REGULATING THE MOVIMG PICTURES.
The irresistible cinematograph is attracting the attention of educationalists in Biitaiu as in New Zealand. A remarkable circular dealing witn the possibilities of its abuse has been sent to the local educational authorities of the United Kingdom. This circular is signed by Cardinal Bourne, the Bishop of Birmingham, the Rev F. B. Meyer, Sir Albert Rollit, the Earl of Meath, Mr James A. Yoxall, M.P., and the headmasters of Eaton, Winchester and Rugby. It gives some startling evidence of the present evils of the unrestricted use of the cinematograph in several countries. It also points out what is being done in these countries to regulate it, and it hopes that the “observations relating to the use and the abuse of the cinematograph will be seriously considered by your education authority, and that this may lead to the entire removal of the apparatus from that position of injurious influence on morals and education in which its unlicensed exercise has placed it, and to its establishment under such safeguards as have been suggested, as a valuable means of spiritual, intellectual, and social development.’’
