Delinquency Not
Bred In Schools
The war-induced charge that
public schools are largely respon
sible for the current wave of juv
enile'delinquency was repudiated
tqday by Dr. C. O. Williams, .as
sociate processor ,of .education at
tlie College, \yho said that schools
ar.e. merely, sharjng jyith other
social agencies the results of a
liberal ' American philosophy
“which .is basic to democracy.”
Dr. Williams, ,wiho is in .charge
of. teacher placement, admitted
that “progressive” education , is
designed to encourage greater
; freedom and self-dependence in
pupils than the old-style formal
discipline, and argued that' this
“expression of freedom” is pound
to lead some boys and girls astray,
. “War has only served to em
phasize," he said, “the American
ideal in the integrity, and w.ortli-.
whiteness of the individual. Young
taught that individual liberty is
the essence of democracy, and
that that is what their ■ fathers
and brothers are fighting to keep.”

'ladies In Retirement' Proves Good, Bod
. By B. J. CUTLER
Penn State -Players’ version of
“Ladies in- Retirement,” its first
show of the ' summer semester,
presents a difficult problem for
a .reviewer. In view of Players’
limited objective—to provide en
tertainment, since a talent-deplet
ed campus makes a quality dra
matic production an improbabili
ty—the play was well done.
However, criticised from a
purely dramatic standpoint, with
out considering the difficulties
confronting this producing group,
‘Ladies In Retirement” was pre-

Educational Boom
Return of Veterans
To Require Expansion
'Return of “educationally con
scious” veterans will bring a
boom in American education aft
er the war, in the opinion of Dr.
M- R. Trabue, dean of the .School
of Education, who recommended
early expansion of school and col
lege facilities to meet this de
mand. ,
“With all branches of the ser
vice stressing educational prepa
ration, and ' training for a spe
cific job, there -is no question
that veterans will 'be highly con
scious of education’s role in the
postwar world,” Dr. Trabue said.
The men will return, he added,
.conscious n,ot .only of their own
peed for additional training but
determined also that their chil
dren shall have greater educa
tional., opportunities. The “G. I.
:J3ili .of Rights,” fye observed, has
.contributed to this conviction by
offering- postwar educational op
portunities to a.H veterans.
Most veterans, Dean Trabue be
-Uev.es, will want-their education
in “quick, doses.’ 1 To meet this
demand for' intensive training—
and to permit them to combine
education with home life, and in
some cases, a job—he advocates
establishment of training centers
ip local communities.

sented disappointingly.- Its cast
did not give a consistant perfor
mance. In spots the acting was
good, the action was picked up
and sustained in a gripping man
ner; at another ppint in the play
the acting would suffer as the
cast lost its hold on the story, al
lowing the plot to drag.
Perhaps the' best .acting on the
stage was done by Verna Sevast
in the role of 'Ellen Creed. Play
ing h,er part with restraint, and
nevertheless transmitting to the
audience the terror and emotion?

Miss Sevast seemed both well cast
and directed.
Bernie Lerner in his first ap
pearance oh the Players stage
portrayed the'difficult role’of Al
bert with the proper animation
and faint overtones of disaster.
Handicapped by an accent that
wavered from Cockney to Ameri
can he managed to give an inter
esting interpretation of a part
upon which a large portion of the
play’s suspense rested.
. It was disappointing to see An

good shows in comedy roles for
Players, as Leonora Fiske. Lab
oring against what appeared to
be a miscasting, Radle performed
fairly well with- a creditable a

Dealing With’Blitzed Areas
Just how much damage Lon

photographs of bombed areas
featured ip the Library this week.
This exhibition of "Blitzed Ar

