A plan to institute a library of film slides to be rented to elementary schools in Kansas to aid them in the instruction of history, geography, and most of the sciences, is being worked on by the bureau of visual instruction which is a department of the Extension Division.
The outstanding feature of the film slides is their cheapness compared with the old glass slides which were formerly used, according to E. C. Dunt, head of the burners department in the school slides, which resemble a piece of common moving picture film about three or four feet long and carrying from 25 to 50 pictures, can be rolled into a small cylinder and shipped for 2 cents, while 50 glass slides cost $10 to $40 for postcards sent to schools in the western part of the state.
The plan depends on the bureau being able to replace 59 projecting latters in schools and churches. As soon as this is done the bureau will fit a library with two films of each of the alba advertised in the S. V. E. Industrial Picture the national educational and religious film. Five dollars a library fee will be charged all schools using the library.

Chancellor Says Universities Gain Prestige in U. S.
Lundley Delivers Address for Annual Convention of Universities in Chicago
"In spite of the flood of severe criticism, the universities seem to be winning added prestige in the United States," it was stated by Chancellor Richard Drexel at a dress before the American Association of State Universities in Chicago Monday morning. "The public, as never before, is showing its confidence in higher education by greatly increased admissions and by larger individual efforts."
The chancellor delivered the opening address of the annual meeting of the association on the topic, "The University of Michigan," and invited 49 universities were in attendance at the Hotel LaSalle to hear the message of the association preside.
Discusses Labor Attitude
Two considerations which indicates the incomplete competent of the public mind by American universities, and two augestions as to how the universities may better perform their functions, were discussed by the chalmers.
"The attitude of organized labor toward institutions of higher learning, both endowed and state supported, as expressed in the founding of labor colleges, is a problem which chairmen have been struggling to dismantle. Chancellor Lindley stated, "The schools, through their contributions, have improved and increased production and the means of distribution, bringing consumption to an unprecedented level. In too many cases this has resulted in high unemployment; the expense of the future; too many people are buying on installments, mortgaging the future."
Public Deserves Control
In his speech, the chancellor told the assembly that the American public desires "the measure of control that will insure wide expenditures and the loyal devotion to all social needs because in the end they are the persons to whom the universities are responsible.
"The scholar should be trained to function as a citizen, and should be fully protected in the exercise of every citizen-right enjoyed by others," said Channel Lion Linder. "The university is duty to deny this right to the scholar, while according it to the lawyer, the physician, the business man and the farmer, help to create a breed of teachers as timid as rabbits, and a member of a desirable status in society."
"Just as the university in the interest of freedom of thought and freedom of teaching should resist pressure from government and public opinion, the university should seek an administrator of government."
In concluding his address the chancellor summarized the real objectives to be sought in university training. "The most fundamental need of all is the teaching of a sound philosophy of living—a rational art of consumption, knowledge and wisdom, forced by a sufficient knowledge of the technic of salesmanship whereby the individual may steer his way to worthwhile objectives."
