1024 Code CADU Children of Poland Post The people of Poland are a hard-working, frugal and hardy race. Their
women are the finest looking members of the Slav family. The children are given little opportunity for education, but are very bright in spite of this handicap and are eager for education. The children know both work and play, but have little of the latter and must do much work first. The girls thresh and spin flax, make clothes and tend geese, of which each family has a flock. The older boys till the soil — the younger tend cattle.
Many views of peasants in their houses and of children at work and play are given. The film deals mostly with rural life.

1026 Code CADER Children of Bohemia Post The assurance in the sub-titles that Bohemia produces some of the finest
children of Europe is confirmed by the beautiful pictures of them.
We are shown that Bohemia is not at all the sort of a country that has been exploited in musical comedy and humorous anecdotes. The inhabitants are sturdy, hard-working, sober and religious people. From this picture one might believe that the wheelbarrow is the most popular national vehicle.

Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, Serbia and Turkey. It has been the maelstrom of Europe in every age. The scenery is varied, picturesque and stupendous. The costumes and customs of the country are quaint and interesting. Daily gatherings in the market places are featured, and there are a number of typical street and country scenes of great beauty.

1028 Code CADOR Holland Post This is the most interesting country of Western Europe. Much of it
being below sea level requires dykes to protect the fertile soil within. While most of the inhabitants of Holland dress in modern costumes and are of the conventional type of thrifty and progressive Europeans, we are shown a number of views of those picturesque little communities of Marken, Edam and Volendam, in which the costumes of these localities are shown and it is easy to understand why artists and tourists are particularly drawn to these points. Canals traverse the country in all directions and there are some beautiful views showing them with their traffic and the raising and lowering of the quaint and picturesque drawbridges which occur at frequent intervals. The queer wooden shoes are featured in an interesting manner.
