DR. DAVIS TELLS OF WORK
ON PAROLE COMMISSION



Opportunity for Preventive Work in
Lower School Grades



WOMAN CRIMINAL A PROBLEM



Dr. Katherine Bement Davis, Chairman
of the Parole Commission of New York
City and for many years Superintendent
of the New York State Reformatory for
Women at Bedford Hills, addressing Miss
Kingsbury’s Social Study Class Saturday
night on the problem of the woman crim-
inal, made the startling announcement
that she had never found college women
in prison.

No College Women in Prison

“In all my experience I have never come
across a college woman in prison”, Dr.
Davis declared. Most of the women have
never been above the elementary school
grades. Some are so ignorant they do not
even know a war is going on. Very few
are ever skilled workers. The per cent
of delinquents is greatest among Ameri-
can born children of foreign parents, who
look down upon their mother and home
as un-American. “I knew I mustn’t steal
in Russia, but I thought this was a free
country”, one girl explained.

Her appeal was for sympathetic teach-
ers, to ylo preventive work in the lower
grades of the public schools; and for more
widespread industrial training, to enable
girls to earn honestly such material com-
forts as they may crave.

One-third May Be Reformed

Excluding those mentally deficient, Dr.
Davis believes that with careful super-
vision one-third of the women brought in
can be permanently reformed and another
third at least noticeably improved.

The Parole Commission, which Dr. Da-
vis created and of which she is the
present chairman, watches each case and
decides when a prisoner is ready to go on
parole. To secure its highest efficiency
Dr. Davis is now working for an indefi-
nite sentence to replace the present maxi-
mum one of three years.



MR. G. B. BARR WILL
HEAD B. M. BELGIAN
RELIEF COMMITTEE

ACCEPTS HONORARY CHAIRMANSHIP





Mr. George Barr Baker, head of the Spe-
cial Appeals Committee of the Commis-
sion for Relief in Belgium, who spoke
here in February, has consented to be-
come the honorary chairman of the Bryn
Mawr Committee for Belgian Relief. His
letter to the chairman, E. Granger ’17,
reads:

“My dear Miss Granger:

Your letter of March 27th has just been
handed to me on my return from a short
trip to Illinois.

I am afraid you are conferring upon me
an honor to which I am not entitled. I
happen to be merely the instrument or
means of bringing to you a few facts con-
cerning the great work in which we are
laboring. However, I shall be delighted
to accept the honorary chairmanship of
the Bryn Mawr committee, a committee
in which all of us are unusually inter-
ested.

I feel very grateful to you personally
for this honor and wish you would convey
to the members of the committee my deep
appreciation.

Sincerely yours,
George Barr Baker’,

EMINENT SCIENTIST
DESCRIBES PLANT GROWTH



Regeneration, Not a Feeling for Form



NEW THEORIES DISCLOSED

Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the Rockefeller
Institute, “the man of the fatherless frog”,
spoke in Taylor on Saturday night on the
regeneration of plants. His lecture was
illustrated with slides made from draw-
ings and with specimens of the plants
discussed, which were passed around the
audience in watch-glasses.

One of the interesting points brought
up in the course of the speech was that
regeneration is not a feeling for form or
Morphesthesia. It has been a mystery in
the healing of a wound why the cells
should stop their rebuilding of tissue at a
certain point, and this was explained as
recently as twenty years ago as a feeling
for symmetry and form in the cells. If
the horizontal branches of the top of a
pine tree are cut off, the new branches
grow up vertically and this was thought
to be due to an appropriate tendency on
the part of the cells to correct the sym-
metry of the top of the tree.

