While not yet so experienced as to discuss the question of thriving in duplex existence, I am quite ready to suggest that it is even harder to take unto yourself a bride and compile an issue of Moving Picture Age, all within the same 30 days! We trust the date and quality of this issue will entitle us again to hang up the sign "Business As Usual." * This month we are offering to the educator a group of writings of such quality and variety as should prove of both interest and practical value. Mr. Abrams' contribution to the Academy department points out the possibilities of the slide in a large state system of visual instruction; the continuation of Professor Ankeney's pedagogical discussion will hold the attention of those seeking to grasp the basic principles of visual education; Miss Stevens has outlined in capable style the work of her department in promulgating the use of motion pictures throughout Utah. Mr. Emery has provided another article on the use of slides in geography, and altogether we consider that the school man cannot read this issue without adding measurably to his authentic knowledge of visual instruction. Contributors will do well to take note of the Business Manager's announcement at the foot of this column. All editorial matters will be handled directly from this office, and I trust that contributors will bear this in mind. Let me emphasize one fact in connection with the department conducted by Mrs. Woodallen Chapman. The inception of this department should not be taken to mean that Moving Picture Age intends to confine its better-film activities to the work done by the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Chapman has authority from me to use in her department whatever better-film material she wishes, although the lists of approved films will of course be provided only by the reviewing committee of the Federation; and among the major articles in various issues are to appear discussions of the better-film services rendered by various organizations throughout the land. The Editor. ■ The enthusiastic support accorded Moving Picture Age in its efforts to be a recognized factor in the establishment and maintenance of high ideals and practices is thoroughly appreciated by the Business Office. It is our constant aim to merit the confidence and support equally of readers and advertisers. We have recently concluded a careful and detailed analysis of our advertising service and are convinced that the users of our columns will be better served through the cooperation of one advertising representative, who will visit and be familiar with commercial activities throughout the entire territory and will also be in direct personal touch with this office. Consequently the New York office of Moving Picture Age has been discontinued, dating from February 1, 1922. This step may be accepted by the advertiser as further indication of the increasingly complete and practical assistance extended to him by this publication. W. B. Patterson, Business Manager.
