LIBERAL CLUB DISCUSSES
BRITISH LABOR PARTY
&
British Labor Party Differs From :
American in Part Taken
by Labor in Politics
CO-OPERATION INCREASES
&
Miss~ Gladys Boone, Secretary “of the
Women’s Trade Union League of Phila-
delphia, led the discussion on the British
Labor Movement at the Liberal Club Meet
ing. last Thursday night.
Three aspects of the British movement
not found in this country are development
of labor’ education, co-operative’ societies,
and Labor’s part in politics. In explaining
the last phase of the labor movement Miss
Boone said that the difference between
American and Engkish trade unions wa®
largely one of background. England is
homogeneous and almost completely indus-
trial ; here the labor party would have to
include the farmers. In the eighties of the
last century, the trade unions elected their
first representatives to Parliament, Alex-
ander- MacDonald and Thomas Burt. The
unions began in a’small way, content to
elect a few at a time and satisfied that
their representatives should not be called.
definitely labor men. In America the labor
party wants -to start by electing a president
of the United States. The labor represen-
tation grew until 1906 when they felt they
should have a definite name and called
themselves the Labor party. At each elec-
tion there was a slow growth until before
war there were thirty or forty Labor rep-
resentatives. During the war Labor held a
pacifist position. The election held ~ by
Lloyd George on the issue “Make Germany
Pay” in 1918 resulted in fifty-nine members
for Labor. Up to this tinte membership in
the party had been open only to union
members but in 1918 it was opened :.to all
workers of hand and brain. The fact that
the intellectuals have played such a part
in the movement means that the Labor
party ‘can call on a useful wealth of ex-
perience and knowledge. As a result, the
. Labor’ party in England is less conservative
than a purely workers’ party.
Workers’ education was the next subject
discussed. Until the twentieth century the
only act applying to all children made edu-
cation compulsory to the age of eleven. In
1918 it was made compulsory to the age of
fourteen. Some years ago Oxford and
Cambridge began giving extension courses,
sending lecturers to all districts. to hold
classes. Some of the. workingmen who
‘had been attending these lectures said that
they did not think that they were doing
any work.’ They suggested smaller classes.
Out of this grew up the Workers’ Educa-
tional Association which has spread all
over the country. The first things inaugu-
rated’ were. tutorial classes which the
people were made to promise to attend for
two hours a week for three years, doing
some reading and some writing each week.
Classes studied economics, social and in-
dustrial history and philosophy. When the
workers realized their need of trained
teachers they “applied to the universities.
Since England recognizes the fact of class
distinctions, the English laborer admits that
“the intellectual has a contribution to give
a
- to the labor movement if the latter will
accept ‘it. His English conception of de-
mocracy is functional, whereas ours is ega-
-litarian, every man held to be as good as
_ every other.
_ *~ *Finally Miss Boone explained the co-
4 operative movement. In the middle of the
Jast century the workers wanted to help|
themselves from the consumers’ standpoint. |
DR. E. C. LINDEMAN SPEAKS ON
STUDENT AND SOCIAL WORK
Scientific Conception of Social Service
is Essential, He Says
a
“The Student and His Relation to Mod-
ern Society” was the subject of #n infor-
mal lecture given by Dr. C. E. Lindeman
in Denbigh last Monday night under the
auspices of the Social Service*Committee.
New Republic, ¢
Since the war, said Doctor Lindeman,
young people have been between two con-
flicting views, one that sees’ some good: in
social service work and another that sees
positive harm. ‘Although just before the
war a large mumber-of young people went
into activities of reform and cases of mal-
adjustment, there now seems to be a gen-
eral disillusionment about such activities.
He mentioned the case of a friend of his,
once a, reformer, who recently wrote a
hook entitled The Immorality of Social
Work, because he felt that in dealing with
small problems one was making people
less- revolutionary and so defeating real
progress. The trouble with the revolu-
tionary is that to him nothing seems worth
doing; he is without any concept of what
is valuable. Unless we are careful we will
drop from idealism. to such hopeless
cynicism” and lose sight of the creative