Bermuda Life Plant Used as Experiment

Dr. Loeb explained the interesting
growth of the so-called Bermuda life-
plant, or Bryophyllum, a creeping plant
with notched leaves. He told how, out
of the notches in these leaves, sprang new
stems and roots, forming another genera-
tion. The most curious thing about this
regeneration, however, is that there is
more growth of the new roots if the
parent leaf is not attached to its stem.
The stem seems to take the nutriment

Stay at Studies Till June
Advises President Lowell
President Lowell of Harvard, ad-
dressing a meeting of 700 law stu-
dents, told them they would show the
truest patriotism by staying at their
studies till June. As it is, he said,
many are rushing into preparedness
work as if it were a football game.







PREPAREDNESS COURSES
NOW IN FULL SWING

Work Arranged Over Vacation and
Started Monday

The preparedness classes planned by
the Undergraduate Association commit-
tee under the chairmanship of E. Hough-
ton ’18, began Monday. Most of the
courses proposed and accepted at the
meeting of the Association the Tuesday
before vacation are now in full swing.
The course in farming is still under in-
vestigation and will be given if possible.
A course in typewriting is also being ar-
ranged.

The schedule of classes is:

Accounting and Bookkeeping: Mr.
Hurst—Room A, 8.00-9.00 a. m. every day.

Emergency Aid: Miss Kingsbury—
Room H, Mon., Wed., and Thurs., 7.45-
8.45 a. m,

Business Methods: Mrs. Smith—Room
C, Mon. and Wed., 7.45-8.45 a. m.

Colloquial French: Dean Schenck and
Miss Thayer—Room E, Tues. and Fri.,
7.45-8.45 a. m.

Motor Repairing: Spring Garden Street
Institute, Philadelphia, Tues. and Wed.,
8.30-5.00 p. m., and Sat., 10.00-12.00 a. m.

Home Care of the Sick: Members will
be notified as to time and place.

Ninety students attended the first ses-
sion of the three preparedness courses
that met on Monday.

Dr. Marion Parris Smith began her
course, which will be divided into five
different topics, by taking up accounting
and explaining the debit and credit sys-
tem. Dr. Kingsbury said that the prob-
lems that would have to be met would be
the result of military movements, indus-
trial changes and disaster. She outlined
the work and suggested trips to factories
and charity administration offices to see
the changes and the efforts to meet them.

Mr. Hurst’s class also held its first
meeting.

C. A. ELECT M. BACON PRESIDENT

FORMER TREASURER IN FIRST OFFICE











M. Bacon ’18 was elected president of
the Christian Association for the year
1917-18, at a meeting on April 3d. An en-
thusiastic vote of thanks was given to
N. McFaden, the retiring officer. M.
Stair 18 was elected vice-president; BE.
Biddle ’19, treasurer, and M. Hardy ’20,
secretary.

Miss Bacon has for the past year been
treasurer of the Association and chairman
of the Finance Committee, and was head
of the Wednesday Evenings Committee
before that. Miss Bacon instituted the
change in the constitution, accomplished
in 1915-16, by which the members of the
board were to be elected from the differ-
ent classes instead of being appointed by
the president as formerly. Miss Stair
has been chairman of the Membership
Committee during the past year, and Miss
Biddle was this year secretary of the As-
sociation and Assistant Treasurer the
second semester of last year. Miss Hardy
was this year’s asistant treasurer.





“PREPARE” IN
OWN WORK

Canteens and Day Nurseries
Described

Industrial Service Registered



That each woman should train herself
very intensively for the one line of war
service for which she is best fitted, Miss
Simpson, the organizer of college work
of the National League for Women’s
Service, emphasized in speaking Monday
afternoon in Taylor on preparedness lines
now open to college students. Mrs. Lewis
Martin, chairman of the Bureau for Reg-
istration and Information of the League,
speaking after Miss Simpson, urged that
all students who come from Pennsylvania
should send in their names as ready for
industrial service, since Pennsylvania
will be the first State in which the women
will be fully organized.

“Pull up your petunias and roses and
plant beans and potatoes”, said Miss
Simpson, “for one thing almost everyone
can do is to join in the crusade for agri-
cultural conservation”. Women will be
more efficient if they stick to the job at

hand, Miss Simpson went on, whether it’s
a farm or only a back yard, or a motor
car. If a girl has the opportunity of
keeping house this summer she can even
be patriotic there by buying intelligently
and economically.

