The Picture vs. The Book By FREDERIC J. HASKIN - .
American Legion
.. WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. "Indifference bordering on criminal negli- , gence," characterized treatment of service men of the World war who flocked to Torrlngton. Wyo., Sept. 2. to settle on newly opening government - land, the American Legion's national legislative committee declares here following its study and report of the land drawing scheme. For every man who received a farm, ,200 were turned away empty-handed and disappointed, the report points : out. Almost 4,000 former soldiers, .sailors and marines, wounded and disabled men among them, came from 36 ( states of the Union to try for the 203 'government farms. In order to get their names in the drawing pot, the young men put up half a million dollars in cash deposits. The majority of the half million went back into the pockets of the 3,797 who were not lucky enough to get a farm. : Governor Carey of Wyoming drew the first card. The winner was a sol
dier from Pennsylvania, wounded over-
soap.
"With 200,000 veterans of the World
war clamoring for a chance to go on
the land and work," the legion's state
ment reads : "This government has vet to turn its hand to give them
that aid which eood common sense, if
" not gratitude and generosity, would prompt. Alter all the previous wars
in which this country has been en
caged, there has been government
lnd in abundance for those who wish
ed to pioneer on it. Only the land
hucerv veterans of the Warld war
seem to be out of luck."
NEW YORK CITY. Sept 26. Teach it by moving pictures instead of by books! This suggestion, long championed by such ardent educators as Mr. H. G. We'ls, is now meeting with wide
spread approval in this country. After many years of patient obscurity, the educational film is distinctly coming into its own. Not only is it greatly in demand by public schools, universities and churches, but the general
public is showing an unexpected en-' thuslasm for it. Producers of educational features are finding it difficult to supply ail the orders they receive for home projection machines, while New York moving picture theatres have recently discovered, to their own amazement, that an, exceptional animal or travel picture, properly featured, attracts as many patrons as an all-star theatrical film. The fact is that a large number of people would be bored by most travel books and would be incapable of concentrating on a scientific article, are quite eager to absorb information through the medium of the screen. The reading of books with the exception of light, popular fiction, requires understanding on the part of th3 reader, while looking at a film does not. Many unkind things have been said against the movies, but this may be said in their favor They arc making the average American better informed. They are bringing to the
great mass of people who cannot afford to travel, glimpses of foreign lands, interesting personalities and curious facts. In other words, they
are disseminating useful knowledge in a painless, effective fashion.
The extent to which the educational
films are used now is so vast that
combination of non theatrical pro
ducers was recently formed to estab
lish exchanges throughout the United States for the distribution of pictures of a purely educational character, his combination plans to enlarge the field for their products, but in the
meantime it is kept busy supplying the field which already exists.
Movies in Church and HomeAccording to one of these producers,
there are 44,000 churches in this country which regularly use motion pictures, of which the Roman Catholic churches number 17,000, and the Meth
odist 10,700. Departments of visual education have been established In
most of our universities, while pro
jection machines are owned by nearly
60 per cent of our elementary schools.
Then there are -numerous organiza
tions and clubs which use educational
movies as a regular thing. Among them are the Y: M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., the American Federation of Women's Clubs, and societies devoted
to nature study, animal lore, welfara

