GARY SCHOOL SYSTEM DESCRIBED
BY MISS UELAND
Four Hundred at Community Center
House Warming
Miss Ueland’s description of the Gary
school system was the important event of
the Community Center house-warming
last Saturday evening, held in the large
room at the back of the primary school
building on Lancaster Avenue at which
about four hundred people were present.
Miss Ueland is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota and took a master’s de-
gree at Columbia in 1911. She is now
president of Carson College, a college in
the country north of Philadelphia for the
benefit of orphan girls. Dr. Horn, presi-
dent of the Community Center, introduced
her.
“Bryn Mawr is to be congratulated”,
Miss Ueland said, “on the Community
Center, which is a good start in working
out the problem of lessening school ex-
penditures and increasing opportunities.
By the use of the schools by the com-
munity in general it should become a
place”, she said, “for clubs to meet, for
discussion of civic problems, for library
facilities and for recreation.
Maximum Efficiency with Minimum
Expense
“In Gary”, she said, “more grown peo-
ple go to school than children. One-third
of the population uses the school plant.
This ten-year-old town, planned and built
by men from its steel mills, on the
swamps of eastern Indiana, has given its
population, through its schools, shops .to
train the children in trades, domestic sci-
ence kitchens, well-equipped playgrounds,
auditorium, swimming pool and other sig-

MRS. POOLEY '99 PLEADS FOR AID
FOR BELGIUM RELIEF
Tells of Conditions in Belgium
Mrs. Thomas E. Pooley (Jane Rosalie
Morice '99) spoke in Chapel last Thurs-
day on relief work and the necessity for
it in Belgium. This appeal is to the rank
and file, to everybody, she said, as the
very rich have given liberally.
Mrs. Pooley had just come from Canada,
from saying good-bye to her husband’s
regiment, and she told of a conversation
with a British officer, one of the three re-
maining from the Princess Pat’s regiment
after the attack at Ypres, where the Ger-
mans first used gas, and where his regi-
ment, which had gone out 10,000 strong,
came back 160. She had said to him that
she tried to be lenient and he said to her,
“Mrs. Pooley, how can you be lenient’?
; “And he told me things I cannot
repeat’, she said.
Mrs. Pooley’s work is primarily for the
feeding of the children of Belgium. Tues-
day was set aside as Belgium Self-Sacri-
fice Day throughout the city and at the
Allied Bazaar at Horticultural Hall, and
everybody was asked to give ten cents.
This will feed a Belgian baby for one day.
She concluded by asking each student to
give that much each month.
DR. MUTCH TO LEAD CLASS
Prominent Social Workers Listed
A class led by Dr. Andrew Mutch of
the Presbyterian Church in Bryn Mawr,
talks by other prominent ministers and
classes addressed by eminent social
workers are among the plans finally com-
pleted by the Bible and Mission Study
Committee of the Christian Association
with D. Chambers’19-as- chairman:
This evening Dr. J. V. Moldenhauer,
of Albany, New York, will speak on
“How to Appreciate the Old Testament”,
and in January, Bishop Rhinelander will
speak. Dr. Mutch’s class on the life of
Christ in the second semester will begin
on February 7th, and will meet once a
week, and Ryu Sato 17 will lead a class
at the same time on missions in Japan.
Starting March 7th, Miss Agnes Tierney
will lead a series of four classes on “The
Philosophy of Religions” and from March
7th to April 25th, Miss Kingsbury’s class
in social study will meet every Wednes-
day evening. Among the prominent
speakers which Miss Kingsbury hopes to
secure are Miss Katharine B. Davis, for-
mer Commissioner of Correction in N. Y.,
and now head of the N. Y. State Parole
Commission; Mrs. Raymond Robbins,
President of the National Women’s Trade
Union League; Dr. Jane Robins, formerly
head worker in.the Jacob Riis Settle-
ment; and Miss Mary Richmond, head of
the Charity Organization Department of
the Russell Sage Foundation.
TRADITIONAL CAROLS SUNG AGAIN
THIS YEAR
With their class lanterns shining red,
blue, and green against their black gowns,
the choir will make the rounds of the
campus the night before vacation to sing
in the Christmas season with old English
earols. Starting from the Deanery at
eight o'clock they will go to Rockefeller,
Penygroes, Yarrow, Low Buildings, Aber-
nethy’s, Radnor, Merion, Denbigh and
the Infirmary, reaching Pembroke about
MODERN ART A SEARCH FOR LIGHT
Lecture and Slides on Impressionism
“Art is a social expression”, “modern
painting is the outcome of modern so-
ciety”, “the story of impressionism is the
story of a search for light”,—these were
Brinton, art critic and assistant editor of
“Art in America”, in his lecture Friday
night in Taylor on “Manet and Impres-
sionism”. The lecture was followed by
slides showing the work of impressionists
in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, Russia, Hungary, England and
America. Photographs of all the Degas
pictures shown may be found on the walls
of the Library corridor, south wing, sec-
ond floor.
Art, said Mr. Brinton, is the essential
characteristic of human effort and inspi-
ration. In the first stage creation of
beauty is unconscious, it is the “hand-
maid to life’. In the second stage it is
conscious, “an end in itself’, and in the
last and present stage the artist works

