TRAINING IN SOCIAL SERVICE AT JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
By BEATRICF, ADAMS, LouisWna A Pi Bela Phi Fell ow, 1925-1926
HAVE felt it to be a very great honor and privilege to be the holder of the Pi Beta Phi Fellowship this year and I wish to avail myself of this opportunity of expressing to the fraternity as a whole my sincere gratitude for the part which it has played in making it possible for me to continue my studies. I selected social service as the field in which to do my graduate work and am looking forward to following it in the future as a profession. The Johns Hopkins Un i versity was highly recommended to me as a training school for social workers and so I entered that institution last fall as a graduate student in social economics. As a means of acknowledging to you the appreciation which I feel for what you have done for me, I have written the foll o wing article giving in brief an account of my work for the past year, in which I trust you will be interested.
A course in social economics was introduced into the c urri cuI tm of the John s Hopkins University in the year 1919-1920 at the instigation of the Baltimore Alliance of social organizat ions . At that time several of . the social agencies in the city were holding special classes for training their workers in case work methods, but they did not feel that they were adequately equipped to give the broad and scientific preparation which it was possible for the university to offer. It is curious to note that there has never been a department of sociology at the university and that from its initiation into the university, Social Economics has been under the Department of Political Economy. The course was begun on a small sca le in the year 1919- 1920 when the university was located on its old campus in the heart of the city. It has always
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PBI
been a graduate course with instruction for two-year s tudent s and only student. who ha ve grad uated from accredited coll eges o r wh o h"ye had expe rience in soc ial work have been a dmitt ed. At the end of the second y ea r of training the master of arts degree is conferred u pon those st ud ents who have completed the course satisfactorily and who have w r itten an essay on a specia l piece of research wo rk in the field of soc ial eco nomi cs. Students who have not a bachtlor of a rt s deg r ee are not candidates for the master o f arts d egree . In orde r to maintain a high s ch o las tic standard, a very limited number are admit te d eac h year wh o are not graduates of a coll ege. In fa ct, on ly o ne st udent in the pre sent first y ea r class has not a degree, b ut she is f itted, nevertheless, in every way to benefit by the train in g offered by the co ur se.
An intere st ing f ea ture o f the present first year cl ass in social econ omi cs is the fact that not one of th e group is a re s ident of Baltimore city. Th ey are! fift ee n in numbe r and some o f th em come from very di stant parts of the world. One of the students ha s come all th e way from New Zealand, another from Roumania, and still another from Canada . The rema ining tw elve ar e from as many states in the uni on . Maryland, California, Uta h, Illinoi s, South Carolina, and Delaware are some o f the states r ep rese nt ed. T hese statistics give som e id ea of t he wide- spread interest in social work and of the position whi ch th e Johns Hopkins University holds a s a training sc h oo l for this work.
The univ er s ity has for th e last seve n years been loca ted on its new campu s in the upto wn section of the city. The buildings are of red brick and are huilt in th e co l o nial s tyl e which is typical o f Maryland archit ecture. As yet seve r al of the buildings, among them the administration and physics buildings, have n o t been erected, but plans are und e r way and it is hoped that in a short time the campus will be co mpieted. Perhaps the most attractive building n ow sta nding i" that which is used as the F a cu lty Club. It wa s forme rl y the home of the Caroll of Ca r ollton, s igner of the D eclaration of Ind ependence, and, aside from it s hi storical imp ortance , is a love ly old southtrn home.
The course of st ud y of the socia l econom ics de pa rtm ent is planned so tha t th e s tud ent will rec eive an almost equal amount o f theoretical kn owl edge and of practical training. In th e first

year she is given the opportunity of becoming familiar with the principal types o f soc ial case work, i.e. family, children's and hos pital work, but by the second year she mu st make up her mind as to which branch s h e intend s to specia lize in and from then on her COurse of study is so planned as to provide special in struction along that line and she devotes her time fo r practical work to perfecting her technique in that particular kind of social work. In addition to spec iali zing in one branch of work the seco nd year, the s tudent s e l ee t s some s ubj ec t in which she is inter es ted and d oes a piece o f co ncentrated resea rch work with it. She submits a paper at the end o f the yea r a s he r essay fo r a master 's degree

spend Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays doing field work. This plan has been adopted because, by spreading out the practical work over the week, the student is able to carry a case load uninterruptedly. Th e student finds the arrangement of part academic work and part soc ia l service work a plea sa nt one, because it gives h er a variety of inter est. and a change o f env ironme nt. Two days
are spent amid the surroundings of a modern univers ity beautifully situated in the residenti a l section of the city. The campus has many trees and is a gorgeous sight in the autumn before the leaves fall and also when the snow is on the ground. The other three days are equally int ere s ting, but they are spent in an entirely eli f ferent setting. The student has as her h ead quarters the district office of a social agency located in one of the poorer sections of the city where the worker is in close con tact with those persons who are in need . There is a very decided contrast between the univer s ity with its great open campus and the narrow drab streets of the city where poverty and dependency reside. The student finds rest in the peaceful atmosphere o f the university after a hard day in the district, and is thankful for it.
The social organizations of Baltimore co-operate with the university in its course in social economics by s upplying to the students training in practical soc ial work. The Baltim ore Family Welfare Association , the Henry Watson Children's Aid Society, and the Social Service Department of the J ohns Hopkins Hospital are all in a sense training schoo ls . The s tudent is given a period of training with each of these organizations during which time she learns the kind of work which that agency does and is given the opportunity of doing that type of case work. The Family Welfare Associati on of Baltimore .is so interested in carrying on its share of teaching the students that it appoints two workers to devote their entire time to instruct ing them. As these workers are relieved of carrying a ca se load of their own, they can give thdr undivided attention to supervising the students and to advising them a. to the best methods of doing family case work. The Baltimore Family Welfare Association is unique in this respect as it is the first organization of its kind in the country which has introduced into its program the training o f students by workers who have no other duties assigned to them. The student spends the first four months with the Family Welfare Association as family case work is the fo undati on of all case work and it is essential that she become proficient in this hefore she can undertake children's or hospital work.
At the same time that the student is recdving training of a practical nature in the social organizations, she is supplementing it by acquiring at the university theoretica1 knowledge which is
closely related to it. The academic subjects studied during the first term were: Biographies of Social Workers and Philanthropic Persons, Family Case Work, Statistics, and Public Health . These all had dir ect bearing upon the training that was being obtained through the Family Welfare Association and the information gained from them was applied in the practical work. As the r eader may be interested in knowing what a piece of family case work is, I am going to give a synopsis of one of the cases which I carried while I lVas associated with the Family Welfare Association.
The wife of a longshoreman reported at the district office that her husband had been out of work for three weeks, that she had two small children and no food in the house. She was told to ret.urn home as a worker would call to see her there. I was the worker to whom the case was assigned. I first called Social Servvice Exchange to find out if the family had ever been known to any other social agency. As it was unknown, I called that afternoon at the home and discussed the problem with the woman. I learned from her the names and addresses of her relatives and those of her husband, the church whi ch the family attended, the places where her husband had been employed, his connection with the Longshoremen 's Union, and something of the health history of the family. There was no food in the house, but the woman's mother and married sister lived next door. I interviewed them and, although they had been helping the family for some time, they agreed to provide provisions over the week-end.
On Monday morning the man reported at the district office and was given a letter to the Municipal Employment Bureau. I visited the home later in the day and found that the family was again without food. Another of the woman's sisters was seen and she promised help for several days. The woman admitted that her husband was lazy and did not want a job. While I was still at the house the man returned. He had been offered a position, but refused it on the grounds that he was suffering from a strained back and eye trouble and would not be able to pass the required physical examination. I told him that if he believed himself to be ill he would have to prove it by under-going an examination at the hospital or else go to work at once. He agreed to go for an examination. Results of this showed that he Wai

in good physical condition and capable of doing any kind of laboring work. While he searched for a job and I made every effort to find one for him, the minister 0 f the ch ur ch was called u pon to help the family for a short time. The church sent a grocery order and promised milk for a week. The man found a job and i s now providing for his family once more. In the course of the contact with the family the diet of the children was looked into as they w ere und er weight and steps were taken t o bring them up to normal.
This is by no means a perfect piece of case work, but it illustrates the type of case in which an adjustment can be made without giving any relief to the family, but by resorting in stead to the natural sources of aid namely, relatives and church.
After four months of concentrated family case work the students were transferred to the Henry \"'atson Children's Aid Society, one of Baltimore's child placing agencies, for field work. The second term at the university was entered upon with an en· tirely different cour se of study Child welfare, Nutrition, Immigration, Social Medicine, and Social Law are the subjects taught in the second tenu. They investigated boarding homes, free homes and adoption homes and placed children in them. A trip to one of the counties in Maryland with a trained worker wa s included as part of the training. County homes where the agency ha s placed dependent and neglected children were visited. It is the policy of the o rganization to make four visits annually in order to keep in touch with each of its charges and to meet new situations as they arise.
One piece of interesting work which I did while I was with the Children's Aid Society is as follows:
The school attendance officer reported a little girl, Louise, 12 years of age, to the Juvenile Court for staying away from school more than half the time. An investigation of the home brought to light the facts that the father deserted years ago, that the mother is immoral and has never shown any love for her children, that two of the children are in a Baltimore Orphanage, and that the maternal grandmother has been caring for the other two, the child in question and a small brother of five. It was learned that the grandmother, an ignorant woman of a low type, spoiled and indulged Louise allowing her to do just as she

