WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 17 FIGHT ILLITERACY WITH MOVIES, PLAN Business Demands Modern Methods in Public Schools Chicago, April 7--"The biggest business in which the state is engaged is education," declared H. L. Clarke of the Society for Visual Education, "and it deserves the use of the best modern methods. ""No progressive business man would dream of neglecting to put into effect an improvement which promised to save time and money and multiply results. No progressive school system can afford to delay in adopting meth- ods which economize time and ef- fort, thus making it possible for the school to meet the more exacting re- quirements of today. "Motion pictures used in the elemen- tary grades of the public schools will expedite the teaching of boys and girls, just as in the case of the gov- ernment's great vocational project they are serving to speed the teaching of new trades to ex-soldiers." Tradition, conservatism and the plea of poverty, according to Mr. Clarke, have for years limited the free development of our schools, To- day no less an authority than the United States Chamber of Commerce forward with this significant state- ment: "American business will suffer as long as ignorance prevails. The school problem is too great for business to ignore." Illiteracy Hits Puruse. "The fact is," said Mr. Clarke, "il- literacy is touching the American pocketbook and the situation is now being faced from a new viewpoint. What is the quickest and best way out?

State CHICAGO 16 N. Wabash answers the question in a recently published article in which he says: 'With motion pictures it will be pos- sible to wage the battle against il- literacy as it has not been possible to do with any other educational equip- ment. Within the celluloid film lies the most powerful weapon for the at- tack against ignorance the world has ever known.'" ~ Merely "going to the movies" is not what Dr. Tigert is offering as a panacea for the evils of ignorance, comments Mr. Clarke. "What the Commissioner refers to is a bonafied educational and industrial films like those which the Society for Visual Education is making available to schools--films produced not for enter- tainment, but for instruction in school and shop.

It is'true that taxpayers are groaning, but that is a habit they formed long before the burdens of the recent war were felt. Those informed on the subject know that school filmg are in reality money-savers because they are time-savers."

Hancock Dear Neighbor: Each year brings to the citizens of our commonwealth a more enlightened and aroused civic mind. The tax payers are beginning to realizee that their civic affairs have too long been dominated by inefficient or corrupt professional politi- Our taxes are needlessly high, due to the wasteful methods of those in public office; the attempted abolition of the "civil service" system is merely an attempt to perfect the political machine of the professional bosses; real merit, and the ability to perform the duties of office have been too often ignored in selecting our candidates, with the result that those who have made politics their business have prospered at the As a result, the voters are now ready to take control of affairs and they expect to speak through the power of the ballot. At the primaries on Aprli 11th you will nominate two Republicans for the office of State Representative in the There are nine Republican candidates running for those two places and you must determine who those two shall be.
