education. The best argument for educa-
tion she said, which she she.could think
of was the life of Carola Woerishoffer,
a Bryn Mawr graduate of the class of
1907.

Carola Woerishoffer, Miss Park went
on to say, was the third generation of a
line of remarkable women. Her grand-
mother came. to this country from Aus-
tria_and, with her husband, settled-in New
York. When shortly after he had start-
ed a paper for the German-speaking
people of that city, her husband died,
Miss Woerishoffer’s grandmother took
over the work and carried it on to suc-
cess, although she was for a time on the.

woman of her own kind, who believed
in advantages for women and threw her-
self into every good work. She had a

M.COPEAU RECITES
LE MISANTHROPE

Sympathetic Rendering Aided by Ex-
cellent Technique. _

To listen to M. Copeau read, or rather
recite (for he knew the play practically
from memory) Le Misanthrope last Fri-
day evening was indeed a thrilling ex-
perience.

 

For those who had never attended a
performance at the Comedie Francaise it
was an introduction into conventional
French acting. For those who had seen
that great company, whose importance
the French Government materially recog-
nizes—even-in-times~as~ critical as these,
Friday evening resembled a trip back
stage. There was no scenery, no light-
ing and no costumes to distract the at-
tention from the purely dramatic qualities
of the interpretation. _

In the light of M. Copeau’s role as
innovator in the dramatic world, it may
seem inconsistent to liken his method to
that of the Comedie Francaise; but,
whether due to ignorance or lao of per-
spicacity, the writer observed no innova-
tions in the art M. Copeau demonstrated

DR. DUGGAN — SPEAKS

(Specially Contributed by Betty Brown)
The second meeting of the National
Student Federation Conference, held at
Ann Arbor, Mich., the first week-end in
December, was a great success. There
were two.hundred and forty-five dele-
gates, representing one hundred and
ninety-two colleges, and, as speakers, Dr.
Stephen P. Duggan, Director of the In-
stitute of International Education; Dr.
Alexander Meikeljohn; President Mac-
Cracken, of Vassar; and President Lit-
tle, of the University of Michigan. An
excellent opening address was given by
Lewis Fox, organizer and president of
the Federation during the past year.
Comparison of Methods.
Dr. Duggan, who is particularly fitted
to do so, compared education in Amer-
ica with that of Europe. In a limited
time he cou!d discuss two aspects of
such a comparison. The first was, “The
spirit which animates the European in-
stitutions as against that which animates
ours.” __The European institutions, he
explained, are places of hard work, pre-
scribed curriculum, and no extra-curricu-
lar activities. “The Lycee and Gymna-
sium are. emphatically places of intel-
lectual discipline; of preparation for the
serious activities of life. It is needless
for me to say how different this is from
the American college. I am not saying
that it is better than the American col-
lege. I think “it is too intellectualized
and neglects much of the emotional and
spiritual aspects of life. But it does give

lege.

Workers’ education, in England prac-
tically well established, here non-existent
except on paper, was taken by Mr. Lind-
Say as an example of what he meant. In
England, a university graduate goes to
a mining or pottery making district and
gives the benefit of the history, the phil-
osophy he has learned to the workers.
Here, where at least thirty per cent. of
the children go on from public school
into some higher form of education, the
attempt is made to give the workers the
same opportunity as in an ordinary col-
Our economic eyes are different.

“The reason for the English labor
movement, Mr. Lindsay went on,*“is that
we are still living in a feudal system
without the benefits of feudalism. Our
basic industries are depressed: because of
exterior conditions, such as the substitu-
tion of oil and water power for coal,
while the mining industry is still organ-
ized on an antiquated basis. England

At Least, the Committee Thought He
Did.

The Summer School Committee was
no less surprised than pleased to receive
last Monday a consignment of auto-
graphed books from Princeton. They
were copies of A Book of Lamplight, by
Knullen Voyde, and nearly ‘all of them
were snapped up instantly; aby. enthusiastic
buyers, to the immense profit of the
undergraduate fund, -afidthe-Comntittee,
which saw the necessity of making sand-
wiches to fill the deficit no longer immi-
nent. Mr. Voyde’s book is ‘unquestion-
ably the literary event of the season at
Bryn Mawr; at one time in one room no
less than seven people were observed
reading it, mostly out loud. It’s that kind
of a book.

ularly, but she gets to dislike going to
class. Is it the teacher’s function to force
upon his students what he believes to be
the proper method of acquiring knowl-
edge, and then to judge of their intellec-
tual powers by the result? ;

Furthermore, if a student is not able to
study unless she is forced into, it by a
drop quiz system, is she really a student
worthy of a college education?

