DALLAS, Tex., March 1.—Radio should follow the motion picture as & definite part of schoolroom equipment teachers attending the convention of the department of superintendence of the National Education Association here believe. “Radio 1s developing new life,” Wil- ls A. Sutton, superintendent of schools at Atlanta, Ga., said. “It gets hold of that etheral element known as magination. Curiosity is aroused and more information is sought.” g Sutton told how Atlanta used radio devices in many courses and found the equipment of unusual value in illus- trating sclentific subjects. Scores of Devices Inspected. Scores of radio devices were inspect- o4 by the educators vesterday. follow- ing Sutton's address. ixteen branches of the department ‘were to continue business sessions to- day. Poor lighting in American school- rooms s impairing the vision of thou- sands of children, George D. Strayer of Columbta University told educators here yesterday at the convention of the department of superintendents. “We need throughout the United States an overhauling of old school buildings, and in many cases the sbandonment of building and class- rooms that cannot be properly lighted,” he said. Vision Impairment Stressed. Mr. Strayer declared that “the fail- ure to provide adequate daylight and artificlal light is responsible for the impairment of the eyesight of tens of_thousands of children.” Miss Hazel Crane Hadley, director of special classes in the Ohio State ent of Education, estimated that 12 per cent of all school children suffer from defective vision.

NEW YORK, March 1.—The “battle of attritlon” tactics of the allles on the western front under the general- ship of Joffre and Foch wore out the allies more than they wore out the Germans, charges Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer in the Baldwin cabinet, whose “The World Crisis, 1916-19: was released by Charles Scribne Sons todhy. Backing his criticism by “which do not appear to have at all been appreciated even in the most ex- pert circles,” he says that “ongthe terms of 1915, 1916 and 1917, the Ger- man man power was sufficient to last indefinitely. In fact, in the three years of the allled offensives on the western front the Germans actually gained to the extent of 1,739,000 men more than their losses. Weaker After Offensive. “The result of every allied offensive was to leave us relatively weaker— and in some cases terribly weaker— than the enemy. The aggregate result of all of then from 1916 to 1917 (after deducting thé losses on both sides in the German attack on Verdun) was a French and British casualty list of 4,123,000, compared to a German total of 2,166,000. The process of attrition was at work, but it was on our own side that its ravages fell and not on the German.” Gen, Joffre, in 1015, “The worst year of the Joffre regime,” eclipsed all the “‘errors of the first shock year,” by an “insensate obstinacy and lack of comprehension,” says the writer, “when without any large numerical superiority, without adequate artillery or munitions, without any novel me- chanical method, without any pretense of surprise or maneuver, without any reasonable hope of victory, he contin- ued to hurl the heroic but limited man- hood of France at the strongest en- trenchments, at uncut wire and in- numerable machine-guns served with cold skill.” "It was their own offensive, not ours, that consummated the ruin of the Germans,” he continues. ‘“They ‘were worn down not by Joffre, Nivelle and Haig, but by Ludendorff * * ¢ It our whole strategy and tactics had been directed to compel the enemy to attack, would not the final victory have been sooner won?" " Beores” Nnfict of East. Churchill scores the negiect of the “eastern theaters” of war, and says h and allied war have served our in the year 1916, would have surprise attack upon the Dar- The Germans, likewise, he says, missed an opportunity in the East to decisively dispose of Russia and to take over Rumanja’s grain and oil when Verdun was chosen as the ob- Jective. The order in which the events of 1917 broke the deadlock of mutual “butehering” is important, says the author. “If the allies had been left to face the collapse of Russia without being sustained by the intervention of the United States, it seems certain that figures France could not have survived the ?tu- ‘and the war would have ended a peace by negotiation, or, in other a‘German vi ““The total defut of Gérmany,” he says, “was due to three cardinal mis- give you PRICE, JOFFRE WORE OUT ALLIES MORE THAN GERMANS, SAYS CHURCHILL CHURCHILL.
