A defence of the historical film, which has been coming in for some. criticism recently, ia made by a correspondent of the Dally' Tolo- graph.

Making an historical film, ho writes; le rather like adaptinga famous book or play; it has tho same obvious advantages and the same formidable dificulties;

Hollywood, at the present mo ment, is in the throes of a Dickens cycle. Now each of these produc. tlons starts with the advantage that, in theory at least, the whole world knows the books.

What happorin? Well, in the first place everybody has his own idea about the characters. This the render clings to with an affec- tion worthy of better art.

It is the same with history. no longer Worse. Most people think it shamo not to have read "Oilver Twist"; but all ages wish It to be thought that they know their history,

Even where the criticism is his- torically sound, it often reveals a lack of understanding of, and sym- pathy for, the problems of the pro- ducer. He has not merely to make: hls charactera acceptable, overcom- Ing all sorts of preconceived ideas ns to how they looked and spoke and ate; he must also make them entertaining.

for teaching goography was ex-

plained at the annual conference of the Geographical Association, which was opened recently at the London School of Economics.

Mr. L. Brooks said that the idea originated with Lord Bandon, who thought the practice used by many teachers of following fixed shipping routes in their lessons could be im- proved on. His own children had adopted certain tramp ships, and had followed them on their trips through the world. Lord Sandon was interested in one of the largest firms of tramp shipowners, which allotted at first two of their ships for adoption, one by the Childeric Itoad Junior Boys' School, Dept- ford, and the other by the Millbank Senlor Boys' School, Westminster,

Each school had pletures of its ship in the classrooms and received latters from the captain and officers from all the ports visited during a voyage. When the ships returned to the London Docks the scholars were taken down to see them and were entertained to toa. They or were encouraged to ask the captain
