Dr. Kohler Shows That
Apes Are Intelligent
C
(Contributed by V.. Fair, ’29.)
Witbin the year the chief protagonists
of the two most recent movemients
psychology have spoken.at Bryn Mawr:
last Navember, Dr. John B. Watson,
Behaviorist, champion of the “condi-
tioned. reflex,”
ness,
fessor Wolfgang Kohler, Configuration-
ist, and observer of the behavior of apes,
whom he credits with true insight. Dr.
Watson’s method. of investigation is to
present his childfen and animals’ with
simple problems, in thé soltition of which
there is no opportunity for insight; Pro-
‘fessor Kohler begins with problems de-
and enemy of conscious-
yet Apt beyond the limitations of the
apes’ equipment. It is not surprising,
therefore, that the Behaviorist’s conclu-
sion should be that behavior consists o
a mechanistic concatenation of simple
units, each dependent upon the one _pre-
ceding it, and fufctioning according to
the laws of chance; and that Professor
Kohler’s experiments should indicate .for
him that his animals have ani ability to
grasp the significance’ of a total ‘situa-
tion,. thereby... exhibiting—intelligence.
Further, Professor~Kohter~ substitutes a}
‘ dynamical-physiological basis of experi-
ence. for- Dr. Watson’s mechanical-
physiological explanations. _ The: replace-
ment of a mechanical by a dynamic
hypothesis involves consequences which
can. be best understood fron a quotation
from’ Professor Kdhler’s book, Gestalt
Psychology:
“Instead of reacting to focal stimuli by
: Yocal and independent events, the organ-
ism reacts t@an actual constellation of
stimuli by a total process, which, as-a
. functional whole, is its response to the
whole situation. This is the only view-
point which can explain how to'a given
local stimulus there may~ correspond
altogether different experiences, as soon
as the surrounding stimulation is
changed.”
This conception of résponse to a total
its form rather than its ele-
ments, is the central thesis of Gestalt
psychology, the psychology of shape, In
this respect, Gestalt has adopted the con-
cepts of the mewer physical science: the
Einstein theory” of. Relativity and the
psychology’ of Configurationism have
-assumed -cosmic. interdependence and
psychic . interdependence, respectively;
both. theories claim to-conform™~ better to
the facts~than the assumptions of the
‘older Newtoriian physics and mechanistic
psychologies; and both have united
under-one common explartation facts that
previous theories regarded as discon-
nected anomalies. Finally, as a conse-
quence of this very parallelism, Gestalt
psychology tends to .view the physical
and psychological as a single system, and
hopes thereby to throw new light on the
old problem of mechanism and vitalism,
matter and spirit.
In his Jecture, Professor Kohler dem-
onstrated the application of Gestalt psy-
chology in the’ field of intelligence by
describing a numberof experiments with
apes. The tasks which he set his animals
were tests of intelligence
reactions,” discrimination,
original problems.
The apes were permitted to watch the
experimenter as he buried food in the
ground outside their cage, and fourteen
hours afterwards they were allowed to
leave the cage; whence they went imme-
diately to the exact spot where the food
had been hidden. On another occasion,
imitation, and
-the—animals~-watched- while-a~stick was
placed out of sight above the rafters in
their cage, and the next day, when ‘they
had need of a tool to get food which
was out of, their reach, they remembered
the. hidden stick, climbed up, took it
down, and. used it. -Both the ability to
remember the hiding place, and the reali-
zation that the ‘stick would -enable them
to reach the food, Professor Kéhler in-
_terprets.as evidence of intelligence. |
In problems of discrimination the ape
shows himself particularly able. Rats,
when presented with two stimuli of dif-
ferent brightness, can learn to go-to the
brighter (or darker), where they are
rewarded with food.__A-graph—of-the+

Monna de Montoliu, the daughter and
pupil of Placido de. Montoliu, formerly
an instructor’ of dancing at the Thorne

