HUGE SAVING SEEN IN SCHOOL MOVIES Universal Use for Pupils Would Cut Taxes Billion in Decade, Hays Says. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 13—Universal use of the motion picture as an aid in edu- cating children would save the Ameri- can taxpayers $1,000,000,000 in 10 years, Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors, pre- dicted Monday in his annual report. Mr. Hays assured more than 600,000 stockholders that motion pictures have “weathered the storm”,and are attract- ing greater audiences than ever before by increasing the standard and variety of entertainment. By increasing instructional efficiency and reducing the number of ‘“repeat- ing"” students, he visualized the time when motion pictures would be an in- valuable arm of the educator. “Allowing for the increase in popula- tion and considering the minimum fig- ures we have used in this estimate,” he Eaid, “it seems apparent that in the decade first following the universal use of motion pictures in American schools ghe direct uvm’ e in excess of ,000,000. paving to the city of St. Louls, with its 2,000 school children, would come to $230,000 & year.” The most significant fact in the de- velopment of the field in the riod he ranked as “the variety and h of entertainment appeal.” He mentioned “The Man Who Played God roken Lullaby,” “Arrowsmith” and “Emma” as films which were “the fruit of 10 years of developing public | taste” and aitributed these results to a policy of “improving the quality of sun- ply” and “improving the quality of de- | mand."
