I rSTAI.LATION OF INDIANA DELTA
Happy New Year and many happy future years to Indiana Delta ,
of Pi Deta Phi, installed January first, at Purdue University, l.aFayette, Indiana. Never has a new chapter been given a morc ('o rdial welcome by its neighboring chapters. Every chap ter in Delta Province was represented and Indiana Pi Phis, long noted for their fraternity loyalty and enthusiasm, made a real state celebration of this installation.
To the broad vision and untiring efforts of Verna \Veaver , ingttm A, who takes a degree from Purdue this year, the fraternjty, for th e second time, owes a new chap ter In 1917, Oregon B was <;ponsored by Miss \V eaver and installed at her home in Portland, Oregon.
The installation services were arranged and conducted by the Grand President, Anna Lytle Tannal'lill, assisted hy Nina Harris Allen, Alumn:e Edjtor, Edith Carpenter, Cataloguer. Ethelwyn l1elta Province President, and Miriam Deming, retiring Delta Province President.
'V ith the exception of the banquet and the two lun c heons, giyen by alumnre and patronesses, all events took place at the chapte r hou"ie, which has been the home of 6. P since its founding. 1\[any beautiful gifts, Howers and courtesies from fraternities and friends ceived by the new chap ter. All the visitON were entertained at the rllapter house and greatly appreciated the generou!'i hospitality and housekeeping efficiency of their charming hostesses and their chaperon, Kate Stewart, Indiana B. •
Three days were filled with the usual schedule incident to the installation of a new c hapter. The interpretation of fraternity memhership and responsibilities given by the Grflllo President will always be an inspiration, not only to the cha rter members of Indiana 4, hut to all the Pi Phis who shared in the services.

• Following the installation, seventy-live members of II B dintd, New Year's night, in the College Inn of Hotel Fowler_ While the largest delellations were from Indiana chapter., the roll call brought responses from chapters from Vermont to Washington and other distant states. During the serving of the banquet, Faith Otten, a sophomore of Indiana t;., sang and several members of the Purdue University faculty, in compliment to the new chapter, gave a classical musical program.
Although without it was mild , muddy and rainy, the toast program transporttd the entire company to a climate fitting the calendar date and the toastmistress, Jessie Christian Brown, a charter member of Indiana r , was fully equal to the exigencies of the trip.
Carol Meiks, Indiana A, started the "Jingle Bells," and Gay Case, Indiana 4, led OD IIAcross the Snow." Doris Geile, Indiana B, helped uRing.in the New." '.'Snow FIWTies" and "Rolling Snow Balls" were described by Avenella Klepinger, Indiana t;. alumna, and Ruth Clark Prentice, New York A, president of the La Fayette alumn", club. Gertrude Hunter, Indiana r, brought the figurative journey to an end, "Snow-bound." Infonnal talks of visiting officers closed the program.
As the installation took place during the Christmas recess, the formal reception, presenting the new II B chapter to the faculty and students of Purdue University, was held a week after the installation, the afternoon and evening of January sixth, in Colonial Hall. Any Onken, Grand Secretary, visittd the chapter at that time, conducted the pledging of their freshmen and attended the reception as the official representative of the national fraternity.

The state accepted from John Purdue and other citizens of Tippecanoe County many large donations. Purdue University is also a beneficiary of four acts of Congress, known respectively as the Hatch, Morrill , Adams and Nelson acts .
Purdue University is located on a campus of forty a cres with addi· tional g r o unds and farm l ands to the tota l of 692 acres. The campus is arti fi cia lly laid out in a beautiful arrangemen t of trees, flowers, hedges, shrubs, walks and drives. There are forty-six huildings c n th e cam l us and g ro unds.
The university g rants t he following degrees: Bachelor of S c ien ce . Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Chemical Engineering, Elect ri cal Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Pharmacy and Phanna ce u tica l Chemis tr y. In the year 1919·1920 t he university faculty consisted of 202 men and 18 women. The enrollment of students numbered 2, 500 men and 300 women.

HISTORY OF DELTA RHO, NOW INDIANA DELTA OF PI BETA PHI
Delta Rho, as a local fraterniry, was organized on December 14, and was officially recognized by the faculty in May, 1916, with fifteen charter members. During the first year of its existence a closer and stronger organization was effected through the continuous and concentrated efforts of every member. The present Women's Panhe11enic Council of Purdue U niversi ty was organized in that year by t. P, K A ® and M::l A (now K K r).
During the second year; strength in outside activities increased and developed . Since that time, equal stress has been placed upon the strength of the organization in it. inner workings and upon the campus.
Early in the fall of 1919, the organization determined, after due and careful deliberation, to place a petition for a charter grant with IT Definite negotiations began at once. During the school year 1919-1920 a great many active and 31umn", Pi Beta Phis from various parts of the state, as well as elsewhere, visited us. Among these were Mrs. Nickerson, Grand Vice-president, and Miss Miriam D"eming, at that time President of Delta Proviaee. Everyone who visited the chapter extended her enthusiastic support to the group.
In May of 1920, each chapter in Delta province was invited by the group at Purdue to s.end one representative to a week-end houseparty. This served as a means of getting acquainted, of investigating the situation and of providing an opportunity for hearty approval by the active chapters.
The group at Purdue was also very greatly aided by the advice and help of the members of the La Fayette Alumn", Club.
The period of anticipation and expectation as well as of earnest endeavor in preparation, terminated on December 18, 1920, when the joyous news of the charter grant was received. Immediate preparations were made for installation whieh took place just two weeks later, January I, 1921.
The chapter considered itself extremely fortunate in having the following officers participating in the installation festivities: Mrs. Ann. Lytle Tannahill, Grand President; Mrs. Nina Harris Allen, Alumn., Editor; Miss Edith L. Carpenter, Cataloguer; and Miss Ethelwyn Miller, Proviace President.

CONVENTION SONG, 1921
By HELEN L. WITllEIt, Pennsylwnia r, '19
*(Aa-Tlli M. Liltll Gypsy-from ZieC£eld Follies of 19:10)
Listen, Pi Phis, do you hear the summons Sounding forth anew to you to-day?
ChaIlevoix the Beautiful is calling, Do not say that you cannot obey. Pi Phi calls to you, " Say that you'll be true.
ChorwrHearken, all )!OU Pi Phis, to the call that comes to you; Rally all around the standard of the wine and blue; Hasten to convention if to Pi Phi you'd be true For there may be other frats in the world, But it's Pi Phi for you.
Keys or kites or anchors may hold others, Arrows in our hearts shall always reign. Old Pi Phi is asking for your allegiance; Surely she must never ask jn vain. Hear the summons, do, As it comes to you.

A MESSAGE TO MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
To all who have been privileged to atte nd Convention have com e th e thrills and excitement, the in sp irati o n of .the session the good times and fri e ndship.
But have you ever thou ght whal an added meaning it would have for Mother and Daught e r to attend toge ther? Have you thought of the wonderful privilege of having mutual friendship and of belong ing to an organization wher e there were no boundaries of age j where both ),oung and mature wom en mingle with a common interest, · all working with one obj ec t, whi c h is service and loyalty to the ideals of ou r fraternity.
To you , Mothers and Daughters in Pi Beta Ph;, we urge that you plan to attend the 19 2 1 Convention at Cha rl evob:, we have tried it and know that what we say is tru e.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
A WORD TO INITIATES
. Convention I Just what does that word signify to most of us? Possibly the gathering together of Pi Phis from each chapter for dry business meetings, or maybe merely a pleasure trip. But to one who has attended a convention the word signifies a deeper feeling. We call it "Inspiration. U
Imag ine Charlevoix Inn converted into a large fraternity house and many Pi Phis from all over the country living there for a week. An experience such as that cannot but broaden our vision. Pi Beta Phi is no longer a group oJ girls confined to one col\eie but means an organization comprising the N crth, Soutb, East, and We st. And with this broader visi on comes a deeper conception of what our Fraterrtity means.
One convention session alone acquaints us with the workings of the organization better than many hours spent in study. Ahove al\ we can readily catch the spirit of Pi B eta Phi, the indescribable something which makes the Fraternity what it is.
-At the end of my freshman year at col\ege being then a duly initiated member of our loved Pi Beta Phi I went to convention. I'll admit my knowledge of . fraternity was slight-I had really been a wearer of the arrow for only a few weeks. But what I gained at . Charlevoix I never cou ld have gained in three years' activities on the campus. The Scholarship Symposium gave me a realization that our Fraternity thought work honorable. The discussion of able war work and of the Settlement School showed me the breadth of our interests. Then, too, there was manifest that feeling of fel\owship whi ch means so much to the girls gathered at Convention. Last but not least I'd mention the friendship. with the leaders of Pi Beta Phi. It was they who inspired the undergraduate, with the inspiration which remains.
• Many times since I have looked back upon that happy week, and it was so pleasant, and so helpful, that I am hoping to be "among those present" again this year. Here's to the success of the Charlevoix Convention of 1921, and here's hoping that many newly-initiated members may be in attendance.

