The women of nearly thirty different nations now ha \'c the vote. To me it will a lw ays be a matter of "cry great humiliation that so many count r ies extended this act of inevitable justice before o ur OWI1 The vote is no l onge r a to talk about-it is here. Not on l y is it here in o ur own country but in m ost of th e cou ntries of Europe-in Burma and In dia, in portions of China, in th e islands o f the Pacific, in Au st r a lia and New Zealand, and practically a ll ove r Europe. It is s tr ange, indeed, that in some of those count ri es wome n en j oy privileges not attained here.
Th e last till'l C 1 was in Germany, which was he fore the wa r , 1 had an expe ri e n ce, wh ich was not new to me. 1 r eca ll it because it is now a landmark showing where th e women stood at th a t particular m o ment.
In AUMria and in Cemlany (i t began in Prus.,ia ) the law forbade wom e n to beco m e members of any political society o r to attend political m ee tings. So when in Germany the wome n desired t o o r ganize a suff ra ge movement, it was an illegal thing t o do; women did not have that much pe r sona l freedom. B ut there was one \"ery clever woman who had studied law and although she was not pe rmitted to be admitted to the bar in Germany she sa id it was something to kn o w how to evade th e l a w . So they o r ganize d in the free c ity of Hamburg and had individual members all o ver Germany. If B e rlin o r Dr esden wan t ed to have a meeting th e mem be rs o f this Hamburg socie ty ca ll ed it. They had to go to th e poli ce and explain all thi s- that it was n o t a socie ty in B e rlin, it was in Hamburg . They announ ce d when it was to be held, the hall it was to be in and
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
who would speak and preside and they usually got consent to their meeting in this way. When the time for the meeting came, there arrived two poli cemen with what I call tin hats, and they sat behind a little table, one carrying a book and the o th e r a billy. They took off their hats and put them under the table and one opened his book and took the name and address of the chairman, who answered any questions he chose to ask . She introduced the first speaker who stepped over to the police with the book, and gave him the lady's or gentleman's address, and a full account of the speaker's life had to be given also. If anything were done cont rary to the law or the judgment of the man with the book, he closed his book, the two men took their hats from under the table and put them on their heads, whereupon the audience was expected to arise and depart immediately. If they should n ot go fast enough, then the policeman with the billy was expected to drive them out.
Being a timid person, I inquired beforehand what I ought not to say. I was informed that I must not mention the Kaiser nor any of his family, nor German history, nor anything about the military. If I would avoid these, I probably would not get into trouble. And I didn't.
Now let us jump over th e war period. Today the women of Germany are not only voting but the remarkable thing is that there are thirty-seven women in the Reichstag, women in each of the provincial parliaments or what would correspond to our state legislatures, and women in many of the town councils. On the International Woman Suffrage Alliance Board there are two German members, one is a member of the Rei chstag and one of them holds a cabinet position in her state. In these ways they seem to have travelled far ahead of this country.
The thing that interests me particularly with reference to college women at this time is the remarkable tests made in war camps. When the young men were conscripted and put into camps and experts made psychological examinations, it was found that ten per cent were too weak in mentality to be entrusted with the humblest duties of the soldier and it was not considered good sense to send them to France. It was found that of the young men between the ages that were io those camp. twenty-five per cent were illiterate, too illiterate to read a newspaper or the signs around the camp, too illiterate to read their little books of directions. Before that we had
COLLEGE WOMEN AS CITIZENS
always had the idea that we had an illiteracy of about eight per cent. That was because when the census man goes to a house, he says, "How many members are there in your family?" HFive." l'ATe they able to read and write?" uYes.". That might mean they know their A. B. CiS but not in any sense reading as we understand it.
Dr. Goddard, who conducted these examinations and who had largely worked out the tests and who is one ofl the great authorities on the feeble-minded. in an hefore the Charities Association in Atlantic City made this arresting statement. I don't suppose that he would really swear that the figures were positively correct, but we all know that they are approximately true. He said that there are ten per cent of our population who are supennen and women; that is, people who are capable of doing thinking for themselvesthey can analyze a proposition; they can see through a difficult situation and analyze complexity and confusion. There are twenty per cent of our population not intelligent enough to do that but they can und erstand the analysis when one of the supermen has carefully explained it to them. They can repeat it but they could not thinlc it out for themselves. Then there corne seventy per cent no one of whom is able mentally to go beyond the eighth grade in the public school. Consider that for a moment and what it means.
Approach it from another point of view. A writer on political parties, not knowing anything about this new phase of psychology because he wrote before the discovery of our human weaknesses was known, made the statement that seventy-nve per cent of men (that was before women were enfranchised) followed their parties without knowing why. That is, they are born Republicans or Democrats, as the case might be, without ever asking why they a re in that party. N ow put the two things together and, granting that the figures may not be quite reliable since not all of us have been tested, calculate the results.
You belong certainly to either what is ca lled the A minds or superminds, or at least to the twenty pe r cent which are the B minds. You co uld not be l ong to the seventy per cent o r you never would have been admitted to co ll ege. You belong, th en, to the thirty per cent of superior-minded people of this country . Therefore it becomes "'" clear as any mathematical proposition that if the thirty per cent who have brains enough to understand the intricacies of politics are to be indifferent about it, the unscrupulous people who manipulate and
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
control the seventy-five per cent wi1l cont r o l the country. That seems to me so plain a proposition that it needs no further demonstration than the simple statement with which you are a U more or less familiar
What are we going to do about it? Perhaps some of you say you wish we didn't have the vote. Then you would disfranchise half the supermen. One thing that has never been done is to see whether there arc more supermen than women. 'rhere might be more super· women than men.
Political work is not altogether pleasing work. Training in colleges has usually been dev oted to giving students a book knowledge in political science but has not connected it with the practical eX,periment. One must know something of constit uti ons to understand the fundamentals, but after all that knowledge has far less to do with the actual work of practical politics than it would seem to have. Voting is to many people merely selecting a man whom one does"'not know to fill an office whose duties are as unknown. It doesn't really matter whether John Smith or John Jon es fills an office, providing they are both hones t and fairly capable.
If the women had been enfranchised twenty years ago they would have come into a. fairly standardized political co nditi on. Some time before the war there arose dissatisfactio n about many of the present methods. Men did not like the way nominations were conducted, they did not like the way conventions were held, they did not like the way platforms were written, nor the way patronage was distributed, with the result that r eforms of various kinds designed to correct those things were growing up, each with a little movement or organization behind it. All movements of thi s nature were stopped by the war. When the war was over they began just where they left off. So we find a ll this commotion about whether we are going to nominate in conventions or primaries, whether we are going to go on men on a ballot forty feet long or whether we shall have a short one. These arc matters that demand serious consideration, whether we are interested in th em or not, because if the voice of the people is not correctly recorded and if voters do not rightly understand the issues before them , we shall not have a progressive nor safe government.
Behind all this debate lies psychology. There is mass psychology, herd or mob psychology, that is, the influences that make masses think
COLLEGE WOMEN AS CITIZENS
alike. I t is curious how that tendency can be played upon. There was an instance in the city of New York during the last New York mayoralty campaign. One of the public school teachers permitted her school to take a vole on the candidates for mayor. Every child in the room, boys and girls, voted for Mr. Hylan. The teacher thought that very interesting and so she h3d a discussion afterward and ask.ed, "Why did you vote as you did?" The children said, IiBecause Mr. Hylan is the friend of the poor man." Then she said, IITell me why Mr. Hylan is the friend of the poor man." Not a child knew.
That is an example. It was a slogan that passed through the city and it elected Mr. Hylan. Nearly always a tangled situation results in a simple maxim which passes for thinking and brings election results. The Republicans said after 1916 that Mr. Wilson was elected on the slogan "He kept us out of war." I think it was true and if you had been working in Congress as we were at that time and had talked with the Senators and Representatives as they returned from their states, I think you would have admitted that that slogan elected Mr. Wilson. Last year the Democrats said that Mr. \Vilson was defeated on the slogan, IIMr. Wilson sold us out." It was a slogan of the same sort. The women would have had the vote fifty years ago if it had not been for a slogan. The whole country united in repeating after the Civil 'Var, "\Vomen must wait; this is the negroes' hour."
Some years ago Mr. Johnson was; running for governor in the state of California. He was at that time very unpopular. Every speech he made, no matter where it was, whether at a mass meeting or a dinner, ended with the words, "1 am going to be elected Governor of California and when I am elected Governor of California I am going to kick George Herron and the Southern Pacific out into the Pacific Ocean. Good -night." The people laughed but by degrees they came to say, "He says he is going to be elected Governor, and after all the Southern Pacific does run politics in this state." And Johnson was elected. The onlookers said it was his little slogan that did it.
The manner in which the public mind is cont rolled, mobilized and millions brought up to the ballot box to vote one way or another by a simple slogan presents a whole field for study. That means that there is much to think about in politics besides merely e l ect ing men . •
THE ARROW OF PI 8ETA PHI
It is important to study the effects of campaigns upon the masses of the people and when these masses go against things that are right It becomes the duty of people who know and understand to set them on the right track.
Platforms are supposed to represent the principles of a party; they sometimes represent .only the absence of them. Not infrequently parties get into power or are defeated upon an issue that is not in the platform at all. One politician told this story on himself. He was standing upon the .rear platform of a train when a negro porter came out and told him that none of the passengers were permitted to stand there. "But," said the politician, "platforms are to stand on, aren't they?" IINa, suh. You are a politician and you ought to know platforms are to get in on."
In the midst of the study to find how the people's vote should be taken SO as really to get the opinion of all the people, there arises this strange thing that we call partisanship. There isn't to my mind anything in all the world like it. It is more nearly like the religious fanaticism of the middle centuries which fairly deluged the world with blood. It is like a superstition. People are born to their parties and before the little ones can toddle away from their cradles they kno)V that they are going to be Republicans or Democrats, and they know that theirs is the party that possesses nearly all the wisdom and virtue and statesmanship of the country. These are the seventy-five per cent. It is the twenty and thirty per cent that are respons ible for the thinking and the leading that makes the world go forward. If any of you think you don't like politics and you don't want to have anything to do with it, then let me quote a saying they have over at Vineland where there is a laboratory for the study of feeble -mindedness. I am told that the faculty there have developed a slogan and their slogan is, "Why not be feeble-minded and happy?"
We live in a world of progress and perhaps we might act like the feeble -minded and be happy with nothing to do with the world and its problems, but have we any right to this ease of mind? For some Teason you have been born into the superior thirty per cent. One man has figured out that each one of us has had, going back to certain time, two million grandfathers and grandmothers (He must have had a very little to do when he figured it out.) Each one of these millions has contributed something to our make-up and there was something in the combination that made each of you a superior mind.
COLLEGE WOMEN AS CITIZENS
There was something in your 'environment that gave you the desire to go to college, where you got the best training our country offers. You are what you are through the incident of birth and environment and you have no right to neglect the obligations f o r which those grandfathers and grandmothers prepared you.
I don't mean to say that al1 the people who work with parties are bound to the kind of partisanship of which I have been speaking. One may choose a party because he believes that that party stands for the best principles and is most likely to secure the prog r ess in which he believes. That is one way to work-inside the party. Another way is to work outside the party, working for the things you want to have accomplished. The greatest thing today, internationally, is to find a way to end war. The greatest American question is how to end illiteracy. Our settlement school is helping solve that problem. It is on e of the most important questions in the world. You can work in your party or out, or both ways at once, but you will be expected to make this a better world than it was when you came.
Many of us have thought it necessary for women to continue their women's organizations for a time until women are thoroughly in politics and understand their places and duty there. We thought so before the women had the vote; we think so more completely now than then. The Democrats and Republicans appealed to women to come into the parties and work immediately after the vote was won, but directly the Republican women and the Democratic women came back and said, IIThey won't let us do anything. They want us to vote the party ticket but we don't get on the inside, we don't get near the making of the platform of the ticket." Such women say, "I am throu gh with it." Then the Republican and Democratic women talked it over together and concluded that it was nobody's fault; only a condition. Men had not been accustomed to working with women and women were not accustomed to working with men, and a big adjustment must be made.
Inside of the League of Women Voters, as we have called it, there is that opportunity in which to talk things over and to work forward to the time when the women will be in politics because they are thoroughly trained for it. The woman's movement has not come to an end yet. You are asked, in your party or out of it, still to help the w9man's movement; that is, help emancipate and train women for the great duties that are to come to them in the time that has not

A year spent in histori cal investigation in England affords the Ameri ca n student the g r eatest satisfaction and delight j satisfacti on, because of the unrivall ed f acilities offered for r esea r ch, and d e li g ht because of England . The zeal for discovery of histori cal truth that is the inspi r ation of all who would be historical schola r s, here finds the utmost of gratification in th e knowledge that the vast stOres o f origi-
FUS CES EutA GILLESPIE nal ma terial s, for English history of course primarily, are at leas t accessible. Nobody except one who has pursued original investigation ca n understand the sense
of contentment that {o1laws upon the realization that the ultimate sources have been reached, beyond which there is no appeal. And in addition to this joy that comes to your schola.rly soul is that which comes to all the othe r SOrts of sou ls you may be possessed of, through the varied experience that accompanies a year's residen ce here.
American students arc able, I f ound, to sec mu ch more o f English life from the inside than I had imagined they would be. I am told that this is mu c h mo re the case n ow than before th e war. It is well to arrive in summer, when many others of your kind arc here. The American academic co lony every summer is numerous and the spirit of co mradeship that prevails in it is most pleasant and h e lpful to the new arrival. of them will always be men and women who have been over 5Cveral times before and have established co nnections that enable th e m t o be of g reat se rvice t o newcomers j and from my experien ce I can testify t o their kindly readi n ess to render that service. I ha\'e met men and w omen, graduate students and members of faculties, from many of o ur leading co lleges and universities. Among the more eminent o f these may be mentioned Professor Cheyney of Pennsylvania, Professo r Gray of Bryn Mawr, Professor E. R. TUrI1er of Michigan , Professor Williard of Colorado. Dr. Jameson and Dr. Frances Davenport of the Department of Histori ca l Researc h of the Carnegie Institution, Professo r Kurtz of CaHfornia, Professor Briggs of Leland Stanford, Professor Foster of Darunouth , ilnd Profqssor Lingel bac h of Pennsylvania, Among the younger group several have remained through the winter to work on dissertations and are m ost enthusiastic novitiates in the world of scholarship. These friendships and co ntacts, together with those that they lead to with English people, are not the least among the factors that make a year of study here delightful and valuable. It is a great comfort to have co ngenial compatriots with whom to share your experiences.
Another means by whi ch American students are brought into direct contact with various phases of English academic and social life is the American University Union. This was established in 1917 by university students who came to Europe with our entrance into the war. It now has a British bran c h and a European branch. Dr. George E. MacLean, of Yale, is the head of the British branch, and its offices are at 50 Russell Square . All students of affiliated
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
colleges and universities in America can register t\lere and receive assistance in various ways, such as obtaining advice and letters of introduction to academic and official persons whom it may be necessary for them to meet in the course of their studies.
And just here may I pause to remark upon the necessity of letters of introduction. Any student coming over should bring them from American professors if possible. Because of th em the inner chambers of the academic world are opened with a ready courtesy that cannot be too much appreciated. This willingness on the part of schol ars, librarians, and all officials to put themselves at the service of the serious student and to devote time and trouble to helping him solve his difficulties, is one of the most delightful experiences he finds here. In the social world the same holds true. The homes of the English people whom you are fortunate enough to meet are open to you and the warmest of hospitality greets you. You are likely then to be launched upon a sea of afternoon tea, which is exceedingly pleasant sailing, even if somewhat disastrous to steady attendance at the British Museum.
But to return to the American University Union. It often furnishes an opportunity of hearing interesting people. We have had this year a number of small teas for various groups of members, and at two of them Viscount Haldane and Bertrand Russell talked. Then there was a Thanksgiving dinner at one of the charming l ittle French restaurants in Soho, and an ann ual banquet ( to which women were admitted this year for the first time), when the gues ts of honor included Ambassador Harvey, the Rt. Hon. H. A. L. Fisher, president of the English Board of Education, and the Vice-Chancellors of four English universities. The wife of the Consul-General gave a tea for us during the Christmas holidays, and on the evening of Princess Mary's wedding day Viscountess Astor invited some two dozen of us to a reception to meet Mr. Balfour. This afforded a most interesting glimpse into the official and social world-the stately house in St. James's Square; the distinguished company of men and women which included such notables as Lloyd George, Lady Salisbury and St. J ohn Ervine; and the petite Anglo-American hostess and first woman member of Parliament. To continue the catalogue of eminent personalities of whom I have been able to form some personal estimate from seeing and hearing them, I might mention Lord Robert Cecil, Lord Bryce (shortly before his death), Dr.
N ansen, Viscount and Viscountness Gladstone, George Bernard Shaw and Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Webb.
Your studies are likely to take you to other towns than London, as mine took me to Manchester and the factory towns of the north. Here I discovered a different life entirely from that of London. I shall always treasure as one of my most valued experiences an afternoon spent in a cotton factory in Oldham, where I met the foremen of the various departments who painstakingly explained to me the whole process of the spinning of cot ton thread, and loaded me down with huge spindles containing the yarn in every stage of the process. Some of the workers spoke in the broadest Lancashire dialect, which was well-nigh unintelligible to mc, but their desire to be helpful was unmistakable and I shall always gratefully remember their kindness and courtesy. I was an object of much interest to the women "hands" who took occasion to inspect me whenever possible. But all of this, you will say, is not historical research. I wonder if it is not. It seems to me that as broad a comprehension of all things English as the student of English history can possibly gain is a part of his scholastic equjpment, especially if he is interested primarily in the social aspects of the more recent period, as I am. Attendance at meetings of the unemployed, talks with labor secre· taries, hearing the expression of opinion and observing the manner of life of people of all classes- these things help broaden the basis upon which his work will stand,
\Vith regard, however, to historical research proper, the manner in whkh you pursue it depends largely upon the field in which you are working, Among English scholars primary interest seems to lie in the medieval field and the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. If you are engaged upon any period latar than these you are outside the pale of true historical scholarship in the eyes of most of the history professoTS and students in Oxford, Cambridge, and London. You must betake yourself to some such college as the London School of Economics or to the department of economic history at the University of Manchester for sympathy. It is 80mewhat exasperating if you do not happen to be a medievalist to find how completely the term "medieval history" is regarded as synonymous with history. In King's College and University College of the University of London, excellent training and guidance are provided for the study of the medieval, Tudor and Stuart periods. There are Dr. Hubert Hall's

