Cover  Scene 

This  official  U.  S.  Navy  photo,  re- 
leased by  the  Department  of  Defense, 
shows  Robert  Stroup  of  the  Vanguard 
staff  examining  the  surface  of  the  satel- 
lite for  flaws.  (Vanguard  I  was 
launched  last  year  on  March  17.)  The 
choice  of  this  cover  reflects  the  ever- 
increasing  concern  with  public  in- 
terest in  science  and  educational  prob- 
lems encountered  in  teaching  scientific 
subjects.  Also  please  note  the  article 
on  page  20  by  Henry  Chauncey,  de- 
scribing the  "Horizons  of  Science" 
series,  as  well  as  the  fact  that  several 
of  the  advertisements  in  this  issue  are 
featuring  science  materials.

HOW  DARK  SHOULD  AUDIO-VISUAL  ROOMS 


MSWER: 


There  is  no  choice  that  is  always  best.  The 
lloper  amount  of  liffht  depends  on  the  type  of  projector, 
lids  of  material  and  the  activity  of  the  student. 

[[.ly  a  Venetian  blind  specially  constructed  for  audio-visual 
Drposes  will  control  ambient  light  to  suit  all  projectors,  sub- 

;ts  and  student  activities.  That  is  why  the  Levolor  A.  V.

Teachers   learning   "how-to-do-it"   at   Iowa    Audio-Visual    Fair. 


Iowa  Audiovisual  Fair 

For  the  first  time  in  many  years,  the 
Audio-Visual  Education  Association  of 
Iowa  changed  the  entire  pattern  of  its 
program  before  tlie  Iowa  State  Educa- 
tion Association  Convention  in  Des 
Moines  on  Noseniber  7th.  In  the  past, 
the  program  had  consisted  of  speakers 
and  demonstrations,  but  the  1957  meet- 
ing was  so  large  that  the  audience 
could  not  view  the  demonstrations  be- 
ing given  on  the  stage. 

The  planning  committee  this  year 
changed  the  program  to  include  a 
"how-to-do-it"  talk  and  projected  ma- 
terials demonstration  by  Harvey  Frye, 
Supervisor,  Graphic  Arts  Department, 
.Audio-Visual  Center,  Indiana  Univer- 
sity, then  arranged  for  a  series  of  thirty 
(30)  demonstrations.  The  talk  was 
presented  in  a  large  meeting  room 
and  folding  doors  were  closed  to  two 
large  adjoining  rooms  where  the  dem- 
onstrations were  arranged  on  tables 
with  signs  designating  the  type  of 
demonstration  being  presented.  Im- 
mediately following  an  introductory 
talk  by  Harvey  Frye,  the  doors  to  the 
adjoining  ".Audio-Visual  Fair"  were 
opened  and  the  demonstrations  started. 
Demonstrations  in  the  "fair"  included 
such  things  as:  making  Polaroid  lan- 
tern slides,  slide  talks  on  magnetic 
tape,  making  transparencies  for  the 
overhead  projector,  lifting  pictures 
from     the    printed    page,    multi-color 


transparencies,  mounting  of  pictures, 
picture  transfer,  geographic  models, 
how  to  make  dioramas,  using  filmstrips 
in  World  History,  feltboard  materials, 
bulletin  boards,  photographic  tech- 
niques, arithmetic  aids,  and  many 
others. 

The  demonstrations  in  the  "fair" 
were  given  over  a  two  hour  period 
during  the  afternoon  program,  allow- 
ing everyone  in  attendance  to  view  the 
many  different  "how-to-do-it"  demon- 
strations. Over  1,000  teachers  and 
school  administrators  attended  the  pro- 
gram and  "fair"  and  went  away  with 
new  ideas  regarding  how  they  can  im- 
prove their  audio-visual  program. 

It  is  the  plan  of  the  .AVE.\I  to  ex- 
tend this  program  next  year  to  include 
a  morning  and  afternoon  program  to 
allow  more  teachers  and  administrators 
to  attend.  The  planning  committee 
also  learned  they  could  find  more 
teachers  willing  to  participate  than 
they  had  space  on  tables  for  the  "how- 
to-do-it"  demonstrations,  so  perhaps 
next  year  the  demonstrations  might  be 
expanded  to  50  or  more  with  addi- 
tional time  allowed  for  questions  and 
answers. 

The  .WEAI  would  highly  recom- 
mend this  type  of  a  program  for  teach- 
ers and  school  administrators  during  a 
state  teacher's  convention.  Large  groups 
can  be  accommodated  at  such  an 
".\udio-Visual    Fair"    and    the   demon- 


strations can  be  varied  to  interest 
teachers  at  different  grade  or  subject 
matter  levels.  .All  the  teachers  can  par- 
ticipate in  such  a  meeting  by  asking 
specific  questions  on  "how,"  "why, 
etc.,  of  other  teachers  who  are  teaching 
tlie  same  subject  or  grade.

Teachers  speak  enthusiastically  about  the  new 
tape  method  of  teaching  foreign  languages. 
And,  note  a  big  difference  in  achievement  — 
in  pronunciation  and  comprehension.  Results 
of  this  tape  teaching  system  indicate  a  signifi-

and  point  to  a  growing  acceptance. 

Ekotape  recorders  are  an  accepted  standard 
in  many  of  these  modern  language  training

Closed-Circuit  TV  Embraces 
Whole  Community 

An  experimental  network  of  closed- 
circuit  television  interconnects  a  hous- 
ing project,  a  public  school,  a  health 
center  and  a  social  center  in  New 
York's  Chelsea  district.  Live  programs 
originate  in  the  Lower  West  Side 
Health  Center,  in  the  Hudson  Guild 
Neighborhood  House,  and  in  Public 
School  33  —  and  are  distributed  to 
more  than  600  families  in  the  John 
Lovejoy  Elliott  apartments  as  well  as 
to  the  school's  39  classrooms  and  the 
principal's  office. 

General  Precision  Laboratories,  of 
Pleasantville,  N.  Y,,  have  provided 
ten  TV  cameras,  a  utility  vidicon  film 
chain  for  piping  motion  pictures 
throughout  the  circuit,  and  a  TV  pro- 
jector giving  the  school  auditorium  a 
10  foot  wide  picture.  One  classroom  is 
fitted  with  four  GLP  cameras  which 
can  be  operated  from  the  control  room 
in  the  basement  of  the  school.  The 
Settlement  House  has  a  similar  four- 
camera  setup  for  the  purpose  of  tele- 
vising community  events  such  as  par- 
ents   meetings.    The    master    antenna

School  Design  for  AV 

".  .  .  We  are  in  the  process  of  mak- 
ing plans  for  a  new  school  of  1000.  I 
am  trying  to  sell  the  idea  of  making 
each  classroom  suitable  for  A-V  mate- 
rials. Our  present  authorities  think 
one  or  two  audio-visual  rooms  are 
L'nough.  Have  you  some  book  or  mag- 
azine references  that  would  help  me? 
Would  you  be  kind  enough  to  write 
a  letter  to  me  giving  your  recommen- 
dations? Our  school  will  be  a  one-story 
rambler  type  and  our  architects  are 
planning  skylight  lighting  in  the  class- 
rooms plus  usual  windows."

".  .  .  in  replying,  I  am  responding 
not  only  as  Editor  .  .  .  but  from  my 
more  than  twenty-five  years  experience 
as  responsible  head  of  the  audiovisual 
program  in  the  Rochester,  New  York, 
public  schools. 

Let  me  tell  you  first  that  in  a  new 
high  school  we  are  building  in  Roches- 
ter, every  one  of  the  eighty-six  class- 
rooms is  being  equipped  with  darken- 
ing facilities  so  that  pictures  of  all 
kinds  may  be  projected.  I  am  enclos- 
ing a  copy  of  the  audiovisual  commit- 
tee report  that  justified  this  kind  of 
facility  for  this  up-to-date  school.  The 
most  telling  argument  in  favor  of 
equipping  each  room  was  economy. 
We  figured  it  this  way.  If  we  were  to 
have  separate  audiovisual  rooms,  we 
ivould  need  at  least  four.  With  con- 
struction, costs  being  what  they  are, 
it  would  cost  more  than  $160,000  to 
build  four  classrooms.  We  figured  that 
we  could  equip  all  rooms  for  audio- 
visual purposes  for  much  less  than 
fifty  thousand  dollars  and  thus  save  a 
considerable  amount  of  money  and  at 
the  same  time  provide  much  better 
facilities  for  instruction.  Our  Board 
of  Education  and  school  administra- 
tion saw  the  sense  in  taking  that 
course. 

I  have  touched  upon  this  subject  of 
equipping  classrooms  for  audiovisual 
purposes  in  several  editorials  in 
Educational  Screen  magazine.  If  you 
have  back  copies  available,  you  may 
wish  to  refer  to  the  editorials  in  the 
June  1958  issue,  and  in  the  April  1956, 
February  1955,  and  November  1954 
issues. 

If  you  xoant  your  new  school  to  be 
a  school  in  which  projected  pictures 
can    be    used  effectively    in    classroom 


instruction,  you  must  use  every  per- 
suasive power  you  have  to  prevent 
the  architects  from  daylighting  your 
classrooms  to  the  extent  that  audio- 
visual learning  cannot  take  place. 
That  ivould  be  an  educational  tragedy, 
and  already  too  many  schools  have 
been  built  that  are  extremely  limited 
in  their  effectiveness  because  of  the 
failure  of  architects  to  understand 
the  way  learning  takes  place."  —  Paul 
C.  Reed.

"For  the  past  year  or  so  I  have  been 
trying  to  get  along  without  a  subscrip- 
tion to  'The  Leading  AV  Magazine.' 
I  find  it  not  so  easy  as  I  had  antici- 
pated. Whenever  I  revise  my  classified 
list  of  articles  pertaining  to  the  use  of 
AV  aids  (twice  a  year),  I  must  go  to 
the  library.  I  have  nothing  against 
libraries  —  but  I  prefer  to  sit  at  my 
own  desk  and  read  my  own  magazines 
and  mark  them  up  or  cut  them  up,  or, 
at  least,  have  them  available  on  ray 
own  bookshelf. 

"Then,  when  the  September  issue 
came  out  with  FREE  PUBLICITY  an- 
nouncing my  little  manual  Audio-

least  I  can  do  to  show  my  apprecia- 
tion is  to  reinstate  my  subscription. 

"But  I  need  the  magazine  anyway. 
I  need  the  annual  Blue  Book  issue. 
Can  you  start  my  subscription  with 
the  September  issue?"

Restart 


Paul  C    Reed 


Thai's  a  forward  inoiion  if  we  ever  heard  of  one;  and  in  taking 
this  action  the  New  Yoik  State  Audiovisual  C^ouncil  may  have 
siaried  something  more  significant  tiian  tliey  kncjw.  It  will  be  a  wa) 
of  bringing  the  l)est  scluiol  planning  for  audicjvisual  use  striking!) 
to  the  attention  o\  both  architects  and  schcjol  superintendents.  Il 
could  result  in  far  more  serious  attention  being  given  to  the  audio 
visual  facilities  that  must  be  jjlanned  into  and  built  into  our  school 
buildings  if  they  are  to  serve  their  intended  purposes. 

We  don't  know  just  what  these  awards  will  locjk  like,  or  how  the) 
will  be  |jresented.  It  is  conceivable  that  the  citations  to  architect; 
wcjuld  be  made  at  their  o\s\\  state  meeting  where  it  would  counl 
most  with  other  ardiitects.  The  citations  to  school  superintendent.' 
Hkewise  could  be  made  at  their  meeting  where  the  attention  of  al 
coidd  be  directed  concretely  to  the  meaning  of  good  planning  foi 
good  instruction. 

The  more  you  think  about  it,  the  more  you  can  see.  You  car 
just  see  that  Distinguished  Design  platpie  on  display  in  the  lobby  ol 
the  new  school  building.  If  you  listen,  you  can  hear  the  sujjerin 
tendent  and  the  principal  proudly  explaining  to  their  visitors  whai 
it  means  to  their  instructional  program.  You  can  also  imagine  the 
architect  who  has  been  cited  for  such  distinction  modestly  calling 
it  to  the  attention  of  the  school  board  that  is  his  prospective 
next  client. 

In  our  own  imagination  we  can  see  this  idea  catching  on  in  othei 
states;  and  we  don't  think  the  NYSAVC  would  mind  at  all.  The 
idea  might  even  be  picked  up  and  developed  by  one  of  the  nationa 
audiovisual  organizations.  A  state  citation  woidd  inevitably  nomi 
nate  the  architect  and  superintendent  for  national  consideration 
and  the  best  plans  from  all  parts  of  the  coiuitry  would  be  brough 
together  for  citation  and  stinudation. 

We'll  try  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  NYS.AVC  Committee  as  i 
moves  forward  "to  consider  schools  recently  constructed  that  migh 
be  cited."  We'll  try  to  keep  you  informed  of  what  they  do  and  hov 
they  do  it.  In  any  event,  we  promise  we'll  do  our  best  to  bring  ti 
you  from  New  York  and  other  states  descriptions  and  pictures  o 
school  buildings  in  which  distinguished  design  for  audiovisual  ha 
been  achieved. 

In  the  meantime,  we  should  like  to  nominate  for  consideratioi 
by  the  NYSAVC  Committee  the  new  Penfield  High  .School  describe* 
on  pages  16-IS.  Here  school  administrators,  architects,  and  a) 
interested  citizen  committee  planned  cooperatively  for  good  us' 
of  audiovisual  materials.  Theirs  is  a  functional  plan  that  work: 
and  is  working  to  bring  about  greater  use  of  audiovisual  material 
and  better  instruction. 


Once  a  teacher  friend  of  mine,  "Sarge"  Smith,  was  serving  on 
committee  concerned  with  planning  audiovisual  facilities  for  clas' 
rooms.  All  of  a  sudden  he  lit  up  like  a  thousand  watt  TI2  projei 
tion  lamp  and  exclaimed,  "I  have  it!  What  we've  got  to  do  is  buil 
classrooms  in  which  learning  is  inescapable!"  Distinguished  desig 
in  school  planning  for  the  effective  utilization  of  autliovisual  mati 
rials  will  help  to  achieve  that  kind  of  Utopian  environment 
where  learning  is  inescapable.

will  it  need?  This  concern  with  value  over  the  long

AV  in  IRAK

Director,  Syracuse  University  Audio-Visual  Cent 


EDUCATIONAL  motion  pictures  were  totally 
unknown  in  Iran  until  just  eight  years  ago. 
Today,  these  specialized  films  penetrate  almost 
every  corner  of  the  country,  and  this  fall  Iran 
will  dedicate  a  $1,500,000  audiovisual  center  for 
the  continued  production  and  utilization  of  edu- 
cational films  and  other  audiovisual  aids. 

What  sensitized  a  country  almost  completely 
unaware  of  audiovisual  techniques  to  the  tre- 
mendous potential  of  educational  films  is  the 
story  of  eight  years  of  cooperative  effort  on  the 
part  of  the  U.  S.  Federal  government,  Syracuse 
University's  Film  Unit  and  the  government  of 
Iran. 

This  unique  overseas  venture  in  mass  educa- 
tion through  motion  pictures  began  in  1950, 
when  at  the  invitation  of  the  State  Department 
our  Audio-Visual  Center  set  up  its  first  overseas 
film  project.  Under  the  conditions  of  that  con- 
tract, administered  through  our  Research  Insti- 
tute, we  agreed  to  produce  informational  films 
in  Iran,  using  villages  as  settings,  villagers  as 
actors  and  colloquial  language  on  the  sound 
track. 

The  whole  project  was  based  on  the  conviction 
that  films  made  in  Iran's  own  back  yard  would 
succeed  in  communicating  with  audiences  better 
than  American-made  films,  which  with  all  the 
splendor  of  skyscraper  settings  and  mechanized 
farm  locales,  had  done  more  to  fascinate  and 
confuse  than  to  inform  unsophisticated  Iranian 
audiences. 

As  a  first  step  four  film  crews  were  formed,  two 
from  Syracuse  University  and  two  on  subcontract 
to  the  university  from  the  University  of  Minne- 
sota and  the  University  of  Southern  California. 
Each  crew  consisted  of  a  team  of  six  —  script 
writer,  director,  assistant  director,  cameraman, 
assistant  cameraman  and  technical  adviser. 

When  the  first  crews  left  in  the  spring  of  1951, 
it  marked  the  first  time  that  an  educational 
institution  had  ever  become  an  overseas  producer 
of  educational-informational  films  under  U.  S. 
government  auspices.  Later  the  university  sent 
film  crews  to  Turkey  and  Greece  for  similar  film 
production  work. 

Once  launched,  the  scope  of  the  project  rap- 
idly expanded,  and  in  three  years  over  100  16mm 
motion  pictures  were  finished.  Most  of  the  films 
produced  were  specifically  tailored  for  use  in 


the  Point  Four  program,  and  were  chiefly  con- 
cerned with  agriculture,  health,  education  and 
sanitation. 

Although  a  film  might  take  only  25  minutes 
to  show,  it  frequently  took  six  months  to  twelve 
months  to  produce.  While  all  the  shooting  was 
done  in  Iran,  mostly  in  villages  on  the  outskirts 
of  Tehran,  processing  of  films  was  done  in  the 
States  and  editing  and  finish-up  was  done  right 
on  the  Syracuse  University  campus  by  an  audio- 
visual production  staff  of  twelve.  Production 
manager  was  Eliot  Cooley,  assisted  by  production 
supervisor  Luella  Snyder.  The  stateside  staff  was 
also  responsible  for  servicing  contracts,  and 
shipping  supplies  and  equipment. 

In  order  to  use  the  Iranian  locale  to  the  best 
advantage  in  shooting,  the  film  crews  had  to 
be  mobile.  They  jogged  from  village  to  village 
in  trucks  equipped  with  two  motion  picture 
cameras,  portable  lighting  apparatus  and  an 
electric  generator. 

Rough  roads  made  traveling  difficult,  some- 
times even  hazardous.  There  were  other  ob- 
stacles, too.  Production  was  sometimes  slowed 
down  when  Iranians  didn't  understand  what  the 
crew  was  doing  or  why  they  insisted  that  actors 
repeat  a  scene  several  times  for  a  shooting.  This 
reserve  and  even  suspicion  was  not  unwarranted, 
since  many  of  these  villagers  had  had  absolutely 
no  contact  with  a  motion  picture  until  suddenly 
they  foimd  themselves  acting  on  one! 

Still  another  impediment  to  production  was 
the  language  handicap.  Wherever  the  film  crew 
went,  an  interpreter  had  to  go  along  to  give 
instructions  and  directions  to  Iranian  actors. 

As  the  number  of  film  productions  increased 
and  as  Iranians  saw  more  and  more  films,  their 
original  reluctance  not  only  vanished  but  was 
replaced  by  a  whole-hearted  enthusiasm  for  the 
project.  Sometimes,  though,  this  enthusiasm  was 
almost  explosive.  Once  during  the  showing  of 
"How  to  Bathe  a  Baby"  the  entire  audience 
disappeared.  All  the  mothers  had  rushed  home  to 
give  baby  a  bath  just  as  they  had  seen  it  demon- 
strated in  the  film. 

Often  an  entire  village  would  turn  out  when 
a  U.  S.  government  mobile  imit  or  a  technical 
assistance  specialist  arrived  with  films  showing 
how  to  care  for  cattle,  control  flies,  improve 
cotton  production,  store  food  and  use  irrigation

water. 

The  Iranian  government  soon  recognized  that 
the  motion  picture  was  the  best  single  commu- 
nications device  tor  a  country  where  illiteracy 
is  high  and  where  often  only  one  person  in  a 
village  can  read.  In  just  one  year  four  million 
Iranians  viewed  Syracuse  University  produced 
films.  By  the  lectme  method  a  technical  adviser 
might  have  reached  an  audience  of  some  400. 

The  tremendous  impact  tliese  films  were  hav- 
ing throughout  Iran,  coupled  with  Point  Four's 
ultimate  goal  of  training  counterparts  of  U.  S. 
specialists,  resulted  in  a  review  of  the  role  of 
our  oveiseas  film  crew.  Emanating  from  that 
review  was  the  conclusion  that  we  must  turn  our 
attention  from  producing  films  to  teaching  film 
production.  In  1953  we  started  the  first  overseas 
apprentice  training  program  in  motion  picture 
production,  which  was  supported  by  Point  Four 
and  the  Iranian  government  through  its  Ministry 
of  Fine  Arts. 

Response  to  the  program  was  overwhelming. 
We  had  agreed  to  train  CO  people  in  film  pro- 
duction, graphics  and  printing  trades.  We  were 
deluged  by  more  than  300  applications.    After

Iran's  new  audiovisual  center  in  Tehran.

Syracuse  Plan  to  ''Help  Off 


careful  screening,  75  applicants  were  admitted. 

The  one  year  of  training  integrated  basic 
education  in  audiovisual  techniques  and  theory 
taught  in  the  classroom  with  practical  applica- 
tion gained  through  on-the-job  assignments  with 
the  Syracuse  University  film  crew.  Those  60 
Iranians  who  satisfactorily  completed  the  pro- 
gram are  now  in  charge  of  producing  technical 
and  educational  films  and  film  strips. 

Success  of  this  apprentice  training  sparked  off 
a  second  audiovisual  program  in  Tehran  in  the 
summer  of  1954,  when  a  Syracuse  University 
staff  member  taught  a  course  in  the  production 
and  utilization  of  audiovisual  materials  at  the 
Fine  Arts  Ministry.  To  date,  some  6,000  teachers 
and  supervisors  have  been  reached  either  di- 
rectly or  indirectly  through  this  and  similar 
courses. 

Still  another  outgrowth  of  that  first  Iranian 
training  program  was  an  intensive  one  year 
audiovisual  luilization  program,  given  on  the 
Syracuse  University  campus  during  1955-56.  This 
pioneer  program,  offered  under  the  sponsorship 
of  the  International  Cooperation  Administra- 
tion, had  23  student  participants  from  14  coun- 
tries in  the  Middle  and  Far  East,  Africa  and 
South  America. 

Iranians  continued  to  build  competence  in  the 
areas  of  film  production  and  audiovisual  admin- 
istration. By  1957,  the  time  was  at  hand  for  a 
shifting  of  operational  responsibility   from   the 


U.  S.  government  to  the  government  of  Iran. 
As  the  final  stage  of  our  overseas  project,  we 
laimched  that  year  a  program  of  advisory  assist- 
ance to  the  Iranian  government  in  developing 
educational  motion  picture  production  and 
printing  arts. 

We  sent  to  Iran  a  staff  of  ten  audiovisual 
specialists  to  Serve  as  consultants  on  film  produc- 
tion, jjrinting  trades,  utilization  and  equipment 
maintenance.  This  brought  the  nimiber  of  Syra- 
cuse audiovisual  staff  members  who  had  at  some 
time  worked  on  the  Iranian  project  up  to  thirty. 

Our  specialists  served  as  advisers  on  the  con- 
struction of  the  idtra  modern  audiovisual  center 
in  Tehran.  The  three-story  grey  marble  build- 
ing houses  a  multilith  and  letterpress  |3rinting 
establishment,  a  library,  facilities  for  motion 
pictine  and  film  strip  production  and  photo- 
graphic work  as  well  as  offices  for  administrative 
personnel,  staff  writers  and  directors.  The  cen- 
ter's staff  of  forty,  now  the  leaders  of  audiovisual 
education  in  Iran,  were  all  trained  by  our  Over- 
seas Film  Crew. 

When  our  overseas  consultants  retinn  to  the 
U.  S.  next  June  they  will  be  able  to  take  pride 
in  the  fact  that  in  a  land  where  less  than  a 
decade  ago  there  was  no  knowledge  of  audio- 
visual materials,  there  stands  today  a  beautiful, 
fully  eqin'pped  audiovisual  center  to  serve  the 
needs  of  the  various  ministries  of  the  Iranian 
government.

"TPO  help  teachers  teach  and  chil- 
-l-  dren  learn."  These  words  from 
the  sound  track  of  the  motion  pic- 
ture, Pictures  Teach  at  Penfield, 
produced  by  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany in  collaboration  with  the 
Penfield  Central  Schools,  expresses 
the  thinking  of  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation and  the  professional  staff  of 
the  Penfield  schools  as  to  the  pm- 
poses  of  their  audiovisual  program. 
Penfield  is  one  of  several  rapidly 
growing  Rochester  suburbs,  with 
an  expanding  school  population  of 
approximately  three  thousand  stu- 
dents. It  contains  three  elementary 
schools,  a  junior  high  school  and  a 
new  senior  high  .school. 

Located  as  it  is  in  suburban 
Rochester,  New  York,  in  the  heart- 
land of  the  audiovisual  communi- 
cations   industry,    the    community 


naturally  has  considerable  audio- 
visual motivation. 

Faced  with  having  to  provide  a 
new  senior  high  school  for  occu- 
pancy in  the  fall  of  1958,  Mr.  Elmer 
Peck,  Supervising  Principal  of  the 
Penfield  Central  Schools,  recom- 
mended to  his  Board  of  Education 
in  1955  that  it  set  up  some  seven- 
teen sub-committees  to  a.ssist  in 
planning  the  new  high  school.  In 
this  way  Mr.  Peck  believed  that 
the  talents  and  experience  of  the 
whole  community  could  be  utilized 
and  at  the  same  time  community 
understanding  and  support  for  this 
large  financial  undertaking  would 
be  developed. 

The  specific  recommendations  of 
the  sub-committees  to  the  Board  of 
Education  were  resolved  by  a 
steering  committee  working  closely 


with  the  administration  and  the 
Board  of  Education.  With  this 
wealth  of  information  and  special 
talent,  the  architectural  firm  of 
C.  Storrs  Barrows  &:  Associates  of 
Rochester  conceived  the  design  for 
the  Penfield  Senior  High  School, 
which  incorporates  the  most  mod- 
ern concepts  of  present  day  sec- 
ondary education  and  yet  is  utili- 
tarian to  the  ultimate. 

With  this  background  as  preface, 
it  shoidd  be  observed  that  the  au- 
diovisual instructional  materials 
area  in  the  new  school  is  designed 
to  serve  not  only  its  own  needs,  but 
those  of  all  the  schools  of  the 
district. 

As  is  shown  in  the  architectural 
drawing  accompanying  this  article, 
the  audiovisual  area  comprises 
eight    rooms,    having    these    func-

tions. 

The  audiovisual  office  is  the  ad- 
ministrative center  for  audiovisual 
instructional  materials  for  the 
school  district.  It  is  here  that 
routine  detail  is  handled;  film 
bookings  for  example.  Here  also, 
professional  literature,  catalogs  of 
materials,  new  recordings  and  so 
on  are  displayed.  And  it  is  in  this 
office  that  teachers  confer  with  the 
audiovisual  coordinator  in  relation 
to  all  matters  concerning  procure- 
ment and  use. 

Leading  from  the  office  are  the 
following  rooms:  a  preview  and 
screening  room,  an  audio  control 
room,  an  audio  studio,  a  recordings 
storage  room,  and  two  rooms  serv- 
ing to  house  a  filmstrip  library  and 
for  the  production  of  materials. 
Between  the  library  and  the  audio- 


visual area  is  a  conference  room, 
which  is  used  also  for  individual 
listening  to  both  tape  and  disc 
recordings. 

The  preview  and  screening  room 
is  designed  to  accommodate  small 
groups  for  preview  and  workshop 
purjxjses.  Straight  down  Kleigl 
lighting  strips  fall  upon  folding 
lecture  chairs,  enabling  note-taking 
during  the  projection  of  pictures. 
Remote  control  of  apparatus  is 
provided  through  floor  conduits 
from  the  front  to  the  back  of  the 
room;  speaker  lines  run  from  the 
front  to  the  back  of  the  room  in 
comparable  floor  conduits. 

You  will  note  on  the  drawing 
that  separating  the  screening  and 
preview  room  from  the  audio 
studio  is  a  large  modern  folding 
door.   The   idea   here   is   to   adapt 


this  entire  area  to  a  production  set 
either  for  television  or  motion  pic- 
ture production.  The  audio  con- 
trol, located  adjacent  to  these 
rooms,  houses  the  public  address 
console  and  is  designed  with  a 
large  monitoring  window  so  that 
production  in  the  studio  areas  can 
be  directed. 

The  recordings  library  room 
needs  no  particular  discussion. 
Records  are  stored  in  vertical  shelv- 
ing and  arranged  on  the  shelves 
by  Dewey  number.  Recordings  are 
circulated  in  the  same  manner  as 
books  from  the  library. 

Providing  space  for  the  storage, 
distribution  and  production  of  ma- 
terials was  an  important  considera- 
tion in  planning  the  audiovisual 
offices.  Two  rooms  illustrated  in 
the  accompanying  drawing  and 
photographs  provide  for  this.  In 
this  area  filmstrips  are  stored  on 
shelving  designed  to  hold  several 
thousand  titles.  The  filmstrips  are 
arranged  on  the  shelves  by  Dewey 
number  and  may  be  quickly  identi- 
fied by  teachers  and  students  and 
previewed  at  preview  stations  pro- 
vided in  the  counter.  Drawers  and 
cupboards  serve  for  the  storage  of 
spare  lamps  and  other  appropriate 
materials. 

Production  of  materials  is  pro- 
vided for  in  these  rooms  with  cam- 
eras and  other  production  facili- 
ties. However,  it  is  important  to 
observe  here  that  darkroom  facili- 
ties are  incorporated  in  the  science 
area,  as  it  was  thought  that  photog- 
raphy was  a  proper  function  of 
science  teaching.  The  darkroom  is 
available  to  all  teachers  for  the 
production  of  materials. 

In  planning  for  the  most  effec- 
tive utilization  of  materials,  each 
classroom  and  laboratory  was 
equipped  with  its  own  wall 
screen,  and  all  classrooms  were 
equipped  with  audiovisual  Vene- 
tian blinds.  By  using  blinds,  provi- 
sion was  made  not  only  for  darken- 
ing but  also  for  light  control. 

During  the  construction  of  the 
new  high  school,  problems  devel- 
oped which  were  not  foreseen  in 
the  planning  stages.  For  example, 
in  many  modern  schools  wall  and 
ceiling  construction  is  such  that 
adequate  support  ordinarily  is  not 
provided  for  wall  and  ceiling  type 
screens.  Fortunately,  this  situation 
was  observed  in  time,  so  that  spe- 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  January,  1959

(iai  supports  could  be  installed  in 
tiie  (ciling;  to  give  the  necessary 
strength.  Here  too,  is  an  interest- 
ing installation  feature.  Screens 
were  mounted  eighteen  inches 
from  the  end  wall  at  the  front  of 
the  classroom,  enabling  the  teacher 
using  overhead  projection  to  pull 
the  screen  down  at  an  angle  to  a 
small  hook  fixed  in  the  chalk  trav, 
thus  correcting  keystoning. 

Another  construction  problem 
was  corridor  lighting  shining  into 
the  classrooms  through  door  and 
transom  windows.  Correction  of 
this  condition  is  under  study. 

In  conclusion,  these  factors  are  of 
paramount  importance  for  consid- 
eration in  planning  new  schools 
for  effective  audiovisual  utilization. 

1.  Room  Darkening,  regardless 
of  what  kind,  blinds,  drapes,  or 
what-have-yoii,  should  be  studied 
in  detail  in  order  that  windows  are 
of  such  a  kind  and  construction 
that  they  adapt  with  a  minimum  of 
re-engineering  to  the  installation  of 
blinds.  Ceilings  should  be  of  such 
a  construction  that  they  will  pro- 
vide support  for  draperies. 

2.  Corridor  Lightmg.  Manv 
schools  are  being  constructed  witli 
large  glass  areas  in  doors  and  tran- 
soms and  in  windows  over  lockers. 
This  practice  should  be  watched 
for  and  discoinaged. 

3.  Wall  and  Ceilijig  Screens. 
Modern  school  construction  is  of 
such  a  kind  that  adequate  support 
for  them  needs  to  be  incorporated 
in  the  planning  stages  of  a  build- 
ing program. 

As  all  audiovisual  people  know, 
there  are  countless  other  considera- 
tions in  providing  for  effective 
utilization  in  oiu'  schools.  The  ones 
mentioned  here  developed  through 
the  concern  of  the  people  of  Pen- 
field  in  their  efforts  to  provide  an 
audiovisual  center  that  woidd 
"help  teachers  teach  and  children 
learn."

"T  ALREADY  know  more  about 
L  audiovisual  aids  than  I  use," 
comments  a  teacher.  Most  teachers 
do  know  more  about  audiovisual 
resources  and  procedures  than  thev 
utilize  in  their  daily  work.  Is  this 
the  usual  gap  between  theory  and 
practice,  or  are  there  other  improv- 
able conditions  that  intervene? 
Four  major  obstacles  and  sugges- 
tions for  their  elimination  are 
^iven. 
Obstacle  No.  I:  Teacher  Attitudes. 

A.  A     teacher's     philosophy     or 
oncept  of  method  may  result  in  a 

brand  of  teaching  which  does  not 
:all  for  audiovisual  procedures.  A 
uperficial  concept  of  how  students 
learn  may  preclude  the  utilization 
li  sensory  experiences.  Audiovisual 
procedures  may  be  tacked  on  or 
used  to  satisfy  an  instructional 
heck  list  instead  of  being  an  in- 
tegral part  of  a  modern  teaching 
method.  The  problem  for  the 
teacher  is  not  "Why  don't  I  use 
more  audiovisual  procedures?"  but 
'Why  don't  I  want  or  need  to  use 
ludiovisual  procedures?" 

B.  A  negative  attitude  toward 
long-range  planning  results  in  op- 
portunistic teaching  which  makes 
it  impossible  for  the  teacher  to 
plan  and  develop  a  semester  audio- 
visual   schedule. 

C.  A  reluctance  to  evaluate  the 
effectiveness  of  audiovisual  pro- 
cedures may  result  in  the  repetition 
Df  ineffective  lessons  or  the  drop- 
ping of  sound  but  unproven  pro- 

edures. 

D.  A  failure  to  understand  the 
importance  of  timing  in  utilizing 
audiovisual  resources  may  negate 
their  effectiveness.  An  effective  re- 
source is  a  sharp,  specific,  and 
timely  instrument  which  depends 
on  the  teachable  moment.  Effective- 
ness may  depend  as  much  on  the 
psychological  impact  as  on  the 
logical  and  sequential  presentation. 
Judgment  and  insight  plus  sacri- 
fice in  effort  and  planning  are  nec- 

ssary  to  achieve  perfect  timing. 
Often  the  teacher  himself  is  the 
only  person  who  realizes  this  and 
he  may  find  himself  at  loggerheads 
with  co-workers,  clerks,  custodians, 
administrators,  and  audiovisual 
service  personnel. 

E.  A  feeling  tiiat  audiovisual  re- 
sources are  all  right  for  another 
grade  level  or  subject,  but  not  for 
me,  is  responsible  for  the  omission 
of  these  procedures  in  certain 
grades  or  subject  areas. 

v.  .An  imwillingness  to  engage 
in  cooperative  planning  and  devel- 
opment of  audiovisual  resources 
with  other  teachers  on  the  same 
grade  level  or  in  the  same  subject

OBST^LES 


in  the  use  of  audiovisuals

area  prevent.s  their  systematic  ac- 
quisition and  development. 

G.  A  tendency  of  teachers  to 
hold  back  or  short-cut  the  sensory 
experiences  of  students  interferes 
with  the  effectiveness  of  audio- 
visual procedures.  Even  after  a 
teacher  has  planned  and  secured 
them  there  is  a  tendency  for  him 
to  cut  back  on  their  utilization, 
justifying  this  appalling  act  of  hari- 
kari  on  the  grounds  that  "there 
wasn't  enough  time,"  or  "the  class 
got  restless." 

H.  A  failure  to  refine  and 
sharpen  audiovisual  tools  may 
blunt  their  effectiveness.  Smart 
framing,  clever  captions,  copious 
color,  neat  lettering,  challenging 
previews,  clever  packaging,  and 
sparkling  dialogues  will  vitalize  an 
otherwise  drab  or  out-of-date  re- 
source, and  insure  its  more  effective 
utilization.  Consumers  expect  this 
in  our  TV  age.  Yes,  this  is  teaching. 

I.  A  tendency  to  use  one  audio- 
visual resource  (a  slide  film)  by 
itself  instead  of  combining  several 
(a  slide  film  and  a  magnetic  re- 
cording)   limits    the    effectiveness. 

J.  An  "upside  down"  approach 
to  audiovisual  instruction  reduces 
the  effectiveness  of  many  teachers. 
Instead  of  starting  with  the  objec- 
tives and  developing  the  audiovis- 
ual resources  needed,  the  followers 
of  the  "upside  down"  approach 
start  with  their  own  narrow  supply 
of  resources  and,  in  true  Procrus- 
tean form,  bend  the  course  around 
them. 

Obstacle  No.  II:  The  Quality  and 
Variety    of    Experiences    Pro- 
vided in  the  Teacher's  Audio- 
visual Course. 
The  quality  and  variety  of  expe- 
riences    in     audiovisual     resources 
experienced  by  the  teacher  in  pro- 
fessional courses  are  another  factor 
which  affects  the  utilization  of  au- 
diovisual   procedures    in    teaching. 
Whether    achieved    as    a    separate 
course    or    integrated    with    other 
teaching    procedures,    the    teacher 


needs  to  have  a  personal  and  direct 
first-hand  experience  in  manipulat- 
ing and  operating  the  equipment. 

Obstacle  No.  Ill:  Administrative 
Provisions  for  Audiovisual 
Resources. 
The  utilization  of  audiovisual  re- 
sources may  be  bottle-necked  be- 
cause of  slag  in  the  administrative 
channels.  Increases  in  demand  be- 
cause of  staff  expansions  or  a  va- 
riety of  resources  has  placed  a  heavy 
burden  on  the  administrative  or- 
ganization. Previewing  of  materials 
by  teachers  is  in  many  places  only 
an  ideal.  A  notice  that  it  is  too 
early  to  book  certain  materials  may 
be  followed  in  a  few  days  with  the 
comment  "previously  booked."  Lit- 
tle or  no  provision  for  housing  or 
storing  materials  is  a  constant 
irritation,  particularly  when  a 
teacher  must  use  several  rooms. 
Coordination  is  needed  to  prevent 
teachers  from  ordering  the  same 
materials  at  the  same   time. 

Obstacle  No.  IV:  Emotional  Reac- 
tions of  Teachers  to  Audio- 
visual Equipment. 

Many  teachers  have  developed  an 
emotional  reaction  to  audiovisual 
equipment  as  a  result  of  traumatic 
experiences  suffered  while  using  the 
equipment  before  large  and  unruly 
classes.  Teachers  are  told  that  au- 
diovisual is  not  as  complicated  as  a 
sewing  machine.  However,  they  do 
not  sew  on  a  different  machine 
each  time,  nor  do  they  do  it  while 
attempting  a  dozen  other  things  at 
the  same  time.  With  some  excep- 
tions, few  teachers  have  the  oppor- 
tunity to  become  familiar  with  the 
equipment  before  they  actually  use 
it.  It  is  a  monster  which  may  turn 
on  them  at  any  minute,  usually 
when  it  hurts  most. 

Four  major  obstacles  faced  by 
teachers  in  utilizing  audiovisual 
resources  have  been  presented.  All 
may  be  overcome  and  eliminated 
through  the  combined  efforts  of 
classroom  teachers,  college  instruc- 
tors, and  school  administrators.

Dr.  Roman  Vishniac,  noted  photomicroscopist  (right),  with  Robert  M.  Young  of 
HORIZONS  OF  SCIENCE,  during  production  of  HORIZONS  OF  SCIENCE  film  on  the 
life  and  behavior  of  microscopic  one-celled  animals,  for  release  in   1959. 


SOME  eighteen  months  ago  a 
group  of  professional  motion 
picture  people  with  very  successful 
backgrounds  in  making  public  af- 
fairs films  got  together  to  plan  a 
new  series  of  films  for  schools. 
This  unusual  program,  "Horizons 
of  Science,"  is  going  into  national 
distribution  this  month  (January, 
1959),  and  will  be  available  to 
schools  throughout  the  country  as 
quickly  as  arrangements  can  be 
worked  out. 

"Horizons  of  Science"  is  a  con- 
siderable departure  in  concept  and 
content  from  any  previous  film 
series.  As  distinct  from  curricuhini 
films,  "Horizons  of  Science"  aims 
at  more  general  objectives  —  to  in- 
crease the  understanding  and 
awareness  of  science  and  scientists 
in  the  world  today  and  to  stimu- 
late interest  and  intellectual  curi- 
osity about  science  — both  among 
those  students  who  may  be  the 
scientists  and  technicians  of  the 
future;  and  those  who  will  be  to- 
morrow's businessmen,  artists, 
housewives,  industrial  employees, 
Congressmen  and  voters. 

The  "Horizons  of  Science"  films 
can  hardly  avoid  —  nor  do  they 
wish  to  avoid— doing  some  good 
teaching.   But   they  are  not   teach- 


ing films  as  such.  They  arc  reports 
from  the  world  of  science,  and  the 
men  and  women  of  science  —  direct 
to  the  students  in  the  schools. 

The  subject  of  each  film  is  one 
significant  activity,  project  or  re- 
search program  that  is  going  on  in 
science.  We  learn  about  it,  in  the 
first  person,  from  the  scientist  or 
scientists  directly  responsible  for 
it.  Ten  such  reports  a  year  at 
roughly  four-week  intervals,  will 
be  forthcoming  in  this  and  future 
years. 

As  a  new  departure,  the  pro- 
gram has  sought  new  means  of  dis- 
tribution through  the  assistance  of 
business,  industry  and  foundations 
who  are  purchasing  the  program 
for  presentation  free  of  cost  to 
school  systems. 

In  the  early  stages  of  this  series, 
its  Executive  Producer,  Alfred 
Butterfield,  came  to  us  at  Educa- 
tional Testing  Service  to  ask  our 
advice  on  evaluation  procedures. 
Here  at  ETS  we  have  long  been 
interested  in  films,  television  and 
other  audiovisual  media,  not  only 
because  of  the  opportunities  they 
offer  for  better  education  in  gen- 
eral, but  also  because  of  their 
many  unexplored  applications  in 
testing,   guidance   and   other   areas 


with   which   we   are   primarly   con- 
cerned. 

VVe  felt  that  the  "Horizons  of 
Science"  group  had  an  extremely 
stimulating  and  important  idea, 
and  were  fully  competent  to  bring 
it  to  life.  VVe  also  saw  an  oppor- 
iiuiity  to  learn  more  about  films 
ourselves  and  were  glad  to  offer 
what   assistance    we   could. 

The  first  step  was  to  help  set  uj) 
"Horizons  of  Science"  on  a  non- 
profit basis,  and  to  serve  as  ad- 
ministrators of  an  initial  grant 
made  by  the  National  Science 
Foundation.  ETS  is  also  collab- 
orating in  preparation  of  the 
Teacher's  Guides  and  other  study 
materials  to  accomjjany  the  films, 
and  has  worked  with  the  distin- 
guished Board  of  .\dvisers  of 
"Horizons  of  Science"  which  in- 
cludes the  following: 

Lincoln  Ba me tt— author  of  "The* 
Universe  and  Dr.  Einstein,"  "The| 
World   We   Live   In,"   etc. 

Robert  H.  Carleton  —  executive 
Secretary,  National  Science  Teach- 
ers  Association 

Donald  F.  f/ornig— Chairman, 
Departinent  of  Cliemistry,  Prince- 
ton University 

Neal  E.  Miller— ]-dmes  Rowland 
Angell  Professor  of  Psychology, 
Yale  Universty 

Kenneth  E.  Vorde'n berg— Super- 
visor  of  High  School  Science,  Cin- 
cinnati, Ohio

matics,   Princeton   University 

Jerrold  R.  Zacharias  —  Professor 
of  Physics,  Massachusetts  Institute 
of  Technology;  Chairman,  Physical 
Science   Study    Committee 

Perhaps  most  important,  a  con- 
tinuing program  for  the  evaluation 
of  the  films  has  been  set  up.  Three 
of  the  issues  planned  for  1959  have 
been  previewed  in  semi-final  form 
by  student  audiences,  totalling 
about  3,000,  in  ten  different  schools 
in  Cincinnati,  Milwaukee,  New 
York  City,  Princeton,  New  Jersey, 
Nyack,  New  York,  and  Weston, 
Connecticut.  So  far  as  we  know, 
no  comparable  film  program  has 
had  the  benefit  of  such  pre-release 
evaluation  procedures. 

The  three  issues  which  have 
been  previewed  are  as  follows: 
"The  Worlds  of  Dr.  Vishniac,"  a 
study  of  life  and  behavior  of  mi- 
croscopic one-celled  animals 
through  the  eyes  of  Roman  Vish- 
niac, the  great  photomicroscopist. 
"Visual  Perception,"  a  vivid  dem- 
onstration of  the  assumptions  we 
make  when  we  "see"  the  world 
around  us.  "Exploring  the  Edge  of

pace,"   a  report  on   the  develop- 
lent    of    the    plastic    balloon    sys- 
ems   which   have   carried    man    to 
he    threshold   of   space. 
Following  the  showings  of  these 

I  ins,  students  have  been  asked  to 

II  out  detailed  test-questionnaires 
esigned  to  reveal  a)  their  general 
eactions  to  the  film  as  a  whole, 
i)  their  grasp  of  the  ideas  in  the 
Im,  and  c)  the  parts  of  the  film 
hey  liked  best  —  and  least. 

The  percentage  of  students  in 
he  various  groups  who  "recom- 
letid  that  this  movie  be  shown  to 
indents  in  other  schools  like 
ours"  varied  from  92  to  100  per- 
ent  with  an  average  value  of  98 
lercent.  More  than  half  the  stu- 
knts  strongly  recommended  such 
liowings. 

.\bout  90  percent  of  the  students 
aid  they  would  like  to  see  the 
ame  movie  again  in  science  class 

0  that  they  could  discuss  it.  We 
egard  this  as  particularly  signifi- 
am  because  it  very  completely 
upports  our  opinion  that  the  best 
ise  of  the  program  is  a  first  show- 
ng  for  general  appreciation  to  the 
ntire  student  body  of  a  school, 
ollowed  by  second  and  third 
(reenings,  sooner  or  later  during 
he  school  year,  for  full  discussions 
)f  the  ideas  and  information  in 
he  films. 

.\s  a  severe  test  of  the  students" 
ittitudes  toward  the  film  they  had 
een,  they  wgre  asked:  "Would  you 
ibject  if  you  were  required  to  see 

similar  movie  next  month  out- 
ide  of  school  time?"  Less  than 
10  |)ercent  said  they  would  object 
md  less  than  5  percent  said  they 
vould  strongly  object. 

The  older  and  more  academic- 
illy  advanced  students  scored 
ligher  on  the  "content"  questions, 
il  (ourse,  than  their  juniors,  but 
n  general  all  the  young  people 
luestioned  seemed  to  retain  a  large 
iniount  of  knowledge.  This  has 
)ec'n  true  despite  a  conscious  re- 
usal  to  proscribe  or  censor  difficult 
oiuepts  or  difficult  vocabulary 
hen  either  seems  called  for  in 
he  films. 

In  general,  the  sequences  in  the 
ilnis  that  we  have  liked  least  our- 
ielves  have  been  liked  least  by  the 
est  audiences  —  and  vice  versa.  In- 
erestingly  enough,  this  seems  to 
lavc  little  to  do  with  the  intellec- 
ual  difficulty  or,  conversely,  the 
entertaiimient"  factors  in  a  given 
>cq  uence. 

In  some  schools,  in  order  to  gain 

1  sense  of  the  dynamics  involved 
in  moving  ideas  from  the  screen 
to    ihe    student's    mind,    detailed

classroom'  discussions  of  the  film 
topics  were  led  by  the  teachers  and 
were  recorded  on  tape.  These  dis- 
cussions have  afforded  valuable 
and  at  times  startling  insights.  In 
one  of  the  films  it  was  anticipated 
that  young  students  would  have 
some  difficulty  in  understanding 
the  scientist  because  of  his  heavy 
Euro]jean  accent,  and  it  was  as- 
sumed that  in  the  final  edition  of 
the  film  some  provision  would 
have  to  be  made  for  this  tlifficulty. 
Classroom  discussions  revealed, 
however,  that  for  the  students  the 


accent  became  "easier  to  under- 
stand after  you  listen  awhile,"  and 
that  to  them  it  was  "important  to 
hear  the  scientist's  own  words." 

Though  some  of  us  had  doubts 
about  the  extensive  use  of  this  nar- 
ration, feeling  that  young  audi- 
ences might  squirm,  whisper,  or 
even  laugh,  we  have  yet  to  find 
any  indication  of  anything  other 
than  serious  attention.  One  "Hori- 
zons of  Science"  staff  member  has 
been  led  to  the  (untested)  conclu- 
sion that  "children  are  smarter 
than   people!"

AT  a  lime  when  schools  are  ex- 
panding their  audiovisual  pro- 
grams, it  is  well  to  take  a  long, 
hard  look  at  maintenance  practices 
for  costly  equipment.  The  next  five 
years  will  see  tremendous  growth 
ol  investment  in  equipment  de- 
signed to  bring  sight  and  sound 
into  the  classroom;  the  annual  out- 
put of  motion  pictures  and  other 
audiovisual  presentations  for  school 
use  will  undoubtedly  keep  pace. 
Part  of  this  predicted  growth  is 
due  to  the  enactment  by  the  Fed- 
eral Government  of  Public  Law 
85-864,  "The  National  Defense 
Education  Act  of  1958,"  which  spe- 
cifically provides  funds  for  the 
purchase  of  audiovisual  equipment 
and  improvement  of  such  facilities 
in  .schools. 


Why?  .Someone,  somewhere  along 
the  line  has  failed  his  responsibil- 
ity—to the  teacher,  students  and 
community.  The  magic  moment  is 
gone,  never  to  be  recaptured.  To 
say  that  "all  machines  break  down 
at  the  least  expected  time"  is  not 
enough.  It  is  cjuite  impossible  to 
explain  that  the  projector  lamp 
has  burned  out;  that  all  projector 
lamps  burn  out  sooner  or  later, 
and  "we  were  only  trying  to  save 
money  by  using  this  one  past  its 
normal  life." 

The  school  that  has  invested 
hard-to-come-by  taxpayer  dollars 
in  audiovisual  equipment  owes  it 
to  itself—  and  to  its  students  and 
supporters  —  to  inaugurate  a  pro- 
gram of  preventive  maintenance. 
To  fail  to  do  so  is  to  court  disaster. 


ilirectly  responsible  for  equipme

tenance  programs: 

1.  Buy  equipment  that  is  capaV 
of   giving    toj)    performance.    It

to  moving   parts.   Quite  often   t

equipment  in  the  long  run. 

2.  Install  equipment  propei

AUTHORS  NOTE:   No 

attempt  has  been  made 
here  to  describe  in  detail 
the  various  types  of  audi- 
ovisual   equipment    used 


in  schools,  and  it  is 
intended  to  imply  < 
any  particular  ty|ie 
quires  more  than  o

equipment. 


One  of  the  costliest  —  and  most 
embarrassing  —  phases  of  any 
school  audiovisual  program  is  the 
failure  of  equipment  to  behave  as 
the  manufacturer  intended.  This 
aspect  accounts  for  countless  "em- 
barrassing moments"  when  classes 
are  assembled  and  keyed  up  to  see 
a  motion  picture  or  sound  slide 
film  which  illustrates  a  point  in 
a  course  of  study.  Suddenly,  for  no 
apparent  reason,  the  room  goes 
dark,  the  screen  image  vanishes, 
and  a  buzz  of  conversation  sounds 
throughout  the  room. 


When  teachers  are  plagued  by 
equipment  failure,  they  lose  their 
enthusiasm  for  use  of  valuable 
classroom  tools.  And  when  audio- 
visual programs  lag  through  lack 
of  enthusiasm  on  the  part  of  teach- 
ers, a  chain  reaction  sets  in  that  is 
damaging  to  the  entire  concept  of 
up-to-date  instruction  through  use 
of  the  graphic  illustration.

here  films  are  shown  in  a  per- 
anent  projection  room,  projec- 
rs  should  be  permanently 
ounted  in  a  separate  booth. 

3.  Buy  ecjuipment  for  a  specific 
irpose  and  limit  its  use  to  that 
irpose.  One  of  the  major  causes 

equipment  failure  is  the  use  of 
[uipment  in  a  manner  not  in- 
nded  by  the  manufacturer.  As  an 
Ijunct  to  this  suggestion,  buy 
tough  of  the  right  kind  of  equip- 
ent  to  carry  out  the  assignment. 
any  school  systems  find  it  ex- 
xlient  to  install  automatic  film 
spection  equipment,  for  exam- 
e,  where  central  storage  and  dis- 
ibution  of  prints  is  regular  pro- 
dure.  Thus  each  print  is  carefully 
eaned  and  inspected  before  being 
rculated  to  the  next  booking. 

4.  Place  a  competent  individual 
charge  of  maintaining  and  op- 

ating  all  equipment.  Obviously, 
.  a  large  school  system  it  is  highly 
rpractical  to  send  an  adult  op- 
ator  along  with  each  movie;  but 
udent  operators  should  be  in- 
nsely  trained  to  become  highly 
illed.  Conduct  a  thorough  course 
'  instruction  for  student  operators, 
iduding  plenty  of  practice  in  such 
mple  techniques  as  changing  pro- 
ctor lamps. 

5.  Put  maintenance  on  a  sched- 
le:  keep  records  of  operating  time 
ir  each  piece  of  equipment,  to- 
■ther  with  notations  when  it  is 
rviced  or  repaired.  Know  the 
robable  life  of  expendable  parts 
id  replace  them  before  they  fail. 

6.  Where  in  -  school  technical 
(aintenance  is  impractical,  con- 
act  with  an  outside  audiovisual 
rvice  organization  for  regular 
■rvice.  .Submit  each  piece  of  equip- 
lent  to  periodic  checkups  by  a 
chnically  qualified  shop,  even 
here  day-to-day  maintenance  is 
andled  internally. 

7.  Equip  the  school  with  ade- 
uate  maintenance  tools  and  test- 
ig  devices,  and  give  school  em- 
loyees  the  time  and  facilities  to 
o  the  job  properly. 

8.  Maintain  a  stock  of  expend- 
ble  replacement  parts  on  per- 
etual  inventory. 

9.  Engage  a  qualified  consultant 


to  rcvic\v  ihc  operation  of  the 
audiovisual  department  from  time 
to  time.  His  recommendations  for 
improvement  may  carry  more 
weight  than  those  of  salaried  per- 
sonnel! 

10.  Insist  on  high  standards  of 
performance  in  all  phases  of  audio- 
visual instruction.  Nothing  is  so 
damaging  to  the  audiovisual  pro- 
gram as  sub-standard  performance. 
Where  a  central  unit  makes  its  own 
audiovisual  tools,  ranging  from 
flannel  boards  to  complete  motion 
picture  films,  be  sure  the  product 
is  better  than  comparable  mate- 
rials purchased  ready  made.  The 
field  of  motion  picture  production 
is  a  separate  subject,  but  a  word  of 
caution  is  in  order  here.  Many 
schools  do  make  movies,  either  with 
student  aid  or  handled  entirely  by 
the  instructional  staff.  Poor  quality 
in  picture  or  sound,  inexpert  edit- 
ing and  other  common  faults  are 
doubly  apparent  in  the  "home- 
made" motion  picture.  Seek  the 
counsel  of  professional  film-makers 
in  one  or  several  phases  of  produc- 
tion, just  to  be  certain  the  result 
is  thoroughly  professional.  Such  ad- 
vice can  frequently  be  had  from 
"friends  of  the  school"  for  little  or 
no  fee:  whatever  the  cost,  it  is  a 
wise  investment. 

11.  Put  the  audiovisual  program 
on  a  business  basis  and  be  able  to 
justify  each  item  of  cost.  Alert  cit- 
izens are  taking  a  dim  view  these 
days  of  wasteful  practices,  and  the 
audiovisual  |)rogTam  is  frequently 
the  target  of  economy-minded 
budget  slashers.  For  the  audio- 
visual director,  a  course  in  account- 
ing may  be  the  salvation  of  his 
])rogram:  in  any  event,  he  must 
know  where  the  money  is  going, 
and  for  what  purpose.  Where  it 
can  be  shown  that  "do-it-yourself" 
practices  are  saving  substantial 
sums  of  money  for  the  school  sys- 
tem, there  is  little  doubt  of  the 
continuance  of  the  progfram. 

12.  Subscribe  to  magazines  and 
information  services  that  keep 
school  personnel  informed  about 
new  methods  and  equipment.  In 
addition  to  the  usual  technical 
journals  dealing  with  audiovisual 
practices,  such  periodicals  as  Pop- 
ular   Mechanics.    Popular    Science 


and  Mechanix  Illustrated  frequent- 
ly contain  ideas  for  the  do-it-your- 
self addict. 

13.  Recognize  the  fact  that  all 
machines  are  subject  to  breakdown 
at  times.  Be  patient  with  delays 
due  to  breakdowns,  but  learn  why 
failure  occurs,  and  take  corrective 
steps  against  recurrence. 

14.  Keep  the  shop  and  working 
areas  meticulously  clean.  Dirt  is 
probably  the  most  formidable 
enemy  of  precision  machines  and 
film.  Insist  on  neatness  in  all  em- 
ployees. Be  sure  they  wear  gloves 
when  handling  film  (other  than 
routine   threading   for   projection.) 

15.  Have  adequate  storage  facil- 
ities for  tools,  equipment  and  acces- 
sories, and  see  that  everything  is  in 
its  proper  place  when  not  actually 
in  use.  Study  the  procedures  for 
handling  prints  and  equipment  and 
see  that  efficient  use  is  made  of 
space,  and  that  inspection  and 
handling  tools  are  where  they  are 
most  easily  reached.  One  school 
makes  a  practice  of  keeping  repair 
tools  on  another  floor,  away  from 
the  audiovisual  department.  Re- 
sult? the  tools  are  almost  never 
returned  to  their  "proper"  place, 
and  since  there  is  no  real  place 
for  them  in  the  department  they 
lie  scattered  aroimd  on  desks  and 
tables  most  of  the  time.  Conven- 
ience is  often  the  key  to  efficiency 
of  operation;  audiovisual  people 
could  well  take  a  tip  from  the  as- 
sembly line  operations  of  industry, 
where  each  lost  motion  means 
added  production  cost. 

While  these  suggestions  are  in- 
tended primarily  for  the  central 
audiovisual  department  in  a  good- 
sized  school,  they  apply  nonethe- 
less to  the  single  school  which  may 
own  only  a  projector,  a  tape  re- 
corder and  assorted  flannel  boards. 
Bear  in  mind  that  one  projector 
lamp  can  burn  out  as  quickly  as 
forty;  if  a  replacement  is  not  on 
hand  immediately  —  and  someone 
who  knows  how  to  replace  it  —  fail- 
ure results.  Yet  too  often  equip- 
ment in  schools  is  neglected. 

Proper  maintenance  is  not  only 
the  keystone  of  instructional  effi- 
ciency; it  may  well  be  the  answer 
to  continued  success  and  expansion 
of  the  audiovisual  program.

San  Jose  Builds  a 


MICROPHONE  HOIST 


fey  Richard  B.   Lewis,  Head,   Division    of   Audio-Visual    Services,   and    Ray  A.   Litke,   Coordinator.  Audio-Visual 

Technical  Services,  San  Jose  State  College,  California 


A  HANGING  microphone  is  a 
desirable  feature  for  many 
school  or  college  auditoriums, 
theatres,  and  concert  halls.  How- 
ever, mechanisms  for  raising  and 
lowering  a  hanging  "mike"  are  not 
generally  available  at  a  reasonable 
cost.  At  San  Jose  .State  College, 
with  a  new  Concert  Hall  fully 
equipped  with  top  quality  record- 
ing facilities,  a  hoist  seemed  essen- 
tial, especially  since  the  open  plat- 
form stage  and  high  ceiling  with 
no  proscenium  complicated  any 
hanging    microphone    installation. 


In  the  attic  the  microphone  hoist  is  a 
simple,  trouble-free  unit.  The  B&H 
projector  motor  can  be  set  for  either 
16  or  24  frame  operation;  the  slower 
speed  draws  less  attention  to  microphone 
movement  in  the  auditorium. 


The  dust  tight  control  box  contains  wiring  blocks,  transformers,  relays,  and  duplicate 
control  switches  for  testing  and  adjustment.  Mercury  switches  and  a  geared  radio 
dial  make  a  reliable  limit  switch  for  both  up  and  down  operation. 


.\nd  we  wanted  to  avoid  the  us 
large  boom  stands  that  clutte 
performance  area. 

Less  than  fifty  dollars  gave 
college  a  microphone  hoist 
has  operated  for  four  years  witf 
a  service  call.  The  Audio-Vi 
Service  Center  staff  constructed 
installed  the  unit.  First,  a  wor) 
model  was  made  of  a  spool  ar 
1.5  volt  reversible  motor  to  di 
mine  basic  design.  From  then 
a  search  for  parts  and  some 
lively  easy  construction  broi 
the  project  to  completion  in  a 
days. 

The  microphone,  a   low  iiii 
ance   onnii-directional   dynami 
very  high   cpiality,   hangs  fron 
own   cable   directly   over   the 
ductor's   jjodium   position,   anc 
any   height    selected    to   meet 
formance  requirements.  The  < 
passes  through  a  small  hole  in 
ceiling,    just    above    the    hole, 
cable  runs  over  a  pulley  mad 
an  edge-grooved  disc  of  wood 
Masonite    sides    to    provide 
this  pulley  is  mounted  on  a 
bolt  through  a  wood  bracket; 
bearing    jjoint    is    lubricated 
]>araffin. 

From  the  pulley,  the  cable  p 
upward    to    a    double    drum 
structed  of  three  discs  of  plyi 
with  a  core  of  wood  slats  sa 
smooth;  the  core  is  about  one 
in  diameter  providing  a  satisfa 
radius    for    the    cable    wind, 
cable  to  the  microphone  is  or 
section  of  the  double  drum,  a 
passed  through  a  hole  to  the 
section    of    the    drum    when 
amount  of  cable  equal  to  the  n 
phone  drop  distance  is  woun 
the  core.  The  end  of  the  cabll 
minates  in  a  standard  microp 
plug  and  jack.  As  the  niicrof

1(1  the  rable  in  the  box  winds 
mo  the  drum. 

F  wo  suggestions  here  for  any- 
huilding  such  a  unit:  first,  the 
^cs  of  the  drum  are  much 
1  than  necessary,  and,  second, 
le  drum  shown  could  be  made  of 
.inch  h'ghter  material.  These  modi- 
rations  would  reduce  the  inertia 
1  the  drum  and  lighten  the  load 
n  the  motor. 

The  motor  is  a  war-surplus  Bell 
nd  Howell  projector  mechanism, 
ripped  of  all  parts  except  the  mo- 
3r  and  gearing.  Any  reversing  mo- 
)r  of  adequate  power  could  be 
sed.  A  gear  was  silver  soldered  on 

sprocket  wheel  shaft,  and  another 
ear  in  appropriate  ratio  was 
lountcd  on  the  shaft  attached  to 
:ie  drum.  Chain  appropriate  for 
he  sprockets  drives  the  drum. 

In  the  control  room  of  the  Con- 
ert  Hall  a  wall  panel  contains  a 
onlocking  spdt  switch,  a  spst 
witch,  and  a  jack.  The  spdt 
witch  controls  a  24-volt  relay 
'hich  starts  the  motor  for  either 
•p  or  down  movement  of  the  mi- 
jrophone.  The  jack  permits  plug- 
,  ,ing   in    a    remote    switch    on    an 


extension  cord  for  use  at  the  con- 
sole 6  feet  away.  The  spst  switch 
provides  off-on  control  for  a  relay 
provided  to  activate  a  power  sup- 
ply in  the  attic  for  certain  types  of 
microphones  when  required.  All 
power  switching,  therefore,  is  done 
by  relays  in  the  control  box  in  the 
attic  over  the  stage;  low-voltage 
wire,  multiple  conductor  and  rub- 
ber-covered, conducts  control  cur- 
rent to  the  relays  from  the  control 
room;  no  conduit  lor  this  circuit 
was  required.  If,  however,  conduit 
had  been  available,  a  120-volt 
switching  circuit  would  have  elim- 
inated the  relay  system  and  simpli- 
fied installation. 

The  relays  —  also  surplus  —  have 
120  volt  contacts  and  coils  operate 
on  21  volts  A.C.  These  are  wired 
appropriately  to  energize  the  re- 
\'ersing  and  off-on  switch  of  the 
projector  motor.  The  imit  is  fused. 
On  the  top  of  the  electrical  com- 
ponent box  control  switches  are 
du]jlicated  to  facilitate  servicing 
and  adjusting  the  unit. 

Especially  important  is  the  limit- 
switch  system.  A  surplus  geared  ra- 
dio dial   unit  was  attached   to   the 


shaft  of  the  drum;  to  it,  two  mer- 
cury switches,  such  as  are  used  in 
furnace  controls,  were  mounted  in 
fuse  clips  on  a  piece  of  brass  strap. 
,\s  the  gear  is  turned  by  the  drum, 
the  switches  are  tilted.  One  is  in 
the  forward  circuit,  one  in  the  re- 
verse. When  the  motor  runs  for- 
ward —  microphone  down  —  the 
forward  circuit  is  broken  when  the 
microphone  reaches  its  lowest  level; 
the  reverse  circuit  mercury  switch 
is  in  the  "on"  position  where  it 
remains  until  the  microphone  is 
raised  to  its  top  limit,  when  this 
switch  breaks  the  "up"  circuit 
Incidentally,  gear  drag  in  the 
mechanism  is  sufficient  to  eliminate 
need  for  a  brake  system,  and  since 
a  motor  line  filter  is  used  there  is 
no  pick-up  of  noise  from  the  motor, 
relays,  or  switches. 

So,  in  our  Concert  Hall  the  mi- 
crophone can  be  set  at  any  eleva- 
tion appropriate  for  each  ninnber 
in  a  program:  the  console  operator 
just  touches  the  switch.  Further, 
alter  performances,  the  microphone 
is  withdrawn  into  the  attic,  out  of 
sight,  and  in  a  relatively  clean 
storage  place,  a  round   tube.

The  Mad  Hatter  warns  Dr.  Linguistics  (Dr.  Frank  Baxter'   of  the  conspiracy. 


ON  MONDAY,  January  26,  at 
7:30  PM  (  EST),  television 
viewers  will  see  an  ingenious  plot 
to  murder  the  alphabet  —  and  in- 
deed all  language.  "The  Alphabet 
Conspiracy,"  produced  in  color  and 
featuring  live  actors,  animation, 
and  filmed  scientific  sequences,  is 
the  latest  in  the  Bell  System  Science 
Series  of  programs.  In  it,  the  con- 
spirators (Judy,  a  grammar-hating 
school  girl,  the  Mad  Hatter,  who's 
against  language  on  general  prin- 
ciples, and  the  Jabberwock,  who 
speaks  a  language  all  his  own)  are 
dissuaded  by  Dr.  Linguistics,  who 
leads  them  on  a  tour  through  the 
science  of  language. 

The  role  of  Dr.  Linguistics  in 
"The  Al])habet  Conspiracy"  is 
played  by  Dr.  Frank  Baxter,  and 
Hans  Conried  plays  the  Mad  Hat- 
ter. Judy  is  young  Cheryl  Callaway, 
and  the  Jabberwock  is  Dolores 
Starr.  Robert  Sinclair  directed  the 
program  from  a  scrijit  by  Leo 
Salkin  and  Richard  Hobsoii.  Owen 
Crump  was  the  producer. 

Dr.  Linguistics  starts  his  case  for 
language  by  pointing  out  to  the 
three  conspirators  that  the  alpha- 
bet is  only  a  minor  target  for  them, 
because  languages  can  and  do  live 
■without  alphabets. 

From  then  until  he  clinches  his 
case  by  showing  them  the  simul- 
taneous translations  at  the  United 
Nations,  he  astounds  them  with 
fact  after  fact  about  language  that 
thev  never  considered: 


—  Language  is  tlie  spoken  rather 
than  the  written  word,  and  man 
has  been  talking  for  at  least  70 
times  as  many  years  as  he  has  been 
writing. 

—  Babies  throughout  the  world 
all  have  a  common  language,  and 
it  is  only  by  imitating  their  elders 
that  they  begin  to  speak  separate 
languages. 

—  A  talking  machine  that  ac- 
tually produced  (not  reproduced) 
human  speech  sounds  was  invented 
in   1780. 

—  In  the  Canary  Islands  people 
talk  to  each  other  across  long  dis- 
tances by  using  a  whistling  lan- 
guage. 

—  A  chimpanzee  has  been  taught 
to  speak  English  words. 

—  Dialect  geographers  of  the 
United  States  can  locate  a  person's 
home  by  listening  to  only  30  words 
of  his  speech. 

—  Modern  machines  have  been 
invented  which  actually  are  worked 
selectively  by  the  voice,  as  the  auto- 
matic digit  recognizer  that  identi- 
fies spoken  numbers  and  the  voice 
typewriter  that  can  type  out  some 
words  spoken  to  it. 

By  the  time  Dr.  Linguistics  has 
finished  with  the  conspirators,  they 
not  only  give  up  their  plot  but 
even  are  amazed  that  they  ever 
considered  it  in  the  *irst  place.  For 
language,  as  is  pointed  out  at  the 
end  of  the  program,  expresses  "the 
needs,  affections,  joys,  hopes,  trag- 
edy,  the   affirmation   of   faith,   the 


very  spirit  of  man's  deepest  nature." 
Dr.  W.  Freeman  Twaddell,  pro- 
fessor of  linguistics  at  Brown  Uni- 
versity, served  as  principal  advisor 
on  the  production  of  "The  Alpha- 
bet Conspiracy. "  Ralph  Potter,  re- 
tired director  of  transmission  re- 
search of  Bell  Laboratories  was  as- 
sociate advisor,  and  Dr.  Harry 
Hoijer,  professor  of  anthropology 
at  UCLA,  was  consultant. 

The  Bell  System  created  this 
series  of  programs  to  combat  the 
widely  found  public  apathy  toward

scientists  to  the  American  people 
through  television  and  film  show-

Science  Series  progiam  to  a  large 
television  audience  occurred  in  Oc-

have  been  produced,  shown  on  tele- 
vision, and  made  available  in  16mm 
film:  "Our  Mr.  Sun,"  "Hemo  the 
Magnificent,"  "The  Strange  Case  ol 
the  Closmic  Rays,"  "The  Unchained 


Goddess"  and  "Gateways  to  the 
Mind."  The  first  four  were  pro- 
duced by  Frank  Capra;  the  follow- 
ing four  are  being  produced  by 
Warner  Bros. 

More  than  125  million  viewers 
were  reached  by  the  four  original 
telecasts,  and  two  repeat  telecasts 
were  viewed  by  42  million  people, 
85  percent  for  the  first  time. 
Schools,  also,  have  made  enthusias-

CLOPAEDIA 


IN    AUDIO-VISUAL    MATERIALS    FOR 

SPACE  AGE   EDUCATION 


ror  more  than  30  years  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  has  had  but  one 
goal  — to  produce  the  finest  audio-visual  materials;  to  make  them  available 
in  the  majority  of  our  classrooms;  to  provide  films  and  filmstrips  that  are 
easily  accessible  to  all  teachers. 

You  within  the  field  of  education  have  been  more  than  loyal  allies  through 
the  years  in  helping  us  build  the  existing  great  E  B  Film  audio-visual  library 
which  is  unquestionably  considered  to  be  the  standard  for  such  materials 
throughout  the  world.  No  further  impetus  than  the  constant  encourage- 
ment and  leadership  of  America's  educators  has  been  needed  to  bring  E  B 
Films  to  the  present  point  of  readiness. 

Today  E  B  Films  — with  but  a  portion  of  its  many  resources  — can  offer  more 
than  350  films,  several  complete  courses  on  film  and  many  filmstrips  in  the 
specific  areas  recently  highlighted  as  most  vital  to  our  security  under  the 
new  National  Defense  Education  Act. 

A  special  catalog  of  all  EBF  films  and  filmstrips  on  science  and  other  areas 
covered  by  the  various  sections  of  the  NDE  Act  has  been  prepared  for  your 
convenience  and  is  available  upon  request. 

The  tools  to  do  the  job  are  at  hand.  You  demanded  them  long  ago  — E  B 
Films  delivered  and  will  continue  to  do  so.  Fortunately,  however,  the  NDE 
Act  at  last  provides  an  economic  climate  under  ^vhich  America's  teachers 
can  secure  audio-visual  and  other  teaching  tools  even  beyond  the  challenge 
of  today's  crisis  in  "Space  Age"  education.  It  rests  with  every  individual 
and  segment  within  the  structure  of  American  education  to  make  the 
most  of  our  new  opportunity.

