TSURUMI REVIEWS THE
STATE OF MODERN JAPAN

This is Going to be the Pacific Era

JAPAN’S RISE DUE TO EDUCATION









that we are entering on aSnew era—the
“Pacific era,” said Mr. Yushka Tsur umi, a
young Japanese author: and lecturer,
speaking before the Liberal Club in Tay-
lor last Friday night.

“The. vast territories of China, Siberia,
and the islands of Australia and New
Zealand, are ripe for expansion by “the
American mind and industry. Japan will
play af important part because .of her
strategic position and civil peace. :

“One thing that Americans are kind
enough to say is that the record of Japan
in the last fifty yéars has been wonder-
ful. -In the last fifty years we have done
something to attract the attention of the
outside world.” The artistic progress of
modern Japan, and progress in philosophy
and religion, is far behind that of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

“When the country was opened to the
western world in 1868, it had two con-
cerns: one was to meet foreign aggres-
sion from England or France or Russia,
and the other was to adopt the Western
system of people’s representation. Con-
servative government was established, and

“I_think_the sectet—of—the—success—of
Japan is due-to tlie success of the educa-
tional system.” There is a compulsory

BATES HOUSE GIVES SUCCESSFUL
i PARTY IN GYMNASIUM



Drive for Benefit of Bates House Opens
-With Dance and Skit



“A morning at Bates House” ran’ its
jolly and:noisy course before a crowd of
amused ‘spectators in the gym on the
evening ofMarch 14, Small boys ‘and
girls, in caps ‘and overalls, pigtails and
smocks, rolled out of, and under theif
beds, inspite of the noble efforts of K,
McBride, and N. Hough, ’25, to restore
order. Pandemonium. at the breakfast
table was followed by clamoring for turns
at the imaginary swing, and the operatic
‘singing of “Smiles,” ‘and other Bates
House standbys. The children were par-
ticularly captivating as they rolled their
eyes upward, wiggled their fingers in a
spiral, and cried:in a rapturous squeak,
“Just the same, just the same,.and_ the
smoke goes up the ‘chini-i-mey just the
same.” The purpose behind their frolics
was revealed at the end when each infant,
from. E. Morris, ’27, to R. Foster, 725,
spoke her little: piece, begging the ladies
to send them back next summer to Bates
Hause, : : .

At this informal opening of the Bates
campaign, the gentlemen of the newly-
organized 28 Jazz BPR 0 furnished
spirited music. Occasionally a pair of

GOSPELS TEACH BUT ONE THING;
RELIGION A LIFE, NOT A CREED

ee

Essential Quality of Christianity is Dr.
Johnston’s Subject

~~



“What, in the final estimate. a gee
system of theology to do with the real
-purpose of the Christian religion, the
fashioning of myself after the pattern of
Christ?” This was the principal question
emphasized by the Reverend Robert
Johnston, rector of St. John’s Church,
Washington, D. C., in the Sunday eve-
ning lecture of March 15.

Miracles, creeds, the connection he-
tween science and religion, the question
of fundamentalism and modernism, after
all, concern very little the sincere faith: of
one who Sees the beauty of Christ’s life,
and wishes to imitate it. St. Paul's the-
ology is not Christ's religion. In dis-
carding the religion along with the the-
ology this-generation is making its mis-
take, the mistake which draws forth so
much criticism from older people.

Dr. Johnston explained that he had been
prepared for a regular service with a
Sermon, not for a lecture; but he was able
to adapt himself to the new experimental
policy of the Christfin association.