pleased. A lth o u gh she is twelve years old, she IS only in the secon d grade at school. The case was presented to the Juve nile Court and the judge comm itted Loui se permanen tly to the ca r e of the Chi ld ren's Aid Society. It was decided to board her t emporari ly until a su itabl e free home co uld be f o und for h e r . Homes of various types were discussed and o ne was c h osen where it was th o ug ht the c hild would be m os t co nt ent. Th e boarding mother has a li tt le girl of her o wn about Louise's a ge and want ed someone to be company for her . It is poss ible th a t the boarding mother will become so attached to th e child that s h e will want e ith er t o adopt her o r give her a fr ee ho m e. If not, it will be necessary later on to find a free h ome f or her. In any even t , Louise has started to go to schoo l regularly and is learnin g what it means t o obey. She does not run in the s treet s as s h e did in her old neighborhood and no longer frequents th e mov i es every other night, nor does she read s to ri es s uch as the "Unwanted \Voman" which wa s formerly h er favorite. She is li ving the lif e of a normal healthy littl e g irl o[ twelve years of age.

When a student has spent several months with each of the social organizations mentioned above she is in a position to judge which branch of social work appeals to her most. I should like to close this article by saying that I prefer such and such a type of social work and intend to specialize in it next year. Unfortunately, I cannot do that as I have not had sufficient experience in hospital work to warrant my making a fair decision now. However, all kinds of social work are worth while, and I hardly think I could make a serious mistake in selecting anyone of them. If there ' are any Pi Phis who are interested in this work who would care to know more about it, I would consider it a pleasure at any time to give such information as they may desire.

THE ARROW-IN THE MAKING
OLUME I, Number 1 of THE ARROW of Pi Ueta Phi publi shed at Lawrence, Kansas in May, 1885 was edited by Mary . Miller and consisted of twenty pages of material bound in a blue cover. The contents of this first issue consisted of the Founding Song, an "Account of Grand Convention," an article entitled, "Public Opinion" and one, "Genesis of Kappa," Editorials, Personals, Chapter Letters and a Poem.
During the years since 1885, THE ARROW has steadi ly grown in order to keep pace with the natural growth of the fraternity. In order to publish the 13,500 copies of the last issue of the magazine, Volume XLIl, No.3, March, 1926, consisting of 270 pages, it was necessary to use six tons of paper and other materials in corresponding ly large amounts . Large trucks were needed to haul the copies to the post office. Three thousand pounds of metal are at present made up into the mailing list.
THF. ARROW, for the past three yea r s, has been printed by the Express-Courier Publishing Company of Fort Collins, Colorado, which is owned by James and George McCormick, the former being in charge of the job printing department and the latter in charge of the daily newspaper iss ued by the compa ny.
James McCormick, an experienced publisher, located in Fort Collins twenty yea r s ago and has since then been continuously engaged in the publishing business. The Forensic of Pi Kappa Delta; the Rocky Mountain Collegian; publications for the Colorado State Agricultural College, Fort Collins; for the Colorado State Teachers College, Greeley; for large oil companies of Northern Colorado; and for many other concerns are issued by the Express-Courier. Spilled Ink, biweekly student newspape r of the Fort Collins High School, which is published by this company wa s awarded the silver loving cup for the best all-around high school newspaper in the Rocky Mountain region and another cup for being the best all-around high

school newspaper in the state. The company also published the last Yearbook of Lambda Phi Delta.
TH E ARROW has right-of-way in The Express-Cou rier and is under the diret:t supen;sion uf \V. A. Berry, who is untiring in his efforts to make our fraternity magazine as perfect as possible.
It is interesting to note that THE ARROW is sent to every state in Ihe Uniled States, to Canada, Alaska, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, Central America, Germany, Guam, !\1exico, British \Vest Indies, Hawaii, Canal Zone, Africa, Cuba, Ph ilippin e Island s, Porto Rico, India, Japan, England, Scotland, France and Venezuela. Last s um mer a Pi Phi wh o was touring Germany found an ARROW for sale on a newsstand in Berlin! Evidently it had been left on a train by its owner and picked up at a railroad station.
Where would you Ihink the largest shipments of THE ARROW are sent? The mailing list shows that Cali fornia leads; Illinois is second; Ktw York, third; Indiana, fourth; Iowa, fifth; Missouri. sixth; ] 'cnnsylvania, seventh; Oklahoma, eighth; and Texas and Co lorado tie for ninth place.
That is to saY,-more Pi Phis receive ARROWS in California than in any other state.
'fhe editing and publishing of a fraternity magazine is entirely di fferent from that of a regular commerc ial magazine because o f the number of contributors concerned, Contributions for THE ARROW are sent in regularly from one hundred and fourte : n a lumnae club secretaries, seventy-one chapter corresponding scr.:retaries, national officers and numerous indiv idual s, with a conservativf" the number wl)uld exceed two hundrf>d f:lT each issue, magazine, whilh runs appro>.imately 220 to pages each issue ih on ly published Guar terly, making it to do ru s h work at four differl'llt times during the illsicad of ;,a ving the work spread OUf O\'er twelve
The promptness and r egu larity with which contributions are sent in to THE A.ROW attest the loyalty to and interest of the members of Pi Beta Phi in their national organization.

BOOK NOT£s EDIToR.-Dorothy Cleaveland, New York Gamma, has done excellent work as editor of the Book N otes Department since her appointment to Tll£ ARRow staff in 1921. Although her department covers only a few pages, it represents hours and hours of painstaking work, searching through the catalogs of new publication s and comparing the names of authors with the Pi Beta Phi catalog lists.

m ydear Pi Phis:
Have promised myself I'd write you on this trip, so here goes. Helen Pond, (St. Luke's Hospital, Tokyo, and a Red Cross overseas girl) and I left Tokyo Christmas night f o r Kobe, and left Kobe the following day for Formosa. (Tainan, in the native

lingo.) We had planned on having four days of lovely, sunny weather, but "the gods" willed it otherwise. It was cold and stormy and the ship was small and rocked terribly, so we took to our bunks and stayed. We were the only foreigners (everyone not Japanese is a foreigner here) on board, and sat at the table with the captain, purser and chief engineer and we re sho wn every courtesy possible. Had fine things to eat, everything imaginable se r ved in courses and One meal we asked for Japanese food and got it. We are both very fond of it, tho I must say I am not so keen on the raw fish as is Helen.
We stayed part of the day in Moji, (Southern Japan.) We got off and looked around. Got to Keelung on December 30, early, where the Tourist Bureau re prese ntative met us and took all our baggage and we followed him and boarded train for Taih oku, the capital of Formosa, where we arrived in an ho ur.
Taihoku is a city of 100,000 and not at all like any <;ity we have ""er seen. The Japanese have had control of Formosa for thirty years and have worked wonders. They have transformed Taihoku from a mud hole into a clean, orderly city with well laid out s treets, all paved, and there are some fine buildings. The hotel, which is run by the government, is a huge one, rather Engli sh in character, clean though chilly, and meals are very good. There is a mu se um which we thought quite wonderful with exhibits of everything found in Formosa. The building itself is one of the finest I have ever seen and the interior is all marble, the lovelies t pink and chocolate colored marble. This building would do credit to New York City. There are exhibits in it of gold, asbestos and all different minerals found in Formosa.
The dress of the savage (native Fonnosan) was of particular interest to us. It is made of hemp or coarse linen and embroidered much as the Czech or Roumanian dress is. It consists of a jacket, with or without sleeves, and the women wear trousers also, and another piece of cloth wrapped around the tro users. The men wear very little more than the jacket. Their baskets and weaving are very interesting, as are their houses, some thatched and some entirely of slate. We didn 't get to see any of their villages, except in the museum, as it rained and spoiled our plans. But we did see ,orne real savages.
THE ARROW OF PI Bl'TA PHI
The first thing w e did in Taihok u was to go shopping, of course. We wandered out alone and found th e Chinese quarter and wer e thrill e d to pieces, nei th e r o f us having ever been in China.
There were huge basket stores and we almost los t our minds a s we wander ed along. Bamboo chai r s and c ha ise lo unges for as little as five yen (about two dollars). The um bre lla s tores were very interesting . We saw umbrella s made and bo ught seve ral real gorgeou s ly painted ones for le ss than o n e doll ar gold. Th en we struck the shoe st ores and got so me darling brocaded s lippers fo r eighty cents gold.
We were as much of a curios ity to the people as they were to us, a s w e found o ut later , that we and thr ee ot he rs were th e only Americans who had bee n in Formosa f o r some time. Such sights a s we saw I The New Year season is th eir big holiday and they were surely ce leb rating. P r ocess ions o f all kinds we re headed by men beating drum s and blowing ho rn s, a nd fo ll owing thi s wierd o rches tra came men carrying hu ge trays suspended from wooden poles across thei r shoulders, and on these trays was eve ry kind of food imaginable . Wh ole pig s, split and sp r ead out a s if ali"e, were on some of thes e trays . Peop le walking along were carrying whole chickens, cooked head, feet and all. Shops on the curb , nnder the arcade, (the whole city has arcad es), were selling chicken h ead s, and entrails and other <jueer loo king things. All kinds of bound feet , the' tinie st l' te ev!!r Jeeh. Alr 'kinds o f costumes, and all kinds of head-dreJs . ' Some of the older women had gorgeous hair ornaments of jade and see d pearls.
We saw our first Chinese temple s and th ey were marvelous. Never have I seen anything more beautiful. The roofs and fronts were covered wilh magnificent dragons , birds, fl o wer s and figures of all kind s made of colored tile and such co lors! The greens, blues, rose and OI:ange were exquisite. We just r aved ove r them. The next day, December 31, we started south , as a friend in T okyo had told us to go into the inte ri o r where we would see m ost beautiful scenery and the savage vi lla ge. We left Taihoku at noon and at seven-thirty arrived in Nis ui wh ere we spent the night in a Japanese inn, and started o ut at six th e n ex t morning on a small railway for H o ri sha. o ur destination. vVe rode f or

