IihioYiesn in Education

Prof. GiacomO BOni. noted Italian
archeolOgist, has suggested to the
government the use of moving pic
lures to promote the study OF history
in the schools and among all classes
OF the people
He declared that moving pictures
were better than books or lectures,
and recalled that after the Roman
peace the Emperor Augustus, wishing
to induce the people to return to the
land, called upon the poets to sing OF
agriculture, and Virgil wrote the
''Georgics-"
Moving pictures. according to Pro
lessor Boni. must be employed in a
similar manner to educate the people
TO a knowledge and appreciation Of
Italian history.
