MR. CLARK  PRESENTS  PROBLEMS
OF. LABOR   SITUATION   IN   AMERICA
"The Future of American Labor" was the
' general subject of Mr. Evans Clark, speak-
ing last Wednesday evening in Taylor Hall,
under the auspices of the World Citizenship
Committee. Mr. Clark is one of the direc-
tors of the Labor Bureau, whose service is
to aid labor union activities by supplying
statistics.                      ^
Mr. Clark discussed the present situation
of American labor and the possibilities of
its following European precedent in work-
ing for control of industrial and social life.
The desire for democracy in industry is
felt everywhere, he said; the workers are
aroused against the..excess profits made by
employers andflrant an industry run by
labor. In" America this sentiment has been
augmented by the recent wage reduction,
high cost of living, the open-shop drive,
and the injunction wave-
Radicalism, contrary to socialism, wishes
to accomplish this aim by violence, con-
cluded Mr. Clark, but the organization is
too weak as yet to be more than a threat
Sooner or later the changes in industry
will be brought about.

Backbone of Alumnae  Defense
With a goal to the credit of every mem-
ber of the team except the goal keeper,
the Varsity Water-Polo Team defeated the
Alumnae 10-0 in the annual match game
last Wednesday night.     '
Playing a fast game, characterized by
good team work between E. Cope, '21,
varsity captain, and the forwards, the un-
dergraduates piled up 8 points during the

up by M. Scattergood, Alumnae goal. In

'15, fullback, which culminated in a goal
by Miss Anderson.

ITie Bolm Ballet, accompanied by the
Little Symphony and conducted by George
Barrere, will give a performance in the
cloisters from 8 to 9.30 P. M., on June
2, the evening of garden party.
Mr. Barrere, who played at Bryn Mawr
before under Mr. Whiting, of New York,

economy applied td social relief.
Graduating from the University of Mich-
igan in 1908, Dr. Deardorff received the

was with the Bureau of Municipal Research

It has been said of the ballet that "it is
the re-creation of the arts, customs, man-

as the foremost dancer of the day, has
built his Ballet Intime on eminently edu-
cational and artistic principles. Whether

Permanent Debating Society   Urged
By Mrs". Pankhurst to Continue Work
"Have something to say!" was Mrs.
Pankhurst's chief adyicc to the last meet-
ing of the pnbllC speaking class on -Mon-
day night, in Taylor Hall.   '
In summarizing, the most, important
points, of the course, Mrs, Pankhurst em-
phasized the necessity of a Speaker making
herself heard by all and winning the agree-
ment of her audience. After this summary
a public meeting was opened, with Miss
Harmon, graduate student, acting as chair-
man. "How to Prevent Future War,"
"What do You Think of the Economic
Independence of Women?" "Should There
be Government Ownership of the Rail-
roads," and "Should we Have a New De-
partment of Welfare?" were discussed by
extemporaneous speakers from the audi-
ence.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks
to Mrs. Pankhurst for her kindness in
giving, the course. Ih returning thanks
Mrs. Pankhurst suggested that the College
keep up the good start that the course had
made and, with the approval of President
Thomas, set up a really permanent debating
society.                                       #
Social Service Committee   Plan to
Visit Settlements and Factories
The factory of the A. M. Collins Manu-
facturing Company, in Philadelphia, will
be the object of trip for Miss Kingsbury's
class in social betterment, next Friday
afternoon. Other students may join. The1
Social Service Committee may also ar-
range visits to the settlements in Philadel-
phia, the House of Detention for Children,
Philadelphia; the Cottage Home for Feeble
Minded Women, at Laurelton, Pa.; Brown's
Farms Home for CfippIecFChiidren, and
the House of Correction, at Torresdale,
Pa. Any students wishing to go on these
trips should apply to E. Bliss, '21, Radnor.
Other, trips which Miss Kingsbury's
class will take .are: May 10, Carson Col-
lege, a school fdr onplian girls, at Flour-
town, Pa.; May 14, an all-day trip to
Sleighton Farms; Darlington; the Glen
Mills Reform School for Boys, at Glen
Mills, Pa., and the Pennsylvania State
School for Feeble-minded at Elwyn, Pa.
students whose preparation has been at-
tained not through academic subjects, but
through a wide experience of people and
of things, a first-hand knowledge of social
relations and reactions, of industrial strug-
gles and industrial opportunities, and with
a power of concentration that comes from
taking part in the creative processes of in-
dustry. That this gives a real preparation
of a special kind has been proved in Eng-
land in the workers' colleges and schools.
When a careful study was made of papers
submitted by his classes, Professor A. L
Smith, of Balliol College, wrote. 'Twenty-
five per cent, of the essays examined after
second years' work in two classes and first
year's work in six classes, were equal to
the work done by students who gained first
classes in Final Schools of Modern History.
I was astonished not so much at the quality,
as at the quantity of the quality of the
work done.'"
Women Workers in Industry Defined
It was finally decided that the following
interpretation will be made of the phrase:
"Women Workers in Industry." "In this
connection the term women workers in in-
dustry will be taken to mean women who
are working with the tools of their trade,
and not in a supervisory capacity, and not
to include clerical workers, teachers, sales-
women, waitresses or household assistants."
"One hundred and sixty-two letters of in-
quiry have already been received, expreii*-
ing genuine, almost pathetic longing for
more education.
Each tutor will dfrect the study of two
groups of five students each, and will be
responsible for the entire supervision of
one of these groups. With a lecture period
of forty minutes and two hours a day of
tutoring and outside help, each student
would carry twelvc.hours of work a week.
The resident physician of the College
will be on part time duty in the infirmary
to conduct medical examinations and for
health supervision. Regular exercise, cor-
rective gymnastics and instruction in hy-
giene should do much to build permanent
foundations of health for our summer
patients.
Scholarships to be Raised
The financial organization of the College
is to be used in administering.the finances
of the Summer School, and after a discus-
sion the financial responsibility for the
school was assumed for various districts
of the country, money to be raised for the
scholarships by groups of alumnae and
other interested people.
The Directing Committee is Dean Hilda
Smith, chairman; Miss Ernestine Fried-
mann, vice-chairman and executive secre-
tary; Professor Susan Kingsbury, chairman
of instruction; Miss Leila Houghteling,
chairman of social activities.
V
BY-LAW ADDED TO CONSTITUTION
BY  UNDERGRADUATE  ASSOCIATION
It was decided "that members of the
advisory and executive board of the as.-
sociation be chairmen of the association
committees" af the last Undergraduate
Association meeting, held on April 14.
The regulation was added to the constitu-
tion as a by-law. This amendment was
passed to expedite the work of the asso-
ciation by having the committees brought
into close contact with the board.
