_ Socialists Meet

Members. —
In the midst of the noisy fervor of
the Smith supporters and the more re-
strained enthusiasm of the Hoover
following, a new element appears on
the campus. On Sunday evening a
group of liberals and other interested
people met in the Common Room to
consider the Socialist platform and the
party candidate, Norman Thomas.
When the platform had been read
and copies distributed to be studied
at leisure, the meeting was thrown
open for discussion. Mrs. Hornell
Hart, who has been a Socialist all her
life, gave some of her reasons for it.

Rapid Growth of Education.
in China Explained by Yen
An eager and attentive audience lis-
tened to Mr. Y..C./James Yen, Direc-
tor of the Chinese Mass Education’
Movement, as he spoke in Goodhart
Hall Friday evening, October 19. The:
Far Eastener was very much at his
ease, and told his listeners that he
was. glad to be back to the country
where he spent his best college years.
: : r ;
uae subject of the evening, however,
was about ‘the mass ‘editcation move-:
ment. . '
“The Chinese Mass Education move-
ment originated in the World War
when the Allied armies needed Chinese
labor for the manufacture of ammu-
nitions. I had charge of five thousand
Chinese laborers in Bologne in north-
ern. France,” Mr. Yen continued.
“They were very indwwstrious.workers,
some of them decorated with medals
for their bravery. ._But they were
homesick and illiterate. This pained
-meé.very-much,..So-1- thought of teach-
ing them the fundamentals of Chinese
language. In order to do so, I wrote
text books for them, and posed myself
as their teacher,”
The people who enlisted under Mr.
Yen’s flag of learning ranged from
twenty to fifty years of age. The first
group of these labor students num-
bered forty. But soon.the interest of
the other laborers was roused and
more .came. to register until more
teachers_-were-needed;~ Mi. Yen, there-
fore, asked eighty Chinese students
who were.then in Paris to help. A
conference was-held, arter which the
volunteer teachers went: back to the
camps and started a_ten-sheet paper
called “The Chinese — Laborers’
Wen
From that day on Mr. ‘Yen devoted
himself to the education of the illiterate
mass.
The beginning of the Mass Educa-
tion Movement consisted in thtee-dif-
ferent steps, the speaker told his atten-
tive audience. |
Revision of Text-Books Needed.
First, the writing of text books in
the spoken language, or Pei Hua. In
China the written, or classical, lan-
guage is different from the spoken
language.. It takes a. long. process of
painful study to master the classical
language.

duce the rice or weave the -cloth for
their countrymen are either too busy
or too poor to go to school to learn
«how to read and write. For the classi-
cal latiguage is the only recognized
medium. for’ written communication.
Hence they become illiterate. “Im-
agine,” added the speaker humorously,
“your prominent men-conducting things
in Latin. _Then you too will have
illiteracy in America.”
“But,” Mr. Yen went on explaining,
“everybody speaks Pei Hua, even the
scholars. There are about forty thou-

(Specially Contributed.)
The Lantern takes pleasure in’ an-
noufcing that a generous friend has
offered two prizes of fifty dollars each
—one for the best piece of prose, the
other.for the best piecé of verse writ-
ten hy an undergraduate and published
in one of the first three issues. The
prize-winners will be announced in the
last issue. The judge for the verse
has not yet been decided, but the judge
for the prose is no less a personage
than Mr. Christopher Morley.
Beginning with the. statement that
he is “too old a friend of the ‘Lan-
‘tern, to call any of its editors ‘MISS’,”.
Mr. Morley writes:
“Of coursé I shall be glad to act as
judiciary. T take it that I will only
have to read the contributions actually
printed in the magazine, not the whole
run of the mill, Anyhow, send them
along, as and when; I’ll do my best.
“I hope the Lantern is still (I’m
sure it is) as charming a magazine as
it was twenty. years ago (count them)
when we youngsters onthe Haver-
fordian ‘used to wonder how our
neighbors of Pallas Athene seemed to
know so much about life and litera-
ture andcould so gracefully convey it
‘in print.”
The Editorial Board. urges the lit-
erary-minded not to lose their chance
of these ‘prizes, and to have contribu-
tions for the first issue in by Novem-
ber first. Hand them to a by editor;
or if shy, insinuate them into her room
when she is out. ue
Another pleasant announcement is
the addition of Evelyn’ Waples, ’31, to
the. Editorial Board,.to. take the. place of
‘Emily Lewis. ~
Don’t. forget the Art~ Competition,
and even if you don’t want to try out,

