27 HOURS AVERAGE PER WEEK



‘
Statistics have been compiled by. the
Curriculum Committee of the Under-

the time spent on preparation of work,

in response to a request made to the
Conmunittee by President Park:
Two surveys-were made,. each for a

period of a week, by means of printed
record slips given to every undergradu-
ate. Upon these the students were asked
to keep a-daily record of the time spent
in preparation of each of their courses
(lectures and laboratory, of course, not
included), listed under headings accord-

CHRIST TAUGHT DISCIPLES BY

Using a story’ that is told by both
Mark and Matthew, Mr. Russell: showed
how Christ taught His disciples by His
sense of humor. This story “setting forth
the Great Lover of mankind” in a
moment of refusal, seems at first to prove
that there was a flaw in Christ’s tender-
ness. But if we examine it carefully, we
find this is not so, .

We can get a more perfect insight
into the story because two versions have
down to us.
in every gletail we might have cause to
doubt their authenticity... Putting the
two together, as we reconstruct it, the
story runs. like this:

“Jesus did not speak to this woman
alone. She followed him through the
streets as he went surrounded by His dis-
ciples. Now, no man likes to be shouted
at in the streets, and the disciples begged
Him to do as she wished. By refusing
he brought the disciples attitude home
to them. For
woman, one whom they would ordinarily
But when they saw their
master doing so, they saw how wrong
they were.

"When He asked the woman if the
dogs ate the children’s food, Christ was
again poking fun at the disciples. Jews
scorned dogs as the lowest of the low,
and the disciples were Jews. But the
woman was a Gentile for whom the dogs
were as much members of the family
as they are for us.”

Morever, Christ did not use the op-
probrious word for dog, but one that
may be translated “wee doggie.”

“In this gently and witty way, He
brings home the great truths of God,
and shows us that there is a place for
a-sense of the fun of things in human
life.”

Anna Louise Strong, at present a
“Guardian” of children’s farms in Russia,
will speak under the auspices of the Lib-

eral Club in Taylor Hall on Friday
evening, March the 5th. Her subject
will be “What’s New About Russia?”

Miss Strong is a good speaker and has
a stimulating message. She is fresh
from four years in Russia, Siberia, China
and Japan. In 1921, under the American
Friends Service, she took the first cars
of foreign food which reached the great
famine on the Volga. For the past three
years she has acted as journalist for
New York Times Magazine, Collipargy
‘Hearst's International, and other -well-
known publications. She is the author of
“The First Time in History,” the story
of the new Russia up to January, 1924.

After graduating from Oberlin and
Chicago University, Miss Strong took
her Ph.D. at the latter institution. She
also spent a year at Bryn Mawr, and
another year studying in Germany. The

WOMEN AND SCIENCE
President Park is the only woman, and
only president of a woman's college repre-
sented in a list of 30 university heads. to
endorse a project promoting scientific re-
search.

To quote the New York World, “Lack of
opportunity for pure scientific research and
not a shortage of skilled investigators is the
chief cause for the condition which threatens
to dry up pure scientific research and
eventually hamper applied science.”

It is this fear that “many factors are
tending to stifle the growth of scientific
investigation in the country” that induced
the presidents to support the National Acad-
emy of Science in its efforts.



“MARCH! MARCH!
APRIL, MAY AND JUNE!”

Enter March, timidly like a little old
lady asking if she will need an umbrella
today—timid but how compelling! On
the campus she is a veritable Pied Piper
of Hamelin. Head your lecture-notes
“March 1”; and soon you will be wander-
ing by moonlight on that traditional path
around the Hockey Fields, lying in the
sunlight in the Cloisters, or sitting at tea
on the terrace of the Inn. Today the folk
are still folk dancing; the Cloister foun-
tain is frozen and Hall tea fights rage.
But already you have been splashing
through the sewers of Gulph road, float-
ing sticks down the driveway to low
buildings and planning the first picnic.
Spring plans have an eternal youth: your
annual Rancocas trip, your Sunday bi-
cycling tour, and the $2 excurision to
Atlantic City—will they ever happen?
Certainly now is the season of the old
Ford, the roaming Dodge; every spare
part is being put into place for the open
road of April. The breeze stirs: the hoops
hanging in the window. Should you not,
like Horace, make sacrifices to sylvan dei-
ties, for a good crop of May-basket
flowers? Soon there will be great re-
~ gearch among old English madrigals for
one that can be produced by squeaking,
sleepy voices .at five of a May morning.
Now you must begin to meditate on the
set, the twilight, and “intolerable beauty”;
for the sonnet of Second Year English
approaches. Do not trust
March!