Those who uphold the opposite view
may raise the question whether these last
arguments would not logically apply to
the use of~any examinations whatever,
and of any grading, in college courses.
Also, the ‘fear element in drop quizzes

arouses an antagonism which is made

QUIET HOURS

When the Self-Government As-
sociation passed the rule that (uet
Hours are to be enforced not by
Proctors but by each individual stu-
dent, many people remained doubt-
ful of the efficacy of the new sys-
tem. But is not their doubt founded
upon a false’assumption? They say
that noisy people will not listen to
a person who asks them to be quiet,
because she has no authority behind
her. Are they not overlooking the

 

_ fact that she has the authority of

 

  
 
  

 

o left behind

“this is thro

the whole Self-Government Asso-
ciation behind her ; besides, why as-
sume @ priori that people will de-
liberately and brazenly set out to

break a rule that is as much a part}

of Self-Government as any other?

Really, putting the responsibility of

‘keeping Quiet Hours upon the

group as a whole is much more in

harmony with a real Self-Govern-
ent, fhan illogically having a pro-

"pr system for enforcing this rule
nly.

The success of the new ‘system
will depend, first of all -pon-co-op-
eration in keeping the Quiet Hour
‘rules, and secondly, upon respecting
the authority behind a person who
reminds the carelessly noisy that it
is Quiet Hour. If our sense of
honor is as high in what might sup-
perficially seem unessential, as it is
in essentials, there should be no dif-
ficulty. and greater convenience in
enforcing Quiet Hours under the
new system.

 

DEMAGOGUES

Once in a great many years the
world produces a perfect demago-
gue. ‘There were Alexander, Cae-
sar, Nopoleon, and now, Mussolini.
Oddly enough, many of these men
have come from Italy. Oddly, be-
cause the Italians are for the most
part an easy going, pleasant, but
rather impractical race. In fatt,
according to some scientists, they
can not begin to compare with the
blonde Nordics when it comes to
accomplishing things. ==

It is true that a demagogue is not
an average person; he couldn’t be
and accomplish the things he does.
The average person would be fright-
ened at his own power, supposing
that he ever got as far as acquiring
the power, and he would be utterly
incapable of maintaining his high
position. But the demagogue has
none of the average person’s humil-
ity; he knows his own ability, and
is not afraid to use it, since he has
absolute confidence in himself. He
has a ‘vision, a material one, it is
true, but none the less a vision, and
he follows it with complete oneness
of purpose. And even more impor-
ant than this, he knows people, and
how to inspire them to devotion,
_or if that is-ttot possible, to fear.

The strange thing about demago-

is that, so far’as one can see,
not one of them has ever: done any
constructive work in, the world.

great many men have been socialists
w:thout becoming demagogifs. And
the rest, Napoleon, Caesar,. Alexan-
der, came of an extraordinary stock.

It would be interesting to read an|
unbiased biography of ‘a demagogue,
if such a thing were, only possible.
‘The .event is wmlikely, because,
whereas all biographies are biased
to some extent, those of demagogues
are strongly so. The very power and
fascination of such a man, makes

you either succuinb completely to
his spell, or you hate with an equal
passion. Yet such a_ biography
might do a lot to explain the exist-
ence of these men, a question which
so far, no one has been able to an-
swer. Religions will have it that
they serve to demonstrate the limita-
tions of man. But this explanation
hardly. satisfies, since from their
own point of view most demagogues
have achieved an unbelievable, co-
lossal, utterly impossible - success.
Then-what-is-the reason for their

struction or are they an ideal to spur
‘men into using the’ limits of their
power? Are they the curse most
people-think them, or are they a
blessing, rather carefully disguised ?

 

HOW MANY LUMPS?

