VARSITY PLAY VENTURE—OLD
FAVOURITES AND NEW STARS



Costumes of the Period Secured for
Barrie’s “Admirable Crichton”



Barrie’s “Admirable Crichton”, the first
Varsity play ever given at Bryn Mawr,
will be presented tomorrow and Saturday
evenings in the gymnasium. Alice Har-
rison ’20, in the title rdle, and Lois Kel-
logg ’20, as the heroine, Lady Mary,
make their first appearance at college.
Virginia Kneeland ’18, Lord Loam, played
Beau Brummel last year when 1918 gave
Clyde Fitch’s play of that name as their
Junior-Senior Supper Play; Sarah Taylor
19, Lady Agatha, was the heroine of
1919’s Sophomore play, “The Scarecrow”.

The costuming has been managed with
strict economy. Beautiful dresses, genu-
inely of the period, 1870 to 1880, have
been borrowed for the principal women’s
parts. Only the men’s costumes are
rented, those of the women servants hav-
ing been made by the committee. Old
scenery sets have been repainted and no
new ones bought.

“Crichton”, a Comedy of Character

In “The Admirable Crichton’ the in-
terest lies not so much in situation as in
character. A. Harrison, who managed
1920’s Freshman Show, has in Crichton a
part capable of interesting interpreta-
tion in its presentation of the impene-
trable mask of a butler, and its later rev-
elation of the man of poised command.

The first scene shows Crichton, with
the other servants in the establishment
of Lord Loam, being entertained at an un-
comfortably formal tea to satisfy my
lord’s philosophy of equality. Thence, by
a whim of fortune, various of the charac-
ters are transported to a tropical desert
island, a “state of nature”, where equality
proves even less possible than in London.



NEED FOR WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT
WORK, TOLD BY OFFICIAL



Best Approach to Washington Through
Stenography, Declares Miss Lathrop

The positions open to women in various
departments of the government, were dis-
cussed by Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of
the Children’s Bureau of the Department
of Labor, in Taylor, last Friday night.

“The best approach to government
work in Washington,” said Miss Lathrop,
‘is through the examinations for stenog-
raphy and typewriting, which are held
twice a week at Washington and once a
week in the large cities. No high degree
of skill is required to pass these examina-
tions.

“According to the chief examiner of
the Civil Service Commission, with whom
I talked some time ago, college girls must
be warned that they will have to be hum-
ble, at first, if they wish to apply for
clerkships. But there is a real demand
for people who can take responsibility
and have initiative.”

PURSUED ON SLEDGES BY GERMANS

Susanne Allinson '10 in Stockholm



News of the escape from Russia of Su-
sanne Allinson ’10 (Mrs. Henry Emery),
has come to her friends by cablegram
from Stockholm. Mr. and Mrs. Emery
left Russia last month and went first to
Helsingfors, Finland. From there they
tried to escape to the islands on sledges
and were pursued and overtaken by the
Germans. The men of the party were
sent to Germany to be interned and the
women were allowed to go on to Stock-
holm.

Cablegrams from Mrs. Emery announce
that she is sailing with friends, probably
this month, and that she has had “good
news” from Germany of her husband.
Mr. Emery was in Russia as a representa-
tive of the Guaranty Trust Co. When he
was imprisoned a protest was made to
Germany by the State Department.

ALUMNAE TELL HOW TO GET A
JOB AT WEEK-END MEETING

Enthusiastic Speakers Point Way to
Success in Many Varied Fields



Round table conferences in the fields
of law, medicine, education, and other
vocations, were held last Saturday in the
hall sitting-rooms. Most of the speakers
were alumne, successful in their various
lines of work, secured by the Appoint-
ment Bureau in co-operation with the
Registration Department of the War
Council.

Psychology Applied to War Work

Margaret Free ’15 told of the use of
psychological tests in the army for rating
the men as to their proficiencies in their
various trades. This field may best be
approached through work in the psy-
chology department of some vocational
school, Miss Free said.

