Favs, wit*1 equal sincerity, that when

"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

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.

BAPTISTS TO COME
The Baptist meeting at Myrtle
Beach will be held on June 24th,
through June 30th. 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.

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,
