THE PART PICTURES MUST PLAY
IN THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILD
SCHOOL DA YS
CspTrUht. Mil. hv
TO ONE isstttatioB aat exMptinz the ptibtie sensors' is
pUying a cntter int is noldinr tke character af
the next generation than the moving pictures. The aver-
age child nowaday! begias seeing motion pictures long
before he eaten the school room and keeps an seeing them
all throngh the impressionable age. Tae movies ate one of
our greatest educational institutions and as aach shooM
receive the attention of the public nut as do onr schools.
The movies are here to stay and 99 percent of oar
children are going to see them. This might as well be
accepted as a fact and reformers von Id do well to devote
their energies toward seeiag that the right kind of pic-
tures are shows and not waste any time lamenting a con-
dition which is here
The motion picture iadnstry is promoted to make
money. Many producers probably give little thosght to
the effect pictures will have on children. That is a little
out of their line as they naturally cater to the money'
'pending public and the public ap to tms tune has shows
more interest in films that merely entertain than is those
-of an educational nature. Hence in seeking a means of
nutting before the children the kind of films that will
really benefit them it will be necessary to look elsewhere
ban to the big producers.
In some cities free movies are maintained for children
and at these are shown films calculated to turn the minds
of the young is the right direction This movement is a
big step toward solving the problem bat it is not enoagh.
It must be realised that children learn more from the
movies than they do frosa books or from teachers. The
advent of the cinema graph into the pobik schools and Sun-
day schools is probably the next move that will be made.
There is no good reason why children should sot be
taught the things they saooU know through the medium
of the screen. Not only win impressions thas created be
more lasting than those gained throngh books bat the
school movie will be an attraction to the children and
jrith their interest centered on the subject the battle of
teaching is mare than half won.
Once the child's interest is attracted to movies which
uplift their desire for the dime novel variety win dimin-
ish. A little wholesome comedy interspersed with edu-
cational firms would probably help to bring about the de
sired results it is an experiment worth trying; anyway.
If it is right to confiscate the antomebik that brings
boo re into the United States from Mexico it eaght also to
be right to confiscate the car that rase dews ana lalis a
child.
More Silver Is Needed.
As long as we have men who win pay $20000 for the
North Pale in the middle of winter so form of govern-
ment will he entirely fool proof.
Forty-three were killed in an expieeies in a German
amEtmitJon factory. What is Germany doing with as

THE silver shortage is so pronounced that it has become
1 alarming. Nothing is more urgent .than the imme-
diate production of silver is the; .United States The
scarcity of this metal is even threatening oar silver cion-
age. Already the melting down of oar subsidiary coins
has begun and reports have bees made from supposedly
authentic sources that Urge shipments of silver bricks
made from melted coins are being made to the silver
standard countries of the orient where the silver famine
is even greater than it is here.
The value of silver at this writing is $1.33 1-3 an ounce j
A silver dollar contains 4123 grains of silver. There are.
480 grains of silver is as onace. Consequently the silver
in a dollar is worth slightly more than $1.14 1-2. The zov-'
ersmest is taking steps to prevent the melting of silver
down into bailies. Bat the increased production of sil-
ver will do more to prevent what the government fears
than anything else.
There are many causes- lor the shortage of silver in
the first place much of it was destroyed during the war.
Secondly many nations doe to a shortage of gold produc-
tion save withdrawn this more valuable metal from err
eolation and substituted silver thus increasing the demand
for it Newly organised governments of Europe 'are want-
ing stiver for coinage. China and India are absorbing
large lmoasts of silver and when it goes into these coun-
tries it usually stays. Most countries have placed as em-
bargo os silver exports.
Is addition to those causes the buying power uf silver
is decidedly less than it nsed to be making the amount
required greater.
Increased silver production will mean ranch to 1 Paso
and the south west. Up in the Lordsburg New Mexico dis-
trict it is believed silver ore is to be found in highly pay
ing quantities. The annual production of silver according
to a recent report only WOfiOOflOQ ounces while 250000-
000 ounces are demanded. If the southwest would get busy r
and supply its qoeta of this demand it would mean dollars
in our pockets. It also would save a trying situation for'
the treaoary department.
CensHering how much mosey Juarez gets out of El
Paso the Mexican city could afford to sell os sugar when
we seed it if we are willing fo pay a good price for it
r If at first you don't succeed try ar-in. If after two
or three times yoc don't sseteed try seme thing else.
Good roads show that good people live is the state that
has them. New Mexico has lots of good reads.
