TEAMING EYES AND EARS

DAVENPORT, IA.-The value
Of teaming eyes and ears in edu-
cation is receiving high recognition
IN virtually every major university
and numerous smaller Institutions
Of higher learning, as well as in
public and parochial schools
throughout the nation. A
Research has disclosed that the
overwhelming majority Of people
are "eye minded that is, they
learn better and faster when they
see the subject matter. Only 81
comparatively few persons are Gear
minded that is, have the ability
to absorb and retain through hear
ing alone. "a q
But when sight and sound, as.
eXemplihed by sound motion pic-l
lures, are combined, the learning
rate and retention value, are in-l
creased far beyond the orthodox
teaching methods. Hundreds of COLI
leges are using standard 16 milli1l
meter sound motion pictures and
equipment to help speed student
education, and in addition, many If
them have established visual edu-
cation departments where the new,
techniques are taught to the edu-
Gators themselves. 4
A pioneer in the modern concep&j
Of student education and training,
of educators is the University a.

lied Department OF Visual Iz-&

bers, impose a tremendous strain;

A 30-day drive for used clothing will begin in New Haven April 1 in order to cooperate in the raising of 15,000,00O pounds of clothing through out the country for distribution in war-ravaged nations. The campaign, to be known as the United National Clothing Collection, is being backed by the United Nations Relief and Re- mobilization Administration and many national war relief agencies.
 Items gathered in the drive will go into common pool. The Volunteer Bureau, 152 Temple Street, is asking for help sorting, packing, shipping or clerical work.
 Clothing of every description is badly needed. Receiving depots will be centralized in many of the city churches and schools, and will be in charge of volunteer workers.
 Also urgently needed are bedding, blankets, and usable piece goods one yard or more in length.

 Realizing this, the A. E. of LIS Free Trade Union Committee, cur rently raising $l,OOO,OOO or more for this purpose, urges rapid ac- tion in completing the drive.

 After the war is over new indus trial centers will develop all over the world and if they are manned by low-paid, unorganized labor, Amer ica will be flooded with cheap pro- ducts" the Committee continued.
 This flood of cheap commodities will be threat to American indus try-therefore a threat to the high living standards of American work CTS.

Clearing the decks for positive action, organized labor in New Ha- ven last week introduced into the Board of Aldermen its own pro- posed ordinance which guarantees the right of municipal workers to join organizations of their own choosing.
 In the meantime swift strides in organization among city workers were being made. Two meetings of members of the New Haven Fire De- partment were held at the Labor Temple, and signed applications were received from a large number of flremen. Temporary officers have been named for the fremens union, who will be a part of the Interna- tlonal Association of Fire Fighters, affiliated, as in the case of the New Haven Policemen's Association, with the New Haven Central Labor Coun- ell and the Conn. Federation of La Dor. Organization of the New Haven firemen makes the fifth union of its kind in Connecticut, the largest being in Hartford. excellent progress is also reported by Local 53O, N. H. Po- licemens Association, which has elected a full slate of officers.
 The organization meetings of the firemen, which are continuing, were addressed by John Marone, of the Hartford Fire Fighters Un- ion; John Linenan, third vice-pres- ident of the International Associa- tiOn of Fire Fighters; Vincent Me Govern, president of the New Ha- ven Central Labor Council; Rev.
