On. Tuesday, No- vember 11, at 10 o’clock, foreign students, both graduate and un- dergraduate, will discuss compara- tive. systems of education in a round table assembly. Among the subjects to be dis- cussed will be: the standard of values each country has for edu- cation; how this explains its par- ticular system; liberal arts versus specialized education; extracur- ricular activities, and democracy Madame Francoise Dony, warden of Wyndham, will generalize on each topic and then? round table of students repre- nting major foreign educational systems will bring out essential fferences, The round table will be com- posed of Grazia Avitabile, repre- senting Italy, France and similar systems; Margaret Hughes, South America; Virginia Dzung; China; Ruth Fiesel, Germany; Royal Keyes, Canada; Alice Laing, Scot- land; A.

Located on Lancaster Pike, between “Ardmore and Hav- | erford, the plant has increased its payroll over 300 per cent since the summer of 1940, and has received about 30 million dollars worth of defense orders. Mr. Wood, the advertising man- ager of the company, described the various army vehicles which the, plant is now making, said there were about 3500-under production or on order. has restricted the area from which the plant may hire employees, the monthly _ wages.-paid- out, which now amount to about a quarter of - a million dollars, go to families which have resided in the Main Line area for at least six months. ~ « Because the articles: for defeiise produced by the plant do not differ essentially from its regular line, defense orders began coming in June, 1940. Most of them are for half-track . vehicles, which are a combination of a tank and a truck, with caterpillar treads on the back wheels and regular truck wheels in Since the government | front. The half track scout car, de- signed to carry scouts for what Mr. Wood called “blitzkrieg busi- ness,” carries two 380 calibre ma- chine guns and one 50 calibre gun, and can also’ pull a 155 millimeter Howitzer. It is called M2. M3, which evidently follows it, carries a gun crew for the. Howitzer; it must be able to go 50 miles an hour over a hard road and 25 miles an hour over open country. “The latest anti-tank weapon,” T12, is the-other- machine manu- factured at the plant. It carries a '75 millimeter rapid-fire cannon, which has, Mr. Wood explained, the advantage of being more mo- bile than a field gun. T12 is also a half-track car. : Since trucks also are eel in defense, the pape: has. ree an A3 priority ratm g to’ oe ac- ture its regular line of trucks. Al- though this production will be ssomewhat reduced, the Autocar Company is endeavoring to keep it at as high a rate as possible.

Sevringhaus Continued on Page Three Hitler Attacked in Fear of Russian Technical Advance Says ‘Journalist Goodhart, November 4, 8:30.— Germany is definitely in for a win- ter campaign, Walter Duranty said in his lecture “What Will Rus- sia Do Next?” “The Russians have no reason to wilt.’”’ The morale of the Kremlin, of the people and of the. army is good. Industrial de- velopment has made great strides in the last five years and is now 60% to 80% as efficient as our production. As long as the Soviet can keep her armies disengaged, she will fight on. With the “scorched earth policy” prevailing in the south and the trackless woods in the north, the Germans face formidable difficul- ties. True, German transportation is much better than that of the Russians, but as the German ar- mies close in upon the Soviet cen- ters, the opportunity for mobility diminishes. British night bombing has relaxed pressure on Russia. At the present moment there is a pos- sibility of an English attack in North Africa to further relieve the Soviet. However, chances of a successful thrust at Italy ‘are slight, Mr. Duranty said. There are two important ques- tions which must be answered to clarify the present Russian situa- tion, Mr. Duranty pointed out. I. ‘Why did Hitler attack Russia? The German invasion, a sudden, unprovoked aggression, was moti- vated principally by the realization that Russia was progressing tech- nically faster than expected. At the outbreak of the Russian cam- paign, Hitler was—getting—over—a million tons of oil and gfain. How- ever, he felt that, sooner or later, he would have to secure total domi- nation of Russia’s raw materials if he was to combat the steady Brit- ish resistance and the increasing U, S..aid. Hitler also felt that Russian op- position would be negligible. He believed the army to have been fa- tally weakened by the purge possi- bly even rendered disloyal. Mr. Duranty stressed the fact that, while the purge taxed the nation, it did rid the country of traitors. By 1941, Ryssia was “picking her- self up” and had conquered. the mass hysteria which prevailed dur- ing the trials. The second question, Mr. Du- ranty said, is—2.

Despite the | honest regard we have for it, we find that it adheres to two prin- | ciples—two principles which are not Feally-compatible. | It draws up a yearly budget before the drive gets under way, allotting a fixed sum to each of the organizations to which it con-| tributes..

It couldn’t do both. | The whole thing is run on the assumption that too small a percentage of contributors» makes any special provision for the destination of its funds. Well-meaning canvassers are apt to serve contributors up with the even more fallacious notion that differences of preference “cancel out.” But if the Drive intended this ear-marking privilege as a gesture to absorb the violent feelings of a few contributors; if this gesture is to be discarded as soon as it conflicts with the origi- nal budget, the Drive would be more candid to offer no prefetence | privilege at all, The. Activities Drive is primarily a convenient pooling of efforts. If it wishes to assume the additional function of a poll, it is not justified in preparing a budget in advance. If individual opinion is to function in the Drive, it should be voiced before the budget is drawn up, no matter how vague a commitment this budget may be.