The testing of soldiers for suscepti-
bility to shell shock was indicated as a
war opening by Clara Pond ’14, field
worker in the Psychiatric Clinic of Sing
Sing Prison. Lorle Stecher ’12, psychol-
ogist at the Children’s Hospital, Randall’s
Island, New York City, outlined positions
in schools and children’s courts involving
testing for feeble-mindedness.

Educational Theory Important
The importance of educational theory

as a foundation for teaching, was shown |

by Miss Castro, Professor of Education
and Director of the Model School. Susan
Fowler ’95, of the Brearley School, Edith
Hamilton °94, of the Bryn Mawr School,
and Mary Breed ’94, of the Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology, also spoke on
teaching.

EXTENSION OF VACATION CHECKS
EPIDEMIC OF GERMAN MEASLES

Quarantine to Prevent Recurrence



The action of the Faculty, taken at the
recommendation of the Health Depart-
ment, in extending the Easter Vacation
from seven to ten days, gave three cases
of German measles time to develop before
the students’ return to college. One case
has broken out on the campus since the
vacation.

To prevent the recurrence of the epi-
demic the college has been quarantined
against going to the village.



E. BIDDLE, PRESIDENT OF THE
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

M. M. Carey Fills New Position of |

Junior Advisory Member

By a large majority, Elizabeth Biddle
"19 was elected president of the Christian
Association last Thursday evening. Miss
Biddle was treasurer of the Association

ing of the Association the Monday before.

M. Bacon ’18, retiring president, out-
lined, in her report, the work of the As-
sociation during the year, and _ the
changes in organization, which were: the
release of the Belgian Relief and Red
Cross Committees to act as an executive
department under the War Council, the
nomination of officers at a meeting held
previous to the meeting for election, en-
larging the board to include a junior ad-
visory member, and the sending of a dele-
gation to the June Conference at Silver
Bay.

COMPETENT B. M. FARMERS
INVITED TO VERMONT



Alumna Offers Board and Wages

An invitation to ‘any competent farm-
ers in the Bryn Mawr squad” to spend
part of their summer on her farm in Ver-
mont, has come from a Bryn Mawr
alumna, Mrs. William Handy (Dora
Keen ’96). The wages will include “board
and as much more as the workers are
worth’; and the work, running tractors,
gardening, poultry, and other jobs suit-
able for women. Mrs. Handy writes:

“We have a lovely old brick house for
them to live in, the foreman’s wife being
willing to board them there. Our busy
season will begin May ist, and continue
for six months. We are beautifully situ-
ated, ten miles from Woodstock, and we
have as few hot days as anywhere, with
nights nearly always cool, and a river to
bathe in.”

Mrs. Handy asks applicants to write to
her at Beulah Farm, West Hartford, Ver-
mont.



COLLEGE LIBERTY LOAN QUOTA
$20,000

First Rally in Taylor Yesterday

The Bryn Mawr Liberty Loan Ccmmit-
tee will make every effort to get the stu-
dents, Faculty and staff to subscribe the
college quota of $20,000 in Liberty Bonds
and thereby win an Honor Flag. To get
an honor flag, at least ten per cent of the
college must subscribe the quota. The
Liberty Loan Booth will be open every
day next week from 8.30 to 12.30, in the
morning, and from 2 to 3 in the afternoon.

Speeches were made at the first Liberty
Loan Rally in Taylor yesterday afternoon
by Mr. H. L. Whittemore, vice-chairman
of the Main Line Liberty Loan District,
and Captain C. N. Curran, R.N. Captain
Curran was taken prisoner when his ship
was captured by the German sea raider
Moewe and kept in a German prison for
six months. After escaping he served
eleven months in the British trenches
and then was detached for Liberty Loan
work here.

MRS. SMITH OPENS LOAN CAMPAIGN
WITH STIRRING SPEECH
IN CHAPEL



Must Make Sacrifices or Be S!ackers

“If we don’t make sacrifices now, we
shall have to know ourselves slackers all
the rest of our lives,” Dr. Marion Parris
Smith declared, appealing for the Liberty
Loan, Monday morning, in Chapel.