BARNARD STARTS PLAN FOR FARM
Barnard College has started a fund for
the establishment of a farm in connec-
tion with the college. This plan is ap-
proved by both graduates and undergrad-
uates and especially indorsed by Dean
Virginia D. Gildersleeve, who sets the
cost at $50,000 at least.
“The idea of having a Barnard farm is
the result of house and camping parties
given by sororities which I have attended
during the last fifteen years”, said Dean
Gildersleeve. “By a farm I mean some
place about an hour away from New
York, where alumnez and undergraduates
may spend their week-ends together. It
would have to be in some place where
there are woods and fields for tramping.
It would likewise have to have tennis
courts and a hockey field and be near
some body of water suitable for swim-
ming and skating”’.
FATHER POWELL TO GIVE CHRIST-
MAS SERVICE
Father F. C. Powell, Superior of the
Order of St. John the Evangelist of Bos-
ton, will preach the sermon next Sunday
at the annual Christmas service. Three
special anthems will be sung by the choir,
“Sleep, Holy Sleep”, with a violin obli-
gato played. by Ruth Levy ‘17; “Holy
Night”, and “Parvum Quando Cerno
Deum”, which has not been sung since
1913. The author of the Latin words of
this last anthem is not known; the music
is by G. W. Chadwick.
The Order of St. John the Evangelist is
a branch of the Cowley Fathers in Eng-
land.

KATE OF OKLAHOMA
THRILLS AUDIENCE
Tells History of Libéral Constitution of
Oklahoma—Victory Brings Child-
Labour Laws —
i
Miss Kate Barhard, otherwise “Kate of
Oklahoma”, for many years Commis-
sioner of Charities and Corrections of Ok-
lahoma, in her address last Wednesday
afternoon, told with contagious enthusi-
asm of her struggles to write model com-
pulsory education and child-labour laws
into the constitution of Oklahoma.
When the Territory of Oklahoma be-
came a State in 1900, Miss Barnard saw
in the new constitution necessary her
chance for legislation for compulsory ed-
ucation and the abolition of child-labour
in the coal mines. Her ignorance as to
conditions in other States and her lack
of money she overcame by persuading the
editor of a local newspaper to present her
with the transportation in which the rail-
way companies paid for their advertising.
In return, Miss Barnard promised to ob-
tain for the paper contributions from
notable writers.
Armed with letters of introduction from
Oklahoma officials to officials of Eastern
cities, Miss Barnard visited the factories
of the Eastern States. In a St. Louis fac-
tory, astounded to see a roomful of un-
tended machines, she slyly dropped her
handkerchief, and on returning for it
found the machines tended by children
who had been packed out of the way at
news of her visit.
The opening wedge in Oklahoma was
the articles that Miss Barnard had ob-
tained for the local paper from Jane Ad-
dams, Edwin Markham, and others, coun-
seling compulsory education laws as so-
lutions for the child-labour problem.
One Hundred and Twenty-seven Stump
; Speeches
Threatening Democrats and Republi-
cans with the support of the rival party,
she obtained the support of both for her
child-labour planks, and made a hundred
and twenty-seven stump speeches for the
introduction of provisions into the con-
stitution. The provisions once in the con-
stitution, Miss Barnard took the stump
again to get the constitution accepted.
President Roosevelt, as he was about to
veto the constitution, received seventeen
hundred letters of appeal for it written at
Miss Barnard’s request by members of
the Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions then at Minneapolis. He signed the
constitution,

