CIVILIAN RELIEF CLASS
VISITS REFORMATORY



Will Inspect Other Institutions

Luncheon at Sleighton Farm, the girls’
department of the Glen Mills Reforma-
tory, was last Saturday’s program for
Miss Kingsbury’s Civilian Relief Class.
The class was shown through the build-
ings, and watched the girls at work.

Originally the reformatory was the
House of Refuge, an old school-house in
Philadelphia, surrounded by high fences.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Falconer, of
Chicago, the institution was moved into
the country and run on the cottage plan.

When a girl arrives, she is kept three
months in the strictly supervised Recep-
tion cottage, then transferred to one of
the attractive colonial Honor cottages,
under a system of self-government. Each
cottage is superintended by a young col-
lege graduate. It consists of a living
room, dining-room, kitchen, and individ-
ual bedrooms, all kept in order by the
girls.

Training in housework is given, beside
the regular schooling. Girls work for a
certain length of time in laundry, kitchen,
etc., to prepare for domestic service, or
care of their own homes. Gardening and
farm work are the business of the
summer.

Entertainments, like movies or dramat-
ics, are given in a big assembly hall,
equipped with a stage. On Saturday,
Washington’s birthday, parties were be-
ing planned by different cottages.



Visits to various public institutions
have been planned by Miss Kingsbury for
every Saturday this semester. The class
has already investigated the Philadelphia
Municipal Court and Children’s Detention
Home, and next Saturday will make a
tour of the Charity Organization Building.

SILVER BAY VESPERS PLANNED

Grace Tyler, president of the Vassar
Christian Association 1916-17, and Miss
Le Seur, business manager of last year’s
Conference at Silver Bay, have been
asked to speak on Silver Bay at Vespers
Sunday, April 6th. Miss Tyler is the sis-
ter of K. Tyler '19.

Lantern slides of pictures taken at last
summer’s conference will be shown by
the Religious Meetings Committee. Lists
for all who wish to go to Silver Bay to
sign will be posted the same week. Dele-
gates will be chosen directly after
Easter.

1920 Gives First Class Party

The Juniors gave their first class party
of the year this afternoon on the third
floor of Denbigh. Among the stunts was
an interpretation of “Columbine Awak-
ened by a Kiss,” given by M. R. Brown
and A. Rood and a mute chorus led by I.
Arnold. Music was furnished by the
class orchestra.

The committee in charge of the class
parties is: B. Zilker, chairman; M. Hoag,
M. L. Mall, D. Allen, E. Brace, H. Hum-
phreys and D. Smith.

elon. 3 ‘Larned Professor of American |

| History at Yale. The idea of this work,

new in American historical literature, is
“to present the entire history of our
country in the living form of a series of
short narratives, each having a unity of

real vision of the development of this
country from the beginning to the pres-
ent day.” Ten volumes have already
been published, and the Library will pur-
chase the remaining forty, one by one,
as they are edited. So valuable is this
set that no other library in Philadelphia
is able to buy it at present.

A set of Barrie’s plays, which Scrib-
ner’s is publishing in their first edition,
is being added to the Library a few at
a time. On the shelves now are The
Admirable Crichton, Quality Street, and
Echoes of the War. Other books in the
New Book Room are “The Roll Call,” by
Arnold Bennett, the title of which is mis-
leading, since it is not a war-novel, but
rather a “story of the England of Five
Town's provincialism. and London assur-
ance, blundering towards a great hour of
decision.” (Nation.)

“The Bolsheviki and World Peace,” by
Leon Trotzky, with introduction by Lin-
coln Steffens. “The red leader of the red
wing of the Revolutionary party gives his
views of the war, its causes and effects,
especially upon international Socialism
and the “World Revolution.”

“Anthology of Magazine Verse for
1918,” edited by William Stanley Braith-
waite. According to the Nation, a collec-
tion on a lower level than usual, whose
“romantic poems have a tendency to run
to mere prettiness if they run to any-
thing as respectable.” Mr. Stanley him-
self says: “My purpose, as an innova-
tion, was to make the 1918 anthology as
lyrical as possible to exemplify the qual-
ity of this achievement in current Ameri-
can verse.”

“The German Myth,” by Gustavus
Myers, mentioned by President Thomas
in Chapel because it “proves conclusively,
from official German documents, that
Germany’s claim to ideal social condi-
tions is but a general part of German

propaganda.”
“Another Sheaf,” Galsworthy.
“Oscar Wilde: His Life and Impres-

sions,” by Frank Harris (with Memories
of Oscar Wilde, by Bernard Shaw).

A novelty in the New Book Room is the
shelf full of new books which the mem-
bers of the Reeling and Writhing Club
have placed there for each other’s use.
