Vouums V. No. 1 BRYN MAWR, PA., DECEMBER 19, 1918

=



Bettering its fine undefeated record of
last year by avoiding any tie score, Var-
sity this year stands without a peer in
Philadelphia hockey circles. Merion was
the last victim of the champion eleven,
losing in their annual game last Saturday,
14-0.

In spite of Merion’s lacking two play-
ers, they put up a good fight against the
swifter and better organized Varsity
team. The good passing between the in-
sides and the wings was largely respon-
sible for Bryn Mawr’s easy victory. G.
Hearne '19 and Captain Tyler '19 made
six goals with little difficulty. B. Weaver
’20 and M. Carey '20 followed up well and
played a steady game, B. Weaver inter-
cepting M. Mutch’s long runs and passes

again and again. A. Townsend, Merion’s |.

captain and an All-Philadelphia star, was
the backbone of the Merion defense.

BH. Lanier '19 and M. Warren ’21, sub
stitutes, both won B. M.’s for playing in
two Varsity games.

VARSITY UNDEFEATED
AND UNEQUALLED



Captain Tyler ‘19 has piloted Varsity
through an undefeated season. In spite
of the influenza quarantine, which pre-
vented any games until late this fall,
Varsity. has succeeded, by playing twice
a week and by post-season games, not
only in playing every game on its sched-
ule but in winning every one. Since the
beginning of Varsity hockey matches in
1902 this record has been made only once
before, in 1917. The following is the
record for the past four years:*

NEW PLAN FOR NEXT COMPETITION
1920 VERSUS 1921



The next News competition will take
place immediately after mid-years. The
position open is that of Junior editor to
fill the place of B. Luetkemyer. Several
Juniors are already candidates.

Contrary to precedent, Sophomores will
be allowed to compete with Juniors for
the position, although three Sophomores
have already made the board. The win-
ner will determine the preponderance of
her class on the News.

‘| under the British Army in January.



The last lap of the war, which is to be
fought not by soldiers but by civilians,
was the theme of a lecture by Lieut, Con-
ingsby Dawson, of the Canadian Field Ar-
tillery, Saturday night in the gymnasium.
“The real war is to start when the fight-
ing is ended, in a revolution of ideals and
ideas which will make the French Revo-
lution look like a dime show,” said Lieu-
tenant Dawson.

War has taught the men to be tender,

he continued. It has taught them that it
is the spirit that counts. They know that
it isn’t life that matters, but the courage
put into it. “Last, and greatest, they
have learned the glory of renouncing self.
. War has taught soldiers, civilians,
and nations, how to share.

“God has proved Himself in this war.”
The Hun was stopped in many cases by
happy accidents rather than by human
effort. Lieutenant Dawson cited the ex-
amples of Mons, where the advancing
German hosts halted at the ghostly appa-
rition of the “angels of Mons,” and of
Villers-Bretonneau. ‘Telling of the deci-
sive victory last spring at Villers-
Bretonneau, he said that the British line
there had really broken, leaving only such
men as army cooks and grooms to be
rushed up to fill the gap. On the appear-
ance overhead of three Hun scouting
planes they foolishly let off their rifles at
them—and the Germans retired home to
report that the front was held by storm
troops. So the attack was delayed until
Australian troops could be brought up in
force.

“When we were over there we used to
have the feeling that all the beautiful
things of life were left at home with you;
we idealized you,” said Lieutenant Daw-
son. “Now the men coming back don’t
want the gates of heroism to clang to.
Don‘t let us ever get to the point where
it is impossible, for one reason or an-
other, for a man to live and die a Gallant
Gentleman.”

An example of spiritual triumph over
physical defects was cited in the case of
a man who, being rejected by every
branch of the service except the Mos-
quito Fleet on account of his eyes, joined
there, and by his heroism won, in a year
and a half, the D. 8S. O., the V. C., and his
Lieutenant-Commandership.

Lieutenant Dawson will go to Russia



Over $500 was netted from Lieutenant
Dawson's lecture.



DR. BARTON ORDAINED EPISCOPAL
MINISTER



Will Be Curate at the Church of the
Redeemer
Dr. George A. Barton, Professor of Bib-
lical Literature and Semitic Languages,
was ordained a minister of the Protestant
Episcopal Church by Bishop Rhinelander,
at the Church of the Redeemer, Bryn
Mawr, last Saturday morning. Bishop
Rhinelander received Dr. and Mrs. Barton
into the Episcopal Church last spring.
Beginning this week Dr. Barton will
act as curate at the Church of the Re
deemer, Bryn Mawr. His connection with
the Church of the Redeemer involves no
responsibilities that will interfere with
his work at the College.