New Lines of Preparedness Suggested

Social and welfare work were two kinds
of service outlined by Miss Simpson,
which come as new suggestions to most.
Suppose a mobilization camp is pitched
at the edge of one’s town, then with hun-
dreds of men having nothing to do in
their recreation hours, new social condi-
tions arise, and women can be of the ut-
most good in organizing “recreation
groups”. The same plan applies, Miss
Simpson said, to towns where munitions
factories will be started, bringing with
them hundreds of girl employees who will
need the help of organization which col-
lege students will know how to supply.
Day Nurseries, relieving the soldiers’
wives of the care of their children and
leaving them free to earn a living, will
be a very valuable kind of war service.

Canteen work is of two sorts, explained
Miss Simpson, that for the troops and in-
dustrial work for the factory hands. In
towns where the great munitions plants
are established women will be called on
to provide “lunch counters” for the work-
ers.

Every kind of job at the “industrial
front” may be obtained through the Bu-
reau of Registration and Information in
Philadelphia, Mrs. Martin explained. Al-
ready more than 150 women have, from
patriotic reasons, sought and secured work
at the Arsenal, she said, where uniforms,
bed clothes and all sorts of equipment for
the troops is being manufactured. Any-
one living in Pennsylvania was urged to
send in her name and summer address to
Mrs. John C. Groom, 1426 Walnut Street,
to register for industrial service, which
would range in variety from sitting in an
office and registering other applicants to
hunting out boarding houses for factory
girls arriving for munitions factories and
meeting the girls at the station.

Woman's Place Is in the Field



On reading the letter printed in the
next column, the editor had a thought or
rather a vision of the future. Why not
raise potatoes (or onions) all over the
campus if necessary? Such an act of
sacrifice on our part would have a three-
fold advantage. It would start a prece-
dent by which eventually all colleges
would be self-supporting, it would tend to
lower the general price of potatoes, and
it would afford excellent opportunities
for the students to get some practical
training in farming.

Those who heard Miss Simpson, of the
National League for Women’s Service,
speak on Monday will realize how im-
mensely important agriculture is becom-
ing as a field for women especially at
present. As yet there is no course in that
subject among the preparedness courses
now going on at college, although the
practicability of such a course is now
under consideration. The question ought
to be how best we can take such a course,
and not do we want it. Even the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Washington has
gone so far as to recommend the planting
of food instead of flowers. There is a
good deal of land belonging to the college
which could be used for this purpose, and
if necessary the lower campus, and the
village might take over the work during
the summer.

A rather facetious suggestion has been
made that the seniors start the good work
by planting a neat patch of onions in
place of the traditional class tree.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(The editors do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)

To the Editor of the ‘College News”:

The pride of Bryn Mawr is liberty of
thought and speech for all. The great
legacy of the Quaker foundation is postu-
late, not merely conventional but active,
that the spirit which moves men’s minds
to truth, imposes respect for the truth
that those minds see. It would be a pity if
the College News, like most of the daily
papers, came to speak of a pacifist as of a
forger or a leper, of pacifism as equiva-
lent to—where shall I find a parallel,
since working socialism, and philosoph-
ical anarchism have always had fair play
on the campus? I am a pacifist: there
are others here. At this tragic moment,
when such must feel that these United
States have lost the greatest chance there
ever was, to move the whole world a step
ahead, to help bring nearer the Kingdom
of God, it would be seemlier, it would be
more in keeping with the unbroken tradi-
tion of the place to hand still to pacifism
the respect denied to nothing else.

G. G. King.
April 4, 1917.

To the Editor of the “College News”:
The great call for women war workers
in England has been for farmers. Would
it not be better to train farmers at Bryn
Mawr than wireless operators, ambulance
drivers or bankers? Not only would
farming prepare workers in case of a pro-
longed war, but it would have definite re-
sults in a few months, for instead of us-
ing the potatoes, for instance, which
might be sent to the Allies, Bryn Mawr
could grow her own.

