contagious enthusiasm for her task,
gave a recital of folk songs delightful
their intimate revelation of many pe-
culiarly national characteristics. Her
selections included cradle songs, drink-
ing songs, counting songs,—com-
ing-for the most part from the Scan-
dinavian countries and the British
Isles, although there was a group of
French and a group of Yiddish ones,
standing which results from an in-
tuitive grasp of the spirit of folk-
lore combined with investigation on
the subject. :
Madame ‘\ynd, born in Iceland of
Danish parents, at first studied voice
ing of folk-songs that she decided to
devote all her energies to their inter-
pretation—a decision which was for-|;
tunate, for her voice, which completely
adequate to the- purpose to which it
is now put, is not unusual either for
its tone-quality, or for its range.
However, assisted as it is by her ex-
pressive facial antics, Madame Lund’s
renditions are delightful.
Each selection was..prefaced by: a
short account of its content, and the
conditions under which it was form-
erly sung. The first group, thate of
sympathetically of all.
The German group presented a
wide variety’ in its group of three
selections: The song of a maiden who
has dreamed of her lover’s death (Der
Schwere Traum), plaintive in its lyric,
in its melody, and in its delivery; a
cradle song (Schlaf, Kindchen Balde),
and Die Vogelhochzett, the Birds’
Wedding, a ‘comic number which in
gave Madame Lund eats opportunity
for mimicry.
The Yiddish songs were rather dif-
ferent from those that had gone be-|
fore; they were heavier and did not
attain, even in their most light-heart-
ed moments, the complete joyfulness

Summer School: Aims

(Especially “contributed by Martha
Van Hoesen, ’39.)
Miss Thomas was the first to con-
ceive of the idea of using the Bryn
Mawr College buildings and campus
in the summer time for a school for
women workers in industry. In 1921
the project was started under tlie lead-
ership of Dean Hilda W. Smith, of]
Bryn Mawr, and a Joint Administra-
tive Committee composed of represen-
tatives of Bryn Mawr College and of
women in industry. Its purpose was
to “give the student an opportunity
for development~as ... a responsible
member of society, to encourage her
to discover her talents and resource:
in order to make some creative use of
them.” As I think oyer the course of
a typical day |
me that the se
with this. purpose in mind.
Every morning was devoted to
classes in English, science, dramatics
and economics, among which ecohom-
ies was the center of interest. - Work-
ing with women who have considerable
industrial experience, the faculty of
the school attempts not so much t)
instill new fac#s, as to teach working
women how to/deal with the facts they
already know. ifficulties of wage
scales, working~conditions, and union
organization, because they have rele-
vance to all of industry,:are studied
as scientifically as possible. |
The afternoons were spent in rec
reation, study, and special projects.
At first we had difficulty in persuad-
ing the students to take time out for
recreation, but the optional projects in
literature, writing, singing, art and
dancing were supplementary sources
of vitality. One of the most signifi-
cant aspects of this summer was a
new project carried on by the second
year students in their discussion of
the problems of household -employees.
In spite of the unique difficulties in
attacking this-situation throygh legis-
lation or unionization, they laid a
sound basis for further study. Since
then, in at least one city, a summer
school alumna has formed a group in
which women may meet with their
domestic employees to discuss, the
problems involved in their relation-
ship.
‘The evening was crowded’ with the
special discussion groups that could
not be fitted into the day. Saturday
nights ‘were usually spent in giving

Since A. D. 1902
The post and_ business -office. in
Rockefeller has long been a mystery.
It is known officially as. Rockefeller
Basement, and in spite of its lowly
title, takes care of many important
duties. Theresfood orders are sent
out, valuable packages received, pay-
rolls made up, and requisitions re-
corded. Six clerks are employed, and
over all, Miss Howard,chief—clerk;
casts her calm and careful eye.
U. S. mail trucks deliver specific-
ally directed mail to the halls. The
rest they leave in Rockefeller to be
sorted and readdressed with a finding
list. These letters, along with ‘marks,
summons from the Dean, minute’ slips
of paper arranging for’ inter-student
teas and reprimands from Miss Ter-
rien, are then sent out to the hails
twice daily.
The campus postman is - Pasquale
Falcone,. who has been at college be-
tween 30 and 35-years. He was a.
trusty henchman of Miss Thomas back
‘in frontier days. Now he is'a trusty
henchman of Mr. Foley, Superinten-
~ dent, , who is noted for his efficiency.
Moreover, she_has not as yet been
bored to extinction by his daily tramps | 0

