TEACHING BY PICTURES This is an age of pictures. In books, news papers, magazines and on the sereen the world’s panorama is presented to us through the medium of pietures. But the use of pictures as an educa tional aid is yet in its infancy. + Much experimenting has already been done with @ view to the employment of moving picture: in the schools, and considerable progress has been made in their actual introduction into the school- room. Now comes the Eastman Kodak Company with the announeément of an ambitious program for, the extension of visual edueatica, “ee great ching: + jarge series of educational films are to be devploped “for Use in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades of grammar schools and in junior high schols. These*are to be made in cooperation with the: National Educational Association and the Mo Picture Producers and Distributors of America, of which Will H. Hays, former postmaster-general. is the president. School authorities of ten larg: cities, including New York, Chicago Angeles, will assist in planning the series. + Coming at a time when curriculum problems and Lo: areiseriously engaging the attention of educators, | this, plan to introduce moving pictures into the sehgols on an extensive scale may revolutionte teaching methods. The innovation should be wel- | conied and encouraged by all who are interested in | sound education. ‘ A girl’s well-formed nose is always a scenter } WOOD BRIDGES NOT FEASIBLE Banish the thought of wood bridges and stand out strongly “or concrete structures and the inter- est guarantee . Demand concrete bridges. They will really harden and become more enduring as the years pass by instead of having to be replaced every decade or so, as would certainly be the case with wood structures, Should wood bridges be built, at the approxi- mate cost of four million dollars, they would then cost the county $672,000 a year in the following items: interest at 6 per cent, $240,000; sinking fund at 4 per cent, $160,000; maintenance at 4 per cent, $160,000; operation, $72,000; insurance and advertising, $40,000. This is $72,000 more than is requested in the interest guarantee of $600,000 annually, and the bridges would have to be rebuilt in ten or twelve years. In the concrete bridges we would get some- thing that would stand for ages, and would be in perfect condition when automatically becoming the property of the county twenty-five years from now. It is generally conceded by contracting con- cerns and engineers that wood, pile and timber deck bridges, such as found on the shorter water spans of the over-sea highway, are unquestionably the cheapest in so far as the first cost is concern- ed. But such structures, even if treated with pre- servatives, have a very short life in salt water and salt air, and the elements, together with @hat de- structive little insect, the torredo, will completely rot out the wooden piles between low and high water in from five to ten years. They also afford less resistance to high winds than would concrete structures, But the greatest point in favor of the Turner proposal for concrete bridges is that they are to be completely constructed and in operation one year before the interest guarantee clause would become effective, and there can be but little reasonable doubt that the tolls will be sufficient to entirc!: liquidate the $600,000 annual interest and a cash amount over and above that sum. Key West, Monroe county and the Florida Keys will enjoy the great era of prosperity that the bridges are sure to bring. The bridges are to be finished and operated one year without any outlay on the part of the county, and there is every probability that Monroe county may never be called upon for any money in connection with the toll bridges, yet they become the property of the county in twenty-five years, and will be a tremendously valuable asset, a perfect mint as a money-maker for all time to come. That is why the people of Key West are keen- ly, enthusiastically interested in the interest guar- antee and in concrete bridges. That is why they are all, with negligible exceptions, going to vote “YES” in the referendum next Tuesday. The future of Key West practically depends on the outcome of Tuesday’s referendum. That is sufficient reason for The Citizen and every man and woman really and unselfishly interested in the welfare of their home town to cry out loudly the tremendous importance of the issue and urgently appeal for a solid vote of “Yes” next Tuesday. NEW FORD AIRPLANES On the occasion of a recent visit to President Coolidge at his summer camp, Edsel Ford discussed airplanes. In an interview given later, Mr. Ford elaborated. upon his company’s newest model, soor to be placed on the market. It is to be a monoplane. with a wing cpread of 8 feet, propelled by three Wright whirlwind 200 | horsepower, air cooled, nine-cylinder motors. The three-motor plane affords great power in getting off the ground, also provides the maximum factor of safety. Should one motor become disabled in flight, the other two would be able to complete the journey; while even in the improbable event that two should fail, the remaining. motor would enable the airplane to choose a landing place with- which | in a radium of 10 miles from an altitude of 1,000 feet, with a proportionately wider radium from a | greater height. The first 100 planes of this type will cost | 1 about $37,000 each, and Mr. Ford believes that there will be a waiting market for these first 100 | planes. He believes that mass production will fol- low in duc time at a lower cost. Ford's aerial freight lines now run from De- troit to Chicago and Cleveland, and will shortly be extended. In a little more than a year 295,000 1,644,000 pounds of freight carried. encourage others to go into the air transport busi- ness,” said Mr. Ford, “by showing them that it can be done, and by providing safe and sound shi the lowest possible cost.” ips at Probably no greater impetus could have been given to @ommercial aviation than the decision of | the Ford interests to go inte the manufacture and operation of airplanes on a large scale.