There are 5 acres on the campus be-
tween the Deanery and Penygroes which
have formerly been used for hay and
which could now be recultivated. It is es-
timated that the field would yield 500
bushels in October if planted this May.
The college buys approximately 1000
bushels a year.

Mr. Chandler, Superintendent of the
Buildings and Grounds, says that he con-
siders this a practical plan and that he
would be glad to help carry it out. He
also suggests that a crop of winter wheat
be planted next October.

Columbia University has given part of
its athletic field to St. Luke’s Hospital
to be used for the erection of temporary
extensions if needed. Bryn Mawr can
also give a part of her campus to the
service of the country and give it imme-
diately.

H. K. 14 and I. F. 15.



To the Editor of the “College News”:
The “young enthusiasts” of the Audit-
ing Committee are duly grateful to the
News for its solicitude on their behalf.
As the News suggested, they are feeling
the heat a trifle—but not excessively,
thank you! The Auditing Committee
thinks that since they were appointed by
the Undergraduate Association to audit
the accounts of the college, it is their
business to do it, no matter how hot it
gets. If the News thinks otherwise we
only refer them to the Undergraduate
Association.
“Young Hopeful” and “Old Faithful’.



To the Editor of the “College News”:

At the risk of intruding on forbidden
ground, I should like to raise the question,
What has become of the Philosophy Club?
Is it withering before our eyes like a ver-
itable Tithonus, or is a strictly nominal
existence its normal state? One would
think an atmosphere of concentrated in-
tellectuality such as is found at college
the one of all others in which a Philoso-
phy Club should flourish. Why, then,
does the Bryn Mawr organization, with
all its prestige of select membership and
distinguished president, still play so little
part in the college life? If its proceed-
ings are too esoteric to bear the light of
publicity, it would be a crumb of satis-
faction to the undergraduate mind merely
to be assured that activity of some kind
exists. For it is rumored that the Phil-
osophy Club is in such an advanced state
of decline that it fails to pay its lawful
debts, and that a former officer is at this
moment out $14.00 which she advanced to
make up the club deficit.

Uninitiated.











To the Editors of the “College News”:

New enthusiasm ought to be put into
the social service interests of the under-
graduates with the change in the duties
of the Social Service Committee and the
readjusting of the connection with the
College Settlement Association. Al-
though the plan has not yet been ap-
proved by the College Settlement Asso-
ciation it is probable that it will be satis-
factory to them.

The duties of the committee—to ar-
range for volunteer work, to promote
study and discussion, to keep up the con-
nection with other colleges, other organi-
zations and the College Settlement Asso-
ciation, and to raise money, are broader
than .ever before. This arrangement
gives our interest in the College Settle-
ment a clearly defined connection with
one of the most active college associa-
tions. The connection is specific and yet
adjustable to the varying situations of dif-
ferent years.

It is thought advisable that the execu-
tives of the committee shall organize a
larger committee of those working and in-
terested who will arrange for the volun-
teer work and social siudy classes. Any
one will be eligible to this committee,
which will serve as the C. S. A. Chapter.

Now that our vagueness and experi-
mentation about the College Settlement
Chapter is over, we can partake more
fully in its work and in its help in educa-
tion and experience. The plan is an ex-
cellent one; it means a firmer basis for
the College Settlement interest in college
and wider contracts for the Christian As-
sociation. It is for us now, more than
ever, to understand and to help in the

BASKET-BALL CAPTAINS ADOPT
SPALDING’S NEW UNIFORM RULES



Expected to Induce Cleaner Play



In a captains’ and managers’ basket-ball
meeting last Friday Spalding’s new 1917
men’s rules were read, discussed, and
adopted. As a result the Friday basket-
ball practise, though attended with some
confusion on the lower teams as to just
what the new rules permitted, was notice-
ably cleaner and more open.

