Motion Pictures
Are Undermining
Children, Claims
WASHINGTON.—Blood and thun¬
thrillers, Immoral and far-fetched
pictures are undermining the
mental and moral health of children,
in the opinioii of Miss Grace Abott,
director of the Children’s Bureau of
the Labor Department.
“The effect of the cinema on chil¬
dren is now an international prob¬
lem, for the future depends on the
young generation,” Miss Abbott said.
subject is now before the Lea¬
gue of Nations. Welfare organiza¬
of the various powers are mak¬
surveys of the reaction of movies
children and their reports will be
at the next meeting of the
committee for the protection
children.”
The United States intends to make
study of the effect of movies on
youngsters, Miss Abbott
said today. Results of the study will
analyzed and recommendations
for the supervision of character
of pictures shown children.
“Parents should allow their children
to attend picture shows—that isv cer¬
tain classes of shows. The high type
films provide recreation and educa¬
tion at the same time.
“We all know children should be in
bed at night. They should not be
allowed to attend the late perform¬
ances.
“A great many pictures cause chil¬
dren to stretch their imagination and
gives them wrong ideas of life. This
is not fair to the child.
“Parents should select proper shows
for their children to attend and
schools could aid in this work by
recommending films which provide
clean amusement and basic education
at the same time,” Miss Abbott said.

The Purpose Of
Rural Education

vering the most precious elements in
the human heritage of skill, know
ledge and ideals, and through these
helping child and society at large.
The child is a social product and
is fitted to adopt the practices of
his group, but society today is a com
plex organization, with many inter
ests, many many varied forms of liv¬
ing and many points of view. A
good education must develop com¬
mon language, common standards of
conduct and other elements of com¬
mon culture, but the school must not
only socialize the child it must devel¬
op the inclination to learn from life
itself and to make the conditions of
life such that we all will learn that
in the process of living is the finest
product of schooling.
For awhile let us*eomment on the
environments of the child. The child
must be allowed to mingle with people
who have different points of view and
different problems—the child’s nat¬
ural environment affects his growth,
of knowledge.
He must possess the “tools of
learning," by these we do not mean
reading, writing and arithmetic, yet
these are necessary, but in additioh
to these science in its* many forms,
such as art, music, the lessons of hi*
tory, acquaintance with great charac¬
ters of past and present, the works
of other lands, the current improve¬
ments.
Then from these few crude state¬
ments is it not true that the purpose
of rural education is the same as for
education anywhere. It is to help
rural children live more satisfying
and more effective lives. Many of us
seem to think the first question to
concern us in the rural elementary
school or Junior High School is
“where are we going?"
But first we should and must con¬
sider the question from where did
we start? School life is a life of
experience furnished by our environ¬
ment. The rural school should he
developed with specific reference to
the “lacks” of “needs” of rural life
in general and to its own community
in particular. *
To sums up; rural schools must aim
at giving the children as good general
education, fthe course of a study must
differ widely from that of city
schools, yet it should be the aim of
school to present such subject matter
as will search out abilities of the
growing generation and to make the
most of nation's children by fitting
them one and all, for tfiwse walk*
of life for which they are individually
The question: that so often comes
in minds of parents of rural com¬
munities is—“is' it worth while to
send my child to a rural school or a
high school ?” of course, there
is but one answer to this question—
yet the practical way.of finding out

is by attending this school regularly.
The writer, who is at present un¬
der instruction in the Georgia State
College, has had occasion for the past
four years to mix and mingle with
teachers and popular educators from
all over the state and other states,
having on many occasions had the
i opportunity, of conversing with them
in genesal
>
We gather facts from their talks
that are very interesting, much un
j like some in conditions as surround
i us. Let us compare the schools of
1 Mitchell county with schools of
other counties of Georgia. When this
is done we’ll find that although not
best, we are coming toward the front
and several points of our progress are
outstanding.
We find that the majority of our
school terms in rural districts run
for at least seven months, several
counties run from three, four and up
to seven months. Our teachers are
prompt paid, teachers in some other
counties are not, our county board of
education has at heart the interest of
schools throughout the county, look¬
ing out for improved school systems,
several counties as yet have not be¬
gun this great work.
It was the writer's privilege to re¬
present Mitchell county and the work
being done in Mitchell county in gen¬
eral before eight hundred teachers,
the majority of whom are teaching
in our own state of Georgia, and I
was proud of the fact that I could say
something of improvement of schools
and school systems in general that
was not reported from other counties.
Then let us carry Mitchell county's
school systems and educational ad¬
vantages ever onward and upward.
May we hitch our wagon to a star
but be careful to keep the wheels on
the ground, by having cooperation
of parents, teachers, pupils, educators
be literary in character and cannot
at large, and the schools of our county
will accomplish more the coming
school year.
New Postal Regulations
Will Result In Economy
ATLANTA, Ga.-r-Business men of
Georgia and users of fTarcel post in
general will save several hundred
dollars each year as well as a great
deal of time as the result of a new
postal regulation that was announc¬
ed today’ at the central branch of
the Atlanta postoffice in the Peach¬
tree Arcade.
Effective August 1, mailers of par¬
cel post must guarantee to pay re¬
turn postage on the parcels if they
cannot be delivered. Orders to this
effect were received in Atlanta today.
The new order will not work any
hardship on the user of the parrel
post system and at the same time it
will increase the efficiency of the
parcel post system at least fifty per
cent in the way of handling unclaim¬
ed parcels.
After August 1, parcels that are
not sent with label attached reading
“return postage guaranteed” will be
sent to the dead letter office and the
sender'will renounce all claim to the
parcel.
As the system is at present, the
sender is notified to send postage
when a parcel cannot be delivered
or is refused. Several days time
and a great deal of the clerk’s time
are wasted as well as stationery used j
