The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1910-05-12

Moving pictures showing the OPP
erations of the government depart
ments at Washington Will soon be on
view in New York. and the films that
are being made win probably become
available for use in other cities later.
Dr. Henry Leipzieger, of the New
York board OF education, is respon-
sible for the idea as well as for its
practical application. II Is the pur-
pose of the board to entertain, on
two nights Of every week, the par
ents of the children attending the
public schools of that city, by IL
lustrated lectures on current topics.
The scheme has worked well so iar
as it has been developed. BY It's
means the fathers and mothers of the
poorer, and generally illiterate class
have been shown the workings OF the
city government-its parks, It's
schools its water supply, its sewer
system and the thousand and one
other details that enter into the ev-
cry day life OF great city.
II has been found that the informa-
ton thus absorbed by the parents mas
percolated through to the children
IL is now proposed to extend the sub
jects of the lectures to national al
fairs In a recent visit to Washihg-
ton DR.. Leipzeiger met with the heart-
lest cooperation by the treasury de-
partment He made arrangements
whereby he will be able to snow on
his moving picture screens just now
the government makes its money Ihe
copper. silver or gold bars from
which the coins of the United states
are minted will be shown in the va
rious processes through which they
must go before they are in shape Tor
circulation as money and the bureau
, of engraving and printing, which pro-
duces the paper money of the coun-
! try. will also be illustrated with all
of it's intricate machinery In opera
| tion. The revenue cutters are TO DC
| shown in motion, and the live-savnG
| service IA also to be illustrated IN

! crews to operate before the MOVING
| picture apparatus to demonstrate tn'
| work which this branch OF the ser
vice Is doing.
Scenes of everyday life on boaro
| ships of the navy and at army posl'
will also be photographed. 1t
thought that these pictures VIII no.

is being spent by the government
and for what purposes, but VIII give
them n clearer insight into nauona
affairs II Ia proposed that when th'
| nictures are exhibited some eNpef
