The test is being conducted by a committee of educational experts appointed by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, the chairman being Dean William C. Ruediger of George Washington University. The films have been prepared under the direction of Harley L. Clarke, president of the Fox Film Corporation, who has since 1920 been keenly interested in visual education, and it has been largely through his interest that the library of films has been made for special use in the schools. There are about 35,000,000 boys and girls in the grade schools, Mr. Clarke says, of whom 80 percent never go beyond the stage of education. A little enrichment of knowledge for these children and the visual presentation of a wider vision of life is bound to raise their economic value, he thinks. The Fox films being shown in Washington were prepared and supervised by educators of highest standing in their respective lines, and are being shown to the boys and girls who were chosen by the governors of the states at the suggestion of President Hoover. While these pictures are very interesting, they are not intended for relaxation. Before this Fox library of educational pictures, educators did not know how to make one, and the producers, who knew how to make them, did not know what they should contain. The inevitable result heretofore has been that with very few exceptions real educational films, adapted to the school curricula, did not exist. The remains of an ancient Greek city have been dug up in Italy. We suppose they know it is a Greek city from the number of restaurants.

Houdon’s Bust of Washington Chosen It Will Be Official Picture for 200th Anniversary of First President BY A FAMOUS SCULPTOR Life Mask of Washington Made at Mount Vernon. (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The Houdon Bust of George Washington at Mount Vernon Virginia has been chosen by the bargain offered him by a horsedealer. The passing mood impressed Houdon as so characteristic of the man that he immortalized it in his bust. The result in the opinion of critics, is to give the likeness striking vigor and power. In reporting to the Hon. Sol Bloom Associate Director of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, the committee of historians and artists appointed to select this official portrait of Washington stated that all available likenesses of Washington had been studied. All had their individual merits, but the committee was unable to arrive at a majority vote on any one picture. Choice Was Unanimous Unanimous choice fell instead on the Houdon Bust. Selection of this was further determined by the fact that, as modeled from the living figure of Washington it has every guarantee of absolute accuracy in presenting Washington at the prime of his life, and because the bust is beyond question a great artistic masterpiece in every respect. Finally the bust was chosen because, by being More Big Game in National Forests Increased Numbers of Deer But Fewer Bear in California, Says Report Big game animals in the National Forests now number more than a million head. A gain of approximately 5 per cent in 12 months is shown by the annual wild game "census" of the U.S. Forest Service. The total big game population of 1,973,111 is an approximation of the number in the 151 national forests as of the first of this year, the figures belong based partly on actual count, partly on estimates by experienced local forest officers. Gulp Chiefly Deer BY A FAMOUS SCULPTOR Life Mask of Washington Made at Mount Vernon. (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The Houdon Bust of George Washington at Mount Vernon, Virginia, has been chosen by the United States George Washington Bi-centennial Commission as the subject for the official Washington portrait which it will distribute over the country in its plans for organizing the nation's celebration of the two hundred anniversary of Washington's birth in 1932. Work of Great Frenchman In circulating this protrait of Washington, the Bi-centennial Commission will make known to Americans the work of a great Frenchman recognized as one of the foremost portrait sculptors of all time. Thus a further contribution will be made toward payment of the debt which George Washington owed to Lafayette and to the French for timely aid during the struggle for independence. Jean Antoline Houdon lived from 1741 to 1828. Born the son of a domestic in the employ of a courtier, he rose like Mollere to be an outstanding figure of the Eighteenth Century and one of the glories of French culture. While Houdon is known also for imaginative sculpture, his fame rests chiefly on a series of 200 busts, a collection forming one of the monuments of world art. Besides his bust of Washington, he also made likenesses of Benjamin Franklin, John Marshall, Rousseau, Mollere and Voltaire. Page from American History The circumstances of Houdon's selection to execute a likeness of Washington are themselves on interesting page in American history. On June 22, 1784, the year after the successful close of the Revolution, the Legislature of Virginia resolved "that measures be taken for procuring a statute of General Washington, of the finest marble and best workmanship." After much consultation, in which Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin took an active part, Houdon already at the height of his fame, was selected as the most reliable and proficient artist. Made Life Mack Washington himself has left a record in his dairies of Houlon's stay at Mount Vernon for the purpose of modeling this bust from close observation and measurement of Washington's features and figure. He also made a life-mask of Washington for correction of the bust. Both mask and bust served as models for the statue of Washington had been studded. All had their individual merits, but the committee was unable to arrive at a majority vote on any one picture. Choice Was Unanimous Unanimous choice fell instead on the Houdon Bust. Selection of this was further determined by the fact that, as modeled from the living figure of Washington it has every guarantee of absolute accuracy in presenting Washington at the prime of his life, and because the bust is beyond question a great artistic masterpiece in every