BOOK REVIEW |

The Hounds of Spring, by Sylvia Thompson.

_ Little, Brown & Co, ,
There is always a temptation in writ-
ing about the war to stress only the fine
things that it brought out in fine people.
Miss Thompson’s novel faces squarely
the fact that for a great many people,
however fine,,the war was a test which
could not be met. The war years were
for those at home especially a time of
doubt and uncertainty; it meant sitting
and waiting ‘for the news you dreaded;
you could try to throw all your energies
_ into’ tending a war garden or nursing,
could never eageed ~ feeling

Old Lady

ry
father° was an Austrian, her mother an

Englishwoman, The war came on Zina
like a thunderbolt from the blue skies
.gf peace; she had nothing to do’with it
and: particular interest in it, yet under
it hers whole ‘life wens to smash. She
stood the strain of the uncertainty and
I the shifting standards of things until her
fiance was reported killed. Life had
always been: extraordinarily easy for her,
and now no experience helped ‘her to
withstand the shock. She drifted aimless-
ly fora year or so, and then, for the sake
of security, of something definite to at-
tach herself to, she married a man for
whom she had no love at all.

After her marriage she began to realize
the enormity of her mistake—even her
child did not help to make her love her
husband. It was only a short time after
her child was born that her old fiance,
Colin, returned from prison camp in Ger-
many. The cleverest point in the book
is here; Miss Thompson does not. show
Zina suddenly, strengthened and deter-
mined to go on with the life she had
chosen. Give her character, and her unity
| with Colin, she could not, and did not, for
a moment’ consider remaining with her
husband, Colin was shocked at the idea
of taking her away from her child; but
for Zina husband and child alike were
part of the nightmare when she had lost
Colin, and now that she had him again
she forgot them completely.

Miss Thompson shows us clearly and
with a master hand the workings of the
minds of Colin and Zina. She makes
them completely human, and not in any
way idealized figures. The inevitable out-
come, unsatisfactory from the point of
view of the school that demands an end-
ing to the plot, whether happy or un-
happy, is the closer to life because of the
sense ‘it gives one of the compromises of
normal human life.

Abraham Lincoln; The—Prairie Years, by
Carl Sandburg Harcourt, Brace and Co.

Critics of literature seem to agree that
in modern times the epic is impossible:
modern history and modern heroes do
not adapt themselves to epic treatment.
And so there has been no medium worthy
the history of a man who, a leader in his
age, was its fullest expression. ° The
treatment of history as a novel, so much
in vogue now, seems to attempt to sup-
ply this medium; but it fails to achieve
the greatness and exalted tone which»the
epic achieved in ancient times.

Mr. Sandburg, it seeths to me, here
bridges the gap between the sustained
poetic height essential to the epic and the
too familiar and individual tone of the
novelist’s history. It is a prose epic of
Lincoln that he gives us, for his book
conveys to us not only Lincoln, but, Lin-
coln’s age, with both the high seriousness
which their greatness demands, and the
occasional amusing and lifelike detail
which is needed to make them real to us.

In his first few chapters Mr. Sandburg
conveys to us a remarkably vivid impres-
sion of the frontier Society in which
Thomas and Nancy Lincoln played their
parts. Both paregts of Lincoln he paints
with a few swift sentences. Thomas
“likes to sit around and have his own
thoughts. He wasn’t exactly lazy; he

| was sort of independent, and liked to be

where he wasn’t interfered with.” Nancy
“carried something strange and cherished
along her ways of life. The hope was
burned deep in her that beyond the harsh
clay paths, the everyday scrubbing, wash-



ing, patching, fixing, the babble and the
gabble of today, there are pastures and
purple valleys of song.”

