s THE COLL ¥ EGE NEWS . MR. 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. Demonstrate Complete Drill i Three Minutes The first regular outdoor fire drill: of the students’ fire fighting brigade was held on Friday morning with the men demonstrated the able way in which they have been drilled by Mr. Tom Foley, tak- ing the hose-cart and ladder from the shed behind Merion and running with it ladder was raised to’ the roof, the hose unrolled from the cart and fastened to the hydrant, and the men then carried the hose up the ladder, making it possible to have a stream of water on the roof in less than three minutes from the time they left Merion. 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. ALUMNA NOTES The annual meeting of the Alumne As- sociation will be held in the Chapel on | next Saturday, January 29th, at 11.00 | o'clock. The new business which is on the program is a discussion of the me- morial to Miss Garrett. All Seniors and spring are invited to attend the meeting. | A letter to the “Public Ledger” men- tioning the uniqueness of the Bryn Mawr public affairs up to the present day, have sounder traditions on which to build so- | ciety. Federation to Bring Higher Patriotism Mr. Nasmyth spoke of the great pa- triotism shown in the war, but he em- | phasized a higher patriotism which has | been kept from developing by inter- | national anarchy, a patriotism not only | for one’s country, but for the whole world | community. “It is the duty of the com: | ing generation”, he said, “to construct these higher ideals. Conditions as they exist do not allow for a New Testament | doctrine of love, but merely for an old | tribal religion with a god of battle and vengeance”. COMMERCIAL DESIGN STUDENTS FILL ORDERS WHILE LEARNING | Mary Tongue, '13, Takes Course A course in Commercial Design has | been established this year at the Mary- | land Institute of Arts and Design, by Mr. | Carol M. Sax. The work is divided into three lines—advertising, costume- design | and specialization and is done in great | part to fill actual orders. Mary V. Tongue, 1913, is taking the course. Last year, in work done almost entirely outside of the school, the nucleus of this present class earned over one thousand dollars. This year they have already done better. Miss Tongue says of the course: “Mr. Sax’s idea seems to be that work done as a job and not as mere practise will, and must be, up to a pro- fessional standard; that working so, the student graduates an experienced work- man with results and experiences that no amount of mere class room drill could give, and is able to command a profes- sional’s wage”. THERMOMETERS MAY CHANGE A bill has lately been introduced into Congress to replace all Fahrenheit ther- mometers by Centigrade. Several mem- bers of the Cornell faculty have endorsed the bill in recent letters to Washington and agree that the advantages of the centigrade scale for scientific work make the change practical | playing were: Loring, '13; 'and Home Nursing in New York. alumnz movement in establishing a fund for the investigation of fire prevention, as a gift to the public, says: “Natural and almost inevitable. as the proposed rela- tionship between a group of citizens and | the State would seem to be in a democ- racy, no similar movement is on record in the United States”.
