d - Coast—were finally accepted and awarded
scholarships. Only six of the students
from the previous s@#mmer were able to re-
turn, although the Committee had hope
to have as many as twenty-five come back
“for second year work. Bad industrial con-
ditions and unemployment made ‘it too
‘great a risk for others who wished to come
to lose wages and ‘possibly a job itself a
second’ summer, and this also accounted in
gart for the fact that fewer Union smem-
‘bers were able to dpply for the School this
year, as thty did not feel free to leave
work in their own organizations at such
a critical time.
The problems: of this second. summer
--were mainly educational, as the vital ques-
tion of the first year, the representation of
the School on the Joint Administrative
Committee had been settled last fall. That
it had been settled, and that now an equal
number of representatives of women in in-
dustry are working out the policies*of the
School. with the College group, has given
the students of both summers a feeling of
confidence in the College, agreater interest
in making the School a success, and a deep
responsibility in doing their part toward its
* future development.
The curiculum for the first year stu-
dents “included economics, English ard
hygiene—all required—annd electives in
science, government, history, English lit-
erature, the appreciation of music and the
history of the labor movement. For the
second year students psychology was the
only required course. While eleven hours
of .work a week proved to be about the
right amount, it was generally agreed at
the end of,this summer that it would be
advisable for the students to concentrate
on fewer subjects another year, ‘perhaps
on economics and one elective course, with
English taught in connection with these
two subjects, "
In the faculty were included eight | in-
structors and sixteen tutors, the tutors in
every. department working directly under
the supervision of the instructor and thus
correlating the work of the tutoring sec-
tions. The faculty this year were chosen
- with a view to their understanding of the-
experiences and problems of- the students,
and therefore were able at once to estab-
lish a friendly relation. This simplified the
teaching .problem and made it possible for
faculty.and students to settle down at once |
without friction to
work, «
As in the year before, a period of ad-
justment and of great discouragement, last-
ing with most students about a fortnight,
was preliminary to the real work of the
School. At first it was all a blur—a con-
fusion of ideas and general bewilderment
so disturbing that several students were all
read go home and yield their places to
other candidates who, they thought, might
be better qualified to represent their own
trades or districts. Underlying all the dis-
couragement, however, was a dogged per-
steady constructive
sistence and a determination .not to fail,
which finally led to understanding and a

thorough contentment in-the delights of
intellectual effort. As _one student re-
» | marked about the courses, they soon began
to “inhale them better, and had the satis-
faction’ of realizing” that such things as
economics, history, or psych#logy were riot
above and’ beyond them,” but Were within
their capacity and intimately’ related . to
their own lives.
Along with classtoom instruction and
tutoring hours, went ‘an enormous amount
of reading testified to by the library sta~
tistics that an average of, thirty-two week
books were always out. Between the hou
of nine and five an average of forty- sieht
books were,out every hour, which means
that about 168 books a day were out for a
two-hour period in the hands ‘of the stu-
dents. Approximatelys fifty books were out
each evening to be kept until morning,
This concentrated effort on the part of
students and faculty bore fruit in rapid
mental | development of. many students;
broadér jgtellectual interests, more bogical
thought and greater facility ‘in expression.
With these came a desire to carry back
something of value to other groups ,of
workers. Every student collected syllabi
of the courses and- lists of recommended
study classes in her own district. With
last year’s students the stimulus of two
months at Bryn Mawr had resulted in
many new winter, classes, and with this
group too there is the same determination
to go on.
The fact that this winter work is a
rnecessary and vital part of the function of
the. School has been established. by the
experience of the summer. Some period
of preparation must be required if the
School is to maintain a high standard’ of
work. Students who are too immature, too
lacking in industrial experience or in seri-
ous purpose’to get from the School all
it has to give should give place, to other
‘more able applicants whose ability has in.
some way been tested before, they come to
the School. This problem, the majn one
for the School organization this winter, is
being seriously considered by the studcny
themselves, who have gone back to their
own communities with the determination to
secure the finest type of student for the
School next year.
