he rest to be paid in six monthly install- ients. Since the first week in January a pro- -am has been given every Saturday light. This program usually consists of live-reel feature, a one-reel educational ilm, and a two-reel comedy. Occasion- lly the University Extension service for isual education sends a reel or more on ome problem of local interest. The ad- aission charges are 25c and 15c. Very ew outside shows ever come to town, nd when they do their charges are such s to make them almost prohibitive. Mr. iock aims to give a better show for less aoney. He will not tolerate sensational- sm, sex or gun play scenes. People everywhere are beginning to ealize the importance of the movies as , factor in visual education. Mr. Mock idieves that the school movie has a great uture before it. Although it is rather early to check ip results of the introduction of moving â–ºictures into the McGregor Consolidated jchool, still the following are becoming nore and more apparent: It gives the people of the community ome place worth while to go. It brings crowds to the schoolhouse vho would otherwise never step into the milding. In other words, it establishes i link between the community and the chool. Farmers have been interested and lelped by such pertinent films as "Mod- :rn Farm Conveniences," "The Milky Nay," etc. It establishes the school as a social :enter. It furnishes a small monthly fund vhich will be used by the school for bet- er pictures, music, athletics, etc. For ifter the machine is paid for, the door â– eceipts will go into the school treasury. McGregor is to be congratulated on laving Mr. Mock, and he on having the r oresight, energy and initiative to get this perfectly logical plan in operation. Small :owns and villages throughout the coun- :ry should be doing the same thing at :he present moment. Only the constitu- :ional inertia that resides in human nature prevents thousands of other towns from doing the same thing within a week. Among the Magazines 261 WORLD'S WORK for September gives eight pages to a detailed account of the great undertaking at Yale, the production of about 100 reels of motion pictures on the History of America. The article is entitled "American History in Moving Pictures," is written by Hawthorne Daniel, and is elaborately illustrated with stills from the actual films already made. We would urge every one of our readers to peruse this article carefully, for the Yale enter- prise is pretty likely to mark an epoch in our slow progress toward realization of the high possibilities of the serious screen. We have space here merely to reprint the schedule of pictures planned, the steady production of which has actually begun. I. THE MORNING OF AMERICA Nine Plays in Twenty-two Reels Reels 1.