One of the habits which make
later life pleasantest, one of the gifts
that college training does not foster
in tis, but in which some of us, more
or less against the advice of au-
thority, indulge, in —the charming
custom of afternoon tea drinking.
For ourself, we cannot advocate it
too highly. There is no special grace
in which it is better to excel than

in a graceful and lady-like manner.
To be able to apportion to every one
the desired amount of sugar without
asking too many timés, to avoid put-
ting in lemon when she asks for
“cream, yes auite a lot,” are quali-
ties that make one popular at once.
It is very embarrassing to say beam-
ingly to one of your mother’s most
dignified friends, “No sugar for
you, isn’t it?” and have her respond
coldly, “Why, yes, three lumps.
please.” Neither is it a becoming or
endearing habit to spill hot water
on your caller’s fingers as he reaches
for his cup. Even if you are not
at the tea table, it takes a certain
amount of practice to be able to
balance a cup and saucer, a napkin,
a sandwich and a cake in one hand

other.
Then tea-drinking is such a rest-
ful, relaxing performance. The

whole day is much pleasanter and
Jess tiring if you can look forward

existence? Do they cause only de-|

and shake hands gracefully with the}

given it a prize in their contest.

Our door opened and in walked—who?
Why, Cissy Centipede, of course! She
looked very beautiful, with her lips one
shade between crimson and carmen, and
rher eyebrows forming arcs of perfect
parabolae. But her eyes were sad, yes
there was a sad look deep in them. No
other word will describe it—it was sad.
She walked across the room without a
word, and pressed her fevered brow.
against the cold glass of the window.
Perhaps she did this to cool her fevered
brow, perhaps only because it, was a
dramatic gesture.

“Cissy!” we hoarsed, (ie. said hoarse-
ly) “You are in trouble.”

“No,” she meeked, “Only disillusioned.”
“Tell us all,” we eagered.

“Oh, it is so dreadful, so bitter. For
years and years I have cherished this
one fond belief, and oh, it has meant so
much to me. My spirit is broken, all the
life has gone out of me. I shall never
be the same again, now that I know
that HORSE radish has nothing to do
with—equestrianism.

“I am .convinced (young men and
women) that a very large minority, per-
haps evén a majority of the young people
who are going to college today, even
among those who can afford it, do not go
primarily to get the fine education which
will not only enable them: to make a
place for themselves in li‘é, but also to
render the service to: society I men-
tioned & few minutes ago. Some go. to

{ i social prestige, some to make the

I find few young men and women, even
as I say, among those who can afford
it, who intend to go into political life, or
even into the wider public life which can
so helpfully influence political: life. Yet
the burden of solving the. problem of
this great democracy must fall upon the
shoulders of some one. Upon the shoul-
ders of whom ought they more justifiably
fall than upon the college graduate, espe-
cially: in a time like the present when
faith in democracy as a form of political
organization is apparently waning, not in
dictator-governed . countries like Italy,
Spain, Greece, and Russia, but’ apparently
in our own country. However, this.
desideratum will not be attained until a
more serious spirit animates the life: of
tHe college and more generous attention
is given to the serious problems of the
political, social, and economic organiza-
tion of society.”

Junior Colleges. oS

A further lesson to be drawn from
European institutions derives from their
organization of education. The Lycee
adds two years, the equivalent. of the
first two college years, and Dr. Duggan
advocates for America the Senior Col-
lege. Many small, struggling colleges
might well confine themselves to Junior
College work and affiliate with a larger
institution, which shall devote. itself ex-
clusively to higher education. Such a
change in organization, in the opinion
of Dr. Duggan, will further an &ttitude
of seriousness among American students.

Dr. Meikeljohn Speaks.

Dr. Meikeljohn spoke on the subject
of the outstanding problem in’ American
education: “Can the average young
American be educated?” One means: by
a liberal education “the process of so in-
forming and training and. inciting the
mind that it will go forward steadily
on the road to understanding of the life
to which it belongs.” He went on to
say that the American college of today
is to no great extent fulfilling the con-
ditions of’ such a definition, and he agrees
with Dr. Duggan, saying: “It is not true

ure, streams of understanding into the
life of America.” In explaining this lack

* NEW | BOOKS

Willected: Poems, By | By Jamies Stephers

_ James Stephensvis probably the fore-
most 6f the new ‘school of Irish writers
whichthas sprung up within thp past few
years. The-aim of these writefs has been
to- revive the ‘style of the old Bards, and
to make the works of these men known
to the world at large by translating the
Gaelic into English. Actually, they have
achieved a great deal more than this; for
they have created a new and utterly
charming’ style, which combines the no-
bility and beauty of the old school with
_ an individuality and freshness belonging
_to the younger writers.