WAR EPISODES INFORMALLY TOLD
BY WEARER OF LEGION
OF HONOR



Lieutenant Béranger of French Army
Ascribes His Life to the American |
Red Cross

“The little boy of the Red Cross—to go
wherever he is sent,” was the self-
assumed title of Lieutenant Béranger, of
the 161st Infanterie, who spoke infor-
mally in Rockefeller last Friday after-
noon for the Christmas membership drive
of the Red Cross. Lieutenant Béranger
wore the Legion of Honor, awarded at
Verdun by General Pétain, and the Croix
de Guerre with three palms and stars, in-
dicating citations before company, regi-
ment and army. His division has been
cited four times.

From three years’ experience in the
trenches, Lieutenant Béranger drew epl-
sodes of war which he described with a
dramatic charm and keen sense of humor.
Lieutenant Béranger, after a convales-
cence from wounds of a month and a half,
sailed for America the day after the ar-
mistice was signed. He is one of six
brothers, all of whom survive the war.
To the American Red Cross he ascribed
his recovery. “Good medicine,” he said
of the American nurse who cared for him.
Cut off from his company with five
companions and surrounded by the en-
emy at Verdun, Lieutenant Béranger and
his poilus took refuge in a shell hole,
where they were joined by other strag-
glers. After exhausting their -ammuni-
tion, they fixed bayonets under his lead-
ership and charged, shouting, through
German patrols in safety to the French
lines. Their defense in the shell hole
had made possible the consolidation of
the French line against the oncoming
German. Telling simply of Pétain’s ar-
rival at headquarters and inquiry for him,
Lieutenant Beranger said modestly, fin-
gering his Legion of Honor, “he pulled
this from his pocket, and kissed me on
both cheeks—like a father.”

The Red Cross and Allied Relief De-
partment of the War Council, under
whose auspices Lieutenant Béranger
spoke, entertained him at tea in Pem-
broke East and he dined with Mme.
Riviere at Low Buildings.

MORE CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS
FILLED THAN EVER BEFORE
210 Christmas stockings,—more than
ever before,—have been filled this year,
under the auspices of the Sewing and
Junk Committees. Those filled by stu-
dents in Rockefeller go to old ladies, 50
go to Bates House children at the Spring
Street Settlement in New York, 40 to the
Kensington Settlement in Philadelphia,
and the rest to the children of the Italian
workmen on the campus and to colored
schools in the South.

Vv. EVANS AND F. HOLLINGSHEAD
NEW SOPHOMORE “NEWS”
EDITORS
In the closest competition in the his-
tory of the News board, Victoria Evans
and Frances Hollingshead have won the
positions of Sophomore editors. Frances
Riker ran a close third in the competi-

tion.

NOTICE TO UNDERGRADUATES
_ All undergraduates who will be in or
near Philadelphia on January ist, are
cordially invited to a New Year's recep-
tion at the College Club, 1300 Spruce
‘| Street, from 3.30 to 6.






Eight Parts to be Filled
The week after the Christmas vacation
has been set for the casting of the Var-
sity Plays, Barrie’s Rosalind and Brig-
house’s Maid of France. It is hoped that
the casting will be completed in.a week.
Rehearsals will not be again until after
mid-years. The parts of The Merry
Death have been cast for some time, but
are subject to change.
Rosalind stands out as the most promi-
nent character of the three plays. The
other parts of Barrie’s piece are a boy in
love with Rosalind and an old lady with
whom she lives. In the Maid of France
are twin feminine parts, a flower girl and
the statue of Jeanne d’Arc, the two prov-
ing in the end to be identical. A Poilu
and two Tommies complete the cast.
“Rosalind”

“Rosalind” concerns an actress who
plays Rosalind, but is really a charming
middle-aged lady who loves tea and car-
pet slippers. A devoted admirer of the
stage beauty discovers this motherly per-
son to be the same as the charming
young heroine. The play has much
clever dialogue.

“A Maid of France”

In “A Maid of France” Harold Brig-
house has created something new in the
way of war atmosphere. Jeanne d’Arc,
who cannot endure the laurel of England
on her brow, is made to understand why
England is no longer an enemy of France,
by a French Poilu and an _ English
“Tommy,” who dream at the foot of her
statue. Two minor characters necessary
to the plot are an English soldier and a
flower girl.

“The Merry Death”

The story of “The Merry Death” by
Evreinov is the old Harlequin theme re-
written. The plot is light and fantastic,
woven around the love of Columbine, the
wife of Pierrot, for Harlequin, who is to
die.