two hours and then came the fun. We had to ride On pushcars, which are nothing more than sma ll handcars on which a bamboo Stat is placed, and over this a canopy of canvas. The seat was tied on to sticks at each corner, our baggage was put on behind and we started. Two men pushed us and they would run awhile and then jump on and ride, and so it went. \Vhen we came to hills we would go down like mad and whirl around and over rivers, 'till our hair stood 011 end, but we survived. Although it was drizzling all this time we cou ld see that the scenery wa s magnificent and far ahead of anything in Northern Formosa. After five hours of this we arrived in Horisha and finally made a sma ll boy understand that we wanted to go to a hotel. They speak a dialect there and Helen could not understand a word. The inn was darling and they were wonderful to us. Evcrytime we came in they brought tea to us and the food was the best Japanese food 1 have ever had-and s u ch a variety!
We had a bath at once-baths are the first thing in Japan and I must tell you about them. You take off your clothes and put 011 a clean cotton kimona and straw slippers (provided by the inn ) and proceed to the bath. In this one, there wa s a big square wooden, box-effect tub, lined with tin, and filled with scalding hot water. There were basins for each person. You fill yo ur basin with water from the big tub and proceed to sc rub yourself with soap. Then you rinse with water from the big tub and when rinsed, get into the big tub. That is the way all Japanese bathe. Of course we were lucky to get the first bath, as everyone after LI S mu st go in the same water, but as they always scrub themselves before they get into the big tub, they are considered clean and no one minds. In the cities everyone goes to the big bath places every day. It is s urely an in stitut ion in Japan and the bath is a common topic of conversation.
An Englishman in Taihoku had given us a card to a student in Horisha and we sent for him. He, Saito-san, came at once, and was overjoyed to speak English with us. He took us to see the chief of police at once, who gave u s to go to Musha, the savage viUage and we "got in on" hi s New Year's ce leb ration.
They had a table ( l ow of course) stretched across 2 rooms, and I've never seen so much food in all my Ii fe-fish, huge ones,

cooked whole, and every kind of fish, vegetable, fruit and concoction obtainable was on that table. We ate a few mikan (oranges) and refusing sake, departed. That evening after the most delicious Japanese meal I've ever eaten, serv ed on a little lacquer table with the prettiest bow ls and dishes of all kinds, Saito-san came over and brought a friend and his collection of butterflies. He had hundreds of them, beauties ! Formo sa is noted for them. As it was sti ll raining we gave up all hope of getting to the savage village, which was 12 mile s away, and partly uphill , so we told Saito-san we'd return to Taihoku if it was raining next day. About 7:30 a.m. he appeared, thinking we were leaving, but told us it was going to clear up, so we decided to stay and about 10:00 a.m. it did clear and was so lovely that it more than made up for all the bad weather we'd had. He took us all ove r t o the sligar factory, where brown sugar is made, thro ugh all the Chinese quarters and to his own home, where we had tea, oranges and fish. It got so warm we a lmost "passed away." The sun was very hot. The little village was in a valley, surrounded by mountains, some of the highest in Formosa, and it was certa inl y pict uresque.
Saito-san loyed it , and was so delighted t ha t it was clear so we could see the distant mountains, the tops covered with snow, and in th e tropics! The flowers were glorious. Huge trees of poinsettias! Never will I be content with a poinsettia plant again -and azaleas, hibiscus and a wonderful vine covered with purple ilowers which trailed all over our little Inn-and the fruits! Bananas taste totally unlike bananas in U. S. or even in Japan ! And the pineapples are heavenly. We just revelled in oranges, bananas, pineapples, apples, mikan and a fruit called papya (somethi ng like honey dew melon.) We bought pineapples for s ix sen each (about 3 cents) and bananas 2 cents a dozen.
We did not go to Mu s ha, the savage village, but we were fortunate in seeing some of the savages in town and they were amazed and frightened to see us "savages."
Tbe girl was as pretty as a picture--straight black eyes and brows, and pretty features. She had on an embroidered jacket, trousers and skirt, bare feet and straight black hair hanging down with a band around her head. She ran into a store and hid.
We left Horisha at six the next morning, the whole inn going down to see us off. Our maid picked out a good push car for

us (she examined all the wheels and brakes) and we got on and t h ey adjusted toP", et c., and off we started. It was too ea rly to see much, but it was not raining for which we were truly thankful. We had to get out and wa lk lip thr ee hills and by that time the sun was out and it was a glorio u s day. We enjoyed every Ininute of o ur pu s h ca r ride and I don't know that I' ve eve r seen more bea utifu l scenery. Heights and depths, sparkly g r een r ivers, interes tin g, huge palms and ferns of all kinds, bananas in profusion. co leus, and ageratum growing wild, acres of e lephan t ears and so on . Ther.! we re eight or ten cars in OUT train. \Ve WCIC t h e only foreigners, of course,- in fact very few Americans have ever been th er e.
We came str aigh t through to Taihoku that day, a rri ving at h alf past six a nd after a hot dinner felt as "good as new". We met three interesting Engli s hmen who were much pleased t o see some foreign women and we talked until very late.
The next day I ca ll ed on the American Consul and fo und him to be a typically fin e Amer ica n o f whom we ca n all be pr o ud. His wife, Mrs. Devault, was away, so he insisted on my coming back next day and bringing Helen. ,Ye went about four and s tayed more than two houTs. Mrs. Devault was c harmin g and they wer e both so natural a nd unassuming and so interested in life. It wa s a pleasure to mee t them. They have been in Taihoku only nine m on th s and love it and h ave made a place f or th emselves in th e comm unity. Their house is so attract ive, a ll the furniture having been brought from England. Mrs. Devault wouldn't let us go, we lat er found out that we and one ot h er g irl were th e only American s she had met in Form osa . W e s urely were pro ud of them and of o ur co untry fo r se lec ting suc h a cons ul. We loo ked around Taihoku th e next mo rning, trying not to o mit anything, as w e probably will nev e r see this is land again. ,Ve agreed that altho ugh it does n ' t compare with Japan in any way, it i s in a class by itself and is very int eresting and we are glad "we ca me and saw and rode" on the pu sh cars. We le ft J a nuary 6, and arrived in Moji the ninth and this afternoon have just passed through the "far famed Inl and Sea ." It 's lovely beyond description; the color of the sea, the m ountain s on each s id e and the queer fi shing vessels and ships lend a picturesque t o uch quit e unlike anything I've ever seen.
We will be in Tokyo Monday, the eleventh, and in five short months I'll be getting ready to go to Paris, spend ing some tim e in China and go ing overland on Trans-Siberian trip to Poland, where I spent six months in 1920. I'll try to tell you all about it sometime.
My best for you all.

