EMPHASIZE ° CHASTITY
“I read the other day,” said Miss Carey
in chapel on Wednesday, “an article in
- Harper’s for April, called What = Shall
We Tell the Children? It is the re-
flective lament of a woman of about
thirty-five, who is in despair as to how
she ‘shall instruct her children in regard
to anything—religion, morals,. ethics, -be-
haviour\in general. It occurred to me
as I ‘read\it that this theme—what moral
‘instruction shall be given to the young—
not only is of- perennial interest but has
always been so; and I decided that it
would be fun-to trace the theme through
English literature, to give a background
‘and sense of. proportion to a future dis-
cussion in which I hope to’ give current
ideas on the subject.
“As one looks through moral and didac-
tic Englsh writings, the. first thing of
interest is the recurrence of certain ideas
about young men and young. women.
Always clothes, table. manners, and for
women the’ necessity of quietness, humil-
,
ity, and@above all,. chastity, “eome~again |"
-and“again. — In twelve hundred, there
appeared a book entitled Hali Meidenhad
which is ‘not ‘very interesting to us, since
it extols maidenhoed above the marriage
state. If a maid marries she loses her
freedom and high dignity and is turned
into a drudge. It describes all the draw-
backs of married life, and the joys of a
‘single one.
Knight, Makes Book for Children
“During the. three centuries. following
twelve hundred, apparently many articles
and stories “om \ women, wére’ written—
mostly by men. In the Book of the
Knight’ of La Tour-Landri,. a colléction
of-tales-which thisman~ made for his
motherless daughter, ‘we find” the good
Knight walking in the «garden, heavyy
“with thought, listening to the birds and
musing in this wise: ‘And as Y. was in
the saidé gardein, Y sawe come towardes
me my iii doughters, of the whiche I was
joyfull, and had, grete desire\ that thei
shuld turne to good and worshipe above
all erthli thinges; forthei were yonge,
and had but. tendir witte; and so atte
the begynnyng a man aught to lerne his
doughters with good ensaumples.’ A& he
walks, he thinks of all the terrible things
~that -might--happtir “to his~daugthets, “Of
ic.
howhis fellows have deceived with~fair]-
words the gentlewomen he knows. ‘And
for these: causes aforesaid, Y thought to
- make this litelle boke to my yong dough-
ters, wherupon thei might. rede. and
studie, to that entent that thei . might
lerne and see bothe good and evelle of
the tyme passed, and for to kepe them
in good clennesse and from afl evélle in
tyme comyng.’
“So he makes one book for his ‘sons
and another for. his daughters, in which
there follows a succession of tales, lurid
-and very spicy, recotnting the misadven-
».. tures of unsuspecting and innocent and
wicked women. Each ends witha moral
turn in which the good girl is rewarded
by a splendid marriage with someone like
a King of Greece or Denmark, and the
wicked girl is punished “in some ‘gentle
way such as being: drowned in the river,
or falling into a well, or breaking her
nose. Always the woman with: the
broken_nose_loses_ her husband’s love.
_»--_- Phe-virtues_extolled in the stories are |.
those well-known to the Middle Ages:
piety, chastity, humility, -and obedience.
The ideal girl evidently does not chatter,
nor-eat-too—much, for sing and play in
> Tooie company. It is very important to
keep fast days and to say prayers.
“There are many stories of three daugh-
ters—usually the eldest is beautiful but
light of manrier, the second is wise but
talks too much, and the third, who_is
quiet- and -humble, marries the King ‘of
Denmark. Here it is worthy of notice.
_that the light familiar manner always
loses the husband.

Dr. Taylor Speaks on the
Philosophy of Sperigler
Dr. Lily) Ross
Spengler, the German philosopher, in
Taylor spoke on
chapel on Monday morning, May 13.
She quoted Edward Cheyney's ad-
dress to the United States Historical
Society in January, 1923, in which he
said that Spengler desired to establish
an historical law of the future; what
we need is not a clue to the present,
but to the future. Spengler’s’ own
book begins with these words: “In this
work, for the first time, the attempt
is ventured upon to anticipate in ad-'|.