WHERE IS SHE?
By WELTHY HONSINGER
The wrlter of the following article is better known to our undergraduate. than are mo.t of our listcrs cDiaged in foreign service as .he addressed maD" student audiences durin&, 1911}-3O and "'II one of the most popular speaker. on the program of the Student Volunteer Conference in De. Moines lut winter.
During her college days and the year. immediately following her graduation trom Syracuse University, MilS Honsinger had no thQught of foreign mission. as a profe.sion but was a tcacher oC Janguages and a student of voice culture with. talent so great that her teachers urged ber to study lor Grand Opera. Her life in China at first, differed little from that of the average foreign missioDUY -then came a lrightfu} conR.vation destroying Baldwin School in Nanchaog wllere she was loc4ted-and the rest of the story is best told in her own words. "1 rushed home to America. made 46S speeches, raised money, equipment and faculty and returned to build. I built for ODe and. a half ye;r5. I wi l h I could tell the wbole story of the difficulties I met and the fun I had in surmounting them.
With hundreds of coolies working daily to fill in ponds and Jevel the earth, [ kept myself in fine physical condition racing from c1ass room to building operations, and meanwhile [ wu buying brick.••. There was scarcely a moment during all the years of building when either lIien Tang (my Chinese assistant) or I was not on the spot. And what we learned about mixing concrete; how to make fireplaces that do not smoke; how to lay Ooor beams and Boors. We learned many things beside. One Chinese man said that by knowing just when to change my mind 1 couk! manage contractors and workmen without strikes.
After completing five buildings, I CIUlle bome and did war work for the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. Going over to France the fint time 1 traveled in a company of SS,ooo soldiers carried in nineteen camou8aged tran port.. In answer to a cablegram I returned, still before the Armistice, to help in big drive for fonds. Then after a few short weeks at home, I started out again, and saw the women of Belgium, Italy, France and England. demobilizing their forces and getting ready for the war of pe:LCe which Will to be the greater war for every lonely thin kine woman. Afterwards. I lectured on the Chautauqua platform."
Miss Honsinger sent this article from Tokyo. Japan, where she was spending a little time aD her tour of the world with Miss Mari_ret Slattery. On her return from this lone journey. this spring, we hope ,he will have another message for her fraternity listers.-EDITOR.
I met her in a little German village near Coblenz. She had walked up with our boys through the mud on that dreary march after November 11, from Sedan to the Rhine. She had gone always ahead of her regiment, far enough to have ready hot coffee and sandwiches

as of len as they caught up to her. With shoes worn and feet almost bleeding, they marched uncomplai'ling, because the spirit of this great-sou led American woman ever led them on. And when they arrived at this hitherto unknown }jule German village, she stopped with them. Out of nothing-at-all, except her American ingenuity , she transformed an old empty barn into a bower of comfort and a home. She was an American woman of whom the whole world was proud, and whom every doughboy loved.
Ame r ica is no longer at war: and we are already hearing much 3hout the return to petty class distinctions which , during the spiritual exhilaratifms of war, were too sm:ll.l to be thought of. We are hearing of the slump in all strata of ,soci al life . (am unwilling to believe th a t those great souled women whom I met serving under the colors, and under the great Red Cross, both in America, and in France, Belgium and on the Rhine--I am unwilling to believE! that they are ind ifferent to the cry of the children of the world
I n the past few weeks, I have passed through many Oriental por : s; yesterday we sailed into one too beautiful to to be told it was closed on account of cholera . \;Ve were microscopically examined and held in quarantine for twenty-four hours, but were not allowed to land. For two months every bit of water that .. has passed our lips even for brushing our teeth , has been boiled and filtered j and not one tas t e of fresh fruit or fresh vege t ab les have we da r ed to take, although they have been served every meal. I have walked through the street where ninety deaths from cholera were reported in one week. Part o( the East is fighting cholera. The student East is fighting, while the untutored East is breaking every law of 53J1itation, and prevention and is scattering the scourge as only Ignorance can.
I looked down through the narrow streets of cities and saw the children who could not possibly resist it when it came- I looked fo r a trained district nurse who could help the untaught mother to fight. r looked for her and wherever 1 found her, there was intel1igcllt prevenlion, but mostly I looked in vain.
/\. few weeks ago I walked down from the mountains of Central China where one must flee to escape the consequences of heat. The mountains were over four thousand feet high and weary from the journey, I rejoiced to see a Ford ready to take me ac r oss the plains. To buy the ticket, I went into the Rest House and in the room lay a

child very ill. One look assured me it was small pox, and the Chinese standing by reassured me it was "heavenly flowers" (sma1l pox).
Where was the help for China?
I met her in the busy mart of the great interior city of China. The city numbers a million people but has no water system; its reservoir is s t ill its yellow muddy river and its viaduct the shoulders of many coolies. The heat was unthinkable; and she was in a quaintly covered jinricksha bumping along over the uneven pavclnents the street was so narrow , my ricksha had to wait in an a1cove for hers to pa!)S: for she was the American Doctor rushing to a patient. She is the only one for all the the city and when all other hope has Bed, they send for her.
Last year the Governor decorated her, hec..1use she saved the city from an epidemic of small-pox-she had herself vaccinated ten thousand people! The government furnished the vaccine and she, the skill. All classes are her friends. Officials' wives and coolies' wi\'.CS look to her as their savior, while the Government recognizes her as a great asset-this weary woman of 3 far country who has come to them with skill and love to serve.

I walked again through the great city and visited its schools and found that boys and girls altogether in schools were three thousand! Three thousand in a city of a million, going to school!

314 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The educated Oriental women are spending all that life has given them in complete devotion to the task. There are Chinese doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers and mothers who are breaking with the , burden; the task is colossal and they need help.
They need the American woman who is greater than any creed; a woman who puts love before dogma, a woman whose great passion is to serve.

.JAPANESE LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY
By THOHASINE ALLEN, Indiana. A, '11
Five years ago as I was starting out on what was for me an untrodden path, a friend said, "You will doubtless - soon become . so fond of your little Japanese friends that you won't care to come back to us." That seemed to me then the greatest' impossibility my mind could fathom, and yet it has almost come true. Within a week I will be leaving the shores of my adopted country for those of my native land, and looming above the natural joy of home-going is tbe sorrow of leaving my Japanese friends, for I love them dearly.
For the first two years of my existence in Japan I lived in Tokyo and attended the Japanese Language School. I will not go into the intricacies of the Japanese language, but suffice it to say that it is without doubt the hardest language in the world, for not only must you learn two ways of writing Japanese characters, but in addition you must learn several hundred Chinese characters with their Japanese as well as Chinese readings. I hope tbat this will be a challenge to all Phi Beta Kappas and linguists to come out and tackle it.
In Tokyo one has many social advantages, afternoon teas galore, receptions, dinner parties and occasional fetes at the embassies, and once in a lifetime either a cherry or .chrysanthemum party at a palace where you see the Emperor and Empress and attendants. Friends were surprised that I wanted to leave the capital city and go to the country where foreigner. were few and far between. But those wbo have once really lasted the country life feel nothing but pity for those

missionaries who have to live in Tokyo or the other large foreignized cities. You must remember that the Japanese meaning of country is different from ours. Anything outside of Tokyo (with the possible exception of Yokohama, Osaka and Kyoto) is country to them. For three years my home has been in Sendai, the largest city ill northern Japan and yet it is "country." Here I spend part of my week teaching Bible in Japanese; and my native tongue to about one hundred fifty gi rls to whom it is a foreign lan guage. Then with my Japanese helper, Obara San, I go on week-end trips to country towns and

Go with me in imagination for just a little while. You will probably want to hold your nose as you climb into a third class coach lor our two hour ride . (I have no sense of smell-an excellent qualification in a missionary in the Orient .) But you will want to keep your eyes open for ';any and varied are the sights you behold inside as well as outside the car window-the queer dress; the babies on the backs of the women or men, or frequently on little children;
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
the curious little one-puff pipes which demand constant refilling and relighting; the small thatched roof houses with their attractive paper . doors; and then the ever present water-covered rice fields in which the clouds, the sky, the gnarled and twisted old pines and even the passing train are mirrored.
Arriving at our destination we can do one of three things: walk five or six miles, ride in a jinriksha, or go in an auto (a late acquisition-but the roads are so terrible, riding is anything but a pleasure). We go first to our little Japanese hotel where we have a cup of tea and are urged to enter the bath. But as these are more or less puhlic affairs we refuse and proceed to the Japanese evangelist's house where we make our "aisatsu," or greeting, which consists of many low bows (sitting on the flooring of thick mats and almost touching your nose to the floor), punctuated by many polite phrases, such as, "It has been a long time since I hung my eyes upon your honorable face""For all the many kindnesses of the past I thank you"-""The la st time I saw you I was very impolite to you"-IiHow is your honorable body?"-"Thanks to your hono rable shadow I am quite well," etc., etc. Vou can keep this up as long as your vocabulary lasts. Then you partake of more tea and cake with the necessary accompanying bows. Our work during the two or three days we are in this village consists in holding several children's meetings, a women's meeting and calling on the Christians and inquirers. Upon entering a house, after the many bows and polite greetings, the first thing the hostess does is to serve you tea and cakes. The wife can hear nothing you say until this sign of hospitality is shown (poor homes as well as rich). So you can imagine after a day's calling that one is not in dire need of supper.
There is one home where we always go. The man is an invalid who has not walked for twelve years, so on the wife's shoulders rests the financial burden of caring for the family. She sells charcoal and frequently has to deliver it also, carrying heavy bags on her back. In no other place do I feel more the presence of the Unseen than when I meet with 'them in prayer.
From this humble borne let us go to the site of the old feudal castle. Here situ'lted on a high hill with the old inner and outer moats now seen as rice fields, is a lovely old house, a relic of past glory, where the granddaughters of the old dalmyo or feudal lord live. We are likewise !D0st cordially welcomed here. One of the girls plays
JAPANESE LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 317
for us on the Japanese harp or koto, and then a desire is expressed that we teach them some Christian hymns which of course we gladly do, following this up with a Bible lesson and prayer.
At our hotel we find a Japanese lad awaiting us. Because he is a Christian he has refused to participate in a heathen festival where he was one of the chosen ones to carry the god on his shoulders through the streets. This was a bard test for tbe boy for it meant a family hreak and a break with his viUage boy's association, but after a wbole night of prayer his answer came-"What would Jesus do?" And he knew that his Leader would not hesitate to walk the bard path and he must not be less faithful. Shortly after this the boy's grandfather died, and tbe father thinking that the boy's infidelity to tbe gods of his fathers and his adherence to the new faith responsible for the death began to persecute the lad and tried to kill him with a knife. He is still being persecuted but is faithful to his Christian convictions. He always comes to us to talk things over and have prayer together. I know you will understand when I say that I feel as though I were the pupil and not the "sensei," or teacher, for I always come away strengthened and helped.
During these days in the country I live entirely Japanese fashion (wearing American dress however), eating Japanese food on a tray set before me on the fioor, sitting and sleeping likewise on the same 800r. So when the day comes for returning to our American built home in Sendai, my knees are a tiny bit stiff. It is also good to get back to 3 good old wood stove and Dot just a little charcoal fire in a box, for our winters are very cold.
Then I begin a busy life of teaching in the school and also some outside Bible classes; supervising the dormitory, entertaining Japanese cal1ers, keeping accounts-scbool, dormitory, evangelistic, poor house, and our own bouse accounts (three of us live together) ; illstructing the servants and the ever present studying of the language. But we missionaries believe that "All Work and no play makes Jack a duil boy," and so we get together occasionally for teas and dinners, and once or twice a year we put on, for our own amusement, a first class minstrel show or sometimes a concert, for we have several fine musicians in our smal1 foreign community. And so we work and play and pray-loving and laughing and trying to lift.
We need you col1ege girls-we need short term Englisb teachers, we need first class musicians, and in all we need girls who are willing

