BY ROGER w. BABSON

BABSON PARK, MASS, Sept.
20.-As another school year opens,
Il want to again 60 on record that
the present public school system
is largely obsolete and inefficient.
School superintendent and some
teachers see the handwriting on
the wall; but those who really con-
troll the situation appear blind to
what is going on.
Some years ago, few farseelng
educational leaders were con-
WINGED that moving pictures had
great possibilities in connection
with the public schools. They
thereupon urged certain concerns
to make "educationap' films.
These concerns have done a good
lob and these films are being Used
today successfully in many schools
and colleges. They, however, teach
only history, science and certain
other factual subjects, without de-
veloping the character Of the child.
BY character" mean his pur-
poses, habits, and desires. As ev'
cry modern psychologist knows
character is the big thing fol
which the public schools should
aim. Yet, we turn this very tech
nical task over to plumbers, store
keepers and politicians to solve
Top-notch educational experts tel
me that the answer lies with prop
erly directed emotional visual ed
ucation.

to work and have been taught to

which any man can have. Natur-

addition. But here is what troubles
me:-One of my grandchildren is
girl IL years old. She has little
interest in her school work except
the games which she is taught to
play. Yet, at home she is glued,
most of the time, to the radio
Like most other kids, is crazy te
20 to the movies. She knows the
names of all the leading movie ano
broadcasting actors. She especially
likes the movie and radio dramas.
Upon checking with neighborhood
parents, find that their children
measure up about the same.
Some old maids reading this col.
umn will say that young children
should not be allowed to 60 to the
movies or listen to these radio
bedtime" features. Others blame
the inefficiency Of the public
schools on the home and pass the
buck back to the parents. What is
the answer? Should the children be
forbidden to listen to these radio
dramas and attend the run Of
movies or shall the public school
adopt more visual emotional edo
cation while still retaining disci'
pine?
Frankly, our present education