respect. Finally the bust was chosen because, by being photographed from several angles, it provides a variety of portraits, all artistic and all authentic. In photographic form the Houdon Bust will now be made familiar all over the country by the Bi-centennial Commission during the celebration of the birth of George Washington, beginning on February 22 and lasting until Thanksgiving Day in 1932. On the Sidewalks of New York BY OBSERVER (Corrrespondence to The Gazette) NEW YORK LIFE Old New Yorkers never get tired of watching the unending and varied panorama of the life that flows through the big city's streets. In one block the other day we passed a cripple with both legs entirely gone and a few feet farther on encountered a man on stilts. The latter stood ten feet tall and halted right in the stream of traffic to read his paper, just as casually as the man on a corner in a village. Of course, a big sign on his coat tails told where to buy your clothes. IMITATION FAKIR Another funny sight often seen here is the brother of Isadora Duncan, the dancer, who belongs to a cult she founded which advocated loose dressing. He parades around here in what looks like a cotton bathrobe. His bare legs and unkempt locks hardly win more than a casual extra glance from the shop girls. The town is nearly shock-proof as far as eccentricities of dress are concerned. A HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION Window washing is one of the most dangerous of all the jobs of modern existence. It is superlatively healthy, like a drink of milk fresh from a cow, but again like the milk, good only to the last drop. There is a higher percentage of fatalities among wondow cleaners than in any other common calling, and yet Big game animals in the National Forests now number more than a million head. A gain of approximately 5 per cent in 12 months is shown by the annual wild game "census" of the U.S. Forest Service. The total big game population of 1,973,111 is an approximation of the number in the 151 national forests as of the first of this year, the figures belong based partly on actual count, partly on estimates by experienced local forest officers. Gain Chiefly Deer This year's increase is chiefly in deer but elk also have gained considerably. Moose, mountain sheep, mountain goats, and antelopes, none of which is very numerous, show slight gains. Bear are keeping up the struggle for existence in fair numbers, although the great grizzly gave ground in many of the forests and black and brown bears suffered in some localities. California Bears Decrease Black and brown bears are still found over wide areas from coast to coast, over 50,000 of them living in the national forests. Virginia, California and Utah forests show decreases in bears. Small gains are reported from North Carolina, New Hampshire, West Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona and Alaska national forests. The latest estimates showed deer present in every one of the 151 national forests. Deer increased last year from 802,450 to 877,780 under State and Federal protection and hunting regulation in the national forests. Despite the many thousands of deer bagged by the hunters, most of the western forests showed gains. California now has 259,300 deer in its nineteen national forests; Arizona over 91,000, with a gain of 6,000; Colorado 36,380, with a gain of 3,000. Due to Better Protection Big game hunters, naturalists and the nature-loving public may thank better protection, systematic control of predatory animals, and better range conditions for the preservation and improved status of game, according to the Forest Service. Most of the increases have occurred on areas where only the remnants of larger herds were left a few years ago. Increases in wild life thus far secured have not resulted in a material curtailment of domestic livestock on national forest ranges. Through improved management the range is made more productive for both classes of animals. mitted he knew nothing about the work. He was shown how to make one swipe with the chamois do, in place of the scrubbing the average housewife gives the glass, and taught other tricks of the trade and then sent out alone on the job. Right away he began to turn in signed tickets showing he was working a third faster than their best man had done up to then. An inspection blvd Made Life Mack Washington himself has left a record in his dairies of Houlon's stay at Mount Vernon for the purpose of modeling this bust from close observation and measurement of Washington's features and figure. He also made a life-mask of Washington for correction of the bust. Both mask and bust served as models for the statute of Washington by Houlon ordered by the State of Virginia and later erected in Richmond. The original bust was presented by Houlon to Washington and has been seen by every visitor to Mount Vernon. One especially interesting circumstance accounts for the life which Houlon imparted to Washington's head. "Fussed UP" by Horse Trader During the artist's visit at Mount Vernon, Washington had occasion to decline with some indignation a shady window washing is one of the most dangerous of all the jobs of modern existence. It is superlatively healthy, like a drink of milk fresh from a cow, but again like the milk, good only to the last drop. There is a higher percentage of fatalities among wondow cleaners than in any other common calling, and yet there are always plenty of applicants for the job. Climbing around on narrow window sills a thousand feet above Broadway does not phaze men who have built up to it by working on three and six-story levels. A SLICKER As the window cleaners work on percentage it is to their advantage to work as fast as possible. Recently one of the companies took on a new man who admitted he knew nothing about the work. He was shown how to make one swipe with the chamois do, in place of the scrubbing the average housewife gives the glass, and taught other tricks of the trade and then sent out alone on the job. Right away he began to turn in signed tickets showing he was working a third faster than their best man had done up to then. An inspection of his completed work showed his windows were beautifully cleaned and everybody was satisfied. Finally