Classes Will Maintain War W:

o

1921 have voted to conscript themselves
for at least an hour’s war work a week.
A failure to live up to the agreement will
mean double the work the following
week accompanied by a small fine.

The other three ciasses are signing up
the length of time they are willing to give
and will regulate the matter by public
opinion.



VARIED CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES



Denbigh Gives Spirit of Old England

A Dickens Christmas in Denbigh was
the most novel of last night’s parties. The
hospitality of Merrie England was ex-
pressed by C. Donnelley ‘21, hostess of
the manor, with her attendant jester in
cap and bells. A band of waits, led by
B. Ferguson '21, sang old carols. The
dining-room was twined with holly, and
lighted by Christmas candles. Stockings
hung by the blazing Yule-log, presided
over by Santa Claus and his page. The
Sophomore committee to arrange the
revels was D. Lubin, L. Beckwith, and A.
Taylor.

The Denbigh merrymakers later danced
in Rockefeller, to the music of an outside
orchestra. Dinner at Rock was enliv-
ened by gay costumes, stunts and toasts.
The center of the jollification was a
Christmas tree for the maids. The party
was planned by the hall representatives.

Vacation Eve

"Twas the night before vacation, and
all through the house not a creature. was
stirring, excepting the mouse, who was
smacking his lips over the last bit of mug-
gle in a painted muggle can. Hilda Ma-
thilda stumbled through the débris clut-
tering her room, and dropped exhausted
into bed. Hardly had the last slat stopped
cracking when she was fast asleep.
Visions of Christmas gifts danced through
her head.

A bulging stocking that hung at the
foot of her bed caught her eye. With
eager fingers she clutched it, and drew
out an autographed book by Robert
Nichols. Then out tumbled a fifty-trip
ticket to town, followed by a shower of
receipted bills from the tea-house, Serv-
ice Corps, and C. A. With a sigh of su-
preme joy she reached into the very toe
of the stocking, and pulled out a high
credit in German.

Suddenly a noise startled her. She
looked around—a huge lobster was walk-
ing towards her, balanced gracefully on
his maxillipeds. Struck with horror, she
opened her eyes, to find her room-mate
in a red kimona, ruthlessly pulling off
the bed-clothes. The stocking with its
gifts had vanished. She must face the
cruel realities of 6 o’clock and an unfin-
ished Latin assignment. Then she re-
membered ...

What matter if the stocking was only
a vain delusion? Christmas vacation be-
gan oe ‘with its great gift
of sleep.



“Dere Bill”
Dere Bill:

Realising that you are now a verry
bisy man, working down in that big
camp and wrisking your life daily for
your country, I feal that it is my duty, if
not my priveledge, hey Bill? to write you
chearful letters like the papers say shoud
be wrote to our men. You kno, Bill,
youre being away isn’t so awfull hard on
us. I don’t want you to see that I miss
you anny, you see, Bill. Cute, ain’t it?
But of course you know that I don’t really
meen it, don’t you, Bill?

Speaking of army men, you ought to
see us girls drilling, Bill. Just like ballie
dancers we are, Bill. The dames that
trane us certenly are some burds, Bill,
and they think we’re burds to, I guess.
They make us sing and all the time wave
our hands like us had St. Vitus dance.
And cole days they take us outdoors to
march and all the time they cann see
we're freesing. And it dose them no
good, but they bet seach other about
which can keap thére squad out the
longest.

This ain't a very chearful letter, Bill,
so here’s a good joak to briten it up for
you. Some of the girls want me to join
the Christian Association that the rest of
the girls are all in, and I don’t want to
spend the $1.50 dues, so I say it’s agenst
my vonviktions. Pretty cute, hey, Bill?

I see the post man coming, Bill. Yours
til 'me some one else's.

VITAL TO DECREASE CONSUMPTION
OF BUTTER AND MILK, SAYS
HOOVER

Conservation of butter and condensed
milk is at present the prime need, ac-
cording to Mr. Hoover. Ultimately this
may be extended to all the fats. Substi-
tutes in wheat bread may be given up,
but economy is still required. Three
pounds of household sugar per month can
now be maintained as the individual
ration, ie

Although for S68" next thirty to sixty
days extreme conservation of pork prod-
ucts will not be asked, since there is
barely enough shipping to take care of
the current production and there is no
adequate means of storage, later—when
ships are available—the people will be
called upon for great sacrifice. “The
shortage in our supply of dairy products
is today so acute that we are compelled
to limit their export. Dairy products are
so- vital to the protection of child life
throughout the world that we should im-
mediately reduce our unnecessarily large
consumption of butter and condensed
milk.”

