To make the situation more like blue Monday still,, II picked up aotme books and papers 'that lay nearby to put in the stove, which of course i• .much •cheaper than coal is. Glancing at one'•df ,them II saw 'it was' a recent copy of the :Seaforth News and d read the notice where the council of the To'wmrsdrip ofM,cKiltop, after the lst •of kelarch, is going to put thehounds of ,the law after those who are in arrears with 'their 'tax ,payments.

RO'B'OT 'TEACHER NEXT? So many wonderful i•trventions, are crowding fast otme on top of another these days, it seems within the realm of possibility that some day not far in 'the .future will see the janitor as the most important human on the ,staffs 'of our wheals, and the actual teaching will be ,do'ne by a battery of robot 'teachers,, in, same farm of dev- elopment. of the !talkie •p'notnre and maylbe that :other ,wonderful invention, the electric eye, The 'following article shows' 'What has been a'ccomp'lished' already along this line.

IBM this ,is about what happens when the resources of the film indus- try are united with Ithase of •the edu tabor, brought 'into the olassroo'm, and made a regular pant' of the teach- ing equipment. Until. lately many educators have been proneto look on the soca educational talking motion pict ,with doubtful( eyes. Was it .merel !fad or was it a real find, they as1 themselves. Was it merely anon w:ay of amusing the students, or it have real educational value? !At the University of Chicago did: not think it was a mere fad, looked on it as a real find, and when the much -talked -of "new 'plan" was being. worked out, talking pictures were enlisted as an integral part of the course and given an equal place with the textbook and .the lecture and the classroom den cnstrabion. Were they right in putting so 'm faint in a comparatively new, and ried medium, was the question many people asked. The preparation of .the piotures went alongstl'owly until finel- y on the (lith of November last the first 'two •of a proposed series of 20 ictures on pthysical science were fin- ished and exhibited in Chicago, New York and Washington. Always for 'a popular angle he newspapers hailed the arrival of "Mickey IMldlecu'le" as a competitor n• mentatiowith this medium. The first two pi�otures finished were en5itl- ed "Oxidation and (R'eduction and The Molecular Theory of Matter," w!lnle "Energy and its 'Transflorm'a- tion" wlas the next to be "short" and is to be shown shortly, '"Eleotrostatics" tiled the "Vellolti'ty of Light" are the ,next to be made and the other topics e aras follows': Matter ` and Force, ,Sound, 'Heat and 'Work, Inteelference of 'Light, S'pectrosc'opy, E'lec'tromag- netisni, Chemical Egilil br'i'm, Veloc- ity of Chemical Reactiams, Electricity and Matter, Aitomlic Sltructure as .Re- lated to 'Chemical Reaction, E'lectro- c'h'emis'try, 'Corton and Iltsi 'Com- pounds, Composition' of theIAltmos- plh,ere, me Solar System, Time and t: the Calendar, Eclipses of the ,S'u'n and Moony T'he C'hangin'g !Surface of the Earth, Beneath the 'E'arth's !Surface, Weather and, Foreca'abing. With ad'1 the 'magic that can be wroughtt b'y modern cinema technique, the university people !believe the lat- ter pictures :c'a'n be n'talde ever. more interesting and vivid than the one al- ready o'onnpleted.

After the 'film is shown the class, it is brought out, the students will under- stand the actual experiment, more readily if it is actually .performed for them. But if the school does not have the 'p'raper equipment, or if the inst- ruotor does not have time, the stud- ents can see the experiment :penform- ed nevertheless, if the films are used, Owtiin,g the 'films, of course, is not such an easy matter for "many schools in times like these, .and the cost is what is keeping many schools. 'from using them the university sales people find, The films sell for $50 each, or $415 if bought in 'the entire series of 20, and the .projector costs $570, price of $114150 is ,made for the whole outfit and the 20 physical science pic- tures. So engrossed 'have they been with this first series that 'the university and picture people have not given a great deal of th'oug'ht to the other three series, but their possibilities of - far wide scope to the imagination, iSumm,ing up the value of 'the pic- tures, 'Vice-iPres•ident 'Woodward . sees five amain advantages the great value of animated action; 'the "effectiveness with which ideas and natural laws can be iliusltrated by industrial processes, showing the student the connection between theoretical work and its ap- • plication in industry; the .vivid' im- pression which the pictures make on the mind Iaf the student the time and money saving 'ad'van'tage; the Super- iority of the filth demonstrations to laboratory -ex'perimen'ts for longe classes, gi'vin'g every s•tudent a good view of twhat is going on.
