at such a rapid rate that the IL man
ufacturers now producing standard
portable projectors are planning to
turn them out the coming year at the
rate of 1900 to $500 a week in order
to keep up with the extraordinary
demand
The educational film also has be-
come an indispensable feature of the
large manufacturing plant, which uses
it not only to advertise its goods, but
for educational work among it's en-
ployes. Safety first" films have done
more than any other one thing, it is
said, TO cut down the number of ir-
dustrial accidents, while they also
have been instrumental in smooth
ing out differences between employ
ers and employees. 1t is estimated
that there are 5000 manufacturers in
this country who provide motion pic
lures for their employees every day at
noon. One large mining corporation
has built nine moving picture theatres
for the benefit of its workers, one of
which cost 100000.
Besides these permanent sources of
demand, there is an ever-growing
clamor for non-theatrical films for use
in private homes. Nobody realizes

| chimes are in use in private homes

lures. There are $4,000 of these in
the United States, and probably Is,

| For these we are asked to make VI

children, travelogue, an educational
film, and perhaps pictures OF the hab
its of wild animals, or Americaniza

the non-theatrical picture is putting

grant can understand.

You can teach all sorts of scientific
facts by films which you can't witt

for instance, can put their lessons

other way. We have one picture call

is unknwn to the theatre going public
but is in great demand by the Inter
national health board for use in al
southern states.

so in every school and for a stocked
storehouse of films. The possibilities
of certain branches of teaching have
been altogether revolutionized by the
cinematograph. In nearly every
school nowadays you will find lot

to be used for demonstrating the ele-

Now that is the sort of thing which
still goes on. But it ought to be en-

The Picture VS.. The Book
by FREDERIC J. HAsklN

NEW YORK CITY, Sept 26.-Teach
it by moving pictures instead of by
books!
This suggestion, long championed
by such ardent educators as Mr. H. G.
Wells, is now meeting with wide
spread approval in this country. After
many years of patient obscurity, the
educational film is distinctly coming
into it's own. Not only is it greatly
in demand by public schools, univer-
sites and churches, but the general
public is showing an unexpected en-
thusiasm for il. Producers of edu
cational features are finding it diff
cult to supply all the orders they re.
ceive for home projection machines,
while New York moving picture the
aires have recently discovered, to
their own amazement, that an, excep-
tional animal or travel picture, prop
erly featured. attracts as many pat
rons as an all-star theatrical film.
The fact is that large number of
people would be bored by most travel
books and would be incapable of con-
centrating on a scientific article, are
quite eager to absorb information
through the medium of the screen.
The reading of books with the excep-
ton of light, popular fiction, requires
understanding on the part of the
reader, while looking at film does
not. Many unkind things have been
said against the movies, but this
| may be said in their favor They are
| making the average American better
informed. They are bringing to the
great mass of people who cannot af-
| ford to travel, glimpses of foreign
| lands, interesting personalities and
curious facts. In other words, they
are disseminating useful knowledge
in painless, effective fashion.
The extent to which the educational
| films are used now is SO vast that
combination of non theatrical pro-
ducers was recently formed to estab-
lish exchanges throughout the United
| States for the distribution of pictures
OF purely educational character.
his combination plans to enlarge the
field for their products. but in the
meantime it is kept busy supplying
the field which already exists.
Movies in Church and Home.
| According to one of these producers,
| there are $4,000 churches in this
country which regularly use motion
pictures, of which the Roman Catholic
churches number 1900. and the Meth
odist 10000. Departments of visual
education have been established in
most of our universities, while pro.
| lection machines are owned by nearly
| so per cent of our elementary schools
Then there are numerous organiZa-
lions and clubs which use educational
movies as a regular thing. Among
them are the Y. NJ c. A. and Y. w
c. A., the American Federation OF
Women's Clubs, and societies devoted
to nature study animal lore, welfare

OF BIG VALUE IN AVIATION.
The weather bureau Of the

riculfure gathered great deal
Of valuable information 4Or
army and navy aviatOrs during
the war and for mail service
aviation since that time by
means Of q kite to which was at
tached a self-recOrding instru-
ment, the meteorograph. Some
of the difficulties experienced
are shown by an incident that
occurred March Is at Leesburg.
Ga. In order to attain the
height desired, number Of kites
had been sent up tandem. They
consisted Of strong wooden
frames about Z by Z by feet.
Each kite was covered with
about II yards Of fine cambria
and was attached to fine piano
wire. They were let out and
hauled In by a reel operated by
electric motor. Due to a defect
i've splice, four Of the kites with
about 3 miles of wire broke
away and flew about Is miles
before the wire became en-
tangled in tree. A farmer
telephoned the news to the aero
logical station, but before the
party sent out to recover the
kites could reach them some
negroes had wrecked the first
one and stolen the cloth, which
was later found in nine pieces
In various cabins. The other
three kites, when the first one
was separated from them, es-
capped and flew about three miles
farther. During the flight, how
ever, the wire became entangled
with boy and a mule blowing
In field. The boy grasped the
"IC Cul DutnCu
hands. The mule became so
entangled in the wire that the
help Of three men was required
to release him. The three kites
were finally caught in another
tree which was cut down by
another party Of negroes, and,
in falling, wrecked the second
kite, which was dismantled by
the negroes. The two remaining
kites again escaped. few about
3 miles farther and landed In
one Of the tallest pine trees In
the region. The third kite had
a meteOrOgraph attached which
was recovered unchanged. A
heavy rain came on, however,
and the two remaining kites
were broken up and finally aban-
doned.
