Aside from his scholastic education he has traveled and knows the prac tical side of life as well as the tech nical. , It was interesting just to sit and listen to him talk in his modest, quiet way. His ideas about education are particularly good His first state ment about this business of education was: "I have been over-educated in a certain sense, but feel that I cannot place the true value on my training as yet. While I was at Oxford I learned to get along with people. If Oxford does nothing else, it trains people to get along. Develops Quick Mind "A university training develops a strong, quick mind It prepares r. man better for an occupation or pro fession than anything else can possibly do. I feel, however, that I have gain ed,as much through travel as I have in the class room. "Since you've asked me how a col lege student can prepare himself foi the motion picture industry and how a university training has aided me, I should say, at the outset, take a broad university course and study the fine arts along with your specific study. In the making of a picture we are com pelled to work with people who are just like folks in the other walks of life.

Just to give an example of what I mean, let us take a scene in a certain part of Pans, the Latin quarter "The lamps used must be exactly like the ones used in the quarter.

Students can use cheap materials and construct sets which will qualify them for ac tual work, once they get into the mo tion picture industry as technical di rectors.