“IT don’t think that as a college we have
waked up as we should,” she said. “We
have not so far given up anything—it
looks mighty like ‘Business as Usual’.
I know we are doing our ‘bit’,
but that bit has got to be bitter.”

The fact of not having finished paying
for the second Liberty Loan does not af-
fect subscribing to this, Mrs. Smith urged.
The third ‘oan runs for a year. When
subscriptions-to the last loan are finally
paid off, eight months will be left to pay
for this one.

The government needs at least four
billion dollars more than it is asking for,
Mrs. Smith stated. This means that the
loan must be greatly oversubscribed.

FIRST LECTURE OF PATRIOTIC
FOOD COURSE THIS AFTERNOON



Food Production Subject of Dr. Huff
_A lecture on “Food Production”, by Dr.
Huff, this afternoon at two o’clock, will
begin the patriotic food course on the
“Physiology of Nutrition’. The course,
which will consist of weekly lectures, fol-
lowed by laboratory demonstration, is
open to the whole college.

Next Thursday, Dr. Henry S. Pratt, of
Haverford, who was on the American
Commission in Belgium under Mr.
Hoover, will speak on “Food Distribu-
tion’, Speakers secured for other weeks
are Dr. Brunel, on “The Chemistry of
Food”, and Miss Baer, of the Home Eco-
nomics Department of Drexel Institute,
on “Feeding the Growing Child’.

The laboratory demonstration will be
prepared by. the class in Major Biology,
which began a special study of nutrition
last Monday.

Election for Head Proctor, Monday

Enlist Now

Farming, like many other forms of war
work, cannot be conveniently postponed
until after Commencement. If no one
volunteered for the planting this spring,
there would be little use for the Bryn
Mawr farmers later on. Since recruits
are as necessary today as they will be in
July, why wait for summer, to take up
the hoe? The world will wag on without
basketball and track. Enlist now in the
land army and help start the college po-
tatoes on their patriotic way.

Spring Slackers

“In the spring a young girl’s fancy”
—perhaps this accounts for the general
slump in college, but it is much more
likely due to mental lethargy. The word
“slacker” has been overworked, but
through necessity. When the presiding
officer has to send out messengers to

_plead with people to come and vote in

Association Elections, when not more
than four or five people work in the Red
Cross room evenings, when people come
to classes at nineteen minutes after the
hour, with too little energy even to
watch the clock, the word “slacker” is
the only one available.

DR. GRAY’S NEW BOOK TRACES
TAKING OVER OF INDUSTRIES





England’s Experience Valuable to U. S.

War Time Control! of Industries, by Dr.

‘Howard Gray, Professor of History, is-a

study of the action of the British Govern-
ment in taking over each of the big in-
dustries, the control of which it has been
compelled to assume. In the concluding
chapter Dr. Gray writes:

“Despite the somewhat different cir-
cumstances under which Great Britain
has often been forced to act, the United
States may, in a general way, learn much
from her. By the prompt taking
over of her railways, the tardy taking
over of her mines, the efficient control of
her munition shops, and the statutory co-
operation of labor, England has brought

great essential industries to a stage of |:

efficieney which America may well be
proud to attain.”

Separate chapters are devoted to the.
Railways, Munitions and Labour, the Coal
Mines, Wool and Woollens, Hides and
Leather, Shipping, Food: Sugar, Meat,
Bread, and Agriculture.

The book is in the New Book Room.

Hector ‘MacQuarrie, author of How to

MR. KING GIVES RULES FOR
SUCCESSFUL AMATEUR ACTING



Emphasizes Control of Movement

Speaking on the qualifications of a
good actor, last Friday morning in
Chapel, Professor Samuel Arthur King,
Non-resident Lecturer in English Diction,
pointed to the standard set by the emi-
nent English critic, William Archer, and
the Paris Conservatoire. ‘An actor,” he
said, “should be taught to consider as an
instrument to be played upon, his limbs,
his voice, and his face.”