periment, our art needs encouragement
if it is to succeed.
Thomas Receives Miss
King’s Vote and Praise
Miss King has authorised us to publish
the. following statement, giving her rea-
sons for supporting Norman Thomas in —
the coming, Presidential election: -
WHY /VOTE FOR NORMAN
‘THOMAS? BUT WHY NOT?
You could not ask me to vote for the
candidate who satin the Harding cabi-
net to the end and after; nor for the
candidate Who sits in Tanfmany’ Hall and
is not quite easy about keeping the law.
I want to see the whole country vote
“about prohibition and to vote for it, di-
rectly and immediately; but prohibition
apart, I cannot see that the Democratic
party is any different from the Republi-
can, nor the leading members” thereof any
more to-my taste, any nearer my con-
victions. True, I am not a Socialist,
being too stubbornly individualist ever
to come in to that party; but they and I
have a long distance to go together be-"
fore the parting of the ways—further
than we shall get just yet.
But why not Norman Thomas, when
I can stand ‘on his fundamental prin-
ciples and approve his record, even
though I may not go so far myself on
the former and can only. applaud him
along the ‘latter? We hold the same
faith and we have a common trust.
Therefore: the best I can do is to
strengthen a strong minority, the ‘nore
content as I question if. one ever saw
a majority that was not in the wrong.
What candidate of any party strong
enough to-elect him, represents a body fit ,
to have the power? I can, however, vote |
for the futtire.. Glad am I to have been
allowed to. cast my first ballot for Eugene
V.Debs; I shall be well satisfied this
year: to-cast one for Mr. Thomas.

“We were foundly fated Tast’®
week for our remarks on the new
athletic system. Childish, hasty,
narrow and inconsistent are only
a few of the epithets that were ap-
plied to us, Narrow, we hope we
are not; childish, we may be; hasty,
perhaps we were. We were told
on whag we understood to be good
authority that we would be “on
our honor” throughout the year to
attend _three supervised . athletic
classes a week, for which we
should sign at specified hours.
With that understanding we ex-
pressed our. opinion: jf we were
wrong we are only too willing to
retract.
- Our four contributors inform us
that we may include in our three
periods golf and riding—if this is
‘eso, of which we are’ still in doubt,

then we will do peacefully: that
more : reasonsble and ‘simplified

Oné thing more, however, we
wish to say to our critics. “Why,”
they ask, “did those suffering from
overburdened consciences not ob-
ject when given a*chance instead

sistent point of view in‘an edito-

know no better place for express-
ing our opinions than in an edi-
torial. If*we ‘had expressed it
elsewhere, for instance, how could
pointed out to us the error of our
ways? In the second place, we
take exception ‘to “presumably

names of the members’ of the
Board are printed at the head of
the editorial page. Every editorial
is voted on by the Board. To that
extent we do .represent public
opinion. .But we cannet be ex-
‘pected to represent the private
convictions of every reader. When
they differ, we are glad to receive
and print their letters and to
answer them fairly. We, too, like
ithe gym -department, have felt: the
sting of hasty criticism. We, too,
‘strive to please, -and we, too,
would ‘like’ to have our - good
points noted now and then, as well
as our bad. —
“IF WINTER: GOMES—”
We have long been wondering
what will happen when the first
flakes of snow make bare legs and
cotton socks an impractibility.
Of course there is s always the pos-
sibility of socks oVer stockings, in
fact this is even a common prac-
tise among the more conservative
in the spring and fall, but we are
hoping - that~-someé . will not “be
daunted by the chilly blasts, and
that they will continue’ to expose
the limbs. It would be such fun
to lay—bets- on which of your:
friends would be the next victim
of chilblains, and frozen
would provide a whole new. topic
for smoking room conversations.
On the other hand, the faculty
has probably been long anticipat-
ing the first frost.that would drive
the naked parts to protection in
stockings. Will bare legs. go the way
of all weak things or are we a race
of truly hardy members?

