Every true art lover knows the

When a landlord let's an apartment

May the tenant leave the windows

Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is a me
caanical means of teaching language
which has Just been introduced and
which promises to become a favorite
because OF the ease and convenience
with which 1t enables one to acquire
language. The device consists Of a
combination Of the phonograph with
a piece of mechanism which operates
a reel on which are printed words
and sentences SO that the student Ia
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he hears II. The phopo-
graph alone has already besn utilized
for the teaching Of language with
some success. but the efficacy Of the
