He keeps up an expensive delivery

YOU are confronted with the high
cost of living. But. by cooperation
between grocer and consumer there
is no reason why a fair price and a
fair profit should not be insured to
each respectively.
A woll-known grocer recently
stated that in those stores where he
did not have to make reckless de-
liveries and where cash payment was
insistI upon. he was able to not
only sell practically every item in
his store at a lower price to the
consumer, but that those particular
stores were yielding him bigger and

damentally different that it would
be as if a critic said that an artist
could no longer paint in oils because
he had tried his skill at etching. Oc-
casionally there are actors who
make successes in both kinds of
work. but the rule is that success in
one is no guarantee of success IN
another. There are great actresses
who cannot achieve the same success

Trol1ndn Thinks Film
Play Has Great
Possibilities AS
An Educator.

The educational value of the film
which has so often been referred to
In this column, has been made the
subject of a most interesting inter-
view with no less 4 parsonage than
Daniel Frohman, who has so Ions
been connected with amusement en-
tcrprises of the highest character in
the United States that his entrance
TO the moving picture field was
hailed as a distinct gain for the pic
lures. Mr.. Frohman believes, as We
do, that the producer who overlooks
the opportunity to instruct while he
amuses is overlooking one of the
most important features of his busi-
ness. In an interview with Katherine
Synon for the Movie Pictorial, Mr..
Frohman outlines his ideas at length.
The educational value of the picture
play was under discussion.

The visualizing of place.
person or an event is an education
nj factor whose value can hardly
be estimated. One of the great dif-
GCulties of teaching children in the
primary schools is their lack of abili-
ty to visualize the places. the per-
sons. or the events which the teacher
is trying to impress upon them. For
this reason geography is usually
very vague TO children, and history
s simply a collection of names. But
haven't you noticed that children
are tremendously interested in pic
lures of the people and the customs
OF foreign countries? 1t would be
50 easy TO utilize this interest in
furthering the teaching of history
and geography. The boy who sees a
picture of Lincoln signing the Eman-
Cipation Proclamation will remember
that act far longer than if he had
simply read of it in the course OF
his study. The boy who sees a pic
lure OF Zanzibar will have an idea of
East Africa that the reading of ten
hooks would not have given him.
New York seems to be awakening