WHEN  the  first  commercial  use

there  was  a  provision  for  the  regis- 
tration of  copyright  claims  for  pho- 
tographs. A  number  of  pioneer 
motion  picture  producers  —  Edison, 
Biograph,  Vitagraph,  Selig  and  oth- 
ers—therefore protected  their  works 


by  making  paper  contact  prints 
from  their  35mm  negatives  and 
depositing  these  prints  in  the  Copy- 
right Office  in  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress, with  applications  for  regis- 
tration of  their  claims  for  copyright 
protection.  This  practice  was  fol- 
lowed until  1912,  when  the  copy- 
right law  was  amended  to  provide 
lor  the  registration  of  claims  for 
motion  pictures  as  such. 

For  as  many  as  64  years  these  pa- 
per prints  have  been  stored  in  the 
Library.  The  original  films  them- 
selves were  on  nitrate  stock  and 
most  of  them  have  disintegrated  or 
been  lost,  burned  or  otherwise  de- 
stroyed, so  these  paper  prints  are 
in  many  cases  unique  copies  of  the 
originals. 

The  Library  of  Congress  has 
long  been  aware  of  the  importance 
of  these  motion  pictures,  both  from 
an  historic  standpoint  and  as  cul- 
tural documents  concerned  with  the 
social  history  of  the  nation.  As 
long  as  twelve  years  ago,  experi- 
ments were  under  way  to  determine 
practical  means  of  reconverting  the 
paper  prints  to  new  16mm  nega- 
tives, for  under  the  copyright  laws, 
upon  expiration  of  the  copyrights, 
tfie  particular  works  involved  fall 
into  public  domain  and  are  avail- 
able for  anyone  to  use.  These  ex- 
periments proved  successful  in 
1953.  Under  the  sponsorship  of  the 
Academy  of  Motion  Picture  Arts 
and  Sciences  16mm  negatives  were 
produced  which  the  Library  of 
Congress  felt  to  be  of  good  quality, 
and  during  the  intervening  years 
about  half  the  3500  titles,  and 
about  one-third  of  the  footage  in 
the  paper  print  collection  have 
been  copied,  and  prints  are  in  the 
Academy  in  Hollywood  and  in  the 
Library  in  Washington,  for  refer- 
ence screening  by  persons  in  serious 
research.  However,  these  16mm 
copies  may  not  be  duplicated  nor 
are  they  loaned  or  circulated!    But 


any  qualified  individual  or  organi- 
zation, upon  getting  tlie  approval 
of  the  Library  of  Congress,  and  pro- 
viding the  necessary  insurance  cov- 
erage, may  himself  attempt  to  copy 
these  35mm  paper  originals  for  his 
purpose. 

Several  years  ago  the  Blackhawk 
Film  Company,  working  with  the 
father  and  son  team  of  film  print- 
ers, David  H.  Bonine,  Sr.  and  Jr., 
succeeded  in  making  copies  from 
the  35mm  paper  prints.  They  ran 
into  considerable  difficulty,  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  old  prints  are  on 
varying  types  of  stock  and  many 
are  in  bad  condition.  But  this  wor- 
thy project  is  the  first  of  its  kind, 
along  with  CBS  television,  to  make 
available  8  and  16mm  prints  to  the 
public,  where  these  films  can  pro- 
vide invaluable  historical  documen- 
tation as  well  as  great  enjoyment. 

Blackhawk  Films,  1235  West  5th 
Street,  Davenport,  Iowa,  will  sup- 
ply these  films  on  loan  without 
charge  for  telecasting  in  any  factual 
program,  as  long  as  credit  is  given 
the  company  and  the  Library  of 
Congress.  Also,  16mm  prints  are 
available  on  request  for  previewing. 
At  present,  the  following  films  are 
available:  Famous  Trains  of  West- 
ern Railroads,  1897-1903  (Edison- 
Biograph);  Tlie  Georgetown  Loop 
(Biograph,  1903);  and  The  Hold- 
np  of  the  Rocky  Mountain  Express 
(Biograph,  1905). 

Among  the  films  currently  in 
preparation  are:  Teddy  Roosevelt 
and  the  Rough  Riders  (Edison-Bio- 
graph,  1898-1899);  The  Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad  in  the  1890's  (Edi- 
son); The  Building  of  the  Panama 
Canal  (Edison);  The  Klondike 
Gold  Rush  (Edison,  1897-1901); 
Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition,  St. 
Louis,  1904  (Edison);  Engine  999 
(Lubin,  1909);  The  Automobile 
Race  for  the  Vanderbilt  Cup  (Bio- 
graph, 1904);  New  York  City  in 
1903    (Edison).

HAVE  you  ever  wanted  to  repeat 
certain  science  experiments 
each  year?  Have  you  ever  had  to 
spend  a  great  amount  of  time 
searching  for  the  book  that  de- 
scribed the  experiment  you  wanted? 
Have  you  ever  wanted  a  handy 
reference  to  a  number  of  easy  and 
interesting  science  experiments  that 
you  know  your  students  will  be 
anxious  to  perform?  If  you  have 
ever  faced  these  problems  then  the 
following  may  be  of  some  assist- 
ance. 

Mahe  your  own  worksheets  of 
your  favorite  science  experiments! 
This  is  not  as  difficult  as  it  seems. 
If  these  steps  are  followed  it  will 
take  a  minimum  of  teacher  time. 

First  of  all  choose  the  exjjeri- 
ment.  Then  select  two  or  three 
good  students  to  assemble  the 
equipment  and  demonstrate  the  ex- 
periment. Photograph  the  equip- 
ment used  and  have  the  stuclents 
who  performed  the  experiment 
write  on  a  piece  of  paper  the  mate- 
rials needed,  the  procedure  or  steps 
and  the  learnings  involved  or  out- 
comes expected.  When  the  students 
have   completed    the   written    work 


paste  the  picture  on  the  paper  and 
file  the  paper  for  future  use.  Easy, 
isn't  it? 

The  learnings  involved  seem 
rather  obvious,  but  should  still  be 
emphasized.  In  almost  every  class- 
room there  are,  fortunately,  sev- 
eral students  with  great  ability. 
They  are  the  ones  who  complete 
their  work  before  the  others  and 
have  the  time  to  devote  to  extra 
learning  situations.  These  are  the 
students  who  should  be  chosen  to 
participate  in  this  activity.  Usually 
all  that  such  students  need  is  the 
text  book  describing  the  experi- 
ment and  a  deadline. 

Let  these  students  obtain  the  ma- 
terials and  equipment  needed  for 
the  experiment.  Tell  them  that  the 
experiment  is  theirs  to  perform  and 
explain  to  the  class.  When  all  is 
ready  you  the  teacher,  or  a  student, 
should  ]jhotograph  the  materials 
displayed.  It  may  also  be  necessary 
to  photograph  several  steps  in  the 
procedure,  but  that  depends  upon 
the  cxjjcriment.  If  only  one  photo- 
graj)h  is  needed  to  explain  the  ex- 
periment take  the  ]jicture  and  then 
liave   the   bright   students   perform 


EdScreen  G  AV  Guide  —  January,   1959 


the  experiment.  Upon  completion 
of  the  experiment  have  the  stu- 
dents begin  to  write  the  worksheet. 

The  worksheet  itself  could  easily 
be  written  on  a  piece  of  notebook 
paper.  Just  make  certain  that  the 
students  leave  room  on  the  sheet 
tor  the  pictine  to  be  raoimted.  The 
worksheet  should  contain  a  list  of 
the  materials  and  equipment 
needed  to  perform  the  experiment. 
It  should  also  contain  specific  di- 
rections to  be  followed  by  those 
who  will  perform  the  experiment 
in  the  future.  There  should  be 
mention  made  of  the  learnings  in- 
volved in  the  experiment  or  the 
concepts  to  be  obtained.  Finally 
the  picture  itself  should  be  pasted 
on,  because  a  picture,  properly 
done,  can  explain  so  much  more 
than  many  pages  of  text. 

It  is  suggested  that  students  do 
this  because  they  lan  learn  much 
from  participating  in  this  type  of 
activity.  Furthermore,  the  teacher 
is  free  to  work  with  the  other  stu- 
dents. 

This  has  been  iloiie  with  con- 
siderable success  in  other  school 
systems.  Why  don't  you  try  it?

ISRAEL-AN  ADVENTURE

minutes,  16mm,  sound,  color.  For  free

Description 

Here  is  a  film  that  is  neither  a  trav- 
elogue nor  a  political  record.  Instead, 
one  finds  a  cultural  character  sketch 
that  is  rich  in  historical  overtones. 
The  side-by-side  existence  of  the  an- 
cient and  the  modern  in  Israel  is  the 
theme  of  this  film.  It  is  even  carried 
over  into  the  musical  score  where  flute 
and  vibraharp  are  orchestrally  married 
by  composer-producer  Nathan  Kroll 
to  a  tune  of  ageless  folk  flavor. 

The  slow  pace  and  Arab  ways  of 
tlie  old  city  of  .Acre  are  contrasted 
with  the  hustle  of  the  modern  indus- 
trial city  of  Haifa  across  the  bay. 
Near  the  sea  of  Galilee,  girl  sailors  of 
the  Israeli  Navy  explore  the  catacombs 
of  Beyt  Shearim,  historical  seat  of  the 
Sanhedrin,  to  find  inscribed  there  the 
ancient  symbols  of  Judaism  and  pots- 
herds that  could  be  Phoenician,  Ca- 
naanite,  or  Byzantine.  The  archeolog- 
ists  at  the  new  Hebrew  University  in 
Jerusalem  help  piece  together  the  his- 
tory of  the  land  by  identifying  their 
finds  as  Grecian,  Roman,  and  Cretan. 

One  sees  religious  worship  in  sev- 
eral of  Jerusalem's  churches  —  Roman, 
Abyssinian,  Russian,  and  Greek.  Then 
there  are  the  scribes  and  proofreaders 
of  the  Torah,  who  were  the  first  to 
revere  Jerusalem  as  holy.  In  modern 
Tel-Aviv,  the  Inbal  Ballet  group  gives 
a  dance  interpretation  of  an  ancient 
Yemenite  wedding  ceremony.  The  con- 
struction of  a  power  plant  in  a  desert 
for  a  port  city  yet  to  be  built  signifies 
the  "practical  dream"  of  tomorrow's 
Israel. 

Appraisal 

In  the  high  school  curriculum  the 
film  will  find  its  most  obvious  correla- 
tion with  the  content  of  world  history 
courses.    Sunday    school    and    church 


groups  of  almost  every  denomination 
w^ill  find  that  the  film  gives  new  mean- 
ing to  whatever  concepts  they  presently 
hold  regarding  the  "Holy  Land."  Cer- 
tainly they  would  gain  in  understand- 
ing Israel's  modern  configuration. 
Israel  —  An  Adventure  is  much  more 
than  places  and  people,  facts  and  un- 
derstandings. It  is  an  aesthetic  expe- 
rience which  qualifies  it  very  highly 
for  use  on  high  school  convocation  and 
film  society  programs.  Alexander 
Hammid  and  Franta  G.  Herman,  who 
photographed,  directed  and  edited  the 
film,  are  able  to  sustain  moods  of 
mystery,  so  that  in  every  scene  the 
viewer  experiences  a  moment  of  dis- 
covery. A  subtle  element  of  suspense 
is  provided  by  Christopher  Plummer's 
expert  reading  of  Allan  Sloane's  re- 
strained and  poetic  commentary.  Film 
critics  will  be  charmed  by  the  visual 
poetry  of  the  fugitive  playground  ball 
that  rolls  and  bounces  down  the  in- 
habited slopes  of  Carmel  and  through 
the  city  of  Haifa  to  be  reclaimed  by  a 
new  group  of  children.  This  sequence 
will  remind  some  of  the  Red  Balloon, 
others  of  People  Along  the  Mississippi. 
For  the  sophisticated,  Israel  —  An  Ad- 
venture will  be  unforgettable.

GATEWAYS  TO  THE  MIND- 
THE  STORY  OF  THE  HUMAN  SENSES 

(Produced  for  Bell  System.)  60  min- 
utes, 16mm,  sound,  color,  1958.  Apply 
to  your  nearest  Bell  Telephone  System 
office  for  use.  Teacher's  guide  and 
student's  guide  are  available. 

Description 

This  film,  the  fifth  in  the  Bell  Sys- 
tem Science  series,  uses  animated  fig- 
ures, diagrammatical  drawings,  live 
action,  and  documented  film  footage 
to  dramatize  what  happens  when  we 
hear,  see,  smell,  taste  and  feel.  Dr. 
Frank  Baxter,  in  a  Hollywood  sound 
stage  .setting  acts  as  narrator  and  guide. 

Opening  scenes  depict  a  discussion 
between  .Xristotle  and  several  of  his 
students  concerning  the  five  human 
senses  but  Dr.  Baxter  corrects  them  by 
stating  that  one  has  many  more  than 
five  senses  which  work  together  rather 
than  independently.  The  film  con- 
tinues by  showing  Gene,  the  animator, 
as  he  describes  the  drawings  of  char- 
acters he  has  made  to  represent  five  of 
the  senses. 

Next,   Dr.   Baxter  explains  that   the 


senses  are  like  dispatchers  that  send 
information  through  the  network  of 
the  sensory  system.  Animated  drawings 
show  the  sense  of  touch  character  dis- 
patching a  message  and  the  outline  of 
man's  nervous  system  is  shown  in  a 
silhouette. 

The  film  goes  on  by  explaining  that 
nerve  fibers  carry  signals  by  electricity. 
Luigi  Galvani's  experiment  with  "ani- 
mal electricity"  is  briefly  explained, 
then  the  film  presents  an  actual  record- 
ing of  electrical  impulses  going  from 
a  living  eye  to  a  living  brain.  The 
impulses  jumping  from  cell  to  cell  are 
shown  by  animation. 

Continuing,  the  film  treats  the  prob- 
lem of  how  the  brain  transforms  the 
impulses  it  receives  into  action,  sensa- 
tion, and  thought.  An  animated  char- 
acter representing  the  thinking  part  of 
Joe's  brain  reacts  to  stimuli  flashed 
on  the  brain's  master  screen  and  flipsi 
switches  to  trigger  the  proper  physical 
responses. 

"The  film  returns  to  Dr.  Baxter  who 
points  out  that  stimulus  is  the  key 
word.  He  illustrates  this  by  projecting 
a  film  which  shows  animals  —  from 
the  one-celled  Protozoa  to  man  —  re- 
sponding to  stimuli.  He  tells  that  each 
living  thing  develops  senses  according 
to  its  needs,  with  man  alone  possessing 
a  brain  with  a  capacity  for  imagina- 
tion, thought,  speech,  reasoning,  plan- 
ning, and  storing  knowledge. 

The  next  sequence  describes  and 
shows  by  drawings  the  parts  of  the  ear 
and  traces  the  influence  of  the  sound- 
wave stimuli  from  the  outer  ear  to  the 
brain  pattern  formed.  Dr.  Baxter 
switches  on  tape  recordings  of  im- 
pulses from  the  optic  nerve,  taste  buds, 
and  others  and  calls  attention  to  the 
fact  that  they  are  all  the  same. 

Dr.  Baxter  continues  by  explaining 
that  taste  is  actually  four  senses:  it 
seems  like  more  because  one  smells 
things  as  they  are  tasted.  Also,  the 
thermal  senses  are  in  the  mouth. 

By  diagrammatical  drawings,  the 
lilni  then  shows  the  path  of  the  mole- 
cules which  are  smelled  to  the  cell 
filaments  on  the  olfactory  patch  whicli 
send  electrical  impulses  over  nerve 
fibers  to  the  brain. 

Next,  the  film  compares  the  parts 
of  the  eye  to  those  of  a  camera,  shows 
a  close-up  view  of  the  external  human 
eye  and  points  out  the  blind  spot  on 
the  retina.  In  a  diagrammatic  side 
view  of  the  human  eve,  the  film  shows 


32 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  January,   1959 


the  path  of  light  through  the  cornea, 
ilirough  the  lens,  and  finally  its  focus- 
ing on  the  retina.  After  the  fovea  is 
pointed  out.  the  functioning  of  the 
rods  and  cones  is  explained  as  they 
are  shown  in  a  drawing.  This  sequence 
concludes  by  showing  that  pigments 
can  be  extracted  from  the  retina  in  the 
laboratory. 

Next,  the  film  explains  that  the 
sense  of  touch  consists  of  at  least  four 
other  senses.  Animated  drawings  show 
that  when  the  tip  of  the  finger  touches 
a  hot  iron,  the  pain  endings,  touch, 
heat  and  cold,  and  pressure  all  send 
their  messages,  which  trigger  a  reflex 
action  as  well  as  continuing  to  the 
brain.  Dr.  Baxter  explains  that  the 
sensation  of  pain  is  important;  it  alerts 
a  person  when  injured  and  helps  to 
locate  the  point  of  injury. 

The  film  continues  using  animation 
to  show  the  functioning  of  the  semi- 
circular canals  in  the  inner  ear,  as  Dr. 
Baxter  tells  how  a  series  of  sensory 
responses  work  together  to  help  keep 
one's  sense  of  balance.  Also,  slow- 
motion  scenes  of  a  cat  dropped  from 
an  upside-down  position  show  how  it 
twists  itself  to  land  upright. 

The  setting  for  the  next  sequence  is 
"under  the  big  top,"  as  the  film  tells 
of  the  senses  used  by  the  various  circus 
performers  as  they  do  their  acts.  .Ani- 


mation shows  the  little  nian  at  the 
master  receiver  of  the  brain  as  he 
throws  the  switches  necessary  for  an 
aerialist  to  accomplish  the  proper 
physical  responses  while  swinging 
through  the  air  and  grasping  the  wait- 
ing hands  of  his  partner. 

The  film  now  begins  a  presentation 
of  evidence  to  substantiate  the  state- 
ment that  the  brain  interprets  visual 
images  through  past  experiences. 
Trapezoiilal  windows  that  are  revolv- 
ing appear  instead  to  be  moving  back 
and  forth  because  the  windows  are  not 
rectanglar  as  one  expects  them  to  be. 
A  distorted  room  looks  normal  making 
the  size  of  boy  and  man  in  the  room 
appear  abnormal.  The  distorted  room 
looks  normal  because  it  looks  like 
what  it  is  expected  to  be.  Professor 
Hadley  Cantril,  who  has  pioneered  in 
this  research  at  Princeton  University, 
explains  that  one  acts  in  terms  of  what 
one  has  learned  to  expect  from  past 
experiences. 

Next,  the  film  shows  Dr.  Baxter 
demonstrating  that  the  electroence- 
phalograph can  measure  electrical  im- 
pulses that  reach  the  human  brain. 
Then  the  film  duplicates  the  McGill 
experiment,  showing  that  people  who 
were  subjected  to  extreme  and  pro- 
longed monotony  by  cutting  off  their 
senses  from  all  stimuli  soon  developed 


hallucinations.  A  uniilar  result  may  be 
produced  by  the  monotony  of  such 
(asks  as  truck  driving  and  aircraft 
piloting.  Dr.  Baxter  also  mentions 
that  scientists  are  studying  such  ques- 
tions as  what  happens  to  men  in  the 
monotony  of  the  .Antarctic  "white-out" 
and  what  is  the  "rapture  of  the  deep." 

The  film  next  shows  that  man  has 
extended  his  senses  with  such  develop- 
ments as  the  field-ion  microscope,  satel- 
lites broadcasting  information,  batho- 
spheres,  and  stratosphere  balloons. 
Nevertheless,  regardless  of  how  much 
man  extends  his  senses,  he  must  still 
depend  on  the  ones  he  has  always  had. 

Finally,  the  film  shows  that  expe- 
riences brought  to  the  brain  through 
the  senses  are  recorded  there  for  a 
lifetime.  Dr.  Wilder  then  presents  his 
findings  when  he  stimulated  the  sur- 
face of  the  temporal  lobe  of  the  human 
brain  of  his  patients  with  an  electrode. 
Recordings  of  the  actual  words  of  the 
patients  are  heard  as  they  speak  of 
experiences  that  happened  in  the  dis- 
tant past.  The  film  concludes  with  Dr. 
Baxter  telling  that  scientists  are  be- 
ginning to  understand  the  senses  more 
and  more  and  to  realize  how  remark- 
able they  are.

OH  TROUBLE  TROUBLE  TRO 

UBLE  TROUBLE  TROUBLE 

(FIRST  INSTALLMENT) 

While  talking  to  a  film  producer,  have 
you  noticed  his  tear  filled  eye,  his  depres- 
sion, his  slight  facial  tic?  This  is  a  little 
understood  disorder  known  as  PCN,  or  Pro- 
duction Cost  Neurosis.  Think  back.  You 
were  probably  complaining  to  him  about 
your  own  problems,  perhaps  the  cost  of 
prints,  the  price  of  rentals.  This  you  must 
not  do.  It  brings  on  his  symptoms  imme- 
diately. 

The  malady ,  arises  from  the  producer's 
conviction  that  no  one  understands  his  cost 
problems.  So;  We  explain  costs.  You  de- 
velop sympathetic  understanding.  Neuroses 
disappear.    Simple? 

Before  exploring  classroom  films  proper, 
you  might  be  interested  in  knowing  that 
the  big,  razzle-dazzle  free  loan  industrial 
films  that  you  get  usually  cost  the  sponsor 
from  $30,000  to  $100,000.  No  PCN  there. 
True,  production  costs  are  high.  There  may 
be  three  to  five  more  crew  members  than 
listed  below.  Writing,  shooting,  editing  and 
client  relations  may  be  interminable.  How- 
ever, the  budget  is  raised  accordingly  and 
the  sponsor  more  or  less  gracefully  foots 
the  bill. 

Classroom  films  are  a  different  story. 
Most  of  them  probably  cost  the  producer 
from  $4,000  to  $10,000  to  make.  They  can 
cost  as  little  as  $2,000.  Few  exceed 
$20,000.    It  depends. 

Let's  conjure  up  a  rough  budget  (with  a 
warning  that  costs  vary  greatly  depending 
on  place  and  circumstances).  Let's  imagine 
a  fairly  complex  film:  16mm  color,  1 '/2 
reels,  four  speaking  parts,  five  days  shoot- 
ing in  studio  and  on  location.

uutstanding  precedent  set  by  the  other 
fihiis  in  the  Bell  System  Science  Series 
by  having  an  interesting  attention- 
holding  treatment,  accurate  content, 
clear  presentation,  coupled  witii  excel- 
lent color,  sound,  and  acting.  Dr. 
Frank  Baxter  again  excellently  per- 
forms his  role  as  narrator  and  guide. 
The  two  broad  purposes  of  the  film 
may  be  stated  as  follows:  (1)  to  pre- 
sent factual  information  concerning 
the  senses  resulting  in  a  more  under- 
standing and  deeper  appreciation  of 
the  senses  and  motivating  further 
study  concerning  them,  and  (2)  to 
create  a  feeling  of  respect  for  the  work 
of  the  scientist  and  consequently  serve 
to  attract  students  to  the  field  of  sci- 
ence. It  appears  that  the  film  does  an 
admirable  job  of  fulfilling  both  of 
these  purposes.  Even  though  many  of 
the  concepts  presented  are  difficult  to 
visualize,  the  film,  through  animated 
drawings  and  other  means,  does  a  very 
good  job  of  showing  such  ideas  as  "all 
knowledge  is  ultimately  dependent  on 
the  senses";  "there  are  many  more 
than  five  senses";  "the  senses  code 
information  electrically";  and  "what 
is  perceived  is  dependent  on  past  ex- 
periences." Also,  the  setting  of  the 
Hollywood  soundstage  adds  interest 
and  makes  logically  available  various 
types  of  equipment  and  materials 
which  are  used  to  clarify  certain  points 
in  the  film.  The  casual  approach,  ap- 
pealing visuals  and  personalities,  slow 
pacing,  and  interesting  content  make 
the  film  suited  to  a  general  television 
audience.  However,  evaluators  of  the 
film  agree  that  it  also  has  much  cur- 
riculum value.  In  classes,  such  as  high 
school  biology,  health,  and  general 
science,  the  film  would  be  useful  in 
presenting  certain  factual  information, 
promoting  discussion,  and  helping  to 
create  certain  attitudes.  In  addition  it 
would  have  some  use  in  college  and 
university  classes  of  biology,  health, 
and  psychology  and  in  the  elementary 
school  as  well.

PARAGUAY:  A  NEW  FRONTIER 

(Paul  Hoefler  Productions,  1122  Kline 
Street,  La  Jolla,  California)  17  min- 
utes, sound,  color,  1957.  §150. 

Description 

Narration,  musical  background,  and 
actual  photographic  views  of  life  in 
the  Chaco  district  of  Paraguay  show 
people  of  many  nationalities  helping 
to  bring  civilization  to  this  wild  coun- 
try —  one  of  the  world's  last  frontiers. 

.\  film  map  locates  the  small  South 
.Vmerican  country  of  Paraguay  while 
the  narrator  points  out  that  although 
.Asuncion,  the  capital  city,  was  settled 
less    than    fifty    years    after    Columbus 


discovered  .America,  this  region  hasi 
been  slow  to  develop  !)ecause  of  itsi 
isolated  position  —  its  only  outside  con- 
tact being  through  the  Rio  Paraguay. 
Business  and  commerce  center  around! 
the  waterfront.  On  the  Rio  Paraguay  r 
are  seen  small  boats  from  upstream 
docked  beside  large  steamers  from 
Buenos  .Aires  loading  and  unloading 
bales  of  cotton,  hides,  oil,  food,  ma- 
chinery, and  clothing.  Another  map 
depicts  a  detail  of  Paraguay,  showing 
how  the  river  divides  it  into  two  re- 
gions. The  western  region  called  Eli 
Chaco  is  the  subject  of  the  rest  of  the 
film. 

The  camera  pictures  El  Chaco  as  a 
strange  wild  land  populated  by  a  few 
scattered  Indian  tribes  and  pioneer  im- 
migrants. Saddle  horses  and  ox  carts 
creak  across  the  scrubby  terrain,  ford 
shallow  lagoons  in  the  swampy  areas, 
and  furnish  the  only  modes  of  trans- 
portation for  people  and  supplies. 
Comparisons  of  life  in  three  districts 
of  El  Chaco  reveal  striking  differences. 

In  the  north  men  are  cutting  down, 
quebracho  trees,  loading  the  logs  with 
the  help  of  oxen  onto  Hat  cars  where 
they  will  be  carried  on  a  narrow  gauge 
railway  to  a  sawmill  near  the  river, 
unloaded,  and  crushed  to  extract  the 
tannin. 

In  the  heart  of  the  territory  lies  the 
comminiity  of  Filadelfia,  settled  in  the 
1930's  by  a  group  of  Mennonites  from 
Germany  and  the  Russian  Ukraine 
who  were  seeking  religious  freedom. 
Given  land  by  the  Paraguayan  govern- 
ment, they  have  built  houses  and  de- 
veloped a  civilization  similar  to  that 
known  to  them  in  their  homeland.  .A 
view  of  the  main  street  shows  trucks, 
horses,  teams  and  wagons,  people,  and 
cows  all  sharing  the  thoroughfare.  In 
true  pioneer  fashion  the  settlement  is 
self-sustaining  as  illustrated  by  such 
scenes  as  a  cobbler  and  wagon-maker ' 
at  work,  women  doing  the  family  wash  > 
with  hand-powered  machines  or  on 
washboards,  and  men  hulling  peanuts 
in  hullcrs  made  entirely  of  timber 
Irom  nearby  forests.  A  glimpse  is  also 
caught  of  the  sawmill  where  the  lum- 
ber is  cut.  A  visit  to  an  experimental 
farm  shows  that  cabbage,  dates,  castor 
beans,  bananas,  papayas  and  grapes  as 
well  as  peanuts  will  grow  in  this  area. 

.Vn  airplane  landing  in  a  pasture 
reveals  a  kind  of  a  pioneer  to  be  an 
enterprising  American,  the  owner  of  a 
large  cattle  ranch  to  which  he  Hies 
olten  from  his  home  is  .Asuncion.  .Ac- 
tivities shown  of  the  ranch  include  the 
branding  of  the  calves  and  inspection 
of  the  herd.  .After  pointing  out  thai 
two  of  the  hazards  of  cattle-raising  are 
jaguars  and  cattle-rustlers,  the  film 
shows  steers  being  taken  to  market  at 
.Asuncion.  The  film  closes  with  a  view

Appraisal 

This  film  should  have  wide  audience 
ajjpeal  from  the  junior  high  school  to 
the  adult  level.  It  is  technically  good 
and  logically  organized.  Groups  study- 
ing the  problems  or  methods  of  push- 
ing back  frontiers  or  the  geograplu'cal 
cliaracteristics  and  economic  develo])- 
inein  of  Paraguay  should  find  it  help- 
ful. Emotion  is  heightened  through 
stirring  music  and  the  sound  effects 
of  the  cattle  lowing  as  they  leap  out 
of  the  barge  and  trot  up  the  river  bank 
at  Asuncion.  There  is  no  portrayal  of 
life  in  native  Guarani  villages:  rather, 
a  colorful  picture  of  a  not  generally 
known  way  of  life  in  Paraguay  and  the 
problems  of  developing  a  new  area  are 
presented.  Some  words  such  as  "Guar- 
ani," "guarana,"  "vaquero,"  and 
"quebracho,"  which  may  be  unfamiliar 
to  children  may  need  explanation. 
The  film  should  prove  interesting  by 
illustrating  the  fact  that  history  is  not 
(lead  but  is  repeating  itself  within  our 
own  lifetime.

THE  RETURN 

(American  Physical  Therapy  Associa- 
tion, 1790  Broadway,  New  York  19, 
New  York.)  39  minutes,  16mm,  sound, 
black  and  white,  1958.  $140.  Produced 
by  MPO  Productions  Inc.,  New  York. 

Dc.s<Tiption 

'/'he  Return  is  in  semi-documentary 
dramatic  form,  depicting  the  role  of 
the  physical  therapist  in  the  rehabili- 
tation of  a  paraplegic  victim. 

In  the  opening  scenes,  Jim  Hines 
is  involved  in  an  automobile  accident, 
n  which  he  suffers  almost  complete 
paralysis  of  his  lower  limbs.  Jim  is  told 
that  he  has  some  muscle  return,  but  he 
will  have  to  work  very  hard  if  he  in- 
tends to  walk  again.  Under  the  guid- 
aiKc  of  his  physical  therapist,  Pat 
Chaney,  Jim  begins  his  exercises  to  de- 
velop his  muscle  power.  Through  hard 
work  and  the  use  of  whatever  muscle 
power  he  can  muster,  Jim  learns  to 
sit  upright  and  eventually  is  able  to 
Iress  himself.  It  is  a  big  day  for  Jim 
when  he  uses  his  wheelchair  for  the 
first  time  and  is  able  to  look  at  people 
fri)iii  a  sitting  position  once  more. 

The  confidence  Jim  has  gained  thus 
far  seems  to  all  but  disappear  when  he 
tries  to  learn  to  crawl  for  the  first  time. 
Pat  feels  that  because  Jim  is  unable 
to  see  any  improvement  he  has  given 
up.  His  failure  and  refusal  to  try  to 
Irani  to  crawl  causes  a  great  deal  of 
oiicern  to  the  therapist  and  the  other 
iieniljers  of  the  staff,  .\fter  a  consulta-

tion  with  the  other  staff  members  Pat 
receives  permission  to  take  Jim  to  the 
pool  and  allow  him  to  walk  between 
the  handrails  in  the  water.  It  is  felt 
by  all  that  this  may  restore  Jim's  con- 
fidence in  himself  and  prove  that  he 
is  making  progress.  In  the  pool  Jim 
finds  that  he  is  able  to  walk,  and  his 
desire  to  walk  under  his  own  power 
is  stronger  than  before.  At  the  hand- 
rails in  the  gymnasium  Jim  takes  his 
first  steps.  In  a  few  short  weeks  he  is 
walking  with  crutches.  Jim's  improv- 
ment  and  that  of  the  other  patients  is 
discussed  by  the  therapists  on  the  staff. 
The  progress  of  a  patient  is  the  great- 
est reward  for  any  physical  therapist. 
The  faith  that  the  patients,  young  and 
old,  have  in  their  therapists  is  pay- 
ment enough. 

Pat  helps  Jim  to  learn  to  fall  from 
his  crutches  should  it  ever  be  neces- 
sary. During  an  exercise  in  which  the 
patients  gain  confidence  in  using  their 
crutches  by  hitting  a  large  ball  to  each 
other  with  their  crutch,  Jim  is  thrown 
off  balance.  As  he  turns  and  starts  to 
fall,  Jim  remembers  what  he  was 
taught  and  lands  in  the  proper  man- 
ner. Jim's  excellent  progress  has  mer- 
ited him  the  opportunity  to  proceed 
with  a  travel  test  in  actual  life  situa- 
tions which  is  designed  to  measure 
his  ability  and  determine  if  he  is  ready 
to  leave  the  hospital.  Jim  and  Pat 
walk  to  the  railroad  station,  board  the 
train,  and  travel  to  the  city.  Pat  re- 
cords the  time  it  takes  Jim  to  travel 
the  various  distances  and  determines 
if  he  is  able  to  handle  the  many  situa- 
tions he  may  encounter.  Jim  does  well 
and  finds  that  he  has  returned. 

Appraisal 

The  Return  is  an  excellent  docu- 
mentary film  depicting  the  rehabilita- 


tion of  a  paraplegic  victim  through  the 
help  and  guidance  of  a  physical  ther- 
apist. The  film  is  designed  to  be  used 
in  vocational  guidance  programs  and 
will  definitely  stimuate  a  desire  on  the 
part  of  the  viewer  to  seek  further  in- 
formation about  a  career  as  a  physical 
therapist.  It  may  be  used  profitably  by 
senior  high  school  and  college  guid- 
ance counselors,  in  nurses  training  pro- 
grams, and  in  general  adult  groups. 
Supplementary  information  on  type 
and  amount  of  training,  suggested 
prerequisite  courses,  job  availability, 
and  approximate  salaries  will  be 
needed.  The  producer  intended  that 
the  film:  (1)  motivate  young  men  and 
women  to  enter  the  profession,  (2)  and 
inform  the  general  public  about  phys- 
ical therapy.  Through  excellent  cast- 
ing and  production  techniques  the  film 
certainly  should  meet  these  objectives. 
The  leading  roles  were  performed  with 
a  great  deal  of  feeling  and  emotion, 
which  are  transferred  to  the  viewer. 
Using  the  facilities  of  the  New  York 
State  Rehabilitation  Hospital  in  West 
Haverstraw,  New  York,  adds  authen- 
ticity and  impact.  The  viewer  cannot 
help  but  feel  a  desire  to  want  to  do 
something  for  these  patients.  The 
training  sequences,  especially  those  on 
the  mat  and  handrails,  have  tremen- 
dous power.  In  addition  to  the  drama- 
tized sequences,  the  viewer  is  given 
an  insight  into  the  actual  work  of  the 
therapist  and  the  rewards  by  the  actual 
scenes  taken  at  the  rehabilitation  hos- 
pital. Though  lacking  in  information 
on  the  training  required  of  a  therapist. 
The  Return  should  prove  to  be  very 
effective  in  guidance  programs  and  for 
use  by  general  adult  audiences.  A  28- 
ininute  version  is  also  available.

The  other  day  we  happened  to  be 
observing  a  sixth  grade  class  "in  ac- 
tion." Lo  and  behold,  the  teacher  used 
exactly  seven  frames  of  a  filmstrip, 
then  turned  away  from  the  projector 
and  started  her  group  on  a  production 
project  which  involved  making  trans- 
parencies for  use  with  an  overhead 
projector.  Now  that's  what  we  call 
sensible  utilization  of  a  filmstrip! 
There  were  thirty-eight  frames  in  the 
filmstrip,  but  she  neither  tried  to  hurry 
through  the  complete  strip  nor  did  she 
"apologize  for  not  showing  it  all."  She 
simply  used  what  she  and  her  pupils 
needed  at  the  moment  and  made  it  a 
part  of  the  normal  course  of  work. 
Perhaps  the  day  of  sensible  visualiza- 
tion techniques  is  approaching  at  long 
last! 

ALASKA 
TWENTIETH  CENTURY  FRONTIER 

(Single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  Current  Affairs  Films,  527 
Madison  Ave.,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  as  a 
public  service  for  the  New  York  Jour- 
nal American.)  Alaska  is  "the  topic 
of  the  hour,"  and  interest  in  the  49th 
state  runs  high.  This  filmstrip  gives  a 
picture  account  of  the  resources,  in- 
dustries, living  problems  and  future 
potential  of  this  great  area.  By  high- 
iighting  the  facts  and  features  of  out- 
standing importance  the  viewer  is  led 
to  see  the  meaning  of  statehood  and  to 
a  consideration  of  what  constitutes 
.Alaska's  major  problem  if  it  is  to  be 
developed.  "This  type  of  filmstrip  is  best 
suited  for  use  in  a  class  where  there 
will  be  discussion  of  social  and  eco- 
nomic matters.  Its  use  will  enable  a 
teacher  to  focus  attention  on  major 
issues  and  to  stimulate  pupil  interest 
in  current  matters  of  national  and 
international   importance.

Cooper,  .\kott.  Holmes,  Whittier  and

much  to  all  students  of  American  lit- 
erature. These  authors  have  contrib-

The  filmstrips  (adapted  from  motion 
pictures  of  the  same  name.s)  give  us  an 
insight  into  some  of  the  events  in  the 
authors'  lives  and  focus  attention  on 
their  better  known  writings.  In  this 
way  the  strips  can  be  used  both  as 
introduction  to  the  people  and  as 
guides  to  the  literary  works  for  which 
they  are  famous.  The  general  scope  is 
adapted  to  junior  and  senior  high

are  many  events  and  personalities 
connected  with  the  growth  and  devel- 
opment of  our  country.  This  series

Wliether  you  :u  tually  play  an  instru- 
ment yourself,  or  arc  merely  one  of  an 
audience  listening  to  a  concert,  your 
ippreciation  of  a  symphony  orchestra 
will  be  enhanced  if  you  know  some- 
thing of  the  various  instruments  and 
how  they  are  played.  This  series  takes 
each  section  of  a  symphony  orchestra  — 
string,  woodwind,  brass,  percussion, 
melodious  percussion,  the  orchestra  as 
a  whole  —  and  gives  us  the  stories  of 
the  individual  instruments,  how  they 
evolved,  what  ihev  contribute  to  solo 
or  group  playing.  The  accompanying 
records,  of  course,  enable  us  to  hear 
the  tonal  ])attern  and  the  range  of 
each  instrument.  The  production  is  a 
good  one  and  represents  a  happy  com- 
bination of  sight  and  sound  for  true 
teaching  and  learning  purposes  antl 
pleasure.  This  is  one  of  those  instances 
where  the  producer  says  the  set  is  in- 
tended for  later  elementary,  junior  and 
senior  high  school.  We  prefer  not  to 
give  a  specific  grade  category,  for  the 
uuiterial  can  well  be  used  by  any  level 
or  age  group  interested  in  music. 

J.  A.  COMENIUS  1592-1670 

(Single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  UNESCO  and  available 
from  UNESCO  Publications  Center, 
801  Third  Ave.,  New  York  22,  N.  Y.; 
S3. 25  with  manual.)  ■\nyone  interested 
in  the  use  of  audiovisual  instructional 
materials  will  find  this  filmstrip  valu- 
able. It  is,  of  course,  biographical  in 
nature,  and  as  such  gives  us  some  of 
the  highlights  of  the  career  and  work 
of  John  Amos  Comenius,  the  e.xiled 
Moravian  pastor  who  had  so  great  an 
influence  on  educational  methodologv. 
Illustrations  in  the  filmstrip  have  been 
gathered  from  famous  libraries  in 
I'aris  and  Prague  and  the  United  Na- 
tions resources.  We  are  given  a  de- 
scription of  the  famous  encyclopaedia 
"Orbis  Pictus"  and  of  the  philosophy 
underlying  Comenius'  insistence  on  the 
use  of  pictures  to  motivate  children 
to  learn.  Such  a  filmstrip  is  naturally 
to  be  recommended  for  teacher-train- 
ing groups.  We  see  no  reason,  however, 
to  restrict  it  to  such  groups.  Certainly 
pupils  in  junior  and  senior  high 
school  would  find  it  interesting  for 
use  in  consideration  of  world  history 
and  culture. 


MASTERS  OF  MOOERN  ART 

(2  single  strips,  color;  produced  by 
Life  Filmstrips,  !»  Rockefeller  Plaza, 
New  York  20,  N.  Y.;  $6  per  strip.) 
The  latest  editions  to  this  series  arc 
Henri  Matisse  and  Vincent  Van  Gogh. 
There  are  lecture  notes  which  provide 
additional  information  about  the  spe- 
cific material  shown   in   the   strips.   In 


each  instance  the  intent  is  to  provide 
the  viewer  with  a  selection  of  the 
works  of  the  artist,  particularly  those 
which  give  us  a  key  to  his  style  and 
contribution.  Selections  illustrative  of 
the  different  periods  and  moods  are 
included;  so  are  detailed  closeups 
which  enable  us  to  examine  paintings 
carefully.  The  lecture  notes  provide 
background  data  and  serve  as  refer- 
ences. Filmstrips  such  as  these  can  be 
used  in  a  variety  of  ways  and  to  meet 
many  needs.  They  can  serve  either  to 
prepare  pupils  for  a  visit  to  great 
museum  centers,  or  as  a  guide  to  re- 
call and  discussion  after  such  visits. 
They  arc  also  helpful  in  leading  stu- 
dents to  understand  and  appreciate 
the  skill  of  artists  and  in  helping  to 
form  ideas  of  art  and  the  role  of  art 
in  modern  life. 

TA6LINE  FOR  SUCCESS 

(Single  strip,  color;  produced  by  and 
available  without  cost  from  Educa- 
tional Service  Dept.  of  Bristol-Myers 
Products  Division,  45  Rockefeller 
Plaza,  New  York  20,  N.  Y.)  There  is 
no  single  royal  road  to  business  suc- 
cess, but  a  bit  more  attention  to  some 
of  the  points  stressed  in  this  filmstrip 
could  well  help  any  yoimg  man  or 
woman  who  is  starting  out  on  a  career. 
\  plea  is  made  for  skill  and  knowledge 
lo  meet  job  demands;  a  good  attitude 
towards  work  and  fellow-workers; 
basic  cleanliness  as  an  essential;  main- 
tenance of  good  health,  and  the  wear- 
ing of  suitable  clothing.  Wall  charts 
.ind  booklets  may  also  be  secured  to 
use  with  the  strip.  There  is  a  place 
for  material  of  this  type  in  college 
.md  training  courses  and  in  industry 
training  units.  The  diagrams  are  clear 
and  the  descriptions  simple,  leaving 
opportunity    for   plenty   of  discussion.

duced by  Society  for  Visual  Education, 
1 345  Diversey  Parkway,  Chicago,  Illi- 
nois; $15  set  of  3.)  This  series  is  both 
general  and  specific.  There  is  an  over- 
all emphasis  on  the  general  value  of 
keeping  accurate  records.  There  is  de- 
tailed and  itemized  information  as  to 
how  to  record  transactions,  |)ost  jour- 
nals and  keep  a  ledger  of  debts  and 
credits.  There  are  many  diagrams  de-

l)Ooks,  accounts  and  processes  involved, 
riie  material  is  based  on  the  South- 
Western  Publishing  Co.  books  of  the 
same  title,  and  a  very  complete  visual- 
ization is  ])rovicled  for  this  study,

courses  in  grades  9  through   12.

Sound  Advice 

about  audio  materials 

and  equipment 


Elementary  school  teachers  should 
be  aware  of  several  books  by  Fan 
Kissen,  script  writer  and  program  con- 
iiliant  in  the  Elementary  School  Divi- 
^i()n  of  the  New  York  City  Board  of 
Education  station,  WNYE.  The  books 
are  "The  Straw  Ox,"  "The  Bag  of 
Fire."  "The  Crowded  House"  and 
■  Ihey    Helped    Make    America." 

t!ach  of  the  first  three  are  in  the 
.tries  "Tales  from  the  Four  Winds" 
irul  have  been  successfully  reproduced 
IS  radio  programs  in  New  York.  Just 
IS  the  four  winds  blow  from  the  four 
major  directions,  so  the  stories  come 
from  all  over  the  world.  Most  of 
these  stories  are  old,  so-called  folk- 
talcs.  They  may  not  have  been  writ- 
en  down  before —certainly  not  in 
'he  form  of  a  usable  radio  script.  No 
)nc  knows  who  first  told  them  but 
:hey  have  been  handed  down  from 
)arent  to  child  through  many  gen- 
;rations. 

"Tlie  Straw  Ox"  includes  such  fam- 
liar  titles  as  "Jack  and  the  Bean- 
talk,"  "The  Sleeping  Beauty,"  "Rum- 
)elstiltskin"  and,  of  course,  "The 
Straw  Ox."  These  .scripts  are  simply 
vritten  and  included  with  each  are 
limple   sound   effect   suggestions. 

Similarly  "The  Bag  of  Fire"  con- 
ains  many  familiar  titles  including 
'Why  the  Sea  is  Salt,"  "Cinderella," 
The  Tinder  Box"  and  "The  Bag  &f 
"ire."  Included  in  "The  Crowded 
flou.se,"  as  well  as  the  title  playlet, 
ire  "The  Pied  Piper,"  "The  Young 
^aul  Bunyan,"  "The  Three  Golden 
Granges,"  "The  Ugly  Duckling"  and 
'The  Wise  Men  of  Gotham"  to  men- 
ion    but   a    few. 

Teachers  will  immediately  recog- 
lizc  the  opportunities  these  ready-to- 
lo  radio  scripts  can  mean  to  them 
n  literature,  reading  and  speech  in- 
truction  programs.  These  are  'tailor- 
nade'  for  presentation  over  school- 
vide  sound  distribution  systems.  Or 
he  class  can  use  the  tape  recorder  and 
)erform  and  record  plays  of  their 
>wn  selection  for  their  own  satisfac- 
ion.  The  variety  of  uses  in  assembly 


programs  and  classroom  situations  is 
limited  only  by  the  imagination  of 
the  teacher  and  her  students.  The 
publishers  have  recognized  these  po- 
tentials and  have  wisely  made  pro- 
vision for  them  by  stating  that  "No 
permission  is  required  for  informal 
presentation  in  classrooms  or  school 
assemblies"  although  permission  for 
presentation  beyond  these  limits  must 
be  secured  from  the  publishers, 
Houghton    Mifflin    Company. 

These  three  volumes  are  little  gems 
which  can  be  most  effectively  used  in 
the  audio  education  program  as  it 
contributes  to  student  growth  in  read- 
ing and  in  speech. 

"They  Helped  Make  .America"  is 
<|uite  different  in  that  these  are  read- 
ing plays.  Production  with  limited 
school  facilities  would  be  difficult. 
Costumes  are  required,  as  are  special 
sets.  Seventh  graders,  however,  who 
seek  introduction  to  the  form  of  the 
drama,  can  profit  from  reading  about 
such  men  as  William  Penn,  Benjamin 
Franklin,  Paul  Revere,  George  Wash- 
ington, Sam  Houston,  Abraham  Lin- 
coln and  others  who  excite  their 
imagination  and  whose  lives  and 
deeds  are  integral  to  the  growth  of 
.America. 

The  amazing  growth  of  the  langu- 
age laboratory  idea  and  its  broad 
acceptance  on  all  levels  of  instruction 
prompts  us  to  try  to  keep  abreast  of 
the  flood  of  foreign  language  records 
approaching  or  on  the  market. 
LEARN  FLUENT  SPANISH  (Wil- 
mac  Recorders,  Pasadena,  California), 
is  one  example.  Wilmac  has  produced 
many  records  in  the  major  foreign 
languages  and  is  well  equipped  to 
contribute  successfully  in  this  area. 
LEARN  FLUENT  SPANISH  is  en 
tirely  recorded  in  the  foreign  language 
and  is  designed  so  that  the  student 
listening  alone  or  in  a  group  situa- 
tion is  immediately  immersed  in  it. 
The  content  is  travel  oriented,  being 
based  on  travel  situations.  The  vo- 
cabulary employed  is  entirely  practical

and  it  is  not  impossible,  within  the 
limits  already  indicated,  that  the  stu- 
dent in  a  short  time  can  be  convers- 
ing  simply    in    the    language. 

Method  is  important  here  and  the 
authors  have  wisely  elected  to  use  a 
pure  aural-oral  approach,  giving  the 
student  ample  time  to  repeat  heard 
phrases  and  to  respond  to  recorded 
questions.  .'Mthough  a  translation  and 
manual  accompanies  the  recordings, 
it  cannot  be  used  except  for  students 
who  have  a  facility  for  reading 
quickly   and   easily. 

Foreign  language  recordings  must 
also  be  judged  on  the  basis  of  speech. 
These  represent  superior  enunciation 
and  pronunciation  and  can  be  effec- 
tively employed  in  instruction  on  the 
junior  high  .school  level  and  above 
in  the  introduction  of  the  language 
and  in  the  early  development  of  a 
sizable  vocabulary.  Of  course  the 
speakers  can  be  imitated  to  good  pur- 
pose  for   proper  speech. 

If  the  recordings  are  employed  be- 
low the  seventh  grade  the  text  mate- 
rial becomes  less  important  and  the 
recordings  then  must  stand  on  their 
merits.  In  this  instance  rapid  progress 
may  not  be  possible  —  it  may  not  even 
be  desirable.  But  younger  children 
can  enjoy  and  profit  from  the  aural 
practice.

ENRICHMENT  MATERIALS 
(New  York,  N.  Y.)  offers  four  titles 
adapted  from  the  Landmark  Books. 
These  include  "George  Washington: 
Frontier  Colonel"  and  "The  Santa  Fe 
Trail,"  pressed  back-to-back  on  disc 
116.  Each  of  these  can  be  useful, 
particularly  in  the  upper  elementary 
and  junior  high  school  grades,  in 
classes  studying  American  History. 
Each  of  the  recordings  deals  with  the 
westward  expansion  of  the  American 
people.  The  recording  of  George 
Washington  emphasizes  his  early  jour- 
neys to  the  Ohio  valley  and  his  serv- 
ices in  that  area  to  the  British  expedi- 
tion —  particularly  General  Braddock. 
Students  will  learn  something  of  the 
rivalry  of  the  French  and  the  British 
in  pre-Revolutionary  days  and  of  war- 
fare in  the  trails  and  forests  of  the 
then  unexplored  west. 

"The  Santa  Fe  Trail"  deals  with  a 
later  period,  of  course,  and  recounts 
dramatically  the  trials  and  hardships 
encountered  by  the  traders  who,  in 
1822,  made  up  the  first  wagon  train 
westward  from  Franklin,  Missouri.  In- 
cluded in  this  recording  are  mentions 
of  the  exploration  of  the  Cimarron 
River,  the  Mexican  War  of  1846,  and 
the  Gold  Rush  just  three  years  later. 

Junior  high  school  students  can 
enjoy  and  profit  from  hearing 
"Thomas  Jefferson:  Father  of  Democ- 


racy" (ENRICHMENT),  which  is  a 
dramatization  of  major  events  from 
the  life  of  this  American  statesman. 
Beginning  with  Jefferson's  political 
activities  prior  to  the  American  Rev- 
olution, this  recording  relates  his  con- 
tributions to  the  framing  of  the  Dec- 
laration of  Independence  and  his 
service  as  President  of  the  United 
States.  This  is  an  excellent  recording 
which  can  be  valuable  for  either  stu- 
dent motivation  to  study  and  reading 
or  for  quick  summary  of  the  life  of 
the  founder  of  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia. The  reverse  side,  intended  for 
somewhat  younger  students,  is  titled 
"The  Vikings,"  and  summarizes  the 
explorations  and  settlements  of  Green- 
land and  the  American  continent,  led 
by  Eric  the  Red  and  his  son  Leif  the 
Lucky. 

Senior  high  school  students  can  gain 
a  new  insight  into  Shakespearean 
drama  through  the  recordings  issued 
by  THE  SPOKEN  WORD  (New 
York) .  Included  in  their  recent  re- 
leases are  four,  all  of  which  are  supe- 
rior. These  are  performed  by  the 
Gate  Theatre  Players  of  Dublin.  "As 
You  Like  It,"  "Much  Ado  About 
Nothing,"  "Taming  of  the  Shrew"  and 
"Twelfth  Night"  are  the  four  titles 
thus  far  released.  Each  play  is  com- 
plete and  can  be  heard  with  profit 
either  by  individuals  listening  alone 
for  pleasure  or  study,  or  by  groups 
listening  together.  The  dramas  are 
unchanged  from  the  original,  except 
for  the  deft  and  useful  introduction 
of  simple  stage-setting  sound  effects. 
These  recordings  of  complete  Shakes- 
peare plays  represent  valuable  con- 
tributions to  the  recorded  literature 
available   to  schools. 

* 

Equally  valuable  are  several  recent 
CAEDMON  (New  York)  releases  such 
as  "The  Ancient  Mariner"  backed  up 
by  "The  Poetry  of  Coleridge"  read  by 
Sir  Ralph  Richardson.  In  addition  to 
the  title  poem,  "Kubla  Khan,"  "This 
Lime  Tree  Bower  My  Prison,"  "Frost 
at  Midnight"  and  "Dejection:  An 
Ode"   are  heard. 

It  is  interesting  that  when  Edison 
developed  the  first  crude  phonograph 
he  spoke  of  developing  a  form  of 
"written  sound"  which  could  be  pre- 
served and  reheard.  Francis  Turner 
Palgrave,  at  about  the  same  time,  was 
so  impressed  with  the  beauty  of  some 
English  poetry  that  he  collected  an 
anthology  of  particularly  impressive 
works.  These  two  arts  have  been  com- 
bined in  CAEDMON'S  "Palgrave's 
Golden  Treasury,"  which  represents 
the  work  of  many  major  English  poets 
whose  work  was  well  known  before 
the  twentieth  century.  These  include 
such  giants  as  Arnold,   Burns,   Byron, 


Coleridge,  Donne,  Dryden,  Keats 
\[arlowe,  Milton,  Shakespeare,  Tenny- 
.son  and  Wordsworth  to  name  but  a 
few.  .'Ml  in  all  fifty-four  poems  se- 
lected from  Palgrave's  original  an 
thology  are  here  reproduced  in  sounc 
as  they  were  meant  to  be  heard.  This 
too,  is  an  exceptional  recording  and 
can  well  be  used  in  secondary  schoo! 
record  libraries  as  well  as  in  othei 
collections  for  adults. 

Still  in  the  area  of  English  Poetr) 
we  would  like  to  draw  to  your  atten 
tion  "The  Poetry  of  Keats,"  also  pub 
lished  by  CAEDMON.  Sir  Ralph 
Richardson  reads  this  recording,  which 
includes  "Ode  to  a  Nightingale," 
"Ode  on  a  Grecian  Urn,"  "To  Au 
tumn,"  "Ode  to  Melancholy,"  "When 
I  have  Fears  That  I  May  Cease  tc 
Be,"  "On  First  Looking  Into  Chap 
man's  Homer,"  "La  Belle  Dame  San;: 
Merci"  and  "The  Eve  of  St.  Agnes.' 
We  have  not  been  able  to  give  yoi 
the  complete  contents,  but  this  selec 
tion  can  indicate  the  importance  ol 
this  recording  in  the  instructional  a: 
well  as  the  pleasure  listening  program 
The  poems  are  obviously  carefulh 
and  well  selected  and  the_reading  i: 
superior.  Here,  too,  is  a  recordinf 
which  can  contribute  much  to  the 
pleasures  of  study  and  at  the  same 
time  increase  both  the  speed  and  the 
intensity  of  learning  for  secondar\ 
school  students  as  well  as  college  stu 
dents  and  adults. 

We  all  recall  the  delightful  "Ruta 
baga  Stories"  which  Carl  Sandburg 
created  for  his  children.  CAEDMON 
has  produced  a  recording  of  seven  ol 
these  fascinating  tales  as  told  by  the 
poet  and  author  himself.  It  is  difficull 
to  assign  such  a  recording  to  an) 
particular  group  except  by  saying  thai 
it  is  delightful  leisure  listening  foi 
children  of  all  ages  — and  instruc- 
tionally  valuable  in  the  elementary 
school  for  the  opportunity  it  gives  tc 
introduce  children  to  Sandburg.  The 
stories  here  recreated  involve  the 
fabulous  trip  to  the  Rutabaga  Coun 
try  and  introduce  such  delightful 
places  and  charming  people  as  thi 
Village  of  Cream  Puffs,  Hatrack  the 
Horse,  the  wild  Babylonian  Baboon? 
and  Googler  and  Gaggler.  This  one  i^ 
really  'fun  for  all'  and  can  be  used 
in  instruction  for  a  variety  of  pur 
poses  on  several  levels  of  learning. 

"Listen  and  Play  the  Piano"  is  an 
effort  to  offer  direct  instruction  in 
music  for  beginners.  C.^BOT,  in  pub 
lishing  this  record,  claim  no  more 
for  it  than  that  through  it  some  musi- 
cal talents  may  be  discovered.  Hardly 
intended  for  school  use,  it  may  still 
be  applicable  to  home  situations  and 
may  be  used  in  a  supervisory  sense  tc 
determine  specialized  talents.

Ids  For  Lent 


If  I  were  responsible  for  the  Lenten 
services  in  my  church  this  year,  I 
would  seriously  consider  using  a  film- 
strip  series.  It  woidd  be  no  short-cut 
to  ease.  Far  from  it;  even  more  work 
would  be  involved  than  for  a  talk-and- 
hear  series.  It  would  do  at  least  two 
things:  a)  give  a  new  format  to  these 
services;  and,  b)  bring  Biblical  scenes 
and  persons  alive  as  talk  can't  do. 

To  get  my  series  of  seven,  I  think  I 
would  use  Part  IV  of  Cathedral  Film's 
"Stories  of  Jesus"  filmstrips.  On  the 
pictorial  side  they  contain  good  dra- 
matic photographs,  and  on  the  visual, 
a  commentary  both  informing  and  in- 
spiring and  having  good  technical 
(|ualities.  To  these  six  I  would  add 
another  filmslrip.  The  Raising  of 
Lazarus  would  be  a  good  prelude  to 
Passion  Week  events  covered  by  the 
six.  Again.  I  woidd  consider  the  fitness 
of  another:  Symbols  of  The  Cross, 
from  Cathedral's  "Symbols  of  The 
Church"  series. 

How  would  I  put  this  material  to- 
gether into  progress?  Many  others 
would  be  suitable,  and  among  all  of 
us  there  is  bound  to  be  a  great  range 
of  valid  preference.  I  would  start  with 
a  hymn,  follow  with  scripture,  and 
end  this  opening  phase  of  the  service 
with  an  invocation.  Now  would  come 
another  hymn,  and  after  this  a  session 
of  prayers.  Now  I  would  make  the 
group  ready  to  see  (and  experience) 
the  filmstrip  presentation.  To  do  this 
1  would  set  the  event  —  Triumphal 
Entry,  Passover,  The  Trial,  The  Cru- 
cifixion, The  Resurrection,  and  the 
Upper  Room  Revelation  —  in  their 
largest  context.  I  would  avoid  saying 
what  the  filmstrip  was  going  to  say.  I 
would,  however,  give  it  a  very  large 
frame  of  reference.  I  would  be  quiet 
and  factual  about  it;  not  tense  or 
preachy;  and  not  over  5  minutes  long. 

Now  we  would  be  ready  for  the 
filmstrip.    Of    course,     1    would    have 


everything  in  readiness  and  tested,  and 
be  sure  of  any  who  were  assisting  me 
in  the  operation  and  control  of  facili- 
ties and  equipment. 

After  the  filmstrip  would  come  a 
prayer.  It  would  bring  our  total  ex- 
perience before  God  in  thanksgiving 
and  praise,  and  recommitment,  under 
His  grace,  to  Christian  living. 

Now  the  closing  hymn,  still  in  the 
mood  of  the  prayer,  and,  the  benedic- 
tion. All  this  within  an  hour,  and 
better  still  within  50  minutes. 

For  promotion  I  would  make  up  an 
attractive  little  four-page  folder,  to  be 
mailed  out  to  the  parish  ahead  of 
Lent,  and  placed  Sunday  by  Sunday 
as  a  reminder  in  the  pew  racks. 

That's  how  I'd  go  about  using  a 
filmstrip  series  for  my  Lenten  services 
for  my  parish.  How  would  you  plan 
vours?-WSH 


Tipping  In  Church 

According  to  the  64-frame  color  and 
sound  filmstrip,  A  Tip  Or  A  Talent, 
the  giving  of  young  people  to  their 
church's  budget  often  resembles  tip- 
ping more  than  Christian  stewardship. 
Produced  by  the  United  Presbyterian 
Church  in  the  USA  in  cooperation 
with  the  Department  of  Stewardship 
and  Benevolence  of  the  National 
Council  of  Churches,  this  filmstrip 
will  have  wide  acceptance  and  useful- 
ness in  the  local  church,  in  youth  con- 
ferences and  rallies. 

It  takes  up  the  situation  of  teenager 
Don,  who  tells  his  own  story.  On  a 
double  date  on  Saturday  night,  he  is 
just  about  (financially)  able  to  meet 
the  tip  when  the  check  for  refresh- 
ments is  dropped  on  the  table.  On 
Sunday,  just  after  the  collection  plate 
passes,  he  suddenly  realizes  that  he  has 
just  tipped  God,  as  it  were.  This  trig- 
gers a  chain  of  reflections  on  all  that 
he  has  received  from  God  via  his  par- 
ents, his  home,  his  friends,  and  his 
church.  As  he  shares  these  reflections 
on  the  quality  of  his  Christian  stew- 
ardship via  the  commentary  of  the 
filmstrip,  we  join  him  easily  in  resolv- 
ing to  do  better  ourselves.

Produced  for  use  with  Junior  Hi 
and  Senior  Hi  young  pcopk',  this  fihii- 
strip  can  help  the  thoughtful  youth 
leader  give  new  and  deeper  meaning 
to  Christian  stewardship.  The  art  is 
fjuite  a(re|)lahle  in  quality;  the  con- 
tent well  organized;  and  the  narration 
well-spoken  and  effective.  It  is  a  cred- 
itable and  useful  job.  .Available  from

Block  Drama 

One  way  to  evaluate  a  filmstrip  is 
to  measure  it  against  what  the  maker 
says  he  set  out  to  do;  against  what  he 
intended  to  accomplish. 

In  producing  Tlie  Builders,  the  Di- 
vision of  Evangelism  of  the  United 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  USA  (156 
Fifth  Ave.,  New  York  10)  says  it  "is  to 
state  clearly  and  briefly  the  basic  re- 
sponsibility of  the  evangelism  chair- 
man and  committee  in  the  local 
church."  .  .  .  That  it  is  not  a  philoso- 


|)hy  of  evangelism  and  not  "intended 
to  be  an  exhaustive  presentation  of 
the  \arious  methods  or  program  ideas 
on  evangelism.  .  .  .  The  one  focus  of 
attention  is  upon  the  work  of  the 
conniiittee."  It  is  "to  show  exactly 
how  a  vital  evangelism  committee  will 
organize  itself  to  do  its  task." 

Measured  against  this  description. 
The  Builders  is  just  short  of  a  total 
flop.  We  have  a  hunch  that  more 
money  than  know-how  went  into  its 
planning. 

The  visual  goes  one  way;  the  audi- 
tory another.  While  we  look  at  some 
five  or  six  adults  fooling  around  with 
some  over-size  blocks  we  are  supposed 
to  listen  to  a  narration  having  little 
or  nothing  to  do  with  this  block 
drama.  .\s  our  attention  shifted  back 
and  forth  between  the  two  totally 
luiintegrated  elements  of  this  so-called 
filmstrip.  we  wound  up  with  little  or 
nothing  of  what  the  maker  said  he  was 
going  to  give  us. 

Being  visual,   our  attention   seemed

After  Saeed  learned  to  read  he  was 
not  the  same  again;  nor  was  his  vil 
lage  ever  the  same.  That's  why  tht 
filmstrip  that  tells  of  this  translorma

Sound  and  Fury 


Battle  On  A  Small  Planet  is  a  94- 
frame  15-minute  "sound  filmstrip  in 
color  cartoons  for  youth  on  the  mean- 
ing of  the  Gospel."  The  commentary 
is  LP  recorded  with  music  and  sound 
effects,  and  there  is  a  use-guide  to 
complete  the  package.  It  was  produced 
by  the  Division  of  Evangelism  of  the 
United  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
US.\  for  use  at  presbytery  youth  rallies 
and  in  local  church  fellowship  groups. 

Boiled  down  to  essentials,  as  the 
title  suggests,  the  content  is  concerned 
with  the  battle  of  Gotl  with  the  Devil 
for  the  souls  of  the  inhabitants  of  this 
"small  planet."  How  is  this  message 
on  the  "meaning  of  the  Gospel"  de- 
livered? 

On  the  art  side,  I  found  the  visuali- 
zations off-beat,  ineffective,  crude,  dis- 
g  u  s  t  i  n  g    and    disconcerting  —  when 


42 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  January,   1959 


judged  against  what  the  Gospel  in- 
iiaicly  requires  of  tliose  who  accept  it. 
A  lie-bop  cartooning  of  wliat  goes  on 
between  a  soul  and  its  Maker  is  both 
bad  taste  and  bad. 

Turning  to  the  audio,  we  are  treated 
to  screechings,  to  bangs,  to  trumpet 
blarings,  to  irrational  sound  effects  as 
jerky  narration  talks  excitedly  about 
sin,  selfishness,  and  sahation  in  beat- 
generation  cliches.  W'liat  a  racket! 

And  look  at  the  e(|uipment  this 
filinstrip  needs  for  its  most  effective 
utilization:  a  filmstrip  projector  in- 
tegral w-ith  a  record  player  which  can 
iiiili/c  subsonic  frame-adxance  signals. 
How  many  churches  will  have  such 
e(|uipnient?  Few.  What  if  they  don't? 
Ihey  then  are  likely  to  get  even  more 
rac  ket  from  the  record  —  as  the  sub- 
sonic becomes  quite  sonic.  This  adds 
up  to  greenhorn  and  unrealistic  plan- 
ning. Let's  take  some  comfort  from  the 
realization  that  few  youth  leaders  will 
ever  be  so  casual  about  the  "meaning 
of  the  Gospel,"  or  hard  up  for  pro- 
gram material,  as  to  take  this  flippant 
filmstrip  failure  seriously.

(olor  sound  film,  tells  the  story  of 
young  Dick  Stewart  and  his  wife  Lisa. 
Coming  from  a  background  of  wealth 
and  |)rivilege,  he  determinedly  .seeks 
the  true  meaning  of  life  as  a  seminar- 
ian at  Protestant  Episcopal  Tlieolog- 
ical  .Seminary  in  Virginia.  The  film 
follows  him  and  Lisa,  through  ups  and 
downs,  for  his  three  years  at  TSV.  We 
are  given  some  insight  into  the  semi- 
nary process.  Not  only  do  we  become 
acquainted  with  TSV,  but  with  some- 
thing relatively  new;  the  coming  to 
seminary  of  older  men  who  have  made 
a  success  of  some  vocation  or  profes- 
sion. For  classmates  Dick  Stewart  had 
a  former  Wall  Street  broker,  an  air- 
lines pilot,  and  a  guided  missile  ex- 
|)ert.  'The  dramatic  story  of  men  like 
tliese  —  now  a  common  sight  on  most 
seminary  campuses  —  is  nicely  pre- 
sented in  this  high-ciuality  low-budget 
film.  It  will  liave  wide  usefulness  in 
promoting  and  interpreting  the  cause 
ol  contemporary  seminary  education 
.generally.  .Available  from  the  Theo-

Sympathy  For  Alcoholics 

Ibis  is  just  what  the  30-minute

motional literature:  "This  is  a  frank 
utteinpt  to  build  understanding  and 
sympathy  for  alcoholics.  Until  church- 
men learn  to  love  alcoholics  as  much 
as   they   hate   alcohol,   they   can   never

fulfill  a  redemptive  mission  in  this 
area  of  human  need." 

Again  1  tiuote:  "How  Long  the 
Xighl  portrays  the  reasons  why  so 
many  alcoholics  keep  on  drinking,  and 
the  struggle  of  one  wife  to  try  to  un- 
derstand her  alcoholic  husband."  (One 
main  reason  is  given:  it  is  hypothet- 
ical.) 

One  more  (piote:  (This  film)  "is 
primarily  a  discussion  starter.  Adult 
church  groups  will  use  it  to  point  out 
ways  of  helping  alcoholics  and  their 
families."  It  is  for  adults  only. 

This  film  ought  to  kick  up  discus- 
sion. I'd  like  to  ask  if  the  "mean 
mama"  etiology  of  alcoholism  is  after 
all  an  explanation?  Again,  if  1  convert 
my  church  into  a  hospital  for  alco- 
holic cripples,  and  center  my  church's 
attention  on  loving  the  alcoholic,  who 
then  will  take  up  the  task  of  trying  to 
bring  the  social  plague  of  alcohol  un- 
der control?  Shall  we  deal  with  vic- 
tims, or,  the  cause  of  victims?  Isn't  the 
liquor  business,  from  grape  to  gutter, 
getting  oft  pretty  easy  when  it  can  say 
to  the  church,  "Here,  you  be  nice  and 
helpful  to  (my)  alcoholic,  it's  your 
job  after  all.  We  prefer  to  stick  to 
production  and  distribution"? 

Yes.  mis  film  can  start  discussion. 
I  dare  you  to  prevent  it!  .Available

Filmstrip-Centered 
Week-Day  Teaching 

By  Elizabeth  Loughead 
First  Baptist  Church 
Hudson  Falls,  N.  Y. 

Here  they  come!  From  the  public 
school  nearby  for  our  released-time 
religious  instruction.  How  released 
they  are  —  from  the  restraints  of  the 
school  room,  with  its  necessary  disci- 
pline, to  the  glorious  out-of-doors  for 
a  short  period  before  they  arrive  at 
the  church  in  high  spirits  and  in  no 
mood  to  learn  anything. 

.Staffing  such  a  school,  especially  in 
a  small  community,  is  quite  a  head- 
ache, and  when  you  add  the  problems 
of  adequate  and  attractive  curriculum, 
you  soon  have  migraine.  But  we 
wrestled  with  these  and  other  released- 
time  problems  for  several  years.  No 
one  was  happy  with  our  instructional 
pattern  and  our  progress  with  it. 

Then  our  pastor  tried  a  plan  which 
has  proved  successful,  and  the  best 
way  to  explain  it  will  be  to  describe  it 
in  action.  Let's  see  what  happens  to  a 
Seventh  Grade  class. 

On  Wedne.sdays  at  2  o'clock  they  are 
released  from  the  last  school  period 
for  the  day.  They  arrive  "released"  — 
all  44  of  them  —  at  the  church.  They 
go  to  an  assembly  and  are  met  by  six 
adults.  One  acts  as  the  superintendent. 
Hymns  are  sung.  This  gives  them  a 
chance  to  "let  off  steam."  These  hymns 
are  related  to  the  theme  for  the  day. 
Gradually  these  young  people  settle 
down.  Scripture  is  read.  Prayer  fol- 
lows; the  young  people  often  suggest- 
ing the  central  concern  of  these 
prayers. 

Now  a  sound  filmstrip  is  pre.sented. 
This  year  we  are  studying  the  life  of 
St.    Paul,    using   Cathedral's   excellent 


"Life  of  St.  Paul"  series.  We  try  to 
bring   this   presentation   off  smoothly. 

After  this  assembly  program,  the 
young  people  go  to  permanently  as- 
signed discussion  groups,  eight  or  nine 
to  a  teacher.  Here  they  discuss  ques- 
tions, prepared  by  the  superintendent 
and  based  on  the  filmstrip.  Each  pupil 
gets  a  set,  mimeographed  and  ready 
for  his  notes  and  inclusion  in  his  note- 
book. The  superintendent  does  not 
teach  a  "class"  but  remains  available 
as  a  general  resource. 

At  the  close  of  the  class  session  the 
teachers  meet  with  the  superintendent 
to  evaluate  the  session,  to  preview  and 
to  discuss  the  filmstrip  for  the  next 
week. 

What  makes  this  a  good  plan  for  us? 
First,  it  is  relatively  easy  to  secure 
teachers  since  the  superintendent  takes 
the  initiative  in  guidance  and  weekly 
preparation.  Secondly,  with  enough 
teachers  available,  the  class  or  discus- 
sion groups  can  be  small.  Thirdly,  a 
good  sound  filmstrip  holds  attention 
and  gets  over  its  message,  factual  and 
otherwise.  Lastly,  our  teachers  enjoy 
the  staff  meetings  and  leave  each  Wed- 
nesday feeling  that  they  are  prepared, 
in  the  main,  for  next  week. 

