These are two extreme examples of the spread of the motion pic- tures. Of course any country in the world, and indeed almost any city in the world, making any pretentions to civilization, has its motion pic- ture theatres. In ways that we seldom, if ever, think of, pictures are doing good to humanity. Mr. Henry Ford pointed out one of these ways. A vital necessity for our country, he said, is to keep sufficient men back on our farms to produce the food necessary for our sustenance. In recent ye...ars there has been a decided drift away from the farms and into the towns and cities on the part of the young men who should be the next generation of food producers. Life on the farm was too dull, too monotonous; it presented no opportunity for entertainment or diversion. 18 Helping Our Food Supply Then came three elements which were of great value, Mr. Ford said, in checking this drift the cheap automobile, the good road over which it might travel from the farm to the nearest town, and the movie house in that town where the boys and girls could find an evening's entertain- ment.
