COLLEGE GIRLS IN ENGLAND.
Students Have Plenty of Amusement but Al
tend College Primarily for Study.

Dr Laura E. Lockwood. associate professor OF
English in Wellesley College. writing recently on
"a College Awakening by way OF protest against
certain tendencies in college life for American girls
,,o+os - conversation with an English woman pro-
fessor at Newnham College, who said IN answer 20
Miss Lockwood's question as TO whether that IN
stituton published magazine.
.'No. we have no college magazine Why should
we spend our time that way? There are plenty OF
good magazines TO read"
but the students get much training IN the eolt-
ing OF a magazine
TT seems to US a more expensive and less en-
cient way Of development than through the regular
channel OF their college work" she explained with
conviction.
do you have secret societies.?
mo. indeed; we shall never hope. tolerate such
a thing" she replied emphatcally
why not?" asked. on the defensive
IT think understand what you in America mean
by secret societies. and believe they surely tend
To the building up OF caste in college. and are
thereby antagonistc TO the free intellectual spirit
we try By all TO cultivate. Our girls are es-
sentiaIly democratic; more so than students In
America judge. A graduate OF ours obtained a
scholarship in of your large institutions. and
what she missed most the absolute equality Of
the students here the Intellectual freedom and the
social democracy No. shall. trust, never al
low your secret societies admission to our doors"
DO you have dramatics?" 1 asked realizing that
the subject Of societies closed.
Please explain Just what that means in your
college terTninology."
DO the students give a succession OF plays dur
ing the year? Is there a club other organization
to stimulate and systematic this side Of the Hfe?"
NO" she answered, they don't have time 10
create maintain private theatricals- oh, they
have one play at the end of the summer time. but
it is only a bit of fun which doesn't require more
than two days preparation. Our girls go in for
honors and are too busy for plays"
"I suppose then. they satisfy their desire for the
dramatics at the town theatre
mo. they not allowed TO go to plays; do
think X is necessary advantageous for young
women attend the theatre while they in
college"
Then 1 asked, amazed: III they have no plays
and no societies, no large dances and don't go to
the theatre how do they amuse themselves?
Where do they get their fun?"
"Oh. they have fun enough; they are especially
keen on athletics and she smiled. evidently re-

parts of the country attended the

of the Charleston News and Courier:
Rev. Robert Bnrdett of Los Angeles,
and former Senator I. NJ. Patter-

The principal address was made by
Count Won Bernstroff. who said:
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen: Permit
me 10 tender TO you my most sincere
thanks for the kind invitation to this
banquet. ! highly appreciate your
courtesy, as 1t affords me very much
pleasure TO meet so many prominent
men of the press of this great eoun-
try. We have long learned to look
to the newspaper press as not only
the quickest. but on the whole the
most accurate source of intelligence
in all matters of public interest. II
would be idle to deny that We d.
plomats sometimes find the press
much too quick and that we at other
times consider IL necessary to correct
the information which our respective
governments and nations receive
through the newspapers. In gen.
eral. however. one can say that the
press has relieved us OF the duty Of
reporting facts. We now confine
ourselves 10 giving appreciations of
facts and expressing our views.
which are of more or less value ac-
cording to the confidence. the two re-
spective governments and nations
place In our judgment.
This work of appreciating facts We
share with the press, and we natur-
ally like those newspapers best who
happen to express our own views,
particularly as we suspect the public
of being more ready to believe what
their newspaper tells them than
what we are able to say. The power
to give publicly to our views on mat
ters of international interest, throws
a great responsibility upon us, diplo-
mats as we'll as journalists, because
in spite of all modern facilities of In
tereourse nations in our days have
very little intimate knowledge of one
another. This want or mutual know
ledge may become the cause of mis-
understandings. which are often only
based on misconception. Most people
chiefly form their opinion on inter
national affairs after having consult
ed the kilograms of the foreign cor
respondents of their newspapers.
This is why so highly appreciate the
