A NEW CHALLENGEOF SOCIAL WORK.

MR. ARTHUR WHITINGTO GIVE RECITAL.

CONVOCATION AFFORDSUNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY.

MRS. TOWSLEY GIVES IN-TERESTING TALK.

Mr. Arthur Whiting, a noted musi-cian, will etve a recital of pianofortemusic, preceded by a talk on the His-tory of the Instrument.Me Whiting is well known through-

out the country as a writer of or-chestral and chamber music, andsongs. His compositions have beenplayed by Boston, Prttaburg and Cm-cinnati symphony orchestras and thewell known Kneisel Quartet.This is one of the choice programs

that the Convocation Committee pre-sents fer the year, and students andfriends of the College are cordially in-vited to hear him in the College Gym-nasium, at 8 P. M, on March g th..xouce the change in hour!

Those who were not in the Gym-nasium on Fr-Ida y evening, February5, to hear Miss Claire Towsley'ssplendid talk on "The New Chal-lenge of Social Work," missed a rareopportunity. Miss Towsley is a mem-bel' of the Charity Organization So-ciety of New York City, organized in1882. Its great object was money re-lief, A t the present time the bigchallenge is to meet the needs of 2,300families; tor this purpose the Societyis asking for a half million dollars.Since the organization was 'Startedthere has been a great change fromsenumentatttvJn relief work to scten-ti.fl.c investigation. During the lastyears there has developed a studied,weu-tboustit- out technique.People used to think that the Social

Service organizations met only theneed of food and rent but now theydeal with many social problems whichthe families cannot solve by them-selves. Through this Chae-lty Organt-zn.tton many supposed criminals 01' un-ruly boys have been touud mentallydeficient or physically drisabled andtherefore not resnonsnne for their be-havior; these are spared harsh treat-ment and are sent to institutions forproper care. Much invaluable aid Isgiven by investigating the causes ofexisting conditions, so that not onlytemporary relief, but lasting resultsmay be affected.The people have initiative and can

do things for themselJ.ves~ but theylack reSOUI'ces. The foreigners haveto face the great problems of adjust-ing themselves to a totally differentstandard of life and ideas, and theycannot do it alone. '1'0 accomplish anyfundamental results, the social workermust study the backgTound of the peo-ple, their customs, superstitions, be-liefs, and interests. Different servicesmust be given different nationalities,for their customs and ideas are alto-gether diverse.Social work is a real live job! A

Social \Yorker must know somethingof law, medicine, reI1l:ion; she mustunderstand psycho-analysis, be ac-quainted with all new ideas; she mustknow the fundamentals of economicquestions. The way to fit herself forthe job, is first, to get training aftercollege in a summer course, second, toline up with some well·recognized or-ganization where she may get practi-cal experience.Miss Towsley spoke of the Junior

Scholarship ~iven to a ConnecticutCollege Junior amon~ other .colleges.The Junior, !:licked by a school com-mittee, will spend the month of ,Julydoing theoretical and practical workunder the auspices of the CharityOrganization Society. It is a marvel~lOllS opportunity for finding out whatyou are fit for and for seeing thingsas they really are,

FREDERICK MONSENSPEAKS.

Convocation Entertaining.

At Convocation on Thursday, Feb-ruary 24th, Dr. Monsen, a scientistand explorer, spoke on "VanishingIndian 'rratrs." Dr. Monsen is a mem-ber of the National Geographical Sur-vey Organization of New York.Before he spoke, Di-. Monsen showed

us, by use of the lantern and screen,some pictures which he himself hadcollected and colored. The picturesgave to the audience scenes of In-dian people and the western country.'I'hey were beautifully colored andvery interesting.Dr, Monsen told some very delight~

ful tales of h~g experiences amongIndian tribes. He touched upon theeducation of the Indians and thework of the missionaries, which as itexists now is neithel' efficient nor use~ful.In the midst of the lecture, the fuse

in the lantern burned out, and as itwas impossible for Dr. Monsen to con-tinue as he had planned, he digressei1from his immediate subject of IndianTrails and related several very amus-ing incidents. His style of lecturingis very informal and delightful, anddespite the fact that the audience didnot hear precisely what they ex~pected, they did hear an extremeiy in-teresting and enjoyable discourse.

HELEN DWELLE WINSPOST OF HONOR.

