We think the school could not have found anything nAre beneficial to have obtained. The one fault with this machine Is that we have no moving picture camera to take pictures of school activi les. There are two cameras In town but neither one of the films will fit our machine. We think that the school should find some way to get the camera to go with this ma chine.
