Educational Value Of Photography.


Few pursuits afford so valuable q
mental training as photography. II
teaches method and system, accuracy.
cleanliness, and order. The use of the
camera cultivates the powers of OBJ
servation, the appreciation of the
beautiful, alertness and judgment. The
way in which optics, chemistry, and
mechanics are applied in combination
for the production OF pictures, stimu'
lates an interest In physical science.
n the truest sense, photography Is
an educator. a leader OUT OF such
mental qualities and aptitudes as those
who follow it possess. In all this, we
have said nothing Of the value of the
photographs that are obtained; they
may be regarded, In this aspect OF the
case, as by-product, but by-product
that can hardly have no value at all,
and may often be as important as. or
even more so than, the other adyan'
tages conferred by tie hobby. If par
ents realized what an admirable men
tai and manual training photography
could be made, we believe 1t would
soon become almost universal.

They laid the dead body on a bed, the wounded side next to the wall, threw some cover over her, and then crawled into a bed in the next room and went fast asleep. The father of the boy who did the shooting returned home, and at first simply thought the little girl was asleep. He later became convinced something was wrong. and sent for the sheriff, who. when he arrived. questioned the children for two hours before they confessed that the 9-year-old boy had shot the girl by accident The Cobbs boy and his sister apparently went to sleep right after lay ing the body of their playmate on the bed
