CENSOR OF MOVING PICTURES.
The national board of censorship
of moving pictures in this country
was organized in March, 1909, by
the Peoples institute at the request
Of the Exhibitors association of New
York City. 1t became national in
scope in June of the same year at the
request of the manufacturers of films,
by an arrangement through which
sample copies of films for national and
local distribution were submitted TO
the board. The board has q censor
ship committee of 20 members. divid-
ed into sections for every day Of the
week. The film output is increasing
so rapidly that on most days there
are two or three sessions of the COM
mittee passing on films.
AS soon as a decision is reached by
the general committee, the owner OF
the film is notified and a notification
is sent, through a weekly bulletin, to
correspondents of the board in about
100 cities. These correspondents rep
resent civic societies, police depart
ments and other responsible public
agents The sign which is often seen
on motion pictures, Passed by the
official and is attached to only frac-
ton OF the pictures censored, and its
use is optional with the manufacturer.
II is estimated that the daily attend
ance in the United States at moving
picture shows is 100000. 1t attracts
more people daily by many millions
than public Libraries, and is incalcul-
ably more economical. being a more
labor-saving device than any other
available form of public instruction
Motion pictures have been used but
little for strictly educational purposes.
At present the main obstacles to the
educational use Of motion pictures are
lack of information on the part of
the public and the lack Of proper dis
tributing machinery through which the
educational film can be placed at the
disposal of the educational institution.
1t is estimated that about 100000
feet of film per week pass through the
London market More than 10000
feet OF film per week are released in
the American playhouses. According
