His distinguished father took an active part in the first phase of French Revou- tion. Immediately following the fall of the Baste La Fayette was appointed commander chief of the National Guard in Paris effected whatever military organization there throughout France.
 His moderation however cost him his influence with the people whose radicalism increasing to- ward redness. Ultimately he joined the Gronde and doubtless he would have suffered fate that befe the leading Grondists except for escape to Liege
 Previous to his flight he sent his son. then thir- teen years of age to America the care of General Washington. Of his career little nothing is known though in "The Sword of Liberty" on his return from America he is made to dig up from the garden of the Paris residence of La Fayette where they had one by the American congress and the other by the French republic, in recognition of his services in the two revolutions.

THE PICTURE VS. THE BOOK

Then there are numerous organi- cations and clubs which use edu- cational movies as a regular thing. Among these are the '. NJ. c. A. and r. w. c. A, the American Fedora ton of Women's clubs, and societies devoted to nature study, animal lore, welfare work, health, civics, drama, history and travel. The use of nov ing pictures among such societies is growing at such a rapid rate that the F manufacturers now producing standard portable projectors are planning to turn them out during the coming year at the rate of 1900 to 1,500 a week in order to keep up with the extraordinary demand.
 The educational film has also be- come an indispensable feature of the large manufacturing plant, which uses it not only to advertise it's goods but for educational work among it's employees. Safety first films have done more than any other one thing, it is said, to cut down the number of industrial accidents, while they have also been instrumental in smoothing out differences existing between em-
 ployers and employees. It is esti- mated that there are 5000 manufac-
 turers in this country who provide
 
 every day at noon. One large mining corporation has built nine moving picture theaters for the benefit of it's workers. one of which cost S400,000. Besides these permanent sources of demand, there is an ever growing clamor for non- theatrical films for use in private homes. Nobody real izes how many portable projecting machines are in use in private | homes," says one producer of educa- tional features. There are 2S,000 of these in use in the United States, and probably f5,000 more which are idle because it is impossible to supply pictures for them. For these we are asked to make up program with comedy suitable for children, a tra- velogue, an educational film, and perhaps pictures of the habits of wild animals, or Americanization propa- ganda.
 "One of the very important uses ot
 non-theatrical picture is putting Americanization. into homes in a lan- Guage that even an illiterate immi- grant can understand.

Rx Frederic J. Haskin

NEW YORK, Nov. 10-Teach it by moving pictures instead of by books!
 This suggestion, long championed by such ardent educators as H. G. Wells. is now meeting with wide spread approval in this country. Aft CT many years of patient obscurity, the educational film is distinctly coming into its own. Not only is it greatly in demand by public schools, universities and churches, but the general public is showing an unexpected enthusiasm for it. Pro- ducers of educational features are finding it difficult to supply all the orders they receive for home projec- tion machines, while New York nov ing pictures theaters have recently discovered, somewhat to their own amazement that an exceptional ami nal or travel picture, properly fea- tured. attracts as many patrons as an all-star theatrical film.
 The fact is that large numbers of people who would be bored by most travel books and who would be in capable of concentrating on scien- tific article, are quite eager to ab- sorb information. through the com fortable medium of the screen. The reading of books, with the exception of light, popular fiction. requires un- QerSIanulIlS ana lI1dSlldllOu OH tue part of the reader, while looking at a 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 Amer ican better informed. They are bring ing to the great mass of people who cannot afford to travel, glimpses of foreign lands, interesting personan- ties and curious facts. In other words, they are disseminating useful knowledge in painless, effective fashion
 The extent to which educational films are used is now so vast that a combination of non-theatrical pro- ducers was recently formed to estab- fish exchanges throughout the United States for the distribution of pictures of a purely educational character. This combination plans to enlarge the field for their products, but in the meantime it is kept busy sup plying the field which already ex- ists.
 Movies in Church and Home
 According to one of these produc- CTS. there are 44,000 churches in this country which regularly use motion pictures, of which the Roman Catho- lie churches number 17,000 and the Methodist 10,700. Departments of visual education have been estab- Ished in most of our universities. while projection machines are owned by nearly 60 per cent of our elemen- tarv schools.
