“YALE'S HISTORICAL FILMS GAININ USE 20 Universities and State Boards Adopt Pictures in Educational Series. @pecial Dispatch to The Star. : NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 19.— ‘Yale University's historical films are to be used in a natfon-wide program adopted by 20 universities and State boards of education to promote “an appreciation of American traditions and ideals through a better understanding of American history,” Prof. Frank E, Spaulding, chairman of the depart- ment of education at Yale, announced today. ‘The pi m is to be undertaken as e result of arrangements mades duiing the last year by Dr. William H. Dudley, director of visual instruction of the ex- tension division of the University of ‘Wisconsin, who received a year's leave of absence to enable him to co-operate with Yale in this work. “Working together in ‘this project, which is regarded as thie most signif- icant co-operative movement of its kind ever undertaken, over 20 leading State universities, State departments of edu- cation and municipal boards of educa- tion have already pledged their active co-operation to the Yale University press,” Prof. Spaulding said. Hope to Reach Millions. “It is perhaps the first time that educational institutions throughout the entire vountry have joined forces so closely “in & constructive campaign to promote an appreciation of the tradi- tions and ideals of America, through a better understanding of American his- tory. on the part of millions of the people of the United States. The proj- ect, represents university extension work of a high order planned on a scale of | unusual magnitude. “Basically, the program provides for | more widespread and systematic use of Yale's unique and well known series of historical motion pictures, ‘The Chron- icles of America Photoplays,’ Which were produced under the direction of distingifished historians from a num- ber of institutions, and under the su- pervision of a committee of the Council of Yale University. These films which reproduce, with painstaking accuracy in every detall, striking incidents in the history of the United States from 1492 until 1865, are recognized by the edu- cational world as the most significant contribution yet made to visual educa- tiorr and as the most effective visual aid. yet created to assist in the teaching of American history Patriotism Stimulated. “Apart from the service rendered by the films in the schools, they have ved to be a powerful instrument for the stimulation of patriotism and good citizenship among native Ameri- cans and foreign-born citizens alike. In addition to the wide use made of the g::“’" in many. American cities from ton-to Honolulu, prints have been shipped. for service in Great Britain, France, China and Japan. The present program- has been planned to afford .thousands of schools and communities: the opportunity to make more extensive and intensive use of the films as a result of co-operation | among the Yale University Press, the various State, universities and. other or- |- ganizations associated with the press in the work-and the schools of the coun- Ta, this end complete sets of the e by the Yale Press with the extension of Btate univer- they .are made ighout “their re- spective ;school in a given |/ State is thus given the opportunity of using theta for edycational purposes. ““Courses for Adults. “In_addition, the “school, a patriotic organization, hurch, business or pro- fessional.club, parent-teacher assocla- tion, or local group in each community, co-operating ~with the school, ‘sponsors_an_adult education ‘Amerigan_history, in which of the: community are en- course is conducted by the rities. “The Yale University Press provides in each case definite teaching aids, pre- pared by members of the department of educatfon of Yale University and based on ‘the results of the extensive experimental work it has carried on in recent’ years in the field of visual in- l"lzlu:!lnn. l‘zddltm;ml mlkll;;!l i !klll!- led on “fequest for use speakers and those in charge of the adult ocourses. The Yale University Press acts as clearing house for the ex- change ideas and experiences be- tween teachers, as a means of promot- ing the most effective pedagogical re- sults. ‘Widespread Interest Aroused. “Each State unit plans to work ac- tively throughout the year in bringing the subject to the attention of all the schools in its territory. Such great interest has already been created that the prediction is made, on the basis of & conservajive estimate, that over 2,500 communities will be using these motion pictures this Winter. “In New England, the Massachusetts State Board of Education is co-operat- ing with Yale University Press in the carrying out of the program outlined; and in New Jersey the Board of Edu-| cation of Newark. Elsewhere leadership has been- generally assumed by State universities, such as Indiana University, University of Wisconsin, University of ‘Texas, University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of Minnesota, University . of Coloraco, University of North Dakota, University of Nebraska, Iowa Staté College, State College of ‘Washington, University of California and University of Hawail.” FILM, “NEWFOUNDLAND,” TO BE SHOWN TONIGHT | Maj.

