Education Department Wants
to Test Large Number
to Prove Theory.
PRIZES AND .RESULTS.
(Specially contributed by (Dr. Agnes
Rogers).
One of the crucial issues today in
the field of higher education concerns the
limit of intelligence development. Does
the mind cease to mature at sixteen, as
the Stanford-Revision of the Benet-
Simon scale, the most widely used in-
dividual test of intelligence in the United
States, implies? Or does mental growth
go on to the age of tg Aa or even into
the thirties ?
. Bryn Mawr College has the privilege
of showing what the truth about mental
development between 18, 19, 20 and 21 is
for a selected group of college women.
Professor Thorndike, of Columbia Uni-
versity, has given the material for the
study. It represents in money a gift of.
$300, in actual market value. But this
value is far outweighed by the scientific
value, for the examinations represent the
product of research covel ing a period of:
twenty-five years.
Students to Be Told Results.
To take the test means three and a
half hours of strenuous mental effort,
but the knowledge attained about oneself
cannot be bought at any price from any
person. The opinions of individuals,
however estimable are subjective, influ-
enced by superficialities such as personal
appearance, manners and accidental en-
counters, pleasing or painful. The great
value of the Thorndike Examination is
that it measures what it measures in a
reliable fashion and independently of the
judgment of the examiner. To discover
the truth about one’s own powers, evefi
for such a limited selection of them as
the Thorndike Examination provides, is
to increase one’s mastery over destiny it-
self,
The results of the application of the
test will be published. ‘The amount of
evelopment for- this efoup of college
of the amount of improvement in the
1927 score over the earlier score, allow-
such as practice in taking the test. Each
student’s own score and improvement in
score will be communicated to her alone
and interpreted in a personal interview.
Only sophomores, juniors and seniors
are to be tested.

MONET EXCELLED

With Cezanne and Picasso He
Started School of Im-
pressionism .
LIVED FOR AN IDEAL
‘> ;
-On ‘Thursday evening, November 10,
a lecture on Claude Monet was given by
M. Desclos. M. Desclos, who is the
assistant director of the “Office Nation-
ale des Universites,” spoke in Taylor
Hall; his lecture was fully illustrated by
lantern slides. .
There are examples of Monet’s work
in both Chicago and Boston. It is im-
possible, however, ‘to understand his con-
Monet Museum in Paris. In this build-
ing are contained the series of Monet’s
last work. It represents the fifth period
of his artistic development, and it is
particularly significant in his compre-
hension of light reflected in water.
These pictures have been well placed in
the museum by M. Lefevre, who is him-
‘}self an artist.
Early Art Was Religious.
M. Desclos gave an historical back-
ground to his lecture by emphasizing the
development of art before the time of
Monet, by enlarging upon the artistic
influences which helped to form Monet,
and, finally, by analyzing the five periods
of Monet’s own work. Early art was
almost all religious; aesceticism was its
chief interest. During the Renaissance
life itself became broader in scope, and
art expanded accordingly; it was no
longer so strict in choice of subject
matter. During this time there was an
intérest in movement and color, as well
as numerous experiments in landscape
painting. During the seventeenth cen-
to a preconceived idea; form is made to
harmonize with subject matter, and it is
a period of idealization, a curious mix
ture of realism and convention. Later,
in Holland, comes the revolt against dog-
matic art. .The wealthy bourgeois did
not care for religious paintings, and, like
Sam Weller, they disliked figures of
“Wenus and like nonsense.” “La realite
modeste,” pictures of familiar things be-
came most popular. This is the most
banal of reality. “Pas de dieux, ni de
heros, rien que le sentiment de la na-
ture.”
Between 1830 and 1860 flourished the
School of Barbizon in France. It
showed the direct influence of such Eng-
lish painters as Constable, and among
its numbers may be included such names
as Rousseau, D’Aubigny, Carot, Mauet,
Millet, and Courbet. They were inter-

FINAL SCORE WAS 8 TO |
In spite of thé gathering twilight,
Varsity fought its way. to victory over
Swarthmore on Friday with.a score of
8-1,.cheered on by enthusiastic supporters.
The Bryn Mawr team made a better
showing than usual, probably due to the
fact that Swarthmore was slower: than the
veteran club teams we have met. this sea-
son. For this reason the Varsity forward
line was more successful in using dodges
and in breaking through the Swarthmore
defense. The Bryn Mawr backfield was
and followed up. her shots with vigor,
while Hirschberg and Balch would have
been more effective if they had not inter-
fered with one another.
Though deprived of some of their best
players by Varsity’s devastating stick-
work, Swarthmore put up a good fight
until the end. -Rushing a goal in the
second half, they avoided the ignominy
of a scoreless defeat.
The line-up was:
Swarthmore—Vaughan, Hinlock, Har-
per, Walton*, Richards, Tily, Jackson,
Cleaver, Kennedy, Calwell, Seaman.

