SCHOOL CINEMAS
LONDON, 20th June. The influences of the cinema and wireless were alluded to in the Hoiisp of Commons on the estimates of the Education Department. Introducing the Estimates, the Parliamentary Secretary* Mr 11. Ramsbotham. said that text book's and blackboards seldom retained children’s interest after they had left school, but wireless and films held it continuously. In a recent East End competition children were asked to plan a model village. Only one included a church, two or three had gardons, but all had cinemas. One child had a cinema for every two houses. Over 3000 schools had wireless sets, but few had cinema projectors. He hoped that the education authorities would see if they could not equip more schools to show films.
