~The fact that the judges gavé the |
decision of the debate to the neg: Aver
tive doesn’t really: prove very much
ohe way or another, nor do we feel
that many people have been con-
-vineed, but the debate has provided
itself with a far yreater “raison!
d’etre.” From_ this _unprétentious |
_ beginning there has sprung the ful-|
fillment of a long-felt need in the’
college. At last a real debating
club is being formed!
For years, the. Speakers’ Coniniii-
tee has received challenges to,debate
with other colleges, and for years’
these invitations -haye passed un-
heeded; but now all that'is past. The
embryonic
proceed without support and we
feel it to be one of the college insti-
tutions -most..worthy of support.
Even if one does not plan to take
an active part in the. debates she
can gain ever so much from going
to them, for a subject is always dis-
cussed thoroughly and from ail
sides ; that is the very essence of a
debate.
Let us hope that the subjects will |
all be interesting ons gnd that the
new club will live to prosper and_in

Congai, 4 play by Harry Hervey and |
. Carleton Hildreth, with Helen - Menken,
Congai, now: playing at the Adelphi
"heater, is a.very effective dramatiza-
tion of the clash of East and West,
arising ‘from the subjection, of yellow
races by European nations. The scene
is laid in the French Colony. of Indo-,
China, -which gives a magnificent oppor-
tunity for staging to a man who has al-
ready shown his talent in the production
of Marco Millions and Porgy. All. the
color of the bazaaf, the mystery of the
jungle, the fascination. of weird chants
and strange instruments is introduced to
the advantage'of the play as a whole.
he acting is vivid; and the plot, which
rags the gamut of emotions from mother
love ‘to murder, is exciting. Without
Helen Menken and .her able supporters,
George. Baxter, Ara Gerald and Felix
Keeee, without the oriental music and
the effective lighting, it may be that the
thought behind the plot would not suffice.
As presented, it is impressive.
‘The aetion arises logically and dra-
matically from its original premise. This
premise .is, that a Congai, the native
mistress of a long succession of French
officers, can retain to. the end of her
career an untarnished moral code, and an
essential purity of spirit. There are ex-
tenuating: circumstances, but that. isthe
core of the matter. -If you accept that,
you accept the whole, and the play is a
success. It seems to us that with Helen
Mehken as the Congai, you do accept
it; at least while you are in your seat.
Only afterwards: the doubts creep in.
. Where would the daughter of an unprin-
cipled old woman and a gay French |.
cfficer get such standards? But until the
curtain falls, such heresies. do not sug-
gest themselves. With bitter emphasis,
the native nobility of the yellow woman |
contrasted -with the white-skinned
champions of a falsé civilization. They
- come, they love and they sail away, leav-
‘ing behind them ruined girls and half- |-
bréed’ children, predestined to tragedy,
cast out by their own race and despised:
by. their fathers. - The scene in which the
cowardly officer, who has_ hae “himself
transferred to avoid being sent to war,
watches thé “niggers” go off to France
to fight the white man’s: battle is mag-
nificent melodrama. For staging, for
acting, for dramatic clifhax, we could

GIVE WHAT YOU CAN!
This year .the League must have ap-
proximately $3000 to cafry on its work.
The budget is as ‘follows:

faids (Christmas party, etc.)...... 50 |
Running Expenses oo... corer POreoRaerer 2
ro : ueaee
Total . Sa ere $3000
This amount is not.much larger than
that of other years, for we have cut out
inotiey gifts.to Dr. Grenfell, Dr. James. |
the Student Friendship Fund, etc., and we |
have taken over Summer School, which
used to have a separate undergraduate
committee.
. The real difference a ais year’s
finances and fast year is the way in
which we hopé to raise them. In former.
yeats there have been first, membership
dues; second, pledge cards, and after
those any number of drives for Bates
_House, for Sammer School, for anyth
under the sun. Naturally, people ce
_had pledged something to Bates, for in-
stance, in the beginning of the year ob-
jected to being accosted again during the
Bates drive, but as the pledges were ‘in-
sufficient, thé drive was unavoidable.
This year we are hoping to bring about
‘wo changes, and whether they shall be
permanent or not depends on the reaction
of the ‘undergraduates. ~
In the first place, there are no mem-
bership dues—membership now means
interest, not willingness to part with $2.
In the second place we are trying to do
‘as people seem to, want us to do, in hav-
ing one drive 4nd one only. This means
that every one will have to give as gen-
erously as she can all at once, instead of |.
giving perhaps $5 in pledges, another $5 |
in the Bates drive and a grudging $1 to
Summer School:
we have a two-plan plédge card:
you can give $1,
day, or you can give however
wall on a stated pay day.
‘We cannot promise that there will not
be other drives this year, because, in the
cases of Bates House and Summer
School at least, we haave to raise defi-
nte amounts, We can and do- promise
that if the undergraduates do. the’r part
in giving now, we will not ask them to
give again this year.

Bates House
Children” Are Interesting Prob-—
lems and Easy to Work
With.
by MM:
(Contributed Grace,’ Head
Vorker, 1928.)
In case there ‘¢ should be anyone ‘read-
| ing this to whom Bates House means
nothing—or worse, to whom it means
the -wrong-thing—let me-give a short
account of it.: It is a house, in Long
Branch, New Jersey,
York and Philadelphia slum children
are sent for two weeks of fresh air,
sleep, ocean and other more intensive
bathing, and milk. We at Bryn Mawr
raise the money to do this and go
down to take caré of the” children.
That is a brief account of something
that means a good deal,.one way or
anofher, to everyone who ‘goes down
there, whether child or student.
; Although two weeks is a very short
| time in which to effect any real change
and proper food. »The children get up
about. seven-thirty, have breakfast,
sing kindergarten songs,
their bathing suits.
is a rest hour during which some of
just rest, usually in spite of themselves.
Then there is more bathing, supper,
songs, and bed. The teachers,
‘that is the Bryn Mawr girls, spend
j the rest of the evening writing letters,
or investigating
the thrills offered by the amusement
pier.
Recetitly I visited some of the chil-
‘dren in New York and talked. with
their mothers. They say that they
cannot get the children to go to bed
early because of the noise and the fun:
in the streets. ‘Thev also say that sg
children do not eat well at home be-
cause what appetite they do work up,
is spoiled by the candy they manage
ito get hold of between meals.
