880 Ink Kducational Screen \'ow what of the last year of the twenty? Again the great public—th| thinks so fast individually but so slowly in mass—is reaching a conclusion. I is a conclusion which should have been reached long before, but it is still valj able at this late date—so valuable, in fact, that it is probably the last conclJ sion needed to provoke action to bring the motion picture into harmony wil the rest of the machinery of civilization. This conclusion is —? Simply that the wrong men are in control of tH pictures, and that the pictures are far too important a force in the world t< be left in such hands. There is a distinct tendency to cease raging against the pictures theta selves—the innocent offspring of defective parents—and to take some though regarding the selection of parents. To change the figure a bit, one does nl judge a silver trumpet by its results in the hands of a small boy, nor the qualit] of a grand piano under the touch of a prize-fighter. More and more of th< public are grasping this elementary truth. Sooner or later there are goiJ to be wholesome changes in the high places of moviedom. We are still hoping that' Will Hays will be able to hasten some of these changes when he can fel the tide of public opinion sufficiently high behind him. New Names in Our Personnel TWO significant additions have just been made to the Editorial Advisoa Board of this magazine. The first is Mr. Dudley Grant Hays, Assistant Superintendent anc head of Visual Instruction in the Chicago Schools. Mr. Hays has been orij of the foremost national figures in the visual movement from the very begin- ning. He is President of the National Academy of Visual Instruction anc Vice-President for Illinois of the Visual Instruction Association of Americj The second is Mr. H. B. Wilson, Superintendent of Schools in BerkeleJ California. His position among the leaders in the visual movement has be J established beyond question by the splendid development of visual instruction throughout the Berkeley school system. The Educational Screen counts itself extremely fortunate to be able I enlist the cooperation of these men. The addition of their names marks s first step in the gradual and limited expansion of our personnel to incluJ specialists in the realm of secondary and elementary education—the realm in which visual education will unquestionably achieve its maximum values an| results. We shall take pleasure in announcing later other additions to oui personnel from the field in which Mr. Hays and Mr. Wilson are such con- spicuous figures. ; ,