Lake Speaks on _ Discoveries.
Phoenicians Antedated
Now.
The speaker in chapel on Tuesday
morning, November 8, was the Rev.
Kirsopp Lake, Professor of Ecclesiastical
History at Harvard University, who
spoke most interestingly on his. experi-
ences at Mount Sinai.
“When we reached Cairo,” Dr. Lake
began, “a friend asked us if we would
stop at the monastery, ‘on our way back
from Sinai, and pick up the fragmentary
inscriptions which were left there in
1906. We agreed only after long con-
sideration, for Sinai is a triangle of
wilderness.. There is little water in the
vicinity and few easy paths to the monas-
tery.
Moses Writes to Pharaoh’s Daughter.
“The journey proved to be very diffi-
cult. It took eleven days by camel, at the
end of which we felt we knew all about
camel riding. The last human being
there had come in 1906 and had copied
the inscriptions in the temple there. Some
he found so badly written that copying
was impossible, so these were left. . The
Egyptian words he was able to interpret,
but the otHers he could only guess were
Semitic. Later a German translated these
discoveries and found, curiously enough,
that they were a correspondence between
Moses and one of Pharaoh’s daughters.
These translations known as the Moses
Inscription, as might be expected, were
great news for the Berlin newspapers. It
was the fragments of these, which were
left in 1906, that we were asked to bring
back.
“We found them -easily enough and
at once began to make them ready for
transportation. Most of them needed
trimming ‘before they could be placed on
the camels. Photographs were taken of
each one Before it was packed. All this
proved a ‘very pleasant occupation in a
temperature of 115 degrees F.
“As neither of us knew the Semitic
ot | language, we took the inscriptions to
“this | Jerusalem where an interpreter of early
res | Semitic worked on the photographs and

Freshman Officers -
Thompson, Baer and Caparn
fie Chosen After Lengthy
Debate. °
¥ ‘
After a long sttuggle, 1931,was at last
able to make up its mind on the subject
of Class officers. Emulating their elders,
they spent several days about it; two
whole meetings, indeed, were necessary
before they could decide on their- Presi-
dent! Caroline Thompson was elected,
and considering her school record, one
wonders why they took so long over it.
Miss Thompson is a graduate of Miss
dent of Student Government, an Associa-
tion with which she was connected for
several years. She was also prominent in
athletics, playing on the hockey and
basketball teams. :
The two other officers were elected
with less difficulty at a meeting held Mon-
day, November 14. They are Elizabeth
Baer, Vice President, and Rhys Caparn,
Secretary.
‘Miss Baer comes from the Bryn Mawr
School; and was President of the Senior
Class there.
Miss Caparn was prominent at Brear-
ley, and entered college with a scholar-
ship. All the officers have had turns in
running the class; they were /all_on the
Freshman Committee for the first weeks
of college.
Women Require Training
to Compete in Politics
Mrs. Carroll Miller, of Pittsburgh,
spoke in Chapel on Monday, November
14, on “Women in Politics.” Women
should consider politics, she said, not as
a vocation but as an avocation, and they
should be thoroughly trained for the field
‘before they attempt to enter it.
Mrs, Miller herself has been in politics
since 1920, when she spoke in the cam-
paign of that year. In her varied experi-
ence of seven years, what she noticed
chiefly was, that the women of the coun-
try, unlike the men, are not as a whole
interested in politics, But the chief rea-
son for their disrepute is that it is the
failures who are prominent: you hear of
“Ma” Ferguson, but not of one of
Wyoming’s best Governors, Nelly Ross;
of Mrs. Knapp’s mismanagement in New
York, but not of the many other women
who have successfully controlled | large
sums of money.
“Women are always in a hurry to
achieve their ends,” said Mrs. Miller.
“They try to take a short cut. That is
why they are so much in favor of cen-
tralization; instead of starting at the
bottom, they think they can get things
done by going straight to headquarters.
Although they did not have the yote at
the time of the Kighteenth Amendment,
they are.probably largely responsible for
the passing of a piece of legislation that
has been the cause of more graft than
Labor Amendment is. another plank on
which they insist, not realizing that cen-
tralization will eventually cause the
break-up of our type of government.
“Politics is an old game and the men
in it are clever, well-trained, sometimes
unscrupulous. Before women. can hope |d
to compete with them, it is‘necessary oan