Masters of Our Fate
Our eternal cry, “What are we good
for and how much will you pay us”? has
been answered often but never quite satis-
factorily. More suggestions are in order.
It certainly would be a help to have those
under whom we work tell us what we can
do. ‘Those who are past masters in the
subjects in which we are specializing
could doubtless suggest new and inter-
esting opportunities. If the professors
should announce to their classes that they
have the time and the desire to help the
students in the problem of what to do
after college, those doubtful of their fu-
ture studies and of their future work could
profit greatly.
a at the
Food Again
The undergraduates are clamoring for
hall teas, already almost a month late.
The faculty have teas, the graduates have
teas,—every one wants them. It is true
that we have almost enough to eat at
meals, but as an improvement to our dis-
positions a festive occasion once a week
to look forward to is a help to the under-
graduate temper.
The Example of the Gary Schools
Miss Ueland’s talk on the Gary school
system at the Community Center last Sat-
urday night demonstrated the possibility
of combining theoretical knowledge with
practical experience—a condition of edu-
cation much under discussion at present
with the question as to whether schools
should be vocational or not.
In the schools at Gary, regular class
work is so closely combined with prac-
tical work that there is none of the usual
cleavage between the two thought neces-
sary by supporters of vocational training
as opposed the academic or vice versa.
There laboratory work and theoretical
mathematics is supplemented by work in
a machine shop or in testing the city
foods; where cooking, the actual prepar-
ing of the food is taught, dietetics is
taught also so that a college luncheon
where sweet potatoes and white are fre-
quently served together may be avoided
by the housewives of the future.
Settlements Welcome Visitors
According to an announcement at the
College Settlement Association confer-
ence, the head workers at the various
houses in different cities hope to have un-
dergraduates come and inspect their work
during the vacation. In New York, the
settlement house is at Rivington Street,
in Philadelphia at Christian Street, and
in Boston there is Denison House, and a
fourth at Baltimore.

