Mrs.   Frank   VanaVrlip   Describes With Hard Fought Spectacular Game
Conditions in Europe and
Asks American Aid
The need of a "'feeling; of understanding
affection    between    the    COttCtiBljfcf    the
world,"   was   the   theme   ot  ^WrffTrrank
i Vanderlfp's   address   in   Taylor    Hall   on
Thursday   night. , Mrs.   Yandcrlip   is   well
.qualified to speak on this need, for she has
, just returned from an extended tour in
Europe and the East with her husliand.
Formerly a prominent New York banker
who has recently interested himself in
European conditions and published several
books on European problems.
"Before the war," Mrs. Vanderlip said,
"the countries of, the world were just get-
ting the economic scheme of interdepend-
ence and specialization worked out; the
wa�-wreckcd all J^is and revived "the age-
long hatreds which were beginning to die
out in peace and plenty, The situation now
is of readjustment and the difficulties are
many.                                                      .
In the first place perhaps is the ex-
change question; the countries of Europe ,
have had to part with a gold basis; a dol-(
lar- in Berlin is now worth eight thousand
.marks, and in Austria twenty thousand;
when I was in Poland I got a few dollars
changed to make minor purchases and
' founcLthat 1 couldn't carry the change in
a fairly good-sized purse; as\ there was
so much of it. And these countries must
have our goods; in Germany they have
only one third the food they need, in Aus-
tria only one tenth. The East made money
in commerce, hut Constantinople's com-
merce is now done and another city
wrecked. This, is bad for everyone, but,
worst of all, for those of fixed incomes,
and on the professional and educated peo-
ple and the young, civilization depends.
Europe Suffers from Our Isolation
"Our tariff and our theory of isolation are
hard for Europe. She must sell us goods
and yet we shut off her manufacturers with
our tariff. The working people of Ger-
many would set the world on her feet if
they were only allowed to.

The match against All-Philadelphia on
Saturday morning was the last game'and
first defeat of the Bryn Mawr. season, Alt
Philadelphia winning with a score of 11-3.
?A1 the start of the game, Varsity rushed
the ball toward All-Phi|hdelphi'a's goal to
lose it to the opposing team, whose un-
usually quick rinht wing. Miss Norris,
made the first of a number of sensationally
long dribbles. All through the game Bryn
�Mawr^ used the center and insides much
more, and the wings less, in carrying the
ball down the field, than did All-Philadcl-
phia. M. Adams, .right inside, made two
spectacular runs which were stopped by
Miss Townsend, center half for All-Phil-
adelphia, and the best player on the team.
I!. Tuttle, Varsity's left inside, fought well
and made many excellent plays.
In the second of the thirty five minute
halves; although the Brown team fought
hard, the play was mostly around the Bryn
Mawr goal.. E. Page, goal-guard, was re-
markably quick and accurate, making sev-
eral  astonishing stops  at  the edge of the

English  Graduates and  Coaches  Reach
Buck Hill  Falls
Henrietta, a Ford recently acquired by
Xliss Acquorth and Miss Macintosh, En-
glish .uraduates, and Miss Hutchinson and
Miss Barrow, hockey coaches, took them
on ;in exciting trip over the Lackawanna
trail to Buck Hill Falls during the Thanks-
giving Vacation. They met with a bear
and a wild cat *s well as two punctures
during their journey and had the unusual
experience of obtaining rooms in a Beth-
lehem hotel for a dollar apiece At Buck
Hill F'alls they were very much surprised t(.
find it rumored that they were an English
hockey team who had arrived in an aero-
plane and come to introduce the game o)
"jockey" into America.
During the Christinas vacation the same
party except for Miss Hutchinson arc hop-
ing to reach Palm Beach in Henrietta,
and they say that they will be delighted
to call on anyone who may live somewhere

