BETTER FILM TASTES.
AN EDUCATIVE MOVEMENT
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Friday. Aiming not so much to acliicve stricter censorship as to educate the general, public toward a better taste in motion pictures, a movement has been organised in Wellington to act along lines similar to those which have been engaging attention at Auckland for a year or more. A body to be known as the Wellington Film Council has been set up and a committee .appointed to frame a constitution .and suggest a policy. Members of the committee will meet for the first time next Wednesday. The first step was taken when Mr. W. A. Armour, acting on the request of the Auckland Film Committee, convened a meeting of secondary, technical and private school principals, and representatives of teachers' organisations to discuss the problem. It was then decided that a committee should be formed, consisting of representatives of teachers in various types of schools or belonging to educational organisations, to investigate the film in its relation to the young people. It was also agreed that other interested citizens should be invited to join the committee.
