Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
when approached by the Washington

sylvania. It indicates a general trend
toward progressive ideals. In
this connection, however, it is
necessary to bear in mind that
since 1912 lines are blurred
considerably on progressive
policies.
For example, a very large

motion picture. He has been making
a specialty of finding out what the aver
age citizen likes ar.d wants in the mo
tion picture market aside from the dra
matic. What he has discovered he tells
herewith. It is the result of many
months of intensive study and wide in
vestigation. Hundreds of industrial motion pic
ture exhibitions are occuring daily in
the non-theatrical field. Strange as it
may seem the pictures in such exhibi
tions are those that are given "thumbs
down" by the theatrical patrons. Busi
ness pictures are being increasingly
used by schools, churches and other or
ganizations to emphasize or illustrate
their message. This adaptation, or adop
tion if you will, shows remarkable ver
satility in capitalizing these valuable
forces. This method of application in
creases rather than diminishes the mes
sage the producer or manufacturer
wishes to convey through his industrial
picture.
As the commercial entertaining pic
ture stimulates the emotions and servts
to ai pease the demand for tears, laugh
ter, love and hate, so the business pic
ture awakes the intellect, develops a
broadei conception of life and of our
intricate and complex social system. It
creates a harmonious understanding of
and a greater sympathy for those in
other walks of life. These pictures are
the silent masterful appeal for the bro
therhood of men and a grim warning
and barrier against intolerance by sect
or class.
During the past five years industrial
pictures have risen from an uninterest
ing trip through,' a factory, to produc
tions of real merit. These early pic
tures were ground out by free-lance and
often inexperienced camera men, with
the result that they were of little value
to either manufacturer or audience. The
present-day production is built with as
much and often greater care and prep
aration than many of our heralded super
productions. That a business picture de
signed for a purpose, artistically and
skillfully produced brings the desired
results has been proven over and over
again. Its entertainment qualities open
the theatre to it and its educational
value creates a demand in the non-theatrical
field.
During the past year many of these

