and opportunity, will be-the exhibition held
in the gymnasium from January 31 until
February 8. . Actual physical demonstra-
tions will be staged and there will be on
view exhibits. from many colleges, indus-
trial plants, and physical welfare orgaiti-
zations.
The gymnasium will "Ge hung around
with the exhibits: posters, charts, pictures,
bulletins, etc., illustrating many phases of
the work. On two of the days not yet
determined, the Model School, will give
a‘ demonstration of gymnastic work and
euryhthmics before the children’s parents.
In addition, some physical training work
may be done by college students, to show-
the work of the more advanced classes.
Vassar,- Wellesley and -Barnard will all
send exhibits, for all have been experi-
menting in various ways. Barnard has re-
cently worked out a series of physical effi-
ciency tests which includes medical, mental
and physical ratings. At Vassar the stu-
made statistics of the physical training
work. Finally not the least interesting in
this class of exhibits. will be the Bryn

Many of the exhibits will be from the
children’s organizations, such as the Na-

Health Organization, American Posture
League, and Dr. Grenfell. These will show
the results of investigations and what has
been accomplished in physical welfare
work. From Dr. Grenfell there will be

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
EXPLAINED BY MISS PARK
Two ‘Points Have Been ‘Eliminated
and No Conditions are Allowed
The changes in the Collegen entrance re-
quirements, upon which the ‘faculty has
recently decided, were the subject of
President Park’s: ‘talk in; Chapel last
Wednesday morning.
Bryn Mawr has always stated twenty
points as its requirement for entrance, she
explained, but, if the points were counted
asin other-. colleges, they would only
amount ta seventeen. In English, Mathe-
matics, and Physics, Bryn Mawr gives one
more point than do other colleges for ex-
aminations of equal difficulty. Besides
these, however, Bryn Mawr requires two
points which are actually’more than those
prescribed by other colleges. —
Last year the Faculty Committee on En-
trance Examinations worked to find some
change in the requirements which would
bring the College-an increasingly good set
of students. Now, through the elimination
of examinations in. two mindér subjects,
which after long trial have proved to be
of small value as a foundation for the
College curriculum, the faculty hopes to
accomplish two things: first, to release
time for more thorough preparation in the
remaining subjects, so that no conditions
need be carried over into the first year of
college; and, second, to make it possible
for a greater variety of good schools ‘to
prepare readily for Bryn Mawr.
Bryn Mawr will continue to accept either
her own or Collegé Board examinations,
President Park went on, but on account of
the reduced number of examinations they
may be hereafter taken in not more than
two divisions and no students with con-
ditions will be admitted. These require-
ments will be optional in 1923 and obliga-
tory in 1924, but minute -arrangements
have been made for students who have
already offered preliminaries.
“We think these are more intelligent re-
quirements for entrance,” she concluded,
“because good students in almost any kind
of school can now consider coming to
Bryn Mawr, and future students will come
into Bryn Mawr, unconditioned, with clear
minds as oe? their school work.”

THE EXHIBITION
The Physical ‘Welfare Exhibit which is
to be held in the gymnasium January 31st
to ‘February 8th should be of general in-
terest, for not only will it show most un-
ysual instances of what is being done today
in many fields of physical welfare work,
but it may be of value in indicating an
opportunity for work after college. ‘These
hildren’s_ organizations, for instance, are
doing what is very vital, and speaking of
the work in Labrador; Dr. Grenfell says
~,that, if’ the nutrition work which is done
ow had been done twenty years ago, there
“would not be half the need for the medical

as practical—many Bryn Mawr graduates
are already doing this sort of thing ; Miss