Dean Qf Women Has
Famous Photograph ,
On the: west wall in the outer
office of the Dean of Women
hangs a photograph of the Alice
Freeman Palmer Memorial which
was sculptured by Daniel-Chester
French, one of America’s foremost
sculptor’s.
It portrays a woman pointing
out the path towar.d learning to a
young school girl and symbolizes
Mrs. Palmer’s efforts to gain high
er education for woinen. The ori
ginal, modeled in arrara marble,
hangs in the entrance of the Chap
el at Wellesley .College.
For the past ten years, Charlotte
E. Ray, dean of women, has been
trying to- purchase a sculpt model
of French’s work. Finding none
available, she recently consented
to the purchase ) .of the photo
graph. Dean Ray, as other educa
tors, values this allogory not as a
work of art, but for' its symbolic
meaning.
Wesley Foundation Holds
Racial Panel Discussion
“Inter-racial Understanding” is
the subject .of the panel to be
discussed Sunday in the Student
Fellowship hour at the Wesley
Foundation.
Ann Berkheimer and Jason
Fritzinger will take part. The
same topic was discussed, last
Sunday when Anna Atkins from
North Carolina gave her point of
view and Ruth . MacDowell gave
the opinion of the Northern ne
gro. - -
the Penn State dramatic family.
While Professor Tucker’s causing
the part of. Emily to be played in
overly heavy dnd morose, bass
voiced manner did not add any
thing to the play, and while “La
dies In Retirement” did not equal
his startling success' pf last sem
ester’s “Claudia,” Professor Tuck
er has again proved hims.eif a
capable director under ' adverse
circumstances.
An intelligent set was designed
for the play by Mrs. Dorothy B.
Scott, and the technical effects by
Miss Grace O. Clayton were han
dled with the customary precision.

to conserve and protect buildings.
Twenty-four pictures comprisu
the exhibition. They are shown
in pairs, one picture presenting
how the building looked origi
nally and the one beside it show
ing the same building after it was
blitzed.
Queen's Hall Wrecked
Queen’s Hall, which since 1093-
has been the scene of symphonies
conducted by some of the most
famous conductors, now resem
bles fi. junk pile. The building
with its neat white awnings, lo
cated op. a street corner which
leads ‘ directly into London’s
swanky West End, has had its
roof torn off completely. Inside,
rows of tiers present a state of
disintegration.
Cold, grey, cheerless, . the
houses along Portman Square
have belied the magnificence of
their interior. The photograph
of Portman House, built by Jamca
Stuart some time before 1760,
shows a spacious room with -pap
ered walls, carpeted floor, and
rich paintings. But the most ex
otic touch is evident .in the ceil
ing, a series of concave curves on
which pictures are painted. • The
blitz photograph shows that tha
ceiling has entirely disappeard*
and the fireplace now overlooks
a mass of debris.
Westminster Not Damaged
In comparison, Westminster
Abbey, whose history goes back
as far as Henry 111, shows -very
little damage. The Gothic ceil
ings and arches are still iritaefc,
although the. floor of the North
ern chamber is ripped. Not too
much destruction, either, has
been done to the Lambert Pal
ace Library. Chairs are turned
over, tables are cluttered with
plaster, a few shelves are torn
away, but the books on the west
side of the room have not been
displaced.
Featherstone Buildings, erected
in honor of Cuthbert Featherston
whose title was “Gentleman Ush
er and Crier of the King’s Bench,”
are a series of low, tightly packed
together offices, most of them
printers’ offices. Blitzed in 1940,
nothing remains of the hpuses on
one side of the street but a brick
wall. ■ <
Debris Covered Pavements
Pump Court, a courtyard of
brick, with a cloister designed
by Sir Christopher Wren at' one
end is the site .of. lawyers’ of
fices. Blitzed picture shows a de
bris-cover.ed pav.ements and some
'destruction of the cloister. The
trees in a row along the center
of the court are still standing.
War has wrought more havoc on
Middle Temple Hall, which looks
like an attic. This is the place
where Shakespeare is supposed to
have given “Twelfth Night.”'
Pictures of the Houses of Par
liament, Kensington Palace, Char
terhouse, St. Lawrence J.ewry, .
and Blackfriar’s total the number
exhibited.