seminars in paleography and diplomatic, Professor Pollard's seminar in seventeenth cen tury constitutional history, Professor Jenkin's work in eady eccJesias ti ca l history at Lambeth Palace where th e archi· episcopal records 3Te at hand, experts to assist with manuscripts at the British Museum and the Public Record Office, and r eady access made possible to valuable private collections of manuscripts, as well as tllose in the libraries at the various Tnns of Court, the Guildhall, the Royal Historical Society, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Dut the student of modern social history is for ced to account himself somewhat hereti ca l at best, and is conscious that the real historians regard him as morc properly belonging in some other category than the historical.
He is not utterly without compensation, howe\"er, fo r at the London School of Economics he can have the assistance of such men as Professor Tawney, Professor Graham Wallas, and Sidney 'Vebb. Here, too , in the British Library of Politi ca l S cien ce is a mat chless co llection of pamphlets and statistical literature on social, economic and political history and conditions, largely. gathered by Mr. and Mrs, \Vehb in the course of their various investigations , especially with regard to trade · unionism. Another col lec tion of similar character, though much smal1er, is the one at Bishopsgate Institute ( the Howell and Holyoake collections), whi ch includes valuable letter-books of labor leaders and the m'::muscript minutes of the \V o rking Men's International Association of 1864. Then there is the Foxwell collection at the Goldsmiths' Library, particularly "aluable for the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Finally, no matter what bran ch of research you may be en gaged in, you will have, as the very ce nter of your existen ce, the British Museum. Here the marvellous collections of printed and manuscript material of all kinds are accessible, and every possible arrangement is made for the comfort and assistance of students. i\1 y particular subject of inquiry is the political opinions and activities of the work· ing classes during the latter half of the nineteenth century. For this, newspapers are a most valuable sourcej and in the British Museum for the thirty-year period 1850 to 1880 alone, there are on file nearly two thousand newspapers published in Great Britain. I give this only as an example of the magnitude of their collections. Greater treasures have never been assembled together than are here collected in the shape of every variety of human record I f you are a student
626 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
of ancient history, you have here the matchless collections of Egypt.ian and Assyrian records and remains, Greek marbles and inscriptions and manuscripts j if you are interested in China and the Orient your desires will be equally satisfied; if a medievalist, untold treasures are here for you in rare manuscripts and charters; collections of music and of the history of music are at hand; prints and preliminary sketches by great artists j pottery of every age and description j a rare and complete collection of bookbindings; and files of periodical publications in every language. The one thing I have found the the Museum to be lacking in is pamphlet material and reports for the history of the labor movement, a field in which the British Library of Political Science is so rich.
I must not fail to mention the Institute for Historical Research which has been founded in connection with the University of London. It is intended to be a laboratory for historical students from all lands who come to London to study. Here they will be able to find at hand a library of aids to research, such as bibliographies, calendars, and parliamentary papers, and here they can meet and discuss with each other their various problems, under the guidance of the professors of the various colleges if they so desire. This opportunity for discussion and semina.r work with English students is of the greatest value in promoting ideas of sound, careful work for what· ever else may be said of English advanced scholarship, it is scholarship, and is almost meticulous in its carefulness.
Here again in the Institute it is the student of the medieval or early modern period for whom most of the arrangements are made; but it has only been in existence a year and still occupies temporary buildings. It promises to be a most valuable aid to historical studies. Plans are being made by the Institute authorities for a reception to be given next July for foreign students and professors who may be in London at that time. On the side it may be interesting to mention that the contact between English and American students here some· times leads to vigorous arguments over our respective national institu· tions, particularly the merits of our colleges and universities; and not infrequently an American will depart very glad that there is an American colony among whom somebody can be found into whose sympathetic ear can be poured a defence of some feature of some beloved institution that has been under fire.
STUDENT LIFE IN EUROPE 627
This is a brief and wholly inadequate sketch of the life of the American historical student in England. Innumerable other factors go to make up the whole body of experiences which will be a valuable possession always. Not least among these other factors is the sense of nearness you feel to the who1e of Europe, and even to Asia and Africa. The appalling problems of reconstruction seem much more real, and much more formidable, when you are in the very midst of them. All of your powers of comprehension and of thought are challenged and much of your philosophy is severely tested. England herself is a wonderful field for the study of social forces, and her international position renders her keenly alert to kindred movements in these three continents. All of this is reflected in her press and the utterances of her lecturers, preachers, writers and public men, so that the observant dweller in Londo!1 feels himself in much closer contact with all such movements than the American can at home. The fact of physical nearness contributes to this reali7.ation, as does also the frequent meeting of colonials and Europeans on the streets and in public places. An American who remains here for several months is sure to lose some of his feeling of isolation from world events, but along with that he must abandon some of his buoyant con fiden ce in the imminent recovery of the' world from the overwhelming disasters that have befallen it.

Pi. Phis in America:
It has been my privilege to accompany my husband on this European trip. He is the recipient of a Belgian Fellowship awarded by the Commission for Relief in Belgium for study in the fOUT universities of this country, Brussels, Ghent, Liege, and Louvain.
Perhaps if I tell you of our experiences in the different countries over here during the past year, it may help some of you who arc thinking of European study. We (my husband, two boys agod two

and five years, and myself) sailed from New York on the French liner, Paris, and boded in Havre, July J, 1921. Proceeding straight to Paris, we did the usual sight - seeing in that most city. The niversity of the Sorbonne was just finishing its work for the year and beginning the summer session. The uni\'ersities of France and Belgium begin early Ir ' in Novemher and end in July The "um m e r work is intended for foreign students and con"ists of 3. series of cou rs es in French literature, history and cultu r e, divided into convenient sections for those who wish to spend only 3. part of the time there. Paris of course otTers the greatest opportunities to &tudents of all things, especially art and tnu!'ic.
Since my husband's work is ancient history, we were most cordially reeeh'ed by M . ]ouguet, ])rofessor of Greek, and had th e great privilege of meeting Professors Croiset a.nd G lotz.

Contrary to what we had expected with the exchange as it has been, the fran c being worth only eight cents, prices :ue anything but l ow, speaking (rom the point'of view of a student, not a millionaire. All Ameri cans are millionaires to Europeans, and all Europeans have learned to translate their local curr ency into dollars. H otel and pension rates are three and four limes pre·war rates and Baedeker quotations, and everything is in keeping with these including pourboires. The wisest thing for a student to do who comes to Paris to study is to connect herself at once with some organizatio n such as th e American niversity Union (whose directqr, Professor Van Dyke is ever r eady to assist), or with the American \Vomen's Club .
Our next impressions were made at Oxford where we journeyed (or the sununer meeting , devoted to R oman history and modern industrial problems. These meetings are held in alternate years at Oxford and Camb ridge and to them come large numbers of students and teachers of England as well as foreigners from all quarters of the globe to listen to lectures and addresses by prominent M .

university men of England. Oxford itself is a marvellous place combining most beautiful surroundings with a fine classic atmosphere. A summer spent in this wise is sure to be most profitable for knowledge, health and ;.nspiration. We joined the great throng of cyclists and toured the countryside and found rural England, especially Oxfordshire, a most pleasing place. Nor were we surprised to meet American friends also cycling on the back roads.
Our sojourn in Brussels started October 1, and ended for a time at Christmas when we left for three months in the Mediterranean lands. Now we aTe back in Belgium for the spring.
There are twenty-four American students here this year, six of them young women, most of them located in Brussels although taking courses in other universities during the week. One of the men is working in brain surgery, another in economics, several in Romance languages, in history and in art for which last Belgium has much to offer in the way of ateliers, collections and subjects. One of the women is studying sanitary hygiene which comprises the equipment of war-orphan asylums , the operation of the courts, physical work in schools as well as the more familiar elements of the subject .
The great Catholic University of Louvain is carrying on its work most nobly in spite of the recent vandalism. It has much to offer the student of church history, and of the classics. M. Pircnne at Ghent, the brilliant Professor of Medieval History, attracts many there. There are many others of fine calibre also in the other two univer· sities.
Life in Brussels while not nearly so full as that in Paris has much to offer. The opera and musical entertainments are excellent j there a re good theatres, and living is not as high here as elsewhere. The American students have a clubhouse where Thursday teas bring noted speakers such as M. Heymans, Minister of State and President of the League of Nations.
Belgiurg. and France seem to be little understood in America on the question of disannament. They feel certain that Germany is planning a war of revenge, that they will not be able to count on ou tside aid and that therefore it is n ecesssary to be prepared for any contingency that may arise. It is for this reas on that they maintain large armies. It is not an idea merely of their leaders but the belief of the people as a whole and cannot in any sense be considered as imperialistic or militaristic.

While in Southern Europe I found that the sunshine and blue skies of the Riviera have not been over - colored, they aTe as warm and lovely and as blue as the post cards. My husband travelled on through Italy, Greece, Palestine and Egypt while I remained near Nice with the children. \V e joined him in Rome and saw a bit of Italy together.
The chief center of American students in Rome is the American Academy comprising the two schools of art and architecture and of classical studies. There are also th e very successful British Schools and much opportunity in Rome along all lines of study. The many museums and chu rches and gardens as welf as the ancient remains keep one very busy and happy. If you go to the Catacombs of S1. Calixtus be sure to buy some of the best milk chocolate in the world from the TT3ppist monks. It is expensive living in Rome and becoming more so as the lira and prices rise together.
To me Florence has the most to offer of all Europe in the way of art and pure enjoyment of beauty. Poets and painters have laud ed it and pictured it far beyond my poor power of writing and Princess Mary chose it for her honeymoon. Then of course we went to Venice, the only city in the world of its kind sans horse except the one over St. Mark's. The children l oved the rides in the gondolas. The Byzantine exuberance of St. "Mark's and the wonders of the Doges' Palace fill and satisfy.
We saw our first snow of the year in Switzerland and hope to see the same snow-capped peaks next summer. Lake Lucerne was beautiful on the sun ny Sabbath we spent there. It was strange to hear German after I had just accustomed my ears to Italian. And the Swiss people in their Sunday·best looked most prosperous. Indeed we found they had little regard for a twenty-cent franc when it came to paying our bills. In Strassbourg we viewed the university from a covered carriage through rain and sleet and sawall statues of Germans with their heads chopped off. The Cathedral was very impressive. The Gothic is so different from the Byzantine of Venice or the Renaissance style of St. Peter's at Rome. Italy has given of her very best to religion which in many ways compensates for her poverty in material things.
For broadening one's viewpoint, for getting an appreciation of what Europe has done for civilization there is nothing better than a year's pilgrimage to the actual places and people. And if one is

CALDW"ELL, New York B, Barnard, I9I3.
r wonder if as a Pi Phi husband, known to some of you who were in Californi:t in 1915, I may venture to add a few words of information on the eastern end of the Meditteranean. I journeyed from Rome to Brindisi and shipped for Piraeus on a Greek boat. Tbe striking feature about Greek boats if; that first class is in one end of the boat and second class is in the other and one never knows in which either is going to be. Like Greek trains they arrive either ahead of time or from one hour to a week late. A Iso the Adriatic in one of them on a windy day is not to be recommendtd for poor sailors like myself. I, however, reached Athens in due season. It is a most marvellous place, not a city in the modern sense of the word but a most delightful place to be none the less. The blueness of the sky and of the sea, lhe many colors of the surrounding hills, the invigorating freshness of the atmosphere, and above all the crownjng glories of the Acropolis are beyond words. The National Museum and the little gem of a museum on the Acropolis are and should be the center of artistic pilgrimages. My most treasured memory of the trip is of a late afternoon when after I had clambered all over tbe hill-top and gone through the museum again and again I sat on the steps of Nike and watched the sunset over the hills and delighted in the shifting lights and colors of the Parthenon and on the landscape that stretched out before me. I made a rapid tour of the interior visiting such places as Ep.idaurus, Sparta, lthome, Olympia, and Delphi as well as :Marathon and Eleusis. A visitor to Greece should never miss Olympia and Delphi. I found Greece the least expensive of the European countries I visited, though of course lacking in some of the comforts. To have honey of Hymettus (so caIled) for breakfast makes up for many discomforts. For guidance and instruction one may rely upon the most kindly and scholarly Mr. Hill of tbe American School. Traveling in the interior is a rather haphazard affair since one has to depend on curious train service and still more curious hotels. Language presents little difficulty. Greece is divided into
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
two classes of people, those who have been to the United States and expect to go back and those who expect to go the first chance they get. A. an example of what one may do in those parts I heard of three American young w{)meo, teachers in Constantinople who took their courage, their blanket rolls, a supply of food and deck passage on an Egyptian mail boat for Egypt and Syria and had a wonderful time from all reports.
From Greece I went to Egypt, marvellous country of majestic remains of temples ,nd pyramids, of beautifully painted tombs, of the wonderful Nile, and most brilliant sunrise and sunset, and of equally wonderful high prices and demands for bah";s". It was by far the most expensive part of the trip but very much worth while. One must be weIJ armed with Baedeker, courage and a loud voice fo r beggars and guides. For information there are always the to urist agencies, the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A ., and the people of the American Mission (United Presbyterian) who are most delightful.
One can also take now a train from Cairo to Kantara, walk across the Suez canal and then take another train of the vintage 5000 B.C. for Jerusalem. There, too, are the agencies, the Y. M. C. A., the Mission and an American school. It is a trip well worth taking, though also expensive. To walk around on the soil of the Holy Land; to see the site of Solomon's temple and enjoy the splendors of the Mosque of OmaT which occupies the site j to visit the shrines which have been the centers of worship and of wars for centuries j and then to take a Ford and see the road to Jericho, the Dead Sea, the Jordan, the ruins of ancient Jericho, and on the way back to stop at Bethany are most satisfying experiences. The city itself with its narrow streets covered with a rches and filled with booths, people, donkeys and camels has a fine Oriental flavor.
From Jerusalem one returns to Cairo and, Alexandria to ship for Italy. There after a short visit to Naples and Pompeii I rejoined my family in Rome.
May I venture a fe.w words of advice to those who are contemplating their first visit to Europe? Carry your money in convenient form such as bank or express checks. Do not worry about exchange; you wiJI lose on it anyway. Get your visas as you need them and when possible have them stamped good for year. Do not blame European countries for their visa charges, tell it to your own congressman. It is our own fault. Practise your French; English
EXPEDITION WITH A POLISH PRINCESS 637
and French will carry you anywhere in western and southern Europe. Learn to count fluently in the languages of the co untries you expect to visit lest you be short-changed. Kn ow also the names of a few dishes and hotel necessities. Above all in whatever country you visit do not criticize too much by comparison with home but be sympathetic and friendly and try to absorb and enjoy the point of view of th e people you encounter. I n other words forget your troubles and enjoy what comes.
Sincerely yOUTS,

