Bryn Mawr Again
 Open to Workers

The Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry opens June I4th and offers for sec
 ond summer eight weeks of study to 100 women workers. All trade union ists realize that it is essential for
 women workers to be informed and
 educated and that their leadership
 should be developed to work side
 by side with the men. The women
 workers who have been accepted
 come from 2I trades, including mill inery, neCkwear, Corsets, shoes, gloves, printing, electricity, candy, automobiles, watches, paper boxes, laundry, coap, tobacco, etc. Although the majority were born in this coun- try, there Is at least one student from each of the following countries: Rus sia, England, Poland, Germany, Hol- alnd, Hungary, Austria, Lithuania, Rounlania and Sweden.
 The cost of the eight weeks, in clud1ng instruction, room and board, medical treatment, recreation, IS $2oo. Those students who can, pay toward this sum but the rest is covered by a scholarship granted each student All students sacrifice their wages while absent from work. In most cases jobs are held open for the workers return but some must even return and find a new job. This proves that women workers are ready to meet any and all sacrifices and hardships for the sake of an education.
 The money for the school is raised in small amounts among friends who believe in workers education. Rail- road locals, textile locals, Women's Trade Union Leagues, etc, have gen erously helped by voting financial assistance or have given benefits to raise money to establish scholarships for members of their groups in at tendance.