work, health, civics, - drama, history j and travel. The use of moving pictures among such societies is growing at such a rapid rate that the 12 man ufacturers now producing standard portable projectors are planning to turn them out the coming year at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 a week in order to keep up with the extraordinary demand. The educational film also has become an indispensable feature of the
large manufacturing plant, which uses it not only to advertise its, goods, but for educational work among its employes. "Safety first" films have done more than any other one thing, it is said, to cut down the number of industrial accidents, while they also have been instrumental in smoothing out differences between employers and employes. It is estimated that there are 6,000 manufacturers in this country who provide motion pictures for their employes every day at noon. One large mining corporation has built nine moving picture theatres for the benefit of its workers, one of which cost $400,000.
Besides these permanent sources of
demand, there is an ever-growing
clamor for non-theatrical films for use in private homes. "Nobody realizes
how many portable projecting ma
chines are in use in private homes,"
says one producer of educational fed
tures. "There are 28,000 of these in
the United States, and probably 15,-
000 more which are idle because it is
impossible to supply pictures for them.
For these we are asked to make up
a program with comedy suitable for
children, a travelogue, an educational
film, and perhaps pictures of the habits of wild animals, or Americaniza tion propaganda. "One of the very important uses of the non-theatrical picture is putting Americanization Into homes in a language that even an illiterate immigrant can understand. 1 Science Taught by Film. "You can teach all sorts of scientific facts by films which you can't with books, because people won't take the trouble to read them. Health boards, for instance, can put their lessons 'across' in pictures as they can in no other way. We have one picture called 'Unhooking the Hookworm,' which is unknwn to the theatre-going public, but is in great demand by the International health board for use in all southern states. "A motion picture has been made of every major operation. We have films showing miscropic organisms and demonstrating physiological processes, as for example, the circulation of the blood. Then, of course, they have it all over textbooks in teaching chemistry, biology, and other scientific subjects in the schools." The producer handed us his author
ity for this last statement an article ! by Mr. H. G. Wells, in which he says: J "I ask for half a dozen projectors ot i so in every school and for a stocked ,
storehouse of films. The possibilities of certain branches of teaching have
been altogether revolutionized by the
cinematograph. In nearly every school nowadays you will find a loi of more or less worn and damaged
scientific apparatus which is supposed to be used for demonstrating the ele
mentary facts of chemistry, physics
and the like.
'Now that is the sort of thing which
still goes on. But it ought to be entirely out of date. All that scientific bric-a-brac in the cupboard had far better be thrown away. All the dem
onstration experiments that science teachers will require in the future can bo performed once for all before a cinematograph. They can be done
finally; they need never be done again. You can get the best and most dexterous teacher in the world he can do what has been done with the best apparatus in the best light;
anything that is very minute or subtle
you can magnify or repeat from another point of view, anything that is intricate you can record with extreme slowness; you can show the facts a mile off or six inches off and all that
your class teacher need do now is to spend five minutes in getting out the film he wants, 10 minutes in reading over the corresponding lecture notes, and then he can run the film, give the lesson, question his class upon it, note what they miss and how they take it, run the film agair for a second scrutiny, and get out for the subsequent study of the class the ample supply of diagrams and pictures neeedd to fix the lesson. Can there be any comparison between the educational efficiency of the two methods?" Mr. Wells seems to doubt it. Never
theless such a comparison was recently made in Detroit under the direction . of Mr. J. H. Wilson, supervisor of visual education, with gratifying results. The subject chosen for the experiment was an educational film explaining "How We hear." The children were separated into two groups, one of which was to see the film, and the other of which was to receive an oral lesson in the same faets.
The film was shown twice to the
visual class in the astonishing short I
space of 13 minutes. The oral lesson required 55 minutes, the. teacher taking great pains to impress upon her pupils the same information contained in the film. At the close of the lesson the two separate classes were given a written examination on the subject. Then the papers were col-

When you get tired of mud in the back yard, lay a path of concrete. WTien the floor in the basement rots out, make a permanent one of this same material. Put in fence posts of concrete that will be good when your grandchildren are grown. Build foundations, doorsteps, horsetroughs, septic tanks, silos, of concrete. The use of this artificial rock is one of the blessings of a progressive age. The recipe is as simple as that for making bread. Anybody can use it.

visual group in the first test was 64.7$ j per cent as compared with 61.5-per)
cent made by the oral group that is to say, the visual gain was 3.26 per cent. A month after a second memory test was given on the same subject, and this time the visual group averaged 63.9 per cent a gain of 4.1 per cent over the 59.5 per cent average made by the oral mibils.
While the percentage of gain in this
experiment might have been even greater if the subject chosen had been "How We See" instead of "How We Hear," it is large enough to be well worth while, especially when the saving of time is considered.

IN 1910 the consumption of gasoline in the United States approximated seven hundred and fifty million gallons. In 1920 the consumption of gasoline was well over four billion gallons. This tremendous increase in demand came with a spectacular suddenness, which strained the resources of the petroleum industry. To meet it the Burton process was developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). While no claim is made that the Burton process is wholly responsible for the increased efficiency of refining practices, the fact remains that without it the tremendous increase of gasoline from crude oil would have been impossible. In 1910 the average recovery of gasoline from the crudes of the United States was approximately 1 1 per cent; in 1920 this average had been increased to upwards of 30 per cent. While this Company was producing gasoline in sufficient quantities to meet the ever -increasing demand upon its facilities, it also was confronted with the necessity of finding a market for the vast number of products made from that part of the petroleum which could not be converted into gasoline. New uses for these by-products had to be found or created if gasoline were to be relieved of more than its just share of ; the cost of refining, thereby keeping the price of this fuel within the reach of all. It required all the knowledge, experience, skill, resourcefulness, ingenuity, and technical ability which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) could bring into play. The Company has a just pride in its success in finding added fields of usefulness for old by-products, as well as for having developed new by-products of use and value. Thus does the faithfulness of a big institution, fortified by science, ability, and a will to be truly useful, function to the advantage of all.
