ON“COSTS OF | EDUCATION”

@ ‘Between sixty and seventy-students. from

miariy Eastern and some Western colleges
attended the National Student Forum Con-
ference on the “Social ‘Costs of ‘Education,”
held in ,Hartsdale, sf Y., from December

26-28. iy iy

The Conference was eritirely a student
affair, there being no outside speakers. The
discussion turned first on the source of
capital for founding and endowing colleges.

‘Since in private institutions thi® aealth is¢

drawn from the profits of capitalists, labor

’ is the unwitting source of a good which it

does not enjoy. The obligation of students
to repay in some way the,debt to labor
which they-incur by attending college: was
the subject of a great deal of discussion
and disagreement. Though it was gener-
ally conceded that the student has indeed a
responsiblity toward society, and that it is
his duty in some way to work for a juster
system of educational opportunity, yet the
means by .which he should do so could not
be unanimously decided upon. Several
people, among them Justine Wise, ex-’24,
who is now at Radcliffe, maintained that
the only consistent course was to withdraw
from an institution based on injustice. It
was. pointed out that if this consistency
were carried further, it would mean with-
itself, since existence
without any contact with the capitalist sy$-
tem is manifestly impossible.

The general feeling of the Conference |.

‘seemed to be that such extreme measures

were a matter of individual “thought « and
feeling, and impractical though admirable.

COAL SHORTAGE CAUSES ANXIETY
TO COLLEGE AUTHORITIES
Q ; —— a
Clergymen Cancel Weekday Services to
: Relieve Suffering of Country



(Statement by Mr. John J. Foley,
Superintendent. ) :

The coal shortage at the College was
somewhat relieved by the closing of the
halls and the cutting off of steam where
possible during the Christmas holidays.
The same is true of other schools and in-
stitutions. A wholesale closing was avoided
by the Christmas recess which enabled offi-
cials to obtain coal for some of them.

While poor families are without coal or
fuel of any kind, every one connected with
the College should economize on heat as
A great economy of
coal could be effected by every one closing
the windows and turning off the thermo-
stats or radiators, whichever it might be,
when not using their rooms. Department
heads are invited to help wherever possible.

Many schools and churches, their supply
exhausted, have already closed and many
more will close before the end of the
month. To relieve suffering throughout
the country, the following resolution was

_ offered and adopted by the clergymen. of

the different denominations:
Be it resolved: “That we “pledge our-
selves to save coal by cancelling all week-

_ day services where a large church must be
~ heated for a few persons or a parish house,

‘or community building for a small gather-
ing. We pledge ourselves to see that the

JOHN P..GAVIT CHARACTERIZES
ATMOSPHERE AT BRYN MAWR

Miss Thomas has ‘given the College
3 The quality of Intensive Work -





“There is in Bryn Mawr a quality of
intensiveness in the work, of attention to
the individual student, a general thorough-
Hness of which the ‘College is, and has,.a
right to be proud,” concluded Mr. John’ P.
Gavit in the second of a series of articles
on Bryn Mawr College which appeared - in
the New York Evening Post.

In the early part of December, Mr. Gavit
visited-. College for about a week, talking
with the students and faculty and visiting
classes and athletic work.

The headlines . of his articles—“Bryn
Mawr has been Martha Carey Thomas”
and “Bryn Mawr’s Head faces: Hard Task”
—summarize, to a large extent, the views
which he received. In the first paper he
spoke of the establishment of the College
and of the strange fact that “the students
have never .been preponderantly Quaker.”
He stressed ex-President- Thomas’ vital in-
fluence’ upon the institution, especially her
“passion for study,” and her ability in
choosing excellent instructors.

His second article presented Bryn Mawr
as at. “the dividing of ‘the ways’—as
changing from old regime to the new. Mr.
Gavit described Miss Thomas “as the stu-
dents saw her,” remarked upon her. ex-
traordinary ability and upon the success of
her administration, and concluded by en-
larging upon the opportunity which she has
left to President Park.

Mr. Gavit has written “articles on the
most important men’s and women’s colleges
of the East. As the representative men’s
colleges, he chose Harvard, Yale, Prince-
ton and Dartmouth. The women’s colleges
selected were Smith, Wellesley, Vassar and
Bryn Mawr.

NEW WATER POLO RULES
WILL IMPROVE GAME

é



Match Games to begin on February

Twelfth :



The character of water polo has_ been
somewhat changed and improved. by the
new rules adopted “by the Athletic Associa-
tion, which will be enforced in all practices
and in* the match games, which begin
February. 12th. :

The “rules, which are taken from the
English National Water Polo Association,
were brought over this fall: by Miss Apple-
bee. These rules are not the only new
addition to the game as a “beautiful red
ball” has appeared in the pool. In England
the game played by Bryn Mawr is. called
water polo, but over here it is known as
water soccer. The new offside rule that it
is a willful foul for a player, to take a posi-
tion within two yards of his opponents’
goal line will-make the game much cleaner,
producing better shooting and teani work.
The rule that from the start a goal cannot
be scored till the ball has beén handled by
two players will prevent any: very indi-
vidual playing. .

Four ‘teams from each class will enter the
match games. 1926 hasathe largest number
to select teams from, as seventy-two people
have signed to play: They have-also_some
of the best swimmers in the colleges. The
time for practicing this year is shorter than
usual, and as some of the first teams have
lost players, the match games may not be
up to their usual standard.

