FILMS FOR SCHOOL
COURSES EXHIBITED
Classroom Projections i
Several Subjects Seen
by Officials Here.

Classroom projection of motion pic
lures as means of augmenting text
book teaching was considered by a
group of 100 public school system off,
GERS yesterday when DR.. Thomas E.
Finegan, widely known educator of
New York and Pennsylvania, demon
strated the use Of portable projectors
and especially prepared educational
films at the Franklin Administration
Building.
The three films which Dr. Finegan
presented showed the course of making
news print papers from the moment
the trees are fslled Until the printed
journa. is sold upon city streets: the
life history Of mosuu1to. and the to-
poeTaphy and animal life Of Americas
arid Southwest.
The films. Dr. Flnegan said, we're de-
signed to augment present teaching sys-
TENS rather htan replace any present
method. They were the result of two
years study by leading educators and
were designed specifically for classroom
use.
He said such reels now are being
used in many cities in the teaching of
geography, history, science and even
English.
Following the projection of the films
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant SUI
perintendent in charge of high schools,
declared the principle of film teaching
highly valuable" and indicated that
serious study of that method of instruc-
ton would be made in the local system.
DR.. Finegan was for Is years deputy
commissioner of education in New York
State and was head of the Pennsylvania
State education system from 1914 until
1923.

Mr.. Hoover did not designate any
definite time when Sinclair would sur
render to the court, but said the OIL
man would appear when the court
calls for his presence"
He added that Sinclair now was in
New York and was ready to come to
washington when notified. District At
torney Rover. however, asserted that
Sinclair may appear before the court
tomorrow.
Meanwhile. there was speculation as
to what arrangements would be made
for the incarceration of Sinclair in the
District of Columbia jail.
Mai William L. Peake. superintend-
ent of the Jail, said he had made no
plans to receive the oil man and did
not even know in what cell I shall put
him when he comes"
He added that he could not discuss
how Sinclair would be treated during
his sentence, but said recent prisoner
who was a millionaire didn't arouse
my curiosity enough to single him out
from among the other prisoners"
Under precedents dating back to
1897, Sinclair might ask the jail au-
thoritieS for a number of favors dur
ing his sentence Elverton r. Chapman,
a New York broker who refused to
answer questions Of Senate committee

GUS furniture in his cell and had hotel
meals during his prison term.

Surveyors to Seek High
Water Shore Line in

Surveying parties will be sent out

determine more definitely the high
water shore line in the area being de-
veloped for the new Anacostia Park,
north of Benning Bridge, as the result
of litigation in which the Government
was losing party.

Land Held Above Tide Flow.
The Government unsuccessfully con-
tended in the Injunction proceedings
that the Ross property was below the
high-water mark and that the property
belonged to the United States. The
Equity Court upheld the view of the
Ross heirs, for whom Attorney Joseph
D. Sullivan appeared, and decided that
the land was above the ebb and flow
of the tide at its ordinary stage of high
water and accordingly was susceptible
of private ownership. The heirs con-
tended they had chain of title in an
unbroken line from Lord Baltimore,
proprietor of the colony of Maryland,
to themselves.
The case was heard and testimony
taken before Lucien H. Vandoren. spe-
cial master, who reported his findings

HERE'S HOPING

A BAND has been organized IN
AKennewick that bids fair to be
a success where good many OF
it's predecessors have failed. The
reason this band has a head start
over all the others is its principle
of organization. 1t is a band for
beginners. It ais starting with
those who have had little or no ex-
perience with instruments but who
really want to learn. Old timers
must begin at the beginning, too.
In this way unity is achieved.
When these beginners have prac-
ticed together for several months,
and have graduated into the more
advanced music, they will compose
a band knit together by the ties
of a common and simultaneous ex-
perience. The mistakes and sue
cesses of each player will create
and interest and a fellow-feeling
with the other members that will
change them from beginners to
past masters at the art Of cooper
alton. And music without cooper
alton is just noise.