LETTERS To THE EDITOR
themselves
expressed in this column) _
Some persons who saw the performance
of “The Scarecrow” on November 25th
may have noticed that one of the actors
whose name appeared on the programme
role was filled by an understudy. The
principal, after weeks of hard work,
freely yielded up her part because an
emergency seemed to demand the action.
The understudy, through constant atten-
dance at rehearsal, had qualified herself
for another r6éle, but at the last moment
necessity forced her into a part which she
had really played only at the dress re-
hearsal. The loyalty of these two women
deserves my best commendation. And the
foresight shown by the manager of the
play in providing against such emergen-
cies sets an example which other classes
might follow with profit.
Howard J. Savage.
To the Editor of the ‘College News”:
Perhaps those who were present at
Chapel one rainy Sunday not long ago
attributed the painful lack of harmony in
the choir to the damp weather and
rightly, but unfortunately the same
trouble has been noticed on clear nights
as well. In view of the fact that the
Christmas service, with its attendant
carol-singing, is so near at hand, may
we not venture to hope that the choir will
shortly take a much-needed brace and
show a little consideration for time and
tune.
Not A Mute.
To the Editor of the “College News’”’:
Now that water-polo has begun and we
are entering upon the usual season of
colds due to coming home across the
campus on cold nights, overheated and
with wet hair floating in the breeze, I
wish to fly in the face of tradition and
demand that it be abolished. Why tolerate
a sport, which, on account of its strenu-
ousness, is dangerous to the health and
anything but amusing? Water-polo was
introduced at Bryn Mawr by Miss Thomas
at a time when there were few other
sports. Then, perhaps, it filled a need.
Now it has outlived its usefulness. We
have tennis, hockey, basket-ball, track,
and in the winter season, gymnasium
drill, sports to which we enjoy devoting
our energies. Why struggle to keep alive
enthusiasm for a game that only a be-
nighted sense of “duty to the class” or
“It’s awfully mean to leave the captain in
the lurch” induces us to play.
MAIDS’ CLASSES START
Red Cross Work Taken Up
H. Allport '17, the new superintendent of
the Maids’ Sunday School, led the first
meeting last Sunday at four o’clock in the
Chapel. Jane Smith, a former superin-
tendent, spoke on the Community Center.
Songs from the Billy Sunday hymn book
were sung. E. Biddle "19 is choir leader
and A. Landon ’19 is organist. K. Tyler
'19 played the organ last Sunday as sub-|
stitute.
Miss Allport announced plans for the,
Christmas party to be given in the Gym
and arrangements for the night classes
to meet every Wednesday night in Taylor.

“| eitgaate teen Prekeunk ‘Thomas’ Address
Before the Graduate Association, No-
vember 24, 1916, on “The Relation of
Professional Men and Women College
Graduates to Public Affairs”.
There is no trouble whatever in defin-
ing the .duty towards public affairs of
women college graduates who are not at
work at any special job of their own. It
is clear that the occupation—or at least
the avocation—that such college women
will have, is public affairs. At the recent
Pennsylvania State Woman Suffrage Con-
vention on the roll of the 161 women
there, all of whom were active suffrage
‘workers, there was hardly a spinster. The
married women and other women classi-
fied in the census as “without occupa-
tion”, were using their greater freedom
to work for suffrage. All agree that
women without absorbing occupation
ought at the present time to make them-
selves useful and work for the public
good, and the best way for them to begin
to be useful is by informing themselves
of social and civic conditions.
Professional women divide themselves
into two classes, those teaching or in-
tending to teach in schools or colleges
and those who are practicing or studying
law and medicine. First of all, there is
that small and wonderful subdivision of
teachers and students made up of those
women who have a gift for research and
independent scholarly work. These be-
long in a class by themselves. They are
specialized by their wonderful power like
poets, prose writers, musicians, artists,
dancers, or anyone else with unusual and
splendid talent. They ought not to con-
cern themselves with public affairs. It is
their supreme duty to devote themselves
to research and investigation. Every one
of us must feel that there should be many
more geniuses than there are among
women. AS a sex we squander genius. I
have known women endowed with this
marvelous power of research get their
own breakfast in the morning. Think of
a Newton or an Edison taking time to
cook his own breakfast.
But what is the duty toward public af-
fairs of teachers who are not geniuses?
Of course every teacher is a much better
teacher if she is familiar with outside),
affairs and can bring them into relation
with her teaching. She is enormously
helped by keeping in touch with the world
of men and women and bringing to her
pupils a wider vision and a broader out-
look on life. She must read and must
inform herself of the great social and
economic changes and the great reform
movements that we are living through.
Only so will her teaching live. But active
reform work is difficult for teachers for
two reasons. First, a teacher’s task is
such that she is exhausted after the four
or four and a half hours of daily teaching

