HI-PASS CAMP IS
HIGHLY PRAISED

Ms. Olive r. Rochester, state

in the valley the past week check

work for the health camp, which is
maintained at HiPass by the I'm
pcFial Valley Tuberculosis Associa-
tion.
The Health Camp, is maintained
tor the uudernourished children,
who are under par physically and
need to be- built up. Fourteen child

to the excellent work Of Mrs. +. H.

This means that the money which
is gathered from the annual sale

machine. An ingenious electrical
gearing device has been developed
whereby the two machines can be
started from rest and maintained
in synChroniSm not only after they
are up to speed but during the
period while they are speeding up.
1t was necessary in developing
the system to perfect a method of
making sound records which will
run at least fifteen minutes without
distortion either of the high or of
the low notes. Through the use of
two reproducing machines alter
nately. interruption in the accom-
paniment will be avoided. Repro
duction in the theatre preserves the
correct relationship of each sound
to the others, the intensity varying
in the same proportion as in the
enacted scene or musical program.
An important use of the new sys-
tenn Will be in providing musical
programs for motion pictures al
ready taken. This is accomplished
by projecting the picture in the
usual way and recording the music,

theatres is no more complicated
from the standpoint of operation
than an ordinary motion picture
protector. No special skill or tech
mic is required of the operator If
the film breaks, there is no inter-
ference with the accuracy of syn
chronization. The sound record is
not controlled by the film itself.
The system represents suCceSSf III
combination and conversion to mo-
ton picture usc of three major re-
search developments:
The first OF these is the electrical
system of recording This method
employs a high quality microphonc

ing. Any picture which has ever
been produced can be orchestrated
and synchronized. The sound syo-
chronization is not dependent oo
recording at the time of the ex-
posure of the film.
The difficulties of accurate syn
chroniZation which had been en-
countered in earlier attempts lay
in the necessity for keeping the
artists close to the recording equip
ment in order that a satisfactory
reproduction might be made. The
new process of electrical recording
makes it possible to make faithful
reproductions at a distance from
the source of sound.
The most difficult part of the de-
velopment was the reproduction of
music or speech from the apparatus
in such manner that it would be
as loud as music or speech from a
real performance and at the same
time faithful copy in all respects.
The special electrical device for
converting the motion of the needle
bearing on the record into electrical
vibrations and the use of a modi-
fed public address system over
came these difficulties.

The second essential feature is
remarkable electrical reproducer
which converts the movements of
needle in the grooves of a sound
record into electrical vibrations.
The electrical currents from this
device pass into an amplitier and
then operate a high quality loud
speaker of an improved type capa-
Bile of filling practically any motion
picture auditorium.
The third development is the link
between the reproducer and the
audience in a theatre. An adapta-

Michael Ar]en is one of the phcno-
mcna OF our time. You may not like
phenomena but you probably like
original stories, so in Arlen S case
YOU can compromise on that. He
himself never compromises on any
thing, though he once said, i" Discrc-
tion is the better part of literature. ;
Arlcn hasn / reached the 80 year
mark. He claims to be entirely self
educated. There WAS also a war.
! ct, though no human eye ever sees
hIm at work, he has already writ
ten more than five successful books.
This young man believes in work
ing hard and living hard. Most of
his summers are divided between
ncauvtllc and Biarritz; winters on
tie Riviera.
1t is Arlen : opinion that if one
had no enemies there d be no time
to write. Therefore he has collected
quite a number whom he embitters
by the amount of work he does while
amusing himself through never ap-
peariug TO do any. That, of course,
is pose, bat it 5 not an easy one to
carry, Try ii yourself--aud see.
'The Acc of Cads,' short

nations or retirements whenever the
work thus relinquished can be as
signed to other persons than the out
going incumbents. In other words,
the department heads are requested
to add to the duties Of their remaining
forces. But it would seem from the
fact that in July only net reduction
of six persons was effected that this
practice is not being generally fol-
lowed. Indeed, 1t is questionable If it
can be followed effectively. Other
wise there might have been a reduc-
ton of 1000 or more month before

Government clerks are not under
taxed with work as a class. There
are some cases where only light duties
are assigned to or exacted from the
personnel. There are other cases
where the clerks do more work than
is required Of persons in similar
private employment. The average Of
efficiency and of industry in the Gov
eminent offices is high. To carry out
rigidly a policy of doubling up the
work in order to effect large reduc-
ton in force would in a short time

The Government Personnel.

It is announced that with the net
reduction Of six employees during the
month Of July the Federal census in
this city on the first of August was
6o,435, the smallest number since the
war and about half the number en-
ployed in the Government service in
Washington at the war peak. During
July there were 1,0S1 separations from
the service and 1915 additions to it.
The Government service in Wash

the limit of efficiency. There may be
Offices that are over manned, but there
are certainly some that are under

cut from the highest number in 1918.
More reductions may be made from

THINK 1T OVER
Leave It to Teacher.
By William, Mather LesOis,
President George Washington University

There is a story going the rounds
to the effect that Florida real estate
man withdrew his boy from school
because he was not being taught sub
division. Many subjects which have
little or no educational value have
been fastened upon the public schools
by those who were in no way familiar
with educational problems.
Emphasizing this point, DIR. Edwin
c. Broome, superintendent of schools
in Philadelphia, recently said: ITO be
sure, the public schools are the pub
lies schools. So are public hospitals
the publics hospitals. But does the
public attempt to decree what surgi-
cal instrument and medicine shall be
used, and how or when an operation
shall be performed and how the pa
tient shall be treated? No. The pub
lie sets certain standards which must
be met before persons may practice
as doctors or nurses, and then holds
the practitioners responsible for ex-
pert service"
But, you say. the situations are not
analogous, because we require high
technical training for those who are
to look after our bodily welfare and
little for those who are to guide our
mental development. Don't be too
sure. Scan the requirements which
public school teachers must meet in
the more progressive States and you
will find that high standards have
been set. Note the great army of
teachers in attendance upon normal
schools and teachers colleges and you
will realize that education is really a
profession.
No profession in the United States
has raised its standards more in re-
cent years than has the teaching pro-
fession. The public will get good re-
suits when it leaves technical educa-
tional problems in the hands of
trained educators; it will not get such
results when pressure is exerted from
the outside.

This statement also carries the an
