TEN CENTS A COPY

Motion Pictures
and Censorship
By Lewis W. Physioc
In defending

motion pictures

by scientific argument, it is necessary to keep parallel with history; for the history of science
is the history of man.
The study of the influence of
motion pictures
on morality
calls upon various branches of
science, viz., psychology, sociology, pathology, heredity; it carries us from the theory of categories to the modern study of
instincts; and all these' lead in
turn to the study of criminology, in which we analyze those
conditions which are the primary reason for all laws, moral.
civic and natural (or divine) by
which men are governed. In
the last analysis, the appeal is to
pathology, for underlying all
other influences that determine
an individual's classification in
society, his pathological condition is found as the decisive
factor,
