Show "Movies" in Education. Prof. Giacomo Boni, noted Italian archeologist, has suggested to the government the use of moving pictures pic-tures to promote the study of history In the schools and among all classes of the people. He declared that moving pictures were better than books or lectures, and recalled that after the Roman peace the Emperor Augustus, wishing to induce the people to return to the land, called upon the poets to sing of .agriculture, and Virgil wrote the "Georgics." Moving pictures, according to Professor Pro-fessor Boni, must be employed in a similar manner to educate the people to a knowledge and appreciation of Italian history. |
