MAKING NATURAL HISTORY NATURAL
(Continued from page 330) for himself the development of whatever may be his particular hobby. There is in this avocation a tremendous scope for improvement through practice and experimentation. And to one who has enjoyed hunting, a visual record of wild animals in their natural haunts is a matter of great satisfaction.
In discussing the film of the Whitetail deer, Mr. Pratt said that it is a hope of the trustees of the Museum of Natural History to have a moving picture of animals in their native haunts alongside each encased group of animals in the museum. It would hardly be practicable to have these films running continuously, but the plan is to have the motion picture machine placed in a cabinet in such a manner that any visitor desirous of seeing the film can set it in motion by the simple expedient of pressing a button. In answer to the question as to whether he thought this plan could possibly be consummated in the near future, Mr. Pratt said he had no doubt but that within a very short time the Museum would be equipped with several of the machines, that definite action was now being taken, and that all concerned had absolute faith in the establishment of this very progressive step in the field of visual education.
It cannot all be done at once, as there is the question of films. They must, of course, be absolutely authentic, and this involves patience and accuracy on the part of the photographers, as well as excellent photography. Again, a wide variety of subjects will be necessary. It would seem that if and when this plan goes into effect it would open an interesting new field for those amateurs who are so situated that they can study birds and animals in their natural habitats.
Keep it in mind, you movie makers, while you are vacationing in the woods and mountains this summer: In addition to your camera, carry along a vast amount of interest and patience and see what you can do toward contributing to this far-reaching experiment which will open new vistas of understanding to the city dwellers of the United States. If the Museum of Natural History succeeds in this innovation, it will not be long before other museums will follow its example.
Such progressive education is bound to spread. Here is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor and turn your hobby to account for the benefit of the nature lover who has to get his knowledge by proxy.
