EDUCATION BY PICTURE.
At the recent Medical Congress in London Dr Murray Leslie emphasised the great value of the cinematograph as a factor in hygienic education. This popular method of imparting instruction always commands attention and the appeal to the eye is better suited to most ordinary audiences than any other method. The value of the moving picture has been found particularly useful in India, entirely eliminating tha language .difficulty in a land where dialects are multifarious. Another speaker in supporting Dr Leslie, said the work of the medical officer of health should be educative before all else. It was his duty, in the first place, to educate his council in hygienic principles, and he had to educate the property owners, the employers, the butchers and farmers, and other tradesmen with whom he came directly in contact. The work of the school medical officers, school nurse>s and health visitors who worked under his direction was almost entirely educational in the matter of housing .and cleanliness.
