The movies are going to do more than any other agency to prevent the
greatest of all crimes, horrid war. Through motion pictures, all
nations, people, races and creeds, all speaking the same language,
of the movies, are being brought into concord, acquaintanceship and
understanding. And when they know and understand each other, they will
love and cease to hate each other and war shall be no more. =It is a
real League of Nations in binding them together through seeing that
they are all just the same as each other=--that there are no bad people
and no good people when properly understood, but there are bad things
and good things as they reflect through the bodies or behavior and
conduct of people, depending on causes, which as yet we know little
about, and that the great lesson of Life is to learn how to wisely
fight evil more and people less.
Mankind has conquered all the reptiles and the wild beasts that
threatened his mastery of this planet. Why? Because, primarily, he
could see them, because they were known to him. But he hasn’t conquered
all disease--that remains to threaten his dominion. Why? Because it
is mostly the unseen beasts--the bugs, parasites and germs just now
beginning to be seen. As with evil and disease, the movies will do more
than all else besides to make them real--to make them known.
IT IS THUS THE GREATEST EDUCATOR THE WORLD HAS EVER HAD--THE VISUAL
EDUCATOR.
And when all things are seen and known to man, he becomes forever the
undisputed sovereign of the world. Through visual education the average
child of twelve is in the future to know more in academic education
than the present college graduate. Largely through the movies, among
the future great inventors of the world, we shall behold children from
ten to twenty-one years of age.
