AN ECONOMIC LABORATORY
The full extent of the opportunity off-
ered to undergraduates returning to help
with athletics and music at the Summer
School, for Women Workers in Industry
is hard to judge accurately. It is one re-
served specially for Bryn Mawr, although
interest has been shown by other college
students to attend the school in any ca-
pacity whatsoever. The labor- movement,
with its many difficulties, which we can

only approach in the winter from an -aca-
* demic standpoint, becomes for those at the
Summer School, what it-really is, a living

To the Editor of ‘THE’ CoLi wa Wwe.
Sunday evening service in Chapel is the
occasion for ‘all Students ,in Brya Mawr
to hear very well-known religious speakers,
a French student here has appreciated it
very much. But is it not a pity when one
of these speakers does not speak with im-
partiality on the political questions of the
day? That has happened on Sunday, the
16th, with Dr. Steiner, professor of applied
Christianity at Grinnell College. This seems
painful .to a French student, especially
when during five months here’ she .has
found the nicest hospitality and: under-
standing of the French people. It is really
to be deplored that a speaker from the out-
side, like Dr. Steiner, should come. and
preach hatred against France and what.he
calls the “militarism of France.” Profes-

sor Steiner must not forget that itis -ciff=}

cult “‘to be fair in hatred” as he says, espe-
cially when this hatred is directed against
France, who, always felt such sympathy for
the Americans.

So let us hope that the speakers who will
come in Chapel the next: Sundays will all
know the beauty of love and friendship and
-that they will not allow their personal feel-
ings to be shown in the very middle of a
religious service, in a college which-is so
considerate toward its guests concerning
such difficult questions. ae

Students. “at Bryn Mawr, Dartmouth.

ences, international, industrial, racial and
educational questions. The camp will be
equipped with a small. theatre and work-
shop in which students may on. occasion
present one-act plays. :

Woodstock, N.-¥.,-is in the Catskill
Mountains, fourteen miles from Kingston,
Owing to the limited accommodations of
the. camp, delegates from any one college
-will number from four to eight. Colleges
desiring to send delegates should apply im-
mediately for quotas to The National Stu-
dent Forum, 2929 Broadway, New York
City, reconinending at the time of appli-
cation a local student, agency which will
elect. or appoint delegates. Students may
register from April 1 to May 1, but only
the first 150 registrants can be svesicaed

‘IN. THE NEW BOOK ROOM

Henry Brocken; Walter de la Mare.

Fhe youth Henry Brocken, journeys as
in“a reverie to the land of writers’ imagi-
nation; the land from which a’ writer leads
characters into his books and to which the
characters return after the book is ended.
There we find figures and scenes in earthly
forms, yet so combined or glorified ,or
veiled in the mist of a poet’s vision that
we do not-know whether we have attained
regions above earthly level or sunk to the

hazes of confused and unconscious dreams.

Lucy Gray, Jane Eyre, Herrick’s loves,
Gulliver, the knights-at-arms of La Belle
Dame sans Merci, the nameless doctor in
Macbeth, Annabel Lee, and finally Criseyde
are some of the characters we meet with
the traveller in his wanderings ;’ reaching
them sometimes “at unrecorded moments of
their existence in a book, sometimes’ in
their after-life when the book has closed.
~ Through the course of these encounters,
Mr. de la Mare weaves a beauty of even
richness and mellowness that cloys at-last
for lack of occasional vigor. Though his
languor lightens as in the scene which dis-
covers Macbeth’s doctor leading an incon-
sequent and reminiscent bachelor’s life,
and as in Criseyde’s whimsical words gn
faithfulness: “It is,” she said, “to rise and
never set, O sun of utter weariness. It
is to kindle and never be quenched, O
fretting fire of midsummer! It is to be
snared and always sing, O shrilling bird
of dullness. It is to come, not go; smile
not sigh; wake never sleep: Could’st thou
love so many nots in a silken string ?”
yet his mood falls again to. the wearying

'sweetness of heavily-scented flowers.

For unspoiled pleasure this book should
be tasted at intervals, not absorbed in one
extended feast. Then the unbounded con-
ceptions of a-poet- held by the poet’s power
in words that form strong, though invisible
bars, impress with their full strength. “As
I leaned on ‘my oars in the midst of the
deep sea I seemed to hear as it were the
mighty shout of space.” Then such per-
fection as the chapter on Criseyde glows
undimmed. A perfection of earthly beauty
becomes glusive because spun as the thread
of a poct’s musing.

Tulips and Chinneys; E. E. Cummings.

The Life of Mrs. Humphry Ward; Janet
Penrose Trevelyan.

The daughter of the authoress has writ-

that includes her activities and connections