PI PHIS IN THE PUBLIC EYE
AN AMERICAN NOVELIST
There has just appeared from the press of the Bobbs-Merrill Company. a new novel, "Elizabeth's Tower," by Margaret Weytnou th Jackson, (Michigan A, Hillsdale College), of Spencer, Indiana, who is a writer o[ many short stories and whose
\Vork is destined to hold a place of high regard in the minds of the reading American public.
According to Jessie Reid Taylor, Illinois Epsilon, Mrs. rackson's old ambition to become a writer returned to her after her marriage and she wrote a horney, interesting column for Farm Life , which attracted wide attent ion .
Says Mrs. Taylor: "t:ler poems nnd stories began to be looked for witb keen anticIpation. When her 'Katherine' stories appear ed In Farm Life, letters came to the edHors from nll paru ot: the country full of appreciation for the romance,. drama an d beauty sbe made live in the characters ot rural America. Among the charming late stories which she bas written are. 'Stars That Shi n e' pubUsbed recently In Good HOH,ekeepinv and 'Birds of a Feather', in McCall,.
"Mrs. Jackson is considered by her pubUshers to be one ot the most promising young writers in the ('OUD try. Ber first novel, 'EUzabeth'8 Tawer,' Is a romance situated in the Dakota prairies, a country with wlllcb Mrs. Jackson Is famil1a.r i and the time 18 th e eod of the nineteenth century. AU ot ber work has a steadfast American Quality. She bas the Idea that there is romance, b e auty, drama and e.ntleement 10 the much maUgned middl e west, ita towns and countryside.
Jackson does her writing at home in the midst of her famUy. not shut oU by herself from tbem_ Even when she Is writing, she
MARGARET W. JACKSON MichIgan A
has time to laugh witb ber three adorable children and their lJWe triends, in tbelr happiness. to kiss away their tears or plan aome Dew game, 0"8 the case requires. Her frtends 'run in' o ny time, too. Thls would probably drive most writers distracted, but not 'Marge'. She Is one ot those splendid ('reatures who has time tor everybod y and everything. And wben things get cr owd(;d she seems to make more time to tit aU needs."
To read the following biography written by Mrs. Jackson gives one a glimpse of her style of writing and of her ability to carry the reader into places where the writer has been and to picture with unu sual clearness her life's experiences.
My family moved to Eureka Springs in 1&04, so thot my Sister, Annie, might have the benetit ot the health springs Ulere. They found n bOUS 2 on ERst and there on Februnry II, Ifl95, I was born. It was an old house, in which my family had lived earlier, wh e n the two oldest children of the seyen were born. Afterwards, they had movl-'(l to MUlD csotn, nnd then down to Chicago, aod back to Eureka Springs, tor me. the tilth.
When r wns I wo, the family mo\'ed to Ri ch HHI, MI sso uri, where my tather bud t1 printing shop. and a d olly paper of bls own But when ( was "five the print .!hop wn s sold for a ne\Vspaper job In Chicago nnd the family went bock to the metropolis of the middle west.
}"or 8 timt' the meandering instincts of my pare n ts were cbecked. The two youngest chl1dren, lik e the two oldest, were born in the same place, while the three o'f us who came between bod aU bee n born just atter and p " ecedlng n move, not from ,house to house , but trom state to state.
Wh e n [ was six, [ wa s e n rolled in the fir st grade ot the Linn Grammar School, on Chicago's northw est side, and there I learned to read and write and somewhat, to tlgger. I was burdened with the rep. ut:atlon of a clever older brother, and two sisters who were exemplary scholars. nnd only moderately naughty. I was slovenly and lazy, snd inattentive. There was 8. -bench In the hall, where recal c itrant pupils were supposed to sit when they had become 80 difficult they could DO longer -be borne in the class room. On this bench I spent many bours In dreaming My mother vlbo visIted the school on occasion.. in the weHare ot ber tour chlldren, th e n attending it, invariably found me adorning this bench, and wa!!! not surprised that I learned 80 little.
Wben I got Into the sIxth grade, however, I teU into the hand a of a teacher who was 88 wise as a serpe n t, and harmless as a dove. Sensing my restlessness, she gave me the odd jobs I cleaned the board, collected the arithmetic papers. I bad never before been a "Teacher's pet," and the results were miraculous. I would n ot have done one tbing to disturb that teacher. I t eU that her heart would be broken 1.t I dlanppolnted her. At last I began to pick up and bring
THI( A RROW OF PI BETA PBI
home Il respectable report card. This teacher , und the one who took me through seventh nnd eighth grades w ere shining points tn my lite.
I went for a year to the old Jefferson High School, out tn Mayfair, DOW destroyed, to giv e its students to the resplendent Carl Schurz. J'll always be glad that I bad at l enst one year at Jefferson, which was a school with n c haract er all its own, und great lilac busbes in the yard .
My 1'amily. bIJwever, tLnding itself contlned to city limits, had: to do a certnln amount of moving about, and I entered the Lake View High School. on th e n orth side, for my sophomore year. I finished my higb school work tbere, under excellent teachers. T may be prejudiced , but I doubt if there Is a better secondary school, publi c or private, in the middle west, than this high school.
My success as a student, however, was not remarkable I was inclined to b e eit her th e best student in the closs or the worst. It I lik ed a subject, T s eemed. to know all about it, to abs o rb it painlessly nnd delJghtedly, But other subjects s u ch as algebrn, were 8n enigma to me and even witb effort. nev er beca me cl ear, I tinally managed to get enough algebra to graduate with co ll ege entrance requirements, but wb,at 8 logarithm is. I must co nfess, I still do not know .
My oldest brother was in Medic a l College , my two older sisters In business, by this time. My moth e r -bad lo s t the boy older than myself, and the smallest, so that we wet'C now five, Ins tend ot seven. 1 had a little brother in the grade school.
I went away to SUlsdaJe Co llege at Hillsdale, Michigan, to get some higher education, I became n member of Michigan .! chapter ot PI Beta Phi, made some wonderful frIends and had Borne scrumptious adventures During my first summer vacation, my family at last succumbed to the long late nt urge to go someplace they'd never been, and we came to Spencer, Indiana , where my fath e r became editor of Farm Life, attcr many years work on the Chicano Tribv.1I e
I went back to college the n ext year, but that tinished my schooling. At nineteen , I w ent to work at Farm ,Dife, running a multigraph machine. I studied short band and typewriting at night, and becam e the world's worst stenographer.
My ability to tnke some notes, bowever, and to patch them out with imagination got me a long co\'"eted j ob in the editorial oUlce. But] must have been cu rsed with the famUy weakness, for after a year, I went to Wilson College, Chambersburg, Ps., as secretary to the Dean, who had been my d(>aD at HLlIsdale. After a year there I went to Boston , to carve my career a..nd to see 11 I co uld find anything warlike to do to satlsty my aroused patriotic instincts. This was in 1917.
I had not reaUzed , however, in my two e asy jobs what a rotte n stenographer I was, sDd I got tired out ot four Jobs betore I found sn employer who stammered. His unfortunate handicap was my salvation, tor I was able to take his dictation , and more thaD that I told him if he would make a note on the pages, I could write his letters without

I could n ever finish staring out of the wIndow, o r while walking on the street. at the great fields, in winter or in s umm e r, in sunllght or starUgbt.
WhUe we liv ed in Brandon (almost three yeaTs), I went a number ot times on trips into North Dakota which was not tar 8\Vay. I nev er knew wb en w e had crossed the border unless I was told. I found that climatic and tarming conditions in northern North Dakotn nnd southern Manitoba., were, In many pla ces, id entical. The Dakotas had been settled longer and the towns were more substa ntial, but, except for the Turtle }[oul1tnlns, the same un ending sky nnd plains, and the same bitter winters prevniled.
I had a n eighbo r, ol d mnn, who wa s a bal! breed Indian. H e llved all al one, aod he wns inordinately tond of pie. Whenever I baked I made an extra pie for him and he would bring ba ck the clean, polisbed plate and talk to me by the hour about nis young manhood. He had been born and r eared in North Dllkota. Be knew it and all its! history. Be had been a maD grown when the state was udmitted to the union. I did not know at tbat time wby I Ustened to him so attentively, and remembered all that he told me so clearly, Even then , I believe, a story was shaping itself in my mind. A story of the North Dakot:a prairies. at the time the was admitted into the union, ot the earl I uDSlttisfaco ry da ys of state prohibition, its ettec t on various peopll! And dimly, through all that he told I conld see '8. little girl
Sbe wa s not to emerge into definite sbape and color, for some time, however. During the lost year that we were in Brand on, I henrd a man get up in church and tell me how h e had been changed from a drunkard t o a stable citizen. His story, in its .slncerity and simplicity, with the appealing de ta il about the peaches, mnde a tremendous impression on me r nter I found that his wife had had a great d eal to do with Ms reformation , had, in fact, made it an accomplished fact.
It was at this time that the little girl in my story began to be very real to me. I learned h er name, her purpose, and saw with increasing clarity, the steps whi ch would prepare her ror such an unusual victory.
My husband, at that time, was transferred to Daupbin, where he was put In cha rge of the CODlpdOY'S warehouses and big sto rage plant. My second bab.v, another girl, was two weeks old when we moved. 'I.·bat y ear at Dauphin was a wild one. I can remember it only with a sense of freezing and scorching all at once. I t was so cold in th e winter and so hot in the summe r that a person coul d never be comfortable. And mosquItoes! We used to wake up at three o'cl ock on a summer morning, when the sun rose (it had go n e down about ten) , 8Jld lie and watch the young mosquitoes wrIggle through the screen Dauphin wa s a good d e al farther north than Brandon. It was a young town, and it was near the wilderness of Northern Manitoba. We heard
wolves once, ond once, saw a moose on a country rood going sedately nnd securely to some vialt in the Riding Mountains.
We ' d bave been all right, it It hadn 't been tor the children. We enJoyed going to and the winter Sport9 were fun. My hus · band became crazy over hockey llnd has never entirely recovered. But It was hard business raising two little gi rl babies with the thermometer eIther torty below or a hundred Bnd ten nhore. It was almost out of the question to get h elp In that new country. nnd we finally decided to come bnck to the Stales.
So we came home to Indifton, again, the winter of 1923-24. My son was born on April It 192-1 and Mr. Ja ckson became nssochHcd with Lil,i, ad\'crtlRwg department.
AJI the time we were awny, 1 had bee n wriling short nrtlcles nml poems for farm papers, the t1eld with which I was familiar, and in :So\'ember ]92:::£, the fir st o r the Kath er ine stories appeared in Farnl I Ale. These stories were so popular with It'arm Li,fe ' , r en ders that, although we tried once or twice to run other stories, thp readers would have none of them. These stories ran until December 1925.
Ji'nrm £11(', howe"cr, asked me to Ilreparc 8 new serial story for them and at once the story that had been lying in my mind took defl· nlte shape and "Elizabeth's Tower" wos written.
I had located the Katherine stories In North Dakota, tor the benent or an American subscription list nnd also to satisfy my strong need s and deslro to wrile Il story sltunted in the prairies. Elizabeth Younger in all the Kotheriue stories, wns the dear friend nnd intimate or Katherine. fl er c hara cter chnrmed me and eventually I r ealized that she was the little girl in the old story that had been haunUng me.
So the new slory wus Inld in the snme e nvironment, ot on ear ly day, with which I f(>lt so tamiliur, from old Mr . Power's many reminiscences. I looked up all I could find of Dakota history. Informed my· in every way I wns abl e, considered the cl1aracte r ot the child who was so wise nnd good,-and bPgslI to write.
Mth the second writing. the new novel wa s in shope and Farm Life was delighted with it, 8m} Bobbs -Mprrill arranged to publish 1t.

