*«*♦** * * * • * * TRAINING LITTLE * * CITIZENS * * * * Motion Pictures are Silent * j * Teachers * * * By Adele F. Woodard. * **&**# # * * * * All kinds of pictures teach silently. Motion pictures teach more impressively than painted pictures. Parents must realize the fact that the movies are teaching our children either good I or evil. This is because motion I pictures possess in a marked degree, the first quality essential teaching—the element of interest. They often are accepted by children as greater* authority than home, school or church. Psychologists agree that it is - the detail which instructs, rather than the long-drawn out theme. A picture may end wholesomely and yet be unwholesome in its effect, if every detail is not pure. A x thread of good running through a story is not sufficient. The texture must be all good, if the effect is to be all good. Children live the story depicted. They,. temporarily become the viliian or hero, as the case may be, so strong is their imagination and power, to project themselves into she story. Instruction in crime educates our young people’to become criminals. The constant portrayal of evil “popularizes evil.” A child is usually ready to do what he sees everybody else doing. Constantly to inject into the mind thoughts of killing, of death, of anger, jealousy and revenge, of suffering, both mental and physical is to stifle tenderness and sympathy. To see suffering without making an effort to relieve that suffering, reacts unwholesomely upon the spectator. Vulgarity, immodesty and situations generally termed as “slapstick” have a tendency to lower the standard of taste, thus weakening the moral fibre. At first children do not understand many suggestive situations, but the constant portrayal of the same, finally enlightens them. Far more children than we are aware, understand these suggestions and questioning a child on this L subject rarely secures a fahk statement of his knowledge. Lurid posters displayed outside a motion picture theater brand the house as a menace to the community and limit the audience. Many people will not enter a theater displaying such posters. The theater is an eyesore to the very patrons whom the manager seeks to attract.

The peculiar fact is, that the posters often pre not a true representation of the picture on the screen. Many children crowd about these posters dinking in every degrading detail, even though they do not attend the performance. The best kind of censorship is selection, which builds up the things which are worth while to the final exclusion of the worthless. The establishment of carefully planned children’s matinees for little children and family programs for adolescents, furnishes a counter attraction. Pictures on the plane of the child’s thinking, are, after all, more attractive" to them and persistent effort in this method of, exhibitingwholesome films will help to re- ' store, the poise and culture which our over-stimulated children are now in danger of losing.