His constructive rules were: Learn to
stand still, without twisting or turning;
move with grace, or at least so as to show
that you have control of your limbs;
learn to speak your mother tongue with
absolute purity of diction; have your
voice under control so as to be able to
give adequate expression to any concep-
tion of your imagination; and concentrate
your attention on facial expression.

NEED FOR WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT
WORK, TOLD BY OFFICIAL

(Continued from page 1)

Miss Lathrop spoke of draftsmanship,
in connection with ship architecture, as
one of the newest government openings
for women. Many universities and col-
leges, most of them coeducational, are
now giving short courses in naval archi-
tecture. Women inspectors and so-called
health counsellors for the great munition
manufacturing centres, are also needed.
The Department of Agriculture is calling
for many hundred women with some ex-
perience in home economics and with
college degrees, to act as county agents,
serving the needs of farmers’ wives and
their families and gradually raising the
standard of living in country districts.

About 50 Per Cent College Women

“About one-half the workers on my
own bureau,” continued Miss Lathrop,
“are college graduates. We need most to
develop among college women the power
to be good inspectors, who can see if the
labor laws are enforced and can discover
the best methods of enforcing them.”

Nursing was-_the last branch of govern-
ment work mentioned by Miss Lathrop.
She declared that the government em-
ploys at present seven thousand trained
nurses and wants five thousand more by
the first of June. If the war lasts for an-
other year, thirty thousand more will be
needed.

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE ARMY
By Professor James H. Leuba

Among the many innovations that
have signalized the present war, is
to be numbered the employment of
psychologists in the organization of
the American army. Twenty years
ago very little could have been done
by them; today, the importance of
the preliminary work done in four
camps by professional psychologists
has received recognition in the form
of an order for the extension of that
work to the whole army. This order
demands that every enlisted man and
officer should be given an intelligence
rating and ‘that, in addition, the offi-
cers should be rated for a number of
traits important in the profession of
arms. Among these traits are lead-
ership (self-reliance, initiative, deci-
siveness, tact, ability to command
obedience), character (reliability, loy-
alty, perseverance, cheerfulness, per-
sonal habits, spirit of service and of
helpfulness), intelligence (ease of
learning, accuracy, capacity to apply
knowledge and to grasp and over-
come difficulties).

For the discharge of the first part
of this double task the psychologist
was well prepared. A number of in-
telligence tests and standardized
scales were already in existence and
had been extensively used. In many
juvenile courts, in institutions for de-
linquent boys and girls, in schools for
defectives, and even in regular school
systems, these tests had become an
established part of the routine work.
More recently these tests have been
introduced into the examination of
immigrants, with the result that the
number of aliens deported from the
United States because of feeble-
mindedness increased approximately
350 per cent in 1913, when the tests
were first used, and 570 per cent in
1914,

The purpose of these tests for the
army, is stated thus by Major R. M.
Yerkes; Prefessor of Psychology at
the University of Minnesota:

(1) To aid in segregating and elim-
inating the mentally incompetent;
(2) to classify men according to their
mental capacity; (3) to assist in se-
lecting competent men for responsi-
ble positions.

The intelligence tests in the army
are group-tests, i. e., tests that can
be given to a considerable number of
men at the same time. It was no
surprise to the initiated to learn that
the army officers had come to the
conclusion that the tests had proved
their usefulness.

The second part of the task as-
sumed by the psychologist found him
very far from equally well prepared.
No quick method of determining char-
acter, leadership, and the intellectual
traits mentioned above, has so far
been devised. Nevertheless, here,
also, psychology, in the person of |
Professor Walter D. Scott, proved of
much value to the army command.
Since the psychologist had no avail-
able test and since he did not know
the officers personally, he could not
himself attempt to rank them. His
expert service took the form of care-



fully drawn instructions and direc-
tions designed to give precision and
exactness to the ranking of the offi-
cers by their fellow officers.

