Lynch Measure to Keep Childr, Away From
Motion Pictures Hats on lie Vote in Com
mittee---M May Come Up Again:

An ordinance designed to prohibit
children under fourteen years of age
from attending moving picture thea
tres unless accompanied by parents or
guardians, was discussed to a stand
still before the Council Committee on
Ordinance, Charter and Reform last
night, remaining at midnight just
where 1t began. the committee voting
to on motion TO recommend Its
adoption. Mr.. Lynch, patron OF the
ordinance, briefly stated it's advant-
ages. lie had been told by the late
Bishop of Richmond and by the clergy
of all denominations, he said. that the
custom of visiting theatres unattend-
ed was a growing menace TO the NOR
ais of the young people OF the city.
He explained that he did not mean to
reflect on the better class of moving
picture houses in themselves. though
some might be more or less objection
able, especially for immature minds.
but his chief objection was to bringing
children on the streets ut night UNI
attended, and 10 more or less democrat
izing influences which surround such
performances, although the exhibition
might not be Objectionable in Itself.
Defended by Lyons.
Several ministers spoke at length
in favor OF the ordinance. but the ef =
feet of their remarks was to some cx-
tent lost when Manager Ed. Lyons, of
the Colonial Theatre, asked them il
they had themselves attended the ex-
hibitions they 80 roundly condemned.
or whether their opinions were merely
based on hcarsay.
Mr.. Lyons explained that all of the
reputable motion picture houses here
and elsewhere secure their films only
after they have been passed on by a
board OF censors in New York. and
that catering only to the better class
of trade. no reputable house would ex-
hibit Objectionable films. even II they
could be secured.
Answering one of the ministers wdo
had alluded TO the much discussed Beu-
lah Binford films. Mr.. Lyons stated
positively that no motion picture films
had ever been made of the much talke d
of woman in the Battle case. a rather
oboNtous theatrical man, not connected
with any OF the we'll recognized theat-
rical agencies. had taken certain pos ed
photographs OF her both here and in
Now York, he said. but no motion pic
ture films had ever been made. and none
had even been submitted TO the board

FREE BOOK PLAN
HAS MANY FRIENDS
But Ordinance Committee Sends
It On for Others to
Consider.

After prolonged debate last night,
the ordinance providing for free text
books for public school children was
referred to n subcommittee, consisting
OF Messrs. Pollock. Gunst and Brown,
after a majority OF members OF the
committee had expressed themselves
IN favor OF the principle involved. Mr.
Fuller. patron of tho ordinance. pre-
scented large amount of data gath
cred from many cities, showing the
cost of textbooks when provided By
the city to vary all the way from so
cents to 81 per capita. or twenty five
cities of which he had made special
inquiry. in eight the cost was from 20
to 80 cents; in eight. from 10 to so
cents: in three, from 60 to 10 cents,
and in only four more than 500 per
capita.
superintendent J. A. c. Chandler. of
the city public schools, said that while
the School Board had taken no action,
Ii was divided on the question. For
himself, IL properly administered. he
favored the city providing the books,
He explained many as a half dozen
methods In vogue in different cities.
some cities renting the books to pu-
pills; some selling them to pupils at
cost; some providing both books and
supplies absolutely free, and still
olHeTs requiring uepOslt, winch Is
refunded when the books are returned
in good order.
AS to the cost DR.. Chandler said,
II all present books were discarded. a
complete new set for the entire school
population would cost $4,000 whole
sale. or $4,000 at the list price. IF
pupils could be induced to turn in
their present books in return for
those OF the next grade on promotion,
the initial cost would be much less,
and the annual cost after once In
stalled. not more than $4,000 to &c.,
600. while all complaint as to chang
ing textbooks would be eliminated
The subcommittee was instructed to
perfect the ordinance so as to provide
that the School Board might make
rules and regulations for the issuance
nnd reinsurance of books. and also to
inquire into the state laws governing
the list prices of books as fixed by
agreement between the State Board
of Education and the various pub
fishers, and whether In the event that
tho city was purchasing wholesale the
entire number of books needed for the
Richmond schools. 1t would be limited
by State law to the regulation book
list, or might invite competitive bids
i through the School Board for the sup
plies needed.
