LAND ARMY CALLS
FOR VOLUNTEERS
State College to Furnish Unit
Miss Stevens, a Senior from
Barnard College, addressed the
student body last Friday morning,
in behalf of the Woman's Land
Army of America. She described
the sort of girls needed, and the
kinds of work they will have to do,
by relating some of her own interesting experiences on farms,
last summer.
The Land Army needs forty
thousand farmerettes.
It also
needs girls who can cook and
girls who can run cars. College
people are especially in demand
because of the fact that college
spirit creates eut'iusiasm whercever it goes.
A "unit" consists of a group ol
girls living together under the
supervision of a House Mother.
They arc hired out daily lo the
farmers in the vicinity and arc
carried back and forth in Fords,
every morning and evening. Each
farmerette receives fifteen dollars
a month besides living expenses.
Miss Stevens explained
that
while the girls might get very
tired at first because of tihe hard
work, they would soon obtain added strength and joy in their
labors.
Her unit, last summer
had to clean, up the house and
other buildings in which they were
to be quartered. The corn crib
made a very comfortable room for
four—except when it rained, The
girls knew little about agriculture
at first, but they soon learned that
vegetables generally grow in rows,
weeds grow anywhere, snakes are
valuable to farmers, cows must be
milked at regular intervals and
hens lay only one egg a day. They
hoed potatoes, cultivated, picked
fruit, cut and shocked corn, and
did all tihe work that a rr hired man
would do except niowin and feeding the silo. The girls in this
group called the Bedford Unit
also had quite a bit of unique excitement over the fact that some
of their neighbors thought them
to be from the Bedford Reformatory.
Women can do farm work, and
have done it abroad for some time.
The question is whether the
American women will get busy
and make a success of it.
H. E. Department to Support
Movement
Miss Van Liew then assured
the students that she would stand
back of this work. She believes
that it is of particular interest to
H; E. girls in that they may help
the nation and gain valuable experience at the same time.
The girls interested were asked
to see Miss Stevens and Miss Van
Liew and discuss the "roposition
of having a State College Unit.
Surely our College wll be as well
represented in this war activity as
it is in all others.
The News offers it.j congratulations to the professors who have
received in the form of a slight increase in salary, state recognition
of their efforts. This has been
done by a recent act of the Legislature.

ARTICLE BY MISS CLEMENT PUBLISHED BY INDUSTRIAL ARTS MAGAZINE
Miss Clara Clement, assistant in
art work to Professor Eunice A.
I'erine, has had her Master's thesis
printed in the Industrial Arts magazine for April. Miss Clement
may well feel honored that a publication of highest rank in its
field should use her work. It is
of interest to note that the thesis
was very much the product of her
work in methods class under Miss
I'erine.

Utopian Democracy
Professor Kirtland, In Seventh Democracy Lecture,
Pleases Large Audience
Professor Richmond H. Kirtland, head of the English Department,
presented
the
seventh
lecture of the Faculty scries last
Friday afternoon in the auditorium. Always a favorite speaker
with the students and with the
Capitol District public, he was
greeted by a large and attentive
audience. In his usual forceful and
pleasing manner
he discussed
Democracy as it is, as the Utopian
would have it, and brought out
clearly the lessons of the great
war.
In opening his speech, he said:
" We have little heart, now, for the
discussion of ideal democracy as a
thing remote; while the very existence of free institutions is in
hourly jeopardy; while the future
of liberty depends on the part
America plays by deed of hand,
not by word of mouth; while fellow-kindness is once more before
Pilate, and we must all prove or
deny disciplcship, it seems an idle
thing to give hour upon hour to
mere words.
We would hurry
from this place of discussion if we
knew where to make deeds outweigh speech.
" Yet we have faith that the
British line will hold; faith that
where Frenchmen stand, the Germans shall not pass; faith that to
the dauntless heroism of the
Briton and the Gaul shall be
added, before it is too late, the
dominant note of a conquering
third. Only such faith can justify
our present academic use of time,
our attempt to look beyond war,
seeking to formulate a few of those
principles of change which events
arc thrusting upon us.
