ALL BUT TWO PASS THIRD ORAL
Slightly Betters Last Year's Record
Ten of the twelve Seniors, or 83 per
cent, taking the third French oral last
Saturday passed. This betters last year’s
record, when only 80 per cent passed.
Professor Beck said after the oral that
even the two who had failed showed con-
siderable knowledge of French. S
Those who passed were: L. Collins, B.
Granger, M. Halle, M. Hoff, E. Johnson,
K. Jopling, V. Litchfield, M. Thompson, C.
Westling, and M. Worley.
The examiners this Saturday in the
third German oral will be President
Thomas, Dr. Jessen and Mrs. Wright.
HOW YOU MAY KNOW
A GREAT ARTIST
Social Worker Likely to Find Anything,
Says Dr. Jane Robbins
Settlement work among the immi-
grants, as unfolded by Dr. Jane Robbins
Saturday night in Taylor, has the double
fascination of adventure and conquest.
The social worker may at any moment
discover an incipient Italian artist by a
drawing on the window shade, or may
“knock down giant wrongs with a little
pebble” by pointing out abuses in fac-
tories to an inspector. Dr. Robbins spoke
in connection with Dr. Kingsbury’s class
on social work.
The social worker, Dr. Robbins pointed
out, always has the advantage of first
hand information. This she accomplishes
mainly by her ability to play games, for
it is only by winning the confidence of
the girls that she learns the conditions
she is to better. If she takes sides with
the employers she may do a great work
in bringing them up to date. Many of
them, Dr. Robbins pronounced, are no
farther along than .1823. If she throws
her lot in with the working classes she
may have the honor of being arrested on
the street. Dr. Robbins declared that
girls who have had this experience are a
credit to their college.

Labor’s Sacrifices In England
Major Gordon, who spoke in Chapel
Sunday evening, addressed the Com-
munity Center Friday evening on the
sacrifices demanded by the war. He cited
as an especial example the sacrifice of
the labor unions in England. They have
accepted the principle of diluted labor
and allowed untrained workmen and
women to come into the factories and
work side by side with skilled laborers.
Mme. Huard Praises the Middle West
When Mme. Huard was asked whether
her appeal for money for her hospital had
received a generous response in America,
she replied enthusiastically in the affirm-
ative. “And especially in the Middle
West. Don’t ever let them tell you of
the indifferent Middle West”. She has
lectured as far west as Kansas, but “I
didn’t have to go any farther;
treated me so well”, she said.

up, not, as she supposed, a black leather
jewel box, but an Eastman kodak and to
this mistake are due the pictures which
were thrown on the screen. At times the
enemy were as much as two miles away,
but once she looked down the village
street and saw the German helmets. At
last one day she came to a village where
she saw the French and British weeping
for joy in one another’s arms, and in that
way she heard the news of the victory of
the Marne.
Mme. Huard returned home in the
wake of the victorious army, so close be-
hind that the dead were not yet buried in
the empty land through which they
passed. German occupancy of nine days
had wrecked her villa. The conquerors
must have been gloriously drunk the en-
tire time, for they found 10,000 empty
champagne bottles about the place. Mme.
Huard showed heartrending pictures of
the ruin of a beautiful home, furniture
broken, bottles and glasses always in evi-
dence, pictures cut from their frames.
The filth and vermin were unspeakable,
she said.
Hospital Arranged in Chateau
After the chateau was cleaned the
wounded and the typhoid patients came,
and until a year ago the house was used
as a hospital. Of all the patients only
one died. Last year the Red Cross au-
thorities decided that the chateau was
too far removed from supplies and from
good surgeons so Mme. Huard opened her
town house to 100 wounded soldiers.
Lithographs made by M. Huard, who is
an artist at the front, were sold after the
lecture for the benefit of the hospital.
