PARENT TEACHERS
URGED TO BACK
SCHOOL MOVIES
Normal Head Wants Film Pro-
jestOr in Every School to
Remedy 'MOvie Menace"

Clean. wholesome picture shows in
schoolhouses on Friday and Saturday
nights as a substitute for commercial
movies, many of which exert dang
erous influence on the morals OF cnll-
dren who tramp by the millions TO tne
theatres, is the remedy outlined Dy
DR.. L. N. Hines, president OF the lnul-
ana State Normal Schools of Terre
Harte and Muncie, in urging Parent
Teacher Associations to undertake
the work of putting motion picture
machines into the schools.
1.-THE parent who is Indifferent to
the character of the movies seen by
his children is inviting trouble Tor
them in after-life," says DR.. Hines IN
a statement made to the Society Tor
Visual Education. "The present gen.
Grafton of sturdy fathers and mothers
was not reared on movie-plots com
nounded of craftiness and lust. II 1t
ie desired that a boy shall get the no
+ion that he ought to live without
working, let him go to movie lot les
sons in blowing safes. If 1t is deslreu
that a girl shall be indolent anu
dream of splendid idleness, then let
her ape the manners of some OF the
movies heroines. What the future
brings our boys and girls will be de-
+ermined by the care we take OF them.
nv the examples we set before them'
One of the most effective ways IN
which the Parent-Teacher Assocla-
tiOns can render service is to turnlsh
a substitute for the movie theater, ac-
cording to DR.. Hines.
'sThis can be done through putting
moving picture machines and clean
films in the schoolhouses," he asserts.
''Nost parents are willing to let their
children go to moving picture show
at least once a week if they can feel
what they see there will be above
question. This class of parents would
feel especially secure if the school
authorities of every town could take
ND this problem, secure equipment
and bring to the schoOlhOuse each
week a program of the right kind OF
pictures. There are many opportunl-
ties here not only for furnishing
clean picture amusement, but also tor
furnishing worthwhile educational
matter for the consideration of our
young p6Op40'
In discussing the crying need of an
active campaign against the movie
menace" DR.. Hines quotes DR.. John
Roach Stratton, of New York, one OF
many public men who view the pres
ent situation with concern, as say
ing:
Because those who mainly con-
troll the motion pictures today have
found that an appeal to the salaclous
and the sensuous increases their div
idends, they are dragging all the peo-
pie, including the youth of the nation,
through a sordid, sensuous stream OF
moral infamy. The dollar mark IS
over it all"
No better way, DR.. Hines declares
could be devised for demonstrations
of approved films than by bringing
such pictures before the children in
the right surroundings, that is, in the
schoolhouse itself. Every school ought
to be equipped with its own protector
as a means of giving motion picture
shows under it's direct supervision and
control. He sees a great field here for
high-grade effort on the part of Par
ent-Teacher Associations throughout
the country.

In a recent communication to The

What is the soul?" Being q min

years a student of the Bible and re-
ligious matters / will endeavor to
answer that question.
Primarily the human soul or
spirit consists OF the will and the
understanding, the continents of the
affections and thoughts, and which
are located in the brains of the
head. the cerebrum and cerebellum-

Standardizing the Months.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald;
1t seems to me IT would be better
II months. like daEs and weeks,

There is so much difference in the
length of months now that people
who work by the month receive
more pay per day for their services
in the month Of February than in
any other month in the year: they
get more pay per day for their serv-
ices in September. April, June and
November than in January March,
May. July, August, october and De-
cember.
Instead of seven months in a year
being 81 days long, four 90 days

have each and every month in the
3e5-day year exactly 30 days and 10

Raps War Profiteers.
To the Editor. The Washington Rersld:

10 the EDITOR, Inc washington herald:
Sir: You print in your Saturday
edition letter signed An Ex-Serv-
ice Man" criticizing Carl L. Daniels
for advocating soldier bonus.
I believe that with but scant ex-
ception every member Of the A. E.
r. will say Amen" to the idealisms
that "Ex-Servtce Man" breaches.
They are sentiments inherent in the
true soidier-the soldier who VOL
unteered and fought for his country
and not professionally.
But ideals must be tempered with
Justice, and when this iux is Great
ed the wanton act of the United
States Senate in killing the adjust
ed compensation act must be con-
sldered as a fragrant breach Of
trust.
The soldier didn't volunteer for
gain but neither did he join the
army and expose his body to the
enemy fire in order that the Ameri-
can profiteers should gain either.
When the country drafted soldiers
the real spirit of the draft wasn't
to send men to the front to expose
their bodies to fire either that prof
iteers should capitalize such ex-
posture. This was done, Thoughts
hr. "Ex-Service Man" must admit.
Senator Kenyon has pointed out
