IHoNhtaa corporation, mas over KICKED
on the amount Il was assessed for
SCHOOLS IN Albuquerque.
The reason for his r. that for o
sond many years wc have had a
school board that was wight mp on
is toes, 20 to speak. ready 20 90 after
tho very latest thlns 20 s!ve the boys
and kris OF Albuquerque the best
there WAS n the way OF education.
Also. this board OF education cm-
ploycd instructors who were the right
type TO fulfni It's ideas and some OF
them. notably PROT John Milne. have
devoted a considerable portion of
their time 60 devlsing now ways and
means 70 Improve schools. There
are others. out Mr.. Milne has been
on the lob Abe longest and has the
most prominent position an n booster.
This board 81 education. aided and
abeltcd BY AR. Milne. ct ais. for an
the Albuquerque school people arc the
r%et-there type of booster for better
schools. has given us a new high
school building that Is a credit to shc
town. a manua tralling system for
the boys and domestic science training
for the girls. athletic and gymnasium
work for boys and girls. respectively;
a high school auditorium that Is a
social center for the community In a
very high sense, . school savings
bank system. and n whole lot Of 9TH
er new dew-dads and th,nsumhobs
that are right up to z In the educa-
.tionsi scale. approved by all the au-
thorities and experts. For a city of
It's sze. Albuquerque certainly has
some school system.
Comes now the latest wrinkle. the
movies for education. The movies
have come to stay; there Is no ques-
tlon about that. Also. the education
al moving picture has come 60 stay
A few years ago the educational film
was a Joke. Il ISN'T now. Most com
parties devote a large portion OF their
energies to turning nut educational,
scientific and religious films. Every
week the motion picture aapors carry
a list OF new educational and science
films as long as your arm. There Is
a long list OF religious Aims also. but
We are speaking now Of educational
matters,
These Aims range in topic from the
Habits OF the Deep Sea spider 10
the Effect Of Altitude on Fish and
similar subjects. Speaking seriously.
there is not a section ~ the globe
that Is not Icing visited by the mo-
ton picture people and icing made
TO give up it, secrets 10 the nlm.
lTravol, scenery. road construction,
building railroads In 0 Jungle, now
furniture IL made. iron founding. ma
chic shops. how Uncle 5am handles
the mails In the big postofnoos. the
inside OF the railway mail car, all
these things are caught ty the aim
and carried wherever there Is a pro-
jecting machine.
As an educator the hlm rivals
travel. In fact. in one rcspec. IL out
does travel. for with IL in an % one
may see something Interesting ana
instructive from the polar regions
and something equally interesting
and instructive from the torrid zone
An Of which brings us around TO
the statement that the school board
is considering the purchase Of a mo-
tion picture machine FOR the schools.
We consider lis a good idea. Mo-
tion pictures are in use In other
schools and seem TO I've p%rodGcins
good results. They viii do the same
here. unquestionably. u The school
board sees It's way clear TO getting a
| projecting machine and joining "a film
library or subscribing TO an educa-
tional film serylce.we believe tho re-
suits attained will be veil worth
while. Il Is cver SO much easier To
understand scientific matters when
fNNNA are WI MI NhAf AN NfNANAH pr.
one can see them, than when they
IRE only described In % hook And
the beas illustrations often fail to
SLOW the processes. wh.cn are just
the things "a motion picture shows
best. II we can utilize the lure Of
the screen 20 instlI useful informo-
ton into the youngsters minds. by
all means let's use that, too. II VIII
be one more reason why motion pie
tufo education ought to be used In
Albuquerque.
Ana. anyway, let's remember we
have pretty good schools here IN Al
buquorque n the best BE- nor" too
good for them. when It IN to
education. movies or otherwise. cv-
erybody's youngster is entitled 10 the
best.
