Dear Sir:


January Is, 1922.
Eat var this association undertook
O raise funds to keep this beautiful
old cemetery In order. Letters were
INT out and the returns were most
gratifying.
We were able to place a nice metal
fence all around the grounds. to em-
ploy a permanent caretaker who gives
all his time to 1t and TO build q small
housse for tool room and use of the
raretaker.
The improved appearance of the
Cemetery has been marvellous; and
we think We can safely say that it is
one of the best kept cemeteries of any
Of the small towns Of the State. The
Washington and Atlanta Highway
runs right by it and hundreds of cars
pass each week with tourists, many
of whom stop to look it over, and we
have had many favorable comments
on the appearance.
The Cheraw Chronicle. has given
space each week for a short sketch of
Graves in Old st. David's Cemetery
which have been of interest.
The contributions of last year are
now exhausted, and knowing that you
have relatives or friends buried there,
or are otherwise interested, we ask
that you send in a. contribution for
1922. Make It as large as you can,
sending it to w. E. DUVALL, treas
urer. The amounts given last year
ranged from sl.oO up, 70 $500. If you
can not pay now, but desire to pay

Duvall what you will send, and when.
Thanking you in advance.

URGES USE OF MOVIES
IN EDUCATIONAL WORK

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, E,u-
gene July 2l.-More general use of
the motion picture in the schools as
I means of instruction in current
event, geography, astronomy and 9TH
sr subjects, was urged by Earl Kilpat-
lick, director of the extension division,
n an address before the autience
largely made up of teachers, in the
summer session here.
Slowness of development in the
educational use of motion pictures was
attributed by the speaker to the fail
IRE of the commercial producer of the
pictures to become interested and to
/ he failure of educators to grasp the
educational opportunity.
Fields in which the film can be of
the greatest assistance in education
as outlined by Mr.. Kirkpatrick, are
the tracing of movements that are too
fast for the human eye; the checking
up and recording of movements that
are too slow, such as the growth of
plants the presentation Of things that
are too small, in which the camera
cooperates with the microscope: and
the projection of objects seen with
the X-rays, a valuable aid to the study
of such bodily processes as digestion
and circulation.
Although it is several years since
the educational uses of the notion
picture became obvious, the slowness
of its adoption, Mr.. kirkpatrick point
ed ont, is seen in the fact that there
are in oregon today only sixty mo-
ton picture machines for school use.
