RIGID FILM CENSORSHIP.
During the course of an address, Mr T. R. Fleming (Chief Inspector of Schools in Otago), in referring to the kinema, said it was a thing which could be made of great educational value. But could it be said that tha kinema as we had it was of great value? True, the films were censored, and some of the pictures were good, but many of them tended to arouse excitement for the moment, without any consideration of the future, effects, especially on young children.
In his opinion the State would be-
quite justified in exercising. a more rigid censorship and in making something more than immorality the test of exclusion.
