This world today Is filled to over flowing with wide-awnk** and f**cinat ir.g charms of amusement. From this number" one oi the. most outstanding is t ho moYlpj; picture. MtHions of dollars are spent yearly in building TtHvutnvH lor like pictures to he shown id. mid think oC the vast amount of money consumed in tin* employment of actors and act reuses, for charges of showiUK and seeing the pictures. Great l h Trip that the moving picture of today is! After one Tias worked al) day and the settin^of the golden sun leaves hiin.in a state- oi extreme weariness. what could_J*e_ more re freshing or more pleasant than to walk ifTtO il picture house, have a soft, comfortable chair to sit in and see a picture of romance or a comedy which invisably and unconsciously steals sway this worry and fatigue? Only a few pennies purchases this vast amount of reaction and pleasure for -the tired worker, for children, or for any one elsa I3ut to the sorrow and great dismay of our citizens this great Instrument of amusement in life has a wave of destruction silently prowling at its foundation. A wave of destruction and degradation to what? To the am bitions, tp the characters, and to the Thorals of meu, wumcn, boys and girl# of our great nation an? of the entire world. Tha yrtnng pirl gr>r?g to tftft nlctures and perhaps she sees in the picture an actress who wears an exquisite gown which has shorter sleeves, a shorter and tighter skirt, anft a lower neck than the gownB of 1922; immediately, this young lady's new frock Is fash ioned after the gown of the movie lady; thus, in her foot atepa walks her com panions lowering, constantly, the standards of decent drees and the standards of the morals of our young girls Just on the verge of becoming the mature women of tne land. On the other h&nd, the young boy goes to the pictures and some trickery in secur ing wealth or fame is plainly illustra ted to him. Now, he asks nimself, "If that fellow can do that, why can't IT* He tries but he lacks the tact and as a result he is plunged by tils attempt into the dark, gloomy prison cell or placed on a disgraceful scale of asso ciation "with his fellowmen and com rades. Why? Because he went to the moving picture ahow. Cxciting, thrilling, fascinating and almost uncomprehensive pictures are shown to the attendants. Pictures that fill the heart, soul ana mind to the swelling point in imagination with fatal folly and petty dreamy-like ma terial; not pictures that will leave a helpful and uplifting idea in one's miud. Above this power of tending degrad ation, the moving picture could be an element of the most uplifting and edu cational nature. We have been taught fiony childhood to old age by repented experiences that illustration is the plainest teacher; thus, we know th:t' the motion picture could be employed to the best ndvartage In educating tli.? youth of our land, and even the older people who are buried beneath tlic dark influence of ignorance. The schools and colleges could pr- ? pare for the most difficult -studies <?:' the world to be taught more clearly and more efficiently oy means of the installation of the motion pictures. A picture of the difficult points in t!?' studies banishes the darK skim of doubt and uncomprehenslveness whiidi overshadows the explanation; tlm* plainly to the eye and understanding is this once obscure matter under dis cussion made plain as day to the ill lnfortned as well as to the w:so. This method of teaching gives every student an e*pial chnncc in undersraadlttg '<"? studies, their explanation and value. All classes of people rich, poor, sty ish, laboring, idling, educated, and ig norant attend the pictures. Why nut put bofore their eyes scenes of note - worthiness, scenes or educational na ture; but Instead, the general trend of the picture seems to bend towards trifling folly and pictures of mero In? significance, which cause a momenta laughter but never a thought of valua to remain. Pictures showing nation al. state, world, and even local affair^ and illustrations of the modern prob lems and discussions of the days should be placed upon the screen, and as a result the poor and Ignorant would be afforded opportunities of seeing educational and uplifting mnturial, which otherwise they ctntid not re ce'va. The people of the world and of t h? United State? of America can be made better informed, roor? efficient, and more loyal cltisens by giving to lliena pictures of educational value, rather than mere insignificant trifles which lead them through the lane of Ignor ance and corrupt morals to dark des truction .

