Lost Canadian Film Archives: A Treasure Trove of Silent Morality Tales on Work and Life

The article discusses a collection of 15 silent films made by the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau and the Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau between 1918 and 1929. The films, now streaming on "The Moving Past" website, are morality tales that promote good work habits, cleanliness, and health. The films were made by the government to provide moral instruction to the public, and were later absorbed into the National Film Board.
