Motion Pictures to
Supplement Books
In City's Schools
Animated Lessons Perfect
ed to Teach Geography,
Economics, Other Sciences
and the Domestic Arts

Playing hockey from school to see
how Tom Mix and Doug Fairbanks are
getting along on the screen will be
both unpopular and unnecessary this
term. Motion pictures will be brought
70 the classroom even If not for pur-
poses of amusement. They will be
used to supplement textbooks in SUBJ
jects7 too complicated to be easily COM
pretended,
The animated lesson as revealed for
the first time yesterday by the Motion
Picture Text Book Corporation in it's
projection room, at 22O West Forty
second Street, treated with geography,
beginning with a view Of the earth
as 1T would look to the man in the
moon il he had telescope to peer
through. Revolution and rotation were
illustrated by globes whirling on their
axes. Why seasons came. to be and
what makes the summer hot and the
night dark were only a few of the
mysteries unfolded.
Passing from physical geography, the
living text book will teach economic
phases Of development in the United
States, groups of states and individual
cities. The influence of climate on
industry will be especially emphasized.
The finished film represents the re-
suit of five years of school teaching
and experimenting, according to Miss
M. Maude Ryan, who, with her sister,
Miss Alice M. Ryan, perfected 1t. The
Board Of Education in New York City
has approved of the invention, and it
will make its debut this fall, to be
followed by motion picture lessons in
biology, geology, chemistry and the
other sciences, as well as a course in
the domestic arts. Western schools
also have subscribed.
A press Of button will flash the
picture on the screen, so that even a
school girl may operate the protector,
Miss Ryan said. Any part of the pic,
ture may be repeated until the lesson
Is clear. Instructive questions and
answers accompany the motion picture
instead Of the regulation "subtitles."

Man Got Afire
Putting EN- Out
Hanks Powder Saved

Eden w. Hanks has IAN eye for
news"-of q certain variety, anyway
and this which he found in the
Newport Or. ~ Journal of June 9th
interested him. He had sold the ter
ritory Of that state 70 an agency for
the Hanks fire extinguishers and this
relates what happened to one of
the demonstrators in the village Of
JamestOwn:
Tuesday afternoon on the Carr
plot on Narragansett avenue, the
Hanks fire extinguisher gave a DEM
onstration, under the auspices of the
fire department. First a packing
case, saturated with gasoline was in
stantly put out with a little handful
of powder. Then a large box. built
by Mr.. Knowles, president Of the
town council, was saturated with
gasoline and kerosene and allowed to
burn until the flames had reached a
height of 20 feet, when it was extin-
guished with u handful of powder.
The next fire was in an open tar bar
rel. saturated with gasoline, and was
easily eXtinguished. Fourth, a car
bide fire in a packing case, was
touched off. Water and other chem
icals failed to make any impression
on this. as carbide is perhaps the
hardest fire to fight, but handful Of
powder put 1t completely out.

Belfast
Missing Boy Heard From

Mrs. r. II. D. Carter formerly
Mrs. Maurice Curtis,) has received
a post card dated in Texas, the first
intimation that her II year old son
is alive, that she has received since
lie mystcrlcusly disap scared from
Portland on January 18th. Lawrence
was employed by Dudley and Weed
druggists out of school hours, and
was sent to the bank with a deposit
and to draw money for the payroll.
He dropped out Of sight and although
detectives were placed on the case
at once not the slightest trace of him
has been found until this post card,
with his hand writing, which his
mother recognized. Just what hap
pened has been a mystery, but it has
been thought right along that he had
met with foul play for he was only
a boy, and had never been away
from home and had the reputation
of being perfectly honest and de-
pendable. 1t did not seem possible
that a boy of his age could cover
his tracks, nor that he would re-
main away so long without getting
homes!ck and communicating with
his mother or sisters. They have
felt that he must be dead. His
mother lives in Portland and he has
sisters living in Belfast, Searsport,
Melrose and in the middlewest, none
of whom heard word from him.
Lawrence was born in Belfast and
lived here until about or 10 years
old. nice little chap and those who
knew him believe that he was en-
ticed away with the money he drew
from the bank and that he did not
wilfully steal it. If this was so he
probably did not dare to go home
and was either shanghaied or hid
himself