In his “Collected Poems,” Mr. Ste-
phens exemplifies this delightfully. There
is a varjety of subject matter and treat-
ment in these works that is quite amazing.
éhe whimsicality, for which the author |
is noted, is, of course, present; but there
is also a great deal of sheer beauty, and
serious ‘philosophy, and sadness, which
one would hardly expect from having
read only his prose.

The “Poems” «are divided into six
books, the first of’ which is entitled ‘In
Green Ways.” As the title would sug-
gest, these poems are full of light-heart-
ed and joyous delight in nature. The
style is delicate and, for the most: part,
humorous, admirably suited to the sub-
ject; The reader is put into the mood
of the book by the opening lines of the
first pogm:

“’he crooked. paths
Go every way
~-“ Upon the hill

*  *. They wind about
Through the heather ,
In and out
Of a quiet
Sunninecs.”

Lines which start the fancy wander-
ing in lazy fashion, through pleasant
pastures. vei

In the second book the mood changes ;
and the “Honeycomb,” which is con-
cerned chiefly with men and women, is
tinctured slightly with sadness and an
amused cynicism. This is followed in the
next book, by a return to the spirit in
which the, “Poems” start; but “In The
Two Lights” is touched by a twilight
sadness, whereas “In Green Fields”
abounds with the carefree joy of dawn.

The fourth book, “Heads and Heels,”
is full of the whimsy and humorous philo-
sophy for which James Stephens is so
popular. . What could be more delightful
than “Tomas, in the Pub,” telling of how
he saw God? Or MacDhoul, who sat on
God’s throne and laughed t6 see all those
dull angels, drooping left and right-along
the towering throne.”

Contrasted to these there is the re-
bellious despair of the “Whisper,” and
the gruesome fascination of “Where the
Demons Grin.”

Of all the books the fifth probably
approaches nearest to the manner of the
old school. It is composed in ‘great part
of translations, which, like most early
Irish poems, are laments. Although there
is nothing more difficult than an attempt
to convey in one language the beauty of
another, Mr. Stephens has somehow
- managed to do it; and these poems
are exquisitely lovely and _ poig-
nant. In adittion to these transla-
tions, moreover, this book contains some
delightful poems, some serious or sad,
like “The Optimist,” or “A Street,” some
humorous like the “Glass of Beer,” be-
ginning, “That lanky hank of a she in
the inn over there.”

The concluding, or sixth book, entitled,
“The Golden Bird,” is written in a philo-
sophical strain, with exquisite bits. of
beauty. ~The whimsical irony, from
which Mr. Stephens can never depart for
long, is present in such poems as “Be-
sides That,” in which he discusses the
diffigulties of getting to. Heaven, and in
“Trony.”. As a whole, the sixth book
serves to develop and.combine the pre-
ceding parts. In it are found the light-
- hearted joy of the first book, the tender-

ness and sadness of the second and third,

the delicious humor of the fourth, and
the beauty and philosophy of the fifth.

It is quite beyond human power to write

a review of a book like the “Collected

Poems,” but the “Golden Bird,” being

poetry, serves the purpose adequately,

en as it makes a perfect climax and
conclusion of the book itself.

tance to modern Spain (in fact tashe|
kmodern civilized * world) as knight-
errantry ‘was to the people of Cefvantes’
time. De la Serna’s objective is medi-
cine-and-the €xéellence of~ his book | ‘de-
bends’ i in great: measure upon his inti-
mate knowledge of this field. He takes
the minutest and most .obscuré fatts of
this science into his employ, and imper-
sonating his materials he makes hi8 work
fully as readable as Don Quixote. To the
reader of today, a bottle of medicine or
a surgeorl’s scalpel is as fit a subject for
rhetoric as: Cervantes’ Kaights.