HOLY GRAIL RE-DISCOVERED

Professor Re-describes Antioch Chalice
nd of Chiselled Silver







In an illustrated article in the Living
Church for February 28, Dr. John A. May-
nard, associate professor of Semitic Lan-
guages at Bryn Mawr, discusses the Great
Chalice of Antioch. : foe
This chalice, which Dr, Maynard calls the
greatest discovery of our age, was found by
Arabs digging on:the site of Antioch, and
is now in the vault of a Fifth Avenue Banky

The outer shell is a marvellous piece of
chiselled. silver, representing the Disciples
of Jesus surrounded by mystic symbols. The
artist must have seen, Christ and his Disciples,
Dr. Maynard believes, because the figures
are all individual, representing real character,
It must have been the work of a convert to
Christianity about 50 A. D. and it is sym-
holic- of ‘life and peace through Christ.

The inner chalice is a rudel hammered
piece of silver, very plain by contrast with
the ornate. outer shell. Tt must. have ,been
extraordinarily precious, to have | been
thought worthy of such a magnificent cover-
ing and to have had its rimgvorn by the
kisses of worshipers. Only the Holy Grail
could he so valued, and all evidence seems
to point to this deduction.

Thus the Grail was lying buried and un-
known among the church treasures of An-

weferized by excellent passing and _ bril-
liant shooting. They seemed sure of ane

space which was inevitably quickly filled
by a Bryn Mawr player. '-Pennsylvania -
played a game of desperate defense, but
lacked the co-ordination necessary .to
check Varsity’s triumphant progress up

The ball was in Bryn Mawr’s hands
after the opening whistle, but Pennsyl-
vatiia succeeded in shooting the first bas-
ket. Basket followed -basket in. quick ~
succession for Bryn Mawr, and it: soon
became apparent that the swift inter-
cepting of G. Leewitz, ’26, and J. Hud-

somewhat erratic Pennsylvania forwards.

In the second half Pennsylvaftia got the
ball at the start and seemed to pass with
renewed vigor. The excellent passing
of Bryn Mawr and-the spectacular surety
of C--Remtak, "25, “and F. Jay, "96. kept
Varsity far ahead however,» C. Remak,

SIX UNDERGRADUATES NEEDED .

.FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
Six undergraduates instead of four are
needed for the Summer School this com-
ing season. Three will come from June
10 to July 10, and the other three from
July 10 to August 10,

Someone who knows a little. about
music, someone who js fairly proficient at
athletics, though not. necessarily on first
teams, someone who can run a mimeo-
graph machine, someone who can drive a
car would be preferable, but above all the
Summer School needs _ six girls who are
eager to work and who can adapt them-
selves to anything that comes along.
Though the salary is small the experience
is very valuable.

F. Briggs, '25; S. Carey, 25; H. Hen-
shaw, '25; E. Hinkley, ’25: N. Hough,
'25, and J. Seeley, ’27, may be consulted

THE IRISHMAN GOES EAST

Interesting in the recent news is the
announcement that. the government of
the Irish Free State has just sent a repre-
sentative to the Chinese -capital, and not
only because the parts of the good old
British Empire grow daily more inde-
pendent in their diplomatic dealings (wit-
ness Canada), biit also because Ireland
and China are both going through -re-
markable periods of’ transition. © China
“presents us with the spectacle of a won-
derful old nation in the throes of the in-
dustrial revolution; Ireland after centuries
of dependence and much misguided con-
trol, is trying in a fashion to work out
her own salvation. Also any diplomatic
move of Ireland is worth watching for
non-political reasons, Diplomacy. is, after
all, an art as well as a science; and though
the old school of such wily gentlemen and
makers of epigrams as Talleyrand is long
past, Irish wit and the Irish gift of lan-

guage may-do much-to brighten the capi-
tals of the world.



FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

Spring sloth and spring wanderings
have not come over the campus this year
as before: instead forces are being mobil-
ized and plans cogitated for the Endow-
ment drive. Pleasant afternoon rambles
to count the crocuses are replaced by
strenuous expeditions like the drag hunt
on Wednesday, when hounds and sports-
women under a competent M. F, ‘H.
chased a fleet quarry about the campus.
Mysterious societies bring’ offerings to the
Students’ Building Committee, doubtless
the fruit of some form of toil, little nest-
eggs that are sacrificed for the cause,
Campus saleswomen take the tradé of the
village; the academic atmosphere is
touched with commercialism. One sus-
pects that ‘correspondence courses in per-
sonality development are being secretly
taken preparation for begging, lessons in
how to become so persuasive that people
tush. for their cheque-b@oks at the slight-
est hint. Perhaps even long-standing
feuds will be forgotten in the uttited effort

._ of the spring driye.