reading his works.
Spengler isa
Munich, and has refysed many _posi-
{private shot” ‘in
tions in order to continue his- writings
and his work. His first volume ap-|‘
peared in 1917, but the theory was
fully worked” out: before 1914; ‘and is
definitely not post-war pessimism. The
second volume was “published in 1922,
and much literature has appeared on
Spengler éver since, but Miss Taylor
expressed the belief that many of the
critics who-.are unfavorable have. not
read Spengler thoroughly, and at any
rate do not understand him. Spengler
shows remarkable judgment and a
mind ‘of great range arid sweep and ob-
jectivity. He is detached from every-
thing that is going on, and manifests
no ‘national. feeling ¢ or passion or ex-
citement.
Spengler’s object is to establish a
philosophy of world history that will
replace artificial developments of an-
cient, mediaeval and modern by a
A great
culture is the result of the birth of
a.soul which has come to life inthe}
shapeless mass of humanity and which
has gone through the life of ‘a man
—childhood, youth, maturity and old
age, which is the end of growth and
the period of decay. There are seven
such cultures: Egypto-Babylonian, In-
dian, Chinese, Classical, Mogian, Maya
and Faustian. The Russian is now in
the moment of birth. These cultures
differ in different characteristics; our
own, the Faustian, is striving towards
infinity; the aim of the classical was

The Russian culture is being changed
by external influences ; Tolstoi shows
western influence, put if Dostoyevsky
had lived to write *his story of Christ
it would have beeen the: story of a
new evangelist.
Our own culture is about where that
of the ancient world. was in the year
100 B. C. We are at the end of the
really creative period in-art, music and
literature. We are now working for-
ward to development in scholarship
and formalization.
Spengler’s first. volume is entitled
The General Principles of Form and.
Reality, and the second, World Histori-
cal Perspectives. Miss Taylor said that
it was the second volume that had the
most contact with her own experience,
because the-illustrations.and_parallels
from Roman history are so rich.
Spengler insists on the Graeco-Roman
world as a unity, and he considers
Rome the natural development of the
tendencies of the time. He holds that

It ‘is customary on this occasion to
review the events of the past year, but
as I happen to be more interested inthe
future than the past, and as you know
what has happened here as well as I do,
I shall refer to those events only in’ so
far as they point to the future. :
The early collegiatism gave way about
a college generation ago to a pose of
blase indifference to the affairs of. the
college as a whole. But that somewhat
brutal individualism has already borne
fruit, I think, in“the shape of a growing
interest in education as such. If we have
ceased to go picnicking four hundred
strong, to be ‘ready to die on the hockey
field--for-the glory of Bryn Mawr, and
to shout in Greek that it is the best. col-
lege that ever was, we -have at least
paused to ask ourselves, perhaps origi-
nally from purely selfish motives,
whether. the four “years. we spend here
are as worth while intellectually as they
might be, This questioning, which began
as isolated cries of merely destructive
complaint; shows signs of becoming a
serious and united effort to take an ac-

Hampton Quartet in
Perfect Harmony
- The musical genius of the negro race
was again demonstrated by the Hamp-
ton Quartetin the-auditorium of Good-
‘hart Hall on Monday, May 13. Rarely
are the negro spirituals ‘sung in the
simple, : plaintive manner which car-
ries’ to- the’ Héarers the picture of a
suffering race, childlike in its sim-
plicity, yet thrilling with a deep, mys-
tical .experience. -The songs them-
selves, whether swinging to strong
rhythm, ‘borne along by a naive hu-
mor or lost in the. maze of strange
harmonies, have an findertone of sad-
ness. There is a minor, penetrating
note which*can only. be brought out
by utter participation in ‘their :mood.
Just such abandon, coupled with the
unique quality, of voice required, char-
acterizes the. Hampton Quartet. The
fullness of tir, chords with the rich,
sustained bass is strangely comparable
to organ music, andthe plaintive,
almost strained, individual notes re-
create the thrilling‘ sadness of the.
songs. In_more familiar spirituals,
such as eep. River and Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot, the unhampered manner
is lost in an effort to develop to the
fullest the possibilities of rhythm and
harmony. The total impression of the
quartet, however, is one of litter spon-
taneity.
New Opportunity For
Students to Publish
“Mr. Willis H. Kinnear, of Indian-
apolis, has undertaken a ~ publication
which, as far as we know, is quite unique
in the magazine world. Thé new
monthly, to be called Manuscripts, will
be issued for the first *timé during the
third week in next September. . Its ob-
ject is to represent the student writigg of
Americatf’ institutions of learning.
The. publisher writes : “This proposi-
tion is a definite challenge to the pro-
fessor and his student. The magazine is
an outlet for the students’ work—and the
result of the contact he has had with
the professor. What has the professor
done in the moulding of the creative
tendencies of his students?. Is the stu-
dents’ work really creative? Is-the pro-
fessor’s work of any value?. Is it stimu-
lating the student to original writing?
If it is, this is an opportunity for show-
ing what is actually being done in the]
colleges today.
“Manuscripts will be the evidence of
the creative writing of _our universities.
It gives the student author the opportu-|_
nity to publish and become known; we
offer the student his best and possibly
his only chance. It is a way for the
student to show what he is worth.”

