FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 IBid For Tha Children The chairmen of the Chicago cen- sorship commission protests that at- tendance at the movies is bad for children, a fact that most people are disposed to recognize as true, but fail to apply in their own .pa^tltular case*. The movies are too con- venient as a place'to send'Children for them to be generally condemned by parents. * â- * ."'.'•' f'flie idea of making the films shown in the motion picture theater*tsuffi- ciently harmless to be suitable fot the children in the audience is b'ej'og gradually abandoned. The insipid story on the screen, even though it has the virtue of being-harmless to the child's physical and moral being is so unattractive to the adidt that it is impracticable in a business that is operated for profit, just as' other businesses are operated. Except in such cases as the sign "Kor Adults Only" can be counted upon to en- sure an audience more, fruitful,in the box office receipts than "a program that admits both children and adnlts, the program that is'entirely suitable for children, or entirely suitable for grown-ups, is doomed to certain failure. "' The movies, just as the legitimate theater, reflect the public taste and standards, at least as nearly as the manager can measure the public taste and standards. Improvement has to come through the improve- ment of taste and the elevation of standards, a development not to be expected from the adaption of the films to meet the demands of what is good for children, nor yet from the frequent enjoyment of the picture by the children who are to supply the standard of taste for the next gen- eration of adult movie patrons. A fruitful field to be cultivated by Mother's clubs and other organiza- tions of parents is the exploitation of the idea of keeping the child away from the motion picture theaters ex- cept on those special occasions when the program is really such as to be beneficial to â-  them. Such a home policy would increase the interest of the children in the lessons taught in the school by means of the moving picture, would add to the effects of a careful survey of the child's read- ing, would do more to create good taste in the drama as well as in other forms of art and literature. It is the only remedy for the bad 'effects of the movies upon children of which the chairman of the censor- ship commission complains. And its application must first be made upon the parents4;:i^^%/",^;A* JQ' "Watch Sor« Throats" Warning is issued in Chicago $o ^atch sore throats because of diph- theria.

It is a pro- gram that the careful household will adopt and adopt at once. Th. Roll Call Monday the Red Cross Roll Call began on the north shore. At the time of the Roll Call during the period of the war the north shore gave something over fifteen thousand names to the membership list of the Red Cross. There is lacking today (lie public sentiment that made en- rollment all but obligatory, but there is the same good argument for writ- ing one's name with the members of the Red Cross. This great organization of service ought not to be lost to the nation just because the emergency of the war is oyer. There. is an infinite variety of work ready for the hands of the Red Cross workers, a demand that can be counted upon to come out of the normal experiences of the people of the nation. The funds .to provide the relief workers*and the equipment and training of their task is a smalt part for the public to con- tribute. Your obligation to do your part is clear. Discharge it early and help to send the Roll Call off with a flourish. GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY Tha SaMrtaat ao* •••!