Wednesday, May

panied by Dorothy Hodge, violinist, and
Muriel Hodge, pianist.
The dances. were prettily rendered, but
were uninteresting as they lacked origi-
nality:of form and interpretation.. Miss
de Montolu was graceful and light-
feted, although “her movements varied
only._within afew .types,..and-—caught-
little of: the motif in the more subtle
music of her program. Common dra-
matic figures were introduced, and char-
acter costumes typified the various com-
positions. Miss de Montoliu is limited

played in the clever but ‘superficial

written by one of our sophomores, which

rather tasty allusion to spring activities

ests in your part of the country, I’m all
in favor of a Bryn Mawr-Dartmouth

sults of the senior: questionnaire, how-
ever, I’m afraid that considerable work
will have to be done first along the line
of better relations. In this questionnaire

ment whatever, suddenly chooses the
right stimulus, and never makes a mis-
take thereafter., Such an abrupt drop in
the learnin& curve Professor Kohler at-
tributes _ to a sudden reorganization of
the field. The ape, in a lucid moment,
“sees the point” of the problem, and
thereby displays what can only be char-
acterized as insight.
Real imitation, according to Professor
Kohler, far from. being a Dlind ‘instinct,
demands intelligefice. The anthropoid’s
proverbial “aping of man” is not imita-
tion, but an exercise of activities natural
to.the ape. Indeed, these. animals, wher
they have never seen a human being,
are proficient in head-scratching,. strut-
ting, and grasping. Mere copying, too,.
or what Kohler ‘calls “serious play,” is
not imitation. in the true sense of the
word. The apes, for, instance,-on seeing
the native women. at Tenerife washing
their clothes’ in the stream would go
through all the motions of laundering
with old papers and rags, probably with-
out - understanding the significance of
those motions. ItNis when imitation is
carried out for a practical purpose that
inteltigence appears most clearly. The
apes.wére able to place one box on top
of another in “order to reach~a banana
| suspended ‘from - the» ceiling, on . being
shown the procedure by the experi-
menter or other apes. Similarly, they
“saw the point” of unhooking a door
from the wall in order to swing it out
beneath an objective, as soon as the &x-
perimenter. ‘unfastened it for © them.
They had been tugging futiley. at the
door, untj} they saw that the hook was
holding ‘it back. As soon as the connec-
tion between hook and door had been
grasped, they unloosed the hook. Their
solution was not achieved by hit or miss
methods (“trial and error”), but by. sud-
den insight into the -situation:
that such imitation is not as éasy as it
may appear, Professor Kohler described
the continued failure of one of his
stupider animals to imitate the behavior
of its companions in making an adapta-
tion_to a new situation. The apes were
accustomed to dance in a circle about a
pole in the middle of their cage. When
a second pole was - introduced, they
changed the circular form of the.dance
poles. “I fe’ stupid” ape, however, never
and persisted in getting out of line and
going around the first pole, although it
had the example of all the othet apes
to follow. IAts«situation was like that of
the student who cannot repeat the entire
solution of a mathematical problem ex-
‘plained by the professor until he. under-
stands the significance of the individual
steps with respect ‘to the whole.
In the solution of original problem
too, the intelligence of apes is not un-
like that of man.:-In_ their handling of
tools they show an-understanding of the

