The problem of applying Christ’s prin
ciples to every phase of every day life,
and especially 4p international relations,

Helburn was the winner of the Essay Prize
in 1908, and was “Sunny Jim,” holder of
the Mary Helen Ritchie Memorial Prize.
After graduation she taught English and
drama, until, in 1915, she devoted her time
to writing and lecturing. Miss Helburn is

Women Successful in Law

Miss Dorothy Strauss, a New York law-
yer, spoke Saturday morning on “The Op-
portunities © in. Law for Women.” Miss
Strauss graduated. from Bryn Mawr. in
1908. :

“The lawyer's is a pioneering work,” * she
said, “and every woman must make up het
mind to have a struggle to get recognition.”
She added that the struggle was chiefly
against sex prejudice, for legal obStacles
have been retnoved in every State except
Delaware. _Up to the present it has been
dificult for women to gét training and
| obtain positions: —The--best—law—schools_are
not open to women, and a number of law
firms are conservative and employ-men
alone. “‘No place; however, that- has em-
ployed a woman has ever been dissatisfied,”
Miss Strauss continued, “and :in most: cases
women ar treated exactly as’ men.”

Advantages of the: profession are the
close contact with life and the variety of
work. “There are no two cases alike,” she
declared, “and nearly all the affairs of the
‘world pass over your--desk,A— lawyer
needs ingenuity and adaptability. She must
be able to present advice in an acceptable
form, and put herself in the client’s place.”
* Speaking of ‘salaries,‘Miss° Strauss said
that they were smaller, than those of other
proféssions i in the beginning, so that it- was |
practically impossible to earn a_ living.
After the first few years, however, progress
rests entirely. with the individual. She con-
cluded by advising no one to go in for law
who did not have a-naturalleaning for it
plus a private income.

Child Wélfare Presents Vast Field

“Child ‘Welfare” was discussed on Satur-
day morning in Pembroke West by Mr. F.
Prentice Murphy, director of the Seybert
Institution, Philadelphia, and Miss ~eah
Feder, supervisor ,of the Children’s’ Aid for
Eastern Pennsylvania, and for two years
graduate student in the Cardta Woeris-
hoffer Department at Bryn Mawr.

Feder, offers great chances for success
whether one goes into it as a paid worker
or merely as a citizen of a community.
Private organizations, such. as, the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
and the Children’s Aid, need visitors for
country and city, psychologists, psychia-
trists and ~doctors, —-besides’. workers _ for
institutions.

Mr. . Murphy. accentuated the opportuni-
ties -for work in the child welfare field by
describing the inefficiency of the present
agencies; Mr, Murphy cited- cases to show
how ~ children ™ are being neglected and
handicapped in the institutions meant for
their welfare. “So great is the injury to
children in public and private agencies that
all the workers that we ¢ould-muster-from
the men’s and women’s colleges would be
but a drop in- the “bucket ‘for- ‘a tong time,”
he stated. ;

“The job of the child welfare worker is

‘vard on April 2 and 3, for the-purpose of
organizing an International Liberal Society,
Four well-known men, representing’ various
businesses and professions, addressed the
conference.

Walter Lippmann, of the New Republie,
gave the opening address on the afternoon
of April 2. Edwin F. Ladd, formerly the
president of North Dakota State Agricul-
tural College, was the only candidate elected
ta the Senate last fall by the Non-partisan

The principles of the -organization .are
“the cultivation of the open mind“ the de-
velopment of an informed student’s opinion
ori social, industrial, political and interna-
tional questions; the encouragement, of in-
quiry; the presentation of facts; subserv-
ience to no isms, and the education of the
college youth in the problems of ‘citizen-
ship.” In scope the organization -plans to
be national and. affiliated with similar
groups abroad, “with a yiew to an eventual
international league of college liberals.”

“The indifference of
modern college students
to the events of their
day and age is appalling,” said an emi-
“nent New Yorker the other day. We hope
that this gentleman read in his Monday
Times the principles: of an intercollegiate
liberal organization: ‘proposed by the confer-
‘ence of student. delegates held ..at..Cam-
bridge, last Saturday. A banding together
of students is significant. Their organiza-
tion for “the cultivation of the open’ mind

. Taking in the
“Outside World”

and the development of an informed stu- |

dent opinion on social, industrial, ‘political
and international questions” is still more
‘so. We earnestly hope that Bryn Mawr
will not be the last to shake off the
damning “indifference.”