(Vivian Muir Smith, Wi sconli n A, served overseas during the war as a canteen worker with the V. M. C A. and Red Cr055 and later as a member of the Hoover Food Commi ion helped feed the babies and children in the devastated regions of CzechoSlovakia. In 1920 she returned to Europe with the Red CroSi where in the capacity of locial worker she investigated institutions, hospitaiJ, orphanages, etc., in Poland. At present Miss Smith is executive secretary of the American Red Cross, Sal,ine County Chapter, Harrilbuqr, lIiinois. On June J, she sailed for a threemonths' tour of EUrope being' in charge of a party of five. THe: Anow is especially fortunate in receiving from Miss Smith the following account of her experiences with a Polisb Prince ss.-THE EOITOIt.)
One day, when I had gone to Red Cross Headquarters in \Varsaw to turn in some of my reports and to get new assignments, Major Bea lled me into his office and told me a village near by had burned and wanted me to investigate. He told me that a Polish girl would go with me. The next day she came to Faksal 10, where we all lived, and had lun ch with me and we made our plans to leave \Varsaw the next day.
After we had talked awhile, I said, ell don't even know your name," and .she repJied, Hit is Lubomirska." So I introduced her to everyone as "Miss Lubomirska," not knowing until the next day that she was a PRINCESS.
We left Warsaw at noon, and after a four -hour ride on the train were met at N owo Radomsk by the family carriag e, which had seen better days, but was still regal looking with its coat-o r -arms and liveried coachman . We drove about ten miles through the prettiest countTY one could imagine: very flat , but with meadows throu gh which flowed tiny streams bordered by poplars and willows.
638 THE AR,ROW OF PI BETA PHI
I shall never forget the picturesque peasants and the geese. The meadows were covered with geese, and tiny girls, tending them, in th eir bright red skirts, and every girl wearing a string of red beads.
E very peasant in Po· land has red beads.
\V e passed three or four es tates with large houses, barns and other buildings, much the same as in OUT co untry es t ates, and finally came to K TlIszyna, the estate and home of the I.ubomirskas for many generations. The big iron gate was thrown open and we drove through the long avenue of trees, o ver the bridge, and up to the front ent ran ce of the Castle.
I had to pinch myseH to realize I wasn't dreanting, as I had never in my wildest thoughts p lanned on going to Poland , and here I was at home with Princess Natalja, who spoke English fluently, and was exactly like an Am erican girl.
The family consisted of fath er, mother, three brothers and the two girls, Natalja .and Ch ristine . At this time, father and brothers were in \Varsaw, but two ljttle cousins, who had been driven out of Russia, were living at Kruszyna.
Krus zyna-the very name spells pic turesqueness. It is teeming with history, as the g r eat·great·grandfather of the present Prince purchased the place from an old Count, whose ghost is said to walk the shady paths. The story goes that the Count had a son who was in love with a girl of the village, and to break it off the Coun t had her house burned, and she perished. The son, in frenzy, threw himself from his horse and was killed, while the father in deep remorse built a tiny house on the estate, and shut himself up with his daughter, living there until his death.
VIVIAN M l: JR SM 11'1{
EXPEDITION WITH A POLISH PRINCESS 639
The interior of the castle was even more interesting than the The huge entrance hall, in the center of the house, was filled with the spoils of the chase. White bears, wild boars' heads from Russia, deer heads and horns from their own estate, and on either side large T09ms, several of which were filled with furniture which had been damaged by the Germans when they lived there from J 914 to 1916. The dining·room to the left of the hall was ornamented with many silver trophies won by their horses in the days before the war. I could not refrain from asking what they did with these when the Germans came in August, 1914, and Natalja, the Princess, said, II I buried them all the night before the Germans came; I had only the stable boy to help me."
The main part of the Castle contains the living-room and sleeping apartments of the family. Connected with this by a long narrow hall is the guest part of the Castle, consisting of eighteen or twenty rooms, all large and famished like any American country house with comfort· able beds, chairs, chintz hangings, and many beautiful pictures and books. 1 had the same sunny room on my three visits to Kruszyna, where I was very much :1t home with these hospitable people.
The little village that had been destroyed by lightning several weeks before, was just beyond the Lubomirska estate, on the other side of the road. The Princess told me about the storm, and that it was indeed a strange one. Lightning had struck eighteen times during that Sunday evening, and had not once touched the Castle or its inmates. The people all fled to the Castle, as they did in the first days of the war, for in Poland peasants always look to the land· owners for protection and help at all times . Many of the peasants were seriously burned and several died later; but the Princess took them all in, and cared for them, as she had done a ll her life.
r cannot imagine anyone who is more a "Saint on earth" than this Mother Princess. The English governess, who had been in the family thirteen years, adored her, and many were the stories that she told me of the unselfishness and devotion to home and country, of this wonderful woman. Befo re the war the r e was the Russian tyranny, when Poles were not allowed to speak their own language or sing their own songs, and then the invasion by the Ge r mans and Russians, when the family left Kruszyna in the dead of night and fled to Warsaw. T h ere mother and daughte r s n u rsed for two yea rs, no t being a ll owed to nurse Polish so ldie r s b u t compe ll ed to n urse Ge r ma n s

and Russians. This from the Princess' own lips was a revelation to me.
Dinner the evening of my arrival, as every evening at 9 :3 0 or later, was a ceremonial. The meal was very simple, but served as in former times, with the two old butlers standing stiff and erect at the end of the room, alert to observe one's every need . Later coffee and tea were served in the drawing room. Such a picture of "hominess"this drawing - room: two pianos, a gramophone, plenty of reco rds, books, many tables and easy ch airs. It spoke of past good times, and more to come. The two little princesses fr om Russia danced the Mazur and other Poli sh dances f o r us, and before we knew it midnight was approaching.
Early the next morning I went with N atalja to inspect the village, and su c h a sight as me t my eyes! Nat a house was left standing, and the people were living in stables and sheds. Everything had been lost. I hastily made out a report, and Natal ja gave the names and ages of all the people and I returned to Warsaw.
I urged Headquarters for a truck, as railroad cars were almost impossible to get, and they agreed that this was surely an emergency case. I went to the warehouse myself and selected clothing for almost one thousand people--men, women, and children I It was placed in boxes and bales and we started back the second morning. It was about two hundred kil o metres, and we planned to make it in one day, but alas for our plans.
\Ve got along remarkably well, the American chauffeur, Lieutenant Van Wert and myself, considering we knew not a word of Polish and had no road map. The truck was a huge one having a green burlap covering and resembled a "prairie schooner." We created quite a sensation, and when we would stop in the town a crowd would gather and we would try all our languages, German being the only common language. In one town we found an American Jew who directed us to the next town but a bridge being out we had to retrace, so that at night we were still far from Kruszyna .
We were able to get some hot food and tried to find a hotel but I finally curled up in the blankets and slept on the truck until five the next Uloming when we co ntinued on our way. It had started to rain and we' rode seven hours in the pouring rain , there being no covering over our seat. When we got to N owo Rad omsk 1 knew the way, as I had driven over it before, so I chee red the boys up and told them
EXPEDITION WITH A POLISH PRINCESS 641
we were almost there. \Ve were very tired by this time having driven all this time with little food and few. hours rest, and the rain didn't improve our looks any. Lieutenant Van Wert told me that I looked rather weather·beaten but of course I was too polite to tell him how Ir, looked.
When we came in sight of the castle towers, I could scarcely contain myself, and as we turned into the gate, I saw the three Princesses, mother and daughters standing in front of the castle waiting for us. I stood up and cheered and waved as we drew up to the entrance, an AMERICAN TRUCK and three AMERICANS in the heart of Poland! I jumped out into the arms of the three. Such a welcome! We were all banqueted and refreshed and then began the unpacking. Two whole rooms of the castle were filled with the clothing; and such clothing. We worked for hours and the Princesses stayed up most of the night arranging it for distribution.
Early the next morning I looked out of my window and "the clans were gathering." Slowly they approached until there were hundreds waiting beyond the little bridge which spanned the moat. When the HPrincess .Mother" appeared at the front door, they all drew near slowly and respectfully, kissing her hand and showing their love for her and the f amil y in every move. She insisted that Lieutenant Van Wert and I hand the gannents to them, she calling their names, and so it continued for hours, with much bowing and kissing of hands, and great emotion. The Princess told them the American people had come way across the ocean to help the Polish people, and they said, 'IT hey can't be human, they must be angels."
One old woman came up to the Princess, and the Princess said to her, U\Vhy your house didn't bum," to which she replied, uWell, it wasn't my fault that it didn't." She was a woman from a neighboring village. There were many humorous incidents as well as sad ones, but on the whole, it was most gratifying to help these poor Polish people, simple and childlike, whose pleasures are so few.
We even brought a few medical supplies along, bandages, gauze and salves, as there had been nothing to bind their burns, everything having been used during the war and there was no way to get any more. The Princess was as delighted as a child with the bandages. Perhaps she was thinking of strenuous days in Warsaw, when these would have been a Godsend, or of days on her own estate when one jar of salve would have allayed much suffering. She, however,
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
hugged me again and again and said there was enough to start a hospital, and she could never thank us enough.
I left the following day on the train, and as I came out to the carriage what was my surprise to see dozens of children lined up, their hands full of fl owers. As I passed by they threw the flowers at me and one small boy thrust a large bouquet of r oses into my hands. I was almost overcome, but recovered sufficiently to smile my thanks, and murmur linku;a (Polish for thank you) which was the most I could do in a Polish crowd. Natalja wrote me that the people kept coming for weeks and I am. sure that the stories of America sp read for miles around.
I spent one week-end in July at Kruszyna little knowing it was to be my last time there, for in the last days of July we were o. rdered to leave Poland, and I hurriedly wrote Natalja, who came on the first trai-n to Warsaw where we spent the last two days together. We had planned so many things for the winter, when she was coming to Warsaw to work with us, but we reckon ed without the Bolsheviki . They were nearing Warsaw and the American women had to leave. No mo r e R eli ef Expeditions for me, but I shall never forget this one, nor the Polish people I learned to love so dearly.
A TRIP TO THE upARADISE OF THE PACIFIC "
By ROFENA BEACH AND MARY SLOSS, California A
It all came about after reading Frederick 0' Brien's W Irile Slradows of lire Soutlr Seas. The spell of the tropics was upon us and we had to get there. The Hawaiian Islands, of course, were most accessible although even they were more than 2,100 miles away.
Any of you having a like tendency or longing must book passage several months ahead because travel is extremely heavy at all times of the year and it is necessarily difficult to obtain outside staterooms which are the most desirable for absolute comfort.
We shall never f o rget those long, lazy, blissful days sailing on a painted ocean of such a clear cobalt as to seem unreal. N alure furnished new entertainment each day: first, in the fascinating Portuguese men-of-war, then in the flying fish and yet again in the
huge flying turtles which came up to make our acquaintance, a thousand miles from any land.
\V a\k.ing and deck sports kept us lit and yet our greatest desire was to sit in our deck chairs holding a book-yet we did no reading. There are many little things pertaining to the etiquette aboard ship. For instance, the days grew steadily warmer after we left San Francisco but it was not proper for US to put on white or light clothes until the captain donned his white duck I
We sat up all night in order to catch our lirst glimpse of the Islands. If you malee the trip you must not fail to do this as the coloring at sunrise is exquis ite.
We docked at seven in the morning and found many persons on the wharf who had come with beautiful leis to welcome all newcomers or returnjng residents. These leis were all made by the Hawaiian women. Those of Bowers-blue hydrangeas, red African daisies, whj te and pink plumiera were the loveliest. Of course, there were the yellow paper l eis such as we see in this country. The natives also call all bead and seed chains, leis. On sailing days the lei -mongers throng the streets near the docks and are very eager and persistent. They form a most delightful bit of local co l o r.
June is a lovely month in Honolulu for then all the flowering trees are at their best. Of these, the pink and yellow shower trees Tern inded us of wisteria; but we have nothing here at home so go rgeous as the red poinciana nor so outspreading as th e pink and white monkey pods. The last two have leaves that f old up and go to sleep at night! The hibiscus are beautiful, of every color, and hundreds of varieties and they grow everywhere.
There is much to do and to see about Honolulu, including the Aquarium, the Mauna Loa Gardens and the Bishop Museum in which may be found those wonderful old feather capes. Then, too, there are the drives. Of these Pali is no doubt the loveliest by day and the one around Diamond H ead, the most wonderful by moonlight. The Pali offers one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen . Pali means cliff and this particular one forms the only pass through the mountains.
The legend has it that when Kamehameha, king of Hawaii, wished to bring all of the islands under his control, he gathered his warriors and set sail for Oahu. Landing at Waikiki he was met by the Oahuans. The latter, being fewer in number, were pushed back
though the Nuuanum valley to the mountains. The clouds were very low that day covering the entire pass and the army of Oahuans was crowded back over the cliff, a drop of 1,500 feet. Needless to say, Kamehameha won the day and now a bronze tablet rates the victory. Knowing the story adds to the appreciation of the place.
Kamehameha, however, was a splendid ruler and is by far the greatest hero of Hawaii. A statue, world famous, stands in front of the Government House. Keeping a vigil across the slreet is an old Portuguese man who has watched the statue for years believing that some day it will come to life and so fullill another legend.
We did enjoy browsing through the Oriental section of Honolulu. There tiny Japanese w omen in gay kimonas clattered by on their little wooden shoes; Chinese women appeared in lovely native silks j Filipino women were distinguished by their volwninous, transparent sleeves; and Korean women passed by dressed in straight white gowns fastened with one huge button at the side.
It is simple to distinguish Hawaiian women from the others since with them avoirdupois is a virtue and a charm, which their holokus, either white or black, greatly enhance. The holoku is a motherhubbard- like gar!'Dent whi ch the missionaries substituted for the grass skirts. They are undoubtedly more modest uut they certainly are not so artistic.
'rhe Moana Hotel on the famous \V aikiki Beach is one of the social ce nters of the Islands. Dan ces are held there three times a week on its broad lanais and on those occasions the huge banyan tree in the court is lighted with hundreds of tiny globes.
The great attraction of Hawaii is the bathing, which- is at its best every hour of the day and night. Such famous Hawaiian swimmers as the Duke and his brother David , are at the beach every day and it is a joy to see them on thei r surf-boards. The surf-boards and outrigger canoes afford great sport for everyone. No greater thrill can be experienced than rating to the shore on the peak. of a forty horsepower breaker. It is better to have the native paddlers take you out since they can choose the best waves and they understand so thoroughly the handling of the outrigger .
We were fortunate in havin g "Steamboat" as one of our paddlers. H e looked like a head-hunter but in truth was mild enough. As we waited for the big swells about three quarters of a mile off shore,

We sailed from Honolulu at ten o'clock on a perfect morning . Four bands, two army, one navy, and one the native band, played for an hour before OUI departure. After we .. went aboard we all gathered at the rail throwing serpentines and leis to those o n the pier. It was a beautiful scene and while we pretended to be happy in leaving, there really was a queer choking in our throats and a desire to get ashore.

As the boat slowly left the pjer al\ four bands played that haunting song, Aloha and it was all we co uld do to keep from weeping. As we steamed around Diamond Head , all too rapidly, we threw overboard the last of o ur flower leis, as a tribute to that fascinating mountain and at the same time fulfilling the buperstition that if we did we would some day return.
So to all of you who may go to the "Paradise of the Pacific" may I quote the following:

BERMUDA: LA D OF THE ONION AND EASTER LILY
By BER THA A. WHETZ EL Michigan A
William H oward Taft in the Janu a ry number of the National Geographic has given a most excellent account of the Bennuda past and present, to which I could add very little, so mine must be a purely personal account of our year here.
The Other Half, being deeply interested in the causes and cu re of diseases in plants, was asked by the Bermudian Government to organize plant pathological work in the Bermudian Department of Agriculture. So, obtaining a year's leave of absence from his duties as plant pathologist at Cornell University, he transplanted his family
BERMUDA
to a Hltle house perched on a hill overlook.ing the land -locked harbor and the city of Hamilton, and started, in June, 1921, to make the acquaintance of the diseases to which the plants of this land of the onion and the Easter Lily are heir.
There are two chief industries on the islands: tourists and agriculture, with the emphasis on the first named. 17rom January to May , the American tourist is very much in evidence, and the Bermudian exerts himself to reap his harvest. Then the islands settle down to seven months of slumbrous calm with comparatively few strenuous Ameri cans to disturb the even tenor of their ways.
The work of the Other Half has brought us into contact chiefly with the old Bermudian families rather than with the idle Am eri can pleasure-seeker and we have found them a cha rming people, proud of their Ufamily trees," the roots of many of whi c h might be found on some old pirate ship plying its trade in the West Indies some two or three ce nturies ago and slipping up to the "Summer Isles" to rest when business became dull. The names which one finds in the early history of the islands are the names of the leading families of today-the members of parliament, professional men, etc. It is something of a shock to find that the dusky damsel who scrubs your kitchen and the colored person who, in theory, cleanses your linen, also bear the names of the leading families, until one reca lls that neaTly one hundred years ago, all slaves in the islands rece ived their freedOI;n and straightway adopted the names of their late master,).
The tourists who come down here aPld stay at the hotels go through a round of dances, dinners, golf, and band concerts. 'The true Bermudian enters that life only occasionally. There are n o Ber · mudian millionaires so perhaps necessity requires that the Bermudian seek his pleasures elsewhere; if so, then praise be to necessity! After· noon teas where, even the men often come wandering in for a cup ef tea and a little gossip, swimming parties, and picnics o n the beach, all go to make up a life markedly different from that in the average American household.
I wish that I could adequately desc ribe some of the Bermudian houses, so that you might st:t: the c harm of the two ·hun-dred·year·old rambling stone structures, with the slave quarters sprawling all ove r the place in the rear, and squat stone chimneys sticking up in unexpected places all a dazzling white or a softened, weathered gray with the exception of the long flight of red brick steps leading up

to the front door with dainty little rock ferns growing in the corners of each step. Around the house is a lovely garden. Brilliant crotons remind us of our autumn foliage at home. The scarlet hibiscus and the Hmatch me-if-you can " make hedges wherever hedges are possible. Geraniums, begonias, and roses bloom an the year. At Christmas time the scarlet poinsettia glows against a background of white wan. During the summer, the enormous oleander hedges are covered with their lovely bloom. They are treasured both because of their beauty and because of their ability to withstand the winds, with their load of salt spray, which occasionally visit the islands. We of the north, who thjnk of the oleander as a little bush in " little green tub, greatly admire these twenty-foot oleander trees.
Business again! The Other Half found that a scale about as large as the head of a small pin was injuring the oleanders, having already killed great hedges of them in some parts of the island. A campaign was undertaken to check the spread of the scale by spraying every infested hedge, but the little beast has several other plants on which it lives as happily as on the oleander, so the spray could be only a check. But scientists had found that a parasite fly chooses, when possible, the body of the oleander scale in which to deposit its eggs. When hatched, the larvae feed upon the scale, qu.ickly causing its death. So colonies of these tiny llies have been received in the islands and established on scale-infested plants other than the oleander-as the spray used on the oleander would be equally fatal to the fiy-where it is that they will soon increase in numbers to such an extent that within three or four years they may be relied upon to wage a winning fight against the scale throughout the islands.
The old Bermudian famjlies are of course chiefly of English descent. Nearly all of the farmers, the men who ship carrots, beets, parsley, onions, and potatoes to the New York market, however, arC Portuguese, many of whom are unable to read English and some unable to speak it. So the work of the plant pathologist among them is beset with difficulties. They are an industrious, hard-working class and it seems that their lives must be lonely as the land suited for agriculture is very limited and the number of farmers consequently few. These, too. are scattered over the twenty square miles of the island's surface.
Transportation here is not so simple a matter as it is States. Not even a flivver exhales its perfume on the air. in the If you
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
travel, you rid e behind a horse, you ride a bicycle, or you walk. So isolation is not an unusual thing-many a Bermudian laborer has never been u up to St. George's," the only other town on the islands, situated twelve miles distant from Hamilton.
The school system is poor, and it is also a thing about whi ch the Bermudian is a trifle sensitive . Because of the large majority of colored people in the islands, the schools are all private, but they re ceive some help from the government and are under government inspection. There is difficulty in getting teach ers as the salaries paid are not high. In the Girls' Hi g h School, the highest educational institution in the islands, one can get the equivalent of three years of work in an average high school in the States. For higher education, one must go to the States, to Canada or to England. It is usually the boy who goes away to school, and he is not attracted by anything th ese schools may offer to induce him to come back here t o t each. So the teachers must be recruited from those who "happen down" from America, or from the girls who have completed the course here but ha..ve no other training. We Americans can see great need of improvement in the school system.
We would, of course, improve our sur roundings in many waysthat is an American chara cteristic, call it virtue or fault according as you are the improver or the improved. We would clean up Front Street, r emoving the dust and debris of the hurricane of 1917. \Ve would emphatically clean up the grocery stores and introduce more modern methods of band ling foods. We would introduce modern methods into the postal service, also, and imbue the native with that respect for the mails which seems to be bo rn in an American. An d when all of ou r improvements were completed we'd look about us and see a miniature of OUI own count ry and then perhaps decide that we might as well have stayed at home and avoided that rough two-day ocean trip across the Gulf Stream. So we'll shut our eyes to what we consider Bermuda's faults, enjoy her many beauties and be grateful for our opportunity to live for a year under the English Hag.

