Empire Films The true Imperialism will -be fostered by the

fine collection of films with which the Empire Marketing Board is seeking to promote a fuller knowledge of the Dominions and Colonies that send -us .much. of our food and raw materials. One Dominion, for instance, has provided films illustrating life on the prairies, clearing the ground for wheat, fighting forest fires and so on. All these films are shown at the Imperial Institute, and schools can borrow them free on payment of the cost of carriage. As many hundreds of our schools now possess projectors, the Board's enterprise ought soon to make the oversea countries within the Commonwealth better known to our children and thus strengthen those bonds of sentiment and association which hold the Empire together. Every school master or mistress should hasten to acquire the film catalogue just published. * * *