H ow limited is the Westerner's knowledge of the activity of th e oriental mind in its process of reasoning I Nevertheless a continual study of these wonderful people and of their ways, never ceases to be intensely interesting. For the girls of Pi Beta Phi fraternity, there is no greater field for service th:m in China if one cares to think and work in terms of the world. On the other hand, if one cares to conside r only the welfare of our beloved United Stares, one .can not afford to ignore China with all that that word means . I n the cu rrent magazines there are so many splendid articles on China and the East, it would be useless to try to present information to my Pi Phi sisters in r egard to China by giving long descriptions. In passing, let me say that China knows that America is her friend. She looks to the United
States more than any other
nation, to help her Julp Jurull out of the present chaos. Are we going to disappoint her? Perhaps China will be presented to you from various standpoints by o th e.. interested in different phases of this wonderful nation. M ay I make an appeal for more of ou r Pi Phi girls to help in the task of the spreading of Christianity in China? Let me state briefly several reasons why. One reason is that if China adopts Western

civilu.tion without Christianity, the peace of the entire world will be endangered. What benelit will be derived from an educated nation without the sound guiding principles that only Christianity can instill? Some might call attention to the great number of good people in the United States who do not pretend to be Christians. Nevertheless the moral standard by which they live and the laws by which they are governed are based on If Christianity had never been preached in our great America, our nation would Rtill he in the cO,ndition of China with her robbers, plagues, fioods, up· risings and immorality.
Another reason for the ' call of China to Pi Phis i, because the task of sp read ing the Gospel here, is a difficult One. There is use for every talent that any girl may possess--the more ability one has, the greater the service to be rendered. Girls with initiative are needed; girls willing to accept responsibility and girls who forget self in the task they are doing; girls who are cheerful in the face of what the world calls defeat and girls who are broad -minded and far-sighted enough to see beyond today's task-these are needed.

AMERICAN HOME IN JAPAN
By MAllJoRY WHITNEY HALL, MicAigan A, '10
American Board's Japan Mission, Maebashi, Japan, May 11, 1920.
I can't resist stopping my strenuous duties long enough to tell you how happy I am every time THE ARRow arrives. I always have more enthusiasm for my daily tasks after reading what the other Pi Phis are doing. Thomasine Allen, Indiana A, lives at Nakajima Cho; Sendai, Japan. I used to see her quite often at Language School. She knew our beloved Mrs. Drybread, so we were more than friends right at the beginning.
We live about three hours from Tokyo, right in the midst of the silk reeling district. Yaebashi-population 60,OOO-is th.e center of the government of the Kenor province. There are 20,000 factory workers in this city and no work being done for them. The girls enter these '''l'tories at eleven or twelve years of age and last two, three or four years according to their vitality. No time for being just "girls" makes them old before their time. I wish I could go on and describe their dormitories and their work in general and I wish all Pi Phis knew the great need and opportunity for social work here. These girls don't Jrnow how to play and are inlluenced by superstition and their ideals are those of the men and women around them. My heart aches for them when I think:! of our girls at home. There is a big field for work-pioneer work at that.
Japan is beautiful at this time of year. We are enjoying the springtime more than ever for we are settled in our own field to work. Mr. Hall has charge of the Mission churches in this provinceGumma Ken and has English Bible classes besides. At present the Niigata province is without a missionary so he has charge of that work too. It is more than one man can do, but we are hoping for reinforcements soon to relieve the situation. ,
KULING
About myself? I'm just a wife and mother as I would be in America. Servants are scarce. F;u:tories are drawing al1 such people so T have had to get along with my outdoor man. His wife comes in three hours a day to do the upstairs work. We live in a mammoth, big old-fashioned gas, no running water, only electric lights to show we belong to this age. We use charcoal to cook by. Al1 our water is pumped and brought in. You can see then when I say that after my housework is done I don't have much time for outside work. But I am acting Superintendent of the Sunday School in the Maebashi Church, teacher of the Cradle Rol1 department, and te;u:h music to the choir girls. These girls attend the Christian School here in our compound. Besides this there are always cal1ers and caBs to make.
Of course most of my time is used in looking after our son. He is the only foreign kiddie in this province of 2,000,000 people and is quite a curiosity with his white hair and blue eyes. He attends our Mission kindergarten with the Japanese kiddies and enjoys his Japanese playmates and teachers.
This is the time to turn Japan toward higher ideals. She is undergoing a political and economic change. AB the Orient looks to her as a leader. She may be hated by China, Korea, etc., but she is the leader nevertheless. Now is the time for al1 kinds of specialized Christian work. We love the country and its people-we want others to do the same.

KULING
(The many friends of Dr. Gertrude Beggs, Colorado B, '93. who learned with surprise of her departure for China last September will read with interest this fascinatinr account o{ Kuling, where she i. now a valued member of the facult,..-EDITOa.)
The Kuling School is a school in the mountains of Central China, founded three years ago primarily for the children of missionaries. It is not a large school as yet, hut its intimate relation to the missionary enterprise in a large section of the greatest mission field of the world gives it an importance out of aB proportion to its size.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Kuling is the largest of the summer resorts and sanatoriUms that have of recent years revolutionized life for foreigners in China. It is situated in the Lu Mountains close to the Yangtse some five hundred miles from the coast. Automobiles take visitors from the steamers to the foot of the mountains; and a funicular railway, now under construction t will this year, it is hoped, supersede sedan chairs and coolie bearers in carrying them to the top.
Some seventeen hundred foreigners assemble in Kuling in the summer months, while a smaller community including the staff of a well-equipped hospital remain through the year. The three hundred and more bungalows are scattered in a lovely valley set between the mountain peaks at an altitude of nearly four thousand feet. The climate is superb, and the place is one of the most beautiful and healthful in all Asia. It is an ideal location for a school.
To appreciate the unique .service rendered by the Kuling School, one must understand the situation which it relieves.
Until recent years the children of missionaries in Central China have grown up in an environment unhealthy and enervating . The death rate among them was high, and many who survived carried through life a weakened vitality as a result of the experience of their early: years.
Because of the lack of all schools their only resource was such teaching as the parents wer e able to spare time for in their busy l ives. :Furthermore the morally enervating influence of custom s and standards was to the parents, as the children grew older, a cause of ever graver concern.
As the only escape from these conditions the custom in the past was to send children home to school anywhere between the ages of seven and fourteen, after which they saw almost nothing of their parents until they were grown. Often the mothers went home with their children" , leaving their fathers working for years in the field alone. It is not too much to say that ·this break-up of families with the suhsequent separation of parents and children has, in the past, been the source of more pain and anxiety to missionaries than all other causes combined .
It not infrequently happened, where families were large, that both parents gave up their work in China and returned home to educate their children. Many valuable workers have thus been lost to the field. To relieve this crying need schools have been established by
lhe several missionary boards to educate the children of missionaries 011 the field. The Chefoo School, of the China Inland Mission, is the oldest and largest of these, practically all the others have been estab· Lished in the last ten years.
The Kuling School was intended primarily for the missionary c hildren of Central China, but it promises to be no less a boon to c hildren of consuls, business men and European customs officials. Of the missionaries alone there are one thousand working in the Central China provinces, and soon the opening of the HancowCanton Railway will make the school available to the seven hundred missionaries of the semi ·tropical southern provinces. The school is inter - denominational and international as several nationalities are represented among its pupils. .
The schoo! offers these hundreds of boys and girls a refuge from the enervating climate, the many epidemic diseases and the moral miasma of the cities of the plain by receiving them at early primary age into this veritable mountain paradise where they acquire the health and physical stamina of young mountaineers. It gives them a sound education according to approved modem methods in place of fragmentary teaching by their parents. It prevents the pitiful breakup of families and keeps the children with their parents until they are almost ready for colleg". The fact that the mothers of most of the children are in Kuling for all of the summer months, and the fathers for part of the time makes it possible for the children to be a maximum of time with their families, with a minimum of expense and trouble.
The school also effects an immense saving of missionary time by making it unnecessary for the parents to teach their children themselves. Kuling and similar schools save many valuable workers who would otherwise for the sake of the children's education return tor years, or permanently to tbe home land.
Moreover the school promises to render another valuab1e service to the mission cause. Almost the best missionaries in China today are those who are themselves the children of missionaries. To illustrate this point let me cite the case of two brotpers the sons of a distinguished missionary of Hang Chow now gone to his reward. One of the brothers is president of the Hang Chow College, and the other has just been called to the presidency of the University of Pekin.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Unfortunately, in the past comparatively few missionary children have returned to China as missionaries. This is probably due to the fact that they were away from China and away from the influence of their parents in the impressionable years that follow adolescence. It is expected that, among its graduates, the influence of the Kuling School will result in a much larger proportion of second-generation missionaries.
The home side of the problem is also relieved. The missionary children who come home to school become especial responsibilities to their relatives, to the Mission Boards, and the schools to which they are sent. Often grave problems arise in regard to them which are the cause of no little anxiety. While removed from immediate parental influence and restraint they are expected to be particularly good because they are the children of missionaries; often this expectation expressed and "rubbed in" operates to drive the child in the contrary direction.
A gentleman recently told me that in the school of which he is a trustee a girl was to be brought before the disciplinary committee for some offtnse. It was remarked to him that the girl was especially culpable because she was the daughter of a missionary. He replied 'that he thought the reverse was true, that because she had been from a little child separated from her parents wfthout their training and influence, less should be expected of her, and she was therefor entitled to greater leniency. I have also recently heard of one school in which there are now three children, each presenting a grave problem to both mission board and school management, the parents of all three being absent in the foreign field. It should be quite evident that the schools that keep children of missionaries with their families until ready for college lift heavy burdens from many shoulders, at home.
The Kuling School is now in its fourth session. Last year it had an enrollment of ninety pupils, representing eleven different missions. In a year or two, when accommodations are adequate, one hundred and fifty are expected. An unusually fine faculty of eight teachers has been secured, and educational work of a high order is being done_
One has only to think of the service which the school renders to the missionaries, their children, their relatives at home, the mission boards, and the mission cause to realize what large interests it conserves, and that aiding it will be an investment prOmising unusual