His epigram was headlined in | the French press next day. France's practical Utopian had added another | brilllant bon mot to the long list he has | contributed to European political | thought. But these words of Briand were more than a bon mot. They will be repeated | and deserve to be repeated in the United States as in Europe because they sum | up with the wisdom and terseness of | a Socrates the astounding transforma- | tion to which the universe has been | subjected from 1914 to the present day. The ratification of the Briand-Kellogg pact by the American Senate—welcome as it is in Europe—is but another link in that long chain of events. Now that finally we have taken a political gov- ernmental step in common with the Old World powers and America finds herself united with Europe in abhoring war, if not in preventing it, this dictum from Briand’s epigrammatic lips strikes with redoubled force. “There is not a peace of Europe and a peace of America; there is a peace of the world,” is the French foreign min- ister's way of saying that 85 American | Senators can be wrong and that we | have been duped into entanglements with Europe in_spite of ourselves. Briand would be the first to disclaim this, The | truth of what he says stands far above | party jockeyings or nationalistic ambi- tions. If he had phrased it less per- fectly Briand might have declared that the first World War proved conolusively that hereafter there will be either a world war again or world peace. America’s Part Held Inevitable. | And behind that lies the simple fact | ~—repugnant to many Americans, but| admitted by some others and unques- tioned by Europe—that hereafter any great European conflict almost inevita- bly will 8rag America into it. We say we won't nght again in Europe, or with any part of Europe. For us that seems to end it, especially since our reasons are so well founded. But serious Euro- pean statesmen have one pointed reply. “How is America going to stay out?” they ask. And precisely because most of Europe doubts that we can stay out the Benate’s ratification of the anti- war pact has a decided significance on this side of the Atlantic. | Every nation in Europe deeply prefers in some measure we should “come in” to help maintain peace than that we shouid “stay out” only to be forced in when another war comes. Perhaps Europe knows better than we how near the United States is to the Old World. Leaving the Versailles treaty, the League covenant and the Kellogg pact entirely aside, Europeans see American ir- revocably in Europe and Western Hemisphere's fate firmly bound to that of the Eastern Hemisphere. From April, 1917, the United States, against its own wishes, has moved closer and closer to Europe, and in the opinion of the statesmen on this side of the Atlantic will move closer yet. War Danger Cited. Lindbergh linked New York with Paris in 33 hours in a phenomenal good will gesture.

If that should happen one day, would the United States insist there is still one war and one peace for Europe and another for America? The Old World authorities likewise have watched for 10 years America’s constantly growing economie bonds with Europe. Just as every invention bdinds us closer to Europe, 8o does évery com- mercial ship. In 1926 the total of United States exports to Europe alone were valued at $2,309,705,000, and in 1927 even more n that. The United States imports by sea during 1928 were $3,718,705,000 and our exports by sea reached $4,146,789,000. In the same year Americas gold exports reached $103,844,000. Continental business men who scan these figures are almost fright- ened by them. Then they ask: “How can the United States remain aloof from Europe and be indifferent to our wars when their formidable prosperity is so dependent on our welfare and stability? They echo Briand's sentiments that in the end there is only world peace—or world war. U. 8. Money Influx Cited. ‘These same statisticlans are not un- mindful of the tremendous influx of American money into Europe. They envisage the United States as collector of debts for 62 years—the final credit of the last war—and refuse to believe any new war could fail seriously to af- fect America. They turn to the stag- gering 1ist of American post-war loans, which, if the reparations bonds are finally ‘floated, will only tough new heights. They recall that during 1027 alone foreign government loans assumed by American bankers totaled $530,000,- 000. That from the same sources $431,~ 989,000 came abroad in loans for for- eign citles, states and provinces. That foreign corporations received from America $338,239,000 more. In one year American loans to Europe totaled $1,- 300,229,000. ‘That also is part of America’s mam- moth stake in Europe, although offi- cially we are out of Europe, “How far Entire Stock of HAIR GOODS 1 OFF _/_ i Regular Tag Prices EAUTIFULFrenchand domestic Transforma- tions, Waves, Hydabobs, Puffs, Switches, Curls.

The answer is “Not out at i “Head Over Heels in Europe.” Thus Briand's statement that there is no separate European or American peace, founded on much more than idle oratory.

These European opinions are not meant to scare the United States away from Europe or a text for bigger foreign entanglements. They are offered as evidence that all foreign entanglements do not originate in the State Department or in Senate treaties. They also may be considered as evidence that the Senate's approval of the anti-war tre: may serve as a valuable reassurance the Old World that America has more than a dollar interest in Europe and that she really wants in her own way to help Europe keep peace.

(#).—Harry Cran- dall has quit stunting before the movie camera to fly the gir mail “straight and level.” Once during his stunt days Crandall's alde was dropping flour over the side of a plane to make “smoke” for a movie when a full sack fell on the rudder bar. The plane dived 800 feet. NewYork A New Yorker at Large Tony Sarg's Workshops Prove Interesting Places NEW YORK (#).—In the den of his studio near Washington Square , Tony Sarg has a pair of table lamps fitted with merry-go-round shades. One consists of an outer cylinder of parchment, stationary and with-square openings at intervals along its sides, and an inner shade which revolves on a pivot when the heat of the lighted bulb passes through fanlike vents at its top.” The inner section has a con- tinuous border of pastoral scenery around it, and a base on which are mounted tiny wooden figures—a farmer and his horse-drawn hayrack, youths with scythes over their shoulders and harvest maids with baskets of grain. The other shade works on the same principle, but its outer portion is in the likeness of a cylindrical house with two tiers of windows, past which, when the inner section revolves, march images of butlers and servant girls. The carousel effect achieved when the inner part of the shade turns was accomplished by the adaptation of a simple engineering rule—that of mak- ing heat operate a fan. Sarg devised the shades for his own amusement, and for the adornment of a workshop al- ready teeming with bright gadgets and geegaws. His friends importuned him to make such shades for them, and Sarg, complying as rapidly as his other tasks permit, remarks that it is such an easy trick that he is surprised some- body didn't think of it long ago.