- With these parents, in green Knob
Creek valley, was spent the childhood of
the “solemn young Lincoln.” Vigorous,
yough, kindly, full of salt, was the frontier

d old eS — — ti

Lincoln early developed those charac-
teristics which were to make him the hero
of countless legends. When he was only
a child, his cousin, Dennis Hanks, said,
“There’s suthin’ peculiarsome about Abe.”
But he was not always solemn; he had a
liumor rich as the prairie earth, making
him the perfect mixture of three parts
sublime and one grotesque. He wrote
quantities of doggerel, and racy tales, like
that of the sons of Reuben who were so
well known’ as to honor in their own
country that they had to go afar off to get
wives for-themselves. He always enjoyed
making jokes about himself, He said
that he met a man who handed him a
pistol saying, “I promised long ago that
if I ever met a man uglier than myself I
would hand sa this pistol and tell him
to shoot me.” And. Lincoln answered,
after searching the fellow’s face, “Well, if
I am uglier than you are, for God’s sake,
go ahead and shoot me.”

He ‘was always reading books,
cially the Bible. This was.his only com-
fort “against the same thing over and
over again day after day, so many morn-
ings the same water from the same spring,
so many days alone in the woods or the
fiekis, or else the same people to talk
with, from whom he had learned all they
could teach him.” Throughout his life,
he had t&ese two shifting moods, “the
one of the rollicking droll story, and the
one where he lapsed into a gravity be-
yond any bystander to penetrate.”

espe-

And in this mood, “a poetry of pure
wisdom came from his lips as carelessly

as rain drops in high corn.”

Mr. Sandburg carries the story easily
forward, through the wild river days as
ferry boy on the Misstssippi, through his
learning of the law. Everywhere people
began to speak of him, and legends about
him spread like ripples in a pool. When
people saw him “they scanned his face,
thinking about his words and ways, ready
to believe he waS a Great Man. Then he
would spill over with a joke; the bar-
riers tumbled; he became a_ friendly
stranger, no far-off Great Man at all.”

The tide in Lincoln’s affairs, taken
always at the full, led him on inexorably,
till the day when he corded up his trunks,
marked them “A. Lincoln, the White
House,” and set out, conscious that the

‘battle before him was greater than any

Washington himself had had to face.
This tide, call it greatness, call it des-
tiny, Mr. Sandburg makes us feel un-
ceasingly throughout his two volumes.
His Lincoln, however much a man he
strove to make him by faithful re-
cording of the humblest details of his
humanity, is more than half a god, as
truly the centre of the epic of America’s
prairie years as ever Aeneas was of the
founding of*his nation.

tunny fish, shadowed by a shed, and be-
yond the intolerable dazzle of the sea
and light. On one of the two angles is
a northern scene in the Basque province,
of kine and girls with milk pails, amid
the strong green of degiduous trees and
the grey of grey rocks. On the other, in
Navarre, are the governors of cities, “in
their traditional dress of black with whitg
ruffs, and here again are granite and
green trees.

Opposite the entrance is Casti with
a procession led by girls in liant
dresses carrying the pure, white, un-
yeasted Spanish. bread. At ‘the point

where the pageant ends, dre, sacks of
-grain, heaped up till you feel- that the
dry soil of Castile could grow enough
grain to feed the entire world.

In mural painting there is always the
problem of “the -wallness of the wall.”
Puvis de Chavannes reduced everything
to flatness; Raphael opened out for you
measureless distances. But the men of the
Renaissance were not afraid of compe-
tition with the sup@inaturally splendid
people in their pictures. Sotolla solves
the problem by making a pageant and
not a picture of life. Always we, look
across shadow into sunshine through
strong sunlight to forms made tenuous
by shadow. Always you are removed
from actuality. The people in these paint-
ings are not interested in what they are
doing but in you. As you watch them
they .come alive—you—feel--they move
behind your back and exchange glances.
We need to rear a race of supermen to
live in so great a chamber.

The other room is that designed for
Miss Bliss by Arthur Davies, himself a
mystic, perhaps a pratiquant. He has
covered the walls of her library with
figures on varied scales, drifting, now.
near, now far. It is rather a futurist
conception—the figures seem at first fo
overlap, but when you look more closely
the outline is all there. They are all
drifting toward the centre of the mantel,
where there is nothing but shadows.
Tolstoi has said, “Where there is noth-
ing, there God is.”

