. MR. NASMYTH DISCUSSES
INTERNATIONAL ent



Advocates World Federation

“We must abolish war by organizing
politically”, said Mr. George W. Nasmyth
‘Saturday night in his speech on Federa-
tion against International Anarchy. Mr.
Nasmyth has travelled extensively in the
belligerent countries and is now closely
connected with the peace movement. He
began by speaking of the philosophy of
force which is predominant at present es-
pecially in Germany, and compared the
present struggle between the countries of
Europe with the struggle between the
thirteen original States of America dur-
ing the critical period from 1783 to 1789.
Just as the quarrels and warfare between
the States were ended by the establish-
ment of a strong central power, Congress
and the Supreme Court, he said, so the
international problems of to-day can be
solved by a process of federation.



Women to Reconstruct Ideas

In this first step to prevent interna-
tional anarchy, says Mr. Nasmyth, Amer-
ica should take the lead. He maintains
that there should be a Supreme Court
of Justice, before which nations must
place their cases before entering into
war. He pointed out that although such
a measure may not avert war, it will at
least delay the issue until the whole na-
tion can decide for itself. ‘We must pre-
cede the reconstruction of society by the
reconstruction of ideas”, he said. He
pointed out that this was a task for the
universities and especially for the women, |
who, not Having played a large part in

_| STUDENT FIRE BRIGADE DRILLS

WITH LADDER AND HOSE

h



Men. Demonstrate Complete Drill i

Three Minutes



The first regular outdoor fire drill: of
the students’ fire fighting brigade was
held on Friday morning with the men

demonstrated the able way in which they
have been drilled by Mr. Tom Foley, tak-
ing the hose-cart and ladder from the
shed behind Merion and running with it

ladder was raised to’ the roof, the hose
unrolled from the cart and fastened to
the hydrant, and the men then carried the
hose up the ladder, making it possible to
have a stream of water on the roof in less
than three minutes from the time they
left Merion. The apparatus was brought
back to Merion and the students repeated
the men’s performance though they had
to be helped. After a few more drills it
is hoped that they will be able to get a
line of hose to any building as promptly
and as efficiently as the men.

ALUMNA NOTES
The annual meeting of the Alumne As-
sociation will be held in the Chapel on |
next Saturday, January 29th, at 11.00 |
o'clock. The new business which is on
the program is a discussion of the me-
morial to Miss Garrett. All Seniors and

spring are invited to attend the meeting. |
A letter to the “Public Ledger” men-
tioning the uniqueness of the Bryn Mawr



public affairs up to the present day, have
sounder traditions on which to build so- |
ciety.

Federation to Bring Higher Patriotism

Mr. Nasmyth spoke of the great pa-
triotism shown in the war, but he em- |
phasized a higher patriotism which has |
been kept from developing by inter- |
national anarchy, a patriotism not only |
for one’s country, but for the whole world |
community. “It is the duty of the com: |
ing generation”, he said, “to construct
these higher ideals. Conditions as they
exist do not allow for a New Testament |
doctrine of love, but merely for an old |
tribal religion with a god of battle and
vengeance”.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN STUDENTS
FILL ORDERS WHILE LEARNING |



Mary Tongue, '13, Takes Course



A course in Commercial Design has |
been established this year at the Mary- |
land Institute of Arts and Design, by Mr. |
Carol M. Sax. The work is divided into
three lines—advertising, costume- design |
and specialization and is done in great |
part to fill actual orders. Mary V.
Tongue, 1913, is taking the course.

Last year, in work done almost entirely
outside of the school, the nucleus of this
present class earned over one thousand
dollars. This year they have already
done better. Miss Tongue says of the
course: “Mr. Sax’s idea seems to be that
work done as a job and not as mere
practise will, and must be, up to a pro-
fessional standard; that working so, the
student graduates an experienced work-
man with results and experiences that
no amount of mere class room drill could
give, and is able to command a profes-
sional’s wage”.



THERMOMETERS MAY CHANGE



A bill has lately been introduced into
Congress to replace all Fahrenheit ther-
mometers by Centigrade. Several mem-
bers of the Cornell faculty have endorsed
the bill in recent letters to Washington
and agree that the advantages of the
centigrade scale for scientific work make
the change practical