Bryn Mawr has always used men’s
rules, but previous to the present it
played under those of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union of the United States. The
new rules are a combination of the Ama-
teur Athletic Union, the National Colle-
giate Athletic Association, and the Young
Men’s Christian Association. This is the
second year of uniform rules in the
basket-ball world.

An abbreviated version of the new rules
and an account of the important changes
follows:

Playing Terms

1. A goal is made when the ball enters
the basket from above.

2. Out of Bounds—A player is out of
bounds when any part of his body
touches the boundary line or the floor out-
side of the boundary line. The ball is out
of bounds when it touches the boundary

92 per cent, the highest in college, and

On Saturday, April 7th, Yale played

last race until after the war. The

letic schedules have been cancelled
also.



ee
line, the floor outside the boundary line,

or when it is touched by a player who is
out of bounds. (Formerly out of bounds
was not declared when a ball or player
touched the boundary line.)

3. Held Ball is declared when two op-
posing players of opposing sides have one
or both hands on the ball, or when one
closely guarded player is withholding the
ball from play. (The provision as to the
“closely guarded player” is new and will
prevent one frequent cause of delaying
the game.)

4, Running with the Ball is progressing
more than one step in any direction while
retaining possession of the ball. (For-
merly a player catching the ball on the
run was allowed two steps, but a player
catching the ball standing still could only
take one foot off the ground. Now one

step may be taken in either case.)

5. Holding is personal contact with an
opponent that interferes with the oppo-
nent’s freedom of movement.

6. Blocking is impeding the progress of
an opponent who has not the ball.

New Division of Fouls

7. Personal Foul is holding, blocking,
tripping, pushing, charging, or committing
any other form of unnecessary roughness.

8. Technical Foul is any foul not in-
volving personal contact.

9. Disqualifying Foul is rough play for
which a player is removed from the game.

Fouls and Penalties will be found on
page 5.

(Formerly the fouls were divided into
general and rough, and disqualification
was not so likely to occur as it was harder
to tell rough fouls than personal ones.
There is no longer any rule against shoot-
ing from a dribble or against using two
hands twice on a dribble. More than two
players from opposite sides may now
touch the ball provided their persons do
not come in contact. If there is a per-
sonal contact a personal foul is called.)

Increased Popularity of Game

Seventy-seven per cent of those who re-
plied to questionaires declared that the
game had increased in popularity last sea-
son. “The general trend towards cleaner
athletics”, according to Spalding’s Official
Basket-ball Guide, “better Officiating, bet-
ter rules, clearer understanding of the
rules, and the personal foul rule were the
leading reasons given for the change”.
54 per cent reported a decrease in rough-
ness, 11 per cent an increase, and 35 per
cent noticed no marked trend in either
direction.

MUSICAL AUTHORITY TO TALK

Mr. Thomas Whitney Surette will speak

Eminent Scientist
Describes Plant Life
(Continued from Page 1)
from the leaves, and so make them inca-
pable of sprouting. The reason for the
relative positions of the new stems and
roots, he explained, is that the two arise
from two different sorts of sap within the
leaf, and that the heavier sap, running at
the bottom of the leaf, forms the roots,
and the lighter the new stems.

The theory was formulated by Dr. Loeb
that the stem exerts an inhibiting effect
on the shoots of the leaf as it draws off
the sap. The leaf with the short stem
sends off more shoots than the leaf with
the long stem.

Dr. Loeb, who is now working at the
Rockefeller Institute, is especially inter-
ested in generation from unfertilized eggs
and has succeeded, according to his re-
ports, in stimulating the growth of an un-
fertilized frog’s egg by pricks with a
needle. He taught at Bryn Mawr several
years ago, having been called from Switz-
erland. The Science Club and its guests
met Dr. Loeb after the lecture at a re-
ception in Rockefeller Hall.