. DEBIT OR CREDIT?

A great deal is being done for the negro
these days. Philanthropists work hard,
gentlemen interested give lectureS and
| firite ‘letters to the Times, concerts and bene-
advertise and finance negro charities.
But the emphasis is all on what we are
giving, or what we are going_to give the
negr@. oe

It is also true though dhat the negro
gives and has given us a great deal, and
that spontaneously and by his own force.
It seems hardly necessary to emphasize
the place of negro music now; their spir-
ituals and their jazz are as characteristic
as. anything achieved by other musicians
in America—perhaps more so. And their
stories, their humor, their traditions are
as natiqnal now as the bean and the cod,
or the prairie schooner. Charles Gilpen’s
performance in “The Emperor Jones” a
few years ago is a fair prophecy of what
place the negro may come to claim in
this age of the theatre.

Such are the contributions of the negro,
made independently, to American life. So
is it not well to remember, in considering
negro charities and negro reforms, that
their side of the debt is in great sid
already paid? -



(This letter was received in reference to
an editorial entitled “Change” printed in the
March 4 issue of the News.)

To the Editors of the Conneck News:

The writers of this letter are Alumnae
who still keep their interest in what happens
in college. We read the News regularly and
have followed with great interest the changes
of the last few years as recorded in that
mnniscient and increasingly-colloquial sheet.
We have often been moved to think back
over the days characterized by “ancient, out-
worn tradition.” We remember, sometimes
a little shamefacedly, that we often enjoyed
attending meetings; that some of us went to

chapel and actually felt we could profit
thereby ; and that—horrible dictu—-we some-
times indulged in interclass demonstrations,
and shouted (ourselves hoarse with childish
glee in answéerto side-by-side: songs.

An editorial in the last News entitled
“Chance” has succeeded in arousing us from
the gently philosophic attitude which has
been ours. We feel stirring within us: the
instinct, not exactly to defend our poor out-
worn: traditions, but to question the com-
plete self-satisfaction of the present genera-
tion as shown in a statement suth as this:

“The college continues to worship its new
goddess, Change. . . We seem to be
emerging from the great collegiate period.
ear-
ing; interest in the routine business of the
‘cainpus is waning. This is due
largely, we believe, to more wisdom. The
undergraduate mind is getting a little wiser
and ceasing fo care for the pettiness of class
factions and the trivial gravity of so many
college offices.”

Well—we wonder. +.

We wonder first whether the present ae
lege generation. i is losing ‘its sense of propor-
tion. Surely, “change”—that is, change from

i

gens alain will be, the . Speddeae” of



practical training, a position with a dramatic,

fits are staged all over the codntry 0]

something—has been since the beginning, and |





only in the self-expression of the individual.

Then, in turn, these waves of individualism
are followed by the waves of reorganization
which are needed: to rescue the college from
the generdl inefficiency left it as a heritage
by the graduating individualists. Associa-
tions rise and fall; .clubs are abolished or
revived; office is despised or coveted—all in
regular alternation, .In view of these facts,
“the escape from the great collegiate period”
does not seem to us as unique an achieye-
ment as one might suppose from the faintly-
superior attitude of the peseent untlergrad-
uate.