returns. This ;. the only thing that the missionaries of Central China are .asking for themselves, a school for the educating of their children. Certainly they deserve this of the Church, and certainly these hundreds of American boys and girls, with their unusually high moral and intellectual heritage, deserve a chance to prepare themselves for the work and service of liCe in the world of our generation.
Y. W. C. A. SERVICE IN INDIA
By MARTHA DOWNEY, II.ficnigan B, '08
The responsibility of writing anything about the work of the Y. W. C. A. in India, the conditions and the difficulties we meet is truly great and I hesitated to write on that account. India is a land of the complex, and it is impossible to generalize even in Y. W. C. A. work. The purpose of the association iR the East is the same as that at home--to unite girls and women in all-round development and whole-hearted service--but Ollr problems are far from settled when it comes to fulfilling the purpose.
The chief difficulty in Y. W. C. A. work here, to my mind, is the race problem. In India are to be found three distinct classes of people, the Indian, the so-called European, meaning the Westerner, and the Anglo·lndian, those of mixed parentage.
India, as never before, is awakening to an intensely national feeling which we are most happy to see; but with that feeling have come unrest and often resentment at "Western interference." It is a most na tural and justifiable feeling, but it nevertheless intensifies the problem. If we Crom the west are to expect to do any good in India, we must strive with all our energy to think with India's mind, to feel her problems, to adapt ourselves to India's point of view, to adopt Indian methods wherever possible, in fact, to be willing "to sit at India's feet and learn," and to take a subordinate position, if need be. This does not mean in any way compromising our Christian principles, but studying how to express those principleS to meet the need. India's culture, art, and industries are not to be despised; and as for her people we have much to learn from them. India's women cannot be equalled anywhere for their modesty and dignity .
It is not my purpose to write a eulogy on India, but I want to show that the blending of East and West is growing more difficult every
ARROW
day, and that the Westerner is not in an easy position. He is t01erated, but whether he will be loved or not will depend upon his ability to love in the truest sense of the word.
It is not only the relationship between the Indian and the European that ma.kes the work difficult, but also the problem of the milted race. In India there are one hundred thousand people of mixed Indian and ' western parentage. The Anglo-Indian woman, although numerically in die minority, is one of our most serious problems, as the work in India was originally organized for her benefit. English is her native tongue, and her life and customs are western. She is looked down upon by the Indian and European alike and she, in turn, despises the Indian. This most lamentable situation makes the blending of the work next to impossible, and yet if the Y. W. C. A. is to fulfill her mission sqe must do her part in helping to bring about a more sympathe ti c understanding, not only between the Indian and the AngloIndian, but also between the European and the Anglo -Indian.
Then for the Americans there is the third problem, that of adjusting themselves to the lIritish point of view. We must adopt an Engli sh vocabulary, and must with studied effort seek to put aside any Americanisms that set Up 3 barrier between ourselves and our British co-workers. America is in none too good favour with the British in [ndia, but individual Americans can do much to break down the barrier by being willing to do their part. We need not try to cover tlp Lhe fact that we are Americans, for that would be impossible even if 'We wanted to, but we can try to "rub off the corners" that emphasize our differences.
The climate and the resulting langour of the people, including ourselves, is another serious hindrance to rapid development. One has to learn very soon that she cannot do the same quantity of work in a gh'en time as she does at home. liThe E_t moves slowly," and is a reason. '1fe would be sent home on sick leave in six months time if we tried to hurry things along; and yet, in spite of this drawback of climate, everyone is usually trying to do three people's work because of the shortage of workers I
The work of the Y. 'Y". C. A. varies considerably according to the needs of the different cities and towns, and the different communities. If anyone is especially interested and will write me, I shall be very pleased to send her copies of printed matter giving a fairly good idea of our work and of what we are trying to do .
THE WORK OF A HI Gil SCIIOOL GIRLS' DEAN 327
India needs " 'orkers, but she needs only our best. The Indian sets a very high standard for and expects much from the " 'esterner, both intellectually and spi ritually. A religious motive is essential for everyone who wishes to work in this land, and no one should come who has not the keenest sense of her mission , for she will be called upon to face many difficulties and to suffer, and without driving force she will most certainly be doomed to failure. •
I have said nothing about the joy and compensation in the work, as you asked me to tell of the diffi c ulties that one meets, but I cannot close without saying that these far outweigh any !;ufIering, physical, mental, or spiritual which everyone that comes to India is bound to meet.
THE WORK OF A HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' DEAN
By ANNA E MARSHALL, J'yfichigan B
Many ARROW readers know the thrill 0 f the moment when an editor becomes interested in the little realm of one's daily husiness, and sees in it many things that would be of interest to others. They will, therefore, appreciate that it is a real pleasure to write briefly something of my work in Battle Creek , Michigan, as Girls' Dean in the high school.
The World War has had to assume so many responsibilities for changes in our every day life that it is adding only one more to the long list when I say that the unusual part of my work started as a waT inspiration and because Camp Custer was located so Tlear Battle Creek.
Approximately seven hundred girls attend our high ' school, and c onsequently with the many sided interests of girls of that age there is enough for a girls' dean to do in normal times. However, soon after the United States declared war on Germany our girls became imbued with a spirit of service, and were anxious to take a place with other civic organizations in the city in helping to win the war, and at the same time to train themselves to assume places of responsibility in the community. It was a noble purpose and met with hearty response on the part of the school authorities and the city Council for National Defense. An organization was therefore formed under my direct supervision which became known as the Daughters of Liberty. The
328 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
constitution provides for officers as in any organization, with an executive board composed of the officers, tbe chairmen of the committees and the faculty advisers. AlI girls in .school are members and tbey elect the officers, while the chairmen of committees are appointed. There are six standing committees, each consisting of four members, one girl from the four grades. Eacb committee also has a faculty adviser. The remaining girls in school are divided into six groups and assigoed to a committee, so that every chairman has a large group of workers to calI upon. The demands on the committees have been qnite varied, but it has always been possible to classify them under the folIowing heads: School Public Service, Patriotic, Red Cross, and Publicity. Extra committees have been added from time to time as occasion demanded. Our object has been to serve the community by accomplishing a specific result and at the same time give each girl as much responsibility and experience as was deemed best. We know that girls are happier "doing something," provided they are not overtaxed and the work is welI supervised.
Our first undertaking was the establishment of a fully equipped Red Cross workroom in school. We had a trained teacher in charge, and girls were allowed to work there during their study periods. The amount of splendid work which was accomplished in a short time was surprising and very gratifying. Patriotic activities did not stop with the war. The Daughters of Liberty have since presented to the schoo l two very fine memorials, one a beautiful bronze tablet with the Honor Roll of our schools' heroes who died serving their country, and the other a handsome hand-lettered roster containing the names of the six hundred and twenty boys from our school who answered the call of military service. It took many schemes to raise L'>e money and pay for these memorials, but the girls were ingenious and determined to earn every penny by their own For the past two years this organization has had charge of the Memorial Day exercises at school. Programs were arranged for each day and patriotic organizatioos in the city were invited guests. As a part of the exercises the two memorials were unveiled and given to the school, one each year.
Perhaps the largest and most detailed undertaking were the two Victory Festivals giveo to commemorate the signing of the Armistice. Each of these entertainments, one given December 11, 1918, one month after the document was signed, the other November 11, 1919, were original in character and fono. The gymnasium was used as an •
amphitheater, the bleachers being put up on three sides of the room, and the fourth left as a stage. About three hundred girls took an active part in both entertainments, which were in pageant form. The fint festival was presented by seven distinct scenes, each one showing some work which the girl. and women of the United States had done to help win the war. Novel costumes, stage arrangements and spoken lines gave the audience picturesque conceptions of the Garden and Canning Clubs, the Red Cross Workers, the Farmereltes, the Women'. Employment Bureau, the Day Nursery, and of many other occupations so familiar all over our land during the war. The high school orchestra, and the girls' glee club furnished the music, while the aesthetic dancing classes gave some clever dances in costumes appropriate to the scenes. The second festival was similar to the first in arrangement but different in theme, for in this one, the girls carried out the idea of how the lirst news of the armistice was received by women in many lands all over the world. The acts and lines, which were entirely original, cleverly showed the native impulses of women at such a time, in some cases joy. for instance, in others sorrow, or revenge. Among the best acts were the extemporaneous trial of the Kaiser by English women, the 'Armenian relief from Turkish oppression, and a religious scene of the Italians. Both entertainments were free to the patrons of the schools and needless to say a great many people were in attendance.
Important as our patriotic activities have been they represent but one phase of our work. Many social affairs have als6 been undertaken by tIris organization. One of these is for new girls at the opening of school and then others are given during the year when the upper grade girls entertain the lower grade girls, the older girls acting as escorts for the younger ones. Last year, on Valentine's Day, they managed an elaborate masquerade dance for high school boys and girls.
Beside these patriotic and social activities there have been a great many miscellaneous ones for the Daughters of Liberty. I can only mention a few to show the variety: taking care of the restroom at school; keeping the medicine cabinet in order; looking after new girls in school and helping them to lind congenial friends; collecting coIlege catalogues for the use of senior girls; helping to find employment for those who wish work outside of school hours; and the making of two war scrap-books for the librarY. Also they have affiliated
with the city organizations and have rendered valuable "assistance to them in many ways, such as typing, driving automobiles, selling red cross seals, giving short talks for public enterprises. They made up Thanksgiving baskets; t ook children to see the toy shops at Christmas time; conducted a Day Nursery during the summer of 1918; assisted in the Child Welfare Work, and presided over numerous mass meetings. Assisted by the Y. W. C. A. and the Collegiate Alumna!, the Daughters of Liberty conducted last Maya Vocational Conference at which many noted speakers from our Michigan colleges were present and spoke on the special educational advantages offered at each inktitution.
As can readily be judged a more detailed account of the workings of this organization is necessary to an understanding of my position as girls' dean. For my work with individual girls and policies for the school are so bound up in the work of this society that they can hardly be separated. Let me emphasize again that these activities of the girls are under direct faculty supervision and I have had a splendid corps of teachers to assist. The girls, however, do the active work and the results are very gratifying to all con cerned.
In conclusion I may add that I assist the Principal in regard to all girl problems, both general and individual, and by this cooperation the girls feel that they have an equal chance with the boys in getting all they can out of their high school life.
*A PI BETA PHI AND NEAR EAST RELIEF
When Mrs. Rosalie Nixon, Louisiana A, was a little gir l her· mother must have impressed most strongly on her mind the ancient maxim, IIHandsome is as handsome does." For since the not very distant days of her childhood Mrs. Nixon r efused to be content with being handsome; she has insisted on U doing handsome" as well.
That she has succeeded in following the second precept, as she so obviously has the first, anyone who has read the newspapers of the southern states knows very well. Her career as woman's editor is an unusual one even in this day of unusual careers. But when the call to war came Nixon gave up the profession in which she had won such success and departed for France to serve with the Red Cr.oss

