POPULAR cINEMAToeRAPH.

From the tropical jungle to the
Arctic circle, from California to the
southern cotton fields, from naval
combat to military warfare, the edu-
cational value of the higher class ci-
nematograph production is as meal
culable as is the degrading effect of
the vulgar shows. But fortunately
for the future of the moving picture,
statistics prove that among the most
popular have been the productions
of "The Fall of Troy" Macbeth"
Tasso's "Jerusalem,'' SRob Roy"
Dickens christmas Carol" etc.
One of the most daring of all cine
photographic exploits was achieved
by the photographer who placed his
machine on the verge of a flaming
crater and gave to the world the
Eruption of Mount Etna," more

BODY AS WELL AS BRAIN
Aim Of Modern Educators Now 10 to
Promote the Health Of
the Child.

1t is no longer sufficient that school
shall not interfere with the health Of
the child; it must positively promote
1t, asserts DR.. Woods Hutchinson. The
schoolroom should be tolerated in so
far as 1t makes for health, and not one
whit farther. Growth is the chief
and only important business of the
child; and the duty of education is to
assist that growth. Whatsoever is
more than this in 1t, cometh of evil.
The school ought to be, and must be
made, the wholesomest and health
lest place in the world for the child.
The old education concerned itself
solely with the mind of the child, and
the only part of his body that 1t took
into account at all was the brain-bulb
at the upper end of him The new edu-
cation considers the whole child, and
proposes to develop all his powers
bodily, mental and moral. A healthy,
happy, well-taught childhood for ev-
cry child born into the community is
its aim-nothing more, nothing less!
No country which is contented with
less can call itself civilized. The
child is our best crop; the one for
which, in fact, all others are raised;
and no money, no time, no energy, in
telligently spent upon its cultivation.

THE wildebeest is the JekiT and
Hyde OF the animal kingdom. His
usual and familiar habit is that Of a
heavy, sluggish animal. like our VEN

forward in single file, his horns swing
ing. each foot planted deliberately.
In short he is the personification Of
dignity. solid respectability, gravity Of
demeanor. But then all Of a sudden,
at any small interruption, he becomes
the giddiest Of created beings. Up
goes his head and tail; he buck jumps,
cavorts, gambols, kicks up his heels,