Then, we wonder whéther this generation
has quite the monopoly on originality that
it claims to have. After all, Varsity Drama-
tics have been adopted before. They were
abandoned, if we remember correctly, not
because of petty class feeling, but because of
the fact that they gave too little encourage-
ment—to—the “individual ‘of only average
dramatic ability. Moreover, the “startling
experiment with The Lantern,” cited by this
editorial, must have been tried at least once
every four years. In fact, The Lantern has
probably been buried or revived, popularizd
or- intellectualized with more unfailing regu-
larity than has any other institution in col-
lege. There have even beén signs of
intellectual endeavor e’er this. Yo mention
only a few more recent examples: In 1917
original plays were .written and- acted.; in
1920 a book of original poems was published
by people in college; in 1921 a real literary
coterie sprang up which invited Robert Frost
to come show them how to write poetry.

Finally, we have even permitted ourselves
to wonder whether all the modern develop-
ments are entirély the part of “greater wis-
dom.” Somehow, the fact that “very little
remains sacred or untouched” is not in it-
self of great value. The “new legislative
system,” which delegates to the few the
responsibility for community matters which
are the-business ofall, may seem in some
ways an advance, but in others its smacks
suspiciously of—laziness. Practically abol-
ishing Sunday night chapel may be an evi-
dence of a high level of intellectual
“independence;” on the other hand, it may
conceivably indicate an increasing delight in
one’s own small. affairs, and a -decreasing
ititerest in the opinions of the greal. re-
ligious thinkers of our time. Perhaps in the
old days we did have “pettiness: of class
factions.” Yet, may it not be possible that
one acquires a sense of social valuc in for-
getting for a time, through working with
other people, even the development of one’s
own all-important intellect ?

”

We are not depreciating the value of
leisure, nor are we seeking to discotnt | caest
intellectual endeavor. We are not criticizing
the News, which after-all only reflects cur-
rent opinion, But we deplore smugness in all
its manifestations ; we wonder if one extreme
is not as bad as another; and we covet for

ly admire more than’ this letter might indi-
cate, that achievement of the Golden Mean
which we failed to gain, and which after all
is the secret of true wisdom. |

SPEAK HONESTLY TO FRIENDS
AND URGE cies GENTLY
Friendship Calls for ie a Self-Mas-
tery, Understanding arid: Trust.

Speaking in Vespers last Sunday after-
noon, Caroline Remak, ’25, stressed the
vdlue of real friendship in college.

“We are so often told,” she said, “that
we have great opportunities here for
friendships, service: and self-mastery. It
seems to me that we lay too little em-
phasis on friendship. The modern idea is
that friendship doesn’t mean very much,
that most of our relations are passing,
without permanence.

“I feel that we do not dintinuntals be-
tween real friendship and mere play-
mates. Some people are born with a ca-
pacity for friendship which seems to me a
sign of breadth. Since people are the

‘most interesting things in ‘the world,
knowledge of ‘people is more important

than any other kind of knowledge. Even
in the books we read; personalities are
what appeal to us most strongly.

“Many people are reserved, fearing to’.
give themselves too cheaply. There is a
premium on the girl who is-hail fellow-
well-met with everyone—she is sought
after because she is good company and
the salt of society, but few people trust
her—and she has no real friends who are
the bulwark of her life.

“The habit of casual relationship is a
form of youth. We have been disillu-
sioned of the friendships we made at
school; but ‘real friendship can withstand
disillusionment and sham.

“The responsibility of friendship is
very “great. Influence reflect and affects
character, and the weakest of us exerts an
influence on her friends. Everyone needs
a few real friends to weather everything
with her, but before you can have friend-
ship, .you_must believe in it, for mutual
confidence and loyalty are its foundations.

“Service is closely allied to friendship.
College life is essentially selfish—we lead
entirely self-centered lives, but, if we took
the trouble, we could help others. . Many
people are lonely without being seen.
And everyone is the happier for kindness
and confidences, however tiny. e€ cati
make others happy if we cultivate a sen-
sitiveness to their moods.

“Then, we must speak honestly to our
friends, and advise them gently. We can,
tell them things they ought to know and
cannot sée for themselves—not brutally,.
but judiciously.

