UTILIZE FEEBLE-MINDED ON FARM

Expert Suggests Colonization to
= “Meet the Present Labor Crisis

The feeble-minded, in such a labor sit-
uation as the present, offer a large supply
of cheap labor easily available at the ex-
pense of a little training, said Mr. Alexan-
der Johnson, Field Secretary of the Na-
tional Committee on the provision for the
feeble-minded, who spoke before Miss
Kingsbury’s class in social study last
Wednesday.

He went on to explain that the fields
cannot begin to be cultivated to their full
capacity on account of the shortage of
labor. The most successful plan for meet-
ing this emergency, he said, was that of
Mr. George Barnstein of New York, who
establishes colonies of twenty boys on
100 acres of land, which he has them cul-
tivate intensively, allowing them to work
out in their spare time for neighboring
farmers. In this way a large class who
might be a menace to the community are
kept contented and self-supporting and
prevented from leaving behind them an-
other generation like themselves.

To-night Mrs. Raymond Robins, Na-
tional President of the Women’s Trade
League, will talk on the protection and
advancement of woman in industrial pur-
suits.



CAMPUS NOTES



Dr. Crenshaw has advised all those tak-
ing the Minor Chemistry course who wish
to use their knowledge of chemistry in a
preparedness course to learn stenography.
He said that already positions were open
in munition factories for stenographers
who know something about chemistry.

Dr. Savage read from the Western
verse of Henry Herbert Knibbs at the
English Club tea last /Wednesday, intro-
ducing the selections/ with a preface by
himself, in which he urged that the pur-
suit of the modern be carried on with dis-
crimination.

The sophomores have voted to give up
their class banquet and have a picnic to
which everyone brings her own supper.
The money saved will be devoted to War
Relief.

1920 will have a reception in Rockefel-
ler Hall with speeches and stunts instead
of a class supper. Alice Harrison has
been elected as toastmistress.

Professor Benjamin Le Roy Miller, who
is to give an illustrated lecture in Taylor
on Friday evening, is Professor of Geology
at Lehigh University. Dr. Miller was
Associate in Geology at Bryn Mawr from
1903-07.

Hilda Raetzmann, Fellow in German,
has won a German Fellowship at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.

By a recent decision of the Self-Gov-
ernment Board graduates who are not yet
twenty-five may act as chaperons to the
Bryn Mawr movies.

“Dream Life”, a poem by Mary Senior
ex-’'18, has been published in the North
American Review for March.

Dr. Ferree read a paper on “Lighting in
Relation to the Eye”, before the American
Philosophical Society for Promoting Use-
ful Information, last week.

WOMEN IN EXECUTIVE POSITIONS

ences held in Taylor last Friday Miss
Florence Jackson, of the Boston Bureau

and keep happy the workers under her, a
firm belief in the policy of her firm, and
a thorough knowledge of her own job and
of those of her assistants.
