CENSORING PICTURE SHOWS.
'-Speaking in his annual report of the influences upon the character formation of school children, the Chief Inspector of Schools in New South Wales writes : —"No one denies that the picture shows, nightly attended by 1 ?rowds of children, may be a means or innocent recreation and educative in their effect in the best sense of the term, but the. moral teaching of the school is not seldom contradicted hy •picture scenes suggestive of improper relations and defiance of law and order. It is. I consider, a matter of the utmost urgency that a censorship of the picture shows should be instituted, to prevent the contamination of vouthful minds. Tho proprietors of these sbows would. I believe, not be adverse to such censorship."