but one of a score of non-theatrical dis
tributor organizations who are listing
pictures provided by business concerns
of national reputation. The demand for
these films is greater than the supply
and convinces one that this type of pic
ture is successful in meeting require
ments of the non-theatrical field, namely
entertainment and informational, and
from the manufacturer's point of view
a direct sales and aducational service
to consumer.
When boiler makers request to see
how typewriters are made, and churches
are eager to present on Sunday evening
production of coal, growing of oranges,
etc., and coal miners ask for " A look-in
on the silk industry," they do not have
to ask, "Do the people want to know
about these things?" The present sys
tem of production and distribution of
entertainment pictures makes the secur
ing of the comparatively few available
films extremely difficult. (Practically
the entire supply of entertaining pic
tures to the non-theatrical field is se
cured through independent non-theatrical
exchanges, a service not too bounti
ful or satisfactory at the present time.
Exhibitors fearing that the non-theatrical
exhibitions will interfere with
their business, demand that the distri
butors refrain from providing any thea
trical pictures to non-theatrical exhibi
tors. On the other hand the exhibitor,
continually being prodded by commit
tees on better films to select higher
class pictures, is seriously handicapped
by the methods through which he must
book pictures from distributors. Few,
if any, exhibitors have the option of
selection or choice of programs.
The theatrical field producers figure
on a quick turn-over, the average ex
pectancy being a complete return of
their initial investment in 14 weeks or
less, with one hundred per cent profit
in an additional fifty-two weeks.
Until some philanthropist or philan
thropic organization makes possible the
production of special pictures for the
church and school without the thought
of financial return they will have to be
content with the "catch as catch can"
from the various non-theatrical film
agencies . The school though able at the
present time to secure but a few exper
imental complete film courses of study
or direct supplementary material to
their text, is in a much more favorable
position to the church, as practically all
scenics, comedies, serials and many dra
matic productions have a direct bearing
upon the subjects of physical and com
mercial geography, history, physics and
literature, while the industrial or busi
ness pictures lend themselves readily to
vocational guidance, science and me
chanics.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
When a feller pays attention to the
commonest of things, there's a powerful
sight of comfort in the happiness k
brings. If we overlook the details in the
rush of gettin' there, we may face the
grim necessity of bringin' up the rear.
In the thousan' little ventures that a
feller undertakes, it may be plantin'
flowers, or it may be killin' snakes. Our
hand may grasp the saber, or the handle
of the plow but we don't accomplish
anything, without a-knowin' how!
The man that borrya money at a tri
flin' rate per cent, may dissipate his
wages till he don't know how they went.
Europe Greets Former President Taft
.M
tU riL -H ltT.v.n.. If
Former President Taft made no flam
boyant announcement of his trip to
Europe this summer, still he is being
received with enthusiasm and interest
at every center visited. In London he
was-honored at state affairs and dinners
in a way befitting his ability. The fact
which our schools can put the industrial
t)ii:iurtf la ill uuiivviiuii wii.ii uia vwb- i
tional guidance courses. There is no
doubt in the minds of educators and
i i t- ..UL 41.-
employment managers that a large per
cent of our industrial unrest is due
to square pegs in round holes; if
through an industrial picture one or
more boys and girls find a more congen
ial field of labor or become more inter
ested in the thing they are doing, the
picture will have served the nation well.
Members of the Theater Owners' Lea
gue of America have issued a statement
in which they offered to open their
houses any morning during the week to
educational institutions or societies for
the free exhibition of motion pictures
pertaining to education. Whether the
league has realized an unusual oppor
tunity to render a priceless service to
our coming citizens or whether the offer
was prompted in self-defense or to cre
ate a greater spirit of good will to the
theater or to retard a supposed en
croachment upon the theatrical business
by the rapidly increasing use of film by
industries and institutions, churches
and schools, we care not, the fact is
that they have offered. It is an oppor
tunity worthy of consideration and a
.ervice of real merit. It is up to the
local institutions to accept at once this
generous offer.
With the newer types of projectors
and generating outfits the motion pic
ture is now avuilable to all communities
:'rom the smallest to the largest and to
all industries isolated or in groups.
Through the welfare organizations of
the plant or in co-operation with outside
agencies the noon-hour film service is
becoming quite a popular thing. The
industrial picture has its place with the
comedy at the department nights at the
plant Y. M. C. A.'s club houses or com
munity centers. It Is invariably found
on the programs of the foreman's and
managerial staff meetings. Production
departments are using these pictures as
a means of training new employees by
showing them the relation of parts to
each other and the importance of the
part each plays in producing a perfect
product. These men experience a new
thrill and satisfaction in their work by
appreciating and understanding their
contribution which makes others depen
dent upon their handiwork and their de
pendence upon others, after seeing a
product developed from raw material to
consumer.
The screen has been in turn a novelty
and a source of entertainment. It has
now becomo and will continue to be, one
of the greatest influential factors in
Practical Education
The child's brain is susceptible of
the highest development, but it
should be developed along the line
of its inclinations and for practical
purposes. If ever there was a time
when sanity in education was need
ed, now is that time. Our schools
and colleges are educating the youth
of this land away from the human
instincts of well developed boys and
girls.
The education of today seems to
destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour
age, and a desire for self-suport.
The educational system of today has
apparently destroyed the desire on
the part of children to be contribu
ting members of society. They seem
to think that the atate owes them
something because it gives them a
free education. There are very few
boys learning to be master mechan
ics. The majority are trying to find
an elevator by which they can ride to
the top story of success. Success was
never reached by an elevator. The
mountain peak of Successs can be
reached only by climbing over the
rocks and by enduring the hardships
dangers, and difficulties.

Enjoying Visit from Brother.

accompanied by his brother, l. t. Alt JM,
whose home Is at Manilla, Iowa, who ar
rived here the last of the week for a
visit of 30 days. It has been 33 years
since the brothers met, and they are en
joying a genuine reunion. Mr. Akers

and this is his first visit to the West He
fir.ds a much different country here from
what he is used to and wonders what
we are able to do with all the big hil'a

would make a visit until he drove up to
the house at the Eight Mile farm.

If the manufacturing plants of this
country had to depend upon Ameri
can master mechanics, the factories
of the land would have to close. The
majority of the master mechanics
controlling the factories today have
been trained in foreign schools.
There are very few apprentices, We
have permitted the tyrannical labor
unions of the country to destroy the
school of apprentices. The idea ot
organizations or institutions arbitra
rily saying how many apprentices
they will permit to be trained! Such
a tyrannical suggestion from an or
ganization should not be permitted.
Such a doctrine is a damnable curse
to the manufacturing plants of this
land.
Men of brains and money should
spend their time and money and
their energy in founding, erecting,
and directing technological schools
for the training of boys and girls in
the great mechanical trades of life.
There should be a great technologi
cal school in every city of this land,
and our boys should be encouraged
to learn trades, to master trades, and
to become masters in their trades.
We have too many counter hop
pers, too many clerks, too many non
entities, and too few technically
trained mechanics coming from the
pulic school! of eur country.