Packages sometimes come hurtling
at your door while again a non-com-
mittal card bids you come down over
the hill and get them between nine
and five. The explanation is simple;
insured packages must be signed for,
others are sent' straight out from the
village. Further mystery clearance:
One must sign for one’s own goods

TEACHERS’ SALARIES CUT
Common “Room, February
Mary Foley Grossman, vice-president
of the National Association of Teach-
ers, at a meeting of.the A. S. U., pre-
sented’ some new aspects of the
Philadelphia School Crisis. “After
outlining the political and economic
reasons for existing conditions, she
explained the system of public educa-
tion as it stands, “ and suggested
further’: expansion needed. After
Mrs. Grossman’s. lecture, Eleanor
Bailenson, ’39, gave a report of the
work of the A. S. U. Investigation
Committee.
There is, Mrs. Grossman feels, a
growing hostility to education on the
part of big busirfess in this country,
which was expressed in the argument
lof the House over the Federal Aid
‘Bill. The general public, apathetic
to-this-sentiment;-has-already allowed
it to assume actual significance, as
cuts in appropriations, fewer cultural
classes and lower salaries.
‘In Junior High. Schools pre-voca-
tional classes have been introduced
into which duller children are put
permission. Here they have a mini-
mum of reading? writing and arith-
metic, supplemented by shops, cooking
and handwork. Such separation Mrs.
Grossman emphasized is-apt to make
the child recalcitrant, and does little
to prepare him as a voter.
The’ Mayor in his investigation of
schools found more than 85‘fads and
frills which could be eliminated., Ail
appropriations for libraries have been
stopped, as well as school lunches and
athletic equipment. Moreover, the
governor has asked for the reductions
of certain taxes which for years have
een delegated to the supporteof public
schools.
Mrs. Grossman ‘gamired her audi-
ence that ,this widespread . move
against education is, not due to re-
cession and money panic, but to a
well-planned ,campaign, which will be
brought out by the Residents’ Advisory
Committee of Education. Their re-
port will be published before digas
ary 15.

Industrial Group Hears
‘ Mr. Genois on Recession
Says 1938 Slump Due to Static
_ Capitalistic Conditions
Common -Room,, February 9.—Mr.
R. R. Genois, Philadefphia director of
education under the W. P. A.,
Industrial Group
led the
in an elementary
discussion of capitalism. -He sees this
recession as further evidence that the
capitafistic system has ceased to work.
Capitalism depends
money.
on borrowed
It is necessarily a dynamic
process, always expanding, and is best
illustrated by a spiral. ‘When expand-
sion is no longer possible, the process
stands still. In Europe, Fascism has
arisen chiefly, he says, tq maintain
capitalistic society in this static cons
dition. The methods of Communism
would also serve to. sustain such a
system.
To give a clear picture of capital-
ism, Mr. Genois represented. it in the
“nure” state. In a hypothetical busi-
ness 100 million units of wealth, that
is, commodities or services, are pro-
duced. These sell for 100 million
dollars of: which 30 millions. go/for
rent, overhead, taxes and dividers, 65
for wages and five for profit. This
last five million is the basis of capi-
talism. In Adam Smith’s economy
this amount is first saved and then
reinvested. Here the “pure” differs
‘from the actual capitalism. Actually
the business borrows, on "the strength
of the future profits, long before they
are earned. In times of prosperity. the
amount borrowed is greater than the
projected profit, in depressions it is
less, _since there’ are fewer. tempting
investments.
No very good explanations for the
collapses of this system have been de-
vised. The so-called Production In-
dex shows a similarity between the
Depression and the Recegsion. Where
100 is normal, the ilex fell from
tt9~-in-1928;—to-24-in 19327 A’ year
ago it had risen to 117 and is now at
89.
Further evidence, Mr. Genois
claimed, that capitalism has stopped
working, is that where in 1928 we
had two. million unemployed, in last
year’s peak there were eleven million.
President Roosevelt’s: projects made
the system seem to work for a while.
The fallacy inthe “priming the pump”
theory of relief, says Mr. sag is
that this money is producing .
wealth. . He sees only work relief a as
justifiable.
In answer to questions Mr. Genois
explajned that it is as much to the
interest of the “50 families” to have
a depression now and then as to have
prosperity. When borrowing is great,
money spreads widely; during collapse
it concentrates in the hands of the
rich. Piet ae
Mr. Genois. .does not. believe that
the recession resus from a deliberate
strike of Big Business. Last year’s
fear of a’steel strike under the C. I. O.
induced many industries tg buy un-
usual inventories’ of. steel which are
now blocking the market.

