Mr. Ryan refused to pay for

‘‘It was a better aircraft than
when it came from the factory

had to be done largely by hand,
instead of by factory methods.”

The present tests are probably
being given to study the fuel j

"MORE LEARNING IN LESS TIME"
DAVENPORT, IOWA —Out of
the tragedy of war there is emerg
ing into full bloom a dual instru
ment that is destined to become a
tremendous force for the advance
ment of education and vocational
and scientific training. This instru- -
ment which is comprised of the 16
millimeter motion picture projector
and sound films, has been of in
estimable value in our prosecution
of the war.
The American educational sys
tem—a $2,000,000,000 a year enter
prise—has made considerable use
of this medium for imparting
knowledge, but something akin to
a revolution in teaching techniques
appears to he in the making as a
result of its successful application
in war.
It is only a matter of time after
victory when every school in the
nation will have one or a whole
battery of these projectors, depend
ing on the number of students, to
aid teaching staffs in their task of
educating the millions of pupils.
Our educators will have access to
an almost limitless variety of sound
motion pictures from public and
private libraries to aid them in in
structing all classes from the kin
dergarten on up through the grade
and high schools and colleges.
With the aid of projector and
film, teachers will find their tasks
made infinitely easier and more
f>roductive and their students will
earn faster and retain more of the
essential details of their subjects.
The United States Navy is so
impressed with this mode of train
ing that it has printed a manual
entitled “More Learning In Less
Time” for the guidance of Its train
ing staff Through the use of pro
jectors and especially made sound
motion pictures to meet specific
needs, the Navy has saved lip to
SO per cent and more In the time
of training its personnel.

Alaskans are cautioned that
they will not be permitted to en

occompanied by parents or
guardian or certain enlistment

upon request from the Comman
