~ BRITISH "EDUCATIONAL HEAD- ADDRESSES EMPLOYEES

Sixty-five Names Handed. In for Mr. Mansbridge’s Proposed Classes

(By Special Pe teil

Although the. Workers’ Educational
Association represented by Mr. Albert
‘Mansbridge, who visited Bryn Mawr last
week, began with only he-and his wife as
members and a fund of half a crown, which
she contributed after electing ,him secre-
tary,. it, now has hundreds of classes. over
the entire British Empire @nd has raised
the ‘standard of education over the wo/ld,

Mr. Mansbridge, the originator of this
great movement, is the son.of an English
carpenter, a self-educated man, who sup-
ports’ himself by a small business. For
twelve years he promoted..the work of

_ adult edu@ation in England and. then
»went to Australia in 1915 where he mét
with enormous success; since coming
back from Australia he has devoted him-
self to starting seaman’s classes and te
organizing a_world- wide association. It
‘is in the interests of such an association
‘that Mr. Mansbridge is now in America,
where he came particularly to give four
lectures under the Lowell lecture course
at Cambridge. Mr. Mansbridge is much
interested in women’s education and is
himself on the governing board of St.
Hilda’s College, a woman’s college at
Oxford. This interest in woman’s educa-
tion, especially of the lower classes,
brought Mr. Mansbridge to Bryn Mawr
which. has experimented in this line with
its Summer School of last year.

* The history of the association was told
by Mr. Mansbridge at an informal tea
at Dean Smith’s on Wednesday afternoon.
“The moral,” he said, “must come first
- so that there will be no danger of miss-
ing it; it is that the strength of the
movement is due to its high ideal—educa-
tion for the development of the indi-
vidual, because it is a law of human life.”
“The story is possible only because +a
chance combination of working men and
scholars recognized how advantageous
the union was to both and determined
to. make ita matter of organization
rather than chance. . The union is before
all else, non-political, non-sectarian arfd
absolutely democratic.”

Mr. Mansbridge illustrated the method
of organization by the story of one town,
Rochsdale. In Rochsdale-a branch was
opened and in a very little time 130
bodies were formed,*each with a repre-
sentative on ‘a council meeting in* one
centre. The Carter and Lorrymei’s
class was a representative one; the-aver-
age attendance was 120, they voted to
study the horse, and “the horses in
Rochsdale have had a good time ever
since.” Rochsdale soon availed itself of
the University Extension lectures and
took courses of six lectures in» Dante,
economics and the stars; and though
pledged to study only two or three years,
went on for four. Then Longton heard
and wanted classes too; here they went



on for seven years and’ thesjnterest in
all the neighboring villages was aroused
until, thirty-seven of* them ‘joined.

The power of thé classes, Mr. Mans-
bridge said, lies. in four things: “No
one joins who is in doubt'as to whether
he wants to ‘study or not, ‘the teacher

appears to’ vanish as soen as the lecture’

is. started, an equal time‘is spent in dis-
cussing.:and -in lecturing, there are no
rewards either in the shape of certificates
or otherwise.”

The subjects that are chosen by, the
working people were well shown in three
stories, Mr, Mansbridge told — of the
charwomen who wanted to study history,
the dock laborers who voted dor indus-
trial history and asked that their wives
might have a.class too, and the country
village which asked to learn shorthand.

The association is financed by grants
from the boafds of education and by stu-
dent fees, which are made so low that all
can afford to join, but what the associa-
tion wants“is“‘a kindly word, for it is
after all, spirit that matters!”

-In his speech in the evening, to the
town meeting of the employees of the
College, Mr. Mansbridge gave a more
vivid illustration yet of how such branches
are fogmed by establishing one at Bryn
Mawr, which some sixty-five of the
people present signed up to join.

Mr. Mansbridge began his address to
the meeting by saying that. it was the
most unique meeting he had ever seen.
He went on to impress the audience with
their own importance for “Anyone who
is doing a useful. thing with as much
skill as he can, can stand with: the great-
est-in the earth. People that are help-
ing other people get education are apt
to get the idea that education is not for
them,: but they should think, ‘everything |
here is education and I’ll have*as much
as I can,’ for everyone in their own heart
deserves and needs education, though
they do not need to be scholars.”

“Are—you getting the—best—things?
Mr, Mansbridge -asked, “We all have
heads and it is up to us to make the
best use of what is inside of them
Above all things, don’t think you're
clever; you haven’t got to be clever or
to know a lot, but to determine to make
the best of what ‘you’ve got, to go arid
get the best and to keep alive!”

The audience’s response to Mr, Mans-
bridge- was immediate: and enthusiastic
as their enrollment in the new organiza-
tion showed and he ended by wishing
them all suecess and happiness. Cards
are being sent out by the office to all
those who joined to see what specia]
branch of study they would like to take
up. Classes will probably be held in
accordance with this plan for employees
at wark during the summer and wider
operations will be organized in the fall
