What the "Movies" May Become.
That the cinematograph has not attained.
perhaps not approched, the limit of its possibili
tiei, it admitted by all who have given the matter
serious attention. Scientists are studying the
. rrischine, with a view to extending its range, the
especial quest being for the stereoscopic
projecting lens, that will give the pictures the
semblance of life, rather than the motion of
Shadows. This, and the synchronization of the
film and the phonograph, so that the pictures will
ictually speak, are the two great steps forward
sought most at present. v
J Even with these discoveries made and per
fected to use, there remains something else to
be done, and it may be done while the experi
ments are being carried on. This has to do with
the quality of the pictures.- From the first the
greatest of all arguments for the moving picture
has been its educational value. None has ever
denied this potency of the "movie." Many have
regretted that the purely entertainment feature
has been permitted to so overlay the educational
sped as to obscure it almost to totality. Here
is where a correction may be made, and without
juuch effort. No thought should be given to
destroying the moving picture as a source of en
tertainment, for it fills too large a space in the
life of the people now. Nor should the educa
tional element be given the appearance of para-,
niountcy to the point of excluding those who
;ek amusement rather than enlightenment.
What may be done, and with little if any dis
location of the present machinery of producion,
U to arrange a proportional relation between
jt he two, offering, them in such combination as
twill mingle rather than separate the two, and by
Improvement in the entertainment and popu
larizing the purely informative, strike a happy
balance that is certain to redound to the benefit
of all. tittle in the nature of prescience is re
quired to foretell the effect of this. Satiety
would be averted because of diversity, a great
(leal that is now objectionable, slap-stick and
fustard pie comedies and the like, could easily
make way for the better, and the "movies" would
readily attain a plane worthy of an agency that compiled religious statistics which show ' the
directly and indirectly affects more lives and inLotal American church membership is 45,997,199.
Auenccs more minds than any other, save pos
sibly the public schools, today,
i Foresighted managers may look ahead to this.
It will require some courage, perhaps, to wipe
out reels that now are assets, but it will pay in
iht end to do so. The moving picture should be
great help instead of a toy, and it will be made
'such if the men in control of the industry se

pre..ion, but wrote of far-off, impracticable and
idly romantic things.

Selling Psychology,
"We have largely subdued the material world
to our uiei, but rnen are trained and selected.
Influenced and controlled, employed and Ji
mitted, put In prisoa and in congress by methods
that have survived from the pre-scientific pe
riod," Thus does Dr. J. McKeen Cattell, preU
dent of newly formed I'l) etiological corporation,
introduce to the world the idea that the scientific
control of conduct may become of greater
economic importance than the ue of electricity
or steel
A group of college pfofci.ort, including Wal
ter Dill Scott of Northwestern university, Wil
liam McDougall, Harvard; W. B. TilUbury,
Michigan, and C. E. Seaihore of Iowa univer
sity have incorporated to enter the bustneit of
applying their scientific knowledge of human na
ture to business, industrial and other problems.
The earnings of this strange corporation are to
be used for further mnreh.
Every successful msn, and In fact every suc
cessful wife, makes ue of psychology, though
usually by instinct rather than training. Instead
of haphazard methods of hiring and firing em
ployes some great companies now depend upon
the advice of trained psychologists. This human
factor is recognized as being at the basis of labor
unrest and all the problems of management. One
of the applications of this science was illustrated
in the engaging of. the office force of the
Psychological corporation. Simple tests such as
the transportation of characters and the omis
sion of -words from sentences were given ap
plicants instead of the usual questions. "I can
tell more about a girl in half an hour by such an
examination than I could by having her work in
the office for three weeks," said Dean M. Bram
hall, the secretary.
There is no resemblance between the tests
given thus and such questionnaires as Thomas
A. Edison uses; the scientific way is to gage the
mental capacity of the subject, not his store of
information. They are similar to the mental
tests given in the army, consisting partly of sen
tences with missing words to be filled in, direc
tions to be followed quickly and correctly and
questions designed to show whether one thinks
clearly or confusedly. 'Theyalso seek out spe
cial abilities in their subjects, even along such
lines as musical talent. "If the little girl who ran
away from home to avoid piano lessons had been
examined by this method before her parents
tried to make a musician of her, a lot of time and
money and unhappiness would have been saved,"
one of the professors declared.
There are limits, of course, to what can be
determined by psychology, and there are some
with little scientific standing who make prepos
terous claims. The advent of this new organiza
tion composed of twenty experts represents a
splendid move. Man has been quick to master
machinery, but slow indeed to understand the
workings of his own mental and emotional apparatus.

