THINKS THE MOVIES
HAVE A BIG FUTURE
Edison Predicts the Film Screen Will
Replace the Blackboard in Schools.

New York Dispatch.-The children
of today's school children will get
their education at high schools in
which the movie screen will supplant
the blackboard and the motion pic
ture film will take the place of text
books, Thomas A. Edison predicted
today at the investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission of charges
that the Famous Players-Lasky Cor
poration and six allied organizations
constitute moving picture trust
The famous inventor, whose re-
cent questionnaires have led him to
say harsh things about present edu-
cational methods in the United States
was called for the purpose of devel-
oping the Importance of the film in
dustry and its possibilities for the
future.
He disclosed for the first time
experiments with school children,
which he said had convinced him that

what they had learned from the pic

extent through pictures. The parts of

finally understood the entire picture"
what, in your opinion, is the
future growth of the motion pic

REFUSES
TO ACCEPT PAROLE.

Angelo Chicca, an Italian farm
hand, who has been paroled from
the Nevada state prison, refuses to
accept his liberty. He declares that
he is innocent of the charge of bur-
glary upon which he was convicted
in Lyon county four years ago and
that he will remain in the state
penitentiary until he is formally
acquitted in court of justice and
his good name indicated. The mat
ter was recently called to the atten-
ton of the Italian consul at San
Francisco, who has taken steps to
have the matter investigated.
Meanwhile Chicca remains at the
penitentiary, a well-behaved and vol
untary prisoner, waiting for the
courts Of Nevada to reverse them
selves before he will 60 forth into
he world as a free man. He has
refused to recognize or accept the
parole extended to him last May,
and says that his decision in the
matter is final.
. The records show that Chicca was
convicted in Lyon county in August,
1919, upon a charge Of first degree
burglary and that he entered q plea
Of guilty through his attorney. Ac-
cording to several of his fellow
countrymen when efforts were made
to obtain his pardon or parole he de-
ciined their assistance, and declared
that if he pleaded guilty it was be-
cause he was ignorant of the Eng
lish language and American court
procedure, and furthermore that he
would not accept parole or pardon
because it would still leave upon
him the stain Of guilt. He still ad-
heres to this position.
Recently the matter was brought
to the attention Of the Italian con-
sui at San Francisco, who has re,
ferred the matter to Anthony Tur-
ano, an attorney of Reno. The
matter has also been taken I'D for
investigation by Attorney General
Diskin, who says the puzzling case
will have his attention.
A few days ago Chicca recounted
his situation and defined his attitude
20 the La Voce del Popolo, an Italian
language newspaper published at
San Francisco, which published his
communication. Chicca also has
sent a similar letter to the Gazette.
Chicca speaks and understands
English very poorly. He is forty
eight years of age and was employ
ed upon a ranch at the time of his
conviction. Since his admission to
the state prison, and since his parole,
which he persistently declines, he
has steadfastly maintained his limo
cence, declaring that he will never
leave its walls until the court which
convicted him reverses itself.-Reno
Gazette.