GERMAN TRADES CONGRESS
“TURNS ON INDUSTRIAL
~~ ORGANIZATION
Miss Kingsbury Describes Tense
Sessions of Socialist Conference
(Specially contributed by Dr. Susan M.
Kingsbury, Professor of Social Economy
and Social Research.)
The assemblage of the German Trades
Union Congress (Deutsche Gewerkschafts-
kongress), held in Leipzig June 18, 1922,
was similar in purpose, members and rep-
resentation to that.of the Southport, Eng-
_ land, Conference. It was composed of 700
delegates, it represented 8,000,000 members,
it ¢onvened to consider the best means of
.advancing the status of, the trades unions
and the welfare of the laboring class. But
there the similarity ceased. Throughout} t
the ‘deliberations the Congress conceived
itself as having a right to hold the govern-
ment responsible for political action on,
Socialist principles ; it was’a self- conscious
- political_group with a definite, political pro-
gram. tn the Southport Congress every
discussion finally expressed the opinion
that: only through political: power could
its aim be eventually attained. It Hoped
for- political solidarity. Wt urged political
activity among the unions. But the Leip-
zig Congress went much farther. The
basis of .contention, almost of conflict, was
political. At Southport argument centered
‘on the questidn of Industrial versus Craft:
‘Unionism, and questions between unions,
_ . aside from the great world question of the
Versailles Treaty. At Leipzig the issue at
stake was the political control of the con-
egress itself. Could the Communists and
Independent Socialists. together, -or each
“Ylone, get enough votes to discredit the
Council and overthfow the Majority So-
cialists which this committee represented |
and which had her€tofore -been in great
majority?
_ At the very beginning of the first session
the radicals moved that their two groups
should each have representation on each
commission of the Congress. The sus-
pense was- tense.
able to secure enough delegates to carry the
Congress? It was, a test vote and the re-
sult would be significant not only for the
trades unions, but for the whole country.
The measure failed. The Majorityg So-
cialists breathed relief. Then came an at-
tempt to force a roll call on demand of
fifty delegates instead of 100. It failed.
But the signal success of the radicals came
when their third proposition carried by 335
to 304 votes. (with only ninety straight
Communist votes)—namely, that on each
subject discussed a representative of the
>
. Independent Socialists and of the Com-.
munists as well as the Majority Socialists
should have each twenty minutes in which
to express the view of his party. This
decision colored the whole session, for
every question was presented first by a
Majority Socialist, representing the Coun-
cil, and was then immediately attacked by
an Independent Socialist gand by a Com-'
munist merber,,. thus making a political
‘issue.
offered opportunity for division on reac-
tionary versus: radical lines, one knew of |:
course where each political group would
stand. Thus one of the most hotly con-
tested’ debates was on the proposition for
gradual eradication of the craft unions and.
substitution of industrial unionism. And
by a‘large majority. the Congress decided
nor industrial unionism: in principle—that
“every industry should have only’ one
‘union”—and a standing committee of fif-'
teen to “draw up within two months con-
crete plans for the’ development of unions
in each industry.” 4
One of the acts of the revolution most
interesting to the American student is the
- Works “Councils (betriebsrite). i
These councils must by law be -in- every
establishment where twenty or more work-
ers are employed, chosen by and from the
workers. They decide in conference with
the employers on all conditions of work
including wages, and workers paid by the
firm give Bi cna entire. attention to ethe
Had_the left wing been.
Where the questions themselves
problems of the employees. Says a resolu-
tion of the Council: ‘The Works Coun-
cils are a product of the revolution. The
unions ‘can and should* support them ‘asthe
direct agent of the class struggle, incor-
porating the will of the Proletariat, voicing
the chief factors in production, wage rates,
etc. The struggle of the unions does not
reduce itself to mere parliamentary pres-
sure and measures, but must mean actual
authority used to gain the desired. goal.
¢ “Since the’ Works Councils come in con-
tact with.a far greater. number of the
Proletariat than the unions, they must act
not only as agents of the union, but’ must
place themselves in the closest possible co--
operation with the union. They must. con-
cern themselves not only with the_ interest
of the Proletariat, but. must be the pioneers
and lead, the. way in the struggle’ for the
OV ferthrow of capital and the establishment
ofa socialistreorder. This all must con®
through the legal sanction of the Works
Councils, — =
“In order that the Works. Councils
should attain the fulfillment of this aim
they must be educated in organiM&ion of
the works, and in technical financial ques-
tions as well as to know how to make’ use
of their experience.” ‘
“The Congress instructs the commission
‘to work out a new Works Council law
within two months and to publish it in the
In. the outline of the law
!
for discussion.
must be:
“faye Thorough control of productign,
of trade: of commerce, of political per-
sonnel and of fixing the price through the
Works Councils, the unions and the asso-
ciations. (b) Creation, of a labor board
in the districts, territories and empire, to
possess legal authority to pass resolutions
and the right to vote. ‘
“In order to bring the Reichstag to an
‘immediate recognition of the change in the
Works Councils laws the committee must
use every possible legitimate means to
through a widespread propaganda among
the Proletariat.” = sissies
While the resolutions of the Congress
right’ manfully endorsed the slogan “equal
pay for é¢qual work, in order to regain
adeqtiate—support of women,” and dle-
manded that the eight-hour day be retained,
night work for women abolished, two-week
vacations, free Saturday afternoons, etc.,
etc:, it gave practically no recognition, to
women in its councils. One woman, Frau
Gertrude Hanna, sits by. courtesy with the
Cauncil, and only seven women are mem-
bers of the Congress, although there aré
1,600,000 women in the organization.
Real recognition was given the questions
on children and apprentices, with due sym-
pathy with the youth movement (“Jugend
bewegung”), The one labor law, however,
which the German people will not give up
is that which provides-the eight-hour day.
Said the Council: “No struggle is too
great against all attempts to break down
the eight-hour law. It was attained only
through struggle and the aim is to make it
uniform everywhere, not-only for one in-
dustry, but for all, universally.”
At the present moment; when those who
{-Kknow;-if-any do know, are filled with doubt
and despair, when Sir Robert Horne’s
warning that European civilization is on
the verge of collapse simply voices the con-
viction, undared in expression, of thou-
sands of Americans,, certain statements of
the Leipzig Congress arg significant, per-
haps.prophetic, It declared that “the
Coalition and People’s party have consented
to tax reform, but absolutely nothing has
been: done to bring it about.” Again!
“Since the downfall of the capitalistic
order, the Trade Union Congress feels the
need of devoting its attention especially to
the problem of working out the aims of the
proletariat. The interests of the, working’
classes must be studied, understood, and
followed,” And again: “At present a
greater.reason exists for. fear of war than
ever—greater danger of militarism,—there-
fore the labor unions are heartily in favor
of. a peace congress, and heartily endorse
every movement for the establishing of *a
world peace.”