CALIFORNIA BETA'S NEW HOME
California R is rejoicing in the acquisition of the Fish home at 2325 Piedmont Ave., Berkeley, Californ ia. Previous to the purchase of the home by the Pi Beta Phis, the property was appraised $65,000.00.
This new chapter house excels in beauty and has an ideal location for a fraternity house being only one block from the University of California campus. It is spacious, dignified and beautifully decorated without being too ornate; the lot has a frontage of 100 feet on Piedmont Avenue and is 165 feet deep, having an extensive terraced garden in the rea r.
On the first floor are the li ving-room, dining-room, breakfast room, reception ha1l, cloak room, library, kitchen, servants' dining-room and servants' quarters; on the second door are five unusually large bedrooms each if which has an adjoining bath and large closet, two sleeping porches, a balcony and a linen c10set j on the third Boor are three bedrooms each of which has a lavatory and closet, one bathroom, one haH closet, two balconies and a very large ente rtainment _ room suitable for use as a chapter ro om.
There are nine fireplaces in the six telephones, two showers, a garage with two rooms , two furnaces (one for coal and one for gas), automatic heater, etc. The floors are hardwood through out j the woodwork is a lmost entirely either mahogany or ivory enamel; and the closets are all cedar.
For the benefit of chapters who may be considering purchasing a new home the financial plan of B is herewith explained with the permission of the chapter.
On October 28, 1921, a ' i eaflet was published by the Pi Beta Phi Corporation of w bich Emeline Parsons Parker was president of the board of directors, Edith Corde, chairman of the special house committee, and Theodore A. Bell, chairman of the parents' committee.
This pamphlet stated that: "The Pi Beta Phi House Corpo rati on has entered into a formal agreement to sell the chapter house at 2709 ·Channing Way, to the Dahlonega Club for $26,500.00 less five per cent agent's commission. A deposit of $5 ,000.00 on the purchase price has been received, and the balance of $21,500.00 is payable on or before January 3,1922.

Instead of asking for contributions, the Pi Beta Phi House Corporation carefully worked out a plan so that all moneys advanced could be secured by a second mortgage in the sum of $12,000.00 with one of the parents as Trustee to hold that mortgage . This Trustee issued and delivered a Trustee's certificate for the amount of each investment. The $12,000.00 mortgage security was divided into 480 units of the par value of $25.00 each.
According to this plan, at the end of three years, forty per ccnt of each will be returned to the subscriber. The only sacrifice made by the subscriber will be the loss of interest for the first three years .

THE PRIN.CE SCHOOL FOR STORE SERVICE

As you have done your shopping in the department stores of yoUr nearest large cities, has it ever occurred to you that these stores might be your future field of action? That in them you might find your opportunity for service and self -expression? Perhaps your

only interesLhas been in the merchandise which you have been seeking, and you have accepted mechankally the service that has been given you by the salespeople. But good service does not, like Topsy, "just grow." It is the res ult of training and a developed store spirit. It is not unlikely that some co llege girl has helped to give the training to salespeople which has made shopping a different thing from what it was ten or years ago, f or there is a very interesting school in B oston which trains college girls for just this work.
This school, the Prince School of Education f o r Store Serv· icc, located at 66 Bca· con Street , B os ton, has g row n o ut of one woman's ideal for service.
Back in 1915 Mrs. Lu ci nda \V . Prin ce was
impressed with the tedium and drudgery which attended department store work, and she felt that much might be done f or the salespeop l e if there could be developed an interest and pride in their work.
With this aim in view she established the School of Salesmanship at the \-Vomen's Educational and Industrial Union in Boston. Here she instructed salespeople in the principles of good business, the value of arithmetic, care and handling of stock, selling points, and courtesy. At first the merchants looked upon this work as visionary but before long its value as a business proposition was proved and they began to clamor for instruction for other classes. To meet this demand Mrs . Prince developed a normal class to assist in the training of the salesmanship classes, and its members were thus pre·

pared to go out and sp r ead the gospel of better seLvice. Today the movement is widespread j progressive stores give training to their employees, and the public schools in many of the large cities offer special courses for students who wish to enter retail selling.
The Prince School has as its chief purpose the training of educational directors for stores and tea che rs and supervisors for retail courses in the public schools. So finnly have the merchants come to believe in its value as a business proposition that the National Retail Dry Goods Association and a group of Boston merchants contribute to its support. The appreciation of its educational value is demonstrated by the fact that it is affiliated with the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University, and members of its class of 1921 were among the first women to receive a Harvard degree.
The wo rk as now offered is a nine -months' course. In order that the students may have a background for their work, th ey spend half their mornings observing or taking part in almost every branch of store a ctivity in the Boston stores. During the month of December students spend their entire time in some store in Boston or another city in some minor executive position in order that they may bette r understand store atmosphere and store problems. The other mornings are spent in teaching observing a class of salespeople from the stores. In the afternoon students attend classes in textiles, educational theory and sto re problems; Harvard instructors give co urses in economics and in vocational guidance. One would have to search far to find a curriculum giving such a wide range of information and so much insight into the industrial and educational problems of the day.
To the girl who feels that she is not adapted to educational work, the school offers a fine foundation for other lines of mercantile work such as personal executives, service superintendents, employment managers, and f or merchandising. Whatever line of work is selected, one cannot help carrying away the ideal of service for which Mrs. Prince and her corps of teachers stand, and which should be the incentive of every college woman.
In order that each member of the class may have every opportunity to develop, the class is limited. This year's class numbers sixty-two, representing twenty-three colleges and fourteen states. The opportunity to meet and work with so many fine girls with such varied ex-
periences is, in itself, a privilege. Graduates of the school are found as educational directors and in other executive positions in stores from Boston to Los Angeles and from San Antonio, Texas, to Seattle; also in London, and Toronto; in school positions in many cities; and with such companies as the National Cash Register and Lamson Companies. The Prince spirit lasts after graduation, and the graduates benefit by the constant exchange of ideas.
The course is too strenuous for the social butterfly and the girl with poor health, but for the girl who is not afraid of work, who wants to feel herself a vital part of the business world or who desires to do a bit of worth-while teaching, in fact, the girl who aims to leave the world a little better than she fmus it, the Prin<.:e School offers almost unlimited opportunities.
LIBRARY WORK FOR COLLEGE WOME
With the exception. of teaching, there is no other profession in which women have come to the front more nearly on a par with men than in library work.
Since the organization of the American Library Association in 1876, women have been prominent in library work. They are now dominant factors and many are holding exceedingly important library positions. To date four of the national presidents of th e A. L. A. have been women: Mrs. Henry L. Elmendorg, Mary Wright Plum· mer, Minerva A. Sanders, and Alice S. Tyler.
Library work as a profession is practically a new field and it has only been within the past few years that colleges and universities have established departments of library science. Undoubtedly the two most eminent library schools today are those of New York State at Albany, N. Y., and the university of Illinois, Urbana, 111. These two schools require that an applicant have an A.B. degree' in order to be admitted for professional work leading towards a degree in library science. This requirement is also made by the University of Washington Library School, Seattle, Wash.
Other institutions where onc may go to study this work are: University of Wis consin Library School, Madison, Wis. j the Library School of the New York Public Library, New York City; Columbia
University; Pratt Institute School of Library Science, Brooklyn, N . Y.; Carnegie Library School, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Western Reserve Library School, Cleveland, Ohio; California State Library School, Sacranwnto, Cal. j Riverside Library School, Riverside, Cal.; Simmons College; St. Louis Library School, St. Louis, Mo .; Los Angeles Public Library School, Los Angeles, Cal.; Drexel Library School; and many of OUT state universities and colleges.
When you realize that in 1920 only 221 graduates r eceived library degrees in the United States, you will realize that the field of train ed librarians is not overcrowded. ]n 1918 this number was largtr hut decreased during the next two years on account of the war.
Library work has as many phase:. as teaching, if not more . If you do not care for the rou tine of being a catalog ue r perhaps you may be interested in the work of a children's librarian; in co unty Hbr:1ry work; in institutional, governmental, state, university, school or hospital library service. Then too there is a big field ope n to the development of travelling libraries, or f o r the establishment of special business libraries.
All of the aforementioned fields are similar yet varied in their detailed work. You may be fitted to serve in the navy or to disseminate information to persons living in isolated districts in the far West. A careful study of the needs of each of the specialized fields will reveal to you the things in which you are most interested.
The day of special libraries has just dawned. Business institutions are just a""'akening to the fa ct that they need infonnation at finger tips in order to ca rry on their business projects more efficiently . At present Mi s Ali ce L. Rose is librarian of the Librar), of the National City Bank of New York City. This library makes a specialty of material dealing with the financial, political, ann economic development in foreign co untries. It also maintains an enormous clipping bureau. The librarian recei ves questions of all kinds , some of which must be answe red in a few minutes, while others require days o r weeks of reference work. This is just an example of the library work which is being undertaken by corporations.
1n the south and west, women very often hold the position of State Librarian . This work usually pays well and is exceeding ly pleasant, bringing one into contact with men and women from the governor down to the poorest individual who may be in search of a law which will help to save his mortgaged homestead.

LIBRARY WORK FOR COLLEGE WOMEN 665
The question of salary is always an important fa cto r with a person trying to choose a vocation. In the Library] ou mal for 1920, volume 45, p. 802, will be found a good exposition of certain salary questions. It is under the heading HCertification Standardization and Salaries." In the Library Journal for 1921, volume 46, there is a great deal of information on the subject
A letttr from the American Library Association under date of January 13, 1922, says: "In the placement work of this office more positions are being filled at salaries of from $1,500 to $1 ,800 than either sala ri es below the minimum or above $1 ,8 00. Very few persons are now obtainable at $1 ,200. Vt,'e do fill from time to time a number of positions at $2,000 and above, but the most activity seems to center on, I would say, $1 ,800.
The following is quoted from a pamphlet loaned by the American Library Association:

\Vhen the wise old philosopher. Abou Ben Adhem, on findmg that his name was not r eco rded in the book of "those who love the Lord," said to the angel:
"1 pray thee then.
\ Vrit e me as one that loved his fellow -men, " he un co nsciously gave expression to one of the major tenets of any and all true religions. Th ough "exceeding peace" is not charac teristi c of our time, as we read that it was in Ben Adhem's day, yet, in spite of inharmonies and mal-adjustments, in no age of recorded time has love for one's fellow-men, taken in the broad sociological sense, been manifested in so high a degree. by so many individuals,
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
as it is today. This age is witnessing a turning from the earHer time of intense devotion to religion, a torning from selfish contemplation of the life to come, to a realization that life upon earth could be more g lorious if we but tried to make it so, and to a definite belief that one saves his own soul, not by selfish immersion in personal de,votion, bu\ by unselfish service, applied to the saving of the collective soul of mankind.
Among all in this modern day 'Iwho love their fellow-men" there is no one with whom old Ben Adhem would more joyously have joined hands than the librarian of a public library. For her sole mission is service, and to deal with people directly and effectively she must possess in the highest degree that jjenlightened social conscience" which regards every man, whether of low or high degree, of good o r evil repute, as a brother; which expresses itself in a desire to see that more individuals have life more abundantly than is now the case, and which gives her the fullest appreciation of every individual's duty to society.
We hear much today of true democracy, that great leveling and all-encompassing spirit of brotherhood_ Nowhere does it find freer expressicn than within the walls of the well administered public library. It is so mu ch a part of th e aonosphere of the library that it often escapes analysis, or segregation, by the casual or regular visitors to the institution. But it exists and is recognized. Witness the following from a recent popular novel:
There is more real democracy in an American publi c library than in any othe r institution in land. the woman of re finement waits on the o utcast. What man would dare to discount the these women had on such men Jack London and Henry George? When brilliant London tr:unped across the nation th ere was a woman in a Missouri tOWl) who talked to him in a library for three hours. W'h en George wa.s writing hii!l epoch -making bock, with hunger and destitution gnawing at his warm heart, these were the women that helped him. (The huo) owes a debt that black word s on white pa.pe r will never repay. today, perhaps, a library in so me far corner of the laJld is instilling co urage in a futnre George or London. And ten years from now perhaps her faith will be justified.
It is just the fact that the Hbrarian is thrown in direct contact with so many grades of human beings and sees life from so many angles, that gives her a better chance than almost any other public ' worker to be an effective agent of social se rvi ce, to be 3 great factor
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
As the publi c library many ·sided in its functiollli, the librarian must he ver:,atile in her administrati"e ability. For l1efore she can become a social worker she must sati!;faclorily operate the plant upon which her social acti\'ities depend. For her librar)' with it-. problems of finance , of building adjustment, upkeep and repair, of staff employment and staff management. of wise book purchase and equitable book distribution is a business requiring much executive ability. To properly adjust and keep in harmonious opera ti on all of its man)' factors requires ability of equal degree with that required in many business organizations mechanics of ope rati on are generally mu c h hetter known. Every lihrary is a business whose ilwestors and stockholders are the tax - payers of the COnUTlUllIty, amI it is the lihrarian's business to Sf.."e that it pay.., its holders good returns on the im·estmcnt.
Another important avenue in which the busin ess ability of the upto -date librarian I1mst he directed is in advcrtbing. For just as any husiness must advertise its wares to attract lho:,e who l..now llte'm not , so the library's !)tock-in-t r ade, its books, must be advertised with all of the aids that artistic ability and knowledge of advertising psychology can gi'·e. It is not enough to pro\'ide the pleasant building and the well-rounded book collection and then sit back and wait tor the public to come. A ce rtain per cent of any loca lity will naturally always do so, hut the librarian's wide interest in th e community mak es it necessary for her t o make definite e fforts to bring to the library the men and women, the boys and girls who do not know what books and the library have to offe r them. And in watch· ing the operation of all these factors of the bu.,iness side of the work , there is a certain definite pleasure in co unting the returns which they bring; if the returns are good or not so good as hoped, in eit her way they furnish a sti mulus to the ea rn e5.t librarian to devise n ew and better methods of operation.
To many librarians the greatest joy in the work comes from th e direct con ta ct with books, for all of the library activities are built upon books as a foundation. Nothing is done that is not, in some way, related to the idea of bringing together th e books a.nd people to whom they belong. And the opportunity and need for keepin g abreast of the flood of books in order that a well - rounded co llec tion of both new and standard titles may be maintained, furni shes a deep personal pleasure to the true librarian, a pleasure that ne\'er pall!s.
in the operation of all forces that make for educational and social betterment.
And she has made good use of this opportunity, perhaps often unconscious that -her work could be rated as definite social service. Long before the arrival of the popular demand for the American· itatian of the foreigner , the librarian was meeting these newcomers and giving them their first, and often their on ly touch, with American ideas and ideals, and whole·heartedly aiding in their assimilation of the manners and customs of the new country. Her social activities have been, and are increasingly, many and varied ) ranging through work with women's dubs in all questions of civic improvement; through work with the schools j with the religious organizations oj the co mmunity ; with the individual parents in their problems of the child's moral and physical welfare.
Thjs idea of the librarian as a social woker is astonishingly in con trast to the old-time conception of the librarian who was no more than a care-taker of a museum of books , wh ose escape irom their prison walls wa;; jealously guarded against. Happily this ancient type is now as extinct as the dodo, and no one mourns the departure. In proportion as the librarian is becoming a community worker and a leader, so the Hbrary which she administers is rapidly growing into more and more of a community cen ter For the only really worth-while public libr a r y is many -sided in th e broadest conception of the term. It not only offers to the general reader the function of a co ntinuation school of wondeJ;iul cu rriculum, but it gives service of equal value to the highly trained specialist in all Un es of work; technical, literary or artistic. And the new library buildings are not only furnishing attractive. reading rooms, radiating the spirit of welcome, but they a.e also adding clubrooms which furnish meeting places for the varied activities of the community. Within their wall s Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls, communi ty orchestras and ladies' literary societies, th e Farm Bureau and {-he foreign , .club hqJd their meetings, and learn to know the library as a home ·and as a means of education, throu gh books, in their different Unes of interest. Even the smallest of communities today is adding the community room to its simple library building, and thus offers to the boys and girls of the community often the only secure haven for thejr meetings, and to th e adults the opportunity to develop the spirit of neighborliness and good-fellowship.
The constant study of publishers announcements , the reading and selecting from book-lists. the reading and judging of the new books, the preparation of these for the shelves and then the final adjustment. that of giving the right book to the right persoll, all these constitute one of the great rewards of the ,,,·ork.
For the college woman, seeking an outlet to her activities, no profession offers more vital rewards than library work anrl to the person desiring to engage in social work of a high order no phase of the profession will appeal quite so strongly as the public library, that phase which brings the worker in direct contact with the people and the hook, which they desire and need.
And it is the college woman of whom the profe!<sion stands in particular need today. For there is much room in its ranks for the person with the broad background of gene ral education that the modern college gives. The college woman who starts with this general preparation which has given her a good understanding of educationa 1 sociology, and then adds a year of libr:uy training, supplemented uy wide reading through all of the years of preparation, will bring to the work factors which, when enriched by experience. will make for the profession an agent, all of who"ie latent power will be put into operation for the public good.
The ohjenion is often offered that the salaries in library work not as good as they should be. It is true that they have been, and in many cases are still. poor, but they arc growing be tter all of the time as library work becomes better known. The average now is undoubted l y as ' good as in any new p rof ession. And defini te r es ults ha\'e heen ohtained in large libraries in the effort to bring the !::alaries up to the level of the teaching profession.
And this brings us to the fact th at one great need of the profession is workers who wil1 pull together to advance it, it needs advertising and there is no better advertisement than the individual librarian who believes in her work and puts her heart in it. To some pe rsons one of the attractions of the profession is th at it is s till new enough for (!ven the youngest worker to be a pioneer in it.
"Where there is no vision the people perish." To the Ebrarian with a vision hroad enough to see the future of the work its rewards

