woh is spending ten days at the Lake
Shore Hotel at Evanston, Ill, indi-
Gates that he is pleased with the vaca-
ton he is taking. Chicago is a fine
place to spend the summer he SAYS.
NORTH SHORE HOTEL, Evan
ston, Ill, Sept. 8, 1921.--Tt is lovely
and cool at the Lake Shore Hotel and
am not surprised that Chicago is
developing into a wonderful summer
resort. Some of the finest and largest
hotels in the world are being propcs-
ed on Lake Michigan to compete with
Atlantic City and other seaside re-
sorts on the ocean. That's all right
only man with all his cunning cannot
make the lake salt and while it some
times kicks up" a little it will never
roar" like the grand old Atlantic.
AT that it "has it over" a railroad
,Ipond.
Chicago is q live wire, almost like
New York, and is the first city to have
movies in the public schools.
Commencing this morning when the
schools will reopen, the, movie regime
goes into effect. II was announced
recently that not only will the pic.
ture shows be a part Of the teaching
but also that Chicago 10 the first city
in the world to adopt the new form Of
instruction in all its public schools.
!. Fifty Machines Installed.
The board Of education has fifty
projecting machines installed ready
/, for the opening Of the schools this
morning, and in all the school build.
! ings fireproof booths have been in
: stalled.
4 AS 0 as it is possible to purchase
them, it was said recently, projecting
machines will be placed in every
grammar and high school in the city.
Though from time to time Mary
Pickford, Fatty Arbuckle, and others
the children love to see, will appear
on the screens, the course is planned
particularly for educational films.
Darkness Spurs Thought.
1.-THE plan has been thoroughly
studied by educators throughout ths
country" said Mr.. Hays, and it il
conceded that movies are almost es.
~sential aids to modern instruction.
Darkness leads to concentration Of
thought. In the second place every
child in the room is enabled to view
the, objects under discussion"
Lends Vivid Aid to Studies.
Arrangements have been made t.
bring to the Chicago schools a con
d slant stream of films which will in,
1 cIrde scenic pictures showing all parti
X of the world, thus bringing vivid aic
in the study of geography.
Various branches Of industry viii
be shown as well as the sciences,
& The world certainly do move" and
! that is not intended for a pun. We
find that most of the biggest of beach
hotels, not only in the country but
in cities and at the resorts have cafe
~terias, and they are all right after you
% get used to them and are not too lazy
q to wait on yourself. There is a lot
( Ito. get but you must Go and get it,.
That's the way with anything that's
worth while. The whole world is a
big cafeteria. Everything you want
and plenty for everybody but you
must " go and get it" Too many
people in the world want everything
brought to them and cry hard tines
or hard luck" because they think the
world owes them a living and ought
to deliver the goods" to them in bed.
1t won't work and never will. The
: Lord helps those who help them
y selves.
