February. 1920 MOVING PICTURE AGE 31 Trade Announcements Offerings of the Motion Picture Producers, Exchanges, Projector, Stereopticon and Equipment Makers, Lantern Slide Manufacturers and Supply Houses. Vol III FEBRUARY, 1920 No. 2 Moving Pictures in Education {Continued from page 19) The Vicar of Wakefield. The students first read these books or plays, then we throw them on the screen for them. It creates a greater interest in the reading when they know they are to see the pictures afterward, and having once read the works and then seen the pictures they never forget it. The time is fast approaching when text-books will be filmed and we shall be able to teach practically all of the subjects now taught by the moving picture route. I believe that the educators of the country can do the joung people of this generation, as well as the people of the older generations, no greater service than to demand more educational films, and films generally of a higher type. I believe that the moving pictures have a great part to play in education, and educational methods and systems of the future, and that within the next generation at least 75 per cent of all the education of the public schools will be by the moving picture route. Let the promoter demand a higher grade, cleaner picture, and it will come ; let the educators demand more text-books in film and they will get them. The day cannot come too soon when we shall educate by the shorter and surer route. Then there will be no need of truant officers to drive the children to school; there will be no need of compulsory education laws ; no oupils will be imnecessarily absent, for a moving picture will attract when everything else, apparently, has failed. Then the pupils will learn with the least effort, and learn better than today. They will learn in fifteen minutes looking at one single reel more than they could learn in twice as long a time by reading about the same thing, and they will learn it better. Not only will it be better learned but it will be learned once and for all, for lessons learned from the screen are not so easily forgotten as those from the printed page. ^ i Power's Cameragraph [E Machik Quality I The Machine of ^ au. that experience Skilled Workmen and Finest Materials ,% Can put into a F^ojector foLAS Power Comfany 90 Gold Street Incorporated New Yor.k Edward Earl, President MA^alFACT^JKERs of Moving Picture Machines TN competitive test by the ■■■ Board of Education, Newark, New Jersey, fifteen of the nineteen professional projectors purchased were Power^s Cameragraphs This test was of a most exacting nature and again demonstrated the superiority of the Power's Cameragraph where the highest type of professional projection is desired.