j ; - Illiterate, But Not Ignorant.
; One of the educators of national repute, talk
ing to the conference on illiteracy at Chicago
last week, said a man may be illiterate and yet
fnot ignorant. This is granted. A certain de
gree of native shrewdness usually marks the
inan or woman who can not read or write, but
.this is not an argument in favor of neglect of op
portunity to acquire -enough of an education to
tat least read and write. In former years when
'skill in letters was left to weaklings, the strong
devoted themselves to such arts or occupations
las do not call for the exercise of "book learning,"
Jbut do require manual dexterity and great bodily
strength. " We" may recall the pious ejaculation
'of the great Douglas, after Marmion had escaped:
5 Curses on his clerkly skill!
? " Thank God, that son of mine,
Save crippled Gawain, ne'er penned a line.
A man might rule a kingdom,, and not be able
std write his name, yet Charlemagne felt that he
Iwas leaving his greatest monument to posterity
fin the schools he established, and Alfred, who
I welded Saxon England into one, was also the
foremost man of letters as well as the greatest
5 warrior-statesman of his time. Illiteracy is not
t necessarily a sign of ignorance, but in America,
j and generally throughout the civilized world, it
lis a proof of either indolence or a deprivation
: that is almost a crime.

The Splendor That Goes Unseen.
"When Jackson opened his mouth he said
something worth while," is Vachel Lindsay's
f characterization of that American president. The
poet went on to express his disgust with "our
modern soupy daily writings, of the soupy J
; weekly and the soupy monthly.'
i It is true that a great many public speakers
have nothing of any importance to say, and that
, many writers had just as well, as far as fde pub
I lie is concerned, cease their activities. Lindsay
is qualified to advise and criticize, for he has

A Million New Church Members.
It may be, as scoffers will maintain, that this
is no proof that the world is growing better, but
practically all the major religious faiths are mak
ing steady gains in membership. Each Sunday
during the last five years an average of more
than 15,000 persons joined the various churches
in America. . An average of three congregations
have been organized daily and the average join
ing the ministry has been four and one-half per
sons per day. -
Dr. E. O. Watson, secretary of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in America, has
This issa gain of 4,070,345 since the church cen
sus of .1916 and indicates a clear gain of more
than a million in the last year. The total religious
constituency of the country, which includes not
only members but adherents not formally united,
is set at 95,858,096. On this estimated fcasis,
Protestants number 74,795,226; Roman Catholics,
17,885,646; Jews, 1,120,000; Eastern Orthodox
(Greek and Russian), 411,054; Mormons,
1,646,170.
. "He goes to church on Sunday, so they say
he's an honest man," an old song goes. It is
something for moralists to argue, whether the
desire to appear virtuous docs not indicate some
good. For the most part, and this is sure, the
persons listed in this census are sincere in their
expression of a spiritual ideal. Although this age
is like all others, fond of imagining itself wilder
than any other, yet the facts seem to be that it
is fundamentally sound and filled with the desire
for good. . '
Judging by the attention given to pipe dreams

cision of a few lines now generally
unintelligible, the text was spoken

The purpose was not at an arcnaa
ologlcal, but wholly artistic. Crit
ics of tha tvpe of Lamb and Cole
ridge recognized the fact that Shake
speare's appeal was primarily to the
imagination, uoetne even perceiveu
the superiority of a stage upon
which "the play runs its proper
course, full of passion and unhin
dered, and no one has leisure to
ponder localities." Yet one and all
balked at the seemingly inevitable
conclusion that the best "executive
instrument" for Shakespeare's plays
was the instrument for which tney
were written. In 1910 the New the
ater produced "The Winter's Tale"
on an Elizabethan stage, making its
greatest Shakespearean success both
with critics and public, tor tne
tercentenary celebration the Drama
society chose "The Tempest" as the
play which has suftered most rrom
the "pictorial" stage, and which
most fully illustrates the technical
resources at Shakespeare's com
mand. Whereas the prestige o
company and all the resources of the
modern theater secured only 13 per
formances for his mutilated version
of this play, the Drama society pro
duction numbered 35 performances.

It is a demonstrable lact tnat
Shakespeare's theater was identical
in principle with the theaters of the
great Spaniards and the great
Greeks an unframed stage, unen
cumbered with scenery, upon which
the illusion of actuality was created
by the poet s lines, the actor a art.
The time may come when even lit

the case of plays written lor sucn a
stage, the only effective instrument.
