deplored the effect of the motion pic

America.
"Due to the moving picture very

terrible paucity of words at their com
mand. "In other days our younger gener-

In putting over the pageant.
"All of these interruptions are se-'

school to study, and as things have
been happening lately they are having
a hard time doing it. W,e have to

a panacea for the present situation
in the schools and community.
