ie Motion Pictures to be Bu
Factor in Education

Lansing, Mich., July 10.?Believing tac
that motion pictures, within the next sjx
few years, will become almost as jju
important a factor in education as drj
text books, courses in motion picture ica
mechanics will be inaugurr.'ed in the en<
' lour Michigan normal collides next enl
j fall Thomas E. Johnson, slate super- vir
^ intendent of public instruction, an- gr<
nounced today. res
^ It will be necessary to train tench- iv
ers to operate motion picture ma- chi
chines to carry out plans already laid me
by the state for introducing motion wa
pictures into theschools. according to ap<
Mr. Johnson. Next fall the state de- on
1_ partment of education will establish sto
a distributing station for educational dei
films. The films are t obe purchased aw
outright by the state and rented to W1
high schools. After the next school "F

According to Superintendent John- on<
son, preliminary tests have proven so
the educational value of films. Stu- we
dents in manual training classes, he str
asserts, prick up the rudiments of 1
bench or lathe work many times fast- the
e er if they are first shown the pro- 'n
k cesses of the work they are to under- wa
^ take in pictures. The same fact ap- ?f
IS plies to natural history, botany, zoo- J
' logy, chemistry and physics, he tioi
' states. Within a few years he ex- nri
'e pects that the motion picture phase ma
of education will 'have been develop- l)rc
< (1 to a point where literature and *
history will be taught through the ?*

Mr. Johnson's idea of making mo- ac*

Jefferson Davis
(Written by Miss Irene Jeter),
'efferson Davis was born in Kenky
in 1808.
It an early age he went with his
ents to Mississippi, where he reved
his early education. He ened
West Point Military Academy,
iduating there in 1828.
'or seven years he saw important
vice on the frontier.
Vs to his personal character, no
n stood higher than Mr. Davis for
lor intpirritv nnrl In
the relations of life. He was n
dest man, and very mild of man ,
while being: mild and gentle he
1 convictions, and the moral cour>
to stand by them. He was a sine
Christian in word and deed and
s a gentleman of wide and varied
ture, especially versed in political
tory and philosophy. He is crowned
the creator of a new order, and
irified in history.
Mr. Davis was elected to congress
1845, where he was an ardent folrer
of Calhoun.
Vfr. Davis entered the senate in "
17 and became the leader of the
uthern party in the slavery and
ites' rights.
He was a genuine patriot, the wise
der, the able statesman, who unrstood
the pv:nciples of civil and reious
liberty, and was willing to
ike every sacrifice save honor, in
tense of the constitutional rights of
> South.
Mr. Davis tried in every honorable
y to maintain peaceful relations'
th the federal government and to
ert war. During the war he acted
th good judgment, dignity and detion
to principle and was especially
xious to mitigate the suffering and
rrow caused by the war. He was
ver seen looking in houses as he
ssed along the streets, or running
ring to see who or whnt hp conlH S
?. *
Davis was a man of positive con:tions
and of strong prejudices
ainst individuals and policies. He
d his. own theory of how the war
,s to be conducted.
The greatest weakness he showed
is when he removed General Joseph
Johnston from command, much
ainst his will, but because advisors
ked for the removal. This was to
Did friction in the cabinet, or elselere,
and that crippled the Confedicy.
Sherman would never have
irched through Georgia to the sea,
t for this. He was much criticised
d misjudgd by many of his own
intrymen even after the war, and it
ased him much heartache, but he
re it patiently for he loved the
uth, and did all that he honestly {
ew how to do. (
His gallant conduct at the battle of
ena Vista made him next to Scott
d Taylor, the most popular heroes ^
the day. In this battle his regi- <
mt, the First Mississippi, wa3 at- (
:ked by a force that outnumbered it
to one, and wa3 sorely pressed. t
t Davis, knowing that if they were ^
ven from their position the Amern
line of battle would be so weak- v
;d as to imperil the safety of the
;ire army, held his ground with inicible
resolution. Santa Anna, j
>wing desperate at the successful
istance of the Mississippians, final- (
ordered a brigade of cavalry to
irge them. Davis formed his regint
in the shape of a V, opening to- ^
rds the enemy, while he sat at its ^
jx. The Mexicans rode gallantly
into the V. The Mississippians 8
od with their rifles on their shoul- ^
s and their fingefs on the triggers,
aiting the orders of the colonel. .
len Davis called out the word, 1
ire!" his troop shot the Mexicans
m their saddles. When Davis was ?
badly wounded that the surgeon
d him to retire, he refused to go. r
had his wound dressed while he c
in his saddle, and held on. The 1
1 soon came and the wounded col- y
;1 was able to seek relief which he (
much needed. The Mississippians *
re victorious from their desperate *
uggle.
Je was taken prisoner soon after e
fall of Richmond and was confined *
Fortress Monroe for two years, but 1
s liberated by the general amnesty 1
1868. *
\t the close of the war his inten- ?
ns were to remain in Richmond, be ?
estcd, and if need be suffer as a
rtyr for his country, but he was
wailed upon to try to escape. 1
dr. Davis published "Rise and Fall '
the Confederate Government." It is ^
best history of the war and sets ^
th very clearly his character, his v
iievements. the principles for which v
stood, and the difficulties he en- P
intered. f
dr. Oliver Dyer, in publishing a
>k on the great senators said that "
became attached to Davis on ac- a
nt of his personal kindness and b
t he noticed it always gave him v
asure to do an act of kindness for o

senate delivering a notable fare1
address, and in the same year f

te states. He did not desire the of- h

ce only in deference to the wishes v
his colleagues. o