Our  filmstrip-centered  plan  is  not 
perfect,  of  course.  We  like  it  enough 
to  keep  working  at  it  and  with  it,  and 
just  the  other  day  one  of  our  teachers 
remarked,  "Now  I  enjoy  week-day 
teaching,"  and  there  was  a  lot  back  of 
that  indirect  appraisal  of  our  plan. 


AV  Usage  in 
a  Typical  Church 


According    to    Williard    Le    Grand, 
chairman  of  the  AV  committee  of  the 
Roundy     Memorial     Baptist     Church 
(4819  N.  Ardmore  Ave.)  of  Whitefish 
Bay,  Wisconsin,  the  box  score  on  AV 
usage  for  a  recent  year  is  as  follows:

During  the  year  this  church  pur- 
chased 23  filmstrips,  16  of  them  with 
recorded  narration.  It  also  put  dark- 
out  shades  in  the  fellowship  hall,  and 
bought  a  three-inch  lens  ,so  the  Lenten 
films  could  be  more  satisfactorily  pro- 
jected. During  this  past  summer  it  used 
a  series  of  audiovisual  programs  for 
kindergarden  and  primary  children 
during  the  worship  service. 

This  usage  and  progress  took  place 


under  the  guidance  of  an  active  audio 
visual  committee,  whose  annual  repor' 
was  made  last  spring  to  the  congrega 
tion,  and  from  which  the  above  dat; 
was  taken.  — WSH 


Rural  Christmas  Film 

For  22  dclightfid  and  informing 
minutes,  Christmas  on  Grandfalhef: 
Farm  holds  aside  the  draperies  oi 
time  and  we  look  back  across  the  land 
.scape  of  the  years  and  see  in  vivid 
colors  and  true  perspective  how  a 
typical  rural  family  celebrated  Christ 
mas  as  it  was  observed  even  as  late  as 
the  teen  years  of  this  century.  Foi 
those  with  lives  old  enough  to  have 
roots  which  reach  the  social-soil  of  the 
early  19  hundreds,  the  seeing  of  this 
film  will  be  enjoyable  nostalgia;  for  all 
others  it  will  be  the  engaging  and 
instructive  drama  of  life  that  moved  at 
a  pace  leaving  room  for  graciousness. 
Such  films,  when  given  the  sheen  of 
authenticity  and  charm,  are  never  easy 
to  make  and  Coronet  Instructional 
Films  deserves  genuine  appreciation 
for  bringing  this  one  off  so  well.  \\ 
very  valuable  and  useful  and  enjoy- 
able contribution  to  film-.Americana. 
Available    from    local   rental    libraries. 


Headache  Switch 

That's  what  the  worker  at  the  next- 
desk  called  it!  It  fit  the  case  pretty 
well,  for  Ed,  design  engineer,  blew 
his  top  over  a  smudged  drawing.  He 
got  a  calm  explanation  of  his  behavior 
from  a  knowing  colleague  who  called 
it  another  case  of  the  "headache 
switch."  The  film  telling  us  about  Ed, 
and  showing  us  how  he  got  over  this 
ailment,  is  called  Anger  At  Work.  I 
liked  it.  I  wished  that  every  man  of 
my  church  could  see  it.  What  it  would 
do  also  for  their  wives!  They  get  head- 
aches, too,  and  they  need  to  under- 
stand their  husbands,  besides.  Well, 
pastor,  service  club  programmer,  staff 
advisor  to  assorted  organizations  in 
the  church,  here  is  a  good  film  which 
will  come  pretty  close  to  home  (in  a 
constructive  way)  to  most  of  your 
folks.  Recommended.  .Available  from 
International  Film  Bureau,  57  East 
[ackson  Blvd..  Chicago  4,  111.  Running 
time  21   minutes.

the  use  especially  of  color  negative,  since 
a  single  such  exposure  can  be  the  source 
of  either  a  color  print,  a  black-and-white 
print,  or  a  color  transparency.  Negative- 
positive  also  offers  exposure  latitude  since 
some  correction  can  be  made  in  printing. 


Some  Films  Are  Popular 

Demand  for  a  timely  sponsored  film 
may  mount  so  high,  so  fast,  that  the  dis- 
tributor is  swamped  with  requests.  In 
one  such  instance  500  prints  were  com- 
pletely booked  up  within  two  weeks  after 
they  were  put  into  circulation,  and  when 
200  more  were  ordered  these,  too,  were 
booked  solid  90  days  in  advance.  Sorry,

dential.

ment of  Roger  Fulton,  of  Elgin,  III.,  as

Christian  radio  broadcasting. 


Good  News  From  AVCOPI 

The  publications  issued  by  the  Audio- 
Visual  Commission  on  Public  Information 
lAVCOPI)  are  being  widely  circulated, 
according  to  a  report  by  Don  White, 
NAVA  vice-president.  Of  the  big  illus- 
trated Gateway  to  Learning  45,000  have 
been  distributed  from  headquarters  (250 
W.  57th  St.,  N.  Y.  19),  plus  a  special 
printing  of  I  1,000  in  California.  Telling 
Your  A-V  Story,  a  pamphlet  designed  to 
make  everyone  in  the  field,  whether 
dealer  or  educator,  his  own  public  rela- 
tions man,  has  been  circulated  thus  far 
in  2,300  copies.  In  a  number  of  states 
groups  of  NAVA  dealer  members  have 
supplied  copies  of  "Gateway  to  Learning" 
for  distribution  through  official  state  de- 
partment of  education  channels. 


with  non  -  letterpress  duplication  of 
graphic  materials  may  come  as  a  bit  of 
a  shock  to  those  who  have  thought  of 
expression  only  in  terms  of  television, 
motion  pictures  and  other  projected  vis- 
uals. But  the  Reproduction  Engineer  and 
the  industry  segments  that  cater  to  his 
trade  seemed  no  better  informed  about 
the  ramifications  of  the  audio-visual 
field,  or  about  their  own  lack  of  local 
chapter  Mason  with  other  professional 
societies. 

Proximity  of  the  two  fields  was  re- 
flected in  numerous  exhibits  at  home 
equally  in  the  annual  NAVA  A-V  show 
and  in  this  "Visual  Communication  Con- 
gress." Example;  Bruning,  Chart-Pak, 
Eastman  Kodak,  duPont,  Ozalid,  Polaroid, 
Technifax,   Vari-Typer.

of  the  National  Defense  Education  Act. 
NAVA  Sustaining  Members  will  meet  at 
9  a.m.,  January  23,  at  The  Roosevelt

Skibitzke   Joins    Family 

Leonard  Skibitzke,  formerly  with 
Moody  Bible  Institute,  has  been  appointed 
Director  of  Sale  Promotion  at  Family 
Films,  Inc.,  Hollywood  producer  of  re- 
ligious motion  pictures  and  filmstrips. 
Graduate  of  MBI  and  Wheaton  College, 
Mr.  Skibitzke  served  1  1  years  as  pastor 
of  a  church  near  Chicago  before  accepting 
a  part  in  the  MBI  audiovisual  department, 
where  he  worked  1  1  years  both  in  Chi- 
cago and,  on  the  West  Coast,  directly 
with   Dr.    Irwin   Moon. 


Know-how  on  the  Language  Lab 

A  series  of  five  25c  booklets  ($1.00 
for  the  set)  has  been  prepared  by  Mag- 
netic Recording  Industries,  126  Fifth 
Ave.,  N.  Y.  11,  to  tell  schools  "what, 
why,  how  and  how  much"  the  language 
training  program  covered  by  the  Na- 
tional Defense  Education  Act  will  involve. 
When  ordering,  include  remittance  — 
and  say  you  "saw  it  in  EdScreen." 

Kodak  Top  Command 

Donald  McMaster,  heretofore  vice- 
president  and  general  manager,  has  been 
named  chairman  of  Eastman  Kodak  Co.'s 
newly  created  executive  committee.  His 
two  co-members  are  Thomas  J.  Hargrave, 
board  chairman,  and  Albert  K.  Chapman, 
president.  William  S.  Vaughn  takes  over 
McMaster's  former  post.  There  are 
changes  on  the  AV  level  also  —  "Bill" 
Allen  gets  a  promotion  and  his  spot  as 
head  of  Cine  Sales  goes  to  James  W. 
(Jim)  Welch.  Dick  Cearhart's  position  is 
unaffected  by  the  change. 


Argus   Merchandiser 

Carlos  A  Chapman  has  been  named 
Merchandising  Manager  for  Argus  Cam- 
eras, a  division  of  Sylvania  Electric  Prod- 
ucts Co.  His  responsibility  will  be  the 
planning,  promotion  and  advertising  of 
all  Argus  photographic  products.  He 
previously  served  as  product  manager  of 
the  division. 


Major  to  United  Studio 

Jack  Major,  with  20  years  background 
including  Jam  Handy,  EBF  and  United 
World,  has  joined  the  staff  of  United 
Film  and  Recording  Studios,  301  E.  Erie 
St.,  Chicago,  as  Special  Projects  Promo- 
tion Manager.  Charles  A.  Stumpf  has 
been    appointed   General    Sales    Manager. 


Sales  Training  Institute 

The  Audio-Visual  Committee  of  the 
Church  Federation  of  Greater  Chicago  has 
reacted  favorably  to  suggestions  from 
NAVA  religious  dealers  that  next  year's 
religious  A-V  program  also  includes  a 
sales  training  institute  type  of  dealer- 
customer  demonstration.  A  dealer  will 
discuss  audiovisual  needs  with  a  film- 
using  churchman  in  a  role-playing  pres- 
entation, but  the  roles  will  be  those  of 
real  life.  (One  suggestion  was  that  the 
participants  reverse  their  roles  and  have 
the  preacher  do  the  selling.)

There's  Nothing  Like  a  SCHOOL  MASTER 
Filmstrip  and  Slide  Projector 


The  Graflex  SVE  School  Master  gives  screen  brilliance  unapproached 
jy  any  classroom  projector  of  like  rating.  New  Tru-Focus  projec- 
aon  lamps  in  combination  with  precision-ground  optical  systems 

d  lenses  put  on  the  screen  all  the  brilliance  of  which  the  lamp 
8  capable. 

School  Master  projects  filmstrips  or  2"  x  2"  slides  with  equal 
acility  and  efficiency.  The  change  from  one  to  the  other  is  made  in 
leconds  without  tools  and  without  adding  or  removing  parts.  Built- 

remote  control  permits  operating  the  projector  from  a  distance— 
Tom  the  front  of  your  class,  for  instance. 

Handy  built-in  carrying  handle  facilitates  transportation  from 
>ne  classroom  to  another.  Threading  and  framing  is  easy.  The  opti- 
!al  system  removes  as  a  unit  for  cleaning.  A  powerful  4-blade  fan 
issures  cool  operation.  While  a  5",  f/3.5  projection  lens  is  standard, 
rthers  are  available  to  match  image  size  to  any  projection  distance.

This  Month's  Cover 

To  grace  the  cover  of  our  annual 
religious  issue,  we  chose  a  still  from 
the  Family  Film  "Power  of  the  Resur- 
rection," filmed  in  cooperation  with' 
the  National  Council  of  Churches  to 
be  telecast  across  the  nation  this  Eastei. 

Co-produced  by  Henry  Denker,  who 
was  responsible  for  the  screenplay,  and 
Sam  Hersh,  the  feature-length  film  was 
photographed  in  color  and  presents  its 
story  through  the  life  of  Peter. 

Family  Filmstrips  offers  three  sound 
and  color  filmstrip  series  based  on  this 
story.  They  are  titled,  "The  Bible 
Story  of  Easter,"  "Peter's  Resurrec- 
tion Faith,"  and  "You  Shall  Receive 
Power." 


"Spiitretfe"  Stars  Again! 

The  satellite  featured  on  our  Janu- 
ary cover  is  the  subject  of  an  excellent 
and  timely  new  film,  "Exploring  by 
Satellite,"  produced  by  and  available 
from  Delta  Film  Productions,  Inc.,  of 
Chicago.  Presented  both  in  color  and 
in  black  and  white,  it  is  suitable  for  a 
wide  range  of  age  groups. 

The  new  frontiers  of  outer  space  are 
being   explored    through    the    use    of 


rockets  and  satellites  as  part  of  the  In- 
ternational Geophysical  Year  program 
in  cooperation  with  some  fifty  nations. 
Note  the  Delta  ad  below  for  detailed 
information  on  this  fine  film. 

In  Store  for  March 

Plenty  of  variety  is  in  prospect  for

provoking  discussions  of  .\V  courses  i 
the  teacher-training  curriculmn  —  thei 
proper  place,  virtues,  faidts,  existent

Coronet  Awards  Grant 

A  grant  of  S2,000  has  been  awarded 
to  Southern  Illinois  University's  In- 
itructional  Materials  Department  by 
Coronet  Instructional  Films,  Inc.  to 
help  defray  costs  of  a  research  project 
in  southern  Illinois  schools.  The  study 
is  being  conducted  by  Dr.  Paul  R. 
Wendt,  chairman,  and  Dr.  Gordon  K. 
Butts  of  the  Instructional  Materials 
Department  of  the  College  of  Educa- 
tion at  SIU. 

The  project  is  designed  to  increase 
the  productivity  of  good  teachers  by 
attempting  to  teach  a  full  year  of 
world  history  in  the  10th  grade  in  a 
half-year  with  the  help  of  61  sound- 
color  motion  picture  films  furnished 
by  Coronet.  These  films  were  planned 
as  a  series  and  are  used  in  the  schools 
at  the  rate  of  one  every  other  day. 

Schools  participating  in  the  project 
are  located  in  Sparta,  Chester,  Cairo, 
Harrisburg,  Benton,  Wayne  City,  and 
Johnston  City,  Illinois.  Two  classes  in 
world  history  are  taught  in  each  school 
by  the  same  teacher.  One  class  is  de- 
signed as  an  experimental  class  and 
the  other  one  acts  as  the  control  class. 
The  experimental  class  will  finish  the 
course  at  the  end  of  the  first  semester 
with  the  help  of  the  motion  picture 
films.  The  control  class  will  take  a 
full  year  to  cover  the  subject  but  will 
see  none  of  the  films.  The  only  differ- 
ence in  the  instruction  between  the 
two  groups  will  be  the  use  of  the  61 
films  and  their  related  study  guides. 

Each  classroom  is  equipped  with  a 
special  auxiliary  library  of  66  books, 
both  fiction  and  non-fiction,  selected 
by  Miss  Kathleen  Fletcher  of  SlU's 
Instructional  Materials  faculty  and 
provided  by  the  regional  library  under 
Mr.  Miller  Boord  located  at  Southern 
Illinois  University.  Data  are  being  col- 
lected on  the  use  of  this  library  by 
both  control  and  experimental  groups. 
Pre  and  post  tests  in  world  history  will 
be  administered  as  well  as  intelligence 
and  reading  tests. 

The  project  is  coordinated  by  Mr. 
Eugene  Cottle,  associate  professor  of 
education  at  the  University  of  Wy- 
oming. 

The  Eastman  Company  is  cooperat- 
ing with  the  research  program  in  the 
use  of  Pageant  Projectors  for  all  the 
experimental  schools.

THE  OVERHEAD  PROJECTOR  keeps  the  teacher  in 

front  of  the  class,  projecting  his  own  slides,  facing  his  class  at 
all  times,  observing  reactions,  and  adjusting  his  presentation  to 
the  response  of  his  pupils. 

There  is  no  need  for  a  separate  operator,  with  an  accom- 
panying system  of  signals.  The  projector  complements  the 
teacher  rather  than  replaces  him.  The  teacher  selects  his  own 
pace,  extemporizing  as  he  wishes;  commenting  before,  during, 
and  after  projection. 

He  uses  the  screen  as  a  blacl<board,  writing  or  drawing  at 
will  on  slides  or  sheets  of  transparent  plastic,  without  turning 
away  from  his  class.  Single  or  multiple  sheets  of  film  are  easily 
superimposable  on  the  slides,  allowing  the  teacher  to  unmask 
transparencies  in  progressive  disclosures,  or  to  build  up  several 
components  into  a  composite  image. 

Slides  are  large  (8"  x  10"),  and  easy  to  make.  Rudimentary 

art  skills  produce  dramatic,  colorful  transparencies. 

If  you  wish  to  learn  more  about  the  Overhead  Projector, 

please  write  to  Section  OP,  Visucom  Laboratories,  Tecnifax  Cor- 
poration, Holyoke,  Massachusetts.  Please  indicate  in  the  letter 
the  nature  of  your  interest.

"Convenience  frees  teachers  to  teach... 
we  like  it  in  the  design  of  our  school... 
we  like  it  in  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors.' 


"All  teachers  like  the  kind  of  convenience  that 
frees  them  to  concentrate  on  teaching.  That's 
one  reason  our  major  activity  areas  are  centrally 
located  in  our  new  school  near  the  administra- 
tive office.  And  the  same  kind  of  reasoning  led 
us  to  select  the  Kodak  Pageant  Projector— so 
easy  to  use  that  students  take  care  of  most  of 
our  movie  showings." 


Would  modern,  easy-to-use  equipment  help 
strengthen  your  audio-visual  program?  The 
Kodak  Pageant  16mm  Sound  Projector  gives 
you  folding  reel  arms  and  attached  drive  belts— 
a  truly  easy  machine  to  set  up.  You  have  a  pro- 
jector anyone  can  operate  with  ease.  Ask  your 
Kodak  Audio-Visual  Dealer  to  demonstrate.  Or

materials  exactly  the  way  you  want  to  show  them. ..subjects  become  dramatic-

Maximum  Life  From  Your 
Projector  Bulbs  I 

H.  J.  Hanbury,  photo  lamp  market 
ing  manager  for  Westinghouse,  likes  t£ 
sell  projector  lamps,  but  also  want: 
each  lamp  to  give  its  user  full  service 
Among  his  suggestions  on  how  to  gei 
maximum  life  and  best  results  froir 
projection  and  exciter  lamps  are: 

(1)  Avoid  rough  handling.  Lamp: 
filaments  are  complex  and  very  closel) 
spaced;  they  are  easily  damaged  b) 
abuse.  Never  move  the  projector  while 
the  lamp  is  lit,  except  for  normal  till 
adjustment,  and  avoid  operation  in 
abnormal  position.  That  spare  lamp 
in  the  speaker  case  should  be  well 
cushioned,  preferably  in  its  original, 
packing  or  equivalent. 

(2)  Keep  the  cooling  system  cleai 
of  obstruction.  If  the  projector  is 
placed  on  paper  or  light  cloth  to  pro^ 
tect  furniture,  make  sure  this  is  nol 
sucked   into    the   air   intake   opening 

(3)  Unless  the  reflecting  mirror 
behind  the  lamp  is  properly  focused  ii 
may  overheat  the  lamp. 

(4)  Be  sure  lamp  rating  corre , 
sponds  to  the  actual  line  voltage.  A I 
115-120  lamp  used  on  125  volt  currentl 
will  have  a  shorter  life  although  iij 
burns  brighter.  The  same  lamp  on 
100  volt  line  current  will  give  less 
light  but  will  last  longer.  Normal  lamp 
life  averages  25  hours;  the  range  may 
be  anywhere  from  10  to  50  hours. 

(5)  Replacement  exciter  lampi 
should  be  identical  in  voltage  and  am- 
perage rating  to  the  original.  Devia- 
tions will  certainly  result  in  inferior 
sound  reproduction  and  may  cause  a 
burnout.

Uantaae  f-^olnts 


The  vantage  points  we're  thinking  of  are  those 
points  of  view  from  which  this  magazine  is 
edited.  We  want  to  make  the  editorial  point 
that  all  the  editors  of  this  magazine  hold  unique 
positions  from  which  to  carry  on  their  editorial 
responsibilities.  We  think  this  is  a  prime  reason 
we  have  succeeded  for  so  long  in  meeting  the 
interests  and  needs  of  the  thousands  of  you  who 
read  us  regularly. 

Take  the  Church  Department,  for  instance, 
(and  this  is  a  particularly  appropriate  time  to 
do  this  inasmuch  as  we  are  giving  special 
emphasis  to  the  church  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials in  this  issue).  Bill  Hockman  typifies 
what  we  mean.  He  does  not  sit  in  an  ivory  bell 
tower  trying  to  figure  out  what  audiovisual 
problems  a  church  might  have.  He  knows,  be- 
cause he's  on  the  ground  floor  facing  these  prob- 
lems daily;  and  he's  been  solving  them  for  years. 
Through  his  accumulated  knowledge  and  trial 
and  error  experience  he  has  earned  full  right  to 
the  opinions  he  holds  about  audiovisual  ma- 
terials for  church  use,  and  the  use  that  should 
be  made  of  them. 

Consider  also  the  "Evaluation  of  New 
Films"  section.  Even  though  these  evaluations 
come  to  you  from  a  university  campus,  there's 
nothing  ivory  towerish  about  the  vantage  point 
from  which  "Ole"  Larson  and  Carolyn  Guss 
get  their  perspective.  Nowhere  in  this  country 
is  there  a  larger,  busier,  more  comprehensive 
and  practical  audiovisual  center.  Here  films 
must  be  evaluated  continuously  as  a  normal  part 
of  the  center's  function;  and  this  wealth  of  down- 
right practical  experience  is  shared  every  month 
with  SCREEN  readers. 

When  Max  Bildersee's  columns  first  appeared 
in  SCREEN  more  than  ten  years  ago  they  were 
headed  "Record  in  Review."  Now  they're  called 
"Sound  Advice."  But  the  thousands  of  words 
Pat  has  written  to  serve  you  have  always  been 
sound  advice  because  they  have  been  based  upon 
daily  contact  with  the  needs  of  classroom 
teachers.  This  coupled  with  his  personal  and 
discriminating  interest  in  all  forms  of  recorded 
sounds  that  teach  have  provided  him  with  a 
vantage  point  unique  in  the  audio  field. 

Although  Dr.  Irene  Cypher  is  our  newest 
department  editor,  she  is  a  veteran  educator  and 
prominent  professionally  in  the  audiovisual  field. 
Nor  has  she   just  discovered  filmstrips.    In   the 


past,  when  no  one  was  watching,  we  read  her 
words  about  filmstrips  in  other  audiovisual 
journals.  It  was  obvious  that  her  contacts  with 
producers  and  filmstrip  users  gave  her  a  vantage 
point  to  produce  words  that  SCREEN  readers 
just  had  to  have.  We're  glad  we  can  now  bring 
them  to  you  regularly. 

Phil  Lewis'  title  of  "Technical  Editor"  is  a 
misnomer.  Through  the  years  he  has  given  us 
and  you  assistance  in  far  more  than  technical 
ways.  Many  of  his  articles,  including  the  first 
published  in  September  1948,  have  been  on  tech- 
nical subjects.  Then  he  was  an  industrial  arts 
teacher,  and  while  he  has  written  for  you  he 
has  been  repeatedly  promoted  in  the  Chicago 
school  system  until  now  he  directs  the  Instruc- 
tional Materials  Department.  Always  his  articles 
on  technical  and  non-technical  subjects  have 
been  written  from  the  vantage  point  of  a 
practical  and  successful  teacher  and  school 
administrator. 

For  editing  the  "New  Equipment  and  Ma- 
terials" section  and  the  news  of  the  trade  we 
look  to  and  rely  upon  Bill  Kruse's  more  than 
thirty  years  of  contacts  with  manufacturers, 
producers,  users,  and  everybody  with  any  rela- 
tionship to  the  audiovisual  field.  His  experience 
gives  him  a  qualifying  vantage  point  to  speak  or 
write  on  practically  any  phase  of  the  field;  and 
whenever  he  does,  it  is  practical. 

This  leaves  but  two  of  our  editors  with  vantage 
points  undescribed. 

Enid  ("Micky")  Stearn,  managing  editor,  has 
but  recently  come  to  the  audiovisual  field,  and 
soon  the  field  will  be  coming  to  her.  Already 
she  is  managing  to  put  together  a  magazine  that 
is  improving  with  each  issue;  and  she  is  manag- 
ing to  get  it  to  the  printer  and  you  on  time. 

Now,  from  my  vantage  point  as  the  Director 
of  Instructional  Materials  in  the  Rochester,  New 
York,  school  system,  and  as  "we,"  the  editor,  I 
know  what  it  means  to  you  in  the  audiovisual 
field  that  we  have  the  editorial  staff  we  do. 
We're  proud  of  these  people.

Informal  Audiovisuals 

Can  Enrich 


6y  Dr.  R.  Boeke  T  JSUALLY  we  are  so  busy  seek- 
Pastor,  Dutch  Protestant  League,  ^^  ing  audiovisual  aids  for  OUr 
Rotterdam,  Holland  Christian  teaching  that  we  pay  too 
little  attention  to  the  materials 
around  us  which  (can)  illustrate 
the  life  and  practice  of  other  faiths 
and  religions. 

Preoccu])ied  with  our  preaching 
and  church  activities,  we  cannot 
roam  around  seeking  examples  of 
devotion  in  other  fields.  Many  of 
the  objects  which  could  instruct  us 
are  in  foreign  countries.  These  may 
be  difficult  to  come  by,  but  right 
close  to  home  we  can  find  useful 
things.  Many  teachers  have  given  > 
no  thought  to  these. 

It  is  important  to  get  informa- 
tion about  religious  life  and  prac- 
tices not  our  own;  to  go  beyond  our 
own  well-known  customs  and  forms. 
Thus,  for  the  jjeople  of  Holland, 
the  American  way  of  church  life 
may  seem  strange.  We  are  not  used 
to  flags  in  churches  and  to  choirs 
in  vestments.  On  the  other  hand,  a 
recording  of  a  church  service  in 
some  part  of  Europe  may  sound 
very  strange  to  American  ears. 

There  are,  of  coinse,  quite  a 
number  of  motion  pictures  show- 
ing religious  ceremonies.  When  the 
new  Pope  is  crowned,  all  the  world 
sees  it  in  cinema.  Well  known  to 
many  screen  viewers  here  and 
abroad    are    film    pictures    of    the

Religious  Understanding 


progress  of  the  state  of  Israel.  Some 
of  these  show  aspects  of  religious 
life. 

But,  when  more  specific  infor- 
mation is  wanted,  we  need  to  give 
special  attention  to  this  subject, 
and  we  will  often  be  amazed  to 
liscover  how  plentiful  illustrative 
material  really  is. 

When  in  the  United  States  I  had 
a  unique  opportimity  along  these 
lines.  In  so  many  cities  I  found 
religious  communities  with  their 
origins  in  foreign  and  distant 
lands.  Often  they  were  ancient. 
From  members  of  such  groups  I 
2;ot  valuable  and  reliable  informa- 
tion. Thus,  I  gained  a  new  outlook 
in  their  worship  and  customs. 
Often  I  was  given  permission  to 
take  photographs,  At  other  times  I 
foimd  stocks  of  pictures  for  sale 
ind  for  lending. 

Places  of  worship  are  visual  aids 
:o  knowledge.  They  may  be  close 
3y,  if  you  will  but  seek  them  out. 
In  New  York  and  San  Francisco 
md     other    cities     you     can     find 

hinese  temples.  Here  in  Holland 
'ou  can  visit  the  Mosque  at  The 
lague.  Synagogues  and  Jewish 
emples  can  be  found  in  many 
)laces.  Attendants  and  Rabbis  are 
dways  glad  to  show  you  The  Scroll 
)f  The  Law,  and  ceremonial  ob- 
ects.  Stained  glass  windows  speak 


to  all  who  can  "read"  them,  and 
they  will  tell  their  stories  to  all  who 
will  practice  reading  this  visual 
aid  to  religious  inspiration  and  un- 
derstanding. 

Shrines  and  museums  offer  visual 
aids  to  all  who  will  go  to  thein.  In 
Canada,  for  instance,  you  can  visit 
St.  Joseph's  oratory  in  Montreal.  In 
Toronto  there  is  an  immense  totem 
pole  sacred  to  the  Indians.  Here  in 
Holland  you  can  see  some  fine  ex- 
amples of  Buddha  images,  and  view 
treasures  from  ancient  Egypt  in  the 
Lyden  museum.  In  Germany,  at 
the  town  of  Marburg  in  Hesse,  in 
an  old  castle  atop  a  mountain  is  a 
great  collection  of  rare  models  of 
religious  life  and  manners  from 
all  over  the  world. 

Those  who  cannot  travel  afar 
may  make  discoveries  in  their  own 
neighborhoods.  Thus,  in  the  Grey- 
hound Bus  Station  in  Syracuse, 
N.  Y.,  I  came  upon  a  machine  dis- 
pensing coins  with  the  Lord's 
prayer  upon  them.  In  a  big  depart- 
ment store  I  saw  a  gieat  display  of 
rosaries,  crucifixes,  and  holy-water 
founts,  and  a  gilded  bracelet  em- 
blematic of  the  Ten  Command- 
ments. In  the  coat  lapel  of  my 
seat-mate  on  a  train  was  a  symbol 
of  the  Twelve  Tribes  of  Israel. 
Thus,  look  and  ye  shall  see! 

Some   may   wish   to  gather  such 


things  into  a  filmstrip;  others  into 
slides;  and  still  others  into  a  col- 
lection —  for  whatever  purpose  and 
use  they  have  in  mind.  If  this  is  too 
roundabout,  a  short-cut  will  be  to 
go  to  books  and  magazines  (such 
as  Life),  and  to  journals  of  re- 
ligion and  architecture.  A  wealth 
of  materials  awaits  you.  When  you 
select  and  put  them  together,  be 
attentive  to  contrast  and  climax; 
and  as  you  work  at  it  you  will  be 
stimulated  and  gratified. 

Or,  if  you  tire  of  the  visual,  you 
can  tmn  to  the  auditory.  Try 
Handel's  "Largo,"  or  some  Christ- 
mas carols,  or  a  disc  of  the  liturgy 
of  the  Community  of  Taixe  in 
France.  Or,  listen  to  the  call  ol  a 
muezzin  from  a  minaret  high  over 
a  Mosque.  Thus  in  all  these  ways, 
and  many  more,  visual  and  audio 
aids  can  enrich  and  broaden  your 
religious  understanding.

by  Film  Productions  International. 


TpHE  religious  film  librarian 
knows  from  experience  that  the 
coming  of  Lent  brings  with  it  the 
biggest  peak  in  church  use  of  mo- 
tion pictures  and  other  audi.ovisu- 
ais.  In  times  past,  when  suitable 
subjects  were  few  and  prints  there- 
of still  fewer,  this  was  a  time  of 
great  frustration  for  the  librarian 
who  sought  to  meet  this  seasonal 
demand.  Today  there  is  an  almost 
infinite  variety  of  suitable  films 
and  filmstrips,  slides  and  recordings 
as  well  as  a  more  nearly  adequate 
supply  of  copies  of  all  but  the  ex- 
tremely costly  highly  seasonal  sub- 
jects. 

Ch  urches  have  developed  a 
broader  range  of  demand  also. 
While  interest  in  Biblical  subjects 
still  ranks  first,  there  is  an  increas- 
ing tendency  to  supplement  this 
type  of  demand  by  use  of  materials 
stressing  application  of  the  teach- 
ings of  Jesus  and  personal  dedica- 
tion to  His  work.  In  our  own 
church,  for  instance,  there  will  be 
a  series  of  six  week-night  supper 
meetings,  followed  by  a  45-minute 
period  devoted  to  the  showing  and 
discussion  of  a  film  on  the  general 
theme  of  "Facing  Your  Day-to-Day 
Problems  as  a  Christian."  Individ- 
ual topics,  a  different  one  each 
week,  include  Christian  attitude 
and  behavior  on  the  job,  in  the 
home,  the  church,  in  leisure  pur- 
suits, in  decision  making,  and  on 


the  part  of  youth.  This  discussion 
continues  until  it  is  time  for  the 
evening  worship  service. 

In  another  local  church  a  similar 
series  of  family  nights  is  given  over 
to  a  film  and  discussion  of  selected 
Biblical  "incidents"  in  the  life  of 
Christ.  There  is  a  wide  choice  of 
materials  for  this  type  of  program 
in  the  extensive  series  produced  by 
Family  Films  (The  Living  Bible), 
Cathedral  Films  (Living  Christ), 
the  Concordia  filmstrips  and  others. 

Today  no  church  worker  need  be 
at  a  loss  to  know  what  materials 
are  available  for  almost  any  pur- 
pose in  the  total  work  of  the  church 
—  nor  of  where  and  how  to  get 
them.  In  and  around  Chicago,  for 
example,  there  are  at  least  20 
sources  engaged  in  renting  religious 
films,  and  in  many  instances  also 
in  the  sale  of  low  cost  audiovisuals, 
such  as  filmstrips,  slides  and  record- 
ings. Well-qualified  audiovisual 
dealers  stand  ready  to  demonstrate, 
counsel  and  sell  any  item  of  equip- 
ment a  church  may  need. 

Any  active  religious  film  library 
has  descriptive  catalogs  and  other 
material  that  not  only  list  titles  and 
prices  but  offer  many  useful  sug- 
gestions on  utilization.  The  lead- 
ing film  producers  offer  utilization 
aids  and  descriptive  lists  of  their 
materials  keyed  into  the  church 
calendar.  These  are  obtainable 
without   charge   either   from    local 


rental  libraries  or  direct  from  tW 
source.  Denominational,  interde 
nominational  and  commercial  li 
braries  offer  joint  access  to  prodi 
ucts  from  numerous  sources. 

Especially  in  meeting  peak  seai 
sonal  demand,  such  as  that  durinj 
Lent,  libraries  are  known  to  serv^ 
one  another's  customers  so  that  al 
locally  available  resources  will  b 
in  use.  Producers  make  reservn 
stocks  of  seasonal  subjects  availabl 
to  libraries  all  over  the  country  tii 
help  take  care  of  seasonal  peaks. 

As  in  many  other  fields,  the  mai 
jor  hurdle  between  user  and  sourc 
is  that  of  communication.  A  filni 
rental  catalog  must  get  to  the  righ 
person,  at  the  right  time,  so  that  h 
can  order  the  right  film,  from  th 
right  source,  and  use  it  right,  fo 
the  right  purpose.  Catalogs  alon 
are  not  enough.  A  "new"  catalog  il 
usually  out  of  date  even  before  i 
goes  to  press. 

Denominational  p  u  b  1  i  s  h  i  n  : 
houses  play  a  major  role  in  keep 
ing  their  affiliated  churches  ir 
formed  of  audiovisuals  that  corrt

and  their  curriculum  time  table 
Religious  and  audiovisual  maga 
zines  publish  monthly  lists  of  ne\ 
materials,  as  well  as  reviews,  usuall 
constructively  critical,  and  utiliza 
tion  suggestions. 

Local  councils  of  churches  ca^ 
do  much  to  acquaint  their  membe 
congregations  with  what  audiovif 
uals  are  available  and  how  to  us 
them  to  strengthen  their  ciiurche; 
In  The  Church  Federation  o

Visual  Committee  attached  to  the 
Department  of  Christian  Educa- 
tion. Among  its  activities  is  an  AV 
Preview  Evening,  held  monthly 
downtown  in  the  Chicago  Temple, 
where  the  Federation's  offices  also 
are  located.  An  approximately  21/2- 
hour  program  of  motion  pictures 
and  other  new  materials  is  shown 
on  a  theme  usually  dated  a  month 
in  advance  of  major  emphases  or 
calendar  divisions.  Thus,  in  Janu- 
ary, the  theme  was  "Brotherhood," 
February  "Lent  and  Easter,"  March 
"God  and  His  Word,"  April  "Fam- 
ily Life  and  Mental  Health,"  May 
"Summer  Activities  and  Camping." 
.\s  part  of  the  Federation's  centen- 
nary  observance,  the  June  theme 
will  be  "A  Century  of  Audio-Vis- 
uals." In  other  cities,  such  as  Mil- 
waukee for  instance,  similar  pe- 
riodical previews  are  sponsored 
and  arranged  by  some  especially 
active  film  library. 

However  the  group  is  brought 
together,  this  meeting  of  supplier 
and  user  is  of  major  mutual  bene- 
fit. Each  learns  the  needs  and  prob- 
lems of  the  other.  Both  have  a 
:hance  really  to  look  at  the  new 
Dfferings  that  producers  will  as  a 
rule  submit  without  rental  cost  or 
jbligation.  A  lively  moderator  can 
ipark  an  intensely  interesting  and 
productive  a  u d i  e  n c e-participation 
experience.  Such  previews  can 
jsually  be  arranged  at  surprisingly 
nodest  expense,  in  a  well-located 
Jiurch  or  in  a  dealer  or  library 
projection  room.  The  principal  cost 
)f  this  type  of  communication  proj- 
ect is  for  — communication!

How 

to 

Plan 

Film 

Series 


by  Eunice  Schmidt 

Visual  Aids  Department, 

Baptist  Book  Store, 

Oklahoma  City. 


fjLANNING  the  use  of  films  in 
*^  series  is  more  than  possible.  It 
is  practical.  Denominational  plan- 
ning is  done  in  one-year,  three-year, 
and  four-year  cycles.  Bible  teaching 
is  generally  planned  on  the  basis 
of  a  three-month  quarter. 


Mid-Week  Series.  Some  years  ago 
a  pastor  in  Southern  Oklahoma  be- 
came alarmed  about  how  few  peo- 
ple came  to  the  mid-week  service. 
I  suggested  a  Bible  study  series: 
the  Bible  is  central,  people  want 
to  hear  what  God's  word  has  to 
say,  they  want  help  in  finding  His 
will  for  their  lives. 

This  pastor  set  up  t  series: 
"What  Does  God's  Word  Say  to 
Me?"  Cathedral's  12  filmstiijjs  in 
black  and  white.  The  Life  of  St. 
Paul,  became  the  heart  of  the  study. 
His  own  narrations,  timed  to  20 
minutes,  were  recorded  on  tape. 
For  this  he  did  research  and  study, 
which  paid  off.  Years  later  people 
were  still  talking  aboiu  how  much 
they  learned  from  this  series.  They 
had  both  seen  and  heard.  Paul  be- 
came alive  to  them.  Church  his- 
tory was  vital. 

Life  Of  Christ  Series.  We  have 
urged  pastors  to  use  the  Church- 
Craft  Life  of  Christ  filmstrips. 
There  are  24  in  this  series,  all  in 
color.  Many  pastors  begin  this  mid- 
week study  in  December,  with 
prophecies  of  the  coming  of  the 
Messiah,  and  continue  to  Easter. 
Of  course  selections  must  be  made. 
Some  pastors  have  set  up  short 
series  on  the  Miracles  or  the  Par- 
ables. Using  this  audiovisual  re- 
source, individual  preferences  and 
needs  can  be  met. 

Old  Testament  Series.  In  this  area 
of  the  Bible,  series  have  been  built 
on  such  themes  as  "Great  Men  of 
the  O.  T.,"  and  "How  God  Spoke 
To  Men  In  O.  T.  Times."  Other 
pastors  have  developed  series  on 
"The  Life  of  Moses,"  "The  Life 
of  Joseph,"  and  on  "The  Prophets 
and  Their  Problems."  Then  as  now 
people  had  deep  spiritual  and  po- 
litical problems. 

For  Youth.  Young  people  are  con- 
fronted with  questions  of  right  and 
wrong.  Church  counsellors  of  youth, 
and  adults,  have  found  answers  to 
many  profound  religious  and  moral 
questions  in  the  "Living  Bible" 
series  of  motion  pictures.  Jesus, 
Lord  of  the  Sabbath  can  lead  a 
group  into  a  discussion  of  the  uses 
and  abuses  of  this  day  in  our  times. 
Jesus  Teaches  Forgiveness  can  crack 
open  the  subject  of  forgiveness  and 
getting  and  receiving  it  — from 
God,  parents,  and  friends.  Jesus 
and  the  Lepers  has  a  lot  to  say  on 
kindness  and  the  grace  of  thank- 
fulness. Thirty  Pieces  of  Silver  can 
be  used  to  ask,  on  what  values  are 
you  building  your  life?;  or,  was  the 


motive  of  Judas  dastardly  or  dis- 
torted? 

Old  Testament  Films.  Concordia's 
Old  Testament  motion  pictures  are 
being  used  in  many  ways  by  our 
customers.  Some  relate  them  to  the 
O.T.  curriculum  unit.  They  are 
geared  to  the  lessons  Simday  iiy 
Sunday.  Another  church  used  them 
with  the  young  people  on  Sunday 
morning  in  a  series,  "Men  Led  By 
God."  A  men's  club  used  them  in 
a  "Great  Men  of  The  Bible"  series. 
In  a  rural  church,  they  were  used, 
one  every  two  weeks,  in  a  series  of 
devotional  services  to  bring  drama 
and  climax  to  each. 

With  Children.  Our  users  have  re- 
lated the  "Our  Children"  series  by 
Family  Films  to  their  work  with 
problem  children  and  teenagers. 
These  15-ininute  films  ask  and  an- 
swer questions  effectively.  They  are 
so  specific  that  all  sorts  of  series  can 
be  arranged  with  them.  The  same 
applies  to  the  Moody  "Bible  .'Adven- 
ture" series.  The  problem  is  in 
seeing  the  series  possibilities  in 
such  materials.  This  is  where  I  can 
help  my  customers,  by  passing  along 
what  others  have  done  with  them. 
This,  however,  is  no  substitute  for 
each  one  doing  his  own  thinking 
and  planning. 

The  central  theme  of  a  series 
gives  direction.  It  concentrates  in- 
terest. It  increases  impact.  It  makes 
for  more  work,  and  yet  it  may  even 
mean  less  work  in  terms  of  the  re- 
sults obtained.  When  we  show  as 
well  as  tell  what  the  Bible  has  to 
say,  we  are  working  with  the  grain 
of  the  mind,  not  against  it.  This 
seeing  and  hearing  is  just  about  the 
"universal  language." 

Teacher  Training.  Many  churches 
have  used  the  "Teacher  Improve- 
ment" series  of  the  Southern  Bap- 
tists. It  is  practical,  yet  based  on 
sound  educational  and  spiritual 
principles.  Family  Filmstrips,  Inc. 
is  about  to  bring  out  a  7>aining 
Kit.  This  unit  of  four  sound  film- 
strips  ought  to  fill  a  real  need  in 
motivating  the  use  of  audio  and 
visual  materials  in  the  local  church, 
and  in  showing  just  how  it  is  done. 
Moody  has  a  series  on  "Know 
Your  Child."  Every  teacher  will 
find  it  useful  in  deepening  her  un- 
derstanding of  what  the  child  is 
like  in  his  stages  of  growth.  Par- 
ents, too,  need  to  be  instructed  by 
this  series.  Here  and  diere  church 
leaders  will  see  the  enormous  value 
of  these  series.  In  them  much  of  the 
planning  has  been  done.  It  is  use 
that  is  left  to  us.

==s  Questions  on  facts. 


Questions  on  central  truths, 

Scores  for  Three  Religious  Films 


IT  is  impossible  to  make  an  effec- 
tive study-guide  without  first 
testing  the  materials  with  the  age 
or  interest-group  for  which  the  film 
was  prepared! . 

In  two  successive  summers  the 
author  has  tested  the  effectiveness 
ol  three  Bible  films  used  with  two 
separate  groups  of  junior-age 
(grades  4,  5,  6)  boys  and  girls. 
There  were  75  juniors  in  the  first 
group  and  132  in  the  second  group. 
While  all  juniors  did  not  take  all 
the  tests,  some  450  test  papers  were 
evaluated.  The  tests  were  given  un- 
der similar  conditions  in  actual 
teaching  situations.  Factual  ques- 
tions, and  questions  relating  to  the 
central  truths  of  the  films,  were 
asked.  No  thought  was  given  to 
compiling  the  information  in  re- 
port form  until  after  the  scores 
revealed  some  alarming  informa- 
tion Here  are  some  of  my  conclu- 
sions. 

Unlearning.  A  film  on  Samson,  in 
addition  to  dramatizing  the  story, 
specifically  attributed  Samson's 
strength  to  God;  yet  only  13  of 
140  pupils  caught  the  significance 
of  this.  Most  of  the  127  who  an- 
swered incorrectly  said  Samson's 
strength  came  from  his  long  hair. 
Similar  responses  in  similar  films 
indicate  that  mucli  mjormation 
which  has  been  learned  in  previous 
years  must  be  unlearned  if  teach- 
ing with  films  is  to  be  effective. 


Prior  Teachings.  After  seeing  a  film 
on  the  call  of  Moses,  the  boys  and 
grls  were  asked,  "How  can  you  find 
out  what  God  wants  you  to  do  or  to 
be?"  The  film  gave  two  answers  — 
prayer  and  Bible  reading.  Of  the 
60  juniors  tested,  47  percent  gave 
prayer  alone  as  the  answer,  25  per- 
cent gave  Bible  reading  alone,  and 
15  percent  mentioned  both  Bible 
reading  and  prayer. 

The  neglected  emphasis  on  Bible 
reading  in  previous  training  may 
have  been  responsible  for  the  low 
scores.  Would  we  not  be  safe  in 
concluding  that  in  cases  where  pre- 
vious training  has  emphasized  only 
one  of  two  associated  truths,  the 
retention  value  of  the  less  familiar 
idea  is  reduced? 

Drama  is  Not  Enough.  Of  a  group 
of  66  juniors  who  saw  a  film  per- 
taining to  Naaman,  only  40  percent 
could  answer  this  question  on  the 
central  truth:  "Why  did  Naaman 
hesitate  to  do  what  the  prophet  told 
him  to  do?"  Only  44  percent  could 
make  the  application  implied  in, 
"Why  do  so  many  people  hesitate 
to  believe  on  Jesus?"  We  may  con- 
clude that  dramatization  and  state- 
ment of  central  truths  do  not  neces- 
sarily guarantee  assimilation. 

First  Fact  Sticks.  In  the  film  pre- 
senting the  story  of  Samson,  defini- 
tions were  given,  in  quick  succes- 
sion, of  a  Nazarite  and  a  Philistine. 


Sixty-four  percent  of  140  juniors 
answered  the  first  factual  question 
correctly,  but  only  39  percent  could 
define  a  Philistine.  It  is  concluded 
that  in  the  presentation  of  facts  in 
quick  succession  the  first  fact  pre- 
sented is  apt  to  have  more  reten- 
tion value  than  subsequent  facts. 
In  this  case  the  subsequent  fact 
was  relatively  unimportant  but  the 
results  would  have  been  similar  if 
the  fact  had  been  vitally  important. 

Film  Effectiveness  Varies.  It  is  evi- 
dent that  similar  films  with  similar 
formats  may  vary  in  their  effec- 
tiveness. The  acconipanying  graph 
shows  the  relative  effectiveness  of 
the  presentation  of  basic  factual 
material  and  central  truths  in  three 
films— A,  B,  and  C. 

It  will  be  noted  that  retention  of 
facts  is  considerably  better  than 
detection  of  central  truths.  Whether 
there  is  significance  in  the  parallel 
in  retention  of  facts  and  central 
truths  might  be  debatable.  How- 
ever, on  the  basis  of  the  450  tests 
used  in  this  study,  it  seems  that 
weakness  or  strength  in  one  area 
indicates  a  corresponding  rating  in 
other  areas. 

No  film  is  pedagogically  perfect, 
and  in  the  hands  of  a  poor  teacher 
it  becomes  even  less  perfect.  Film 
effectiveness  could  be  improved  by 
use  of  guides  based  upon  a  testing 
program  involving  the  age  group 
for  whom  the  films  are  designed.

Not  Born 


A  brief  history  of  the  use  of  AV  in  the  churches. 


"DiBLICAL  subjects  are  alwayi 
JD  difficult  to  photograph,  since 
theologians  are  quick  to  detect 
flaws  in  text  matter  and  misinter- 
pretations of  commonly  accepted 
versions  of  Biblical  events,  varied 
according  to  denomination  and 
personal  opinion."  This  quotation 
might  have  come  from  the  new  4th 
Edition  of  the  Audio-Visual  Re- 
sources Guide,  just  off  the  press. 
It  is  taken,  instead,  from  the  lauda- 
tory evaluation  of  a  new  motion 
picture,  "Creation,"  in  the  maga- 
zine Reel  and  Slide,  July,  1919. 

The  debate  between  strict  Scrip- 
tural adherence  and  interpolation 
apparently  was  not  born  yesterday. 
In  this  three-reeler  produced  by 
Atlas  Educational  Film  Company, 
of  Oak  Park,  Illinois,  for  Lutheran 
Churches  of  America  (sic),  a  com- 
promise was  apparently  sought.  In 
his  scenario,  the  Rev.  O.  Hagedorn, 
Milwaukee  clergyman,  embellished 
the  story  "taken  almost  literally 
from  the  first  two  chapters  of 
Genesis"  with  some  highly  dra- 
matic episodes  not  found  in  the 
Bible.  Abel's  "devotion  to  one  of 
his  younger  sisters"  sets  in  motion 
a  chain  of  envy  that  contributes 
materially  to  the  murder.  He  makes 
the  mistake  of  giving  one  sister  a 
necklace  he  has  made  of  shells;  the 
other  steals  it  from  her  and  "with 
feline  cleverness  the  guilty  one  con- 
fides to  Cain  that  Abel  is  unkind 
to  her.  .  ."  thus  fanning  "the  al- 
ready burning  flame  of  hatred  he 
bears  his  brother."  "The  hate 
which  fills  his  heart  acted  as  a  bar 
to  his  sacrifice  being  accepted  by 
the  Lord"  we  are  told. 

Special  interest  in  early  develop- 
ments of  audiovisuals  for  church 
use  was  stimulated  by  prepara- 
tions for  the  observance  of  the 
centennary  of  the  Church  Federa- 
tion of  Greater  Chicago.  The  city's 


leading  status  as  a  center  of  manu- 
facture, production  and  distribu- 
tion of  projection  equipment  and 
materials  was  established  at  a  very 
early  date.  Looking  backward,  the 
Audio-Visual  Committee  of  the 
Federation's  Department  of  Chris- 
tian Education  found  historical 
background  of  considerable  inter- 
est. Looking  forward,  it  has  won 
support  for  its  proposal  for  a  sur- 
vey of  present  and  potential  AV 
activities  of  the  numerous  federa- 
tion departments  with  a  view  to  the 
establishment  of  a  central  audio- 
visual agency,  with  adequate  pro- 
fessional personnel,  that  would 
serve  the  total  work  of  the  Federa- 
tion in  all  its  ramifications,  very 
much  as  is  done  in  such  bodies  as 
the  National  Education  Associa- 
tion, and  the  medical  and  similar 
professional   organizations. 

Until  just  before  the  turn  of  the 
century  it  seems  evident  that  Chi- 
cago area  churches,  like  the  schools, 
made  use  of  flat  pictures,  stereo- 
graphs and  "Magic  Lantern"  slide 
projection.  This  was  just  about  the 
extent  of  visualization  then. 

These  glass  slides  came  in  many 
sizes,  they  were  often  hand-colored, 
and  in  some  cases  involved  ingeni- 
ous tricks  to  create  an  illusion  of 
motion.  Actually  today's  motion 
picture  is  itself  an  illusion  of  mo- 
tion, each  frame  stationary  on  the 
screen,  but  shown  in  such  rapid 
sequence  that  the  eye  cannot  erase 
one  image  before  it  is  modified  by 
the  next.  A*  far  back  as  1870  "mov- 
ing" pictures  of  acrobats  and  danc- 
ers were  shown  in  a  church  Men's 
Club  by  means  of  glass  slides  pro- 
jected in  rapid  sequence.  At  least 
as  far  back  as  1902  central  slide 
sets  began  to  be  established;  the 
Methodists',  under  Dr.  S.  Earl  Tay- 
lor, numbering  over  60,000.  The 
glass  slide  developed  to  the  point 


where  it  was  shown  outdoors  on  a 
screen  100  feet  wide  (at  the  Meth- 
odist Centennary  Convention  in 
1919). 

Slide  lanterns  used  lime-light, 
kerosene,  carbon-arcs  and  finally 
incandescent  lamps  as  illuminants. 
The  "Optigraph,"  one  of  the  ear- 
liest motion  picture  projectors, 
manufactured  in  Chicago,  was 
frankly  an  attachment  to  a  "Magic 
Lantern"  lamphouse.  The  1898 
Sears-Roebuck  catalog  devotes  an 
entire  page  to  the  idea  that  by 
investing  §35  for  the  machine  ($20 
extra  if  with  lamphouse)  and  a 
modest  sum  for  50-foot  film  sub- 
jects run  at  40-frames-a-second,  an 
"operator"  could  earn  from  $20  to 
$50  every  evening.  The  films  were 
silent,  so  each  was  accompanied  by 
a  complete  descriptive  script  "in- 
terspersed with  witty  jokes  and 
funny  sayings." 

Motion  pictures  were  originally 
all  short  incidents  with  novelty  as 
their  chief  appeal.  Among  the  first 
to  break  through  the  short  reel 
barrier  were  five  different  "Passion 
Play"  productions  made  respective- 
ly in  Bohemia,  Manhattan,  Phila- 
delphia, and  in  the  Holy  Land. 

Chicago  at  the  time  was  second 
to  none  in  film  production  and 
distribution,  as  well  as  in  projector 
and  camera  manufacture.  The 
leading  nontheatrical  field  maga- 
zines. Reel  and  Slide  (1918),  Mo- 
tion Picture  Age  (1919),  Visual 
Education  (1920),  and  The  Educa- 
tional Screen  (1922)  were  all  pub- 
lished here.  Their  files  disclose 
some  very  interesting  religious  film 
production  ventures,  such  as  the 
one  detailed  at  the  start. 

Another    example    seen    in    the  ■ 
first     missionary      film      produced 
(1919)  by  the  Presbyterian   Board 
of  Foreign   Missions,    1813  Stevens 
Building,  Chicago,  is  described  by

by  William  F.  Kruse 

Archivist,  N.E.A.  Department  of 
Audio-Visual  Instruction 


its  Central  District  Secretary,  the 
Rev.  Charles  E.  Bradt.  "The 
Problems  of  Pin-Hole  Parish"  cost 
$10,000  to  make;  its  six  reels  could 
be  shown  either  at  one  sitting,  as  a 
feature,  or  serially  in  six  chapters, 
preferably  at  a  Church  Missionary 
Institute  lasting  several  days.  Four- 
teen clergymen  were  members  of 
the  cast,  1 1  of  them  from  Chicago 
and  Evanston.  Mr.  Bradt  played 
the  lead  —  a  narrow-visioned  new 
pastor  who  opposes  missionary  ac- 

ivity  because  he  feels  he  has  better 
use  lor  the  money  at  home  but  who 
is  shown  the  error  of  his  ways  by 
his  own  wife. 

"A  six-reel  movie  .  .  .  showing 
how  a  men's  Bible  class  rejuvenated 
a  church"  was  shown  to  delegates 
from  various  such  classes  on  April 
12,  1919,  according  to  Dr.  Robert 
R.  Biggar,  of  the  Cook  County 
Sunday  School  Association.  He  dis- 
puted a  statement  by  Prof.  E.  W. 
Burgess  of  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago to  the  effect  that  the  movie 
had  displaced  the  church  as  a  major 
influence  on  child  life,  and  urged 

unning  "rival  movie  attractions  in 

he  churches  on  weekday  nights." 
Bishop  Samuel  Fellows  also  ques- 
tioned the  charge  and  is  quoted: 
"As  to  the  presenting  of  movies  by 
the  church,  that  is  all  right  in 
theory,  on  week  nights,  but  requires 
more  funds  than  many  churches 
have." 

Early  reports  on  church  use  of 
films  seem  to  indicate  that  rather 
than  cost  money,  motion  pictures 
were  intended   to  make  it  for  the 

:hurch.    Either   directly,    as    for    a 

:hurch  building  fund  in  Peoria,  or 
by  increased  attendance.  An  in- 
Tease  of  500  percent  was  credited 

o  film  showings  by  Rev.  G.  H. 
Ashworth,  Sycamore,  111.  Con- 
versely, the  Rev.  W.  C.  Godsell  was 

eportedly     made     to     resign     his

pastorate  in  the  Westfield,  Illinois 
Congregational  Church,  on  the 
groinid  that  his  showing  films 
taught  the  boys  ot  the  church  to 
"enuilate  cowboys." 

In  19;{7  the  International  Coun- 
cil on  Religious  Education  set  up 
a  committee  on  audiovisual  educa- 
tion and  ran  a  workshop  at  the 
19;i8  Quadrennial  Convention. 
Three  years  later  an  AV  depart- 
ment was  iormally  constituted,  the 
expenses  for  the  first  three  years 
being  paid  by  the  Harmon  Founda- 
tion. Rev.  William  L.  Rogers— orig- 
inally on  the  Harmon  staff— headed 
the  dcpai  iment  until  1912,  when  he 
moved  to  New  York  to  manage  the 
newly  lormed  Religious  Film  Asso- 
ciation. His  place  was  taken  by 
Dr.  Mary  Leigh  Palmer,  under 
whose  direction  the  first  Interna- 
tional Workshop  in  Religious 
Audio-Visual  Education  was  held  — 
at  North  Park  College  —  with  25 
states  and  Canada  represented  by 
members  ol  25  denominations. 

It  was  subsequently  held  at  Lake 
Geneva  and  then  at  Green  Lake, 
Wisconsin.  Miss  Pearl  Rosser 
headed  the  department,  now  Dept. 
of  Audio-Visual  and  Broadcast 
Education,  Nati<mal  Council  of 
Churches,  until  headcjuarters  were 
moved  from  Chicago  to  New  York, 
whereupon  she  became  the  first  di- 
rector of  radio  and  TV  for  The 
Church  Federation  of  Greater 
Chicago. 

In  no  way  can  the  growth  ot 
service  of  audiovisuals  in  the  work 
ol  the  church  be  measured  as  effec- 
tively as  by  the  phenomenal  ex- 
pansion of  film  and  other  resources 
available  to  the  religious  worker. 
In  1909  George  Kleine's  "Catalog 
of  1000  Educational  Films"  listed 
only  27  "religious"  titles;  in  1942 
(he  first  Religious  Films  Associa- 
tion catalog  listed  250;  in  1958  the 
National  Council's  "Audio-Visual 
Resources  Guide"  classifies,  de- 
scribes and  evaluates  more  than 
2,500  AV  items  previously  evalu- 
ated by  local  committees. 

This  is  not  merely  a  numerical 
growth.  In  the  early  days  a  lone 
cameraman  could  go  forth  and 
make  his  own  idea  of  a  religious 
film  single-handed;  today  profes- 
sional studios,  skilled  writers,  theo- 
logical consultants  and  exjjerienced 
(inricidum  utilization  staffs  com- 
bine their  skills.  The  hand-made 
glass  slide  ol  old  has  been  aug- 
mented by  conmumication  tools  too 
luunerous  to  count  — films,  slides, 
iccords,  tapes,  transparencies,  ra- 
dio, TV  and  many  more.  The  seed 
ol  the  AV  pioneers  has  truly 
lirought  forth   boimteous  fruits.

Films  Represent  America  Abroad! 


This  article  appeared  under  the  title,  ^'■Influence  of  American  Films 
Abroad,"  in  the  Christmas  issue  of  the  BFC  NEWS,  publication  of 
the  Broadcasting  and  Film  Commission  of  the  National  Council  of 
Churches  of  Christ  in  the  U.S.A.  It  ivas  taken  from  a  report  of  a 
committee  appointed  by  an  agency  of  the  American  Baptist  Conven- 
tion, which  has  accepted  it. 


TWO  years  ago,  at  the  meeting 
of  the  American  Baptist  Con- 
vention in  Seattle,  a  resolution  was 
offered  from  the  floor  concerning 
the  inlluence  of  American  motion 
pictures  abroad.  It  was  referred  for 
study  to  the  Convention's  Council 
on  Christian  Social  Progress.  After 
two  years  of  study,  the  Council  has 
now  made  its  report. 

The  resolution  which  was  re- 
ferred for  study  read:  "Some  mo- 
tion pictures  which  are  sent  abroad 
are  a  libel  on  the  ideals  of  the 
American  way  of  life  and  often  are 
also  highly  salacious  and  sordid. 
l>ecause  of  this,  we  respectfully 
urge  our  government  conscien- 
tiously to  censor  all  ,\merican  pic- 
tmes  sent  abroad  and  thus  imple- 
ment every  effort  being  made  to 
establish  an  influence  toward  de- 
cency in  the  entertainment  world 
and  also  to  show  the  wholesome, 
finer  side  of  life  in  the  United 
States  of  America." 

The  Council  dealt  first  with  the 
issue  of  censorship.  "Any  resolution 
calling  for  censorship,"  it  said,  "ap- 
pears as  a  threat  to  freedom.  As 
Americans  we  treasure  highly  the 
freedoms  enjoyed  imder  the  Con- 
stitution. To  censor  is  to  suppress. 
If  we  must  choose  between  the  free- 
dom to  propagandize  and  a  totali- 
tarian control  of  the  channels  of 
communication,  we  will  choose 
freedom  with  its  risks  rather  than 
censorship  with  its  possibilities  of 
enslavement." 

In  its  report  the  Council  goes 
on  to  say  "It  is  also  evident  that  a 
number  of  good  films  are  sent 
abroad,  films  that  depict  our  demo- 
cratic institutions  at  work,  films 
that  entertain  without  offense,  films 
that  show  the  struggles  and  hopes 
of  all  people.  Yet,  these  values  to  a 
considerable  extent,  are  negated, 
according  to  reports,  by  an  undesir- 
able emi^hasis  on  the  material  pros- 
perity of  our  country,  the  "typing" 


of  racial  groups,  the  excessive  use 
of  alcoholic  beverages,  the  ridicul- 
ing of  courts  of  justice  and  law 
enforcement  agencies,  the  over- 
emphasis on  crime  and  the  display  • 
of  sexual  vulgarity. 

"These  deplorable  exaggerations 
are  no  cause  for  self-righteousness 
on  our  part.  We  must  see  them  first 
as  a  reflection  of  admitted  moral 
weakness  in  our  culture.  We  must 
face  the  fact  that  motion  pictures 
do  reflect  what  is  evil  and  shallow- 
in  American  life.  Here  the  indict- 
ment is  upon  us.  We  cannot  expect 
to  hide  our  sins  from  our  foreign 
neighbors.  Yet,  the  frequent  dra- 
matizing of  those  weaknesses  on  the 
screen  has  left  the  imintended  im- 
pression that  they  represent  a  typ- 
ical America.  There  is  lacking 
sufficient  emphasis  on  the  whole- 
some aspects  of  our  culture. 

"There  is  also  the  problem  in 
any  medium  of  mass  communica- 
tion of  being  misunderstood  in 
moving  from  one  cultural  context 
to  another.  Even  where  films  are 
intended  to  expose  social  evils  of 
our  country,  there  is  a  lack  of  per- 
spective when  they  are  viewed  in 
another  setting.  Differences  of  back- 
ground and  custom  accoimt  in  part 
for  the  offense  which  some  motion 
pictines  bring  to  the  people  of 
other  cultures  in  the  following 
areas:  the  portrayal  of  promiscuous 
relations  between  the  sexes,  the  car- 
icaturing of  peoples  of  other 
races,  the  stressing  of  force  and  vio- 
lence and  the  exploiting  of  juvenile 
delincjuency. 

"On  what  basis  are  films  selected 
for  foreign  viewing?  For  the  most 
part  the  pictures  sent  abroad  are 
the  same  as  those  seen  in  the  United 
States.  The  only  selection  for  for- 
eign viewing  is  made  by  exhibitors 
and  theater  owners  abroad.  Accord- 
ing to  the  Motion  Picture  Associa- 
tion of  America,  theaters  abroad 
want  principally  the  pictures  that 


have  won  popularity  here.  This 
means  that  the  same  standards  and 
controls  for  the  production  of  mo- 
tion pictures  in  the  United  States 
determine  what  is  seen  abroad.  .  ." 

This  particular  study,  the  Coun- 
cil says,  "has  pointed  to  the  simple 
and    obvious    conclusion    that    the 
central     issue     is    the    quality    q^i^ 
American  films.  .  ." 

The  report  makes  seven  recom- 
mendations. Three  of  them  counsel 
further  study  and  recommend  that 
"steps  be  taken  to  effect  a  more 
positive  cooperation  with  the 
Broadcasting  and  Film  Commission 
of  the  National  Council  of 
Churches  and  other  church  related 
agencies  concerned  with  this  mat- 
ter." A  fourth  recommendation 
calls  on  the  American  Baptist  Con- 
vention "to  request  the  State  De- 
partment to  evaluate  the  effects  of 
motion  pictures  abroad  and  to  seek 
ways  of  correcting  any  destructive 
influences  such  motion  pictures 
may  have." 

The  three  remaining  recommen- 
dations are  that  American  Baptists 
"refuse  to  patronize  undesirable 
films  and  give  their  support  and 
commendation  to  the  best  produc- 
tions, stimulate  the  production  of 
better  films,  encouraging  creative 
writing  of  scripts  and  dramas," 
and  "to  encourage  a  wider  use  of 
suitable  audiovisual  materials  on 
foreign  mission  fields  for  enter- 
tainment as  well  as  lor  education 
and  evangelism." 

The  report  concludes  with  this 
timely  reminder: 

"The  influence  of  American 
movies  abroad  is  only  one  aspect 
of  a  larger  problem,  the  inlluence 
of  Americans  abroad.  .  .  .  The 
(juality  of  our  inlluence  is  seen  in 
every  expression  of  our  culture. 
Our  responsibility  is  to  exert  -a 
Christian  influence  on  every  expres- 
sion of  oiu'  living  l)oth  at  home 
:uul  abroad."

Preview  and  Selection 

There  are  seven  basic  steps  in  the 
utilization  of  a  filmstrip,  and  the  first 
is  selection  and  preview.  As  a  corner- 
post  to  a  fence,  so  is  it  to  the  other 
six  (study,  conference,  rehearsal,  pres- 
entation, follow-up,  and  evaluation). 

For  the  leader,  the  journey  will  be 
teaching;  for  the  child  it  will  be  learn- 
ing, and  the  first  step  is  Selection  and 
Preview.  Her  deepest  reward  will  be 
joy  in  seeing  the  tree  of  teaching  bear 
fruit;  for  the  pupils  it  will  be  the  joy 
which  comes  from  picking  the  fruit  of 
information  and  knowledge.  And,  all 
of  this  depends  upon  this  first  step  in 
the  seven-phase  teaching-learning  con- 
tinuum. 

Just  what  is  the  teacher  in  our  pic- 
ture doing?  Basically,  she  is  preview- 
ing filmstrips.  But  she  is  doing  more 
than  just  looking  at  filmstrips.  She  is 
working  with  a  view  toward  making  a 
selection.  Before  her  are  several  film- 
strips.  From  among  the  materials  avail- 
able she  must  make  a  selection. 

To  do  this  she  must  go  deeper  than 
the  titles.  She  must  go  beyond  what 
the  producer  says  about  his  materials, 
as  reliable  and  important  as  this  may 
be.  She  may  go  beyond  what  the 
AVRG  says.  (Of  course  it  can't  touch 
the  very  latest  materials,  hot  out  of 
the  lab.) 


f 


Teacher  previewing  filmstrips. 


In  this  previewing-with-a-view-to- 
selecting,  what  will  condition  her  final 
selection?  A  full  answer  would  require 
a  small  book!  Stripped  of  the  leaves, 
here  is  the  stem  of  the  matter:  she 
will  be  conditioned  by  her  total  ex- 
perience with  filmstrips,  by  her  knowl- 
edge of  the  medium  per  se,  by  what 
she  intends  to  do,  by  the  pupils  she 
is  going  to  do  it  to,  by  the  facilities 
and  equipment  available,  and  by  the 
range  of  the  materials  before  her  — 
and  many  other  factors.  Even  stripped, 
this  is  a  pretty  hefty  stemi 

Let  me  sort  out  one  or  two  of  these 
factors  for  special  attention  here: 
"range  of  materials"  and  "prior  expe- 
rience." For  you  these  may  not  be  the 
most  important.  I  highlight  them  be- 
cause they  tend  to  be  neglected. 

Range:  This  worker  will  not  use 
what  she  does  not  know  about.  That's 
basic.  In  this  case  she  will  not  use 
what  is  not  there.  Thus,  her  selection 
process  may  lack  range.  She  may  select 
eventually  what  fits  her  purposes  and 
her  pupils  poorly,  but  better  than  any 
other  material  before  her.  She  may 
wish  a  better  fit  to  her  specific  teach- 
ing objectives.  If  the  range  of  materials 
is  restricted,  she  may  be  defeated  in 
this  laudable  try. 

What  does  this  mean?  Certainly  at 
least  this:  churches  ought  to  provide 
as  much  range  in  their  materials  as 
possible.  Restricted  buying  may  seem 
the  best  policy,  but  is  it?  Now  and 
again  churches  want  to  buy  one  of  a 
series,  when  it  is  the  whole  series  that 
gets  the  subject  covered.  Frugality  can 
be  frustrating.  If  there  is  no  or  little 
choice,  how  can  selection  be  vital? 

Again,  it  means  that  some  of  our  best 
teachers  give  up.  They  just  won't  pull 
a  filmstrip  down  over  the  mind  of  a 
child  like  an  out-size  cap  over  his  ears. 
Primary  children  need  "clothes"  their 
size,  whether  garments  or  filmstrips. 
Your  careless  teachers  may  not  care; 
your  best  ones  will.  A  too-restricted 
filmstrip   library  may  eliminate   them. 

Experience:  This  is  the  private  and 
personal  and  powerful  context  of  the 
whole  situation.  If  your  teacher  has 
received  help,  guidance,  and  encour- 
agement,  this  has  qualified   her  expe- 


rience. But  even  more  basic  have  been 
the  concommitants  of  the  prior  teach- 
ing situations.  What  deposit  of  satis- 
faction or  dissatisfaction  was  left  bv 
the  last  use?  Many  things  enter  here, 
and  factors  will  vary  in  importance. 
For  many  teachers  it  will  be  inability 
to  handle  and  control  all  the  impor- 
tant physical  factors  of  the  teaching 
situation:  poor  equipment;  poor  black- 
out; poor  acoustics;  poor  screen;  poor 
projector  stand;  poor  play-back  —  poor! 
poor!  That  kills  teachers  off! 

Not-enough-time  gets  them  down, 
too.  First,  not  enough  time  is  allowed 
for  the  utilization;  and  second,  that 
precious  order  of  service  just  could 
not  be  changed!  At  the  climax,  inatten- 
tion held  every  one  in  its  grip.  The 
whole  performance  became  un-zip- 
pered,  spilling  all  over  the  place!  Too 
little  time!  Unless  teachers  are  given 
adequate  time  for  the  utilization  of 
filmstrips,  they  simply  carry  water  in 
a  sieve. 

Conclusion:  build  up  a  library  ade 
quate  to  your  needs  and  large  enough 
to  afford  your  teachers  some  real  range 
of  selection;  and,  watch  out  for  the 
things  which  are  determining  the  basic 
attitudes  of  your  teachers  toward  the 
whole  process  of  audio  and  visually 
enriched  education  in  church,  syna- 
gogue,  and   school.— WSH 


AV  Training  Kit 


For  some  time  we  have  needed  "a 
self  -  contained,  visualized  course  of 
study  dealing  with  the  principles  of 
audiovisual  methods  in  the  local 
church."  Along  about  1946  I  outlined 
for  Church  Management  a  course  of 
study  on  audiovisual  aids  for  ministers, 
and  at  that  time  there  was  so  little 
relevant  material  in  print  that  I  had 
to  supplement  the  course  outline  with 
my  own  material  in  mimeographed 
form.  This  material  became  the  basis 
of  my  book.  Projected  Visual  Aids  In 
The  Church  (Pilgrim  Press).  In  12 
years  we  have  come  a  long  way  in  the 
church  field. 

Now  we  have  a  four-unit  audiovisual 
kit.  Organized  and  written  by  Donald

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  February,    1959 


R.  Lantz  and  Paul  R.  Kidd  of  Family 
Filmstrips,  Inc.,  it  was  produced  by 
this  concern.  It  bears  the  title  Train- 
ing Kit  for  Using  Audio-Visuals  In  a 
Church,  and  the  four  units  are:  "Why 
Use  Audio-Visual  In  Your  Church?," 
"How  To  Use  Filmstrips  In  Your 
Church,"  "How  To  Use  Motion  Pic- 
tures In  Your  Church,"  and,  "How  To 
Organize  For  Audio-Visuals  In  Your 
Church." 

Each  filmstrip  has  a  recorded  com- 
mentary on  one  side  of  a  12-inch  rec- 
ord, a  printed  script,  and  suggestions 
for  the  user.  With  the  first  filmstrip 
there  is  a  four-minute  excerpt  from  the 
motion  picture.  The  Rich  Fool.  It  is 
nicely  integrated  and  effective. 

