—Srocialty-cmributed by Miss Tilda Smit,

Director of the. Summer School
It is a difficult task to summarize in a
artiele the work the Summer.
School this year, and to do it in such a

of

* way that, the undergraduates, returning to

_also.. The former is-finishing her thesis on-

the campus, may realize-something of the
experiences of the ninety-five workers in
industry who were enrolled students
here during the summer. Many times dur-
ing the two months those of us who were
menybers both of the School and the. Col-
lege wished heartily that a larger number
of the “winter students” might take part
in the life of the Sumimer School, for the
sake of the vivid interest packed in those
two months, and the stimulating » experi-
elice of coming. to know the industrial
workers who make up the student body.

Because of careful work on the part of
the local committees, & very high standard
of selection resulted in a high intellectual
average among the students. Many of
them had attended classes arranged by local
Summer School committees during the
previous winter. All of them were inspired
with an honest desire for further educa-
tion, and a determination to use the oppor-
tunities.of-the.School_in-the-best—possible
way. Psychological tests and careful rat-
ings made by the faculty at the end of the
summer confirmed our first impression of
the students, and have made us believe that,
after three years, a standard of selection
has been established. * That such a high
standard was reached this summer is due
partly to the efforts of the former students,
in keeping out certain candidates who, in
their opinion, were not qualified either in
ability or in serious purpose.
tion this.year of the younger
workers, under twenty-one, proved also to
be a step in the right direction, -fon_the
older group showed to an unusual degrée,
matyre judgment, common-sense, ag a
feeling of deep responsibility toward the
School...” :

Each first year student this. year took
work in the division of Modern Industrial
Society, and in addition chose either -the
course in Science, or the course in Litera-
ture, History and Art. The work in Eng-
lish was correlated with the subject matter
of each of these divisions. Second year
students had more advanced-work in Eco-

ciples with: a. interraeialeducatiom stutly

the church; ¢, economic and industrial life.

both a bane and a blessing. Its blessedness,

that of protecting the student from the

interference of outside duties and ‘distrac-.

tions, has been repeatedly emphasized. By
obviating this one danger there is a risk

~ of incurring a second; a danger a little less |

tangible but nevertheless one -which should
be recognized; that of almost completely
losing touch and interest in things outside
of College. : Connection through interest in

literary and artistic questions is consider-

able, while interest in politics is negligible.

Besides these, there is a third link, a smaller

and less obvious, but one which must not-

be overlooked. It is the opportunity offered
by the Social Service Committee to spend
a couple of hours a week’ otherwise occu-
pied im individual improvement to social
welfare. Modest as the work may seem
its importance is great, when one considers
that it enables; ‘a small group to see a. little

nomics, and a choice between Psychology,
Science or Literature, with English. In
addition every student had one hour a
week in Hygiene, and for those4yho wished
it, the one hour course in the Appreci&tion
_of Music was optional. In physical train-
ing, two periods a week in corrective gym-
nastics was required, a period of folk~danc-
ing, and a choice of three other periods of
exercise, in swimming, tennis, baseball, vol-
ley ball or hiking. Five Bryn, Mawr’ stu-
dents, recommended by the, undergraduate
committee on the Summer School, were
members of “the School this summer) and

- assisted in the recreational program, Betty

«Howe and Nancy Hough for: the— first
month, ‘and Helen: Rice and Etheline Hinck-
ley for the last. part of the term. Mary
Woodworth stayed through the summer
and had charge of the swimming pool and
of folk dancing classes. She reports-that
sixty students learned to swim during the
two months. The whole School appreciates
to the fullest extent the work done during
the past two summers by our. undergraduate
assistants, and hopes that through them
the contacts between the School and the
College may be strengthened, and become
each year more significant for both groups
of students, |

“fn adjusting themselves to. their academic }

work, the students went through a difficult
period, «lasting about two weeks. ~ To

_ workers. coming straight from years of

-monotonous factory work, the obstacles in
the way of intelligent and consecutive
studying are almost insuperable. Courage-
“ously the students faced their new difficul-
ties, learning to read, to express themselves
in writing and speaking, trying to bridge
great gaps in previous schooling, and in
the face of prejudices, misunderstandings
and deep-seated traditions, gradually ac-
quiring the ability to think for themselves,
to understand reading and discussion, to
investigate facts with an open mind. Grad-
ually discouragement gave place to a belief
in their own powers, and in doing the thing
which seemed impossible, each student has
- tested herself and gained a sense of wid-
ening horizons which it will take the rest
of her life to explore: For some students
English proved to be of the first impor-
tance. Others found themselves through
the Literature coutse, or developed new
interest in industrial problems through Eco-
nomics. One student, handicapped in Eng-
lish by her foreign envigonment, found’
this mental awakening in Science, and re-
marked, “Science is like music; even I can
understand Science, for it is international.”
The informal groups. around the trestle
tables Which took the place of the college
‘desks in all the class-rooms worked out
new, methods in teaching and in studying,—

methods which, analyzed and reported on :

by the faculty at the end of the summer,

will prove most valuable’ in’ planning the
work of future¢,Summer Schools. To every
student came the realization that this two
months of study was only a beginning, and
that with the ability to use the tools of
education comes the responsibility ef help-
ing other workers find similar opportuni-
ties. Already reports from the students

