MOVIES IN SCHOOLS.

Several film corporations and teachers who believe that movies would make at least a valuable sup plement to text books are about to conduct a campaign to show films es- pecisily adapted to school use. Among the special subjects to which they claim the movie is applicable in this way are anatomical studies and his tc-ical subjects.
 The argument for this new aid to school education is based on the fact that the eye offers d much stronger and quicker approach to the brain than the ear. A child becomes in terested in what he sees far more readily than in what he hears or reads about and arousinE interest iri the lesson is three quarters of the battle in teaching The use of the screen would be an enlargement and perfection of the textbook pictures whose usefulness is recognized in school geographies and histories. Ten years ago the suggestion of movies in schools would have been revolution sry. but now their advocates claim they are just the next step in school progress. Of course they are not to be given first place in the equipment They are not to replace the teacher who is the most necessary thing in the scheolroom- No mechanical ap- r1fance can replace the need for hu- man leadership.

STORIES OF THE. WAR
Post War Commerce On D;


 Aboard S. S. Alexander, on the Danube, Hungary. Correspondence Of The Associated Press. Sir Ernest Thomas Troubridge. admiral com manding the Danube for the inter allied commission, in an interview on his flagship describel the success which so far has marked the efforts of the commission to promote th+ commercial use of the Danube" since June l when control of the river pass ed into it's hands.
 Admiral Troubridge who partici- pated in the naval defense of Bel grade in 1915 and in the great Serb ian retreat is credited with his coi- lea gues as doing much toward recon struction in southeastern Europe. For two years he was a representative of the British war cabinet at SaloRikI and came north with. the advancing armies reaching Belgrade on the day the Austrians fled.
 Early in November of 19lS,' he said there was not a single steam ship available for service on the Dan- ube. So we had to begin at the very beginning. It was the aim of the Austrians that all shipping should es {. cape up the river to safety beyonl northward they were fired upon from the shores by the Jugo Slov revolu- tionaries. As a result, many of the were surrendered or beached- This gay us a nucleus for the reorganiza- ton of service.
 Every difficulty confronted us We had to secure and organize new crews, repair machinery and landings. The armies had to be moved and an i'm mense volume of traffic awaited handling. Also there was a great shortage of coal. We secured some along the river, and later from Sara ievo but the great bulk had to be furnished by Great Britain. Three thousand tons were supplied regular ly each month Service had been re-. sumed to SemIin. permitting connec- tion with the railway terminus; to Panchova and to Novi Sad.
 As rapidly as possible steamers were put in opera ton up the Save and down the Danube. The ravitailement and fuel supply of several countries and the movement of armies and reff- uSoes awaited this service.
 When the steamer service was turned over to the government at Belgrade on July l." continued the ad- niraL i've were handling d commer- cial freight at Belgrade at the rate of 5000. 900 tons a year, and there was available passenger and commercial service from Belgrade for an average daily distance of 1.600 miles"

When at last I found one I nearly had mysteries and then the polite clerk said, oh, yes, they had that in color to stamp on light goods, but the yellow stamping pattern for dark goods was all out. l went to three other stores and repeat cd the process.
 That sounds, simple, but going from one store to another in this town or ours is equal to a trip from one village to the next out in the country When [ got a pattern at last I walked acres 10 the embroidery silks and they had every color earth but mine. That meant more stores.
 At last I found silk of the shade necessary-and they didn't have enough of it. Maybe it would be in in ten days. I grabbed what they had and I presume that when I have half the embroidery done and no more silk the factory making that particular shade will burn down or blow up.
 Then I hastened over to buy q yard and half of cornfiower blue chiffon. They had no blue chiffon. That meant more stores. And I entered each store at the precise entrance farthest re- moved from the chiffon counter. l had no feet by this time. There were some numb, swollen appendages dumping on the pavement which seemed in vague way, to belong to me- but you couldn't call 'eIn feet.

IN THE. DAYS NEWS
Spread Out" Says Eliot.