Track: an This winter Bryn
Intercollegiate Sport - Mawr played two in-
tercollegiate basket-

ball games, initiating a new custom. Track
is a sport, that has perhaps more records
than any other established throughout ‘the
world. Now that the. athletic board has

reduced the events in order to. avoid the}

painful “charlie horse’ and to make the
spring. schedule less scattered, there is real
opportunity for developing’ it as a sport.
Although ‘track lacks the immediate-com-
Petition of games, like hockey and basket-
ball, there is a broader competition. From
this point of view why should we not work
it up at Bryn Mawr as we do our basket-
ball ‘with the hope of an intercollegiate
meet some day?



People who lead a busy life
at college fall into two distinct
groups. There are those whose: life is one
breathless rush. These arrive at their first
class direct from bed. In their free hour
they make straight for Wallace’s and break-
fast, arriving at their next class at exactly
nifeteen minutes past. Fridays. they may
be seen feverishly wending their way down
to the station at. five minutes to one, with
coats unbuttoned and valises crammed,

A member of the second group does not
behave in quife the same way, Her friend
will find her sitting on the sofa without any

tas Tests- Important in Industry -

* “The Development and Use of ro
logical and Trade Tests in Industry” w
discussed, by Dr. Joseph Hays of the Scot
Company. .

“The * greatest value, of the tfades test
eofiaind, as it:is being developed in the
army. and in industry,” said Dr. Hays, “is
‘that it shows what equipment a.man has
today.” Individual differences in people
are being recognized through ‘these - tests.
“At the present time the slogan, ‘Hire care-
less and ‘fire fast,’ is in vogue again. But
the psychologist has helped to emphasize

“~Mr. Shelton Talks-on- Labor

-“Production, Labor Adjustmerit and Per-
sonnel Atiministration” were subjects dis}].
cussed at the meeting in Pembroke sitting
room on Friday afternoon.

Mr. H. .W. Shelton, ‘industrial engineer,
Philadelphia, spoke first on the question of
production. “In considering our fitness for
this kind of- work,” he said; “we must think
not of what we are to get, but of what we
can give. The great boon of college life
is the chance it gives of getting the in-
formation that will help -in—production
work; that is, especially a knowledge of
geographical and. natural resource, of bank-
ing, foreign trade, law, bookkeeping, statis-
tics, language (notably French and Span-
ish) and the sciences. Sound judgment is
the most necessary trait for this business,
and sound judgment is the result of the
background an -education gives.” The
qualities of most value in production work,
according to Mr, Shelton, are a scientific
mind, willingness to work with the” hands,
thoroughness, and. a_ philosophical mind.
“There are three fields that contribute to
productive effort, ” Mr. Shelton -said, “the
physical, emotional and ‘mental.
bit of advice, Mr. Shelton urged starting

ence can be gained much faster.
Judgment Needed in Labor Adjustment.

“Labor Adjustment” was next discussed
by Miss H. E. Porter, formerly of the
Baltimore Clothing Matket.

“Complaints. are as’ many as workmen,”
she said, “and there is oes need for spe-
cial departments of employment whose
worth must in every case be proved to the
employers. The person at the head of such
a department must expect antagonism from
the superintendents and foremen to whom
they should be more closely related. He or
she must. know all the operations that are
carried on in the business (at first hand if
possible) and the conditions. under which
thése go on.” Miss Porter warned anyone
who contemplated such a position against
judging any question hastily, especially in
a‘case of poor work. “Tie position de-
mands, above all,” she said, “good common
sense and the. ability to see around and
see all sides of a question.”

Employment Department Economical

The subject of ‘Personal Administra-
tion” was taken ‘up last by Miss J. Stack-
house, employment manager, T. E. Brown
Company, Philadelphia. “°

She emphasized the necessity and ad-.
Vantage of an employment department
as the only means’ of keeping the man-
agement in touch with the workers. . “La-
bor is Brains and heart rather than
‘| merely--hands,.as..it.has_so long been.
considered, " coming more atid more to realize the im-
porta of the personal element in the
sel of tbor ; the organization of an
employment department means economy by
redtiction of the number of persons trained,
| redvittion of accidents and of the foremens’
energy, and an _ increase in skill of ‘the
workers.” ,

‘in Radnor Hall on Friday. .

“The teaching of history of art is a very

The best way for one 'who really wants to
paint is to have some other: work, so that
painting is done for its own sake. “I have
heard great artists say that they look to
women for a real contribution to art,” Miss
Jameson. concluded.

Interior Decorating Profitable

“Women are particularly fitted for the
vocation of interior decorators,” said Mr.
J. Frank Copeland, instructor in the School
for Industrial Art in Philadelphia, “because
they tiave an innate sense of color and
native abilities that men do not have.”

