He now has operators in Africa with
instructions to take everything from
Cape Town to the mouth Of the Nile,
to be used in teaching geography Mr..
Edison's idea is that moving pictures
will take the place of most of the text
books below the ninth grade. he
maintains that children will learn
geography much more quickly and will
have more intelligent understanding
through moving pictures, where they
can see the actual country,the noun
tains and rivers, the wild animals,
the savage peoples at work and at
play, and the life in the cities, than
would be possible from textbooks.
I'm so far as geography is concern
ed, Mr.. Edison has argument difficult
to answer, although 1t is doubtful If 1t
would ever be wise to do away with
textbooks, but one can supplement
the other. The inventor Maintains
that moving pictures can be used with
equal effectiveness to teach history
He has already reproduced the Bat
tie of Lexington, and he insists, will

producted Washington crossing tn,
Delaware. The familiar painting o
the latter exploit, so far as accurac.
, is concerned, is about the absurdes
fiction that ever became established

THOMAS A. EoisoN's PREDICTION
ABOUT THE MOVING PICTURE

In an article in the August Woman's
Home Companion about moving pic
lures, the author commends the use OF
moving pictures by the churches. and
shows how Developments along that
line will probably come. In the course
of the article appear the following
paragraphs presenting Mr.. Thomas
A. Edison's predictions relative to
moving pictures:
"Mr. Edison, the inventor Of the mo-
tion pictures, believes that their great.

He wants to make them an integral
part Of the public school system. and

Practical Uses of ozone.

The freshening of the air of rooms
that are not readily ventilated may
now be accomplished by means of a
device known as an "ozonator." A
small moving picture theatre, 80 by
100 feet, was ventilated only by a
suction blower, and in spite of this
crowd odors" PERSISTED in the room,
An ozonator was installed above the
front entrance, and now, even on
hot evening, the air in the theatre is
sweet, cool and odorless. The same
experiment was made in factory
and in printing shop with equal sue
cess. In one store which had suffer
ed from a small fire which thoroughly
smoked the interior the ozonator re-
moved every trace of the disagreeable
smoke from the room and stock in
twelve hours. The machines have al
so been tried in hospitals, clubrooms,
shops and in private dwellings with
equal success. Ozone acts on the air
as bacteriacide and a powerful deodor-
izer. Ozone will find an application
in the sterilization and deodorization
of the air in hospitals, apartments
studios, schools, etc, wherever there
is likely to be large crowd. In
stables, chicken coops, toilets and
factories, where there are evolved
noxious emanations, ozone will great
ly ameliorate the conditions. In par
ticular, the shops for asserting rags,
those for the manufacture of fertilizers
and factories which handle gelatin
glue, hides, hair, fat, bones, horn and
other slaughter house by-products will
find in ozone powerful and success
full adjunct to any ventilating system

MAY REOPEN
MEDICAL SCHOOL
General Board of Trustees viii Con-
slider Matter at Next
Meeting.

Jackson, Miss, July 22-At its next
meeting the general board of trustees
of Mississippi's four educational in
situations will consider the advisability
of re-opening the medical school at
vicksburg, operated as a branch of
the University of Mississippi.
o. F. Lawrence, secretary Of the
board, has been in Vicksburg for sew
eral days comforting with members of
local medical fraternity on the subject.
The University supplied the two
final years of the medical course at
vicksburg, the work being carried on
in connection with the state charity
hospital at that place. Under existing
arrangements the University is unable
to supply the last last two years Of
the medical course, and it is melan
choly fact that Mississippi is unable
today to furnish complete medica
education, the college at Meridian
having. been disbanded after the pas
sage by the Legislature of the new
medical practice act.
Should the trustees decide to re
establish medical school for the tw,
final years of the work, an effort will
be made to have it located in Jackson
in connection with the new State Char
|
ity Hospital, instead of at Vicksbure
and the Board of Trade has notifie
Governor Brewer that the body desire
conference with the board befor
any definite action is taken on tn
subject.
