What the Movies" May Become.

That the cinema,ograph has not attained,
perhaps not approached the limit OF its possib-
ties. 10 admitted by all who have given the matter
serious attention. Scientists arc studying the
machine, with view to extending its range the
especial quest being for the s,ereoscopic
projecting lens, that will give the pictures the
semblance OF life, rather than the motion of
shadows. This, and the synchronizaton of the
film and the phonograph, so that the pictures will
actually speak, are the two great steps forward
sought most at present.
Even with these discoveries made and per-
fected to use, there remains something else to
&c done, and it may be done while the expert
ncnts are being carried on. This has to do with
the quality of the pictures. From the first the
greatest of all arguments for the moving picture
has been its educational value. None has ever
denied this potency of the movie Many have
regretted that the purely entertainment feature
has been permitted to so overlay the educational
aspect as to obscure it almost to totality. Here
Is where correction may be made, and without
much effort No thought should be given to
destroying the moving picture as a source of en-
tertanment, for it fills too large space in the
life Of the people now. Nor should the educa-
tional element be given the appearance of para
nountcy to the point of excluding those who
seek amusement rather than enlightenment
What may be done, and with little if any dis
location OF the present machinery of production,
IL to arrange proportional relation between
the two. offering them in such combination as
Eill minglc rather than separate the two, and by
improvement in the entertainment and popu-
iarzing the purely informative, strike happy
balance that 10 certain to rebound to the benefit
OF ALL Little in the nature Of prescience is re-
quired to foretell the effect of this. Safety
would be avertcd because OF diversity, great
deal that is now Objectionable, slap-stick and
custard pie comedies and the like, could easily
make way for the better, and the movies would
readily attain plane worthy of an agency that
directly and indirectly affects more lives and in
Auenees more minds than any other, save pos
sibly the public schools, today.
Foresighted managers may look ahead to this
Il will require some courage, perhaps, to wipe
out reels that now are assets, but it will pay in
the end to do so. The moving picture should be
Z great help instead of toy, and it will be made
such if the men in control of the industry Sc
riously consult their own interests.

The earnings OF this strange corporation arc to
be used for further research.
Every successful man. and in fact every sue
eessiul wife, makes use OF psychology, though
usually by instinct rather than training Instead
OF haphaxard methods of hiring and firing em-
ployes some great companies now depend upon
the advice OF trained psychologists. This human
factor is recognized as being a, the basis OF labor
unrest and all the problems OF mana cement. One
OF the applications OF this science was illustrated
in the engaging OF the Office force OF the
Psychological corporation. Simple tests such as
the transportation OF characters and the omis-
sion OF words from sentences were given ap.
plicants instead OF the usual questions. IL can
tell more about girl in half an hour by such an
examination than could by having her work in

There is no resemblance between the tests
given thus and such questionnaires as Thomas
A. Edison uses; the scientific way is 10 gage the
mental capacity OF the subject, not his store of
information. They are similar TO the mental
tests given in the army, consisting partly OF sem
tences with missing words to be filled in, drcc-
tions to be followed quickly and correctly and
questions designed to show whether one thinks
clearly or confusedly. They also seek out spe-
cial abilities in their subjects, even along such
lines as musical talent. 'If the little girl who ran
away from home to avoid piano lessons had been
examined by this method before her parents
tried to make musician OF her, a lot OF time and
money and unhappiness would have been saved"
one OF the professors declared
There are limits, Of course, to what can be
determined by psychology, and there are some
with little scientific standing who make prepos-
ferrous claims. The advent of this new organiza-
tion composed of twenty experts represents a
splendid move Man has been quick to master
machinery, but slow indeed to understand the
workings OF his own mental and emotional ap-
paratus.

Illiterate, But Not Ignorant.

One OF the educators OF national rcpute, talk
Ing to the conference on illiteracy at Chicago
last week, said man may be iterate and yet
not ignorant. This is granted. A certain de-
gree of native shrewdness usually marks the
rnan or woman who can not read or write, but
this is not an argument in favor Of neglect of op-
portunity to acquire enough of an education to
sat least read and write. In former years when
skill in letters was left TO wcaklings, the strong
devoted themselves to such arts or occupations
dc not call for the exercise of book learning"
but do require manual dexterity and great bodily
strength. We may recall the pious ejaculation
of the great Douglas after Marmion had escaped:
Curses on his clerkly skill!
Thank God, that son of mine,
Save crippled Gawain, ne'er penned a line.
A man might rule kingdom, and not be able
to write his name, yet Charlemagne felt that he
was leaving his greatest monument to posterity
in the schools he established, and Alfred, who
welded Saxon England into one, was also the
foremost man OF letters as we'll as the greatest
warrior statesman of his time Illiteracy is not
necessarily sign OF ignorance, but in America,
and generally throughout the civilized world, it
is a proof of either Incidence or deprivation
that is almost a crime.

A Million New Church Members.

1t may be- as scofers will maintain, that this
is no proof that the world is growing better, but
practically all the major religious faiths are max
ing steady gains in membership. Each Sunday
during the last five years an average OF more
than $4,000 persons joined the various churches
in America. An average Of three congregations
have been organized daily and the average join
ing the ministry has been four and onc-half per-
sons per day.
DR.. E. o. Watson, secretary Of the Federal
Council OF Churches OF Christ in America, has
compiled religious statistics which show the
total American church membership is 45997, ,loo.
This is>a gain of 407034S since the church CEN
sus of 1916 and indicates clear gain of more
than million in the last year. The total religious
constituency of the country, which includes not
only members but adherents not formally united,
is set at 058s80o6. On this estimated basis,
Protestants number 74,7o5,226; Roman Catholics,
H,SS5646; Jews, 100000; Eastern Orthodox
