strated to teachers I'm attendance at
the annual meeting of the Wisconsin
state Teachers association i'm Milwau-
kee last week.
There is not school principal or
teacher ia Wisconsin who does not
recognize the tremendous drawing
rower of the motion picture upon
school children. Many case of tru-
ancy can be traced to the pull of the
movies" Any boy or girl would
rather follow the processes of frogs
development from the seed mass that
looks like tapioca pudding. through
all the wiggly stages to maturity by
watching the moving picture screen.
than by laboriously following out the
frogs life history in the laboratory
Many boy has run away from
history lesson at school taught from
book and paid a nickel to see history
dramatized i'm motion pictures.
School teachers are coming TO rec
cgnize that the motion picture ma
chine is like the printing press; it
may be used for presenting whole
some and instructive material or il
may be used for frothy or even in
furious display. depending entirely
upon the selection of the films. Al
most every school teacher will admit
that if the motion picture could be-
come established I'm every schoolhouse
and were made available for use as "a
supplement to the blackboard. the
textbook. and written work. It would
play large part in Transforming the
schoolhouse from place TO which
students must be sent to a place of
attractioR~and interest.
At the demonstration made at the
teachers meeting the standard mo-
ton picture machine was designed es-
pecially for school room use and put
on the market at figure so low that
even the onc-room country school can
afford TO have one. The dcmonstra-
ton was arranged by Edward j. Ware
of the Bureau. of Social Center De-
velopment in the extension division OF
the University Of wisconsin.
