS ONE TIME PRISONER. OF WAR Will Preach Sunday Evening The Rev. W. N. Chambers, D.D., will preach on Sunday night, January 22d, about the present condition in Turkey and his personal experiences there. Dr. Chambers is a missionary of the Ameri- can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He has spent thirty years in Turkey, where his work has been the evangelization of the natives. He was in Erzeroon when the massacres of the Ar- menians occurred in 1896, and in 1906 he witnessed the massacres at Adana, where he was able to protect the lives of many of the persecuted Christians.

KINGSBURY ONE OF THE MISSION CLASS LEADERS | i j emereemetermte { Three Other Classes to Be Given Philosophy, Social Problems, Turkey, and Old Testament Biography, will be studied in the classes which run for ten weeks during the second semester, be- ginning February the 9th. These classes meet regularly at 7.30 Wednesday even- ings. Dr. Kingsbury will give the class on the study of social problems in Room C, Taylor. She will give a general intro- duction to the course in the first two classes and will secure experts along vari- ous lines to give some of the other talks. The general topics of study will probably be: “The General Importance of Settle- ;ment Work”, “Reform Work with Girls”. \“Politics in Social Work", and “Oppor- tunities of Work in Bryn Mawr Village”. Kate Chambers Seelye, ‘11, and Doro- |thea Chambers, ‘19, will give a foreign | 'mission class in Denbigh 37, on Turkey, | where they have both spent a large part of their lives. “Religious Problems of 'Philosophy”, especially those suggested by a general course of Philosophy at col- | lege, will be given by Miss Agnes L. “Tierney in the C. A. Library. She is a ‘member of the Germantown Society of | Friends, and a leader in thought and writ- ‘ing on religious subjects. A class on the ‘study of Old Testament Biography will be jled by Mary Branson, ‘16, in Rocke ‘feller 41. The chairman of the Bible and Mission Study Classes, Miss Scattergood, says that these classes are designed primarily for those who will show a definite inter- est and attend regularly. The different ‘topics to be studied and the plans for leaders of wide experience, she thinks, seem to have aroused some general inter- est. although the Canvass has not yet |}been made. The Classes will be further \explained by a personal canvass and by | literature on the subject.

The chairman of the Wednes- iday evening meetings committee says | that there are those not much interested |in the C. A. who think they will take a /more active part if some things are | changed ; the purpose of these meetings ‘is to give a chance for criticism and therefore for progress.

CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD TO ONE CLASS TO BE DECIDED UPON Athletic Board Arranges System of Points The Athletic Board has formulated a plan for the winning of Athletic Cham- pionship as a whole by one class. This plan is to award a certain number of points for each athletic event which the class may win, first team championship in a major sport, that is, in hockey, basket-ball or water-polo counting most, and grading down from that. The board has fixed points for some teams which are as yet non-existent, but with this plan it is hoped that more people will come out for the various sports.

Now that the season of examinations has come and that the College is analyz- ing its knowledge of tariff and of acids, of Chaucer and of Royce, “The News” has determined to call attention to the ignorance of the unobserving student. A Sophomore who could probably have lo- cated Gallipoli was heard inquiring, the other day, “Where is the magazine room”? and the tale of the note addressed to the Leader of the Student Volunteer Band, which was carried by a Freshman to the choir leader, will probably pass into his- tory with the story of the person who asked at the book shop for an English reader. As a suggestion for some ambitious statistician who wishes to supplement the Finding List and the C. A. Handbook by a “Who's Who and What’s What”, we sug- gest the following questions: I. How old is the Gym? Il. Who are the College architects? III. Distinguish between Taylor Hall and Hall the Taylor? IV. Who founded the College and who have been its presidents? Vv. What has become of the Trophy Club? ' VI. What does “Bryn Mawr” mean? VII. What caused the Denbigh fire? When did it occur? VIII. Who endowed the Potato Fund? The Ice Cream Fund? IX. Analyze by taste and smell the chemicals in the swimming pool? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed in this column) & oo Chance for Criticism of the C. A. To the Editor of “‘The College News’: To the Editor of “The College News”: Elsewhere in this edition of “The News” will be found an announcement of the new plan for Wednesday evening meetings after mid-years. The first four are to be discussions, not of religious sub- jects, but of the policy and organization of the Christian Association. This asso- ciation does more different kinds of work than any other in College, and at the same time it is more criticized than any other. But a large number of the criti- cisms are vague or impractical, and those who made them have not taken sufficient interest in them to try to correct the evils they condemn. Perhaps one reason for this is because they felt that little atten- tion was paid to them; but the President of the Christian Association has prom- ised that any valuable suggestions made at these informal talks will be taken up and voted on in a big meeting. With this opportunity to make changes, there will be no reason for anyone to withhold her active support from the Christian Asso- ciation on account of dissatisfaction with the execution of its ideals. So we earn- .}estly hope that there will-come to these Wednesday evening meetings all those who aren’t interested in the Christian As- sociation, all those who feel that it isn’t a power in the community, and all those who feel that it is inefficient!

