Probably two-tbirds of the six inil- lion bigh-scbool students in America wh'Jo attend the movies read books. as the result of seeing pbotoplays. ,Thiis estimate is based,.upon the findings -of an experimental study conducted under the auspices of the National Counicil of Teacbers of Englisb whicb are re- ported ini a book just published, PhrIl- p'lay' App'reciation in Amncrican HIg Schools, by Dr. William Lewin, of Newark, cbairman of the pbotoplay appreciation committee of tbe Na- tional Council of Teachers of English. wbicbi maintains headquarters at Chi- cago. Tbe 1211 pupils, distributed in 23 cities, representing ail sections of the country, wbo participated in this phase of the experiment narned a total of 168 different books, read as the re- suIt of seeing tbe photoplay versions. each child being allowed to name one title only. The books most frequently mentioned by these pupiis as baving been read before tbe expeniment as a result of seeing the film verýjions were. in order of frequency, Ci»war, rj.Tom Sawy3er.

Grand Hotel, Wings, Trader Hoin. Rider: of the Purpie Sage, A Fare- uell to Arrns, Tarzan, Back Street. Tihe Virginian, Dracula, Moby I)ick, and A rroz(sn ith. Purpose of Survey The purpose of the study conducted by the National Council of Teachers of. Englisb was to discover wbat con- tribution the scbools couid make towards a solution of tbe moving pic- ture probiem. Previous, investigations. sucb as the recent research flnainced hy the Payne Fund, bave served chiefly to define the prohlem rather tban to work out a practical solution. The re- suits of the National Counicil's experi- ment make it evident, according to Dr. Lewin, that the problern can be more effectively solved by the schools through mass education than by any formi of poiitical censorsbip or by tbe actîvities of organized reformers. The Council's experiment, says Dr. Lewin, shows that it is possible to raise toisiderably the standa'ds of cbild movie-goers by introducing as a regular part of tbe scbool's instructional pro- gram tbe discussion of pbotopiays in respect. to social, literary, and recrea- tional criteria. Experîment Successful Already the experiment conducted hy the the National Council of Teachers of Englisb is bearing fruit. As a result of -tbe. experiment the film producers have been flooded witb letters express- ing opinions of movies and asking, for screen versions of literary classics, and the pbotoplay studymovement is spread- ing in tbe city school systerns througbi- out tbe country.' The new syllabus in englisb recentiy published by tbe New York State Departinent of Educatioli recommends that current photoplays be discussed in ciass in the .saie manner as 'are novels, plays, and other forins of, iiterature. Perbaps, i. iost con- clusive proof of tbe success of tbe ex- periment is the attitude of the.HolIy- wood producers, many of wbom are now submitÇing synopses and scripts of pro- ppsed productions for cons ideration by tbe steering committee of tbe National Council of Teachers of English.
