What Happened Apr.

for answer
The Observer regreta that the American Legion saw fit
to insist on carrying out its carnival plans as a means of
raising money this year, but its members are to be compli
mented on their determination to make this year's venture
the last in carnival promotion! : Funds for Legion activities
are necessary and that organization has done much for
community betterment, but carnivals do a community injury
that should be eliminated in the future. Arguments against
them are obvious to everyone, and we are glad that 1930 will
Bee them discarded by local organizations.
, In the hands of private owners it. is announced that the
Leviathan, chief liner of the shipping board, will serve liquor
when outside the 12-mile limit.' Radical prohibitionists will
object but since drinking and selling intoxicants is prohibited
only within the borders of this country and the Leviathan
travels without, we see no reason why the announcement
should cause disturbance. It may be necessary to install a
floating filling station twelve miles out for east-bound trips,
but "business is business" on the high' seas as well as on
land and competitive ships are wet inside as well its out.
. "MAKE-BELIEVE" REFORM SCHOOLS
The motion picture has been characterized as a great edu
cational tirce.' It is. .But sometimes the education it con
sciously or unconsciously seeks! to. accomplish is, poorly con
ceived and comes dangerously near doing more harm than
good. ' ' '.. '
Such was the impression made by most of the film shown
at the Arcade last night when the treatment given inmates
of a reform school provided an excuse for several thousand
feet of picture. We have no quarrel with the story, which
was no worse ihan the average feature and not much belter,
but the character of the reform school pictured m a gross
insult to corrective methods employed in this country and
gives the uniformed citizen a serious misconception of
these institutions. ' , '
This is not counteracted by th rather lame apology at one
stage of the picture when the screen is allowed to say that
"although most reformatories are operated with justice and
understanding, the terrible conditions depicted here still
exist in some parts of the country," or words to that effect.
The spectator forgets that this particular reform school is
"unusual" and doesn't stop to realize that both the institu
tion and the treatment are merely a part of Hollywood
make-believe.
Although we never heard of a state where boys and girls
reform schools were located on the same tract "separated
by an iron fence," the ill treatment, beating and torture, mid
solitary confinement shown in this picture were possibly true
of some institutions a generation ago, yet they could hardly
be duplicated today in the most backward state penitentiary.
lo give picture patrons the idea that such 'condition are
duplicated in some or even a few reform schools is not only
ridiculous but damaging because it unconsciously destroys
public faith in the administration of justice.
Reform schools in many stales are models of industry,
iair treatment and helpful training. They are designed to
accomplish for wayward and untrained youth the citizen
ship building that parents or guardians have neglected. That
they are successful ia shown by the records of many schools
telling that over 90 per cent have gone out in the world
and become respectable, prosperous citizens. And it is
wble because ef the schools, not in spite of them.
Motion picture producers would argue, no doubt, that it
is necessary to overdraw a story to tfive it pmiKT emphasis,
to "get it across." But it need not be overdrawn to the cv
tent of giving totally falso impressions nor to the extent of
injuring a method of correcting and piotecting our citizen
ship that has sound value. There are enough disreputable
and revolting conditions in the world without manufacturing
anything new even for tho sake of screen thrills and entertainment.