A PI BETA PHI AND NEAR EAST RELIEF 331
Mrs. Nixon's most signal achievements however, have been in conneetion her latest field of activity-the work of the Near
MRS. ROSA UK NIXON' East Relief. Immediately on her return from France. after the Armistice Mrs. N ;][on became interested in the cause of this martyred people----<>ne and a half million of whom had died by massacre or starvation the beginning of the Great War. Her sympathies being enlisted it was a short step to the enlistment of her services.
Mrs. Nixon had tried and done various thil,lgs in her quite short life, but public speaking was not one of them. But public speaking it was that she was asked to do. A deep conviction and sympathy for the cause she was presenting and a winning personality, she was told, were the secrets of success. All of these. Mrs. Nixon had-though she was rather reluctant about discussing the
It proved a good recipe. Through all the southern and many of the northern and eastern states Mrs. Nixon went on her tour of arousing an'd organizing the college women of the country to come to the aid of the women and children of Armenia. Thousands of little orphan waifs in far away Turkey owe their lives today to the appeals made by Mrs. Nixon to the women of America. Five dollars a month feeds a child at the soup kitchen of the Near East Reliefwhkh is the official organization chartered by Congress to carry on in Armenia-ten dollars feeds and houses him in one of the American orphanages and fifteen dollars a month provides for his education and · clothing as welL"
IIAdopt an orphan" was the slogan and as a result of the work of Mrs. Nixon and her associates there are today one hundred and ten thousand children being fed daily at the soup kitchens of the Near

East Relief. There are fifty·nine thousand orphans housed in the two hundred and twenty·nine orphanages established throughout Syria, Armenia and Asia Minor. But for the generosity of America these children would have perished of cold and starvation as hundreds of thousands of their brothers and sisters.
Besides the rescue of the little children left orphan by the mass· acres and the deportations, the Near East Relief has also done a marvellous work with the Annenian girls held captive in Turkish harems. It is estimated that in all some ten thousand of these girls have already been brought out of capitivity, and cared for by the American relief until they have been put on a self·supporting basis or been returned to their own homes in the cases where they are for· tunate enough to have homes to be returned to.
In this work, especially, Mrs. Nixon has interested many women's clubs and college fraternities. The frightful experiences through which these girls, so many of them in their early teens, ha"'e passed since 1915, are such as to win sympathy fr om even the most self· ce ntered. of women.
In many cases the situation of tbese Armenian girls is complicated by the fact of their having children by their Turkish masters. T oo often leaving the Hhouse of bondage" means also giving up their . babies. And Turkish though they be, these little Armenian mothers will not give them up, even though the price is servitude and too frequently hardship and mistreatment. In many cases, however, the Turks, either through fear of the Americans or because they do not care to support their Armenian offspring, permit the mothers to take their children with them. So both baby mother are taken to the rescue home, there to be kept until some provision can be made for them elsewhere.
There are many tales of suffering and cruelty and horror that pretty little Mrs. Nixon has stored away in the back of her curly head. Many she tells to her audiences.
Not very pretty work you may say__ pecially when one takes into consideration the annoyances of Clone night stands," small town hotels and way·station railroads Yet Mrs Nixon has not forgotten the old motto, and while she makes no claims for her personal achievements, she is very empbatic in declaring tbat it is "handsome work" and that it is a privilege to be engaged in it.
THE PI BETA PHI EUROPEAN TOUR 333
That each of the chapters of Pi Beta Phi might share in this work that she has been helping carry on, would be a splendid evidence Or real spirit. Many fraternities over the country have undertaken the support for one orphan or more under the plan laid out by the N ear East Relief, engaging for his feeding, or his meals and shelter or for his complete support, according to their financial ability.
All pledges and contributions for this work should be sent in t o Mrs. Florence Spencer Duryea, National Secretary of Women's organizations, Near East Relief, 1st Madison Avenue, New York City. It was under Mrs. Duryea that Mrs . Nixon worked and it was largely due to her leadership and help, she declares, that she was able to attain her success.
THE PI BETA PHI EUROPEAN TOUR
The party will sail from Montreal o r New York on July twelve . Since the steamship companies had not made their schedules delinite at the time our itinerary was issued, choice of ports was given to insure the best accommodations available on the date selected. Members of the party will be notified of the port, name of the steamship, time of meeting and hour of sailing as soon as po..ible after those details are settled. Those attending Convention can accompany the leader of tbe party directly to port of departure.
A question has arisen which was not anticipated before our literature was circulated. Several prospective travelers have inquired if they niight include a friend or relative who is not a member of the fraternity io the party. In all instances the same reply has been given-viz., that would be unfair to allow this privilege to OHe member of the party unless the same opportunity were given to all and that such permission could not be granted unless a notice to this effect were published.
As it is the consensus of opinion that a moderate sized party will be most desirable, it has been decided that the tour will be open 10 Pi Phis exclusively until April tenth . After that date applications of friends or relatives of members of the party who are not members of the fraternity will be considered in the order of their receipt but the admitted will depend upon the size of the party.

NEWS FROM: LITTLE PIGE.oN
By PHYLLIS HIG GENBOTHAN
We ha,'e just come home fr om a ten mile trip-Dan and I ·-into the unknown. This time we have been up into the uS ugar Lands"so railed in years gone by because of the number of sugar maple trees there.
Last n.ight on returning from visits to several sick people I found Dr. Massey had called, but could not wait as he was anxious to get Hdo ....'ll oft the mountain" before dark. He had been up to see a boy who was Hpretty sick" with pneum onia, and he left word to go up and see him if possible, that he would not come back unless we sent word as it was a long, hard trip (ovet forty miles for him , sixteen of which he can make in his ca r, and the rema ining twenty-six·from Pigeon Forge----on horse-back).
Before starting, Dan was treated to a few of the hard candies which came in two huge buckets sent the children for Christmas by one of the clubs. We saved out a few for him when filling the candy bags. I know he very much appreciates them-and sends his thanks--for he is al ways looking for more
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 335
The roads at present are terrible j Dan's feet went "squishy squashy" through the dreadful, muddy clay of Mill Creek hill. A solid curtain of mist hung before everything ahead of us, and shut out the usual, wonderful view of the mountains into which we were riding. Three . times we found the road obstructed by fallen trees, and once a rail fence had blown across our path and had to be moved before Dan could proceed j-an unple3.SaJ1t occurrence, for when I'm trying to mount, Dan always stands at right angles to the stone I choose.
On either side we saw the havoc wrought by "the mountain wind" which blew with su ch terrific violence last night (everywhere trees
THE ANDREW O<::u HouSE blown down and broken off) and underneath, the result of the terrible rain, for the springs and streams, following thft line of least resistance were running down the road in many places, so that Dan spent a good deal of his time wading. Our progress was slow, for the road beside being very rocky was constantly ascending; finally we began to descend the qIountain-unbroken woods on either side, no one to ask if this were the right TOad, and no noise except the distant roar of water. At last we came in sight of our destination j Dan, tied to the fence, viewed what he could of the landscape while I went in to see the sick bdy. It was a home of three rooms j-seven small children besides the grown-ups,-but the IUndness and hospitality shown by these mountain people is truly an inspiration. Though I had had a

