Major Arthur Biles, fate - British ad-|
pila ana Seen
A. combined journalistic and literary
publication has made its first appear-
ance at the Phebe Ann Thorne Model
School. It is to be issued twice a month
Editor-in-chief.
The first number, which appeared last
week, predicts interesting matter for
the future. Besides . several clever
poems, it contains a well-written review
of the Faculty Concert. In the Editorial
Column the history of the paper is brief-
ly outlined, as the “combined work,
after rival attempts in the past, of
classes IV and V to maintain a paper
with literary selections.’ Any student
may contribute.
The students came over to the college
to mimeograph the first issue, but later
on they hope to have their own print-
ing press. At present the greatest prob-
lem before the editors is an appropriate
name for the paper; the whole school
is to vote on the matter soon.

PLANS FOR SEMESTER DISCUSSED
AT C. A. CABINET MEETING
Would Give Board Members Working
Knowledge of Association
Eleven members on the board and
board chairmen of important committes
are part of the new scheme of organiza-
tion outlined at the meeting of C. A.
Cabinet held last Thursday evening in
Denbigh.
M. Carey, ’20, President of the associa-
tion, explained a form of organization
that would make the board members ex-
ecutives on committees. Each member
of the board, except the President and
Freshman member, would be assigned to
one of the most important standing com-
mittees of which she would automatical-
ly become chairman. The other commit-
tees would unite in electing other rep-
tesentatives on the board. The Fresh-
man member elected after Christmas
would become secretary. Thus without
lessening class representation the board
would obtain a working and not a the-
oretical knowledge of the association
it was governing.
Faculty Tea for Graduates.
The first of three teas given by the
faculty to the graduate students was
held this afternoon in Radnor. Hall
Members of the faculty who received
were Dean Smith, Professor and Mrs
Sanders, Professor and Mrs. Barnes, and
Professor Schenck.

Myth of German Intellectual Superior-
ity.” The lecture, which will be under
the auspices of the History Club, will
show that “the brains that won the war
can preserve the fruits of victory.”
Before the war, Major Bles was a
well-known English editor, artist and
lecturer. In August, 1914, he raised in
Paris, Major Bles’ Rough Riders, com-
posed of 70 per cent. American volun-
teers. Although Major Bles is little
known in America, he is considered the
best lecturer in the British army. In ad-
dition to his work in the trenches and
his duties as Town Major of Roubaix,
and later as British Administrator in
Cologne, he delivered 408 lectures to of-
ficers and men during the last two years
of war.
Major Bles’ lecture tour in the Unit-
ed States is under the auspices of a com-
mittee headed by the Prince of Wales,
and including such men .as_ Premier
Clemenceau, Marshal Foch and Field
“Marshal Haig.
EVENS BOOST CLASS MORALE
Will Hold Even Class Council.
Reproducing the College Council on
a smaller scale, the Seniors and Sopho-
mores have instituted an “Even Class
Council” which will hold its first sitting
tomorrow. Representatives serving on
the Council will be the officers of the
two classes, and the hall representatives.
Topics listed for discussion are: “What
is your. class contributing to Bryn
Mawr?”; “Why be athletic?”; “Why don’t
we sing well?”; “The advantages of hall
organization;” and “Class parties—how
many, and of what kind.”
Revive Even Class Book.
“Rules of etiquette for every college
occasion” are being worked out and tab-
ulated by the class officers of 1920 and
1922, who are rewriting thes “Even Class
Book.” The odd classes have never had
such an institution, but the evens have
kept it for many years, handing down
the book from Senior to Sophomore
president.
This year the book is being thoroughly
revised, and will contain such headings
as; “do’s and don'ts” for Freshmen; an
outline of the class business for the
whole year; list of songs needed for
every occasion, etc.
WOMAN EXPLORER HERE FRIDAY
Miss Czoplicka to Talk on “With the Na-
tives of Siberia”
“With the Natives of Siberia” will
be the subject of a lecture illustrated
with lantern slides, to be given by Miss
Marie Czoplicka, Polish explorer and
Oxford University lecturer, in Taylor
Hall, Friday afternoon at 4.30.
. Miss Czoplicka headed, in 1914-15, an
anthropological expedition to the Yene-
sei Valley, in Siberia, and has written
a book on the subject, called “My Sibe-
rian Year.” “Besides being an expert
in her subject,” says one critic, “Miss
Czoplicka has the gifts of popular ex-
position and vivid description. She com-
bines in a rare manner the insight and
sympathy of the artist with the knowl-
edge and accuracy of the scholar.”
