Moving Pictures May
Replace School
Edison Criticises Primary School Meth¬
ods, Saying Movies Would Great¬
ly Improve Them.
New York, May 11.—Substitution of
motion pictures for books in the na¬
tion’s -elementary schools would, tn
twenty years, bring about an advance¬
ment of ten centuries in civilization,
Thomas A. Edison said today.
The scientist declared present pri¬
mary methods were poor and unattrac¬
tive to children. The remedy, he said,
is to eliminate boresome books and
teach with motion pictures. This is
a more vivid, more compelling method
of holding a child's attention.
Mr. Edison’s criticism of primary
schools was given to qualify a prev¬
ious statement that after a series of ex
aminationes of college men, applicants
for positions in his plants, he had found
them amazingly ignorant, the fault, ha
said, was not in the colleges, nor the
men; their early education had been
poor.
City Ettiquette
At Alarm of Fire
Not Only Good Form and Good Sense,
Hut Observance of State and City
Statutes.
(From the Elberton Star.)
When the fire bell sounds in Elber¬
ton. everything from a high powered
Packard to a cut-down Tin Lizzie puffs
and runs riot over every street in the
town like a pack of fox hounds that
had lost the track. Then, of a sudden,
when smoke is sighted, here they go
honking and filling the streets with
dust and disorder, and not only endan¬
gering the lives of the occupants of
the gas-consumers and of the people
along the side-walks, but also making
it impossible for the fire engine to get
by and save the property from utter
destruction. This picture may be a lit¬
tle overdrawn, but very little. As a
matter of fact, it is good form, good
style, ettiquette, and good manners for
all traffic to drive to the curb and stop
and give a clear track to the fire fight¬
ing apparatus. Street ears and even
railroad trains observe this plan, in
fact it is a violation of city and state
law to do otherwise. For a good pro¬
portion of the population of Elberton
to block the adjacent streets with ram¬
shackle automobiles, and to fill the
grounds and sidewalks with gaping cu¬
riosity mongers who have to !>e toted
out of the way by the fire fighters be¬
fore beginning to fight the fire, is al¬
most a sin and a shame, and should
not be permitted in an up-to-date city
that puts on airs in other respects
like Elberton does.
Says Tree Kills
Flies by Aroma;
Swatters Doomed
Washington, May 12.—Fly swatters
and screens would be relegated to the
junk pile if the United States depart¬
ment of agriculture finds merit in the
fly killing properties claimed for a
suppling grown from the seed of a Ken¬
tucky coffee tree by the late Professor
George F. Holmes, of the University
of Virginia. The sappling has been
sent here by the University for*a test
of the properties claimed and with the
hope That the seeds will be distributed
throughout the country to exterminate
the pests.
Professor Holmes asserted the tree
gave off a peculiar poison fatal to
flies and therefore was a boon to hu¬
manity. (
He planted it in his garden and re¬
quested that it be dedicated as his only
memorial. At the direction of the fac¬
ulty a metal plate inscribed ’’Holmes
Tree,” was fastened to its trunk and
an iron fence placet! around it.
WHO AM I?
I am more powerful than the com¬
bined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more men than all
the wars of the world.
I am more deadly than bullets, and
I have wrecked more homes than the
nigluiest of seige guns.
I steal in the United States over $3
006,000,000 each year.
I spare no one. and l find inv victims
among the rich and the poor alike, the
young and the old. the strong and the
weak; widows and orphans know me.
I loom up to such proportions that
I cast my shadow over every field of
labor, from the turning of a grind
stone to the moving of every railroad
train.
I massacre thousands upon thous¬
ands of wage earners in a year.
I lurk in unseen places, and do most
(jt my work silently; you are warned
against me, but you heed not.
I am relentless, I am everywhere;
in the home, on the streets, in the fac¬
tory, at the railroad crossings, and on
the sea.
I bring sickness, degredation and
death, and yet few seek to avoid me.
1 destroy, crush or maim; I give
nothing, but take all.
1 am your worst enemy.
I AM CARELESSNESS.

TRIBUTE TO MOTHER.
On this happy Sabbath morning,
let none forget Mother; be she ever
so far av'ay. let some tribute of love
be sent her. Honor dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy flakes on
her brow, plowed deep furrows on her
cheek, but is she not beautiful now?
The lips are thin and shrunken, but
these are the lips that have kissed
many a hot tear from childish cheeks
and they are the sweetest lips in the
world. The eye is dim yet it glows
with the soft radiance of holy love
which can never fade. The sands of
life are nearly run out, but feeble as
she is. she will go further and reach
down lower for you than anyone else
upon earth. When the world shall
despise and forsake you, when it leaves
you by the wayside to die, unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather you
up in her feeble arms and carry you
home and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul
is disfigured by vices. Love her dearly
and cheer her declining years with
tender devotion.
A teacher was reading to her class,
when she came across the word ’ uni
ware.’’ She asked if any one knew
the meaning.
One little girl timidly raised her hard
and gave the following definition:
”Unaware is what you put on first
and take off last.”
It wars were run upon a cash basis
there would he fewer casualties and
less trouble over the settlement of
claims, and posterity would not be bur¬
dened with the folly of its ancestry.