How are the evils that go with city crowding to be avoided in the face or the incf-ca sing congestion of Am rIcan cities .?
 This. says a bulletin from the Ma 1ionaI Geographic society. is one of the major civic questions of the time. and il will become even more apparent when house hunting begins in the fall.
 one answer to the question. the bui- letin states. is given in a communica- ton from Charles W. Eliot. who is quoted follows:
 Tn order to cure the destructive evils of present urban life and the fac tory system. it will not be enough to restrict the vices, to diminish the pres sure of poverty, to prevent destructive diseases. and prolong the average hu man life. The human environment must be not only negatively but posi- tively improved: so that the whole people may have the opportunity to cultivate healthy tastes and interests, to acquire just ideals of pleasantness and beauty and to learn the value toward tranquil happiness of that liv ing with nature which city congestion has within a single generation made almost impossible for multitudes-
 While the exclusion of bad inffu ences needs to be unremitting, the good influences - fortunately for crowded urban opulations - need not all be necessarily in action. An occa- sionai holiday in a city park or gar den. a week end in the country now and then. or a fortnight's vacation in summer may make deep and lasting children and adults with wholesome ma terial to fill the mind and direct it's energies for months and years
 Hence the importance of better city and suburban planning. of public reservations of all. sorts in city and state. and Of national parks and nonu- ments. All these modes of public ac- ton tell not only on the physical we'll being of both urban and rural popula tions. but on the mental training of whole population of thoroughly spirit ual interests and uplighting enjoy ments, both individual and social.
 The present evils of city life and the factory system-bad conditions which civilization has itself crea ted have developed their destructive forces in this country in site of the schools and churches and of free political in- stitutions, and in spite of many hap py influences from art. poetry, music and the drama. Clearly, society needs to develop new and better environ ment for the general life-2n environ ment favorab ble to both bodily and mental health and to the attainment of genuine happiness-not of mere mo- mentary settlements. pleasures and qualifications. but of solid contentment and the lasting satistactions of life enjoyed in quietness and peace. What are the means of compassing this end?
 The readiest means Is good plan ming of city, town and landscape first applied to areas still open. and then gradually to areas already occu- pied in undesirable ways. The new planning must take into account the interests of the whole community, s well as the interests of individual own CTS. the social or collective interest al ways prevailing.

WELCOME HOME.

Norwich is preparing to give wei come home to it's soldier and sailor boys next Saturday. IL is an event that calls for the wholehearted par ticipation Of the entire citizenship. men and women alike. The announced programme that has been prepared in 6icates that a royal welcome and en- tertainment is in prospect for the youth of Norwich who responded to the call Of country All will agree that IL is eminently fitting that this public recognition of their. services should be given and that no pains should be spared to make the welcome just as earnest and warm and sincere as pos EibIe- The citizens of Norwich may consider the day well spent which they devote next Saturday to the wei come home Of their soldier and sailor boys
 Upon his arrival in New York Gen e-al Pershing said: The American dourhboy is the finest soldier in the world and it did not take the Germans long to find it out" Had he been speaking Of the navy. the same praise
 would have applied and he might have added with equal truth. '-it did not take the English and the Germans long to find II cut These words would not have been a mere compli- menr. When General Pershing spoke # was the deliberate judgment Of the first soldier of the United States. made after intimate association for two years with the soldiers of nearly eV- cry civilized nation in the world. both friend and foe. It is the judgment of our own people. based upon accom- pIfshment and not solely upon na- tionaI pride We may believe that it is also the unexpressed judgment of the higher officers of other armies Undoubtedly we have jumped from last place 70 first place in the esti- nation of the world as to our military capacity Nations which formerly held in light esteem. such as the conremptuous remarks of the German military leaders before and at the time of our entry into tile war reveal. will make no wariike calcula tions in the future which do not put down the United States q large factor. not because we shall seek war, but be- cause those who go to war will try their best to keep us out of it. This means that they will not go 10 war att all if there is probability that wel would be against them.
 That is what the doughboy has done for us He has shown the whole world that not only will we as q nation go 70 war 10 uphold the right. but that our individual soldiers go into battle filled with zeal. determination, energy and intellectual initiative to such degree that soldiers less inspired can not stand against them. They have shown that we are a nation of ideals in accord with. which we seek to live and to sustain which our young men ars willing to battle and die.
 These are the type of young men whom Norwich is to welcome home.