Hoover Club Organized,
V. Loomis Is President.
Responding to the Democratic sum-
mons the Hoover Club has been
formed and has nominated two of its
embers to uphold the negative side
‘the ~Hoover-Smith debate’ on
nesday evening. Virginia Loomis,
President of the new organ‘zation, ‘has
established headquarters in her. room
in Pembroke East and will. deliver
pamphlets and stickers to good» Re-
publicans or wavering Democrats.
By the time this paper is- in the
hands of its readers the great debate
will be at an.end~ The question will
have beén solved. Either it will be
resolved that Al Smith would) make
a betier President than Herbert
Hoover, or it will be established that
‘he would not. We will not.be able to
print the results till next week. But
we can mentally set the stage for the

Marginal Art—A Competition.
Hearing some talk of “marginal in-
terests” as those interests are termed
which preoccupy the» working man
out of office hours, we were moved to
consider a favorite enjoyment of our
own, i. e., Marginal Art. Beginning
| with Freshman English, we have been
“wont-to- adorn the .wide borders of our

acter: we still gaze with pride on the

of what’s-his-name eating a surfeit of
lampreys, and similar choice bits. We
find adjacent to our history notes long
lines of mediative profiles, page after

are represented which should prove

the range and usefulness of their activi-
ties, have not contributed largely to the
sum of ‘creative literature. When, a few
years ago, Mrs. Barnes began to publish
some of these stories in the Pictorial |’.
Review, Harper’#tand The Red Book we
were delighted and in a way reassured by
this achievement of a “prominent alumna.”
“But short stories as they appear in maga-
zines are like ‘people’ seen on the street.
We hardly take them in as they pass.
Collected in a book, in their own milieu,
backed by their own kind, the impression
they leave is more definite and more
complete. a ‘
+ Charming and (niallteins ‘people, the’
kind one talks to at nice dinner parties—
one finds them so rarely in books, now
and then on the stage and never in the
movigs. -In Mrs. Barnes’ book they are
completely at home, neither sbeing grand
to impress the simple public, »nor stupid
and frivolous to satisfy the ego of those
who despise “society.” Yet we cannot
deny that there is ‘about them a roman-
tie glow, something like that cast by
candles on the table, and the light of
crystal chandeliers reflected_from polished
silver, and bare shoulders. The amenities
of social life are not forgotten or, trans-
- gressed. . Tragedy, sordidness, drama
would be as shocking in the atmosphere
of this book as they would be at a din-
ner party. Mrs.” Barnes had the sure
and rare gift of taking a tone and hold-
ing it, with never a slip or a false note.
All this may give the impression” of
superficiality. But Mrs. Barnes’ material
is not so much on the surface as nar-
rowed in range. - It is rooted in psycholo-
gical truth, and if it reflects one point
of view only it does so honestly and
delightfully. What is this point of view?
Reduced to its simplest and most general
terms, it is that of an intelligent and
attractive man or woman, whose life
has been nejther uncomfortable nor -un-
usual, who is old enough to have experi-
erices to look back on, and young enough
to be still looking forward, and whose
. interest is primarily in people of his own
kind. I say “his,” but inevitably Mrs.
Barnes does the ladies best. Martha in
The Dinner Party (is itxan accident that.
she isa Bryn Mawr graduate?) is the
ablest, the most charming and the most
complete development of this type. .We
quote from her.. thoughts.
“Was. it just her-.own. limitation. that
‘she couldn’t conceive of a cause ‘about
which she.could really be earnest, ‘as she
conceived earnéstness? Personal, fatally
personal, that .was her difficulty. These
others, getting up benefits, attending com-
mittees, holding \meetings. Doing the
serious work of the world, of course.
But what work was their to. do that was
serious, except just thinking. Thinking
about the people you knew, and yourself,
pigeon-holing impressions, jumping to
conclusions—what was it Tommy always
said about her, ‘More and_ better con-
clusions were her aim in life’—getting to
understand a little. That was the fun of
being thirty-six.”
As we see it, Mrs. Barnes could not
have written a better paragraph to de-
scribe her -own attitude.
There are, of course, variations on the
theme. Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves is an
amusing “study of what happens to the
American self-made dynasty in three
generations. The title gives it away.
Arms and the Boy takes us to Paris
instead of Chicago, and so permits it-
self: just a little more romance than in
the restrained, at home. atmiosphere of
the other stories. Set a Thief-and The
Eyes of Youth betray the magazine in-
_the-tired--business- man;~-But the-remain-
-ing four, especially Home Fires; The
Dinner Party and Perpetual Care, are in
the pleasant selfconscious vein which
Mrs. Barnes does best. If. Martha is a
triumph of introspection, Marion in Home
Fire is a marvel of half-mocking, half
admiring observation. We hope to meet
one or the other again in the play written
by the same author which is to appear
in New York in Nov vember,