There is still, Mr. Hoover concludes, “a
vital necessity to simple living, to econ-
omy in all consumption, for commodities
more or less substitute for one another.”

Cc. A'S ALL OVER WORLD DESCRIBED
IN “INTERNATIONAL NEWS”



Colleges of China, Japan, Scotland,
France, and two colleges in the United
States were represented at a meeting
held by the Federation Committee of the
Christian Association last Wednesday
evening in Taylor.

“At first there were just enough Chris:
tians in our Association for one person to
be audience, one person sing, and one
person to play the organ,” said Fung Kei
Liu ’22, in describing the school from
which she had graduated in China. Soon
many people became Christians and
joined the Association. Many of them
started clubs and taught schools in addi-
tion to their own work. One of these
primary schools now includes several
buildings, so rapid has been the increase
in attendance.

One of the most important things that
the Y. W. C. A. has done for the Japanese,
said Fumi Uchida '20, is to start an In-
ternational Friendship Society to help
establish better relations between the
United States and Japan. This society
provides club houses at which Japanese
girls may stay when they first come to
this country and dormitories in Japan for
students who have no place to go. Miss
Grace Dedman of Edinburgh University
told of the problems and activity of the
Christian Association there.

Mile. Sturm described a French Uni-
versity’s connection with the World Stu-
dent Federation, and Miss Neterer told
about the C. A. at Mills College, the only
women’s college on the Pacific coast.
Mt. Holyoke still belongs to the Y. W.
C. A. but all the students who are not
members of evangelical churches can
only be associate members, said Miss
Allard in telling about the C. A. there.



"_ An earlier issue of the News acknowl

edged the hearty co-operation ef manu-
facturers in New England. In New
Haven, during the summer, a student
writes:



“Co-operation was wesicdieasten and
complete at the Winchester Repeating
Arms Company. Appreciating the need
for as broad experience as possible, the
Personnel Superintendent and his asso-
ciates were at considerable pains to pre-
pare a schedule for our work there, which
included two offices and six shops; ap-
preciating the need for as thorough
knowledge as possible, they trained us in
the actual duties of the Employment and
Service offices, having infinite pains with
our Many questions, which extended be-
yond the mere doing of the task to the
reasons for it. The time of important
officials and clerks was given to explain
departments and policies, to discuss prob-
lems, and to warn us of pitfalls.

“Such a realization of our seriousness
of purpose was a source of keen pride to
me, as was also the great confidence with
which we were treated. No one, from the
lowest clerk up, considered any question
we wished to ask impertinent; the poli-
cies of the company were explained and
discussed as freely as if we had been
given a permanent seat in the organiza-
tion itself; we were sent to the most
troublesome shops to get real conditions
for ourselves with no tipping of foremen
for special treatment.

“It was an unusual opportunity, indeed,
to be taken into the confidence of a com-
pany wrestling with all the problems of
great and rapid expansion under war
pressure; of handling and disciplining an
army of 20,000 workers; of trying to win
back employees without resorting to the
great wage increase common in war in-
dustry; of keeping down the insatiable
monster, labor turnover; of fitting as
well as might be the worker to his task;
of putting the human touch into the work.
For these opportunties and the courtesy
with which they were explained, I have
not words strong enough to express my
appreciation, I got the real thing and
not a window-dressing.”

Equally hearty co-operation has been
accorded in Philadelphia and surround-
ing suburbs. Many firms are already co-
operating with us. The only reason why
others are not included in the list is that
there were not more of us to go round.
Every firm to whom the problem of train-
ing a student has been presented, offered
to assist us either with experience on
Mondays or Observation Trips on Thurs-
days. The following firms and offices
have provided training:

The American Pulley Company.

The Atlantic Refining Company.

The Barrett Company.

Bell Telephone Company.

Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Com-
pany.

A. M. Collins Company.

Curtis Publishing Company.

Henry Disston & Sons Company.

of his first glimpse of the shore of

enced, was floating toward me; and tak-
ing a volume of modern English poetry

Mr. Nichols will have an article enti-
tled “That Damned Englishman” in one

Many Firms Co-operate to Make Indus-
trial Course Successful

(Continued from page 2.)

Many other firms have offered oppor-
tunities of observation and will be visited
and announced later.

