Marjorie G. — "The trap-door spider makes a hole in the ground and lines it with silk. It has a hinged lid which fills the opening of the hole. There are two little holes in the edge of the lid farthest from the hinge.
"When the spider enters its nest it runs over the door and, catching the claws of its hind leg into these holes, it pulls the door shut after it."
Two themes are given below in full to illustrate further the stimulating effect of the screen. Hazel, aged 11, 6th grade, is deeply impressed by the mental nourishment derived; while Maurice, aged 11, 5th grade, is meved to pictorial utterance as well as verbal. Maurice's interesting spelling of "noise" is an unconscious mark of loyalty to his home and school in Evanston, where Noyes street and the Noyes School are easily dominant in his mind over all other noises.
THEME No. 1. By Hazel.
The Soo Canal is situated between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, in the St. Marys River. It is named after the city Sault Ste. Marie. The St. Marys River has a great many rapids. So the people that lived around there built this very large canal. Since they built this canal there has been a great deal of transportation going on there. If something happened to the locks of the Soo Canal, it would stop all transportation between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
This film was most interesting to me because I have never known much about the Soo Canal. And just from that one film my head was filled. If the Soo Canal was not there the northwestern part of the Western States would not be half as important as it is now. It is one of the most important places in the United States. And I think the Soo Canal is going to grow even more.