are vital in the fullest m eani ng of the word. To her will come the , reward that was Ben Adhem's.
The Editor has asked me to tell something of the joys of librarianship in a co llege university. To one who enjoys the intel 4 lectual atmosphere of the campus, who loves books-to care for, to delve in-and who enjoys the contact with young people of co ll ege age and kind, I kn ow of no more delightful occupation than being librarian in the college library Here onc has an the advantages of tea ching without the disadvantages.
In a large university library, the work is necessarily much specialized, and so much like similar work in a large public library ; but in a small or medium sized co ll ege there is an infinite variety. all phases of which are interesting.
The tec hnical work of library administration: accessioning, classifying, cataloging, and keeping the various records, is the "same as in any other library. It is at the desk that the difference comes. 'r'he library is the big general coordinating laboratory of the whole insti· tution. Here come the freshlDan to find synonyms for English I , the sophomore for argwnents for ot. against ca pital punishment or the Great Lakes-St. Lawren ce waterwal proj ect, the uppercla ss man for materials for his term essay in history or geology, and the professor to get the most recent information for his lecture on Einstein's theory or the latest book on anthropogeography. With the various extra-curriculum the' iibrary also plays its part, assisting not only in furnishing material for the talks at the literary club, the club, the dramatic club, but also a,t times helping t o plaA the programs. The librarian is almost an ex-officio member of the varsity debating teams

large city high schools, en ter college with any real knowledge o f reference books and aids. The card catalog, the R eade rr Guith, even the dict io naries have unlimited possibilities of whi ch they do not dream. Surely the work of the librarian in giving t he key to such stories is one of acco mplisluncnt and inspi r ation.
An interesting minor phase of the work is t he co llecting and preserving of all kinds of memorabilia of the c ollege. This include; not only the regular publications, both official and student, but also the more ephemeral material such as programs of the various ' exercises and clippings about the institution. the student activities, and alumni.
In most colleges whi c h do not have a summer school, the librarian has nearly the same long summer vacation that the professo rs have Of course, it takes some time after Commencement to close the library, books have to be sent to the bindery, inventory must be t ak e n. and in the fall the librarian must come before the official opening to have everything in readiness to begin, but even so, the vacation is about equal to that of the public school teacher. The pay is probably, co n · siderin g the actua l time given, about the same as in public library work, and lik.e pay in othe r brapches of the profession. is rising But the best pay is in the joy of the work itself.

DR . GRA CE RAYMONO HERARD, I owa Z
Dr . GJ3Ce Raymond Hebard, Iowa Z, is unquestionably the most eminent woman of Wyoming. She is kno\',rn throughout the United States as an ardent supporter of equal suffrage and is an historian of note. Her chief hobby is marking old trails, battlefields and other historic places of interest. Dr. Hebard was born in Clinton, Iowa, and graduated from the Iowa State University with the degree of B.S. Later she r eceived an M.A. degree and holds a Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois. She is a member of K cj) and is Librarian Emeritus of the University of Wyoming.
Dr. H ebard was the first woman admitted to the bar of the State of Wyoming and although she has never engaged in active law practice has taught classes in law, political economy, sociology, western history and Americanization.
She was a member of the committee of three selected to draw up the petition in 1889 asking the Constitutional Convention of Wyoming to adopt the woman suffrage clause which was in the territorial statutes.
692 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
This eminent member of Pi Beta Phi was a trustee of the University of Wyoming from 1891 - 1904; ha.; been state regent of the D. A. R.; historian of the Colonial Dames; a trustee of the Wyoming Historical Society; a me,mber of the commiss ion to mark the trails in \Vyoming ; and in fact, has been or is now a member of innumerable important o rgan iZt'ltions. '
Several years ago at the urgent request of the United States naturalization agent at Denver, Dr. Hebard organized a special cl4l6S to teach foreigners the fundamental principles of our government and so successful was she with the work, that the judge of the District Court accepted her students for citizenship without other examination than that given by Dr. Hebard. During the war she was appointed by Mr. Hoover as state director of library pUblicity and head of the War Lecture Bureau (women) for Wyoming. In addition to Red Cross Work and other forms of
war a ctivity she delivered lectures throughout the state with marked success.
Nationally, Dr. Hebard is known as a writer of history and political subjects, being at present an associate edit o r of the Woman Cjtis:en.

DR D ORA NEILL RAYMOND, Tt'xas A
A very signal honor was recently conferred up on Dr. Dora Neill Raymond, Texas A, by the American Associa t.i on of University Women in awarding to her the Ali ce Freeman Palmer Memorial Fellowship of $1,000 as an aid for further r esea rc h work in history. This fellowship is only available to women holding the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Raymond was elected by the A. A. of U. W. because of t.he very unusual work whi ch she did in obtaining her doctor's degree. The only obligation attached to this Fellowship is that Dr. Raymond continue her work in historical research on a plan which she has already outlined.
694 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Dr Raymond, the daughter of the late Judge Henry Hart Neill and his wife, was born in E1 Paso, Texas, and when very young went with her parents to live in San Antonio. There, for nine years, s he attended St. Mary's Episcopal School for girls and finished her preliminary training with two years at the High School. During her senior year she was editor-in-chief of the school magazine, Tire HuisacJu, and received a prize offe red by the San Antonio
Chap t er of the Colonial Dames fo r a paper on .. Early Education in the Colonies."
Entering. the University of Texas in 1907, she was initiated into Texas A of Pi Beta Phi The following year she served on the editorial board of The Coyote
In her junior year, she married and left the university to live in Raymondville, Texp.s. There in 19 11 , was born her son, Neill Raymond.
OR. DOllA NZILL RAYMOND, Tuas A
Returning to the university in 1915, Mrs. Raymond resumed her work and in two years received the degrees of B.A. and M.A. In 1918, she held the University Fellowship in History and was editorin-chief of the college magazine, The Longhorn.
In the fall of the same year she entered Colwnbia University in New York City as Schiff Fellow in Political Science. Though there is no proviso against this fellowship being awarded to a woman, Mrs. Raymond is the only woman thus far to have held it. At Columbia she continued her resear ch work under the very able direction of Professors William A. Dunning and Charles Downer Haztn, receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1921.
Dr. Raymond's dissertation, Bn'Usn Policy and Opinion During 'he Franco-Prussian War, was selected by the editor of the Columbia Studies in History , Economics and Public Law, to be the first number of the one-hu ndredth volume of that series. With bibliography and index it comprises 435 pages and is published separately by Longmans, Green and Company of New York and by P. S. King and Son of London.
The author has been grati tied by favorable reviews in the Lond on Times, Court Gazette, Edinburqh Scofsma'l" and New Y or k Tribunr . More highly prized than these, however, is a long lett er fr om the late Viscount Bryce, who wrote shortly before his death to say that he was reading the monograph with much interest. Frederic HaT · rison and Sir Henry Lucy, two other eminent Englishmen, who were living during the time of which the dissertation treats, have also written of it very approvingly.
In addition to her historical work, Mrs . Raymond has con tributed books reviews to the Sunday magazine section of the New York Times and has had published several poems in Poet Lore of Boston She makes her home with her mother and son in New York City and is an active member of the New York Alumn., Club of Pi Beta Phi.

(Continued fr om March issue)
HIKES ANO STORy - TELLING
The altruistic work of our chapter is done principally by the individual members . \V ells' Memorial , a settlement house in northeast Minneapolis, is always in need of help and often on Saturday the girls take the little ones o n hikes or conduct storytel1ing hours. Those who sew or cook well ca n aid in classes of that sort. At Christmas time we aid W. S. G. A. and Y. W. C. A. in the combination party for the poor children. A third oppo rtunity has lately opened for us in the establishment of Asbury Hospital as a reconslfuC"tive hospital for wounded soldiers . The men are always glad to have someone read to them and are always delighted with candy and cigarettes. We are planning to present several numbers of our vaudeville for the soldiers at the hospital.

HEADED RED CROSS LIST
Last spring we were able to give $90 to the Settl ement School. This money we raised by taking over one of the ch ief theatres for one day, having our girls usher, take tickets, etc., receiving a profit on all of the ti ckets whi ch were sold through our own efforts. The same day we also served at the "Bridge Inn. 1t the favorite eating place of the students, the place being decorated in the n <ll co lors for the occasion and a IT 4> Special added to the list of refreshments. We received a special profit on every sale during the day. The event had been extensively advertised and we received ample re· muneration for the efforts. Early in the fall Janice Eastman, one of our juniors, had charge of the Red Cross drive in Beloit College. IT <I> headed the list of subscribers of both men's and women's fraternities and non-group students, subscribing $29 .00 . About Thanksgiving time a European Relief Fund Drive was started and all girls of the college decided to go without icc-cream for dessert on Wednesday nights and Sunday noons and the money thus saved was contributed by the college in addition to the other individual donations. The girls' Panhellenic Council decided that each woman's fraternity

HAS A $1,000 PLEDGE
Illinois Z has tried, first of al1, and I helieve that she has succeeded very wel1, to gevelop individual responsibility and cooperation. No unit can successfully do any outside work well unless it is made up of sympathetic individuals. This year the first thing we did in the interests of others was to buy doughnuts from the Salavation Army during their drive to help the poor. At Christmas time we gave a Christmas tiee and gifts to the poor children, through the United Charities. This January we paid $100 on our $1,000 pledge to our new stadium here at the University of Il1inois besides individual I pledges to the Y. W. C. A , Woman's League, etc.
Early t"is fall we ord<;red some calendars from some disabled soldiers who were making them in order to earn a few dollars. The money was sent back because not enough fraternities throughout the country had responded for our boys to make any profits. These soldiers did altruistic work. They acted for the interest of us, but what did we do in return, in this particular case? We returned the money in the hope that it would help them in some smal1 way . Liv · ing, acting and dying for the interests and benefit of each other is one of the strongest bonds which enables man to live successfully with hi. felIow·men.

5ETILEMENT SCHOOL FIRST
Naturally our greatest altruistic work is the Settlement School in which we have joined with the alumn", i'l various ways to swell their
contribution. We attempt to create a more democratic feeling by holding open house for the fraternities, Wednesday afternoon teas for the non ·fraternity girls, and exchange dinner dates.

SUPPORT A TINY SPANISH GIRL
Selfish m otives are Dot in keeping with the real spirit of II B <1>. Our most noteworthy altruistic work we do in conjunction with the other women's fraternity chapters of Wesleyan. We support a tiny Spanish girl in Arizona. Occasionally we receive letters from her, that are very interesting and full of gratitude to the American girls who make it possible for her to go to school. Our Y. W is helping to support Gingling College in China as a .ister college to ours. For our local altruistic work, we give an annual Christmas party for all the Mount Pleasant "kiddies" who come from homes where there is no Chrisunas spirit. This year we tried to revive the old custom of carol singing in all the towns from which our girls carne. The attempt proved quite successful and was a great deal of fun at the same time.

DOLL CLOTHES FOR BAZAAR
OUf altruistic work as a chapter has been confined principally to our work in behalf of the Settlement School, the work along other lines being done through the various other organizations of the co llege. Each girl in the active chapter gave her promise to make a certain number of doll garments for the doll bazaar which our alwnnre club holds each year for the benefit of the Settlement School. We gave in addition to that our annual gift to the Settlement School and we each elOj>eCt to send fifty cents at the close of the first semester. During the campaign last year we contributed to the Armenian relief.

They spend from two to seven hours weekly teaching grade school subjects, and handcraft, as well as managing the recreational and playground work. At Christmas time we sent a tree, trimmings and toys to the hospital. On Christmas Day, one of the seniors went to Oakdale, the State Tubercu losis Sanitarium, and with two other musicians gave a musical program for three hours. Since the war, we have continued the support of a French orphan. We have contributed to the Near East Relief Fund.

Missouri A has done her share in a1l of the general altruilitic movements of the university this year. Margaret King was chairman of the Student Friendship Fund committee, which conducted a campaign to aid needy European students. Margaret won a prize in this, as her work exceeded all the others in subscriptions for this fund All of the girls in the house subscribed to this fund, as well as to the sale of Red Cross stamps. Also, many of the girls gave Christmas presents, through the Y. W. C. A. plan, to poor children in Columbia, at a Christmas party given just before vacation. We all joined in selling poppies on the universal Upoppy Day ."

100 PER CE"T IN E. S. R.
The main altruistic work of Missouri B is, of course, in regard to the Settlement School. It has become a tradition for the alumn", of St. Lows, the pledges, and active .members to meet at Christmas time and send useful gifts to the Schdol. Moreover, the chapter sends it an annual sum of money and, in order to enlarge this year's amount, the chapter has raised the initiati on fee, the increase of which will go toward the "Settlement School Fund." The individual members also cooperate with organizations of Washington University, like Y. W. C. A ., in doing altruistic work. Missouri B takes advantage of all opportunities for altruism which chance to rise. Such an opportunity was olIered this year in the European Student Relief and Missouri B was 100 per cent in subscribing to this fund during the campaign at Washington University

ACROSS THE SEAS TO INDIA
Missouri Gamma's altruistic work has been founded on three axioms. First, uGo ye unto all the world," Mathews: 28. Second, "One half of the world doesn't know how the other half lives." Third, "Hold up for yourselves or others won't hold up fo r you."
To fill the first we were 100 per cent efficient on pledges to suppo rt a chair in College, India. For the second, every " ea rer of the arrow subscribed to the Salvation Army Fund to help needy people in Springfield. Then, for the last, we gave up all movies, treats and hair -nets for a seeming century and pledged $200 to the Endowment Fund of our own Drury College.
Thus ou r efforts have covered self, and gone out into city, past nation, and across the seas to India

Nebraska B has always been very interested in the Settlement School, but on account of college activities our members have found it difficult t o devote as much time to the cause as we desired. Our alumnre club has been very patient with us and plans a great deal of our work for us. This year we surprised the alumnre by having a Homecoming Luncheon which we planned and served ourselveai. Each active girl paid fifty cents and each alumnre, one dollar. This money all went to the Settlement School fund. The alumnI!: club sold birthday cake boards and Christmas cards this year with marked success.-

The whole university unites in a Christmas tree ce lebration with the sale of Friendship candles for some worthy cause. This year the money went to European Student Relief. Kansas A's contribution totaled $35 and so we received a large Yuletide candle and the K.

The gifts from the annual Christmas dinner and tree aTe always sent to loca l charity organizations for further distributien.

A WORTHY CHRISTMAS CANDLE
In additi on to the Settlement School Work this year, the members of Kansas B have assisted with the campaigns for Red Cross and the Disabled War Veterans with the local war workers in charge. Before Christmas, a campaign was held on the campus for the purpose of student relief in foreign countries. Selling candles was the means of raising money. A large candle sold for $35 .00 and IT B <I> was one of the many organizations that bought one. The candle was burned in one of the windows the night before Christmas vacation started and a group of carolers ca me around and sang wherever the candle was displayed.

II everywhere regards altruistic work :15 one reason for its existence. With this thought in mind , Colorado A makes special efforts to be lOOper cent in all worthy relief funds. In Red Cross drives our percentage has always been perfect. In supporting the Near East Relief, we took up co llections each week at chapter meetings, so as to have funds for a monthly co ntributi o n. The total contribution amounted to $100 .00. For other good ca uses, such as the Student Chinese and Armenian Relief Funds, we place a box in the vestibule of OUT house, into which we put our DickIes and pennies. To the Settlement School, whi ch is, of co urse, II real and permanent altruistic work, we give a large part of the proceeds of our annual bazaar, given just before Christmas, at which we sell hand-made articles, Settlement School baskets and cooked food.

HAPPY CHRISTAl AS AT POOR HOUSE
Our work along this line has been very little so far. In fact, we have only begun the work, which we expect to grow each year, so that it will soon be a thing for our chapter to be proud of.
At Christmas time, we decided to tum our thoughts to the poor. Our idea was to visit the home of the poor and try to brighten and cheer them on this happy day. We prepared gifts, fruits, candy and nuts f o r the unfortunate people and Christmas day we took the gifts out to the home and had a Christmas tree for them. We sang many songs for them and when we left they seemed much happier for the attention we had shown them. Individuals have, rontrihuted to the charitable institutions of the community.

\VORKING UNDER DIRECTION OF Y. W C. A.
Of all times when altruistic work should be uppermost in the minds of a chapter, it is at Christmas. Frequently this phase of a fraternity's life is forgotten or more usually merely overlooked. But the amount of good done by a chapter among the poor, truly proves the fraternity's worth. \Ve have rarely stopped to consider and realize the amount of work and effort our chapter has put forth along this line, but there is, in reality, a number of things we have accomplished. Always some Pi Phis give much of their time to the work among the poor of Austin under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. At Christmas this year, the chapter gave $15.00 toward making the lives of the children of this city brighter, and always has the LITTLE PIGEON had our strong and hearty support. It is, I know, the intention of the chapter to do much more and mu ch wider altruistic work in the future.