ROBIN HOOD FOUNDED ON OLD
_ ENGLISH PLAYS AND BALLADS
May Queen Was Not Always Maid Marian
—Present Play by Miss Daly
»
Robin Hood, which will given,
usual, on May Day, is founded on several
old English plays and ballads.
Two plays by Anthony Munday, 7he
Downfall of the Earl of Huntingdon, after\,
ward called Robin Hood of Merry Sher-
wodde, and the Death of the Earl of Hunt-
ingdon, both acted in 1597, as well as Georg-'
A-Green the Pinnér of Wakefield,’ by
Robert Greene, acted in 1593, and the nu-
merous Robin Hood ballads, furnished the"
material for the play given here.
Robin Hood has been given in Some form
ever since the first May Day, and in sub
stantially the present form since 1910. Thi:
year it is the same as in 1920. The familiar
and popular incidents and characters from
all the above sources were. put into onc
play by Miss Elizabeth Daly, 1901, whe
directed May Day several times. Thus. the
play includes the incidents connected with
Friar Tuck, Alan-a-Dale, Will Scarlet, and
also Maid Marian. The latter does not
figure in the early Robin Hood ballads, but
is an interpolation by later. authors.

did not take the part of Maid Marian, but
ever since then the two parts have been

MR. VAN’ DUSEN PREACHES
IN SUNDAY CHAPEL
Stresses Need For Religion as
Well as Ethics To-Day
Chapel was led last Sunday evening by
Mr. Henry P. Van Dusen, assistant to Dr.
Henry Sloane Coffin, at the Madison Ave-
nue Presbyterian Church and student at the
Union Theological. Seminary.
“Today,” said Mr. Van Dusen, “people
are turning from the religion of Jesus to
His ethics. The disillusionment caused by
war is responsible for this and for our
feeling of the unreality of church and fife
organization. The agnosticism so. widely
practiced — for the sluggish ‘of mind.
‘Ethics may satisfy the man content with.
immediate success and regardless of a black
future, but only religion meaning faith
in God. will satisfy his intelligence and
supply him with a moral dynamic. In
Jesus, whose thought centered around the
word “Father,” ethics cannot be divorced
from religion, and in us impurity of heart,
not intellect, is the chief obstacle to faith.
Only he who shares the funddmental
purpose of life that is love, can compre-
hend the meaning -of life. The faith in
God that is also faith in man, is a moral
challenge to have done with pride, ambi-
tion, and selfishness; and the key to the
knowledge that ‘God ‘has made’ us for
Himself,’”’ .

PRINCETON HONORS WILSON
FORMER MEMBER OF FACULTY
Hibben and Others. _Pay Tribute at
Memoria! Services
From the New York Tins
“All Princeton gathered yesterday to
honor the passing of a leader and to pay
tribute to the memory of Woodrow Wilson,
the university’s most distinguished alumnus.
Townspeople, students, friends and asso-
ciates of the days when the late President
presided over life on ‘the Mimpus, crowded
into Alexander Hall this afternoon and}
joined in a simple service of high tribute
“John Grier Hibben, president of the uni-
versity, praised the great work of the war
President. ‘His public service to the-State,
to the nation and to the world will be com-
memorated on many other occasions,’ he
said. ‘Here it is fitting that the university,
pausing in her busy activities, should bear
record of her debt of obligation to her dis-
tinguished son. Our thoughts turn instinc-
tively to a past intimately associated with
the name and personality of Woodrow
Wilson.’
“Recalling Woodrow Wilson as_ the
teacher, President Hibben said: ‘The teach-
ing function was never regarded by him
as drudgery but rath@r as an adventure,

