Here an eminently successful teacher suggests new ways of weaving this familiar visualizer into the classroom routine. The Deadly House Fly Better kill one fly in April than millions in August. The March number will give space to a timely, delightful, and readily adapted health talk on the fly, planned by Dr. H. E. Kleinschmidt for children of seven to twelve. He visualizes the subject by means of a clever "bag: of tricks" — simple properties secured from the home pantry and the ten-cent store. This tails, with its intriguingFrench illustrations, is reproduced by special permission of the T.eague of Red Cross Societies. Word Posters An explanation of the ingenious plan by which an ardent visualist teaches highschool English classes the distinctions between homonyms and between various meanings of the same word. Reproductions of the word posters submitted by students illustrate her plan. "When Women Work" The Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor reports on the production of its propaganda film for publicizing Bureau standards of short hours, equal pay, and right working conditions for women. This article, originally promised for January, was crowded out of that issue. Motion Pictures in Business Another story of the screen in industry, this time recounting the way in which a great railroad is bending the film to its educational program, both within and without its own organization.