This  kit,  in  the  words  of  the  pro- 
ducer, has  at  least  four  purposes:  a) 
"to  motivate  interest  in  the  use  of 
audiovisuals  in  your  church;  b)  to  pro- 
vide an  understanding  of  the  basic 
philosophy  and  educational  values  in 
audiovisual  methods;  c)  to  suggest 
specific  ways  audiovisuals  can  be  used 
in  a  local  church  with  various  age 
groups  and  for  a  variety  of  purposes; 
and  d)  to  outline  the  administrative 
policies  needed  to  establish  and  main- 
tain interest  in  the  use  of  audiovisuals 
in  the  local  church." 

Can  this  kit  accomplish  these  objec- 
tives? My  answer  is  yes,  properly  used, 
it  can  do  the  job.  And  the  guide  con- 
tains some  very  practical  suggestions  on 
"proper  use."  No  one  needs  to  stumble 
and  bumble  about. 

Here  is  a  course,  a  short  course  it 
really  is,  for  conferences,  training 
schools,  institutes,  leadership  training 
schools,  skillshops,  pastor's  conferences, 
college  and  seminary  classes.  Within 
any  academic  "hour"  there  will  be  time 
for  the  effective  use  of  any  of  the  four 
units.  The  number  of  frames  and  the 
running  time  is,  respectively:  56  and 
12  minutes;  68  and  9  minutes;  64  and 
9  minutes;  and  77  and  14  minutes. 
Thus  plenty  of  time  is  left  for  readi- 
ness and  follow-up. 

What  about  content?  In  my  book 
they  get  an  "A  Plus."  They  hew  to 
their  purposes.  They  stick  to  the  im- 
portant matters.  In  theory  they  are 
sound,  and  in  methods  they  are  prac- 
tical and  realistic.  They  know  the  local 
church  (both  having  worked  in  it)  and 
they  know  visual  aids,  and  now  we  can 
say  they  know  how  to  organize  a  know- 
how  kit. 

On  the  technical  side  the  recordings 
are  good  all  the  way.  There  is  an  in- 
audible 30/50  cycle  automatic  frame- 
advance  signal  on  the  records  for  auto- 
matic projectors.  A  deliberate  pause  in 
the  narration  indicates  frame  change 
on  manual  projectors. 

The  "art"  is  in  color,  and  it  is 
stylized  representational  cartoon  draw- 
ing of  a  very  pleasant  variety.  A  small

—  as  I  see  it. 

In  My  Church.  In  our  church  AV

strips  will  have  reference  ninnbers  like 
these:  B-22,  S-293,  R-42;  AVRG- 190. 
Now  the  user  can  locate  that  filmstri]j 
in  drawer  B,  position  22;  the  .script  in 
file  No.  293;  the  record  in  envelope  42, 
and  complete,  detailed,  and  authorita- 
tive information  on  content  and  tech- 
nical qualities  on  page  190  of  the 
AVRG. 

It  will  be  used  in  another  way.  Our 
Winter  AV  Utilization  Bulletin  is 
past-due.  It  will  have  four  sections: 
materials  on  Lent,  Palm  Sunday  and 
Easter,  Missions,  and  those  relating 
to  the  curriculum  of  the  church  school. 
Under  each  section  we  will  list 
the  titles,  and  follow  them  with  a 
thinnbnail  statement  of  content,  em- 
phasis, age-level,  and  context  of  utili- 
zation. This  information  would  come 
from  the  AVRG  in  many  instances. 
Then  would  come  the  location  data,  as 
given  above.  Now  the  worker  knows 
where  she  can  get  more  information  on 
just  the  titles  in  which  she  is  interested. 
One  Step  Farther.  We  will  go  one 
step  farther.  The  Bulletin  is  not 
enough.  We  will  remove  from  the  per- 
manent files  this  material  and  the 
scripts  and  records.  It  will  be  placed 
in  the  drawers  of  a  special  preview- 
table.  On  it  will  be  a  filmstrip  pre- 
viewer,  a  record  player,  and  the  AVRG. 
This  saves  time.  It  saves  mixups. 

In  the  drawer,  these  filmstrips  will 
be  bunched  according  to  age-levels,  a 
further  assist  to  leaders.  Located  like 
this,  any  leader  or  teacher  can  pre- 
view, study  and  prepare  at  her  con- 
venience. When  these  seasonal  dates 
pass,  the  AV  librarian  can  check  the 
materials  and  return  them  to  the 
general  files. 

Now  For  The  Local  Dealer.  If  I  ran 
a  local  AV  rental  or  sales  concern  I'd 
relate  all  my  stuff  to  the  AVRG  (where 
possilile).  Many  churches  will  have 
this  "bible"  already.  Others  will  find 
they  must  get  it.  This  is  a  fact  that  I 
would  utilize  in  my  service  and  promo- 
tion program.  Here's  how. 

I  would  get  out  special  lists  of  ma- 
terials for  rent  or  sale.  I  would  say 
that  I  have  these  AVRG  titles.  That's 
where  the  accent  would  fall.  These 
special  lists  make  sense.  Depending 
only  on  a  general  catalogue  is  like 
blazing  away  at  the  landscape.  You 
will  hit  it,  to  be  sure,  but  you'll  not 
get  much  game. 

One  of  my  bulletins  might  bear  a 
title  like  this:  "AVRG  Titles  Useful 
In  The  Spring  Quarter  of  the  Presby- 
terian Curriculum."  Under  this  I 
might  put,  "Read  .\bout  Them  In 
Your  AVRG  and  Come  To  Us  For 
Purchases  and  Rentals."  Curriculum 
brochures  can  be  secured  from  de- 
nominational headquarters,  or  bor- 
rowed from  a  local  church  with  whom 
vou   do   business. 


Right  now  would  be  a  good  time  to 
mail  out  to  the  local  churches  you 
serve  a  little  folder,  "Our  AVRG 
Films  For  Lent  And  Easter."  Another: 
"AVRG  Filmstrips  For  Palm  Simday 
and  Easter."  In  all  this  you  would  give 
the  page  reference  in  the  -WRCi. 

Later  on  1  inight  get  out  other 
bulletins  listing  AVRG  titles  in  rela- 
tion to  Children's  Day,  to  vacation 
church  schools,  to  youth  camps  and 
conferences,  to  leadership  training 
schools,  and  to  the  summer  quarter  of 
curricula,  and  to  the  general  mission 
themes.  '  '■ 

Aljoiit  now  the  hSlf-convinced  reader 
will  be  asking  why  ail  this  reference 
to  the  AVRC;.  I'll  give  you  several 
reasons.  First,  the  AVRG  out  there  in 
the  local  cluirch  provided  the  user 
with  a  fairly  satisfactory  substitute  for 
previewing.  This  is  a  need  he  feels 
before  both  purchase  and  booking. 
Next,  you  don't  need  to  elaborate  in 
your  printing  and  duplicate  descrip- 
tive material  already  in  the  AVRG. 
Further,  this  AVRG  is  authoritative. 
It  is  olijeclive  —  as  objective  as  any 
resource  can  be  in  this  field.  Church 
leaders  now  recognize  this,  or  will 
soon  come  to  do  so.  Lastly,  you  can 
capitalize  on  this  .AVRG  integrity,  and 
in  doing  so  you  can  better  serve  both 
your  interests  as  a  business  concern 
and  the  church. 

To  get  on  widi  our  jobs,  let's  USE 
the  AVRG! 


Typical  of  the  service  which  AV 
libraries  arid  dealers  all  over  the  coun- 
try are  rendering  to  the  churches,  is 
that  of  Roa's  Films  in  Milwaukee.  So 
modest  are  these  people  in  talking 
about  this  significant  appreciated  serv- 
ice that  getting  articles  out  of  them 
is  not  easy.  It  lakes  considerable  do- 
ing, but,  after  several  requests  and  one 
or  two  reminders,  Roa  sent  the  fol- 
lowing article.  It  tells  her  story,  and 
represents  the  story  that  many  more 
similar  firms  could  tell.  -  WSH

Ihere  are  many  ways  in  which  a 
local  AV  library  can  serve  the  church, 
and  many  ways  it  should  be  used  by 
the  churches  of  the  area.  We  at  Roa's 
Films  (1696  North  Astor  Street,  Mil- 
waukee 2,  Wisconsin)  feel  that  a  well 
organized  film  rental  and  filmstrip 
catalogue  is  a  necessity.  We  believe 
that  a  good  catalogue  which  combines 
all  producers  is  an  important  tool  for 
the  workers  in  the  local  church.  We 
produce  a  unified  catalogue,  both  for 
our  own  convenience  and  the  con- 
venience of  our  customers.  They  like 
to  see  all  the  Old  Testament  material.

Our  Protestant  catalogue  includes 
notion    pictures    and    filmstrips    from 

II  the  princip:il  producers.  These  are 

II  indexed  ;ind  classified  according  to 
ubjcct.  We  listed  them  first  according 
o  subjects  and  producers  but  found 
hat  the  title  and  the  set  index  was 
niportant.  Now  we  go  one  step  fur- 
hcr  and  index  completely.  Our  title 
ndex,  ready  this  fall,  is  another  aid 
ve  are  giving  our  customers.  A  title 
ndex  of  all  filmstrips  that  have  been 
)roduced  since  our  last  printing  helps 
he  lay  persons  find  materials  they 
lave  read  about  and  are  looking  for. 

We     send     information     on     Lent, 

hristmas  and  vacation  Bible  school 
natcrials  as  separate  mailings.  This 
s  in  addition  to  our  catalogue,  and 
ve  find  that  our  customers  appreciate 
his  service. 

Our  staff  consists  of  people  who  are 
ictive  in  the  work  of  the  church.  This 
•xpcriencc  helps  them  render  service 
o  our  customers.  We  keep  a  file  of  all 
lenominational  programs  so  that  these 
natcrials  may  be  checked  when  spe- 
ial  program  information  is  desired. 
Ml  our  filmstrips  are  sent  to  the  pur- 
haser  on  a  preview-to-sale  basis.  We 
hink  this  is  a  MUST.  We  also  have 
pccialists  who  go  out  to  the  church 
nd  work  with  Sundav  school  teachers, 
>r  other  special  groups,  in  program 
lanning  and  in  presenting  teaching 
echniques. 

Every  day  we  have  people  viewing 
Inis  and  filmstrips.  Our  projectors 
nd  projection  rooms  are  busy  many 
lours  of  the  dav.  Church  workers 
ilien  make  appointments  for  groups 
n  advance,  coming  from  as  far  as  200 
niks.  We  take  an  active  part  in  work- 
ng  with  denominational  groups— Sun- 
"ay  school  teachers,  adult  Bible  class 
eachers,  vacation  Bible  school  teach- 
rs,  meeting  them  in  their  conven- 
ions  and  institutes.  This  is  a  free 
ervice  which  can  and  shoidd  be  of- 
cred  by  a  local  library  and  is  appre- 
iatcd  bv  the  churches.  It  adds  up  to 

good  relationship  in  one's  commu- 
ijtv. 

AVe  have  run  many  one-day  work- 
hops.  Due  to  a  limited  personnel  and 
he  high  cost  of  travel,  we  spot  our 
ireas  aliout  the  state,  setting  up  one 
or  each  day.  usually  Monday  through 
='riday.  These  are  usually  held  in  a 
hurch  where  a  supper  can  be  served 
vithout  disturbing  the  set-up  for  our 
vorkshop.  We  start  at  1  p.m.  and 
lose  at  9:30.  About  90  minutes  are 
;iven  over  to  preview  sessions.  These 
)reviews  are  broken  up  into  depart- 
nental  areas  and  are  usually  very  pop- 
ilar.  We  always  start  our  meetings  with 

slide  or  a  filmstrip  suitable  for  use 
n  a  worship  service. 

We  also  schedule  previews  and  con- 


sider them  an  important  part  of  good 
dealer-church  relations.  We  hold  them 
about  once  a  month,  putting  some  of 
them  on  Sunday  afternoon  and  eve- 
ning. We  have  found  that  ministers 
favor  Sunday  afternoon  previews.  It  is 
vital  for  us  that  ministers  are  well 
informed  and  are  acquainted  with 
high  quality  films  and  filmstrips  that 
are  available  for  use  in  connection 
with  the  various  programs  of  their 
churches.  We  believe  that  the  success 
of  the  ,\V  program  in  the  local  church 
stems  from  tiie  minister. 


Good  and  Useful 


Family  Filmstrips  Inc.  has  just  re- 
leased a  four-unit  series  of  sound  film- 
strips  in  color  under  the  title  "Stories 
.•\bout  Jesus  for  The  Kindergarten,  Kit 
No.  2  —  Jesus,  The  Friend."  The  stories 
selected  are  those  used  in  the  curricu- 
lum of  four  and  five  year-old  children. 
Each  has  a  running  time  of  four  min- 
utes, and  musical  backgrounds  have 
been  especially  written  and  arranged. 
F'amiliar  songs  are  used  together  with 
some  original  music,  and  the  frame- 
advance  signal  is  four  bell-like  notes 
played  on  a  celeste,  with  these  notes 
at  times  becoming  an  integral  part  of 
the  background  music. 

The  four  titles  are,  grouped  as  the 
narrations  appear  on  the  four  sides  of 
two  LP  records:  Jesns  Visits  Maiy  and 
Martha,  and,  Jesus  Visits  Zacchaeus; 
The  Calling  of  Levi,  and,  Jesus  And 
The  Children. 

The  content  is  simply  and  directly 
treated.  While  it  is  straight  narrative, 
the  directive  material  in  the  leader's 
guide,  and  repeated  on  the  filmstrips, 
is  sound  and  helpful.  If  followed,  these 
little  filmstrips  will  make  traction  with 
the  minds  of  Kindergarteners.  Each 
one  accents  the  phrase  from  the  title, 
"Jesus,  The  Friend." 

I  would  like  to  add  a  word  of  warn- 
ing to  users,  especially  some  of  the 
"old  school"  workers  with  children: 
this  is  a  linu'ted-objective  series.  It  sets 
out  to  do  just  one  thing  —  tell  and 
show  some  stories  accenting  the  idea 
that  Jesus  was  friendly,  that  He  helped 
people  to  be  friendly,  and  that  His 
followers  ought  to  be  friendly  too. 
That's  all!  They  don't  try  to  tell  the 
whole  story,  or  tell  it  to  Tillich  and 
Timmy  at  the  same  time.  Few  workers, 
"old"  or  "new"  school,  can  get  over 
more,  or  as  much,  in  just  four  minutes. 

Now  let  me  say  a  critical  word  al)out 
the  art:  I  found  it  of  average  quality, 
especially  in  facial  detail.  In  keeping 
the  pictures  uncluttered,  and  in  clearly 
identifying  the  main  characters  —  im- 
portant for  children  —  artist  John  Lear 
has  ilone  a  good  job.  /\  good  and  use- 
ful series,  and  recommended.

visual  background  for  the  interdenomi- 
national home  mission  study  theme  for 
this  year  —  "Christian  Concerns  of 
North  American  Neighbors." 

It  was  produced  bv  Dvnamic  Films. 
Inc.  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Broadoudng  and  Film  Commission  of 
the  NCC  with  Alexander  B.  Fetguson 
acting  as  Production  Supervisor  and 
Porter  Bowo-  as  Church   Consultant. 

If  this  title  seems  somewhat  non-

like nebulosity  of  general  home  mis- 
sion theme  for  this  year:  "Christian 
Concerns  of  North  .\merican  Neigh- 
bors." Like  a  stevedore  net,  a  term 
like  this  will  hold  anything  from  a 
calf  to  a  crate.

From  "North  American  Neighbors,"  an 
Abn  Skilin  production. 

continental  neighborhood  .  .  .  the  film 
explores  the  work  of  missions  whose 
ser\-ice  to  human  need  is  a  demonstra- 
tion of  Christ's  love  for  the  illiterate, 
the  ignorant,  the  diseased,  the  help- 
less, the  homeless,  the  hungr.."  Our 
camera,  to  do  this,  takes  us  to  .\laska. 
to  Mexico,  to  Puerto  Rico,  and  Haiti. 
The  film  invites  North  .American 
Christiaiu  to  re-examine  themselves,  to 
discover  new  spiritual  insights  and  to 
share  their  faith  and  freedom  with  the 
total  continental  neighborhood  like  a 
local  congregation  bears  its  witness  in 
love  and  concern  to  its  neighbors. 
Protestant  Christians  must  oSer  fellow- 
ship and  a  sense  of  community  to  all 
p)eoples.  knowing  no  borders,  no  sea- 
sons, no  human  differences. 

The  Christian  chiuxh  must  break  its 
bonds  —  prejudice,  unconcern,  greed, 
neglect  —  and  minister  to  its  neigh- 
bors. It  must  share  its  faith,  even  as  a 
congregation  shares  its  faith  with  those 
about  it.  It  must  heal  and  teach,  feed, 
relieve  suffering,  and  share  its  faith 
—  in  short,  it  must  serve  its  neighbors 
in  His  name. 

Now  how  well  is  all  this  "said"? 
The  photc^:raphy  is  good  all  the  way. 
Lester  Becker's  writing  is  uninspired. 
It  plods;  never  soars.  It's  punctuated 
prose  and  not  inspired  poetry.  How 
we  miss  .Man  Shilin!  The  narration  is 
not  easy  to  listen  to,  and  everv  now 
and  then  we  miss  altogether  certain  of 
Norman  Rose's  words.  The  level  of 
the  music  is  too  high  in  much  of  the 
film;  and,  at  times  it  takes  on  far  too 
much  the  aspects  of  a  series  of  concert 
pi-?ces.  It  is  not  well  integrated  psy- 
chologically, and  too  much  in  the  fore- 
ground. It  asks  for  attention;  a  serious 
faulL 

However,  despite  these  faults,  this 
is  a  good  and  useful  film.  Given  a  de- 
cent introduction  it  can  get  its  message 
over  to  young  people  and  adults.  Set  in 
the  right  context,  it  can  motivate  study 
and  discussion.   Even   when   given   no 


assistance  at  .«ll,  it  can  get  acros*  nio 
information  and  ideas  in  27  miiiui

airman,  Television-Radio  Film  Department,  Stephens  College,  Columbia,  Missouri 


PURING  the  spring  of  1958, 
Stephens  College  presented  a 
ies  of  science  lecturers  as  part 
its  closed  circuit  television  course 
ens  and  Living  Today.  The  great 
itude  permitted  the  television 
ff  by  the  administration  has 
ide  it  possible  to  do  considerable 
perimentation  in  this  area.  This 
icle  describes  the  kind  of  think- 
j  that  led  to  the  development  of 
intermittent  type  of  presenta- 
n. 

The  only  limitation  on  the  for- 
it  for  this  televised  instruction 
s  the  length  of  each  period  (50 
nutes).  First,  the  standard  course 
proach  was  used  —  that  of  begin- 
ig  with  a  25-minute  lecture  by 
;  TV  instructor  to  a  class  of  900 
idents.  The  lecture  was  viewed 
about  50  different  groups.  Each 
)up  had  its  own  television  set 
d  a  discussion  leader  who  was  a 
:mber  of  the  Stephens  faculty, 
the  end  of  the  25-minute  tele- 
ion  lecture,  the  discussion  lead- 
in  the  individual  classes  con- 
cted  a  25-minute  discussion  of 
;  ideas  presented  by  the  TV  in- 
uctor.  Although  the  procedure 
d  the  advantage  of  permitting 
ss  participation,  it  soon  devel- 
ed  the  serious  disadvantage  that 
tile  science  series  progressed,  the 
Teasing  complexity  of  the  ma- 
ial  made  it  difficult  for  the  dis- 
ision  leaders,  most  of  whom  were 
t  regular  science  teachers,  to  do 
tice  to  the  situation  in  the  lim- 
d  amount  of  time  they  had  avail- 
le. 

U'ith   this  in  mind,  an  attempt 
s   made    to   have   the    television 


lecturer  use  the  whole  period  with- 
out group  discussion.  This  had  two 
serious  disadvantages,  the  first  was 
the  complete  lack  of  student  par- 
ticipation and  the  second  was  the 
difficulty  of  producing  two  50-min- 
ute  television  programs  weekly 
using  student  crews  that  were  not 
able  to  give  the  time  required  for 
rehearsals.  After  reviewing  the  lim- 
itations of  both  attempts,  the  tele- 
teacher  tried  lecturing  for  about  5 
minutes,  leaving  the  students  with 
a  problem,  going  off  the  air  for 
about  5  minutes,  and  returning 
after  this  interval  with  a  discussion 
of  the  answer.  During  the  5  min- 
utes the  lecturer  was  not  on  cam- 
era, the  discussion  leaders  with 
their  small  groups  considered  the 
problem  posed  by  the  lecturer. 

This  on-off-on  pattern  of  inter- 
mittent lecture  was  generally  re- 
garded as  the  best  approach  to  the 
problem.  Students  liked  the  tech- 
nique since  it  gave  them  continuous 
active  participation  in  the  pro- 
gram; they  were  rewarded  or  pun- 
ished as  the  case  might  be  with  an 
immediate  appraisal  of  their  solu- 
tion to  the  problem  as  the  lecture 
jirogressed.  Discussion  leaders  were 
relieved  of  the  need  for  extensive 
structuring  of  a  discussion  in  a  field 
which  was  not  their  special  inter- 
est; in  fact  this  approach  would 
have  made  it  possible  for  a  student 
leader  to  be  substituted  for  the  reg- 
ular faculty  discussion  leader.  Less 
rehearsal  time  was  necessary  to 
achieve  jirofessional  results,  for  the 
tele-teacher  was  able  to  run  through 
each  segment  with  a  student  crew 
during  the  "off-air"  periods.   Pres-

sure  on  the  television  lecturer  was 
reduced  since  this  system  provided 
intervals  for  relaxation  during  the 
program. 

Although  the  technique  was  de- 
veloped as  a  solution  to  a  special 
problem,  it  points  the  way  to  a 
possible  answer  to  the  shortage  of 
qualified  instructors  in  the  field  of 
science.  It  also  provides  for  an 
imaginative  use  of  television  and 
film,  one  which  would  allow  maxi- 
mum involvement  of  the  audience 
during  the  presentation.  It  is  con- 
ceivable that  a  film  series  might  be 
produced  using  the  "master  teach- 
er" as  lecturer  and  demonstrator 
during  an  entire  standard  50-min- 
ute  class  period.  The  lecturer  would 
present  his  materials  and  ideas, 
pose  the  problems  to  be  worked 
on  by  the  class,  either  individually 
or  collectively,  the  projector  would 
be  stopped,  turned  on  again  at  the 
given  interval,  and  the  filmed  lec- 
ture would  continue.  With  10  or 
20  minutes  of  film  a  50-minute 
class  period  might  well  be  ac- 
counted for.  Instruction  would  be 
continuous,  the  students  would  be 
able  to  participate  during  the  en- 
tire class  period,  necessity  of  close 
attention  to  a  movie  or  television 
screen  for  an  extended  period  of 
time  would  be  obviated,  and  a  per- 
son with  less  experience  would  be 
able  to  conduct  the  class.  Although 
the  last  point  is  certainly  undesir- 
able, it  is  an  answer  to  an  emer- 
gency situation.  As  for  the  use  of 
the  system  on  television,  it  provides 
a  method  for  creating  active  audi- 
ence participation  during  the  pro- 
gram.

Here  to  Stay  — 


Sponsored   Material; 


A  FEW  semesters  ago,  newspapers 
all  over  the  country  carried 
the  announcement  that  the  Asso- 
ciation of  School  Administrators 
had  issued  a  bulletin  on  selecting 
and  using  sponsored  materials  for 
classroom  use.  This  press  release 
highlighted  a  problem  which  has 
been  present  in  the  schools  of  our 
country  for  some  time  now  —  that 
of  using  sponsored  materials  in 
the  classroom.  For  the  past  twenty- 
five  years  trade  associations, 
unions,  government  institutions,  in- 
dustrial businesses,  and  profes- 
sional associations  have  been  in- 
terested in  getting  information  'o 
the  teachers  and  the  students  in 
the  classroom,  often  looking  upon 
the  classroom  as  a  price  to  sell  their 
own  products  or  ideas. 

As  more  and  more  of  this  free 
material  was  made  available  to 
schools,  many  administrators  and 
teachers  began  to  question  the  mo- 
tives behind  its  distribution.  They 
became  more  selective,  and  without 
doubt  much  of  this  material  found 
its  way  into  the  waste  basket.  For- 
ward-looking people  in  industry 
and  business  began  to  realize  that 
a  great  deal  of  effort,  time,  and 
money  were  being  wasted  in  this 
campaign  to  enter  the  classroom. 
They  realized  also  that  the  effort 
was  causing  a  resentment  on  the 
part  of  educators  and  thus  build- 
ing a  poor  relationship  between  the 
schools  and  the  organizations 
which  issued  the  material. 

Many  educators  were  skeptical. 
Why  should  outside  agencies  be  so 
interested  in  developing  material 
for  the  schools,  and  at  considerable 
expense,  too?  The  obvious  answer 
is  that  they  have  something  to  sell. 
That  is  of  course  true,  but  any 
attempt  to  build  good  will  by  per- 
forming some  public  service  also  in- 
volves selling.  Blatant  advertising 
may  have  been  common  in  spon- 
sored materials  a  decade  ago  but 
today  there  is  a  definite  trend  away 
from  such  advertising.  There  will 
always  be  a  few  agencies  that  will 


try  improper  advertising,  but  it  is 
now  easy  to  screen  out  this  mate- 
rial or  direct  the  reader's  attention 
to  its  purpose. 

Some  agencies,  like  the  Ameri- 
can Iron  and  Steel  Institute,  de- 
cided to  find  out  whether  there  was 
a  legitimate  place  for  industry-pro- 
duced materials  in  the  classroom. 
After  three  years  of  study,  they  dis- 
covered that  educators  would  wel- 
come such  contributions  but  that 
there  were  certain  conditions  to  be 
observed  regarding  content  and 
mode  of  presentation.  A  summary 
of  this  study  was  made  available  in 
a  bulletin  entitled  "Editration  and 
Industry   Cooperate." 

Forward-looking  industrial  or- 
ganizations, service  associations, 
and  labor  unions  realize  that  the 
school  cannot  become  a  place  for 
propaganda  and  that  they  have  a 
responsibility  to  assist  education  on 
a  high  plane.  They  recognize  that 
the  school  is  an  important  factor 
in  developing  an  effective  citizenry 
for  our  country.  As  our  society  has 
become  more  complex,  the  need 
for  an  enriched  school  program  has 
been  evident  to  almost  everybody, 
including  big  business.  The  schools 
influence  the  attitudes,  understand- 
ings, skills,  and  appreciations  of 
the  growing  generation  and  this  is 
important  to  every  segment  of  our 
culture  —  in  d  u  s  t  r  i  a  I ,  commercial, 
professional,  laboring,  political,  etc. 
The  future  labor  leader,  worker, 
manager,  owner,  social  leader,  con- 
gressman, all  get  their  start  in 
schools.  Hence  the  use  of  materials 
which  give  accurate  information  on 
our  institutions,  organizations, 
businesses,  and  industries  is  im- 
portant; if  made  available  by  spon- 
sors, so  much  the  better. 

However,  as  more  and  more  of 
this  sponsored  material  began  to 
find  its  way  into  the  schools,  many 
educators  realized  that  some  type 
of  screening  would  have  to  be  done. 
Practically  all  schools  have  criteria 
for  the  selection  of  regular  text- 
books  and    librarv   books   but   few 


have  set  up  any  standards  for  tl 
evaluation  of  these  materials  whic 
were  available  from  industry  f( 
the  asking.  National  teacher  orga; 
izations  became  interested  in  tl 
problem.  The  Association  for  Si 
pervision  and  Curriculum  Deve 
opment  issued  a  pamphlet  "Usir 
Free  Material  in  tlie  Classroorr. 
and  two  years  later  the  .Assotiatic 
of  School  Administrators  issued 
similai'  i)ulletin.  Ihese  two  pu 
lications  highli.s^lned  the  proble: 
of  industry-sponsored  material  j 
the  schools  and  pointed  out  tl 
need  for  criteria  for  evaluating  ar 
selecting  these  materials. 

The  question  of  whether  tl 
schools  should  use  materials  whi( 
are  sponsored  by  various  groups  i 
our  society  is  no  longer  an  issue, 
has  been  answered  in  the  affirm 
tive  by  both  teachers  and  admini 
trators.  It  is,  of  course,  recognize 
that  materials  must  be  selectf 
with  great  care  because  the  schO' 
cannot  become  a  place  in  whi( 
commercial  agencies  can  sell  the 
wares.  Nevertheless,  the  model 
school  needs  all  kinds  of  teachir 
material  as  it  deals  with  many  vit 
and  complex  problems,  and  son 
of  these  materials  are  not  obtai 
able  through  the  usual  channels. 

The  job  of  the  school  is  to  d 
velop  an  effective  and  participatii 
citizen  for  our  society— one  wl 
understands  our  history  and  our  f 
ture.  Young  people  must  learn  n^ 
only  how  to  choose  jobs  and  eai 
livings,  but  must  also  learn  som 
thing  about  the  problems  of  oi 
culture.  To  help  them  do  this,  tl 
teacher  needs  not  only  the  usu 
textbooks,  films,  radio,  and  T' 
but  he  must  make  use  of  ever 
thing  the  community  can  supp 
as  a  laboratory  for  learning.  Tl 
community  can  supply  resourj 
people,  places  to  visit,  and  writte 
materials  of  many  kinds.  Tl 
proper  selection  of  these  learn  ii 
tools  and  experiences  is  an  impc 
tant  part  of  the  educational  proce

nvolving  not  only  the  teacher  but 
he  student  as  well. 

An  important  part  of  a  student's 
ducation  is  the  development  of 
kills  in  the  selection  of  material. 
a(  h  day  he  is  confronted  with 
iiany  lorms  of  persuasion  — the 
)ress,  radio,  TV,  and  the  large 
|uantity  of  advertising  that  comes 
n  the  mail  to  his  home.  All  are 
lying  to  convince  him  and  his 
arents  to  buy  something  or  to 
liink  in  a  certain  way.  By  involv- 
iii^  the  student  in  the  evaluation 
)l  materials,  the  teacher  is  helping 
lim  to  develop  his  ability  to  evalu- 
te  effectively  the  various  means 
viiich  try  to  capture  his  mind  or 
lis  dollars. 

What,  then,  are  some  of  the 
liieria  which  should  be  consid- 
•red  in  the  use  of  this  sponsored 
nd  free  material? 

1.  Who  authorized  the  material? 
n  far  too  many  instances,  it 
s  difficult  to  identify  the  person, 
)r  persons,  who  prepared  the  book- 
et  or  film.  If  the  author  and  spon- 
or  is  known,  then  a  check  can  be 
nade  of  his  reputation  and  the 
ource  of  his  material. 

2.  Does  the  material  try  to  sell 
omelhing?  The  classroom  cannot 
)ecome  a  market-place.  Afaterials 
vhich  are  devoted  to  selling  a 
)rejudiced  point  of  view  or  a  name- 
)roduct,  have  no  place  in  a  class- 
oom  except  where  a  class  is  using 
hem  as  horrible  examples.  .\nd 
■veil  that  is  considered  to  be  out- 
ide  the  teacher's  jurisdiction. 

3.  Does  the  material  tie  in  with 
he  sponsor's  area  of  interest?  Often 

sj)onsor  will  be  interested  in 
ome  area  of  education  which  is  far 
'emoved  from  his  specially.  For  ex- 
mple,  a  food-products  company 
nay  be  concerned  about  the  teach- 
ng  of  history  and  put  out  mate- 
ial  which  will  try  to  convey  some 
>articu]ar  point  of  view  in  the 
caching  of  history  or  economics 
vhich  fits  the  social  or  political 
iiilosophy  of  the  owner.  Generally 


speaking,  this  type  of  material  has 
a  very  definite  bias.  Even  if  we,  too, 
have  a  similar  bias,  we  have  no 
right  to  impose  it  on  students. 
There  are  carefully  chosen  text- 
books available  which  present  cur- 
rent issues  in  ways  that  are  un- 
(jrejudiced.  Let  the  food  company 
develop  material  in  the  area  of 
food  and  food  products,  and 
schools  can  use  it  very  profitably— 
if  the  treatment  of  the  brand  name 
is  handled  with  discretion.  It  is  in 
areas  which  textbooks  and  text- 
films  do  not  handle  adequately 
that  these  companies  can  best  sup- 
f)ly  teaching  aids  for  the  classroom, 
and  assuredly  they  should  limit 
themselves  to  areas  in  which  they 
can  be  accepted  as  bonafide  author- 
ities. 

4.  Docs  the  material  indicate 
that  educators  have  been  consulted 
in  its  preparation?  Education,  like 
any  business,  is  a  technical  and  in- 
volved process.  The  educator  has 
insights  into  the  teaching  process 
which  can  assist  companies  in  the 
production  of  material  for  schools. 
Many  sales  and  advertising  experts 
do  not.  Sponsored  materials  should 
indicate  who  helped  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  their  content,  and  who  de- 
tided  upon  the  educational  ob- 
jectives to  be  met. 

5.  Does  the  material  use  a  rifle 
or  a  shotgut}  approach?  Generally 
speaking  materials  which  are  pro- 
duced for  a  specific  curriculum 
area,  have  a  rifle  approach.  They 
try  to  hit  a  definite  target.  Keeping 
the  interest  and  maturity  level  of 
students  in  mind,  they  aim  to  help 
the  teacher  siumount  a  particular 
learning  problem.  This  is  much 
better  than  the  shotgun  method, 
which  tries  to  make  materials  fit 
too  many  levels.  It  is  difficult  to 
produce  a  single  film  on  steel  which 
will  be  useful  to  fifth  grade  stu- 
dents, a  Chamber  of  Commerce 
group,  a  foundry  class,  and  a  high 
school  chemistry  class.  A  few  mate- 
rials tan  be  produced  which  will 
fit    a    number    of    age    or '  interest 


groups  but  it  is  better  if  they  are 
produced  for  a  specific  purpose. 

The  above  criteria  are  important 
considerations  for  the  teacher  be- 
fore using  sponsored  materials  in 
the  classroom.  That  is  no  small 
task.  A  great  deal  of  effort  and 
money  could  be  saved  if  more 
sponsors  of  materials  being  pre- 
pared for  school  use  would  observe 
some  of  the  precautions  now  being 
taken  by  the  most  well-informed, 
forward-looking,  and  service-mind- 
ed sponsors  of  educational  mate- 
rials. Some  of  these  precautions  are: 

1.  Make  a  study  of  the  school 
curriculum  with  the  help  of  educa- 
tors to  determine  the  area  where 
the  materials  could  be  most  help- 
ful. 

2.  Consult  educators  on  the 
types  of  aids  and  the  content  which 
would  suit  the  purposes  of  the 
school  as  well  as  the  sponsor. 

3.  Send  out  rough  drafts  of  the 
material  for  pre-test  and  evaluation 
before  final  production. 

4.  Make  a  follow-up  study  after 
the  materials  have  been  in  use  for 
a  period  of  time  to  see  if  they  are 
being  used  and  how  successfully. 

5.  Adapt  the  vocabulary  and 
presentation  to  the  maturity  and 
interest  level  of  prospective  users. 

6.  Limit  content  to  the  facts  de- 
sired by  teachers.  Avoid  "grinding 
an  axe"  or  promoting  the  sponsors' 
point  of  view.  Hold  advertising 
content  to  a  minimum. 

7.  Identify  authors  and  sources 
of  information. 

8.  If  teaching  suggestions  are  to 
be  included,  get  teacher  help  in 
preparing  them. 

9.  Send  the  materials  only  to 
educators  who  request  them.  Avoid 
general  distribution  through  the 
usual  mailing  list  procedure. 

The  day  is  past  when  educators 
seriously  will  consider  throwing 
out  all  sponsored  materials.  This 
has  been  made  impractical  because 
leading  sponsors  have  taken  the 
initiative  to  develop  materials  to 
meet  needs  expressed  by  teachers 
themselves.  It  would  be  foolish  to 
cast  out  materials  which  will  en- 
able youngsters  to  achieve  more 
effectively  the  objectives  of  the 
school.  The  challenge  for  teachers 
is  to  choose  wisely.  Joint  efforts  of 
educators  and  sponsors  are  helping 
to  i^rovide  criteria  for  making 
these  choices.  .At  the  same  time 
these  efforts  are  furnishing  guide 
lines  so  that  more  and  more  spon- 
sors may  soon  be  able  to  replace 
the  unacceptable  with  the  accepta- 
ble and  valuable.

Description 

Art  and  You  uses  narration,  visuals 
of  art  objects,  and  examples  of  real- 
life  situations  to  contrast  the  ways  in 
which  art  expresses  individual  feelings 
and  thoughts  about  the  world  of  peo- 
ple and  nature. 

A  montage  of  statues,  paintings, 
sketches,  and  other  art  objects  intro- 
duces the  world  of  art  to  the  viewer 
and  the  narration  explains  how  art 
begins  and  what  it  is.  The  beginning 
of  art  experiences  is  illustrated  as 
starting  with  birth  and  growing  grad- 
ually as  a  person's  frame  of  reference 
is  enlarged.

are  shown  and  these  daily  activities 
are  presented  with  their  counterparts 
as  found  in  existing  art.  Such  common 
subjects  as  a  quiet  village  street,  a 
lonely  child,  a  babbling  brook,  a  field 
of  flowers,  a  gloomy  day,  or  a  festive 
celebration  are  seen  as  they  appear  in 
reality,  and  then  as  themes  inter-

The  latter  section  of  the  film  at-

water  color  and  clay.  Over  a  concluding 
montage  of  well-known  art  objects,  the 
narrator  reminds  the  viewer  thati 
"Whatever  the  style  you  choose,  the 
art  that  you  create  tells  others  how 
you  think  and  feel,  and  what  you  see 
of  the  many  faces  of  the  world  of  peo- 
ple and  the  many  faces  of  the  world 
of  nature." 

Appraisal 

The  evaluating  committee  feels  that 
Art  and  You  will  be  of  value  to  junior 
and  senior  high  school  art  apprecia- 
tion classes.  The  vocabulary  level  and 
the  self-identification  of  the  viewer 
with  elementary  children  shown  in  the 
film  make  a  strong  bid  for  its  use  on 
the  intermediate  level,  however,  the 
majority  of  the  committee  felt  that  the 
over-all  concepts  of  the  film  would  be 
lost  on  an  audience  of  that  age.  .^dult 
and  college  groups  will  find  much  of 
interest  in  this  film  if  they  desire  a 
simple  introduction  to  art.  Anyone  in- 
terested in  art  will  find  it  a  challeng- 
ing experience  attempting  to  identity 
the  many  well-known  yet  unnamed 
works  of  art.  The  creative  use  of  mon- 
tage and  tlie  blending  of  scenes  of 
reality  with  those  interpreted  by  the 
artist  add  a  quality  to  the  film  which  1 
is  heightened  by  excellent  photog- 
raphy.

Description 

Cily  of  Gold  is  about  Dawson  City, 
its  present  and  its  past,  as  seen  from 
the  viewpoint  of  narrator  Pierre  Ber- 
ton,  "who  was  raised  iliere."  It  is  a  1 
quiet  ghost  town  now  where  three  or 
four  hundred  hard-working  people 
live.  The  children  playing  baseball  in 
the  park   think  of  Dawson   City   as  a

beginning,  but  the  weathered  old  men 
who  sit  along  the  main  street  talk  of 
the  "good  old  davs."  In  the  summer 
of  1898.  40.000  souls  were  here  in  this 
botimtown  of  the  Klondike  Gold  Rush. 

Still  photographs  made  at  the  time 
of  the  Cold  Rush  furnish  the  visual 
material  for  the  IxmIv  of  the  film.  One 
iees  streams  of  heavily  laden  men 
ilimbing  45  degrees  through  the  snow 
to  reach  Chilkoot  Pass  as  Berton's 
father  had  done.  On  the  shores  of 
lake  Bennett  at  the  head  of  the 
Yukon  River.  20.000  men  built  7.000 
!x>ats  of  hand-hewn  logs  to  take  them 
in  freshlv  thawed  waters  to  Dawson 
Citv.  When  they  arrived,  most  of  the 
:1a  ims  had  been  taken  bv  those  who 
rt-ere  there  18  month*  before. 

Those  with  claims  had  to  dig 
through  permafrost  to  find  a  paystreak. 
Some  who  found  fortunes  were  the 
iubject  of  legends  about  the  lavish 
manner  of  living.  .-Vt  an  inflated  price, 
;old  would  buv  anything,  "from  ovs- 
crs  to  opera  glasses."  Gold  would  buv 
Aomen,  too. 

Despite  the  citv's  bawdiness.  the 
jtople  were  very  law-abiding.  There 
were  no  murders  nor  major  thefts.  The 
;aloons  were  closed  on  Sunday  and  the 
iii/ens  were  even  forbidden  to  chop 
iheir  own  wood  on  that  holy  day.  But 
here  was  celebrating  on  July  4th  — 
1    combination     Dominion     Day    and 


Independence  Day  when  the  flags  of 
Canada  and  the  United  States  flew 
side  by  side.  .Although  the  place  was 
Nortliwestern  Canada,  the  adventurers 
who   went    there    were    mostiv    .\mer- 


A]>praisal 

This  vignette  of  .American  history 
on  foreign  soil  gives  the  viewer  a 
realistic  feeling  for  gold  rush  condi- 
tions that  is  easily  transferable  to 
other  times  and  places.  The  still  pho- 
tographic images  preserved  on  glass 
plates  come  alive  with  judicious  cam- 
era movement  and  Eldon  Rathburn's 
descriptive  musical  score  that  features 
among  other  instruments  the  tinny- 
toned  piano,  the  banjo,  and  even  the 
jewsharp.  Producer-editor  Tom  Dalv's 
visual  transitions  from  live  to  still 
materials  and  back  again  are  almost 
imperceptible,  a  feat  that  was  facili- 
tated by  the  unusual  clarity  of  the 
old  photographs.  The  lyrical  j)eak  of 
this  outstanding  work  of  filmic  art 
was  reached  in  the  sequence  of  quiet, 
enigmatic  faces  of  the  people  who 
watch  the  July  4th  parade.  Here  the 
music  becomes  muted  and  reflective 
as  the  narrator  wonders  what  they 
were  celebrating.  Why  elation  when 
so  many  made  no  attempt  to  seek 
gold?  Yet  they  seem  to  have  found 
their  El   Dorados  —  a   new  beginning. 


They  seem  to  feel  strangely  ennobled 
by  just  being  there. 

City  of  Gold  has  already  been  ex- 
hibited widely  in  the  commercial 
theatres  of  this  country.  Now  it  will 
be  welcomed  by  film  societies  for 
their  programs.  High  school  and  col- 
lege history  teachers  would  find  the 
film  useful  in  portraying  conditions 
during  the  gold  rush  era.  Since  the 
Klondike  Cold  Rush  is  directly  re- 
lated to  the  settlement  of  the  Cana- 
dian West,  students  of  Canadian  his- 
tory and  historical  geography  will  find 
the  film  even  more  pertinent. 

When  a  high  school  teacher  pre- 
views this  film,  he  will  decide  whether 
the  fashionably  dressed  "ladies"  from 
"Paradise  .■Mley"  and  paintings  of 
Victorian  nudes  will  disqualify  the  film 
for  his  use  situation,  or  whether  these 
aspects  of  the  film  are  "facts  of  life" 
in  a  gold  rush  community  presented 
subtly  and  inoffensively  to  a  sophisti- 
cated audience.

how  a  great  variety  of  print  designs 
may  be  made  with  the  gelatin  brayer. 

The  opening  scenes  illustrate  im- 
pressions being  made  in  widely  differ- 
ing circumstances  —  a  footprint,  fin- 
gerprnits,  a  tire  on  pavement,  even  a 
wet  rubber  ball  being  rolled  on  a 
sidewalk  by  a  child.  A  few  scenes  pre- 
sent designs  made  with  the  brayer. 
Then,  the  film  titles  and  credits 
themselves  appear  on  a  brayer  print 
background. 

An  enumeration  of  the  tools  needed 
includes  gelatin  brayers  (or  rollers)  of 
varying  sizes,  an  oil  base  ink,  a  glass 
plate  for  getting  an  even  distribution 
of  ink  on  the  brayer,  paper  on  which 
to  experiment,  and  a  regular  paint 
solvent  for  cleaning. 

By  varying  the  movement  of  the 
brayer  and  shifting  the  point  of  pres- 
sure, one  can  form  unusual  and  ex- 
perimental designs  on  paper.  A  deifl- 
onstration  is  given  of  offset  printing 
being  employed  to  produce  unusual 
designs.  Corrugated  cardboard  and 
cardboard  chips  are  placed  on  paper 
and  the  brayer  is  rolled  over  them, 
leaving  a  neg^ative  design.  The  nar- 
rator suggests  that  leaves,  cloth,  grass, 
and  almost  any  small  flat  objects  con- 
tribute to  an  unlimited  number  of 
new  prints.  Some  attractive  book  cov- 
ers, gift  wrapping  paper,  place  cards, 
fabric   patterns,    and    posters   are   dis- 


j)layed  to  the  viewer  as  suggestions  for 
the  use  of  the  brayer  print. 

Other  techniques  are  exhibited  for 
new  effects.  Designs  may  be  drawn 
directly  on  the  brayer.  String,  yarn,  or 
thread  may  be  wound  around  the 
brayer  for  line  patterns.  A  piece  of 
wire  is  bent  into  a  desired  shape  and 
the  brayer  is  rolled  over  it  revealing 
still  other  varied  effects. 

The    film    ends    with    the    creative 
work    of    children    and    adults    of    all 
ages.   These   works   are    in    black    and 
white  and  in  many  colors. 
Appraisal 

This  new  film  on  art  technique 
could  be  used  for  audiences  ranging 
from  junior  high  school  to  adult  levels. 
The  purposes  of  the  film  are  to  intro- 
duce new  art  techniques  and  to  dem- 
onstrate the  variety  of  designs  possible 
for  decorative  and  creative  purposes. 
Print  with  a  Brayer  is  recommended 
by  the  committee  chiefly  for  demon- 
stration purposes  rather  than  for  teach- 
ing the  techniques  discussed.  The 
evaluation  committee  feels  that  the 
film  might  have  been  more  helpful  to 
the  viewer  if  it  had  demonstrated  the 
actual  making  of  a  piece  of  art  work 
using  the  techniques  presented  instead 
of  showing  the  possible  techniques 
and  then  some  finished  products.

they  "have  news  for  him  too."  Had 
Alice  lieard  the  end  of  the  conversa- 
tion she  woidd  have  known  that  the 
installation  of  the  new  computer  is  an 
effort  to  make  work  easier  for  Helen 
and  Sally,  and  that  an  experienced 
operator  is  always  sent  along  to  in- 
struct the  persons  who  will  be  using  it. 
This  is  quite  a  predicament  arising 
from  a  very  simple  misunderstanding. 
Now  Mr.  Stone  has  a  new  computer 
and  no  one  to  run  it.  The  film  closes 
with  his  trying  to  explain  that  "man- 
agement cannot  always  tell  its  employ- 
ees everything  it  has  in  mind,  but  that 
surely  they  will  be  told  anything  that 
concerns  them  directly.  In  fact  that's 
why  the  girls  have  been  called  in  — 
to  be  told  about  this  change  before 
the  equipment  arrived,  and  posing  the 
questions  .  .  .  "How  in  the  devil  can 
I  keep  these  rumors  from  getting 
started?" 

.Vppraisal 

Designed  to  invite  constructive 
thinking  on  the  part  of  the  viewers, 
the  film  quickly  and  dramatically  de- 
velops the  problem,  climaxing  it  with 
a  pointed  lead-off  question  requiring 
the  audience  to  draw  their  own  con- 
clusions and  di.scover,  through  discus- 
sion, a  better  way  of  handling  the 
situation  to  prevent  or  minimize  the 
problem.  The  evaluators  feel  it  will 
be  helpful  not  only  in  supervisory 
"in-service"  training  but  in  college 
business  education  clas.ses  and  those  of 
technical  or  other  high  schools  having 
an  extensive  business  program.  The 
problem  is  a  common  one  and  an  im- 
portant one.  Both  the  points  of  view 
of  the  supervisor  and  of  the  clerical 
worker  are  glimpsed,  enabling  each 
group  to  gain  a  better  understanding 
of  the  feelings  of  the  other.  The 
method  of  portrayal  is  so  vivid  that 
identification  of  the  viewer  in  the 
situation    is  almost  automatic. 

The  (irapevine  is  one  of  a  series  of 
six  short  films  including  The  Follow 
Through,  dealing  with  good  job  in- 
struction; How  Much  Cooperation, 
regarding  cooperation  between  clerical 
staff  and  their  supervisors;  In  the 
Middle,  illustrating  the  problem  of 
getting  changes  accepted;  The  Bright 
Young  Newcomer,  pointing  up  special 
motivation  needs  of  the  senior  clerical 
employee;  and  By-Passed,  dealing  with 
the  handling  of  the  promotion  disap- 
pointment case.  Each  film  in  a  similar 
manner  sets  up  a  situation  and  poses 
a  lead-off  question.  There  is  an  inclu- 
sive manual  for  the  series  incorporat- 
ing the  information  contained  in  the 
individual  study  guides.  Among  the 
first  discussion  films  in  this  area  these 
films  are  very  well  done  and  meet  a 
substantial   need.

PRODUCER'S  DILEMMA 

(SECOND  INSTALLMENT) 


In  last  month's  installiiicnt  we  left  old 
Sy  Wexlcr  and  old  Bob  Churchill  with 
tears  welling  in  their  eyes  at  the  sight 
ot  a  production  budget  of  $8,336.93.  Can 
they  sell  enough  prims  to  make  a  profit? 
Will  the  previev/  prints  slip  from  ihcir 
trembling,  nerveless  fingers?  On  your 
mark.    Get   set: 

To  find  out  what  they  make  on  each 
print,  add  print  cost  and  distribution 
cost.    Subtract   from  sale  price.    Right? 

lo  keep  this  heart  rending  calculation 
as  simple  as  possible  we'd  better  assume 
that  all  prints  sold  are  in  color  (a  highly 
unlikely  state  ot  affairs).  The  cost  of  a 
I1/2  reel  print  (600  feet  at  .10)  plus  reel 
and  can  is  about  .562.50.    That's  easy. 

But  the  distribution  cost  for  each  print 
sold  isn't  as  simply  determined.  It  consists 
of  such  items  as  a  study  guide  costing 
.5300,  a  mailing  piece  at  $450,  a  dozen 
preview  prints  totaling  $7.50.  Those  are 
costs  that  can  be  allocated  to  a  certain 
picture. 

Then  there  are  annual  costs  that  have 
to  be  divided  among  all  pictures,  such  as 
costs  of  advertising,  shipping,  handling, 
inspecting  and  cleaning  prints,  correspond- 
ing, recording  requests  and  bookkeeping. 
In  short,  overhead.  About  $15,000  for  a 
modest  sized  organization  such  as  ours. 
(Do  we  hear  strangled  sounds  from  other 
producers?  This  is  a  little  like  having  a 
bunch  of  strangers  looking  through  your 
medicine  cabinet.) 

Then  there  is  another  big  bite  for  sales 
representatives  which  ranges  from  15  to 
25%  of  the  sales  price.    So:

Once  upon  a  time  in  a  review  we 
said  that  a  certain  filmstrip  was  de- 
signed "to  use  in  a  discussion  situa- 
tion." Well,  we  wish  we  could  unsay 
or  recall  that  particular  review,  for  it 
implies  that  there  are  times  when 
filmstrips  are  not  to  be  used  for  dis- 
cussion purposes.  If  there  is  anything 
that  should  accompany  the  use  of  film- 
strips,  it  is  discussion.  We  stress  this 
because  so  much  of  the  material  re- 
ceived for  preview  recently  has  been  in 
the  area  of  international  relations  and 
world  affairs.  Should  this  type  of  ma- 
terial be  used  without  plenty  of  time 
allowed  for  discussion,  then  something 
is  radically  wrong  with  our  teaching 
methods.  If  ever  there  was  a  time  when 
thoughtful  consideration  and  discus- 
sion were  called  for,  it  is  now.  Here 
is  the  material;  make  your  own  selec- 
tions, thread  your  projectors  —  but 
then,  for  goodness'  sake  discuss  what 
you  and  your  pupils  are  seeing!  Most 
of  the  troubles  in  the  world  can  be 
traced  to  failure  to  discuss  the  im- 
portant issuesl 

BERLIN 

(Single  strip;  produced  by  Visual 
Education  Consultants,  2066  Helena 
St.,  Madison  4,  Wisconsin;  53.50.)  Ac- 
tually this  is  a  series  of  some  thirty- 
three  pictures,  showing  the  location  of 
Berlin  itself,  areas  affected  by  the  war 
and  the  division  of  the  city  into  zones, 
and  some  of  the  landmarks  within 
city  limits.  What  this  sequence  provides 
is  a  springboard  from  which  to  launch 
into  a  study  of  the  role  of  this  same 
city  in  the  affairs  of  the  nation  of 
which  it  is  the  heart,  and  the  inter- 
national situations  with  which  it  is 
connected.  It  provides  a  series  of  "topi- 
cal sentences"  so  to  speak,  with  which 
to  advance  into  research,  reading  and 
positive  analysis  of  current  newspapers, 
magazines  and  television  programs  and 
news  broadcasts.  Useful  for  social 
studies  at  many  grade  levels. 

CANADA:  PEOPLE  AT  WORK 

(6  strips,  color;  produced  by  Ency- 
clopaedia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil- 
mette  Ave.,  Wilmette,  Illinois;  $3  per 


set,  $6  single  strips.)  At  long  last  we 
seem  to  be  giving  some  well  deserved' 
attention  to  the  affairs  and  people  of 
our  neighbor,  Canada.  This  series  gives 
us  an  over-view  which  ranges  from  one 
coast  to  the  other  and  includes  both 
farm  and  city  activities.  Individual 
titles  give  a  clue  to  subject  coverage  — 
"Fi-shermen  of  Nova  Scotia,"  "Villages 
in  French  Canada,"  "Farm  and  City  in 
Ontario,"  "Wheat  Farmers  of  Western 
Canada,"  "Vancouver  and  the  Western 
Mountains,"  "Logging  in  Canadian  I 
Forests."  The  material  is  designed  to 
highlight  items  included  in  the  aver- 
age curriculum  for  middle  grades  geog- 
raphy in  schools  of  the  United  States. 
It  stresses  both  geographical  factors 
and  ways  in  which  the  people  of  Can- 
ada live  and  work.  One  gets  a  feeling 
of  the  interdependence  of  the  land 
and  its  people.  Photographs  have  been 
well  chosen  to  show  main  areas  of 
historic  interest. 


SCANDINAVIA:  A  REGIONAL  STUDY 

(9  filmstrips,  color;  produced  by  Eye 
Gate  House,  Inc.,  146-01  Archer  St., 
Jamaica  35,  N.  Y.;  §25  per  set,  $4  single 
strips.)  Norway,  Sweden,  Denmark  and 
Finland  provide  the  scenes  for  this 
series.  In  each  instance  attention  is 
given  to  the  land,  the  people  and  the 
industries.  It  is  well  sometimes  to  con- 
sider the  relation  of  these  countries 
to  each  other  —  four  very  diverse 
groups,  all  too  often  regarded  as  being 
"one  Scandinavia."  There  are  unique 
differences  which  make  it  important  to 
understand  each  country  and  to  see  it 
for  what  it  is  as  an  individual  mem- 
ber of  the  group  of  nations  of  the 
world.  That  is  the  most  important 
fact  brought  out  by  these  filmstrips, 
and  makes  them  useful  for  social 
studies. 


CANADIAN  FILMSTRIPS 

(3  strips,  black  and  white;  produced 
by  National  Film  Board  of  Canada 
and  available  from  Stanley  Bowmar 
Co.,  Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  $3  a  strip.)  One 
of  the  best  contributions  made  by  the 
National  Film  Board  of  Canada  has 
been  the  filmstrips  providing  us  with 


92 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  February,   1 959 


detailed  information  about  the  re- 
sources and  people  of  Canada.  The 
three  latest  additions  of  this  are  Intro- 
ducing the  Lowlands,  Farming  in  the 
Lowlands  and  Ships  and  Power.  These 
of  course  focus  our  attention  on  his- 
tory, activities  and  life  in  the  Great 
Lakes  and  St.  Lawrence  areas.  All  too 
little  attention  has  been  given  to  this 
in  our  own  schools,  and  these  strips 
provide  a  great  deal  of  information 
that  is  lacking  in  other  materials  pro- 
duced in  our  own  country.  Many  de- 
tails are  given  about  types  of  farming, 
industrial  centers,  local  activities  and 
population  distribution.  Manuals  for 
each  strip  supply  additional  data  and 
make  the  series  very  useful.  In  fact, 
this  series  actually  amplifies  the  infor- 
mation provided  in  most  texts,  and  is 
to  be  recommended  as  resource  ma- 
terial that  will  prove  very  useful. 

FERMENT  IN  SOUTHEAST  ASIA 

(Single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  Office  of  Educational  Activi- 
ties, N.  Y.  Times,  229  West  43  St.,  New 
York  City;  S2.50  single  strip,  $15  for 
series  of  which  this  is  a  monthly  pro- 
duction.) Wherever  you  look  today 
something  happens  which  turns  your 
attention  to  affairs  in  Southeast  Asia. 
It  is  a  large  area,  much  too  large  to  be 
covered  adequately  in  one  filmstrip. 
The  design  of  this  particular  strip  has 
been  to  concentrate  attention  on  the 
areas  and  problems  involved  in  the 
basic  struggle  between  the  forces  of 
democracy  and  Asian  communist  im- 
perialism. The  filmstrip  is  long  and 
includes  many  scenes  in  Malaya,  the 
Philippines  and  Indonesia.  We  see 
many  geographic  areas,  political  events, 
regional  activities,  and  the  people  con- 
cerned with  all  of  these.  This  strip 
will  serve  best  if  used  in  sections,  and 
made  the  basis  for  a  number  of  lesson 
units.  It  provides  information  useful 
for  both  geography  and  social  studies, 
and  especially  for  study  of  world 
events. 


THIS  IS  CENTRAL  AMERICA 

(8  fihnstrips  as  part  of  an  audiovisual 
kit;  A  Russ  and  Nita  Rosene  produc- 
tion distributed  by  Filmstrips  Dis- 
tributors, Box  397,  Sierra  Madre,  Cali- 
fornia; §6  per  filmstrip,  $55  for  com- 
plete kit;  for  separate  item  prices,  see 
price  list).  The  filmstrips  of  this  series 
are  a  part  of  an  audiovisual  kit  which 
includes  such  materials  as  booklets,  a 
sample  of  typical  Guatemalan  weav- 
ing, money  and  postage  stamps,  cacao 
beans,  coffee  berries  and  a  special  map 
and  record.  The  eight  strips  take  us 
on  a  voyage  to  Guatemala,  El  Salvador, 
Honduras,  Nicaragua,  Costa  Rica  and 


Panama  to  see  both  the  countries  and 
the  people  at  work.  The  record  gives 
us  sounds  along  the  Inter-American 
highway  in  a  very  realistic  way  which 
adds  a  note  of  sincerity  to  the  whole 
set.  The  photographs  are  good  and 
scenes  have  been  well  selected  to 
show  outstanding  activities  and  main 
features  of  a  country.  There  is  much 
that  will  interest  pupils  and  it  is  good 
material  for  social  studies  units  and 
also  for  inter-American  clubs. 

HOW  STRONG  IS  RUSSIA  NOW? 

(Single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  Office  of  Educational  Activi- 
ties, N.  Y.  Times,  229  West  43  St., 
New  York  City;  $2.50  single  strip,  $15 


for  series  of  which  this  is  a  monthly 
production.)  If  any  topic  is  certain  to 
start  discussion,  it  is  likely  to  be  some- 
thing pertaining  to  Russia,  Russian 
affairs,  Russian  strength.  This  filmstrip 
brings  together  a  combination  of 
reports,  photographs  and  analyses  of 
the  Russian  situation  and  activities.  It 
points  to  known  weaknesses  in  the  pro- 
gram of  the  government;  it  indicates 
something  of  what  we  may  expect 
in  the  way  of  reactions  of  the  Russian 
people  themselves  to  their  own  and  to 
foreign  achievements;  it  compares  and 
contrasts  the  foreign  policies  of  Rus- 
sia and  the  U.  S.  Again,  as  with  all  the 
filmstrips  of  this  series,  this  is  a  long 
filmstrip  —  one  which  we  could  hope 
to   see    used    in   sections   for   greatest

The  broad  scope  of  the  series,  covering  five  centuries  of 
America's  growth  and  development  in  all  important  aspects, 
including  our  sociological,  industrial  and  cultural  progress, 
makes  it  an  invaluable  teaching  instrument  in  nearly  every 
phase  of  the  curriculum  —  government,  foreign  affairs, 
science,  economics,  civics,  literature,  art  and  architecture.  A 
comprehensive,  illustrated  Teacher's  Guide,  furnished  free 
with  each  of  the  30  units,  provides  information  and  sugges- 
tions which  lessen  the  need  for  time-consuming  preparation 
by  the  teacher. 

Because 

Superior  educational  quality  and  historical  accuracy  are  guar- 
anteed by  the  scholarship  and  skill  of  top-ranking  historians 
and  visual  education  specialists.  Rare,  contemporary  pictures 
convey  a  remarkable  sense  of  realism  and  of  personal  par- 
ticipation in  the  memorable  events. 

Because 

No  other  filmstrip  series  offers  these  special  features  for 
stimulating  in  our  youth  a  vigorous  spirit  of  alert  and  respon- 
sive citizenship  and  provides  a  solid  historical  basis  for 
understanding  the  vital  problems  of  today.

PROGRESS  IN  SOUTHEAST  ASIA 

(Single  strip,  black  and  wliite:  pro- 
duced by  and  available  from  tlie 
United  Nations.  New  York,  N.  V.,  $3 
a  single  strip,  $2  per  strip  in  quanti- 
ties of  3  or  more.  Sometimes  it  is  hard 
to  visualize  world  affairs  unless  they 
are  related  in  some  way  to  people.  In 
this  instance,  we  are  introduced  to  the 
work  of  the  Economic  Commission  for 
Asia  and  the  Far  East  (EC.\FE)  by  way 
of  a  visit  to  a  rice  farm  in  Burma,  the 
farm  of  one  U  Aung  Tin.  We  see  his 
family,  his  rich  farm,  and  what  mod- 
ernization of  farm  life  has  meant  to 
them  in  terms  of  standards  of  living 
and  economic  well  being.  This  case 
study  highlights  the  work  of  the  inter- 
national social  and  economic  groups, 
and  points  to  efforts  that  have  been 
successful.  The  problems  met  in  Burma 
are  the  same  as  those  encountered  in 
all  underprivileged  and  underdevel- 
oped areas  throughout  the  world.  This 
filmstrip  can  be  made  the  basis  on 
which  to  study  these  problems  and  the 
part  they  play  in  the  larger  programs 
sponsored  by  the  twenty-six  countries 
belonging  to  EC.AFE.  It  is  a  good  strip 
to  use  in  connection  with  social  stud- 
ies units  and  international  affairs,  at 
many  different  grade  levels.

OBJECTIVES  DEFINED 

Records  designed  for  a  specific  pur- 
pose and  with  limited  appeal  have  a 
definite  place  in  the  educational  mar- 
ket. All  too  often  producers  overlook 
the  clear  definition  of  objectives  and 
precise  statement  of  concepts  in  the 
hope  of  broadening  the  market  for  the 
record.  But  in  so  doing  educational 
values  are  frequently  lost  or  severely 
damaged. 

Geneva  records  do  not  fall  into  this 
trap  of  popularity  —  and  therefore  they 
serve  and  serve  well  the  particular 
audience  they  seek.  Geneva  Records 
are  published  by  tlie  Westminster 
Press  (Philadelphia  7,  Pa.)  which  is 
the  publication  division  of  the  Board 
of  Christian  Education  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  in  the  United  States 
of  .America.  Specifically,  the  record 
albums  are  labeled  for  use  "by  or  with 
the  children  ...  in  the  home  ...  in 
Sunday  school  ...  in  weekday  church 
school." 

The  selections  offered  include  Scrip- 
ture (from  the  Old  and  the  New 
Testaments),  poetry,  stories,  songs, 
prayers,  singing  games  and  instrumen- 
tal music.  These  are  carefully  chosen 
and  are  designed  for  participation  as 
well  as  listening.  Performance  on  the 
records  is  adult  insofar  as  the  voices 
are  concerned,  but  is  simple  and  direct 
and  is  easily  understood  by  a  listening 
child.  These  recordings  are  not  in- 
tended for  nor  will  they  be  adequate 
for  any  but  the  youngest  school  chil- 
dren —  but  the  intended  listeners  will 
understand  and  enjoy  tliem. 

The  titles  of  the  four  albums  are 
"Holidays"  and  "My  Family"  which 
are  directed  at  the  3-4-5  year  old  group, 
and  "Through  the  Year"  and  "The 
AV^orld  I  Live  In"  which  are  directed 
at  6-7-8  year  old  cliildren.  Each  album 
contains  four  7  inch  78  rpm  records. 
The  longest  single  side  is  two  and  a 
quarter  minutes,  well  within  the  listen- 
ing attention  of  the  children. 

"The  \V'orld  I  Live  In"  has  as  re- 
cording subtitles  "Creation,"  "Beauty," 


"The  Wide  World  and  I,"  "Order' 
and  "Life."  These  presentations  art 
designed  to  be  used  as  part  of  learninj 
and  play  sitnations.  The  recording  or 
"Life,"  for  instance,  includes  narratioi 
about  life  on  the  earth,  the  sonf 
"Thanks  Be  To  God,"  the  poem  "Whc 
Likes  The  Rain?"  and  the  song  "Storn 
and  Flood  and  Ocean's  Roar."  .All  ol 
this  is  contained  on  one  side  with 
playing  time  of  two  and  a  quartei 
minutes.  The  reverse  side  includes  the 
song  "Oats,  Peas,  Beans  and  Barley 
Grow,"  followed  by  narration  relating 
the  song  to  God's  plan  for  the  growth 
of  living  things.  Then  the  song  "Back 
of  the  Loaf"  is  sung,  the  narrator  in 
troduces  a  scene  involving  the  phmting 
season  in  East  .Africa  and,  finally,  the 
Litany:  "Seeds  W'e  Bring"  is  sung. 

The  producers  of  these  recordings 
have  carefully  defined  their  objectives 
and  their  audience  and  reach  tliat 
group.  In  selected  religious  institutions 
and  schools,  as  well  as  in  many  homes, 
these  recordings  will  be  very  useful. 

Of  general  interest,  but  not  desig^ietl 
for  specific  instructional  purposes,  is 
".And  God  Said,"  recently  released  by 
Epic  Records.  This  (Epic  Records, 
New  York  19,  N.  Y.,  LN  3.534)  is  a 
series  of  stories  from  the  Bible  in  word 
and  song.  From  the  Old  Testament, 
the  stories  of  the  Garden  of  Eden. 
Noah.  .Abraham  and  the  Creation  are 
related.  The  life  of  Jesus  from  birth 
through  crucifixion  is  told  simply  and 
with  great  dignity.  This  recording  is  of 
limited  value  from  an  instructional 
standpoint  but  it  can  be  an  attractive 
and  pleasant  addition  to  a  home  rec- 
ord collection. 

".And  God  Said"  is  entirely  profes- 
sional in  concept,  creation  and  deliv- 
ery. The  narration  is  by  Dana  .An- 
drews of  Broadway  and  Hollywood 
note.  His  presentation  is  clear  and 
dignified  and  entirely  in  keeping  with 
the  theme  and  mood  of  the  recording.

songs  are  sung  by  the  Frank  Raye

1  wo  new  producers  have  recently 
.sued  recordings  of  interest  to  schools. 

rdelle  Manning  Productions  (Palo 
,lto,  California)  offers  "Original  Chil- 

en's  .Activity  Songs"  (.\MP  100)  for 
erv  young  school  children.  There  are 
I'.irlicipation  Songs"  calling  for  chil-

elax  after  playing  or  other  activity. 

Among  the  "Participation  Songs" 
re:  "Good  Morning  Song,"  "Put  Your 
lands  on  Your  Head,"  "We  Clap  to 
he  Music,"  "Walking  .Around  in  a 
lircle,"  "How  Many  Fingers?"  "Right 
land.  Left  Hand,"  "Walking,"  "Dress 
'ourself,"  "What  Is  Your  Name?"  and 
We  Skip  Around  the  Corner."  These 
mgs  are  all  short,  written  with  the 
istening  span  of  the  child  in  mind, 
"he  language  and  directions  are  sim- 
ple and  easy  to  follow.  Children  will 
articularly  enjoy  having  the  teacher 
larticipate  with  them  and  using  the 
ihonograph  as  an  "assistant  teacher" 
or  these  pleasurable  learning  experi- 
nces.  This  "first  production"  is  an 
xceptional  presentation  which  will 
nd  wide  use  and  application  in  ele- 
icntary  schools  in  the  kindergartens  as 
ell  as  in  nursery  schools. 

rile  recordings  may  be  used,  too,  for 
ivirsion  for  vounger  children  in  Sun- 


day school  programs  and  in  camps.  So, 
too.  may  "Read  .Me  A  Story"  (Weston 
W'oods  Studios  -  Weston,  Connecticut, 
I'BP  101)  which  has  recently  been  re- 
leased. These  are  the  Picture  Book 
Parade  stories  read  by  Owen  Jordan 
to  a  musical  accompaniment.  The 
stories  read  include  "Millions  of  Cats," 
"Mike  Mulligan  and  His  Steam  Shov- 
el." ".Make  Way  for  Ducklings"  and 
"Hercules."  The  latter  recording  has 
application,  too,  in  libraries  for  story 
hour  programs  and  for  loan  purposes 
to  the  youngest   borrowers. 

The  recording  of  four  stories  is  in- 
tended for  use  in  the  language  arts 
program  of  the  kindergarten  and  first 
grade.  Alone,  and  without  either  text 
or  pictorial  illustration,  the  recording 
will  have  little  school  value.  However, 
the  recording  can  be  reproduced  while 
children  follow  in  the  books  of  the 
same  title,  or  while  appropriate  illus- 
trations are  projected.  In  school,  this 
can  be  a  useful  "rest"  activity,  or  it  can 
be  used  to  hasten  the  development  of 
listening  skills  as  well  as  to  motivate 
artistic,  oral  and  dramatic  expression. 


Columbia  Records  (New  York  19, 
X.  Y.)  offers  four  new  titles  in  the 
foreign  language  field  which  may  have 
some  interest  for  secondary  school  stu- 
dents. These  are  "Learn  French  in 
Record  Time"  (D2L  246),  "Learn 
Italian  in  Record  Time"  (D2L  247), 
"Learn  Spanish  in  Record  Time" 
(D2L  248)  and  "Learn  German  in 
Record  Time"   (D2L  249). 

These  recordings  all  .serve  a  particu- 
lar purpose,  but  it  is  not  es,sentially  a 
school  purpose.  The  recordings  will 
have  greater  value  in  library  collec- 
tions, for  they  are  all  tourist  oriented 
and  are  intended  to  help  the  traveler 
get  along  in  a  country  he  may  be 
visiting.  Typical  of  the  areas  covered

"At  the  Hotel,"  "Renting  a  Room," 
"Dining  Out,"  "Going  to  Church," 
"Music  Halls  and  Theaters,"  and  "Ex- 
ciianging  Money."  The  information 
contained  in  these  sections  can  be 
valuable  to  the  visitor  in  a  foreign 
country.  An  individual  with  a  back- 
ground in  the  language  can  profit 
from  the  review  of  listening  prior  to 
travel,  but  the  recordings  will  not  be 
a  great  help  in  developing  language 
facility. 

The  recordings  are  accompanied  by 
appropriate  texts  containing  inter  lin- 
gual dictionaries  as  well  as  outlines 
of  grammar  for  each  language.  The 
recordings  and  the  texts  are  prepared 
by  the  Institute  for  Language  Study. 
They  will  add  to  the  pleasures  of  travel 
for  the  visitor  who  prefers  to  use  a 
foreign  language  rather  than  English 
in  travel. 