Given his power of lucid exposition, his
wide range of intellectual interests, his
knowledge of the Beauty “and power of the
English tongue, of which he was ggomplete
master, add to this the charm of /his. bril-

nent part Woodrow Wilson took in the
councils of the faculty, and named the in-

VERS LIBRE DISCUSSED
BY MISS AMY: LOWELL
Strong Opposition First Excited
Caused by New Point of View
and Not by Change in Form °
READS FROM OWN WORKS
»
Miss Amy Lowell gave a short address
and reading of,.some of her. poems before
a large audience in Taylor Half last Friday
night.
Beginning with an account of the growth
and interest in poetry in America, Miss
Lowell explained that in 1912 a new type
i poctry, tinlike that which had preceded
it, appeared in this country; with Robert
Frost, Vachel Lindsay and Miss Lowell
among its exponents: ‘These poets started
writing more or less at the same time, but
were at first perfectly separate. The move-
ment was aided by Miss Harriet Munroe,
who started a magazine, the first of its
kind, which was: to publish nothing but
poetry.. The object of this magazine was
to give the young poets an opportunity of
reaching the public. The type Of verse
which these people wrote was not new.
Milton used it in Samson Agonistes; about
1880 the French took if up, Walt Whitman
following. later, only instead of calling it.
cadence verse they called it vers libre.
When vers libre was written in America
it appeared print\d in a block, -a form
which was difficult and believed to be the
cause of the strong position excited by the
poetry. According to Miss Lowell it was
not the modern form which was upsetting
but the subject matter itself and the rather
different point of view presented by the
young poets. The readers were disturbed
by the new set of ideas rather than the
form, which is merely the art used by a
poet to give them his ‘emotions and im-
pressions. Edward Robinson and Robert
Frost, who were among the foremost: in
the movement, wrote in rhymed verse.
As a reaction against the schdtl of vers
libre another distinct movement has arisen.
Miss Lowell citing her own school as ‘mas-
culine, writing on a large, vigorous scale,
contrasted with it the new lyricist group
which .writes in gentle, conventional form,
doing what it does beautifully but very
limited in subject. miatter. Edng St. Vin-
cent Milay is one of its most important
and best writers. There is another group
of young poets who go to extremes. As
the radicals of the day they chop their
poems into pieces.. While yet another group
of poets appearing mostly in small maga-
zines, take a mathematical point of view
of poetry.
In reading her poenis Miss Lowell began
with seven short cadence verse poems. Next
followed The Enchanted Castle, a poem fas
the Edgar Allan Poe Anthology. She also
read two poems recently composed_on John
Keats and Patterns, at the request of her
audience.
An informal reception for Miss Lowell
was held in Denbigh sitting room after the
lecture.

WANTED AND NEEDED—
' AN OPEN MIND
In the School of Education in the Uni-
an instiffition,
which admits colored girls, an attempt is
versity of Pennsylvania,
being made to solve the problem of the
differences between the two races. A com-
mission of five white and five colored gifls
is in existence (at the time of writing it
has not yet: met) .which will talk over -the
ways of resolving the difficulties between
them. But already the colored girls are
finding that some of the white girls have
come together and decided that the negro
race is inferior, more immoral than the
white race, and that th@y are unwilling to
treat the negro students on the same basis
as they would each other. It would seem
that these girls are thus doing their best
to defeat the commission at the very start
of its work, for the essential basis of such
a body would certainly need to be fair and
open-minded. That, of course, is of all
things hardest to obtain. But in any
question of race in American colleges, the
white students as the more numerous and
‘more powerful group should take the lead
in looking at both sides of the case. Call
it “noblesse oblige,” if you insist on your
superiority, or call it the duty of the ma-
jority, but above all let the white students
. get rid of old prejudices and approach the
subject in as unbiased a way as possible.
If they can do this the Pennsylvania com-
mission and the coming student interracial
‘conference may bring to each side a fuller
realization of the problems of the other
_Tace.
EUREKA!
We will shortly be in a position to re-
“fute triumphantly the many accusations of
. college narrowness and lack of interest in
outside affairs.
_We hail with joy the re-
instatement of Dr.. Fenwick’s lectures on
Current Events. We will go in force; we
will silence these .cavillers. (who seldom |
read the. paper themselves, we believe), and
we will emerge from college with an in-