Fencing Tournament
On Thursday evening, May 9, the final
matches of the Fencing. tournament were
held in the gymnasium before a small,
but extremely interested audience. The
bouts between the Séhior and Junior
fencers who: carried off the: honors in
the preliminaries were not, however, the
|most exciting events of the evening. The
exhibition bouts with the sabre, the foils
and the epee held those who were pres- *
ent spéllbound, nor was any knowledge
of the rules of the art necessary to ap-
preciate the thrilling display of speed,
keen judgment and grace, made by Mr.
Boeckmans and hts opponents, Dr. Her-
ben, Mr. Robbins and Mr. Groff.
Mr. Boeckmans and Mr. Robbins
opened the tournament by a demonstra-
tion of the Grand Salute, a complicated
series of gestures with the foils, which,
slow and beautiful as it is, showed the
dexterity and precision of the fencers.
After Dr. Herben had’ explained: to the
uninitiated the uses of the three fencing
weapons, Mr. Boeckmans and A. Park-
hurst gave an exhibition lesson, a smooth
and perfectly co-ordinated example of. the
lessons as~ my should be in the fencing le

with the: ‘foils between Mee Boeckmans
and. Mr.- Robbins.
The first college bout, between the
Junior fencers, A. Davison and ~M:
Humphrey, ended ‘in “a victory for.
Humphrey. It_-was-interesting—-to notice
in this and the other college matches the
uncertain and cautious beginnings of the
art which Mr. Boeckmans has mastered
so thoroughly. The next eveng was an
exhibition’ bout with the sabre between
Mr. Boeckmans and Mr. Gfoff. The” =‘
sabre, a more dangerous weapon, with’ its
sharp edge, than the foil; is more excit-
ing to see in motion because ‘it is used
for cutting as well as. forsthrusting. The
exponents of this -branch of ‘fencing’
acted so quickly that their movements
could scarcely be followed though the
audience watched intently. A Senior
match followed betwéen C. Cone and
‘H. Seligman. Their play was conserva-
tive, in very good form, and resulted in
the victory of Seligman. The epee: exhi-
bition bout was of particular interest
because Mr. Boeckmans’ opponent was ©
Dr. ‘Herben, who showed a great deal
of skill in handling the different weapons.
The following. Senior - bout between
H. Seligman and A. Parkhurst, who
fenced in excellent form, resulted in vic-
tory for the latter. Two Junior bouts
were. next: on. the..program.----M.—Hum-:

The final bout was an exhibition be-
tween A, Parkhurst and Miss Virginia
McCall. The quick, graceful match in
beautiful form ‘was another. success’ for
A. Parkhurst. At the end. of the tourna-
mient the medals were awarded. In the
Senior group, A. Parkhurst received first
place, H. Seligman; second, and A. Lord,
third. In the Junior group, first ‘place
was awarded to M. Humphrey, second to °

HALL LIBRARIES.
Now that exams loom threaten-
ingly in the near future, we are all
intent upon making the most of}
every facility for ‘study in the li-
brary and in the halls. Studying in
the library is comparatively easy, for
books can be reserved and located
with little difficulty. In the halls,
however, the situation is entirely
different. Since a librarian for
each hall library is impractical,
every girl has been invested with
‘the responsibility of signing up the
books which she takés. There is no
a reason-why_this_plan-should-not-be|
successful, -yet those who are care-
less in observing the rules have hin-
dered its success. For the sake of
those who are planning to make use
of the hall libs, we feel that we
must make this final plea. fea
hesitate to: take books~out, but, i
the name of all the seaminations
you have ever faced, don’t~fail to
‘sign them up.

