MUSIC, POLITICS AND POETRY .,
PLANNED FOR LIBERAL CLUB



Folk Song of India Will be Sung by
Ratan Devi on October 4



Lectures on ‘foreign. affairs, conditions
in Russia, labor education, music, and the
theatre, are inéluded in the plans of the
Liberal Club« for the coming year. The
policy of last year of having speakers ,on
a wide variety of subjects, not, merely.
¢zonomical and political, will be con-
tinued,

Madame Ratan Devi will be the first
speaker of the season, coming on
Wednesday, October 14, in Taylor Hall,
She will give a short talk on East Indian
music and then will sing Indian folk-
songs, wearing native costume. Madame
Devi is by birth an English woman, who
lived for years in India as the wife of a
seholar, Indian by birth. She. has given
many recitals in the United States and
England,.and has won high praise not
only from musicians, such as_ Pablo
Casals, the greatest living cellist, but also
from poets, notably W. B. Yeats and
Rabindranath Tagore.

Definite engagements for lecture dates
throughout the year are not all assured}
but the Liberal Club is now trying to
make arrangements with Anna Louise
Strong, the foremost American worker
in Russia today; A. J. Muste, president
of the Brookwood ‘Trade Union College;
Dr. Rowe, authority ‘on the Pan-Ameri-:
can situation; ‘Carl Sandburg, William
Beebe, famous— naturalist and author, and
other lecturers. %

Tentative plans are also being made,
if time and circumstances permit, for
more informal talks than the regular
lectures, with discussion perhaps “by small
groups. People of interesting experience,
such as holding a job in a actory of
managing a small magazine, may be in-
duced to talk over after-dinner coffee. ,

Posters announcing lectures will be
distributed as usual:) and membership
cards will be placed_on doors.

President Park Announces Addition

GOODHART HALL BEING PLANNED

Se @
With great-pleasure Bryn Mawr wel-
cones its old stidents returning and its
new geudents, graduate and undergrad-
uate, as it-enters-on the work of its forty-
‘first year with great pleasure and with
great curiosity which in the family this





morning can come out flat-footed and
call ‘itself confidence.’ For the veterans
among us, i. e., ranging down through
the sophomores, a long holiday is over,
spent in a hundred different combinations
of toil and tranquillity, each day a law to
itself,.and we are ready to begin again
on the closed season when our days are
pretty well set for us and our work and
its results are dependent on the work and
the motale of others beside ourselves.
All summer we have spun separately.
Now we bring our thread and weave it
together into a fabric, the web of tit
Bryn Mawr College year.

At the end. of the year it seemed ecer-
tain that two pieces of business were to
keep the President within reach of the
college this summer, the perplexities
connected. with the admissions to the
freshman class, and the building of Good-
hart Hall. A nearby summer was also to
make possible a first-hand impression of
the Summer School during its first and
second weeks. and again toward the close
of the session. — A farmhouse —in-—an
Adirondack valley allowed a midsummer
visit to Bryn Mawr, and in the intervals
of letter-writing and telegraphing became
instantly an abode of holiday peace.

The final outcome of the admissions
situation you see scattered among you.
In late July when the returns from the
Board examinations came in, completing
the returns from the Bryn Mawr exami-
nations, we found out of every three who
had passed the examinations either clear
or with three or less “points of condi-
tion we could admit. only two. A few
rooms were given up in August by mem-
bers of the older classes or students
formally admitted so that it has proved
finally possible to take eighty-nine into
residence and to admit as non-residents

“nineteen. more, a total of one hundred

and eight as compared with one hundred
and eighteen in 1924 and one hundred and
twenty-nine in 1923. The problem of
selection was exceedingly difficult for the
Committee on Admissions. © That com-
mittee can at. least say that it made an
honest attempt to choose individuals and
groups who can use to ‘the greatest ad-
vantage what the college as an institu-
tion has to offer, that is, those girls who
are most likely to find their road to self- :
development lies through the land . of -
academic routine, of hard, persistent and
successful mental effort in classrooms,
libraries, and laboratories. Bryn Mawr
has always found among her better stu-
dents many of those who carried on her
student activities most ably. If intellec-
tual promise continues to be the first
requisite for admission to this college
“all-around girls,” “good citizens,” girls”
with executive, athletic or artistic gifts
will be as ‘surely included in the student
‘body as though they were chosen delib-
eratel¥ because of those generat school
recommendations.

