ment. Discussing motion pictures, he ex-
planned the mechanical construction OF
the camera and its actual operation,
while swapping the long strings of films.
He explained In detail how many Of the
puzzling features of motion photography
were made possible by the operator. In
succession he spoke Of the development
Of the lantern slide, the color photograph,
the telephotograph and the microphoto-
graph. Each form of picture production,

SECURE GOOD TEACHERS
BY SYSTEM OF PENSIONS
Views of Dr.. J. McKeen CatteIl
in Discussing Educa-
tionaI Methods.

I'm so far as pension systems are ef-
fective in attracting better teachers and
leading them to do better work they
should be established and supported by
the state There Is no more reason for
leaving our educational system to the
charity and caprice OF miilionadres than
our army or our courts"
Thus DR.. ]. McKeen Cattell. professor
Of psychology in Columbia University,
the honor guest and principal speaker at
the March meeting OF the Federal School
mems Club Of the District, last evening.
adverted to the Carnegie foundation for
the advancement Of teaching.
History Briefly Reviewed.
The history Of the foundation was
briefly reviewed by Prof. Cattell and the
deduction was reached that while Mr..
Carnegie's gift Is a large one and in the
interest of higher education, 1t is not GER
tain that the individual professor is al
ways benefited by it.
The trustees of the foundation. Prof.
Cattell explained, are college or uni
versity presidents They have shown
their human nature plainly, he added. by
retaining their right to retire after TWEEN
ty-fve years Of service, at the expense OF
the professors, and by increasing the
maximum pensions from 5000 to $1,000,
an advantage that operates practically
to their benefit only.

He declared the fund inadequate to
supply a pension system for the United

Carnegie gave the $5,O0O,OOO promised for

need to go in debt 100000 to pay the
pensions it had promised for next year.
