THE most recent social feature at
the Peddle Institute, Hlghtstown,
N. J., was the annual lnterfra
ternlty prom held In the alumni gymna
sium on the evening of April 28. The fra
ternities of the school, both national and
local, select their respective members to
serve on the various committees of which
the following fraternal organizations
were represented; Alpha Phi, Theta Phi,
Lambda Sigma, Delta Sigma Nu, Phi
Gamma Sigma and Alpha Delta. James
Towart of Montour Falls, N". Y., and
Kenneth Clark of Dcmarest, .N'. J., repre
sents the programme committee; the
refreshment committee consisted of
Charles Brems of West Hoboken, N. J. ;
and Chester Ludlow of Newark. N. J. ;
Smith Anderson of Parkersburg, W. Va.,
and John Chanberlli of Hlghtstown, N.
J., made up the committee on music;
while Foster Jemlson of Princeton, N. J.,
Louis Giorgio of Hartford, Conn., and
Edwin Smith of Newark, N. J., com
posed the committee on decorations. This
prom U but a forerunner of the Junior
Prom, which Is to he given during the
commencement week.
The relay team, under the direction of
Coach John D, Plant, Journeyed to the
Pennsylvania Track Carnival but were
outclassed completely. Fifth place was
the best the pediTie representatives
could make with such competitors as
the Haverford School, Blair Academy,
Tome School, Bethlehem Prep and St.
Benedict's Prep.
During the past week the Peddle base
ball team both lost and won one game
Tlie llrst defeat was administered by the

ten Inning fray, final seore being S to 6
Coach Rogers of the Peddle nine tried
out his two second string pitchers, Cobb
and Brunner, and although the game
wan lout these two players made a
good Impression. The feature of the game
was the hitting of Jefleries, baseball
captain of 1918, who collected three safe
blows, one of which was a clean, hard
drive to deep right Held for tho circuit.
Capt. Reed, in tho seventh Inning, sus
tained u serious Injury In sliding into
second hape. His left ankle was so
badly sprained that ho may not be al
lowed to piny for three weeks. The
pitching of yowfll and the hitting of
Dickie featured for tlie Narberth nine,
On Saturday, following the above con
test, tho Peddle teiini won a clean, fast
game from the DickliHon High School
of Jersey City in a contest limited by
mutual agreement to seven Innings on
account of tho intense cold. The final
score nf 2 to 1 was in Peddle's favor.
Brunner wa on the mound for the home
team and pitched tint entire game, ex

It Is the opinion of conservative but
I progressive industrial executives that the
reconstruction period will not have been
completed until the Industries are (Irm
ly established on n deinocratlcbasl. A
better distribution of created wealth Is
a necessity. To Just what extent the
workers of nn Industrial Institution will
sham in management Im being deter
mined through a series of experiments.
When these experiments have resulted
In new methods In management the pres
ent enormous wastew will largely dis
appear. Encouraging progress hos been
made. Some of the larger corporations
Iiavo been able to reduce their turnover
to n most gratifying degree. Tho re
sults of the Investigators nnd the re
ports of the various committees of this
association are submitted at tho annual
convention.
Representatives from Industrial Inatl
tutloiiH not having membership aro wel
come at the meetings. The movement Is
not subsidized, but depends wholly upon
the annual dues of Its membership for
financial support.
Organized labor and organized capital
have both given encouragement to the
efforts of tho association. Tho head
quarters' nro located at Fifteenth street
and Irving place, New York city.
Most of the progressive nations of tho
world are now represented In associate
membership nnd a nlmllar organization

