A PEEK EACH WEEK
AT MOTION PICTURES

/ Labor, Movies and Some "FriendIy
Atmosphere"
HUGH FRAYNE. national organizer
IL of the A. F. of L., attended a din
ner in New York in honor Of win
Hayes, GEAR of the movies, at the
Waldorf Hotel, where, according to
the press, friendly atmosphere"
|predominated.
Our friend Hugh Frayne enjoyed the
atmosphere Tin addition TO the grub
and cigars) and did what was ex-
pected of labor leader who believes
that what is good for capital won't do
any harm to labor. He wasn't con-
cerned with questions of the character
of moving pictures. Do the movies
deal with labor-and how? Do the
lives of the workers, their hopes and
aspirations and their struggles form
flt subject for motion pictures, etc?
No such problems agitated our
friend Hugh Frayne. As the papers
reported, he was primarily concerned
with 'the employment of women of
notorious reputation" He said in
part:
with regard to scandals in the
movies, our organization is opposed to
the engagement Of notorious persons
to play in the films. speak person
ally on this matter, because have a
high regard for the real artists in the
films.
Il have raised protest against un-
desirable women exploiting their scan
dals in motion pictures and have en-
phasized this protest by asking our
people not to work where contracts
are offered for such purposes"
AS in all fields of working class en-
deavor, our labor leaders who dine
with the magnates of industry in the
friendly atmosphere" of a big hotel
Overlook the question of labor, even
if they must blossom into moral CEN
sors to do it. We don't expect any
thing for labor from movies made for
profit and pandering to the cheapest
emotions. But we do want more from
our labor leaders.
After all, there are lower stages of
morality than that of some of our
notorious movie actresses. w. c.

"THE TORRENT"


THIS picture was made from a novel
4 written by Blasco Ibanez, a Span
ish republican, who in Paris periodic
ally shakes his fist at the king Of
Spain in Madrid-which isn't bad
publicity for his business, and it's
quite safe. During the war he wrote
propaganda novels for the allies, of
which the -Four Horsemen" and later
Mare Nostrum" were best known in
this country. In his earlier days he
occasionally wrote a readable story,
but never a great novel-nor is this
one from which the picture was made.
1.-THE Torrent" begins with the loss
Of their property by a family OF
smaller means to a weather. one
thru the scheming of an avaricious old
woman. Complications set in (and
give reason for this movie) thru the
fact that the daughter of the poor
family is in love with the son Of the
weather one (or the other way
around, il you like it that way).
The loss Of the property and the old
lady's insistence separates the love
birds. But the girl has a voice
Grained by the village barber) which
she uses to seek her fortune in Paris.
Here she becomes a famous opera
star with a reputation for not too
close attention to moral scruples.
AS usual in the movies, a desire to
see her old town brings her back-to
further conquest of her old lover, now
about to be married and on the eve
of successful election to Office. De-
spite her reputation, which has
reached even the hamlet she revisits,
the old fame bursts out and our
young hero braves a raging torrent
sweeping the city thru the bursting of
dam to win back his lady. (The
much advertised torrent seems to have
been made in the studio or in nearby
creek.)
The young man, driven from the
girl he loves thru the insistence of his
mother, who also insists ON his politi-
Cal CdttcIs mdkA4cS . COnoCA NotANO WIG
who loves him and bears him many
children.
AS the novel probably says, many
years elapse." Our lovers meet years
afterward in Madrid. He member
of the chamber of deputies, old. hav-
ing spent life quite useless. She is
still the old flame, youthful, vivacious,
and seeing the dull wreck he has
made of himself, sorry that their old
love cannot be rekindled.
A convincing ending is the only
saving grace of the movie. And if
you must see this picture and are a
mere male, guard your admiration
from your wife. Greta Carlo, movie
star Of European importation, is a
capable actress and as beautiful a
creature as ever walked before a cam
era. A real Spaniard, Ricardo Cortez,
plays the leading role for all that it's
worth-which isn't much. It's that
kind Of a movie. There are better
ones. VIC.