UTILITY FIRST
Miscenception still exists and appears in
the most unexpected places with regard to
the real purpose and use of the Student
Building. Its-main purpose,..as. the Com-
mittee sees it, is to previde an auditorium
where class plays may be given and outside
lectures held. Until a chapel is built it
rwould also probably serve for Sunday night
chapel and go far. to relieve the present
congestion in Taylor. All these things have
been. explained many times and, yet there
are still some who object’ to the planning
of such a. building, feeling that its purpose
is to be merely a “lounging center.” Such
a plan is farthest’ removed from the policy
of the Alumnae Association and Under-
graduate Committee.

NEWS FROM OTHER’ COLLEGES
The: class ‘Of 1927 at Vassar has estab-
lished a -good\\record in their academi
work. According to Dean Thompson the
most interesting and encouraging fact was
that ne Freshmen wére requested to with-
fdraw as a result of failing three subjects.
No exception is taken to this rule of with-
drawal: upon failure in three courses, and
so far as I know, this is the first time that
no Freshmen: have been obliged to’ leave at
the end of the first semester. The list of
deficiencies is shorter than ever before—
an evidence of better work. ;
The Gloucester School of the Little The-
atre, Gloucester, Mass., is offering two
scholarships to undergraduates of Amer-
ican schools and colleges for its fifth sum-
mer session, July and August of 1924.
A plan has recently been drawn up and
passed by the Athletic Association Board
for the introduction of intercollegiate ath-
letics in Wellesley. The student body will
be asked to vote on this plan, which, if it
is approved,‘ will go before the Academic
Council for final vote. The plan is as
follows:
—To. have. inter- class intercollegiate ath-
letics. .
—To -play with those women colleges
which are not far from Wellesley. Those
colleges which have already signified their
willingness to compete with Wellesley. are
Radcliffe, Connecticut College, Wheaton,
‘and in tennis, Mt. Holyoke.
‘-—To hold the competition on two days;
one in the fall and one in the spring. On
each of these days two games will be
played in Wellesley: for example, Welles-
ley Junior basketball team. will play ayainst’
Connecticut College basketball team, and
the Radcliffe Senior hockey team, will play
against Wellesley Senior hockey team,
while on this same day Wellesley will send
out two class teams (Sophomore basketball
and Freshman hockey team) to play against
those respective teams of Connecticut Col-
lege and Radcliffe. Then again in the
spring, competition will be held in the same
manner as before -with those colleges which
will be able to play with Wellesley. Possi-
bly three games might be played in the
spring, a third being a tennis game with
Mt. Holyoke.
—The ‘classes which are to. represent
Wellesley in the sports are to be deter-
mined ‘by a plan of rotation so that each
class will be represented .gither in the time
of one college year or in two years.
—Expenses involved in sending away the
‘Wellesley teams will be met in the sale of’
food and programs on the day of the com-
petition in Wellesley and by a slight in-
creasé in Athletic Association voluntary
dues.
—College coaches will act as referees.
—Rules, training, call-outs, etc., will re-
main as they are at present.
The Wheaton basketball team recently
played the University of Brown.
At a meeting of the Executive Commit-
tee of the National Student Forum, Sun-
day, February 3, plans were begun for a
student camp for next summer. The same
general scheme as that of the Colony at
Woodstock last summer will be followed,
but the discussion program will be some-
what different.
The Student Curriculum Committee, Vas-
sar, is instituting a series of lectures to
clarify ideas on education. The lectures
will be informal talks given by members
of the faculty.and* sang followed by dis-"
cussion from the floo he general sub-
jects discussed will be scholarship, the pur-
pose of a college, graduate. study, -honor
courses, and European and American

