One of Lord Avobury's "Happy
Thoughts": "I cannot but think that
the world would be better and brigh
ter if the teachers would dwell on
the Duty of Happiness 'as well as on
the Happiness of Duty; for we
ought to be as cheerful as we can,
If only to be happy ourselves as a
most effectual contribution to the
happiness of others." Everyone
must have felt that a cheerful
friend is like a sunny day, shedding
brightness on all around; and most
of us can, if we choose, make of
tho world a palace or a prison. To
bo bright and cheerful often requires
an effort; there is a certain art in
keeping ourselves happy; and In this
respect, as in others, we require to
watch over and manage oursolves
almost as If wo were somebody
else.

"Will Moving Pictures Bo Used In
The Schools?"
NEW YOU If, March . ".Moving
pictures will be used generally in the
schoolroom within two years," says
John Collier, Secretary of the board
of college professors and authors,
which is known as the, National
Board of Censorship for the moving
picture companies.
"They will be a part of the school
system, like books, and they will be
used also to afford evening entertain
ment for the parents and thus inter
est them in school work.
"I cannot think of any study In
grade schools or colleges that cannot
be taught by moving pictures. Al
most any arithmetic problem, for In
stance, can ho thrown on a screen in
some form or another.
"Botany may be taught by beauti
ful pictures, now that colored photo
graphy has been applied to moving
pictures. I havo seen colored mov
ing pictures which showed the plant
ing of seed and the growth and de
velopment of a plant, Its leaves and
its beautiful flowers, all within the
space of ten minutes. Teaching bot
any in tliis way is almost an Im
provement on going into the fields.
Biology and many other sciences
may be taught by the pictures. One
of the latest feats of tho moving
picture experts has been to photo
graph the moving wings of an in
sect 2,000 motions a second.
These pictures may be run slowly
so that the children may see Just ex
actly how an Insect files.
"In natural history the children
may witness sights that they never
could see in the field pictures tak
en with great care and patience, of
mother birds feeding their young;
of wild animals in their haunts,
moving about as in real life, eating
their natures.
"Vivid interest can bo given to
history. The teacher can make It
seem absolutely real by throwing on
the screen representations of great
historical events.
".Sunday schools, before long, will
be using moving pictures to tell
biblical stories to their pupils a
thousand times more effective and
impressive than the charts now In
use.
"In literature, scenes from the
works of great authors might be
thrown on tho screen. In time, as
tho system gains foothold, the mov
ing picture of tho author himself
might be shown,' long after his
death, thus making himself and his
work a living reality in the minds
of tho pupils.
"The beauties of teaching geogra
phy by moving pictures are obvious.
Tho children can be taken on real
tours of the world.
"Tho public library or a special
school library will probably have
charge of the films. Each city will
havo a constantly growing library
of moving pictures a circulating
library through which tho pictures
will bo distributed to the schools."
We haven't heard anyone say any
thing about seeing the first robin this
year. Please don't all speak at once!