Miss Hazen became interested in sc ience thr ough he r father who is a meteorologi st and in orde r to ca rry on her present work she constructs radio sets of her own and gets mo re enjoyment out of the experimental work than from just tuning in to pick up programs.
In writing of h e r work she s ay s:
I was born in Des Moin es. Iowa, bu't spent m ost o r my school days in Springfield. Misso uri , except for a few years in 1I"']o rlda. I moved to n orthern New York and entered St. Lawrence Un iversity in 1915. There I was a memb e r ot Ne w Yo rk r. Whil e in co ll ege I was a member of the Scie n ce Clu b. the BODor Court and tbe sopbomore d e bating team. My senior year I was elected. to Phi Beta Kappa . Mer graduation I came to Wasbington to take an appolntment with the Burea u of Standards . My first assignment was in the Weights and Measure Divisi on wbere I spent two y eors testing volumetric glass ware and waitin g for an oppo rtunity to be transferred to more Inter-
('Sti Dg work. Durmg this time I at tended Gcorge Washington Unl · versJty and received a Maste r 's Degree.
In 1922 I e ntered the lladi o Laboratory of the Bureau to work 00 the problem of fundam e n ta l radio sta ndard s ot frequ e ncy. It 1s th e function of the Bureau of Standards to establish and maintain fundamental stan dards f o r all the as n basis of com pari so n for Indt"ldual la bo ra t o rI es.

THE DOCTORS DICK
"If the Nobel Prize in medicine had been awarded this year," says an Associated Press dispatch of April 3, 1926, "it probably would have gone to Dr. George Dick of Chicago, who, assisted by his wife, Dr Gladys H. Dick, discovered the germ of scarlet fever and developed a cure.
"This is the opinion of some of America's most eminent physicians attending the meetings of the American Association of Immunologists and the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists."
Newspapers and magazines all over the country for the past two years have lauded the work of the Doctors Dick and it is claimed that scarlet fever has been practically conquered during the two years since their discovery was completed.
Dr. Gladys Henry Dick is a member of Nebraska B of Pi Beta Phi and received the degree of B. S. from the University of Nebraska. Later she took a four years' course at Johns Hopkins and up:m finishing it was awarded a year's internship at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
It was in the research laboratories of the Rush Medical College in Chicago that she met Dr. George Dick who was a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana and who had studied at Indiana University.
Both doctors became interested in the McCormick Institute for Contagious D iseases founded in Chicago by Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCormick as a memorial to their seven-year-o ld child who had died of scarlet fever.
Dr . George Dick took up work at the McConmick Institute while Dr. Henry was in charge of the laboratory of the Children's Memorial Hospital. While there, she became exposed and contracted scarlet fever. A fter her recovery she went to work at the McCormick Institute, and, in 1914 married Dr. Dick.
The interest in their work, begun several years before their marriage, continued. Side by side they endeavored to discover the scarlet fever germ; together they faced what seemed absolute defeat and then at last after sheer persistence and sacrifice won one of the greatest triumphs in the history of medicine.
When the ,Var came, Dr. George Dick went overseas at the
PI PHIS Ix THE EYE
head of a medical unit. Dr Gladys "carried on" at home until stricken with "flu." While she was ill all of the experiments which she was carrying on in the laboratory were ruined, making it necessary to take a fresh start and to begin from the beginning again.
After years of experimentati on the Dicks reached the conclusion that animals were not susceptible to scade t fever so they turned their attention to human experiments, s ubmitting themse lves to all possible tests and carrying on the work with the many heroic persons who vol unt eered to give themselves as "subjects."
After ten years, these two splendid workers were able to announce to the world of science that the "theory underlying the Schick test had been found to be applicable to the determ inati on of whether or not a person was immune to sca rlet fever. They had found an antitoxin with which to cause immunity to the disease and they also perfected a method of treatment for the disease. "
One article states that seven years ago the reSOurces of th e McCormick Institute were being taxed by other work and fund s could not be diverted. Dr. Dick decided to pursue his ideas on his own resources, but his research interfered with his practice and for a time it looked as though he would have to give up the search. "Then hi s wife found a position as technician in an Evanston hospital where her task s were very strenuo us, but with her sa lary s h e enab led h er husband to cont inue his research."
Efforts o f THE ARROW Editor during the past year and a half to obtain an article from Dr. Gladys Dick concerning her work have been unavailing because of the modest nature of this distinguished member of Pi Beta Phi.
In an article which appeared in Harper's Magazi". entitled "The Conquest of Scarlet Fever," Ernest Gruenig gave a splendid account of the work of the D octors Dick. In one paragraph he says: "I found them modest, reticent about their part in the epoch-making discovery which ju stly bears their name; shy at the very thought of publicity of their work in any but the approved and orthodox scientific journals." He concludes his article with the tribute to these doctors by saying : "Theirs is the ronlance of American science. They are the American Curies."
TWO CO-AUTHORS
Helen Anderson and Carolyn Hosmer Rhone, both members of Colorado B, Denver University, began to "dabble" as they call it in the writing business when they were in college together. They have won prizes in tohe same contests; have collaborated in writing pageants and both have a keen interest in the other's work.
uThe Firmament," "The Columbine Trail," and "The House of Life," a series of pageants which were presented in vVashington Park, Denver, in May of three success ive years were written by these two Col o rado Betas. Ju st this month th ey have submitted the pageants for the first time to publishers and with three publishing firms asking to examine them , the outcome seems favorable.
Helen Anderson is chairman of the Press Committee of the Denver Teacher's Club and as such has charge 0 f all pUblicity as the bond issue and so on. She is editor of Classroom Interests, the official publication of the classroom teachers of Denver. She also has charge of publications at South Carolyn I-ligh School where her work has received nationwide prominence. The School of Journalism of the University of Wisconsin recognizes her, particularly, for her work in school journalism.
Both Helen Anderson and Carolyn Hosmer taught at South High School for a number of years until Miss Hosmer married Henry W. Rhone and left the school rOOm for the Corner Cupboard, the tea room which is owned and managed by Mr. and Mrs. Rhone at Grand Lake.
Mrs. Rhone writes a weekly page in the summer for the Estes Park Trail. Last summer it was a series, "The Gwendolyn Letters," on the Grand Lake Ripple page. Next summer it will probably be "Chronicles of Chri stopher." She also does country correspondence for the Rocky Mountain News for the Grand Lake region.
This year, in the Denver Woman's Press Club Annual Contests, Helen Anderson won first prize in the short story contest with a story called, "The Town Laughed"; first prize in the
drama contest with a one-act play ca ll ed "Sugar"; and also, The Minnie Reynolds prize of twenty dollars in gold, g i ven for the bes t piece of lit erature suhm itted in the series of contests among essays, poems, plays, and sto ri es. "The Town La ug hed " captured the Minnie R ey nold s prize . .carolyn Hosmer Rhone won second in the essay contes t with "Room for th e Pudding," and, secon d in th e poe try co nt es t with "Hi gh Places."
In the annllal contest of the Colorado chapter of th e League of Am erican Pen \Vamen, Mrs. Rhone won second prize with her poem. "Rootbound," whi ch was o ne of 177 poems s ubmitted from thirty -nine different towns. This poe m is r eprod uce d in thi s iss u e o f Til E ARROW and the cover of this issue was se lected with the poem in mind.
Both of these writers have had articles in ed ucat ional joUrnals and ha ve published a few stor i es. And bot h are members of the Denve r Woman's Press Cluh , having b een elected because of lit erary ach ieveme nt s.