sandwich th ey insisted that I should have some dinner with them; and the invariable remark on leaving is "Better spend the night with us." To my great relief the sick boy was better and well on the road to recove ry. I also discovered that he was one of a number of boys I had met while taking care of a desperately ill lad, and I shall always maintain that they are among the finest lads I -have ever met. He suggested a shorter way home-just four miles of more level road, so we arrived home as school was being let out, in time to meet onc of the high school girls with a noticeably swollen jaw. Very reluctantly she came back with me, after a solemn promise not to hurt.
A TYPICAL WltYSlDE
The small children are filled with importance if the need arises for them to see the nurse. Several days ago, while playing, one of the boys had his finger cut Ditmars found him with a stocking of uncertain age tied round it and sent him over to the office. It was dressed and he return ed to the school, finger prominently displaying the white bandage, and-wonder of wonders- he returned next day with the bandage still white . I'm afraid !Orne-ope else must have provided fire-wood, for that finger was never near the wood-pile that night.
Aft er cQnsultation with a number of representative women we decided on a definite fee to be charged: SOC for a home visl1 and .2sc for an office visit. Last month th e fees co llected amounted to $H.75 so this will help very materially toward the cost of supplies,
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 337
and I was told by one of my committee -that the people are very well satisfied with the fees.
This last week most of my spare time has been spent over in the school examining the sight and hearing of the children in the pri · mary grades; (at least doing rontine work that will save a specialist's time). It is quite a novelty to them, and, far frojll being afraid, they usually say Hmy turn next" a classroom examination of eyes and mouths showed 79% needing attention of some kind-teeth, tonsils, etc.; the result of the eye and hearing tests will probably swell this number still more. There is urgent need of a dentist's services, and we are hoping to have one come in for a few days or a week when the roads are passable.
The accompanying picture of the "Andrew Ogle hou... " taken from our porch, will give you some idea of what will eventually be the office. We are hoping to have possession in March, and when the necessary changes are made this ought to be very useful as a central place to which the people can come to see the doctors-for we are hoping that in the spring it will be possible to have a doctor here at least one afternoon each week. With a definite schedule this will enable those who wish to see a certain doctor to come his particular afternoon. I cannot say enough for the help 'and cooperation I have received from the doctors.
These are splendid people and it is indeed a ptivilege to be able to work with them. I feel that they are in no wise different from us-an independent, fine people that Uncle Sam has just reason to be proud of.
With Mr. Whaley ploughing the fields, Christmas seems rather a long way off, except for the memory of how good the clubs were to us. The boxes were wonderful,-and so many, that from the begin· ning as they piled up in Miss Evelyn's office there was never a doubt of there not being enough to go round. Noone was forgotten-there were lovely presents for all the children and the lit tie visitors; there were even presents for the teachers and the cottage, and so many nice things for my work. In fact one great big heavy box (I carried it up from the store myself, so I speak feelingly) from Ames, Iowa, club was so full of sheets, towels, etc., that more than a beginning has been made in the line of such equipment. With papers and old clean pieces of linen scarce, it was a joy to receive a big package of old table·napkins.

The entertainment was splendid j OUf only regret was that it rained so hard that all the parents and friends were not able to come.
If you bad been with me, one day on a visit, and been shown, with great glee--a tiny scrubby tree, very wobbly, but nevertheless planted after a fashion in the back yard, and, decorated with an almanac, the wrapper off a cake of laundry soap, and a few such articles, you would have felt the joy of those same children on seeing the huge Christmas tree in the trimmed with tiny colored electric lights, and, nearby, baskets full of presents that every boy and girl-whether in the mountain or the city-loves to get.
The clubs can all be very sure that the time and money spent on those Christmas-boxes have been amply repaid.

E. P. Dutton & Co ., 681 Fifth Ave., New York. $6.00
In the midst of the natural and general reaction against war books this volume stands unique and it is quite worthy of its unusua l reception. P r incess Blucher, the English wife of a German nobleman of distinction was forced to leave home and kindred at the outbreak of the wor ld war and dwell throughout the great conllict in the heart of Germany. She had exceptional opportunities to learn the truth about conditions in that coun try and it was her custom to record all the
daily incidents of her life in a journal designed for her mother. This manuscript now given to the public in book form makes interesting reading and in many places tells an exciting and dramatic story. It is doubtless one of the few authentic records of its kind which will be consulted for years to come by future historians. A II students of our own times should read it for themselves.
New Encland in the Life of the World

The Pilg-rim Press, 14 Beacon St., Boston, 19 We s t Ja ckso n St .. Chicago
The Pilgrim Tercentenary as an event of national importance is being appropriately observed in various parts of the country. For New England influence has made itself felt in every part of our broad land and men and women of New England ancestry e verywhere are ready to pay tribute to the hardy pioneers who blazed the trail for civilization. Probably few students of the present generation realize how much they are indebted to N ew influen ce for the privileges they enjoy today. To quote from a newspaper editorial:
With the New England caravans went the New England church and th e Eug1:md school. OCteD the colonists listened to a sermon from the pastors who travded with them immediately upon rea chi ng the site selected (or their Dew homes :lnd beCore undertaking 3.Ily of the pioneer duties of settlement. A com · pany of YaJe men founded Illinois College at Jacksonville. The sett lers at Beloit their first stree t UCoUege Street," in token of the intention that soon was reali:ted in the useful institution known as Beloit College. Vermonters founded Oberlin and its graduates aided greatly in establishing Hinsdale :\Ud Olivet, Ripon, Tabor and Iowa College, Drury in Missouri and Carleton in Minnesota. Evanston and its university trace back to Maine. The free school system of Indiana is derived from the work of a Dartmouth graduate, nnd to the influence of a Yale graduate is attributed the whole system of Jllnd ·grant universities. Three colleges, Western Reserve in Ohio, Beloit in \V isconsin and Whitman in Oregon. can themselves the Western Ville.
Dr. Bridgman has done the country a notable service in preparing this volume in the tercentenary year. He has shown in detail the exact part which New England -has played not only in influen c ing education but in founding middle and far western commonwealths and in developing society in more distant climes.
Whether you are of New England lineage or as a student owe your education to the opportunities furnished by New England you will find ' this volume evidences records of New England "activity which were previously unknown to you. It is a distin c t contribution to American lite rature.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
fhe committee on selection of the best Convention Song submitted under the . conditions outlined on page 21 of the October issue of THE ARROW have awarded the prize to U-elen L. Witmer, Pennsyl · vania r, '19. Miss Witmer represented her chapter at convention in 1918. The words of the song with a note in regard to the musk appears on page 298. It is hoped that al\ chapters and clubs will sing it on every possible occasion previous to convention. The com· mittee on the Convention Song consisted of the following: Mrs. Fletcher Linn, chairman, Grace Hancher Beck and Miss Martha Rice. (Wss Rice took the place of Miss Martha Tinker who was unable to serve.)
The Fellowship Fund Committee again wishes to remind all Pi Beta Phis everywhere that contributions are needed for this very im· portant work of our fraternity. This is Convention year-do we all not want to make it a banner year for our Fellowship Fund? Let every chapter and club and every isolated alumna consider this seriously, and let every Pi Beta Phi at Convention be able to say that , she has contributed, individually or through her club or her chapter. Send your contributions either to the committee woman in your prov· ince (see ARROW Directory) or to Mrs. Julian W. Schmid, 1101 Cherry St., Springfi eld , Mo.
Attention of all chapters is called to the fraternity Statutes of Pi Beta Phi, IV, Section 6, Official Reports, reads :-"All official reports sent to any national or province officer shall be in typewritten form."
Chapters are reminded that the office of Custodian of Supplies must he filled by a member of the chapter resident in the city in
348
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
which the chapter is situated. In case no active member is resident in the city, a res iden t alumna should be chosen. This office was created in order that adequate care of fraternity property should be insured during vacation months.
Alumn., clubs which have not yet sent in their membership list with addresses should do so at once. The Cataloguer would appre· ciate it if the club secretaries would also include in this list resident Pi Phi alumnre who are not club members.
Will PI Phis, visi ting and all others as well, refrain fr o m buying directly from the mountain people, baskets, brooms, etc.? The Settlement School gets a percentage of. profit, but, as it is very small on some types of basket, this profit does not give much in the way of returns, especially when the lahor and time spent in soliciting, packi ng and shipping, and the breakage is considered. Real trouble comes when clubs feel that some get baskets at a lower cos t, or find out that baskets apparently are being sent out to new pat r ons ahead of those orders of long standing. As the baskets are handled by the school primarily for the purpose of keeping up in· terest, havoc is wrought through the indignation resulting from what a,ppears to be discrimination in the filling of orders. Pi Phis have been known to order baskets of the makers who then bring them to "M iss Evelyn," sometimes at the pu rchaser's request, too, for he r to pack and ship I
Undoubtedly, this direct purchasing has been made unthinkingly, in whi ch case no further difficulty need be feared .
EDITORI A L S
CONVENTION IS APPROACHING. You may not be a delegate but. you can be a visitor and no more delightful spot to spend a _ summer holiday could be found than Charlevoix the Beautiful. If you aTe a sophomore you will want to come to broaden your friend· ships and learn the breadth and the scope of the great organization to which you have so recently pledged your allegiance . If you are an upperclassman, you will wan t to come to support your delegate and confer with her on the momentous questions which her vote will help
decide. If you are an alumna you will surely wish to come to renew old friendships, catch the inspiration of youth and lend your best efforts to the solving of the problems which confront our alumn:e body. Convention is for aU and this is a personal invitation to YOU to be present.
THE SOCIAL SERVICE WORK of· the Panhellenic orgaldzations is comparatively well lrnown to all of us but the practical work of honorary organizations is less familiar. Theta Sigma Phi the national journalistic fraternity has started a Woman's National Journalistic Register which now maintains two offices, one in New York and one in Chicago.
It includes a central bureau "to comb for the jobs on the vast number of newspapers, house organs, advertising firms, etc., in the west and middle west; a New York office to do the same service among the many publications concentrated in the east; both offices to register many capable literary women, trained and untrained, non·college women as well as Theta Sigma Phis and other college girls. The one requisite is capability. Thus the bureau is to serve all trained women journalists. The deciding point of eligibility is journalistic ability training, not college work or membership in Theta Sigma Phi. A small fee is charged each registrant.
An advisory council of writers is backing the register. The council includes Mary Roberts Rinehart, Dr. Frank Crane, Fannie Hurst, Zona Gale, Frances Donovan, John Price Jones (Publicity Counsel), Judge Jean H. Norris (President of the New York Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs) , Jane J. Martin (President of the League of American Advertising Women), Mrs . Frederick Van Renneselaer Dey (President New York Women's Press Club), Miss Edith Brownell Publicity Secretary Y. W. C. A.)"
THE FOLLOWING LETTER is intended for us all:
Monmouth, IlL, January 28, 1921.
Mrs. SaralJ Pomeroy Rugg,
Dear Editor:
I am again in receipt of many letters, telegrams and cards sent me by dear Pi Phis on my birthday in January. I surely appreciate your kindness. It is a beautiful and pleasant way to show your remembrance. May the good cheer and happiness which you gave me be
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
returned an hundredfold . For every message I thank you and I send you this Httle quotation:
\Vhatt'er you do, whatt'er the path you choose, Whate'er may be your tools, Let it be said that always. win or lose. You played the game according to the rule. : Yours in Pi Beta Phi, CLARA BROWNLEE HUTCHJNSON.
IT WOULD BE of great assistance to the alumn", officers in planning for the alumnre share of convention act1vities, if they co uld know who of the aluron", plan to attend convention. So if each alumna intending to be present at Charlevoix would drop a card to her Province Vice-president or to the Grand Vice-president, it would facilitate to a great extent the plans now under consideration.
PI BETA PHI was represented by eight members of the New York alumme club who occupied a table at the dinner conference on the International Federation of University Women held at Hotel Gotham on }'riday evening, January 28. Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard Col· lege presided . Among the speakers were Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Dr. CaroHne Spurgeon of London, president of the International Federation of University Women, the presidents of Wellesley, VasS3T, Smith and . Mt. Holyoke Colleges and several foreign university women. The following Pi Beta Phis were present: Mrs. Carri e Chapman Catt, Mrs. Burton L. Maxfield, Mrs. William S. Lough, Mrs : C. Grant Cleaver, Mrs. Oliver C. Martin, Mrs. Clyde Brown, Miss Sophie P. Woodman, Miss Elisabeth Thompson and Miss Annie V an Buskirk.
THE MANY FRIENDS of Mrs. E. T. Miller, Vice president of Theta Province, wish to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Miller on the birth of a daughter, Emily Virginia on January 19.
AGNES WRIGHT, '13, a charter member of WyoI]l.ing A, and Archer T Spring, K 1, of the Colorado School of Mines, were married in Den\'er, Colorado, on February 14. Mr. Spring is a geologist with the Matador Petroleum Company with headquarters at Cheyenne, Wyoming. THE ARROW extends its congratulations. Mrs.
Spring has been the editor of our chapter letter section for the past two years.
DR. EDITH H. GORDON, Ontario A, and Dr. Edith Hedges Matzke, New York 6, were each granted the degree of Doctor of Public Health at the February Commencement of the University of Pennsylvania.
AS THE ARROW goes to press news comes that the Pi Beta Phi house a t Ames, Iowa, was destroyed by fire on February 19. The fraternity sympathizes with Iowa. Gamma.
GRAND COUNCIL announces the appointment of Mrs. David Underhill Smith (Florence Underhill, Colorado A) as president of Epsilon Province to fill the unexpired term of Mrs Compton and of Mrs. C. L.

