_ Second Varsity Overwhelms
- Saturday Morning Club
On Saturday, February 14, the Sec-
ond Varsity opened the basketball.
. season very auspiciously with a 51-16|
ie
victory over the Saturday Morni
Club. Led by Captain Harriman, the
team showed a unity hardly to be ex-
pected so early in the season.
Harriman and. Boyd after a few min-
utes of warming up began to drop the
ball in whenever it came their way.
They seemed to go well together. De-
spite the fact that Boyd only shoots
from one spot, she was able to work
herself into it without losing any op-
portunities for scoring.
_ The forwards’ ‘chances were greatly
increased by the excellent playing of
Engle, who looped the ball over to the
forward under the basket with accu-
rate shots. Alb her passes were sure
and apparently easy to hold on to>
Longacre generally got-the jump. She
has a tendency to walk with the ball
and as a result there were a good many
out of bounds throws for her opposing
centre. The only apparent break in
centres who rarely passed to each
other;
. The guarding was good. Le Saul-
nier in particular covered her forward
consistently well.
For the .opposing team Miss Sharp
was by far the, best, often catching
Longacre at her own game by stand-
ing in front of her and intércepting
passes. E

RECEPTION AT DEANERY
Continued from Page One
school is that in it are taught students
who want tremendously to learn. As
in the early days of Bryn Mawr, the
greatest. difficulty is. keeping students
from overwork. Miss Thomas con-
cluded by turning the meeting over to
Hilda ,Thomas, ’31, who introduced the
speakers that followed.
The’ first of these was °Miss Hilda
Smith. She told of the fouriding of the
school ten years ago by:Miss Thomas,
and. of. its. great possibilities for the
future, of the sort of background of
the workers that come, why special
schoofs are needed for women workers,
what the courses.of the school are, and
what its work leads to. There are a
hundred students every summer. They
are grown women between 20 and 35
years of age. All are required to have
a_ background of at least two years in
industry. Most of them are used to
long-hour’s of monotonous work in fac-
tories. Some work at very simple ma-
chines, others at highly intricate ores.
A 6th grade education or its equiva-
lent is required for entrance. but this
requirement is loosely construed; some
have never .been to school. Others,
however, have been one or two years
in high school., Ability to write-and
read-Engtlish to a certain extent is
required. Good health .is another re-

‘The workers come from all over the
United States and from Europe to the

mer to the school from California. An-
other walked all the way from Chicago.

American workers.
Tired workérs, no matter how eager,
can learn little in night schools. Con-
ferences are too short; university ex-
tension courses are too expensive, too
“high-brow” and their lectifrers are
usually unappreciative of the experi-
ence and problems of the working class
group.
The: campus. in.summer is a most
picturesque place; there is every sort of
opinion represented and no two people
agree on any subject. -It is very stimu-
self-government in which they take an
active part. The school is divided into
six units on the basis of a psychologi-
cal test which tests chiefly reading
‘ability. In every group Economics and
English are required. Courses are
planned in consultatidn with the work-
ers. For-English there are speeches,
papers and forums. Seience is-a popu-
lar subject; Room D in Taylor swarms
with rabbits and guinea pigs, and at
night outside a line of students waits
before a telescope to study the stars.
The two months at school are only
the beginning of an _ intellectual
renascence. Many former students are
forming night classes. The school is
them to get teachers and
proper text books. Many have de-
veloped an, interest in legislation and
are starting worker’s clubs. Many
things are wrong with our present
industrial system under which so many
suffer. It is up to us to educate the
worker that he may better his lot.
Miss O’Connor, of the neckwear
trade in Philadelphia, was the next
speaker. She told feelingly of the manner
in which she came to summer school, of
the indescribable beauty she found in
the campus, of the joys of privacy and
of self-expression. It has taught her,
she said, to have sympathy with and

She told of the variety of opinion pre-
sented in the classes by outside speak-
ers and by. the students. She stressed
the importance’ of English and Eco-

Miss Hilda Smith added as a final
word a plea for financial as well as
moral support for the school.
Mouse Disrupts Thorne
School Game in Gym
Monday, February 16, a mouse, very
small, fat and brown crept from a crack
to sniff a heap of coats promiscuous
just outside the: gym. A young furor
ensued. The immediate suspension of
basketball on the part of the* Thorne-
Schoolers was followed bythe forma-
tion of an eager ring of sprawling’ spec-
tators. At first the small mouse
seemed to keep his smallwits~ about
him: “perhaps “visions of © cracker
crumbs in sundry pockets had made
him rash. At any rate he whisked in-
trepidly in and. out and over tailor-
made tunnels, hills and valleys. Sugar

Pockets, at length, were searched: out

now the hue and cry was after him.
When last seen he was heading in des-
peration toward the swimming pool.

Everything. from desecrating to’ re-
juvenating the country has been placed on
the héads of college students. Now Dean
Manning, of Bryn Mawr,/says they are
responsible for over-work. 'The constant
pressure of life in the United States plus
the immaturity of college students is
blamed. The moral of that is devote
yourselfto «studies only or_read books
and become mature.—//tnter Bulletin
