HOLD SOCIAL SERVICE  PARTY
Community   Center   Children   Give
Stunt Speeches on Sewing and Junk
Illustrating the work of the Community
Center, ten children from the town of Bryn
Mawr entertained a good-sized audience at
the Social Service Party in the gymnasium
on Saturday night. To the tune of "O
Mistress Shady" each one, dressed to rep-
resent a special activity, stepped out and
sang a description of her class.
Dean Smith, tracing Social Service work
at college from its beginnings, pointed out
the excellent opportunities for service in
citizenship which the Center offers at
present
The Center needs more workers than
ever according to Miss Helen Barrett, '13,
director, in order to meet the increasing
demand for classes in English, girl scout-
ing, cooking, etc. New and larger quarters
have been given as a memorial to the sol-
diers, by the towns people.
Describing the great need which junk
filled in the schools of the South, Miss
Applebee threatened to scour the campus
for contributions. A chorus of ragged
children, pickaninnies and friends of l>r.
Grenfell paradied the choir, bemoaning
their unappareled and junkless condition.
As a sandwichman, E. Donnelly, '21, urged
everyone to sign up on her to sew gar-
ments during the winter. Posters adver-
tising the activities of the Center and
dresses made in the summer for the Sew-
ing Committee were on exhibition, and ice
cream cones were sold. The college or-
chestra furnished music for dancing.
MAY DAY MOVIES HERE FRIDAY
Movies of May Day will be shown in
the gymnasium Friday evening at 7.30, un-
der the auspices of the Board of Directors
of the Alumnae Association. The pictures,
taken by the Eskay-Harris Co., will show
the pageant and scenes from different plays.
No admission wil be charged.

SIXTY-FOUR JOIN DEBATE CLUB
Mist Wars Addresses First Meeting
PUn Open Debates on Lire Topics
With a membership of sixty-four, the
Debating Club organized Monday evening
at a meeting in the Merion sitting room
and heard about the value of debating from
Miss Caroline Ware, Vassar, '20. Miss
Ware was a member of the Debate
Council at Vassar and took part in inter-
collegiate debates,
"I believe I got more out of debating
than any other college activity," the
said, "and I have tried several. Debat-
ing gives you ability to think on your
feet, to argue without losing your temper
and to plumb a subject to the bottom,
arguing on the fundamental point." Miss
Ware stressed the maxims of debating,
to know one's subject, and to convince
one's audience, then described technical
points in organization and argument
College May Hear Six Debates
Beginning in the first week in Novem-
ber, six debates on current topics will
be held by the club before the college.
The club members have divided into two
sides for the debates, according to
whether their sympathies are generally
radical or conservative.
Subjects for debates will be posted;
members of the club will sign up for the
one in which they are interested, and
from that list debaters will be chosen by
the club officers in competitive try-outs.
Before each open debate the speakers on
each side will hold two trial debates with
an alternate team before the officers and
members of the club on their side.
Bates  House  Entertains   265  from
Sprint Street Settlement
One hundred and fifty children and
115 adults from the Spring Street Settle-
ment, New York, were guests at Bates
House last Summer. Thirty Bryn Mawr
undergraduates, two graduate students,
one sub-freshman and two students from
other colleges helped to manage the
house. At one time there was only one
worker outside of the permanent staff of
six to take care of forty children.
The total $3229 given for the support
of Bates House by Bryn Mawr last year,
of which over $100 was made in the spe-
cial drive in the Spring, did not prove
sufficient, and the deficit of $800 was
made up by Mrs. Bates, the widow ei
H. Roswell Bates, in memory of whom
the vacation house was founded. Ac-
cording to W. Worcester, '21, Chairman
of the Bates Committee, something defi-
nite must be done at college if Bates
House is to be supported adequately in
the future.
Among those who went to Bates this
summer were: H. Rice, '23; R. Raley, '23;
M. P. Kirkland, '21; C. Baird, 72; A,
Smith, '23; E. Vincent, '23; I. Lemon,
'22; S. Archibald, '23; B. Clarke. '22; E.
Collins, '21; V. Grace, '22; J. Ward, '23;
W. Worcester, '21; O. Howard, '22; E
B. Brown. '22; A. Gable, '22; D. Stewart,