were not the outworn representatives
of a race that was long dead, but the
beginnings of a new soul—the Mogian
that was just coming to birth. They
did not understand the Roman politi-
cal forms and so destroyed them.
In giving a summary criticism of
Spengler, Dr. Taylor said that there
is unquestioned truth in the idea that
a civilization brings the. instruments
for its own destruction, but that, on
the whole; Spengler carries the argu-
ment too far. Outworn cultures are
visible; the tired character of the In-
dians, for instance, but Spengler joins
together forms that do not belong to-
gether. The Egyptian and Babylonian
are certainly independent civilizations
a#we know them now, and there is a
definite distinction between the Greek
and Roman cultures; in fact, far-more
than he. realizes.
Spengler throws away the idea of
continuity and survival, but Dr. Tay-

has assumed that we- have nothing

and, iti short, has mechanized the

sion; then and there determining to
carry the torch to all unillumined
Americans, regardless of their per-
centage. The problem as she sees it
can be solved by the use of “Gum
Garages.” An ingenious idea. The
garage comes to the purchaser as a

truly swank one ‘has one’s initials pos-

But let Mrs. Annie Chandler tell you
about this revolutionary,device in her
own succinct way. Her advertisement
is a marvel of candor and constructive
insight. Entitled “The Gum Garage:
Its Telling Points,” it goes on in this
vein:

“Gum holders placed near the doors
of buildings will save the beauty and
cleanliness “of many a fine terrazzo
floor or rug. The garages should also
be used “in ‘all. telephone, booths of
stores, hotels, depots. and stations.
“What a wonderful advertisement
for you to have the name.of your firm
carried tod many homes, theatres, ho-
tels, cafeterias, depots, other cities and
perhaps other countries.
“Head housekeepers of hotels and
“cafetéries have’ told me ‘that sincé the

| May Lantern Wins Praise
For Substantial Material
(Contribyted by Miss Carey.)
Phe haayebantern \ EP its soft? greet’
cover” onters™ ~ pleasant ‘reading for” a.
sprid evening. The contents are varied
enough to suit the most fickle taste, and
‘the. material is. more substkntial than
usual.
Local . color: is introduced only in
Diogenes’ contributien—an apt,’ -and
philosophic comment. on “the prevailing
dress of the campus. The reviewer en-
joys: Diogenes .very‘ much and rejoices
in the freedom given him to say what
he likes by the fact .that he: is dead, a
man, and a Cynic!
The two short stories, Miss Waples’
“Barbara Gayley and’ Miss Syllivan’s
Saxe, are both above average. Saxe is
perhaps the more successful. The theme
is simpler and=easier to handle. Barring
a few rough places: in its articulation, it
is well, ddne; the setting is: very real,
and the characters, especially that of
Mr. Kohler,: are drawn with sympathy
and skill. Barbara. Gayley is especially
good in its conversations and descrip-
tions. Some of the situations are admir-
ably given, notably Forster’s arrival at
the Maine hotel, and the storm as seen
from the lighthouse. .But*the plot is
difficult.to follow..The thread of events,
puzzling to the hero, is equally puzzling
to the reader; and the dénounement. is
not convincing.
Miss Channing’s A’ Home for Freddy
is reminiscent of, her ‘earlier play, Thé
Statue. There is the same spinster hero-
-iné who is finally proposed _to by the
man with whom she has long been in
love. The characters’ are real, and’ the
conversation, especially Freddy’s, is very
natural. Up to the point of Barney’s
entrance the situation develops well.
From: there on, the events seem ‘to the
reviewer too~condensed—to—-be-—-satisfying.
The diversion of the reader’s attention
to Hester fulfils the earlier implications
of the play, but avdéids the emotional as-
pects of.*the situation. ‘Although
Freddy’s last remark. gives tthe play. a
most satisfactory .unity, the ending seems
too stiff and formal even for the char-
acters involved.
~ In Miss --Darlington’s sketch,
Screen,
has been successfully created. A simpler
diction would perhaps make this atmos-
phere more restrained and hence more
impressive; but this is clearly a‘ ‘matter
of opinion, for the piece as it stands is
unusual and arresting. The three poems

