AtLeast a Start

BY letting the contract for the
extension Of the Fourth Avenue
subway to Fort Hamilton the
Transit Commission insures better
subway facilities to at least one sec
ton Of the city, no matter what at
titude the Legislature may take on
the transit law.
This is a sensible course. The
commission. in doubt as to its own
future, might well have put all i'm
provements of till later, thereby
passing the responsibility along to
the Governor. In the event Of a
change in personnel the new COM
missioners would have to DO the
worrying.
But they chose to make a begin
ming. Had Il not been for the con-
tinued distractions interposed by
the City Hall TO the transit plan
more contracts might already be
let and more relief provided. But
the Mayor and the Board Of Esti-
mate played politics at the expense
Of the straphanger, as the strap
hanger will discover If the commits
sion is removed and the business OF
new construction put into the hands
Of Mr.. Hylan.
However, an extension to Fort
Hamilton Is certain 10 be built, no
matter what the Legislature may do.
And while that will not 80 very far
toward forestalling stagnation, it is
better than no new subways for
years, which will be the result if the
city administration is permitted by
the Legislature TO take charge.

Once Too Often

The Reparation Commission has
at last plueked up courage 70 de-
clare Germany In voluntary de-
fault" The Germans had agreed to
deliver TO France in 1922 certain
quantities Of wood, including tele-
graph poles. No one could say that
the wood needed for this service had
been spirited out Of the country in
spite Of the vigilance Of Wirth and
Cuno. IL was there, standing in
the forests. But the Reich was ap-
parently too busy TO cut it, and cal
culHted that one more little failure
10 make good would be counted as
only one more little failure.
The Reparation Commission
thought otherwise. Possibly It was
tired Of chalking Up German ex-
cuses for non-fuIhllment Of contract,
There Is such a thing as a last
straw. There is also such a thing
a. a last telegraph pole. At any
rate the commission, much TO Sir
John Brsdbury's surprise, voted by
three to one that Germany had de-
liberately evaded an obligation
which II was easy enough for her
20 fulfill. Il called a halt on this
sort Of German effrontery.
The significance Of the decision
lies In the fact that Il brings into
play the machinery Of separate re-
pnsal Paragraphs II and IS, An
mex 2, Part VIII, Of the treaty con-
tain a provision which the Reich
eitl.er forgot or valued too cheaply.
They direct the ReparHtion Com
mission 70 give notice Of any Ger
man default 20 each Of the inter
ested Allied powers. They also au-
thorize the Allied and associated
powers. in case a voluntary default
is reported by the commission, to
take such measures, economic and
financial prohibitions, reprisals and
oshers, as 'ths respective govern
ments may determine to be neees-
sAry in the circumstances"
Germany has thus forced the com
mission 10 give France a free hand.

a position to penalize Germany on
ia own account and 10 make Berlin

Calling a Bluff

OF course Mayor Hylan's charge
that a "Gary-Roekefeller ring IS
seeking TO dominate the schools OF
New York is baseless. If Mr.. Hylan
knows anything whatever about the
sehools-whieh is open 70 doubt-he
knows that. Yet he has repeated
this nonsense so often that he has a.
last irritated Superintendent Ettin-
ger. who demands that the Mayor
either prove his assertions or dis
continue them.
Mr.. Hylan viii do neither. He
cannot prove them. And to discon-
tinue them would deprive him Of the
only effective way he can think Of
70 reply TO the really serious and
we'll founded charge that the schools
are rapidly becoming an sppendage
Of Tammany Hall.
His own unfulflled pledges TO
build sufficient school buildings and
increase the efficiency Of the educa-
tional system he appears to regard
as not requiring any defense. With
Mr.. Hylan promises are for use only
in campaigns.
matter Of fact, II either Judge
Gary or Mr.. Rockefeller could be
psrsuaded 10 take Office on the Board
Of Education there would be a sud
den and salutary change in the pres
ent method Of instruction. But Judge
Gary's name has simply been
dragged In by the Mayor because the
so-ealled "Gary system" Of educa-
ton Is employed In a town that was
named after him. Judge Gary did
not devise this system. He has GER
tainiy never sought 10 introduce 1t
into New York.
None Of the Rockefellers has med
died in any way with the schools or
employed any one 70 do 90. The
elder Rockefeller has, it Is true,
given away many millions Of dollars
for educational purposes, but he has
been careful to intruSt the expendi-
tnre 70 hands that are beyond the
control Of Tammany politicians.
The only ring that threatens the
schools Of New York City to-day is
the Murphy-McCoOey ring, which
has managed 10 make them an annex
Of Tammany and a rich source Of
patronage. That Is evident, and is
becoming more evident every day.
despite the transparent attempts Of
Mr.. Hylan 10 conceal II behind e
cloud Of fake charges.