Again, everyone knows that entrance

BONES OUT OF JOINT:
There’s a wrench,and a twist for most
of us when we exchange a casual effort-
less summer for the winter’s application
and routine. And the sensation, -as
Shaw's poet discovered, is none the less
real for being so foolish.

As though they were bounded by the
dates of the College calendar responsibili-
ties “fall back on our shoulders. For
these first few days the campus has the
important haste of a Lexington Avenue

certainty Freshmen snarl themselves in
Taylor red-tape, and suffer bewildered, in
the army recruit manner, through physi-
cal examinations and athletic try-outs.
Even in the eyes of the experienced there
is weariness of beginning again, and a
vague look of despair founded on noth-
ing.

For college—as we have often heard—
is an artificial thing, with division and

course of years, And it’s a shame to
waste good, honest melancholy dnd ex-
haustion on what is after all only our
voluntary superstructure. We are walk-
ing on our’own legs, but in charmed. pro-|¢
tection still, the. road we have chosen.
Is this to be, these next few weeks, suffi-
cient excuse for feeling our bones out of
joint?’

BOOK REVIEW

The Kenworthys, sd Margaret Wilson—
Harpers.
The Kenworthys iss a novel that “has
guts.” gWritten crudely, in a style with-
out polish or vividness, it yet achieves: a
poignant reality. Without subtle or
forceful characterization, with strong re-
straint, the sheer speed of the story and
the emotional intensity of the situations
are enormous. Thg book is ‘a study. of a
woman, of 4 family, of home life in con-
ditions of marriage and divorce. »

Emily Alden and the two ‘Kenworthy |
brothers, the one whom she loved, the
other whom she married, and _ her
nephew, are the principal ‘actors in this
tragedy of a mistaken marriage nobly
endured and ‘a divorce destroying a child.
It was the fortitude; patience, and gaiety

of Emily which kept her faithful to her

stupid, slovenly husband even whose
honesty she was forced to question, and
enabled her to restore the intimacy of
her nephew and his father whom she
loved. Dominating two-thirds of the
story is the figure of this fourteen-year-
vld boy, ignorant, tortured, passionate,
who doubts even his paternity until he
gains belief from the example of his
aunt. Behind these two generations is
old Mrs. Kenworthy, tired, austere, and
wise.

Whether or not Miss Wilson wins prizes
with this book, as she got the’ Harper and
Pulitzer awards for her first, The Able Mc-
Laughlins, she has in this: second novel at-
tained the same effect of reality.



Psycho-analysis and Behaviour by Andre
Tridon, Knopf.

Dogs have their day, and so, occa-'

sionally, does the human race. At

present we are living one of its great:

days. ' :
Adventure is provided, less by cncieae
ted seas, and primitive forest, than by
the private workings of the human brain,
In painting and sculpture the subject has
changed from “the thing as he sees it,
for the God of things as they are,” to
the thing as he, an individual, interprets
it omitting the question .of God alto-
The enthralling matter of human
emotion, human experience, is rapidly
driving sunsets and plots from our poetry
and prose.

Andre Tridon’s book, in this heyday of
humanity, is timely reading. What are
these human beings anyway? Body and
soul colliding for a space, or body and
soul infinitely combined? How far is
the collision, or combination, governed
by its unknowfi past, by present circum-
stances? Wherein lies its chance of
progress, its security against back-slid-
ing?

These are general headings; later par-
ticular human types are considered. Is
there an explanation for the Puritan,’ the
pervert, the coward? Who are the in-
Finally, ‘what is the
positive, the successful man? :

If this proud ‘and very honest book
causes any of its redders depression, or
disallusion, it will mot be the fault of. its
author, who chose as its motto those
words of Nietzsche:

“Since humanity came into being, man
|has, enjoyed himself too. little. . That

NEW YORK OFFERS PROBLEMS
TO THIRTEEN COLLEGE JUNIORS



Lectures and Field Trips vie in Interest
With Ferry Rides



(Specially contributed by E. S. Mussel-
man, 26)

