Her selections included cradle songs, drink- ing songs, counting songs,—com- ing-for the most part from the Scan- dinavian countries and the British Isles, although there was a group of French and a group of Yiddish ones, standing which results from an in- tuitive grasp of the spirit of folk- lore combined with investigation on the subject. : Madame ‘\ynd, born in Iceland of Danish parents, at first studied voice ing of folk-songs that she decided to devote all her energies to their inter- pretation—a decision which was for-|; tunate, for her voice, which completely adequate to the- purpose to which it is now put, is not unusual either for its tone-quality, or for its range. However, assisted as it is by her ex- pressive facial antics, Madame Lund’s renditions are delightful.

The German group presented a wide variety’ in its group of three selections: The song of a maiden who has dreamed of her lover’s death (Der Schwere Traum), plaintive in its lyric, in its melody, and in its delivery; a cradle song (Schlaf, Kindchen Balde), and Die Vogelhochzett, the Birds’ Wedding, a ‘comic number which in gave Madame Lund eats opportunity for mimicry.

Miss Thomas was the first to con- ceive of the idea of using the Bryn Mawr College buildings and campus in the summer time for a school for women workers in industry. In 1921 the project was started under tlie lead- ership of Dean Hilda W. Smith, of] Bryn Mawr, and a Joint Administra- tive Committee composed of represen- tatives of Bryn Mawr College and of women in industry. Its purpose was to “give the student an opportunity for development~as ... a responsible member of society, to encourage her to discover her talents and resource: in order to make some creative use of them.” As I think oyer the course of a typical day | me that the se with this. purpose in mind. Every morning was devoted to classes in English, science, dramatics and economics, among which ecohom- ies was the center of interest. - Work- ing with women who have considerable industrial experience, the faculty of the school attempts not so much t) instill new fac#s, as to teach working women how to/deal with the facts they already know. ifficulties of wage scales, working~conditions, and union organization, because they have rele- vance to all of industry,:are studied as scientifically as possible. | The afternoons were spent in rec reation, study, and special projects. At first we had difficulty in persuad- ing the students to take time out for recreation, but the optional projects in literature, writing, singing, art and dancing were supplementary sources of vitality. One of the most signifi- cant aspects of this summer was a new project carried on by the second year students in their discussion of the problems of household -employees. In spite of the unique difficulties in attacking this-situation throygh legis- lation or unionization, they laid a sound basis for further study. Since then, in at least one city, a summer school alumna has formed a group in which women may meet with their domestic employees to discuss, the problems involved in their relation- ship. ‘The evening was crowded’ with the special discussion groups that could not be fitted into the day.

U., pre- sented’ some new aspects of the Philadelphia School Crisis. “After outlining the political and economic reasons for existing conditions, she explained the system of public educa- tion as it stands, “ and suggested further’: expansion needed. After Mrs. Grossman’s. lecture, Eleanor Bailenson, ’39, gave a report of the work of the A. S. U. Investigation Committee. There is, Mrs. Grossman feels, a growing hostility to education on the part of big busirfess in this country, which was expressed in the argument lof the House over the Federal Aid ‘Bill. The general public, apathetic to-this-sentiment;-has-already allowed it to assume actual significance, as cuts in appropriations, fewer cultural classes and lower salaries. ‘In Junior High. Schools pre-voca- tional classes have been introduced into which duller children are put permission. Here they have a mini- mum of reading? writing and arith- metic, supplemented by shops, cooking and handwork. Such separation Mrs. Grossman emphasized is-apt to make the child recalcitrant, and does little to prepare him as a voter. The’ Mayor in his investigation of schools found more than 85‘fads and frills which could be eliminated., Ail appropriations for libraries have been stopped, as well as school lunches and athletic equipment. Moreover, the governor has asked for the reductions of certain taxes which for years have een delegated to the supporteof public schools. Mrs. Grossman ‘gamired her audi- ence that ,this widespread . move against education is, not due to re- cession and money panic, but to a well-planned ,campaign, which will be brought out by the Residents’ Advisory Committee of Education.