Democratic Candidate
Passes in Review
President: Park, in chapel.on Mon-
day morning, aroused the college from
its ‘traditional* sleepy state by saying
that she was going to speak on. poli-,
tics. She began by saying that, al-
though she had grown up as a Repub-
lican, she had voted the Democratic
ticket for the past two Presidential
elections, and since_she approved the
Democratic policies in national issues,
she is voting for Smith this time.
She believes that, though the Demo-
cratic party has faults, it is the more
liberal and plastic of the two parties.
Citing examples, she showed how the
great steps forward in our history have
been made under Democratic or Inde-
pendent Presidents. - She feels that
Hoover would follow rigid . traditions
as Smith would not do.
It is a habit of a party out of office
to.\take over some of the policies of
the ‘party in office. for the purpose of
catching votes; and Miss Park said
that she regretted very much the fact
that the Democrats have ‘given up
their traditional stand on the questions
of tariff and of the League of. Nations,
but-that this was something that could
not be avoided.
She then asserted that it —" no
difference to her that. Smith is a Catho-
| lic and a member of. Tammany. He
has tried to get free of it, and any
large city has a political machine that
is 6qually as: corrupt as that-of New
York. Miss Park regrets, however,
that it is necessary“to belong to one
of these machines. She does not
count the personal criticisms as sefi-
ous, and as.a matter of fact they are
almost exactly the same as those that
were applied to Lincoln, shown in the
letters of C. F. Adams.
Miss Park does not share Smith’s
personal attitude toward Prohibition,
nor does she approve of his solution,
but shé’ thinks that it is something that
can only be accomplished by. educa-
tion, and. education, in- tinny, | only
come with’ time. A ‘vote. for ‘Hoover
will ‘not help it, and if Mellon. remains
| the Secretary of the Treasury there
will be no immediate change.
Smith has had experience in the
problems of New York State for four
terms, and has.shown qualities neces-
sary for -the. executive -of the nation.
He, has proved his executive ability by
his power in getting’ legislation
through’an opposing legislature; some-
thing that Wilson could ‘never do.
‘Furthermore he gives great value to
first hand information, and’ knows a
great deal about such things as the
water power and the State labor laws.
He has -made intelligent appointments
with the exception of Raskob, and a
few_others.
He cares for the people’s interests,
and-is honestly eager to give them
,what they. deserve, such as hospitals
and. employment.
Smith’s_ connection’ with Owen..D.
Young gives him a far- looking policy,
and he is essentially a growing man.
Hoover would be set; but Smith ap-
plies his knowledge of small things to
bigger ones, and his point of view. is
continually enlarging. -

to be hampered, and in part controlled,
by the gratitude. and’ intimate. .associa-
tions of a lifetime. If for no other rea-