Ned Ford. r?' r=7=j Why Boys Do Not Goto Sunday School Taking tais subject from the Indi vid uafview of my community, boys do cot attend Sunday School because of the lack of leadership exhibited both In the parents and In the Sunday school te*<-heir. The more tonu'm e*euaea Of "sleepiness", and -laziness" wtilch boys offer would stand little Bhow against the united effort or teacners and parents to prevent the b^s froro being the backsliders or tae communi ty. The need of cooperation Is nec essary In my community, especially by the teachers and pupils. One branch of the society alone cannot make the Sunday schpol: all must play ? part In order to hare a lively, enter taining. and Interesting school. Any organization will progress if It has a hearty cooperation of all. The boys of today are seeking some place of entertainment. They have a desire ip and themselves a?S?mbl?d_in somo place of attractions no matter where this placc may be; therefore In Inter esting them we may be able to draw them to Sunday school by having an attractive appearance at the place of worship. One of the prominent Baraca lead era of the State has truthfully assert ed that our churches are not as at tractive as they should be. My com munity is lacking that element. "With an attractive church and comfortable class rooms interest may be gained, ill intellectual and moral ways. Lloyd George has asserted tnat the best of ar. education is received at the Sunday school. Good tr.usi-.' has never failed to attract the attention of people of any class-. The sacred hymns played with a good choir will appeal to any one who by chance passes by the church dor.r. Alons; with the good music we'should have varied programs and "not follow time and again the same routine. Boys <:es:re vailed prograirs to hol'l^their ixt'cntion when assembled at the church. With theso elements at (heir zenith* the- boys will attend fhe Sunday school in any com munity. Reuben Strange. '22. 1] \1 W hy Boy? Should Go to Snndiiy School It is or the utmost Importance to every boy to make the journey of lite a nnr-cpa.sful one. To do sc> he must begin with right Ideas. There ffiT" place where these ideas will be better presented to film than In the Sunday school. Every boy has his assign ments in the duties and responslbili tlas of daily life. He is in the world to make the world better, to lift it up U> higher level of enjoyment and pro gress by devoting to his fellows his best thoughts, activities and influence. Would not he get his best thoughts at Sunday school? C'ould be use his Influence in a more desirable way| than going to Sunday school? Boyhood Is the most critical period of a man s life. At this time boys re ceive those Impressions and form those habits which impell them towards the good and true or towards the evil and fsl8e. The Sunday school, therefore. Is the place for him. for surely, surely he *11: ? d ihcre no evil ot M.? f--ise: I The esriv boyhood soul is wltho it cliur Miter. 6. let M ft Sunday school mold that character! Rememoer It Is a man that It forms. Responsible "ork! Boya aro morft easily to do good by examples of lovjng kindness and talus of wHl-nolpg ?in others that l-y threats of sin. crime and punishment. These former things boys will And In Sunday school, but the tatter things ^ never' A few Ideals that Sdndav ( schools strive to Imprrw* upon the young minds are: sincerity, truth, hon psty and benevolence. "An Idle mind Is the Devil's work shop." Tift mind has a certain pow er which cflh not be wholly idle. From , this. then. Is seen the necessity of careful mental cultivation?? training of all the faculties in the right direc tion. What is that direction? If boys arc taught how t? tntnic they will | soon learn what to thinx. Conse quently, the mothers have some sure motives hidden beneath their voice when they tell their noys on Sunday morning that they must go to Sunday school. They do not want their sons classed wlt,fc the boys that prefer the hand full of various colored marbf^ to the book of various colored bible pictures. Tell us whom you prefer as companions and we can tell who you are like. A boy's character helps to choose his companions more thqjj er starting place to reach a goo<I char acter than the sign-posV, Sunday school. Character is po-f-er, charac ter is influence, and the boy that has character, though he may nave noth ing else, has the means ut being use- I ful. not only to his immediate friends, but to society, to the cnujxa of God. and to the world.

I i-'i-re I was old en wr? to er;?r Hi;h School or to appreciate the value of an education. I generally associated tl?^ - word school with a building that was filjcd with cross men and women whose will was law. I also thought Of it as a place where I was f o feed to ; fb five days out Of every- yrnmk tog i Dine months. At that ttme It^ T had been asked why I went to school, I would probably have answered, be cause I have to I Now that I am old enough to know 'w'bat an education really means 1 can say with pride that I pro to school beeenee It la an estab lishment for educating ami training the mind and body. Why do I go to this establishment called school? Surely not because I have to, but because f want to. No boy or girl with an ounce of ambition wants to be classed with the Illiterate, especially In this generous time when an education is so easy?yet so hard? to obtain. In the earliest preiods. or even a hundred years ago, there was some excuse for being an Illiterate per son. but today we can And none. Therefore, the boy or girl of today who hasn't enough ambition to rise above the Illiterate class Is not worthy to be a cltleen of America. The average schools of today are equipped so that a physical education n* well as mental may be obtVi.ed Who wishes to miss that? I surely do not! For what is a strong, well developed mind worth when that mind belongs to a weak, unhealthy body? It Is worth very little to tho Individual person, and Is certainly not worth any thing to the country of which It be longs. When 1 think seriously of the future and realize that the boys and girls of today must fill the va< ancle* of the learned men apd women of whom the United States of America is proud to call her own, I cease to ask myself why I go to school.