Seven o’clock and a loud rap on my
door-ahother day of Junior Month’ was
veginning. After a hurried ‘breakfast, I
rushed out in the rain and took the car
tor No,. 970 Madison avenue, where |
was to interview a doctor &bout Mr. C.
Less successful than I had anticipated,
I had to bear the news to the waiting
Mrs. C. that her. husband was not ill

be patient, for his recovery from a frac-
tured skull would be slow but infinitely
easier for him if'she did her share. This
may not sound difficult, but the fact that
Mrs. C. only understood Sicilian dialect
and that her daughter, aged 11, was very
ie to translate, rade it decidedly’ com-

1eated. Rather upset about the C.’s and
still wondering what | could do for them,
I sought the District Office.” I was so
absorbed with my thoughts that I scarce
noticed the street venders urging me to
buy. brilliant colored materials, or. par-
take of unsavory looking snails. Once at
No. 345 E. 116th street, I settled down
to write in my day-book and make some
definite and satisfactory plans for the C.’s.

This finished { had an interview with
my District Secretary, in which we dis-
cussed my new.case, the S. family. Their
problem was economic maladjustment
and neglected bad health. Thus the
morning sped along.

Quarter of twelve, our usual time to
begin thinking about luncheon, found me
on my way to the M.’s, where I had to
get Francisca and take her to the Neu-
rological Institute for a mental test.
Knowing Mrs. M. from former encount-
ers, I realized the necessity of arriving
at least one hour ahead of time. Fran-
cisca, of course, had forgotten that I
was coming and when in a halting mix-
ture of English and Tuscan, I made Mrs.
M. understand my presence, she pro-
ceeded to scrub and dress her daughter.
This completed, the trouble began. Fran-
cisca would not go—with all the stub-
borness which is inherent in a seven-
year-old Italian, she refused to stir from
|the--room. Mrs. -M.
methods, but soon tiring of these, she
firmly pushed Francisca to the head of
the stairs. Here the unwilling child, still
unmoved by her mother’s threats, was
shoved onto the landing. Exactly forty-
five minutes were consumed in’ getting
her to the elevated. Gentle but forceful
persuasion on every step of four steep
flights left me exhausted, for all the other
families in the tenement came out and
hung over the banisters demanding where
and why I was taking the child.

Once on the elevated, Francisca be-
camé extremely docile and continued so
throughout the) rest of the afternoon.
For two hours we waited our turn and
then her test lasted over a half-hour. As
a recompense for her surprisingly pa-
tient behavior, I gave her a chocolate ice
cream cone. This, I discovered, was a
sad mistake. For once on the elevated

the ice cream cone, and I had to sacrifice
.a previously spotless handkerchief. Per-
“ffiuch al-
ready I would have enjoyed the remark
of a woman next me, but in my, rather

|amused when I heard her say to her

a)
Dr.. Blumgart’s discussion of “Phychi-
atric Problems,” Miss Hamilton’s talk on
“Children’s “Problems” and finally Miss
Kempshall’s
national Aspect of Case Work.”

Then, too, there were many field trips:
The House of Refuge, an-old time home
of correction for delinquent ‘boys, formed
a sorry contrast with the Children’s Vil-
lage, a model reformatory ‘at Dobbs
Ferry, where the boys are not kept under
lock and key, but entrusted with ‘self-
government.. The Children’s Hospital
for the feeble-minded was indeed de-
pressing, but it made us realize the nec-

_essity—for--removing—all_defective.. OY k PRBS

viduals from the difficulties of normal
community life. The Childgen’s Court
was. especially of interest, b€cause’ it
presented a very definite proof of im-
provement through social workers who
have stressed the importance of the pro-
bation system: Our visit to Ellis Island
was rather a disappointment. Due to the
recent change in the immigration laws,
theré were few families coming in at’the
end of the month. Still the procedure
of the immigrants. on arrival and the
sleeping and dining rooms proved much
better than we had anticipated.

By this time you see how hopeless it
is to do justice to all these places-never-

theless, before I stop, I must tell you

that Junior ‘Month “4s not all work and
no play. Theatres, the stadium where
you can hear the New York Philhar-
monic for a mere pittance, the top of the
busses, and even ferry rides to Staten
Island, formed our varied sources of
evening entertainment. There was one
evening a week set aside for “home
night,” which was consumed in discuss-
ing the many problems that were worry-
ing us. On two week-ends we visited
board members. Miss Jennings enter-
tained us the first week in Fairfield,
Conn., and on the third Sunday we had
a charming day with Mr. ane Mrs. Childs
at Stamford.