New,  and  worthy  of  secondary 
school,  college  and  library  attention  is 
the  "Anthology  of  American  Poetry" 
released  by  Lexington  (Pleasantville, 
N.  Y.).  This  "Anthology  of  American 
Poetry"  (Lexington,  LE  7550/7555) 
effectively  covers  the  years  from  Ann 
Bradstreet  (1612-1672)  to  the  late 
nineteenth  century,  and  includes  rep- 
resentative works  from  such  American 
greats  as  Whittier,  Poe,  Holmes,  Tho- 
reau,  Lowell,  Dickinson,  Whitman, 
Emerson  and  Bryant.  Among  the 
poems  read  by  David  Allen,  Nancy 
Marchand  and  David  Hooks  are  "Icha- 
bod,"  "Annabel  Lee,"  "The  Cham- 
bered Nautilus,"  "Inspiration,"  "Lin- 
coln," "Because  I  Could  Not  Stop  for 
Death,"  "I  Hear  America  Singing," 
"Forbearance,"  and  "To  the  Fringed 
Gentian." 

This  anthology  is  a  very  careful  se- 
lection, and  the  readings  are  uniformly 
good.  The  poems  represent  the  moods 
of  the  times  in  which  they  were  writ- 
ten —  tenderness  and  loftiness,  irony 
and  sentiment,  humor  and  gravity. 
This  anthology  dispels  the  thinly 
woven,  almost  transparent  myth  that 
American  poets  were  intellectual  and 
artistic  pygmies,  hardly  worth  even  of 
carrying  quills  for  their  British  con- 
temporaries. The  poems  involved  are 
studied  throughout  the  country  and 
these  artistic  recorded  presentations 
can  add  to  the  pleasures  of  the  study. 

* 
It  is  interesting  to  find  that  libraries 
and  schools  both  are  accelerating  the 
trend  to  audio  documentation  in  in- 
struction as  well  as  in  shelf  collections 
of  current  events  and  history.  This 
was  begun  some  twenty  years  ago, 
when     World     Book     Company     pub- 


lished "Then  Came  War."  This 
album  of  78  rpm  shellac  recording 
no  longer  available,  and  has  becon 
collector's  item.  It  set  a  standard  wl 
has  been  followed  by  leading  recorc 
companies,  including  the  "I  Can  K 
It  Now"  series  of  Edward  R.  Mur 
(Columbia),  the  "Mr.  President"  (Ri 
Victor)  and  many  others. 

Now  the  original  sound  recordi 
of  presidential  inaugural  addresses 
livered  by  Roosevelt  in  1941  and  1 
and  that  of  Truman  in  1949  are  av 
able  from  The  Spoken  Word  (> 
York  16,  N.  Y.)  under  the  title  "F. 
notes  of  History"  (SW-112).  This 
cording  is  precisely  that  —  insofar 
the  addresses  themselves  are  footnt 

—  for  these  are  documentation  of 
highest  order.  Through  these  recc 
ings  —  and   others   similar    to    titer 
teachers    can    effectively    recreate 
atmosphere  of  another  generation, 
atmosphere  of  impending  war  as  v 
as  that  of  the  struggle  for  peace.  T! 

—  the  recordings  —  can  be  presen 
effectively  in  class  in  the  progress 
development  of  listening  skills, 
they  can  be  used  for  assigned  listen 
through  school  library  loan  collectic 
Public  libraries  and  other  collect; 
agencies  documenting  history  as 
make  it  through  newspaper  files  v 
want  to  add  this  newer  form  of  inf 
mation  preservation  and  presentati 
to  their  established  practices. 


Applicable  to  the  immediate  instr " 
tional  situation  is  the  work  of  Em 
LaPrade.  His  talents  now  have  be 
employed  by  C.\BOT  in  the  deveh 
nient  of  two  albums  for  use  in  the  e 
inentary  grades. 

"The  Instruments  of  the  Orchesti 
is  precisely  what  the  name  implies 
an  introduction  musically  to  the  S' 
eral  families  of  the  symphony  orch

which  may  be  used  for  oral  sumnia 
and  examination  by  the  imaginati 
teacher.

Robert    E.   Lewis 

Argus  Prexy  Mores   Up 

After  the  merger  of  Argus  Camera 
with  Sylvania  Electric  Products,  Inc.,  its 
president,  Robert  E,  Lewis,  was  named 
senior  v-p  of  Sylvania.  Last  month  he 
was  elected  president,  his  predecessor, 
Don  C.  Mitchell  becoming  Chairman  of 
the  Board.  When  Sylvania  merges  with 
General  Telephone  Corporation,  Mr.  Lewis 
is  slated  to  become  president  of  the 
combined  "General  Telephone  and  Elec- 
tronics Corporation."  Argus  sales  have 
grown  from  $5  million  in  1950  to  $21 
million   last  year, 

$35  Million— 1959  Tope  Morket 

A  $35  million  market  for  magnetic 
tape  in  1959  was  the  New  Year's  predic- 
tion of  J.  Herbert  Orr,  President  of  OR- 
Radio  Industries,  Inc.,  manufacturers  of 
IRISH  brand  tape.  Tape  sales  in  1958, 
according  to  Mr.  Orr,  were  $21  million. 
He  predicted  that  within  five  years  tape 
sales  will  run  around  $  1  1  5  million  a  year. 
By  the  end  of  1959  approximately  725,- 
000  new  recorders  are  expected  to  be 
added  to  the  present  3 '/z  million  esti- 
mated by  the  Magnetic  Tape  Recording 
Association.  Tape  sales  in  1959  are  ex- 
pected to  total   17  billion  feet. 


Harwald  "Cracker  Barrel" 

The  Harwald  Company,  1  245  Chicago 
Avenue,  Evanston,  Illinois,  announces 
that  its  annual  Open  House  and  Audio- 
Visual  Workshop  will  be  held  in  the 
company's  plant  from  February  26 
through  28,   1959. 

This  year's  session  will  feature  speeches 
by  various  authorities,  representing  the 
different  aspects  of  the  audio-visual 
field.  In  addition,  certain  periods  will  be 
devoted  to  informal  discussions  and 
presentations  of  case  histories  and  new 
developments.  Since  the  field  is  grow- 
ing rapidly,  the  Open  House  and  Work- 
shop  will   be   a    valuable    opportunity   for 


people    from   all    segments    to    meet    and 
exchange  ideas. 

The  Harwald  Company  has  been  manu- 
facturing audio-visual  and  professional 
film  handling  equipment  since  1946. 
Among  its  products  are  the  MM  Supreme, 
16mm  sound  projector;  continuous  slide 
and  motion  picture  projectors;  Inspect- 
O-Film  automatic  film  inspection  ma- 
chine; automatic  hot  splicer;  film 
cleaner;  film  cement.  In  addition,  the 
company  has  recently  expanded  its  facili- 
ties to  handle  a  complete  line  of  film 
accessories,  such  as  screens,  racks,  cabi- 
nets,  recording  tape,   rewinds,  etc. 


New   Prints   For  Old 

Knowledge  Builders  has  revised  its 
film  "Our  National  Government"  to  re- 
flect changes  in  government  since  the 
picture  was  originally  produced.  An 
allowance  of  $7.50  applies  against  the 
$50  purchase  price  when  an  old  print 
of  the  subject  is  turned  in  on  the  pur- 
chase of  the  revision.

to  help  teachers  at  all  grade  levels  clarify 
difficult  to  teach  science  concepts 

I  wcnty  new  1  6111111  sound  motion  pictures  extend  Coronet's 
balanced  program  of  more  than  200  films  on  science  and 
mathematics  for  all  grade  levels.  Emphasis  has  been  placed  on 
certain  aspects  of  this  quality  program :  Films  for  Elementary 
Science  and  Films  for  High  School  Chemistry,  Physics,  and 
liiology.  The  common  purpose  of  the  films  in  all  areas  is  to 
lulp  the  classroom  teacher  do  an  even  better  job  in  clarifying 
difficult-to-teach  science  concepts.  Coronet  films  are  construc- 
ti\e  teaching  aids,  not  substitutes  for  good  teachers. 

i  lie  citizen  of  tomorrow  as  well  as  the  scientist  must  be  well- 
grounded  in  scientific  principles  from  an  early  age.  This 
makes  Coronet  films  so  important  for  the  Elementary  Science 
program.  Accurate,  interesting  teaching  materials  stimulate 
c.  rcative  scientific  thinking  and  new  awareness  of  basic  con- 
ir|its.  They  help  develop  the  scientific  attitude — even  among 

New  funds  for  purchase  available 

Most  of  the  200  Coronet  films  to  help  teach  science  and 
iiKithemutics  may  be  purchased  in  part  nith  funds  now  he- 
coming  available  under  provisions  of  the  195S  National  De- 
fense Education  Act.  This  is  an  excellent  opportunity  to  begin 
I'liilding  a  science  film  program  for  all  grades.  A  list  of  the 
Caronet  films  which  may  he  purchased  under  terms  of  the 
Act  will  be  furnished  on  request.  Please  use  the  coupon  or

the  youngest  pupils.  Some  of  tlie  twenty  new  science  films  for 
use  in  grades  1-6  are:  Trees:  How  We  Identify  Them,  Elec- 
tricity All  About  Us  (Exploring  Science),  Story  of  Our 
Number  System,  Living  and  Non-Living  Things,  and  Under- 
standing Our  Earth:  Rocks  and  Mtnerials. 

Another  area  of  concentration  at  Caronet  Films  has  been  the 
production  of  motion  pictures  for  high  school  Chemistry, 
Physics,  and  Biology — to  help  teach  complex  aspects  of  units 
within  these  courses.  Their  use  permits  competent  teachers 
to  adapt  their  presentations  to  preserve  the  vital  relationship 
between  teacher  and  student.  Films  in  these  areas  are  not 
designed  as  complete  courses;  rather,  they  supplement  present 
efforts  to  teach  more  effectively.  Among  the  new  films  for 
Chemistry,  Physics,  and  Biology  are  The  Laws  of  Gases,  Life 
in  a  Cubic  Foot  of  Air,  Reproduction  in  Plants,  The  Human 
Body:  Nervous  System,  and  Laws  of  Conservation  of  Energy 
and  Matter.

OVER  THE  YEARS 

Flexaium  Audio-Visual  blinds 
will  be  your  most  economical, 

most  practical 
classroom  window  covering! 


Flexalum  A-V  Bunds  give  you  everything  from  full 
daylight  (without  glare)  to  "projection"  darkness — 
yet  they  cost  less  to  install  than  any  combination  of  black- 
out and  conventional  window  covering.  What's  more,  they 
cost  less  to  maintain,  too.  Flexalum's  special  spring-tempered 
aluminum,  wipe  clean  plastic  tape  and  nylon  cord  give 
years  of  trouble-free  service.  (That's  certainly  a  comfort 
in  these  days  of  ever-increasing  maintenance  costs.)  And, 
the  greater  number  of  slats  per  blind,  special  tape  construc- 
tion and  light  trap  channels  enable  you  to  turn  any  class- 
room into  a  dark  auditorium  at  the  flick  of  a  cord.  Less  light 
comes  in  .  .  .  less  money  goes  out — with  Flexalum  A-V 
blinds  .  .  .  sold  with  a  written  five  year  guarantee  by

Cover  Scene 

This  month  our  cover  features  a 
picture  from  the  Pat  Dowling  Picture 
"The  Pioneer  Burro,"  to  be  released 
this  Spring.  Designed  primarily  for 
elementary  school  audiences,  the  film 
relates  the  role  of  the  gold  prospector 
in  the  early  development  of  the  West, 
and  that  of  his  indispensable  helper 
and  companion,  the  burro.  The  color 
film  is  one  and  a  quarter  reels  in 
length. 


And  Still  More 
"Architectural 
Solutions'* 

Paul  C.  Reed  has  contributed  the 
third  of  the  series  ".Architectural  Solu- 
tions for  Audiovisual  Problems"  with 
his  fine  account  of  the  planning  and 
design  of  Rochester's  New  York  East 
High  School.  A  highly  enthusiastic  re- 
sponse from  our  "audience"  indicates 
that  this  series  is  proving  helpful  and 
interesting  reading,  and  the  editors 
would  like  to  encourage  the  submission 
of  manuscripts  containing  new  and

For  some  time  we  have  believed  that 
our  readers  would  like  to  know  more 
about  the  audiovisual  leaders  who 
contribute  to  Edticational  Screen  if 
Audiovisual  Guide.  This  month  a  new 
column  appears  for  the  first  time. 
"With  the  Authors,"  on  page  120,  en- 


deavors to  provide  a  brief  professional 
biography  of  the  contributors,  with 
the  idea  that  .some  knowledge  of  an 
author's  training,  researcli  and  pracii- 
cal  experience  may  shed  light  on  and 
add  value  to  his  writing. 

Report  from  ACAVEI 

.'\  recenl  bulletin  from  the  Ameri 
can  Council  for  Audio-Visual  Educa- 
tion in  Israel  adds  some  interesting 
sidelights  to  Dr.  Florence  Freedman's

Unit  presented  by  HIAS  through  the 
efforts  of  Mrs.  Berg  and  Dr.  Freedman, 
the  National  Safety  Council  in  Tel- 
,\viv.  Several  organizations  and  private 
donors  have  given  generously  to  the 
equipment  of  the  Israeli  Audio-Visual 
Department.  .Among  them  are  Adolph

TECNIFAX  "VISUCOM"^   PROGRAM 


The  Tecnifax  "Visucom"  Program  offers  to  educa- 
tional executives  and  teachers;  and  to  industrial, 
military  and  governmental  training  personnel,  an  op- 
portunity to  gain  experience  in  the  utilization  of  the 
Diazotype  Processes,  Photography,  and  Photo-Copy- 
ing, as  visual  communication  tools. 

Workshop  courses  for  qualified  applicants  are  off- 
ered on  three  or  five-day  bases,  or  longer,  if  required, 
and  are  conducted  continuously  throughout  the  year 
at  the  Tecnifax  plant  in  Holyoke,  Massachusetts. 
There  is  no  charge  for  fhe  facilities,  materials,  and  in- 
struction which  comprise  the  program. 

The  Visucom  Program  is  designed  to  develop,  or  to 
increase  skills,  in  the  creation,  production  and  presen- 
tation of  Visual  Communication.  Emphasis  is  placed  on 
the  preparation  of  transparencies  for  overhead  pro- 
jection; but  attention  is  also  given  to  other  techniques 
for  preparing  visual  devices.  The  psychology  of  com- 
munication comes  in  for  extensive  discussion.  The  pro- 
gram provides  facilities  for  working  out  the  details  of 

'VISUAL  COMMUNICATION 


your  specific  visualization  projects.  A  certificate  of 
completion  of  this  program  will  be  issued  to  those  who 
qualify. 

If  you  wish  to  learn  more  about  the  Tecnifax  Visu- 
com Program,  please  write  to  Section  VP,  Visucom  Lab- 
oratories, Tecnifax  Corporation,  Holyoke,  Massachu-

Superintendent  Jackson.  He  spoke 
highly  of  the  audiovisual  work  in  his 
own  state,  especially  that  of  the  seven 
regional  film  libraries  each  associated 
with  a  teaclier  training  institution  and 
serving  the  schools  in  its  area.  "States 
like  ours  want  to  use  federal  money 
to  strengthen  what  we  already  have." 
Mr.  King  made  it  clear  that  there 
was  no  notion  anywhere  of  federal 
control  over  the  agencies  that  vary 
widely  from  state  to  state.  Each  state 
agency  was  responsible  for  the  formu- 
lation of  its  own  plan;  this,  when  cer- 
tified by  the  state's  attorney  general  as 
coming  from  the  properly  qualified 
state  educational  authority,  was  exam- 
ined in  Washington  only  to  the  extent 
of  determining  that  it  conformed  to 
the  purposes  set  forth  by  Congress. 
Some  27  such  plans  are  already  in 
Washington  and  the  first  batch  of  ap- 
provals was  expected  momentarily. 
Each  state  would  report  its  own  sci- 
ence, etc.,  status,  propose  its  own  exten- 
sions, set  its  own  priorities,  establish 
its  own  standards,  decide  its  own 
matching  fund  ratios,  and  administer 
its  own  share  of  the  federal  funds  al- 
located to  it,  in  bulk,  on  the  basis  of 
its  original  plan.  In  the  course  of  ex- 
tensive questioning,  it  was  brought  out 
that,  aside  from  special  nonmatching 
funds  for  state  agency  organization  and 


supervision,  all  aid  under  Article  III 
would  have  to  go  direct  to  elementary 
and  secondary  .schools  on  the  local 
level.  Thus  state-owned  film  libraries 
woidd  not  at  present  benefit,  but  lo- 
cally owned  resources,  including  those 
cooperatively  operated  by  schools  in 
a  county  or  other  area.  Nor  would 
an  elementary  school  operated  by  a 
teacher  training  institution  be  eligible 
for  Act  funds  as  the  law  now  stands. 
Other  questions  brought  the  answer 
that  local  schools'  purchasing  routines 
would  follow  those  prescribed  in  ex- 
isting state  statutes  and  regulations.  In 
general,  a  principal  would  request  fi- 
nancial aid  for  the  purchase  of  equip- 
ment or  materials  for  specified  uses 
covered  by  the  Act,  this  would  clear 
through  the  city  and/or  county  super- 
intendent and  be  paid  by  the  disburs- 
ing officer  named  in  the  state's  plan. 

Standards  to  be  met  by  equipment 
sought  under  the  Act  would  be  set  by 
the  state,  but  some  uniformity  was  like- 
ly in  view  of  the  action  of  a  recent 
meeting  of  Chief  State  School  Officials, 
at  East  Lansing,  in  seeking  help  from 
the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Standards. 

Dr.  Austin  Meadows  stressed  the  im- 
portance of  Title  VII  (Research  and 
Experimentation)  to  the  future  both 
of  education  in  general  and,  specifi- 
cally, to  the  audiovisual  field  and  indus-

try.  The  committee  on  which  he  serves 
has  already  received  some  50  proposed 
"projects."  To  be  accepted  these  must 
be,  he  said,  sponsored  by  a  responsible 
organization,  headed  by  a  competent 
qualified  investigator,  and  be  com- 
pleted within  18  months.  The  dissem- 
ination of  valid  research  findings,  and 
their  impact  in  teacher  training  and 
in  in-service  utilization,  will  accelerate 
immeasurably  the  growth  of  the  audio- 
visual field. 

Don  White,  NAVA  v-p,  urged  the 
dealers  to  encourage  the  weaving  of 
audiovisuals  into  the  science,  math  and 
language  budgets  in  terms  of  their  es- 
sential contribiuion  to  the  improve- 
ment of  teaching  in  those  areas.

The  VIEIMTLEX  V-SOO 


The  projector  with  features  of  the  future — Viewlex 
V-500  Combination  35min  Filmstrip  and  2"  x  2"  Slide 
Projector  makes  your  teaching  easier.  Automatic  film 
threading  means  —  you  just  slide  the  film  into  the 
projector  channel  and  it  threads  itself.  Then  film 
winds  neatly  onto  take-up  reel  —  automatically. 
Projects  single  or  double  frame,  horizontally  or  ver- 
tically. The  500  watt  lamp  in  the  exclusive  light 
multiplier  optical  system  gives  evenly  distributed 
light  to  every  section  of  the  screen  —  more  light  than 
other  projectors  of  even  higher  wattage  .  .  .  and  your 
pictures  always  stay  in  focus.  An  exclusive  reverse 
jet-action  suction  fan  draws  cool  air  in  and  around 
the  film  first  —  circulates  it  quickly  throughout  the 
projector  —  dissipating  lamp  heat  out  of  side  vents. 
Sealed  top  eliminates  any  distracting  light  leakage. 
An  added  aid  is  the  built-in  magnifier  pointer  that 
actually  enlarges  any  portion  of  projected  filmstrip 
image  to  fix  attention  on  details  under  discussion. 
Comes  complete  with  5"  f /3.5  Luxtar  lens  and  slip-on 
aircraft  carrying  case. 

3",  7",  9"  and  11"  lenses  available. 
For  even  greater  brilliance  the  V-500  is  also  avail- 
able with  a  5"  f /2.8  Luxtar  lens. 

All  Viewlex  projectors  are  GUARANTEED  FOR  A  LIFETIME.

Automation  in  foreign  language  study!  New  tape 
teaching  method  stimulates  enthusiasm  and  re- 
sponse in  students,  makes  teachers'  efforts  more 
rewarding.  In  modern  language  training  centers, 
students  take  individual  lessons  from  master  tapes, 
record  their  own  "lessons."  Personal  attention  isn't 
lost  —  teachers  are  in  voice  contact  with  a// students. 

Ekotape  recorders  are  specified  for  many  new

At  Valley  Oaks  Elementary  School,  Spring  Branch  Independent  School  District,  Houston,  Texas — selected  by 
A.A.S.A.  for  showing  at  its  exhibit  of  outstanding  school  designs — Mrs.  Lois  Land,  Director  of  Special  Services,  says: 


"In  our  modern  schools, 

glass -walled  rooms  are  hard  to  darken. 

That's  why  we  use  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors. 


"In  keeping  with  modern  architectural  trends,  our 
schools  are  built  with  lots  of  glass. 

"At  the  same  time,  in  keeping  with  modern  educa- 
tional thinking,  we  use  instructional  films  in  practically 
every  course  we  teach  in  the  Spring  Branch  Independ- 
ent School  District.  And  we  show  the  films  right  in 
these  hard-to-darken  classrooms.  So,  picture  brilliance 
is  a  major  factor  in  our  selection  of  a  motion  picture 


projector.  We  have  bought  only  Kodak  Pageant  Pro- 
jectors for  three  years  now,  because  they  give  us  maxi- 
mum brightness — and  we  have  no  maintenance  trou- 
bles with  them,  either." 

Kodak  Pageant's  Super-40  Shutter  provides  40% 
more  light  on  the  screen  than  an  ordinary  shutter  at 
sound  speed.  Your  Kodak  A  V  Dealer  has  the  complete

Israel,  Giant  Laboratory 


by  Florence  Freedman 


DURING  my  recent  visit  to  Israel,  I  thought 
the  term  most  applicable  to  it  is  "labora- 
tory," for  many  experiments  are  going  on  in 
that  small  country  of  8,000  square  miles  and 
two  million  inhabitants  —  experiments  social, 
economic,  political  and,  above  all  and  interrelat- 
ing all,  educational.  In  Israel  there  are  seven 
different  types  of  social  organization  in  the  vari- 
ous cities  and  settlements.  There  are  a  number 
of  political  parties,  of  which  twelve  are  repre- 
sented in  the  Knesset  (Parliament).  There  is 
every  type  of  economic  life  from  capitalist  to 
communal,  and  a  varied  population  composed 
of  Jews  from  seventy  countries,  as  well  as  of 
Moslems,  Christians  and  Druse.  Of  the  two  mil- 
lion inhabitants,  almost  one-half  had  immigrated 
during  the  ten  years  since  the  State  was  estab- 
lished, among  them  35,000  Arab  refugees  who 
had  been  invited  to  rejoin  their  families  in 
Israel,  and  about  450,000  Jewish  refugees  from 
Arab  lands. 

Because  of  the  nature  of  the  population,  the 
counterparts  of  all  the  educational  problems  we 
have  in  the  United  States  are  to  be  found  in 
Israel,  but  in  a  more  intensive  form.  The  teach- 
ing of  a  new  language  to  children  and  adults, 
the  teaching  of  new  ways  of  life  (which  often 
require  an  individual  to  span  the  centuries  be- 
tween a  medieval  and  a  modern  world  within 
a  short  time),  the  teaching  of  an  appreciation 
of  the  history  and  ideals  of  their  new  homeland 
—  all  these  present  problems  and  challenges  to 
educators. 

Audiovisual  materials,  which  help  to  pierce 
the  barrier  of  a  strange  language  and  which 
make  new  concepts  understandable,  are  highly 
prized  and  widely  used.  Many  Israeli  educators 
have  come  to  the  United  States,  as  well  as  to 
other  countries,  to  learn  about  methods  and  ma- 
terials in  audiovisual  education.  Some  of  these 
educators  have  been  received,  advised  and  guided 
by  the  American  Council  on  Audio-Visual  Edu- 
cation in  Israel,  of  which  Mrs.  Esther  L.  Berg 
is  Chairman,  and  have  been  greatly  helped  by 
Boards  of  Education  and  the  divisions  of  audio- 


visual education  in  our  schools  and  colleges.  The 
principal  of  the  Hebrew  University  High  School, 
for  example,  received  his  doctorate  in  the  field 
of  audiovisual  education  in  the  United  States. 
He  has  recently  written  the  article  on  audio- 
visual education  for  the  Israeli  Educational 
Encyclopedia  now  being  prepared.  After  some 
discussion  of  the  proper  translation  of  the  term 
"audiovisual"  into  Hebrew,  and  the  use  of  two 
different  terms  for  some  years,  it  has  been  de- 
cided to  call  this  kind  of  learning  "Mamchashah" 
(sensory  learning). 

During  my  stay  in  Israel  I  visited  elementary 
schools,  high  schools,  vocational  schools,  the 
pedagogic  center  which  serves  them,  teachers' 
seminaries,  and  other  institutions  of  higher 
learning.  I  was  greatly  impressed  by  the  maximal 
use  given  to  the  limited  equipment  available. 

Most  widespread,  of  course,  are  the  audio- 
visual experiences  which  require  no  mechanical 
equipment  —  the  field  trip  and  the  exhibition. 
To  the  tourist  it  seems  as  if  all  Israel  is  forever 
taking  to  the  open  road.  Groups  of  children  hike 
all  over  the  country,  learning  history,  the  Bible, 
geography,  and  natural  science  as  they  go. 

Adults,  too,  are  taken  on  such  trips.  The  for- 
eign sightseer,  in  his  bus,  sees  other  happy  sight- 
seers from  Yemen,  from  Morocco,  from  India  — 
traveling  in  trucks  or  in  wagons  hitched  to  trac- 
tors to  learn  about  their  new  land. 

The  exhibition  as  a  teaching  device  is  widely 
used.  At  the  close  of  the  school  year,  every  ele- 
mentary school  had  elaborate  exhibits  made  by 
the  students  for  parents  and  visitors  to  see.  Those 
I  saw  in  a  school  in  Tel  Aviv  were  graphic  and 
ingenious  representations  of  what  the  children 
had  learned. 

Filmstrips  are  next  in  popularity,  with  film- 
strip  machines  and  films  in  several  centers  from 
which  they  are  distributed  to  schools  in  each 
area.  A  great  deal  is  being  done  with  motion 
pictures,  too,  wherever  machines  are  available 
in  general  teaching,  as  well  as  in  special  fields 
such  as  safety  and  health. 

I  was  particularly  interested  in  the  use  made

of  audiovisual  materials  in  citizenship  education 
for  adults.  This  program  is  directed  by  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Information  which  works 
under  the  Ministry  of  Education.  It  reaches  teen- 
agers, adults  and  some  of  the  children  in  hun- 
dreds of  small  settlements  throughout  the  coun- 
try. Each  settlement  receives  one  unified  program 
each  month,  using  film,  filmstrips  and  record- 
ings. The  programs  are  planned  at  the  offices  in 
Jerusalem,  created  in  the  film  and  recording  stu- 
dios, and  distributed  through  centers  in  other 
parts  of  the  country.  Each  month  the  program 
consists  of  the  following:  a  film  on  current 
events  with  a  narration  on  tape  to  suit  the  lan- 
guage level  and  background  of  the  audience; 
a  filmstrip  on  a  special  subject  each  month  (de- 
partments of  the  government,  for  example);  and 
recordings  of  speeches  and  songs.  Manuals  for 
teachers  and  leaders,  posters  and  other  illustra- 
tive materials  are  prepared  in  Jerusalem  and  sent 
out  in  advance  of  the  program.  In  each  settle- 
ment during  the  weeks  between  the  monthly 
programs,  local  teachers  and  leaders  conduct 
clubs,  hold  meetings  and  lectures  with  the  guid- 
ance of  the  regional  representative  of  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Information. 

To  do  this  work  throughout  the  country 
there  is  just  one  well-equipped  audiovisual  mo- 
bile unit  (donated  by  the  Women's  Division  of 
United  HIAS  Service).  This  has  a  motion  picture 
projector,  a  filmstrip  projector,  opaque  projec- 
tor, tape  recorder,  record  player,  public  address 
system  and  a  generator  so  that  it  can  be  used 
in  settlements  which  have  no  electricity.  This 
unit  is  now  in  the  Lachish  area,  not  far  from 
Beersheba,  where  many  villages  of  new  immi- 
grants have  been  established  in  a  new  "ship  to 
settlement"  program.  The  unit  can  visit  only 
twenty  settlements  a  month.  Other  programs 
are  delivered  via  jeeps,  with  the  few  projectors 
getting  hard  use  in  several  settlements  every 
evening.

EVliRV  one  ol  tlie  more  ili;m  80 
classrooms  in  Rochester's  new 
East  Higli  Scliool  has  been  planned 
and  hnilt  so  that  tearhers  can  read- 
ily use  ain  kind  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials and  ecjuijiment  in  their 
teaching.  In  lact,  it  was  the  intent 
of  those  who  planned  this  second- 
ary school,  lor  the  instruction  of 
twenty  five  himdred  pupils,  that 
the  classroom  enviionment  itself 
slioidd  encourage  teachers  to  use 
audiovisual   materials. 

A  first  glance  at  the  artist's  sketch 
of  a  typical  classroom  in  East  Higli 
School  may  not  tell  you  all  that  has 
been  done  to  make  these  audio- 
visual classrooms.  Let  nie  point  to 
a  few  of  the  features. 

Audiovisual  blinds  are  being 
furnished  for  all  rooms  so  that  out- 
side light  may  be  controlled  and 
rooms  darkened  to  meet  all  pro- 
jection standards. 

A  tri-purpose  white  metal  chalk- 
iraard  is  in  the  middle  of  the  front 
wall,  which  may  be  used  as  a  chalk- 
board, as  a  magnetic  bulletin  board, 
and,  imder  conditions  where  the 
shape  and  light  level  of  the  class- 
room permit,  as  a  projection  sur- 
face. (This  has  been  tried  in  a 
prototype  installation  and  found  to 
be  effective.) 

There  are  electric  outlets  on 
four  sides  of  each  room. 

A  conduit  runs  from  the  rear  to 
the  front  of  each  room  carrying  the 
wires  for  projector  speakers.  Pro- 
jectors are  plugged  into  the  rear 
wall;  speakers  in  the  front. 

Facilities  for  the  reception  of 
closed  and  open  circuit  television 
programs  have  been  provided.  Out- 
lets at  the  front  of  each  classroom 
connect  via  conduit  with  the  radio- 
television  studio  and  the  Forum 
Room.  Here,  at  this  center,  open 
circuit  programs  can  be  received 
and  re-distributed  to  all  classrooms; 
or  closed  circuit  programs  origi- 
nating here  or  at  twelve  remote 
locations  in  the  building  may  be 
redistributed  to  all  classrooms. 

The  usual  public  address  system 
facilities  provide  speakers  in  all 
classrooms  connected  with  a  com- 
plete sound  distribution  system. 

Added  space  has  been  provided 
as  a  conference  alcove  at  the  rear 
of  each  classroom  with  bookshelves, 
cabinets,  and  display  space. 

Planning  for  this  building,  which 
will  be  in  use  in  September  1959, 
began  in  January  1954.  An  "Audio- 
Visual  Committee"  was  but  one  of 
more  than  twentv  committees  that 


woikcd  consc  iciiiiously  for  six 
months  to  determine  and  set  clown 
their  ideas  of  what  was  needed  in 
the  new  school  if  it  were  to  achieve 
its  pur|K)ses.  Each  commiltee  was 
mack'  u|)  of  teachers  from  sc\eial 
schools  and  experts  from  the  com- 
munity. The  audiovisual  ccjnimit- 
tee,  for  instance,  included  Adrian 
Ter  I.ouw  from  Eastman  Kodak 
(Company,  Dr.  Sherwin  Swartout 
from  the  State  Teachers  College  in 
ncaiby  Hrockport,  an  engineer  and 
program  director  from  television 
stations,  in  addition  to  teachers  and 
audiovisual  specialists  from  the 
schocils. 

The  report  of  the  Audio-Visual 
Committee  tor  East  High  School 
was  submitted  to  the  Steering  Com- 
mittee in  June  1954.*  Ry  the  end 
of  that  summer  it  had  been  thor- 
oughly reviewed  and  consolidated 
with  the  reports  of  other  commit- 
tees. The  master  plan  and  specifi- 
cations were  then  approved  by  the 
Hoard  of  Education  and  submitted 
to  the  architects.  (All  of  the  pre- 
liminary planning  had  preceded 
the  selection  of  architects.)  In  ef- 
lect,  the  specifications  said  to  Far- 
agher  and  Macomber,  the  archi- 
tects, "here  is  what  we  want  to  do 
in  this  school,  now  you  design  the 
most  efficient  structure  in  which 
these  things  can  be  accomplished." 
Practically  every  single  recom- 
mendation of  the  audiovisual  com- 
mittee has  now  been  built  into  the 
new  school. 

So  it  didn't  just  happen  that 
every  one  of  the  more  than  eight v 
classrooms  in  this  school  is  an 
audiovisual  room.  It  is  the  result 
of  careful  and  reasoned  planning. 
Here  for  instance  is  the  kind  of 
convincing  statement  the  committee 
made  about  classroom  audiovisual 
facilities  in  their  report. 

"In  the  study  made  by  Dr.  Anna 
Hyer  of  Rochester's  secondary 
school  audiovisual  program  in  1951, 
the  needs  for  classroom  projection 
were  emphasized.  She  interviewed 
teachers  and  principals  in  eight 
high  schools  concerning  the  deter- 
rents preventing  teachers  from  using 
audiovisual  materials.  She  reported, 
'The  need  for  darkened  rooms  was 
mentioned  more  frecjuently  than 
any  other  need.  A  large  percent  of 
those  interviewed  felt  that  the  ideal 
was  every  room  darkened.  Four  of 
the  eight  principals  specifically 
mentioned  this  also.' 

"//  the  committee  were  to  make

but  a  single  recommendation  in  i 
gard  to  the  audiovisual  facilities  /( 
n  new  East  Hiirli  Scliool,  it  won 
insist  that  there  be  complete  lig,

This  seems  to  the  committee 
minimum  essential  requiiemei 
upon  XL'hich  any  use  of  projecti 
materials  in  the  instructional  pr 
gram  must  be  based." 

The  .\uclio\isual  Committee  w; 
also  concerned  with  the  audiovisu 
ecjui])ment  teachers  would  neei 
but  first  it  wisely  wanted  to  mal 
sure  there  wcjuld  be  an  opportunii 
to  use  that  ecpiipment  and  to  use 
where  il  was  needed  —  in  the  clas 
rooms.  The  committee  did  no 
however,  make  specific:  recomme: 
dations  as  to  1k:>w  many  pieces  c 
each  kind  of  equipment  should  I; 
provided.  It  established  a  principl 
and  a  goal,  tliat  all  kinds  of  eqiiij 
nient  should  be  made  immrdiatei 
available  to  each  teacher.  In  othc 
words,  if  a  teacher  is  to  do  his  be; 
teaching  he  has  a  right  to  use  wha 
ever  audiovisual  equipment  he  bi 
lieves  is  necessary.  Further,  the  ac 
ministration  has  the  responsibilit 
to  make  that  equipment  reaclil 
available  so  that  it  can  be  usei 
with  the  least  effort.  Specificalh 
here's  what  the  committee  said  i 
its  report: 

"Based  upon  the  instruction;! 
needs  of  teachers  as  outlined  ii

TEACHERS 


NEED 


IN-SERVICE 


AV  TRAINING 


AN  old  Chinese  proverb  claims  one  picture  is 
worth  10,000  words.  If  we  accept  this,  we 
must  recognize  the  importance  of  audiovisual 
materials  in  today's  progressive  teaching  pro- 
gram. Methods  and  procedures  once  successful 
in  the  school  rooms  of  the  past  are  presently 
inadequate,  and  today's  teachers  are  experienc- 
ing the  need  to  adopt  improved  techniques  and 
methods  to  reach  the  minds  and  stimulate  the 
thinking  of  youth. 

The  process  of  strengthening  the  effectiveness 
of  a  faculty  cannot  be  left  to  chance.  Compre- 
hensive programs  for  in-service  education  are 
needed  throughout  the  American  school  system. 
The  continued  improvement  of  teaching  meth- 
ods should  be  of  utmost  concern  to  all  who  have 
a  part  in  existing  and  future  educational  pro- 
grams. 

It  follows  that  plans  designed  to  bring  about 
this  condition  can  be  most  effective  after  a 
teacher  has  had  on-the-job  experience.  This  then 
implies  that  such  a  goal  might  be  achieved 
through  a  program  of  informative,  in-service 
education. 

Currently,  educators  accept  the  premise  that 
the  use  of  audiovisual  materials  improves  in- 
struction. There  are  three  challenges  in  initiat- 
ing the  use  of  teaching  aids  in  the  class  room. 
First,  the  materials  must  be  made  available;  sec- 
ond, the  desire  to  use  the  materials  must  be 
engendered  in  the  heart  of  the  teacher;  and 
third,  the  teacher  must  be  trained  to  achieve 
competencies  in  utilization  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials. 

An  investigation  of  the  audiovisual  in-service 
teacher  training  programs  in  several  of  the  lead- 
ing school  districts  throughout  the  United  States 
has  been  made  to  determine  the  methods,  pro- 
cedures, techniques  and  materials  found  to  be 
of  greatest  value.  Through  research  and  inter- 
views, a  check  list  was  formulated  to  aid  in 
obtaining  criteria. 

Eighty-eight  school  districts  were  selected  from 
a  roster  of  the  participants  of  a  national  audio- 
visual conference  sponsored  by  the  National 
Education  Association  Department  of  Audio- 
Visual  Instruction  held  during  March  1958. 
Twelve  other  school  districts  in  the  central  and 
western  states  were  also  chosen  to  balance  the 
geographical  distribution.  A  letter  asking  for 
indication  of  cooperation  and  interest  was  mailed 
to  each  selected  district.  Eighty-five  replied  in  the 
affirmative  and  in  turn  were  mailed  check  lists. 
Of  the  85,  78  (over  90  percent  returned  the 
check  list. 

The  data  collected  indicated  that  the  size  of 
the  school  district  did  not  necessarily  assure  a

Here  are  some  recommendations  for 
in-service  teacher  training  in  audio- 
visual techniques,  based  upon  a  nation- 
■wide  survey  of  school  districts. 


good  training  prograril;  rather,  the  audiovisual 
tin-service  training  of  teachers  was  individualistic 
Hor  each  school  district  and  was  primarily  deter- 
Imined  by  the  type  of  leadership  existing  within 
|the  administrative  staff. 

A  training  method  which  is  effective  continues 
Ito  be  used.  It  was  interesting  to  note  that  many 
jf  the  school  districts  indicated  the  use  of  sim- 
ilar kinds  of  in-service  procedures. 

Recommendations  were  made  based  upon  the 
techniques,  materials,  facilities  and  supports 
luilized  by  more  than  50  percent  of  the  school 
districts  participating  in  this  study. 

The  accumulated  data  suggests  that  an  opti- 
mum audiovisual  in-service  teacher  training  pro- 
gram should  include  the  following  categories 
and  subdivisions: 

1.  Department  organization 

a.  The  district  should  have  an  audiovisual 
director. 

b.  He  should  be  a  full  time  specialist. 

G.  The  district  should  have  a  formally  or- 
ganized audiovisual  in-service  teacher  training 
program. 

2.  Formal  group  activities. 

a.  The  audiovisual  department  should  sponsor 
college  courses  in  audiovisual  education. 

b.  Institutes  and  short  coiuses  in  audiovisual 
education  should  be  held  by  the  department. 

c.  Worlcshops  should  be  conducted. 
.^.  Informal  group  activities 

a.  The  audiovisual  director  should  conduct 
individual  faculty  meetings  in  the  schools  to  en- 
courage audiovisual  methods  in  teaching. 

b.  An  orientation  meeting  for  new  teachers 
should  be  held  to  acquaint  them  with  the  audio- 
visual program. 

c.  Demonstrations  of  new  materials,  equip- 
ment and  devices  as  teaching  aids  shoidd  be 
given. 

d.  Study  groups  for  audiovisual  methods 
should  be  formulated  in  the  subject  areas. 

e.  Preview  committees  should  be  formulated 
to  select  audiovisual  materials  for  classroom  use. 

1.  Individual  teacher  techniques 

a.  The  audiovisual  director  shoidtl  hold  in- 
dividual  teacher  conferences. 

b.  .\n  audiovisual  bulletin  should  be  issued 
by  the  director. 

5.  Indirect  techniques 

a.  The  director  should  work  in  close  coopera- 
tion with  supervisors  of  other  subject  areas. 

b.  He  shoultl  be  included  in  the  curriculum 
development  committees. 

c.  .Audiovisual  exhibits  should  be  provided  to 
actively  increase  the  interest  of  teachers. 

d.  Tiie  director  should   utilize  specialized   re- 


source personnel  in  the  areas  in  which  they  can 
be  most  efficiently  used. 

e.  He  should  contact  people  of  the  community 
to  secure  teaching  aids. 

6.  Materials  provided 

a.  The  district  should  provide  materials  for 
the  production  of  teaching  aids. 

b.  Audiovisual  magazines  should  be  pur- 
chased for  all  professional  libraries. 

c.  Audiovisual  books, 

d.  Catalogs  of  materials, 

e.  Recordings  for  audiovisual  in-service  train- 
ing, 

f.  Films  for  teacher  training,  and 

g.  Filmstrips  to  promote  in-service  professional 
teacher  growth  should  be  in  the  professional 
libraries. 

7.  Physical  facilities  provided 

a.  There  should  be  a  preview  room  in  all 
school  buildings. 

b.  The  district  should  supply  a  laboratory 
where  materials  are  produced. 

c.  A  laboratory  where  teachers  could  originate 
teaching  aids  should  be  a  part  of  the  facilities 
provided. 

d.  There  should  be  storage  space  in  all  the 
individual  rooms  of  the  buildings  for  audio- 
visual equipment,  materials  and  devices. 

e.  A  professional  library  should  be  in  the  cen- 
tral administration  building. 

8.  Financial  support 

a.  Money  should  be  furnished  by  the  school 
district  to  provide  materials  for  the  professional 
libraries. 

b.  The  school  district  should  provide  money 
to  pay  for  travel  to  national  audiovisual  con- 
ferences. 

After  this  basic  program  is  well  established  in 
a  district  the  following  extensions  of  the  pro- 
gram would  improve  it: 

1.  Released  time  for  inter  and  intra-school 
visitations  to  observe  audiovisual  teaching  tech- 
niques in  use. 

'1.  Field  trips  to  stimulate  teacher  interest  in 
audiovisual  methods  of  instruction. 

.*?.  A  professional  library  in  all  the  individual 
schools. 

4.  Released  time  for  the  individual  teacher 
to  prepare  teaching  aids. 

5.  Provide  a  special  fund  to  assist  the  teacher 
with  the  enrollment  fees  of  audiovisual  course 
work  during  the  summer. 

The  organization  and  continued  success  of  an 
effective  audiovisual  in-service  teacher  training 
program  has  a  notable  relationship  to  the  inter- 
est and  continued  vision  of  the  administrative 
staff  of  the  school  district.

Dynamic  Aids  for 
Teaching  Math 


THE  power  and  usefulness  of  mathematics  lie 
primarily  in  the  abstract  quality  of  its  sym- 
bolism. Yet  in  this  quality  of  abstraction  there 
exists  a  great  danger  — the  invitation  to  the 
teacher  to  over-emphasize  the  development  of 
operational  skills  at  the  expense  of  understand- 
ings, meaning,  and  applications.  The  danger  of 
omitting  many  of  the  meaningful  experiences 
in  the  mathematics  classroom  is  very  likely  today 
with  the  existing  pressures  for  accelerated  mathe- 


130 


matics  programs. 

A  variety  of  carefully  selected  aids  that  pupils 
can  see  and  touch  and  make  are  being  used 
effectively  by  many  teacher.s  to  help  make  mathe- 
matics an  interesting,  dynamic,  meaningful  and 
useful  subject.  These  include  items  such  as  the 
following: 

(a)  Tools  and  Eqiiipinenl —  mcdsuiin^  tape, 
calipers,  stop  watch,  slide  rule,  transit,  alidade, 
calculator,     drawing     instruments,     chalkboard 

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  March,    1959 


equipment,  llannel  board,  spherical  globe,  par- 
allel rulers,  pantograjjh,  graph  paper,  lettering 
pens,  stajjler,  hammer,  scales,  units  of  volume 
measure,  cardboard  trimmer,  duplicating  mate- 
rials, and  storage  cabinets. 

(b)  Models  and  Manipulative  Materials  — 
abacus,  mock-up  ol  vernier  caliper,  demonstra- 
tion slide  rule,  hinged  strips  of  wood  to  demon- 
strate angle,  plastic  square-inch  grid  for  area 
measure,  adjustable  tjuadiilateral,  ones-tens- 
hundreds  materials,  fractional  disks,  and  models 
lor  V  =  Ivvh  and  A  =  Trr-. 

(c)  Printed  Materials  —  reference  books, 
charts,  majjs,  and  booklets. 

(d)  Projected  Materials —  mouon  films,  film- 
strips,  slides,  opaques,  and  transparencies  for 
overhead  projector. 

(e)  Raw  Materials  — -wood,  cardboard,  plastic, 
screws,  bolts,  flaimel,  ink,  glue,  rubber  bands, 
paint,  and  nails. 

It  is  important  that  the  selection  of  instruc- 
tional aids  in  mathematics  be  made  a  school- 
wide  or  county-wide  project.  Some  of  the  aids 
such  as  stop  watch,  scales,  globes,  calipers,  polar 
coordinate  graph  board,  films  and  filnistrips  may 
be  used  only  occasionally  by  a  teacher;  the  pur- 
chase of  these  items  should  certainly  be  a  coop- 
erative affair  in  order  not  to  have  duplications 
of  little-used  items.  At  the  present  time  there 
is  great  need  for  teachers  to  put  their  creative 
efforts  together  in  designing  and  using  new 
instructional  aids. 

Aids  are  needed  for  more  effective  teaching  of 
large  classes.  An  example  is  the  overhead  pro- 
jector which  uses  transjjarencies  with  overlays. 
Transparencies  may  be  prepared  from  various 
forms,  carefully  made  drawings,  graphs,  numer- 
ical tables,  quizzes,  student  j^repared  solutions, 
etc.  These  forms  may  include  such  things  as 
income  tax  forms,  bank  checks,  promissory  notes, 
rectangular  and  polar  coordinate  grids  and 
nomographs.  Drawings  may  include  plane  curves, 
scales  for  teaching  the  use  of  a  rider,  slide  rule 
scales,  optical  illusions,  indirect  measurement, 
vernier  scales,  map  projections,  latitude  and 
longitude  drawings,  LOR.AN  maps,  as  well  as 
figures  for  geometry  theorems.  Numerical  tables 
may  include  a  duodecimal  multiplication  table, 
powers  of  2,  values  of  10  raised  to  power  of  .1, 
.2,  .3,  etc.,  values  to  illustrate  variation,  meas- 
urements of  circmnlerence  and  diameter  of  cir- 
cles, and  Pascal's  triangle. 

These  aids  are  valuable  for  the  following 
reasons: 

(a)  Many  items  can  be  made  available  to  the 
teacher  without  the  time  and  effort  required  in 
class  period  to  present  them  on  the  chalkboard. 

(b)  The  overlays  permit  the  teacher  to  de- 
velop the  presentation  one  part  at  a  time. 

(c)  A  small  drawing  or  chart  may  be  enlarged 
to  a  size  large  enough  for  each  member  of  a 
large  class  to  see  clearly. 

Materials  are  also  needed  for  pupil  laboratory 
use.  There  are  many  topics  in  mathematics  which 
lend  themselves  well  to  individual  measuring, 
experimentation,  and  construction.  This  indi- 
vidual work  can  be  done  either  Ijy  a  few  pupils 
or  by  the  entire  class.  Examples  of  materials  may 
include  fractional  disks,  onestens-himdreds  ma- 
terials, circular  objects  for  determination  of  the 
value  of  pi,  cardboard   for  constructing  a  slide 


rule  scale,  adjustable  figures  and  drawing  instru- 
ments for  experiments  in  geometry,  wax  paper 
for  folding,  and  games  for  drill  in  recall  of  com- 
putational facts. 

The  selection  of  instructional  aids  should  be 
on  the  basis  of  the  following  criteria: 

(a)  Relation  to  the  objectives  of  the  instruc- 
tion, 

(b)  Simplicity  and  convenience  of  use, 

(c)  Cost  and  extent  of  use, 

(d)  .\ppeal  to  student, 

(e)  Accuracy,    authenticity    and    durability 
The   first  part  of  any   instructional   program 

must  be  the  clarification  and  agreement  on  the 
objectives.  After  this  has  been  clone  those  aids 
should  be  selected  which  experience  has  shown 
can  be  used  most  effectively  to  reach  the  objec- 
tives. In  other  words,  the  aids  should  be  related 
to  the  objectives.  For  example,  if  the  objective 
of  a  slide  rule  unit  is  that  of  developing  skill 
in  the  use  of  the  slide  rule,  then  instructional 
aids  would  probably  consist  of  student  slide 
rules,  a  demonstration  slide  rule  or  a  scale 
printed  on  a  transparency  for  the  overhead  pro- 
jector, a  calculating  machine  for  checking  ac- 
curacy, and  a  film  or  filmstrip.  If  the  purpose 
also  includes  the  understanding  that  the  slide 
rule  is  a  device  for  adding  and  subtracting  line 
segments  which  represent  the  logarithmic  values 
of  numbers  from  1  to  10,  then  the  pupils  might 
each  be  involved  in  constructing  line  segments 
to  represent  these  logarithmic  values  and  trans- 
ferring these  lengths  to  movable  cardboard  or 
wood  pieces  for  a  slide  rule. 

Each  aid  should  be  simple  enough  to  clarify 
the  mathematical  concept  and  also  simple 
enough  for  the  pupils  to  use.  For  example,  a 
transit  consisting  of  a  wooden  sighting  arm  and 
an  enlarged  360°  protractor  might  be  suitable 
for  a  junior  high  school  class,  whereas  the  trig- 
onometry class  might  desire  the  precision  of 
measurement  afforded  by  a  transit  having  ver- 
nier scales,  telescopic  sights,  and  machined  metal 
parts.  Teachers  will  be  likely  to  pass  up  those 
aids  that  require  time-consuming  preparation, 
are  not  available  when  needed,  involve  learning 
complicated  operational  procedures,  or  are  not 
suitable  for  use  in  the  way  that  they  like  to  use 
them.  If  two  instructional  aids  are  found  to  be 
equally  effective  in  the  instructional  program, 
priority  should  be  given  to  the  cheaper  one  and 
the  one  which  will  be  used  more  extensively. 

An  aid  should  have  those  qualities  that  will 
cause  pupils  to  become  interested  in  it.  For 
example,  pupils  may  become  curious  by  the 
novelty  of  using  a  rubber  band  for  enlarging  a. 
drawing;  many,  especially  the  capable  ones,  may 
become  interested  in  determining  just  xohy  the 
homemade  trammel  draws  an  ellipse;  a  book  that 
is  well  written  and  attractively  illustrated  will  be 
read  in  preference  to  one  not  possessing  these 
qualities;  the  alidade  may  appeal  to  many  be- 
cause it  is  so  useful:  well-constructed  pupil-made 
aids  usually  have  a  great  appeal  especially  if  the 
pupils  feel  pride  in  the  project. 

An  instructional  aid  shoidd  be  made  accurately. 
It  should  not  be  used  to  teach  incorrect  informa- 
tion or  to  develo]3  undesirable  learnings.  It 
should  also  be  built  durable  enough  so  that  it 
will  withstand  repeated  use  by  people  not  well 
trained  in  lujw  to  use  it.

Indiana 
Rules 
for  AV 
Facilities 


I.C.A.  students  consult  with  specialists  while  planning  a  filmstrip  on  scho< 
plant  facilities. 


by  John  Moldstad 


INDIANA  educators  have  been 
quick  to  realize  the  value  and 
p)otential  effectiveness  of  audio- 
visual materials  in  teaching.  Fur- 
thermore, they  have  taken  steps  to 
see  that  leadership,  materials,  fi- 
nance, and  facilities  will  be  pro- 
vided within  school  systems  and  in 
individual  school  buildings  for  the 
development  of  strong  audiovisual 
programs. 

In  August,  1955,  the  Commission 
on  General  Education  of  the  In- 
diana State  Board  of  Education 
passed  two  rulings  affecting  the 
audiovisual  program. 

The  first  provided  for  leadership 
in  each  school  building.  It  required 
that  each  building  have  an  audio- 
visual program  in  operation  with 
the  person  appointed  as  coordina- 
tor being  professionally  trained 
and  fitted  and  having  had  at  least 
five  semester  hours  of  courses  in 
audiovisual  education,  or  the 
equivalent. 

The  second  ruling  required  each 
school  to  have  a  library,  defined  as 
an  area  where  instructional  mate- 
rials, organized  for  use,  are  housed 
to  provide  easy  access  for  pupils 
and  teachers.  It  further  stated  that 
the  school  shall  spend  as  minimums 
from  $1.25  to  $2.50  per  pupil  per 
year  for  approved  and  new  library 
books  and  audiovisual  instructional 
materials  with  no  school  spending 
less  than  $100  each  school  year  lor 


these  purposes.  These  expenditures 
are  to  be  divided  between  library 
and  audiovisual  instructional  ma- 
terials in  such  proportions  that  a 
balanced  and  well-rounded  educa- 
tional program  results. 

After  these  mandated  standards 
were  passed,  members  of  the  State 
Department  of  Education  and  other 
state  leaders  began  to  consider  the 
specific  recommendations  concern- 
ing a  third  badly  needed  state  man- 
dated provision  —  the  requirement 
that  adequate  audiovisual  facilities 
be  incorporated  into  each  newly 
constructed  classroom.  This  obvi- 
ously was  an  objective  requiring 
careful  planning.  The  stages  lead- 
ing to  its  realization  are  reviewed 
here  since  it  is  believed  educators 
in  other  states  might  want  to  ini- 
tiate similar  plans  of  action. 

Utilize  Experts  and  Specialists 
to  Obtain  the  Facts 

A  perusal  of  publications  and 
periodicals  quickly  revealed  a  lack 
of  standards,  or  even  agreement, 
concerning  the  scope  and  types  of 
audiovisual  facilities  which  should 
be  included  in  today's  classrooms. 
A  steering  committee,  therefore, 
consisting  of  experts  in  audiovisual 
education  and  schoolhouse  plan- 
ning was  invited  by  the  State  Su- 
perintendent of  Public  Instruction, 
Wilbur  Young,  to  participate  in  a 
series  of  work  sessions. 


This  group  consisted  of  five  Ir' 
diana  city  audiovisual  director' 
three  university  audiovisual  rcprt 
sentatives,  two  Indiana  architects 
three  Indiana  schoolhouse  piar 
ning  experts,  five  out-of-state  sp< 
cialists  in  lighting  and  sound,  an' 
the  Executive  Vice-President  of  th 
National  Audio-Visual  Associatior 
Mrs.  Sullivan,  Administrative  A; 
sistant  in  Audio-Visual  Educatior 
State  Department  of  Public  Ir 
struction,  was  appointed  chairma 
of  this  group. 

During  eight  sessions  this  grou] 
developed     suggested     standard 
which    were    incorporated    into 
publication      entitled      Plannin:, 
Schools  for  Better  Instruction.' 

Provide  Opportunity  for  Open 
Discussion   and   Critical   Appraisa 
of  Proposed  Standards 

In  an  effort  to  give  all  affectec 
groups  an  opportunity  to  discus 
and  react  to  these  building  stand 
ards,  copies  of  this  publicatioi 
were  sent  to  all  state  audiovisua 
directors,  superintendents,  and  art 
chitects. 

Wide  publicity  was  then  givet' 
to  an  Indiana  State  Conference  oi 
School  Planning  for  Aiidio-Visua 
Education    which   was   held    in    In

At  this  conference  each  of  the 
najor  suggestions  was  presented  by 
I  member  of  the  steering  commit- 
ee.  Panel  members  representing 
'arious  institutions  affected  by 
hese  suggested  standards  reacted 
o  them  and  finally  members  of 
he  audience  were  invited  to  par- 
icipate  in  the  discussion.  The 
)anel  members  and  members  of

isual  standards. 

As  a  next  step,  Mr.  William 
A^ollenweber,  Buildings  and 
i^ounds  Superintendent,  Elkhart, 
ndiana,  and  the  author  were  asked 
o  review  these  recommendations 
ind  prepare  a  brochure  pointing

irds  concerning  audiovisual  facili- 
ies  for  all  new  Indiana  classrooms,

nents  of  recognized  leaders  in

Mr.  Alfred  Speck,  Director,  Di- 
vision of  School  House  Planning, 
iDepartment  of  Public  Instruction, 
hen  requested  and  was  granted  a 
tearing  before  the  Commission  on 
General  Education  so  that  these 
jroposed  changes  in  classroom 
tandards  for  audiovisual  facilities 
ould  be  presented. 

Realizing  that  personal  contact 
s  usually  the  most  effective  and 
atisfactory  method  of  communica- 
ion,  members  of  the  state  depart- 
nent  of  education,  the  universities, 
ind  the  state  audiovisual  associa- 
ion  have  continually  attempted 
personally  to  keep  school  adminis- 
rators  in  their  areas  aware  of  new 
levelopments  in  audiovisual  edu- 
ation.  They  have  also  tried  to 
ilert  them  to  advancements  and 
hortcomings  of  Indiana's  own  lo- 
ial  audiovisual  programs.

monthly  agenda  of  meetings  of 
state  commissions  is  listed,  the 
main  points  in  this  presentation 
were  visualized  on  2"  x  2"  colored 
slides  and  the  information  was  also 
passed  out  in  mimeographed  form. 

In  addition  to  the  initial  presen- 
tation before  the  Commission,  sec- 
ond and  third  hearings  were  con- 
ducted to  answer  further  questions 
and  invite  public  reaction  to  the 
proposed  changes. 

On  February  14,  1958,  the  Com- 
mission unanimously  passed  the 
following  mandated  regulations 
concerning  minimum  audiovisual 
facilities  for  each  room  to  be  uti- 
lized lor  regular  classroom  instruc- 
tion: 

A.  Light  Control 

1.  Facilities  provided  so  that  the 
light  level  in  each  classroom  can 
be  reduced  easily  to  1/10  ft.  candle. 

B.  Electrical  Installations 

1.  In  addition  to  the  regular 
switches,  an  additional  room  light 
switch  installed  on  the  wall  of  the 
classroom  opposite  the  side  of  the 
room  on  which  the  projection 
screen  is  mounted. 

2.  One  electrical  outlet  provided 
at  the  rear  of  the  room  for  projec- 
tion equipment;  a  second  outlet 
provided  at  the  front  of  the  room 
for  record  players,  tape  recorders, 
and  overhead  projectors. 

3.  Electrical  outlets  deliver  110 
volt  alternating  current.  The  out- 
let serving  projection  equipment 
must  be  fused  for  no  less  than  20 
amperes. 

4.  Sufficient  circuits  provided  to 
allow  simultaneous  use  of  equip- 
ment in  any  number  of  adjacent 
classrooms. 

5.  Wall  outlets  not  be  more  than 
36  inches  above  the  floor;  if  in- 
stalled in  the  floor,  outlets  must 
be  recessed  and  protected. 

6.  New  schools  must  use  I14 
inch  conduit  for  their  central  sound 
system.  This  will  permit  the  in- 
stallations at  a  later  date  of  a  co- 
axial cable  needed  for  develop- 
ments in  the  television  field. 

C.  Acoustics 

1.  The  use  of  acoustical  tile, 
acoustical  plaster,  and  other  sound 
absorbing  materials,  must  be  used 
to  control  reverberation  time.  An 
exjierienced  acoustical  engineer 
should  be  consulted  to  determine 
the  proper  acoustical  treatment. 

Conduct  a  Campaign  to  Facilitate 
Understanding  and  Use 
of  New  Regulations 

In  order  to  inform  Indiana  school 
administrators  of  the  new  regula- 
tions and  to  assist  them  in  achiev- 
ing them,  several  approaches  were 


utilized.  First,  these  regulations 
were  reviewed  in  the  March  1958 
issue  of  Indiana  Educational  Activi- 
ties, a  State  Department  of  Public 
Instruction  publication  which  goes 
to  over  four  thousand  educators 
throughout  the  state. 

Second,  Mr.  Speck  and  Mrs.  Sulli- 
van served  as  advisors  to  a  group 
of  International  Cooperation  Ad- 
ministration foreign  students.  Un- 
der the  direction  of  Mr.  Dennis 
Pett,  Production  Supervisor  at  the 
Indiana  University  Audio-Visual 
Center,  these  students  chose  as  a 
practice  campaign  project  the  plan- 
ning and  production  of  visual  ma- 
terials designed  to  inform  educa- 
tors about  these  new  rulings  and 
to  suggest  ways  they  might  best 
achieve  them. 

Public  school  administrators 
were  singled  out  as  the  primary 
audience  for  this  campaign.  Archi- 
tects, teachers,  and  the  general  pub- 
lic constituted  the  secondary  audi- 
ence. 

Two  sets  of  colored  2"  x  2"  slides 
were  produced  by  the  students.  One 
set  informed  administrators  of  the 
importance  and  value  of  audio- 
visual materials  in  instruction.  The 
second  set  visualized  the  Commis- 
sion's rulings  and  presented  al- 
ternative types  of  light  control 
facilities,  etc.,  which  satisfy  these 
regulations. 

These  visual  materials  were  pre- 
sented by  Mr.  Speck  and  Mrs.  Sul- 
livan as  part  of  their  talks  at  six 
regional  meetings  sponsored  by  the 
State  Department  of  Education 
each  year,  and  at  the  spring  meet- 
ing of  the  state  audiovisual  asso- 
ciation. 

Multi-color  brochures  incorpo- 
rating the  ideas  in  the  two  slide 
sets  have  recently  been  completed 
by  these  same  students  and  will 
soon  be  mailed  to  administrators 
and  architects  throughout  Indiana.' 

These  activities  have  been  fasci- 
nating, but  I  think  the  implications 
are  even  more  so!  They  show  that 
educators  can  achieve  important 
educational  goals  if  they  have  a  de- 
fensible objective  and  plan  to  carry 
through  a  carefully  designed  pro- 
gram for  its  realization. 

■'Copies  of  each  brochure  can  be  ob- 
tained Ity  xvriting  Dr.  lolin  Moldstad,

The  author  wishes  to  express  his  appre- 
ciation to  Mrs.  Allha  Sullivan,  Adminis- 
trative Assistant  in  Audio-Visual  Educa- 
tion and  Mr.  Alfred  Speck,  Director,

Television  and  Education— Keyisittd 


Ten  years  ago  this  month,  before  educational  television 
as  it  exists  today  teas  more  than  a  dream  in  the  minds  of 
far-sighted  educators.  Educational  Screen  published  a  sym- 
posium: ^'Television  and  Education.''^  To  this  collective 
glimpse  into  the  future  the  members  of  the  magazine's 
advisory  board  contributed  their  ideas. 


SETTING  the  theme  in  his  edi- 
torial, Paul  Reed  described  the 
kinescope  tube  as  "a  new  educa- 
tional screen  with  tremendous  im- 
plications." James  W.  Brown  began 
the  symposium  with  considerable 
insight:  "Conceivably,  television 
could  change  patterns  of  home  life 
through  direct  competition  with 
those  out-of-home  activities  now 
tending  to  separate  family  mem- 
bers. It  could  stimulate  deeper  ap- 
preciations of  art,  literature,  music 
and  dramatics.  It  ought  to  be  a 
means  of  improving  homemaking 
and  other  skills.  It  may  likewise  be 
possible  that  with  intelligent  use 
of  the  medium  and  with  wide 
availability  of  television,  some  of 
the  formal  school's  present  func- 
tions may  be  performed  better  in 
the  future  on  an  informal,  televised 
basis." 

Edgar  Dale  predicted  that  tele- 
vision would  be  "a  great  boon  for 
improved  education.  Many  parents 
and  taxpayers  will  now  see  what 
good  teaching  looks  like."  He 
warned  about  "our  usual  failure  in 
the  educational  field  to  make  use  of 
these  new  instruments  of  educa- 
tion." And  Walter  S.  Bell  claimed: 
"If  these  two  mass  media  of  com- 
munication —  motion  pictures  and 
radio  —  can  result  in  great  changes 
independently,  certainly  the  two 
fused  together  into  television  can 
become  the  most  powerful  medium 
of  mass  communication  ever 
dreamed  of." 

A  more  technical  prediction  came 
from  Edward  S.  Bernard.  "When 
the  equivalent  of  the  magnetic 
tajje  recorder  is  developed  to  per- 
mit taking  television  material  off 
the  air,  perhaps  the  greatest  single 
step  forward  in  visual  education 
will    have    been    accomplished. 

134 


School-made  transcriptions  of  ap- 
propriate telecasts  may  ultimately 
furnish  the  answer  not  only  to  cost 
reduction,  but,  as  in  radio,  to  the 
problem  of  adapting  materials  to 
the  need  of  individual  groups  work- 
ing at  different  paces  and  on  vary- 
ing programs." 

Possible  and  presently  realized 
drawbacks  were  clearly  stated  in 
more  than  one  essay.  James  W. 
Brown  said:  "Timing  of  programs 
will  present  the  same  obstacle  to 
school  use  which  is  now  common 
with  regular  radio  programs.  The 
lack  of  specially  assigned  frequen- 
cies for  educational  use  alone  sug- 
gests strongly  that  'public  service' 
time  on  commercial  stations  may  be 
all  that  is  left  to  the  schools.  Such 
time  will  become  increasingly  more 
diflicidt  to  schedule." 

Irving  C.  Boerlin  predicted  that 
television  "will  be  used  only  when 
more  versatile  and  adaptable  teach- 
ing aids  are  not  available."  F.  Dean 
McClusky  suggested  that  "televi- 
sion will  have  to  make  long  strides 
forward  in  technical  improve- 
ments before  it  becomes  a  potent 
factor  in  education.  .  .  .  Motion 
picture  films,  slides,  transcriptions, 
the  radio  and  other  audiovisual 
materials  will  not  be  replaced  by 
television.  .  .  .  Television  makes  it 
possible  for  teachers  to  have  in 
their  classrooms  material,  which, 
up  to  the  present  time,  is  unavail- 
able in  any  form." 

Francis  Noel  asked:  "We  are  told 
that  many  television  programs  will 
be  on  film.  If  this  is  so,  aside  from 
a  small  percentage  of  the  telecasts 
bringing  immediate  results  to  us, 
what  will  be  its  advantage  over  the 
more  flexible  motion  picture  me- 
dium? Perhaps  as  television  causes 


more  and  more  pictiu'es  to  be  pn 
duced,  this  may  be  its  gieate 
contribution  to  the  improvemer 
of  instruction." 

Amo  DeBernardis  wrote: 
think  we  are  not  going  to  plan  edi 
cational  programs  around  telev 
sion  but  rather  adapt  television  t 

the  curriculum Ml  of  us  shoul 

look  to  television  as  another  teacl 
ing  aid  and  apply  tlie  same  criteri 
to  it  that  we  would  to  any  otht 
teaching  tool  to  bring  it  into  propt 
perspective  to  the  learning  proces 
There  is  no  doubt  that  educatoi 
all  over  the  country  will  swarm  i 
television  as  a  teaching  aid.  Hov 
ever,  as  soon  as  the  novelty  weai 
off,  it  will  find  its  proper  place  i 
the  educational  program." 

Summing  up  the  futine  of  tele 
vision,  Elizabeth  Golterman  exce 
lently  states:  "When  we  read  tha

Bulletin  Board  Blues

RAGE 

GENTERVIl.EE-April  17  (AP) 
—  Residents  ol  the  tiuiet  town  of 
Genterville  were  shocked  today 
When  Miss  Sadie  Nobleman, 
ie;icher  for  over  30  years  at  P.S. 
No.  2,  suddenly  ran  amok  in  her 
(lassrooni  tearing  Ixilletin  boards 
from   the  wall. 

Fellow  teachers  and  Miss  No- 
bleman's students  expressed  sur- 
|jrise  at  her  conduct  but  pointed 
out  that  Miss  Nobleman  had  not 
been  herself  since  additional 
l)ulletin  boards  were  installed  in 
Iter  rcjom.  They  expressed  the  be- 
lief that  Miss  Nobleman  "suf- 
lered  from  fits  of  despondency" 
when  faced  with  the  problem  of 
how  to  fill  the  bulletin  board 
area. 

Miss  Nobleman  was  not  avail- 
able for  comment. 

Of  course,  tiiis  newspaper  article 
is  not  true  but  the  feelings  of  the 
teacher  destriljecl  will  be  under- 
stood by  any  teacher  who  looks 
upon  constructing  bulletin  boards 
as  a  burden.  One  can  see  the  un- 
pleasantness that  "covering  a  bulle- 
tin board  area"  entails  for  many 
teachers  when  it  is  noted  that  in 
most  scliools,  hall  bulletin  boards 
are  iissigned  from  a  roster  like 
other  unpleasant  duties.  Taking 
turns  at  tliis  task  is  designed  to 
minimize  its  unpleasantness  but 
this   in   reality   is   not    a    solution. 

One  teacher,  a  confirmed  bulle- 
tin board  hater  who  finally  be- 
came the  school's  bulletin  board 
expert,  analyzed  her  attitude: 

"One  reason  I  hated  to  make 
bulletin  boards  was  that  my  pur- 
pose and  target  audience  were 
wrong.  I  made  the  bulletin  boards 
in  my  room  to  please  myself,  other 
teachers,  the  administrators,  and 
even  passers-by.  I  judged  them  by 
adult  standards  and  was  never  satis- 
fied with  the  results  of  my  efforts. 

"Now  I  recognize  the  bulletin 
board  as  an  educative  and  creative 
medium.  I  look  upon  it  as  an  ef- 
fective   teacher    partner,    my   most 


easily  accessible  audiovisual  tool 
with  the  exception  of  the  chalk- 
board. My  ajiproach  now  is  to  en- 
courage and  guide  pupils  in  plan- 
ning and  inaking  bidlctin  boards. 
Involving  students  in  making  dis- 
plays for  a  specific  instructional 
purpose  adds  to  pupils'  understand- 
ing and  enjoyment  and  I  find  it  a 
rewarding  exjierience.  The  teacher 
who  hates  bulletin  boards  is  often 
the  one  who  says  'It's  easier  to  do 
it  myself.'  It  may  be  true  that  it  is 
easier  to  do  it  yourself  but  this 
leads  to  tasteless  displays  and  reuse 
of  the  same  materials  and  ideas 
year  after  year.  It  also  robs  the 
teacher  of  the  opportunity  to  use 
the  bulletin  board  as  a  method  of 
improving  j)upils'  skills  and  abili- 
ties. 

"Of  course,  I  occasionally  make 
a  board  on  my  own  to  stimulate 
interest  in  a  new  unit  of  work. 
When  I  do  this  I  have  a  specific 
purpose  in  mind  and  find  it  a  real 
challenge  to  make  a  board  that  will 
be  interesting.  I  find  myself  look- 
ing forward  to  the  effect  it  will 
have  on  my  youngsters.  For  the 
most  part,  however,  yoimgsters  do 
the  displays  so  that  an  occasional 
board  made  by  me  is  a  treat  for  the 
youngsters  and  for  me  since  the 
responsibility  for  planning  and  con- 
structing most  boards  now  lies  with 
them." 

This  teacher  refers  to  a  guided 
integrated  presentation  which  has 
been  planned  to  do  a  specific  in- 
structional job. 

Here  are  some  questions  that  we 


■B-WtVin  "BobtA 


?5-^ 


can  ask  ourselves  to  make  certain 
that  student  -  planned  and  con- 
structed bulletin  boards  make  their 
full  contribution  as  an  instruc- 
tional medium. 

1.  Did  the  bulletin  board  grow 
out  of  pupils'  needs  and  is  it  the 
result  of  pupil  planning  and  par- 
ticipation. 

2.  Is  it  cooperative  rather  than 
competitive   in   its   content? 

.8.  Was  the  bulletin  board  co- 
operatively planned  and  construct- 
ed? 

4.  Did  the  experience  give  the 
students  involved  an  opportunity 
to: 

a.  Practice  self-direction  and  im- 
prove social  and  democratic  skills? 

b.  Engage  in  a  satisfying  artistic 
and   creative   experience? 

c.  Develop  skill  in  searching  for 
and  using  information? 

5.  Did  the  bulletin  board  pro- 
vide a  good  learning  experience 
for  students  in  the  classroom  not 
involved  in  its  construction  and 
planning? 

