MR. EDISON DECLARES
Children Can Learn Better From
Them, He Testifies at. Famoas Flay
ers Hearing. '
New York Times.
’ Thomas A. Ed son gave his opin-’
ions of the movieH as jin influence on
public oDinion and *s a medium of
education for children yesterday
when cat'ed as an expert witness for
the Government at >3, hearing in the
Federal Trade C mtmiss ons's investi
gation of charges that tli? Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation was try
ing to monopolize the moving picture
industry.
Mr. Edison was called as « Govern
ment expert r: the hearing to testify
in support of the contention that eorN
trol of the mot'an picture industry
would give tremendous power to any
body or any company that oonlro led
it.
Asked whether he thought moving
pictures were very powerful In in
fluencing pe'op'e, Mr. Edison replied:
“There is nothig so powerful ns mo
tion pictures iu influencing people.
They are the most powerful means of
influencing people at the
tittle and will Increase In power from
year to year. Whoever controls the
motion picture industry, controls rhe
most powerfu medium of influence
over tiv* people.”
t‘l tli nk motion pictures have just
started.” he said in answer to a uees
tlon übout the future of the Industry.
"It is mv opinion that- in twenty
yeani; children will be taught through
pictures and not through hooks.”
Mr. Edison said that he regarded
moving pictures as 100 per cent, per-
feet for teaching. They could in
fluence people mightily for good or
bad in the moral sense. They were the
best means for the dissemination of
knowledge, especially among cu'i’-
dren. He said he believed that chil
dren were more susceptible to eu«ca
tion through the screen than persons
of twenty years of age—more sus
ceptive to good and bad influences
alike. f
Crops in Southeast Sufl'er From Wet
anil Cold Weather.
Atlanta, May IS. —Excessive rains,
unusually cool weather, and high
winds of tlie last two weeks have re
tarded the growth of farm crops in
southeastern States, says a summary
of conditions compiled by the local
bureau of economict of ttie federal de
partment of agriculture.
The cold has checked the growth of
cotton. Hie report snvs, and there is
much complaint of delay in . planting
on account of rain, and young cotton
is reported to lie living on account of
low temperatures and of fields becom
ing grassy.
In the extreme southeast corn is re
ported as well advanced, hut the upper
portion of the territory has not yet
planted half of the usual area. Both
oats and wheat are suffering hut good
progress is lieii-g made in potato crops,
both , swept and Irish.
Heavy rains have benefited the Flor
ida citrus crop, early Florida peaches
and the Georgia peddles will soon be
on the move.
llow much phe you worth? Tq many
men means how much Ims the world
been worth to them, not how much
they/have been worth to the world.
ATTACK FROM PULPIT ON
FLAPPERS WHO SMOKE
Rev. Ross H. Stover Says They De
moralize the Soul.
Philadelphia Record.
In his Mother's day sermon preach
ed last evening in Missinh Lutheran
Church, Rev. Ross r 11. Stover strongly
condemned cigarette-smoking women,
declaring, tile practice "will r.ot only
Idight the next generation in body,
/lint will demoralize the soul.’ After
paying warm tribute to the Christian
mothers who teach the child to kneel
by the side of its tied and fold its
hands in nrayer. Hr. Stover said :
"I do not know how you feel about
it, lint whenever I see a woman smok
ing she appears to me die most vulgar
of the vulgar. While in New York re
cently ' I stoppeed at a restaurant.
There two girls were smoking. In the \
hotel where we stopp'd we saw other j
women smoking. Walking up Fifth
Avenue we happened to look into a
window and there saw several women
smoking. 1 believe if these women
smokers-could only know the demoral
izing effect which they are producing
upon others that at least the mother
instinct of their hearts would call a
halt.
"It is a thousand times worse for
women to smoke than for a man. The
Christian world has placed mother
and womanhood upon a plane of ad
miration and iu a sphere where purity
is outstanding. The flappers who to
day tiling they are smart b.v the smok
ing of cigarettes, will not only help to
blight the next generation In body hut
fur more will they demoralize the
soul.
“I saw a picture in the paper some
IRE CONCORD DAILY- TRIBUNE
time ago of one of our rich women
with a cigarette in her hand. Her
two hoys were standing by her side.
Imagine how much she would tic aide
to teach them about- God or of the
great godly principles of America !
•There are some women who think
more of the dub ami parties than of
their homes and little ones. They too.
are breaking down the foundations of
America and doing nothing for God.”