Almost more important than“the things
you see and do, is the fact that you are
seeing and doing them with thirteen
other Juniors and that you always have
a ready audience to hear your disappoint-
ments and successes. Junior Month is
a possibility for every junior at Bryn
Mawr, but an actuality for only one. It
is such a worth while experience that
only the girl who goes can realize its
infinite value. I know that I feel tre-
mendously grateful to the donor of Jun-
ior Month and the Charity Organization
Society, which has made it possible for.
my. predecessors and for me, and who
will continue to make it possible for our
successors.

ment. Mr. Hammond’s invention makes
it possible to hold the tone for as much
as fifty seconds, instead of the former
fifteen or twenty, and to diminish and
increase the sound giying the tone an
orchestral quality. This result has been
obtained by heightening the tension of
the strings and insulating the case. The
sound waves are controlled by a series of
shutters, placed directly above the string
and underneath the piano and operated
by. a special pedal. When this is de-
pressed, the sound waves are confined
within the chamber, so the pianist can
shade his tones at will.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION s
OFFERS PLANS AND BLAZERS
The Athletic Association is starting the
| year with hopes and ‘plans of giving |
everyone, no matter “what their athletic
abilify, as much pleasure as possible out
of athletics. To do this it is planning
a- thorough reorganization that -will-tend
to leave the necessary organization of
each sport to the players of that sport
and reduce the work of the class cap-
tains and managers by dividing the
classes into larger squads, each of which
will have definite times for playing when
all who are able will come to play with-
out being posted.



Another instituttion*is the awarding of
blazers with various degrees of pocket
insignia; the blazers will be within the
reach of even the lowest team players
and it is hoped that they will gradually
become a part of the regular athletic
equipment of each student/

to college has become competitive. The
change from a few years ago when the
ordinary girl in school preparing herself
faithfully was reasonably sure of admis-
sion to college is.as sudden as itis unex-
pected. Now disappointment as well as
success is quite possible. Important for
the colleges will be the understanding of
girls, parent and school from the first
that the competition is not for a chance
to spend four happy semi-profitable
sophomoric years, but for a foothold on
the ladder of intellectual growth. You
all know that I do not mean that Bryn
Mawr. proposes to itself an enrollment of
intellectual prigs.. But you know a
no°,college of Bryn Mawr’s past -car#ac
cept or keep. students who in .the brief
eight-month college year will deliberately
choose to serve two*masters. Learning
is a hard master and a jealous one. Col-
leges which prize true ‘learning and in-
deed exist to extend” its ‘cause will not
be really contented with any but eager
seekers for their wares. In these days of
pressure for a chance to learn the half-
interested student can not hold her place.

The graduate school numbers this year
75. There are 18 resident fellows and
40 graduate scholars.

We have nine foreign scholars—three
British scholars, two French, two Dutch,
one German and one Swiss scholar: Mar-
ion Gray, of Ayr, Scotland, M. A. Uni-

As Ihave said, I had supposed that
much of my time this summer would be
spent in watching lovingly while the walls
of Goodhart Hall*rose or at least while
the cellar.of Gogdhart Hall was digged.
But another momentous step in the mate-
rial life jof the college has followed
closely on the announcement at Com-
mencement time that an important and
we hoped a distinguished building would
be , added to the. group of twenty- -five
yéars ago. For, many years the alumnae
of the college have hoped that at some
time Bryn Mawr’s neighbor Wyndham
with its beautiful and dignified house, its
wide. green ‘and garden and its old
trees might become the property of the
college. In the early summer an imme-
diate carrying out of this hope suddenly
appeared feasible.
rthe value of land in Bryn Mawr, the value
of. Wyndham to the college if,only as a
protection agdinst the closing in of our
free spaces, thé loveliness of these par-
ticular six acres and their ‘historic con-
nection with the farm and orchards on

which the college is built and the long].