Dr. Guthrie Speers spoke on Stinday

after all, a more real thing in life? Trust
is the mainstay of our existence. What

INCREASE SHOWN IN CIRCULATION.
OF LIBRARY BOOKS
®
Large Number of New. Volumes Have
Been Added to Shelves
ale
(Specially contributed .by
Miss Lois A. Reed, Librarian)
In common with other libraries through-
out the country, there has, been an increase
in the work of the-College Library for the
past year. Since 1920 the circulation has
increased by 4738 volunies and there has
been a continually increasing use of books
within the library walls. Six thousand
three hundred fourteen volumes of the
total circulation were placed in the: Reserve
Bools. Room and on reserve in the Semi-
nary¥ Rooms, but as no record of the cir-
culation of a book is kept after it is put
on the reserve shelves, statistics cannot
show the very large circulation of such
books in the building. nor. the number
charged out for over night use. The total
number of volumes taken out -during the
twelve months“was 27,238. Of this number
the students drew out 56 per cent., the
faculty and staff 21-per cent., and 23 per.
cent:-were placed-on-reserve,
The Jibrary was increased by the addi-
tion-of 3046 volumes during the year. Of
this number 1739 volumes were purchased,
750 volumes were bound periodicals, 542
were acquired by gift or exchanged, and
lis were to replace lost. or worn-out copies.
The total number of volumes at: the begin-
ning of the present, college sessjon was
99,100. .
There were 10,327 cards made and added
to the main catalogue during the year. The
Catalogue Department catalogued 2157
titles, and added other volumes, extra.
copies, or new- editions, numbering 2177
volumes. Besides the current work which

the most impressive ‘incidents, semiely, the
speech of Professor Sinsheimer, of *Fraffk-
fort University, who is said-to- have drawn
up the Weimar Constitution, adopted in
1918, by which the German_revolution was
consummated and the Republic founded.
A&-he--wisely-urged-the Communists_“to
think more and talk less,” and plead for
wiser labor legislation and better labor edu-
cation, he uttered the almost. despairing
cry, “When we had the power, we did not
know what to do with it.” But what was
the temper of “Labor in Germany as seen
in this Congress? Organized so that it
“eould and did paralyze the country in its
three days strike against the reactionaries
in 1994, and thus prevented a counter rev-
olution, it has sought to force the govern-
ment to meet the demands of the Allies,
and strain every nerve to supply ‘the rep-
arations. Yet it felt it was losing ground.
is always. kept” up to date.the department
is working on the cataloguing of the Greek
and Latin books and progress is being
made toward the completion of this large
collection.
Following the regular custom, the bi-
ennial_inventory_of_ the library was taken
during the summer. This includes all de-
partment libraries in Dalton Hall. It is
surprising how books that have been miss-
ing sometimes for years will turn up in
these inventories, possibly because they
have been misplaced and ‘overlooked, but
more often because they have been sur-
reptitiously returned by those who have
taken them out unregistered. For this
reason it is thought best not to withdraw
and count as permanently lost the books
which are on the missing list, except in
cases where the lost book is needed and
has had to be replaced. Several hundred
volumes were found to be missing, and
during the winter, as the library has time,
further search will be made so the total
will doubtless he gréatly reduced. When.
Avid the Council : “The practical working }
out of the common good of Labor since
November, 1918, and especially in the last
three years, has shown that the laboring
class on every side step by. step has been
pushed back while the opposition to the
proletariat has won eyerything.”
Throughout the session there were these
two currents—the political conflict threat-
ening to split the trades unions in twain, as
in France, and the struggle of the majority
to find a way to force the government to}
positive action and to* mect: the Versailles
program. Then Saturday morning at 11
o'clock; just as it seemed that the radicals
would accomplish delay and prolong the
Congress, came the astounding news of the
murder of Dr. Rathenau. The Congress
fairly staggered. Little by little one could
feel it settle down-—and as soon as it could
collect itself, it passed a resolution of
abhorrence, declared a one-day strike for
the following Tuesday, as a protest, quietly
finished its business and adjourned so that
the officials might hasten to Berlin. ‘Said
the Leipzig People’s News: “The murder
of. Rathenau: shows that the ‘murder fac-
tion’ of the reactionary party is still func-
tioning. The Republic is in. extreme dan-
ger. Is the assassination a signal for an

it is considered that very slight supervision
is possible of the stacks and practically no
supervision is possible in the other parts
of the library the total loss is not great.
However, any loss is to be regretted. We
must depend on the users of the library
to reduce the misplaced and missing vol-
umes, a it can be dorie in no other way.