“And, even more important, we must
form a true estimate of ourselves and cul-
tivate a self-confidence which stops this
side of conceit.

“We must trust people, for trust helps
more than anything, else to give inspira-

tion _and_ support.

“Self-mastery consists in finding what
you think is right and then sticking to it.
Don’t drift, as we do in school, letting
others decide things for us. We are old
enough now to cast our own ideas of
right into a permanent mould.”

“There came a change with the great

FRANCE ARRANGES UNIVERSITY a
TOUR FOR AMERICAN STUDENTS

Conceal for Closer Siielaiies of
France Stressed By Miss Schenck .

dl
Miss Schenck, Associate Professor of

French at Bryn Mawr; spoke in chapel
recently about: the extraordinary plans
organized by the French Department of
Education to atquaint American students
with the civilization and language as well as
the country of France. The Minister of
Public. Instruction has arranged for stu-
dents to start from New .York, July 1, and
leave France, September 2. Seven univer-
sities are offering courses in the French
language and civilization, with week-end



~~ Grenoble, Miss. Schenck took as an
example of the -courses offered at the differ-
ent universities. The students will Jand in
ten days and, after spending two days in
Paris, will arrive at Grenoble’ just before
July 14, the most mgmorable of all French
holidays. On July 15 courses begin with
‘classes five days per week. -After lectures
before large groups, the students are divided
into” small, closely graded groups, each
| under an expert instructor. Grenoble,\itself,
is a very interesting place awd the monastery
of the Grande Chartreuse is sot far distarit.
The three week-end tours include two in
the Alps and the third to Lyons with a trip
on the Rhone from Lyons to Valence.

All the students from the seven universi-
ties then meet in Paris for the “Quinzaine
Internationale.” This is a course on the
modern aspects of France with a week-end
trip to Rheims,’ Verdtin and through the
hattlefields* One year a group of Bryn
Mawr students, taking advantage of this
opportunity, visited Verdun under fhe
guidance of a French colonel who had been
stationed there during the siege.

“This is typical of the whole course,” said
Miss Schenck. “It is the best France can
offer.”, The Quinzaine Internationale con-
cludes the courses_of instruction and_allows
the students two entire weeks of sightseeing.
Several routes are offered; one through the
chateau country to Tours, Lourdes, Carcas-

sonne, then back through Nimes, Arles and
Avignon to Paris.

The plans are in every way extraordinary,
but perhaps the most extraordinary feature

of all is the price; $650 includes all the
course of instruction, board and trips, with
a passage on a-one-class: steamer anda re-
turn passage second class on the “France.”

STUDENT LIFE AT SORBONNE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

young mam in his work. This body is classed
as an Association of public welfare. Its
house is situated on the Rue de la Bucherie,
the old Hotel Colbert. The business of the
Association is to look after the material
the Boulevard Saint Germain, Le Cafe deux
Magots attract the more serious minded,,

who frequent the smal restaurants to write,

to get warm ahd to read the daily news-
paper.

The principal drinks of the student can-
sist of Bock, Demi and cafe creme—because
they are the cheapest! Sometimes the stu-
dent indulges in the luxury of a Bavaroise,
which is a mixture of milk and rum,. To-
wards midnight or one in the morning the
tardy stiident goes to eat; a heaping: plate-
ful of mussels and rice in the Chope Latine
and very often plays at billiards in the
“special billiard room of the Taverne du
Pantheon.

Orderly: Life of Students

A greater majority of French students
lead a more orderly life than foreigners
imagine. One can even say that these noc-
turnal preambulations ‘and conversations at
the cafes usually have as the subject of their
discussions some interesting idea which often
is the making of a great literary figure or a
prominent scientist. The garden of Luxen-
bourg towards the end of the afternoon is
also filled. with the youths of the schools,

_the first terrace and the pool in particular

being their favorite haunts, Groups of stu-
dents can be seen scattered along the walks,
and under the arcades of the Odeon scan-
ning the book stalls. They work hard during
the day and take their recreation in the eve-
ning, sometimes going to the theatre if their
pocketbooks permit, and if not, indulging in
amusement of less expensive nature.