there came a kick. "Please don't send that big man around here to clean our windows," the letter read. "He gives us all heart disease climbing on the sills twenty stories up without using the safety belt, and it makes us too nervous to watch him." And so the secret was learned. He refused to wear the belt because it slowed him up. Come to find out, he used to be a sailor on a deep sea whaler and height and insecure footing meant nothing to him. He was fired. CHAMOIS KINGS Ten thousand a year is a comfortable income, even in New York, although one can't go very far on that. Still it's a lot of money to make out of washing windows. There are probably a dozen men here who make that much and more by supplying men to wield the chamois for you. The business is on a substantial basis and its workers have their own union and everything. Eleven states each have more than 10,000 A. T. & T. stockholders and 19 states have more than 5,000 stockholders. There are stockholders in every state of the Union and in the District of Columbia. Maybe the Democrats are talking so loudly and rapidly about the tariff in order to keep the minds of some of their leaders off the liquor question. This is a liberal country. Everybody willing for other people to pay high taxes and wages. New Lassen Park Opens to Public Dedication Ceremonies of Region of Dying Volcanos Begin July 24 THREE PEAKS SLUMBERING Much Scenic Wealth in This New National Park (Correspondence to The Gazette) Sacramento, Calif.—Lassen Volcanic National Park is the name of a new Federal reservation which this summer is to become one of the noted pleasure retreats for the motoring American people. It is to be dedicated with elaborate ceremonies which begin on July 24 and continue through three days, under the sponsorship of the California Chamber of Commerce. Vast Scenic Resources The dedication marks the completion of the scenic loop highway through the park and the opening to the public of the vast scenic, scientific and recreational resources of this great park area. The park is in Northeastern California, a short distance from Red Bluff and Redding. Lassen peak, from which Uncle Sam's newest park takes its name, is a dying volcano. For a period of 200 years at least it took its deep slumber, but in the Spring of 1914 it started a series of comparatively small eruptions, which reached their greatest violence in 1915. Since then it has been relatively quiet, although many hot springs and other minor phenomena are proof of its internal heat, and from time to time, at decreasing intervals, the volcano emits quantities of steam and smoke.

For a period of 200 years at least it took its deep slumber, but in the Spring of 1914 it started a series of comparatively small eruptions, which reached their greatest violence in 1915. Since then it has been relatively quiet, although many hot springs and other minor phenomena are proof of its internal heat, and from time to time, at decreasing intervals, the volcano emits quantities of steam and smoke. Other Old Volcanoes Visitors who this Summer go to the new park may see a geological chapter in Lassen's history that is just being concluded—also marked by the Cinder Cone eruptions of 80 years ago, the Chaos Crags eruptions of 150 years ago, and the violent Lassen peak eruptions of 200 years ago, with the milder ones of 1914 and 1915. The new park has many unique features. In addition to Lassen Peak, which rises 10,451 feet in altitude, and Cinder Cone, 6,913 feet, other interesting volcanic cones are Prospect Peak, 8,342 feet, and Harkness Peak, 8,039 feet. Then there are smaller peaks and fantastic laval fields, both ancient and modern, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud volcanoes, as well as boiling lakes and other interesting phenomena of a volcanic region. Beautiful Cinder Cone Cinder Cone, with its fantastic lava beds and multi-colored volcanic ejecta, is unusually beautiful. It is bare of vegetation and leaves the impression of having been formed so recently that the heat of creation should still be present. Evidence has been found, both historical and scientific, to indicate that some of the flows seen here did occur as late as 1850-51. There may be future explosions, but Lassen's history as a dying volcano does not lead one to expect any great outbreaks. Today it can be classed between semi-active and active. Finest Fishing Waters Followers of Izaank Walton will find ready response to their trout lure in the many lakes and streams of Lassen Volcanic National Park, which contains some of the finest fishing waters of California. Dotted by more than a hundred lakes and many streams, the park offers a variety of sport for the manipulators of the rod-fishing with fly, angling with bait or trolling from a boat. Thirty-one of the lakes have been heavily stocked with trout and last year alone 589,000 trout fry were planted in these lakes and in the streams. Lakes and Streams Some of the leading lakes where the large size of the trout bring limit catches in weight before pumber are Juniper, Snag, Butte and Grassy. The leading streams are Kings, Warner, Hat, Grassy, and Mill creeks, in which game fighting trout of all sizes abound. Cincinnati. They never fight. HONOR FOR FAMOUS DRINK Rothenburg, the most medieval of all German cities which has remained quite unchanged since the Thirty Years' War is celebrating this Summer the 300th anniversary of its Burgomaster's mighty draft of wine which saved the city from destruction by imperial troops in 1631. The tale relates how Count Tilly commanding the imperial forces, brushed the walls and entered the Fortress city and prepared to destroy it. Moved however, by the prayers of the citizens, the Count agreed to spare the city if one of the councillors could empty a huge hamper of wine at one draft. To the recorded surprise of Count Tilly, Burgomaster Nush promptly drained the flagon without drawing breath. The encircling walls old towers and ancient houses stand today as a monument to the mighty threat of the Burgomaster. Since then, moreover, there has always been at least one citizen available with a big enough throat to play the Burgomaster's part in the annual pageant which will be given again throughout the Summer.