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM
* Fancies versus Fads; .G. K: Chesterton. —
We may imagine .Mr. Chesterton sunk in
an armchair allowing his mind to wander
unrestrained over each momént’s sugges-
tion.. His mood is one of comfortable and
dignified playfulness that infects the reacer
as he begins with any paragraph.
This faculty for making points inde-
pendently of what has gone before is the
book’s chief. characteristic. The author
expresses himself in little units of thought
hung loosely and separately from a thread
of general conservatism. He himself says,
in the introduction, that “these notes con-
cerning all sorts of things, from lady bar-
risters to cave men, and ftom psycho-
analysis to free verse, have that amount
of unity in their wandering that they imply
it is only a more traditiénal spirit that is
truly able to wander.” ‘
With this gentle battle cry, Mr. Cltester=
ton empties a quiverful of arrows at. every
shot. One arrow always hits the central
point and the others cluster around it,
marking connected points as though by
chance. But none of the arrows strike
deep.

after a quick succession of volleys, emerges
unfired with the ambitions of a reactionary
crusader,* but with a sense of having been

ulated.

examination. As for me, I should assume
some courage; you know that the timid
accomplish nothing.
Cam. There’s something in what you
say; but fortune isn’t always fair. If I
should be turned down, my master would
ing. I should be so terribly disgraced that J
I ¢ouldn’t look my father and ‘mother ir”
the. face. I should have nothing, and
should be the laughing stock of all.
Bar. But.it isn’t such a serious matter.
Listen to just one word:.If you have
money, you can bestow tokens of honor
and respect on your examiners. In our
age, gifts do much; for: three or four
florins, you'll buy the favor of all.
Cam. Your advice is good. Already I
feel better.
Bar. And you must follow it. If you
want anything from a peasant, you must
first get his goodwill, or your labor is
futile.
Cam. { don’t think I .shall venture in
vain, for,my hands will be full of money.
Bar. Do you remember reading in Ovid:
“Believe me, men and gods with
gifts are pleased;
Even angry Jove with offerings is
appeased”?
Cam, I'll tell my parents to send me
-more money.
Bar. How much did you just get?
Cam. At the last market, the merchants
gave me ten florins. I'll write for. ten
more. Before the examination, I’ll make a
collation (feed) and invite all the masters
whom I ever offended by word or deed,
and I'll set them up handsomely to get
their favor. But. look here, another thing
is bothering my head.
Bar. What's that?
Cam. I haven’t been attending my
classes regularly, and wherever I haven't
been enrolled in lectures and exercises, I
fear I shall get no certificate.
Bar. You'll get it done all right,
your master is obliging, and often gives a
boost to others, when they ask anything
of him. Call your master by name, and
for
if you’ve never been in the lectures. ,
Cam. You encourage me. —But I shall
be perjured!
_ Bar. Every promoted bachelor is per-
jured, and everyone knows that few of the
masters themselves are free from the
disease... :
Cam. I see a merchant to whom
speak. Solong!
“Several ingenuous candidates _ have
confessed, to me that they .never studied
an hour, nor looked into any system of the.
sciences, ‘ti a month before they were. ex-)
amined. How well the examiners perform
their duty, I leave to. God and their own
consciences. . It is also well known to
be a custom tor" the candidates either to’
‘present their examiners with a-piece- of
_ gold, or to give them a handsome entertain-

co
Playing a steady, though individual game,
1924's first team defeated 1925 in the third
game of the sies, 6-0, and won the pre-
liminary contest last. Tuesday night.
At first the passing was ragged. and
neither team showed attacks very well.
The Light Blue team recovered first and
through the clever side passes of B. Tuttle
scored several goals. C. Remak made ex-
cellent stops in the goal.
* During the second half 1925 put up a
stiff fight, managing to play on the offen-
sive for a short time, but failed to score
through the inaccuracy of their shots. K.
Elston and M. Faries made goals through
long shots, thrown almost half the length
of the pool.’ The full backs and the half
passed well to their forwards and at the
same time -combated- any attacks -by the
juine-up.:
1924: M. Faries**, E. Sullivan**, B.
Tuttle, K. Elston**, F.. Begg, E. Howe, K.