LIBRARY OF RECORDS
CONSIDERED POSSIBLE
College Inn, Thursday, February
10.—The effect of the new 44 hour
week labor laws in Pennsylvania on
the college schedules was explained
by Miss Charlotte Howe at the Febru-
ary meeting of the College Council
this evening. Miss. Howe also re-
ported on the work of the Decoration
Committee for the new dormitory.
Julia. Grant, ’88, and. Sarah Meigs,
’39, the undergraduate members of
the Decoration Committee. have been
choosing the furniture for the bed-
rooms, which will consist of a cot bed,
designed, as Miss. Ward suggested
“to look like a couch by day and feel
like a bed by night,” a chest, mirror,
desk, desk ¢hair, and lamp. The com-
mittee has also looked at a combina-
ition bookcase piece which will serve
as headboard for the bed. - It has been
&
suggested that either Julia Grant or ~ .
Sarah Meigs shall try living with the
furniture in her room for a short
time. The downstairs’ rooms are. to
be decorated in as plain a style as
possible, and no particular -period.
Emphasis is to: be on comfort and
eolor, The architect’ is cooperating
with the decorators in making certain
changes in the plans.
Julia Grant reported that the list
of people transferring: to the new |
hall ‘ts finished and posted. No com-
plaints about the decision had been
received. The plan of the new dormi-
tory will go into the book of plans of
campus buildings which will probably
be sent out to the applicants for ad-
mission this Week.
Miss Howe’s report on ‘the new
schedules for the: college servants il-
lustrated the means by which. the
resident halls, gymnasium, Taylor,
and the library have solved the prob- .
lem of adapting the compulsory 12
hour working span to a 16 hour day...
All the women servants have been put
on-the 44 hour week schedule, but the
system for the men has not yet been
entirely worked out. Cost for new
help required by this law will peiay
‘be about 1,800 dollars.
Mrs. Chadwick-Coltmstssaid the
°! months of March and April will be
given over to the campaign to. raise
money for the Mrs. Otis Skinner
Workshop. She said that the New
York alumnae and the Baldwin School
have begun trying to collect money,
and that ‘she hopes there will also be ©
enthusiasm among the students here.
Miss Park and Miss Howe said that.
ton the cost of’a record library. Records
are not only very expensive, but also—
very easily damaged, and Miss Park
would like to find out how much money
would be needed for an adequat
maintenance fund for the library in*
addition to whatever rental or mem-
bership charge there might be. Mr.
Alwyne has suggested that if a li-
brary is established the halls be pro-
vided with good electric victrolas, be-
cause playing records on cheap vic-
'trolas_is bad for .them....Miss Park
feels there. is a possibility of using
some music department funds -to help
the halls pay for good victrolas if the
students themselves. will pay half the
price.

Public Opinion
To the Editor of the College News:
Apropos of your editorial in-.the
February ninth issue, I should like
to clarify a few confusing points
about the Peace Council and its pfo-
posed constitution.
Until the present, the Peace Coun-
cil has existed as an informal com-
“mittee under the Undergraduate As-
sociation, consisting of the presidents
of the Undergraduate and Self-Gov-
ernment. associations and of chtbs on
campus, or their proxies, as well as
the editors of the .@ lege News, the
rbook, or their
proxies. Recently the activities of the
Peace Council necessitated a more
clearly defined position in relation to
what it should and should not be al-
lowed to do in the name of the cam-
pus. There was also the geriéral feel-
ing that since the activities of the
Peace Council were so numerous and
required’ a great deal of time, it-would
be better to have it consist in elected
representatives from the clubs rather
than their presidents. A committee
was appointed to draw up ‘a state-
ment as to the relationship. between