Bryn Mawr is not the only women’s col-
lege tlat takes an interest in ‘water polo.
Barnard has recently sent for the rules, in-
tending to take up the games for the first
time this winter.

The additions to last year’s rules taken
from the rules of the English National
Water Polo Association are as follows:

Staring—“From the start or restart a
goal cannot be scored until the ball ‘has
been handled, viz.,’
below the wrist either.by two members of
one team in which case the scorer shall be
within one-half distance of the goal at:
tacked or by a player of each team.”

Willful Fouls—“For a player to take up
a position within two eee of his op-
ponents’ goal line.”

Penalty Throw—‘A dis willfully
fouled when within four yards of his ‘op-
ponents’ goal line shall be awarded a pen-

“Her observation is almost wickedly keen:
her expression of it is as clear and as

DR. SAVAGE WRITES ON COLLEGE
SLANG IN “DIALECT NOTES”

College slang in general, and particular
phrases from Bryn Mawr College, is the
subject of an_article by Dr. Howard J.
Savage, Director of the Work in English
Composition, in a recent number of Dialect
Notes, one of the publications of the
American Dialect Society.

Dr. Savage formulates certain laws
which govern all college slang and explains
methods by which words and phrases be-
come current, drawing his
from observations made at Bryn Mawr
since 1915; in which he has been helped by
his classes. Finally, he lists over a hun-
dred .common Bryn Mawr slang expres-
sions, including all such terms as “chloro-
plasts,” “fire-balls,” “pest house,” “muggle,”
and the nicknames of professors.

to be commended for her coolness and de-

simple directness which is in this article.
The issues which she raises are of, para-

Of the two short stories, Spanish Paper

very much on the established order of such

Miss Gray’s Sisie, on the other hand,

the characters. For so short a ‘story, the
characters remain fixed in the reader's

creditable to Miss Gray, not the reader—
and they have, moreover, a consistency of
action with character which is rare in

what Solomon called * ‘the way of

In 1891 came Samuel Pierpo

' Langley, secretary of the Smith-

sonian Institution. He wanted
facts. His first step was to whirl
flat surfaces in the air, to measure
the air pressures required to sus-
tain these surfaces in motion and
to study the swirls and currents of
the air itself. Finally, in 1896, he
built a small steam-driven model
which flew three-quatters of a
mile.

With a Congressional appro-
priation of $50,060 Langley built
a large man-carrying machine. Be-

_ cause it was impreperly launched,

it dropped into the Potomac River.
Years later, Glenn Curtiss flew it
at Hammondsport, New York.

Congress regarded Langley’s
attempt not asa scientific experi-
ment but as a sad fiasco and

In this work the Laboratories of

developing the “supercharger,”

WOMEN’S COLLEGES PRESENT
AT INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE

Protection’ of Working Women and
Abolition of Child Labor Planned

——-

(Specially contributed by
Dr. Susan M. Kingsbury, Professor of
Social Economy and Social Research)

Five years hence the conference held last
week in Washington will be generally rated
_ as an epoch-making event. Today it if so
recognized by those who have watched for
the dawning of social conscience. And to
those women who have striven during the

past quarter century “for at least decent.

working conditions for women in industry,
this event must promise-victory. For there
assembled more than 350 delegates .repre-
_ senting sixty-seyen_national- organizations,
from forty-two States, .to consider the
eight-hour, day, home work, and minimum
wage laws for .women, health standards
for and maternity care of working women,
and child labor legislation.

The resolutions adopted were very gen-
eral, setting forth ideals of justice and
standards permitting the fulness of life.
But much may be expected of: the influence
to be-—carriedback to enlarge—legislative
protection and enforcement. The deter-
mination to secure Child Labor regulation
and curtailment was grim. That the Fed-
eral amendment, enabling Congress to re-
strict and control Child Labor, may be
passed by Congress before March and car-
ried through enough legislatures this sum-
mer to become effective seems probable..

Throughout the conference was one very
sad note,—that one of the figures most
largely responsible for. the spirit’ which
could create this conference should have
been suddenly snatched away. Florence
Sims, who died last week, had been, for
many years at the head of the Industrial
Division of the Young Women’s Christian
Association. Her vision throughout these
years, like that of Mrs. Raymond Robins,
has never been dimmed. * She often. felt
that the movement was so slow as to be
backward—but. she never hesitated, and
this Congress bore gestimony to and regis-



tered, recognition of her signal devotion
and her surpassing wisdom.
giving his college course, and to’ prepare
himself for progressive. work later ..by
thinking and reading about the society he
belongs to, and cultivating, above all, an
open mind.

Professor Kingsbury "attended the con-
ference as the representative. of her de-
partment, Miss Smith, former-dean of the
College, attended: for Bryn Mawr College
and. Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, head of the
Publicity Department, represented the Bryn

~ At first the program promised- to be
monotonous; the speakers unexciting. The
subjects to be considered were too familiar,

the speakers too frequently heard. Ex-
actly. But the conference proved tobe
what« Miss Mary Anderson, Chief of the
Women’s Bureau, had foreseen—simply a

j statement of program upon which to: con-
, centrate. The speakers were the highest
..and best authority on each topic and there-
fore commanded attention and respect. It
was—discitssion for which Miss Anderson,
hoped and she got it. Not controversial
but committal. In one or two instances
there were startling contributions—as when
Dr. Spaeth of Johns Hopkins swept away
the old thtories that women need more
health protection in industry than men
(except as to maternity), although his con-
tentions will certainly be challenged, and
when Mrs. Florence Kelley characterized