6.  Was  an  attempt  inade  to 
evaluate  the  bulletin  board  by  the 
group  who  produced  it? 

Bulletin  boards  which  are  made 
using  these  questions  as  a  guide  are 
never  boring  to  youngsters,  for 
who  knows  better  what  phase  of  a 
subject  is  important  or  interesting 
to  a  class  than  the  class  members 
themselves?  Moreover,  such  dis- 
plays are  always  more  interesting 
to  the  teacher  for  she  is  challenged 
to  make  helpful  suggestions  to  the 
group,  to  help  them  evaluate  their 
efforts,  and  to  aid  them  in  securing 
needed  materials  for  display. 

Perhaps  the  ultimate  m  teacher- 
pupil  planning  is  when  a  group  can 
fimction  almost  independently,  set- 
ting its  own  goals,  determining  its 
own  procedures,  and  using  the 
teacher  as  a  resource  person  to  help 
thein  secure  the  materials  and  in- 
formation the  group  feels  it  needs 
to  .solve  its  problem.

Israel-Giant  Laboratory 

(Continued  from  page  125) 

I  went  on  an  unforgettable  trip 
with  the  mobile  unit  to  see  two 
programs  in  villages  of  recent  set- 
tlers from  Yemen  and  Morocco. 
The  first  was  held  indoors  and  the 
second  outdoors  imder  the  stars. 
The  director  explained  that  it 
takes  quite  a  long  time  before 
some  of  the  older  people  and  many 
of  the  women  come  to  see  the  films. 
The  experience  is  completely  new 
to  them  and  they  are  fearful  or 
shy  about  it.  They  are  more  likely 
to  attend  an  outdoor  showing  for 
they  can  sit  or  stand  on  the  fringe 
of  the  crowd  and  not  feel  so  con- 
spicuous, or  so  committed  to  par- 
ticipation in  this  strange  new  event. 

The  programs  which  I  saw  con- 
sisted of  a  newsreel  summary  of 
the  ten  years  of  Israel's  statehood, 
a  filmstrip  on  "Minorities  in  Israel" 
which  dealt  with  the  Christians, 
Moslems,  and  Druse,  and  a  song 
program.  The  audiences  were  in- 
tensely interested. 

Similar  programs  were  given  in 
the  Arab  and  Druse  villages.  I  had 
an  interesting  visit  with  the  Druse 
teacher  who  directs  adult  educa- 
tion in  the  Arab  and  Druse  vil- 
lages in  the  Haifa  area.  (He  had 
been  in  the  United  States  last  year 
where  he  appeared  on  television 
and  lecturecl  in  various  universi- 
ties.) He  and  the  other  people  in 
this  program  were  enthusiastic 
about  teaching  through  films  and 
hoped  that  with  more  equipment 
this  program   could  be   expanded. 

In  addition  to  the  materials  pro- 
duced in  Israel,  American  films, 
filmstrips  and  recordings,  distrib- 
uted by  the  United  States  govern- 
ment or  sent  by  producers  and 
individuals  from  the  United  States 
to  Israel,  are  in  wide  use  through- 
out the  country  in  every  type  of 
school  on  every  educational  level. 
As  more  equipment  and  more  ma- 
terials become  available,  Israel  will 
want  to  — and  will  know  how  to — 
make  very  effective  use  of  them  to 
help  solve  its  educational  problems.

It  is  good  occasionally  to  review  ma- 
terial that  departs  from  the  "beaten 
track."  Much  of  what  came  in  this 
month  was  a  bit  different  either  in 
general  subject  matter  or  in  produc- 
tion techniques.  There  are  so  many 
things  we  need  to  learn  about,  and  so 
many  things  to  call  to  the  attention  of 
the  boys  and  girls  in  our  schools  that 
it  always  seems  sad  to  us  when  every- 
one keeps  on  talking  about  the  same 
old  things  in  the  same  old  way.  This 
is  in  no  way  intended  to  minimize  the 
importance  of  stressing  basics,  and  does 
not  imply  that  we  do  not  need  to  give 
proper  consideration  to  fundamentals. 
But  even  the  most  basic  of  fundamen- 
tals might  be  remembered  longer  if  it 
were  made  just  a  bit  attractive  or  in- 
teresting (heresy,  perhaps,  but  just 
the  same  we  mean  it!).  While  we  are 
on  this  matter  of  "basics,"  we  should 
also  like  to  mention  the  importance  of 
lieauty  and  humor.  Children  in  partic- 
ular respond  so  wonderfully  to  true 
Iieauty  and  sincere  humor.  It  seems  a 
shame  not  to  bring  a  little  more  of 
both  qualities  into  the  production  of 
materials  intended  for  use  in  classroom 
work.  One  of  these  days  we  intend  to 
expound  at  greater  length  on  this  mat- 
ter. Think  it  over  when  selecting  ma- 
terials for  your  own  class,  and  see  what 
happens  when  you  use  something  beau- 
tiful to  illustrate  a  point  that  has  al- 
ways been  considered  dull.  This  is  par- 
ticularly true  with  filmstrips,  and  we 
still  need  filmstrips  in  hitherto  unex- 
plored areas  of  the  curriculum. 


Demand,  Supply 
and  Balance 

(9  strips,  color;  produced  by  The 
Conservation  Foundation,  30  East  40th 
St.,  New  York  City  16:  $49  for  com- 
plete set;  $18  for  any  set  of  3  strips). 

This  is  one  of  the  most  intriguing 
sets  we  have  previewed  in  a  long  time 
and  one  with  a  host  of  possibilities  to 
suggest  for  utilization.  Basically  the 
set  is  said  by  its  producers  to  be  cre- 
ated for  the  express  purpose  of  ex- 
posing people  to  concepts  concerning 
their  environment.  Certainly  this  is 
needed,  and  is  a  worthy  intent!  To 
do  it,  the  various  pictorializations  in 
the  strips  give  us  material  on  which 
to  build  awareness  and  appreciation 
of  the  items  which  vitally  affect  our 
living.    As   we    become    aware    of    the 


nature  of  these  things  we  are  led  to 
consider  very  important  facts  —  that 
there  is  no  substitute  for  water,  space 
and  pure  air;  that  we  must  plan  for 
strategic  use  of  natural  resources;  that 
modern  scientists  are  pushing  back 
frontiers  in  the  study  of  life  on  this 
earth  of  ours.  The  series  is  actually 
divided  into  lliree  units  — Unit  1, 
"What  We  Need,"  "Where  We  Find 
it,"  and  "How  to  Get  It"  for  primary 
grades;  Unit  2,  "The  Demand,  The 
Supply,  Balancing  the  Supply  and  De- 
mand" is  for  junior  and  senior  high 
grades;  Unit  3,  "Can  the  Biologist 
Meet  the  Demand,"  "Can  the  Chemist 
Renew  the  Supply,"  "Can  the  Physi- 
cist-Engineer Strike  a  Balance?"  is  for 
senior  high  grades.  At  no  time  is  the 
viewer  given  a  series  of  "pat"  state- 
ments. The  technique  has  been  fol- 
lowed of  posing  questions  that  force 
the  viewer  to  look  at  a  particular  pic- 
ture, find  answers  and  form  his  own 
concepts,  or  draw  conclusions  himself. 
There  should  be  some  lively  classroom 
discussions  with  these  filmstrips;  cer- 
tainly there  will  not  be  mere  passive 
viewing,  and  they  offer  much  in  the 
way  of  lesson-stimulant  power.  We 
refuse  to  recommend  absolute  grade 
levels  for  material  of  this  type  because 
there  are  so  many  possibilities  for 
using  it  with  different  age  groups.  It 
is  primarily  most  valuable  for  science 
and  social  science  units;  it  should  also 
be  recommended  for  nature  study, 
camp  and  scout  groups,  and  for  any 
unit  on  conservation. 

Moody  Science  Filmstrips 

(2  strips,  color,  produced  by  the 
Moody  Institute  of  Science,  Los  An- 
geles 25,  California;  $6  per  strip).  Like 
the  world,  the  curriculum  is  full  of  a 
number  of  things,  areas  that  could  be 
made  very  interesting  if  approached 
from  a  different  viewpoint.  In  How 
We  See  and  Hear  the  producers  indi- 
cate that  man  has  been  provided  with 
eyes  and  ears  to  see  and  hear.  If  these 
senses  are  properly  used  there  are 
many  intersting  and  wonderful  sights 
and  sounds  to  learn  about.  This  film- 
strip  could  be  made  the  basis  for  a 
motivation  lesson  of  interest  in  the 
world  around  us  at  different  grade 
levels  from  elementary  through  high 
school.  In  Wonders  of  Snow  we  have 
a  series  of  close-ups  of  design  patterns 
found  in  snow  crystals.  These  are  in-

teresting  and  offer  much  in  tfie  way 
of  suggestions  for  creative  art  work 
projects.  Tfie  photography  is  good  in 
both  filmstrips  and  the  color  quality 
excellent.  The  same  producer  has  re- 
cently announced  production  of  flat 
picture  sets,  and  one  of  the  first  of 
these  sets  deals  with  "Wonders  of 
Snow."  The  combination  of  large  pic- 
tures for  display  and  study  and  the 
filmstrip  provides  an  excellent  combi- 
nation of  resource  material. 

Parliamentary  Procedure 
in  Action 

(revised)  (3  strips,  color:  produced 
by  Educational  Filmstrips,  Box  289, 
Huntsville,  Texas;  1 16.50  per  set). 
Many  people  today  find  themselves 
faced  with  the  problem  of  chairing 
a  meeting  and  not  knowing  the  first 
thing  about  parliamentary  procedure. 
These  filmstrips,  based  on  the  book, 
"The  How  in  Parliamentary  Practice," 
with  special  reference  to  Robert's 
Rules  of  Order,  will  certainly  help 
them  to  handle  almost  any  situation 
from  calling  the  meeting  to  order,  pre- 
senting reports,  introduction  of  mo- 
tions, handling  of  new  business  to 
closing  the  meeting.  This  is  not  an 
attempt  to  visualize  a  panicidar  meet- 
ing nor  to  provide  a-  story  se<|uence. 
The  strips  will  be  at  their  best  if  used 


in  connection  with  consideration  and 
discussion  of  the  techniques  involved 
in  conducting  a  meeting.  Personally 
we  would  recommend  projecting  them 
several  times—  to  give  an  overall  pres- 
entation of  the  general  situation  and 
then  in  sections  to  illustrate  each 
point  as  discu.ssed.  They  will  be  help- 
ful in  both  English  and  social  studies 
classes,  and  very  good  for  newly  elected 
groups  of  officers  of  clubs  and  student 
organizations.  They  are  also  to  be 
recommended  for  adult  groups  and 
clubs. 

Plantation  Life 
in  Colonial  Virginia 
and  Planter-Statesman 
of  Colonial  Virginia 

(2  strips,  color;  produced  by  Co- 
lonial Williamsburg,  Williamsburg, 
Va.;  |5  each).  We  can  never  fully  ap- 
preciate the  present  unless  we  also 
understand  the  events  and  people  of 
the  past.  The  two  filmstrips  consid- 
ered here  help  to  recreate  a  picture  of 
life  and  events  in  the  formative  years 
of  our  history.  The  first  of  course 
gives  an  overall  view  of  life  on  a  large 
plantation  of  the  Mt.  Vernon  type.  It 
unfolds  a  story  of  daily  activities  as 
well  as  scenes  of  family  life.  The  sec- 
ond strip  concentrates  on  the  role  of 
the   plantation   owner  as   a   statesman 


and  his  part  in  drafting. laws  and  for- 
mulating governmental  patterns  which 
eventually  helped  to  shape  our  own 
government  today.  The  strips  help  to 
create  something  of  the  atmosphere  of 
colonial  days  and  are  to  be  recom- 
mended for  social  studies  units. 

The  Race  for  Space 

(single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  Office  of  Educational  Activi- 
ties, The  N.  Y.  Times,  229  West  43 
•St.,  New  York  City  19;  $2.50  single 
strip,  $15  for  series  of  which  this  is  a 
monthly  unit).  Filmstrips  are  a  "nat- 
ural device"  to  use  in  conjunction 
with  newspapers,  periodical  and  jour- 
nals. This  being  so,  you  have  only  to 
look  at  the  amount  of  space  allocated 
in  newspapers  today  to  "space  re- 
search" to  realize  the  timeliness  of  this 
particular  strip.  It  presents  a  sum- 
marization of  the  activities  currently 
in  progress  in  both  the  United  States 
and  the  Soviet  Union;  it  also  calls  at- 
tention to  the  various  attempts  to 
penetrate  into  space  by  rockets  and 
satellites,  and  indicates  some  of  the 
barriers  to  be  overcome  as  jet  planes 
venture  into  higher  altitudes.  The  con- 
tent of  the  strip  has  high  potential  for 
pupil  interest  today  and  it  can  well 
be  used  in  both  social  studies  and  in 
science  classes  at  both  junior  and  sen- 
ior high  school  level.

Scene  from  the  Brandon  Film  "Prehistoric  Images:  The  First  Art  of  Man" 


Prehistoric  Images: 
The  First  Art  of  Man 

(Brandon  Films,  Inc.,  200  West  57th 
Street,  New  York  19,  N.  Y.)  16  min- 
utes,   16inm,  sound,  color,   1955.   $250. 

Description 

"The  artist  records  for  those  who 
come  after  the  image  of  the  world  he 
knows."  Thus,  begins  a  journey  back- 
ward in  time,  revisiting  the  subterra- 
nean world  of  the  cave-painters  of 
prehistoric  Europe.  Tlirough  the  co- 
operation of  the  French  and  Spanish 
governments,  the  film  recreates  for  the 
beholder  the  rarely  seen  images  traced 
on  the  walls  of  the  caverns  of  Lascaux, 
Pech  Merle,  Niaux,  and  Trois  Frferes 
in  France  and  Altamira,  El  Castillo 
in  Spain  more  than  fifty  centuries  ago, 
when  these  early  artists  sought  shelter 
there  from. the  bitter  cold  left  behind 
by  the  retreating  ice-sheet. 

The  film  begins  with  a  montage  of 
images  recorded  by  the  familiar  artists 
of  our  time,  then  dissolves  from  cen- 
tury to  century  back  to  the  earliest  art 
of  history,  in  ancient  Egypt.  Beyond 
this  point,  the  viewer  travels  in  com- 
plete darkness,  with  only  the  sound 
of  dripping  water  thousands  of  feet 
below  the  earth's  surface,  to  the  sub- 
terranean gallery.  A  finger  of  light  ap- 
pears to  trace  the  bounds  of  this  world. 
For  full  minutes  the  camera  records  the 
awe  of  the  spelunker,  moving  through 
great  caverns  and  tortuous  passage- 
ways, until  at  last  the  searching  circle 


of  light  pauses  on  the  signature  of  our 
host,  the  silhouette  of  a  human  hand. 

We  now  begin  to  see,  in  succession, 
the  strange  beasts  which  popidate  this 
ancient  hunter's  world,  traced  with 
skill  and  simplicity  onto  the  walls  and 
cave  formations.  Some,  like  the  horse, 
still  live  in  the  area  today.  Some,  like 
the  ibex  and  rhinoceros,  are  known 
only  in  other  climates.  Still  others  seem 
almost  too  fantastic  to  have  existed  — 
yet  all  are  here,  coinhabiting  the  dark- 
ness of  the  ancient  grotto. 

The  camera  records  the  anomalies 
of  this  ancient  art  —  the  odd  conven- 
tions of  distance  and  perspective,  the 
shaping  of  chance  stone-formations 
into  horse  or  bison,  and  finally  the 
curious  images  of  odd  design  which 
surround  the  animal  figures.  To  this 
last  mystery,  the  narrator  suggests  the 
formula  familiar  in  contemporary  so- 
cieties where  voodoo  rites  are  still 
held  —  trace  the  image  of  the  quarry 
on  the  wall,  then  kill  the  image;  thus 
will  the  success  of  the  hunt  be  assured. 
We  are  now  made  aware  of  the  image 
of  the  sorcerer  —  and  of  the  countless 
arrow-like  markings  showering  upon 
the  animal  figures.  The  odd  angular 
shapes  are  traps  to  ensnare  the  run- 
ning prey.  This  failing,  there  is  a  cliff 
over  which  they  may  be  driven  —  and 
a  feast  awaiting  on  the  rocks  below. 
Some  riddles  are  left  un.solved  —  Is 
there  an  ancient  myth  behind  the  fig- 
ure of  a  pony  jumping  over  a  red 
sun?   Is  the  image  of  a  man   beneath 


the  hooves  of  a  running  bison  the 
record  of  the  price  paid  by  the  hunter? 
The  .secret  lies  with  the  bones  of  the 
man  who  traced  his  hand  on  the  wall 
there  in   the  ancient  grotto. 

Appraisal 

The  experience  which  this  film  pre- 
sents is  a  blend  of  the  art  of  the 
movie-maker  and  of  the  painter.  The 
story  is  told  with  little  need  of  help 
from  tlie  sound  track,  which  is  low- 
key  and  somewhat  hypnotic  (the  sound 
(|uality  of  the  print  reviewed  was  un- 
fortunately poor).  Variations  in  cam- 
era movement  and  pacing,  lighting, 
and  optical  effects  combine  to  keep  the 
film  a  fascinating  treat  to  the  eye 
tliroughout  —  despite  its  motionless 
subject-matter  —  from  the  grandeur  of 
the  cavern  to  the  violence  of  the 
imagined  chase.  It  should  be  interest- 
ing fare  to  students  of  art  and  man, 
whatever  their  ages.

Description 

With  James  Meagher,  instructional 
materials  coordinator  at  Penfield 
School,  New  York,  as  narrator  and 
guide,  the  film  shows  through  the  case- 
study  technique  how  the  audiovisual 
program  in  the  Penfield  Schools  helps 
boys  and  girls  learn.  It  documents 
with  sound  photography  educational 
practices  in  the  utilization,  distribu- 
tion, and  local  preparation  of  audio- 
visual materials. 

The  film  opens  with  a  scene  showing 
a  school  bus  discharging  two  Penfield 
School  pas.sengers  —  David  and  his  sis- 
ter—at their  home.  In  the  kitchen 
they  are  greeted  by  their  mother  who 
gives  them  an  after-school  snack,  dis- 
cusses their  day  at  school,  and  men- 
tions their  beforc-supper  responsibili- 
ties. 

Later  at  the  supper  table,  the  whole 
family    discusses   school    activities.    Be-

Appraisal 

On  the  basis  of  several  actual  uses

film  are  to  be  commended  for  this 
contribution  to  education.

"Trees  have  flowers  too,"  continues 
the  narrator  as  the  visuals  show  by 
time-lapse  photography  the  unfolding 
of  apple  blossoms  as  they  emerge  from 
their  buds.  First,  the  bud  scales  are 
the  most  conspicuous,  then  the  leaves 
appear  and  finally,  a  few  days  later, 
the  flowers  burst  forth.  Thus,  it  is  evi- 
dent that  both  flowers  and  leaves  come 
from  some  buds. 

Next,  by  time-lapse  photography,  the 
film  shows  the  unfolding  of  the  bud 
scales  and  the  flowers  of  the  flowering 
dogwood.  The  narrator  explains  that 
the  flowers  are  clustered  in  the  center 
of  the  four  white  scales  which  are  often 
mistakenly  thought  to  be  flower  petals. 

The  film  continues  by  showing  that 
flowers  in  addition  to  being  pretty  are 
also  a  source  of  food  for  some  insects 
but,  jnore  importantly,  they  produce 
the  seeds  which  are  essential  for  the 
reproduction  of  most  plants. 

Next,  time-lapse  photography  shows 
a  bean  pod  emerging  from  the  flower 
and  shows  that  within  the  pod  there 
are  seeds.  It  shows  the  bean  seeds  being 
planted  and  by  time-lapse  pictures  the 
young  bean  plant  pushing  through  the 
soil. 

The  next  sequence  depicts  a  pump- 
kin in  various  stages  of  growth  and 
pictures  a  mature  pumpkin  being  cut 
open  revealing  many  seeds.  Further 
examples  include  showing  that  apples 
come  from  apple  blossoms,  dandelions 
produce  seeds  which  are  easily  scat- 
tered by  the  wind  and  even  the  grasses 
have  tiny  flowers  which  produce  seeds. 

By  time-lapse  photography,  the  film 
shows  the  growth  of  a  hepatica  flower 
and  also  the  withering  of  flowers  that 
are  picked. 

The  conclusion  reveals  that  flowers 
left  on  the  plant  will  not  only  con- 
tinue to  look  pretty  but  many  of  them 
will  make  fruits  and  seeds  which  may 
be  gathered  and  eaten. 
Ap]>rai$al 

This  film  by  the  use  of  time-lapse 
photography  and  other  techniques  does 
an  excellent  job  of  enlivening  and 
clarifying  an  important  but  mostly 
static  subject.  Not  only  does  it  present 
specific  facts  concerning  flowers  but  it 
also  creates  a  feeling  of  respect  for 
them  by  pointing  out  their  importance 
to  the  plant  and  to  man.  In  this  film, 
the  viewer  sees  phenomena  which 
would  be  difficult  to  see  clearly  by  di- 
rect experience  because  such  processes 
would  need  to  be  observed  in  stages 
over  a  long  period  of  time.  Thus,  in  a 
matter  of  seconds,  the  flowers  are  seen 
bursting  forth  from  the  buds,  the  bean 
pod  is  clearly  seen  emerging  from  the 
flower.  Nevertheless,  the  narrator  en- 
courages the  viewer  to  observe  for  him- 
self as  many  of  these  things  as  he  can. 
Even   though  in   most  cases,   the   film 


indicates  the  approximate  time  thi 
process  observed  by  time-lapse  photog 
raphy  in  the  film  would  take  in  nature 
it  is  suggested  that  the  teacher  befon 
showing  the  film  clarify  the  relation 
ship  between  actual  time  and  scrcei 
time.  The  personalized  narration  anc 
the  technical  excellence  contribut( 
much  to  the  film's  effectiveness.  Foi 
example,  the  narrator  suggests  withou 
being  too  obvious  or  authoritarian  tha 
it  is  better  to  leave  the  flowers  in  th( 
field  than  to  pick  them.  This  film  wil 
probably  be  most  useful  on  the  pri 
mary  and  intermediate  grade  levels.

Description 

Trees:  Hmu  We  Identify  Them 
shows  Marge  and  Kenny  as  they  learn 
to  look  for  certain  clues  when  identi- 
fying trees  —  location,  shape,  bark,  and 
leaves.  That  a  tree  can  be  identified 
by  one  or  more  of  its  features  —  shape, 
bark,  leaves,  or  fruit  —  and  that  a  good 
starting  point  for  identification  is  to 
find  out  what  kinds  of  trees  commonly 
grow  in  the  viewer's  part  of  the  coun- 
try are  the  introductory  ideas. 

The  film  then  locates  on  an  outline 
map  various  sections  of  the  country  and 
by  overprinted  labels  shows  the  trees 
that  are  indigenous  to  these  sections. 
In  the  north,  central,  and  eastern  for- 
ests the  common  native  trees  are  fir, 
pine,  spruce,  maple,  and  birch.  In  the 
south,  other  trees  are  common  —  oak, 
cypress,  cedar,  gum,  and  magnolia.  In 
the  west  the  common  native  trees  are 
pine,  spruce,  cedar,  fir,  and  giant  red- 
wood. 

The  film  continues  by  showing  that 
in  the  winter  it  is  easy  to  see  the 
shape  of  most  trees  and  shows  as  ex- 
amples the  American  elm,  the  rounder' 
shaped  beech,  and  the  long,  narrow 
shape  of  tlie  Lombardy  poplar.  Next, 
it  explains  that  the  bark  of  many  trees 
has  unique  characteristics  and  can  be 
used  for  identification.  It  pictures  the 
mottled  bark  of  the  sycamore,  the  fur- 
rowed bark  of  the  oak,  the  smooth, 
white  bark  of  the  birch,  and  the  un- 
usual bark  of  the  shagbark  hickory. 

Continuing,  the  film  tells  of  the 
difference  between  deciduous  and  ever- 
green trees.  It  explains  that  most  ever- 
greens have  needle  shaped  leaves;  how- 
ever, some  that  do  not,  such  as  the 
live  oak,  are  also  "evergreen."  Blue 
spruce  trees  are  shown  to  have  large 
cones  and  square   needles  with  sharp '

points;  the  balsam  fir  —  flat,  blunt  nee- 
dles that  seem  to  grow  upward;  and 
the  pines  —  needles  that  grow  in  bun- 
dles or  clusters. 

It  is  also  possible  to  identify  decidu- 
ous trees  in  the  winter  by  examining 
tlie  buds.  The  film  shows  Marge  and 
Kenny  examining  the  opposite  buds 
of  a  maple  and  dogwood  and  the  alter- 
nate buds  of  an  oak  and  beech.  They 
put  a  few  twigs  in  a  vase  of  water  in 
the  house  and  after  the  leaves  emerge 
from  the  buds,  they  identify  them  as 
being  beech  leaves. 

The  film  then  shows  that  some 
leaves  are  compound,  such  as  those  of 
the  horse  chestnut,  and  some  leaves 
are  simple,  such  as  those  of  an  elm. 
Also,  the  edges  of  the  leaves  difl^er,  for 
example,  the  edge  of  the  magnolia  leaf 
is  smooth,  that  of  the  holly  leaf  has 
sharp  points  and  the  tulip  leaf  is  odd 
shaped. 

The  fruits  of  a  tree  may  also  aid 
in  its  identification.  The  film  pictures 
the  prickly  balls  of  the  sycamore,  the 
acorns  of  an  oak,  and  the  green  nuts 
of  the  walnut. 

As  a  final  idea  Marge  and  Kenny 
are  shown  making  a  permanent  leaf 
record  by  pressing  leaves  on  carbon 
paper  with  a  hot  iron,  then  pressing 
the  leaves  on  a  sheet  of  white  paper. 
The  summary  reviews  the  key  ideas. 

Appraisiil 

The  evaluation  committee  felt  that 
this  film  would  be  the  most  useful  in 
helping  to  introduce  a  unit  on  trees 
and  their  identification.  The  teacher 
could  follow  the  showing  with  direct 
experiences  and  numerous  vicarious 
ones.  Since  the  film  presents  many 
specific  facts  as  well  as  broader  con- 
cepts, the  teacher  should  probably 
plan  to  show  the  film  several  times.  Its 
presentation  of  interesting  yet  simple 
activities,  such  as  the  making  of  a  leaf 
print,  will  help  to  encourage  the  child 
to  learn  more  about  trees.  Teachers 
of  intermediate  and  junior-high  classes 
will  probably  find  this  film  most  use- 
ful; however,  many  of  the  facts  and 
concepts  presented  are  also  taught  in 
senior-high  biology  classes.

Spotty  the  FaTvn 
in  Winter 

(Coronet  Instructional  Films,  Coronet 
Building,  Chicago  1,  Illinois)  11  min- 
utes, 16mm,  sound,  color  or  black  and 
white,  19,58.  $100  or  $55.  Teacher's 
guide  available. 

Description 

Spotty  the  Fawn  in  Winter  tells  the 
story  of  a  young  deer  who  makes 
friends  with  a  little  girl  living  on  the 
edge  of  the  forest  and  receives  food 
from     her     during     the     cold     winter 


months  as  a  reward  for  his  courage. 

The  film  opens  with  scenes  of  a 
mountain  lake  in  autumn,  trees  with 
brightly  colored  leaves,  and  a  moun- 
tain brook  with  leaves  floating  lazily 
upon  it.  "Spotty"  is  nibbling  grass  near 
his  mother.  He  is  growing  up  and 
sometimes  explores  the  forest  alone. 

As  later  autumn  comes,  more  leaves 
fall.  Spotty  is  growing  larger  and  is 
losing  his  spots.  Some  of  his  friends 
are  the  rabbit,  the  beaver,  the  chip- 
munk, and  the  birds.  He  is  somewhat 
unsure  of  the  little  girl  in  the  log 
cabin,  however.  She  feeds  the  birds 
from  the  suspended  feeder  and  also 
feeds  the  chipmunks  and  squirrels. 
These  animals  are  not  afraid  of  the 
little  girl,  but  Spotty  is  still  fearful  of 
going  near  her. 

One  morning  Spotty  awakens  to  find 
snow  all  over  the  ground.  Mother 
doesn't  seem  to  mind  but  snow  is  new 
to  Spotty.  Everything  looks  changed. 
The  branches  of  the  evergreen  trees 
are  heavy  with  snow.  Like  other  ani- 
mals Spotty  goes  out  to  look  for  food, 
but  finds  all  the  grass  and  leaves  cov- 
ered with  snow.  Soon  he  finds  himself 
following  the  path  to  the  little  girl's 
cabin.  He  watches  her  put  out  food 
for  the  birds.  She  sees  Spotty  and 
brings  out  a  wooden  box  in  which  she 
puts  some  bread  and  corn  meal.  Know- 
ing Spotty  might  be  afraid,  she  hides 
behind  the  corner  of  the  cabin  to 
watch  Spotty.  He  cautiously  draws 
near,  takes  a  little  food,  then  bounds 
away. 

Now  the  winter  is  becoming  more 
severe.  There  is  a  cold  wind  blowing 
and  a  heavy  snow  falling.  Spotty  is 
snuggled  by  a  tree,  sheltered  from  the 
snow.  He  is  not  cold  because  of  his 
thick    hide   and    fur.    The   snow   and 


wind  eventually  stop,  and  Spotty  again 
looks  for  something  to  eat.  Even  ever- 
green twigs  are  eaten  by  a  hungry 
deer.  He  finds  his  way  toward  the  little 
girl's  cabin,  and  she  is  there  feeding 
the  birds.  She  holds  out  a  piece  of 
bread  and  calls  to  Spotty.  Spotty  slow- 
ly comes  to  her  and  eats  the  bread  out 
of  her  hand.  Not  only  has  Spotty  some- 
thing to  eat,  but  he  also  has  a  new 
friend. 

Appraisal 

Spotty  the  Fawn  in  Winter,  a  com- 
panion film  to  Spotty:  Story  of  a  Fawn, 
accomplishes  adequately  the  purposes 
of  showing  physical  changes  in  a  young 
deer,  illustrating  seasonal  changes  in 
the  mountain  forest,  pointing  out  the 
winter  food  problem  of  forest  animals, 
and  showing  kindness  to  animals.  The 
film  is  designed  for  children  in  the 
primary  grades.  The  telescopic  shots 
of  this  deer  and  some  smaller  ani- 
mals are  commendable.  The  rate  of 
development  is  satisfactory  for  the 
primary-age  level,  and  the  continuity 
of  the  film  is  excellent.  The  narration 
runs  appropriately  with  each  scene  and 
is  intended  for  the  upper-primary  vo- 
cabulary. 

The  attempt  at  audience  participa- 
tion is  achieved  by  using  the  little  girl 
in  a  simple,  undramatic  role  into 
which  any  child  of  that  age  could 
easily  place  himself.  The  previewing 
committee  feels  that  this  film  left  with 
them  a  wholesome,  pleasant  feeling 
and  they  feel  that  primary-grade  chil- 
dren will  enjoy  seeing  it  as  well  as 
learning  about  the  life  of  a  fawn  dur- 
ing the  winter  months  and  how  a  little 
girl  befriends  wild  animals  and  birds 
during  the  winter.

needed  lor  ihe  new  m  liooi  is  dilii- 
tult  to  dc-terniine  in  advaiicc.  How- 
ever, (he  goal  to  be  achieved  can 
be  stated:  To  nnthc  nil  hinds  of 
equipment  immediately  available 
to  each  teacher." 

As  the  target  dale  lor  ojjening 
the  school  in  .Se]Jteniber  ]9')9  came 
closer,  decisions  had  to  be  made 
about  how  much  audiovisual  eqinp- 
mcnt.  Jt  was  decided  to  provide 
"niininumi  essentials"  but  this  was 
difficult  to  estimate  because  it  is 
not  known  precisely  what  impact 
this  kind  of  audiovisual  classroom 
facility  will  have  upon  teaching 
methods  and  procedures.  Two  fun- 
damental assumptions,  based  upon 
research  evidence,  had  been  made. 
It  was  believed  that  "teachers  want 
to  use  audiovisual  materials  in 
their  teaching."  It  was  also  believed 
that  "there  is  a  close  relationship 
between  the  building  facilities  pro- 
vided lor  using  audiovisual  ma- 
terials and  the  extent  the  teachers 
can  and  will  use  them." 

The  initial  provision  of  "mini- 
mum essential"  audiovisual  equip- 
ment will  be  more  than  three  times 
that  which  has  been  provided  for 
any  other  Rochester  high  school. 
In  round  numbers  this  means,  for 
instance,  fifteen  sounil  motion  pic- 
ture projectors,  twenty  overhead 
projectors,  twenty  taj>e  recorders, 
etc.  But  this  is  only  a  conservative 
estimate  of  the  amount  of  equip- 
ment that  eventually  will  be  needed 
and  used  in  East  High  School. 
Plans  are  being  made  to  provide 
additional  audiovisual  resources  as 
needed  to  achieve  the  goal  of 
providing  every  teacher  with  the 
tools  he  needs. 

There  is  more  to  be  told  about 
the  audiovisual  facilities  of  Roch- 
ester's East  High  School  and  it  is 
planned  that  this  will  be  done  in 
two  additional  articles.  The  next 
one  will  tell  more  about  the  small 
auditorium  or  "Forum  Room"  with 
its  integrated  radio  and  television 
workshop  studies.  It  is  at  this  point 
in  the  school'  where  the  control 
center  is  located  for  all  of  the  radio 
and  television  facilities  that  serve 
ihe  whole  school.

"Speed"  and  "Speed-up"  are  keynot- 
ing  the  chaiigitig  educational  scene  to- 
day. "Learn  more"  and  "Learn  it 
sooner"  are  dynamic  factors  in  course 
of  study  revision,  curriculum  develop- 
ment and  instructional  materials  prep- 
aration nationally  as  well  as  locally. 

The  accomplishments  of  today's  high 
school  graduate  are  far  greater  than 
those  of  his  parents.  Ttie  academic 
school  of  today  teaches,  and  properly 
so,  courses  which  were  reserved  for  the 
college  student  a  generation  ago.  Not 
by  selection  from  above,  but  by  ex- 
pressed individual  option  in  the  demo- 
cratic tradition,  we  are  preparing 
scholars  for  study,  scientists  for  re- 
■search  and  we  are  developii;g  through 
our  schools  not  only  opportunities  for 
advanced  study  but  also  terminal  vo- 
cational facilities  unknown  to  any 
previous  generation  of  students. 

Educational  progress  is  continually 
more  closely  relating  schools  and 
school  work  to  the  needs  of  the  indi- 
vidual as  well  as  to  the  local  and  na- 
tional communities.  There  are  many 
reasons  for  this  but  basically  it  is  not 
"Sputnik"  but  rather  the  sincere  de- 
sire of  each  of  us  to  give  the  next  gen- 
eration greater  opportunities  than  we 
knew. 

"Speed-up"  is  affecting  all  instruc- 
tional levels.  "Speed-up"  is  changing 
the  shape  of  the  classroom  and  the  na- 
ture of  instruction.  "Speed-up"  does 
not  change  the  nature  of  learning  but 
rather  finds  new  ways  to  encourage 
more  rapid  advancement  for  all  —  and 
particularly  for  the  exceptional  child. 

"Speed-up"  is  attacking  the  elemen- 
tary school  and  perhaps  most  wide- 
spread is  the  clamor  for  foreign  lan- 
guage instruction  in  the  primary  and 
intermediate  grades.  "Is  this  good?"  is 
a  question  which  cannot  be  answered. 
We  are  told  tliat  l)i-lingualism  is  tra- 
ditional in  many  European  countries 
in  the  school  program.  Our  solid  Eng- 
lish-speaking nation  and  neighbor  to 
the  north  have  insulated  us  from  this 
iy]>e  of  thinking,  .^nd,  a  generation 
ago,  when  information  transmission 
with  the  speed  of  light  was  still  a  nov- 
elty, such  insulation  was  adequate  to 
protect  the  school  child. 


But  today  we  must  think  in  terms 
of  at  least  mastery  of  English  and  solid 
acquaintanceship  with  one  or  moic 
other  languages.  .\nd  this  instruction 
will  begin  in  the  elementary  school 
someday. 

Even  when  can  be  determined. 
Faint  rumblings  of  this  development 
are  seerf  today  in  national,  state  and 
local  reports  of  increased  foreign  lan- 
guage interest.  Parent-Teacher  .Associa- 
tion local  groups  undertake  studies 
and  from  their  findings  new  avenues 
of  study  are  offered.  The  State  lidu- 
cation  Departments,  too,  show  this 
growing  trend  and  the  U.  S.  Office  ol 
Education  sees  fit  to  publish  special  re- 
ports on  the  employment  of  language 
laboratfjry  facilities  in  instruction. 

.Are  elementary  school  personnel 
"dragging  their  heels?"  Emphatically, 
no!  They  are  working  to  deternune 
what  teacher  training  is  retpiired  for 
successful  elementary  school  instruction 
in  another  language.  Rather  than  sav- 
ing "we  can't"  or  "we  won't"  they  are 
experimenting.  And  the  simple  and 
frequently  informal  investigations  to- 
day indicate  one  major  need  —  «(Yc- 
qtialc  nialeriuls. 

This  is  a  challenge  of  tremendous 
proportion  to  the  audiovisual  field. 
Particularly,  this  is  a  challenge  to  au- 
dio oriented  instructional  materials 
jjcrsonnel  everywhere. 

The  child  we  would  teach  has  not 
yet  mastered  English.  Grammar  is 
comparatively  unknown  to  the  child 
except  that  some  can  "hear"  the  errors 
in  their  own  verbal  conniumicalion. 
Obviously  the  traditional  introduction 
to  language  study  through  the  gram- 
mar is  out  of  the  question.  The  child 
can  only  study  the  language  as  a  com- 
munications medimn  —  as  he  studies 
his  own. 

The  child  has  learned  his  own  lan- 
guage through  sound  —  and  can  learn 
another.  He  has  learned  speech 
through  imitation,  unashamed  mimic- 
ing,  and  so  can  learn  another.  There 
is  good  reason  for  the  ability  of  the 
alien  child  to  adapt  himself  more  suc- 
cessfully to  a  new  linguistic  environ- 
ment than  can  his  parents.  The  suc- 
cess which  the  child  can  know  can  be 
turned  to  good  account  in  instruction.

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide —  March,    1959 


I  hf  hick  (v  adcqualc  Ifdching  tnate- 
liat.s.  It  is  pointless  to  begin  foreign 
language  instriu tion  in  the  third  or 
fourth  grade  if  that  instruction  is  to 
he  interrupted  at  the  sixth  grade,  and 
hegun  again  in  the  ninth  as  though 
there  hail  been  no  previous  instruc- 
tion. It  is  equally  pointless  to  wait 
to  I)egin  foreign  language  instruction 
until  speeth  habits  are  set  and  set  firm- 
Iv  if  ade(iuatc  materials  are  available 
in  the  lower  grades. 

Audiovisual  materials  producers  are 
(hallenged  with  the  superable  task  of 
planning,  protlucing  and  distributing 
these  instructional  materials.  These 
will  comprise  the  gamut  of  audiovisual 
materials  but,  because  the  emphasis 
must  be  placed  on  the  communication 
of  ideas  via  speech,  the  greatest  chal- 
lenge faces  recordings  producers. 

One  change  will  lie  in  the  philoso- 
phy of  production.  Audiovisual  mate- 
rials suppliers  have  been  in  the  habit 
of  thinking  almost  exclusively  in  terms 
of  "enriching"  and  "supplementing" 
instruction  and  hardly  ever  in  terms 
of  supplying  basic  instructional  mate- 
rials. But  in  this  area  we  cannot  "en- 
rich" and  "sujjplement"  that  which 
does  not  exist  and  which  (annot  exist 
for  reasons  of  connniuiications  diffi- 
culty. No.  the  fundamental  medium 
of  language  instruction  is  audio  and 
the  fundamental  materials  form  is  the 
record,  because  the  record  is  most  flex- 
il)le  from  the  instructional  application 
standpoint.  Tlie  recording,  however, 
no  more  stands  alone  than  does  the 
picture  or  other  \isual  stimidus.  ,\ful- 
tiple  stimidation  through  audiovisual 
media  can  l)e  the  basis  for  foreign  lan- 
guage instruction  at  all  school  levels 
providing  we  are  prepared  to  fill  the 
existing  void  —  the  void  of  suitable 
material  designed  for  continuous  study 
lor  a  six  or  eight  year  foreign  language 
instruction  program  to  begin  in  the 
tknientary  school  and  to  continue  in- 
to and  perhaps  through  the  high 
school  without  interruption. 

Such  does  not  exist  today  .  .  .  but 
will  be  in  the  hands  of  teachers  soon, 
we  hope. 

PINOCCHIO  is  a  favorite  with  chil- 
<hen.  Carlo  (lollodi's  creation  has  in- 
trigued children  and  adults  alike  since 
it  was  published  almost  eighty  years 
ago.  There  are  two  simple  adaptations 
available  on  records  and  one  complete 
l)iesentation. 

Disneyland  offers  an  adaptation  of 
I'inocchio  (Disneyland  ,ST  3095)  taken 
from  the  sound  track  of  the  motion 
picture.  In  this  adaptation  Jimminy 
Clrickel  plays  the  part  of  the  puppet's 
con.science  and  narrates  the  developing 
plot.    This  light  but  interesting  treat- 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide— March,    1959 


ment  of  the  (lassie  story  is  replete  with 
music  and  other  Disney-ish  additions. 
The  recording  generally  follows  the 
main  plot  line  through  to  the  reunion 
of  the  puppet  witli  Ciepctto.  This  is 
an  entertaining  presentation  and  may 
l)e  used  in  a  variety  of  informal  situa- 
tions in  schools  and  libraries,  but  it  is 
primarily  intended  for  entertainment 
at  home. 

Similarly  light  in  treatment,  and 
similarly  |)riniarily  intended  for  home 
listening,  is  the  Columbia  recording  of 
I'inocchio  (Columbia  CL  1055).  This, 
too,  is  a  musical  adaptation  taken  from 
a  telecast.  Mickey  Rooney  plays  the 
title  role  and  the  featured  players  in- 
clude Fran  Allison,  Jerry  Colonna, 
Stubby  Kaye.  Martyn  Green  and  Gor- 


don Clark. 

The  (omplete  story  of  Pinocchio 
cannot  be  presented  in  the  original 
form,  except  as  a  continuing  story.  It 
is  too  long  for  one  "listening  period" 
for  children  just  as  it  is  too  long  for 
them  to  read  at  one  sitting.  But  Libra- 
phone  offers  a  complete  reading  by  Ian 
Martin.  Libraries  can  use  this  record- 
ing for  story  hoin-  presentations  as  can 
teachers. 

The  complete  reading  is  the  most 
satisfactory  presentation  for  instruc- 
tional purposes.  Whereas  the  Disney- 
land and  Columbia  presentations  are 
pre.sented  on  two  faces  of  a  single  33.3 
rpm  disc  the  Libraphone  presentation 
occupic-s  six  faces  on  three  16.7  rpm 
discs. 


We'//  give  you  nine  reasons 

for  buying  Audiotape: 


Excellent  response  at  high  and  low  frequencies. 

Exceptionally  low  background  noise,  through 
better  dispersion  of  finer  oxide  particles. 

Increased  output  and  reduced  distortion  because 
the  oxides  are  magnetically  oriented. 

Unequaled  uniformity  of  output-guaranteed 
not  to  exceed  ±  Va,  db  within  a  reel. 

Continuous  monitoring  in  production  for  output, 
uniformity  and  freedom  from  distortion. 


No  oxide  rub-off  because  an  improved  drier-type 
formula  prevents  it,  even  on  dirty  heads. 

The  C-slot  reel— fastest-threading  reel  ever  developed. 

8.  Smooth,  quiet  tape  travel— even  under  hot,  humid 
conditions-because  of  a  special  moisture-repellent  binder. 

9.  Exceptionally  low  surface  friction— reduces  wear  on  heads.

Charles  Lanipkin  offers  an  excep- 
tionally artistic  performance  reading 
poems  on  SINGERS  IN  THE  DUSK 
(National  Council  of  Teachers  of  Eng- 
lish, XIV  25689/90).  This  superior 
recording  offers  much  to  secondary 
school  English  instruction  and  can  be 
made  to  serve  a  variety  of  sound  pur- 
poses. Hearing  it  can  motivate  cre- 
ative writing  and  can  develop  audio 
understanding  and  appreciation.  The 
poets  represented  are  James  Weldon 
Johnson,  Paul  Laurence  Dunbar, 
Frank  Marshall  Davis,  Herbert  Clark 
Johnson,  Countee  Cullen,  Arna  Bon- 
temps,  Langston  Highes  and  Donald 
Jeffrey  Hayes. 

The  poems  read  include  "The  Cre- 
ation," "Dawn,"  "Life,"  "Theology," 
"Ere  Sleep  Comes  Down  to  Soothe  the 
Weary  Eyes,"  "Tenement  Room— Chi- 
cago," "A  Boy's  Need,"  "The  Wise," 
"Nocturne  at  Bethesda,"  "The  Glory 
of  the  Day  Was  in  Her  Face,"  "The 
Negro  Speaks  of  Rivers,"  "Mother  to 
Son,"  "Ballad  of  the  Man  Who's 
Gone"  and  "Benediction."  School  and 
public  libraries  can  find  profit  in  using 
this  recording  with  other  anthologies 
of  similar  poetry  in  special  programs. 
Further,  these  may  represent  a  chal- 
lenge to  good  sound  system  utilization 
in  a  variety  of  listening  situations. 
Such  material  as  this  does  not  require 
the  formal  classroom  scene,  but  can 
serve  a  variety  of  educationally  valid 
ends. 

Charles  Lampkin  brings  a  variety  of 
experience  and  learning  to  this  record- 
ing. Born  in  Montgomery,  Alabama, 
Mr.  Lampkin  studied  at  the  John  Car- 
roll University,  the  Cleveland  Institute 
of  Music  and  the  Juilliard  Graduate 
School.  In  addition  to  extensive  ex- 
perience as  a  public  school  teacher,

How  delightful  are  the  memories  of 
childhood  conjured  up  through  reliv- 
ing earlier  experiences.  ALICE  IN 
WONDERLAND  and  THROUGH 
THE  LOOKING  GLASS  are  treasured 
memories  to  most  adults,  exciting  ex- 
periences to  most  children.  Here  is 
the  free  play  of  imagination  designedi 
to  charm  —and  succeeding  so  well  that 
each  generation  pleasures  in  introduc- 
ing Alice  to  the  next. 

These  two  titles  have  been  superbly 
recorded  by  Caedmon  (Alice  in  Won- 
derland: TC  1097  and  Through  the 
Looking  Glass:  TC  1098)  in  a  manner 
which  will  delight  young  and  old  alike. 

These  recordings  feature  excellent 
performances  by  Joan  Greenwood,  as' 
Alice;  and  Stanley  Holloway  as  the 
narrator.  Miss  Greenwood  brings  to 
the  recordings  an  exceptional  theatri-j 
cal  career  involving  performances  ini 
Shakespearean  roles  at  the  Old  Vic 
and  as  a  comedienne  playing  opposite 
Alec  Guiness  in  a  variety  of  film  roles. 
Mr.  Holloway  offers  a  similarly  varied 
acting  career  and  brings  exceptional 
talents  to  the  recordings.  Miss  Green- 
wood and  Mr.  Holloway  are  supported 
by  such  talented  performers  as  Peterj 
Bryant,  Patricia  Somerset,  Billie  Hill, 
Timothy  Batesoii,  John  Hollis,  Rosa- 
mund Greenwood  and  others. 

Children  and  adults  alike  will  en- 
joy these  listening  experiences.  The 
recordings  can  be  used  in  elementary 
classrooms  to  motivate  reading,  and  to 
present  the  stories  in  this  audio  form. 
Similarly,  libraries  can  add  these  re- 
cordings without  fear  to  shelf  and  loan 
collections.

Locating  Projection 
Screens 

Would  you  be  unorthodox  enough 
o  put  one  in  a  window,  or  in  the  cor- 
ner of  a  room?  We  put  one  in  a  win- 
low  and  we  like  it  fine.  Here's  how  it 
lappened: 

The  photo  shows  it  mounted  and 
lown.  When  up  it  is  hardly  noticed, 
iet  well  back  into  the  casement  win- 
low,  it  acts  as  a  black-out  for  that  win- 
low  and  admits  a  pleasant  and  useful 
lalo  of  light  at  the  top  and  sides. 


In  this  room  there  was  no  other  lo- 
;ation  for  it.  It  had  to  be  on  this 
ide.  We  had  no  options.  We  could 
hoose  between  a  tripod  or  wall  screen. 
We  needed  all  the  feet,  and  even 
nches,  of  throw  we  could  get.  Put- 
ing  a  tripod  screen  in  front  of  the 
worship  center  would  cut  the  throw  by 
J  or  4  feet.  Use  was  to  be  frequent, 
nd  to  move  the  table  away  each  time 
was  just  too  much  bother,  commotion, 
md  work.  By  hanging  the  screen  in 
he  window  we  could  get  additional 
hrow.  It  would  be  there  to  be  easily 
md  quickly  pulled  down  when 
leeded;  or  pulled  down  ahead  of  time. 
^  bit  unorthodox,  we  agree,  but  an 
rffective  and  acceptable  installation. 

In  the  same  unorthodox  spirit  the 
creen  placement  problem  was  solved 
or  a  square  preview  room  at  the  Au- 
lio-Visual  Center  of  Syracuse  Univer- 
ity.    They    placed    it    in    one   corner, 


mounting  it  on  neat  brackets  on  the 
converging  walls.  It  was  out  of  the 
way,  acceptable  in  appearance,  always 
ready,  maximized  throw,  and  put  all 
the  floor  space,  except  the  extreme 
front,  within  the  angles  of  good  view- 
ing. 

In  like  manner  a  dentist  friend  of 
mine  mounted  a  wall  screen  over  the 
door  between  his  living  room  and  den, 
and  on  the  den  side.  Now  he  just 
pulls  the  screen  down  to  show  his 
beautiful  slides  to  his  friends,  and 
when  not  in  use  the  screen  is  out  of 
the  way,  out  of  sight,  and  handy  for 
the  next  use.  A  little  ingenuity  pays 
off  with  screen  placement.— WSH 

Our  Tiny  Tots  See 
A  Motion  Picture 

Every  now  and  then  I  like  to  test  a 
film  with  an  audience  before  writing 
the  review.  It  helps  to  keep  my  evalu- 
ations from  becoming  too  subjective. 
No  doubt  many  of  my  readers  wish  I 
would  do  more  of  it.  Here  is  an  in- 
stance I  will  tell  you  about. 

I  have  just  come  from  presenting 
the  sound  and  color  film,  Frances  and 
Her  Rabbit,  to  our  church  week-day 
nursery  school  of  97  children  and  staff 
of  six  trained  and  experienced  teachers. 

Neither  room  used  by  the  three  age- 
sections  of  this  school  being  large 
enough  and  suitable  for  this  preview, 
all  the  children  were  brought  into  an- 
other room.  It  was  set  up  so  that  each 
section  would  have  its  own  group  of 
chairs.  While  the  chairs  were  over-size 
for  these  children,  the  room  was  en- 
tirely ready  when  the  children  were 
brought  in. 

The  three-year  olds  sat  in  the  mid- 
dle, directly  in  front  of  a  wide-angle 
screen;  the  four-year  olds  on  the  left 
and  the  five-year  olds  on  the  right.  An 
aisle  separated  the  sections.  Since  the 
film  had  a  running  lime  of  only  11 
minutes  we  hoped  they  could  endure 
the  chairs  that  long.  It  was  the  best  we 
could  do,  so  we  went  ahead. 

Our  purpose  was  to  see  if  this  film, 
made  for  kindergarten  and  primary 
grades,  would  interest  these  children. 
Our  secondary  objective  was  to  enter- 
tain them.    We  did  not  aim  for  teach- 


ing outcomes  at  all. 

I  gave  the  children  a  very  brief  "in- 
troduction" to  the  film.  I  named  the 
pet  and  Frances.  I  told  them  what 
would  happen.  Of  course  they  wanted 
to  talk,  but  we  got  on  with  the  film  — 
carrying  on  a  conversation  with  90- 
some  children  was  not  our  intention! 

What  happened?  By  and  large  the 
middle  group  lost  interest  soon  after 
the  rabbit  finished  drying  his  ears. 
(He  got  them  wet  when  he  went  out 
in  the  rain.)  They  looked  at  the  pro- 
jector, at  the  other  children,  at  each 
other  and  talked  a  little.  A  few  were 
held  by  the  .screen. 

Over  in  the  four-year  old  section  at- 
tention was  better.  They  laughed 
when  the  rabbit  dried  his  ears,  and 
vocalized  their  reactions  from  time  to 
time.  Several  lost  interest  after  a  few 
minutes,  when  Frances  began  drawing 
her  picture.  From  outward  indications 
I  would  say  that  their  attention  was 
never  more  than  60  percent. 

Obviously  the  five-year  olds  were  at- 
tending more  and  enjoying  the  film 
more.  Very  few  lost  interest.  They  sat 
forward  in  their  chairs.  They  laughed; 
they  smiled;  they  showed  their  enjoy- 
ment. After  8  minutes  their  attention 
flagged  a  bit,  as  the  picture  making 
seemed  to  come  to  a  stall.  It  picked  up 
at  the  end  where  Frances  and  Hopper 
went  out  to  play,  the  rain  being  over. 

What  did  we  learn?  First,  that  it  is  a 
great  bother  to  bring  children  into  an 
"audio-visual  room."  We  would  not 
have  undertaken  it  at  all  if  we  had  not 
wanted  to  test  out  the  film  on  the 
three  age-groups  under  the  .same  con- 
ditions of  projection.  (We  use  some 
filmstrips  in  our  program,  always  in 
the  regular  room.) 

Secondly,  we  certainly  learned  that 
this  film  was  not  for  the  younger  chil- 
dren. It  did  interest  the  older  section. 
Thus,  we  are  in  agreement  with  the 
producer  when  he  says  it  is  for  kinder- 
garten. 

Thirdly,  we  are  pretty  sure  that 
there  was  some  mental  fall-out  from 
this  film,  but  we  don't  know  what. 
Perhaps  on  Friday,  when  the  children 
return,  some  evidence  of  this  will  be 
seen  in  their  conversation  and  espe- 
cially when  they  get  to  the  "art"  part 
of  the  morning's  program.    Will   they

recall  Frances  and  Hopper,  her  white 
rabbit? 

Another  way  to  find  out  if  this  film 
made  any  traction  with  the  children 
would  be  to  phone  the  homes  Wednes- 
day afternoon  and  talk  with  the  moth- 
ers. It  would  be  intresting,  too,  to  see 
how  fast  this  film-experience  recedes 
to  the  periphery  of  the  child's  mind. 
What  will  be  the  sticking  power  of  the 
images  and  ideas  of  this  film  in  these 
little  minds?  But,  this  is  "research" 
beyond  our  intent  and  competency. 

While  we  were  not  checking  this 
film  for  its  instructional  values,  we 
believe  that  it  has  a  high  potential  in 
this  direction.  Obviously,  it  can  be 
easily  used  to  give  pleasure  (entertain- 
ment) and  to  expand  experience.  No 
doubt  at  our  ne^t  Staff  Meeting  the 
teachers  will  bring  up  these  consid- 
erations. 

In  conclusion,  from  what  I  have 
seen  of  this  film,  I  am  in  full  agree- 
ment with  the  distributor  (Interna- 
tional Film  Bureau,  57  East  Jackson 
Blvd..  (Chicago  4,  111.)  when  he  says 
that  "Francis  and  Her  Rabbit  will 
leave  children  with  a  lot  to  talk 
about."  It  certainly  will  motivate  chil- 
dren to  talk  about  their  pets,  and  it 
certainly  can  be  used  by  teachers  in 
both  church  and  school  to  accomplish 
many  important  outcomes,  which  they 
will  have  no  trouble  at  all  in  setting 
for  themselves  once  they  have  pre- 
viewed this  charming  and  technically 
excellent  film.— WSH 


Opaque  Projectors 

Mrs.  .S.  ).  Bradley  of  Florence,  Ken- 


tucky, observes  in  a  letter  that  she  has 
"never  seen  opaque  projectors  recom- 
mended for  church  use,"  and  adds  that 
"there  seems  to  be  no  limit  to  the 
availability  of  really  good  pictures." 
In  closing  she  asks,  "Is  there  some 
reason  why  they  are  not  satisfactory?" 

Reducing  a  ten-page  reply  to  sev- 
eral paragTaphs,  Mrs.  Bradley,  we 
might  put  the  whole  matter  this  way. 

There  is  a  great  volume  of  usable 
material.  The  trouble  is  that  too  few 
people  see  the  potential  of  the  mate- 
rial all  around  them.  One  teacher  will, 
and  while  she  teaches  the  projector 
will  get  a  lot  of  use.  Her  successor, 
not  envisioning  the  possibilities  of  her 
own  hand-made  and  hand-prepared 
materials,  will  let  the  project  stand 
idle.  Thus,  a  costly  piece  of  equip- 
ment must  wait  it  out  until  another 
person  comes  along  who  is  enthusiastic 
about  this  type  of  material. 

.Again,  some  people  have  jumped  off 
without  noting  how  deep  the  water 
was!  They  found  that  usable  material 
was  a  little  more  scarce  than  they  im- 
agined. This  hurt.  They  found,  too, 
that  for  best  results  a  pretty  dark  room 
was  needed.  That  was  often  hard  to 
get.  In  like  manner  a  good  screen  was 
needed  for  best  results.  This  slowed 
the  popularity  of  the  opaque  projector. 

Very  little  ready-made  material  came 
along  for  the  opaque  projector.  Ma- 
terials to  supplement  missionary  and 
stewardship  education  came  in  film- 
strip  and  film  form.  Curriculum  en- 
richment material  came  in  these  me- 
dia, also.  Thus,  those  who  produced 
ready-made  materials  for  the  use  of  the 
church  by-passed  the  opaque  projector. 


This  has  had  its  eiktt  on  its  populai 
ily  in  the  churches. 

You  must  think  your  situatioi 
through;  you  must  reach  your  own  de 
( ision.  It  is  best  to  estimate  the  i)oten 
tial  of  any  media  in  relation  to  you 
basic  need,  to  your  teaching  stall  aiK 
its  interests  and  its  attitudes,  to  tli 
other  equipment  in  use  (or  not  in  use 
in  your  church.  This  study  and  dt 
cision  could  well  be  that  of  a  smal 
grou])  of  interested  people.  It  wouh 
he  better  still  for  this  study  to  be  madi 
by  an  officially  appointed  committee 
Then  the  decision  would  have  statu^ 
It  would  hinge  less  upon  the  enthusi 
asm  of  one  person  for  a  given  type  o 
visual  aid,  and  strike  a  better  balanci 
among  all  the  fine  media  available  t( 
the  churches  today. 

You  say  you  "use  a  filmstrip  projec 
tor"  in  your  little  church.  This  is  fine 
Keep  right  on  doing  so.  Your  infer 
ence  that  the  opaque  projector  migh 
take  the  place  of  filmstrips  and  filni' 
is  not  quite  sound.  If  you  follow  tha  i 
line  of  reasoning  you  will  be  in  trou 
ble.  One  visual  aid  does  not  substi 
tute  for  another.  They  supplemcn 
each  other.  Variety  is  needed  in  th( 
church's  program.  Without  filmstrip: 
and  films  your  visual  aids  progran 
won't  have  much  scope  and  variety. 

You  speak  of  the  expense  of  film 
strips.  Look  at  it  this  way:  If  you  bu> 
a  filmstrip  for  $10.00  and  use  it  ;i«i 
ten  times  in  five  years,  and  only  10( 
people  see  it  in  those  five  years  — Wliati 
is  the  cost  per  person  seeing  it?  Is  ten 
cents  too  much  to  afford?  Can  we  evei 
take  cost  figures  seriously  when  wt 
are  sharing  the  Ciospel  and  its  mean 
ing  with  children  and  young  people; 
What  money  value  would  you  put  on 
the  insights,  itieas,  and  convictions' 
which  the  church  and  its  teachers 
shared  with  you  when  you  were  a 
child  and  a  youth? 

In  closing,  let  me  go  back  to  anothei 
basic  consideration:  .Some  teachers  can 
use  opaque  materials  creatively;  others 
just  show  them.  The  catch  comes  im 
putting  them  together  so  they  have  ed- 
ucational impact.  By  and  large  a  lot 
of  time  and  planning,  and  downright 
educational  understanding,  is  going 
into  the  filmstrips  and  films  which  are 
being  made  for  church  use.  This  tends 
to  make  their  use  easier  as  well  as  more 
effective  in  the  hands  of  the  average 
teacher. 

Blessings  on  your  work  and  I  hope 
this  will  be  of  .some  help  to  you.— W.SH

ing  seen  it  twice  in  BitVV  and  three 
times  in  color,  this  reviewer  is  more 
than  convinced  of  its  general  excel- 
lence. Having  invited  in  a  few  friends 
for  a  preview,  he  observed  its  impact 
on  them  —as  he  himself  experienced  it. 

Produced  in  commemoration  of  the 
.S.'jOtli  anniversary  of  Rembrandt's 
birth,  this  film  passes  before  us  sixty 
selected  original  Rembrandt  canvases 
from  twenty-nine  museums  located  in 
twelve  countries.  Who  sets  this  feast 
before  us?  Bert  Haanstra,  who  was 
commissioned  by  the  Netherlands' 
Government  Information  Service  to 
produce  this  informative,  beautiful, 
and  moving  film. 

As  the  camera  brings  these  great 
paintings  before  us  the  commentary 
(effectively  narrated)  adds  its  insights 
and  guides  our  thinking.  Having  left 
many  self-portraits,  the  producer  has 
with  consummate  skill  used  them  to 
bring  the  man  Rembrandt  as  well  as 
the  artist  before  us.  In  a  sentence  or 
two  his  life  and  work  is  summarized  as, 
with  great  optical  finesse,  these  self- 
portraits  fade  one  into  the  other  as 
the  years  of  his  life  went  by.  With 
such  a  beautiful  ending,  you  can  only 
say,  when  you  have  regained  your  ob- 
jectivity:  "What  a  wonderful  experi- 
ence!" And  so  it  was  with  this  re- 
viewer, lo  see  this  film  is  to  have  an 
experience,  and  no  greater  tribute  can 
be  paid  to  a  motion  picture. 

Who  makes  this  fine  film  available 
to  the  American  public?  Coronet  In- 
structional Films,  Inc.,  Coronet  Build- 
ing, Chicago  1,  111.  The  running  time 
is  18 '/a  minutes;  you  will  think  it 
twenty  eight!  The  color  version,  of 
course,  is  more  than  worth  the  extra 
rental  cost.  Very  highly  recommended.

loa   in   Roto 

The  Milwaukee  Journal  (Nov.  16) 
ncluded  an  8-page  Sunday  supplement 
color  rotogravure  entirely  devoted  to 
idvertising  rental  films  available  from 
he  Roa  Kraft  Birch  library.  There  were 
hr«e  pages  of  religious  films  from  ten 
eading  producers;  the  center  spread,  in 
olor,  concentrated  entirely  on  Christ- 
nas  films.  Facing  pages  plugged  top 
ntertainment  product,  one  stressing  cul- 
urally  worthy  titles,  the  other  individual 
ihotos  of  30  star  players  and  the  titles 
if  features  in  which  they  appear.  Free 
Ilms  and  an  order  blank  filled  the  back 
age;  a  front  cover  color  still  of  a  guided 
Issile  was  an  eye  catcher.  Roa's  film 
ntal  business  pays  —  she  makes  it  pay 
y  good  service,  fine  products  and  lots 
f   promotion.

schools  and  colleges  ranked  first  In  target 
audience,  followed  by  industry,  television, 
private  organizations,  and  church  and 
adult  education  groups.  Public  Relations 
ranked  first  In  purpose  served,  with  Sales 
Promotion  and  Education  close  behind, 
virtually  tied  second  and  third.  More

Magnified  view  of  the  more  than  a 
million  lenses  on  each  Radiant  "lenticu- 
lar" screen  surface— lenses  that  concen- 
trate and  reflect  light  with  greatest 
brilliance   over   widest   viewing   area. 


FOR  LIGHTED'! AS  WELL  AS  DARKENED  ROOMS 

The  revolutionary  new  "truly  lenticular"  Radiant  Screens  provide  a 
reflective  surface  that  is  in  effect  a  complete  sheet  of  lenses!  These

tests  have  shown  the  exclusive  Radiant  "true  lenticulation" — is 
extremely  effective  for  projecting  in  darkened  rooms  or  even  lighted 
rooms  where  no  extreme  or  unusual  lighting  conditions  exist.

This  Month's  Features 

The  Hocking  -  Merchant  story  oi 
language  laboratories  is  almost  an  ar 
swer  to  the  request  for  "hard  thinking  ■ 
on  this  subject  in  the  November  195ii 
editorial.  Dr.  Hocking  appeared  in  oui 
pages  once  before  with  this  topic - 
his  story  "The  Power  of  Babel"  wa 
published  in  December  1951. 

We  do  not  present  this  article  a 
"the  last  word"  in  language  labs 
Rather  it  is  one  of  the  "first  words' 
specifically  related  to  high  school  Ian 
guage  labs.  We  hope  to  publish  man; 
more  articles  about  them  as  more  ex 
perience  accumulates,  and  would  ap. 
preciate  hearing  about  the  projects  o 
others  in  this  field  with  a  view  to  pub 
lishing  them.  — £■'

the  use  of  instructional  materials  to  plan  and  carry  out  learning  activities. 
Examples  of  use  have  been  drawn  from  all  subject  fields,  from  kindergarten 
through  college.  It  is  the  first  audiovisual  text  to  use  an  inventive  and 
stimulating  format  in  which  profuse  illustrations  are  correlated  with  the  text. 
Emphasis  throughout  is  on  the  principle  that  learning  is  most  effective  when 
materials  are  integrated  with  instruction.

Communication  and  the 
Learning  Process 


Kxccipis  from  the  preface  of  A-V 
Ittslruclion:  Materials  and  Methods, 
soon  forlheoming  from  McGraw- 
Hill  Co.  The  book  is  coaiuhored 
by  three  noteworthy  leaders  in  the 
audiovisual  field,  all  from  San  Jose 
State  College  in  California:  James 
VV.  Brown,  Professor  of  Education 
and  Head  of  the  Graduate  Division; 
Ricliard  B.  Lewis,  Professor  of  Edu- 
cation and  Head,  Division  of  Au- 
dio-Visual Services;  and  Fred  F. 
Harcleroad,  Dean  of  the  College. 


THIS  book  was  written  to  help 
prospective  and  practicing 
teachers  become  better  acquainted 
with  the  broad  range  and  interre- 
lated uses  of  audiovisual  instruc- 
tional materials  and  techniques. 
Throughout  the  text  the  term 
"audiovisual  instructional  materi- 
als" is  broadly  interpreted  to  com- 
prise the  many  substances  and 
sounds  which  play  important  roles 
in  learning.  The  continued  pre- 
occupation   of    our    schools    with 


things  verbal  has  tended  to  obscure 
adequate  recognition  of  tlie  prin- 
ciple that  learning  is  most  effective 
when  generalizations  and  abstract 
concepts  are  developed  on  the  basis 
of  rich  experiences  with  concrete 
realities.  I'hese  are  the  realities 
of  things  which  are  heard,  seen, 
felt,  smelled,  manijndated,  organ- 
izecl,  assembled,  or  taken  apart 
during  learning;  they  are  the  things 
which  are  ultimately  named,  la- 
beled, talked  about,  evaluated,  criti- 
cized, read  about,  or  thought  about 
during  learning;  and  they  are  the 
things  remembered  or  recalled  for 
pleasure  or  for  use  after  learning. 
A  major  and  consistent  emphasis 
of  the  text  is  the  principle  that  in- 
structional materials  are  used  not 
in  isolation  but  interrelatedly. 
Multipurpose  uses  of  materials  are 
stressed:  charts  are  useful  in  dein- 
onstrations;  tape  recordings  of  dis- 
cussions   afford    opportunities    for

At  Woodrow  Wilson  Jr.  H.  S.,  Wyandotte,  Mich.,  L  D.  Murphy 
(seated),   AV    Director    for    the    Wyandotte  Schools,   tells  how: 


"Our  classrooms  put  conveniences  teachers  need  at  their 
finger  tips . . .  So,  too,  do  our  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors." 


"Before  approving  plans  for  our  building,  we 
asked  our  teachers  what  they  needed  to  teach 
most  effectively.  As  a  result,  we  have  built  dis- 
play cases,  file  cabinets,  and  flat  storage  drawers 
in  every  classroom,  and  project  rooms  adjoining 
most  classrooms.  When  it  comes  to  showing  edu- 
cational films,  our  teachers  want  and  get  the 
same   kind    of  finger-tip  convenience  from  our 


Kodak  Pageant  Projectors." 

Put  control  and  convenience  at  the  finger  tips 
oi  your  teachers  with  the  Kodak  Pageant  16mm 
Sound  Projector.  Folding  reel  arms  and  attached 
drive  belts  make  the  Pageant  easy  to  set  up  and

48  Film  "Starter  Set" 
For  Grade  Schools 

Everything  a  grade  school  needs  for 
the  operation  of  its  own  instructional 
film  library,  including  48  one-reel 
sound  motion  pictures  carefully  selected 
to  meet  the  most  basic  needs  of  Grades 
I  to  6,  can  now  be  put  into  the  school 
for  full  time  use  for  as  little  as  $7.50 
per  year  per  film.  The  films  were 
selected  from  the  more  than  800 
Coronet  titles  to  correlate  directly 
to  the  units  of  study  and  the  leading 
textbooks  in  the  elementary  field. 
There  are  19  films  in  the  "starter  set" 
for  grades  K-3,  and  29  for  grades  4-6. 

The  offer  is  designed  primarily  to 
demonstrate  to  schools  and  school 
systems  which  have  never  enjoyed  the 
advantage  of  film  ownership  the  sim- 
plicity, economy  and  effectiveness  of 
having  the  needed  films  right  where 
the  teachers  can  get  them  when  they 
want  them  for  repeated  and  multi- 
purpose classroom  use.  To  this  end 
the  special  "starter  set"  offer  includes 
a  steel  storage  cabinet  to  house  and 
protect  the  films,  a  pair  of  rewinds 
and  an  excellent  rugged  splicer,  a 
simple  system  for  keeping  records  of 
use  and  a  manual  that  tells  how  and 
why,  100  catalogs  describing  and 
illustrating    the     48     films,     and     480 


Teachers'  Guides  (ten  for  each  title). 
The  administrative  requirements  call 
for  nothing  more  than  a  table  on 
which  to  place  the  cabinet  and  re- 
winds in  a  desirable  location  readily 
accessible  to  all  teachers,  and  a  <ompe- 
tent  person  in  charge  of  maintaining 
and  distributing  the  films  and  their 
utilization  materials. 

The  19  titles  for  the  lower  grades 
include:  "Let's  Measure:  Ounces, 
Pounds  and  Tons  .  .  .  Pints,  Quarts 
and  Gallons";  "Courtesy  for  Begin- 
ners"; "Primary  Safety:  On  the  School 
Playground";  and  "Beginning  Good 
Posture  Habits."  Included  also  are  six 
language  art  films  as  background  for 
reading  and  expression:  "Bushy,  the 
Squirrel";  "Hoppy,  the  Bunny";  "Mit- 
tens, the  Kitten":  "Peppy,  the  Puppy": 
"Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robin's  Family";  "Zoo 
Animals  of  Our  Storybooks."  Finally, 
there  are  eight  titles  in  elementary 
science:  ".Autumn  Is  an  Adventure"; 
"Farmyard  Babies":  "How  Animals 
Live  in  Winter";  How  Machines  and 
Tools  Help  Us";  "Living  and  Non- 
Living  Things";  Spring  Is  an  .Adven- 
ture";  "We  Explore  the  Woodland"; 
"What  Do  We  See  in  the  Sky?" 

The  films  for  the  intermediate 
grades  (4-6)  include  two  on  arithmetic, 
five  on  health  and  safety;  nine  on 
geography;  three  history;  and  one  eacli 


on  guidance  and  language  arts. 

Bought  outright,  the  48-film  starter 
set  and  its  accessories  cost  $2,880. 
This  can  be  paid  over  a  period  of  two, 
three,  or  four  years.  Or,  the  48  films 
and  their  "outfit"  may  be  rented  for 
a  whole  year  for  only  $360,  this  to 
apply  against  purchase  at  the  end  of 
the   period   if  desired. 