WORK AT HoPE COTTAGE
Texas B has done quite a bit of altruistic work this year. Last term the chapter gave $180 to the Armenian Relief Funol, and several of the girls as individuals, took orphans to feed and clothe. We also worked at Hope Cottage, a baby home. The girls received so many garments each week to make, and each one of us went out on certain days and helped the officials take care of the babies.

BEGINNING A NEW LINE OF WORK
As a chapter,. we are just begining a new line of altruistic w ork . Once a week a group goes to visit the Home for the Preventi o n of Cruelty to Children. It is a practically new field for work and we hope to do a great deal for the children. Ind ivid ual members of the chapte r, however, go more or less regularly to hospitals and insti · lutions, in the name of the Y. W. C.

A DAY NURSERY FOR MOTHERS
To begin with, Bozeman is a small town, and, as a result, there is no large class of poor, no need for charity amongst any family that is not admirably taken care of by numerous othe r clubs and organizations in the city. Our chapter, therefore, desirous of doing something in the way of altruistic work for the community, something that should make Bozeman people realize that a fraternity, simply because it is organized and chiefly operated within the college, does not necessarily have to confine itself ,\jthin such narrow 1imits, conceived the idea of giving all the mothers of Bozeman, for many of whom it would be otherwise impossible, an opportunity of attend ing the meetings of the Woman's Club, by turning the c hapter house into a nursery on those afternoons. Despite the difficulties that such an undertaking often carries with it, we have come to feel, from the many expressions of gratitude that we have received from all the mothers who have been benefited, that our efforts have not been in vain.

charity, under this plan, goes to one fund and each individual charity or charity organization is allowed a certain part of this. It is believed that this arrangement will place cha rity on a scientific basis and save mu ch that would otherwise be wasted. There was a large Community Chest drive in December and our girls mad e co ntributions in time and money to make it a success.
The elas es on the campus have had cha rity drives and the girls of \,ya shington A did a great deal to raise the amounts necessary for the different purposes. The Juniors worked out a novel idea. Certain members of the class dressed in old clothes shined shoes one day on the campus and raised more than $200 f o r their Christmas cha rit y fund .

Situated as we 3Te in this sunny dese rt land, a vast opportunity is o ffered us to d o altruistic work. Due to the bright, warm , sunshiny cou ntr y, m any sick persons come here in search o f health , especia ll y those suffering from asthma and tubercul osis. Mabel Angle, '23, C hairman of th e Social Service Committee, has taken advantage of our opportunities. She appoin ts Pi Phis to visit the sick at the num erous hospitals, and often goes herself and si ngs to the patients, as she is quite talented along that line.
Our biggest accomplishment was the benefit bridge tea with dan cing afterwards. Doris Oesting, '23, was in charge of this affair. We cleared $125 00 which we gave to St. Luke'. on the Desert , a tuberculosis hospital.
A nwnber o f lOwn Pi Phis helped with the Christmas tree and program at St. Luke's on Christmas eve. \V e have met seve ral Pi Phis who are here f o r the health of someone in th ei r families; we ca ll on them and send fl owe rs to their sick. There are six Pi Phis who teach Sunday School classes and several who sing in the choi r s of their resp ective ch ur ches. It is quite a usual thing to see the Pi Phis helping to ent e rtain and ca re f o r th e orphans on Saturday morning.
We have also various entertainments f o r th e men at Pastime Park , the gove rnmen t h osp ital f o r disabled soldiers. Pi Phi n ow has comp lete cha rg e of one w a rd and we entertain th e men in it, taking them candy, magazines and flowers. On Christmas we gave a party for them with r efreshments and a musi cal program.

WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR OUR SETT LEMENT SCHOOL
A UNIQUE Ii P OUND" SYSTEM
A lively int e r es t has been aroused in the members of our chap ter to raise m oney for the Settlement School. W e have d eci ded that each girl will earn a dollar whl c h she will give as ber jndividual contribution in additon to the chapter co ntributi o n . Different methods have been decided upon in o rd er t o earn these dollars. One of our domestic economy girls wil1 help another repair her wardrobe, several will do knitting , our French scholar will tU1Qr, several of the girls will make ham r o lls, browni es, and fudge, each of us baving promised to patronize them
THE ARROW OF 1'1 BETA PHI
In order to help ou r chapter contribution we have established a IIpound." All articles belonging to the girls that aTe left in the living-rooms are collected and placed in the "pound." In order to redeem them the owner must pay one . cent for each article. The sum collected from this will not, of course, be large but it will help. Then we inRict a fee of ten cents for leaving a light on in a room. This latter arrangement proves more effective than the Hpound."
Hoping these smaller items will count up, we have decided upon a larger plan from which we expect great results. The Saturday after our return from vacation we are going to have twelve tables of bridge. We will send an announcement to each women's fraternity o,n the Hill. Three of o ur girls will announce it in the donnitories and outside houses. Each place will be seventy·.five cents and we are quite con fident of filling them all.
The zeal with which the girls are entering into our plans makes us all sure that in a very short time we will be able to make our Settlement School contribution.

A ST. PATRICK'S DAY BRIDGE
On Saturday afternoon, Mar ch 18, Mrs . J. E. Hodgson, one of our patronesses, entertained with a bridge tea for the benefit of the II 4> Settlement School. Among the guests were our patronesses and our house chaperon, the house mothers, patronesses, and members of the other women's fraternities on the campus, non·fraternity people, and eminent persons in town.
Seven of bridge were in play. The decorations were in keeping with the St. Patrick's Day season. Green carnations were used in the living·room and dining·room. Clever bridge pads and tally cards were also used. In the center of ('ach table was a small green basket ready to receive the money (fifty cents apiece) which each guest willingly gave to help the children of the Settlement School. At the right of each player was a small green basket filled with salted almonds. About half after four the head table lini.hed its last round of four hands. The bell was rung and everyone ceased playing. I ndividual bridge scores were counted up A box of green stationery was presented as a souvenir to the player, having the highest $Cere.

SPLENDID SALE OF BA SKETS
Even in our busy year of the me m oria l campaign for th e uni"ersity and our work for a new house the Settlement has not been negl ec ted. We have been striving in every way to promote this altruistic wo rk o f the fraternity. M o re baskets hav e been sold this year than in any other previou s year, not only t o the active chap ter hut also to the atumnre The baskets have been unusually pretty and attractive. Ou r annual gift to the Settlement School has been sent. A ce rtain amount in our budget system is set aside for that purpose. Settlement School programs have been given at different fraternity meetings. Miss Bishop's letters, telling of the progress of the Sch ool, have been a source of inspiration for a greater Settlement School and a broadening of n B activities.

FINES I MPOSED FOR NOT ACTIVJT1ES
The inte rest and welfare of the Settlement School at Gatlinburg, Tenn., have a l ways been topics of great regard to I owa r, both to
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
active and alumnre members. A t our cooky-shine held at the chapter house in January. Mrs. C. F. Curtiss, one of our alumnre, gave a very interesting talk on the -School and read to us parts of a letter which she had received from there, t e lling of the very happy Christmas they had had and of the great improvement in the place and of the wonderful way in which it is expanding.
Last fall and winter we made up a box of clothing to send to members of the School. In our chapter we have a system of reporting activities for the past week at each fraternity meeting. A record is kept of these and the penalty for not performing the activities is twenty-five cents each. This money we are collecting and at the end o f tbe year will send it to the Settlement School. Tbis course of proced ure was decided upon early in the fall and all the money since that time has been kept for that purpose. A!so all money co ll ec ted for non-attendance at fraternity meetings, except of cou rse in the case of an excuse, is used for the same end. At Christmas time, we always endeavor to buy as many baskets from our alumnre as we possibly ca n and st rive to c reate a sale for them.
It is our f ervent wish and desire that any institution which is answering so noble a cause ab the Settlement Schoo l will meet with eve ry success p.ossible, and Iowa r will coopera te with and do everything for it tha t we possibly can.

A 'VAFFl, E BREAKFAST HELP S
For several years it has heen cus tomary for the girls of Nevada A to hold a waffie breakfast in the basement of the girls' dormitory, Manzanita Hall.
Posters are put up on the campus and in each fraternity house to advertise it and often breakfast is not served at the bouses' at all . The proceeds go to the Settlement School, but we usually clear only about fifteen dollars. It has always been ou r aim to increase the amount; this year we did.
Our most talented members put on several musical numbers at a local motion-picture theater. By doing this we received a per cent of that evening's proceeds, which amounted to a little m ore than fifty dollars. Twenty dollars of this money we sent to the Fellowship Fund and tbirty was added to our Settlement School Fund.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
and the mountains covered with the most gorgeous foliage imaginable. It is a wonderful picture and we can not help being glad to have had a part in building this School in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee.
The mountaineers of this section are descendents of the very early settlers, many living on the same small farms and in the same way as was common more than a century ago. They farm with the most primitive implements, and one who is used to the broad prairies of the middle west cannot see how they could use anything else on the steep hillsides. The houses are mostly built of logs o r very r ough boards and the furniture is of the simpl est; there are no conveniences of any kind and the sanitary conditions-well there a re none. The food consists of corn bread, soda biscuit, buttermilk, fried eggs and potatoes, supplemented by mustard greens and in the summe r, cabbage, tomatoes and wild fruit. A few have small apple orchards but sell most of the apples for there is good sale for them.
The people of the immediate community having been in touch with the teachers for the past ten years and the young people being in school have made rapid strides and will compare favorably with the young persons in any rural community in dress and manners. Many of the former pupils, after finishing at the Settlement School, have gone to other schools and are making successfu l teachers. The people like to have visitors and are very cordial always inviting you to stay for a meal o r over night. They may not always mean it but the invitation is given just the same. Those living uback up ove r the hollers" have few yisitors and they never fail to insist that you stay over w.ith them and you really feel that they do want you.
Pi Beta Phi has completed the tenth year of Hkeepin' school" on the Little Pigeon. From a very few pupils in an old, one-room building and much opposition ten years ago we have this year 126 pupils enrolled, a splendid school building with five rooms and a large square entrance hall-and no opposition. When you come to study these people and find them so slow to take up with anything new and slower still to do things in a different way from the way they have always been used to and which their parents have taught them, you will really see that we have done a wonderful work.
One of the most noticeable things accomplished is that this year most of the children have been very regular in attendance and have stayed in school until the close, while in other yean they have come when they felt like it and stayed ·at home when they felt like it as
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 713
the parents were not interested enough to make them come. This condition was very trying for the teachers as these pupils could not keep up with their classes and the work was very unsatisfactory. N either did the teachers have any spare time to devote to those who were behind. Tennessee has a compuls ory school law and that helped very much as long as the free school lasted and perhaps they acquired the habit of going, for the last three months of pay school the attendance has been unusually good, especially in the higher grades and the high school.
The children, even the younger ones, are frequently kept at home to grub briars and to help put in the crop. In fact, it seems someurnes as if the children had the burden of the work on their shoulders while the fathers visited the small stores to learn what was IIgoin' o n," depending upon the women and children to get in the c rop . The children who are kept out do not finish the year's work and have to remain in the same class another yea r which is very disco uraging after two o r three
Since the first of the year we have been serving lun ch for the children in the first three grades. \V e serve one hot dish and gi\'e them milk to drink and every child has gained in weight and is doing better work in schoo1. Many of the children are undernourished on account of their limited diet and bring very little lunch to school and many bring none at all. The mothers never prepare anything for them to bring, so if there is a piece of corn bread or a biscuit left from breakfast it is wrapped up in a newspaper, always a newspaper, and brought for lun ch. A few will bring a meat sandwich and two little girls brought boiled eggs one day. The chi ldren do not take readily to anything new so we have to be careful what we prepare for lunch although we do give them something new once in a while and they will soon learn to eat new things.
Just before Christmas vacation, the pupils gave The Birds' Chris/mas Carol" the first thing of the kind ever attempted. All parts were taken , but the URuggles family," made the hit of the evening. This spring they gave the operetta Boy BllIt" and it proved as great a success. This training has given confidence to the pupils in their ability to do things and has been a very helpful part of the year', work.

Tennessee. There is practically no hay, clover, wheat or oats raised in the mountains. This past winter we have paid $1.00 a bushel for co rn and from $20.00 to $46 .00 a ton for hay t o feed our horses and cows. We have been trying to buy some pigs since the first of the year but have not succeeded in getting any so far. "Thar seems to be no sich animals" at least for sale and no one ever has more than two or three . We hope to remedy this condition and have a better grade of both catt le and hogs. One r easo n the people do not rais e more than they need is because they are fifteen miles from any market and over a road that is so bad most of the time that teamsters cannot haul more than half a load so it is not worth while to raise mu c h of a c rop.
OUT School has been invited to take part in the Field Meet in Sevierville, April 7. Mr. Stuart and Miss Chew, our high school teachers, are staying over and will take the students down who are to take part. The boys have been busy practicing their athletic events for the past three weeks, and these . events will take place in the morning .
The afternoon is to be devoted to declamatory and oratorical contests . One of our freshman girls is entered in the latter. In the evening each school taking part is expected to put o n a. Hstunt." Miss Chew will take the entire "Ruggles family" and they will give the second act of The Birds' Christmas Carol. Whether we win any prize, it will be a g r eat experience for the pupils and will give them a chance to see what other schools are doing and I feel sure ou r work here will compare very favorably with that of any other school.
JENNIE NICOL
Jennie Nicol , M .D., one of our Founders, was a pioneer in the field of medicine as a profession for women, and it is most fitting that our health cent re at Gatlinburg should bear the name of this splendid woman who was preparing herself to devote her life to humanity.
While an active member of Illinois A, Jennie Nicol was a constant visitor at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Kilgor e and spent innumerable profitable hours discussing medicine with the doctor .
After graduating from Monmouth College in 1868, she attended the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania from which she r eceived the degree of doctor of medicine Upon comp leting a year
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 715
as interne in the New England Hospital, she went to Switzerland to take advanced work in the University of Zurich .
In an article which appeared in THE ARR OW for November, 1909, and in Jun e, 1917 , we find that Dr. Nicol intended "to return to Illinois to pra c ti ce, but on 'March 28, 1881 , after an illness of a f ew days she died o f meningitis . Her body was br ought back to America and li'es among the friends of her youth in Cedar Creek c hurchya rd, near Little Ro c k, TIl. Mrs. Kilgore writes of her:
JENNIE NICOL
"I knew Rachel all my life . I have called her Rac hel. That was the name by which she was known. I do not know when she took the name of Jennie but 1 think in co llege days. Her home was just two miles from my own. She was born in 1845 at Edgington , IlL, and brought up on a farm near Little York, Warren County, III. (Monmouth is the county seat.) She died March 28, 188!.
"From her letters you can see how devoted she was to her pro· fession. She loved it-she loved work. She was very thorough in
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
district school and in college . She wanted to know-no g uess work. She despised a sham-had little use for a poor student. No woman ever entered the profession with a nobler purpose. In that day you know it was not popular for a woman to enter professional life. She was determined to be the equal of her brothers in the profession. She used to say, II think we should have women physicians and I have an ambition tO'show the men what a woman can do ,' She came to Dr. Kilgore, borrowed some hooks, and' told him her desire to enter the profession. He was helpful, encouraged her to commence the study , and then to go to Philadelphia-which she did. When she went to Philadelphia, she and Dr. Kil gore wanted me to study medicine with her. And in after years when I went into doctor's office how ( wished I had-we had many a long talk about it.
liTo strangers she was cold, dignifi ed, almost exacting, but that was not her real character . She was kind and loving and helpful to othe rs and went about doing good. When my father died of cholera in 1873 she came to us when eve rybody co ns idered our home a pesthouse. 'Vh en I was stricken with the disease and no one but Dr. Kilgp re thought I could live, she came and helped him. "In fact she acted as my nurse--for we co uld get no one. Where duty called her she was faithful even at the risk of her life. So you understand I write all this to show you she succeeded where weak women would have failed. She was strong and large physically, she was strong and large intell ectua l1y, she was strong and l a rge spi ritually .
IIShe was a very earnest church worker, teaching in Sabbath School a class of young ladies and gentlemen . Her pastor thought her an excellent teacher. H e laughingly said, 'She makes them dig up Bible truth.'
f1She was not in town at our first I. C. meeting. She was very proud of her arrow and was a faithful member. I think it meant much to her-she had no real sister. She wore her J. C. pin the night she started for Philadelphia Laughingly she said, 'I wonder if they will know in the East what I. C. means.'
"Though she was disappointed in her realization of her life service for whicn she had prepared herself, yet she lives today in our hearts, an inspirati on to efficient work unto us of this generation. Strength continually has gone forth from her."