Theater Review
“For the first time in her histrionic
career, Ina Claire in Once is Enough
takes the part of an intelligent, mat-
ter-of-fact’ woman, -who goes so far
as to wear horn-rimmed spectacles at
times, and enjoys being likened to a
school teacher. Except for her dig-
nity, the fact that she is called “Your
ladyship,’” by. liveried individuals, and
the sumptuousness of the décor, one
would hardly suspect that she is a
end guests are peers. Our idea of
the: English aristocracy is limited
a mental picture of ermine-robed
dies and gentlemen solemnly adjust-
ing their ‘coronets in Westminster Ab-
bey. But it seems that they are as
abandoned as anybody else. —
Somewhere we reaa that’ Frederick
Lonsdale (the playwright), does not
say anything unless he has something
to say. In Once is Enough he is say-
ing either that if more women held
on to their husbands there would be
fewer divorces, or that there ought to
be more clever women: like his djichess
in the world. If. she were not so
attractive; her cleverness would be su-
perhuman; as it is, she is the domes-
tic counterpart of Sherlock Holmes.
A brief outline of the plot might clar-
ify matters. The duke (Hugh Wil-
liams, who was Steerforth in David
Copperfield) , becomes enamoured of a
temperamental, selfish young thing
named Liz (Viola Keats), whose hus-
oe is fat and un-understanding.
Far-sighted Ina Claire immediately in-
vites the pair down for the week-
end, pushes matters to the point where
Liz and Johnny (the duke), are about
to dash off to South Africa for a God-
winian honeymoon, and confronts Liz
with the statement that she will not
give her husband a divorce. Liz, fly-
ing into a tantrum, shows. that love
without a title is as nothing to her,
subsequently urges Johnny to urge his
wife, and- succeeds in disillusioning
him, too. The play ends happily, re-
uniting duke, duchess, and his~ small
Besides giving a new angle to the
divorce question, Once is Enough, aid-
ed by the presence of at least eight
other week-end guests, and by the
comforting, never-failing intelligence
of the duchess, is extremely amusing.
Viola Keats takes the same kind of
part as Penelope Dudley-Ward in
French Without Tears, giving the im-
pression that such sirens constitute a
definite English type. Johnny echoes
Liz’s words just as P. Dudley-Ward
echoed: her own, and the duchess has
the same sobering influence as Jaquel-
line (also intelligent) had. Ina Claire
‘as the pivot of the play, is magnifi-
cent; having seen her in Ode to Lib-
erty we were impressed by her com-
plete metamorphosis. She twists the
whole aristécratic house-party around
her little finger, but is still human
enough to be in love with her stupid
husband, Johnny, perhaps because he
looks like the duke of Kent.. Finally,
it is interesting to notice that though
the fascinating females. in these Eng-
lish comedies may get to first base,
they never “make a home run, or
rather, in more understandable terms,

THE PERSONAL PEREGRINA-

BURNE STAPLETON-SMITH or
Lost in a London Fog.
Algae did not see Mary Anne at
her court. presentation, but he cut
short his motor trip in order to be in
London for a few balls at which she
was one of .the reigning, belles.
interest in Mary Anne’s social career
made him almost forget his original
féar of the scandal which drove him
out of England three years earlier.
Later in the year he met her again
at the Dublin Horse Show, where -he
was showing his chestnut stallion
“thunter Anne de Montmorency, and
she was riding her grey mare hack,
Kid Glove. Luckily they did not meet
‘jon horseback.
During Mary Anne’s third season in
London, she was seen constantly with
Algernon, and all her friends as well
as the current crop of debutantes
were frightfully jealous. He was con-
sidered one of the most diverting and
charming young men in London, and
the excellent income, which he derived
from his mother’s-fancy sewing work
at her cottage in Bucks, made a great
impression on all the young ladies.
Nevertheless, Algae himself knew
that, compared with most of the young
ladies themselves, he was relatively
poverty stricken. He felt that he
would never have enough money to
marry and support a wife unless he
would determine to take over the fam-
ily tea plantation in Ceylon, which
had. been lying fallow for years be-
.cause. Algae, who had spent the most
important years of his boyhood in
India, hated the tropics. Before he
would allow himself to think. about
marrying anyone, therefore, he de-
cided to find some way of making a
little nest-egg for himself.
. It happened that one evening he
was a member of a party which in-
cluded all his most brilliant and ac-
complished friends, among: thent,
Virgil Elwelle, the accomplished Eng-
lish hornist, Lemeul Liggett Munch,
the noted; scholar; “Reginald Fayr-
weatherhaugh Rainbeau, Lord Mount-
everest, the brilliant young Irish peer,
and finally, Boris J. Besstead, Jr., the
distinguished ent spy. They
were all )sifting around the fire in
Reggi ug digs in the mews, and
Withers, Reggie’s catarrthic valet,
was stealing in and out of the room
with whiskies and sodas, when some-
one suggested that each person make
up and tell a horror story. They sat
around the dying fire until four the
next morning, and Algae’s marrow
froze and his hair stood on end, as
each of his accomplished friends re-
lated some. gruesome experience of
his imagination; but’ Algae himself)
couldn’t think of a thing to say. It
was a great humiliation to him that
he couldn’t hold up his end in such a
brilliant circle, and after brooding for
days, he determined to show them.
Sitting down one evening at the type-
writer~he began a story about a fan-
tastic monster. .Three days later he
finished:and sent to the publishers the
sensational book which was later to
be the prototype of all mystery horror
tales, Lord Peter Whimsey.
Not so very long after his sudden
}success~had~become-the—talk—of—Lon-|—>-
don, Algae slipped away from town
one bright June day to the’ little
sleepy village of Piggetts, Baggetts,
Thixit, Hackstead, Wood’s Hole, Es-
sex, and married Mary Anne Linsey-|
Woolsey in the jfny rose-trellissed
church, after. which he took her on a
honeymoon ‘to the~ Scottish -lakes.