You realize the motion of the figures,
for they are like shadows of moving
boughs on snow, like cloud shadows on
tall grass, like images in crystal or light
in a moonstone. The colors are vague,
changeable, pigeon-breast, but lightly im-
posed. There is no contour of form,
but a delicately moving line. To what
Blake had, is added the vaporous and
changing color, a further refining away.

As you sit there and look, the figures
begin to move, and it seems to you that
it is a place of dreams and that in a
minute you will know what it is about.
Then you, realize that it is a place of

| visions, and that you do know what it

is about, for it is a means, not an end.
You figure to yourself that if. all the
cosmos were a crystal ball and God sat

‘at the center thinking things into being,

and the shadows of his thoughts were
projected against ‘the inside of the walls

‘of the sphere, it would be like this. If

one had the room and could sit there,
one might make the ultimate escape in
between the gaps df the design.

HARD TO CHOOSE WEEK

chooge a week putting the same pregsure
of work on every student, on account of
the wide diversity. in quiz and report
dates. The season ,of the. first scheduled
quizzes was avoided, in order to obtain
results from as normal a period as pos-
sible. The first survey was made for the
week of December 7. The second, for
January 11, illustrates the time spent on
work just before midyears. :

A week was *selected as the length of
each survey because of its convenience as
a unit of measurement, and because the
Committee believed greater interest and
accuracy would be insured in record
keeping for a short period than for a long
one,

From the fecord slips the figures below
were computed, These indicate the gen-
eral average of work for the period, and
the average by classes. Each of the Re-
quired Subjects, except the sciences, was
computed. Because of the method of
work in the Minor Science courses, by
vehich little reading is given and most of
the studying is done immediately before
quizzes, no practical analysis can be
made of these. The Minor History of
Art courses were also computed, because
general, opinion holds that a dispropor-
tionate amount of time is spent on them.
Extra-curricular work in German (that
is, work for the German oral in the
spring of the Junior year that is not done
as part of. the regular fifteen hours of
academic work) is given.

The average increase in study before
a scheduled quiz cannot be determined
with any accuracy because preparation
for a quiz depends, in intensiveness, upon
the nature of the course (for instance,
whether it is 4 science course or a daily
preparation course in a language), upon
the character of the student’s other work
involving occasional heavy pressure of
reports, etcetera, and upon various other
factors of individual method, There is

‘undoubtedly an increase in work. The

results of the survey of January 11,
before midyear examination, illustrate
this increase on a large scale.

Finally, the Committee finds these sur-
veys to be limited in comprehensiveness
and accuracy by the fact that only about
one-half of the college answered them.

A survey slip is enclosed. All those
handed in are on file, ready for inspection
if it is desired. ,

member of the
piano,e were excellent. Never before in
our experience’ has a committee been so
thoughtful as to provide food for the

audience ‘

In this age of science, the dogfish was
a proper embodiment of the, spirit of
Dalton. The audience greeted him as an
old friend, especially those whose _inti-
macy is the product of the past few
weeks. Pinocchio, Geppetto and all the
rest of the crew were true to our hap-
piest memories of them. It has been one
of the pleasures of the last three fresh-
man shows to present to us old friends
with a new setting of fantasy and local
humor.

“The Dogfish Receives,” moreover, had
the many scenes, the quick change of
spectacle and background that the revue
had taught us to enjoy. From the first
scene in the wood, with its lovely tree
silhouettes to the final cavern of the dog-
fish’s mouth, the staging was conceived
and executed with imagination and. skill.
The lighting was splendid throughout.
Of the third of Pinocchio’s voyagings, we
must quote President Park’s compliment
in Monday chapel: “It is a.class, verily,
that can move mountains.” The macabre
atmosphere of the Thibetan scene with
a marvelously immobile Buddha and
such incense that one of the audience re-
marked: “That was a show that appealed
to all the sense.” The Thibetan mous-
taches we especially liked; we have not
scen anything like them since Bairn-
father’s Old Bill. :
The costumes. were nicely chosen for

{color and charm of design. The Eton
jacket motif and circular skirt were
fashionable and becoming too., For

height, haircut and general appearance
the choruses were well chosen, and well
drilled also, In fact, all the dancing was
good and showed extraordinary variety
of skill, The complete effect was largely
achieved by the very wise selection of the
music. |

Of the tumblers we can hardly say
that their strength and skill, which kept
the audience gaping and applauding for
ten minutes, was the result of Danish.
gym. After two years of it, we are quite
urable to emulate them. We believe they
must be ardent readers of Physical Cul-
ture, disciples of the McFadden system.

