segregation of the poor and industrial
classes.
“The time may sail she said in con-
clusion, “when the colleges will demand
a more democratic education. In Den-
mark 90 per cent of the population attend
institutions of higher learning and as a
result of the increased efficiency and de-
mocracy there is practically no poverty”.
Miss Baldwin took dinner with the cab-
inet of the College Settlement Chapter.
She has been visiting different colleges
with the exhibit and took it to the Bald-
win school on Thursday, where all the
boarding schools in Bryn Mawr will see
it. She said that the interest among the
Bryn Mawr students this year was most
encouraging.
130 XMAS STOCKINGS FILLED
“Our statistics are a little bit shaky”,
said M. Worch ’18, chairman of Sewing
and Junk Committee of the C. A., “but
as far as I can be sure a record number
of Christmas stockings has been filled
and dolls dressed this year’. 130 stock-
ings have been returned with toys burst-
ing from top and toe, and more are being
given out. 76 dolls are dressed and ready
to send away, and the clamours for more
must go unheeded because the committee
has spent all its money.
There was an exhibition of these stock-
ings and dolls in the gym Monday and
Tuesday.
VALUABLE CHINESE PAINTINGS
ON EXHIBITION IN LIBRARY
The Chinese paintings on exhibition in
the Carola Woerishoffer Room_of the Li-
brary were the gift to the Department of
History of Art of Mrs. Adeline Gibson,
who bought them last summer in China.
Some of them are valuable and all
were chosen to illustrate religious and
legendary themes.
Though some of the copies were prob-
ably made in the 19th century, the best of
them go back to originals of the 13th and
16th centuries. The original of the paint-
ing of the three sages, for instance, with
one of them flying on a stork, probably
dates from the period of Sung. Again,
the painting of the nymph with the hind
and two attendants is characteristic of
early Ming. Just as Western art is dated
by painters, Eastern art is dated by
periods and styles, Sung being 13th and
Ming 16th century, roughly speaking.
Two other Sung copies are the pair
painted on satin. They belong to a set of
eight scrolls, each of which contains two
groups. Each group is made up of a
Lohan (sort of Chinese saint), a symbolic
animal, and two attendants. In the long
horizontal painting called a Makemono,
of ladies in a park, each part of the strip
is a whole composition in itself.
Besides the Chinese paintings there are
a number of curious popular Chinese pic-
tures that belong to the popular religion

SECOND CONFERENCE IN JANUARY |
Miss Jackson Finds B. M.
Coming”
Business positions and the secretary po-
sitions leading up to them will be the}
topics of Miss Jackson’s second voca-
tional conference here on January 12th.
Miss Jackson, who is head of the Appoint- |
ment Bureau of the Women’s Industrial
and Educational Union in Boston, said of
her November visit to Bryn Mawr that |
she had never had as big a first meeting
at any other college.
Miss Jackson thought the Bryhn Mawr
students whom she interviewed “very up
and coming, very independent in view-
point, and not at all shy”. She was in-
terested to find that a smaller number of
them could typewrite than among other
colleges she had interviewed
“Up and)
|°18, chairman of the Sewing and Junk
| Committee,
Isabel Oswald”.
The appended address is vague, but the |
case is being looked into by M. Worch |!
which has charge of the
Christmas work of the Association.