- SOCIALISTS MEET
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 -
Several of the people: present disa-
greed with him on this point and cited
instances of the sane and tolerant spirit
shown both by ‘the’ Socialis platform
and by Thomas himself. Dr. Cadbury,
when asked to testify, stressed his high
admiration;~based on first-hand knowl-
edge, of: Thomas as a man, a liberal,
and an idealist. He added a word of
encouragement for those whose ardor
is inclined to be dampened by the
seenting hopelessness of. a minority
party—that most of us have several
more Presidential campaigns before us
and that.in voting for Thomas in this
one we are building for. the futuré,
Thomas himself. was quoted in’ this
connection on the value of minority
parties. -The ideas for most of the
progressive and social legislation . in
our histéry have originated with the
Socialists or other minority parties,
and the major parties have found it
necessary to incorporate these ideas
in their platforms and later to put
them into practice.. Specific examples
are the ideal of free edtication and the
principle of public ownership.
A very practical suggestion advanced
by. Dr. Cadbury found great ,favor
with the meeting. It is particularly
recommended to those “who feel that
a vote for a Socialist candidate is a
voté lost. Each person ‘of liberal sym-
pathies who intends to vote for Smith
as the more liberal of the major can-
didates is. urged to seek out someone
who has the same. feeling ‘about
~Hoover—or vice versa. Then the two
agree to vote for Thomas, and lo! in-
stead vd ss ark icabd vous,
- a
they. are casting two votes for the
cause of liberalism; Why not try this
out in- the straw vote to be held this
week?
Finally we wold state that all for-
ward-looking people who may be -in-
terested can secure literature and
further information from anyone wear-
ing the little red button insetibed with
the names of Thomas and Maurer.
Right Choices Point-W. ay
to Genuine Happiness
The problem of- choice was discussed
in chapel by Dr. Henry Joel Cadbury on
Tuesday morning. Dr. Cadbury used
two selections from Matthew to illus-
trate his topic: First, the parable of the
man who discovers a field of treasure;
and then the account of Jesus’ encounter
with. the rich-man—who-desires to know
the way to eternal, life,
- These two men represent two panels
of life. Since they each were given the
power of choice, their fate was in them-
selves, not in their stars. But they chose
differently, since one thought. of what he
would gain and the other’ of what he
would losé. Also their mood in choos-
ing was different: the first man “for joy
thereof goeth and selleth all he hath;”
the second man “went away sorrowful.”
Make Your Choice Gladly. _
Choice is not merely a matter of atten-
tion, but of. spirit. You won't choose
rightly at all unless you choose gladly.
The problem of choice is most difficult,
and involyes much more than a decision
as to what courses to take or whom to
vote for in the Presidential election. Life
is made up of many choices, maybe not
so dramatic as these two Biblical ones,
but existent just the same.
One can cultivate—even in our modern
life—the art of making right choices
easily, gladly and gracefully. Perhaps
education, which teaches us suspension
of judgment, and the shifting standards
of right and wrong make this more diffi-.
cult; but by being ready for choices in
advance, by shaping our characters~so-~ ~~
that they will perfectly control our
destinies, we may hope to find the proper |
paths through life and to attain to real
pps.

“What we need, then, is to be put in

and who will make-us_at least stop. to

Exercise Requirements
Lafayette College has a unique fresh-
man physical training policy. All fresh-
men are given a physical training ex-|.
amination and are rated in four classes
according to their physical condition.
Those making Class “A,” of which there
were seventeen in-enumber, are excused
from physical .training. Class “B” stu-
dénts are required to engage in some
sport twice a week. “C” students must
‘attend gym twice each week, and engage
in some sport two other days in the week.
ThowX frosh rated “D” are given special
‘assignments in physical exercises. The
plan may seem a bit too exact, but cer-
tainly it gives to each student, except
those in Class “A,” that attention which
accords with his needs.

“The movement started in March,

tinued. “That very year nine hundred

examination and received their
diploma. In 1925 there were one hun-

branches in twenty provinces, reaching
as far as Tibet. Nog\’there are five
to six million students and one hun-

“The reason for the.success of this

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
STAND SQUARELY FOR TARIFF