and after giving the necessary time for
preparation for her work. This does not
mean, however, that you ought not to in-
form yourselves by reading all current
questions and guide your pupils to right
opinions. The other objection to teachers
doing active reform work is that the -
boards of trustees will not like it.
Boards ‘of public education and govern-
ing boards of public and private universi-
ties inevitably object to activities that
arouse hostility. Mr. Gifford Pinchot said
the other night that for a man of his
years he had as choice a collection of ene-
mies as any man that he knew and that
he was proud of it. A teacher or pro-
fessor with such a satisfactory collection
of enemies is not very much in demand.
Then, too, reform work takes so much
time that you cannot do it and still be a
good professor. For example, all that I
am able to do for suffrage is to sit on a
few suffrage committees and give them
advice that I hope is good. I make a few
suffrage speeches each year and that is
all. I could not possibly work in the way
that active women suffragists are work-
ing. So I should say that the relation of
the woman teacher to public affairs is
rather that of a creator of public opinion,
that it is her duty to inform herself on all
the great issues and to bring her influ-
ence, to bear on her pupils and on the
people she comes in contact with. She
herself cannot do much active work. If
she wishes to she had better give up
teaching. She cannot combine the re-
form work and teaching very satisfac-
torily.
I have come to the conclusion that our
Bryn Mawr graduate students are very
much more conservative than our under-
graduates. You seem to me not quite so
closely in touch with modern movements.
I have an idea that our graduate students,
for example, are not alive to the fact that

FIRST WATER POLO PRACTICE
GIVES PROMISE OF CLOSE
COMPETITION
«. 1918 Soe
FRESHMAN MATERIAL LOOKS
STRONG
The first water polo practices, last
week, bringing out good material from
all classes, promise a big fight for the
championship. The Freshmen, though
naturally having much to learn of the
game, show splendid swimmers in K.
Townsend, captain; M. S. Cary, P. Hel-
mar, K. Cauldwell, and M. BE. Weaver.
M. S. Cary should make an extremely fast
center forward. 1918, the title holders,
have lost fourteen people who played polo
last year, but only one, G. Flanagan, from
their first team. -T. Howell, captain and
halfback, looks as good a bet as ever.
The Seniors have their full first team
back this year and will fight a hard battle
in spite of their captain, V. Litchfield’s
saying “they are too old and fat to play”.
1919’s playing was sloppy, but their first
team is all here and according to
BE. Lanier, captain, it is training that they
need.

Jane Smith Manages Football Teams
Among other activities under the care
of the director of the Community Center
is the management for the present at
least of three football teams. Three del-
egations of small boys came to Jane Smith
asking her to be their team manager and
to organize and direct their playing.

FORMER C. A. PRESIDENT SPEAKS
WEDNESDAY EVENING
“You don’t play a game of hockey”, said
Griggs | Josephine Niles ‘14, president of the
Christian Association in 1913-14, in the
Wednesday evening meeting of the C. A.
last week, “by standing around and criti-
cizing”. She then went on to speak of
the individual responsibility of each
member of the Association actively to
support its meeting, budget and commit-
tee work, and especially to create around
her an atmosphere of high ideals and a
sense of the true proportion of things.
KEWPIE APPEARS AT EDGE OF POOL
Two students, valiantly learning to
swim one afternoon not long ago, looked
up gasping from their efforts to find a
small, unclad figure perched on _ the
diving-board, ready to plunge in. Pamela,
with the trained intelligence of the fac-
ulty child, having watched them enter
the dressing-rooms and start to remove
their clothing, “went and did likewise”.
“THE TIMES” HISTORY OF THE WAR.
Valuable Addition to New Book Room
A valuable addition to the New Book = =» —
Room is the ambitious series being pub- .
lished as the war progresses by the “Lon-
don Times”, and entitled “The Times”
History of the War. It has already
reached the eighth volume, which goes
through the spring of 1916, closing with
a chapter on the Western Front at Ver-
dun,
The services of the “Times” corre- ©
spondents in the theatre of war have, of
course, been employed, but the History is
not merely a résumé of “Times” articles.
Special writers, experts in political, mili-
tary, and naval matters have been se-
cured as contributors. The maps, in the
same way, are partly reproduced from the
“Times”, partly drawn especially for the
History. The work is profusely illustrated
and in spite of the inevitably English bias
will undoubtedly approximate the aim
stated as follows in the preface:
“
an account of the great contest now in
progress, which shall be at once popular
and authoritative.
“It is for obvious reasons impossible
that a history of contemporary events,
many of the most important of which are
shrouded in the fog of war, can claim the
fullness of information, and consequently
the stability of judgment, which are with-
in reach of an historian writing many
years after the events have taken place.
But it will be the endeavor of the com-
posers of this history to approximate as
nearly as may be to the historical stand-
ard attainable in ordinary circumstances,
and so far as the conditions allow to pre-
sent a faithful record of the progress of
the struggle which is the subject of their
narrative”.