In entering the field of Employment
Management, we are not only aiming to
know and to stand for the best practice
already set by the Employment. Mana-
gers, but we are dependent upon the wise
supervision and experience of these ex-
ecutives. When a few years ago monthly
meetings made known to the country the
existence of a new profession—a profes-
sion which aimed to reduce the number
of industrial misfits by recognizing that
a man on an unsuitable task is working
at a disadvantage, both to himself and to
the organization—many industries awak-
ened for the first time to the need of a
centralized labor policy. Few realized
how comprehensive was the problem.
Studying the conditions of a job, as well
as the fitness of a man, means making
use of the research of experts, both in
psychology, medicine and engineering.
Transferring misplaced workers realizing
that while the old employee had faults,
the new one will have others, and these
are unknown, implies interesting all fore-
men and minor executives in retaining
present employees in the organization.
Keeping the man on the job, compels a
policy of promotion, as well as a knowl-
edge of causes of absenteeism, home, and
housing conditions. Retaining satisfied
employees means providing a suggestion
system to get their ideas to the manage-
ment, hearing their complaints, and meet-
ing their leaders in the adjustment of
grievances.

The employment manager cannot alone
care for all these activities. What he can
do is to co-ordinate the work of labor
management. To provide trained women
for this work of co-ordination is the aim
of the Bryn Mawr course. Such train-
ing cannot be the work of one or two
persons, but demands the all-together of
a corps of experts in the fields of Govern-
ment, Economics, Psychology, Sociology
and Education, combined with the experi-
ence of Industrial Physicians, Safety and
Sanitary Engineers, as well as Employ-
ment Managers.

The work which the Y. W. C. A. under-
took throughout the war in its Bureau of
Industrial Supervision made plain to that
organization the need of more specializa-

tion for women directing employees. It
was logical to secure from Bryn Mawr.
with its Department of Industrial and
Social Research, an expansion of its
training to include employment problems.
The courses were made possible by the
scholarships and financing of the Y. W.
C. A.

RECONSTRUCTION . TALKS TO BE
GIVEN AFTER MID-YEARS

A series of talks on Reconstruction,
mostly by students, will be given on
Wednesday evenings after mid-years,
under the Bible and Mission Study Com-
mittee of the Christian Association. The
lectures will be based on a course given
last summer at Silver Bay, by Dr. Gilkey.
His notes will be used.

The program now planned is: D. Cham-
bers 19, “The Church of the Future”; M.
Carey '20, “Reconstructing Government”;

last week's issue of the News, which con-
tained the account of the rally.
‘Lieutenant Kersley says, “I have been
considering some of my utterances on
Saturday evening last, when I was ac-
corded the great honour and privilege of
visiting your dear old college, and I feel
that I may have been misunderstood.
“After Miss Taft had spoken and paid

such a fine tribute to the British I was so

touched by her remarks as to how Amer-
ica. was now understanding Britain and
how you would love us in the future, that
I had to entirely change my address, and
endeavour to express my feelings of
thankfulness.

“Since I have been in America I have
_ | learned to love the people and country to

such an extent that I cannot but feel it
my duty in the future to do all in my
power to help my brethren over the

water realize what you are to us, and if I

said anything that wasn’t clear on Satur-
day evening I trust I will be forgiven, be-
cause my remarks were spontaneous.

For instance, when I stated we should
not send food to Germany I meant, we
should not even consider sending food to
Germany before we had fed the other na-
tions, France, Belgium, Servia, Roumania
and others, and then we could consider
feeding Germany when we had found out
whether it was true that she did really
need help and also whether she needed
help more than Italy and Russia. That is
my idea, but I know I did not make it
plain on Saturday, when speaking.

“I again state that Britain can* never
agree to a League of Nations if Germany
is included, firstly, because Germany can-
not be trusted because a contract with her
signature on it is only a scrap of paper,
and also Germany is not repentant and
does not now consider she is beaten. Un-
til Germany becomes civilized (at present
she is barbaric) we civilized people can
never hold her hand.”

PLANS AS TO RELATIONS WITH *
CONSUMERS’ LEAGUE CHANGED



Will Not Be a Bryn Mawr Chapter

Contrary to all previous plans, Bryn
Mawr will not have a Consumers’ League
chapter. Instead, the college’s connec-
tion with the Consumers’ League will be
governed by one of three plans, worked
out by the Christian Association Board
and the chairman of the Social Service
Committee, which will be voted on by the
Christian Association at a future meet-
ing. The plans are:

(1) To be connected with the Consum-
ers’ League in the same way that the
Christian Association is connected with
the I. C. S. A.—that is, by giving an an-
nual lump sum from the C. A. Budget.