MERION IS OUTPLAYED ’
Prospects for next week’s» game with
All-Philadelphia are not so gloomy as
they were two weeks ago since Varsity
defeated the Merion Cricket Club, on
Saturday morning, 4-0,
The outstanding feature of the game
was the splendid ‘work done by Hirsch-
berg in checking Anne Townsend. Time
and time again, that swift forward eluded _
her oppofent but lost the ball to Kate—
who always seethed to be where she was
needed.
The first half began with a series of
rushes up and down the field, then a long
run by Tuttle almost gave Varsity a goal,
That was Bryn
Mawr’s greatest weakness all morning—
no ability to push the ball in, though they
brought it to. the striking circle many
times.
The first goal was made shortly after
this by Guiterman. Varsity was now on
the offensive, where it remained for most
of the time: The ball was continuously at
Merion’s end of the -field where their
backs did good work, only to be outdone
by our forwards returning to the attack.
After the second goal by Longstreth, '
the game opened up somewhat with sey-
eral long runs down the field by both
sides. Bruere was given a chance to
make several good clears, but on the
whole she was not pressed hard.
Both teams were bothered by the heat
which was almost oppressive. This made
the playing of the second half a bit less
purposeful and more fouls and roll-ins
occurred. .
The second half began with an im-
mediate drive on the part of Varsity, re-
sulting after a short scuffle in a goal by
Wills. ' The final goal was made by
Guiterman,
There seemed to be a chance of Mer-
ion’s scoring when Atne Townsend made
a pretty shot on a penalty corner, but
it missed, by inches.
Qn the whole, Varsity seems to be
developing more team work. The in-
dividuals while playing a good game still,
seem to be more conscious of one an-
other. There is more co-operation.
Balch, who has been only a substitute,
did some good work, but Hamilton at
center-half, while she distributed the play
well, was slow in getting- on the ball, and
weak in hitting it.
The line-up was as follows:
Merion Cricket Club—Mrs. Smith, S.
Carson, Mrs. Madeira, K. Rolin, A. Page,
B. Holman, E. Foster,’ A. Townsend,
Daly, Byron.
Varsity—A. Bruere, ’28; K. Hirsch-
berg, 30; A. Brown, ’30; C. Hamilton,
grad.; B. Freeman, ’29; H. Tuttle, ’28;
H. Guiterman**, ’28; R. Wills*, ’29; S.

We became aware of their pres-
ence by that well-known scratch-]
img in the dead of night,- timid at
first, but increasing in volume as
more food accumulates in the
scrap-basket. Finally, secure in
their freedom from attack, the mice
venture forth in the day-time, so
that it is not at all unusual for the
innocent student to find one sit-
timg passively on her bureau nib-
bling at her toothbrush or inves- |
tigating her cold. cream.
In a shortage, of big game equip-
ment, we have heard of one cour-
ageous person who threw a scrap-
basket plus mouse out of the
window in frantic haste. (The
mouse fell out on -the-way:)|~
Another caught one of the vermin
in a cracker box, set on the floor
as a trap, and drowned it in a
sauce-pan.
From this experience we have
no doubt that many will go forth
from Bryn Mawr to bring terror

The,one nearest the wall was perhaps

But the one nearest the door had a great

She was much too upset to remember.