(Continued from Page 1)
individual craving for coloristic expres-
sion. :
Manet the Precursor
Modern painting, insisted Mr. Brinton,
did not burst full-fledged upon the world.
‘There were hints of it in Watteau, Frago-
nard, Constable, and Corot. Manet, the
“mundane militant Edward Manet who
stepped before us clad in frockcoat and
silk hat”, was to the end a transitional
figure, the precursor of impressionism.
A “fluid ambience”, a “circumambient
luminosity”, and “atmospheric irradia-
tion” were some of the striking phrases
used by Mr. Brinton in describing the re-
sults of the modern quest for light. “For
centuries”, he said, “canvases had been
bathed in brown sauce and blackened by
bitumen. Then the apostles of
light in Europe and America changed
painting from blackened brown to mauve
and violet. A feeling for atmospheric
clarity became a characteristic of the
Glasgow school. Degas watched
light flicker through the windows of his
studio and dance upon the faces of his
ballet girls”.
No Such Thing as Real Color
Psychologists in the audience were
roused to interest when Mr. Brinton ex-
plained that the impressionists were in-
debted for their use of the medium of sun-
light to the optical discoveries of Helm-
holz, Chevreul, and Rood. The realization
that there is no such thing as actual color
in nature brought about the revolution.
Artists found that local color did not ex-
ist, that the “leaf is not green”, nor “the
trunk brown”, but that according to the
time of day the hues are modified. At-
mosphere became the subject of impres-
sionism.
The impressionists’ chief achievement
was the clarification of vision both popu-
lar and professional. ‘We can never re-
vert’’, concluded Mr. Brinton, “‘to the suf-
focating harmonies of their predeces-
sors”.
Extracts from President Thomas’ Address
(Continued from Page 2 (
the world is becoming a socialist state
and that we are headed full for socialism.
The undergraduates see this. It seems to
me that you have not thought it out. You
are absorbed in other things. I am sure
I was just like you when I was your age
and a graduate student like you, but I
think that I made a mistake. We are just
at the beginning of a wholly new world of
thought and feeling. Our governments
are going to be made over to match these
new ideas and we must try to understand
them. In order to do this we should put
aside a few hours every week for modern
reading.
Now passing from teachers to profes-
sional women let us consider women
physicians. Women physicians are by
virtue of their calling in touch with such
modern movements as hygiene, sanita-
tion, correct living, pure food, hospitals,
insane asylums and prisons. Until men
and women physicians are about forty
they do not get a large practice and this
enforced leisure enables them to do the
kind of social work for which they are
specially fitted. Men do a great deal of
this sort of reform work. Men physicians
have also, as you know, been famous for
their culture and literary work and their
wide general reading. The reason women
physicians have not taken the same dis-
tinguished place as men physicians is be-
cause -we have had only women physi-
cians who have had a high school educa-
tion, and we have compared them with
men who have had the best college train-
ing. I should say that a woman physician
because of her calling is dedicated to pub-
THE COLL
terment and better laws. I should say
that teachers are almost the only class of
strain themselves from outside activities.
But we of all other women’ should be in-
formed about them. Our task is to bring
public matters. We are just at that
crisis in our development as a nation, and
I might add at that-crisis in the develop-
ment of the world, where it is especially
important for us to interest and inform
ourselves of such matters. We can do a
great deal just now to help in the social
reconstruction which is coming upon us.