-¢ of last summer show that many of them

have enrolled in winter classes, are—inter-

~ esting their ‘fellow-workers in studying, and

are making a determined effgrt, in_ spite
of many obstacles, to continue the ‘work
begun at the School. An unexpected result

____. of the summer came—-during- the last two

weeks, when nine students came to the

decision that for them the next step must]: ~

be further consecutive education, in order
that they might .come into the workers’

"movements better equipped with ‘training. a

planning to go back into industry for a few
months in order to save toward school
expenses for another year, and for these
brilliant students too the School. is trying
to secure scholarships.

Aside from the academic work Wot the
sthool in class-rooms and. tutoring sec-
tions, the program of recreation and of
school administration held much that was
of intense interest to all the- members of
the School. With characteristic energy and
enthusiasm, the students undertook the

organization of the School for the summer.

On. Sunday evenings in’ the Cloisters, the

programs were planned to create an.atmos-

phere of leisure, and to get-away for a
little while from the ‘economic questions
which made ‘up the usual campus discus-
sions. Story tefling, violin solos, readings
of poetry, or of short’plays were thoroughly
enjoyed by the students, »On July Fourth a
lively field day ,with relay, races and con+
tests proved a *novelty to many of the
students, who had never had an opportunity
to enjoy a play-time before. For Interna-
tional Peace Day a celebration was planned
to. include a dramatic festival, taking the
form of a country fair, and including folk
dances I¢arned in the gymnasium classes.
The three tall pine trees hack of Radnor.
made the stage setting, a lovely background
for ‘the many-colored -costumes~arfd—the
booths of flowers and frujt. Onesgroup of

‘students arranged to give a’ part of the

play “Ik. U. R.” which made a deep impres-
sion on the School as a whole. On‘the
last night of the School the lantern cere-
mony, produced last year, was given again
in the cloisters, symbolizing the desire of
the workers for education.

The usual question “What can an indus-



trial worker get from a two months’ course
in. the Summer School ?”. is answered each
year in very effective terms by the students
themselves. Increased knowledge of indus-

trial conditions and of their own responsi-’ »

bilities as industrial workers, a new appreci-
ation of the world-about them, fresh en-
joyment in reading and in an understanding
of ideas, ability to express their own
thoughts i in writing and speaking,—all these
‘are among the fruits of the
School,

throughout the country, in every -district
where the students of the’*School, now num-
bering almost. 300, have gone back with the

determination that education, if it is to have ‘

any significance, must become edtication

sponsibility for the good name of the Col-
lege rests with each individual, and the
realization of this will help to preserve it.

Elouise Requa, ’24, President of the
Undergraduate Association, explained . its
activities as the link between Faculty and
Students, and as filling the gap left by the
other associations. The May Day celebra-
tion this year is especially important. It
rests with the undergraduates, said .Miss
Requa, to make it a great success, and to
see the Students’ Building materialize,

If next-June you don’t want to be broken
in health, and grey before your time, said
Elizabeth Howe, '24, President of the Ath-
letic Association, you had better take part
in athletics, which are so numerous d
varied that they indlude everyone in Col-
lege. You can’t study all the time, and
athletics are a mental relief and a physical
necessity. Although it, is not necessary to
euter the competitive system, nevertheless
we encourage it, because it, gives a sense of
ufiity and good sportsmanship.

zations together, said Felice Begg, ’24,

the ‘ignorance of College activities—com-
mon before it was, started, eight years ago.
It®also keeps the Alumnae in touch with
the College. Since a great part of its cir-
culation is outside College it should be a
eue, reflection of student opinion. To at-
tain “this elusive goal it needs the interest
and co-operation of everyone in College:

Miss Cénstance M. K. Applebee, Director
of Physical Education, introduced as “a
part of every phase of College life,” gave
us a glimpse of how American colleges are
regarded in England, as a sort*of heaven

Speaker Emphasizes Power
* » Students to Rebuild World

In his sermon in Taylor Hall last Sunday
might Professor Rufus Joneg Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the College
and Professor of Philosophy at Haverford
College, pleaded for the sacrificial spirit.

The ‘greatest catastrophe of the’
today, he said in brief, is the collapse of
faith and hope. America, its
sponsibility, is growing mege and more ma-
terially minded, although civilization can-
not survive materially finless revived spir-
itually. The only men and women: who can
assume the spiritual task are those who
are now college students. But when there

--4g selfishness there can~ be no salvation.
What we need is the leadershfp of radiant
personality, and that is what we find at the
headwaters of our faith. Jesus saw the
infinite possibilities in. every character, and
the Kingdom of-God on earth. To follow
in his footsteps, we must love the highest,
must feel the impact of Jesus’ life which
all through the ages has been changing
men, and we must vote
