THE ONLY

THE PUBLIC
Motion Pictures Are
Now Recognized AS
Aids in Public
IS, School Work.

Throughout the country steps are
now being taken to secure the tn
PRODUCTION of the motion picture in
ing in the general educational work
and to make certain studies that
have heretofore had little element Of
interest more attractive to the pu-
pills. In Washington something has
already been done with regard to
the use of pictures. In some OF the
private schools pictures CT foreign
countries and cities have been
shown rs an aid to the study of
geography, and there have been sew
eral plans proposed for their use IN
the public schools. There has also
been some suggestion that the
Board Of Education take the sub
ject up and formulate a definite pro-
gram Some of the teachers have
individually, and independently OF
the regular program or studies. util-
ized the interest OF the children IN
motion pictures to secure number
of well-written compositions. In
one or two instances the exhibitors
or films In this city have co-operated
with the teachers to the extent OF
showing pictures that would aid in
the study of certain. subjects.
In California and Wisconsin OFF,
cial recognition has been made OF
the film in educational work. 1t
has been found that the greatest
usefulness of the film is in ampli-
Tying courses already prescribed.
rather than in the elimination OF
any reguhr program courses and
the substitution OF the pictures for
the accepted methods. The two in
stances that have been cited DO not,
Of course, include the use of pictures
in the development of agricultural
work or in the good roads move
ment. These are particular or spe-
cialized studies. 1t is in general edu-
cation that Wisconsin and Califor-
MA are experimenting.
The California State commissioner
Of secondary schools has recon-
mended to the state board of educa-
ton the approval of a supplemental
system of instruction through the
use of motion picture films. The
State commissioners plan Is to eX-
change the films throughout the pub
lie schools of California. and to show
the films to pupils from the fifth to
the eighth grades. He recommends
an appropriation by the legislature,
either to the extension division of
the university or the county library
system, either of which would act
as the exchange center.
At the beginning he would visualize
about 100 subjects, on films of from
.iC0 to 800 feet in length. Animal and
marine life. geographical, physical
and historical subjects would be
treated principally according to the
state commissioners plan.
y In the case of the University of
Wisconsin. which has made the be-
ginning with similar work. about
$50 public schools in that State have
been properly equipped to show films
and are now receiving them regular
ly. The results appear to be entire
ly satisfactory.

STRIKE AT BULLION
IN THE SWEEPSTAKES.

WE hardly yet have had time to

The fact of greatest significance Is

This added TO the high grade OF the
ore assures the future of the camp.
Bullion is an old mining camp. But
the development thus far has been
mostly in surface workings. Cutting
the vein at a depth of 40 feet in
the Sweepstakes opens up an immense
area OF stopping ground overhead.
The Sweepstakes property covers
seventy-fivc acres. OF course the
strike in the tunnel docs not neces.
sarily prove up the entire property.
But II is known hat there are many
cross lodges in the lime-porphyry for,

The main values at Bullion are In
copper. That metal is now worth
twenty cents and while the war con,
tinues II will 20 even higher. Eight
per cent copper is 4 very rich ore.
Many copper mines run only one and
two per cent.
The veins at Bullion also carry some
gold and silver. The value Of these
metals in the Sweepstakes is about
ten dollars n ION.
This of itself would be a pay mine