Le Docteur : Invraisemblable sis com-

posed of a’series of brief spiey character
sketches. Each character is a‘ patient
either cured or abandoned by the doctor,
who is de la Serna himself. His methods
are extraordinary—never trusting to the
customary procedure of the norma
physician in examining his patients—tak-
ing a blood test or an x-ray—this doctor,
after inquiring what the symptoms dre,
and ‘led by intuition alone, prescribes a
remedy fantastically psychological. He
can tell at a ) Blance whether or not he will
be able to save the patient, so he never
wastes time on those who are fore-
doomed, but immediately leaves them to
their cold fate. For the rest, however,
he prescribes with a gay confidence that
is contagious.

*

“No doubt any part of Le Docteur In-
vraisemblable could make the dullest
reader split his sides with laughter, but
cefttain chapters to be especially recom-
mended are those entitled Ma Cousine, La
Vieille Paire de Gants, and Cas Cere-
braux. The first describes a cousin of
the doctor for whom .the diagnosis is
that her morbid preoccupation with death-
beds is killing her. Her cure is the cause
of an ending quarrel of her family with
the doctor, In La Vieille Paire de Gants
we are told how one gentleman’s malady
atises from his persistence in wearing an
old pair of gloves. They have to be
thrown away individually, one in one street
and the other in another, so as to avoid
the danger of infecting anyone else.

a sympathetic analysis of thé brain cells,
punctuated by rhapsodic flights of poetic
fancy, to offset the purely technical basis
of actuality. These are only three chap-
ters, and no doubt each reader will find
for himself others that would please him
better, for they are many, and. highly
varied.

DANGERS OF EDUCATION
~- SHOWN IN HARPERS

Can the. College Woman Compete
With the Stay-at-Home.

An article on the subject of women’s
education that is bound to arouse the live-
liest discussion has appeared in the De-
cember Harper's. It is entitled the Prob-
lem of the Educated Woman, and this
problem it sets forth decidedly from an
angle of parti pris. Its point of view
is directly. opposed to a type of criticism
we have been hearing a good deal too much
of recently, but the author goes to ex-
tremes in expressing it, thus making it of
small value in the solution of the prob-
lem. The writer, R. Leclerc Phillips,
takes the stand that the higher edueation
of women militates against their getting
‘married aiid consequently against “trans-
mitting to the next generation certain
valuable qualitiessof mind and character.”
No doubt it would be a lafhentable thing
that our posterity should not be all that
it might, and in this, few would gainsay
R. Leclerc Phillips. But the unappetiz-
ing picture given of the unmarried col-
lege graduate will bring down upon the
author’s head the derison that is the
inevitable result of exaggeration. If
some of the material for the article was
gathered at Bryn Mawr, we are inclined
to feel that its author may as well give
up now all hopes of ever reading human
nature aright. We do not: hesitate to
second R. Lecerc Phillips in sdeploring
the probable loss of our posterity; it is
only to be regretted that the point has
been spoiled. The text preached is cer-
tainly commendable, but the manner of
its preaching rather holds the text up to
tidicule than gains adherents to the
creed, : :

never be estimated.

CONTINUED FROM PAGH 1.

The one thing that he saw more clearly
than ‘the tragedy of sin was ‘the glory of
salvation; ‘he is “the, world’s -supreme
optimist.” brings us the joy of the
“forever ‘becoming ;” his message is not
one of death, He urged us to be perfect,
and talked of the kingdom of God in the
midst of the worst possible social condi-
tions; There is no greater thing than
putting. before the human mind some-
thing worth working for.

Christ captured our imaginations. He
showed us an ideal that makes life im-
possible without trying after it. How can

 

 

. we live for ourselves when he fias shown

“ag the life of “faith in God.” The king-
dom of God of which Christ-gives us
a vision is surely coming—or else what
is the effort to outlaw war or to establish
social justice ? In Flora Park, Long
Island, there are twelve white families
which, under the auspices of the local
Y. M. C.A. are entertaining twelve
negroes. This does not mean that the
mothers in the families need worry about
their daughters marrying negroes—there
is a long step between human kindliness
and intermarriage. It is merely a. fore-
runner of. thé kingdom of God...

