Rapid Education
for EX-Service Men

Chicago, Jan. 12-Disabled world
war soldiers, taking courses of edu-
| cation from the government can
learn certain trades and industrial
work through the visual educational
! system recently instituted by the gov
eminent in one fifth of the time they
would require through lectures and
the study system, according to results
| of experiments made here by the So
ciety of Visual Education.
There are various reasons for this
condition." said Sumter Calvert, SUI
| perintendont of the society here
THE chief factor in making this rap
id education possible is the fact that
through the pictures the pupil is en-
abled to gain what might be called
practical experience as well as theory,
for the subject under study is gone
through with in far more elaborate
detail than text books supply and the
eye can gather and record it on the
mind by actual vision of the subject
far faster than the mind can absorb
and record it through study.
"Of course, the study is the second

the finishing touch to the pupil, but
he usually knows what he is reading
about and can avoid concentrated ef-
fort, if he has taken the visual sys-
TEN first
The government has made educa-
tional films dealing with mechanical
arts, the machine shop, dairy and
! light farm work, civics and what tax
es are for in relation to the city and
government, bee culture, health, n.y.
giene, geography and history.
The government however, is partic-
Ular. In case a film is being made
with the subject of dairying, a dairy
with the very latest equipment is
picked out. The picture machine
I and operator is transported to this
dairy but accompanying him is a pro-
lessor from leading university, who
is considered to have knowledge that
is the very last word on the subject of
cows, milk. butterfats and dairying in
general. Also a practical dairyman
who stands at the very top of his
profession is in the party. Then
there is the general film manager.
These three decide upon the manner
in which the picture is to be made to
bring forth the best results from the
students viewpoint. Every detail of
dairying is shown with close ups on
all features that require close study
when in text books. Time in expos
ure is considered, for in each showing
of the films professor and a practi-
cal dairyman instruct the pupils in
the finer details. Health and hy-
giene are included in all pictures.
The same system of taking the
pictures is applied to every film. In
the machine shop pictures, for ex-
ample, an expert machinest and a
professor of mechanical engineering
both oversee the picture filmed and

IS SENDING THEM A PICTURE
Joe Abith Hasn't Seen His People
For Thirty Years

Joe Abith, the Syrian whose Ice
cream wagon is familiar to Abilene
people and who operates little store
on Southwest Fourth street, had a
picture Of himself, his store and
horse and wagon taken Sunday to
send to his people back in Syria. He
has been in this country 80 years
and during that time had never
heard from his parents or of them
until a short time ago when Syrian
who left there three years ago
stopped here and told Mr.. Abith that
his home was but short distance
from that Of Mr. Abith's mother
and sisters who were well and happy
when he left. Mr.. Abith had sup
posed that his people were dead but
on hearing from them he decided to
let them see how he was getting
along in America.
One can well imagine the joy OF
the mother on receiving the picture
of son Of whom she has heard
nothing for more than 80 years.

members of the school board OF
Eminence, in Ffnney county, Mrs.
Clara White, Eminence school
teacher and sI.orraine f. Wooster,
state superintendent. was written
yesterday in the form Of an opinion
from Richard J. Hopkins, attorney
general. This latest chapter might
we'll be headed, "On With the
Dance" for in 1t the attorney gen.
erals opinion. attending and parti-
cipating in a dance is not sufficient
ground for refusing to renew
school teachers certificate.
Dancing is not prohibited by state
law, the attorney general holds, and.
moreover, the state superintendent
has not authority to revoke a teach
er's certificate.
And the Eminence school boards
in defiance Of Miss
Wooster's action, that a dance will
be held at the Eminence school
July 1, will stand, unless some fur
ther action Is taken by supporters OF
the state superintendent, who is an
everlasting foe Of this common pas
time as well as tobacco, extremes
in dress, face powder and other
current styles. What the state su!
next move Is the mat
ter will not be surmised by officials
here.