"TV  Teachers  College" 

What  is  believed  to  be  a  "first"  in 
commercial  television  broadcasting,  a 
grant  of  more  than  $70,000  in  time 
and  production  costs  to  the  Chicago 
Board  of  Education  by  WGN-TV,  has 
enabled  the  Chicago  Teachers  Col- 
lege to  offer  credit  courses  in  the  im- 
provement of  reading  and  arithmetic 
instruction.  This  program  is  not  only 
serving  the  teachers  of  the  Chicago 
Public  Schools,  but  it  is  an  in-service 
training  program  for  all  teachers  in 
the  Chicago  area.

Could  it  be  that  through  using  electroiiit  tools  there  can  be  more 
intimate  communication  between  teacher  and  learners  than  is 
possible  in  a  simple  face-to-face,  person-to-person  relationship? 
Could  it  be  that  the  tools  of  the  mass  media  are  the  ones  that  can 
bring  about  the  most  intimate  communication  between  a  leader  and 
a  group  —  communication  that  is  very  personal  and  that  affects 
people  as  individuals?  Sounds  completely  paradoxical,  doesn't  it? 
But  wait! 


editorial 


leachers  of  foreign  languages  have  discovered  how  intimate 
conimunication  can  be  when  they  use  minimum  language  laboratory 
equipment  that  provides  for  group  listening  through  earphones. 
Recorded  sounds  heard  by  pupils  through  earphones  come  to  them 
directly  and  reach  them  innermost.  There  are  no  distracting  sounds, 
and  the  experience  is  much  more  personal  than  when  sounds  come 
to  their  ears  from  a  loudspeaker.  Max  Bildersee  refers  to  this 
phenomenon  as  the  "effect  of  air  gap."  That's  an  apt  term;  and 
although  research  has  done  nothing  yet  about  measuring  the  re- 
lationship of  "air  gap"  to  the  effectiveness  of  communcation,  any 
teacher  who  has  had  experience  with  language  laboratory  instruc- 
tion knows  of  its  significance.  The  less  "air  gap"  the  more  intimate 
the  communication. 


Intimate 


Teachers  using  language  laboratory  listening  equipment  have 
also  discovered  some  things  about  sound  motion  pictures.  They 
have  observed  that  when  pupils  watch  motion  pictures  and  hear 
the  sound  track  through  earphones,  the  total  impact  seems  to  be 
strikingly  more  effective.  This  likely  is  the  result  of  something 
more  than  just  the  elimination  of  distraction  to  enforce  greater 
concentration.  The  effect  is  one  of  more  direct  and  meaningful 
communication.    It    is   intimate   communication. 

Possibly  the  current  emphasis  upon  the  use  of  electronic  equip- 
ment in  the  teaching  of  foreign  languages  could  eventually  make 
a  contribution  to  instructional  methods  in  all  subjects  that  is  now 
little  more  than  a  wild  dream.  If  sounds  coming  through  earphones 
do  cause  more  intimate  communication  and  more  effective  learning, 
why  should  they  be  confined  to  the  sounds  of  foreign  languages? 
These  tools  can  be  adapted  to  many  subject  matter  areas  and  all 
grade  levels,  and  the  meager  experimentation  that  has  been  carried 
on  up  until  now  should  be  immediately  expanded  and  intensified. 

These  comments,  to  this  point,  have  been  concerned  only  with 
recordings:  recorded  sound  on  tape  and  disc,  and  sound  and  pictures 
recorded  on  film.  With  all  recorded  materials  there  is  an  obvious 
remoteness  in  time.  The  sound  and  the  pictures  were  necessarily 
recorded  sometime  in  the  past.  They  are  not  immediate  sound.  This 
fact  may  not  affect  the  intimacy  of  the  communication,  but  it  likely 
affects  the  reality  of  the  experience.  Teachers  speaking  into  micro- 
phones to  pupils  with  earphones  would  be  an  example  of  immediate 
intimate  communication. 

Another  example,  and  one  that  represents  the  ultimate  in  im- 
mediate intimate  conununication,  would  be  watching  a  live  educa- 
tional television  program  and  hearing  the  sound  through  earjjhones. 
A  unique  characteristic  of  the  television  medium  is  its  ability  to 
provide  for  immediate  eye-to-eye  communication  between  speaker 
and  listener.  Only  through  the  medium  of  television  can  a  com- 
municator look  directly  into  the  eyes  of  two  or  more  listeners  at 
the  same  time  he  is  speaking.  In  fact,  through  the  use  of  television, 
a  communicator  can  speak  with  eye-to-eye  contact  to  an  unlimited 
number  of  people;  and  if  they  are  listening  through  earphones,  the 
intimacy  of  the  communication  would  be  at  its  peak. 

.\  few  years  ago,  an  incoming  Governor  of  an  eastern  state 
quashed  the  development  of  educational  television  in  that  state 
with  a  glib  and  ignorant  pronouncement.  In  effect,  he  said  that 
he  wanted  no  television  screen  to  come  between  the  teachers  and 
the  children  of  his  great  statel  How  wrong  could  a  man  be  and 
still  be  governor?

architectural  solutions  for  audiovisual  problems 


Distributing  Sight 
and  Sound 


hy  Paul  C.  Reed 


.OU  can  see  from  the  labels  on  the  accom- 
panying drawings  what  a  problem  it  is  to  name 
an  audiovisual  facility  so  new  in  concept  as  this 
one  is.  Neither  architects  nor  educators  have 
found  a  simple  name  for  it.  It's  a  Forum  Room, 
a  small  auditorium,  an  engineering  and  distribu- 
tion center  for  radio  and  television  programs,  a 
facility  for  central  sound  and  closed  circuit  tele- 
vision programs.  It  is  all  of  these  things,  and 
radio  and  television  studios  and  workshop,  too. 
Imaginative  teachers  already  foresee  that  this 
center  for  sight  and  sound  can  become  an  excit- 
ing influence  in  the  instructional  program  of 
Rochester's  new  East  High  School  when  it  opens 
in  September  1959. 

while  the  Audiovisual  Committee  was  at 
work  in  the  spring  of  1954  planning  for  the  new 
school,  it  learned  that  another  committee  was 
recommending  a  small  auditorium.  The  Audio- 
visual Committee  "hitch-hiked"  on  this  idea  and 
expanded  it  to  include  the  following  recom- 
mendations in  its  final  report:* 

"The  Audiovisual  Committee  recommends  that 
this  small  auditorium  be  equipped  for  sound 
amplification  and  reproduction  and  picture  pro- 
jection the  same  as  the  main  auditorium. 

"It  is  also  recommended  that  there  be  a  soimd

control  booth  provided  for  this  small  auditorium 
so  that  it  may  be  used  as  a  radio  studio  and 
possibly  eventually  for  the  origination  of  simple 
television  programs.  This  sound  control  booth 
would  be  equipped  with  amplifiers,  microphone 
controls  and  recording  facilities.  If  the  school 
is  to  be  equipped  with  a  central  sound  system 
it  should  probably  be  centered  in  this  location. 

"In  its  fimction  ol  radio-television  studio,  this 
small  auditorium  is  visualized  as  a  miniature 
of  the  large  studo  at  WHAM-TV  Radio  City. 
(Now  WROC-TV).  It  might  be  possible  to  plan 
the  building  so  that  the  sound  control  booth  also 
serves  an  adjacent  room  which  could  be  used  as 
a  smaller  studio  for  instruitional  and  recording 
purposes.  The  control  room  should  be  planned 
so  that  both  the  small  auditorium  and  the  adja- 
cent room  can  be  used  simultaneously." 

The  architects,  Farragher  and  Macomber,  took 
the  ideas  from  there,  and  working  closely  with 
members  of  the  committee  while  the  plans  were 
being  worked  out  on  the  drawing  boards,  devel- 
oped the  unique  and  brilliant  soliuion  that  is 
pictured  here. 

The  Forum  Room  or  small  auditorium  can 
be  used  by  itself  for  all  kinds  of  meetings  and 
groups  completely  independent  from  the  radio 
and  television  workshop  studios.  Three  or  four 
English  or  social  studies  classes,  for  instance,  may 
come  here  to  share  a  speaker  from  outside,  or  to 
listen  to  a  panel  discussion,  or  to  see  projected

pictures.  The  room  will  be  used  for  faculty  meet- 
ings, for  parent  associations,  and  other  commu- 
nity groups.  It  is  not,  however,  a  "little  theater." 
In  place  of  a  stage  is  a  dais,  up  just  two  steps 
from  the  floor.  A  drapery  across  the  back  shuts 
off  the  studios  and  provides  an  appropriate  and 
simple  background  for  speakers,  a  panel,  or  for 
a  projection  screen. 

There  is  no  projection  booth  at  the  rear  of  the 
room.  Here  there  is  a  platform,  up  four  steps 
from  the  floor,  and  across  the  front  of  this  plat- 
form is  a  built-in  table-high  ledge,  wide  enougli 
to  accommodate  any  projection  equipment.  Of 
course  there  is  an  integral  loud  speaker  system 
and  microphone  outlets  so  that  any  sound  can 
be  reinforced  for  hearing  within  the  room,  or 
picked  up  in  the  control  room  and  distributed 
to  any  or  all  of  the  more  than  eighty  classrooms 
in  the  building. 

The  "control  room"  is  virtually  tlie  electronic 
heart  of  the  whole  school.  Here  are  the  amplifiers, 
the  control  panels,  the  monitors,  that  will  make 
it  possible  to  distribute  sight  and  sound  to  all  the 
classrooms.  It  may  very  well  develop  that  the  one 
control  room  will  be  too  small  for  the  many 
functions  it  will  perform.  If  this  occurs,  "small 
studio  A"  likely  will  be  transformed  into  "con- 
trol room  B." 


The  decision  to  include  complete  closed  circuit 
television  facilities  for  the  school  was  made  only 
last  year.  But  this  possibility  has  been  foreseen, 
and  the  plans  were  flexible  enough  to  accept  this 
change.  Here  is  what  had  been  recommended 
about  television  in  the  committee's  original  1954 
report: 

"Already  experimental  plans  are  moving  for- 
ward for  a  central  closed  circuit  television  system 
in  various  educational  institutions.  Such  a  system 
distributes  visual  information  within  a  school 
in  the  same  manner  that  a  central  soimd  system 
distributes  soiuid  .  .  . 

"Because  of  the  theoretical  practicality  of  this 
kind  of  picture  distribution  and  because  this 
might  be  a  desirable  method  for  use  in  the  new 
high  school  at  some  future  time,  it  is  recom- 
mended that  as  a  minimum  requirement  suitable 
conduits  be  included  in  the  new  building  to  pro- 
vide for  a  flexible  closed  circuit  system." 

That  "future  time"  came  sooner  than  had  been 
expected  in  1954.  In  the  Spring  of  1958,  Super- 
intendent Howard  C.  Seymour  appointed  a 
CCTV  Committee  to  reconsider  this  original 
recommendation.  The  committee  studied  closed 
circuit  television  activities  in  other  institutions 
and  recommended  unanimously  that  closed  circuit 
television   be   provided   at    the   time   the   school

opens.**  They  recommended:  that  the  wires  be 
pulled  through  the  conduits  that  fortunately  had 
already  been  installed;  that  television  receivers 
be  supplied  for  at  least  half  the  classrooms;  that 
television  camera  and  auxiliary  equipment  be 
provided;  and  that  provisions  be  made  for  pic- 
ture and  sound  pick-ups  from  some  twelve  to 
fourteen  specified  remote  locations  within  the 
building.  With  these  recommendations  built  into 
the  building,  sight  and  sound  can  be  distributed 
electronically  around  and  to  all  the  corners  — 
and  there  are  many  of  them! 

Now  let's  take  another  look  at  Studio  B  on  the 
floor  plan  drawing  and  also  in  the  profile  draw- 
ing that  shows  it  alive  and  in  use.  Studio  B  is 
likely  to  become  one  of  the  busiest  rooms  in  the 
whole  school.  This  can  be  a  classroom  for  one  or 
more  sections  of  a  new  and  very  special  English 
course  in  radio  and  television  production.  It 
surely  will  be  the  headquarters  for  one  or  more 
very  popular  extra-curricular  club  groups.  It  will 
be  a  principal  origination  point  for  instructional 
radio  and  television  programs  for  classroom  use 
within  the  school,  and  possibly  throughoiu  the 
school  svstem.

I'his  report  is  also  anailable  upon   request  to  Dr.  Sey- 


Probably  the  brightest  idea  in  this  sight  and 
sound  suite  is  the  soundproof,  plate  glass  win- 
dow wall  between  the  studio  workshop  and  the 
Forum  Room.  Even  though  the  far  wall  in  the 
profile  drawing  is  an  outside  wall,  the  architects 
resisted  any  temptation  to  put  the  windows  in 
that  wall.  They  placed  the  windows  inside  the 
building  and  between  rooms  so  they  might  serve 
the  instructional  program  rather  than  obstruct 
it  by  bringing  in  glaring  sunlight. 

These  three,  eight  feet  square,  double  panels 
of  glass,  are  windows  that  serve  many  purposes. 
They  separate  the  live  sound  of  the  two  rooms, 
but  through  electronics  and  the  control  room, 
the  sounds  from  either  room  may  be  controlled 
and  heard  in  the  other.  Groups  in  the  auditorium 
with  the  lights  dimmed  or  off  may  watch  the 
activities  in  the  studio  unobtrusively  and  unob- 
served. And  they  can  hear  every  word.  With 
translucent  projection  screens  placed  at  one  or  all 
of  these  windows,  a  whole  new  range  of  possi- 
bilities develop.  Using  standard  projection  equip- 
ment from  the  studio  side,  pictures  may  be  pro- 
jected to  two  hundred  fifty-two  people  seated  in 
the  auditorium.  Or,  for  closed  circuit  television, 
pictures  may  be  projected  from  the  auditorium 
side,  and  with  or  without  live  people  in  front  of 
the  screens  in  the  studio,  these  pictures  may  be 
picked  up  by  television  cameras  and  distributed 
to  as  many  as  twenty-five  hundred  people  seated 
in   classrooms  throughout   the  building. 

Already,  before  the  building  is  even  completed 
and  ready  for  use,  its  flexibility  and  adaptability 
to  new  uses  has  been  demonstrated.  Over  five 
years  will  have  elapsed  between  the  appointment 
of  the  committees  to  plan  the  building  and  its 
completion.  These  elapsed  years  were  not  wasted 
ones,  however.  They  were  years  of  the  most 
thoughtful,  careful,  and  thorough  planning  and 
building. 

One  of  the  five  fundamental  principles  and 
assumptions  upon  which  the  Audiovisual  Com- 
mittee had  based  its  recommendations  was  that 
"planning  miist  be  for  the  present  and  the  fu- 
ture:" 

"In  its  deliberations  the  committee  was  con- 
stantly mindful  that  it  was  planning  for  the 
present  and  the  future. 

"Most  of  the  audiovisual  materials  now  being 
used  in  the  schools  —  16mm  sound  motion  pic- 
tures, educational  radio  programs,  2x2  color 
slides,  tape  recordings  —  were  not  even  known 
25  years  ago.  With  the  accelerated  development 
of  audiovisual  communication  methods,  espe- 
cially television  in  recent  years,  it  is  not  possible 
for  this  committee  to  predict  the  specific  audio- 
visual forms  for  the  future.  Planning  must  pro- 
vide for  flexibility." 

"Flexibility"  was  thus  a  key  idea  in  all  of  the 
audiovisual  planning  for  this  building,  and  the 
effect  of  this  on  the  final  plan  will  again  be  em- 
phasized in  the  third  article  of  this  series  to  be 
published  in  the  May  issue  This  final  article  will 
tell  about  the  instructional  materials  resources 
center  and  the  way  it  developed  from  another 
lundamental  principle  believed  in  by  the  com- 
mittee: that  "audiovisual  materials  are  instruc- 
tional materials  and  closely  related  to  books  and 
other  teaching  materials."

Music  Lessons 

by 
Telephone ! 


by  Sim   Wilde 


NO  one  dials  and  notliing  rings  but  die  Asiieviile 
City  Schools  are  sending  their  music  lessons  by 
telephone  wire. 

On  any  week  day  morning  at  9:30  one  can  hear  a 
familiar  voice  in  six  elementary  schools  say,  "Good 
morning,  boys  and  girls.  It's  music  time  again."  And 
Mrs.  Frances  Martin,  music  supervisor,  begins  another 
lesson.  The  operation  of  the  wired  loop  broadcast  is 
simple,  yet  the  situation  is  rather  unique  according 
to  telephone  officials.  From  atop  a  small  room  in  City 
Hall,  the  teacher,  plus  one  person  operating  the  con- 
trols, sends  the  music  lessons  to  grades  one  through 
six,  five  times  a  week.  The  only  equipment  involved 
is  a  microphone,  an  amplifier  with  a  phono  attach- 
ment, a  tape  recorder  to  keep  a  record  of  the  broad- 
casts, and  a  piano  on  which  to  conduct  the  lessons. 
All  this  is  hooked  to  a  telephone  wire  which  travels 
to  the  telephone  company  for  further  amplification  to 
the  intercom  systems  in  the  schools.  The  principal 
simply  punches  the  right  buttons  on  the  inter-com  to 
send  the  broadcast  to  the  rooms  desired. 

All  this  evolved  in  a  strange  way.  One  of  the  prin- 
cipals of  the  schools  was  not  satisfied  with  the  meagre 
time  the  music  supervisor  could  spend  in  his  school. 
He  asked  her  to  make  some  tapes  of  her  music  lessons 
so  he  could  play  them  to  his  classes  as  desired.  This 
seemed  logical  and  the  supervisor  willingly  did  so. 
However,  other  schools  demanded  the  same  service 
and  before  long  it  seemed  that  all  her  time  could 
conceivably  be  taken  up  in  the  making  of  tapes.   This 


would  hinder  her  work  at  the  various  schools.  It  \n 
at  this  point  that  somebody  came  up  with  an  idea 
have  a  music  lesson  broadcast  to  all  the  schools 
the  same  time.  In  this  way  the  supervisor  could  spei 
fifteen  minutes  a  day  on  the  air  (or  in  the  wire  so 
speak)  and  the  rest  of  tlie  da\  in  field  work  and 
preparing  the  lessons. 

Then  began  a  search  for  the  projjcr  medium  ov 
which  to  broadcast  the  program.  C^oinniercial  rad 
stations  weie  contacted.  Yes,  all  were  willing  to  < 
the  job  as  a  public  service  but  tliere  were  many  coi 
jilications.  First  problem  was  the  lime  element.  Rad 
stations  have  to  work  on  strict  time  schedides.  T 
lessons  would  have  to  be  broadcast  at  the  statioi 
direction.  This  would  constitute  a  major  problem 
the  event  of  a  sudden  change.  In  addition  the  makii 
of  tapes  and  the  use  of  other  equipment  made  ti 
radio  stations  an  awkward  |)lace  for  the  broadca 
No,  a  system  under  the  direct  supervision  of  ti 
schools  was  needed.  But  who  could  afford  a  priva 
radio  station? 

Then  somebody  remembered  hearing  somewhe 
that  it  was  possible  to  send  messages  over  telephoi 
wire  if  there  was  some  sort  of  speaker  system  on  t) 
other  end.  Of  course!  All  the  schools  had  inter-con 
\Vhy  not  send  them  over  telephone  wire  to  them? 

A  hunied  conference  was  held  with  telephone  enj 
neers.  They  admitted  it  was,  indeed,  possible  bin  th 
they  had  not  been  faced  with  the  proposition  befoi 
riu'  only  cost  involved,  thev  said,  would  be  the  inst;

laiioii  charges  and  the  regular  rentals  the  same  as  for 
a  telephone.  .\nd  they  were  eager  and  willing  to  help 
work  it  out. 

The  decision  was  made  to  experiment  with  two  of 
the  elementary  schools  the  first  year.  The  telephone 
company  went  right  to  work  installing  a  line  to  the 
little  room  in  City  Hall  and  running  the  line  into  the 
schools.  .\  local  radio  shop  hooked  the  wire  to  the 
school  inter-coms.  On  the  business  end  of  the  idea, 
an  amplifier  was  purchased  with  a  phono  attachment 
so  that  not  only  words  and  live  music  but  recorded 
nuisic  could  be  sent  out.  The  supervisor  began  the 
preparation  of  her  scripts  —  planning  to  send  to  the 
iirst  and  second  grades  one  clay,  the  third  grades  an- 
other day,  the  Icjurth  grades  another  clay,  and  so  on. 

It  was  a  smashing  success.  The  teachers  in  the  two 
schools  found  the  music  lessons  well  prepared  and  ex- 
cellently done.  Those  who  felt  they  had  a  meagre 
background  in  music  found  first  rate  music  lessons 
(lone  for  them.  In  addition  they  were  supplied  with 
lesson  plans  so  they  could  prepare  for  and  follow  up 
the  broadcasts.  The  supervisor  had  at  her  immediate 
(onirol  many  records  and  materials  that  the  teachers 
lound  difficult  to  obtain.  It  was  so  popular  that  at 
the  end  of  the  year,  another  problem  was  faced.  All 
the  schools  wanted  in  on  the  broadcasts. 

This  called  for  more  consultation  with  the  tele- 
plujne  company.  .Since  there  would  be  six  schools  in- 
volved this  time,  more  elaborate  plans  had  to  be  made 
to  make  the  quality  of  the  reception  in  schools  near  or 


far  acceptable.  Telephone  engnieers  had  a  suggestion 
at  this  point.  Why  not  rent  their  amplifying  equip- 
ment, let  them  equalize  all  the  lines  for  volume  and 
tone  control,  and  they  would  guarantee  reception  to 
die  schools.  Agreements  were  made,  a  contract  was 
signed,  equipment  was  obtained,  and  the  lessons  were 
ready  to  begin. 

Of  course  there  were  kinks  that  had  to  be  ironed 
out.  Some  of  the  intercoms  were  not  in  too  good  con- 
dition. They  had  to  be  serviced  and  repaired.  Vari- 
ances in  the  age  and  make  of  the  intercoms  had  to  be 
allowed  for.  But  gradually  these  troubles  were  solved 
and  the  cjuality  is  as  good  as  the  famous  Bell  Tele- 
phone quality  can  be. 

If  one  should  visit  a  sixth  grade  class  in  any  of  the 
six  elementary  schools  participating  in  the  program 
on  a  Wednesday  morning  one  might  hear  a  rendition 
of  a  famous  piece  of  music  as  the  program  starts.  Then 
would  come  the  voice  of  Mrs.  Martin  explaining  the 
music  and  telling  about  the  composer  and  the  condi- 
tions under  which  the  music  was  written.  From  there 
the  lesson  would  go  on  to  songs  in  the  music  books 
the  children  have  on  their  desks.  They  would  partici- 
pate in  activities  planned  by  the  supervisor  and  sing 
along  with  her.  They  might  listen  meditatively  while 
she  explained  the  wonder  of  Sunset  from  the  "Grand 
Canyon  Suite"  or  they  might  shiver  as  they  heard 
"Danse  Macabre."  Another  time  they  might  laugh 
delightedly  as  they  clapped  their  hands  in  time  to  a 
rousing  folk  song.  Then  after  fifteen  minutes  or  so 
would  come  the  end  of  the  lesson  with  the  same  music 
signing  off  the  program.  One  might  then  watch  the 
teacher  in  the  classroom  as  she  led  her  class  in  follow- 
up  activities.  Later  in  the  day  one  might  observe  as 
Mrs.  Martin  checked  with  the  teacher  to  see  if  recep- 
tion was  good  or  if  a  certain  part  of  the  lesson  went 
over  to  the  students. 

The  cost?  Less  than  half  the  cost  of  a  teacher's  sal- 
ary per  year.  And  the  beauty  of  this  type  of  broad- 
casting is  that  the  telephone  wire  belongs  to  you  24 
hours  a  day.  This  leaves  much  room  for  expansion 
and  future  plans.  Foreign  language  lessons  could  be 
sent  to  elementary  schools  over  the  same  hook-up. 
.\dult  education  classes  could  be  taught  in  the  same 
way.  Prominent  persons  could  speak  to  all  the  schools 
at  the  same  time,  night  or  day.  Civil  Defense  pro- 
grams could  be  worked  out  so  that  all  schodls  could 
be  contacted  in  a  matter  of  minutes.  Communications 
from  the  superintendent's  office  could  be  sent  at  regu- 
lar times.  Et  cetera,  et  cetera,  and  et  cetera.  There 
are  thousands  of  possibilities  for  the  use  of  this  ar- 
rangement. Tentative  plans  are  to  hook  all  sixteen 
.\sheville  City  Schools  to  the  broadcast. 

If  your  school  has  a  telephone  and  an  intercom, 
you  could  have  such  an  arrangement.  But  it  will  take 
the  cooperation  of  many  people.  The  example  of  the 
work  done  in  Asheville  is  a  tribute  to  the  many  peo- 
ple who  worked  to  make  the  experiment  a  success.  As 
usual  the  cooperation  of  Southern  Bell  in  Asheville 
was  at  its  best.  The  teachers  and  the  principals  were 
patient  and  imderstanding  in  the  necessary  interrup- 
tions and  confusion  at  the  beginning.  The  superin- 
tendent, E.  C.  Funderburk,  was  willing  to  let  his  per- 
sonnel experiment  with  a  new  idea  even  at  the  risk  of 
failure. 

As  a  result  of  this  community  and  professional  co- 
operation, the  schools  now  have  a  valuable  and  money 
saving  system  to  provide  its  children  with  an  im- 
proved music  program. 

.\nd  to  think  —  you  never  get  a  busy  signal.

'NE  year  ago,  there  were  only  about  fifty 
high  school  language  labs.'  Soon  there  will  be 
hundreds  or  even  thousands  of  them,  thanks  to 
the  federal  matching  funds  available  through 
Title  III  of  Public  Law  864,  the  National  De- 
fense Education  Act.  The  provisions  of  this  act, 
in  turn,  only  reflect  the  recent  awareness  of  our 
country's  extreme  deficiency  in  modern  language 
skills,  as  expressed  most  recently  by  the  publi- 
cations of  Dr.  James  B.  Conant. 

Countless  language  teachers  and  principals 
are  now  asking:  What  arc  the  purposes  of  a  lan- 
guage lab?  Do  they  coincide  with  the  purposes  of 
our  own  language  teaching?  What  kind  of  equip- 
ment do  we  want?  What  can  we  get  for  our 
money,  including  the  matching  funds?  How  do 
we  choose  equipment,  install  it  and  service  it? 
How  shall  we  make  the  best  use  of  it? 

The  primary  purpose  of  the  lab  is  to  multiply 
the  aural-oral  practice  of  the  pupils,  esf)ecially 
in  the  beginning  classes,  and  thus  to  implement 
the  accepted  principle  that  foreign  language 
skills  should  be  acquired  in  this  sequence:  (1) 
aural  understanding;  (2)  speaking;  (3)  reading; 
(4)  writing.  The  general  acceptance  of  this  prin- 
ciple since  World  War  II  (when  the  armed 
services  found  that  language  students,  and  even 
language  teachers,  could  not  speak  their  foreign 
language,  is  extremely  significant,  for  it  rejects 
the   "silent   reading"    primary   objective   of    the

previous  generation.  The  "deaf-and-dumb"  tech- 
niques have  now  been  abandoned,  and  hearing- 
and-speaking  has  been  endorsed  by  the  Modern 
Language  Association,  the  American  Coimcil  of 
Learned  Societies,  and  by  virtually  every  major 
organiaztion  of  modern  language  teachers  in  our 
country.  The  CEEB,  finally,  has  announced  that 
a  recorded  test  of  aural  understanding  will  be 
included  in  its  foreign  language  tests,  beginning 
one  year  hence. 

Any  teacher  who  still  clings  to  the  reading 
method  and  grammar-translation  in  the  elemen- 
tary course  can  not  make  good  use  of  a  language 
lab.  On  the  other  hand,  any  teacher  who  believes 
in  the  oral-aural  method  should  have  a  lab.  Even 
if  the  teacher's  oral  French  (or  German,  or  what- 
ever) is  faulty,  he  can  profit,  like  his  students, 
from  excellent  recordings  and  imitative  practice. 

If  he  speaks  the  language  well,  he  can  also 
make  recordings  for  his  students,  and  thus  "mul- 
tiply the  good  teacher."  This  is  not  the  place  to 
expound  the  techniques  used  in  the  language 
lab.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  electronic  equipment 
and  appropriate  techniques  can  accomplish  what 
was  formerly  possible  only  by  semi-tutorial  in- 
struction; a  ready  comprehension  of  authentic 
foreign  speech,  good  pronunciation  habits,  and 
an  oral  repertory  of  usefid,  high-frequency  for- 
eign phrases  and  expressions,  spoken  naturally. 

Such  are  the  purposes,  in  elementary  classes,  of 
the  language  lab.  Each  teacher  or  principal  must 
decide  whether  these  are  also  his  purposes  in 
offering  foreign  language  instruction. 

What  kind  of  equipment?  This  is  really  a 
multiple  question,  for  it  involves  money,  sched- 
uling, and  a  couple  of  moot  points  in  the  psy- 
chology of  audio  learning.    (See  diagrams.) 

Mere  listening  to  recorded  material  is  doubt- 
less better  than  nothing,  but  it  is  inherently 
passive  and  it  soon  becomes  tedious.  Vocal  imi- 
tation is  needed,  for  speaking  is  surely  a  do-it- 
yourself  activity.  This  in  turn  requires  a  feeling 
of   privacv    (to   avoid   self-consciousness   and    to 


heighten  concentration);  some  acoustical  isola- 
tion (to  prevent  a  general  uproar  and  inter- 
disturbance);  and  headphones  (to  shut  out 
extraneous  sounds  and,  more  important,  to 
achieve  the  person-to-person  sense  of  immediacy 
that  only  headphones  can  give). 

All  this  adds  up  to  a  row  of  acoustically- 
treated  booths,  however  simple,  along  the  rear 
and/or  side  wall  (s)  of  a  regular  classroom.  (See 
Diagram  A.)  A  double  glass  partition  enables  the 
teacher  to  keep  an  eye  on  activities  in  the  booths 
while  conducting  a  totally  undisturbed  class. 

A  more  ambitious  layout  (see  Diagram  B) 
fills  the  rooms  with  booths  which  can  be  trans- 
formed in  a  few  seconds  into  normal  seat-and- 
desk  facilities. 2  This  arrangement  is  desirable  for 
small  schools  which  cannot  devote  a  room  ex- 
clusively to  language  laboratory  work.  The  en- 
tire class  participates  simultaneously  in  lab 
activities,  rather  than  group  by  group,  as  in 
Diagram  A. 

The  full-sized  lab,  whether  convertible  or  not, 
raises  the  perennial  question  of  whether  it  should 
be  used  by  each  class  as  a  unit,  or  by  individual 
students  who  drop  in  as  they  would  at  the 
library.  Both  types  are  found  in  the  universities, 
where  schedules  and  facilities  generally  allow 
more  freedom  of  choice.  For  our  present  purpose 
it  is  assumed  that  the  high  school  lab  must  be 
scheduled  with  the  utmost  efficiency,  and  that 
student  and  teacher  schedules  are  best  suited  to 
class-by-class  use  of  it. 

Convertible  or  permanent,  the  booths  of  lab 
B  should  be  wired  so  that  individual  recording 
facilities  may  easily  be  added  later.  As  original 
wiring,  the  cost  of  this  is  negligible;  as  a  later 
rewiring  job  it  is  costly.

Interniediate  between  B  and  C  is  the  activated 
microphone  technique  by  which  the  student 
speaks  and  simultaneously  hears  his  voice 
through  headphones.  No  recording  is  involved: 
he  hears  himself  electronically  while  he  is  in 
the  very  act  of  speaking  what  he  hears.  Doubt- 
less he  also  hears  himself  more  or  less  by  bone 
conduction,  in  the  normal  way.  No  research  is 
yet  available  on  the  relative  amount  or  the  effect 
of  thus  hearing  oneself  objectively  and  subjec- 
tively at  the  same  time.  A  more  difficult  research 
problem  is  to  determine  the  possible  gains  or 
losses  through  the  attempt  to  telescope  the  pro- 
duction of  careful  imitative  foreign  speech  with 
the  simultaneous  hearing,  comparison  with  the 
model,  and  criticism  of  one's  speech  production. 
Considerable  research,  both  physical  and  psycho- 
logical, will  be  needed  to  settle  these  questions. 
If  the  activated  microphone  proves  to  achieve 
results  as  good  as  those  of  individual  recording 
and  playback,  much  money  can  be  saved  on 
equipment.  But  this  remains  to  be  proved. 

The  complete  laboratory  with  individual  re- 
cording ancl  playback  for  all  students  (diagram 
C),  has  always  been  considered  the  optimum 
arrangement.  The  student  first  engages  in  oral 
imitation,  alternating  with  "his  master's  voice" 
(recordecl):  after  several  minutes  of  this,  he  plays 
back  his  own  recording  of  what  he  has  heard 
and  said,  thus  hearing  himself  as  others  hear 
him.  This  playback  enables  him  to  concentrate 
on  comparing  his  own  performance  with  that  of 
the  master,  and  thereby  to  criticize  and  improve 
himself.  Individual  recording,  followed  by  indi- 
vidual playback,  maintains  the  natural  separa- 
tion and  sequence  of  creation  followed  by  review 
and  self-criticism. 

The  individual  recording  facility  for  each 
student  may  be  of  three  types:  (1)  a  dual-channel 
instrument  for  each  student;  (2)  a  single-channel 
instrument  for  each;  one  multi-channel  instru- 
ment serving  as  many  as  16  students.  Any  of 
these  may,  and  preferably  should,  be  wired  to  a 
master  switchboard  or  console  which  enables  the 
teacher  to  "tune  in"  any  booth  and  hear  all  that 
the  student  hears  and  says.  A  further  refinement 
permits  the  teacher  to  converse  with  any  student 
while  the  others  are  undisftirbed. 

Dual-channel  instruments  are  somewhat  more 
expensive  than  single  channel,  and  most  require 
a  pre-recorded  master  tape  for  each  instrument. 
Every  machine  is  a  self-contained  unit,  so  that 
each  student  may  be  practicing  a  different  lesson 
or  language.  This  is  the  library  type  of  installa- 
tion, permitting  complete  flexibility.  It  is  also 
the  library  type  of  study,  assuming  motivation 
and  maturity  on  the  part  of  the  student.  How- 
ever, just  as  the  library  must  have  a  great  many 
books  for  its  borrowers,  this  kind  of  language 
lab  must  have  a  great  many  pre-recorded  tapes 
on  hand.  The  task  of  recording,  cataloging, 
filing,  etc.,  is  considerable  and  costly. 

The  single-channel  installation  requires  only 
one  master  tape  for  the  whole  room.  The  "mas- 
ter" is  played  on  an  instrument  operated  by  the 
teacher,  and  simultaneously  is  piped  into  all  the 
booths.  This  "master-slave"  arrangement,  rela- 
tively simple  and  economical,  facilitates  the 
teacher's  task  of  monitoring,  grading  and  criti- 
cizing the  work  of  the  various  students,  since 
normally  they  are  all  doing  the  same  thing  at

Locally  constructed,  $30  to  $150,  average  arounc 
$70.  .Simple  partitions  (faced  with  acousticaj 
material)  added  to  tables  cost  only  a  few  dollar; 
per  student  position.  Standards:  As  for  classroom 
furnitiue,  jjIus  the  need  for  visual  and  acoustical 
isolation.  CONVERTIBLE  booths,  suitable  foi 
eventual  use  in  Lab  B  or  C,  can  be  constructed 
by  using  dividers  hinged  to  fold  down  over  the 
table  top.  In  Lab  B  or  C,  a  hinged  front  panel 
woidd  be  added. 

ROOM  TREATMENT:  Varies  with  the  room 
.\t  least  some  acoustic  tile  on  ceiling  and  upper 
wall  to  deaden  echoes  and  lower  noise  level. 

EARPHONES:  Crystal  should  be  used,  since 
nothing  cheaper  is  acoustically  adequate.  From 
$12  a  pair  (can  be  damaged  by  extremely  high 
humidity)  to  $20  for  "metalseal"  phones. 

ELECTRONIC  AND  ELECTRICAL  WIR-I 
ING:  Varies  with  the  room.  Average:  $3  to  $10 
per  student  position,  including  materials  and 
labor. 

RECORDER -PLAYBACK:  Conforming  to 
N.A.R.T.B.  secondary  standards  for  frequency 
response.  If  used  for  re-recording  or  speech  cor- 
rection, should  meet  N.A.R.T.B.  primary  stand- 
ards. Equalization  characteristics:  N.A.R.T.B.

cent harmonic  distortion  level. 

Flutter:  Below  0.3  percent.  Wow:  Less  than 
0.1  percent,  r.m.s.  Such  an  instrument  costs  from 
$200  up. 

MICROPHONES:  Almost  without  exception, 
those  furnished  with  instruments  are  of  poor 
quality.  Adequate  replacement  cost  from  $35  to 
$150.  Remember  that  the  "weakest  link"  analogy

language  may  at  the  same  time  be  piped  to  a

them  as  a  sending  station  for  the  others.  This 
in  turn  may  be  subdivided  at  will.

The  general  specification  for  lab  A  apply  here. 
It  may  be  desirable  to  have  two  or  more  play- 
backs mounted  in  or  near  the  teacher's  desk, 
and  an  intercom  amplifier  (|50)  and  microphone 
to  enable  him  to  talk  to  students  through  their 
earphones.  Movie  equipment,  slide  projector, 
and  other  aids  may  be  added  effectively.  Room 
wiring  should  be  planned  for  future  expansion 
into  lab  C,  and  may  cost  from  $5  to  $25  per 
student  position,  including  materials  and  labor. 

[Diagram  C] 

The  specifications  for  labs  A  and  B  carry  over 
here,  except  that  the  requirements  for  the  stu- 
dent recorders,  if  not  used  for  re-recording  or 
music,  can  be  less  stringent.  The  N.A.R.T.B. 
frequency  response  standards  may  be  modified  to 
let  the  upper  decibel  response  limit  be  a  mirror 
image  of  the  lower  limit.  Flutter:  as  high  as  0.5 
percent;  wow  tolerable  to  0.3  percent,  r.m.s. 
Microphones  may  be  in  the  $10  to  $35  range. 
Great  attention  should  be  given  to  simplicity  of 
operation,  durability,  ease  of  maintenance,  and 
similar  factors.  The  technical  expert  should 
check  on  levels,  impedances,  and  actual  func- 
tions performed.  Reject  an  installation  in  which 
the  student  cannot  hear  his  own  voice  through 
earphones  at  a  60-80  db  level,  both  while  record- 
ing and  during  playback.  Individual  student 
recorders:  $175  to  $550,  installed.  Multi-channel 
equipment:  From  $455  to  $625  per  student 
position. 

A  centralized  switching  system  for  channeling 
lesson  material  to  the  students,  with  monitoring 
and  intercom,  will  cost  from  $50  for  a  simple 
switch  panel  to  $1,500  or  more  for  a  functional, 
attractive  control  console  with  extreme  flexibility. 

Little  faith  can  be  placed  in  advertised  specifi- 
cations, since  there  is  no  controlling  agency.  Se- 
cure competent  technical  advice  before  making 
decisions. 


breakdowns  and  delays  impelled  the  experts  to 
instruments  need  no  longer  be  located  in  the 
student  booths.  Rack-mounted  in  some  central 
location,  the  instruments  are  remotely  operated 
by  students  using  switches  in  their  booths,  or  — 
more  simply  —  by  the  teacher  using  a  master 
seek  a  remedy,  with  the  result  that  the  "slave" 
control  for  all  instruments.  Another  innovation, 
the    multi-channel     instrument,    can     serve     16 


booths  and  is  also  operated  by  the  teacher.  With 
both  of  these  arrangements,  the  students  can  do 
all  that  they  now  do  with  their  individual  in- 
struments. 

Poor  quality,  whether  of  sound  or  of  mechani- 
cal performance,  is  never  a  bargain.  One  high- 
quality  (not  necessarily  hi-fi)  recorder-reproducer 
is  better  than  a  dozen  "cheap"  instruments  of 
telephone-quality  sound.  Mechanical  breakdowns 
are  obviously  demoralizing  to  students  and 
teacher  alike.  But  the  insidious  failure  to  trans- 
mit all  the  necessary  sound  frequencies  is  even 
more  serious,  for  it  may  not  be  detected  by  a 
teacher  who  speaks  the  language  well.  Just  as  we 
"hear,"  over  the  telephone,  a  good  many  sounds 
that  are  not  really  transmitted,  so  will  he  equate 
easy  intelligibility,  in  the  foreign  language  re- 
cording, with  full  reproduction.  But  his  students 
will  never  hear  those  missing  high-frequency 
sounds  in  the  strange  new  language. 

Rule  of  thumb,  or  of  ear,  must  be  abandoned 
by  teacher  and  principal  and  purchasing  agent. 
Likewise,  rule  of  price,  of  salesman  and  adver- 
tising blurb.  In  their  place,  sensitive  instruments 
must  be  used  by  an  expert,  perhaps  a  local  radio 
engineer  or  hi-fi  repair  man.  For  a  proper  fee  he 
should  first  choose  (on  approval!)  whatever  satis- 
factory equipment  your  budget  permits,  by  a 
study  of  its  guaranteed  specifications  and  per- 
formance ratings.  Competitive  bids  should  then 
be  sought.  On  receipt,  the  equipment  should  be 
tested  by  instruments,  and  rejected  if  the  expert 
finds  that  simple  adjustments  do  not  bring  it  up 
to  advertised  performance. 

Installation  and  wiring,  however  simple, 
should  be  planned  and  supervised  by  the  expert. 
He  will  forestall  the  unwitting  blunders  of  the 
local  handyman,  or  even  the  licensed  electrician. 
Knowing  electronics,  he  can  prevent  such  "grem- 
lins" as  crosstalk,  install  an  automatic  shut-off, 
and  safety  devices  to  prevent  the  hazards  of 
shock  or  fire. 

Like  your  car,  your  audio  equipment  requires 
regular  service  to  prevent  deterioration  and 
breakdowns.  The  servicing  should  be  done  under 
contract  by  someone  who  understands  electronics, 
perhaps  a  hi-fi  service  man.  Regular  lubrication, 
adjustment  and  tests  will  forestall  serious  trou- 
ble. No  outside  help  is  needed  for  the  minor 
details.  Record  and  erase  heads  should  be  cleaned 
daily.  This  is  utterly  simple,  and  it  requires  only 
a  few  seconds  for  each  machine,  but  the  job 
should  be  done  carefully.  Tapes  can  be  easily 
spliced  (on  the  right  side!),  using  a  standard 
splicer.  Today's  students,  familiar  with  gadgets, 
easily  learn  to  operate  controls  correctly.  (But 
beware  of  the  inquisitive  boy  who  brings  a  screw- 
driver!) 

The  prospective  purchaser  of  modest  equip- 
ment should  visit  at  least  one  or  two  well  estab- 
lished labs  similar  to  what  he  thinks  he  wants. 
After  seeing  and  hearing  them  in  operation,  and 
talking  with  teachers  and  principal,  he  will  be 
able  to  plan  wisely  and  avoid  disappointments. 
If  he  is  going  to  have  an  elaborate  installation, 
his  superintendent  should  engage  the  services  of 
an  educational  consultant  in  the  field  of  lan- 
guage labs.  Enlightened  advice,  both  educational 
and  technical,  is  the  least  costly  component  of 
the  language  lab.

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  April,   1959 


A  virtually  complete  audio  service 

is  offered  to  local  citizens 

by  the  Louisville  Free  Public  Library 


\^_^NE  of  the  largest  collections  of  tape  re- 
corded music  available  anywhere  is  turning 
audiophiles  into  bibliophiles  and  vice  versa. 
With  it,  the  Louisville  Free  Public  Library  is 
providing  a  unique  service  to  a  population  of 
almost  400,000. 

Dorothy  L.  Day,  head  of  the  library's  audio- 
visual department,  is  responsible  for  providing 
this  "mountain  of  sound"  to  the  public.  Overall 
direction  is  the  province  of  Clarence  R.  Graham, 
director  of  the  nineteen-branch,  city-wide  library 
and  originator  of  the  present  audiovisual  setup. 

Naturally,  not  every  Louisville  resident  has 
the  same  taste  in  music.  Miss  Day  supervises  a 
battery  of  39  .\mpex  model  350  professional 
tape  recording  machines  and  ten  Ampex  model 
300  professional  console  models.  The  two  FM 
stations  operated  by  the  Library  (WFPL— 89.3 
mc,  250  watts,  and  WFPK-91.9  mc,  .3000  watts) 
play  pre-recorded  tapes  and  longplaying  records, 
12  hours  a  day,  seven  days  a  week,  all  year  long. 
Even  the  citizen  without  an  FM  radio  is  taken 
care  of,  as  FM  receivers  can  be  borrowed  on  a 
library  card! 

Both  stations  distribute  printed  program  sched- 
ules listing  a  wide  variety  of  programs,  ranging 
from  "Old  MacDonald  Had  .Some  Wood"  to  less- 
er-known works  of  Alessandro  Scarlatti  and  tape 
recorded  discussions  on  such  subjects  as  "The 
Philosophy  of  Psychology." 

The  Louisville  Library's  audiovisual  unit  also 
pipes  music  over  some  40  leased  wires  to  city 
hospitals  and  listening  rooms  scattered  through- 
out the  branch  libraries  and  the  University  of 
l,ouisville.  The  hospital  line  broadcasts  music 
for  10  hours  a  day.  Another  line  connecting  the 
hospital  and  the  library  tape  records  lectures 
in  the  hospital  auditorium  for  later  playback 
to  other  classes. 


City  high  schools  and  the  University  of  Louis- 
ville are  connected  with  the  library's  Ampex 
tape  central  too.  As  a  matter  of  regular  course, 
drama,  music  and  music  history  instructors  as- 
sign listening  homework.  The  student  can  re- 
quest that  his  assignment  be  played  in  listening 
rooms  in  his  school  or  later  in  the  branch  of  the 
library  nearest  his  home. 

Dramatic  tapes  of  plays,  lectures  and  discus- 
sions are  piped  over  closed  lines  the  same  way. 
Many  of  these  tapes,  secured  from  the  National 
Association  of  Educational  Broadcasters,  are  also 
broadcast  over  both  FM  stations. 

Another  private  wire  use  has  just  been  inno- 
vated. It's  a  series  of  tape  recorded  reviews  of 
children's  books,  which  are  piped  over  the  cir- 
cuits to  assistant  librarians  in  the  branches  and 
serve  two  purposes— familiarizing  the  staff  with 
all  the  latest  children's  books  and  training  new 
staff  members. 

Housed  in  two  audio  control  rooms,  these 
professional  console  model  recorders  serve  still 
another  function.  Concerts  of  the  Louisville  Or- 
chestra, performances  by  the  Kentucky  Opera 
Association  and  lectures  at  the  University  of 
Louisville  are  picked  up  by  private  wire  and 
recorded  at  15  inches  per  second  back  in  the 
audio  control  room.  These  tapes  then  become 
part  of  the  library's  regular  source  for  FM  pro- 
gram material,  at  present  consisting  of  around 
16,000  pre-recorded  tapes  (most  at  15  inches  per 
second). 

From  the  LP  record  library,  around  15,000 
records,  each  card  holder  can  check  out  five  LP 
discs  at  a  time. 

What  has  all  this  done  to  the  library's  orig- 
inal function?  Since  the  start  of  the  audiovisual 
program,  book  circulation  has  gone  up  40  per- 
cent!

A   biolog\   teacher  uses  an 
overhead  projector  for  a  TV 
demonstration. 


Classroom   Projectors 
Find  Use  in  ETV 


by  Lou  Peneguy 

OVERHEAD  projectors  are  proving  to  be 
almost  indispensable  in  programming  in- 
school  telecasts  of  the  Alabama  Educational 
Television  Network.  The  network,  the  only  one 
of  its  kind  in  the  country,  has  three  program- 
ming agencies,  which  reach  approximately  sixty 
thousand  students  per  week. 

At  the  Birmingham  ETV  studio,  the  overhead 
projector  is  in  daily  use  by  two  of  the  direct 
teaching  instructors.  Bettye  Watson,  Alabama 
History  instructor,  uses  it  to  sketch  Indian  trails. 
Civil  War  battlefield  engagements,  or  the  pas- 
sage of  stern-wheel  flatboats  through  Alabama 
waterways. 

Biology  teacher  Mary  Rogers,  pictured  above, 
is  able  to  "animate"  diagrammed  insects  and 
plants.  First,  she  projects  the  outline  of  the 
object  under  discussion,  such  as  plant  leaf  or  a 
fly  wing,  drawn  on  a  transparency  onto  a  screen 
which  is  picked  up  by  the  studio  TV  camera. 
Then,  in  loose-leaf  style,  a  transparent  sheet 
containing  a  few  basic  structures  is  dropped  over 
it.  This  is  followed  by  additional  detailed  art 
on  consecutive  transparent  sheets  consecutively 
dropped  over  the  original  outline,  giving  the 
student  a  logical,  step-by-step  learning  sequence. 

Producer  Ted  Nicholas  claims  the  unit  is 
"the  most  flexible  and  exciting  visual  aid"  at 
the  Birmingham  studio.  His  opinion  is  that  "its 
potentiality  for  ETV  work  has  yet  to  be  really 
tapped."  And  program  coordinator  Frank  Mar- 
tin believes  he  has  found  an  "ETV  first"  use  for 
the  projector  unit. 

Although  the  studio  also  has  a  rear  screen 
projector,   occasionally   complications   make   its 


use  impractical.  One  such  instance  occurred 
when  the  studio  was  producing  a  high  school 
play  which  called  for  drama  floor  staging  space 
and  for  a  sizable  chorus.  The  choir,  scheduled 
to  handle  the  musical  bridges  between  scenes, 
had  to  be  "live."  The  resulting  mass  of  students 
scheduled  for  the  studio  curtailed  the  floor  space 
and  thus  the  required  throw  of  the  rear  screen 
projector. 

The  overhead  projector  was  brought  into  use 
and  it  was  discovered  to  satisfactorily  project  an 
acceptable  picture  on  to  the  studio  rear  screen. 

The  problem  was  to  make  a  transparency  for 
the  needed  setting;  in  this  case  it  was  the  side  of 
a  specific  cathedral  in  France.  An  illustration 
from  a  book  was  photographed,  and  the  nega- 
tive was  enlarged  to  an  8  x  10  transparency.  This 
was  placed  on  the  projector,  which  needed  only 
a  fifteen-foot  throw  to  create  a  "life  size"  illusion 
when  it  was  projected  on  the  rear  screen. 

Mr.  Martin  also  noted  that  the  overhead 
projector  uses  two  thousand  watts  less  electricity 
than  does  the  standard  studio  rear  screen  pro- 
jector. A  former  motion  picture  theatre  manager, 
he  commented  that  this  same  principle  could 
even  be  used  by  projecting  from  behind  a  tightly 
framed  bedsheet  where  a  rear  screen  is  not  avail- 
able, but  a  good  special  plastic  translucent  screen 
is  much  to  be  preferred. 

The  producers  are  eager  to  try  additional 
experiments  in  the  application  of  the  projection 
imit  on  ETV,  and  are  interested  in  exchanging 
ideas  with  others  who  have  had  experience  with 
various  types  of  projectors  in  television  pro- 
gframming.

by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


.\t  one  time  when  we  were  screening 
for  this  month's  previews  we  ahnost 
thought  we  might  come  up  willi  a  com- 
pletely audiovisual  column,  there  were 
so  many  sound-filmstrips.  This  is  par- 
ticularly interesting,  for  it  would  seem 
to  indicate  a  definite  trend  toward 
such  material;  it  would  apparently 
indicate  approval  of  the  combination 
as  a  desirable  one.  There  was  a  time 
when  sound  filmstrips  did  not  arouse 
much  interest  or  enthusiasm  on  the 
part  of  teachers,  and  much  of  the 
material  produced  was,  in  our  own 
personal  opinion,  all  too  much  like 
many  of  the  commercials  on  radio  and 
television.  The  pictures  of  the  film- 
strips  were  fairly  good,  but  when  it 
came  to  the  recordings  there  seemed 
to  be  a  universal  tendency  to  employ 
narrators  who  sounded  like  high-pres- 
sure salesmen  or  itinerant  preachers. 
Perhaps  some  of  the  criticism  of  this 
pattern  made  itself  felt,  for  certainly 
the  newer  productions  have  come  out 
from  this  pattern  and  are  of  much 
better  quality  insofar  as  the  records 
are  concerned.  This  is  a  very  welcome 
sign,  for  there  is  a  definite  place  for 
the  sound-filmstrip  as  an  instructional 
device.  We  all  need  to  remember,  how- 
ever, that  pupils  can  sense  any  trace 
of  "snobbishness,  insincere  -  emoting 
and  ivory-tower  preachiness."  The  rec- 
ord which  provides  the  narrative  for 
a  filmstrip  must  adhere  to  the  same 
standards  set  for  the  visual  part,  and 
must  be  of  equal  quality  and  high 
audio  tonal  value.  We  were  quite 
intrigued  by  some  of  those  we  pre- 
viewed, and  here  present  them  for  your 
consideration. 


Cadet  Rouselle  and 
The  Raftsmen 

(2  single  strips,  color,  each  with 
record;  produced  by  National  Film 
Board  of  Canada  and  available  from 
Stanley  Bowmar  Co.,  12  Cleveland  St., 
Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  |11  for  each  filmstrip- 
record  unit).  There  is  a  richness  in 
French  Canadian  folklore  that  has  tre- 
mendous appeal.  In  the  two  filmstrips 
here  considered,  the  appeal  is  to  both 
eye  and  ear.  The  songs  themselves  are 
gay,  melodic  refrains  that  seem  to  stay 
with  you,  and  the  recordings  are  good. 
The  pictorial  content  of  both  strips  is 
not  only  colorful,  but  seems  to  catch 
the  spirit  of  the  songs  and  make  them 


live.  In  particular,  teachers  and  pupi 
will  enjoy  the  art  work  of  "The  Rafi 
men."  The  original  art  work  was  dot 
by  the  children  of  a  Canadian  scho^ 
as  part  of  a  special  project.  It  shoui 
prove  interesting  to  discuss  the  drai 
ings  and  to  note  the  references  i 
customs  and  life  of  the  woodsmen  i 
the  Canadian  northwoods  area.  This 
excellent  material  for  art,  music  ar 
social  studies  at  many  g^ade  levels; 
should  also  be  recommended  for  clii 
and  camp  groups. 

Desert  Plants 

(2  single  strips,  color;  produced  I 
Moody  Institute  of  Science,  Los  Ai 
geles  25,  California;  $6  per  strip 
"Our  Desert  Treasure"  and  "Mini 
ture  Plants  of  the  Desert"  provide  i 
with  a  very  complete  pictorial  stoi 
of  plant  life  in  the  desert  areas  of  oi 
southwest.  We  discover  that  the  dese 
is  the  home  of  many  interesting  plan 
and  creatures,  from  the  Joshua  tr< 
to  the  jack  rabbit;  we  also  discovi 
what  irrigation  has  made  possible  i 
turning  deserts  from  great  waste  are? 
into  highly  productive  areas.  The  sti 
dent  who  has  never  seen  the  mar 
beautiful  types  of  desert  plants  will  I 
interested  to  find  how  many  kinds  ( 
cactus  blooms  there  are;  he  will  ah 
be  interested  to  learn  of  the  mar 
scientific  studies  dealing  with  plan, 
and  life  on  the  desert.  This  type  ( 
filmstrip  has  value  for  curriculum  pu 
poses,  and  it  is  also  enjoyable  as 
pleasant  viewing  experience. 

Seed  Plants 

(6  strips,  color;    produced  by  Cre 
live  Education,  Inc.,  340  N.  Milwa 
kee   Ave.,    Libertyville,    III.;    $28    p' 
set,  $5  single  strips).  Growing  plan 
are  an  integral  part  of  the  life  arour 
us,  and  it  is  important  for  pupils 
have  some  clear  concepts  of  how  plan 
actually  grow.  From  seed  to  flower  ar. 
fruit,   this  series  shows  us  many  suij 
details:  what  happens  when  a  seed  '\ 
planted;   what  are  the  separate  fun 
tions  of  roots,  stems  and  leaves;  hoi 
does  a  plant  develop  and  mature;  wh| 
uses  do  plants  serve  in  the  life  of  ma  | 
The    photographs   are   clear   and   w( 
defined,  and  the  material  is  planned 
meet  the  needs  of  pupils  in  the  raidd 
science  course  work.

An   Educational  Adventure 

in  the  Development  of  Our  Democracy 

How  thrilling  is  the  story  of  America!  Here  now,  young  people 
can  see  the  great  heroes,  the  villains,  the  common  man,  spring 
into  lifelike  dimensions.  Washington,  Paine,  Wolfe,  Clark. 
Boone,  and  scores  of  others  become  flesh  and  blood  —  no  longer 
mere  names.  Now  the  student  can  identify  himself  with  these, 
relate  to  the  moving  historical  episodes  which  gave  birth  to 
his  democracy. 

Largely   Bosed   on   the   Accurate   Reconstructions 
Presented  in  the  Chronicles  of  America  Photoplays 

The  Photoplays  represented  the  culmination  of  ten  years  of 
painstaking  effort  by  teams  of  outstanding  specialists  in  the 
scholastic  disciplines  and  the  professional  arts,  and  have 
achieved  recognition  as  a  significant  tool  in  the  educational 
process  in  our  country.  The  production  of  the  Filmstrips  has 
been  inspired  by  the  same  critical  spirit,  the  same  impatience 
with  halfway  measures,  the  same  insistence  on  historical  accuraq 
and  high  artistic  standards. 

An   Unparalleled  Opportunity 

Through  the  Photoplays  has  come  a  new  source  of  authentic, 
original  material  for  filmstrips,  never  before  available.  Never 
before  did  the  possibility  exist  for  portraying  America's  gre«i 
heritage  so  dramatically  and  realistically  in  filmstrips.  Here 
was  an  unparalleled  opportunity  for  the  Yale  University  Press 
Film  Service,  in  keeping  with  its  long  tradition  to  make  an  im- 
portant contribution  to  a  better  understanding  of  our  country's 
history. 

That  is  why  The  Chronicles  of  America  Filmstrips  are  unique 
as  a  teaching  aid.  They  emanate  from  the  deep,  wide  range  of 
historical  riches  presented  in  the  Photoplays  and  other  rare 
sources.  Thus,  the  Film  Service  can  offer  these  inspiring  "educa-

French  Language  Series 

(Set  No.  1  —  5  strips,  color,  with 
correlated  records;  produced  by  Pathe- 
scope-Berlitz,  10  Columbus  Circle,  New 
York,  N.  Y.;  $84.50  for  Set  No.  1; 
consult  catalog  for  prices  of  complete 
set  of  40  lessons  to  be  produced). 
Never  before  has  there  been  such  in- 
terest in  language  study.  Certainly 
anyone  who  is  undertaking  the  study 
of  French  will  find  this  audiovisualized 
unit  both  appealing  and  instructive. 
The  filmstrips  provide  a  human  inter- 
est story,  photographed  in  France;  the 
records  provide  opportunity  to  hear 
and  participate  in  a  multi-voiced  na- 
tive French  narrationat  conversational 
pace.  There  are  many  potentialities  for 
using  both  filmstrips  and  records.  We 
personally  feel  that  they  bring  a  life- 
like quality  to  the  study  of  French 
that  will  be  particularly  helpful  to  the 
beginning  study  of  that  language.  The 
unit  indicated  here  is  the  first  in  what 
will  be  a  set  of  forty  lesson  units. 


The  Man  Without 
a  Country 

(single  strip,  color,  with  record; 
produced  by  Films  For  Education, 
.\udio  Lane,  New  Haven,  Conn.;  $15 
for  filmstrip  and  record).  Edward 
Everett  Hale's  story  of  Philip  Nolan 
is  here  pictorialized  for  us,  with  a 
recorded  dramatization  by  members  of 
the  Yale  University  School  of  Drama. 
The  presentation  is  faithful  to  the 
story  and  highlights  the  main  points  of 
interest.  It  is  intended  for  use  with 
intermediate,  junior  and  senior  high 
school  classes.  Art  work  and  color  qual- 
ity are  vivid.  The  narration  is  called 
a  dramatization,  but  is  not  a  staged, 
over  -  emotionalized  production;  the 
tonal  quality  is  level,  informative  and 
clear.  Material  of  this  type  should 
stimulate  further  interest  in  reading, 
and  also  help  to  make  "literature" 
take  on  a  greater  degree  of  reality.

Life  Long  Ago 

(6  strips,  color;  produced  by  Society 
for  Visual  Education,  1345  Diversey 
Parkway,  Chicago  14,  III.;  $32.40  per 
set,  $6  single  strips).  Really  to  under- 
stand life  on  this  earth  today,  we  must 
know  something  of  what  transpired 
centuries  ago.  With  the  help  of  the 
Chicago  Museum  of  Natural  History 
this  series  shows  us  something  of  what 
happened  in  the  coal  age;  what  hap- 
pened when  reptiles  ruled  the  earth; 
what  we  know  about  life  long  ago  and 
how  man  has  been  able  to  read  the 
stories  told  by  fossils.  There  is  always 
a  fascination  in  seeing  how  scientific 
study  has  enabled  us  to  reconstruct 
the  story  of  the  past.  These  filmstrips 
have  special  value  when  used  in  con- 
junction with  text  materials  and  with 
visits  to  museums  and  areas  of  historic- 
scientific  importance. 


People  and  Pets 

(single  strip,  color,  and  record;  pro- 
duced by  The  Humane  Society  of  the 
United  States,  HUE  Street,  Washing- 
ton 4,  D.  C;  $1  charge  to  cover  postage 
and  handling).  All  too  often  the  own- 
ers of  pets  fail  to  realize  the  responsi- 
bilities which  go  with  such  ownership, 
and  also  fail  to  give  their  pets  the 
proper  care.  Working  with  the  Girl 
Scouts  of  America,  the  producers  of 
this  unit  have  given  us  a  clear  picture 
of  what  it  means  to  be  the  owner  of  a 
pet;  of  how  we  should  care  for  cats 
and  dogs,  and  what  societies  have  been 
organized  to  assure  proper  control  of 
animals.  Many  interesting  facts  about 
animal  care  are  outlined.  The  ma- 
terial is  designed  for  children  between 
the  ages  of  7  and  14,  but  this  is  an- 
other instance  when  we  would  recom- 
mend disregarding  rigid  adherence  to 
such  designations.  This  set  will  be 
valuable  for  pet  owners  of  any  age. 


Roots  of  Religious 
Freedom 

(single  strip,  color;  produced  by  Jam 
Handy  Organization,  2821  E.  Grand 
Blvd.,  Detroit  11,  Michigan;  $5.75 
for  strip).  Everyone  is  quick  to  state 
that  religious  freedom  is  guaranteed 
by  our  Constitution,  but  not  everyone 
can  actually  explain  how  religious 
freedom  came  to  have  such  significance 
in  the  colonization  and  development 
of  the  United  States.  Some  facts  have 
been  emphasized,  some  have  been  for- 
gotten. This  strip  attempts  to  show 
how    many    groups    entered    into    the 


early  development  of  our  country  and 
how  important  it  became  to  all  of  them 
that  the  principle  of  religious  freedom 
be  protected.  The  strip  is  one  with 
special  value  and  meaning  for  upper 
elementary  and  junior  and  senior  high 
school  students,  to  help  in  developing 
an  attitude  of  tolerance  and  in  acquir- 
ing an  appreciation  of  group  rights 
and  responsibilities. 


Artists  of  Holland 

(2  strips,  color;  produced  by  Ency- 
clopaedia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil 
mette  Ave.,  Wilmette,  111.;  $6  each). 
Learning  to  know  and  appreciate  th« 
work  of  great  artists  is  a  wonderful 
experience  and  provides  opportunity 
for  personal  enjoyment.  In  this  in 
stance  the  producer  has  given  us  ex- 
amples of  the  works  of  Vincent  van 
Gogh  and  Rembrandt.  The  painting? 
shown  were  photographed  in  many  dif 
ferent  museums  and  give  a  broac 
range  of  the  period  in  the  artists'  lives 
Close-ups  allow  opportunity  for  ex 
amination  of  parts  of  paintings  and  ol 
details.  The  strips  are  the  equivaleni 
of  field  trips  to  view  the  actual  can 
vasses;  very  often  such  filmstrips  an 
better  than  field  trips  under  hurriec 
circumstances,  for  the  viewer  can  stud) 
the  strips  at  will  and  under  condition: 
when  they  are  really  used  and  needed 
Pupils  are  able  to  consider  at  greatei 
length  and  to  go  over  the  material  man; 
times.  Of  course  there  is  the  addec 
value  that  many  pupils  will  never  visit 
the  museums  where  these  painting: 
are  hung,  and  are  thus  enabled  to  set 
material  they  would  otherwise  not  see 
Recommended  for  use  in  art  classer

Eskimo  Art 

(2  strips,  black  and  white;  producee^ 
by  the  National  Film  Board  of  Canad: 
and  available  from  Stanley  Bowma) 
Co.,  Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  $3  each).  All  to< 
little  attention  has  been  focused  ot 
the  wonderful  skill  and  highly  devel 
oped  native  art  forms  of  the  Eskimos 
Examination  of  their  figures  carvet 
in  stone,  ivory  and  bone  reveals  grea 
skill,  a  sense  of  humor  and  fine  crafts 
manship.  Eskimo  Carving  provides  u 
with  splendid  examples  of  figures  illus

Argillile  Carvings  concentrates  on  thi

Queen  Charlotte  Islands  from  argillite

for  use  in  art  classes  and  in  socia

AUDIO 


by  Max  II,  Bildersee 


A  siiiiplf  leaflet,  "Nobody  Listens?" 
states  l)hintly  in  conclusion.  "When 
we  get  the  fine  ART  OF  LISTEN- 
ING under  control,  we  will  have  per- 
haps taken  the  single  most  important 
step  in  our  education  —  be  we  children 
or  adults." 

This  leaflet,  published  last  Novem- 
ber by  the  Middletown  (N.  Y.)  Public 
Schools,  is  addressed  to  parents,  teach- 
ers and  children.  It  points  out  that 
although  we  begin  to  teach  the  arts  of 
listening  in  Kindergarten  (Remember, 
"Boys  and  Girls,  this  is  Listening 
Time")  some  colleges  are  holding 
dasses  to  teach  college  students  how 
lo  listen. 

When  do  we  learn  to  listen?  We  are 
born  able  to  hear  and  indeed  our 
total  language  facility  before  reading 
is  Ijegun  depends  not  only  on  the  abil- 
ity to  hear  —  but  also  the  ability  to 
listen.  Parents  listen  anxiously  for  the 
<  liild's  first  words  as  evidence  of  this. 

The  leaflet  underscores  the  fact  of 
(litterence  between  listening  for  pleas- 
ure and  listening  to  learn.  It  also 
points  out  that  sound  can  be  distract- 
ing when  we  do  not  want  to  listen.  It 
charges  all  with  developing  good  listen- 
ing habits  and  good  listening  manners. 

So  —  schools  are  aware  of  the  im- 
portance of  good  listening.  And  they 
are  doing  something  constructive  about 
it.  The  art  of  listening  must  be  devel- 
)ped  lor  all  children,  exceptional  or 
normal.  All  children  and  all  adults 
use  their  ears  from  morning  'til  night. 

.\u  imaginative  teacher  dealing  with 
slow  learners  needing  added  help  in 
the  fundamental  areas  of  reading, 
spelling,  arithmetic  and  aural  compre- 
hension used  the  tape  recorder  to  her 
idvantage  and  to  the  advantage  of  her 
students. 

.\sked  to  describe  what  she  did,  the 
teacher,  Mrs.  Russell  of  Kingston, 
New  York,  said,  "1  sought  to  give  these 
non-readers  information,  practice  in 
listening  and  encouragement  to  learn." 
Her  methods  were  quite  simple,  and 
adaptable  to  any  classroom.  Mrs.  Rus- 
11  acquired  tape  recordings  from 
oadcast  sources,  she  invited  more 
pable  students  to  make  special  tapes 
"or  these  less  gifted  children,  she  pre- 
»ared  special  remedial  tape  recordings 


herself  and  finally,  she  encouraged 
these  special  students  to  prepare  tape 
recordings  which  indicated  progress. 
These,  then,  were  less  gifted  children 
studying  on  their  own! 

Broadcasts  of  stories,  science  talks 
and  music  intended  for  in-school 
listening  were  recorded  and  made 
available  to  the  children.  During  the 
reading  instruction  period,  a  waste  of 
time  for  those  needing  such  deep 
remedial  therapy,  these  youngsters  were 


encouraged  to  devote  their  time  to 
listening. 

The  reported  results  are  most  inter- 
esting. .According  to  Mrs.  Russell, 
"They  (the  children)  were  able  to 
listen  to  many  more  stories  than  a 
teacher  would  ever  have  time  to  read 
to  them.  There  was  a  big  growth  dur- 
ing the  year  in  their  listening  span. 
These  listening  periods  gave  them 
things  to  write  about,  to  create  pic- 
tures about  and  they  had  as  many 
things  to  'tell  about'  as  the  children 
who  were  reading  —  so  there  was  ob- 
servable improvement  in  communica- 
tion." 

One  other  ob.servation  made  by  Mrs. 
Russell  in  this  particular  connection  is 
that  more  tapes  should  be  made  for 
this  particular  purpose.  She  further 
urges  that,  because  a  slow-learner  needs 
everything  geared  down  to  his  pace, 
story  material  for  him  should  be  read

. . .  but  I  know  good  recording  tape 


Audiotape,  the  thinking  record- 
ist's tape,  gives  you  the  full,  rich 
reproduction  so  satisfying  to  the 
happy  audiophile  —  be  he  doctor, 
lawyer  or  Indian  chief.  Because 
behind  every  reel  of  Audiotape 
are  two  decades  of  research  and 
development  in  sound  recording. 
When  you  buy  a  reel  of  Audio- 
tape you're  getting  the  tape  that's 
the  professionals'  choice.  Why? 
For  example,  the  machines  that 
coat  the  oxides  onto  the  base  ma- 
terial are  unique  in  this  field- 
designed  and  built  by  Audio  engi- 
neers who  couldn't  find  commer- 
cial machines  that  met  their  rigid 
specifications.  Then  there's  the 


C-slot  reel— fastest-threading  reel 
ever  developed.  For  that  matter, 
there's  the  oxide  itself  —  blended 
and  combined  with  a  special 
binder  that  eliminates  rub-off. 

There  are  many  more  reasons 
why  the  professionals  insist  on 
Audiotape.  They  know  that  there 
is  only  one  quality  of  Audiotape. 
And  this  single  top  quality  stand- 
ard is  maintained  throughout  each 
reel,  and  from  reel  to  reel— for  all 
eight  types  of  Audiotape.  That's 
what  makes  Audiotape  the  world's 
finest  magnetic  recording  tape. 
For  recording  engineers,  doctors, 
garbage  men,  investment  brokers, 
sculptors . . .  and  plumbers !

very  slowl\.  Special  needs,  such  as 
vocabuLiry  problems,  can  be  antici- 
pated, there  should  be  pauses  in  the 
atory  to  make  meanings  clear,  and  at 
the  end  of  the  presentation  there  can 
be  desirable  and  necessary  repetition 
of  words  to  prod  growing  vocabularies. 

It  seems  to  us  that  parallel  tech- 
nicjues  for  the  presentation  of  more 
diffifult  material  to  advanced  students 
(an  and  should  be  developed.  Tlie 
bright  child,  dawdling  through  dull 
and  repetitive  material,  is  as  seriously 
inconvenienced  as  is  the  slower  child 
unable  to  maintain  pace  with  his  con- 
temporaries. 

Mrs.  Russell  developed  similar  tech- 
niques in  spelling  for  her  charges.  A 
tape  recording  was  made  of  particular 
words  which  the  children  had  not  mas- 
tered. A  "ditto"  sheet  was  made  of 
the  same  list.  For  practice  the  child 
looked  at  the  word  —  listened  to  the 
word  and  then  traced  the  word  on  the 
practice  sheet.  The  second  step  in- 
volved listening  to  the  word,  and 
writing  it  below  the  reproduced  copy. 
Finally,  the  tape  was  used  in  examina- 
tion procedure  and  the  child  was  asked 
to  spell  as  many  words  as  she  could 
on  a  blank  sheet  of  paper.  The  child 
set  the  pace  —  and  ample  opportunity 
was  given  for  review  and  repetition. 