(2) Not to establish any financial con-
nection, but to embody it in the policy
of the Social Service Committee to in-
vite each year one speaker from the Con-
sumers’ League to keep the College in-
formed of its work.

(8) To take no official action, but to
encourage students to belong as_ indi-
viduals in their home communities.

Swimming News

The swimming meets have been post-
poned until February.

At the time of Freshman authorizations
after Christmas members of 1922 will be
tried out for medals as well as for author-
ization.

During the swimming season Mr.
Bishop will give free lessons to advanced
swimmers and divers, and Miss Kirk will
teach elementary diving as well as
swimming.

A Booby Swimming Meet will be held
January 11th.

MENTION “THE COLLEGE NEWS”



the War Service Conference held at Vas
sar last spring. The agreement was to

|exchange reports on war work in Decem-
ber, March and June. The following are
summaries of the reports of the seven
War. Council committees:

Red Cross and Allied Relief Department
The Red Cross and Allied Relief De-

partment could not begin until] November |

on account of the influenza. $8500 was
voted upon early in November as the col-
lege Service Corps’ quota for the first se-
mester, (The time limit has since been
extended until June.) $4122 has been
pledged by the four classes, leaving $4357
to be raised by the classes, faculty and
varsity. $1906 was raised for the Five
Counties War Chest.

The Red Cross Work Room has been
given over to Reclamation and Comfort
Kits Departments. The average attend-
ance has been 35 a day, total 732. 350
comifort kits were filled, 192 garments
were mended and 225 socks were darned.
Three knitting machines, running five
nights a week, have turned out 45 pairs
of socks. Many pairs of hand-knitted
socks have been turned into the depart-
ment. The Wool Department reported a
handicap on account of lack of wool.

Liberty Loan Committee

The college Liberty Loan campaign
was limited to the last ten days of the
National Campaign from October 11th to
the 19th, on account of the epidemic. The
college more than doubled its quota of
$25,000, raising $58,700 through 367 sub-
seribers, $161.25 has been raised by the
committee since then by a sale of thrift
and war saving stamps.

Food Production Department

The workers at the Bryn Mawr Farm
have averaged 40 on Saturdays and 6 to 8
daily. The workers were partly volun-
teers and partly obtained through self-
imposed conscription and were unpaid.
Vegetables have been gathered, packed
and driven to the campus. Some were
distributed for immediate use and some
were buried for winter use.

Food Conservation Department
The Food Conservation Committee has
endeavored to regulate public opinion
through articles and posters. It controls
the sale of food on the campus.

Education Department

The Education Department has aided
the office in assigning dates to the differ-
ent clubs and classes in order to avoid
confusion and crowding of dates for out-
side speakers. The department has one
date a semester for the benefit of the
Service Corps.

Maintaining Existing Social Agencies

About sixty students are registered
with the Social Service Committee for
work at the Community Center. More
than a hundred helped with the cleaning
of an unused hotel, which was converted
into an influenza hospital during the epi-
demic. Bates House had the best sum-
mer ever known at Long Branch. $3142
has been pledged by the 354 members of
the Christian Association for work in
China, Japan, Switzerland and toward the
support of Bates House.

Conscription

The Conscription Board appointed last
May, when 4 hours a week of war work
were decided on, was successful in carry-
ing out its duties. The system of posting
the names of the students who failed to
carry out the requirements on a “black
list” was adopted. With the signing of
the armistice, conscription was given up
and methods for voluntary work are be-
ing tried, in order to have a less abnor-
mal and strained atmosphere.

MISS SMITH STRESSES COMMUNITY
WORK, AT SOCIAL SERVICE TEA



“To express not only herself but her
community, is the duty of the college
girl,” said Miss Mary Gove Smith, telling
of the value of the Intercollegiate Com-
munity Service Association, at a tea
given by the Social Service Committee
last Saturday. College girls’ brains are
needed, first in work like that’ at the
Community Center, and later, in recon-
struction, to save the country from revo-
lution.

Smith College, Miss Smith told, will
open a Community House after Christ-
mas. It is hoped that when it is running
on a sufficiently organized basis, the work
will count for academic credit.

Miss Smith, organizing secretary of the
I. C. S. A., was an I. C. S. A. Fellow. She
worked for eight years at Dennison
House, Boston, and, according to Miss
Kingsbury, has done “phenomenal work”
among the Italians.

Miss Kingsbury told briefly of the I. C.
S. A. Committee for Reconstruction work
abroad. The committee has been respon-
sible for obtaining directly for the Red
Cross and Y. M. C. A. 235 women for
overseas service.



