Edison believes that whoever controls the motion picture industry wields the most powerful educational medium of today. He Favs, wit*1 equal sincerity, that when ediTY?tors Properly utilize films this country wi'l become a nation of highbro'vs. "T think that in twenty years all the children will want to go to school. Thrre *von't be any truants if you make the pictures good," said the inventor. v" ^dison expressed these views yesterday as a witness for the Government at the Famous Players-Lasky film inquiry being condOcted in the Engineering Societies Building, West 3Kth street, to decide whether the film corporation is to be classed a trust. His hands trembled slightly as he re^d the typewritten questions prepared for him, because of his deafness. He smiled as he glanced over the questions and .always hesitated before answering, but spoke with confidence and accuracy. So well defined i were his answers that counsel for I F am Vis Players-Lasky did not cross-1] examine him. I He seemed entirely unconcerned i I^^out the controversy between the i federal Trade Commission and Famous Players-Lasky. He said he has i been out of the business of producing i motion pictures ten years, but is ex- i tremely interested in educational sub- ] jects. \ At present pictures of that type are being partly neglected but in the fu- 1 ture, he said, they will be much more 1 popular than those depending upon i dramatic narratives. Mr. Edison was asked to explain why. ? "I got it in my head that it would be fine to teach children by moving | pictures. I had a visionary scheme " of putting it over among the schools of the United States, these complex ? things to children, to see how it worked," he said. "You know Darwin g was right. We are very imitative, * especially young people. . They will ? remember anything they see. , Tried Out His Theory. I He told of how he took twelve chil- J { > dren, ranging from twelve to fifteen, ( and tried it on them. "I made a mo non picture and took as my subjects J chemistry and physics. After they c saw the picture they went home and i I had their mothers write down what t they had remembered. They had re- 1 membered a great deal. I then re- j made the parts they had'nt under- i | stood. Finally I got as high as 80 to i I 96 per cent understanding by the lit- << U ? BERRY SEASON BRINGS MONEY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) able. The strawberry season in this gec1.9 M? 1 won win oe remembered as a successful one for the growers. Inquiry at the Burroughs Rank & Tiust Co., through which the growers of the Horry Co.mty Strawberry Growers' Association collected their checks for returns, shows that a total of $12,977 had passed through that bank in returns received by the flowers up to last Thursday. This is not an accurate idea of the amount of money coming to Conway irom the crop, however, because many returns had not been received at iliat time; and again there were outside sales cf berries not taken into this account. It would be safe to say that ihe entire income of the members of the association will total the sum of fourteen or fifteen thousand dollars, speaking in round numbers. There is further information about the crop being gathered now by this paper and the results will appear herein as soon and as rapidly as the information can hp nht-nin#?d nnrl rmf in shape for the printer.

Some of the best speakers of the South will be on the platform. The meetings will doubtless draw a big attendance at the beach while they are going on. o Tell what you know to The Horry Herald and let The Horry Herald tell others. tie folks.*' The wizard tnen disclosed a secret that had taken plat* several years after he had attempted to produce pictures of educational value. He told how members of the board of education went over his plant to see them and went back to New York and did nothing. "I saw I had bitter opposition from book publishers and I knew defeat of my plan was certain, so I gave up," declared Mr. Edison. Mr. Edison said he believes 85 per cent of knowledge is received through the eye and not through the ear. "You can't get much through the ear save music," remarked the inventer. "Motion pictures are 100 per cent perfect for teaching anything." Film Made Inventor Rich. He then recalled an incident that took' place in his laboratory and described how motion pictures will be an Important part in business. A poor inventor who had patented a beer bottling apparatus came to him and asked to have his machine put in motion pictures. The man had labored for years with his invention, | but with no success. Mr. Edison took a motion picture of it, described it in detail and the man went to Europe. A few months Inter he had sold $800,000 worth of stock and eventually became a wealthy man. "In a few years educational pictures will be exhibited in every theatre. Schools and colleges wilf adopt them for teaching and the dramatic and comedy films will be in a minority. Children resent books. They don't like them, but they would sft all day and look at a picture." Asked how' he would make an edu- ; rational picture interesting, he explained that when he remade the pic- 1 ture of chemistry and physics he I made it attractive by putting a little boy and girl in it. "The children watched them ?nrl did not forget what they did. You can teach them without Any suspicion I of their being taught," Mr. Edison explained. Made First Picture in 1887. The inventor told how he conceived ; the idea of inventing a motion picture. It was in 1887. He wanted to do for the eye what he had done for the ear. His first apparatus, which produced forty pictures a second, was the kinetograph. It was not a projection niachine, but contained an endless tape. One looked through an aperature at a revolving tape and saw the motion. That was afterward enlarged. Mr. Edison said he did not patent the foreign rights at the time as he did not know enough about the motion picture business. J. J. Tigart, United States Commissioner of Education, another wit ness for the government, testified he thought that ultimately the use of pictures will be educational rather than commercial. "The result of education in the United States is more effective ,hr<Aigh motion pictures than through my other methods, said Mr. Tigart, Child-birth /aluable Illustrated Book Son!
