JAIRTY THOUSAND children play “hookey” daily from the echools of this city. Ten thousand are habitual truants classed as incorrigibles. Most of these youngsters roam about the streets seeking amusement. They are subject to all the evil } influences of idleness, bad company, cheap attractions and excitement. i Out of this nursery come rowdies, gangsters and gunmen. } What is their favorite diversion? Without a shadow of doubt “the movies.” These shows have been proven to be prime causes of truancy, end the number of children who beg, borrow or eteal their way into them is enormous. The lew which excludes persons under atxteen unaccompanied by parent or guardian is “just a law.” ‘The “movies” are the happy kindergartens of truant and unruly @Miren.

Drunkenness and gambling are made funny. A film called “The Country Schoolmaster,” in which the pupils defy and abuse the teacher, is a favorite with matinee child audiences. Having boon pat in good humor by this sort of thing, the children are ¢hown a guoceesion of stabbing and killing ecenes depicting the murder of Detective Petrosino by the Black Hand, or a lot of half-naked Indians eutting each other to pieces with knives, or panic-stricken crowds in a burning theatre licked by lurid flemes. Historic and classic @oenes are made duly “exciting” by the simple process of distorting them with violence and infusing them with cruelty and torture. And what are the results? The public is beginning to note them with alarm and indignation. Stirred by # moving picture of a bargiery, a sixteen-year-old boy in Jersey City persuaded his chum to help ‘him in a plan to chloroform and rob ‘his eunt. Both boys were arrested and confessed. The heralding of a moving-picture of “Sappho” has eo disgusted a Pennsylvania town that a committee has undertaken to see that it is effectually barred from the theatre. | In Philodelphia a clergyman devoted his sermon last Sunday to “The | Snare of the Moving Pictare,” declaring that “the moving picture theatre ‘has become a echool for criminals and degenerates, and the | pictures chown in them are incentives to crime. They lead to falee ‘ notions of life and teach defiance of law. They make heroes of men “~~ who outwit the lew and defy the authorities: Their constant por- trayal of murder cheapens life in the eyes of many children who are spectators.” .

Hardly a day goes by that sore Magistrate does not read a lesson to the car and street rowdies that infest the town. Do we need to license children’s theatres to give object lessons in cruelty and crime? Moving ‘pictures may perfectly well be “exciting” without being harmful. Municipal censorship should rule out films that are coaren and brntal. The evil suggestions from example and real life that aseail children of the etreets are already terrible enough.