Continued from the First Page
withdraw before June. These with-
drawals’ are usually because of eco-
nomic’ conditions, If a girl has been
out of' work for most of the winter,
as hundreds of workers have been in
the last two years, she cannot give up
even a slight chance of work during
the summer months. Some one ill
in the family, or some member out
of work and losing wages, means that
the Summer School applicant is forced
to withdraw, .in order to help the
family situation with her own wages.
A girl who has been unemployed for
months suddenly finds a job, and’ de-
‘cides that she cannot come to the
school’ and risk losing the work en-
tirely. The margin of economic free-
dom is so small that any one of these
changes or many others will mean
that a candidate must decide against
coming to the school.
The factory ‘workers who’ finally
‘ome to Bryn Mawr have shown de-
cided qualities of courage and _ initia-
family, employers or friends. | One4
girl wrote, “I.never saw such a bunch
of crepe hangers as my friends are
turning out to be when I tell them
I'm goifig away to school. One tells
me I will never live through it.
Another asks mé what I will do with
more education when I get it; another
says, ‘Think of all the money you
could make in those eight weeks.’ But
so far no one fas been able to take
the starch out of me or discourage me
in any .way.” Italian girls especially
have great difficulty in -convincing their
families that to venture so. far away
for eight weeks is not dangerous. Very
often these girls bring a.father or
mother along when they.come to Bryn
Mawr and rejoice to find that there are
tions from Great Britain have been
received, and two of them will be ac-
cepted; one from a machine operator

the labor movement; , t*¢. other also
froni a garment worked who has at-
tended workers’ classe¥ at Ruskin. Col-
lege in Oxford. ~ Both these applicants
have had wide experience with women
workers in England and are eager to
learn something of American condi-
tions. It was hoped.that two German
students might also be included this
year, but the difficulty of finding
traveling funds for German workers
is very serious. .
Every accepted student is awarded a
scholarship of $250, covering all her
expenses for the two months. This
scholarship fund is raised through in-
terested groups -and individuals in
every part of the country. The sum
contributed each year by. the -Bryn
Mawr undergraduates makes it pos-
sible for five or six students to attend
the gchool.
The school wil jopen at 10:30 on the
morning of June 15.. Miss Frances
Perkins, the new Commissioner of La?
bor for New York State, the first
woman. to- be-appointed-to- this office,
will be the chief, speaker. President
William Green, of the American Fed-
eration ‘of Labor, has also been in-
vited, and it is hoped that Pregident
Park will be at the meeting, to wel-
come. the students. Bryn Mawr un-
dergraduates and alumnae who are in
the neighborhood are invited to attend
the opening. i
After the opening the school de-
votes itself for the week-end to a
series of psychologicaltests, inorder
to group the students for classroom
work. ‘ Classés in the summer school
are held in the morning and evening,
leaving the afternoons: free for study,
rest or recreation... There is an as-

Students are often, the.speake-=.-“c200k
tea is served every day: on Wyndham
porch, and on Wednestay ‘and’ Satur-
day afternoons every one is free for
trips, picnics, basebalt games or other
activities. An interesting series of ex-
cursions. is: usually arranged to” Phila-
delphia factories, to the steel mills, the
museums and to-Valley Forge. Last
year a trip through a‘coal mine was
included in the program.
«As recommended by students and
faculty last “summer, the’ same plan
of dividing the schgol into smalf units
with correlated courses in eagh unit
will be tried again this. year. This
means that. the school is broken up
into six groups, fourteen to ‘eighteen
students in each group, on the basis
of the psychological tests. Facility in
reading is one basis for division; in-
dustrial experience and , educational
‘background are also taken into con-
sideration. In every unit there are
three: instructors, one in Economics,
one in English and: the third either in
Science, History or psychology. Many
interesting ‘connecting links are dis-
covered by faculty and students among
the three courses given in each~ unit,
and the students begin to get a sense
of relationship in the subjects taught.
As one. student. said. last. summer,
“What I am Studying is all one. I
In
addition to the classroom work there
will be informal discussion groups and
school forums on industrial questions
and on other problems, such as legis-
lation, and the use of leisure” .time,
which are of interest to workers in
their own home commiunities.
Pembroke Hall will be used for -stu-
dents and women of the faculty this
year, Wyndham for offices and for the
men of the faculty. In addition, Tay-
lor Hall, the Library and the Gym-
Seats Se ana eae
a = ~ _ ee es
nasium are used by the school. Two
Tooia.. TCR are used for the Séi-
ence laboratory. These rooms are
always centres. of interest for . the
whole school, with their specimens of
leaves and flowers and the usuatcol-
lection of turtles, cocoons, gythea Pigs,
frogs and other livestock”. The tele-
scope is set up on Denbigh green every
clear night, and there is always a long
line of star gazers, ¢
The Summer School students take
the greatest pride in the rooms turned
over. to them by the undergraduates
and treasure every picture or scrap of
curtain that is left to make the rooms
attractive. Last sumgner at the end
of the term one student came into the
office to ask whether she might make
a new set of curtains for “her winter
student,” as she thought that the sun
had faded the ones left in the room.
“I'd like. to leave the room as nice for
her as she\left it for me,” she added.
This: feeling of appreciation for the