"In this tranquil place, removed
from the strain of compulsory
choice between ways of life and
death, harsh judgments, are unbecoming,— notably in •thgijfface of
so great a national achievement of
solid results wliere .all was to
learn, all to plan, allHo be done.
The criticism of America \>y Americans must look constructively
forward. If we attempt to cauterize our faults, it must be for prevention and cure."
In consideration of war's inroads
upon democracy, the speaker continued: "War's one lack, as we
have already known it, and as our
Allies have suffered through it for
more than three years, has been the
lack of concerted leadership and
concerted policy. Only under fierce
impact of a final German drive has
a commander-in-chief of Allied
armies been chosen.
American
leaderships found itself compelled,
or thought itself compelled, to
wait more than two ' neutral'
years while the popular will
hardened for war.
Those two
years have cost civilization dear!
We arc told that debates resembling those of happier times delayed
the choice of machine guns for
almost a year; it took nearly an
equal time to prove to our biased
judges that French 75'sare the most
effective guns of their class in the
world; we have held that American motors must drive American
planes; for this, and certain other
reasons, we have as yet contributed
little to the air service, beyond a
vicious speeding of German construction. The competitive, government-hampered system of railroad management, the individualistic control of food supplies,
through supply and demand, alike
broke down early.
"Our reactions from such costly
inefficiencies as these have brought
great changes, all in the direction
of unit control for unit purpose.
Plainly, when a democratic nation
approaches the climax of a gigantic
war, national democracy, at least,
becomes Utopian, a thing of
dreams.
It may be doubted
whether America has yet muddled
her way through to any clear conception of the size of the job in
hand. We do not even know what
arc the resources at hand; we have
no adequate industrial census; we
have permitted or required half a
million young farmers to enter the
army and navy, and have enticed
as many more away from the farm
by our ill-advised handling of
wages in factory work; we have
not attempted a reasoned distinction between and among the necessities of peace, the comforts of
peace, the luxuries of peace, and
the requirements of successful
war."
Professor Kirtland then took up
the discussion of the lessons of
war, by asking whether we are to
admit that democracy is unsafe;
that only the strong arm avails;
that equality is only a dream; that
the will of the people is a myth;
that society always has been and
always will be made up of leaders
and the led; and whether we shall
confess that the primal instinct for
war survives yet,— that a healthy
young man loves war, even this
war,—even this war more than all
others. His summarizing query,
" shall we therefore say, back to
the good old days of each man for
himself, and the devil take the
hindmost, only let us keep a good
army and navy, and a better lookout when the next war comes?"
With the statement " Democracy
is unsafe in any nation which holds
aloof, seeking its own ends, ana
giving only where it may expect
return with interest. That nation
is unsafe which remains unforewarned, incredulous, unprepared,"
the speaker proceeded to name
several of the lessons of this war.
Among these were listed (1) the
necessity of the unity of all peoples
for neutral defense and service;
(2) the need for general disarmament; (3) the need for even terms
of trade and intercourse; (4) the
need for regulated, non-individualized management; (S) the necessity
for economic system; (6) that we
consider "office" no longer simply
an honor, but a grave duty; (7) the
need to teach broadly effective
citizenship; and (8) the need of a

STUDENT CO-OPERATION NEEDED
How many of the student body
ever stop to think of the enormous
amount of work that has to be
done by the Faculty in order that
everything may run smoothly?
Very few, sad to say! Well, think
about it now—and keep thinking
about it 'hard for the next couple
of weeks. Read the official notices
on the opposite page, and on the
bulletin board! Learn thcml Show
the Faculty your appreciation of
all their untiring work, by carrying
out promptly all the instructions
received from headquarters.
WAR WORK AND FUN
"I'm having too good a time for
war days," a girl said guiltily
yesterday. And don't you have to
admit she's very nearly right?
Isn't there something about the
good fellowship of Red Cross service that brings college nearer and
leaves you with a warm sense that
you are working for the cause?