At seven o'clock we were tlshered into the dining room, dimly lighted by wine colored candles on the various tablts. In one comer there was the Christmas tree , not larce but quite large enough to hold a lovely appropriate gift for each girl.

We have III ou r guests each Sunday members from another woman's fmternity and in accordance wilh a prearranged schedule II cz, sends representatives to each of the other three houses. This has worked out fa.vorably nnd gives great plea s ur e to all th e girls.

Extensive preparations are being made to entertain the large number of farmers who meet here annually for Fanners' W eek in West Virginia. Exhib i ts are arranged in the ngricultural building, and among them are several arti 4,: les made by Pi Phis.

But despite the fa c t that the in co nvenien ce of midyear examinations is fast appro!l.ching. mu ch of the good -will of the h oliday season has stayed with us and is felt in frat er nity and inter-fraternity life more strongly than ever before.

Ple<lge day, t oo, is Dot Car off since February 26 has been set as the date by local Panhellenic. It seems hardly possible that a month has elapsed since we had our" annual Christmu party. It is our custom to give gifts to the house at that time. Maoy of the alumnre remembered us this year with lovely gifts which add much to the beauty of our house.
One of the most interesting events that has occurred at Randolph-Ml!.Con f or lome time has been the taki.ng of a moving picture. The picture portrays many scenel of college !ife, depicting the life of a student from the time she enters college until she is a senior in cap and gown.

We have finally adopted a budget system {or chapter finances, which , we think is a &Teat help. We were unable to foresee, however, the number of our former members who were contemplating matrimony, so, needless to say, the greater part of "Incidentals" has gone toward wedding presents.
Hollins has had the pleuure of having severn! distinguished visitors during the fall. among whom were John Powell, who gave an enjoyable eoncert, and Dr. Caulkins, who, under the auspices of the Y.

Could there be a better or happier beginning for the New Year than ODe', initiation into n B 4» and the installation of one', chapter? Every member of Indiana 6. deemed the evening of New Year', day, 1931. uthe end of a perfect day," and furthermore the happiest day of her life. We had closed one chapter of our lives but bad opened another one, vastly broader and more impressive. 4t last the wearers of the much coveted arrow, we began this year with determined resolutions to meet and fplfill every obligation to n B • which we had acquired.
The days of our initiation and jostanation ceremonies were one. of which we shall always hold beautiful memories. We are indeed proud to have had such women as Mrs. Tannahill, Mrs. Allen and Miss Carpenter participate in the festivities.
We desire in this manner to express our very sincere thanks {or the enthasiastic support which wu given to us by the members of the active cbapters in 6. province and by Pi Phis from other chapters who visited us. From them we have gained increased vigor, enthusiasm and higber ideals.
For the n B 4' wall plaque from Indiaoa r, the pictures from Indiana B and tbe innumerable Bowers. telegrams and notes of congratulation from the installing officers and from members and chapters of men and women's fraternitiCi represented at Purdue and from {riends, we are duly grater»l.

University .f Minoe5Ota, spent three weeks this summer in Gatlinburg. Alter hearing t)( their interesting experiences with the various individuals, their customs, mode of living and the work of our Settlement School, we felt as though we bad actually taken a trip to Gatlinburg.
It has been the custom every year for the alumnae to give the active chapter a Christmas party and cooley-sbine at the n cit house. A little diversion this year instead of each girl getting lI. present from the tree, the alumnz and actives gave useful gifts to the housc. Consequently, our 1l0llse is flourishing a Dew silver cream and sugar two pa.irs of candlesticks. an'd one dozen new knives and forks.
P:Ulhellenic has accomplished II. great deal this year in becoming an effective organita.tion on the campus. As the president said. "It is more than a battlcground for our petty differences.'! The constru ctive work began in the fall just before election when a series of interesting lectures were given to girls who could vote . Following this same policy the third Monday of each mantA has been set aside for a lecture by some eminent speaker. Other work of Panhellenic for the year has been 3n attempt to bring more national women's fraternities into Minnesota. Panhellenic feels that the twelve societies represented here are not enou;h in proportion to the number of women students in college, but as there are no locals to petition for national charters Panhellenic as an organization is sponsoring and helping groups of non-fraternity girls in their communication with national organizations. Already three or four nationals are interesting themr;elves in Minnesota as !l field (or extension Rnd we hope by next fall to have at least one or possibly two, new national chapters

On account of the death of our patroness and also landlady, Mrs. Northrup, the house where we have our rooms was sold but we were greatly relieved wben we found that the new owners would let us keep the rooms, although during the month of February the house will be vacant.

It is hard to make our minds work as they should when they are whirling with knowledge to be dispensed to the professors in our final examinations. Nevertheless, all Missouri Betas have most pleasant memories of the visits of Mrs. Tannahill and Mrs. Allen early in December. We were singularly f o rlunate in having these two national officers with us at the same time. It was fun to gather 'round in a good old n 41 circle while they talked to us sbout the work of the Settlement School, and showed slides and snap-shots of the Gatlinburg region. We remember, too, the lovely f ormal dance that the pledges gave in honor of the active chapter on December 3.
On December II, Keod. th e senior honorary society, gave its annual Yodvil in which each fraternity and women's organization on the campuS" took part. Our number, a clever sketch worked out by Grace Woods, '19, proved to be one of the most appreciated acts of the performance.
During December, Elizabeth Bradsh3.w, '21, was pledged to Ternion, the junior honorary society, and also to 6. q, K, an honorary athletic fraternity. Genevieve Orear was chosen as the n cit member in the freshman honorary society.