A MALARIA SPECIALIST
Mildred M. Moss, (Arkansas A, University of Arkansas), a public health specialist, was recently awarded a fell owship by the International Health Board and is s tudying at John s Hopkins University.
Miss Moss is an Arkansan by birth, having been born in Little Rock in 1894 and educated in schools there.
In writing of her work, she says:
I graduated trom the l J'niversity of Arkansas in ]914, wbere I was a member of Arkansas A. chapter ot Pi Beta Phi. My college major was Lotin and for the first three years afte r grndunUon I did what 1 had planned to do trom my earliest reco ll ectio ns-tn ught school. In the summer of 1918, moved I suppose by the general unrest of the wft r and a desire to do something even remotely connected with It, I took some special work in malaria diagnosis and control under the United States Public H ea lth Service and wns sent to Anniston, Alabama for work In the extrn-Cantonment zone. \Vhen this un.it was disbanded after the Arm1sttce I was transferred to the Laboratory of Malaria. Investigations ot the Public Health Service in M e mphis , Tennessee . Here I remain e d, a8l3isting In resear c h work in malaria , raiSing mosquitoes and examining blood specimens. In I returned to Little Rock as Associate Di· rector or the State Board or 'Health Laboratory, which position I still retain. As you see, the only thing in the least remarkable tn my career Is the leap from Latin to Bacteriology, n transition which astonishes me even yet.
The TnternnUonal Health Board grants fellowships each yenr to publtc bealth workers in various p OS itions tro m all over the world. My only quallticatlon, so far as I can see, was my very great need tor further study. Anyway I was granted a f ellowship the first of the year and am now taking courses in the J obns 'Hopkins School of Hy· giene and Public H ealth Administration. Aside fr om the e xceU ent op.portunity tor study and impl"O\'emcnt I think perhaps I am finding the most interesting feature of my amy h ere the contact with m en and women or different nationalities. At a dinn e r recently given tor its Fellows by tbe Rockefeller Foundation ther e were represented omong the elgbty guests f orty different countries.

It was over. The great, emotional moment bad become but a memory to th e thousands of Californians who so recenUy bad been stunned by the sudd e n passing of a sp l endid football coach. At 11 o'clock, they had strenmed trom t h eir class es in the big, white buildings against the high, green hills. '!'hey had scrnmbled up the tog-mantled htllslde with arms tuU of books Ilnd young fa tes tllled witb earnest desire to pay trIbute to n beloved leader
Th en -a nd the very sun lifted his v eil t o see-there came the thud ot drums, and the Associated Students' band wound Its way over the c rest of t h e hill , In its wake marched a long dignified procession,-regenu, fa c ulty, varsity football tenm, Big "e" Society, Skull and Keys interfraternity society, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and student body, It stowed before the white arch where a platform was plIed with fl owers. There were the usunl prayers; the usual speeches-by President 'V. W, CampbeH , by Ca l)tnin ·".rut" Imlay, h y John A. Stroud of the Alumni Association ; the usual songs by th e Glee Club and by the students. And then, at th e stroke of twelve, come the tensely awaited nirplane, fUlfilling th e d e ad coach's ret}uest, over the big bowl wh e re for fiv e 8Casons bls teams had known no defeat,
And somehow, as tbe 80 l e mn young eyes followed the disappearing speck, eve ry one t e lt that the sp irit of Andy Smith was hovering somewhere ncar; and that, with the old, tamillar, twisted grin, he would be saying tbat everything was as he hod wished.

Flagler, I o wa Theta, wh o passed away in 1922 ), made a trip t o Gat linburg and while there ob t ained splendid pho t ographs of the Settlement School and of the sce nery nea r there . Slides were made by Mr. Schantz of these view s and we re exhibited at the Charlevoix Convention in 1921.

father and son ha\'e always been exceeding ly interested and loyal Pi Phi men.
Orpheus M . Schantz, who is an eminent botanist and nature lover, made several trips into the Smokies to enjoy and study the wealth of plant life there and last year when he announced that if a group d es ired to go t o the Tennessee Mountains he would be willing to take the responsibility of managing the trip, he expected about fifteen or twenty, but instead of that the party grew to fifty-nine induding forty-nin e women, nine men and a small boy
Mr. Shantz says:
It was the first party to go down (rom the North; the l argest POllY to go to the Hutt Hotel; the .first party to drive trom Knoxville to the mountains (Gatlinburg), in busses--and we made a hit with the Knoxville and GatlLnburg people. We had three Pullman coaches aod on each coach '\ve carrie d a large placard telling who 'Ye were and where we were headed tor.
In our party 'Were two botany teachers who made a very care-. tol survey of the plant lite tor the time we had at our disposal. One of the yeung woman was told thnt it: I would h e lp ber she would be given credit for her work at the University of Chicago by Dr. Oowles, hen d of the department ()f botaDY at tbe Unh'erslty of Chicago.

dlltely staTi..ed tor an all-day trill to Cade Cove with two KnoxvJUe men.
I have seen autumn coloring in many places and in several states aDd In the hardwood region of Ontario, my native land, but I have De\'er seen anything 8UTP8.BSing the display in the Smokles. either tor gorgeous color t>tI'ect or tor "arie.y of plnnt lite that made the wonderful plcture.
BotanlcalJy and geologically the region Is wonderful and I feel sure ha s not been cnrefully covered byexl>eTLs. I hnve six trips to my credit nnd hope to go again and yet again.
A story of the trip last summer, was broadcasted in October by Mr. Schantz and the Chicago newspapers carried photographs t9 illustrate the talk. A part of this lecture may be re-written and as a part of the Year Book of the Geographic Society of Chicago if Mr. Schantz can find th e time to do it.
Mr. Shantz is a personal friend of Stephen T. Mather, National Parks Director, and it was through his personal descripti on of the Southern Appalachian possibilities that Mr. Mather became interested in the situation whi ch may result in the Smoky Mountain Park.
Orpheus M. Schantz and Worth F. Schantz are planning to take parties to the ' Smoky Mountains in May, June, July and August and even later if a sufficient number evidence a desire to go. These trips offer unusual opportunity for a visit to the Tennessee Mountains and for a glimpse of our work 011 Little Pigeon.
Mr. Schantz who is treasurer of the Board of Trustees of Schools of Chi cago may be reached at Room 1649, 10 South La Salle St., Chicago , Ill.
He has long been an outstanding figure of the Audubon Society of Illinois and is the author of many poems, one of his latest ones having appeared in a special issue of the Sentinel of ·Knoxville.

Our contribution to the Settlement School this year will appear some what smaller than usual. f or our Dlaln effort to raise mon e y Is beIng centered on a bridge party which will be given &t the WaldortAstoria on May U, and on pereonal subscriptions.

For lo m e ot the r egular meetings we have r eve rted baett to the custom of having Beveral hostess e s e ntertain at some (lne's home; tt.us we have been able to m eet in the dltterenl suburban distri ct s and h&,'e in attendance some tolks who ca nn ot come otten. Our meetings haY6 been very w e ll attended and a keen In terest shown.
One of our most successful artalrs Is the party given In Swarthmore In January for Pa. A chapter. FOr this event each alumna 18 asked t o bring a member of th e chapter as her guest, and th e r cspon8e thll yea r as usual was very graUfylng.
This year the club concent rat ed upon two eve nts tor the Sp.ttlement School contribution; the selling of Christmas cards, which netted more than $700. and the benefit Plays and Dance, which enabled us to complete our gift of $1 ,000 to the School. For th e latt er , we were able :0 obtain the services of the Play and Playen of Philadelphia, who J;ave "Pantaloon," and our own talent present'HI Rehearsal." 1.'hls occasion Is always enJoye<' by young anti "old" alike,
For Founders' Day we expect to have a l ess elaborate affair, and call it a " Luncheon." Mrs. Turnbull will be our honored guest and w e are hoping to have with us also as guests the Founder!'. 0:" Pennsylvania A chapter. The "toasts" will co nsist mainly of reminiscences ot "by-gone" days and news of oth'e r chapters.

We have been v ery tortunate In having several Intereltl ng alkl by vlaltlng PI Phla, In conju nction with our regular buainesa meetIngs. Mrs .

The soluti on ot our probl e m would seem to lIe In the smaller groups where PI Phis can beco me a cquainte d and make [rlends. This Is evidenced by the ""8ucceu of two district grouplll started this yea r ; one In Edgewater on the North elde undtlr the leadership ot Ellnoulse Kessler O'Brien, and one along the Burlington railroad. southwest, under H e len R oye r Berry. Many ot the BUrlington people live 80 fa.r out and so seldom get tnto town that this c lub Is c onsid e ring applying for a separate charter. The North Shore group, embracing Evan s ton and the North suburbs, haa flourished under Ita own organization and haa a charter pendln •.

