Service. ce
“The Charity ae nhaticl ‘Society of
New Yorke felt the need of a new interest
"in, social work,” said M.. Saurtders,
Speaking in chapel: on Wedneiday, De-
cember 6. :
“Therefore, the idea of Junior’ Month
was: conceived: a member of the Junior
class. of several inearby. colleges shoyld}
be given the chance to observe the con-
* ditions in New York. We aii, gathered
at the University Club on July 3, and in
a few. days were all'very good friends. «
“The first day Miss Touseley took . us
down to.the C, O. S. offices, telling. us
thaf ve were there not“for training but
for observation.”In-the following ‘month’
we ‘spent two and. a thalf days a week
hearing lectutes and, three days in the
district office. We were given some
minor duties such as taking patients’ to
clinics. We. were taken to. see many in-
stitutions. such’ as the reformatory, the].
insane asylum, and the children’s hos-
pital.
' “As a special problem, I. was given
charge of a little girl named Gracie. She
was just out of a convent 4nd seemed
unable to keep any kind of a job. It
seemed to be part of my job to: go to
the places where Gracie had- unsitccess-
fully held a job and attempt to find out
from the typical “accented” New York
employer just why.she had proved al.
failure. This is only one of, the many
» interesting experiences which one may
have in connection with the work. °..
“Various outings and amusements were
planned for us during the course of the
time spent there. At the end a big picnic
crowned a month full of: the greatest
imaginable amount of real interest.”

dregs of society die. Why try to keep |
them afive?” The difficulty with this is
that chance in the form of accidents in
the street, or society in the form of sea-
sonal occupations may force into a tight
place a person .who would otherwise
shrink from the idea of accepting charity.
It is not necessarily the “dregs” of so-
ciety who accept charity, and if help is
withheld from those who need it they
will not eliminate themselves, but will
continue to grow unfit and anti-social,
thus playing a big part in lowering the
level of society. For me the greatest
experience from “Junior Month” was
the conviction that..from certain indi-
viduals who have the same interests, de-
sires and potentialities that I have, so-
ciety. makés great demands-without pro-
viding. sufficient margins. against | such
calamities as may come to anyone at any
time. So. social work looked at not with
the emotions, but with.the intellect, be-
comes not charity but justice.

‘as it looks,” said Mr. Russell.
believe there is more in knowledge
than behavorism.” There .must be
ething of which -you are. conscious
in your head, while the consciousness,
is in your head, ‘with a certain
relation between these two events.
Thinking Is Only Talk.
The second part of the theory,
that “the, essence of mind is to think,”
is also disputed by Watson. He says
tliat there isn’t any mind, that it is all
talk. Thinking consists of talking>to
yourself or to others, “you think with.
_ your larynx” as can be proved by try-
ing to think of a bubble: with your
mouth open. The emotions, too, are
only “visceral behavior.”
Another theory, the Psyctiology of
Configuration has been worked out by
two Germans, who maintain: that the
_ essential thing is the perception’ of a
~ pattern. You learn things by perceiv--
. ing patterns; Théy have made tests}
with animals to prove this. An inter-
esting thing about testing animals,|
said Mr. Russell, is that “they always:

possibly. come by the: trial’ and ‘error
method. This test supports the pat
bh
tern theory, “you apprehend a’ whole, |
of which a part is given.” :
It is no longer possible to reduce:
mental operations to ngatter i in Motion,
~when the Physicists: ‘hve proved that:
there is no such thing. But if mat-
ter, is no longer sd material, so. too,
thind is no longer so mental. These
two, once differentiatéd substances,
can be put together. The easiest Way
to do this is to imagine events instead.
of either; “events are the crude’ stuff’
out of which the world is made..“The
actual stuff perceived is neither ‘mind
nor matter, but a neutral stuff. out of
whieh both are made. Every event is
connected with two places—where it
is, and where the observer is. The
first, matter, is the place from which
‘the “light rays emanate; the other,
mind, is the place to which they travel.

“The ‘Christian religion is betting one’:
life that there is a God. There is'a grea
risk involved. God cannot be demon-
strated as the component parts of a rock.
Nor can the Truth be reached by de-
manding this explanation. God can no

Lord Calvin
once said to his class at the University
of Glasgow : ‘There came a point in my.
scientific discoveries when I had to Ye tat
a leap in the dark.’ :
To: commit our lives to Christ is t
tale a leap in the dark. The a
however, is light and life.. Faith.in Jes
Christ has been proved: by the ages ‘and
not found wanting. . In our present-day
attitude toward religion we may rightly
be compared to a drowning wretch who
foolishly quarrels with his life belt. Our
business is to stop quarreling with the
life belt: and put it on without demanding
explanations.” /, ¢

“Ina perusal of the situation last sum-
mer, President Coolidge was inclined to
take the administration of the- islands out
ofthe hands 6f. the War: Departmerit
and appoint a Governor who would stress
the idea of civil government rather than
military discipline.
“Personally,” said .Mrs. Manning, “I
am not in favor of Philippino self-gov-
ernment. It is problematical whether or
not the natives would support their own
officials if they had them. A trojical life
always makes a democratic government
more difficult, because the people are
naturally lazy and indifferent: Further-
more, the people of the a are
very disunited. ¥
“If we wish to alow” “the Phtinesinees

well; Tf we would civilize them ana
develop their possibilities we canpot give
them up. In either case we have an-
them their independence, and if we have
