M. C. A, to Graduate Vocational Conducted by Helen H. Fetter. THINK it is very cruel to the young girl of today for peo- ple generally to discuss her and her affairs,” said Dr. Au- relia Henry Reinhardt, when she was in Washington last week. Dr. Reinhard is president of Mills College, Califor- nia, and Is also president of the Amer- fean Association of University Wom- en. She has been connected with the (13 University of Idaho, with the state| normal school of that state and with the University of Ca ifornia in the ca- capacity of teacher and lecturer. Since 1916 she has been president of Mills College for Girls and has had primar- ily to study the young American girl and her problems. In continuing the expression of her views concerning the discussion of the girl of “flapper” age, Dr. Refnhardt said: “The general public and some au- thors have taken the young girl as though she were a finished product and dissected her accordingly. It is the very unfairness of this attitude that I consider cruelty itself. The young girl is in a stage of transition from the ideas and manners of child- heod to the mature thoughts and ac- tions of grown people. Therefore she #hould not be judged, but quiet y in- fluenced by her own' family and stryctors in school to adopt the dig- nity and charm that are rightfully hers. * ok K % R. REINHARDT is very proud of | the girls of Mills College and told enthusiastically of some of the unusual things that they have done. “We have student government at Mills College,” she said. have entire power over the organiz ing of classes, residence ha'ls, grams for public occasions and cam pus life. They have a very active so- efal service organization and during the big fire in the Japanese quarter of San Francisco. they ralsed money toward the clothing of the 1,500 Jap- mnese students stranded without home, clothes or funds, Every girl gave a brand-new garment as well as other things “One of the novel things that the girls of Mills College are doing is to educate a_Greek girl. They pald her €xpen: from Pyritz, Greece, and are payin 1 of her expenses while tak« ing the course at the colleze. They ere planning to take one girl from a different foreign country every four years and educate her at Milis. Of course there are also the twelve for- cign scholarship students from Japan, China, Hawail, France and Russia, too.’ * K ok K IRLS In the east are inclined to think that the girls of the far especlally of California, are in- terested primarily in ranches and mo- tion picture life. Often they do not realize that the educational progress and actual advancement for girls and women in business and political lines i1s as great, and in some instances much greater, than in the more con- servative east. In Washington the high school girls do a good deal of social service work that is very practical and highly com- mendable. The time is close now when the more picturesque part of this kind of work wll be engaged In. Thanksgiving dinners are carried to many poor familles in the District by Washington girls and bundles of clothing, new and neatly mended clean worn thines are includ- ed as well as toys and books for poor chi'dren and those in ‘he local hospi- tals along with Christmas baskets of chee!

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 17.—A new de- partment offering technical and aclen- tific training in home making, child training and soclal service through a special curriculum arranged and administered entirely by women, is being planned for Vassar College, Pres- Henry N. MacCracken told the annual meeting of the Vassar Alumnae today. “The alm of the department will be to bring into the homes of the students the benefits of the great scientific ad- vances which the past hundred years have produced,” the President said. “In the educatfon of men technical and vocational schools have been establish- ed in virtually every fleld of endeavor, while up to the present time the work of training women for their responsibili- ties in rearing children has not been approached in a thoroughly scientific manner." The new courses, he explained, are not designed to produce expert cooks and masters in the art of keeping old furniture looking like new. Rather, the purpose will be to inculcate sound prin- clples of educational methods for chil- dren and to prepare women for “their tremendous responsibilities in shaping the des'iny of the nation through the moral training of the vouns." “Y” GROUPS TO MEET.