Rather lhan see an uncompromising "No Report" In this space, I haHl e n to !lend on an account of OUf littl e club, tho the little that we have to oHer may be ot small benefit unless it be to some small group situated
Ou r Elgin Club is the outgrowth or the Fox Riv e r Valley C lub, organized some ye!L rs ago by members r esi ding In the nea.rby towns ot vur beautifu l F ox River Vali er. Originally w e met from town to town, and the broad e ning ot our PI Phi acqualntanceshlp8 proved most delightful. But, en joyable 8S the m eeti ngs were, w e found this plan was not feasible We afe like the average American woman or todayour time being dlllided between home, church, civic and c lub activities; and our diversified Interests made some other plan necessary.
'''or the past three or four years our Httle Elgin group has been meellng regularly, keeping Inta c t Its e n thusiasm and Its membership. ThIs year ou r Prov ince Presid ent, l\lrs. suggested that we cha nge our o ld cha rter to fit our n e w branch of the club and live up to the r e(lu lrements of a national club. \V e meet regularly ench month from fa.lI until spring; we are so s mall In numbers, o nl y nine, that our meetings take th e form of Inrormal supper parties. Our associations have become so choice and our fri e ndships so de ep ly rooted that our mf>etlngs a r e a ve ry real pl easu r e Indee d Qur e lection of officers I!'I r,ot ex actly a comp licat e d affair, (or In our small gr'Oup the powers of pres id e nt and sec r etaq', as well as the joys of soliciting dues are vested In on e pe r son.

Our contribution to the Settlement School Is made up by personal donations.

fri ends. She was delig hted to become a charter member of Maryland A. All du ring her college ca ree r and in th e years spe nt in Baltimore she was a diligent promote r of the Goucher chapter. In her st udent d ays she played an im po rtant part in the college 1i fc. Handsome, talented, cordia l and s ince re, she was ever in demand as a l e ad er in st uden t activiti es. An exce ll ent mind and pride in h Cl· sc holas ti c reco rd, attained f o r her a high rating in all her classes. Pl'Of essors and cla ss mates alike r es pected her ability and her attitude toward her work. But her greatest tal ent lay in the fi eld a f mu sic She played the pipe-organ and piano exce pti o nally we ll and severa l s tringed in s trum ents a lso. I-leT bea utiful voice was not only the prid e of the Pi Phis, but of the Co ll ege and the Peabody Co nse rvato ry as well. When s he graduated from the latter in both organ and voice, he r teach e r prophesie,l f or her a Metropolitan Opera ca r ee r if s he would go to New York and study. Sylvia wa s offer ed an excellent pos iti on as teac her o f voice at the co nse rva tory, and this posit i on she he ld IIlItil tw o years later when she marri ed Mr. Charles Ireland o[ Balt im o r e.
In th e autumn of 1906 th ey left Baltimore [or Seattie, wh ere Mr. Ireland went int o the real estate bu sines s . S'ylvia re n ewed th ere h e r Goucher fri endships with Florence Denny Heliker and Roberta Frye Watt, and became great ly intere st ed in th e act i ve Pi Phi chapter of the Un iver si t y of Wa shingt on .

P';TRUNK£\,ITCH, MRS. A. ( \VANDA HARTSUORN). Alumnae of Goucher College and friends of Maryland A were grieved to learn in February of the death of Wanda Hartshorn Petrunkevitch. a memb er of the class of '98, and one of the charter n1elllbers of the Pi Phi chapter here. In 1896, when a group of II B <I> alul11nae resident in 13altimore, decided to organize a chapter at GOllcher, Wanda was especially rccommended by the faculty 011 account of her excellence in scholarsh ip, and when, in February of Ib'97 , the new chapter was initiated, they were pr o ud to J1umher h r among the seven charter-tnembers.
Throughout the fOllr years of college her ability was recogl1i l.c d , but in the senior year she was brought into especial prominellcc through her election to the office of class-poet. From thi s time on it was apparent to everyone who observed her work that her gi ft in writing was exceptional. lIer college course was crowlled by the honor of Phi Beta Kappa, and by her appointment as the first alumna fellow in 1898. She pursued her studies at the Uni vcrsities of Berlin and Freiburg until 1900, at which time she met Dr. Petrunkevitch. They were married in London in 1903. A short time after this th ey came to America and settled in New Haven, Conn., where Dr. Petrunkevitch took up his work as professor of Zoology at Yale University.

Wanda was an ideal home-maker, and yet she always found tirne for her chosen vocation of writing. She contributed articles to The Outlook; stor ies to Harper's _'I!f onth/y, The Delineator, and l¥oman's Hotne Companion; and poe1ns to Harper's M01lth[y, Lippincott's, M cCl«re's, The Smart Set, The Outlook and Poetry , It remained, however, for the last two years of Wanda's life to show how truly versatile she was. During the winter of 1924 she went to New York with her sixteen-year o ld daughter, Wanda, to study art at The Grand Central Art School. Here her talent a s an artist soon won recognition, and caused her instructors to wonder that she had not devoted her life to painting, It was sad, indeed, that this congenial work was brought to an end just a year and a half after its beginning. Wanda's health sudden ly failed, and after a brief illness, she died in New York City, Jan. 31; 1926. Her husband and her two daughters, Anya and Wanda, s urvi ve. her.

AGNES MILLER TURNER (M rs. J. R.), .1 : 458 Rodney Ave., Portland, Ore. =
T has often been said that there are some things in this world that go on forever, or at least are sllining examples of perpetual motion. .,\fter eight months at the helm of the Weaving at Gatlinburg. I am inclined to think that it is one of the things slx>ken of so favorably, or unfavorably, as you will.
The march of the weavers toward the Te>chers' Cottage be· gins almost before dawn in the winter, when the days are short, and ends when darkness falls. If the women can't come themselves, they send their children with the demand, "Tell the weaving teacher mama is having trouble with her 100m and to please come and help her." Such requests take me a mile lip this creek, two miles tip another creek to littl e cr ud e two and three room houses, where the loom is as much a part of the furniture of th e living room as th e bed is, and where I am greeted by the thump, thump of the 100m and a cheerful "take a cheear and set by the fire."
Winter is the weaving time-as soon as spr ing COmes and it is time to put in the H crap," the women !lave to help plant and Ihen later to hoe the corn and potato,., the chief (arm prOducts raised around here. r\ mountain woman's life is a hard one with each day and hour filled 10 overflowing with work . It is not at all uncommon for a woman who has frol11 four to seven chi ldren to care for to weave three and sometimes five guest to we ls in a day.
One tired, sad l ooking littl e w oman and her young d aughte r c:tme to see me early one cold morning this winter. They had walked five miles with their hopes hi gh to learn to weave. Th e woman's errand was told to me in these words. u!'ve worked hard a ll my Ii fe. I started to hoe corn and ' tater s when I wa s a little 'un and I been hoeing ever since. I've had nine children, seven are

living and two are dead. I've lived in the same holler for twenty years-sometimes I think I'd like a sight to change. When I heerd of this weaving I just thought I'd quit working in the field and let the young 'un do hit . I'm forty-four year old and I'm tired, so I aim to work inside now:'
About three o'clock in the afternoon after she had made her first forty yard warp, she turned to her daughter and said "Sally, hand me a chaw of 'baccer. I haint had nary all day ." Then to me, "I jist caint get along without hit. I had dyspepsy onct and the doctor told Ille baccer wa s good for hit. I been chawing ever since I could walk."
For some women like this one weaving is emancipation from tending the crop; for others the money it brings means new shoes, a new dress for one of the children, a poke of meal for the family Or a new and coveted piece of furniture. One energetic woman has built an attractive modern h ome with the proceeds from her weaving. An industry of such economic value to the community at large needs recognition and s up port.
At present there are thirty homes in and arouhd Gatlinburg where there are looms, with some homes having two ' and three. There w ou ld be many more if we could guarantee a market for their weaving-the past year we have only taken a part of what they would have been able to do. This means, o f course, that an enormous amount of weaving is brought for us to buy. besides wh at they se ll through other agencies. When one cons id ers that they weave a forty or sixty yard warp at one t im e and each woman weaves from two to five warps in a winter, it is no wonder that our supply of towels, to say nothing of o ur other things, jllst grows, like "Topsy" did.
On the days when the cooking and sewing class for the women is held we are always busy as they all bring a little newspaperwrapped bundle of weaving, six towels in one lot, a dozen in another one, their work s in ce the last meeting.
'fhey are eager for new patterns and easier ways of doing things and are very responsive to any s uggestions for improvement. It is a rare privilege and pleasure to work with them
To the schoo l g irl s weaving is not a subject of such vital importance. It is a bit difficult and takes rather more patience than
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
the avel"age adolescent girl is willing to expend. Somet ime s a respon s i ve chord is struck, as in the case of a bright Courteenyear-o ld girl in the class when she finished weaving her first guest towel. She sa id to me with great pride , "I paid for thi s with my o wn money and I am going to put it in a little trunk where I am keeping the things J make all by myself . I have a littl e bag in it nod now this toweL·'
The com munity and the school are not the only places by any mean s where weaving is popular. The teacher s and workers are smitten by the same strange malady. The bigger the better, is their motto. The.y certa inly are ambitiou s . Looms grace their bed rooms and when all the extra space in them was taken up one loom was put in the attic of the Stuart Cottage. They are individual, too . Miss Evelyn ha s made a pink and white blanket f o r her adored niece 's bed. Mrs. Dowell specializes in scarfs; Helen Barret and Marion Folsom made dresses for them se lves, Barbara Dewell is making sixteen yards of linen material a yard wide. Maggie White is the exception that proves the rule for nothing can induce h er to w eave. Neither ha s Mr. JIIattil escaped the furore. He makes shuttles for hi s co-workers and even is drafted into the se rvice of setting up looms . So it goes-sca rfs, towels and dresses are dashed up in an evening and each claims that she thoroughly enjoys doing it, even after teaching all day. No, 1 haven't a loom here. I never have time to weave.
It is inter esting to weave at a loom, as I do occasionally in one home, and have the girl at the o ther loom in the room sing ballads for me . It is interesting, too, to teach the father of the family to weave so he can employ his time to advantage when it is too rainy to c;lrpen ter . It is interes ting to talk over 10cal hi story or ask "How is the baby today" ' and, "Have you planted your Rower seeds yet." It is a satisfaction to like your work.
I think I can truthfully, and with a loud voice, say that weaving has been the most popular indoor sport in Gatlinburg this winter.

