The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER XVII
1/27


PROGRESS AND ENDOWMENT The moving picture goes almost as far as journalism into the social fabric in some ways, further in others.

Soon, no doubt, many a little town will have its photographic news-press.

We have already the weekly world-news films from the big centres.
With local journalism will come devices for advertising home enterprises.
Some staple products will be made attractive by having film-actors show their uses.

The motion pictures will be in the public schools to stay.
Text-books in geography, history, zoology, botany, physiology, and other sciences will be illustrated by standardized films.

Along with these changes, there will be available at certain centres collections of films equivalent to the Standard Dictionary and the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
And sooner or later we will have a straight-out capture of a complete film expression by the serious forces of civilization.