R. Genois, Philadefphia director of education under the W. P. A., Industrial Group led the in an elementary discussion of capitalism. -He sees this recession as further evidence that the capitafistic system has ceased to work. Capitalism depends money. on borrowed It is necessarily a dynamic process, always expanding, and is best illustrated by a spiral. ‘When expand- sion is no longer possible, the process stands still. In Europe, Fascism has arisen chiefly, he says, tq maintain capitalistic society in this static cons dition. The methods of Communism would also serve to. sustain such a system. To give a clear picture of capital- ism, Mr. Genois represented. it in the “nure” state. In a hypothetical busi- ness 100 million units of wealth, that is, commodities or services, are pro- duced. These sell for 100 million dollars of: which 30 millions. go/for rent, overhead, taxes and dividers, 65 for wages and five for profit. This last five million is the basis of capi- talism. In Adam Smith’s economy this amount is first saved and then reinvested. Here the “pure” differs ‘from the actual capitalism. Actually the business borrows, on "the strength of the future profits, long before they are earned. In times of prosperity. the amount borrowed is greater than the projected profit, in depressions it is less, _since there’ are fewer. tempting investments. No very good explanations for the collapses of this system have been de- vised. The so-called Production In- dex shows a similarity between the Depression and the Recegsion. Where 100 is normal, the ilex fell from tt9~-in-1928;—to-24-in 19327 A’ year ago it had risen to 117 and is now at 89. Further evidence, Mr. Genois claimed, that capitalism has stopped working, is that where in 1928 we had two. million unemployed, in last year’s peak there were eleven million. President Roosevelt’s: projects made the system seem to work for a while. The fallacy inthe “priming the pump” theory of relief, says Mr. sag is that this money is producing . wealth. . He sees only work relief a as justifiable. In answer to questions Mr. Genois explajned that it is as much to the interest of the “50 families” to have a depression now and then as to have prosperity. When borrowing is great, money spreads widely; during collapse it concentrates in the hands of the rich. Piet ae Mr. Genois. .does not. believe that the recession resus from a deliberate strike of Big Business. Last year’s fear of a’steel strike under the C. I. O. induced many industries tg buy un- usual inventories’ of. steel which are now blocking the market.

Miss. Howe also re- ported on the work of the Decoration Committee for the new dormitory. Julia. Grant, ’88, and. Sarah Meigs, ’39, the undergraduate members of the Decoration Committee. have been choosing the furniture for the bed- rooms, which will consist of a cot bed, designed, as Miss. Ward suggested “to look like a couch by day and feel like a bed by night,” a chest, mirror, desk, desk ¢hair, and lamp. The com- mittee has also looked at a combina- ition bookcase piece which will serve as headboard for the bed. - It has been & suggested that either Julia Grant or ~ . Sarah Meigs shall try living with the furniture in her room for a short time. The downstairs’ rooms are. to be decorated in as plain a style as possible, and no particular -period. Emphasis is to: be on comfort and eolor, The architect’ is cooperating with the decorators in making certain changes in the plans. Julia Grant reported that the list of people transferring: to the new | hall ‘ts finished and posted. No com- plaints about the decision had been received. The plan of the new dormi- tory will go into the book of plans of campus buildings which will probably be sent out to the applicants for ad- mission this Week. Miss Howe’s report on ‘the new schedules for the: college servants il- lustrated the means by which. the resident halls, gymnasium, Taylor, and the library have solved the prob- . lem of adapting the compulsory 12 hour working span to a 16 hour day... All the women servants have been put on-the 44 hour week schedule, but the system for the men has not yet been entirely worked out. Cost for new help required by this law will peiay ‘be about 1,800 dollars. Mrs. Chadwick-Coltmstssaid the °! months of March and April will be given over to the campaign to. raise money for the Mrs. Otis Skinner Workshop. She said that the New York alumnae and the Baldwin School have begun trying to collect money, and that ‘she hopes there will also be © enthusiasm among the students here. Miss Park and Miss Howe said that. ton the cost of’a record library. Records are not only very expensive, but also— very easily damaged, and Miss Park would like to find out how much money would be needed for an adequat maintenance fund for the library in* addition to whatever rental or mem- bership charge there might be. Mr. Alwyne has suggested that if a li- brary is established the halls be pro- vided with good electric victrolas, be- cause playing records on cheap vic- 'trolas_is bad for .them....Miss Park feels there. is a possibility of using some music department funds -to help the halls pay for good victrolas if the students themselves. will pay half the price.

