Paul Revere's Ride, the Constitution, the opening the West, and Lincoln's Gettysburg address. 'Porky' finds a new significance in the Pledge at the picture's end. "Unusual in that it is equally acceptable to children and adults. The composition, ani- mation and photography are excellent. Recom- mended for its patriotic value from the sixth grade up."

Available only to schools "In this short subject a dyspeptic elderly critic complains that the country is going to tlie dogs. "The film then presents a number of brief scenes setting forth important events and happenings in the history of America and empliasizes the fact that no matter how well our country is being governed there have al- ways been 'dyspeptic old gents' who are always ready to criticise and berate that which has been accomplished by others. "This rapid review of American history is too fragmentary to offer significance as an historical document but illustrates admirably how illogical and futile are those who maintain an attitude of chronic complaint against social and political progress."
