Education of Future

MOTION picture projection rooms
: will be the classrooms of the fu-
ture. So predicts Fred Niblo; noted
motion picture director, maker of
"Ben-Hur" and. other screen classics.
Universities and elementary schools,
I am positive, will in time teach al
most entirely through the medium Of
film," Mr.. Niblo declared. There is
a basic law of human knowledge con-
nected with the photoplay. Most of
us are visually minded. We learn
more rapidly by seeing than by in
structi6n. For this reason even the
kindergarten classes may be taught
the A, B, C's and spelling by slow
motion effects and diagrams.
Many scientific schools are already
employing pictures in their regular
curriculum.
Motion pictures will never do
away with personal instruction, but
the professor should employ pictures
to illustrate his lectures, or else he
may take the place Of the subtitles to
amplify the discussion.
"The possibilities of pictures as an
education influence in our schools and
universities are unlimited"

A Composite City



Hustling, bustling throngs-
massive buildings--rushing automo-
biles. buses, flashing electric signs,
trolley cars, elevated trains--all in a
mile square OF perfectly paved streets,
lighted and alive with humanity.
It might be q section of Rue de In
Paix, or Piccadilly or Columbus Circle
or an avenue In Vienna. Rome, Berlin
excepting that a bit of architecture,
the mode Of dress OF the populace, the
style OF street cars, the movement of
traffic on the right side of the street
instead of the left--or vice versa--be-
lies the fact.
1t is city from nowhere-massive
vibrant, pulsating. One almost senses
the thousands of human problems in
the lives of its inhabitants.
Such is the city that F. w. Murnau,
the noted German director, has built
on a rambling slope at Fox Hills, the
big location studio of Fox Films, for
his picture, Sunrise"

A LITTLE TALK ON
THRIFT AND SAVING
By s. w. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift.

A young man was earning $4,000 a
year. Out of this he saved 500 a
month. At the end of the first year
he was asked for a statement regard
ing his experience in submitting to
such rigid self-discipline and why he
was willing to make these sacrifices.
His letter in part was as follows:
Saving money, for the young, I'M
married man, in many cases molds
his character by self-denial of things
he does not need, improves his health
by eliminating dissipation and en-
couraging regular hours of sleep, i'm
proves the quality of his work by
putting him in better physical posi-
ton and lessening the number of dis
tracing outside interests and influen-
ces."
He also explained that he was able
to make such large saving by keep
ing budget. He did not feel that
his habits implied stinginess or tight
fistedness, but he realized that his
success in life depended on his ability
to save money now. He said he had
observed that few successes in the
business world were permanent unless
the man had learned to save money.
and that he did not believe he ever
would amount to much if he did not
learn first of all to master himself
He displayed a deep appreciation of
thrift values when he called atten-
tion to the fact that it was not alone
the money he was saving that would
benefit him in after years, but that
to a still greater degree benefits
would ensue from the strength of
character which he was attaining.
BY practicing thrift and thus elm
mating dissipation he was able to
turn his spare time to good advan-
tage by reading the best books and
otherwise fitting himself for the great
work which it was his ambition to
accomplish.
These are great, fundamental
truths.
Those. who today adhere to such
practices will tomorrow be leaders of
men-the administers of the destinies
of the nation.