Basketball Team Loses :
First Game of Season
Sudden Spurt of Energy Puts
Ursinus Ahead by 33-24
Gymnasium, February 12.—For the
first three quarters-of its first game
of the season Bryn Mawr’s varsity
. basketball team held the lead against
Ursinus. After that there was a’'sud-
den spurt of energy on the part of
Ursinus, which~caught Bryn Mawr
unawares. Amid shouts of “Come on,
Slim,” and “Come on, gang,” the op-
ponents started a system of short,
quick passes which not only speeded
up the game considerably, but also
rolled up a comfortable lead of 33-24
by the end of the game.
Whether or not this winning spark
was produced by an unusually strenu-
ous pep talk at the half can only be
conjectured. It was first noticeable,
however, ‘just after there was a sub-
stitution for one of the Ursinus for-
wards. Our guards found it difficult
to cope with the new set-up, and as
a result the ball remained in foreign
territory during almost the entire test
quarter.
The line-up:

The second team game against
Ursinus was slower and much less
evenly matched than the other.. Bryn
Mawr, on the strength’ of “numerous
very long shots, piled up a final lead
of 31-9. Enthusiasm, as usual, was
lacking, but the forwards seemed to
show good teamwork and a fair
amount of accuracy.

Anything unwanted goes to the

‘looks it over, okays it, and hangs it

Then, believe it or not, someone comes
along with a screw driver and tightens
up the knob. And all for the want
of a horseshoe nail.

a student: who fails to sign for her
first class after a vacation through
carelessness although she is actually
on campus. Many of the faculty mem-
bers on the committee feel that extra
work should.not be given as a penalty.
The student cut committee also met
with Miss Ward and favored the sug-
gestion of the Petitions Committee,
suggesting that a reduction of one-
third in the student’s cuts for the
next semester would be a fair substi-
tution. They also brought up the
question of the deferred examination
for deliberate cutting of the first or
last class before a vacation, saying
that the same question of giving extra
work as a penalty applied here; and
they would prefer to cancel ‘all’ cuts
for the following semester. _ Miss
Ward aid that she thought many
faculty’‘members would agree with the
student cut committee, and that the
only argument in favor of the deferred
examination is t it is almost in-
fallible in preventing deliberate cut-
ting. Most of the Council members
felt that cancelling all cuts would be
just as infallible, and also slightly less
disturbing to the academic routine of
the student.

were only about, three students at the
lecture on Pre-Buddhistic Art at the

all-college tea be omitted February 27
so that the attendance at the Trio Clas-
sique concert should be good. Miss
Ward pointed out that these teas were
inaugurated to provide entertainment
on Sunday afternoon, and that if the
Deanery entertainments were to be
resumed there will be no need for

Council is drafting a _ constitution,

Miss Park told the Council that
when the present building program is

said that she had never seen the grass

CURRENT EVENTS
The big event of the week is the
Naval Appropriation Bill for 800,000,-
000 dollars, introduced by Representa-
tive Vinson, of Alabama. There has
been an ensuing battle between iso-
lationists opposed to cooperation with
any other country, who want a navy
big enough to fight all .comers—for
‘which 800,000,000 dollars -is insuffi-
cient—and pacificists who want an vy
of minimum size.
To facilitate cooperation between
Great Britain and United States,
differences between Britain and Ire-
land must first be settled. With Great
Britain willing to co omise, bar-
gaining with yIreland will probably
result in Britain’s cancellation of
long-protested Irish anpuities in re-
turn for Ireland’s promise to prevent
the use of her ports by countries
hostile to England.
Meanwhile the world wonders about
Hitler’s “bloodless purge” of Febru-
ary 4. Hitler has now made himself
commander-in-chief of the hitherto-
anti-Nazi army, discharging former
Commander von Blomberg and re-
placing Foreign Minister von Neurath
by von Ribbentrop.
