INSTRUCTIVE MOVIES.
Movies Recommended as Means o
Teaching Good Citizenship
Educational Films Shown

Teaching Good Citizenship
Educational Films Shown.
In new bulletin the teaching of
citizenship through the medium of
the movies is suggested by Miss
Emily Kncubuhl, director of political
education tor the Minnesota League
of Women Voters. According to her
plan good citizenship may be en-
couraged through the showing of films
in which community service is featured
in various forms.
Two leaflets on "Citizenship
Through the Movies" prepared by the
municipal reference library of New
York city are to be obtained from Miss
Clara Baldwin, head of the Minnesota
Library commission. These leaflets
list the names of films and the places
they may be obtained and the price
with sketch of the scenario.
Movies have been made which are
instructive in matters of citizenship.
child welfare, education, fire pro-
lection, gardening, health milk sup
ply, municipal government, police,
public utilities, recreation roads and
pavement. Other subjects in the
list are: American citizenship, con-
servation, employment, fuel, food and
markets, municipal publicity. parks
and recreation, public works and
sanitation.
Miss Kneubuhl asks that leaders
of local leagues cooperate with mo-
ton picture theatcr managers in
getting special films shown.
1t is gratifying to learn that an at
tempt is being made to place before
the public some films Of educational
value. Our local theater, the Strand,
has for some time been displaying the
Ford Educational Weekly films. The
Strand has signed a years subscrip-
ton to these films produced by the
Ford Motor company and they will be
displayed on Friday and Saturday of
each week.

Greater Precaution Necessary.

Greater Precaution Necessary.
The lack Of strict quarantine and CO.
operation partially explains the IN
creasing number Of smallpox cases.
In many cases no precautions have
been taken. In some cases, especially
very mild ones, the children were al
lowed to go to school with LESSONS
present. It does not seem possible
that any person would purposely ex-
pose others. Perhaps your child has
had a very mild case and you do not
realize that all cases are not the same.
A lack Of precaution may cost the
life Of your neighbours child.
Minnesota State Health Laws and
Regulations Of July 16, 1917, has the
following:
