All thase notes serve to illustrate
the carnestneae with which the popu
lation views the performances and It
readily may be seen bow badly the
rural population needs wholesome en
tertainments as well as education
In a number of private discussions
with the lecturer which took plsce In
order to get nn exchange o f opinion*
It could be readly concluded that there
exists among the population a con-
scions longing for education as* well
aa a desire to analyi* critically their
own forms of life with the objact of
epllftlng themselves to a higher de
gree of elvlllsatlon.
The organisation of the film work
has to be made wider and permanent
and for that purpose will be required
aot less than two outfits 1or the