Finally, the third way in which “Jesus
saves us is by showing us th¢ meatis. The
wonderful. thing about his perfection is
that it charms, doesn’t repel us. The
secret of his greatness lies in the -word

“God.” Christ showed us pw we might

achieve the life he achieved; by 4 life of
discipline, a life lived with God. He says
to us, as was said of a picture of. Henry
Martin, the young and idolized’ Indian
Missionary of the last century, “Look at

DROP QUIZZES"

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“He used to entice us into the lecture
room by beginning his talk for the day,
and then, after getting us safely in our
seats, drop a quiz, grinning broadly
meanwhile, Many people have told me
that the quality of their work deteriorated
under his regime, as mine did.” On the
other hand, some students find the unex-
pectedness of drop quizzes an advantage
ix. that,-if they are inclined to nervous-
ness, the quiz comes so suddenly that they
begin immediately to think of thie ques-
tions without brooding beforehand.
Others feel forever distracted by the im-
minence of drop quizzes. They cannot
help wondering, as they do their assign-
ments, whether there will be a quiz the
next day. The result is lack of concen-
tration and inability to study effectively.

One other effect of drop quizzes, in
substituting the fear motive for interest
as a stimulus to study, is that, if for
some reason. the student has done no
work in a ‘subject for a week or so, and
the quiz finds her unprepared, she is apt
not to look up afterwards what she did

 

not know, whereas if she had been
warned beforehand she would have
studied,

And yet, in spite of the drawback of
hanging quizzes as threats over students,
some find the spur a valuable stimulus.
Drop quizzes keep them continually go-
ing over the subject matter. If they know
that a professor is addicted to them they
are fairly apt to keep up with the prep-
aration from day to day.. The knowledge
that a quiz may oe at any time urges
them at least to’keep up with the work
if not to get ahead of it.

Also, much depends upon the fre-
quency and the timing of the quizzes.
They are just insofar as they are given
at a time by which the majority of” the
class, if reasonably conscientious, has
completed the work assigned. It is neces-
sary that the professor be reasonable
about the’ quiz in case the student hap-
pens to be unprepared on a lesson. There
may have been circumstances which have
prevented a good. student from doing the
work assigned. There should be at ‘least
three drop quizzes during the course if
any are given. The more quizzes, the
fairer they are as a cross-section of the
ability of the class.

The above is a resume Gt the points
brought out by the students arguing pro
and con on this subject. It seems clear
that there are certain acknowledged
values which need to be considered and
if possible conserved in the system

tendency to fall below one’s best ‘unless
given the stimulus of definite goa.s and
necessary attainments by given times,
some sort of systematic, frequent; and
impartial check-up on studesit’s', work is
needed. i

Is it possible to get the last two of
these desirable ends - without sacrificing
the first? It depends a great deal upon
the attitude of the professor. If it were

possible for all the students voluntarily to}

ask for the use of drop quizzes as 4%
check on their own work, and to really
approve of them, and especially if they
agree to provisions to safeguard the jus-
tice of the plan used, the threatening as-
pect of drop quizzes might be eliminated.

Much better, however, though involving
more work fof the professor, is the use of

assignment is due, 'so that the preparation,

COPEAU SPEAKS

CONTINUED FROM: PAGE az

M. Copeau’s technique was excellent.
Every gesture, every facial expression,
and every change in voice, whether of
pitch, tempo or emphasis, was significant
and illuminating to the text. It was a
pleasure in itself to listen to his voice.
Even with your eyes shut, you could fol-
low perfectly the subtle shades of mean-
ing. = ‘ :

Sympathetic Interpretation.

Behind this technical perfection, more-
over, was a thorough understanding of
Moliere. Throughout his interpretation,
M. Copeau. linked pathos with comedy.
Although you were forced to laugh at
Alceste’s gaucherie or Philantre’s resent-
ment to adverse criticism, there was a
lump in the throat behind that laugh.

M. Copeau’s characterization was in-
teresting, too, because of its impartiality

and tolerance. He presented the char-
acters as Moliere himself probably pre-
sented them, permitting the audience to
pass judgment and arrive at its own

- Those in favor,claimed that if the, sys-
tem were recognized, as it is during ex-
aminations, everyone would have equal
authority: B. Channing, ’29, expressed one
point of view when she said, “If people

‘don’t care enough about quiet hours to

C. Rose, '27, then moved that the quiet

and Stinday evenings, quiet after 10.30,
The nivtion was carried. V.. Newbold,
’27, made a motion to have quigt hours
on* Sunday evenings as on week days:,
that is, from 7.30 to 9.30. Thig was also
passed,

The original resolytign in _tegard to.