Six undergraduates from the wom-
en’s colleges have been appointed to
‘the school for the summer as recrea-
tion assistants. Dorothea Cross and
Hilda Thomas will represent Bryn
Mawr, and Vassar, Smith, Wellesley
and Holyoke will. also be represented.
It is hard to imagine how the school
could be run without these “odd job
men,” who assist in the laboratory and
the library, teach swimming and. ten-
nis, organize dramatics and take part
in the work’ of almost every adiminis-
trative department. Ir‘addition, these
undergraduate assistants. are asked to
enroll in one class with the industrial
workers, in order to gain some knowl-
edge of the teaching method, and are

{ it.is not important to inspire them’ to

‘imot get it as individuals or with an
| “everybody for himself” philosophy.
‘ Workers must. learn that if one is
“hurt, ‘all’ are hurt.
“Some students do get that under-
standing out of their experience and
decide to~ally~ themselves with work-
ers’ movements and remain in indus-
try. But few stick it out; the adjust-
ment is too difficult. It often means
the cutting off of all family and
‘ social contacts. I do not discourage
students who want to.ally themselves
‘ with the workers’ cause, but I do. not
encourage it. Instead I advise them
to go back to their professional and
inellectual fields and .do the job from
there. I wonder how much you stu-
dents realize the power that you have
over our workers’ minds—what. dam-
age, what misleading and déadening
work has been done by your group.
If you are really interested in helping
* the working class, why don’t you be-
come teachers; and instead of glorify-
ing kings, war-lords and wars, empha-
size the part that workers play in
developing civilization; tell of their
heroes and martyrs. in bettering work-
ing conditions? When teaching eco-
nomics, do not glorify the wonderful
‘opportunity our country offers for
“giakifig profits; iisteaq; tell how our
_=economic system-can be run: for serv-
ice. Become social workers, but do
not be satisfied by just patching up
cases. Question and trace back rea-
sens. _Become lawyers and see that
workers get a square deal in Courts,
especially when involved in the in-
dustrial struggle. Become. journalists,
but not the kind that live off scandal
and murder. Give the workers a line
when they are invalved in strikes. Be
politicians and- help them to “Clean
Up.” Be industrial engineers and give
human beings at least as much con-
sideration as machines and production.
Be ministers, but not the kind that
tell workers that if they are denied
things on this earth they are made up
in heaven. That kind of talk has a
terribly deadening effect on workers’
minds. Be Young Women’s Christian
Associatiomy secretaries, not the kind
that is interested only in teaching girls
how to play, and not the kind who,
when they realize the struggle and
need of the workers, find the Indus-
trial Department too small-and limited
and go out into other fields and very
often are lost to the cause.
It is not going to be easy, this job
of helping the working class from your
own fields ./ You are going to have
plenty of opportunity. to experience the
glorious feeling of martyrdom and
suffering that always comes* to those
“who stand-for_progressive ideas. You
will find that. you will get ‘the same}-

