Of course you cannot bring the circus into the classroom. Even if you could, the number of subjects you could teach by means of this visual aid would be very limited. But you can bring into the classroom by means of Motion Pictures almost everything known to man. No matter what the subject may be, you already have the pupil's interest and his undivided attention the moment you turn off your light and start the picture going.
A Motion Picture creates thought as no other visual aid can, and to get the best results from teaching, the child must be taught to think.
With a still picture, he too often takes a casual glance and then his thoughts wander away to something more real. By the time the next picture is shown his mind is on something entirely foreign to what you are trying to impress upon him. Not so with the Motion Picture, as you know from your own experience. The pictures being projected on the screen change the scene so rapidly that he does not dare to take his eyes off the screen for fear he will lose some part of this reproduced life in motion. It not only creates interest and holds his undivided attention at the time, but it teaches him to be observing at all times. Life, action, motion, this is what interests both pupil and teacher.
No matter how many times you may have read your Shakespeare, Stevenson, Eliot or Poe, have you not sat in a Motion Picture theatre watching closely, with the greatest interest, the reproductions on the screen in Motion Pictures of "Macbeth," "Treasure Island," "Adam Bede," or "The Raven"? It is only natural then that the Motion Picture should be brought into the classroom to teach almost every subject and that the greatest educators and the greatest educational organizations in America should endorse the Motion Picture, because with it the interest is already created.