First, the scene. The place was packed. LaGuardia had put 700 cops on the job. Flags covered the balconies; and every devotee had two small ones, ong, for America and one for America First. A band blared: “Coluntia, the Gem of the Ocean” and be heard was the urgent roll of drums, Pandemonium. A blue spot was trained on Lindbergh and who are raising their voices for peace.” Mrs. Bennett Champ Clark took the platform, and asked the crowd to stand. We sang “America.” John T. Flynn, chairman, took over the meeting. With a preliminary jeer at the ridiculous idea of “Hitler. coming over here” (laughter from the crowd), he launched into a denunciation The networks, he declared, give 42 programs to interventionist propaganda for every grudging single spot to those who oppose war. On their hands, and on those of the commentators, those “male and female atigels of war,” will lie the blood-guilt of the nation. He spoke of the ‘“President’s pledge.” reference—a flock of cheers, boos, and a shout of “He’s a traitor!” arose. The broken pledge was given a year ago that night, Flynn said; and rallied the crowd with the declaration that the meeting was a protest against the President’s “infamy,” and “a last stand against the minority forces of the nation.” John C. Cudahy followed Mr. Flynn. His. manner was not as rhetorical; his words were deliberate. He swore a solemn oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He told of seeing the German war machine roll, invincible, through Belgium, and declared that war for us is equally hort A truce should follow the Russian campaign. America, withMier tremen- dous war-potentiality.as a threat, and the lure of her 65 millions of gold, can go to the peace table prepared to lay aside trade barriers and arrange intelligent terms. This policy must be adopted, he cried. We, the common people of America, who have never been given a hearing, speak for youth, for “the mothers whose tears of anguish will flow in torrents of anguish across this land,” against our government, “a despotism more_revolting than the despotism-of Germany.” Total uproar again when Lindbergh took the stand. Again the blue spotlight. An epidemic of photographers, flag waving, the band inaudible. Behind us a woman repeated, “He’s the man for the country.” Lindbergh, not 35 feet away from us, was genuinely surprised and stirred by the immense welcome. When silence finally came, he began to speak, We are being insidiously led to war. We are a people run by the government. We cannot defeat Germany; we will not gain by war; and our civilization cannot last through a long conflict. Our danger is now from within, and our need is for new leadership in Washington; that will take the American people into their con- fidence. The applause surged up once more, increasing as Wheeler came forward. He assured the audience that he had “no maps in his pockets” but'there .was bitterness in his tones. Roosevelt has usurped dictatorial powers and has deceived the American people. His word is no more to be trusted than Hitler’s.

Grades - October 30, 1941 To the Editor of the COLLEGE NEWS: What is the purpose of numeri- cal grades such as the college is using under the present system? The two possible answers which I see are first, so that the college may have a basis for awarding its degrees, and second, so that the scholarship committee may have a basis for awarding its scholar- ships. What is the purpose of under- graduate examinations? The obvi- ous answer is so that numerical grades may be given. Then, if grades were not necessary; exami- ter each professor would give each student a grade (only accurate to within about five points) which would go on record nowhere, and which would be only for the stu- dent’s benefit. (This is for the numerous students who claim that they never know how well they are meeting the standards. of the course until they have received a definite grade.) All students who at this time received a grade be- tween 55 and 65 would be required to take an examination. Students who passed the examination, along with all who had received over 65, would be given course credit, while those who failed would receive no credit.

But considering the rough and_slip- pery field, it is not surprising that their play was not up to ‘standard. However, against Temple and Penn, when Chris rejoined her teammates, they woke up : and played lively and encouraging matches. After a long wait in the steady rain, the girls to compete in the final play-offs were selected. To see the cream of the players face each other was really the best of the morning. From them, the first and second teams were chosen. Watch- ing that ubiquitous hockey player, Helen Resor, play an excellent de- fense was exciting, and it is in- teresting to note that, although Frannie Matthai regularly plays right inner, she will bé the right wing of the Philadelphia Intercol- legiate Hockey Team. The result of these try-outs is a tribute to Bryn Mawr’s fund of hockey talent and ‘especially to Miss Grant’s effective job of coach- ing.

And the Soviet Union—Mr. Du- ranty first went to Russia in 1921 with the Hoover Food Commission. Technical progress, he said, has in- creased almost geometrically, since then. “If you ever had car trouble in some village then, nobody could help you, except to hitch up a horse and buggy and pull you out of the mud. Now even the Russian girls can take tractors apart, and put them together again.” Much of the tension which pre- vailed in the USSR during the trials has been relieved. “After three years in prison, a young fel- low I know,” he said, “has just been returned. to active manage- ment of a large industrial plant. He’s got a more responsible job than he had before.” Mr. Duranty had spent five years in America without getting west of Philadelphia, but this sum- mer he discovered Los aes: “Los Angeles is wonderful. Every- | body goes to bed so early you can really work hard.” At this Peier- ean fount, he turned out his new book, The Kremlin and the People, at the rate of 40,000 words a month. “Which is damned good,” said Mr. Duranty.

OPINION Continued from Page Two cram for an examination.) All students with grades of over 65 would have the privilege of taking this examination with their pass- ing grade as 80. Those who passed this would get a socalled. scholar- ship rating. Those who failed to get 80 would not get this rating, but would get the same credit as if they had not taken the examina- tion. Now the question arises as to how these “tentative” grades would be arrived at by the professor. In the case of such subjects as Math., Sciences, and Elementary Lan- guages daily papers solve this In other courses (Social Sciences, Literature Courses, and RENE MARCEL French Hairdressing 853 Lancaster Avenue Special Rates to Students Philosophy) there are _ papers, which really measure the actual value received from the course rather than the cram-ability. I see several distinct advantages to this system over the one in use First, it makes for more thorough work since it gives the student an opportunity to ex- plore the fields in which she is par- ticularly interested without the distraction of examinations. Sec- ond, it would require more initia- tive on the part of the student, and would make for more original particular subject rather than do- ing stereotyped work, the profes- sor and the students would have a better basis for choosing the major field.