“Intelligence” reappears in this
second system of rating because the
mental traits that may properly be
included under “intelligence” are not
all measurable by the various known
tests now in use. These measure
only certain aspects of intellectual
ability; other aspects, such as “ease
of learning’, “capacity to apply
knowledge”, “ability to grasp readily
and to overcome difficulties’, are
still, to a very large extent, outside
the available means of measurement.

It would be an error to think that
the findings of the psychologists de-
termine the disposition that is to be
made of the men in the army and the
promotion of the officers. Every
man and officer fills a “qualification
card”, on which is recorded all use-
ful information about them: the
schools they have attended, their oc-
cupations before joining the army,
their various attainments, their army
records, etc. The intelligence tests ©
and the rating of the special abilities
mentioned above constitute merely
so many items in this comprehensive
record. How much weight is to be
given them in any particular case is,
so far as I know, left to the discre-
tion of the persons responsible.

Psychologists are rendering impor-
tant service in several other direc-
tions. Aviation brings to the fore
several psychological problems. One
of these is the elimination of the
candidates for aviation that are unfit
for that branch of the service. This
demands the determination of the
special physiological, and psycholog-
ical aptitudes required of aviators
and the preparation of tests for
measuring these aptitudes.

Gunnery involves questions that
have been referred to experts in cer-
tain fields of psychology. Fully nine
months ago it was reported that
Chairman Dodge, in charge of this
work, had devised an apparatus for
the measurement of various impor-

‘tant aspects of the naval gunner’s
reaction, and that the apparatus had
been installed for trial on a number
of battleships.

Shell shock, also, presents prob- —
lems, for the solution of which the
assistance of the psychologists has
been requested. Results have al-
ready been secured. For instance, a
method for the re-education of cer-
tain shock paralytics, devised by Dr.
Shepherd I. Franz, is used by the
Military Hospital Commission of
Canada. The mental ‘“reconstruc-
tion” of these patients is another and
a very complex problem now under
consideration.

But, however comforting the thought
of the healing power of science may
be, it should not obscure for us the
stern fact that the ills science can
cure are infinitesimal when com-
pared with the appalling damages in-
flicted upon men and things in the
present ‘scientific’ war.

M. BACON SPEAKS ON PERSONALITY



Vespers Led by Outgoing C. A. President



“Personality, as exemplified by such:
men as General Pershing, is the force
which moves the world,’ said M. Bacon
718, outgoing president of the Christian
Association, at Vespers last Sunday.

“It is only by giving our personalities
daily and hourly that we can carry out
our purpose in life. But the only certain
way for us to have positive personalities
and yet to give them is to study the one
great Example always before us. We
must strive for the union of our person-
ality with that of Christ.”

DARK BLUE BANNER ON GYM
JUNIORS DEFEATED 3 TO 1

1918 Again Wins Water Polo
Championship After Two
Years





The Seniors hung their dark blue ban-
ner on the gymnasium as the water-polo
champions of the year after beating 1919
three to one in the third game of the
finals on the night before vacation,
March 26th.

This is the second time that 1918 has
held the title, for two years ago they de-
feated 1917 in the preliminaries and
1919 in the finals. Five members of that
victorious team played on the winning
team this year: H. Wilson, A. Newlin,
and M. Strauss, of the defense, and T.
Howell and M. O’Connor, halfback and
forward. G. Flanagan, who has left col-
lege, and P. Turle, were the other two
forwards. T. Howell has been captain all
four years. The series between 1917 and
1918 ran through five games in the season
three years ago, there being two tie
games in succession before 1917 won.
The bitter fighting and low score in the
final game of this season kept the spec-
tators’ excitement at fever pitch. The
Seniors scored twice in the first half, T.
Howell and L. T. Smith shooting the
goals. 1919 started the second half with
gritted teeth and E. Lanier ’19 almost im-
mediately put the ball under the goal bar.

