She made.even her back eloquent as she sat at the piano in the last act. .Tween-’ ways was not merely a type, a pompous Britisher with an ill-fitting monocle and an accent like the estate of the “nouveaux riches”; Ke was cleverly made a real char- acter, a puny bilious aristocrat, obsessed with family ailments and traditions. With his big head, vacant, cordial smile, and ‘imp hands, he was like a Juke or-a _ Kallikak of the aristocracy. The appear- ance of the harassed de Grival and T weenways, falling over.fences to es- cape the Hereford bulls, crawling under gates, and sliding down ropes, was like the entrance of one of those hapless vaudeville teams illustrating the maxim that people laugh at other people’s mis- fortunes. . Anne Tierney also showed comic per- ception in her acting of the Rev. Roger Minchin, a clergyman of the “Dearly Be- type; with the shovel hat, side-whiskers, and bed-side man- ner, and the “genuine” English accent was a pleasure. As the Marchioness af Castlejordan, Anne Adams was clever in her use of humorous pathos and in getting over her . funniest lines; but she sadly lacked the “Grand Manner.” Nor did she look like a woman. who “should have had a six- foot son.” Her three daughters could not sien have ‘been better contrasted in type. Grove Thomas, as . Noeline, acted gracefully and warmly; her per- formance was especially sensitive and sincere. . Lady Thomasin, the cheerful, naive tomboy, was made very attractive by Winifred Dodd, and Wilhelmina, youngest and most feminine, was played understandingly by Helen Brown. As Viscount Litterly, the hero, ‘Edith Nichols was perhaps the most charming person on the stage. easily, using just enough change of expression in the various situations, and suiting her role in voice, appearance and manner, she was a delightful hero of the healthy, happy type.. The servants were nicely played. Fit- ton, the gamekeeper, went especially ' well in the surroundings of Overcote Park The performance as a whole was ex- cellent; there was real comedy in it.

Y., 40 miles from New York City, opened its doors for its fourth year on October 9. In addition to a number of preliminary courses designed to teach “the students “How to Study,” the subjects taught are all designed to equip members and Officers of trade unions for more effective service in their organizations: The Students—There is a capacity en- rollment of about 50 students, of about one-third women and two-thirds men, A considerable number of applicants have had-to-be-rejectedthis_year_for lack of space. - : The students, most of whom are’ enter- ing for a two-year course, will represent over a dozen different industries and in- ternational unions. This year there will be an unusually large increase in the num- ber of miners. Many of the students have served as organizers antl officials in the unions from which they come. In addition to American trade unionists, workers from several other countries will be in attendance, including England, Den- mark, Belgium and Japan. Steps are being taken by the General Confederation of Mexico to prpvide for the sending of Mexican trade unionists to Brookwood for training, a The Courses—Much interest attaches to the preliminary course entitled. “How to Study,” which will this year éxtend over several weeks at the beginning of the term. The object of this course is to ac- quaint the students with the aims of the Breokwood course, with some knowlgdge of how the human mind works, how to take’notes, how to use ‘books and. periodi- cals. Various instructors will work along’ with individual students and _— small groups, in order that the men and women coming from mines, mills and railroads may learn at- the outset _of their course how to use effectively the tools with which mtellectual work is done. All the other courses in English history, econom- ics, trade union administration and organi- zation, ete., are designed to equip mem- bers and officers of the trade unions for more effective service to their organiza- tions. How Philippine Students Do It. _ Eight hundred brown-skinned students from 40 provinces vote together and rule themselves in a school republic that exists in the heart of the Philippine Islands, says an article in Zhe Hilltop (Howard University, Washington, D. C.) Hard-working students elect their own officials, have their own police force, run their own bank, store and farms, and carry on in common all the activities ofra municipal community. They have a live organization made up of students who are working their way through college—entering with nothing, receiving no support from charity, and, in some cases, coming out with enough to start little farms of their own. . English is the language in vogue. ; The course at Munoz is one of four years. Pupils are admitted on examina- tion or on-certificate from other schools, and the place is so popular that more than 1000 applicants are turned away every year. gas The government of thé school. is run by the boys. They elect their president, make laws, and choose policemen to en- force ‘them. ‘They have what is called a students’ council for each’ group of stu- dents. Each of these groups elects mem- bers to the general coungil, which has regular meetings. The il of the pun- ishments are fines. The judicial branch consists of a judge and an aseistant, appointed from the stu- dent body by the superintendent of the ‘school. a chief of police, who chooses. his ov | patrolmen, The. policemen go around jrectly tailored are The student-president apneint = grounds day and night. They arrest any who break the laws of. the council and summon theny before a schoal court where the accused can conduct his own case or have an attorney from. the student body if he prefers. -Some cases of dis- putes are settled outside. the court. This is attempted, whenever possible, by the judges. Collegé life is ‘taken seriously and its government is carried on in an orderly manner. Cut-System at Williams.
