Mr.. Fairchild soon found out the value
OF not only plenty OF pictures, but OF
the right kind OF pictures He saw they
must be so real and distinct that the
children, when they saw them repro
duced, could easily imagine that they
were looking out OF a window. as It
were, at the actual scene, and when the
characters in the scene did not know
they were being watched.
In other words, he found it, was abso-
lutely necessary to have natural pictures
pictures with not the slightest sign Of
posing. He also realized that the pic
lures must be as clear cut as q ntho-
graph on paper money, so that not a
single lineament Of the facial expression
could be lost. The expression on the face
OF this or that boy or girl-the look that
tells what is going on back OF that face
had to come out so plainly that even a
baby in the audience might unconsciously
reach out its hands to good face. or
hug closer to its mother away from q
bad one
The Special Camera.
To get such results. the photographs
had to be taken with almost moving
picture rapidity and without the knowl-
edge OF the person photographed. Mr.
Fairchild saw that he must have spe-
eially made-to-order camera. or else give
up the work. Neither a hand camera or
a moving-picture machine would do. The
best hand camera could get one natural

Luckily. Mr.. Fairchild is q handy
man. IN addition TO a college course at
Oberlin, ne has had mechanical training.
His education was started In scientific
atmosphere in the Kansas Agricultural
College, where his father was president.
He learned a lot about carpentry and
farming and printing. And now that me-

give the child a chance.
, That such talks with schoolchildren on
character building is necessary has been
known to educators for years. One OF
the things that has worried con-
scientious teacher when in the afternoon

has failed that day to make some little

are just as important as the other three

The dihicuity has always been that the
child doesn't write the average talk on
morals behind his ears. Such instruction
must be given in a way analogous to dis
guising castor oil In soda water. There
have been special talks by men of over
