THiE PHOTOPLAY CHINAMAN During the past few months vari- ous groups of Chinese students throughout the 'United States have corresponded with Mr. Will H. Hays, p~resident of the Motion Picture Pro- a ducers and Distributors, Inc., calling his attention to the gross distortion of facts in the photoplay with regard to Chinese life and manners. The protest arose from the habitual mis- representation of the Chinese charac- ter as underhanded or a victom of dope. A number df arguments are used by the students in bearing out their point. They claim that being an in., strument of popular education, the motion picture should disseminate truthful information and avoid tin. wholesome misrepresentation. Just how far the artistic clims of the mov- ies exempt them from this contention is a matter 'of question. Neverthe-. less, it is true that on the whole the photoplay--Chinaman is a consi ant slander upon 'his race. It' io suggested that there are in-' numerable Chinese virtues wh~ch will have an edifying influence upon the American people and which }hou ldrte presented 'through the movie. Again: arises the question otf whotb~cr 1t1F screen is primarily anintrr so, many other raeces and tyl es ,Ire caricatured and misrerceea'[ lia a manner which also cine.-, o)("~a the truth.

It takes the sharpness of spe- cific high lights to bring home the momentousness of a question, to van- ish the, apathy and indifference of a sleeping nation. Men of public es- teen: are the barometers of a people; it is unfortunate that they are taken as criterians of conditions, for they are usually moral superiors. A consciousness of nuirpeoc in so. vial. betterment on the part of each member of the nation. 'a vanishing1 of indifference and collective apathy is the only remedy for the so-called post bellum degeneracy, the aftermat,,h of an abnormal, intense state of be- iang.' Transient pleasures and satis- factions must be sacrificed in the in- terests of a; glorious making-good. 1)0 YOU READ THE NEWS? When Thomas A. Edison was recent- ly interviewed on his 76th birthday. he= is reportedl to have said among other things that one particularly discour- aging fact about college men is that thecy do not readt the newspapers suf- ficiently. Mr. Edison is certainly not the first jerson to have commented upon the failure of students to read newspa- pers, and their tendency to read them: superficially when they readt them at all. When students are censured for carelessness in this regard, they gen.- orally explain that they have no time well for the proper c1Ii-ias to con- sider the matter.
