modesty he exhibits a. a member Of

CLASSES. and II Is found that pupils
take much more interest in those
subjects after seeing the pictures
In Colorado. moving pictures are
proving their usefulness IN the School
for the Deaf by teaching mining and
farming. The West Point and An
napolis academies have been making
use of motion pictures for the past
year with splendid results.
Glasses In cooking can see pictured
the whole process Of bread making.
for example, from the mixing and
kneading to the time the loayes are
taken nicely Drowned from the oven.
Glasses In botany can see unfolding
before their eyes the whole wonder
fuI process of plant growth, from the
sprouting of the seed to the harvest.
In a hundred ways moving pic
lures can be made to serve the pur-
poses of real education. and they will
undoubtedly be one Of the great edn-
eaIlonal forces of the future.
It Is true also that they may give
a false and bad education; everything
depends on the care and judgment
With which the subjects are selected.
We have during the last few weeks.

Westminster some pictures OF much
educational value such as The
