was training the women to work: she arranged for someone to care for their children while they worked; she treated

with gentleness and generosity the men over fifty; she provided automobiles to carry those who lived far away to the place of work, and so on. And if we know that Egypt alone consumed, in 1929, half a million Lebanese lira's worth of tomato sauce; that it sent an expert to Italy who bought the machinery needed for a factory to press and pack this variety; and that it first planted the Watarbiuti variety imported from England, then saw that the Italian varieties — 30 to 49 varieties — were better, and took from them: if we know this, we understand why California today celebrates a woman who furnished

the country with a fortune and changed the face of California.

New England

Bennington College for women in New England, in the northeastern United States, is preparing to cel-ebrate its twentieth birthday. This college is unusual in its program. Its founding was conceived by school headmistresses, members of the state board of education, and the fathers of girls who had reached the age of college study and were not satisfied with the kind of education then to be found there. Committees were formed, plans and projects were drawn up, and counsel and help were asked of everyone with an interest in this field; and thus Bennington College for women was founded. At the college there are no set courses that the student must complete in order to obtain the academic degree; rather, she obtains that degree when she proves her excel-lence in a principal field. The girl is thus responsible for choosing the program, which she builds on the basis of her own interests and gifts and her plans for the future; and when she has drawn up her program, she goes to her own adviser at the college, who helps her carry it out. The college offers the girls the study of the natural sciences, such as physics, biology,

and chemistry; or the arts, such as painting, sculpture, music, acting, and dance; or literature, history, political science, psychology, and other subjects.

Thus the college proceeds on the basis of an individual education

that keeps pace with the times and rests upon the needs and interests of the students themselves; and when one of them finishes her studies, she goes out into the world