Hon



Graduate Student Stresses Slight
Value of Short Nursing Courses



Urges Importance of Mental Hygiene

The slight value of the short courses
in nursing, which have been so popular
for the past year, and the necessity of
keeping up the standard in the nursing
profession and in~ social work, are
pointed out by Miss Clare W. Butler,
graduate student, in an article for the
News, which we quote in part. Miss But-
ler, who is the Robert G. Valentine
Scholar in social economy and social
research, and who is going next year to

the Psychopathic Hospital, Boston, rec- |

ommends especially intensive training in
the branch of social work which she will
take up there, Mental Hygiene.

“The nursing profession of our country
has wisely made every effort to keep up
its standards during the war. The Vas-
sar Training Camp for Nurses is indica-
tive of this spirit. To quote Miss Isabel
Stewart, assistant professor, Department
of Nursing and Health, Teachers’ College,
Columbia University: ‘Our need is for
skilled workers who can be depended
upon for steady, responsible service in
any one of the many departments of
nursing and hospital work—not for vol-
unteers to do a few little routine duties
here and there. The short courses in
nursing, which have been so popular dur-
ing this past year, are of no real help
here’. :

“That the standards of social work
should be maintained during the war is
without question. Every effort should be
made to give as thorough training as pos-
sible to the largest possible numbers.
Our own Carola Woerishoffer Depart-
ment of Social Economy and Social Re-
search, is a distinctly patriotic contribu-
tion as are other places of intensive so-
cial training. This next year
should witness an enormously increased
number of college women taking training
in schools for social work.

“Not the least important branch of so-
cial work at present is that of Mental
Hygiene. Dr. Pearce Bailey, of New
York, says, ‘Physical disease offers fewer
obstacles to a national efficiency than do
defects or disorders of- mentality’. To
quote Dr. Horatio M. Pollock, First Lieu-
tenant, Sanitary Corps, U. S. A.: ‘It is
significant that while the rate of physical
disease and of mortality is steadily de-
clining, the rate of insanity has appar-
ently been mounting upward’.

“We, as college women, should stand
vigorously for the maintenance of stand-
ards in every field, and recruit for our
country as large an army as possible of
thoroughly trained workers.”



ALUMNA TELL. HOW TO GET A JOB
(Continued from page 1)
especially in English History, and Eco-
nomics,” declared Adelaide Neall ’06, as-
sociate editor of the Saturday Evening
Post, who spoke on Journalism. News-
paper experience and stenography are in-

valuable, she said.

Very few offices beside the Saturday
Evening Post employ women on an equal
standing with men, Miss Neall stated,
largely because women are too apt to get
their feelings hurt. “You can’t take your
work too seriously, but don’t take your-
self too seriously,’ was her warning.

The value of daily
paper, preferably a country paper where
there is little specialization, was affirmed
by Carolyn Bulley ex-’14,

Monica O’Shea ’17 spoke on “How to
Get and Live on a Job”. “In written ap-
plications, stick to business,” she urged.
“In personal interviews, be on time and
bring with you samples of things you
have written, such as work for Typ or
the Lantern. Know what you want for a
Salary and stick to it. Then,”
she continued, “sit back look as
though it were settled.”

Prime Requisite of Law, Common Sense
“If you are going to be a lawyer you
must get rid of the Bryn Mawr tendency

to emphasize the sheer destructive side
of things and get down to the practical,
constructive side,” was the professional
advice of Bertha Rembaugh ’97, attorney
and counsellor-at-law. She advised office
training for college graduates rather than
law school. Law is less a profession than
a business requiring ordinary common
sense, Miss Rembaugh asserted. “To the
average family lawyer, court work is as
much an episode as a major operation is
to the average family physician.”

Tells of Demand for Women Doctors

The crying need for women physicians
to fill the places of men drafted for the
Army Medical Corps, was the plea of
Dr, Anna Gibson, practicing physician in
Philadelphia. “Work is waiting to be
done,” she said, ‘and there is no one to
do. it.”

