ability for sustained speaking inthe stu-

“Most important rules for public speak-
ing,” Mrs. Pankhurst said, “are having
something to say, saying it with conviction,
speaking audibly, and” always~ expressing
oneself simply.” When. she had finished
outlining the purpose and” method of her
course, fourteen. students spoke extempo-

A public meeting :-will take the place’ of
the next class. Mrs: Pankhurst is to pre-
side, while four principal speakers will dis-
cuss “Immigration and Child Welfare.”
Questions and short criticisms will be made
from the floor. This class is scheduled for
Thursday, March 17, though all further
classes come on Monday in each week.
Mrs. Pankhurst is in this country pri-
marily to combat Bolshevism by, speaking
to schools, colleges, chambers of commerce
and men and women’s clubs. Her. purpose,
however, i is also to promote good relation-

great variety for occidental amusement in
the entertainment for the benefit. of Chinese
Famine Relief, given in the gymnasium last
Saturday night by~ Chinese students study-
ing at the University. of Pennsylvania.

Chen, graduate of Yale University, and
graduate stydent at the University of
Pennsylvania, while M. Foot, ’21, president
of the Undergraduate Association, acted ‘as
stage manager. . mar
“We want to show our American audi-
ence what .we can do,” said Mr. Chen, in
‘an interview with a News reporter. ‘We
are going to play our game in your way.”
The program accordingly included Ameér-
ican singing as well as Chinese’ operatic
selections from classics over 1000 years
old, an occidental ‘interpretative, dance to
Chinese- music played upon instruments in-
verted more than 1500 years B. C., and
two renderings of Chinese plays in Eng-
lish. The acts presented here were from,
a longer. program given-on
at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, in Piiila-
delphia; where the. proceeds amounted to
$5000. :
‘Good Harmony Shown in Singing

K. B. Young, Dr. Don.G: Lew, and Mr.
Cc fyi, who sang “Serenade” with
equal success. . Quite in contrast to this
music were the Chinese operatic classics,
with their falsetto tones and uneven rhythm.
Dr. Frederic Poole, Oriental traveler,
for many years the head of a Chinese mis-
sion in Philadelphia Chinatown and the
only American on’ the. program, illustrated
upon a blackboard the pictorial nature of:

Mrs. Pankhurst believes that now the
first battle for equality is won in the great
English-speaking countries, it -remains- to
solve the problem of the social evil. “It
is the outcome of subjection of women and
is the product of ages,” she asserted.
“Hitherto, men and women -have been
judged by defferent standards. Such a con-
dition is now impossible—equality must be
sought.” In conclusjon,. Mrs... Pankhurst

JESUS IS “TRUTH PERSONALIZED; ”
° SAYS DR. ALBERT P. FITCH
Stresses Need for Intellectual ©
Candor in Present Day
Dr.’ Albert Parker Fitch, Professor of

lege; speaking in chapel last Sunday even-
,ing, said: “We ask you to remember
_ Jesus as the incarnation of all truth. Truth
personalized is the finest form of truth,’
declared Dr. Fitch. ?
ae a Oey when intellectial candor is
such a rare virtue, and one so much needed,
it is a good thing to remember that what
JeSus said and did were in perfect accord
with what he thought.: In this sens He
was indeed the Truth. What He was
spoke so lotdly that people ‘warited to hear
hat F He said; His teaching and experience
Truth in human relationships is measured
not " Historical fact, but by human experi-
ence . Men and women who are what hu-
man experience. proclaims as true, have
reached: the highest degtee of, nobleness.
“Ask yourselves whether you can think of
a finer life than Christ’s, a-better way than
His,” said Dr.. Fitch. “Don’t get side-
tracked on~minor issues.”. Character, he
said, was insight. “Try for the life, and
then you will get the insight.”

COLLEGE COUNCIL MAKES MOTIONS
FOR WEEK-ENDS AND CONDITIONS
Discusses Chapel Attendance and
» Vocational Conference Changes
Week-ends dnd “condition ‘penaltiés were
the principal. subjects discussed at the last
Tuesday in the Deanery. Motions were
passed accepting the schedule for next year
and changing the name of, the vocational
conference. .-Remedies for chapel attend-
ance were stiggested: .
In the case of students with five-hour
conditions, the council felt they should not
be affected to the same extent as by loss
of merits. A motion was passed that for
such students a distinction should be made.
Hereafter offices‘and paid positions may, be
kept, although such studénts will be ex-
guided’ 3 Port plays “atia pity “Seer,
until the condition is passed; with possible
exceptions made-at the: discretion e the
Dean.
After the report “of the Committee on
week-ends was read, remedies for cutting
down the number of week-ends taken were
suggested. These included the honor sys-
tem; scheduled and weekly:,quizzes on Mon-
day, and the abolition of all easy courses,
The council considered satisfactory a plan
whereby students taking between séven and
‘twlve week-ends would be dealt with by the
office and requested not to return in resi;
dencesginless’ willing to go away less often.
Finally a-motion was passed changing
the name of.the present vocational confer-
ence to “Professional and Vocational Con-
ference,” and in a discussion of chapel
attendance it was suggested that-next. year
services be held twice a month unless there.
is an improvement this semester.

DR. DE LAGUNA DEFINES BRYN
MAWR’S MOST DISTINCTIVE GIFT
Senator Hick’s maxim, “Wherever I go,
I intend to get the unobtainable elsewhere,”
was recommended by Dr.- T. de Laguna,
Professor of Philosophy, in his talk: in
chapel on Monday morning.
According to Professor de Laguna, in
Bryn Mawr this “unobtainable elsewhere”
is an {ntroduction to Biblical scholarship.
From a scholarly point of view, he said,
everything that is sectarian is bad; and by
far the greater part of the literature about
the Bible is sectarian. The reader who is
without expert guidance is very unlikely to
find the part that is-of scholarly value. It
is possible to get on without a scholarly
knowledge of the Bible, “but the value of
such knowledge is very great in these times
of spiritual change, for the superiority of
knowledge is that -you-can tie to it.”