their support
tended tha Columbia summer session.
This year tho number of Inquiries and
application has already exceeded that
number, according to rrof. James C.
Egbert, tho director.
Attention thla year will bo paid to the
training of moving picture operators, a
branch which Columbia pursued suc
cessfully during tho -war aa a part of the
Government machine. Both men and
women attend the summer session at
Columbia on equal terms and there are
no formal examinations, thus enabling
thousands to Mudy university aibjecta
who othertflte would bo deprived of the
opportunity.
UNIVERSITY OP WISCONSIN.
Madison, Wis., May 3 A round table
discussion of the problems of American
ization work In various Wisconsin com
munities Is one of the special features
of the 1919 summer session at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, which Is being pre
pared by I'rof. D. C. Leecohler, head of
the Americanization work which the uni
versity Is now conducting throughout
tho State.
A course of lectures on Americaniza
tion by Prof. Lescohler and a course In
Industrial service by Prof. J. It. Com
mons will form the background of the
round table. As many of the students
In the discussion will be persons who
have had practical experience In Amer
icanization work their Ideas and plans
will form an Important part of the dis
cussion, and a careful record of their
experiences will be kept.
As this work of teaching English and
citizenship to adult foreigners, as well
as their children. Is one In which com
mon school and vocational teachers are
primarily Interested, Prof. Lescohler Is
laying plans to gather together an en
ergetic .group of teachers and social
hibiting good control and extreme stead
i lnem In the box, especially with men on
; bates. Acting Captain Jeffcrlea held
Brunner up in fine style from his catcJi
I ers position, and also obtained one of
the three safeties registered by his team.
I Peddle's two runs were directly due to
! errors on the part of the Dickinson High
. men. Chamberlln, playing at shortstop
In Capt. Reed'a place, held down the
j position In great shape, as did Mathicws
at second base.
ST. PETER'S WINS DEBATE.
An event of Importance In scholat!c
clr-.Ies took place on Friday evening.
April 25, when the debating team from
St, Peter's High School, Jersey City,
invaded Manhattan, and did not rest
content until by the unanimous decision
of the Judges they were declared victors
over the Regis High S:hool debating
team on the question : "Resolved. That
Immigration of the Forcljn Laboring
CUeses to the United States Should Be
Restricted for a Period of Five Years,
Beginning July 1, 1919."
The affirmative side nf the question
was defended by the Regis High School
debaters. Messrs. Alfred A. Scfienone,
John W. Brennan and John Taylor
Breen, the last named being far famed
for his histrionic abilities, which onl
recently were displayed In his portrayal
of Hamlet. The Regis boys present
ed a strong defense, and to the casual
observer It soemd as though nothing
th.vt the negative might bring forth
could dislodge them from their position.
Having divided the question according to
Its economic political and social aspects,
each debater seemed but to fortify the
al-.;ady strongly Intrenched argument
of l.i collea3ues.
The Jersey school, represented by
Met-ns. Felix E Itepetto. Victor S. Kll
ker py and Joseph A McCole. had a tllt
Iku'u task beforo them, but taking each
argument and attacking It logically.
(Irmly and convincingly speedil) tore
down tho mass of evidence accumulated
by the affirmative and at the same time
built up an Impregnable defense, ehow
Itig clearly that excluding the foreigner
from our (hores ot the present time
could not tut end in economic a well
as coclal disaster. Too much praise can
not be given to these youthful expo
nents of a question that is taxing the
menial abilities of our legislators of the
present lny. a question which Is one of
th . most cerlous problems of tho ero
nomlo conditions developed from the
lio war
In the tlmatlon of the Judges and
of all those prerent St. l'eter's scored
a decisive victory over their rival
Both debating teams. If we might be
llcve the opinion expressed by tho
chairman of the Judges, Hon. Joseph F.
Mu'quci n, evidenced 'he high standird
of nholarshlp nnd facility in public
inieaklug coupled with a remarkable
abll'ty in logical deduction which havo
s- lonj characterized the Jesuit coure
of education.
PRATT INSTITUTE.
On Friday evening, May 9, the Art

Owing to Miss Rathbone's persistent
Indisposition which, though not serious,
preventB her usual activities, Mr. Stevens
had the pleasure of escorting the class
of the Library School on Its Friday visit
to the New York Public Library two
weeks ago.
Every consideration was shown the
class by the authorities of the library,
and all departments from roof to base
ment were Inepected under competent
guidance. The director, Mr. Anderson,
received the class In his private office,
and later was present at the tea served
by the New York Library School faculty
In the absence of the students themselves,
who were away on a similar trip of
library Inspection.
The tea woe also attended by grad
uates of the Library School who were
connected with the Central Building of
the New York Public Library. Their
presence lent much to the familiarity
and ease which made the entertainment
such a refreshing climax of a most en
joyable and Informing visit.
Mrs. George O. Carpenter of St. Louis,
who as Miss Mary M. Douglass was
graduated from the Library School In
1905 and thereafter served a year as
asistant In our children's room, paid the
library a surprise visit recently, coming
with Miss Moore, who was lecturing to
the echool.