Until the present, the Peace Coun- cil has existed as an informal com- “mittee under the Undergraduate As- sociation, consisting of the presidents of the Undergraduate and Self-Gov- ernment. associations and of chtbs on campus, or their proxies, as well as the editors of the .@ lege News, the rbook, or their proxies. Recently the activities of the Peace Council necessitated a more clearly defined position in relation to what it should and should not be al- lowed to do in the name of the cam- pus. There was also the geriéral feel- ing that since the activities of the Peace Council were so numerous and required’ a great deal of time, it-would be better to have it consist in elected representatives from the clubs rather than their presidents. A committee was appointed to draw up ‘a state- ment as to the relationship. between This: developed into. the form of a constitution..

Theater Review “For the first time in her histrionic career, Ina Claire in Once is Enough takes the part of an intelligent, mat- ter-of-fact’ woman, -who goes so far as to wear horn-rimmed spectacles at times, and enjoys being likened to a school teacher. Except for her dig- nity, the fact that she is called “Your ladyship,’” by. liveried individuals, and the sumptuousness of the décor, one would hardly suspect that she is a end guests are peers. Our idea of the: English aristocracy is limited a mental picture of ermine-robed dies and gentlemen solemnly adjust- ing their ‘coronets in Westminster Ab- bey. But it seems that they are as abandoned as anybody else. — Somewhere we reaa that’ Frederick Lonsdale (the playwright), does not say anything unless he has something to say. In Once is Enough he is say- ing either that if more women held on to their husbands there would be fewer divorces, or that there ought to be more clever women: like his djichess in the world. If. she were not so attractive; her cleverness would be su- perhuman; as it is, she is the domes- tic counterpart of Sherlock Holmes. A brief outline of the plot might clar- ify matters. The duke (Hugh Wil- liams, who was Steerforth in David Copperfield) , becomes enamoured of a temperamental, selfish young thing named Liz (Viola Keats), whose hus- oe is fat and un-understanding. Far-sighted Ina Claire immediately in- vites the pair down for the week- end, pushes matters to the point where Liz and Johnny (the duke), are about to dash off to South Africa for a God- winian honeymoon, and confronts Liz with the statement that she will not give her husband a divorce. Liz, fly- ing into a tantrum, shows. that love without a title is as nothing to her, subsequently urges Johnny to urge his wife, and- succeeds in disillusioning him, too. The play ends happily, re- uniting duke, duchess, and his~ small Besides giving a new angle to the divorce question, Once is Enough, aid- ed by the presence of at least eight other week-end guests, and by the comforting, never-failing intelligence of the duchess, is extremely amusing. Viola Keats takes the same kind of part as Penelope Dudley-Ward in French Without Tears, giving the im- pression that such sirens constitute a definite English type. Johnny echoes Liz’s words just as P. Dudley-Ward echoed: her own, and the duchess has the same sobering influence as Jaquel- line (also intelligent) had. Ina Claire ‘as the pivot of the play, is magnifi- cent; having seen her in Ode to Lib- erty we were impressed by her com- plete metamorphosis. She twists the whole aristécratic house-party around her little finger, but is still human enough to be in love with her stupid husband, Johnny, perhaps because he looks like the duke of Kent.. Finally, it is interesting to notice that though the fascinating females. in these Eng- lish comedies may get to first base, they never “make a home run, or rather, in more understandable terms, they never knock down the wicket.

Algae did not see Mary Anne at her court. presentation, but he cut short his motor trip in order to be in London for a few balls at which she was one of .the reigning, belles. interest in Mary Anne’s social career made him almost forget his original féar of the scandal which drove him out of England three years earlier. Later in the year he met her again at the Dublin Horse Show, where -he was showing his chestnut stallion “thunter Anne de Montmorency, and she was riding her grey mare hack, Kid Glove. Luckily they did not meet ‘jon horseback. During Mary Anne’s third season in London, she was seen constantly with Algernon, and all her friends as well as the current crop of debutantes were frightfully jealous. He was con- sidered one of the most diverting and charming young men in London, and the excellent income, which he derived from his mother’s-fancy sewing work at her cottage in Bucks, made a great impression on all the young ladies. Nevertheless, Algae himself knew that, compared with most of the young ladies themselves, he was relatively poverty stricken. He felt that he would never have enough money to marry and support a wife unless he would determine to take over the fam- ily tea plantation in Ceylon, which had. been lying fallow for years be- .cause. Algae, who had spent the most important years of his boyhood in India, hated the tropics. Before he would allow himself to think. about marrying anyone, therefore, he de- cided to find some way of making a little nest-egg for himself. . It happened that one evening he was a member of a party which in- cluded all his most brilliant and ac- complished friends, among: thent, Virgil Elwelle, the accomplished Eng- lish hornist, Lemeul Liggett Munch, the noted; scholar; “Reginald Fayr- weatherhaugh Rainbeau, Lord Mount- everest, the brilliant young Irish peer, and finally, Boris J. Besstead, Jr., the distinguished ent spy. They were all )sifting around the fire in Reggi ug digs in the mews, and Withers, Reggie’s catarrthic valet, was stealing in and out of the room with whiskies and sodas, when some- one suggested that each person make up and tell a horror story. They sat around the dying fire until four the next morning, and Algae’s marrow froze and his hair stood on end, as each of his accomplished friends re- lated some. gruesome experience of his imagination; but’ Algae himself) couldn’t think of a thing to say. It was a great humiliation to him that he couldn’t hold up his end in such a brilliant circle, and after brooding for days, he determined to show them. Sitting down one evening at the type- writer~he began a story about a fan- tastic monster. .Three days later he finished:and sent to the publishers the sensational book which was later to be the prototype of all mystery horror tales, Lord Peter Whimsey.