and happy tradition’of the hospitality of
the house to the college students and the
college ideas made a feasible plan seem
instantly a necessary one. And this was
in spite of the fact that the college was
unprepared to embark on so large a pur-
chase. There were, however, many. per-
sons,.to be consulted and holidays day
‘scattered them widely. The negotiations
can actually be completed only at the Oc-
tober meeting of the Board of Directors
of the college, but I can now say that the
property has been secured and that the
college will take title next summer. Dur-
ing this winter, the college will continue
to rent the wing of Wyndham from Miss
Ely for the use of the Music Department
and except as tenant under restrictions of
this wing it has no relation to any part of
the property. As you can at once see this
unexpected addition to the college land
with a possibility for a Student Building
site never-considered before, and the fact
that we shall shortly own the quarters

in which the Music Department has been,

very happily housed made it’ seem in-
stantly wise and indeed necessary to post-
pone a final decision on plans for Good-
hart Hall and the music wing until we
could see how our negotiations _would
end. They were not even tentatively
completed until late August... Mr. Meigs’
plans for the hall and the wing originally
roposed are ready in their preliminary
have been presented to “Mr.
Cram, the Supervising Architect of the
College. On: his report they will be laid
before a joint committee made up of the
Buildings and Grounds Committee of the
Directors and five Alumnae named by ‘the:
Alumnae Board. The architects believe
at least two months will be necessary for
‘the completion of specifications and the
matters preliminary to building, and that
it will not be worth while, or indeed pos-
sible, to begin practical work before early
spring.

It has given me more pleasure than a
president of Bryn Mawr has had for a
long time to tell you today of this long-
desired and suddenly realized purchase.
Bryn Mawr students find themselves sur-
prisingly sensitive to the look of the col-
lege as the seasons pass over it and. re-
member it with curious vividness after
years of absence. To its noble and dig-
nified beauty we have the extraordinary
good fortune to be able to add something
which does not need to bé developed or

improved or even touched, as beautiful

and tranquil as its great trees, soon to be,
for each of you a part of those sharply
drawn youthful memories I have spoken
of. ‘And I am sorry eneugh- to couple
with an announcement over which we
can so rejoice the other which must be
a keen if temporary disappointment, es-
pecially to the senior class who we had
hoped would receive their degrees against

The quick increase in] courses themselves and_



Two questions lie before us, faculty
and students, this year. The first, mainly
a faculty matter, is the working out of

the curriculum along the line indicated ~

by the decision last year. to replace the
double major by the single afid allied
subjects which together form one field of
work, Consideration of the curriculum
and of every aspect of the-academic work,
graduate and undergraduate, of the col-
lege is naturally a standing duty of all
college faculties. But if the colleges are
to take upon themselves -a more careful
selection of those who are to be allowed
to try their ‘minds on undergraduate and
eventually. graduate work, then on the
college’s side there is assuredly laid the
farther duty of increasing the value of
this work to the students both in the

academic arrangements which gdvern
work for undergraduate and graduate de-

grees. We have ah opportunity to select
what. we hope. are’ especially hungry
sheep. We can only meet their look up

by especially satisfactory feeding!
The.second is, I believe, the search fora
new basis of college conduct, a basis not
for the individual student which is at bot-
tom her own business, but for the in-
dividual in her relation to our corporate
body in its various aspects—that is, to all
of us here this morning. And that search
is mainly the business of the students and
especially of the older students who have
come to have a sense of the existence of
a college body which is by no means
merely the gumerical sum of the indi-
viduals who make it up, As* Dr. Fosdick
said in June, obedience, agreement, con-
formity as goods in themselves have
come to seem unreasonable to us. Yet
conduct based on these made possible to
a great degree the living together, the
dealing together through all the ages of
incredibly varied human beings.

The incredibly varied human beings
still exist (1 have a keen sense of them
this morning) and doing away with the
old restraints does not do away with the
old problems of living together. The
problems must be met in some way. : If
the old regulations are cumbrous: and in-
adequate let us waste no more time dis-
cussing them or rearranging their details.
The problems themselves stand relatively
unchanged since the college began. For
instance, to take the simpler ones, the
Bryn Mawr. student must have not only
material equipment for the hard work
we demand of her—but she must have
health, sleep, food and exercise; more
leisure than she has must be possible,
leisure which demands not only freedom
from pressure, but freedom from inter-
ruptions, .confusion, noise. She must
learn independence of action as she learns
independence of thought. She must ac-
quire maturity of Viewpoint as she passes
into full physical maturity, but her inde-
pendence is automatically controlled by a
just allowance of the same possibility to
others, and by a study of the effect on
the whole body of differently developed
ideas of independence. How can these
needs of hers be met? Not by complete
individual liberty, that we are sure of in
the case of our neighbor if not in our
own! If the old one is*outworn what is
a new basis for a discussion of these
reeds ,and their solution?