lose our jobs and go into strikes and

What happens to my. industrial sister {
when she gets taste of the intel-
lectual world? Kst, a dizzy pain in
the head. If she gets ‘ker taste at Bryn
Mawr, Madison, Barnar
e Southern
Summer School or . Brookwood, the
dizziness is. soon .relieved with the
help. of teachers and tutors who un-
derstand the purpose of “Workers’
Education.” The second thing that
happens is that the world begins to
stretch out. You begin to see and
hear things that have always “een
there, but to which you have been
deaf, ‘dumb and blind. .
* I want to give ,you my personal
reaction to the Bryn Mawr Summer
School. The study. of economics
taught me that my employer~was ‘not
the.-only——one™’ responsible for the
struggle of workers. In fact, he, too,
was a victim of forces, suchgas inven-
tions, discoveries, climatic changes,
wars and new theories, all of which
have, resulted in separating our in-
terests.. Some understandifg of the
history of civilization gave me a feel-
ing of importance as a factory worker.
The stidy of English made speakers
and writers out of us overnight. A
taste of-literature seems to flavor life
and make a library look larger.. We
see books that have always been on
the bookshelves but have meant noth-
ing to us. The study of science opens
our eyes to the skies and trees. A
} theoretical understanding of the trade-
in it, even when our fellow-workers
and leaders'seem to fail-us, The big-
gest thing that the industrial girl gets
out of a workers’ school is the contact
with the other working girls. She
learns that though workers may be
different-—in- -religion,;~nationality or
color they have one common probfem
as workers; that though there are
many theories, philosophies and tactics
the ultimate goal is the same.
I hope that the- student-industrial
movement will keep on growing. Go
back and encourage sudents to go into
industry. Encourage industrial girls
to go to school. You will find that
any activity you will engage in to help
solve our industrial problems will en-
trich your’ own life more han any
other activity can possibly do.
Charming Play Presented
On Saturday evening, June 1, the
Thorne’ School presented the play,
“Loveliness. Inexhaustible,” to
Alumnae. ‘i IR.
The play. was adapted from an old
-Russiaxfolk-stery and--gives~the~ad-
ventures. of three -brothers-on-:a--quest
for the water of eternal youth, which

The eldest is greedy, selfish and self-
important; the middle one is foolish
and childish; but the younger one is
all that the hero of an adventure story
should: be: delightfully , youthful and
honest. He’is, of course, the one who
is able to perform all the difficult tasks
of the old witch, Baba-Yaga, who
finally gives him -the various keys ;for
obtaining the precious water.
The costuming of the play, combined
with the soft lighting effects, made the
whole performance very charming in
color. Baba-Yaga, played by Miss
Gertrude Leighton, was the most
finished part, although-Ivan. was truly
a charming fairy story hero.

ings. The eight weeks’ experience be-
comes in part a training’ course in
workers’ .. education, and. informal
weekly meetings are held with this
group to discuss and analyze the daily
problems of the school. A number of
former utidergraduate assistants are
now taking an active part in the work-
.ers’ education movement, teaching eve-
ning classes, helping find and select
students through the local committees
or studying in the fields. of industrial
research and labor problems.
Started in 1921 by President Thomas
at Bryn Mawr, the experiment of
using empty ‘college buildings for
workers’ schools has expanded into a
nation-wide movement. Three. other
schools’ modeled...somewhat on the
Bryn. Mawr plan have been estab-
lished, one at the sloth of ‘Wis-
consin, “where about women
workers and a few men are. enrolled
each year; one in the South, using
college buildings near Asheville, North
Carolina, and drawing a. group of
twenty-five: women from Southern in-
dustries; one. at Barnard College in
New York City, where. fifty women
workers, mostly from the garment and
«millinery trades, come fora. full day-
time course, going home -every night.
Three of these schools—Barnard, Wis-
consin and Bryn Mawr—are now affili-
ated,. sending repgesentatives to a cen-
tral: committee, and in every district
the four Summer Schools are working
closely together to find and’ prepare
students and to raise the scholarship
fund. :
Sometimes it. is easier to become
interésted in évents with the glamor
of distance than td realize the signifi-
cance of things happening‘ at home.