Sadly, she got up, faced with the

theme was that moreof the English poets
Ifave gone to Cambridge than to Oxford
and. he endeavored to explain why.
Miss Park, in,. introducing him, _re-
marked that Bryn Mawr has always been
fond of poetry and that we have a com-
mon student background with these poets.
Mr. Davison is himself a graduate of St.
John’s, Cambridge, which, he admitted
made him speak with considerable bias.
He explained that poets choosing their
college, chose, much as athletes here to-
day choose the college with the best foot-
ball record, the one with the best batting
average for poets.
By the middle of the 17th century,
Cambridge was well in the lead—a superi-
ority she has never relinquished. Most of
had gone to Cambridge. The roster
through the ages is very long. “Of the
great poets, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats,
Browning and Pope went to no college.
Raleigh, Peele, Donne, Milton, Vaughan,
Herrick, Crashaw, Prior, Wil-
Wordsworth,
Dryden,
liam Mason, Tennyson,
went @ Cambridge.
“In the Victorian days,
very well—Arnold, Morris, Swinburne
all went there. And earlier, there
was: Shelley. But these few names sink
into comparative insignificance beside our
brilliant list.” Others which Mr. Davison
Oxford did
Wyatt, Greene and.Gray. “No’other uni-
versity can show the equal in quality or
quantity. This is surely extraordinary—
coincidence fails to explain it.”
Reason Is Traditional Intoxication.
Mr. Davison’s explanation that the
tradition of poetry at Cambridge, which is
inextricably mixed with another tradition,

As an example of what he meant he
quoted Wordsworth, who came up a
“fresh young boy, filled with life, who
lived like any other undergraduate but
was driven by the spirit of Milton into
this double intoxication.” Mr. Davison

Mr. Davison told of his own under-

“Oxford is different,” he went on, “it
is harder, something that makes for
prose and politics. I must admit, how-
ever, that the poetry written about Ox-

Individual Responsibility Can-
not Be Shifted to -
Others.
“What part, exactly, da.we take in |.
working out the religion of the world?”
asked the Rev. William Pierson Merrill
in Chapel, on Sunday evening, Novem-
ber 13. :
“Are we able, by the ‘strength of our
souls, to master the giant mechanisms
which we have released? Or will they
eventually become the masters and wé
the slaves? ‘Bre need for some kind of
practical religion is great among the
modern conditions of life,
“Wher&, then, can re religion,to
fill our present day nee Most. people
feel that it is the problem of®the Church
and thereby feel their comtscienpes freed
from all responsibility. It is a Character-
istic of the age that people should strive
to shift the responsibility from their own
shoulders. Instead of gathering in
groups to ‘sing of an evening,’ we turn
ou the radio. In short, we are becoming
a people who are willing to‘ sit back and
_let professionals do for us the things we
have hitherto done ourselves.
“Religion and _ politics are two phases
of life which must be carried on by the
individual himself and cannot be shifted
to someone el:e. There have been sug-
gestions to the effect that the Rotary
Clubs of the country afe concocting ‘an
American religion for American people.’
We hope this is not authentic.
“One of the greatest problems of re-
ligion is the fact that the young people
of today feel they have no place in it.
The fact is, however, that every educated
man and woman has a sacred duty to-
ward religion. Every one should work
honestly with a sense of personal re- |.
sponsibility.
,“The greatest guide for us in assuming
this task is to realize that what we need
is not a new religion, but a clearing up of:
the age-old and age-tried Christianity, It
ig not even decent for a man to receive
an education, if he has not sometime be-
fore he graduates from college examined
the facts about Christ and come to some
definite conclusion concerning them.
True religion is what we need to con-
quer the massive forces of modern
civilization.
Biducational Clinic at
Thorne School Thrives
The. work of the Educational Clinic.
under the direction-of the Education De-
partment of Bryn Mawr College is being:
. developed and extended. It has been
sponsored this year by the: Parents’ As-
_sociation of the ‘Thorne: School and is
-held on the first floor of Cartref, one of
the school buildings. All the pupils of
the Thorne School receive the benefit of
individual examinations under the direc-
tion of this clinic, which also supervises
the survey of educational attainment by
group tests for the school. ‘There will
also be a general psychological service
extended to all schools which will in-
clude the giving-.of individual .examina-
tions for purposes of educational guid-
ance and placement. Analysis will be
made of the individual disabilities of
pupils who are having special difficulties
with school work.
For Binet-Simon mental examinations
the fee is $15. For gjagnosis of special
educational deficiencies and prescription
ef remedies and for supervision of treat-
ment, the fee varies from $30 up im pro-
portion to the time required. It is possi-
ble to arrange through the clinic for the
administration of group. tests, either with
a view to reclassification of.pupils, or for
measuring their achievement in terms of
standards determined for comparable
schools. For the administration of group
tests the cost will vary with the length of
the test 4nd the number of pupils. The
charge for furnishing test material, for
giving and scoring tests will be approxi-
mately $1.50 for an hour test per pupil,
and in proportion for longer tests.
The staff of the clinic includes Pro-
fessor Agnes L. Rogers, Director, Pro-
fessor of Education and Psychology in
Bryn. Mawr College; Miss Ella M.
Gardner, Assistant Director, who will
' specialize in the placement of children in
their proper groups for purposes of ‘n-
struction and social adjustment, and Dr.
Ilse Forest, Associate in the Department
of Education. specialist in the examina-
~tion of the pre-school child. In addition
the clinic will have the services of a medi-