Needs for Social Work Multiplied

The increased need for social work,
owing to the war, was pointed out by
three alumnz speakers and by Mr. Cheny

Pennsylvania Division of the Red Cross.

“No matter how well clothed and fed
the men in the camps are, they will not
be good fighters if they are worried about
conditions at home,” said Mr. Jones.

Wide Range of Bank Positions

The business field was represented by
Mary Ingham ’03, head of the women’s
department of Bonbright & Co., invest-
ment bankers in Philadelphia, who has
built up a clientele of women to whom
she sells securities on commission. Mary
M. W. Taylor ’11 told of openings for
women in banks, ranging from prelimi-
nary routine work paying $15 to $20 a
week, to such positions as head of the
library or record department.
WHAT ENGLAND IS GOING THROUGH,

DESCRIBED BY MR. BLATHWAYT





Tells of War Work of Women



“We don’t say much about the raids in
London, but they are pretty dreadful. It
is very nice when you sit down to dinner
on a moonlight night if you can be sure
that you will get through with at least
your life.” Mr. Raymond Blathwayt,
English author and journalist, indicated
in this way the tension on which English
people are. living, in his address. last
Wednesday in Taylor.

“As to rations, we have only one pound
of meat a week, no butter, no margarine,
and no sugar,” he continued. “But even
if America should drop out, or France or
Italy, we should go on.”

Speaking for his colleague, Miss Eva
Fenton, who was unable to be present,
Mr. Blathwayt declared the women of
Great Britain to be “doing as much to
win this horrible, disgusting war as the
men.” Women are used even in the
police force, he said.

The influence of these employed women
in creating public opinion against slack-
ers, Mr. Blathwayt pronounced incalcula-
ble. In one instance, a munitions girl
complained that a station clerk had been
rude to her, although she had done noth-
ing to provoke him except to ask him,
“Why the hell aren’t you in the army?”

Mr. Blathwayt and Miss Fenton are in.

sion for the Blinded Soldiers’ Children
Fund. Miss Fenton is‘a niece of Lord
Kitchener.

Not Munition Workers Needed At
Plants Now, But Social Workers

College girls are not needed as muni-
tion workers in America to-day, accord-
ing to Mrs. Robelard, welfare superin-
tendent of the Eddystone munition works,
at Eddystone, Pa., who spoke here last
week on behalf of the Social Service
Committee of the Christian Association.
Mrs. Robelard’s lecture was on Wednes-
day, the anniversary of the Eddystone ex-
plosion last year.

What the coHege women can give the
munition workers, declared the speaker,
is interest and decent treatment, decent
homes and amusements. Both the men
and women employees at Eddystone need
these.

The explosion a year ago Mrs. Robelard
believed to have been due to criminal
negligence. Carelessness or fatigue, due
to piece work, she noted as the chief
causes of such accidents.

A shell for a 75 mm. French gun, made
at Eddystone, was exhibited, with the pro-
jectile cut in cross section to show the
shrapnel set in molten rosin.

THIRD GERMAN WRITTEN PASSES
SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT



Eleven of the sixteen students who
took the third German “written” passed,
and one made merit, leaving four for the
last trial, May 11th. All of these have
passed off French.

Merit: M. Schwartz ’19.

Passed: Bailey,. Dufourcg, Gardiner,
Gest, Hart, Hemenway, Huff, Quimby,
Richards 717, Richardson, Wilson.

Failed: Babbitt, Mall, Ridlon, Showell.



NO LETTER, NO LEAVE

“An officer high in rank in the Ameri-
can army in France allows none of his
men, from lieutenant down, to have
‘leave’ unless he has written during the
week to his nearest of kin in America,”
according to the Committee on Public In-
formation. “This officer is determined to
keep his men in close touch with their
families, for ‘where a soldier is in real
danger perhaps one hour of his existence
in France, his mother is in agony every
one of the twenty-four of the day.’”’