Federation Committee feels much encouraged by the interest that the Class of 1919 is showing in its work. On Janu- ary 10th, the Federation Committee asked some 28 Freshmen to come to a meeting to discuss writing to women students in foreign universities in order to find out a little about the Christian work in these centers. Twenty-five Freshmen came and of these seven immediately volunteered to write, while many more said they would like to do it, but would wait until after mid-years to volunteer. If there is anybody else in College that would like to write such a letter will she come to me (68 Rockefeller) for the ad- dress as soon as possible in order to get an answer this year. The countries al- ready taken are Austria, Argentina, Ru- mania, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Japan, France, Germany, and India. Lucretia Garfield. MR. KING’S PROGRAM HAMLET Recital Makes $155 for Polish Relief Fund On Friday evening Mr. Samuel Arthur King gave a Shakespearean recital for the Benefit of the Polish Relief Fund. The program was entirely made up of scenes from ‘Hamlet’. An encore was given at the end of the evening, Mercu- tio’s description of Queen Mab, from “Romeo and Juliet”. Mr. King began with the court scene in which Hamlet plans to go to Witten- berg and the queen begs him to stay; next, the scene on the ramparts with the ghost, and the great soliloquy at the end of Act II. In the scene with Ophelia, where Polonius and the king are hidden, Mr. King said that he followed Edmund Keane’s tradition, in which Hamlet is supposed to know that the king is behind the curtain. He also quoted Coleridge to support this interpretation. Persons Skillfully Distinguished Mr. King next gave Hamlet’s advice to the players, and then the entire play scene, where the distinction between the persons speaking was skillfully made. Act III, Scene 3, where Hamlet chides his mother, and his father’s ghost appears, came next, and finally the graveyard scene, with Laertes’ lament over the body of Orphelia. S. H. ATHERTON, '13, MAKES NOTABLE REPORT ON GIRLS IN INDUSTRY The report on the conditions among the young working girls of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which has just been published by the Na- tional Consumers’ League of New York, was made by Sarah H. Atherton, ‘13. Miss Atherton’s survey is not the usual dreary compilation of facts, but, according to all those who have read it at first hand, it is an exceedingly human document. The object of the report is to present the facts in the lives of girls from 14 to 16 years of age, who come from working homes in the coal regions and have left school to make money by their own efforts. It was found that 79 per cent of the girls gave all they earned to the family. Only 9 per cent kept all their pay. Of 281 girls there were but 7 who worked for pin-money or pretty clothes. Music and Movies Favorite Amusements In giving their favorite amusements, the majority preferred moving pictures or music, Reading held third place; church, theatre, and Y. W. C. A. came fourth; and ‘outdoor spofts were last. “Talking” was other put down “wheeling the baby car- — The work covered by the report is re- ferred to in the newspapers as the first almost entirely volunteer investigation of its kind in the country.

CAMPUS NOTES President Thomas made an address on “College Education for Girls” before the members and friends of the Bryn Mawr Club of Boston last Saturday. | Three new books have been added to the Denbigh Fiction Library: “The Search Party’, by George Birmingham; “The City of Pleasure”, by Arnold Ben- nett”; “The Mascot of Sweet Briar Gulch”, by Phillips. These books have been given in answer to a plea from the Librarian for books that are no longer of use to their owners. The dues of the Fiction Library are so small that it is impossible to keep the Library supplied with new books except by such donations.

NASMYTH DISCUSSES INTERNATIONAL ent Advocates World Federation “We must abolish war by organizing politically”, said Mr. George W. Nasmyth ‘Saturday night in his speech on Federa- tion against International Anarchy. Mr. Nasmyth has travelled extensively in the belligerent countries and is now closely connected with the peace movement. He began by speaking of the philosophy of force which is predominant at present es- pecially in Germany, and compared the present struggle between the countries of Europe with the struggle between the thirteen original States of America dur- ing the critical period from 1783 to 1789. Just as the quarrels and warfare between the States were ended by the establish- ment of a strong central power, Congress and the Supreme Court, he said, so the international problems of to-day can be solved by a process of federation. Women to Reconstruct Ideas In this first step to prevent interna- tional anarchy, says Mr. Nasmyth, Amer- ica should take the lead. He maintains that there should be a Supreme Court of Justice, before which nations must place their cases before entering into war. He pointed out that although such a measure may not avert war, it will at least delay the issue until the whole na- tion can decide for itself. ‘We must pre- cede the reconstruction of society by the reconstruction of ideas”, he said. He pointed out that this was a task for the universities and especially for the women, | who, not Having played a large part in # _| STUDENT FIRE BRIGADE DRILLS WITH LADDER AND HOSE h Men.

The apparatus was brought back to Merion and the students repeated the men’s performance though they had to be helped. After a few more drills it is hoped that they will be able to get a line of hose to any building as promptly and as efficiently as the men.