get him out. At every attempt he would say, !1 1'm aimin' to soak." When the little girls were through, they got their mop and washed the fl oo r. They said they th ought they co uld do that much in reo turn. One of them invariably scours the sinks while waiting her turn.
Opposite the bathroom are cupboards and drawers, already well stocked. Ames, Des Moines, Indianola, and Manhattan have furnished the supplies, sheets, pillow -cases, bath-towels, hand-towels, etc. When Dr. Christenbery, a Knoxville nose and throat specialist, held a clinic in the school-house more than a year ago, we had to depend entirely on the then scanty linen supply of the Teachers' co tt age , the poor teachers couldn't change their beds for several wee ks, and nearly had to let their faces dry with the wind. Now, the separate supply for the oHlce takes care of all the needs there.
The work -room, whi c h has a porcelain sink and slop sink, a long work table w.i.th c upboards above, and a three· burner oil·stove, is helping to solve the problem of a laboratory for the ' four or five high sc hool students taking scien ce. Each afternoon, except Wednesday, Mr. Stuart holds his class over there the last period in the afternoon. The simple apparatus, acids, etc ., that he uses are also useful to me, so we find it works very well to have the labor · atory equipment in common.
The furniture in the front (office) room was almost all given by the Boston club; a white enamel medicine ca binet-already full-an irrigation stand, a dressing carriage with glass top, and an office desk and chair. The doors and windows proved to be too small for the desk when it arrived, so the screen-door, door , and door ·jamb were removed and help obtained from the store to get it over the porchrailing to a corner inside.
The curtains throughout were sent by the Houst o n club, and are very pretty: coffee·colored scrim, with old rose in the waiting·room, and light blue in the others. It is hard to realize what a difference they make till they are taken down for the rooms to be cleaned.
The other fr on t room we planned to have as a waiting·room, but so far, owing to the necessity of using the fireplace for heating, in the winter-time anyone who comes to see the doctor just waits and "warms" by the fireplace in the office, but it wi)) be used oftener now in the warmer weather. The baby doll (part of the Baby Demon · .tration outfit sent by the New York club) sleeps in her basket in there,
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 721
beside a tiny grown ·up's bed with its sheets, spread, and pillows. The grown people aTe as interested in it as are the children and babies. The baby scales are at present in the office where it is warmer but they occasionally weigh wool, medicines and parcels as well as small babies. The doll shared one of her petticoats with a wee haby, and a blanket with a sick one, and her diapers are useful for little visitors.
A telephone connects the cotta,ge with Miss Evelyn's office, and saves a good deal of time, and many steps, even if it doesn't connect with the outside world.
We are both planning to have an Hopen house" to everyone around on the eighth of May, when both the Grand Council and the Settle· ment School Committee will be here, so the people may meet them , and also become familiar with the cottage itself.
Several of the doctors take turns in coming up here one Wednesday afternoon a month. And our thanks are certainly due them, for the difficulties in the way of keeping their days are almost insunnount· able, sometimes. But the people are beginning to depend on a doctor 's being here Wednesdays. Though this is just the beginning we hope that eventually those not critically ill will see a doctor in time,

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
PANHELLENIC IN NEW YORK
At the invitation of Pi Beta Phi, representatives of the various fraternities baving organizations in New York, met at the borne of Mrs. Hannan in Brooklyn in the spring of 1919. This meeting was informal but was of such a pleasant nature that it was agreed that a more formal organization of fraternity women in New York was desirable. Accordingly in October, 1920, a call was sent out for representatives of all the fraternities to meet at the home of Mrs . Scott (Delta Gamma). At this time a consitution was drawn and officers were elected. The officers come into office in accordance with the same rules as the National Panhellenic: Mrs. Maxfield, representative of Pi Beta Phi, being president; Mrs. Kimball, representative of Kappa Alpha Theta, being secretary, and Mrs. Minnie Royse Walker, Kappa Kappa Gamma, being treasurer. The executive board is formed of one representative of each fraternity. This board meets every other month during the year, transacts business and arranges for the more general meetings which shaH be as the exigencies of the case demand.
The fir st year the general meeting was a luncheon held in April at the Hotel Astor, the chairman "of the committee being Mrs. Williams of Alpha Phi. The committee entered upon the plans for this meeting somewhat fearfully and so were greatly surprised when 430 accepted our invitation. As this was our first luncheon the program of speeches took rather an introductory style.
Kappa Kappa Gamma has done its part in Panhellenie beginnings. Mrs. Maxfield reviewed the history of the organization of the Pan· heHenie, and thus spoke of the fact that the first Panhellenic Con· ference was called by Kappa Kappa Gamma and held in Boston. , Quite by chance it happened that Mrs. Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch of Phi chapter, who was the principal officer of the first Panhellenic Conference in Boston, was present at this first meeting of the N alional Panhellenic, and spoke. Mrs. Maxfield was from the Boston chapter of Pi Phi as Mrs. Simkhovitch was from Kappa at Boston University.
Also by chance it happened that Mrs. J ean Nelson Penfield (Iota chapter of Kappa and grand president from 1900 to 1902) was present at the first Panhellenic Conference in Boston, and also at this first Panhellenic meeting in New York, was the chief speaker . Her speech was: uThe Fraternity Woman and World Affairs," and
her manner of handling the subject gave a renewed feeling of re o sponsibility to all of the women present.
The first meeting of the board in the fall of 1921 was held at the home of Mrs. Williams (Alpha Phi) at which meeting two important steps were taken. Feeling that the Pan hellenic should stand particularly f o r scholarship, we decided to present a loving cup to the chapter of Adelphi College in Brooklyn, whi ch had had the highest scholarship, the chap ter receiving the cup to hold it for one year, and the chapter holding it three years in succession for scholarship, to have it permanently.
A tea which was to be a general get-together was also planned with Manning (Delta Delta) as chairman This tea was held in Brinkerhoff Theatre at Barnard College on Novem ber 19. About 400 were present. On this occasion the loving cup wa., presented to the dean of women of Adelphi representing the women of that institution . Considering the fact that the fraternity women of New York have been o rganized but one year and the very great difficulty of arousing an interest in another organization among women already burdened with various connections, the Panhellenic of Ne\v York may be considered to have a fair start toward a successful carrying out of the ideals of a woman's college fraternity.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DEANS OF WOMEN
The ninth ann ual meeting of the National A ssocia ti on o f Deans of Women was held at The Blackstone, Chicago, 111., from Febru a ry 23-25, 1922, a t which three n B deans were in attendan ce: Mr s.

It was a rathe r s tr a n ge coinc id e n ce th a t Mr s.

As a teacher, it has been a grea t joy t o m e, to see h o w ge nerally musi c students have p r og r essed in their a rt But because I have been so interested in that side o f the question I have perhaps failed to notice in h6w many cases musi c has been cas t aside t o make way for the many duties and r esponsibi l ities of life. It is a r ea l tragedy that a girl, after spending y,ars in th e s tu dy of mu sic s h ould throw away a ll the time and money devo ted t o her art because she finds

the pOSltlOn of wife, mother, and homemaker too engrossing to allow time {or the pursuance of her musical activity. This tragedy, to my mind, is one that could easily be diverted if only our young girls realized the important place music should occupy and also if 1hey could understand the possibility of systematizing their time to make place (or it.
That brings us to what I consider most important and something which should be developed still further in our educational systema mOTe adequate preparation for the duties of life . What we aTe trained. to do, we do easily and efficiently, without waste of time and without worry. To a woman well trained in the management of household affairs, the time given to the ordering or even preparing of meals and the care of the chi ldren can be reduced to a minimum, leaving ample time to rest and the study of subjects which have their effect on the general culture of the family . Therefore, girls should learn household duties prior to marriage, so as to function more easily after marriage, leaving time for cultural pursuits.
Mothers have responsibilities beyond the washing of little faces and the feeding of little mouths . They must realize their inftuence on the lives and arnl>itions of eager little souls. It is not necessary or possible that every girl who studies musi c should look forward to a public career as singer or instrumentalist; but to gather around her & group of little children, to teach them to sing, to listen and to appreciate is quite as grand a career as any woman need hunger ' for. If she has had opportunities for study herself she needs must feel the obligation to pass on the culture she has acquired to her children. It is essential that fathers and mothers should look to their own progress, that they may continue to study and develop themselves, that they may give of their best and adequately help the next generation. Even though the children be · small, parents should not be content with mediocre work on their own part. The children find their highest ideals in their parents and what they hear and learn from them fonns the very foundation for their critical discrimination and sense of taste and appreciation.
And lastly there is the joy of the work. To know you are doing your best, making the most of what is in you and what has been given you-that your life i. just as full and lovely as you can make it and to feel inside the self-respect that comes from a clear CGn·

\Vhen the privilege was given to me to write of the life and work of our dear friend it seemed so easy to tell of her lovely home life with her husband, Mr, Thomas Wellington Gaynor, and their two daughters, Rose Gaynor Faeth , our sister of Mu Delta Chap· ter, and Dorothy Gaynor Blake, until I heard in imagination "Don't tell about tell about my work" / fo r that was the spirit of this great woman.
Perhaps the greatest good to the largest number came through her teaching in the American Book Company's Summer School in Chicago, a school for music supervisors, for in this way Mrs. Gaynor's method of teaching .eginners got into the Public Schools of this country. Abroad she is recognized and loved and her song, Slumber B 0011 has been translated into many languages which makes it known and appreciated in many countries. An editorial in the St. Louis morning paper reads in part: "Mrs. Gaynor's memory is celebrated because she spoke a universal language and wrought a message which the human heart could not resist. It was the language of music and childhood. It was the message of innocence, of happiness, of dreams and mother comfort."
Dorothy Gaynor Blake, the composer's daughter, received this letter from William F, Collins, of the John Church Company: HOh, how the hearts of the millions of little children and tha t myriad of one-time little children who have grown up, will mourn with you in the loss of a mother. When your bereavemen t shall be made known to them, the laughter of the children shall cease, and hushed will be the children's music, for great will be the sorrow in their tender hearts in the pas;;ing of their beloved melody-make rthe loss of THEIR music-mother,
"And how the angelic choir of children's voices shall sing their alleluias as they crown this white-robed singer the mothe r saint of children' 5 music I

One unusual thing in co nnection with o ur ce lebrated honorary sister was that she r eceived man)' honors during her lifetime which are of t en reserved until la tfT
In \ Vebster Groves, a suburb of 51. Louis, where Mrs Gaynor made her home th e last few years, she was president of the C haminade Choral C lub, and the name was changed to The Jessie L. Gaynor Chora l Club some time before her death. She took an active interest in and attended many concer ts during the past season in spite of fail ing health, and the Mu Phi girls who sat near her sadly miss her s we et smile and kindly but authoritative cr iticisms of th e performances. She often as ked me when th e words would be sent to her to make the M u Phi Epsilon song that was p r omised when !:'he became o ur honorary sister, and it was always the same answer 1 was forced to give, " I am still trying to get a gifted Mu Phi to write some words that will match the song you will make for us."
So we ha\'e no distinctive Phi Song from th e pen of our behonurary and it remains for each of us to choose and love one to sui t her own needs from th e hundreds of this ce lebrated song writer, J ess ie L. Gaynor.

ONE OF THE MANY PRIVILEGES of being an editor o f a fraternity magazine is to receive by exch3nge the publications of the other Greek -letter o r ganizations. Hour s of pleasu r e may be spe nt in browsing through the interesting pages which tell o f the accomp li sh ments, ideals 3nd aims of the fraternity world. I t is with regret that space does not permit us to quote in TH E ARROW many of the exchange items and articles whi c h ou r readers would enjoy.
Since we cannot print them we suggest that you read the following sketches: " Home, 3 Vision and a. Promise," PI,i C hi Quarterly. February, 19 22, page 492; "Henry C. \Vallace," The November, 192 1, page 492; "Two Girls Who Own a Town,"

The last me nti oned article is exceedingly amusing and illustrates the cleverness of a fraternity man who hoodwinked an 3u(lience of intellectuals .

Approximately thirty -eight days are requir ed fr om the time the bulk of copy is sent to the publishers until the magazine is ready to be mailed. Please remember then that jf you desire manuscripts or news items to be used in ce rtain issues of THE ARROW they must rea ch Ihe editors fi\Oe weeks before the date up on which the magazine is scheduled to appear, unless of course special arrangment has been made with the editor to insert the items in the galley proof.
TO l\IISSPELL PROPER NA.\lES is cUllsidered a " high crime" of the press. Nothing disturbs an individual quite so qui c kly as to see his name misspelled in print. Will all contributors to our magazine kindly verify the names of persons, cities, rivers, etc., in material submitted for publication? Every effort is being made by the editor to verify the spelling of geographica l names but times such names are not given in availahle r eference hooks and the words must be publishtd without verification. W hen using foreign names it will help a great deal if the writer will print them , unless, of course, the article being submitted has been typewritten. 1 t is quite astonishing what peculiar shapes and forms proper names assume when written in long hand !

THE ENGAGEMENT has been announced of Lulu Helen Clark, Grand Secretary, to Paul Ingraham of Boston. The wedding will oCCur early in September.
REFERRING TO MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE (G ra ce Goodhue, Vermont A), the Christian Science !l1onitor says: "Mrs . Coolidge is one of the most popular women in the Washington official set. Her acquaintan ce is enormous, due to the virtually incessant duty incumbent upon her and the Vice - President to lunch and dine out on their country's behalf. The second lady of the land is about as far removed from the stereotyped conception -of an austere New Englander as could easily be imagined. Authorities who keep tab on such things say she knows more people by name than any other woman in Washington."
AT TH IE MEET held in Sevierville on April 7, Ethel Carr, a student in our Settlement School, won the first prize in the orato rical contest; and Estel Huff, another student of ou rs, won second place in the running jump and would have had first except for a technicality. This was the first scholastic meet in which our students had ever participated.

Ontario A received so much inspiration and help from Miss Clark that it wishes tha.t she could come 10 visit ofte n. A formal lea. in honour of Miss Clark gave her the oppo rtunity of meeting other fmternity women of the college, and Mi ss Livingstone. the Dean of Queen's Hall, university college women's r esidence. The chapter was also pleased to have at the tea, Mrs. McCo rmick, our Provin ce Pre side nt. Before Miss Clark le ft she was nn intimate friend of e::lch girl ::lnd had won the hearts of all.
Initiation was held Ilt Jean Greig's on J:lnuary 17. Ontario A feels co nfident that the six new wearers of the golden arrow will a.id ill making the chapter an influential factor in the development of the futernity. The chapter was pleased that Miss Clark was present at initiation. A cooky-shine followed after whi ch regular chapter meeting was held with the new initiates present. Miss Cb.rk gave constructive criticism and valuable advice.
Annual initiation banquet was held on February 23. in the dinner room of the King Edward Hotel. Dr. Edith Gordon. president of the alumnae club, gave a most inspiring response to the toast to our alumnae. It touched the heart of each girl very deeply, and made us realize just h ow much our alumn:Je made Our present existence possible. We were indeed sorry that Mrs. Mc Cormick was out of the city and could not attend.

This year has been a successful one, both in chapter and college life. The Province President o f Alpha. Provi nce, Mrs. R. N. McCormi ck, who has been here in Tor on to, has given invaluable assi .. tance and criticism, and has been ever ready to answer our many questions. Ontario A has rai sed money {or the Settlement School by dividing the cha.pter into six groups and h aving a race. The group that won was Jun McQ ueen's, who held a bridge at her home and cleared $15. Dr. Edith Gordon has also been in Toronto. Our Health Program has been especially interesting this year, as she has given us several helpful and much·needed health talks. Almost all the other frat e rnities entertaine d '3. Grand Officer or a visiting delegate thi s year, and many Panhellenic teas have been held 3t which representatives of o ther fraternities had the privilege of meeting the delegate The outstanding event in local Panhelleni c this year has been a change from a unanimous majority v o te to a majority vote with one dissenting voice.
At present we are making seriou. plans regarding a house for next year. Ou r alumnae are giving us their Itrongest support in our endeavours. Marie Bateman. an alumna, htls with two other Rlumn re. offered to manage our ho use party this year along By this means she hopes to raise at least $200 to go to ou r house fund.
Graduation exercises take place on June 9, when six of the strongest girls will graduate. Ontario A regret. that the college year is closi ng, because it h u been an especially pleasant and p r ofitab le one.

The annual Y. W. C. A. bazaar was the first event of the second semester in which Vermont A wu greatly interested. Muriel Long, Merna Hicks, Frances Caswell, and Ruth Cowles were chairmen of committees, and the other girls did their bit by serving on committees and making contributions. Over one hundred dollars was realized. which pays the expenses of del e gates to Camp Maqua in Maine nut June Matilda Axton is chairman o f the social se rvice committee which is establishing a recreation room in the basement of Pearsons Hall, the women's main dormitory.
Wh en mid-year m!J.rks were announced the ch!lpter was overjoyed to find that we l ed the college in scholarship. Therefore the scholarship cup is our prized possession for Ihis semester. It was offered in 1916 by President and Mrs. Thomas to the woman's group whi ch attained the high es t rank for six semesters in succession. % K has held the cup for five semesters and the neutral women for four. II B cz, is doing her utmost to make the cup hers. An alumna has promised the chapter a kitchen cabinet if it holds the cup for twO semesters more.
Initiation brought eight enthusiastic girls, whom it seems good to have really part of the chapter. Carmen \V :llker, 'II, was toastmistr ess at the initiation banquet. Merna Hicks won the recognition pin which we give to the initiate who enters with the highest scholastic standing.
In February the chapter was fortunate to have as guests Mrs. M cCormic k , Alpha Provin ce President, and Miss Clark, Grand Secretary.
Vermont A is anticipating Founders' Day, whe n it h opes to have the ple asure of entertaining Vermont B. Mrs. Hathaway, a patroness, has on:ered the use of h e r h ouse for a tea in the afternoon This will be followed by a cooky·shine and stunts at the rooms.
Commencement will be early in June as Dr. Paul Dwight Moody, our new president, is to be inaugurated. Dr. Moody was formerly associate pastor of the Madison Church of New York City .
The chapter r ooms are being redecorated owing to the generosity o f the alumna:. Dorothy Newton and Margaret Graham are in the cast of the junior play. Five of the girls belong to the English club re cently organized. Eligibility i s based on high sc h olar ship.

At a re ce nt chapler meeting the members agreed to found II. building loan fund. Each senior is to pledge herself to pay th e sum of one hundred dollars within two years after she graduates in order to nise money to build a chapter h ouse.
On February 18 We st Virginia A held th e fourth annual initiation and banquet . Five girls were initiated. Maude McNeil, the pledge who was initiated with the highest llve rage, was presented with a r uognition pin by an alumna.

