SCARCITY OF MEN TEACHERS IN

School committees throughout the
country. particularly in the large
cities such as New York, Chicago and
Boston, are facing the prospect OF
starting the fall terms minus large
number Of young men teachers who
will probably be called for service in
The new National Army.
In several cities plans are being
made to utilize motion pictures to
meet the educational emergency thus
created. Educators who have made
careful study of the project maintain
that the use of movies" Will enable
teachers to present many subjects Of
study in a manner so new and tlter-
esting that the students will acquire
the information much more quickly
| and the teachers efficiency will be in
creased so percent.
Motion pictures have been used for
educational purposes in many Sec
tons with results SO satisfactory that
| the Universal Film Mfg Co, the
worlds largest producers of motion
PICTURES, have taken up the work and
are considering entering on it in the
same large, efficient scale as marks

Iprior to the war, he said, was $80,000-

Tho Scandinavian Race,

The term "ScandinavianS" Is not
confined to the Norwegians. The Nor
wegians are indeed Scandinavians,
but so also are the Swedes, Danes and
Icelanders. For that matter, the Ger
mans, English and Americans of Dng-
fish stock are also descendants of the
Scandinavian stock, since it is more
than probable that Germany was orig
inally peopled from the land of the
Mortimer, and it is from the North
German stock that the so-called Anglo
Saxon comes.