Miss Kingsbury gave a reception for
Miss Smith Sunday afternoon.



IAN HAY TO SPEAK JANUARY 11

Major Ian Hay Beith has been defi-
nitely secured by 1920 to speak here on
January 11th, for the benefit of the Serv-
ice Corps. He will be entertained at tea
by the Seniors, and at dinner by the
Juniors.

Major Beith arrived on the Mauretania

December, he has been at the front with
the British Staff.

THE SMITH ‘SUMMER SCHOOL FOR
PSYCHIATRIC SOCIAL WORK
(Contributed by A. Humphrey '15)

Last summer at Smith College there
was held a War Emergency Course for
the preparation of psychiatric social
workers to assist in the rehabilitation of
soldiers suffering from the war neuroses
—or so-called “shell-shock.” The course
was given under the auspices of the Na-
tional Committee for Mental Hygiene
through the following special committee:

Dr. E. E. Southard (chairman), of Bos-
ton; Dr. William L. Russell, of New
York; Dr. L. Pierce L. Clark, of New
Cork; Dr. Walter E. Fernald, of Waverly,
Mass.; President William A. Neilson, of
Smith College.

Miss Mary C. Jarrett, of the Boston
Psychopathic Hospital, was the director.
The school aimed to meet what was felt
to be a growing need of such workers in
the reconstruction work during and after
che war. The completed course will con-
sist of the eight weeks’ academic work at
Northampton, followed by six months’
practical experience in social work with
psychopathic individuals. This practice
work is being done in various centers,
notably Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore. During the eight weeks’
academic work the school was given: a
special course in sociology, including
methods of social case work, by Dr.
Chapin, of Smith College; a course in psy-
chology by Dr. Rogers, of Smith, and in
mental tests by Dr. Clark, of Smith; and
& course in psychiatry under the direction
of Dr. Spaulding, of Bedford Hills, given
in the form of lectures by eminent psychi-
atists from various parts of this country
and from Canada. These lectures in-
sluded descriptions of methods now being
ised in the army at home and abroad and
plans for the future. The Northampton
school, of whom 35 were rejected; 68
3tate Hospital put its facilities at the dis-
2osal of the school for clinics throughout
‘he summer.

The course was open to college grad-
1ates or women having equivalent tech-
ical training. One hundred and thirty-
xix persons applied for admission to the
was the number with which the school
ypened. Five of this number dropped out
vefore the completion of the course, two
were advised not to take the practical
work and three failed to come up to the
passing grade. Ten who had, before com-
‘ng to the school, done the necessary
practical work, received the certificate of
sraduation; one who is already em-
ployed was granted the privilege of post-
poning her practical work. The remain-
ing 47 were placed in hospitals at the
above-mentioned centers for their six
months’ practical training.

Six Attend from Bryn Mawr

The ages of those who took the course
ranged from 19 to 46. Forty-three were
college graduates, of whom two had taken
an A.M. and one a Ph.D. in psychology.
Many of them had had experience in so-
cial work or in hospital; three were grad-
uate nurses; two librarians and 12 teach-
ers. Twenty colleges were represented
by the group: Barnard, Brown, six from
Bryn Mawr, Columbia, Cornell, Goucher,
Leland Stanford, Oberlin, Smith, Sim-
mons, Vassar, Wellesley and the Univer-
sities of California, Ilinois, Iowa, Ken-
tucky, Michigan, Ottawa, St. Lawrence,
Minnesota and Wisconsin.

At the end of the summer the school
was incorporated into an alumne a580-

ciation.
Alice Humphrey "15.



il ace Dor-
othy Child ’10, and Frances Ferris ex-’09, |

were the speakers at the annual meeting

of the Philadelphia Branch of the: Alum-|

ne Association on Saturday.

Dr. Child described some of her expe-| large.

riences in the children’s dispensary of a
Red Cross hospital at Evian-les-Bains,
where she has been examining child refu-
gees returning through Switzerland. The
French are being trained to go on with
the work when the Americans withdraw,
Dr. Child stated. Frances Ferris told of
evacuating towns near the firing line,
which was one of the tasks of the
Friends’ Reconstruction Unit.

The outlook of the Service Corps was
portrayed by Miss Marion Reilly, chair-
man of the Administrative Committee,
who reported $8000 in the treasury and
the prospect of a number of reconstruc-
tion workers to be added, some time be-
fore Easter, to the 14 Service Corps mem-
bers already in the field.

President Thomas told of reports that
had come back to her of the Service
Corps workers and spoke of the organi-
zation of the Alumnew Association and of
Mrs. Sage’s legacy to the college. Mme.
Riviére spoke in French on the work of
French women in the war.

