a love of exactitude, and the spirit of initiative and achievement.

Let me just describe how these films of the Ministry of Agriculture are distributed in the Catalogue as between the several subjects. Vegetables account for 14 pages; these are sub -divided into: Vegetable Physiology, Cereals, Industrial Plants, Fruit Culture, Cultivation in Marshlands, Woods and Forests, Vines, etc. Animals occupy 18 pages and comprise the following subjects: Animal Physiology, Animal Pathology, Stockbreeding, diverse Mammalia, Poultry Yards, Birds, Fish and other Aquatic Animals, Game, Fishing, Useful Insects, Bee-keeping, Sericulture, Noxious Insects, Vermin, Physics, Chemistry, etc. The next section covers Agricultural Industries, to which have been added, Physical Culture and Sports and Social Hygiene, etc.; then Comfort and Recreation, the Agricultural Schools of Cibeins, Rural Crafts, Childhood on the Land, Workers' Gardens, Disabled men on Farms, Electricity in Villages and Farms, Life in a Modern Village, Water on the Farm, Water Supply, etc. etc. Thanks to the interest of the different Ministers who have followed one another during recent years at the Rue de Varenne, and to the steady and methodical work of M. Paul Drouard, Head of the Service of the Commission du Cinema Agricole, presided over by the former Minister, M. Alfred Masse, to which the writer has the honour to belong, agricultural cinematography is welcomed in the rural districts with ever growing enthusiasm. But figures will be more eloquent than words on this point. Up to the 31 st. July 1928, the Ministry of Agriculture had granted subsidies amounting to 1 million 222,000 francs, distributed between 833 projection centres. 2,900,000 metres of film were, in this way, distributed among the 953 clients registered in 1928. The whole service is steadily on the increase. 627