» registration was retained,

-. A, Dalziel, ’29, then moved that all the
rules in regard to smoking, drinking,
gambling and’ hazing be kept in their
preSent form. The motions about gam-
bling and hazing were carried without op-
position. E. Nelson, ’27, suggested that
the rule about drinking be omitted as part
of the country’s laws. .F. De Laguna;

27, answered this by saying that the

_ lectually well,

Federal law did not forbid drinking,
merely the sale, manifacture and trans-
portation of liquor.

Smoking Rule Amended.

An amendment to the smoking motion
was made by E, Morris, ’27, including
Wyndham garden in the list of places
where students may smoke. It was
argued that the college did not own this
property last year when the present rule
was made, and that it is perfectly se-
cluded. This: rule; along with the others,
will not go into effect until passed by the
Trustees.

An attempt was made to have smok-
ing in, Philadelphia allowed. Those in
favor of this motion declared that it was
unfair that people living in Philadelphia
should, by the mere act of signing out,
be able to smoke, while others cannot.
In fact those known in Philadelphia as
Bryn Mawr students, usually live around
here and therefore it is really worse for
them to smoke than for the others.

M. L. Jones, handing over the chair to
E. Duncan, vice president, spoke against
the plan. “It would be very unwise to
allow it,” said Miss Jones. “It was a great
concession to allow ‘us to smoke at all,
and there would be many objections if we
asked for anything further at once. In
two or three years the subject can be
taken up again but the time has not yet
come. This is not a vital point and we
had better leave it alone.” |

It was voted to keep the present rule
with the addition of Wyndham garden.

There were _ special

Student Government deliberated

antagonistic points of view were ‘re-
vealed and concrete suggestions “(the

‘offered and explained. Other groups
discussed Athletics, Fraternities, Meth-
ods of-Teaching and Curriculum, and
rendered to the general meeting indi-
vidual reports.

The reports showed a common de-
‘sire to base discussion and «criticism
on facts, such facts to be gathered if
these are not at present available, and
to carry on work and exert influence
insofar ‘as possible in, these special
fields. For example, one investigation
is being made of coaches’ salaries;
another on the tutorial systern and its
many versions, and so on. The Cur-
riculum -group has, in addition, ap-
pointed a committee to work during

every .college the experience of stu-
dents who have already tried new sys-

FROM OTHER COLLEGES

New York Student Council

The “Student Council of New York
City is the outcome of, a succession of
conferences on international questions.
In a preliminary to the Princeton Con-
ference, December 11, 1925, New York
liberal clubs, social problems clubs and
student governments passed a resolution
recommending a permanent organization
which should-call_ogether the students_of
New York City colleges whenever they
wished to assemble.

 

A series of conferences follgwed dur-
ing college season of 1925-26. At Teach-
ers College a mass meeting convened to
discuss the tense Chinese situation. This
meeting elected a student delegation
which interviewed , President Coolidge,
Secretary Kellogg, Senator Borah, and
others on America’s policy toward China.
When these students returned from the
various colleges reassembled to hear the
outcome of the trip.

As a result of these meetings an infor-

The wa¥ was then, paved for a per-

the final step’ was’ taken. The Student
Council of New York City was organ-
ized with the following purpose :
unite the. students of the New York col-
legés, to interest them in local, national
and irfternational problems,- to» quicken
response to the needsof humanity, and
to secure expressions of student opin-
ion on all subjects of vital interest.”

By Calling a November Conference the
Student, Council hopes to launch its first
big undertaking—the proposed delegation
to Russia—with an early start. A letter
has gone out to many colleges urging
student: co-operation. “The delegation,”
the Council announces, “will be limited
to a carefully selected . representative

dents, and recent graduates who are yvital-

Mr. Lindsay illustrated js point »;
telling of three Englishmen ‘he had net
Ameria. One, a South
Wales miner, was at Yalg, in a good fra-
ternity, getting along well; ano her had
been a_ Yorkshire agricultural
whose wages by immigration had sprung
from $7 to $30 a- week; the third was

it difficult to emigrate even ty Canada.

Tracing the connection .between com- |
munis: a and lack of baths, Mr. Lindsay
said: .“ You can’t expect to have healthy |
points of view if the people are not clean. |
In the district, of Llondon where I live, '
there are a quarter of a million people |
and I doubt if there are a hundred baths.”