Kate of Oklahoma Thrills Audience
(Continued from Page 1)
The first legislature did not consider
the bill because the members for whom
Miss Barnard had taken the stump in the
election refused their support at the last
moment. “Something had happened to
them”, Miss Barnard nafvely explained.
New Tactics at Second Legislature
With the second legislature Miss Bar-
nard tried new tactics. She introduced
the leader of the Opposition, a bachelor,
to a very pretty girl, the only girl in Okla-
homa with a family tree. They had such
an interesting conversation before the bill
came up that the leader of the Opposition
forgot to do any lobbying, and when the
young lady desired to see the legislature
in session, he sat beside her all during
the discussion. In spite of the paper
wads of the Opposition, he did not speak
against the bill, and to the surprise of all
supported it when the vote was taken.
Miss Barnard stressed the good for-
tune of Oklahoma in taking preventive
legislative measures before her factories
grew up. “Other States have greater dif-
ficulties”, she said, “in introducing meas-
ures, contrary to the interests of existing
factories, into their historic constitu-
tions”.

ONE-FIFTH OF ROOMS CONSIDERED
GOOD”
‘Class in Modern Tame Reports on
Undergraduate Taste
Only twenty per cent of the rooms here
at College were considered good, that is,
King’s class in Modern Painting, the most
advanced undergraduate class in art, in
a report submitted to her just before the
vacation. Forty-two per cent were con-
sidered bad, and thirty-seven indifferent.
In the making of this report, the halls
were divided up among the members of
the class so that every room in each hall
was visited, and the general run of the
rooms was allowed to set the standards of
good, bad and indifferent, the three
classes into which the rooms were di-
vided. The rooms of graduates were not
considered.
“The qualities necessary for a room to
be considered good”, one of the members
of the class said to the “News” reporter,
“were that the room should be thoroughly
livable, that some attempt at an artistic
effect should have been made though not
‘necessarily an ambitious one, and that
the room should show cultivation and
taste in the owner”. The rooms consid-
ered the poorest were where absolutely
no attempt at an artistic effect was made,
some effort, though unsuccessful, being
thought better than none.
Gary School System
Described by Miss Ueland
(Continued from Page 1)
nificant advantages with about half the
expenditure of most towns in the same
circumstances. for ordinary schools.
“Working in shops”, she continued,
means that concrete experience thus
gained helps the children to get hold of
their other studies. By the part system
the children study just as much, but
while half of them are in the class rooms
the other half are learning physics by
studying automobile machinery, or chem-
istry, by testing the town ice cream with
the city chemist, or cooking by preparing
lunch for the whole school. By_ having
everything going on at once, only half the
equipment, space and teaching staff for
each department is needed and thus the
correspondingly doubled”.
Old Schools Not Good Enough
“You may ask, ‘why were not the old
schools good enough’’’, she said, “ ‘with
all study and no play’? ;
“It is because we are living in cities
more than before. Children have no
longer the chance to help their fathers in
the shop, or the garden or the stable, and
thus get experience and play. We must
give it back to them.
“The use of the school by the older peo-
ple of the community does not interfere
with school; it rather binds the interests
of everyone together. The classes plan
meetings for the community, and at night
the older people can have the exclusive
use of the equipment. There, as here in
the community center the people all have
interests and opportunities in common”.
One of the girls’ clubs and some Bryn
Mawr students served refreshments after
the more formal part of the meeting was
over. Miss Hilda Smith ‘10, director of
the Community Center, received. Among
those present were President Thomas,
Mr. and Mrs. Vorhees (Elsa Dennison