ell" were all over seventy, and the problem of just what to do to better the situation remained unsolved; then it was decided to try having a resident course of nine lessons, covering a period of three days for about half a dozen women,- ·if possible, one from each creek or community, and having them stay in the Girls' Dormitory which was then vacant.
The two doctors concerned recommended several whom they considered young, active and intelligent enough to do good work, and they were visited. Most had some reason for not coming. and since it was a great innovation we made all preparations necessary without the least idea that anyone would come .
. Monday morning was cold and rainy, and about the time we decided to do some other work, one very skeptical but determined woman came. Like the minister who went on with his sermon though his audience consisted of only one man, we proceeded with the day's program, and though the pupil was not exactly satisfied she decided to stick it out another day. As we wel'e proceeding with the second day's program, the weather having cleared, two sisters drove up, so we had a synopsis of the first day, and continued. Each doctor devoted an afternoon to lecturing on some phase of the work, and here the questions asked, and the interest shown, was evidence that they were beginning to feci it was worth while. Before leaving, late the third afternoon, they admitted that they had been advised not to co me, as all their friends claimed there was some trap about it to catch them for having "waited on" some cases, having been reassured by the doctor they knew, whom in each instance they had made a special trip to see, they decided to risk it, and all three assured u s they considered it well worth coming for.
All three wo men are unusually fine,--outstanding in their particular community, ,vith a calm dignity and intelligence that we all admired and envied. They were given the State certificate, which gives them a better standing, and we hope that this course can be a yearly event.

·'Elizabeth's Tower," by Margaret Weymouth Jackson, !\[ichigan A. is just off the press of Babbs-Merrill Co. , Jndianapoli,> ,
In this charming no vel Mrs . Jackson has done for North Dakota what Owen \Vister did for Wyon1ing in writing uThe '-irginian.'· She has skillfully woven a story of character building and romance into an historical background and with an artist's touch has painted vivid pictures of tife in North Dakota in the early nineties.
After reading the sketch of Margaret Jackson's life which appears elsewhere in this issue of TH£ ARROW, the reader is able more fully to appreciate the story of Elizabeth with the realization that the author herself loved the great wheat fields, the big stretches of prairie and the great out of doors described in "Elizabeth's Tower ."
The story concerns the life and adventures of a little orphan girt who made her home with an aunt and uncle on a wheat farm in North Dakota ;md later made her way in a small frontier town. \\,ith remarkahle force of character she became "A tower of strength,-the "ery embodiment of courage," with all the "weak and broken crawling to this tower , escaping from their enemies, running to her for strength."
In this, her first novel, Margaret Jackson portrays a realism that appeals to the interest of the reader-that carries her into the story and makes her experience the enlotions of the characters. With a simple, direct style she forcefully portrays the cr uelties of fate and the drab realities of life , but through it a ll there is a Rush of romance, a g low of hope and courage reRected from the tower built of "great blocks and mas ses of torn su a sd'

which "illumine the sky, a high place of rosy clouds, with bulwarks and a turret, and on the crown a bright li ght, a s lantin g beam of sunlight striking upward from beyond the rim of the world, piercing the turret with a golden ray."
So interested does the reader become in the affairs of Elizabeth, Aunt Jane, Annie Smail, Ole, Jim Younger and the others, that she is eager to read straight all to the end without interruption, which is as great a proof of the success of a book as anything can be.

As a result ot: the 'Var, tbe universltlee have 8uffered considerably With tb e financial breakdown and rulD or the country, the acbools have been hard bit. Tht're has been no money to buy either books or equJp· ment. wblle ordinary addltiODs to the universIty bave been ent1re1y dispensed with. The curtailment of the supply of books has Dot handt<'8.pped the libraries 80 severely, however, since a law in Germany pro\'ides that two copies ot: e,'ery book printed must be sent to each German univers ity library. The important n e w foreign books and perlodl· cals have been barred by lhelr cost, and their abSf'oce keenly felt by the students.

LlnXG JIISTORY
.\bout th£' hardest thing tor the a\'crage human being to realize 18 that he is Ul"lng in history. 1t was on the We-stern Front in l01 Xo\'ember 11. Several bundred thousnnd artlJlerymen, to say nothing of a lew million doughboys. were doing their best to tire the last shot of what was becoming a "Iate" wnr.
lJ8ying down hl8 smoking rifle on(' of the doughhoys turned to his huddy and smiled suddenly :
"By g()(lfr ey," he said boarsely. "thls thing Is going to get in my kld's history book."
It was his miracle of the Arml.'3tice, and it tOok An Armistice to make him renll:7.e that, after all, he had 8 part In history.
So it is, in a smaller way, with the a \' erage undergraduate. Be likes to wander about the gymn looking at the funny old boys with wblskers who pitched for the varsity Imck In '8:>, but he doesn't reaUze that some day somebody wili be looking at the funny old felloW wbo played second base 'way back there in '2:>.
The Miami chapter l('tt(>r In this issue tells about the attempt of at least one Delta U chapter to make Its own record. 1t Is stArting this year n book or clippings dculfng with the activities of its members Rnd or the c hapter. JUany or those cUppings are going to make Interesting readings for the undergraduate in 20'>-5.
Other chapters have books of cllppings; stlll otbers have remark· able collections of photographs, but the majority neglect the pleasant task of writing tbeir own htstories-or else bury btstory away in the files or chapter minutes. They are not only making it harder tor the future hist(Jl"lnn of DeUa U. but they nre cheating the undergraduates of the next generations ot something that should by rights be theirs. -Delta Up,t10ft, Quarterly via Banta', Greek.

A r a Q"arterlv. has nn inte r esti ng co ntributed a rticle , upou " A cademic Cost ume:' Iu part it says:
Th e c ustom ot wearing aenderule gowns, c aps und hoods dates back to about the tweltt h century. ]n France where the degree sy st e m prob· ably had It"! incepti o n, the wearing of the cap and gown marked. the formal ndDllssloJi ot the " lic" lltiate" to the body ot musters, and wa s
usually followed by some festivity. The cold buUdlngs ot medieval times in which masters were obliged to teach, requlred capes and hoods which naturalJy were patterned after the long nowlng robe, the prevallLng dress ot the Urnes. Doring this p e riod the dress of trlars and nuns became ftxed and since the scholars were usually clerIcs their robes differed little trom those worn by other church orders. Grad· ually speclal torms were set aside tor the university bodies and In modified style are the costumes worD today. Hoods were originally fashioned. after the monks' cowls and like th em attached to the gown and drawn over the bead. r...ater, when the hood was displaced by the cap 8S a head covering, It was made separate, sometimes with a border ot color. In Its present form the hood ls the most significant and certainly the most interesting part ot the academic costume. The mortarboard is an evolution of the skull cap worn by the ecclesiastics over th e tODsured head. The pointed shape whIch it late r assumed. de\'eloped into the mod e rn tassel.
Caps and gowns bave been used in this country from colonIal times. ColumbIa University, or King's College as it was then known, at an early date adopted a local code. Xew York UniversIty, University of Penn sy lvania and olliers also had codes tn force before 1880. A few ,"ears later a student mo\'ement favoring the use of academic costnmes bego..n. PresIdents (Lnd trustees became interested and encouraged it. The Yale (.'Orporntion WllS one of the first governing bodies to be gowned, but the faculty of Uilcvllrd was not supplied until the two hundred and fifti e th anniverSftry tn 1886 although Columbia and other universities had gowned their faculties at an earlier date. The democratic appeal in clotbing oll aUke in an outward equal fellowship, the improvement in the genernl elTect of university functions, and the increased interest aroused in acndemic ceremonies as a result of tbe practice brougbt about the rapid adoption of the CGStume .-2'he AQwla of Phi Mu.

Dear Pi Beta Phis:
I want to thank the Fraternity for the many expressions of love and sympathy which were sent to me when my precious mother passed away. I have always lelt that it was because of her willingness to take care of my family, that I have been able to serve Pi Beta Phi. Without her help and interest I could not have had that privilege.
