~ ECAUSE Of the scarcity OF women
X with sufficient training for po-
- sitions as Industrial supervisors
OF women in industry the National
War Council of the Y. w. c. A.
has offered to Bryn Mawr College,
Bryn Mawr, Pa, sum or money to
meet the expenses OF a training course to
prepare women under the Garcia Woeri-
shoffer graduate department The object
of the course is to prepare wonnsn for in
dustrial positions through which they
may aid in the solution Of TIE present
industrial problems affecting women.
These problems have erisen as a result
of the increasing number OF women, both
single and married. being employed
either because OF the expansion Of in
dustry or because OF the drafting of men
for the army. The positions for which
such courses prepare them are employ
ment managers, industrial superintend-
ents OF women's work. welfare superin-
tendents, Industrial secretaries and lead
ers, Investigators OF industrial problems
affecting women and factory inspectors
TIE plan provides for three groups Of
courses, one beginning June, 1918, one
beginning October l, 1918. and one Feb
ruary I, 1919. These courses will last
for eight months. The work in the sum-
mer will be for one month at Bryn Mawr
and for three months In New England
factories.
The full work will be the regular
courses offered under tnis department
and cooperating departments of the col
lege, together with additional courses in
Industrial / ygiene and employment man
agement. The field work will be con-
Quoted in the industrial establishments
in and about Philadelphia and the train

arships to the value OF $500 are being
offered by the War Council of the Y. w.
C. A. The minimum expense will be
about 5000. There Is a very large de-
mand for positions for which these
courses will prepare women.
The purpose OF the course has the

Yet al one looks back at the situation
1t Is almost grotesGue to suggest that
the Rhodes scholars had or could have
the effect that the maker of empires de-
sired. The simple business. commercial
and political relationships before the
war, coupled with the extraordinary in
accommodation of all ideas through
the newspapers, were bringing about such
an understanding that even a battalion
OF scholars could hardly have changed
the situation, no matter how eloquent or
how clear sighted they were as to the
respective merits Of the countries OF
their birth and the country of their So
Journ. Even in Canada it has been nd
that the returning Rhodes scholars too
often could be divided into two classes

Future of the Rhodes Scholarship

T n many ways it really does not mr.-
ter very much whether the secre-
tary OF the Rhodes Scholarship
Trust is able to devise a scheme that viii
secure better selections OF Rhodes schol-
ars from the United States in the future.
For the fact must be faced that the
war has already done so much TO bring
the two English speaking nations to-
gethcr that the scheme of Rhodes, which
already had failed to do what he aimed
a. in peace, cannot possibly survive in
its original form II it Is to be of any
possible educational use to the coun-
tries concerned Naturally those en-
gaged in administering any trust are
the last to admit that the idea OF the
decedent was impractical. So one hardly

ThousAnSs Of students "Cheated."
The foundation OF the revolt against
tho classics Is a widespread indignation
at being cheated. Hundreds of thou
sands OF students have spent the major
part OF their studying time for years
upon two languages with the implicit
understanding that they would finally
have Access to two great civilizations
through reading the records in the orig
inal tongues. They paid the price in
time and energy and at the end they did
not get what they had paid for. They
could not read Latin and Greek or could
not read either with such a degree of
ease or pleasure as to induce 2 per osnt.

say. and the inevitable revolt came.
When the night was on they did what
all belhgerents are tempted to do, they
annexed many additional grievances and
laid hold on all the weapons within their
reach, but the fact remains that they re-
volted because they mad been cheated.
Everyone must admit that for the pro-
fessionSl scholar OF language or or the
antique civilizations the ma stertng or the
tongues is essential to thoroughness ard
to self-respect. Let US continue by all
means TO insist on this so that the pros
pective scholar may begin his laborious
task In time. But let US be clear tnat
within the select group of the college
trained this is the necessary equipment
Of still more select group. and do not
let US pretend that man cannot be
cultivated without an accomplishment
that most cultivated men will confess
they do not possess. '.s. o.
Having been, ! hope, quite clear on
this matter OF the linguistic mastery
OF Latin and Greek let me hasten
TO add that 1 am profund be-
lever In the classics. I am prepared
to maintain that knowledge OF Greek
and Roman literature and civilization
should be part Of any broad scneme
or cultural education: that such a knowi-
edge 10. with one possible exception. the
most necessary part. That exception IN
Hebrew literature and civilization. But
the teachers OF this subject have never
forbidden us to read the Bible or study
the history OF the Israelites until we
had mastered their language. The par
rier which has shut off generations OF
students from a knowledge Of classical
civilization has been the classical teach
er's infatuation for the subjunctive The
deadly enemy of the classics is not
science, or mathematics, or modern lit

is linguistic fanaticism, the insistence
that no one shall enter these fair do

language.

GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE.

''The old. familiar wish rings true.
A Happy New Year, friends, to you."
A man who keeps up the custom of
sending New Year cards to his friends
included this year a second card bear
ing these words:
INSTEAD of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good; to say
nothing ill of others; to act kindly
even with dumb animals.
''Live thus one day, two days, or
more, and compare the state of your
mind with its state in former days.
Make the attempt and you will see
how the dark, evil moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased.
MAKE the attempt, and you viii see
that the gospel of love brings the
greatest and most desirable of all
things"
On these cards is written, This is
Tolstoy's advice. 1t is good to pin on
a calendar where it will be seen every

BERRY ACREAGE
STEADILY DECREASING

Fruit growers, market gardeners
and owners Of small farms are urged
by Secretary Cranefield Of the State
Horticultural Society to plant more
strawberries next spring.
A survey of the state shows that
the berry acreage has decreased
steadily in Wisconsin for the past
ten years and rapidly for the past
five years until now it has reached
the vanishing point.
What makes the situation more
serious from the standpoint of the
consumer is that similar conditions
seems to prevail in Illinois and
Michigan markets.
Secretary Cranefeld urges fruit
growers to increase their acreage
ard advises owners of small farms
where dairying is not the principal
business to plant strawberries and
raspberries. Strawberries yield
full crop one year from planting,
raspberries require two years.
The profits will be in proportion
to the amount Of skill and labor used
in growing and marketing. Five
acres of strawberries and five acres
of raspberries may easily yield net
returns greater than any 100 dairy
or stock farm
Questions concerning the culture
of berries. soil, varieties, ETC., will
be answered free Of charge by ad-
dressing Secretary State Horticul-
tural Society, Madison, Wis.
The Horticultural Society will also
send a practical fruit grower to any
community on petition of six or
more people who actually want to
to engage in the work, to offer sug-
gestions and advice. 1.-THE need Of
an increased acreage of berries is
urgent. Prices are good and are
apt to remain so.
The Annual Convention and Fruit
Show of the State Horticultural
Society will be held in Madison Jan.
8 go
The fruit exhibit will be staged
in the main corridor Of the Capital
Building.
Papers and addresses by leading
fruit and flower growers, profession
al and amateur, will feature the
Convention.
All sessions Of the Convention are
open to the public.
