n POTION pictures will be used prob
wi ably in some OF the public
schools Of the District next year
to supplement the study courses. 1t
has long been the desire OF the school,
authorities to add motion picture ap-
paratus to the teaching equipment, but
II has not been until recently that
hopes for installing such machines
have been given q substantial founda-
ton.
To install such apparatus and keep 1t
up is expensive. and the school chiefs
feel that it. would be useless to try to
get congressional appropriation for
the work. The teaching STATS Of some
OF the buildings took the matter in
hand. however. and with the aid Of the
patrons of the schools in quite a num-
Der OF instances have raised enough
money for the purchase OF the desired
equipment When the schools are
opened in the fall the motion picture

soon as practicable will be put into the
