was more for.celebration than’ for
sleep.
To begin with, the Harvard Glee
Club worked up a ‘state of great
excitement over the prospect .of
spending a-night in a female dor-
mitory. When they. stampeded in
at two-thirty in-the morning after
the danee, the very foundations of
Pembroke shook, according to com-
petent observers who were trying,
to get some sleep. Harvard came
in’ the back door, but instead of
creeping up to bed in the approved
manner they spent much of the
night taking pictures of each oth-
er. to prove’ that they. really had
slept there: They finally gathered

floor room, and proceeded to play
and chant until three-thirty.

event every year, will take place
on February 17 in Goodhart Hall
at 8:30 P. M. Tickets cost $1.20,
and the proceeds of the show go
to the fund for lantérns started
last year.
The entire class will have some
being held this week. Entitled
Tart Art, the show centers around
an art museum—further than that
we cannot ask. As for the class
animal, the’ manager, Ada Klein,
will only hint mysteriously that it
might be found -in'a Rock bathtub
at 6:00 on Friday, February 16.

Home for Incurables
In Need of Workers
The Philadelphia Home for In-
curables, which now has only 40
nurses aS compared to 65 before
the war, is in dire need of volun-
teers. ‘The work, for which no
training is required, resembles,
something between Nurses’ Aide
and Gray Ladies. Sixteen students
are now wanted for this vital work,
to go to the Home on the follow-
ing days: two on Mondays, two on
Tuesdays, one on Wednesday, two
on Thursdays, one on Fridays, and
four on both Saturdays and Sun-
days.. Anyone who can give five
hours, from three to five any after-
noon in the week; should get in
touch with Gwen Leege in Rocke-
feller.
Bryn Mawr has received a let-
ter from Mrs. Fuller, who is the
treasurer of the Home, for the 99
hours of work 12 students have
given this year. Those who have
already done outstanding work are
Emily Evarts who volunteered 15
hours, and Nancy Bierwirth, Mar-
ion Moise and Agnese Nelms who
have each given 13 hours. Eight
other students who have helped at
the Home are Louise Brown, Ann
‘Dudley, Helen Einhorn, Ruth Les-
ter, Toby Locke, Katherine Lutz,
Jane Ward and Gerry Pattison.

In 1939 the schoodgmoved to West
Park, New York, the home of the
first director, Hilda Smith. Since
that*time it has been increasingly
difficult to enroll workers for a
long. period of time due to the war
time demands that have ~been
forced upon them. In order to meet
these demands a short-term-train-
ing period of a week or mcre was
instituted to-co-ordinate with. a
longer six week period. *
Classes fall into three groups,
Economics, English and Drama.
Each course has a specific purpose
that is blended in with the other
two so'that the students can appre-
ciate the value of Economics and
English in their ordinary life.
Last year eight undergraduates
representing the top women’s col-
leges were at the school. The func-
tion of these undergraduates was
assistants. Their particular work
depended upon their skill-and as
far as possible their desires. Their
particular help was required in
teaching and recreation. Miss Ta-
bor is interested in all of those
students who are considering at-
tending the summer session of th.
Hudson Labor School and will re-
turn again in March or April to
meet them.

earned in teaching, she said, holds
no compensation, but there is great
compensation found in the satis-
faction of receiving a response
from the minds of the children.
Miss Harrington of Columbia
University, said that teaching can
ioe both exciting and wearing, but
that the fact that college classes
are composed of both fewer and
more mature students makes it
possible for the teacher to get un-
der the surface and teach thoughts
on the basis of the facts learned
earlier. Ideas can be taught to the
many differént kinds of, students
and there is opportunity for more
research.._Naturally college - pro-
fessors must have a greater edu-
catién than other teachers, and
there is more competition from
men.