Inone way..“The Dogfish. Receives”
departed from tradition: there was 0
class symbolism in the characters and
hence no loveimterest, This wag cer-
tainly not a fault, rather a relief. YAt the
same time we wete sorry that there was





not more convergation; since the local
humor was ngt omitted a alto-
gether in the’ first few stenes. The

chorus of assassins, for example, was a
perfect expression of one’s feelings at
16.29.

The polyp has officially entered the
Bryn Mawr zoo, We have had no ex-
perience with a polyp befgre, but we like
its looks. The evolution of class animals
is amusing. Three years ago every class
wanted to be represented by a large, im-
portant-looking animal, impersonated in
the show; blue lions,.blue tigers, green
griffins, red cockatoos were all the
fashion. Now the animals are getting
smaller every day.. Perhaps the change
comes from -the’ death, of the old class
spirit. Anyway, we cheer the blushing

polyp.

rich, slow life of European cities; there are
whole days when you are on your own, to
brouse in museums, poke into shops, or to
idle away your time in any one of a thou-
sand profitable ways denied to the tourist
‘who: trots through, schedule in one hand,
watch in the other.

Where there are good student hotels or
academic dormitories they will be used; in
esome instances lodging will be in private
homes, a privilege anywhere, but especially
in a foreign land; where hotels are used
they will for the-most-part be the less pre-
tentious ones, patronized by the people of
the country. Private bathrooms are some-
thing very special in Europe; but almost
everywhere a bath will be possible when one
wants. it.

The parties, functions, conferences, excur-
sions, special rates and other features of hos-
pitality which make these tours unique can-
not be arranged for less than a dozen stu-

dents. On the other hand a much Jarger
group would have something ~ wholesale
about. A dozen don’t get in each other’s

way. Twenty or 30 have to maintain more
organization, they make a mass impression
ott those they meet, and the individual misses
the casual oppottunities that come when one
does stand out as an individual.

The affairs of each group will be adminis-
tered by a leader, chosen for his interest in
European affairs, for travel experience, for
social qualities and for practical responsi-
bility. Popular professors and instructors,
graduate students and in some few cases,
outstanding undergraduates are being invited
to assume the leadership. So far as pos-
sible the leader will select the members of
his own group in order that it may be
homogeneous. -fh other instances the Open
Road will pass on the application. Arrange-
ments are being made for only 400 students,
and membership will be selective.

DR. CURRY TO CLEAR UP VITAL
*- MYSTERIES IN TWO LECTURES
From the point of view of worth while
opportunities in extracurricular activi-
ties, the future is almost unparallelled.
The fact that Dr. Bruce Curry will de-
livér two lectures, Wednesday,
March 3, and the second, the following
Wednesday evening, obviously contrib-
utes a great deal to this generally happy
outlook,

one,

Dr. Curry teaches at’ the Union Theo-
logical Seminary in,New York City. He
has also visited many colleges and uni-
versities.all overt the country and given
lectures. He is, therefore, in direct com-
munication with students from many
places. Furthermore, he has the reputa-
tion of being a very dynamic speaker.

This Wednesday evening, the subject
of his lecture will be, “What Is Life All
About Anyway?” ‘Think of the oppor-
tunity in having this greatest of mys-
teries explained! A week from Wednes-4
day, his subject will be, “Where Does
Religion Fit In?”

Coming to National affairs, Dr. Fen-
wick spoke of Senator Walsh’s resolution
for the investigation of the Aluminium
Trust. Senator Walsh is a very ‘able
and fearless man; according to the Anti-
Trust Act of 1890, this trust should have
been investigated, but Mr. John®G. Sar-

“The League of Nations is facing a
great crisis in its history,” said Dr. Fen-
wick, referring to the meeting of-_the

Assembly on March 8, to decide upon:

Germany’s entrance to the League. The
Assembly has increased the number of
“non-great” powers on the Council from