It raises your self-respect. You
grin across a tableful of gauze, and
exchange gossip for an hour,_ and
then settle down to psych with a
positive thrill. There's a satisfaction in "stamping out the Kaiser"
with the quarter we could have
spent on movies or car fare, and
most of us enjoy "tooting the 'toot'
in substitute," for the war breads
are unexpectedly delicious. And
we sometimes stop to wonder, as
we "knit two, purl two," if we
aren't really having the time of our
lives, instead of shouldering a
man's job.
To most of us the sufferings of
war are only rumors. We want to
feel the burden — to do something
vaguely big. And how we hate all
that talk about the "only-standand-waiters." We tramp streets
after the elusive Loan, and long to
tire ourselves out with endless
hours of weeding and hoeing, We
worry over intricate bandages and
wish we were at the front applying
them.
For we're having such a wonderful time getting together and knowing people, that it doesn't seem as
if we could be doing so much that
we are really indispensable. But
it is true that we are. America
can't get along without us, Let's
not feel guilty, then, but make the
most of the happiness that comes
from helping. Our turn is coming
lor more conspicuous work.
B, AT,, '20.
ECHO ELECTIONS
Do you think it's just that elections to "The Echo" board should
lie by vote of the student body?
True, "Tiie Echo" is for all of the
students, but do the rank and file
of. readers know who can do the
best work, who have the most
literary
ability?
How
many
students think of this when they
vote? "The Echo" is our_ only
literary production, and election to
the board ought not to be by popularity, social standing, class politics, sorority spirit, or any other
superficial consideration.
Since
the only way of determining real
merit is by actual work, why not
institute a system of " try-outs"
similar to that used by the "News"
last fall when new members were
chosen for the board? At that time
several people tried out for the
board and had the satisfaction of
feeling that the probability of
aDpointnient rested on their own
fitness for the position. Our literary publication cannot in the
broadest sense be representative of
our college unless it represents the
best talent, and ability in the college. So why not election by trial
rather than by unrestricted vote?
—A Member of the Board.
To the Owners of Liberty Bonds:
Something has come to my
notice recently that I think should
be brought to the attention of all
those who have bought Liberty
Bonds—especially the organizations. Everyone at some time
must ask himself just which one of
the various needs for money he
shall respond to. Most of us can-'
not respond to all. Here is a
chance bv which money may be
civeti to help win the war and to
feed those whom the war has made
destitute at the same time.
Give your Liberty Bonds to the
American Committee for Armenian
and Svrian Relief. These bonds
willp then be used as security
against drafts drawn and used for
food in Western Asia. Think it
over, and then act!
There is one very important organization in this country whose
work seems to be little understood
or appreciated by the world at
large—the
Consumers'
League.
One part of its work is that in
which its influence is exerted to
"boost" laws which will benefit
labor conditions, and prevent the
passage of those which would be
decidedly non-beneficial.
Due undoubtedly to the fact
that women now have political
power, the Assembly, in its closing
hours, after a bitter light on the
part of the opposition, passed the
tVicoll Messenger Service Bill,
94-10. This bill, which had the
support of most of the prominent
women's organizations, including
the Consumers' League, New York
State Woman Suffrage
Party,
Council of AVomen's Organizations,
Women's
City
Club,
Women's Municipal League and
the Women's Republican Club,
prohibits the employment of girls
under 21 years of age as messengers; for women over 21 years of
age it limits employment to 6 days
a week, 9 hours a day and prohibits
their working between 1.0 p. m, and
7 a. m.
The bill, although opposed : by
tlie messenger service companies,
passed the Senate early in the
week. It crime up for vote in the
Assembly late Friday night, and,
due to the lateness of the hour and
amidst muoh confusion, the opposition through Assemblyman Welsh
carried a motion to recommit the
bill. A motion immediately made
to reconsider the vote was lost and
the bill was considered dead for
ibis session.