This year the active members are, as a whole, younger than in former yea r sat l east they feel younger ,; the last of the charter members graduated la st year and left the others to stand on their own feet. All the girls except seven live in the house, and two of those eat at the house; they are together more now, and thi s has created a bette r sp iri t of com ra.d eship; they are more congenia l.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The most important problem thai h as come up before the local Panhellenic association this year is that 'of th e place that frat e rnities\ are to hold on the new C&mpUS. Fraterniti es are in rather a difficult position at present i n that they do not receive official recognition from the college authorities. Ac Hve chapters and a lum nae have been wotking together to obtain n statement from the President about the provision that will be made (or us.

The week before initia tio n w as a period of grea t austerity t o,,'ard th e pledges. N o "artificial aids to beauty" were allowed. Discipline was stern, but bearable. On the W ednesday initiation, the p l edges entertained th e ch apte r with a musical comedy of original composi ti o n. This is always the chief "stunt" that Columbia A exacts from her pledges. It was particularly good, severa l of the freshmen being ukelele artists.
In addition t o socia l affairs, Columbia A h as been concerned with the more serious Questions of scholarship and activi ty in college life. The chapter ha s r ece ntly passed a by-law to the Constitution, which specifies that no girl shall be initiated into the chapter unless she maintains an average of 85 per cen t in her studies. Th e chapte r is now discussing a possible system fo r keeping girls alr eady i niti ated up to thi s standard also. Co lum bia A is determined to evo lv e so me practical working sche me by which she will be insured the highe st possible scholarship from each member.
Q ne of the "active chapte r girls, Kathryn Ayres, '22, was married on February 20, to H. Jann ey Nichols. ' 20, George W ashing t on University, e .6. X Kathryn will contin ue her colle ge work until Jun e, when she will graduate.
Essie Lee Pearson, '22. will be married in Jun e to Floyd Tu ssle r, ' 19. Annapoli s. Th e exact date of the wedding is not set.
Co lumbia A is giving a tea dance on May 6, for the benefit of the Settlement Sch oo l. Ticke ts have been o n sa l e for some time and it is hoped that thi s year the chap ter will be ab le t o make a larger con tr ib uti o n t o the school th a n usual.
Columbia A has had a busy, happ y year. Ten new girls ha.ve been initiated. Since the period of membersh ip campaigning, th e ch ap ter h as given one formal dance and a tea dance. The c hap ter feels that her sc h ola rs hip ha5 been c reditabl e but will ll o w of improvement. Th e girls have bee n 3S active in coll e ge intere sts as the condi ti o ns of the university would permit. Th e {act that many o f the co llege activities are co n d u c te d at night excl ud es some girls who. under mo r e favorable conditions might make enthusiastic supporters of sports. Th e enrollment of the college has in c reas ed ove r form e r years and it is apparent that George Wa shington will have an eve r incr easi ng usefulness in the city. Sports are rapidly r eco vering the prominence which they lost during the war yurs, when everything 'Was more or l ess s us pe nded. P er haps the most important Questi on that h as occ upi ed the minds of the girls. is the one of raising th e standard of th e chapter to the highest point that it is possible to

The chapter ill trying a new plan. Every Thursday afternoon it holds a 44mo lhers' and daughters' tea." Six alumnae in the city are invited each ThursdRY to meet Rnd beco me beller -acquainted with the pledits accompanied by their sponsors. There have been two of these teas so far, which have proved enjoyable and successful. Another idea the chapter i. developing is one of having c hapter play night every Monday a!ter our bu si nes s meetings. Every girl has done her studying in the afternoon, just as if she were dating; no one dates; and all are free to play. All join in having a rollicking good time. We intend to read books together and discuss them, make popcorn and fudge and thus develop a closer friendship and a more perfec. t II "" spirit in the chapter.
Michigan A with ber patronesses, has accepted the invitation to join Mi ch · igan B in a cooky·shine to celebrate Founden' D3Y. About forty·fi.ve Pi Phis are coming from Hillsdale, and with all the Detroit and Ann Arbor alumnre, we are Anticipating a fine party.

The combined efforts of the English ana history cepnrtments have brought us many nception:ally fine lecturers, among them Dr. W. E. D odd and Percy Boynton, both of the Univenoity of Chicago. Lew Sarett, the poet, conc lu ded the English lecture course, and the Consenatory of )Iusic was able to bring the Zoellner Quartet.
Baseball is being recei\'ed with more enthusiasm than it hilS for several years past. The prospects of s good te3JD promise many victories for Millikin The dramatic club and art guild, working in conjunction, h:Jve transformed one of the art ro o ms into the Little Theatre where a series of plays have been given.
This year has been an exceedingly utisfactory one for Illinois II It was ab l e to initiate all but one of the pledges. The scholarship has been very good. Many important officts in school activities are held by Pi Phis, but the chapter is stressing this point even more. The chapter is well pleased with the house which is located ju!ot .cross the drive wesl of the campuS. \ Vith the exception of one, all out of the out-of-town girb are living at the house. The chapter is most fortunate in having Miss Lockett as chaperon again this year, although she had planned II trip abroad. House government is in the hands of a senior committee, with which the twelve house girls have coOpernted with splendid spirit.

The chapter soc ial life as a fraternity is rather limited, f o r it seems that t oo many fratern i t y fun ctions intensify the anti-fraternity fe eling. As a r es ult the policy this year has been more alNollege and fewer o rganizati o n fun c tion s. The ant i·f raternity fee ling seems somewhat lessened at present, The fraterniti es have made an effort to find the r oo t of the trouble, t o correc t fnlse impressions, lind make nn improvement within their own orgnnizationl. Mi ss Hawkins'. suggestions have been grea t help to us in this re spec t Simpson i s br oadening her scope along all lines, is extending 5Cveral departments, and at the s ame rime is making her scholarship requirements higher.
The glee clubs and the conservatory orchestra are I ta rting through the Slate on t ours which are to cover a period of two weeks. Th e orchestra co ntains many fine music ians and s hows the effect of splendid training.
The chapter i, very sorry that Mary Alexnnder, se ni o r in musi c and pianist in the orchestra, who is unusually talented , h as had to drop he r work and go ho me because of ill health.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The chapter hopes to have Dr. Mattke present for the Founders' OSf celebration. As a finale to the events of the day the chapter plans n cooky·shine with the alumna: and an evening of r ollic king fun Another and thl" biK'g1:st social event of the year is spring formal. There is only one really formal party during the entire year, and this May seems to be the month of parties, for the calendar is full. On the Saturday of Commencement week comes the alumnre breakfast for all Pi Phis in the city at that time. At this time a bracelet is presented to the best all-round freshman girl, showing the most development, being mosl scholarship. who will be dl!mocr a ti c. showing the best record for campus activities and Of course it is a maller of mu c h interest and speculation as to the next wearer of the bracelet.
One of the grutest joys of the year has been the fact that the chapter house has been refinished and redecorated from top to bott()nt. All of us have a soothed feeling every time we go into the house.
The group rankings for the first semester' show that U leads with eyeD :l greater mar&in than before The girls s.re holding their own in activities as well as in scholarship. IT has two representatives in n K .6, the honorary forensic fraternity, which held its convention here a few weeks ago, one of wh om was in inter -collegiate debate and the other of whom represent ed Simpson in oratory.

It is a matter of regret that by graduation Mi sso uri B wilt lose the valuable l eadership with which th e senior members h av e served th e chapte r. Howeve r, thi s loss will be compensated for in so me degree by the splendid initiat es who havo already entered actively into the c hapter life.
As for univ e rsity affairs, th e members of Mi sso uri B have made the influence of n B t> felt i n all th e spheres of university life. Margaret Hermann, '24. has been elected Hatchet Queen.

The ten new initiates are a very worth while addition to the chapler. During their pledge days they maintained a high standard of scholarship and proved themselves in every way truly w()rthy of the arrows which they now wear.
Margaret Potter, Thora Slade, and Mabel Jane Witt have already made for themselves names in dramatics. Besides being in other plays, these three h:ld important roles in Shaw's You Can Tell, presented by the associated students. They now have almost enough points for membership in e .A honorary dramatic fraternity.
Mary Ma.ynard was one of two candidates accepted for membership into American College Quill Club this spring. Ida. Ward and Velma Beaumont have been elected to membership in 4l '1' 0 honorary home economics fraternity. High school week, held March 13 - 18 is always one of the most important events of the college year. Representatives of high schools from all over the state gather for five days at the university where they compete in basketball :lnd various academic subjects. Younger brothers :md sisters, old high school friends, the excitement of the contesls-all combine to make this one of the m"ost enjoyable occasions of the year. The und erlying purpose of this week is to give the younger boys and girls a chance to see the university and interest them in attending here when they finish high school. On Friday afternoon ' the chapler entertained at a tea given -for the visiting girls and their chaperons.
The most outstanding change in the university this year has been the establishment of a law sch('lo1. With an excellent faculty and a large appropriation for a library, the law school will soon be on an equal footing .with the best.
Wyoming A feels that this has been a particularly successful year in every respect. Continued effort to place the chapter high in the esteem of faculty, fellow itudent's, and townspeople has met with a certain degree 'of success and of course this effort has also resulted in development within the chapter. The c hapter has been more than fortunate in having as house mother Mrs. Wright, the Anow Editor's mother, with an aiumnA., Bertha White, as chaperon , and it is largely due the '\oyal help of these two tht the goal of Wyoming A has been realized

The chapter has made some definite plans in regard to securing a chapter house or lodge for next year. On account of the scarcity of available houses on the campus and the rule which was made only last year by the faculty, allowing girls' fr!\ternities to hl!ve houses, only one women's fraternity was so fortunate as to be able to secure n house for the past year. But because of the cooperation between the alumnae and the active c hapte r, the chapter is practically assured that the fraternity hall will be replaced by a home for the coming year.

To all the students of Oregon, the phrase. "To raise the standllrds," is a familiar one. For the lsst two years there has been a serious effort made to improve the scholustic sta.ndards of the university. It ha.s meant much harder work, but all have enjoyed it. knowing that they have gained a great de3.1 more. Along with this raising of standards, the university has increased in value in many other ways. The enrollment' is which is brger than ever before. Two new buildings have been fully completed this year and are now occupied.
The Portland alumna.e club will have their annual Founders' Day banquet, tQ which Oregon .A will send ... representative. The second term initiation will be April 22. All nre anJ:ioudy waiting to put the arrow on four lovely ,irIs.
On February • 7 the chapter had its formal dance, and went through the novel experience oC not having any out-of·town guests. It proved very successful and all enjoyed the good time we had with just ourselves, nd the alumnae who could be there.

The social calendar seldom re cords luc h brilliant , affairs as the marriage of John M. Saunders. Upsilon Upsilon '919. t o Miss Avis Hughes, whi ch occ urr ed in New York C ity on January 7.
The ceremony took place ill the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ceorge Creel. Mr Creel will be remembered as War Censo r Mrs. Creel is the talented Blanche Batts, widely known to lovers of th e drama. Miss Hugh es is the dauahter of Rupert Hugbes , one of America', mOlt distinguished novelists. Her bridesmaiB was the daughter of Irvin Cobb, also Sf litnary fame. Alma Gluck sanl[ and Efrem Zimbalist. the prima donna's violinist husband. played at the wedding, which was attended by • host o f literArY, theatrical and musi· (' Ill ce lebrities.
Whether or not Brother Saunders is destined to become a literary light of the future is something which not even ouija can {oretell, but if the record he has made in the la st two years can be hailed as indicative of his futUre activity, he will be something of a. celebrity before the gray creeps into hi s hair.
His m3rriage to Miss Avis Hughes probably will do much t o start h im on the ro ad to fAme. but it was not his first entrance into the fringe of the literary spotlight. His friendships with John Masefield and Rudyard Kipling, the English pot!ts, formed while he was" Rhodes sc holar at Oxford, have' done much to fire his literary aspirations.

STICK-TO-IT-IVE-NEi;S
Have yon ever heard of stick-to-it-ive·ness? It is a characteris tic which we as college women are lax in cultivating. We are prone to drop our present playthings for those over the fence. We take a semester of Fren ch or Spanish and then desert for Social Ethics or Camp-cookery because they seem more interesting; we decide to try out for basketbaU, and then appear for practice only twice because it is too much trouble; we can't get our lesson in Law or Psychology in the usual time so abandon it to spend the evening in trivial c.onvern tion. we desert old everyda.y friends for the novelty of new acquaintances. It's simply a matter of deserting the ship.
What we need is constancy. With continual push we can accomplish anything we set out to do if we stick·to-it. But if we Bit about hither and yon there will always be those everlasting barriers to push aside.

DELTA UPSILON'S EXPANSION PROBLEM
This Board is asked the current year to report upon an old eastern endowed college in a small country town; upon a stale University in a far Western commonwealth thinly populated i upon a state school of agri c ulture , science, and commerce on the Pacific slope.
How can a homogeneous fraternity find slandards that will satisfy its ueeds
There are various answers, but one is l ufficient. It is this-that this North American civi liz.ation in whi c h we and our sons are to live will be led by the men who are trained in these institutions or in other similar to them; and it is not a question what- we would have done in ]834 with a continent ':"d a social organism such as confronted the (ounders, but what we shan do now where we are with what we have.

That was too much for me and [ had an almost unrestrainable impulse to go up to them and show them where they were wrong. I refrained, and climbed into my berth.
I lay awake for sometime boiling inside at what I considered a downright insult and then I began to think. Of course I knew that the Kappas were not snobs snd yet 1 had heard them accused of snobbishness more than once and I wondered just wh!lt foundation there was for such an acc un.tion.
[ th o ught of our own chapter and of other chapters in which I had friends and then 1 found the solution. All of the girls were the finest, kindest, mOlt human girls in the world but they were so happy and contented just being logether that they unwittingly overlooked little opportunities to be pleannt to the other girls in college.

FROM A DEAN ' S VIEWPOINT
From the viewpoint of a dean, the last National Panhel1enic meeting in Indianapolis resembled, in many respects, a college faculty meeting. After the routine bUliness of accepting reports had been co ncluded. the absorbing topic of the day became the revision of the constitution. Engaged in tbi, exciting game, &ll previous legislation was forgotten until a timely warning from our lawyer delegate reminded UI of some aIarina- in consistency which the delegatCl

From an un · prejudiced Yiewpoint and from that of one who hal acquired the habit of attending Panhellenic Conferences, it would seem that the time is ripe to place more emphasis at these biennial gatherings on the larger illuu of interest to all colleges and fraternity women, rather th&ll on revising tbe constitutiOD and discuuing numberlCII resolution. submitted (or consideration. A forward step was taken in aulhoriting a tentative program to be submitted to college Panhelleni cl. whicb wi1l include .uch topic. u vocations, a.nd otht:r topics of to women.
An on cily Panhel1eni I was made by Miss ThompsoD, and the Round Tables were interesting. We did not discuss extension or scholarship, nor how the fraternities were meeting the situations created by the tremendous influx of women student. into the universities, nor did we at council table make definite plans to promote or foster new national fraternities All tbese points were barely scratched on the surface as was the wbole lubject of soci.l customs. The benefit to all delegstes ii, .fln all, the informal meeting of different fra.ternity people wbo·tearn to know each other and discuss over a cup of tea the problems that have arisen at certain colleges and are of interest to all. It also enables the National Panhellenic delegates oftentimes to adjust delicate and difficult situation. in the interim of co nference throu&"h the intimate personal knowledge gained and from the spirit of confidence and cooperation by the contacts made at the biennial conference meetings.-MAY L.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will fly uOld Glory" al all of its chapter-houses on all patriotic occasions a, a result of action taken at its national convention at St. Louis, Mo., last spring. The Record of % A E gives the following report of the o rig in and reason for that national ruling.
Some few years lIg0, while yet in coll ege. we were impressed with the promptness and regularity with which one of the fraternit,y h o uses disp l ayed the American ftag on days when it was especial1y appropriate that it be: displayed.
That fraternity's observance in the matter of displaying the national colors brought f(lrth the favorable comment of many persons in the community. 11 :t.lways made us feel those fellows were just a little bit ahead of ODf own erowu, that they had a little finer of the fitness of things. of patriotism, if you please. and from them we took the tip, and followed suit in the mllUer.
But if there ever was" time when it was fitting f(lr our chapters to ·'show the colors" it is especially fitting now. It was at the St. Louis convention that a recommendation o( our Committee on Resolutions was adopted unanimously.
May our ninety-one active chapters. therefore, endorse by action the work at the Resolution Committee. and take the lead in their respective communities by observing the proper dilplay of the American flag on certain days.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon must not only be able to sell the fraternity a few pledges each year, but she must be able to sell S. A. E. to the entire student body, to the faculty and to the community of it illl part. A conscientious observance of such matters will do great deal to command the respect of the communities where our chapters are located.

WYOMING CHAPTER OFFERS LESSON IN GEOGRAPHV
The editor'. note in the October Cad14ulH leads to believe that there are others besides himself who may not be Bny too well acquainted with the where · abouts o f the baby chapte r of Kappa Sigma. We realite that geography is a hard subject to keep in Plind, so we feel it our duty to pre sen t a few fa cts for the general education.
In the tirst place. Wyoming is not "no rth of Colorado." Colorado is south of Wyoming. You did well to mention our mountains, for some of them equal anything Colorado or California can boast. The Grand Teton is one of the most majestic peaks in the United States-indeed. it has never been scsled. And this leads us to say that Wyoming is the top of the world nnd the rest of the United States ,lopes away from our borders. We feel especially sorry (or our easteln friends, and even our Denver friends, (or if yon were all to be cove red over by the sea, we would still be high and dry.

Our university is truly "o n the heights." nnd her graduate s who go down in the surrounding world are looked "p 10 everywhere.
I n spite of our reputation for wind. it is not our practice to "blow!' But you will iurely pardon us when you realize the things we have to blow about.