school an unreasonable distance. This situation was one of the first problems studied and dealt with. The horse drawn vehicles were replaced by motor vehicle and as time devel- oped a transportation system evolved which was far more satisfactory than the old one. Practically every child living an unreasonable distance from a school Is brought to school at town expense by auto, bus or trolley. In the winter time bus operated for the benefit of those pu- pills in the Elm Hill district who live at the extreme southern end of the town. A careful study of attendance figures shows quite conclusively that the institution of motor vehicles has had a marked influence upon inn proving school attendance.
 Physical Examinations
 "A very important field of work which has been introduced In our school concerns the health of the pupils. Throughout the state there has been a general recognition of this essential problem and during the last six years, important legls- lation has been passed concerning the work of the school in connection with the health of the children. Six years ago, the only law on the statutes concerning the health n- spection of school children called for the biannual inspection of the pu- pills eyes. Sirce that time, the state has changed the law so that we are compelled to make an annual in spection of the pupils eyes. Since | that time the state has changed the 1 law so that we are compelled 10 make an annual inspection of the eyes, teeth, ears, throat and the nose, and the condition of weight. ! Obviously it would be waste of the | teachers time and the towns money to have this important duty Of ex- amining the child left to the class room teacher. In 1921, your com- mittee secured the part time services of a doctor who began examining and in addition started the annual plOe dll ul NdSNiilctlOil' III i"-"' 'N school nurse on part time was add ed. A very satisfactory physical record system covering annual ex- aminations of each pupil was intro duced Due very largely to the ad- vice of the doctor and the follow up visit of the nurse, the parents have shown a very decided change in their attitude toward the health work in the schools. The passage Of the physical education law in 1923 created a new interest in the teach ing of Hygiene and greater emphasis upon the recreational program of the children. Annual field days se
 cured the support and aroused the interest of the community in the program of school health. This in terest and support has been evil denced by the willingness of the community 10 support hot lunch program during the noon hour. In addition to the inspection of each child and 40 home visits, the nurse gave 3s classroom talks on health problems, treated 160 pupils at school, made 9S sanitary inspections and arranged for pupil treatments

mental music which will have an important effect upon the music training of the pupils.
 Improvement in Teachers
 70 Tn 1920, of the 13 teachers, seven received only limited training and did not hold state certificates. During the past year, out of the P teachers. with the exception of four, each instructor was Normal School or college graduate. Each teacher in town held a state certificate, many holding permanent certificates. This noticeable increase in the profess sional training of our teachers has ha a marked effect upon the inn provement of instruction. I believe that the teachers as a body have very satisfactory attitude toward their profession. Teachers meetings are organized monthly and an effort is made to visit each teacher at least and if possible twice month to help her with her problems and to improve the teaching in the class room. During this past year, with a change in my own work calling for the addition of the Towns of Pennington and Rocky Hill to my territory, I have been assisted in the

| was replaced by a modern four room school and this past year in order to accommodate the increased enrolment in the vicinity of the stone quarries at the north end of the town, a new four-room building was erected in this section. When school re-opens in September the pupils in the Junction and the north end of the town will be comfortably provided for. Conditions will be a bit crowded at the Center and at the Elm Hill school we shall be practically up to capacity During the past year, another forward look ing move was made in the purchase of a very suitable site at the center of the town where a Junior-Senior High school will be established. This i is merely a matter of time for our increased enrolment and the eXces- sive cost of educating our High school pupils at the New Britain High school and with the crowded conditions at the Center, we shall be compelled to provide extra room. With several land developments in the neighborhood of the Elm Hill school, it is only a matter of time when an addition will be necessary for this building.
 Junior H. s. Fairly Successful 1 The Junior High school work be- gun in 1923 has met with a very lair measure of success though 1t must be admitted that the present time, the work remains incomplete. In 1922. after a careful study of the
 work of the pupils in the primary grades who did very poor work we established a special room for slow and backward pupils. Newington was one of the first small towns of 1 the state that organized a special room. This work has been success 1 ful. During the past year, we have | been very much concerned with the problem of our children of foreign
 born parents at the Center. These | children come to school very imma-
 ture, most of them are a problem in ! the first grade and many of them
 have been unable to succeed during
 this first year. This heavy retarda,
 tion in the first grade is an economic loss to the town. an educational set, back for the pupil and unfortunate
 ly tends to over-crowd the primary grades at the Center. During the present year We are attempting 1T September a e-primary room 1T the Town Hall for these pupils Under the direction of Miss VII Hams, the primary supervisor, very satisfactory beginning has beer made. During the present year, we
 shall continue to make a study O. this situation in an effort to i'm
 prove the efficiency of this pre-
 primary work.

study and the average teacher possessed little knowledge of music. This condition existed until 1922 when Q music supervisor was added to the system. Since then there has been a marked improvement in the music work. The work of a music supervisor is not only to direct the singing of the children and to de- velop a logical course of study but 10 help train the teacher to be a better teacher of music. This Is her most important job and in this re- spect, considerable progress has been made. There still remains, however large room for improve ment particularly in the chorus work of the Junior High School. Here, there is a serious lack of equipment and an adequate auditori- um. In all probability. the music program will not operate to best ad- vantage until we have schools with
 auditoriums where group work and chorus and orchestra training are possible. AS an extra feature of the school work. we have secured the services of a teacher of violin who visits the schools and teaches the pupils simple beginnings in instru-
