'"That the cinematograph should be used by the State for educational purposes was suggeated by the Hon. J. . B. Gow (Opotiki) in the Xegislative Council this afternoon. "Here we have an instrument which might be used for the greatest good of the comity," he said. Despite the censorship - he believed there was a pernicious in9uenos connected with the-exhibition of certain moving pictures. "There' is a vulgarity and false view of life presented there which, in many cases, strikes at the foundations of;• our (social system. This must be most harmful to those young people ' whom 'we '' find flocking fin their thousands J into these institutions, he ' added. "Why should it not be possible for V Stew really interested in. the education oHls citizens to take hold of this inetroment and show pictures of such a character that a child would be Instructed 'as well as amused, and so that the influence brought: to bear ■on these young lives -would have an uplifting, instead of,, a degrading, tendency?"
