CANNED EDUCATION
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

I OfN It 4 A OhE uALANE1A[t 4O-4o
DR.. Louis F. Koontz, University of Cal
ifornia at Los Angeles, believes educa-
ton of the future will depend largely
upon canned" library-rolls Of film
which will record in minute space the
masterpieces of literature, technical
works. lectures and charts. A box the
size of a pound of butter will hold mat
ter now taking up more than 100 cubic
feet of space, he declares. An entire pub
lie library could be carried in a suitcase,
the doctor infers. Instead OF screen,
the works will be projected upon IL
brarv table. DR.. Kontz believes the
chief obstacle to widespread acceptance
of the method in educational circles will
be because of its newness.
The newness was no bar to some banks,
which already are making permanent
Photographic recordings Of all checks
drawn by depositors. For the convent
ence of the bank patron, the photograph
NAV be thrown on a screen for ipspec-
ton. In court cases, needless to say, the
method will have great use, making forg
ery far more difficult. Whether educa-
tional institutions will be equally rapid
in adopting the suggestion remains to be
seen.
Such a method, needless to say, would
bring revolutionary changes IN the en-
tire educational system. Such changes
should not be too rapid. There is danger,
in moving too fast when dealing with the
human mind in its formative stage.
DR.. Koontz, however, has overlooked
what probably will be the most import
ant single contribution of the film IN
dustrv to world education. On cellulold
rolls are recorded the happenings of ev-
cry important event in this modern
world. Better than written word, these
records will give students of the future
a full knowledge of history as 1t was IN
the making. No cold words will be theirs
to study. but actual views of the things
about which they learn. Modern news
reels are popular in modern theatres,
but their usefulness will not end there.
In the archives Of the future they will
be invaluable.
Imagine, if you can, our own children
seeing in the quiet of a darkened room
the siege Oh Ndll6y IOISC, TIC signing VI
the Declaration of Independence, the
framing of the emancipation proclama-
ton, passage of the first steamship or
flight of the first airplane. Children
of the future will have comparable priv
ileges when they study history which is,
to u.s. not yet history. They will see
events surrounding the beginning of a
new era in American and world political
life. They will see in the movement the
dynamic figures who will have passed
on many years before.
Not only for the students will the re-
corded doings of the world, the repeated
voices of former leaders, have a decided
bearing. For statesmen and business
men there will be renewed inspiration in
the knowledge that problems have been
surmounted in the past, and will be sur
mounted again.
There are possibilities without end in
those rolls Of film.

ciliation of the elderly Duchess De

daughter-in-law, Golden Peggy"
Watson, of Washington, D. c., now
Duchess De Nemours, became
known here today to the delight
of Franco-American society.
It also has pleased French Re-
publicans, who regard the hand
some young Duke De Nemours as
one of the good reasons why nei-
ther the Duke De Guise, pretender
to the French throne, nor his son.
the Count De Paris, is likely to
become King Of France.
This is because of the Duke De
Nemours' pers onal popularity.
Rich and handsome, he could have
married anyone. Instead, he chose
the impecunious but pretty Peggy
and started one of the greatest
family rows ever known in France.
Recently, however, he prevailed
upon his mother. a widow since
the death of his father, two years
ago, to receive his pretty wife.
News of the reconciliation became
known when the Duke and Peggy
returned from visiting the Ouch
ess De Vendome at her chateau
near Geneva.
Friends of the couple admitted
that no attempt would be made
to get the Duke De Guise, titular
head of the De Bourbon family,