The origin of the name was the middle high German “Mahthilt,” which has a literal trans- lation of “mighty in battle” The anclent French version of the name was Mahald and the medleval Eng- lsh, Molde, which gradually changed {nto Mahaud and, later still, became Maude. Today, however, Matilda and Maude are considered generally.as two entirely separate names. { __Because of the meaning of the name { Matilda, the sentiment ascribed to a | BIrl o named, is “ambition and pow- er to succeed.” Her flower is the sturdy fleld poppy that grows among the wheat, a scarlet I | the landscape. e ‘ There are six famous Matildas, all 1of whom lived In the eleventh and itwelfth centuries. There was Matild: queen of Willlam the Conqueror an. daughter of Baldwin, Count of Flan- ders. She died in Normandy in 1083. There was Matilda, born In 1080, who was the first wife of Henry I of Eng- land. She was the daughter of St. Margaret and Malcolm IIT of Scot- | She found the first Austin pri- | lana ory in England in 1108. to be of an extreme'y pious nature and possessed of high intelligence. She was considered as having a great influence on the life of that time. Matilda, the wife of Stephen, King gland, was the granddaughter Margaret. She married Stephen de Blois, nephew of Henry I. who selzed the English erown in 1185. In the civil war which followed the Empress Matilda’s invasion, she took the field in person and. after Steph- en's imprisonment, with the ald of her general, William of Ypres, and some of the citizens. Matilda, Steph- en's wife, drove the empress from London. 'In 1148 she found the hos- pital of St. Katherine by the Tower. There was still gnother Matilda in the same family. She was the daugh- ter of Henry 1 of England and of his first wife, Matilda. She married the German King, Henry V, at Mainz, in 1114, After his death’ she returned to Normandy and in 1126 to England, vhere, two veurs later, she marrled Gooffrey = Plantagenet, 'son of the Count of Anjou. She {t was who was driven out by Stephen's wife and her most notable adventure was her filght with three of her knights at Christmas time from Oxford. Dressed in white the quartet sped across the frozen river and through the enemy camp to safety. Another Matilda was the Countess of Tuscany and ruler of a large part of northern Italy. She was supporter of Gregory VII and other FPopes against the empire. She died about 1115. Then came Matilda, Duchess of Saxony, the third child and eldest caughter of Henry I1 of England and Eleanor or Aquitaine. On February 1, 1168, she married Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and cousin of the fa- mous Frederick Barbarossa. Taken all in a'l, it can be readily seen that Matildas are not the gentle fahby sort of persons that their name might suggest to the present genera. tion. Each of these historic Matildas was a woman of courage, brains and charm—a rare combination. It Is in- deed a name of which any girl might be proud. —— ALUMNt PLAN REUNION.

From the New York Times, New Jersey reports that until a re- !cent rain it had to contend with one of the oddestof fires. a burning farm. Fifteen acres of sod smoldered in .the Willlams brothers' tract west of | Pequannock station, on the Erie Rall- road toward Towaco, and firemen | from Pompton Lakes and Pompton Plaina could not extinguish it. The land burned to a depth of two feet. Bucket brigades sank to their knees in - ashes. The land was i throughout that section of Jersey as | “peaty.” It was called the “Bogan- fly dirt country” by reason of the predominance of bog and fly. || The fire started on a Tuesday and burned steadily until a squall on Fri- Qay. It spread rapidly through the i parched undergrowtn and stole down | the roots. Once the upper earth shell was plerced the fire ate under the surface, “mining” in all directions and battening upon the inflammable peat formation. Flames reached to the height of tall trees, it was sald. Lack of water mains prevented response of fire ap- paratus, but firemen in various towns came. Despite their combined efforts the fire gained and finally so en- croached upon the bufldings that it threatened destruction. Then the rain came. The Willlams brothers compute thelr loss at present acreage quota- tions as about $3,000. —_— A Different Temperament. From the Kansas City Star.

Last Sunday afternoon he had a house- warming in his new studio, at which time he exhibited informally his re- cently completed portrait of the late Justice Nathan Goff, which will be placed in the courthouse, Richmond, Va., and formally unveiled some time this month. The portrait shows Judge Goff in his robes, seated in a high-back. leather-covered mahogany chair in front of a dark blue curtain, beyond which stands a bronze portrait bust of Chief Justice Marshall,_ It is an interesting composition. The figure is well placed, the introduction of the bust of the first Chief Justice, one of Virginia's great sons, is felicitous. Furthermore, the textures are well rendered, and though the portrait was painted from photographs and suggestions by members of the late justice’s family, as a likeness it car- ries conviction. Mr. Comins has in his studio his large Impressive portrait of Ruth St. Denis, and also a large canvas rep- resenting “The Annunciation.” paint- ed in rather a high key and In the spirit of the Italian primitives. His studio, which is of fair proportions, is very simply furnished, but his tower room adjacent is sumptuous in red brocade hangings, Chinese em- broideries and old furniture. In here are to he seen two of his very color- ful and decorative flower paintings, quite in a different vein from his figures and subject pictures. Mr. Comins is a Bostonlan and studied under Denman Ross and at the Beaux Arts In Parls. His sum- mers are, as a rule. spent in Glouces- ter. He is one of those painters who, while Interested In technique, be- lieve that art should express an ldea as well as interpret beauty. He Is represented in the Natlonal Gallery collection by several portrait studies of types of American soldiers taking part In the war. He Is exceedingly versatile and a serlous student of the art of the past, as well as one who likes to make experiments and test out the value of modern innovations. The talk on art which Mr. Comins was to have given at the Arts Club this month has been postponed until January. LR HAT’I‘IE E.

She also painted several very attractive still-life compositions. She Is an excellent colorist and has an unusual sense of decorative values.