Many interesting types are found in the
- Quartier Latia, as, for example, “He who
is called Edouard.” This man of rather va~
gue pursuits and who used to carry a load
of books on his shoulder, would stroll in
front.of the cafes... He was often summoned
to the table of some student, where he drank
bock with him, paying enormous pennies
and evincing the most remarkable literary
knowledge.

One should not forget to.mention the
Estudiants, who naturally do not take part
in all the activities of the men students, -but
who are admitted into the faculties with
all the privileges of the men. They are eli-
gible for the same diplomas, although they
have special aggr ‘egations, ‘The nen students:
look with irony upon these’ young, girls who
invade their lecture halls, who cumanandaile

-all the armchairs of the library and who

fill the examination rooms, .
There are no such things as secret socie-

ties in French colleges, .but the General As-

sociation of Students is one of the numerous

‘needs ‘of the students and to contribute to

‘ed more attention to sports.

the ‘fund for the upkeep of those who need
such aid. It upholds that feeling of honor-
able friendship* and ‘intellectual bond which
is so necessary: in a city, as forbidding to
a stranger as is Paris.

« ® Foreign Relations

Montmartre—contrary to popular betief!
—is little frequented hy the. students, ex-
cepting those at the Beaux Arts. In late
years the American influence has come in
to such an extent that it can no longer be
called French in the strict sense of the
word, At the Beaux Arts itself most of the
students are Americans.

Besides the University of Paris we find
institutions like those of Grenoble and “Dijon
which take especial care of the foreign stu-
dents: The life at these universities varies
little from that at the University of: Paris.

The Sorbonne is really the Faculte des Let-

tres, but the other schools* gathered around
it until they all formed the present Univer-
sity of Paris. Te “Beaux Arts is absolutely
separated from the University.

"Since the war, French students have turn-
Football, hoc-
key, tennis, golf, boxing and rowing have
bécome established. There is one sport, how-
ever, that remains typicaHy French—namely,
fencing. The students of the colleges begin
training in this form of athletics at an: early
age, and each college has its fencing »master.
Gymnasium work is required, but the stu-
dent is too occupied to give much time to
sports. It is partly due to this reason that
athletics are.nowhere near, as well organized
in France as in- America.

Since the war, the general attitude of the
student is rather more balanced and more
practical from a business point of view. The
big lesson taught by the war stirred up in
the youth of France patriotic feelings. All
the students are now, to some extent, “in-
terested in political parties and try to spread
their opinions in such way as to bring some
influence.on_ their associates.and. the. destiny
of their country.

Exams Archaic.
(Cornell Daily Sun)

“Our present system of examination is
archaic, and out of date besides being a
waste of time and money,” declared Dr, ‘I.
L. Bolton, head of the Department. of
Psychology in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, Temple University, Phila-
delphia, Pa. He adds that they do not
yield trustworthy results in determining
the achievements and ability of students

ter used in teaching.

Smoking.
(New Student)

University of Chicago—Three years ago
a law was passed forbidding smoking in
the dormitories although there was no
penatty named for offenders, Although
the majority do not smoke, it is whisp-
ered about that there is no objection. to
the fellow hallmates who do so. ‘When a
poster was placed in one of the haJls read-
ing: “There Shall Be No Smoking On
This Floor,” there was heated objection.
The next day some wag put up a sign
reading: “There Shall Be No Card Play-
ing On This Floor,” followed by 4 series
“No Loud Gum Chewing Tolerated On
This Floor,” and, “For the Comfort of
Your “Classmates Do Not Snore.* This
completely routed the enemy and there
were no more “No Smoking” signs.
