education. The best argument for educa-
tion she said, which she she.could think
of was the life of Carola Woerishoffer,
a Bryn Mawr graduate of the class of
1907.

Carola Woerishoffer, Miss Park went
on to say, was the third generation of a
line of remarkable women. Her grand-
mother came. to this country from Aus-
tria_and, with her husband, settled-in New
York. When shortly after he had start-
ed a paper for the German-speaking
people of that city, her husband died,
Miss Woerishoffer’s grandmother took
over the work and carried it on to suc-
cess, although she was for a time on the.
brink of ruin. Her daughter was a
woman of her own kind, who believed
in advantages for women and threw her-
self into every good work. She had a
great deal of money and used it wisely
to do good. She had two daughters, one

M.COPEAU RECITES
LE MISANTHROPE

Sympathetic Rendering Aided by Ex-
cellent Technique. _

To listen to M. Copeau read, or rather
recite (for he knew the play practically
from memory) Le Misanthrope last Fri-
day evening was indeed a thrilling ex-
perience.



For those who had never attended a
performance at the Comedie Francaise it
was an introduction into conventional
French acting. For those who had seen
that great company, whose importance
the French Government materially recog-
nizes—even-in-times~as~ critical as these,
Friday evening resembled a trip back
stage. There was no scenery, no light-
ing and no costumes to distract the at-
tention from the purely dramatic qualities
of the interpretation. _

In the light of M. Copeau’s role as
innovator in the dramatic world, it may
seem inconsistent to liken his method to
that of the Comedie Francaise; but,
whether due to ignorance or lao of per-
spicacity, the writer observed no innova-
tions in the art M. Copeau demonstrated

DR. DUGGAN — SPEAKS

(Specially Contributed by Betty Brown)
The second meeting of the National
Student Federation Conference, held at
Ann Arbor, Mich., the first week-end in
December, was a great success. There
were two.hundred and forty-five dele-
gates, representing one hundred and
ninety-two colleges, and, as speakers, Dr.
Stephen P. Duggan, Director of the In-
stitute of International Education; Dr.
Alexander Meikeljohn; President Mac-
Cracken, of Vassar; and President Lit-
tle, of the University of Michigan. An
excellent opening address was given by
Lewis Fox, organizer and president of
the Federation during the past year.
Comparison of Methods.
Dr. Duggan, who is particularly fitted
to do so, compared education in Amer-
ica with that of Europe. In a limited
time he cou!d discuss two aspects of
such a comparison. The first was, “The
spirit which animates the European in-
stitutions as against that which animates
ours.” __The European institutions, he
explained, are places of hard work, pre-
scribed curriculum, and no extra-curricu-
lar activities. “The Lycee and Gymna-
sium are. emphatically places of intel-
lectual discipline; of preparation for the
serious activities of life. It is needless
for me to say how different this is from
the American college. I am not saying
that it is better than the American col-
lege. I think “it is too intellectualized
and neglects much of the emotional and
spiritual aspects of life. But it does give

lege.

Workers’ education, in England prac-
tically well established, here non-existent
except on paper, was taken by Mr. Lind-
Say as an example of what he meant. In
England, a university graduate goes to
a mining or pottery making district and
gives the benefit of the history, the phil-
osophy he has learned to the workers.
Here, where at least thirty per cent. of
the children go on from public school
into some higher form of education, the
attempt is made to give the workers the
same opportunity as in an ordinary col-
Our economic eyes are different.

“The reason for the English labor
movement, Mr. Lindsay went on,*“is that
we are still living in a feudal system
without the benefits of feudalism. Our
basic industries are depressed: because of
exterior conditions, such as the substitu-
tion of oil and water power for coal,
while the mining industry is still organ-
ized on an antiquated basis. England
was thrown on her beam ends by the

ing him, Jesus was anticipating our

One'of the most useful functions a
woman not in professional work can
fulfil is that of becoming a member of
boards of management of charities. There
is an increasing tendency to utilize col-

At Least, the Committee Thought He
Did.

The Summer School Committee was
no less surprised than pleased to receive
last Monday a consignment of auto-
graphed books from Princeton. They
were copies of A Book of Lamplight, by
Knullen Voyde, and nearly ‘all of them
were snapped up instantly; aby. enthusiastic
buyers, to the immense profit of the
undergraduate fund, -afidthe-Comntittee,
which saw the necessity of making sand-
wiches to fill the deficit no longer immi-
nent. Mr. Voyde’s book is ‘unquestion-
ably the literary event of the season at
Bryn Mawr; at one time in one room no
less than seven people were observed
reading it, mostly out loud. It’s that kind
of a book.

one of the -seven scheduled courses,
covering all branches of practical design,
fine arts and art teacher training. It is
our hope that the opportunities offered
by the artistic profession. may thus be
brought to thé attention of young women
whose mental training has fitted them to
take full advantage of the instruction. °

eighty-second year of continued profes-

ularly, but she gets to dislike going to
class. Is it the teacher’s function to force
upon his students what he believes to be
the proper method of acquiring knowl-
edge, and then to judge of their intellec-
tual powers by the result? ;

Furthermore, if a student is not able to
study unless she is forced into, it by a
drop quiz system, is she really a student
worthy of a college education?

Those who uphold the opposite view
may raise the question whether these last
arguments would not logically apply to
the use of~any examinations whatever,
and of any grading, in college courses.
Also, the ‘fear element in drop quizzes
not only induces lack of concentration but
arouses an antagonism which is made