It is easy to talk a lot of nonsense |
about the failure of democracy as Wells |
does in The World of William Clissold,
but there has been popular education in |
England for only fifty years.

These are some of the reasons behind ..
the general strike. ‘in the first place, the '
basic industries are depressed, and the
non-essential industries, such as the fae-
tories for automobiles and silk stockings,
are booming. “We have our backs to the
wall. A man needs clothing, food and
shelter to live, and those things are hard
to get in England. today.”

“The general strike came on us like a
thief in the night,” declared Mr. Lind-
say. “The immediate occasion was the
refusal] of a group of compositors to set
an article for the Daily Mail. And then
workers from the $4000-a-year station
saster to the $13-a-weeker went out for
the sake of men whom they had nevér
seen, the miners. It was revolutionary
but legal. It was merely trying to bring

extra Parliamentary pressure on a.rep- |.

resentative government, something bank-
ers frequently do. But when five million
people do it, it is very inconvenient. For
ten days everything was black and white,
no gray. Most people in England are
sitting on a fence. For te days the
fence was removed, and it was very un-
comfortable. One was avowedly labor
or capital.”

The strike was never taken seriously
and when it was crushed ky the Gov-
ernment the workers went back under
worse cor@itions than those under which
they went out. “England is fundamental-
ly a political country; we have a respect
for law ingrained in us, Passions were
very near the top during the strike, but
the ridiculous was there, too, and com-
mon sense kept us placid.”

The problem that produced the general
strike still exists. What is the future
of Great Britain to be? Various sug

England—which means scrapping, and
“We don’t scrap,.and therefore cannot
compete with a country like the United
States, which scraps . everything”—or
turning her into a museum. “We haven't
enough specimens. and that isn’t a pleas-
ant outlook, anyhow.”

“A reorganization of our economic life
is necessary. It is the only way out. The
standing paradox of the man who grows
the cauliflowers and mines the coal, bare-

of the man who handles the bits of paper
and makegg rather moré than a compe-
tence, must be done away with. .

“There is no real magic in the British
Labor movement, only devotion and the
human reactions of people who aren't
willing to be trodden. It is not a street

corner movement, but five and a_half

million organized voters. ‘It is the most
significant thing in England today.”

5 Food and Manners... .  «
The subject of American food and]
table manners is receiving considera-+|

tidh by foreigners Who come here as
“tudents. The Harvard Crimson re-
cently .carriel the following article,
written by a member of the Cambridge
debating team which is tow in this

' country:

else may be true of
an excellent topic fer conversation—

especially for Americans.

But it is not surprising that Ameri-
cans talk much about food. It is sur-
prisingly worth talking about. It has.
‘such strange names. I think that the
‘rst, dish I ate in America was called
“Chicken Gumbo,” and the second
“Fricassee of Chicken au paprika with
noodles.” This I*took entirely for the
sake of the noodles. It was as if I
ihad read on the menui—Tripe and
onions with Knobs on, or Piuttered
Boob. Noodles have been following me
‘wherever I go. Even at the British
Luncheon Club in New York'1 was
told that there were noodles in the
soup. In one restaurant I have -eaten
home-made egg noodles, and in an-
other buttered noodles, which sounds

horrid—like a man with a_ running
nose. :
Eat for Calories Sake.
But not only do you give food

strange names: you expect such a lot
from it. You do not eat merely for
fun, or to keep body and soul together,
or because you are hungry, you eat
for the sake of the health and pros-
perity of the United States. There is
nothing like making sacrifices for a
great ideal, or taking a meal for the
sake of its calorific value. I have dis-
covered something of this in the edu-
cational efforts of New York cafe’
proprietors who bring culture to the
chop house and an air of learning to
the cafeteria. The other day I read in
one of the educational establishments
presided—over—by—Mr.—_Child_the_fol-
lowing toothful of wisdom:

“In classical mythology the first
‘period of the world’s thistory was
called the Golden Age.

“This was followed by the Silver
Age,'the Bronze Age, the Heroic Age
and the Iron Age.

“We are now living in the Vegetable
Age—never before have vegetables en-
jioyed such popularity. .

“And as a result.-good health and
prosperity are found on every side.
