MINING. TAUGHT IN M l VIE
 FILMS

1 UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Moving pictures as a supple ment to classroom and laboratory in- struction have at last won acceptance at the University of Washington. Ten reels on four different subjects have been obtained from the United States Bureau of Mines and will be shown in a playhouse near the cam pus by the college of mines in few days, to illustrate safe and economic ojerations in the mining and smeltng of iron ores and the use of explosives in quarring.
 While the movies" have been ob- tained primarily for the use of stu dents of mining, they will be of gen eral interest. and the, public will be admitted to the show.
 Should the expeirement with the films prove successful for educational purposes, the college of mines will ar range to present a full series of pie lures showing the various phases of mining copper, gold coal, lead zinc and iron; the conversion of iron ore into pig iron and steel; the manufac- ture of steel products; and the quar- rying of marble and granite.
 The movement to enlist the moving picture machines in the work of in- strcting prospective miners was fos- tered by the government and the stu dents themselves. The government proposed to loan films to the various student societies about the country. and the mining society at the univer- sity took the lead in putting the pro posal into effect. The cooperation of the campus station of the federal bu- reau of mines played an important part in the working out of the plan at Washington
 The safety f~st" oropagaHd1 is considerably stre0gthc"~d by tho 0''0s, acccrGng to 0embe"7 c' tNe lines faculty. for tho pIctures show "Nfe and eTectual methods of mining actually in use.