Shaw’s translations, “To Lesbia,”’ are
pleasant but not distinguished.’ ‘Miss

study so syinpathetically written that one
is tempted. to feel a degree of kinship
between its writer: and the subject. The
analysis of the separate works is inter-
esting even to a person who. has. not
read them all, and the general criticism
is charmingly given.. Occasionally, gne
.could ‘wish for a little more réstraint in
comment, and perhaps fewer adjectives ;
but here the writer takes yer cue from
Miss Webb herself.
Taken all in all, the May. Lantern is
interesting, pleasant, and at times _im-
pressive. The tendency to publish longer
and more important things seems to the
reviewer a sound one; and the variety
of the contents argues well for the ver-
satility of the College.

“A contenfporary of this Knight, who
writes such amusing tales, was Chaucer’s
follower Lydgate, who also has many
precepts” for the general good manners
of. women, A
characterizes itself in its title as a
“Lytyle Reporte of how Young People
‘Should, Behave.” Its author begins by
ying that to know and practice virtues
is the most profitable thing in the world.
Then he. describes how “babees” who
~ dwell in households should behave at
meals. “He advises “to be ready with
lovely and benign words when you are
spoken to. Do not ‘chatter~and let your
eyes wander about the house. Stand

“Perhaps the most interesting of all
the treatises is a lengthy dissertation
upon the Instruction of a Christian
Woman, written in Latin, by Juan Lius
Vives, ‘in 1523, and translated into Eng-

ardent believer in education for. women,

Precepts for Sons
.-"In the sixteenth century, Roger
Ascham has many theories on discipline
of the young which he eénnunciates in his
books, _. The .Schoolmaster,..and. Toxi-
philus. He also works against dicing
and advocates archery as a cure for all
humours.
“In the Elizabethan Age followed a
great series of “precepts” given by fath-
ers to sons when they are about to set
forth on their travels.. Of these we have
“in Lyly’s Euphities a long elaborate
speech made by Euphues to his_ son,
Philantus.. Also we find Lord Burghley
gives ten precepts to his son Robert
Cecil just before his: departure for for-
eign lands. However, the best known
and most famous of these farewell ad-
monishments is Polonius’ speech to
Laertes in Hamlet.
“Naturally enough the Puritan Age was
full of the most dire kind of treaties on
instruction and education. In the Puri-
tan Primer, there abound rules of be-
haviour for boys and girls, accompanied
by threats of awful punishment and. hell
fire to. those who let. their thoughts stray
from the pursuit of moral justice and

New Contact with Outside World
American colleges have lagged far be-
hitid European universities’ in this re-
spect, but a movement in the United
States toward developing initiative on
the part, df students has now begun in
earnest. The N. S. F. A. has a com-
mittee’ whose sole purpose is to , collect
and formulate ideas and information on
the aims and methods ,of education, for |
the -benefit of colleges indifferent parts |.
of the country. And this. year a Bryn
Mawr student is the chairman of that
committee. Our connection with this
movement is significant, not only in that
it shows our concern with education, but |
also in that it is an “illustration of the
fact that our interests are not bounded
by the Bryn Mawr campus. This grow-
ing concern with the great wide world
has been indicated also by our participa-
tion in the Model League of Nations
Assembly; by the fact that the outside
speakers who are engaged by the stu-
dents are arranged for by a committee
of the Undergraduate Association as a
whole, and come to speak to the college
as a whole, and not, as formerly, simply
to a Liberal Club which included only
a part of the student body; by the re-
vival of a-debating society; and finally,
of course, if you will’.forgive me, by our
recent collaboration «with the, Theatre
Intime and ‘the attendant festivities.
There ig very little danger, I think,
thatthe college wilf turn in upon itself} °°
and forget that things are happeying out-
side it, byt I do feel that the other ten-
dency, the habit of: unquestioning accept-.
ance of, a spoon-fed education, may
creep in again, unless you all realize that
a definite effort is being made to abolish
that habit. This: is my excuse for all
this sermonizing. :
Take an active part in your own edu-
cation. The initiative’ must come: from
you. You have taken the first steps; do
not let them be the last. I said this to
the Freshmen when they came in; I4_
have intruded it upon perfectly happy
smoking-room conversation¢; and I shall
go on saying it as long as there is any-
one left to listen. Know what you want
from your education, and get it.