The members of '22 will be delightedto hear that out of many Harvard andRadcliffe contestants for the positionof designing and painting scenery inthe "47 Workshop," Helen Dwelle wasthe only girl to be admitted., Herrecord was one first award and 'fivehonorable mentions received for stwgesettings done for a play written by aHarvard student.It is no small honor to have been

admitted into this select group. Theclub is an off-shoot of Prof, Baker'sfamous 47 and 47a drama course atHarvard and Radcliffe. The J)layswritten by students taking the course,which show the greatest dramatic pos-sibility are presented on a tiny stage inAgassiz House where vhe author, di-rectors, designers of stage settings, andother members of the club, watch theprogl'ess af the play and give anycriticism they deem helpfUl aQout thestage settings, the acting, the lightingas well as albout the play itself. Theclub is aptly named the workshop sinceno one, no system can create a dram-atist. No one can help 'him as muchas he himself can, but the difficult roadmay be shortened for him, and this the"47 Workshop" tries to do,

HAMPTON INSTITUTESINGS.

WORK OF SCHOOL EX-PLAINED.

Sunday afternoon, February 27, theHampton Quartet appeared at 'Con-necticut. President Marshall presen-ted Mr. Purvis, the fteld secretary orHampton Institute. Mr. Purvis ex-plained that the type of song whichthe qu ar-tet would give was not the jazztype usually attributed to negro music,but the old plantation hymns, songswhose words, which seem rather hu-morous to us, grew from hardship andignorance. Then after the brief expla-nation the quar-tette gave several aelec-trona. They were obliged to stop alltoo soon, in order to allow Major Wash-ington, who is in charge of the 550boys of the Institute, to present hisview of the school. He explained thatHampton Institute comprises 140 butld-ings with 900 r-egutaretudente Twelvedifferent trades, home economics, bus-iness, and teaching are a few of thelines which the Institute includes, Inclosing Major Waahlng ton very strong-ly asserted that the negro is not bad,despite newspaper reports which great-ly magnify the bad deeds of the few,and that the neg-ro asks only a chanceto be honest, a chance to work. achance to be a man and to take hisplace ln' the world as an American cit-izen. Again the quartet sang, and thenMr. Purvis urged that the work ofHa.mpton Institute be recognized asone of the most vitally necessary piecesof work going' on in America. Heclaimed that upon America devolvesthe task of worldng out the race prob-lem of the world and that the Hamptonsystem appears to be the best systemin America fO!' that purpose. In clos~ing the quartet sang "Swin~ Low,Sweet Chariot'" and graciously an-swered to two enoore.s. The songswel'e of such beautiful harmony, thesingers voices so well 'adapted to them,the rhythm so lilting that the quartetwas applauded vigorously, and theaudience still clamored for more whenthe concert came to an end.

CREW CAMPAIGNLAUNCHED.

Dining-hall Stunt,

On Wednesday evening, February23, 1921, in the dining-hall, theFreshmen and Sophomore classeslaunched their Crew Campaign. MissDorothy Wulf, the president of theAthletic Association, gave a shortspeech, appealing to the girls to con-tribute to the fund .. This was imme-diately followed by a singing proces-sion led in and out among the tablesby Diana the cook, impersonated byAlice Ramsey. Diana was followed bythe ingredien ts of a delicious cake, thecake itself, chances, and last but byno means least, the "C. C, Crew," Thegirls formed in line before the fire-place, and, after singing a short crewsong, spelled out their meaning, afterwhich they filed out of the dining·hall.During both dinners, other membersof the two classes scurried among th'e

OUR CAMPUS.Have we ever really appreciated our

campus? Oftentimes it seems that wego about our tasks without any thoughtof the natural beauties that ever sur-raund us. Only those who live Inlandcan really appreciate the river. Don'tyou ever catch your breath at the veryblueness of the river on clear days?Don't you want to stand and stand forhours and just feast your eyes on thecurve of the river around the Island asIt sparkles and glints with a myriadof diamonds? Don't you love to seethe litUe white puff of smoke traiI1nglazily back as the little tra.in across theriver chuggs along? And wouldn't yougive anything to be able to paint andthus keep forever the little red houseand barn perChed saucily on the steepincline, just opposite us, with its win-dows catching and reflecting the glori4aus tints of the sunset? Do you evertake a few minutes to observe how theblue hills and 'Pink sky seem shroudedin a silvery mist?Our hills make wonderful slides after

the snow has fallen in a thick whiteblanket. Movies are absolutely out of itwhen one has tasted the joy and ex·hilaration of a swift ride down thehills of our campus_ Or take Bolles·wood in the spring. If you will onlystore vour mind with visual images ofthe tall trees, the grassy plots 'So in-viting, the dashing little brook, thepatches of blue sky seen through theleafy trees. and the sunbeams dancingon the foliage, you will in later years

say with Haalh t, "Yet will I nn-n tomee in t-hought. 0 eyrvan Dee, In joy,ill yourn, and gladness as nicu thenwerr-.-.' You will nor have wastedyour lime for you will feel mar "inthiS moment ther-e is ttre and food forfuture years."-----LET US DEFINE HONOR!AS members of the Student Govern-

ment Assocta non, each and ever-y stu-dent at Connecticut College is expectedto upno.d the Honor System. As apan ot mat Honor System it is con-steered that a member of StudentOovernment is duty bound to reportanother member's infringement ofStudent Government rules, or to causethe er-r-Ing-one tQ report herself.

