sengers DR.. Grace NJ. Bacon, associate
professor OF German at Mount Holyoke
College, who Is one OF the workers sent
overseas by the Alumnae Association OF
the college. The Zeppelin is one Of the
ships surrendered to the Allies by the
Germans, and this was It's third trip
across the ocean as transport. Among
the passengers were the officers and
crews Of the N. C.-l, 3 and 4, as well
as fifty French brides OF American sol
diers.
Miss Bacon told Of her experiences
abroad at q South Hadley community
picnic held on Friday, July I. on the
college campus. She sailed In Septem-
Der, and for six months she was en-
gagged in refugee work under the direc-
ton Of the Red Cross. Her first impor-
tant piece OF work was at Saint Nazaire.
at the mouth OF the Loire, where she,

workers sent out by the Mount Holyoke

From Saint Nazaire Miss Bacon was
sent to Anglers, an interesting old town
situated at the junction of the Maine
and Loire rivers. In the department to
which Anglers belongs there were $4,000
refugees. 5000 of whom we're in the city
itself Some of these refugees came to
the Red Cross for clothing; some came
for food, such as sugar-a much priced
article-condensed milk. flour and vari-
Gus kinds of dried vegetables; some
came to buy furniture, which was sold
to them at cost and in cases where
they could not buy, It was loaned. Per-
haps the most interesting part OF the
work done at the bureau was done In
the "vestiaire," wherN the garments
sent by the women OF America were
given to the women and children who

~ TOT only has the Great War has
M tened changes In the curriculum
OF colleges and universities and
emphasized tho need OF more serious
work by the undergraduates. but II also
has given an added impetus to new meth
DDS OF instruction and types Of education.
Roger w. Babson. the business
statistician, has given his name and
ideas Of q business education for poten-
tial executives to . school opening In
September. Mr.. Babson says:
FOR O number of years have been
conscious OF q gap in our educational
scheme which seriously handicaps busi-
ness men on the lookout for young ex-
ecutives with their enthusiasm, initla-
tive and endurance, and Affects. perhaps,
moro vitality the young man who through
inheritance or other circumstances will
soon occupy position Of large response
billty In industry or finance,
II believe that the ideal education for
young men entering business Is four
years at college and then two years at

Of business administration, especially II
the student wishes TO become an expert
In one OF the many lines offered by
these schools; but what about the boy
who for ono OF the several good reasons
cannot spend four years acquiring a
cultural education before getting his
practical training7 What of the young
man who wants a year or two Of in
tensive instruction In the fundamentals
of all departments of business as a
preparation for executive responsibility !?
ct Is to help this class OF men that
we are starting Babson Institute at
Wellesley Hills, Mass, with rather
unique methods Of instruction, as the
school will give an academic training
by business principles, with but one
test applied to all We do. That test is.
Is this of practical help In developing
broad gauge. clear thinking, keen execu-
| tives?.'"
One of the unusual methods OF the
school will be the use by the students
of debating machines or stenographers
for all the written work and examlna-
tons. This will develop a facility in
expressing thoughts on paper by busi-
ness methods generally attained only
after q number Of years in actual COM
mercial life.
All classes will be small enough &c
make practical the discussion method
of teaching rather than the lectures
Upsual in higher educational Institutions
This is primarily to develop the stu
dents ability to think clearly and speaf
convincngly, as he will later be called
on TO do in business conferences and be-
| fore boards of directors or committees
The intensive two years course is de-
signed to give the student who has tn,
