SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1920 Results Of Children's Year The effect of the campaign for improvement of the childhood of the nation during Children's Year and the follow-up work that has been carried on through Child Welfare organiza- tions and the Children's Bureau in Washington will never be accurately known, but a suggestion of the bene- fit that has resulted from the agita- tion of the subjects of infant mor- tality and the institution of centers in which the health of the children of the community should be watched and safeguarded is given in the re- port, which shows a material de- crease in the death rate for children under the age of one year and an im- provement in the vitalstatistics which have been so inadequately kept in this country. The real value cf the campaign to improve the conditions under which | the children of the nation are born and live, if they are strong enough to withstand them, will not be seen until the present generation of babies has grown to maturity. But every year should add to the improvement of conditions and the effect upon the childhood affected by them can be awaited without any particular im- patience. However, the encouraging report of the infant mortality sur- vey should serve to stimulate interest Vote By Mail Provision has been made by which the voter who must be absent from home on election day may cast his vote by mail. The progress is not at all involved. There is no red tape to be untied before the privilege is secured. There is nothing to pre- vent the man or woman who knows that he or she will be unable to vote in person on November 2 from secur- ing for himself or herself that privi- lege through the mails. The injustice of disfranchising the considerable number of people who are unavoidably kept away from their voting homes on election day has long been deplored.

They are never made the "feature" of the program, they al- ways are cast in the modest role of filler. It is all the public will accept in the way of instruction, and even so, more often than the audience would seek of its own accord. The movie as an educational factor is employed in schools, in churches, in clubs, everywhere that it is advis- able to present facts in such a way as not to discourage the audience. There are films to show nearly every- thing, from the Bible story to the latest developments of science. They furnish the way to learning made easy, a popular thoroughfare to travel, though it remains to be seen just where it brings out. As a means to an end in education the movies have their value. But as a substitute for the mental applica- tion that alone produces education, they fall short, very far short. The acquisition of facts is not education, but the power to use the mind, a pur- SIX--LAKE SHORE pose that the movies not only do not serve but tend to discourage. Learn- ing may be made entirely too easy to be lasting and that which is gained through the mere looking at pictures is likely to be of that type. Let us by all means use what the science of photography has put into our hands, but let us not abuse it to the hurt of the young people who are seeking cducation. 1101 Central Avenue Wilmette, Ill.

It should be accepted by the absentee voter as an evidence of recognition of the effort to preserve to him his rights of citizenship and as a means of dis- charging his duty as a citizen. It re- quires only a little foresight and trouble. And it opens the way to participation in a most important event. STANLEY STEAM CAR WILLIAM N. SCHNEIDER SALES & SERVICE HUBBARD WOODS Tel.

How It Grows HEN fifteen telephones are.added on a street on which there are 100 telephone users, an additional distribution cable may be necessary. When the same thing hap- pens on six or eight nearby streets, served from the same cable terminal, there must be new main cables from terminal boxes to the exchange. Such increases from several localities soon call for additions to switchboard and terminal room facilities. Finally a new exchange, with its costly equipment, must be built, and extensive re-distribution made of the outside plant. These are some of the elements which enter into the cost of supply- ing telephone service to growing communities.
