DOCTORS’ CLUB TO EXTEND WORK
INTO SCIENTIFIC FIELDS
Associated branches of medical and
scientific work will be taken up by dif-
ferent speakers at the monthly teas of
the Doctors’ Club this winter. Ophthal-
mology, surgery, public health, sanita-
tion and nursing are among the subjects
under consideration.
By admitting as associate members
any students especially interested in sci-
ence, the Doctors’ Club hopes to extend
its work into the field formerly covered
by the Science Club. The Social Serv-
ice Committee has suggested that the
Medical Society be connected also with
the hospital visiting work.
Honorary members of the club are:
Acting President Taft, Dean Smith,
Miss Applebee, Dr. Potter, Dr. Tennent,
Dr. Brooks and Dr. Huff.

_ Miss Julia.Lathrop, who is Director of
| the Children’s Bureau in the Fedral De-
partment of Labor, holds the most im-
portant political appointment of any wom-
an in the country, she writes:
“It has been for sometime painful ¢ to
know the low scale of pay in women’s
wages, and with the added expenditures
necessary at present and for an uncertain
future, there are few more imperative
needs of money than this for lifting up
the financial basis of the teaching profes-
sion to a proper level, not a mere subsis-
tence level, but a level which permits study,
recreation and a margin for savings.
“Salaries which were named twenty
years ago undoubtedly should be increased
100 per cent. and I trust that not pro-
fessors alone, but young teachers mav
share im these increases. It is not strange
that young people are turning away from
teaching to professions offering less in-
fluence and less satisfying work, because
they cannot afford to make teaching a
profession with the present salary sales.
“Believe me, with all good wishes for
the successful raising of your fund,
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Julia C. Lathrop.”
DR. BECK AN AUTHORITY ON MUSIC
OF FRENCH TROUBADOUIS
Dr. Beck spoke last Saturday before
the Alliance Francaise in Springfield.
Mass. His subject was “La Musique des
Troubadours et des Trouveres Francais.”
Newspaper comment on this lecture
says that Dr. Beck is one of the chief
authorities on the music of that pericd
and that he has established a rational
theory of the rhythm of this music which
is written without indication of rhythm.

ston, in chapel last week, as the largest
girls’ college in China at the present day.
Ginling College is four years old, has
| seventy girls already, and is growing
fast, according to Mrs. Thurston. “To
show .that there is neither ‘east nor
west’ in educational fields, we are out
after an endowment also,” she said. “We
need $500,000 for buildings, and $500,000
for endowment, and I dare not go back
until we have raised it.”
To prove that Chinese women are tak-
ing their places in politics at the re-
quest of the men, Mrs. Thurston went
on to tell of the part that Ginling played
in the great student uprising of last
spring. When the news reached China
of the Peace Conference’s decision in
regard to Shantung, the students all over
the country revolted and rioted, voicing
their indignation at the treatment China
had received from the Peace Conference.
Ginling girls were asked to join the
general strike, and as a result of the
propaganda spread by the students, the
tvo Chinese Cabinet Ministers respon-
sible for China’s humiliation were forced
to resign.

tion of the hour.”

ates present will vote on the merits of
the topics under discussion as presented

BY A BRYN MAWR GRADUATE
Paris Distas
Author of “A Little Gray Home in France,” etc.
BOOK beautifully made and beautifully written.
In it breathes the spirit of the world’s Capital,
the city most loved by all the nations.
It is Paris seen and felt by an extraordinarily sen-
sitive and sympathetic nature in four stages of her
development—as a little girl going about with her
governess, as a young lady interpreting the world in-
dependently, as a young wife dreaming dreams in the
Latin Quarter, and finally as a mother living in Paris
during the four years of war.
Illustrated with 16 exquisite full-page pen-and-ink
drawings done in Paris by Lester G. Hornby espec ially
for the book, and reproduced in tint.
8vo. 396 pages.
