With the completion of the new
Michigan Central depot, the present
postoffice will probably be relegated
to the position merely or a sub-post-
Office station for the downtown dis
trict. The bulk of the work Of hand
ling mails will be done in the depot
and automobiles will run from there

having the mail go through the down

Mr.. Warren is very hopeful that a

will be early established. And In
fact. representatives OF concerns that
establish tube systems have already
been here to look over the ground
and figure on the expense II is ex-
pected that such service would cost
the postoffice about $4,000 a year.

The mayor is just as strong today

II expect to see Roosevelt uom-

Chicago Educator Believes In

Adjunct To Present Edu-

CHICAGO, May 1S.-Mrs. Ella Flags
Young, noted educator, active advo-
cate, OF new ways to teach, successful
superintendent of Chicago schools,
thinks Thomas Edison's wonderful
plan to teach by moving pictures wise
and practical.
Edison's plan for the adaptation of
the moving picture film to the uses 0f
the public school was printed exclu-
sively In The Times yesterday. His
new educational film has been reduced
TO 80 feet. He proposes 10 teach all
the branches OF study, commonly in-
corporated in the grammar grade and
the high school. by means OF what he
terms the moving picture book"
Discussing the moving picture plan
for the public school, with the cores
pondent of The Times, Mrs. Young
said:
The moving picture film adapted 20
use In the public schools is a practical
means OF teaching children.
1T is good 1t interests. 1t IN

But the motion picture will never
supplant the text book entirely. do
not believe ii would be wise to allow
it to do so.
All tools In workmanship are an
aid. The motion picture is a tool
The day | felt could not have q

The same thing / believe to be
true of the child. II there be nothing

ter, will the child grow strong men,

That which is accomplished by hard
work usually sticksl
"The need of the day In education
is to teach the child how to dig into
the book and get out the real worth
and meaning. The tendency Is to play
on the top OF the contents and not TO
know how to work into Il.
II am in favor OF a general use of
the moving picture In the public
schools as an adjunct to books. The
problem OF educating children is not
SO much one OF methods as of in
structors. II all the teachers were
born teachers, there would be little
need of resorting TO novel contrivances
to interest and inform the child. Chill.