Dr. Fosdick pointed out in somewhat
this connection that modern thinkers on
morals have not fully availed themselves
of the parallel offered by scientific work
for the solution of the problems which
concerned individual freedom and group
reguiation. The person who knows ex-
actly the end he has in view regulates,
controls, directs his actions to obtain this
end, and does it not to obey or agree or
conform, but because such action is re-
sult-producing. I believe that some such
"basis can be found for our standing prob-
lems, Let us survey ourselves, decide on
the result which we as a community seek
to obtain and arrange our individual con-
duct to bring about what we wish for
ourselves as a community.

way. the students may hear different
points of view and choose for themselves?
Every theory .is considered gravely, in
light of personal experience—for
their points of view are not -mere atti-
tudes, as are so many of ours, but con-
victions by which they live. And the
range of points of view:in a group of
people as varied as these is enormous.
This tolerance of other people’s opin-
ions is part, also, of the friendliness
which characterizes the summer school.
One feels very strongly that everyone
really wants to like everyone else, and
to be liked by them. There is no aloof-

ness, no feeling — to. give oneself often |
“and = = willirigly i

is ~ cheapén oneself.
Rather there is a + Fool I think, that
the more and the closer the contacts one
has, the more one. gains.

The’ eagerness of every student to learn
is to me the most. exciting thing abdut
the school. They are released for a
moment from the endless monotony of
mechanical work, and given leisure to
look about them. And they long to
grasp as much of beauty and learning as
they can in the brief truce. They come
suddenly from the noise and the grime to
the warm quiet and the golden green of
the summer campus. And although they
are preoccupied with the problems of
labor with which ‘they will have to con-
tend all their lives, they have time for
other things. They study the stars which

“have always before been blurred with

smoke for them; they net the butterflies
which never before fluttered near them;
they name the flowers they never before

‘saw growing. And for those who love

beauty—and so many of them. do—what
could be more thrilling than to come for
the first time upon Shakespeare and
Marlowe and Plato, not with the com-+
monplaceness that they have for us to
whom they are a set lesson, but with the
sharp joy of those who discover a new
world.



MISS KING WORKS ON .
ROMANESQUE DURING SUMMER
Miss Georgiana Goddard King, Pro-

. fessor of History of Art, spent the sum-
‘mer in a little shack on the New Jersey

coast.

During the early ok of the summer
Miss King worked a great. deal at her
book on Spanish Romanesque, but spent
even more time on an article on a particular
phase of the Romanesque. This article,
on which she has been working for sev-
eral years for it took close investigation
and was slow to write, will probably be
published sometime during the winter.

SIX BRYN MAWR GIRLS FIND -
_ EAGLESMERE INTERESTING



Y. M.C. A. ‘bela is i.
of Varied Points of View

(Specially contributed by W. Dodd, ’26,

Pres. of the Christian A ssbciation)

Of the six members of the Bryn Mawr
delegation to Eagles Mere, only one had
ever attended a conference before. We
knew that Eagles Mere differed from
Silver Bay, in that small Pennsylvania
and southern colleges were represented.
Beyond that we did not know what we
wéuld find.

There were about
co-educational
normial schools and ‘State colleges. We
lived in comfort in the two hotels near
the lake. ,

Small discussion groups were held in
the mornings on the porches of the sur-
rounding’ cottages. The discussions
were very informal and intensely interest-

ing.
The morning -aaueanbties in the “chapel
were presided over by various outside
speakers, among whom were: H. P. van
Dusen, Judge Florence Allen, Dr. Ar-
buckle, and Mr. Frederick Harris. —

The day before we left, the different
delegations, dressed in gypsy costumes,
sang their songs for the song contest
around the great camp fire. Never were
there six more surprised people than

300 girls in all—

when Miss Bryson, the conference leader;

awarded the cup for the prize song td
Bryn Mawr.

The six delegates feel that there-is a
great deal to be gained from Eagles
Mere as well as from Silver Bay. Our
personal reactions are hard to put down
in black atid white, but any of us will be
only too glad to talk with people who

would like to know more about Eagles

Mere.

Of the six and a half million farm homes in

Still, the advantages of electricity are widely

and that means many miles cf transmission