sultants. Miss Gardner will have charge

Hard to Gaih Publicity,
is 1857 Monet went to Paris. There
the artistic public’ opinion was moulded
entirely by ‘the conventional members of
the Academie des Beaux “Arts; such a
man as Monet was forced to ‘hold a
private salon, 6r not get his works before
the public. : With Renoir the young
artist set off for Switzerland and free?
¢om. There they met Cezanne, Piscasso,
&
dépéendent, truth-seeking ‘Painters who7
founded»the Impressionist school. They
were interested only in art, .and each
did his own téchnical. research, so that,
although fundamentally the work of the
group: expounded the same artistic theo-
ries, still each artist developed in his
individual way. In 1874 the group held
their first exhibition; the critics, of
course, did not approve. However, by
1885 the battle had been partially won,
and in 1888 Monet gave a private exhibi-
tion. Among the distinguished -gnreup
who first recognized the merits of this
work were Zola, Daudet, and Clemen-
ceau, who was a life-long . friend’ of
Monet’s.
The first period of Monet’s work is
that which shows the -influence of Cour-
bet and Manet. He paints interiors and
portraits, in which the design and com-
position are excellent, and the colors
rich, During this period, too, come his
earliest landscapes.
Uses Only Six Colors.
In about 1876 we come upon Monet’s
great period of work; he has absorbed
the external influences, and he reflects
only the impressions which he has_re-
ceived directly. Too, Monet has now
learned the secrets of light which are
to impart the most individuality to his
work. He uses only six colors, and still
he realizes resfilts from a cothbination
of the- oo colors. To pass
from Rousseau. to Monet, said M. Des-
clos, is to go from a dafk hall into the
bright open’ sunlight. During the se¢-
ond and third periods of his work Monet
ccentinues to experiment in painting sun-
light, and he finally reaches the point
wherét-he is even able to paint the sun‘s
rays. By means of “petites touches de
couleur~pur” he gives to his pictures an
unusual clarity; though he knows what
the color of a thing actually is, he paints
it just exactly as it appears to him. In
order to do this he was forced to oppose
ali the technique of the periodg and he
traveled all over Europe — studying
directly from nature. His work por-
trayed not a place, but an instant.
In 1890 comes Monet's fourth period;
this includes series of pictures in which
hé portrays the different aspects of one |
subject. In this work M. Desclos com-
pared Monet to a_musician ; one color is
to a series of pictures as the main theme
is to an entire symphony. It is remark-
able to see all the poetry and_ beauty
which he is able to find in the most
The fifth of- Monet’s periods 1s also
his last; here again his interest lies in
the most fluid and immaterial of all
things, light itself. In the series of pic-
turgs which are now contained in the
Mbnet Museum his chief interest is. iri
light as it is reflected in water.
In all, ‘Monet is described as
profound, and “degage.” His was a life
consecrated to an ideal; in his search
for beauty all tradition and convention
are thrown to the winds. Monet pene-
trates to the significant and profound

Some of the other treasures of fairy-

Ivory Spinning Wheel of the Sleeping

the Rose and Tiger Lily who talked to

oil that killed Ali Baba’s forty thieves.
There is also a “fairy” grand piano,

that runs just like its full size brother; a
real treasure chest with complicated lock
and lid just like the big ones used by
Captain Kidd, and yet it is scarcely two
