Moving Pictures Will Be Used In
All the Schools Soon
John Collier Tells How Wonder
full Results May BE Achieved i'm
Making Study Real for Pupils.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-"Mov-
ing pictures will be used generally
In the schoolroom within two
years." says John Collier. secre-
tary of the board of college pro-
fessors and authors, which is
known as the national board OF
censorship for the moving picture
companies.
They will be a part of the
school system, like books, and they
will be used also to afford evening
entertainment for the parents and
thus interest them in school work
Il cannot think of any study in
grade schools or colleges that can
not be taught by moving pictures.
Almost any arithmetic problem
for instance, can be thrown on a
screen in some form or another.
Botany may be taught by beau
tiful pictures, now that Ncolored
photography has been applied to
moving pictures. l have seen a
colored moving picture which
showed the planting of seed and
the growth and development of a
plant, its leaves and it's beautiful
flowers, all within the space of 10
minutes. Teaching botany in this
way is almost an improvement on
going into the fields.
Biology and many Sother
sciences may be taught by the pic
lures. One of the latest feats of
the moving picture experts has
been to photograph the moving
wings of an insect-200 motions

run slowly so that the children
may see just exactly how an in

"In natural history the children
may witness sights that they new

taken with great care and pa
thence, of mother birds feeding
their young; of wild animals in
their haunts, moving about as in
real life, eating, sleeping, living
according to their natures.
Vivid interest can be given to
history. The teacher can make it
seem absolutely real by throwing
on the screen representations , of
great historical events.
Sunday school, before long,
will be using moving pictures to
tell biblical stories to their pupils
"a thousand times more effective
and impressive than the charts
now in use. fs
In literature, scenes from the
works of great authors might be
thrown on the screen. In time,
as the system gains foothold, the
moving picture of the author him
self might be shown, long after
his death, thus making himself
and his work living reality in the
minds of the pupils.
1.-THE beauties of teaching geog-
raphy by moving pictures are OBJ
vious. The children can be taken
on real tours of the world.
''The public library or a special
school library will probably have
charge of the films. Each city
will have constantly growing
library of moving pictures-a cir
culating library-through which
the pictures will be distributed. to

to speak his little piece his feet
grew icy cold, and he just got up
and read the thing. 1t sounded like
a fizZle in the senate, where the
august ones just laughed, got up
and went out. But the common
people got wind of the speech and
sent for copies and he had to have
a few million printed to satisfy the
demand. 1t was all about "restor-
ing the rights of the people to the
people" and of course it fell flat IN
the senate.
Once started on the right track,
Jonathan climbed right into the
insurgent band wagon. But when
he got in the other fellows didn't
shout loud enough to suit him. So
he climbed right out again, grab
bed a baton, stuck on a fancy hat,
and now he leads the whole pro-
cession-president of the National
Progressive league. He is Sc years
old today.

The tooth ached.
Intensely.
1t was a back tooth known as a
molar and was fastened to the
bone of the mans jaw with three
prongs or roots as they are called.
1t had been planted there 40-odd
years ago and was something of a
fixture. Therefore the man shrank
from having it pulled. He felt that
parting would be such sweet sor-
row.
But he was desperate.
Finally he saw a sign "Teeth
Extracted Without Pain" He
plucked up hope. The Without
Pain" looked good to him. He

the molar with a grewsome steel
instrument, clutched it like wise.
And he yanked.
