’ THOMAS EDISON I —— ; Says He Would Educate the s School Children by Mo- £ tion Picture Machine. ’ ALREADY CONSULTED i — ; By School Educators—Can 5 Teach Them Mathemat- £ ics to Morality. II Four neighbors of Thomas A. Edl- * son called upon him at Lis laboratory ’ the other night and discussed with : him the possibilities of the useofmovi ing pictures in education, for three of » the callers were members of the local «j school board. One of them, William ' Ingills, tells of the visit in Harper’s ; Weekly. Edison recently returned |1 from Europe from his first vacation ! of many years, and was bubbling over : with the pleasure of being back I home. When he came down to greet • I bis neighbors he swung his right hand * in a. gesture that was half salute, half preparation for the fashionable handshake of a few years ago, and bowed stiffly from the waist. • ‘ Hullo, Edison,” said one: “You got that style from bowing before crownI ed heads, eh?” “No, got it from seeing them bow 1 to me," the wizard chuckled, with an impish twinkle in his eye. “Guess they’ve spoiled my style a little but I I’ll soon thaw out and act natural.” From Mathematics to Morality. - “I hear yon have a new' idea I about education. What is it?" the , school board president inquired. “I have.” said Edison, “Education |by moving pictures. Teach the chil- , dren everything, from mathematics I to morality, by little dramas acted out ; before the camera and reproduced in j the school room at very low cost, i Sort o’ swing the education in on i them so attractively that they’ll want jto go to school. You’ll have to lick ■ ’em to keep ’em away.” ; Every one sat up with a snap. Into every mind flashed fleeting glimpses i of the possibilities of the scheme the inventor outlined. Edison saw this and chuckled. “Take the alphabet,” he said. “You »- remember how hard it was to learn

your letters? Why? Because it was < dray and uninteresting. Lord, howdry? But now' see w'hat we’ll do: Suppose, instead of the dull, solemn letters on a board or card, you have a : little play going on that the littlest youngster can understand —oh, as small as that,” and the wizard’s hand shot down to his knee. “The play begins with a couple of ! lively little fellows who carry in a i big letter T. They put it down and it l stand there. Then they carry in an , H. Then a little cuss comes in, hop--1 ping and skipping and turning somersaults, and —both hands w'ere whirling in the <ir, now—as he takes his place next to the H, you see he is the letter I. Next to his they put down , an S. There you have the letters of the w'ord This. In the same way they - bring in the letters, or the letters , run in or dodge into place until the ! sentence stands there. “This is a I man.’ Then a hand appears pointing ; |, and up marches a man for it to point j i at. Os course, the teacher gives the children the name of each word as ■ they go along. You can see liow eag-1 I erly the youngsters will watch every movement on the picture-screen, for i i there will be something going on there every moment. Nothing like ' action —drama —a play that fascinates I the eye—to keep the attention keyed up. I don’t think it’ll take them long to learn the alphabet that’s lively and ! full of characters." “Will you teach history with the moving pictures?" asked Dr. Roeder. “History? Yes —ancient, modern, American, English—everything. We 1 sent a company of people up to Con-1 cord and had them fight the battle of, Lexington before the camera, with all the costumes and action correctly done, right on the old battlefield.” “Did you get a phonograph record of the shot that was heard around the world?” asked the president, who always will have his little joke. “No, but, By George! we could if we wanted it,” said Edison. “We’ve t got the synchronizing reduced toi such a system now that we can play j a whole scene in moving pictures and have a phonograph speak the lines bet hind the screen so perfectly that you’ll think the actors in the picture are talking. But we’re running the } educational series on pictures only. ' We’ve printed five thousand sets of, the battle of Concord already. Got a I Paul Revere’s ride, too; and we’re. I doing the landing of Columbus —, j ' ships, costumes, Spaniards, Indians — everything, just as it’s represented in the historical painting.”

i “To put this within the reach of every school in the country,” Edison remarked, “we’ve had to work down the moving picture machine to the size that we "an sell for about fifty dollars. Then we’ve brought down ■ the film, which is ordinarily one thou--1 sand feet long, to about seventy-seven I feet long. Look at those figures on the film, each 156-1000 of an inch in height. Prettysmall, aren’t they? You | see the drama runs down one side of the strip, comes back up the midI die and then finishes by running back again along the opposite side. So we really get 231 feet of picture or seventy-seven feet of film. Well rent a set of pictures to a school for i $8 a week.” MICHIGAN FARMS FOR SALE.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE HORSE. ■ A colt’ unbroken is worth little more than noiuing; improperly brokI en, it is worth still less. It is harder I to break a horse that has been tampered with by unskilled hands than i one never touched by the hand: of man. Often it is impossible to rid an individual of faults thrust upon i it, when a youngster, by an educator who has not had the necessary experience. Many times horses have thus j been spoiled for life. P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly ex perienced and equipped for this uni dertaking. Horses placed in his charge can be placed there with the , (fullest .confidence that they will re-! eeive the careful and skillful atten tion, made possible by years of experience. Now is the time to have colts broken. Don’t wait till warm! weather, as you can now get them: handled with more attention. Masterson is also a developer of I speed, and has met with splendid j success in this line. In fact, this fs ; his main business, of which the break-, ing and educating of colts is a very im-, portant branch. Experience has taught Masterson that horses trained ■ for speed should be started early in I the year. When a horse goes a "good' .corking mile” every muscle and fibre| !in its make-up is put te the most | tense exertion. For this much power |of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a good supply of systematic jogging is unavoidably necessary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pasture because they were put to the test of their speed and endurance be-' fore thay had sufficient preparation. The horse should be built up in the winter in ordei to develop speed in

the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaigining is the prospect well wintered. Masterson is well equipped for such wintering. Training barn at Steele's park. Address P. C. Masterson, Decatur,. Ind. T&M-tf LIVES THAI AI’.Z WORTH LIVING. One of Adams county’s farmers, whose wife has been sick with stomach, kidney and liver trouble for two years, after using, one bottle of 4'j General Tonic, says that that she has gained more under the one bottle oi 49 than, any other treatment she has taken, and Tuesday the 7th, bought six bottles of 49 at the Holthouse drug etore. L. J. Bumgarner, railroad agent at Cheshire, Ohio, writes the Leah Medicine company, under date of November 4th: “I cannot express my appreciation of your kindness in sending me your 49 General Tonic. My wile has taken it since Match aud our doctor would not believe that she could Improve as she has. She has gained seventeen pounds and is feeling fine, but is hungry all the time. Life is worth living with 49 in the house. 49 has become a by-word to us. We use it for everything—colds, coughs, pains —anything that ails us. We run for 49 Tonic. Mr. Vickers wants three bottles, and I am sending you $5.00 so please send me six bottles by express.” The above is a copy ot Mr. Bumgarner’s letter. His wife has been sick for five years, and 49 Tonic made her a well woman in six months which her doctor failed to do in five years. All druggists handle 49 Tonic. 264t6 —. o--’ FOR SALE —Fine mahogany upright piano; will sell at a big discount; fully guaranteed. Address P. E.