Not to be easily defeated, Miss
Jane Fiiiciis, Executive Secretary
CAMOUFLAGE
Quoted from the bulletin board:
"Invitation cards given out Thursday at lunch hour by Minerva."
For the Newman dance, you know.
What are Minerva's office hours,
anyway?
I have always liked English before,
Even Hunk for a theme overdue;
But L never knew what English
was
'Till I "undertook" English II.
Dr. Hastings (in Eng. Lit.)—
"Miss H—n, when were Tennyson's best works written?"
Miss H—u—"Before his death."
We learn many other surprising
things in Eng. Lit. H. R, informed
us the other day that Lamb, beside
all his other misfortunes, was
engaged!
Heard on a Street Car Recently
Young Man (speaking to conductor)—" Where do we go to find
the Ladies' College?"
Conductor—"Get off at Robin
Street."
A HOPEFUL MOMENT
It is well to remember, when our
war worries seem almost more
than we can bear, that Tennyson
almost a hundred years ago
looked far into the future and saw
not only this great war with "the
nations' airy navies grappling in
the central blue," but saw also the
time when the war-drum should
throb no longer, and there should
be a "Parliament of Man, the
Federation of the World." When:
"The common sense of most shall
'hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
lapped in universal law,"
of the 3:-ite Consumers' League,
who was Leading the fight for the
bill, started action to get the Committee on Rules discharged, On a
roll call such a motion was sustained late on the closing day of
the session and the committee was
discharged by a vote of 79-23.
This is said to be the first time
the Rules Committee has been discharged since 1912. The women
won out on the final roll call,
94-10.
Upon
being asked whether
women received more consideration this year from the Legislature
than in oreccding years, Miss Pincus said: "There was a marked
/thange in the treatment of women
this year at Albany. Our Representatives were much more approachable and we were able to
talk to them on a different plane.
"We found that they were eager
to know how women felt about
certain bills and wanted to know
of the action taken by women's
clubs. Despite the fact that there
was a recognized unwillingness on
the part of the Legislature to pass
any new measures, we were able
to pass the messenger bill against
great opposition and were able to
defeat three vicious bills breaking
down the restaurant law. Behind
the Soule restaurant bills, extending the closing hours for women
in restaurants from 10 p, m. to
1 p. m„. was the lobby of the New
York State Restaurant Association
and only the active opposition of
women's organizations to any
breaking down of our present
standards prevented the passage of
these bills. Considering the onslaught that has been made this
year on labor measures, we feel it
was an accomplishment on the part
of the women to have retained on
the statute books our present
laws."
A THOUGHTFUL
MOMENT
Chance
The massive head is bent over an
old book.
The candles show the features of a
seer.
This man has poise and power. A
seeking look
Proves that no sluggish peace is
harbored here.
Some crude idea from a careless
phrase
Seized by his master mind grows
great.
His face is tense,
He lifts his head, and turns his
gaze
Upon the glowing center of the
candle flame,
As in its fire gather all the rays,
So now the ideas of a lifetime concentrate,
For one still wondrous moment,
like a god,
He knows; he understands.
Flutter of soft brown wings before
the point of light,
In through the lattice, out into the
night.
The man is only man again, his
glance
Followed the little bat a second;
now the flame
Brings no recall of his high
moment.
"By chance we gain," he sighs,
and lose by chance."

new school discipline, having
culture and efficiency its aim,
Perhaps the best liked and most
appealing part of the lecture came
toward its close. We quote the
last two paragraphs in full:
"The paganism of Germany does
less harm in its conscription of
God to be the devil's pander, than
in its uplifting of beastly power
and its overthrow of the pitiful
privilege all we mortals need of
making the most of our sunshine
and brooks, clouds and trees,
flowers and birds, books and
friends, while they and we last.
i
"In the end, it is true that
remedies of law and economic
organism can only palliate the disease of our body politic, for our
ailment is of the mind, We are
needing once again the same old
gospel of Galilee, stripped of the
credal complexities, which unfit it
for our time, made again of and for
the simple flesh to dwell among
men."
