Freedom of Speech
The letter-column of the News was
created to promote free expression of
opinion on matters of collegiate and non-
collegiate importance. We are glad to
print letter on subjects of general inter-
est, and letters which take into account
the number of people reading our paper.
Fewer letters have been submitted to
the News for publication this year than
in previous years. We believe that this
‘is not a normal state for a wide-awake
community, in whose midst a certain
amount of healthy criticism and com-
ment must perforce be going on. We
urge that this rumbling be not solely
subterranean, and that our letter column
be the clearing-house for points of view
that need to be voiced.

There are many reasons against the
complete abolishing of the rule barring
outsiders from sleeping in the halls.
The picture of the halls of residence
invaded at week-ends and show-times
by a horde of guests who settle, locust-
like upon the community, is not a pleas-
ant one. But surely the present rigid
regulation might be modified without
incurring the abuses which it is intend-
ed to prevent. Students at Vassar and
Wellesley are allowed to have a cer-
tain number of guests a semester in
the hall over night. Cannot some such
modification of the present rule be adop-
ted here?

ERRATUM

The News wishes to correct a mis-
statement made in last week’s issue. On
column three of page one, it was stated
that “With the exception of Ambassador
Jusserand, Abbe Dimnet is the only
Frenchman who has attained literary dis-
tinction by his English writing, accord-
ing to Dean Maddison.” This statement
was not authorized by Dean Maddison,
and was attributed to her by an over-
sight of the editor.

| women whom we have had on our lists

Jin September of last year. Contrary to
our expectations the demand for train-
ed and experienced workers is much
gre than before the war, and we have

a large number of interesting positions
to fill and not enough properly qualified
candidates to fill them. On account of
the break in our placement work we have
not available the names of the many

in the past. We are anxious to get in
touch with all the college women who
would be interested in the positions we
are asked to fill. We have in the past
placed a number of Bryn Mawr women,
and we feel that there must be many
who would now be interested in the
opportunities offered through the Bu-
reau. May we ask you to print this let-
ter in your paper?
We need at present trained and ex-
perienced women for the following posi-
tions: secretaries, with a knowledge of
stenography, for specialized lines of
work, social service workers of all kinds,
experienced case workers, _ scientific
translators, research workers and train-
ed investigators, dietitians, public health
nurses, arts and crafts instructors, in-
stitutional managers, and experienced
purchasing agents.
The war has developed a number of
new types of positions, as yet unstand-
ardized, requiring very diverse prepa-
ration and experience. We need candi-
dates with a greater variety of special
preparation than ever before. We shall
be very grateful if through your paper
we may give this information to a large
number. of Bryn Mawr women. The
Bureau makes no charge for information
or registration, but charges a fee for
placement.
Very sincerely sours,
MARION C. REILLY, ’01.
Acting Chairman of the
Board of Directors.

team preliminaries from 1920 last Friday
by a score of 6-3. Hard fighting on both
sides kept the score even until the last

ed in three goals in quick succession.
Z, Boynton, ’20, co-operated well with
J. Conklin, ’20, at centre, who made two

was the backbone of the team, repeatedly
checking the strong offense of E. Kales,
"21, and M. Smith, ’21, full-back, E. Tay-
lor, ’21, at side forward showed great
skill in picking up long passes and con-
verting them into goals.
Line-up: 1920—I. Arnold*, J. Conklin,
, L. Kellogg, Z. Boynton, J. Justice,
H. Kingsbury, A. Coolidge.

C. Gutinss and A. Orbison Student Student Speak-
ers at Same Meeting — o.

“The Problem of Self Government in
India” was the subject of a talk given.
| by Dr. Gray last Wednesday evening i in
Denbigh sitting room, under the auspices.
of the World Citizenship Committee. C..
Garrison, '21, spoke on Indian religion
and education, and A. Orbison, '22, who.
has spent most of her life in a mission
compound, told some of her own expe-.
riences of the ignorance of the Indians..

Dr. Gray emphasized the fact that
England was doing her best to ‘help the
Indians and showed that her attitude was.
often misjudged. Progressive measures.
are constantly being introduced into-
Parliament for democratic government
and every attempt is made to help the
Indians help themselves, he said.

“How would you like to live in a coun-
try where such proverbs exist as ‘edu-
cating a woman is like putting a knife
in the hands of a monkey,’ or ‘woman
is the chief gate to hell’?” said A. Orbi-
son, telling of her experiences in In-
dia.

The subject for next Wednesday’s dis-
cussion will be “China,”

of major economics, from 10 to 12
v’clock, has been made by the schedule

students taking the group, economics.

jor economics in their Senior year.