Finally, however, they decided that they
could with no danger ask the Rover boys

loving Rover, who was rooming with his,
two. brother's at college and was captain

The great day dawned—mercifully
without rain, for the Campfire Girls had
their new ruffled organdies and did not
want them spotted. When the boys: ap-
proached, the girls peeked from the cur-
tains of their dormitory windows (say-
ness), and blushing becomingly, they.
“How-do-
said Tom politely (the spokes-
man of the group),. “it was very. ‘nice
of you to ask us to your college fora
dance-—it is a privilege to which’ we
have long looked forward and we hope
that you will come to our -Promenade
with us.” With soft- “ohs” .and “ahs”
of delight the dear girls said that they
would love to go if their mother and
two aunts would chaperone them. “Of
course, that is:a very small number,
said one, “but I think we would not be
misusing the proprieties—however, let us
on with the dance and let joy be uncon-

Prohibition
Prohibition, a law against drinking,
is a much-talked-about subject.today. It
is used as a foundation for sermons, and
is also the seed from which many jokes
have grown. Late hours and drinking
have increased tremendously since the
Volstead Act came into existence. The
country has become so saturated with
the “party fever” and the numerous other
pleasures (?) indulged in today that it
is beginning to believe that this ycondi-
tion. may possibly be all right and that
the “youth’ of “today” is ‘all right.
The so-called “youth of today” drinks
for two reasons, each so weak that they
should shame those so convicted.
(1) The momentary thrill that one
receives from the participation in any
illegal practice. The knowledge that one
is beating their country, and laughing at
it, in a game in which victory for the
people is their loss,, ©
(2) The lortiging for gayety. A sub-
stitute for the wit and mirth that so few
possess, but all desire. A quick stimu-
fant, helpirig to produce the thrill of in-
decency.
‘On ithis basis Prohibition becomes a
moral issue. It shows the need of in-
jécting the desire to do right, rather than
attempting to use force in stopping that
whichis not™ right... -As—long--as—our
public officials resort to physical methods
in an. effort to curtail drinking, just so
long wil drinking continue. As soon as
the mental side is brought from its “dust-
covered hiding place” and the country is
educated into seeing the evils of drink-
ing, then we can look for the right kind
” | of happiness, the right kind of pleasure,
and find it—Drexel Triangle.

- Bicycling:
The student who- is anxious to study
‘the life of a people at close range and

tries at a small. expense will find. the
bicycle a great advantage. One can
secure good vehicles in Europe for from
$10 to $25. . Scotland and England can
be toured in three or four weeks,.and it
is advisable to. land at Glasgow and
- travel south to London and Southampton.
The channel trip can he negotiated from
this’ point, and a second m6nth can be
spent touring France... Long distances in‘
France can be covered by rail at slight
expense, and the bicycle will be trans-

Owe of the most fascinating, ways to
explore the Austrian and Bavarian Alps
is in company with a student hiking tour.
There is no bettér way of contacting
German: and Austrian students naturally
than by spending a week with such a
tour. A week’s hiking in the Alps will
serve to break up the. monotony of sight-
seeing in the cities, and offers a helpful
introduction to the German-speaking
‘countries. Interested students may

that the jealous person is always the one

lack of spirit that, when properly exerted

jealousy.
-Thé successful person is helped to an
even. higher plane, due to the unjust
criticism made by those desiring to see
his downfall. It is an established fact
that- the man that sets the pace and

tend with the resistance of those envious.
of his’ progress.
An average person, as judged from his
or her accomplishments, is characterized
by their lack of imitators, but when
slander and jealousy start, then it is
known that an enviable fame has just
preceded it.
These attacks are merely signs of suc-
cess, and while the one is conquered
through his own greed, the other goes.

cess. That which is good and great can