Opportunities for good positions in this
newly recognized freld of industrial art are
open for..women who have studied two
years or more in special schools, where
they get artistic background, practical ex-
perience and knowledge of color, propor-
tion, interior architecture, period furniture,
etc... The artistic side of this work is not
so lucrative as the commercial, .Mr. Cope-
land said.

“In order to be a really good lendechine
architect,” said Miss Emily Exley, land-
scape architect of Philadelphia, “you must
know everything, from the history of archi-
tecture to insect pests.” A practical knowl-
edge of plants, soils, trees, shrubs and
stones’ are the fundamentals on which to
build the. balanced and harmonious picture
of.a successful garden. Landscape archi-
tecture is, according to Miss Exley, an
excellent vecation for women, as well as a
fascinating one, =

Need for Teachers Stressed

by Miss Sarah M. Dean, of the Head

After mentioning the great sshd for
teachers, Miss Dean told of the four-great

Secretarial_-Work Pays. Welt

Opportunities for women along secre-
tarial and clerical lines were pointed -ottt
by Miss *Eugenia Wallace, vocational and
employment director of ‘the central branch
of the Y. W. C. A, in Merion sitting room
on Friday. Following this the question of
salesmanship was discussed by Mrs. Martha
L.. Davis, insu#ance agent of the Provident
Life and'Trust Company. Miss Wallace
and Mrs. Davis were introduced by Mrs.
Smith,_professor—of_economics.

“Don’t choose your occupation for its
beginning salary, for it is likely to be a
dead end,”~ began Miss Wallace. “It is
good to start by doing steiographic work
for this, gives an opportunity of learning
business, and is a step toward secretarial
and managimg positions.” In order to ad-
vance, she stressed the necessity of doing
the obvious thing, taking suggestions and
assuming responsibility ; in other words, be-
ing always ready for opportunity. Posi-
tions as secretary and as employment and
correspondence - managers~ are accessible
from such a start, and ‘pay well.

emphasized the number of college women
in this line, and explained that in =filling
clerical openings college references. count,
and women who have specialized in eco-
‘nomics and mathematics are preferred.
Moreover, according to Miss Wallace, cler-
ical positionsare plentiful today. .Banking,
advertising, statistical, and import. and ex-
port “work, all offer good salaries and op-
portunities for women, particularly in small
towns.

Mrs. Davis, who spoke after Miss Wal-

then talked generally on salesmanship and
ther own experience. “Salesmen say that

-| everything is a matter of salesmanship,” she

said, “and the new idea in business now
is one of service.”

Library \ Work Intereating :

Variety and. interest characterize the
work of the professional librarian, accord-
ing to Miss Mary Sutliff, from the New
York Public Library, who spoke in Pem-
broke East op, Friday.

She said that democratic and. widespread
in its influence, the librafy served men
without regard to their creed or race... Ref-
erence work, cataloguing, executive or chil-
dren’s work are some of the branches of
the profession. A stall library calls for
all these things. “The great advantage of
.the -work,” she declared, “is the compan-
ionship of books; it’s drawback, until recent
years, has been the poor pay. Lately, how-
ever, things have been improving ‘and the

The present ‘situation in regard ‘to em-.

The present industrial and business de-

CAPACITY SAYS DR. ARLITT

Equality of Opportunity Discussed

In Chapel on Friday Morning ,
‘Whether or not the government can
secure equality for all was discussed by Dr.
Arlitt, associate professor in educational
psychology, in chapel on Friday morning.
“Intellect is distributed in the same
fashion that height is,” she said. “In
every crowd there is a certain number
above and below the average height and

Four per cent. of the people in the United

|States are capable only of advancing to

the fifth grade, 11 per cent. to the eighth,
and a very, small number to college. It is
thought that a change in economic condi-
tions would: raise this” capacity, but experi-
ments have proved that:“no change is
effected by putting an inferior person in a
home of superior social status. Superiority
is not due to environment, but to inhate
‘capacity. This means that there are many
people suited only for inferior positions;
fortunately, there aré many positions in
which any but a mediocre mind would be

érnment can do is to educate the people to
the limit of their ability.”

VASSAR PLAYERS ON ROAD GIVE
SERIES OF THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS

Will be in Philadelphia April 9

Three plays of one ‘act each will be

bers from 1921, who are attending classes
regularly in the meantime. This | ‘is the
first time that Vassar undergraduates have
acted outside college. They have already.
visited Detroit, New York, Albany, Boston,
Hartford and Washington.

‘The three one-act plays on their program

of the class of 1917, and Dorothy, Stock-
bridge, of 1919, during their undergraduate
days. Theyare “Aria da Capo” and “Two
apices and a King,” by Miss Milay, and