xranv avoid this means of supportingthe- law on the theory that, if a studenthas not surnctent honor to report herown wi-ong-dotng', she warrants no COIl-stderuuon under the Honor System,and her case is one to be settled byPublic Opm'on. Others, on the as-sumption that Public Opinion is weak,take it upon themselves to see that theoffenders are punished by some re-strtcrton decided upon by Council.Let us consider this latter group of

Individuals whom, for the sake ofcrearness, we may term "their brothers'keepers," This class may be sub-di-vided into two smatter groups-first,those Who, because of equality of alti-tude toward self and toward neighbor,may be caned the rightful emissariesof Justice; and second, those who lack-illg these qualifications, act merely asnatr-paratvaed WOUld-be emissaries ofJustice.'l'he nrst may 'be set aside without

further comment. The members of thesecond group, while seeming'ly sincerechampions of Honor, aloe en tirely una-ware that, like Charity, Honor ibeg lnsat home. The unjust, unbalanced, blindsense of duty 'Which impels them tosecure confession from and punish-ment for their neighbors neglects tocause any similar insight into theirown affalrs. Is this defective forCe tobe called Honor? And is there no suchinstrument as Conscience to come tothe aid of this <1eformed Sense ofRight? The point is not only, "Do un-to others as ye would be done by," ,but"Do unto yourselves as ye would dounto others.!'The crux of this whole issue lies in

a true definition of the word, Honor.Might it be suggested that, as long aswe make use of the Honor System, weshould do well to embody in our rulessome definite intel'pretatlol1 of theword, Honor, which would do awaywith the various Individual interpre-tallon now confronting us? C. '22,

FREE SPEECH.[The News does not hold itself

sponsible for opinions expressed Incolumn.]

To the Editor:-At C. C.. lately. Student Govern-

ment has made lhe request that thegirls should not wear middy blousesat dinner In the evening, for the col-lege is desirous of making dinners atrifle more formal. Despite the factthat there are girls who do not heedthis request, most of the girls havecomplied with it. Most of them wishto improve their personal appearanceat dinner as well as to improve theappearance of the dining room. ~ow,I suggest. let us by 0.11means supportthis request, and let us further it, bybanishing our "tams." Oh, I knowthat when }'ou read this yOU will behorrified. You are Drobably thinking,"How perfectly idiotic! Why I can'tmanage without my tam." But Ithink you can, and I also think thatyou will enjoy the appearanCe of thedining room much better if you domanage without It. I know how com·fortable and convenient "tams" are.I wear one myself, often. They areeasily donne~, becoming to everyone,light, and appropriate-for campus

At college we want tohave some formality_ 1t is true thatwe are living a free, open life, butsurely we want to tone up a bit andapproach formality for at least onehour during the day. Brilliant redand green "tarns" are bound to de-tract from the touch of rormautvwhich we are trying to obtain. Thisis obvious. Don't you think that wemight sacrifice for just one hour, scmeager a fort as a "tam"?I beg of you to consider this. I feel

confident that if you think about ityou will realize that you are able tocome to dinner without wearing atam.

TOO LATE.Miss Rainy Day sat on the brink of

the dawnAnd frowned in penstve debate.

"Now shall I stay .her-e 0'1' shall 1 godown

And try a Rainy Dav'state.?"

"The earth Is so hard and rbu'm py anddry,

And this 'such a nice, wet oloud-c-And, 0 dear, think of the noisy town

wtth its gloomy, grumbly crowd!"

"And then. it's s-odusty and dirty downuiere--.

Besides, L'r eadly can't see when allmy older sisters have, gone

What they can want wttb me."

So ene sat and sat and sulkbly tihougihtOf what should 0'1' enoutdn't be d-one.

And a.ll the time she sat wdth mer oackTo the face of the rurtous 18un.

Then all at once she made up her mind.But alas! 'twas a second too late,

VINETA.

(From the German).

In the silent depths of the sea,Strains of even, soft and low,

Give words of the wondrous city.O'er which the still waves flow.

In the sunken heart of the foamThe towers stand so grim;

'I'he golden rays of their splendor,By ocean mirrored dim.

A skipper, at twilight, who saw,Those beams glinting far from be-low;

Tn the same enchanted waters,Is waiting their wonders to know.

From the silent depths of my heart,An echo rises above.

It tells of a Long Ago,It sings of undying love.

A glorious world lies thereOn which time's sun can'not fade;

The dear remains o.f Its ruins1n treasured dreams are laid,

Ah I'{Ie! That l too might plunge down,At 11eace in those shadows to rest;

It seems as if angels were calling,"Return to these realms of ~theble'st."