Basketball Team Loses : First Game of Season Sudden Spurt of Energy Puts Ursinus Ahead by 33-24 Gymnasium, February 12.—For the first three quarters-of its first game of the season Bryn Mawr’s varsity . basketball team held the lead against Ursinus. After that there was a’'sud- den spurt of energy on the part of Ursinus, which~caught Bryn Mawr unawares. Amid shouts of “Come on, Slim,” and “Come on, gang,” the op- ponents started a system of short, quick passes which not only speeded up the game considerably, but also rolled up a comfortable lead of 33-24 by the end of the game. Whether or not this winning spark was produced by an unusually strenu- ous pep talk at the half can only be conjectured. It was first noticeable, however, ‘just after there was a sub- stitution for one of the Ursinus for- wards. Our guards found it difficult to cope with the new set-up, and as a result the ball remained in foreign territory during almost the entire test quarter.

The second team game against Ursinus was slower and much less evenly matched than the other.. Bryn Mawr, on the strength’ of “numerous very long shots, piled up a final lead of 31-9. Enthusiasm, as usual, was lacking, but the forwards seemed to show good teamwork and a fair amount of accuracy. Rock Basement Keeps College.

New Hall Decorations Discussed by Council Continued from Page One a student: who fails to sign for her first class after a vacation through carelessness although she is actually on campus. Many of the faculty mem- bers on the committee feel that extra work should.not be given as a penalty. The student cut committee also met with Miss Ward and favored the sug- gestion of the Petitions Committee, suggesting that a reduction of one- third in the student’s cuts for the next semester would be a fair substi- tution. They also brought up the question of the deferred examination for deliberate cutting of the first or last class before a vacation, saying that the same question of giving extra work as a penalty applied here; and they would prefer to cancel ‘all’ cuts for the following semester. _ Miss Ward aid that she thought many faculty’‘members would agree with the student cut committee, and that the only argument in favor of the deferred examination is t it is almost in- fallible in preventing deliberate cut- ting. Most of the Council members felt that cancelling all cuts would be just as infallible, and also slightly less disturbing to the academic routine of the student. Mrs. Collins reported’ that there were only about, three students at the lecture on Pre-Buddhistic Art at the Deanery, Sunday, February 6, which !/conflicted with the all-college tea in Goodhart. It was suggested that the all-college tea be omitted February 27 so that the attendance at the Trio Clas- sique concert should be good. Miss Ward pointed out that these teas were inaugurated to provide entertainment on Sunday afternoon, and that if the Deanery entertainments were to be resumed there will be no need for the Julia Grant said, that the Peace Council is drafting a _ constitution, which will be explained to the College Council when it is finished.

She said they were laid out at first as if in order to be. seen from an airplane;.that is, they were planned in a series of graceful curves. She promised that when they were revised it would be so that they would lead most directly from build- ing to building. She also hoped thay E. Foster Hammond >. Incorporated R.C.A.

To facilitate cooperation between Great Britain and United States, differences between Britain and Ire- land must first be settled. With Great Britain willing to co omise, bar- gaining with yIreland will probably result in Britain’s cancellation of long-protested Irish anpuities in re- turn for Ireland’s promise to prevent the use of her ports by countries hostile to England.

The English and Scotch songs (All Round My Hat, The Keys of Canter- bury, Green Grow the Rushes O, Well May the Keel Row) were rather fa- miliar to the audience.