How Coal Is Wasted

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII "An Old Engineer" kindly
explain what becomes Of the heat units
contained in steam escaping IN a room
to Justify his assertion that "any
escape OF steam from a radiator Is Just
so much coal wasted"l The writer has
made a very extensive study Of this
subject and has not found this theory
before. From his research Il is be-
lieyed that the greatest waste Of coal

through the chimney and unburned
coal through the CRATES. both due TO
improper firing and badly designed
apparatus.
To make the fruits Of such research
clear would require a long description,
which probably The Tribune would not
print and It's readers would not heed.

'Movies" in Education

The ingenious use Of motion pic
lures by DR.. Ditmars TO illustrate a
lecture on evolution Is another indi-
cation Of the great por 'ibilities Of
motion pictures in education, The
films showed in motion pictures the
theoretical formation Of the earth,
the earliest sea creatures, the rep
tiles of bygone ages a1d Other
stages in the process Of evolution,
ending up with pictures Of some OF
the anthropoid apes.
The historical accuracy Of such a
reel IS, Of course, open to much ques-
ton. The details Of the picture,
however, are Of little Importance
compared with the use Of this me
dium Of making the past live. The
same principle has been applied ir
the making Of historical films, such
as the series projected by the Yale
University Press. The purpose In
each case Is to show in motion pic
lures events Of the past as nearly
as possible as they actually hap
pened. The difficulties are, Of course,
enormous. There are necessarily
errors; but II Is doubtful II these
errors are more numerous or more
serious in such films than they are
In books, which describe the samr
occasions in words.
The important thing Is not 50
much the subject as the method Of
presentation. II Is a well known
psychological fact that the eye Of
the average man, and especially Of
the average child, receives and re-
tains more vivid impressions than
the ear. Furthermore, things seen
in motion and in real or apparent
life make a deeper impression than
the written word. II follows, there
fore, that the child who can see a
motion picture Of a dinosaur moving
about in a prehistoric plain has a
much clearer notion Of this beast
than has the child who merely reads
about one in a book. The fact that
the picture happens to be a closeup
of a certain kind Of lizard instead
Of the real thing does not neces-
sarily make the impression any the
less accurate.
The few experiments thus far
made Of using motion pictures in
educational work have served 20
teach what not 20 do. The method,
once understood and developed, may
we'll prove invaluable. What is pic
tured the eye retains. whereas only
too often It forgets what Il reads.

Under Suspicion.

Okmulgee, Okla.-An alleged conf

charged with having offered 81 bills
for sale at the rate of 1912 cents each,
finding a lively market, but failing to
deliver the cheap money after they had
received their price. was uncovered
here with the arrest of Jack" Gard
ner Of Muskogee on charges of fraud
and robbery.
Warrants also have been issued for
the arrest of Robert Smith, pool hall
operator and former political leader i'm
Okmulgee county, and Bert Davis of
Tulsa on similar charges.
They are alleged to have said they
received a large number of 81 bills
from the banks failing in this section,
and that, to handle the money convent
emily, they had to have 1t in large de

for 81, taking $50 and $50 bills in pay
