Post in 0The Masauerader..

Anyone who has seen Guy Bates
Post in the stage version of THE
Masquerader" will be interested in
seeing the picture, which is show
ing at the Capitol, Davenport. Post
in his first appearance before the
camera lacks film tempo. And he is
conscious of the camera. However,
he knows what pantomime is, just
as George Arliss knows what it is.
With more experience he may
achieve the same success that has
come to Arliss in the celluloid
drama. Illusion is the one phase Of
drama in which the screen is un-
questionably superior to the stage.
The camera by means Of double ex-
posture can readily conceal mechan-
ical articles. Thus situation be-

expert craftsmanship of designers

TEACHING PERIODS
Sentiment Regarding Kinder.
garten and Primary Work
Changed, Say Officials.

Criticism Of the five-hour day for
kindergarten and primary school
teachers has gradually given way to
general approval, according to re-
ports submitted to Superintendent
Ballou by supervisory officials at a
conference yesterday afternoon In
the Franklin School.
The order requiring the kinder
garten and primary teachers TO put
in five hours a day in their class
rooms inS cad Of three and one-haii
became effective about two years ago
and at that time was criticized 70
some extent, principally among the
teachers. AS a result of the order
all elementary teachers are now
working five hours day.
kindergarten teachers spend pc
riods with the director of kinder
school visiting. field work or ex-
cursions with children. observation in
kindergartens or in the first or sec
ond grades, in mothers meetings or
specially assigned work and In ac-
tual work with children in primary
grades.
The suggestion was made at the
conference that these teachers be
given more definite educational work
in the classroom.
Teachers in the first and second
grades give the additional hour and
a half a day to the backward pupils
in their own classes, as far as the
classroom facilities permitted: to as
sisting one another in individual work
with children of single class; to ex-
cursions with the children. and to
study conferences with the director OF
primary instruction.
Supt. Ballou instructed the super
visors to have the teachers map out
programs for the observance of Navy
day and the Roosevelt memorial day,
both of which occur Friday. for their
respective classes. The administrative
officers. it was pointed out, will not
outline a general program for these
occasions.

AMERICAS LIBERAL PRESS?

aAaAAAEkAAAFAs ~ AAA0AaAsEAAh a AAAAA@A
Our so-caIled liberal press in the
United Safes is blind. Most Of the
liberal magazines are financed BY
the class they are supposed to be att
tacking. A threateped lawsuit against
4 very liberal New York magazine
disclosed that one Of its financial back
ers was Jewish capitalist who has
since been mentioned for the control Of
THE Federal financial system. This
man srnoothed the matter over and pre-
vented exposure Of himself.
Knowing the backing Of the ''liber-
al magazines it is impossible to recon-
mend most Of them. But il is hoped
that thru them the people may BE- giv-
en- an answer to the enigma Of an alien
|capitalistic class financing what seems
TO be a revolt against the capitalistic
class. The answer is, of course, that
1t is not their capital that is jeopardiz-
led; their capital is rather enhanced
by revolt.
In Great Britain they are more for
tunate. Gilbert K. Chesterton edits an
honest magazine, The New Witness. In
England, as here, Liberal is only
party name used by paid partisans.
Truth-tellirs are still another class.
The distinction is made vivid by ac-
Iquaintance with Chesterton' little
weekly. The New Witness. Another
London weekly. The New Age, is en-
titled to praise for honesty. Here Is
part Of a recent editorial from The
New Age:
France cannot, without changing
her financial system, avoid bankruptcy.
At the same time she cannot change
her financial system, because the in
ternational financial dictatorship will
not let her. Here we have the key TO
the situation, not only Of France. bu,
of all the world that accepts financial
system imposed on it by the ring Of
private financiers. Actually there is
no bankruptcy, in the strict economic
that, in Germany either. Actually, equ-
ally, neither England nor America is
poor or unable to forego or to pay
debts. The actual wealth Of all these
countries is Unreasonable. But owing
to the idiocy which allows this actual
wealth to be measured by money over
which few private individuals have
complete control, any one of these
countries, tho actually wealthy, can be
declared and made bankrupt at the dis
erection of Wall street, Threadneedle
Street, and the Banks Of France and
Germany. But SO long as this super
Communist dictatorship Of the civil
lied world continues, anarchy is all
ways next door to us; not a single ma
ton can do as its people please; and
one is no more responsible for a given
situation than another. We agree that
the French policy appears to be that
of a lunatic; SO, too, do the policies Of
other countries of Europe and America.
But the initial cause lies not in the de-
tails, but in the plan land the plan, we
repeat, is imposed by the existing finan-
cial system which itself is the work Of
arch-lunatics.'
If you don't get that the first time.
read it again; it has world of good
sense in it.
