rush through the story in routine
fashion, which results in unconvinc-
ing stereotyped acting.
This is not to forget that many in
teresting pictures are turned out on
the program plan, pictures that are
evidently satisfactory to the majority
of motion picture patrons. But these
are not the pictures that are con-
cerned with the evolution of the photo
play. Rather is it the work of the
men and women who are working in
freedom from the cramping of time
limitations One of the best pictures
yet made was done with a small am
cunt of cash and large amount of
Benjamin Chapin's Abraham
Lincoln series. Chaplin missed some
thing in having none of the elaborate
accessories that well-equipped film
studio could provide, but he gained
more than he lost in his search for
the inner truths of his story by requir-
ing his players to live and think with
the personages they were to enact
until the minnie and the real had
blended into an illusion of character
that has probably not been surpassed
IN the MINIS.
Other examples from the work of
directors now active might be given
if it were possible to avoid some rath-
er invidious and pointed comparisons.
But undoubtedly every patron of
photoplay houses can supply proofs
out of his own experiences. The
most interesting thing about the pre-
sent phase of motion pictures is the
tendency of the men and women with
strong feeling for truth and beauty
to abandon the machine methods of
standardized production and go their
ways independently, though there can
be little doubt that they could make
more money if they were more 'busi-
nesslike." For this reason, the oc-
casional effort of officials of the big
organizations to do a picture that in
their hearts they know is the best
they could make should have due re-
cognition.-Christian Science Monitor.

Feminizing Anne. lea.

There are 25,000,000 children en-
rolled in public schools. Most of thf
100000 school teachers are woms.L.
Each year about $4,000 teachers drop
out. Each succeeding year an in
creasing proportion of the new teach
ers are women. In 1890 SO per cent
of the teachers were men. In 1918
the ratio dropped to II per cent.
1t has been pointed out that the
greatest good of turning the public
schools over to women is that it has
increased the number of educated
mothers in America, as the majority
of school teachers eventually marry
But the most important influence of
having more than 80 per cent Of the,
teaching positions filled by women is
that we are giving women the great
est opportunity of determining the
character of America tomorrow
Children are impressionable and plas-
tic. They are evolving their perma-
nent ideas of life while going to
school. If they develop a feminine
viewpoint it will be because of the
unwillingness of men to enter the
teaching profession.
WOMEN ueSSrEe great zeal Oh
credit for their sacrifice and idealism
and sense of service that lead them
into the teaching profession. If wo-
men were to take the same attitude
as men toward the schools we would
face an immediate crisis in education.
But, however much we honor the wo-
men for educating the rising genera
tiOnS, we can not safely evade the
fact that an educational SYSTEM that
does not attract men as well as wo-
men is not the best system for the
American people. Evidently the men
of today do not care whether Americ"
is feminized or not.-Cedar Rapids

Fairgrounds in America

]. A. Tobey in Current History Ma
gazine: In the year book of the Play
ground and Recreation association for
1921, every state in the Union except
three is listed as having Fairgrounds.
The greatest number is in New York,
with 8O3; 355 of these are in New
York city. Pennsylvania, with 5l4,
and Massachusetts,, with 383 play
grounds, follow New York. Ohio's
number was 318; then come Michigan
and Illinois with 298 and 249 respec-
lively. The states listed as having
no Fairgrounds in 1921 were Arkan-
sas, Idaho and Nevada, while South
Dakota had only one; New Mexico had
two, Mississippi five and Montana six:
In 1922, sos cities of the United
States and Canada maintained play
grounds. The total number of these
recreation centers was 4,601, or an
average of about nine to a community.
The attendance at these centers aver
aged we'll over a million children a
day. In the larger cities the number
of Fairgrounds often exceeded hun
bred, while the smaller towns frequ-
emily have only one. In seventy citi-
es there are Fairgrounds devoted ex-
clusively to the colored population.
In spite of the general financial de-
preston which characterized portion
of the year 1922, nearly half million
dollars more was expended on play
grounds during that year than III
1921. The total spent in 1922 was
$9,317,048. The Playground and Re-
creation association directs attention
to the fact that in one day in this
country an even greater sum was
spent on Injuries, such as chewing
gum, candy, soft drinks, tobacco and
theaters. In other words, we spend
nearly 400 times as much on Injuries
as we do on Fairgrounds. Fairgrounds

mentary Principles of Econom-
les" establishing the Dollar.n
League or WARP" Etc.
NEW~HAVEN, Conn.-Many stor,
les are told about imitation in Europe,
Here is a new one:
Three years ago a Polish clothier
wishing to retire from business, sold
out his stock of 100 suits of clothes
|at 1000 Polish marks each, and put
1.-the 100, 900 marks into a savings
bank. Recently he withdrew it Will
interest, making 10000 marks In
all, and found that this would buy
one suit of clothes!
Whether or not he ever realized
that the mark had fallen is a ques.
ton. Probably not, if we may Judge
by what l observed when in Europe
two years ago.
He probably was deceived by the
money illusion and believed that his
principal was unimpaired and that
he mad really received 1t back with
interest. To him the trouble did not
Aeem to be with the mark but with
Yhe wicked "profteers" who had
raised the price of clothes. He would
like to put them in Jail but he would
never think of topping imitation.
We can see what the matter is be-
tause we are outside of Poland and
think of the mark in terms of dol
lars.
But, while we marvel at his stu
pidity, we are making the same blum
ner of assuming that our own money
Is absolute.
Lets see how we stand:
According to my weekly index
number of the wholesale prices of
200 commodities, prices averaged at
the beginning of this year Sc per
cent above pre-war prises, or the
dollar was worth GA pre-war cents.
II some American clothier (taking
clothes as representing the average
commodity had sold out his 100
suits in 1913 at $50 per suit and put
Yh8 $4,000 into the savings bank how
Would he have come out last New
Years?
Counting ten years interest he
would have about $4,000. But clothes
cost Sc per cent more, or $31.20 a
suit. So with his entire $1,000 he
could not get back his original 100
suits, but only sc suits.
Yet it v occurs to him that the
dollar has changed! Its change has
really robbed him of all his interest
and four per cent of his principal
besides. for he now has SO suits in
stead of 100.
We need not go back to this year.
When the year began the index num-
Der stood, as just noted, at 156.
Now it stands at 1854. Stated an
other way, last January the dollar
w1s worth Ga pre-war cents. while
Today it is worth 81 pre-war cents.