MISS KING  REVIEWS NEW  BOOK
BY TURKISH AUTHOR
(Specially Contributed by Miss Georgianna
Goddard King)
Speaking of the Turks, by Mufty-Zadr
K. Zia Bey    Dufficld and Company, 1922.
A new book came into my hands this
week "which I read so quickly and with such
interest that I have asked to have it bought
for the library. It is all about the Con-
stantinople in which we were going about
last summer, confirming what we had
divined and revealing more than we had
guessed of how the inhabitants feel about
the Allied occupation.
The writer is a Turk, well-bofC edu-
cated on the Continent, whose father was
Minister to Italy, to Vienna, and to Eng-
land, and whose cousin was the Turkish
Minister in Washington; married to an
American wife, himself a good feminist
and a good liberal. He writes straight-
forward American'and links up his chap-
ters in an unpretentious .narrative* of the
return home last "year, the visits to rela-

UNDERGRADUATE   MEETING   VOTES
TO   CHANGE   PARADE   NIGHT
A   Longer  Christmas  Vacation
to be  Petitioned
That    Parade    Night    activities
cease after ten, was decided
should
>y an Under
graduate   Association* meeting   in   Taylor
Hall,  December, 6.    A pcti/'on  for chang
ing the Christmas vacation and an assess
ment were also discussed.
It was decided to rail this truce between
ten at night and eight in the morning, be-
cause it was pointed out. that then was
nothing accomplished during these hours
and that this time was a strain on.both
the Sophomores and Freshmen. The peti-
tion for changing the Christmas vacation
was passed unanimously. If this petition
is granted by the Faculty it will mean that;
the Christmas vacation will end Monday
January 8, and the classes which would
have been given January 6 will be held
tin following Saturday. The meeting also
decided to asse-s everv member of the
Association 75 cents, to pay for the pa)
day mistresses and for the cost of a now
floor covering for the stage.
WORKERS EDUCATIONAL
MOVEMENT DISCUSSED
Liberal   Club  Entertains   Member
of Oxford Debating Team ^ i
At Informal Tea   ,  ,,y
%--------
"You at Bryn Mawr know all about
workers' education, of course," said Mr.
Kenneth Lindsay, Member of the Oxford
Debating Team, who spoke informally St
a Liberal Club .tea last Thursday, "The
fame of your Summer School has pene-
trated to the far corners of the earth."
Since #ie departure of the other members
of the Debating Team, Mr. Lindsay^has
been visiting American colleges, partly un-
der the auspices'of tin National Student
Forum.   *?
At the Club tea in Pembroke West, Mr.
Lindsay began by saying that the chiet
bond between Englarffl and America was
their ignorance of each other. He went
on to describe the problem ,ne **' 'l:u'
was Hnyland's answer to it,�the return of
one hundred and twenty labor members to
the House of Commons. The labor move-
ment and the education of laboring men
are Mr. Lindsay's chief interests. Th^
Workers' Education idea was starfcd by
Mr. Albert Mansbridge, about twenty years
ago, when he succeeded in getting ten Ox-
ford professors and ten" trade unionists to-
gether to "talk things over." From Oxford,
the movement spread, Mr. Lindsay said, to
Cambridge, "an alluvial deposit of the
river Cam," and from Oxford and Cam-
bridge it has gone over the world, so that
now there is a branch in New, York and
even in New Zealand.
New   Methods  of   Teaching   Found
The fundamental thing in workers' edu-
cation is that for the first time people arc
interpreting their own experience. For
this new education, new text books have
been written and a new method of teaching
has been developed, in which the attitude is
critical, interested, zealous, and l>ehind
which is the dream  of remoulding things.
Mr. Lindsay feels with* Professor Detvey
that "politics and education are the same*
tliinu." and he says this movement for edu-
cation lias resulted in the Labor Party of
today which is "unparalleled in history,"
and which indicates the bringing together
of hand and brain workers at a time when
party division threatened to follow hori-
zontal class lines.                            �
EMPLOYEES CO-OPERATIVE SCHOOL
FOUNDED FOR BRYN MAWR MAIDS

first of its kind in women's colleges, was

trolled, self-supporting, and co-operative
for  its success.    All   maids become  mem-
courses in Dress-making, Literature, Eng-
lish Composition, Arithmetic, Latin, and
Pliysiology. Miss Clark, Reader m the re-
quired courses in English Literature, will
teach literature and Miss Hearscy, Eng.
lish Composition. .The Board has obtained
Miss C. Schuett to give instruction in
Dress-making.