No word could characterize Drury just at this time better than husy. It is now less than two weeks before mid -year examinations, when all outside semest!!r work must be finished very soon . We are anticipating the second semester, however, and hope that we can take more time to be lociable then.
Bdore the last ARROW went to press, we had thirteen of the very loveliest freshmen in college wearing the arrowhead. In addition to these we have three upper-class pledges: Grace Gambill, Octavia Johnston, a jllnior, and Effie Robinson, a sophomore. We are sure that all o( our pledges will prove very worthy.
We were very lortnnate in December in having a visit from Mrs. Nina Harri s Allen. We were disappointed that Mrs. Tannahill could not accompany her as she had planned to do. Mrs. Allen brought with her lOme Dew sUdes of the Settlement School, and we had a "picture show" in one of the college buildings to which we invited all students. (acuity and friends o( the college . At this meeting Mrs. Allen lectured as she showed the llides, and brought to the attentiOD of the college what (raternities can do in service to those less fortunate than we are. \Ve were p:uti cu larly surprised at the very little difference in the appearance o( the children of the Settlement School and those whom we see every day. We certainly can recommend to all chapters that they gel some one to bring those slides to them. Mrs. Allen not only brought us news of Little Pigeon, but also helped us in -a. very real way to solve our local problems. We felt as if we could start with renewed effort upon our college and fnttrnity work.
On Oecember 4, we gave our semester dance in the college gymnasium, and the committee worked very hard on the atiractive Christmas decoration.. We were especially pleased that Mrs . Allen could be with us (or that big locial affair.

They have lovely rooms furnished with the necessities and each girl is permitted to use her own ingenuity in adding the ufurbelows." A man from Chicago is here now to plan the remainder of the campus and we are anxiously awaiting and anticipating the changes which he will recommend.
Two of our newest buildings, the teachers' college and the social science, have just been formally dedicated and ceremonies were very lovely•
Another thmg which every loyal student feels proud of is the recent proof of our unitedness and "stick·to-itiveness." ]f there were any skeptics or . pe ss imists in the school who tried to prophecy or lament upon the lack of spirit at Nebraska, they surely must be in hiding now. ' We had to pay $37.00 for our best ballroom for our formals, with the warning of a raise to $50.00 the first of the year, $60.00 for an orchestra, $2.50 per plate for ban· quets, and other outlandish prices for the things which most college students feel are necessities. Welt, the feeling against all these unfair prices had been growing since early faU until lin ally, the last of November things came to a crisis when the above announcements were made. Representatives from esch Greek-letter organization and other organizations were called in a joint meeting. This meeting was very saccessfu) and everyone representing some big group of people agreed to do all in his power to bring the dealers to terms! A committee was chosen to draw up the plans of campaign and to submit these plans to each organization. Each individual complied with the rules and it was because of this united effort that the dealers were finally forced to submit and consequently cooperate with the students.

Several influences have been exerted recently to bring about in our chapter, 40 enthu siasm which has not been equalled for several years. An extremely enjoyable visit from Mrs. Tannahill in December achieved an inspiration in our fraternity life which has left the chapter more leeenly aware of its own purposes and ideals, as well ' as its relation to the university and the world in general. This too brief but charming association se rv ed to reveal in a new way our goal as fraternity women. Mrs. Tannahill', visit had been preceded by • current of response to our Alma Mater during a stadi um -uni on campaign. conducted to obtain finances for a long desired stadium and a' moch needed union building.

Early in December, the chapter gave a buaar. the proceeds of which were sent to the Settlement School. Our alumnae were the patroDs and demonstrated a greatly appreciated interest.

Since the last letter to the Auow, we entertained with a Panhellenic tea, to which we also inrited all of onr patronesses and mothers in town and an of the fraternity house mothers We will not entertain with a formal dance, as usual, this year because it was decided in the inter·Iraternity co nference and Panhellenic that the formal fraternity dances would be omitted this year and be replaced by informal cadet club dances. Tbi, decision was largely due to the expenses of the fraternity dances.
The council on student affairs had already ruled that there could be no extra decoration in the armory in addition to the permanent draperies and other interior decorations which the council will provide. Hughlett Coleman, '22, is on the committee for planning these decorations.
About two week. before the holidays one hundred of the state legislators and senators spent a week visiting several large universities, including Iowa State College, Missouri, and Illinois Universities; :md then visited our uni· venity. The purpose of the trip was to compare the equipment of these larrer univers ities with that of our own. It is hoped that the appropriation which has been asked of the legislature for the upbuilding and improvement of the university will be granted If so, one or the first new buildings to be erected will probably be a gymnasium which has been.. needed on the campus f or a long time.
One of the latest clubs in connection with the campus is the Creek-letter mothers' club, which is composed or the fraternity bouse mothers, who meet at the different houses once a month for a social good time and a discussion of their sim ilar conditions and difficultiet.
In student activities we are represented by Dorothy Greeson, who was I tely t ken into Black Friars, dramatic club, and who is also class editor of the annual; by Hughlett Coleman, '22:, as art editor or the annual j by Lunette Hedgepeth, '22, as- vice-president or the junior class; by Margaret Maxfield, '22, as PanheUenic representative to the .tudent advisory council; and by Emily RUSlell as a member of n K, honorary journalistic woman's fraternity.
The present is certainly a critical time in the history of Te:uJ University. The institutioD bas grown so rapidly that the r e gents have recommended to the legislature that it be moved (rom the present campul to .. ncw situation several miles out on the Colorado River. It would be a beautiCal location, but it would mean many change s, and would make the future oC fraternities more que.tionable.

In December, Loui,iana A had the splendid fortune to receive a Ti,it from our Grand President. whose visit was an occasion of the &Tule.t pleasure to the c hapler. We feel that we have been immensely benefitted by her talk. on fraternity matters, and we now have a truer conception of what n • really sland, for, and a broader idea of the work and aim. of the fraternity.
W e had our usual Christmas-t ree party just before the holiday., and it was ODC of the mOlt &musing and most enjoyable parties of the year.
The open meetings which the chapter holds once each month. on some Saturday night. have been much enjoyed. After the meetings we have a spread, some stunts, and a general good time.
\Vilmer Shields, one of our Sophomores, was the winner of the Jenni e C. Nixon debate. That is quite an honor, for tbe Nixon debate is considered one of the big events of the college year.
Cora Miltenberger was pledged on January 8.
With 10 much {eelinc at Newcomb, it seems advisable t o keep fraternities as inconspicuous as possible, therefore we no longer use the II whistle on the campus. This suggestion was made by Mrs, Tannahill dUf4 iog her visit here.
The fraternity agitation at Newcomb seem. to have quieted down for the present, and Louisiana A is working hard to better conditions, so that will be no trouble for next year.

After a very refreshing Christmas vacation of two weeks. we are all hard at work in preparation for semester finals · which loom up in the near future. Washington B felt very fortunate in obtaining second place in the schola.rship records at mid·semester, for all the national fraternities. as well as both women's and men's residence halls on the campus. So we are endeavoring to keep th e good work going the tast hat { of the semester.
Pi Phis here were bot h active and much interested in the inter-collegiate con ference o{ all · women's org:mtzations which remained in session on our campus from the afternoon of November II to November 13 It was most imporl:ant probably {rom two standpoints. first from the bet that it was the first conference of the kind ever called in the country; second. from the nature of its discussions Our dean of women originated the idea with our women', league tll'ec:;ut i ve council and helped the officers of the conference to push it through from its inc;".eption to a successful close. Delegates from fourteen participating institutions from as far east as Nevada nnd from California in the lo uth were present. Discussions covering every phase of women's student life on our variow campuses were very vital and seemed to help much towa.rd the futUre 'SOlution of our problems. It was decided to form a permanent organization to which all women's organizations in any college or uDiversity might be eligible. The l:niversity of California expects to entertain the next convention in r9zI, and it is hoped that more institutions will join, and be ready to participate in the convention.
We helped to make a success of the Y. W. C. A. buaar, an annaal ennt here, held a week before Christmas vacation.
We held initiation on December 11, for our two pledges, and in the evening had a house dance in their honor.

The system of excbange dinners is again in vogue and tach Tuesday every house of residence and fraternity exchanges six girls at dinner, This informal democratic system has proven very su ccessful and is • means of bringinl together not only members of the different fraternities, but also the non -fraternity &irIs in the dormitories.

According to a newspaper cUpping:
A study of Itudent milr.tion .bows tbat New Jersey leads all other Itates in the percentage of ill collele student. sent to other states to be educated. New Hampshire leadl all othen in tbe percentase of "udents received from other States for education and New York Tanka 6.-.1 in tbe total number of underlraduates sent outside tbe State for college instruction.
This information is furnisbed by Dr. Robert L. Ke.lly, executive of the Council of Church Board. of Education, who has completed a aurvey for that or(anization of student movements throuahout the United Statu. The survey doe. not indude the larler S,late universities. but simply the institution. ranked as accredited colleles by the Association of American Universities, the North Central Aaaociation of Collcles and Secondary Schools, the AMOCillion of Colleles and Secondary Schooll of the Southern States and the Univerlity of California
The survey revealed, Dr. Kelly said, that Ohio Ind Pennsylvania ard in the lead with the greatelt number of college., there beinS" ICventeen in each State; while there Ire twelve States whicb have no accredited colleae. These are Alabama, Arizona, Arkan.sa.s. Delaware. Idaho, :Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, OkJahoma, Utah, Weat Virginia and WyominS". These twelve furnish 2246 colleae students to the in.titutions of othe r State•• in the Ii.t lurveyed.
"Conversely, it il intert.tinr to note," laid Dr. Kelly, "that California come. the neare.t of any State to taking care of her own Itudents. Only 6.6 per cent of Callfornia students attend conere olltlide of tbe Stlte."
Amollg other faa. revealed by tbe survey are:
Ohio leads in the total number of college .tudent. enrolled.