Miss Hawkins told of the second Bryn
Mawr farm—“less spectacular than the
first, but in many ways more successful.”



XMAS TREE AND PARTIES AT
THE COMMUNITY CENTER



Reading Contest Among the Children

Christmas will be celebrated at the
Community Center with three parties
during New Year’s week, and the Com-
munity Tree, to be lighted in the Park on
December 26th. Help is needed in the
parties and in trimming the tree at the
Center from anyone spending the holi-
days in Bryn Mawr.

A children’s book contest has begun at
the Milestone Library, offering a colored
star for each standard book read, and a
prize for the completion of a required
list. H. Riggs ’21 has made out the lists,
and started the contest by reading bits
aloud.

Books are wanted for the library, espe-
cially Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Finn, George Eliot’s Mill on
the Floss, Kipling’s Captains Courage-
ous, Kim, or other stories, Louisa Alcott’s
Stories, and Longfellow’s Poems.

Dramatics classes, dressmaking, and
Red Cross work have started for older
girls at the Milestone on Wednesday
evenings. Basketball, folk-dancing, and
gymnastic classes are held at the Center.

Mme. Claude Riviere spoke at a meet-
ing of the Community French Club on
Tuesday.

The first Community Center Confer-
ence was held a week ago. Books rec-
ommended for workers have been placed
on the reserve shelves. A list of other
‘equired conferences will be posted on
the C. A. bulletin board.

LIBRARY REGISTERS GREAT Loss
OF BOOKS DURING THE
PAST YEAR



Contains Now Over 80,000 Volumes

The answer to the tourist’s stock ques-
tion, “How many books are there in the
Bryn Mawr Library?” is 86,709, according
to the annual report of Miss Reed, the
Librarian. Over $5000 has been spent in
books in the past year, and 267 books
have been lost, a greater number than
in any preceding year.

Books on Literature, Social Economy
and Education, and Philosophy and Psy-
chology have been in the most demand.
The circulation has been 24,000. Of these
books 54 per cent were borrowed by stu-
dents, 23 per cent by faculty and staff,
and 23 per cent in the Reserve Room.

Varied Christmas Activities
(Continued from page 1.)

Pembroke gave a royal welcome at its
dance to both Merion and Radnor. The
specialty of the evening was an original
“feet pantomime” by 1922, “The Hare, the
Tortoise, and Miss Mabel,” emotionally
acted by feet beneath a curtain. The
dance was managed by K. Walker ’21.

Merion gaiety took the forni of a Thé
Dansant in the afternoon, with entertain-
ment offered by 1921 in a skating dance,
and 1922 in a cave drama, “Nifty Nicky:
or a Romance of the Nut Age.” In Rad-
nor, the Yule-log burned again, and the
Boar’s Head chorus was sung. Speeches,
with M. Goggin as toastmistress, added
spirit to the dinner. T. James '20 man-
aged the festivities, and L. Reinhardt ’21
was song leader.

AVIATORS COME TO BRYN MAWR TO
-STUDY EYE-TESTING APPARATUS -

Two aviation officers, sent here from
Mineola, have been receiving instruction
in the Psychology Laboratory, in the use
of the apparatus devised by Dr. Ferree
for testing aviators as to the speed of
adjustment of their eyes for clear seeing
at different distances. They are Major
W. B. Lancaster, Commander of the
Ophthalmalogical Division of the Medical
Research Laboratory at Mineola, and
Captain J. M. Wheeler.

Dr. Ferree’s apparatus was sent to
France by the government last summer
for testing aviators as to their daily fit-
ness. A duplicate apparatus is now be-
ing finished for use at Mineola. The new
instrument will not only test the Aviator’s
ability to adjust his eyes for objects at
different distances, but will correlate this
eye reaction with the reaction of the
skeletal muscles by requiring arm and
leg movements similar to those made in
guiding an airplane,

Eye tests are being stressed more and
more as an index of an aviator’s general
condition, Dr. Ferree stated. Many avia-
tors who have been killed are known to
have complained of their eyes before go-
ing up. For this reason the test is im-
portant not only in the selection of
aviators but in the investigation of their
daily condition.

The apparatus will also be used in a
new test which measures the effect of
oxygen poverty (in high altitudes) on the
eye. In this test the subject is placed
inside a bell jar from which the air has
been exhausted to give the effect of an
altitude of 20 or 30 thousand feet.

TALENT SHOWN AT MAIDS’ PARTY

An old song, “Climbing Jacob's Lad-