IN FIRST OF FINALS
Dark Blue Unable to Break Through}
Light Blue Defense .
The Sophomore first water polo team
was overwhelmingly defeated by the Sen-
iors with a score of 13-0 in the first game
of the finals played last Thursday night.
1924 started out with a rush, M. Bu-
chanan, ’24, passing the ball to B.-“Yuttle,
’24, who shot the first goal. Other goals
by E. Sullivan and B. Tuttle followed in
quick succession... Toward the end of the
first half the Dark Blue team played bet-
ter than at first, but did not organize
enough to shoot. They were unable to
break through the Light Blue defense or to
stop their strong attack during. the second
half. A. Johnston made some good stops
in the goal, but the Seniors were able to
roll up a large score. «
Line-up :
1924: B. Tuttle***, E. Sullivan*****, K.
“Elston***, M. Buchanan**, S. Leewitz, F.

TWO SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED
BY SCHOOL OF LITTLE THEATRE
The Gloucester School of the Little
Theatre, Gloucester, Mass., is offering two
scholarships to undergraduates of Ameri-
can schools and colleges for its fifth sum-
mer session, July and August of 1924.
In their Little Theatre, a picturesque old
, wharf building nestling among the - ship-
yards and studios, the Gloucester Players
last summer produced almost thirty plays
which included such pieces as A Night At
An Inn, Dunsany; Wurzel-Flummery,
Milne; Riders to the Sea, Synge; The Land
of Hearts Desire, Yeats; and Moon Tide,
Clements. The school connected with the
theatre offers courses in stage lighting,
scenery, make-up, dancing, public speaking
and acting. The seven members of the
faculty include: Mrs. Florence Evans, Di-
rector of The Boston School of Public
-Speaking and The Florence Evans Players;
Miss Florence Cunningham, of the Vieux
Colombier and founder of -The Playhouse-
Orf-The-Moors, and Colin Campbell Clem-
ents, who with Edna St.. Vincent: Millay
and Eugene “Neill has been called one
of the founders of a new school of Ameri-
can playwriting.
Letters for informatiofi concerning the
scholarships to the Gloucester School of
the Little Theatre should be addressed to

SECOND. TEAMS
1926 vs. 1927
Playing slowly, but accurately, the Sopho-
more second team defeated the Freshmen
and entered the finals last Tuesday evening
"| by a score of 6-0. “
The Sophomores ralliéd from their de-
feat of the week before and presented an
excellent defense against the rather wild
shooffng of the Freshmen, who were closely
guarded. 1926 .showed more ability in
making their passes efféctive, and were
helped greatly in scoring by the long accu-
rate shots of G. Thomas, ’26, The Green
goal, M. Smith, ’27, prevented more Sopho-
more scoring, by good defense at the end
of the first half. During the second half
playing became faster, but wilder.

In a closely contested game, the de-
cisive game of the preliminaries, the Red
second team triumphed over the Light Blue
| by a score of 3-2 last Tuesday night.
The Juhiors had only:a slight advantage
over the Seniors, who played a strong of-
fensive game. E. Sullivan ’24, invariably
got the ball at the start and: passed it to
F. Begg, ’24, whose long shot$ gave it
to her forwards. The defense of M. Castle-
man, '25, goal prevented scoring, even when
the ball was at that end. . The shooting. of
M. Blumenstock, giving 1925 its score, was
sure, in spite of the good goal defense of
Kk. Connor, ’24. The seeond half was
marked by hard but purposeless playing
as both teams seemed exhausted.
Line-up:

THIRD TEAM
1924 vs. 1926
1924 defeated 1926 by 3-1 in the first
game of the water polo finals, played last
Thursday night.
The playing was slow and marked by
many fouls - throughout the game. The
Seniors formed: their attacks, relying on
M. -Minott, who played. a strong game as
center forward. The Dark Blue team was
forced to play on the defense through the
greater part of the first half. H. Hopkin-
son shot the only ‘goal for her side. Any
further scoring was @revented--by M.
Fisher, Senior goal.
Line-up:
1924—L. Ford**, M. Minott, L. Coffin*,
M. Woodworth, C. Lewis, R. Pearce, M.
Fisher.
1926—B. Rosenau, F. Waite, H. Hopkin-
son*, E. Bostock, M. Spalding, M. Parker,
A. Wilte.
1924’ vs. 1925
Barely defeating the Junior third team
by a score of: 4-3, 1924 won the prelimi-
nary match last Tuesday night.
The Seniors kept the offensive during the
fit half..--M. Blumenstock, who. starred
for her, side, sho@ting its three goals,
played a strong game, covering 1924’s half
back. as well as ‘leading the offensive at-
tacks of her forward line. The deciding
goal of the game was made when M. Wood-
worth, '24;- passed to» M. Minott, ’24, -who
shot back over her head into the Red goal,

possibilities between the extremes of revo-
lution and social work.
The way to keep from doing this is to
have a scientific attitude. One should ask
oneself several questions concerning social
service work, and the first should be, is it
scientific? * Adjustments made scientifically
will not go back, as will those made under
the influence of emotionalism. Social serv-
ice is scientific, providing the motives and
-téchnique back. of it are scientifically con-
ceived. The task is to help others to help
themselves.
a new proposal it must be fastened to and
integrated ‘with the rest of our life. .Stu-
dents have a particular opportunity for
this. The criterion of their work should
be, has the result of their service been an
improved home relation? The point is ,to
work as nature does, not by mass but by
minufe individual adjustments.
*e second question is, would: it oat be
» more honest -to stop people from heing
wealthy than to take it from those who
have it now and give it to those who have
not? The, world will not be cured by big
ideas, but that is no reason for not having
the big ideas. He cited Jane Addams as
a woman who was an international leader
because she knew how ‘to do little jobs.
We do’ things not according to ideals but
according to activities. Why talk: about
democracy if there is no democracy in
your. own family? The third question is,
is social service educative? Wells says
that life is “a race between chaos and edu-
cation.” The British Labor party is an
example of what can be done through
adult education, as is Denmark of the pres-
ent day. In Ameyica we are going to ruin
workers’ education unless much_ scientific
thought is given to it. Try to preserve the
experimental attitude and concentrate on
little things at first. In answer to a ques-
tion, Doctor Lindeman said that he
thought we. should pass from capitalism to
some form of communism through the
medium of the co-operative movement,

SUNDAY BY DR. §. L. TYSON
The Reverend Stewart Lawrence Tyson,
D. D., lecturer and preacher at:the Cathe-
dral of St. John the Divine, will speak in
chapel next Sunday eyening.
Doctor Tyson has been assistant at St.
Paul’s Church, Oxford,..and tutor at Ox-
ford and chaplain at the University of the
South in this country. He is treasurer of
the Tyson Lectureship Foundation, which
is a project “to maké accessible. to men
and women in general the results of the
research of modern scholars into the ori-
gins of the Christian religion and its in-
terpretation particularly in regard to the
Bible.” The plan is to help reconcile Chris-
tian Faith with Modern Science. It is a
modernistic movement. As people are not
interested in what clergymen do not believe,
the purpose of the movement is to make
the’ Christian religion more‘real and vital
to men and women today.
Doctor Tyson has preached at Bryn
Mawr before anc has given leciures under
the auspices of the Christian Association.
