SERVING THE COMMUNITY
"WHY MARY WILLIS WAS ABSENT" is the subtitle of this picture. Mary is absent from school because she is sick with typhoid. Her friend, Louise, falls asleep in school and dreams that she is in a courtroom. The principal is the judge and the jury are the school children. The prisoner is brovight in and turns out to be a common housefly, accused of causing Mary's sickness. Witnesses testify that they saw the fly on a heap of refuse, after which he flew in a bucket of milk, some of which was delivered at Mary's house. The fly is asked what he has to say for himself. He declares that he is the victim of early environment. Some remarkable micro-photographic enlargements are shown, illustrating the life cycle of the fly. After this the children, under the principal's supervision, make a sanitary survey of the neighborhood. They finally succeed in having all the breeding places for flies removed. A valuable lesson, interestingly presented.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
"WHEN EMILE LOST HIS TEMPER" is the supplementary title of this picture. The scene opens in a schoolroom. The teacher has been delayed. George takes advantage of the opportunity and starts throwing chalk. He hits Emile, who retaliates by throwing an eraser. George ducks and the missile breaks the window. The principal calls a meeting of the Committee, composed of members of the Student Body. Emile agrees to pay for the broken window. George is asked about the chalk throwing episode and tries to excuse himself. The counsel decides that he should be deprived of some privilege — in this case the use of the school tennis court. George is also told to make a written report regarding his conduct. He writes a letter admitting that he was at fault. Later he talks to Emile, offering to pay half the cost of the window. Hearing of this, the principal permits George to use the tennis court again. An interesting moral lesson.
