giene and cleanlinessY
The experience Of neatly fifty year,
as human being; five years Of which
was spent as a school teacher; twenty
five years as a practicing dentist ant
an equal length of time as the head Of
a family of four children, has brought
store of first hand knowledge tina

GRANT A. GREEN,

August 18th, 1920.
cannot remember just the exac
date that l saw my first moving pic
ture show, but as was small boy
In one OF the lower grades Of one OF
the ward schools of small Michigan
city, 1t must have been about the year
1880. According to Movie History
this would make 1t some eighteen OF
twenty years before the first credited
public moving picture show which took
place In Philadelphia In 1893
1t was announced In all the school
rooms on a nice spring day, that at 8
o'clock that night there would be given
a free educational exhibition and lee
ture under the auspices of the City
School Board. All little tots like my
self must be accompanied by their par
ents or some older person. / suppose
that was because small children were
noisy those days just as they are now.
The auditorium was crowded fulr of
people, and when the lights Were turn
cd out l nestled up close to my father.
On, No! This was not because | was
scared, but just because l wanted. To
be sure that he was there.
Several wonderful experiments were
demonstrated and pictures OF Astron.
omy, Geography, History and several
other very interesting subjects were
shown Then they showed some pic
lures OF moving objects on the screen
and there was chorus OF Abs and Obs
all over the hall.
There was picture of a blade Of
grass freshly picked from the school
lawn, that showed the sap running
up and down the veins of the plant. A
maple leaf was placed in the machine
and you could see the sap flowing all
through 1t. The speaker made some
very interesting and instructive re-
marks about the wonders of nature.
One funny thing happened during this
part OF the entertainment A live
frog was placed In such position be-
fore the powerful lenses, that through
the filmy part Of the frogs foot You
could see the blood corpuscles floating
along the arteries and veins Just like
little boats In canal We were told
that these little boats were loaded
with material to build up the body Of
the frog just as the little corpuscles
build up our bodies.
Then a pinch Of sand enlarged and
reflected on the wall became spark
ling heap OF brilliant gems, just like
diamonds and rubies and sapphires.
