WomeniS College Notes
BY RUTH 4 NNE RUSSELL


Each individual is really light
under a bushel The bushel must be
lifted before the light can shine. 1t
is the duty Of the college girl to keep
in touch with her community and
give It the benefits which she is re-
ceiving. only as the small towns are
strong and good will the State and
the nation be strong and good. After
Miss Clark's talk. she was enter
tanned at dinner by the Social Ser
vice Committee OF the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Roberta Burton, "a, is chair
man OF this committee.
After dinner on Thursday evening,
Miss Ethel Baer, the head OF the
Home Economics Department Of the
University OF Pennsylvania, address
ed the Home Economics Club on the
subject Of "Liberalized Arts" Miss
Baer began her talk by saying that
after women had proved their brain
power equal to the brain power Of
men. they found that the course OF
study which they were following did
not suit their needs. Eventually
about so per cent. Of the women be-
come home-makers. and as a result
OF the desire OF these women Home
Economies was introduced. Miss
Baer then told the girls what courses
she considered essential in a college
course. four years OF college Eng
/ lish. a study OF the classics. though
not necessarily in the originals all
the sciences. chemistry. physics, hi
ology, bacteriology, psychology; his
tory. sociology. economies fine arts;
cooking and sewing with nutrition
I and textiles taking the place of too
technical work Miss Baer did not
believe in requiring girls to study
I higher mathematics II every girl
should take such a csurse she would
develop into a broad-minded. cul-
tured and al the same time an ef-
fcient and practical woman.
The first aid class met again on
Thursday evening. The June bugs
which have come before their time
almost broke up the meeting but DR..
Shields and the girls vanquished the
bugs
Miss Clark spoke again in chapel
on Friday morning She began by
saying that Americans seemed 10
have almost gone crazy on the sub
ject Of speed and bigness. The de-
sire to do something big in a big
place was shown by the westward
| immigration. when western land
/ ceased to be free. a great safety
valve went out of American life.
/ Great cities have been the develop
ment OF only few years. Great
cities are not broadening. In the
city one may live with those whom
ne likes. In a small town one must
live with his neighbors. Neighhor'
are always cut on varying patterns
All types Of people can be met il
the small town. Being broad mind
4 ed OF narrow really lies In the persol
, himself. He can be marrow In IN
city and be acquainted with IN
: whole world though he live In
, country town. College people are al
ways expected to be leaders. The
must go back 70 rhe small towns an,
help them TO be great in spirit. Th'
. future OF America lies in the smal
town and the rural districts. Bl
living a vision and by always believ
ing In and trying TO bring out th'
best in people those who go back tc
the small towns may help 70 bring
out the great America which oul
country Is destined TO be.