Although  these  children  were  un- 
able to  take  the  regular  standardized 
spelling  tests  for  their  grade  and  con- 
sequently could  not  be  too  definitely 
measured,  certain  progress  was  evident. 
City-wide  survey  tests  were  used,  and 
these  children  showed  growth.  The 
children  were  motivated  to  do  better 
—  they  evinced  an  interest  in  spelling 
and  a  desire  to  improve  their  grades. 
Children  were  permitted  to  test  their 
own  progress  at  any  time  —  by  self 
administered     examinations     via     the

tape  recorder.  Finally,  this  permitted 
the  teacher  to  give  these  children  spe- 
cial review  and  consolidation  of  learn- 
ing experiences  without  taking  time 
from  the  other  students  in  the  class. 

In  arithmetii  lor  these  children  tape 
recordings  were  used  to  provide  drill 
and  examination  in  fundamental  proc- 
esses. A  tape  containing  one  hundred 
practice  computations  (addition,  sub- 
traction and  multiplication)  was  made, 
and  the  listening  children  were  sup- 
plied with  answer  sheets.  Records  were 
kept  of  scores. 

A  second  tape  contained  practice 
and  examination  procedures  together. 
The  tape  gave  a  fact  or  problem  and 
time  was  allowed  for  response.  Then 
the  problem  was  repeated  with  the 
answer  so  that  the  child  had  immedi- 
ate information  of  success  or  failure. 

Practice  tapes  were  used  continu- 
ously —  tapes  offering  both  problem 
and  answer  and  test  tapes  (problem 
only)  were  used  at  approximately  ten- 
week  intervals.  Score  comparison 
showed  improvement.  And  again,  this 
exercise  provided  an  activity  which  an 
individual  or  group  of  children  need- 
ing specific  additional  training  could 
carry  on  without  immediate  teacher 
direction. 

Similarly,    these    specially    prepared 
tapes  were  used  in  literature  apprecia- 
tion  instruction.  The  purpose  was  to  ; 
help  slow  learners  enjoy  simple  poetry 

—  to  permit  them  to  learn  at  their  own 
pace  about  a  poet  —  and  to  increase 
vocabulary. 

The  tape  recording  used  offered  sev- 
eral poems  by  a  particular  poet.  First, 
to  motivate  interest,  there  was  a  short 
biography  emphasizing  simple  stories 
about  the  poet.  Then,  a  poem  was 
read  for  listening  only.  The  poem  was 
re-read  —  with  the  children  encouraged 
to  supply  or  to  repeat  the  rhyme  words. 
And  finally,  the  children  were  encour- 
aged to  read  the  poem  along  with  the 
recording. 

Mrs.  Russell  suggests  that  tapes 
about  particular  poets  be  supplement- 
ed by  tapes  about  some  one  particular 
interest.  These  interests  can  be  sea- 
sonal, involve  holidays  and  children's 
activities  as  well  as  animals  and  the 
variety  of  other  areas  in  which  chil- 
dren's minds  dwell. 

Many  schoolmen  will  welcome  the 
newest   dimension    in   audio   materials 

—  the  lending  library.  More  accurately, 
a  rental  library,  the  LISTENING  LI 
BRARY  (10  East  44th  Street,  New 
York  17),  is  a  new  venture  in  supply- 
ing recordings  for  limited  periods  of 
lime  to  schools  and  individuals  for 
instruction  as  well  as  for  entertain- 
ment.

The  Listening  Library  is  founded  on 
the  premise  that  recorded  literature 
is  as  much  a  part  of  our  heritage  as  is 
printed  literature.  There  is  the  added 
significance  that  the  spoken  word  is  a 
literary  medium  of  communications 
parallel  in  importance  to  the  printed 
word. 

John  V.  Hinshaw,  President  of  this 
new  organization,  says,  "First  writing, 
and  then  printing,  gave  permanence 
to  language  —  man's  only  method  of 
conveying  his  thoughts,  his  feelings 
and  his  past.  But  in  visual  reading  the 
printed  word,  a  whole  dimension  is 
lost.  The  eye,  flashing  across  the  page, 
cannot  'hear'  what  the  author  has  to 
say.  It  cannot  distinguish  the  varied 
and  colorful  meanings  which  auditory 
expression  gives  to  each  word.  Only 
through  speech  is  the  full  depth  of 
literature  attained." 

The  Listening  Library  is  a  mem- 
bership organization  entitling  partici- 
pants to  rent  records  listed  in  the 
catalog,  purchase  rental  records  at  re- 
duced prices  or  purchase  new  records 
and  tapes  at  special  discounts. 

The  State  Education  Department  in 
New  York  has  added  a  new  facet  to 
state-wide  examinations  in  COMPRE- 
HENSIVE MUSIC.  .According  to  Dr. 
Joseph  G.  Saetveit,  Supervisor  of  Music 
Education,  this  entirely  new  music 
examination  was  prepared  and  given 
"with  a  viev\'  of  spotlighting  the  musi- 
cally gifted  and  talented  high  school 
students." 

The  examination  is  given  in  two 
parts.  Part  I  consists  of  the  audition 
of  a  musical  performance.  These  audi- 
tions are  recorded  and  are  submitted

for  review  by  state  oflicials.  The  writ- 
ten portion  of  the  examination,  ac- 
counting for  seventy-five  percent  of 
the  grade,  includes  a  phonograph  re- 
cording to  be  heard  by  the  partici- 
pants. Certain  musical  items  are 
furnished  on  this  disc  recording.  The 
instrument  used  to  play  the  items  was 
an  organ. 

Here  are  new  uses  for  both  disc 
and  tape  recordings  worthy  of  note 
which  may  have  further  significance  in 
a  variety  of  other  examination  proce- 
dures, particularly  in  languages  and 
in  other  facets  of  communications. 
How  else,  for  instance,  to  examine  stu- 
dents over  a  large  area  in  speech  or 
in  oral  composition?  The  implications 
of  this  procedure  for  examinations  are 
tremendous. 


The  first  simple  and  satisfactory  de- 
vice we  have  seen  for  finding  the  right 
spot  on  a  tape  recording  is  the 
D.\TREL  TAPE  INDEX  (156  North 
Franklin  Street,  Hempstead,  N.  Y.). 
Basic  to  the  system  is  a  set  of  num- 
bered tabs  which  are  quickly  and  easily 
applied  to  the  shiny  side  of  the  tape, 
and  which  remain  indefinitely  or  until 
removed.  Made  of  Mylar,  they  last  as 
long  as  the  tape  and  are  not  injured 
or  removed  under  ordinary  usage. 

School  personnel  will  find  many  im- 
mediate and  valuable  uses  for  these 
tabs.  They  can  be  used  to  mark  special 
portions  of  available  tape  recordings 
—  to  indicate  particular  music  needed 
for  instruction,  illustration,  or  other 
purpose.  Here  is  a  boon  to  the  teacher 
who  wants  to  cite  a  particular  phrase

Mrs.  Mary  Lou  Plucge,  Chairman  of  the  Department  op  Speech  and  Dramatic 
Arts  at  Adelphi  College  in  New  York,  finds  her  Norelco  'Continental'  tape 
recorder  an  essential  tool  in  speech  instruction.  Here  Mrs.  Plugge  illustrates,  to 
her  lovely  student  Carol  Samisch,  the  proper  waij  to  produce  a  sound.  MiSS 
Samisch,  in  turn,  repeats  the  sound  iiito  the  tape  recorder  so  that  she  may  listen 
to  an  accurate  reproduction  of  her  oivn  voice  and  compare  it.  Says  Mrs.  Plugge, 
"My  Norelco  tape  recorder  is  valuable  to  me  for  a  number  of  7'easons.  There  is 
an  impressive  tone  quality  in  its  reproduction  of  sound.  Concomitant  with  this  is 
the  aid  of  the  mechanical  pause  button  which  allows  me  to  stop  to  analyze  progress 
without  turning  off  the  machine.  The  control  over  recording  is  such  that  the  possi- 
bility of  accidental  erasure  is  completely  eliminated."  The  NORELCO  'Continental' 
is  a  product  of  North  American  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High  Fidelity  Products  Division, 
Dept.  1S4,  230  Duffy  Avenue,  Hicksville,  Long  Island,  New  York. 


in  a  recording  —  accurately,  smoothly 
and  quickly,  for  she  can  use  this  index 
system  without  fear. 

We  hope  this  will  lead  to  something 
quite  different,  too.  Many  audiovisual- 
ists  make  extensive  use  of  visual  illus- 
trations in  the  course  of  talks.  They 
supply  the  audio.  Now,  with  this  in- 
dexing system,  they  will  be  able  to 
pre-select  audio  illustrations  on  tape, 
spot  them  simply  and  accurately  and 
use  them  effectively  for  group  presenta- 
tion. 

The  implications  for  instructors  of 
this  new  indexing  system  are  many.  In 
language  laboratories  they  will  have 
application  in  the  selection  of  ma- 
terials to  be  heard  by  students.  Simi- 
larly, the  English  teacher  using  the 
same  equipment  can  immediately  offer 
a  particular  poem,  or  soliloquy,  or 
other  excerpt  from  longer  recording. 
The  speech  teacher  has  at  her  hand 
immediate  reference  to  particular  stu- 
dents who  make  recordings.  No  longer 
must  she  "change  reels"  for  each  stu- 
dent because  she  can  now  quickly 
apply  the  tab  (it  can  be  done  while 
the  tape  is  moving,  it  is  just  that  sim- 
ple!), make  a  note  of  number  opposite 
the   name  of  the  student  and  record. 

Are  you  using  the  recorder  in  your 
teacher    training    program?    Are    you 


asking  students  to  record  whole  classes? 
Then,  in  rehearing  you  can  "tab"  a 
spot  which  you  want  to  review.  Thus 
the  practice  teacher  can  rehear  her 
own  performance  in  the  classroom  — 
and  make  immediate  notation  of  por- 
tions of  the  lesson  which  should  be 
heard  by  the  supervisor.  Similarly,  the 
supervisor  upon  hearing  the  record- 
ing can  quickly  and  easily  "spot"  the 
portions  of  the  lesson  which  should  be 
reviewed  with  the  student  teacher. 

Are  you  keeping  more  than  one 
title  on  a  single  roll  of  tape?  The 
applications  here  are  obvious.  Do  you 
want  to  assign  individual  or  small 
group  listening  to  a  particular  portion 
of  the  tape  recording?  No  longer  do 
you  fumble  with  the  machine  trying 
to  find  the  right  spot  —  but  rather  you 
can  assign  listening  "beginning  with 
tab  number  3  and  continuing  until 
you  reach  tab  number  b."  And,  to 
make  things  still  easier  and  still  more 
practical,  the  tabs  are  color  codedl

Entitled  "Teaching  Games,  "this  par- 
ticular recording  conies  complete  with 
assorted  visual  materials  which  make 
learning  fun.  In  addition  to  the  record 
there  are  .sets  of  iiicturcs  to  illustrate 
the  recording  and  to  be  used  to  elicit 
oral  responses  from  the  children.  Also 
includeci  are  essential  sponge-like  tri- 
dimensional models.  These  are  made 
of  urethane  plastic  which  is  l)oth  light 
and  durable.  It  is  also  non-llammable

are  in  a  variety  of  colors. 

The  song  games  included  in  this 
exceptional  total  audiovisual  teaching 
material  are  "I  Can  Dress  .\fyself," 
"Safety,"  "Left -Right  Directions," 
"Colors,"  "Days  of  the  School  Week" 
and  "Shapes."  The  tri-dimensional  and 
geometric  shapes  contribute  the  essen- 
tial visual  connotations  to  the  words. 

The  record  contains  stories,  three 
of  which  particularly  are  designed  to  ' 
challenge  the  imagination  of  the  child 
and  to  develop  imagery.  These  are  told 
entirely  in  soinid  effects  and  are  sub- 
ject to  the  interpretation  of  the  lis- 
tener. They  are  based  on  typical  child- 
hood experiences  including  an  outing 
at  the  lake,  a  summer  storm  and  a 
circus  parade. 

TEACHING  GAMES  is  accom- 
panied by  an  exceptionally  complete 
manual  for  the  teacher.  This  is  NOT 
designed  to  do  other  than  suggest  pos- 
sible applications  of  these  teaching 
materials  in  the  lowest  grades.  The 
music  recorded  is  entirely  original  and 
is  suited  to  the  listening  abilities  of 
the  youngest  children.  All  in  all  —  this 
is  an  exceptional  audiovisual  teaching 
packet. 

Things  are  happening  in  the 
AUDIO  of  audiovisual  education.  City 
school  systems  are  emphasizing  listen- 
ing, language  laboratory  techniques 
are  used  for  exceptional  children, 
rental  services  for  disc  recordings  are 
being  established,  tape  index  tech- 
niques are  developed  and,  finally,  a 
whole  audiovisual  unit  for  the  lowest 
grades  designed  to  appeal  to  sight, 
sound  and  touch  is  offered. 

,\nd  more  will  happen.  Recording 
demonstrations  are  being  organized  on 
an  area  basis.  The  audio  of  audio- 
visual education  is  enlarging  its  sphere 
of  action  as  teachers  and  administra- 
tors recognize  that  although,  as  Mark 
Sullivan  said,  "A  picture  can  tell 
more  than  a  page  of  text"  (OUR 
TIMES,  Volume  I,  Page  399)  a  page 
of  text  can  conjure  a  thousand  pic- 
tures and  the  mind  oriented  to  audio, 
practiced  in  listening,  sees  the  word, 
hears  the  meanings  and  thereby  creates 
the  audiovisual  image  essential  to 
learning.

FILM  EVALUATIONS 


by  L.  C.   Larson  and  Carolyn  Guss 


Give  Them  a  Chance

versity Park,  Pennsylvania)  12  minutes, 
16inni,  sound,  blark  and  white,  1957.

Description 

This  film  surveys  the  curriculum  ex- 
periences of  mentally  retarded  pupils 
and  shows  how  the  children  learn  and 
react  in  a  setting  which  is  adapted 
to  their  needs.  It  explains  the  objec- 
tives of  the  program  for  retarded  chil- 
dren and  points  up  the  values  inherent 
in  the  types  of  activities  which  are 
afforded  these  pupils.  The  role  played 
by  a  competent  and  understanding 
teacher  is  shown  throughout  the  film 
by  subtle  implication.  The  thesis  of 
the  film  —  that  mentally  retarded  chil- 
dren can  succeed  if  given  a  chance  — 
is   developed. 

As  the  film  opens  a  boy  comes  into 
a  classroom  marked  "Children's  Work- 
shop." Upon  following  him  inside  one 
sees  nothing  unusual  about  this  par- 
ticular classroom  and  its  occupants, 
but  the  narrator  explains  that  these 
are  mentally  retarded  children  who 
must  eventually  become  self-supporting 
citizens  in  spite  of  their  handicap. 
Their  chronological  ages  range  from 
seven  to  thirteen  years  while  their 
mental  ages  range  from  three  to  nine 
years.  These  pupils  require  much 
longer  to  learn  what  other  children 
achieve  in  a  few  years. 

The  group  and  the  teacher  are 
shown  as  they  prepare  to  study  num- 
ber work.  The  children  group  them- 
selves into  study  groups  and  begin  to 
work  with  visual  and  manipulative 
materials  in  learning  to  tell  time  with 
a  mock  clock  and  to  count  with  the 
aid  of  a  flannel  board.  Children  help 
one  another  while  the  teacher  gives 
individual  attention  and  encourage- 
ment to  a  child  who  is  learning  the 
concept  "8  +  2"  by  manipulating  sticks. 
The  narrator  explains  that  most  of  the 
learning  at  this  level  is  by  association. 

In  a  reading  group,  children  are 
using  written  and  pictorial  flash  cards 
at  a  table  while  they  make  a  game  of 
word-recognition.  At  another  level,  a 
girl  volunteers  to  read  aloud  to  her 
class.  The  narrator  points  up  the 
courage  that  is  required  to  perform 
such  a  task,  while  the  girl  is  shown  as 
she  reads,  occasionally  glancing  around 
to  draw  psychological  support  from 
her  understanding  teacher. 


C^ontinuing  the  survey  of  the  cur- 
riculum experiences,  the  film  shows 
l)oys  deeply  absorbed  in  their  work 
and  obviously  receiving  pleasure  in 
their  accomplishments.  During  the  art 
perioti,  attention  is  focused  on  a  little 
girl  as  she  paints  with  broad  sweeping 
brush  strokes  of  unrelated  colors,  while 
she  curiously  watches  the  unfolding 
and    obliterations    of    the    shapes    and 


forms  of  her  own  creation.  She  is  be- 
ginning her  acquaintance  with  art 
materials  and  with  creativity  that  here- 
tofore held  no  interest  for  her.  Views 
of  girls  sewing  show  that  they  are  re- 
laxed but  attentive  as  they  practice 
manual  and  social  skills.  Meanwhile 
others  are  working  individually  on 
their  own  special  projects,  and  the 
teacher  is  helping  another  girl  on   a 


partially  darkened

We're  fond  of  this  plioto  that  we 
took  in  one  of  our  familial  moments 
and  thought  you  miglit  like  it  too. 


Ucia»iuii:  addition  ut  the  tenth 
baby  to  the  films  that  we  have  been 
making  to  correlate  witti  the  text 
series,  Healh  Elementary  Science. 

Speaking  of  producing  correlated 
films,  we  tlon't  know  whether  to  weep 
quietly  or  giggle.  Every  producer  is  a 
producer  of  films  correlated  with 
Healh  Elementary  Science,  or  so  it 
seems  from  their  literature.  No  matter 
if  Our  Misunderstood  Friend,  the 
Weatherman  was  produced  seven  years 
before  the  Schneiders  wrote  that  chap- 
ter on  weather,  it  Correlates. 

What's  the  phrase?  Sic  semper 
semantics? 

We  keep  thinking  we  should  jump 
up  and  down  with  small  cries: 
"absolutely  genuine  .  .  .  collaboration 
with  authors  and  publisher  .  .  .  100% 
wool  ...  no  preservatives  added  .  .  ." 
Maybe  we  would  be  consoled  if.  like 
the  others,  we  could  turn  around  and 
advertise  that  our  films  are  really  also 
correlated  with  the  Ginn  series.  Can't 
do  that.   100%   wool,  you  know. 

We've  been  rambling  about  in  this 
column  for  six  months  now,  obedient 
to  the  .\merican  folk  lore  that  says 
we  must  advertise.  We  happen  to  hate 
advertising,  hence  our  relaxed  ap- 
proach. But  do  others  share  our 
feelings  sufficiently  to  have  read  this 
column  this  far?  We  don't  know  but 
we're  going  to  find  out.  We  have  24 
slightly  used  prints  of  one  reel  sub- 
jects that  we  are  going  to  give  away 
to  the  first  24  directors  of  established 
A-V  libraries  who  write  to  us.  Titles:

Wear.  Pipes  in  the  House,  Wonders

tell  us  the  order  of  your  choice. 
No  box  tops.  You  can  write  us  a  25

difficult  task. 

During  a  period  when  her  help  is 
not  needed  the  teacher  is  shown  at  her 
desk  keenly  observing  her  pupils  and 
recording  notes  for  future  reference. 
Her  attitude  exemplifies  her  devotion 
and  concern  for  the  pupils  and  their 
development. 

After  a  field  trip,  which  is  not 
shown,  the  pupils  prepare  their  sum- 
maries as  they  are  individually  inclined 
to  express  themselves.  A  boy  who  is 
larger  than  his  classmates  is  shown  as 
he  experiences  keen  fa.scination  in  the 
discovery  that  he,  too,  can  make  a 
scrapbook  of  artistic  creation. 

Within  the  sequence  of  scenes,  chil- 
dren show  their  reactions  in  various 
ways.  Some  work  deliberately,  some 
with  the  joy  of  discovery,  some  observe 
and  strain  for  meaningfulness,  and  yet 
others  seem  to  plod  along  according  to 
plan.  Group  planning  and  participa- 
tion are  inherent  in  many  of  the  expe- 
riences —  the  class  decided  to  decorate 
the  covers  of  their  scrapbooks  with 
spatter-paint  designs,  and  they  are 
shown  as  they  enthusiastically  engage 
in  the  work  of  making  their  own  dis- 
tinctive spatter  patterns. 

The  closing  scene  shows  the  teacher 
and  the  class  enjoying  singing  as  they 
use  gestures  to  interpret  words.  The 
camera  pans  the  group  as  the  narrator 
points  out  the  values  of  such  activity 
and  the  practice  of  tolerating  indi- 
vidual differences  and  differential 
standards  of  performance  in  these 
kinds  of  activities  in  order  to  encour- 
age participation  and  build  confidence 
of  withdrawn  children. 

Appraisal 

Give  Them  a  Chance  effectively 
pleads  the  case  for  special  education 
of  mentally  retarded  children.  It  is 
sympathetic  in  its  treatment  but  not 
unduly  sentimental.  Teachers-in-train- 
ing and  teachers  will  find  this  film 
useful  in  focusing  their  attention  on 
the  problems  of  slow  learners.  Parents 
can  gain  some  idea  of  the  kinds  of 
experiences  that  are  provided  children 
who  can  not  successfully  adjust  to  the 
ordinary  classroom  procedures. 

The  technical  quality  of  this  film  is 
not  excellent,  but  its  treatment  of  the 
subject  matter  compensates  for  this 
inadequacy.  All  scenes  are  photo- 
graphed as  ordinary  action  shots,  and 
some  of  its  close-ups  are  very  effective 
in  portraying  emotional  reactions  of 
individual  pupils.

Description 

This  film  shows  that  molds  are  both 
destructive  and  beneficial  to  man.  It 
uses  cinephotomicrography,  some  ol 
which  is  time  lapse,  to  show  various 
phases  in  the  life  cycle  of  molds. 

Opening  drawings  depict  the  1845 
ruination  of  the  potato  crop  in  Ireland 
followed  by  the  famine  in  which  a 
million  died  and  a  million  and  a  half 
Hed  — a  disaster  caused  by  tiny  molds. 

Next,  the  film  tells  that  today  wt 
know  much  more  about  molds  and  rec- 
ognize a  hundred  thousand  species 
ranging  from  the  tiny  Peiiicillium  to 
the  large  mushroom.  It  then  shows,  by 
time -lapse  photography,  mushrooms 
pushing  through  the  ground  and  grow- 
ing to  full  size  as  the  narrator  tells 
that  molds  lack  chlorophyll  and  thus 
cannot  manufacture  their  own  food. 

The  next  scenes  picture  the  under- 
ground "white  threads"  of  the  mush- 
room then  by  time-lapse  photographv 
show  the  bread  mold  hyphae  as  it 
grows  and  advances  eating  a  pathway 
through  the  food.  Speeded-up  photog- 
raphy shows  the  spores  bursting,  the 
growing  hyphae  emerging  and  the  de- 
velopment of  the  stalks  with  the  spore 
containing  sacs  at  their  tips. 

The  film  then  pictures  the  destruc- 
tion of  grapevines  in  France  by  the 
powdery  mildew  and  shows  that  the 
asexual  spores  of  the  powdery  mildexv 
are  formed  in  chains  rather  than  in 
sacs:  It  continues  by  telling  that  molds 
can  reproduce  very  rapidly,  and  thus, 
in  a  short  time,  can  completely  dev- 
astate such  hosts  as  grapevines  and 
potato  leaves. 

The  next  sequence  begins  by  ex- 
plaining that  the  spore  .sacs  of  the 
potato  blight  need  to  be  flooded  with 
cold  water  before  the  spores  can  ger- 
minate. It  shows  the  emergence  of 
these  spores  from  their  sacs  and  pic- 
tures another  type  of  spore  developed 
from  a  sexual  union  and  highly  resist 
ant  to  the  rigors  of  winter  and  drought. 

The  film  then  shows  by  cinephoto- 
micrography the  details  of  the  sexual 
process  in  molds.  It  shows  the  hyphae 
of  Sex  A  growing  toward  a  spore  of 
Sex  B,  surrounding  it,  and  finally 
fusing  with  it.  The  narartor  points  out 
that  the  union  results  in  spores  that 
have  the  characteristics  of  the  two  par- 
ents. The  film  then  shows  the  spores 
germinating  and  pictures  the  mat 
formed  bv  the  rapid  growth  of  many 
hyphae. 

Next,  the  film  shows  that  molds  not 
only  devastate  such  plants  as  elm  trees, 
rose  bushes,  grass,  wheat,  corn,  and 
rye  but  some  molds  also  kill  animals 
for  food.  It  pictures  the  coiled  hyphae

of  a  mold  closing  around  a  nematode 
which  is  then  digested  and  absorbed 
into  the  mold. 

The  film  continues  by  showing  tlie 
protoplasm  streaming  within  the 
hyphae  as  the  narrator  tells  that  this 
is  the  delightful  process  of  life  itself 
—  a  living  test  tube.  The  hyphae  send 
out  enzymes  which  change  the  food 
into  chemicals  that  the  mold  can  ab- 
sorb and  use  for  its  growth  and  devel- 
opment. The  film  pictures  the  molds 
from  which  we  get  penicillin  and 
terramycin  and  explains  that  the  chem- 
icals coming  from  the  hyphae  are  used 
in  the  production  of  antibiotics.  Draw- 
ing and  live-action  photography  show 
briefly  the  large  scale  commercial  pro- 
duction of  antibiotics. 

That  many  medicines  are  made  from 
molds  including  those  used  to  combat 
pneumonia,  meningitis,  tuberculosis, 
syphilis  and  tracoma  is  indicated  as  a 
use  of  molds.  .Another  use  for  molds 
is  in  genetic  research.  Certain  traits  of 
molds  can  be  examined  and  combined 
according  to  a  plan  and  the  individual 
spores  can  be  isolated  and  examined 
under  a  microscope,  .\nother  advan- 
tage of  using  molds  in  research  is  that 
they  produce  many  generations  in  a 
few  hours. 

The  film  concludes  with  the  thought 
that  molds  are  destructive  but  they  are 
also  beneficial  to  mankind  and  they 
are  helping  scientists  to  learn  more 
about  the  nature  of  life  itself. 


.Appraisal 

This  film  elevates  the  "lowly"  mold 
to  its  rightful  position  of  importance 
as  a  friend  and  foe  of  mankind.  The 
opening  scenes  of  destruction  and  fam- 
ine dramatically  point  up  the  economic 
importance  of  the  seemingly  unim- 
portant, commonplace,  mold.  Later 
scenes,  however,  show  that  molds  are 
beneficial  to  mankind  as  well  as  de- 
structive and  the  beauty  of  the  "re- 
pulsive" mold  is  captured  by  the 
excellent  time-lapse  cinephotomicrog- 
raphy.  The  film  presents  important 
facts  and  principles  in  a  fascinating 
and  stimulating  manner:  spores  emerge 
from  their  sacs  to  germinate  and  be- 
come a  tangled  web  of  hyphae;  the 
coiled  hyphae  of  a  mold  capture  a 
nematode;  hyphae  and  spore  unite  in 
a  primitive  sexual  union.  This  film 
will  have  a  wide  age  range  of  audi- 
ences. It  will  be  useful  in  junior  high 
and  senior  high  general  science  and 
biology  classes  and  will  also  be  a  use- 
ful teaching  tool  in  college  biology, 
botany,  and  microbiology  classes.  Even 
those  who  have  had  little  or  no  bio- 
logical science  background  will  find 
this  film  both  exciting  and  informative.

Description 

This  film  depicts  the  history  and 
culture  of  the  Middle  East  area  from 
antiquity  to  the  present  resurgence  of 
nationalism  and  unrest.  Its  emphasis  is 
on  the  anthropological  approach  as  a 
key  to  the  understanding  of  the  varied 
and  complex  issues  involved  in  this 
troubled  area.  Four  main  problems  are 
presented  and  analyzed:  the  place  of 
minorities,  the  area's  agricultural  need 
and  potential,  the  rise  and  impact  of 
western  technology  and  industry,  and. 
lastly,  the  role  of  education. 

The  first  section  portrays  in  graphic 
detail  the  whole  Tigris  -  Euphrates  — 
Fertile  Crescent  panorama  —  citing  the 
successive  influences  of  the  Semites, 
the  Romans,  the  Moslems,  and  the 
Christians.  The  film  also  describes  the 
.Armenians,  the  Kurds,  the  contempo- 
rary Israeli,  the  Lebanese  —  four  dis- 
tinct ethnic  groups,  each  treated  in 
terms  of  its  origins,  history,  culture, 
language  and  of  its  influence  upon  the 
current  Middle  East  complex. 

The  next  sequence  tackles  the  prob- 
lem of  agriculture,  with  emphasis  on 
the  ubiquitous  need  of  adequate  water 
and  the  technology  needed  to  alleviate

(his  age-old  dilemma.  Furthermore,  the 
urgency  for  land  reform  is  reviewed 
and  the  film  stresses  the  need  for  abol- 
ishing the  old  feudalistic  system  before 
the  area  can  fully  realize  its  true  po- 
tential. Competition  between  the 
United  States  and  the  Soviet  Union  in 
offering  technological  assistance  is 
sharply  stressed,  and  the  film  warns 
that  this  aspect  of  the  cold  war  must 
not  be  underestimated  or  ignored. 

The  third  crucial  area  delineated  by 
the  film  is  polarized  around  the  prob- 
lems arising  from  the  impact  of  the 
industrial  revolution  and  modern  tech- 
nology. Two  cjuestions  are  raised:  how 
can  this  most  strategic  and  historic 
area  be  industrialized  without  upset- 
ting the  indigenous  customs  and  mores, 
and  how  can  this  be  achieved  without 
the  debilitating  and  corrosive  features 
of  westernization? 

The  brief  final  sequence  is  concerned 
with  the  necessity  of  education  in  help- 
ing ameliorate  the  backwardness  of 
these  dynamic  Middle  East  people. 

Appraisal 

Few  subjects  are  more  complex  and 
more  inexhaustible  than  that  of  this 
film.  Its  main  purpose,  to  acquaint  the 
viewer  with  the  historical  and  anthro- 
pological backgrounds  of  the  Middle 
East  is  well  realized.  Thus  the  film 
makes  a  valuable  contribution  to  sen- 
ior high  and  adult  education  levels. 
Particularly  well  drawn  out  is  the 
present  Arab  dream  of  an  Arab  world 
stemming  from  the  Islamic  empire  of 
the  Middle  Ages  and  the  unifying  fac- 
tors of  a  common  culture,  language, 
and  religion.  In  contrast,  the  sequence 
on  the  educational  needs  of  the  Middle 
East  is  most  inadequately  developed. 
Perhaps  this  lack,  as  well  as  the  too 
briefly  exposed  maps,  will  be  cared  for 
in  the  reading  and  discussion  which 
surely  must  follow  the  showing  of  this 
well-conceived  and  colorful  film.

The  film  title  fades  away  to  a  notice 
on  the  chalkboard  of  a  high  school 
classroom  stating  that  the  Press  Club 
will  meet  at  three  o'clock  when  Miss 
Alton  will  announce  the  new  editor- 
in-chief  of  the  "Southwest  High  Ban- 
ner." As  the  students  begin  to  gather 
they  speculate  about  who  will  be 
chosen.  The  most  likely  prospect  is 
Bob  Stevens,  who  soon  has  a  cluster  of 
friends  around  him  extending  con- 
gratulations in  advance.  Ben  Curtis 
appears  in  the  doorway  and  immedi- 
ately the  conversation  turns  to  him. 
No  one  would  choose  him  as  editor 
although  Betty  admits  he  makes  good 
grades  and  writes  well.  Ernie,  a  good- 
natured,  likeable  extrovert,  is  not  so 
sure,  though,  that  he  wouldn't  make 
a  good  editor.  In  spite  of  others'  opin- 
ions he  maintains  that  Ben  Curtis  is 
"nobody's  fool"  and  "has  real  talent." 
Bob  wonders  that  Ben  isn't  ashamed 
to  associate  with  "people  like  them- 
selves." His  clothes  are  so  poor,  he  is 
so  awkward,  and  he  comes  from  such 
a  poor  family.  In  his  thoughts  he 
remembers  Ben's  mother  as  a  "lousy 
worker"  when  she  used  to  do  house- 
cleaning  for  his  mother  and  Ben's 
father  as  never  holding  a  job  longer 
than  "to  buy  a  bottle." 

The  entrance  of  Miss  Alton  brings 
the  speculation  to  a  climax.  Bob  wants 
the  job  and  wants  it  badly.  As  Miss 
Alton  talks  he  reviews  the  qualifica- 
tions of  those  who  might  be  chosen 
and  confidently  eliminates  all  others 
except  himself.  The  appointment  of 
Ben  Curtis  instead  is  a  bombshell,  an 
incredible  decision  based  on  poor 
judgment. 

Not  only  is  Bob  surprised  at  the 
turn  of  events.  Ben  Curtis  is  even 
more  astonished.  A  flashback  to  the 
time  he  enters  the  meeting  reveals  the 
reasons  for  his  reaction.  True,  his 
clothes  are  old  and  worn,  not  new 
and  "sharp"  like  those  of  his  fellow- 
students.  He  is  aware  of  the  difference 
between  himself  and  the  others.  As  he 
stands  uncertainly  leaning  against  the 
door  he  surmises  that  the  others  are 
laughing  at  him.  He  does  wish  they 
liked  him.  Perhaps  he  should  just 
go  over  and  say  something  friendly  — 
but  no!  That  Ernie  Davis  would  prob- 
ably just  make  fun  of  him.  One  stu-

lent  approaches  and  suggests  that  it 
nay  be  he  —  Ben  —  who  will  be  named 
o  the  coveted  position.  In  Ben's  mind 
Jlis  student  also  is  making  fun  of  him. 
Se  seats  himself  as  Miss  Alton  enters 
ind  begins  to  speak.  Ben  is  sure  Bob 
vill  be  selected  and  hopes  that  Bob 
will  give  him  a  chance  —  it  wouldn't 
lave  to  be  a  very  big  job.  Then,  some- 
low,  there  is  applause  and  Miss  Alton 
s  asking  him  if  he  will  come  up  and 
ake  over.  Slowly  gathering  courage  he 
umbles  his  way  to  the  front  and  begins 
o  assert  himself  in  the  new  role  of  a 
eadcr. 

Miss  .\lton  stands  quietly  to  one 
ide.  Through  a  second  flashback  to 
ler  entrance  we  glimpse  her  viewpoint 
)f  Ben  and  his  capabilities.  This  has 
5een  a  difficult  decision.  She  pauses  a 
noment  and  surveys  the  situation.  It 
s  apparent  that  Bob  expects  the  ap- 
Dointment,  yet  Ben  Curtis  is  the  best 
jerson  for  the  task.  Not  only  is  he 
ntelligent  and  an  expressive  writer 
Jut  he  takes  his  work  seriously.  .Ad- 
Iressing  the  group  she  explains  that 
ince  she  was  asked  to  make  the  deci- 
ion  she  assumed  they  wanted  it  made 
)n  the  basis  of  merit  rather  than  on 
jersonality  only.  She  hopes  her  choice 
vill  meet  with  their  approval,  and  to 
;nd  the  suspense  she  presents  the  new 


editor-in-chief  of  the  "Southwest  High 
Banner,"  Ben  Curtis,  asking  him  to 
come  and  take  over  the  rest  of  the 
meeting.  As  she  steps  aside  she  won- 
ders again  if  her  decision  was  right. 
She  is  certain  that  Ben  is  qualified  but 
will  he  associate  with  the  other  stu- 
dents and  allow  them  to  get  to  know 
and  like  him?  Perhaps  this  new  role 
will  be  the  very  thing  that  will  help 
him. 

The  narrator  ends  the  film  with 
some  pertinent  remarks  while  a  series 
of  opposite  personalities  is  shown  — 
the  physically  attractive  and  the  physi- 
cally unattractive;  the  shy  one  and 
the  aggressive  one;  the  soft-spoken 
individual  and  the  "loud-mouth."  It  is 
pointed  out  that  all  of  us  have  ideas 
about  people  who  appear  different 
than  our  friends,  and  several  questions 
are  posed.  Do  you  really  understand 
Ben  and  the  reasons  for  what  he  does? 
What  about  his  attitudes  toward  the 
others?  Was  he  always  correct  in  his 
judgments  of  them?  What  about  Miss 
Alton's  decision?  Did  she  do  the  right 
thing? 

Appraisal 

The  best  use  of  this  film  is  probably 
in  guidance  on  the  junior  and  senior 
high  school  level  (1)  to  set  students 
thinking  about  why  people  do  things 


and  (2)  to  promote  tolerance  of  others' 
behavior.  It  may,  however,  also  be 
helpful  in  college  education  and  coun- 
seling classes  (1)  to  demonstrate  a  situ- 
ation which  may  be  similar  to  one 
encountered  in  the  field  and  (2)  to 
show  prospective  teachers  their  respon- 
sibility to  the  "whole  student"  in  cer- 
tain decisions  which  sometimes  need 
to  be  made.  Constructed  to  stimulate 
discussion,  a  simple  situation  is  devel- 
oped to  point  up  the  problem  but  not 
to  solve  it.  One  evaluator  feels  that 
the  repetition  of  the  key  scene  from 
three  points  of  view  is  boring,  but  the 
other  evaluators  feel  that  the  setting 
will  catch  attention  and  that  the  treat- 
ment of  the  characters  is  objective  and 
will  encourage  understanding  rather 
than  antagonism.  The  teacher  may  find 
varied  uses  such  as  prior  to  school  elec- 
tions since  broad  problems  are  implied 
like  (1)  the  popularity  with  the  group 
vs.  the  ability  to  perform  a  task  com- 
petently; (2)  the  existence  of  class 
distinctions  and  discrimination  in  pub- 
lic schools;  (3)  the  bases  of  acceptance 
into  a  group  based  on  both  family 
background  and  personal  character- 
istics; and  (4)  the  reasons  for  misun- 
derstanding others  are  both  personal 
and  group  oriented.

A  Study  In  Perspective 

by  LeRoy  Ford 

Production  Supervisor,  Audio-Visual  Aids 
Department,  Education  Division,  Sunday 
School  Board,  Southern  Baptist  Conven- 
tion 

"Linear  perspective"  is  defined  as 
"perspective  by  which  a  true  picture 
is  produced  .  .  .  from  the  actual  dimen- 
sion of  the  object.  .  .  ."  Let's  take  a 
look  at  the  true  picture  and  actual 
dimension  of  our  progress  in  util- 
ization of  audiovisuals  in  religious 
education.  Here's  the  picture  as  it 
appears  after  a  study  of  film  utili- 
zation   in    146    churches. 

1.  A  motion  picture  is  used  in 
one  class  session  out  of  every  2,103 
for  young  people  and  adults.  (Fig- 
ure 1)  The  146  churches  surveyed 
represented  3,681  classes.  In  one 
month's  time,  14,724  class  sessions 
were  held.  .Motion  pictures  were 
used  a  total  of  7  times.  Now,  if  a 
teacher  can  stick  it  out  for  40  years,

and   adults.    Filmstrips    were    used    04

times   in    the    14,724   sessions. 

3.  Only  one  church  in  146  (.7%) 
uses  films  oftener  in  the  classroom 
than  any  other  place. 

4.  Seventy-two  percent  of  the 
churches  used  films  more  in  assembly 
periods  than  any  other  place.  Thir- 
teen percent  used  them  more  in  mid- 
week meetings;  5  percent  used  them 
in  Men's  meetings;  5  percent  in  Wo- 
men's meetings;  4  percent  in  other 
meetings  and  less  than  one  per- 
cent  in    the   classroom.   (Figure   2) 

5.  The  larger  the  church  the  greater 
the  feeling  that  available  films  are 
generally  too  long  for  effective  use. 
Fifty-two  percent  of  the  churches 
considered  the  films  too  long.  Other 
opinions  are  shown  in  Figure  3. 
Thirty-five     percent    of    all     churches

6.  Thirty-two  of  146  churches  d 
not  own  a  motion  picture  projecto 
108  owned  only  one;  5  owned  2.  Not 
owned    3    projectors. 

7.  Twenty-four  of  the  146  church 
did  not  own  a  filmstrip  projecto 
87  owned  one;  9  owned  3;  no  chun 
owned  over  3. 

This  study  was  made  from  repor 
from  churches  of  all  sizes.  The  nur 
ber  and  size  of  the  churches  is  show 
in  the  following  table:

Here   are   the   conclusions  reachet 

1.  Present  films  seem  to  be  dcsigne 
for  everything  but  the  classrooms— yt 
the  class  period  is  the  core  of  on 
teaching   program. 

2.  The  study  shows  a  trend  in  r«l 
ligious  education  toward  smaller 
classes —  enrollment  wise.  It  is  nc 
uncommon  in  the  Southern  Baptij

3.  Shorter  films  —  (8  to  10  minutes  or 
ess)  are  needed.  For  example,  20  niin- 
tes  is  the  generally  accepted  length 
if  a  department  assembly  program. 
f  these  are  true  worship  periods, 
he  programs  are  to  produce  aware- 
less  of  God,  contemplation,  convic- 
ion,  resolution,  decision,  and  power 
()  act.  It  is  generally  accepted  that 
;roup  participation  through  singing, 
iraver.  and  scripture  reading,  is  an 
ntcgral  part  of  worship.  A  20  min- 
lie  fdm  in  a  20  minute  program 
eaves  no  minutes  for  other  activities. 
The  class  periods  are  generally 
roimd  45  minutes  in  length.  A  20  or 
0  minute  film,  plus  administrative  ac- 


tivities,    leaves     little     time     for     the 
teacher  to  he  before  his  class. 


Home  and  Family 

How  can  a  family  get  the  job  of 
group-living  done  so  that  every  one 
grows  and  develops  while  contributing 
to  the  community  of  satisfactions  all  of 
of  them  should  experience? 

The  68-frame  color  and  sound  film- 
strip.  As  Orif  Family,  searches  for  some 
of  the  answers.  It  finds  the  family 
council  helpful.  Not  the  frozen  and 
rigid  type,  but  the  flexible,  informal 
variety.  It  finds  that  crises,  little  and 
big,  are  best  met  when  they  arise,  and 
it  suggests  that  almost  any  family  can 
have  some  time  during  the  week  for 
activity  as  a  family  if  it  will  try. 

I  liked  this  filmstrip.  It  has  natural- 
ness. The  commentary  has  a  bit  of 
sparkle.  It  has  no  trucking  with  the 
fancy  jargon  of  the  professionals.  Its 
solutions  seem  reasonable  and  accept- 
able. This  family  .seems  to  be  wring- 
ing quite  a  bit  of  juice  out  of  the  lem- 
on of  life. 

What  bothers  me  is  that  many  peo- 
ple who  should  see  it  will  not.  It  be- 
longs in  the  school  PTA  meeting;  in 
the  church  family  night  program;   be- 


fore the  young  couples  club  of  the 
church:  and  on  the  agenda  of  the 
youth  fellowship.  Yes,  young  people 
should  see  it.  It  will  hold  the  mirror 
up  to  them,  and  not  distort  what  they 
see.  It  can  stimulate  them  to  profitable 
discussion  on  just  what  it  is  that  they 
want  from  their  homes  and  are  willing 
to  put  into  them  as  well. 

If  given  a  content  and  setting,  and 
then  followed  by  some  kind  of  discus- 
sion, it  is  highly  recommended.  From 
Church  of  the  Brethren,  Elgin,  111.

and  proclaimed  to  be  sacred.  The  com- 
posite nature  of  the  O.T.  is  touched  in 
very  brief  explanations  of  how  the  "J", 
"E",  and  "D"  documents  came  about. 

This  is  a  good  and  useful  resource 
for  young  people  and  adults.  It  can 
be  used  with  profit  in  college  and  sem- 
inary courses.  It  greatest  use  will  be 
with  our  church  school  teachers.  It 
can  orient  them  so  their  teaching  will 
be  more  in  line  with  scholarship  and 
less  with  dogmatic  literalism. 

Equally  good  and  useful  is  Spokes- 
men For  God.  This  introduces  us  to 
the  life  and  work  of  Elijah,  Micah,  and 
Haggai.  Frances  Eastman  does  the 
script  for  adults  and  Oscar  J.  Rumpf 
the  one  for  children.  Both  are  well- 
written  and  adjusted  to  the  needs  of 
these  two  audiences.  For  it  Harold 
Minton  has  turned  out  73  frames  of 
his  excellent  art. 

Both  are  highly  recommended  for 
use  by  teachers  and  the  teachers  of 
teachers  in  church  and  college.  Both 
are  available  from  Christian  Education 
Press,  1505  Race  Street,  Philadelphia 
2,  Pa.,  and  the  price  is  $5.50,  including 
the  printed  script. 


Child-Choose  Theory 

In  his  "Helps-For-The-Month"  bul- 
letin for  the  First  Quarter  of  1959, 
editor  Paul  G.  Kiehl  takes  a  whack 
at  the  let-the-child-choose  theory  of 
teaching.  "In  the  use  of  visual  aids," 
he  says,  "It  shows  itself  in  different 
ways.  We  must  produce  and  show 
audiovisual  materials  which  entertain 
the  child,  because  he  likes  to  be  en- 
tertained." 

He  goes  on  to  observe  that  we  want 
it  to  have  a  moral  point  but  we  need 
to  slick  up  the  job  so  the  child  is 
entertained.  That  is  certainly  a  silly 
thing  to  waste  our  money  on  when 
making  films  and  filmstrips  for  edu- 
cational purposes. 

How  long  will  it  take  us  to  learn 
that  our  money  is  better  spent  struc- 
turing our  materials  to  make  them 
interesting.  By  this  we  mean  having 
the  quality  which  is  needed  to  hold 
the  attention  and  make  them  easy  to 
understand.  Easy  to  understand,  they 
are  easy  to  think  about;  and  this  is  a 
central  phase  of  the  learning  process. 

When  a  film  or  filmstrip  is  inter- 
esting it  can  be  seen  profitably  sev- 
eral times  without  any  one  getting 
bored.  Thus,  we  are  free  to  use  good 
materials  over  and  over;  to  wring 
the  educational  juice  out  of  them  time 
and  time  again  without  their  coming 
apart  in  our  very  hands.  Paul  is  right; 
this  clamor  for  what's  new  and  for 
what's    entertaining,     is    a     theatrical 


inheritance.  It  has  tended  to  pe 
sist  because  so  much  of  our  educ; 
tional  W  material  has  been  mad 
by  those  having  their  deepest  oriet 
tation  in  entertainment  and  not 
education.  Let's  have  some  re-oriei 
tation  for  all  those  in  both  produi 
tion  and  use  who  have  not  seen  th 
new  light. 


s.o.s. 

The  line  that  reaches  from  the  abur 
dance  of  America  to  the  privations  o 
many  people  can  easily  be  called 
"lifeline."  This  is  the  reason  the  Ti 
frame  B&W  sound  filmstrip  produce 
by  the  Broadcasting  and  Film  Coir 
mission  for  Church  World  Service  anc 
its  cooperating  denominations  wa 
given  the  title  Lifeline. 

This  fine  filmstrip  tells  juit  what  th 
Share  Our  Surplus  program  is  and  jus 
how  it  depends  upon  money  from  th 
churches  to  keep  our  surplus  moving 
And  how  much  can  be  moved  by  hov 
little  —  One  dollar  will  move  up  to  30i 
pounds  of  life-giving  food  to  the  hun 
gry  in  typhoon-blasted  Japan,  quake 
shaken  Greece,  teeming  Hong  Kong 
refugee-choked  West  Germany,  or  hin 
ricane-devastated  Haiti,  and  so  oi 
around  the  world.  Here,  in  15  minutes 
the  story  is  told,  with  pictorial  elo 
quence  and  realism;  in  moving  word 
and  stirring  ideas. 

This  is  the  filmstrip  which  thi 
churches  will  need  to  interpret  th<

Hour  of  Sharing  offering  this  year  anc

This  series  begins  with  the  13-min 
utc  He  Acts  His  Age.  It  shows  us  a 
group  of  children  at  a  picnic.  Via 
an  acutely  observant  camera  and  a 
perceptive  commentator  we  become 
quite  aware  that  every  one  IS  act- 
ing his  age.  It's  an  excellent  intro- 
duction   to    the    series,    and   helps   to 


206 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  — April,  1959 


sharpen    our    powers    of    observation 
for   those    to   follow. 

In  a  nursery  play-yard  we  see  the 
Terrible  Twos  and  The  Trusting 
Threes  in  action:  playing,  fighting, 
exploring,  learning.  The  teacher  is 
active,  too,  but  much  less  so  than 
many  'busy  type'  teachers  and  parents 
will  expect.  In  20  minutes  those  hav- 
ing eves  to  see  with  can  fill  their 
hcails  with  much  to  think  about. 

Roddy  is  our  Frustrating  Four  and 
Fascinating  Five,  and  we  see  his  zig- 
/a.n  course  of  behavior  throui>h 
kindergarten  and  home:  first  as  a  four 
vear  old,  and  then  as  a  five  year  old. 
This  gives  us  a  depth  view  of  one 
(hild.  It's  very  revealing.  What  a  dif- 
ference one   year   can   make! 

In  the  .Arden's  home  we  find  our 
Sociable  Six  and  Noisy  Nine  chil- 
dren: Betty,  six,  and  Sandy  and  Pete, 
eight  and  nine.  The  candid  aspect 
of  all  the.se  films  is  little  short  of 
amazing.  Surely  they  knew  the  camera 
was  looking  in  on  their  doings!  But 
tiaturalness  marks  every  shot  so  pro- 
foundly that  we  never  think  of  the 
children  as  acting.  They  are  living  for 
us.  and  to  the  hilt,  whether  getting 
on  or  scrapping,  .\gain,  what  lessons 
parents  and  teachers  can  learn  from 
Mich  a  film. 

From  Ten  To  Twelve  gives  us 
many  realistic  examples  of  typical  be- 
iKivior  patterns  of  the  pre-teenager. 
More  of  an  individual  now.  he  is  full 
of  dvnamic  wavs.  Emotional  currents 
begin  to  mark  his  behavior.  The  film 
helps  us  to  see  the  ages  and  the 
stages  of  the  Jones  children,  and  to 
appreciate  the  emotional  field  which 
polarizes  around  this  familv  group 
which  is  headed  bv  a  rather  sensible 
set    of  matured    parents. 

For  our  view  of  The  Teens  we  go 
to  a  middle-class  urban  family:  |oan. 
well  on  the  way  to  maturity,  is  fifteen; 
Barry,  fourteen,  thrives  on  vigorous 
activity  with  his  gang,  while  Timmv 
still  needs  solitude  and  shared  hob- 
bies which  often  mark  the  thirteen- 
vear  older.  Our  camera  takes  steadv 
aim.  and  ottr  observer  is  penetrating 
in  his  comments  on  what  we  see.  Thus 
we  learn  a  lot.  if  our  minds  arc  open, 
and  we  like  it. 

The  last  two  films  are  26  minutes 
each,  and  the  other  three  about  22. 
TTiev  seem  much  shorter!  .\t  this 
length  thev  give  plentv  of  time  for  a 
discussional  follow-up.  Of  course  they 
would  make  a  superb  series  for 
church  school  teachers  and  parents. 
And  let  me  urge  that  nil  the  films 
be  shown  to  the  same  audience,  not 
just  on  an  age-group  basis.  One  weak- 
ness of  many  teachers  is  that  thev 
never  knew,  or  have  forgotten,  what 
the    pupils    thev    teach    were    like    in 


earlier  stages  of  growth;  and  fail,  also, 
to  appreciate  just  what  they  are 
headed  into.  The  same  for  parents. 
Think  of  the  money  you  can  save 
if  you  will  use  this  series  rather  than 
secure  the  services  of  a  speaker  oi 
speakers!  In  honoraria  for  people  as 
competent  as  these  films  you  would 
])ay  out  five  times  the  total  rental  for 
the  series.  Let  me  urge  you  to  pre- 
view them,  and  then  use  them  with 
teachers,  with  groups  of  parents  all 
across  the  life  of  your  church.  Re- 
ligious observations  are  not  made. 
That  we  can  sujjplv  easily  in  their 
utilization.    Highly    recommended. 


A  Useful  Trinity 

The  .Society  for  Visual  Education  has 
just  released  three  sound  and  color 
filmstrips  in  its  "How  We  Got  Our 
Bible"  series.  The  target  audience  for 
the  series  is  5th  grade  through  adult. 
The  commentary  was  narrated  by  John 
Mallow,  with  good  over-all  effect,  for 
LP  (33-1/3  rpm)  records.  The  film- 
strips  were  authored  by  Doris  Clore 
Demaree.  and  Venida  Jones  composed 
the  background  music. 

Making  The  Old  Testament  (41 
frames;  12  minutes)  illustrates  the  var- 
ious steps  in  the  development  of  Scrip- 
ture, and  how  it  was  collected  into 
"books"  and  became  our  O.T.  In 
short,  it  seeks  to  answer  three  ques- 
tions: what  is  the  O.T.?  what  does  it 
contain?  and,  why  was  it  written, 
preserved,  and  collected  into  one  book? 
Its  answers  are  supposed  to  supple- 
ment general  study,  not  substitute  for 
it.  In  composition,  color,  and  general 
conception,  Mathilda  Keller's  art  is 
very  satisfactory.  A  good  and  useful 
filmstrip! 

Making  The  New  Testament  (43 
frames;  IIV2  minutes)  gives  some  of 
the  more  important  reasons  for  the 
writing  of  the  N.T.  materials,  relating 
the  work,  travels,  and  writings  of  men 
like  Paul,  and  Luke,  and  Mark,  and 
Peter  to  the  N.T.  writings.  A  fine 
overview,  and  very  useful  in  the 
church's    instructional    program. 

The  Bible:  A  Book  For  Every  One 
(48  frames;  H'/^  minutes)  tells  how 
the  Bible  came  down  from  the  origi- 
nal Hebrew  and  Greek  through  many 
translations,  revisions,  and  many  hands 
to  its  present  form.  The  work  of  Je- 
rome, Bede,  Wycliffe,  Tyndale,  and 
others,  is  briefly  touched.  We  are  told 
of  the  origin  of  the  great  English  ver- 
sions—Great, Geneva,  Bishop's,  King 
James,  English  Revised,  and  the  RSV 
of  our  own  time.  In  this,  and  the  one 
above,  the  art  of  Esther  Bell  is  good  in 
conception  and  execution,  helping  the 
filmstrip  to  communicate.

NEW  EQUIPMENT 

Viewmasfer  Turns  Schoolmaster 

The  well-known  Sawyer  "Viewmasfer" 
3-D  color  picture  reels  have  now  been 
adapted  for  classroom  use  In  a  novel 
correlation  of  projected  image,  indi- 
vidual 3-D  viewing,  illustrated  primary 
grade  readers,  and  dramatized  record- 
ings of  the  book  content  keyed  to  the 
projected  picture  sequence.  Each  unit 
comprises  a)  several  picture  wheels 
which  can  be  projected  in  a  low-cost 
1 00- watt  plastic  projector  ($19.95),  or 
viewed  in  any  of  the  "Viewmaster" 
viewers;  b)  a  33 '/a  rpm  two-side  record; 
c)  a  nicely  illustrated  children's  reading 
book;  and  d)  a  very  practical  teacher's 
guide  printed  right  on  the  correspondence 
— manila  folder  that  holds  the  unit  to- 
gether securely. 

Sawyer's  first  eight  subjects  include 
four  childhood  classic  fairy  tales:  Goldi- 
locks and  the  Three  Bears,  The  Ugly 
Duckling,  The  Three  Little  Pigs,  and  The 
Sleeping  Beauty.  Two  on  kindergarten- 
primary  music  Rhythms  and  Sounds  and 
Music,  include  concepts  applicable  in 
higher  grades.  Fun  with  Pets  and  Fun 
at  the  Zoo  complete  the  initial  release 
list. 

A  screen  (10%x9V2")  with  folding 
shadowbox  is  available  for  intimate 
group  showings.  The  projector  accom- 
modates all  Viewmaster  picture  reels, 
such  as  children  have  long  been  receiv- 
ing in  their  homes  as  gifts.  Available 
at  low  cost,  in  great  variety,  and  vir- 
tually indestructible,  they  constitute  a 
most  useful  self-activization  device  for 
even  the  youngest.  This  "Viewmaster 
turned  schoolmaster,"  tested  in  Cali- 
fornia and  Oregon  school  installations,  is 
about  to  enter  the  national  market. 
Dealer    inquiries   are    invited.

Photo  Copies  in  Open  Class 

A  new  system  of  physical  photography 
permits  copying  of  slides,  motion  picture 
frames  or  other  transparencies  right  out 
in  the  open,  under  ordinary  classroom 
lighting,  without  darkroom  or  chemicals. 
This  Beseler-Kalvar  "Slide-O-Film"  is 
simply  placed  in  emulsion-to-emulsion 
contact,  exposed  to  light  for  periods  vary- 
ing from  two  seconds  to  several  minutes, 
depending  on  the  density  of  the  intensity 
of  the  light  source,  then  subjected  to  heat 
(two  seconds  in  boiling  water  or  about 
twice  that  long  under  a  200-degree  flat- 
iron).  If  made  from  a  negative  the  re- 
sulting positive  is  ready  for  immediate 
projection;    if   made   from   a   positive   the 


Unit  shown  with  "Viewmaster"  viewer,  2-dimensional  projector,  and  TV-size  screen., 


negative   copy    may    be    used    for    making 
contact   prints  or   enlargements. 

The  film  is  on  an  exceedingly  tough 
Mylar  base,  in  35mm  rolls  or  ZVax-ZVa" 
sheets.  A  Beseler  sample  kit  (25  cents 
to  cover  cost  of  mailing)  includes  a 
"Slide-0-Mount"      printing      frame      for 


copying  in  any  300-watt  or  500-watt 
slide  projector,  film  sufficient  for  six 
35mm  copies,  and  an  instruction  book. 
A    handy    box-printer    is   available. 

Among  suggested  educational  applica- 
tions are  the  rapid  in-school  production

HERE  IS  YOUR  KEY  TO  THE 
AUDIO-VISUAL  RELEASES  OF  1957-1958 

The  BLUE  BOOK  of  Audio-Visual  Materials 


the  ONLY  source-book  that  completely  correlates 
all  four  principal  types  of  instructional  materials 

Costs  Only  $1.00 


Not  only  does  the  BLUE  BOOK  tell  you  where  to  get  16mm 
films;  it  also  tells  you  where  to  get  }ftnm  filmstrips,  slide  sets, 
and  educational  recordings. 

The  new  BLUE  BOOK  lists  all  these  major  types  of  teaching 
aids  under  the  same  subject  heads.  The  listings  include: 
title,  type  of  material,  length,  silent  or  sound,  color  or  black 
and  white,  television  clearance,  sale  and/or  rental  price, 
primary  source  of  distribution,  release  date,  content  descrip- 
tion, and  recommended  age  level. 

The  BLUE  BOOK  lists  materials  on  virtually  all  subjects  — 
agriculture,  armed  forces,  arts  and  crafts,  cinema  arts,  educa- 
tion, entertainment  features  in  many  languages,  personal  and 
vocational  guidance,  Jiealth  and  safety,  home  economics,  in- 
dustry, transportation,  industrial  arts,  languages  and  language 
arts,  literature  and  drama,  mental  helth,  mathematics,

history,  anthropology,  government,  social  problems)  and 
many  more.  No  matter  what  your  field  of  interest,  the  help 
you're  looking  for  is  in  the  BLUE  BOOK. 

For  more  than  30  years  the  BLUE  BOOK  has  been  the  desk- 
top reference  and  work-book  of  leading  audio-visual  educa- 
tion administrators.  Its  first  28  editions,  revised  annually, 
were  ciunulative,  those  following  list  only  the  new  releases 
of  their  year.  This  year,  again,  the  Blue  Book  issue  lists, 
classifies  and  indexes  the  new  offerings  released  during  the 
past  academic  year.  Every  subscriber  gets  the  BLUE  BOOK  — 
and  a  great  many  extra  copies  are  sold  for  all-year  reference 
use  in  film  and  other  libraries.  A-V  administration  offices, 
research  and  production  centers,  in  short  —  everywhere  that 
accurate  release  data  is  needed  quickly,  handily,  constantly! 
This  makes  the  annual  BLUE  BOOK  issue  a  doubly  useful 
one  for  our  subscribers  —  and.  consequently,  for  our  ADVER- 
TISERS.

50  per  cent  increase  in  subscriptions  be- 
tween the  two  first  releases.  Distribution 
is  through  28  regional  Ideal  Picture  li- 
braries. Yearly  subscription  (9  issues) 
$18.  (Ideal  Pictures,  Inc.,  58  E.  South

Sylvania  CCTV  Camera 

Pilot  production  is  announced  on  a 
new  vidicon-type  camera,  weighing  less 
than  I  5  pounds  and  designed  as  a  stand- 
ard unit  expected  to  meet  at  least  85  per 
cent  of  all  installation  conditions  without 
need  for  custom  installation.  Price  will  be 
determined  after  completion  of  the  pilot 
production  run,  but  it  is  expected  to  be 
well  below  that  of  most  custom-designed 
systems  currently  on  the  market.  In  the 
opinion  of  Mr.  Marion  E.  Pettigrew,  sen- 
ior vice  prseident  of  the  Sylvania  Home 
Electronics  Division,  "One  of  the  greatest 
areas  of  potential  use  is  in  local  school 
systems." 


Technifax  Schooling  Continuous 

Courses  in  practical  visual  communica- 
tion ("Visucom"  for  short)  continue 
throughout  the  year  at  the  Technifax  lab- 
oratories, Holyoke,  Mass.  Workshop 
courses,  3  to  5  days,  are  available  with- 
out charge  even  for  materials  used,  to 
qualified  applicants  desiring  hard-core 
do-it-yourself  instruction  in  diazotypy, 
photography,  photocopying  and  desigri 
and  use  of  visuals  of  all  kinds.  Write 
direct,  indicating  nature  of  your  interest 
and  work. 


NAVA  Convention 

The  1959  National  Audio- Visual  Con- 
vention, to  be  held  at  Chicago's  Morrison 
Hotel  July  25  through  28,  will  follow 
much  the  same  pattern  found  so  success- 
ful in  recent  years.  NAVA's  exhibits  will 
be  open  Saturday,  July  25,  from  I  to  6; 
Sunday  and  Monday  from  noon  to  6; 
Tuesday  9  a.m.  to  I  p.m.  Projector  and 
other  major  equipment  manufacturers 
will  hold  their  sales  meetings  prior  to  the 
25th.  There  will  be  no  sales  meetings  or 
set  group  meetings  of  any  kind  during 
exhibit  hours  except  after  5  p.m.  Break- 
fast will  be  served  at  8  a.m.  Saturday  and 
Monday,  but  without  formal  entertain- 
ment, in  order  that  groups  wishing  to 
breakfast  together  may  do  so,  in  reserved 
sections  of  the  Terrace  Casino,  where  the 
general  sessions  will  be  called  to  order 
promptly  at  9  o'clock.  Three  half-hour 
programs,  featuring  speakers  of  national 
prominence,  will  leave  free  time  for  sales 
meetings  or  other  group  functions  from 
approximately  10:45  until  not  later  than 
12:30. 

The  religious  worship  service,  at  1  1 
a.m.  Sunday,  will  be  arranged  and  con- 
ducted by  a  committee  of  clergymen  who 
are  NAVA  members,  beaded  by  Harvey 
Marks,  of  Denver.  The  Sunday  afternoon 
and  evening  Religious  A-V  Workshop 
will  be  run  as  in  the  past  by  the  A-V 
Committee  of  The  Church  Federation  of 
Greater  Chicago. 

Other  professional  A-V  groups  meeting 
contiguously  with  the  NAVA  Convention 
include  Educational  Film  Library  Associ- 
ation, Association  of  Chief  State  School 
A-V  Officers,  Industrial  Training  Direc- 
tors Workshop,  Agricultural  Audio-Visual 
Workshop,  and  A-V  Conferences  of  Med- 
ical and  Allied  Sciences. 

The  exhibits  are  certain  to  be  bigger 
and  more  varied  than  ever.  Additional 
space  this  year  wil  include  the  sizable 
Hollywood  Room,  which  served  as  gen- 
eral office  and  press  room  last  year,  but 
even  with  this  increase  it  is  expected 
that  every  inch  of  space  will  be  sold  out 
long  before  show  date. 

Last  year's  innovation  of  having  a 
NAVA  officer  on  public  relations  duty  at 
all  times  on  the  lobby  floor  was  found  so 
helpful  that  it  is  to  be  expanded  this 
year  to  have  a  similar  officer  available  in 
the  exhibit  halls  and  another  at  the  regis- 
tration desk  to  help  with  any  problems 
encountered  by  either  exhibitors  or  vis- 
itors.

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  April,  1959 


This  year's  ladies'  program  likewise 
will  follow  very  much  along  the  lines  de- 
veloped in  1958,  with  hours  fixed  to  per- 
lif  also  active  businesswomen  to  take 
part  in  the  ladies'  social  functions  with 
minimum  time  taken  from  exhibit  hours. 
The  2x2  color  slides  shown  by  co-chair- 
man Cussie  Kruse  two  years  ago  found  so 
much  favor  that  women  visitors  are  being 
invited  to  bring  along  a  small  collection 
of  their  own  favorite  slides,  not  more 
than  a  dozen,  for  a  "get  better  ac- 
quainted" program. 


Zenith   Moving 

Zenith  Radio  Corporation  intends  to 
move  its  Chicago  street  level  display  salon 
to  a  new  location,  the  present  IBM  quar- 
ters at  200  N.  Michigan.  The  purpose  of 
the  salon,  like  that  of  its  New  York 
counterpart  (666  Fifth  Ave.),  is  to  give 
prospective  buyers  a  chance  to  pre-shop 
the  entire  line  before  placing  their  order 
with  the  dealer  of  their  preference.  Har- 
old Driscoll,  formerly  advertising  manager 
at  Bell  &  Howell,  now  holds  that  post  at 
Zenith.

RCA's  Audio  Roadshows  | 

A  series  of  presentation  units  will  hit  j 
the  road  via  station  wagons,  each  manned 
by  a  sound  technician  and  a  professional 
public  speaker,  to  tell  RCA's  story  of  re- 
corded sound  from  the  tinfoil  cylinder  to 
the  stereo  disk  to  service  clubs  and  other 
group  audiences.  Club  chairmen  may  I 
apply  for  dates  to  RCA  Shows  and  Exhib- 
its Department,  Camden  2,  N.  J. 


Heart-felt  Film   Plea 

Dr.  J.  Edwin  Foster,  at  the  American 
Heart  Association,  knows  from  experi- 
ence that  no  film  program  can  be  better 
than  the  condition  of  the  print  that  goes 
into  the  projector.  He  has  just  prepared 
a  little  12-page  illustrated  booklet, 
"Minimum  Film  Handling  Equipment  and 
Its  Use,"  intended  for  agencies  such  as 
his  own  which  maintain  small  film  li- 
braries and  must  do  their  own  inspection 
and  repair.  It  grants  that  better  film 
service  can  usually  be  provided  for  small 
agencies  by  film  handling  concerns  that 
make  this  their  business,  but  where  these 
are  not  conveniently  available  a  lot  can 
be  accomplished  with  a  splicer,  rewinds 
and  other  minimum  resources  and  know- 
how.  The  booklet  provided  much  of  the 
latter.  Ed's  address:  44  E.  23rd  St.,  New 
York  10. 


Better  Microfilm 

Eastman  Kodak  annuonces  an  improve- 
ment in  its  microfilm  positive  that  raises 
potential  resolution  to  practically  the  240 
lines  per  millimeter  of  the  original  Kodak 
microfilm  negative,  as  against  the  current 
150  lines  that  dropped  to  about  80  after 
printing  and  processing.  Better  reading 
quality  in  roll  film  records  of  books  and 
other   library   materials  will    result.

...  a  unique  process  pioneered  by  General 
Film  in  which  a  strip  o(  35mm  film,  perfo- 
rated with  32mm  sprocket  holes,  is  split 
down  the  center  to  produce  two  15mm  prints 
of  outstanding  quality. 

After  successfully  processing  millions  of 
feet  of  35/32  black  and  while  and  color  film 
we  have  observed  many  outstanding  advan- 
tages and  list  a  few:  better  sound  quality. 
tack  of  roller  abrasions  in  sound  track  area, 
the  ability  to  use  standard  35mm  profes- 
sional equipment,  and  the  efficiency  that 
comes  from  handling  two  prints  in  one 
operation.  Negatives  made  on  35/32  film 
stand  wear  and  handling  ot  multiple  print- 
ing much  better  than  do  16mm  negatives, 
Additional  information  to  help  you  apply 
these  advantages  to  your  own  film  needs  is

Now,  for  the  first  time,  the  audio 
communicates  as  clearly  as  the  vis- 
ual. Bell  &  Howell's  Pan- Harmonic 
sound  offers  new  clarity  and  richness 
for  sharper  communication. 

The  vastly  improved  sound  results 
from  (1)  a  high  fidelity  amplifier, 
and  (2)  a  newly  designed  speaker, 
permanently  mounted  in  the  projec- 
tor case  itself. 

This  permanent  location  provides 
enclosed  baffling  for  superior  fidelity 
and  impelling  realism.  The  location 
also  insures  uniform  distribution  of 
sound,  forward  and  to  the  sides.  Sit- 
ting high,  at  ear  level,  it  projects 
sound  above  the  usual  obstructions 


and  reaches  the  audience  directly. 

Add  to  this  the  convenience  of  a 
clean  and  speedy  set-up,  for  with  an 
integrated  system  there  are  no  wires 
to  string  from  projector  to  speaker. 

Thus,  in  areas  of  2,000  square  feet 
or  less,  the  new  Filmosound  Special- 
ists offer  remarkably  improved  com- 
munication and  convenience.

This  Month's  Cover 

On  our  May  cover  we  are  proud  to 
present  a  scene  from  the  award-win- 
ning film  "Bitter  Welcome,"  which 
took  the  Blue  Ribbon  for  the  category 
Mental  Health  and  Human  Relations 
in  EFL.\'s  recent  .\merican  Film  Fes- 
tival. The  black  and  white  sound  film 
concerns  the  struggle  of  a  former  men- 
tal patient  to  regain  his  place  in  his 
community,  and  is  presented  by  the 
Mental  Health  Film  Board,  New  York 
City.  For  more  details  on  the  Festival, 
see  pages  246-7. 

TV  Controversy 

In  this  issue,  Philip  Lewis  explores 
the  provocative  possibilities  of  educa- 
tional television,  while  carefully  stress- 
ing the  point  (so  often  overlooked  by 
some  of  this  mediinn's  detractors)  that 
any  mechanical  method  is  only  as 
good  as  the  material  it  transmits.  Next 
month.  Educational  Screen  &  AUDIO- 
VISUAL Guide  will  feature  an  article 
by  Robert  Diamond  on  the  actual  ap- 
plication of  in-school  television  in  the 
Plainedge  School,  Long  Island. 

During  the  months  to  come,  this 
publication  as  well  as  others  will  re- 
flect the  widely  varying  opinions  of 
educators  regarding  the  teaching  ap- 
plications of  television.  One  hears  all 
sorts    of    arguments,    most    of    them 


backed  up  with  statistics  of  some  soi 
Students  like  televised  classes  and  leai 
well  from  them;  they  abhor  them 
boring  time-wasters;  they  are  cor 
pletely  indifferent.  Now  and  then  oi 
learns  of  a  college  or  school  in  whit 
the  goal  seems  to  be  as  complete  mec 
anization  as  possible  — a  horrifying  pr 
view  of  the  worlds  of  Orwell  and  Hu; 
ley.  But  it  is  well  never  to  lose  sigl 
of  the  fact  that  the  ultimate  success  ( 
failure  of  television  or  any  other  edi 
cational  medium  depends  on  the  ii 
tellectual  value  of  the  material  and  th 
intelligence  expended  in  its  present: 
tion. 


Special  Issues 

July  will  again  be  devoted  princi 
pally  to  the  National  Audio-Visua 
Convention  and  Exhibit,  to  be  hel 
from  the  twenty-fifth  through  th 
twenty-eighth  at  the  Morrison  Hole 
here  in  Chicago.  In  this  issue,  we  wi; 
attempt  not  only  to  aid  the  visito 
with  regard  to  meetings,  exhibits,  am 
so  forth,  but  to  provide  those  unable  t. 
attend  with  an  impression  of  the  pre 
ceedings. 

August  is,  of  course,  our  annua 
Blue  Book,  a  very  important  issue  ti 
keep  for  handy  reference  the  yea 
'round.

Indiana  University 
Holds  NET  Conference 

Representatives  from  12  film  librar- 
ies in  29  states  participated  in  the  first 
National  Educational  Television 
(NET)  Film  .Service  Conference  held 
recently  at  Indiana   University. 

The  two-day  conference  brought  to- 
gether staff  members  of  the  National 
Educational  Television  and  Radio 
Center  (NEIRC),  Ann  Arbor,  Michi- 
gan, NET  Film  .Service  personnel  at 
Indiana  University  and  directors  of 
film  libraries  involved  in  the  distri- 
bution of  NET  films. 

Planned  to  bring  about  a  better  un- 
derstanding between  libraries,  NETRC 
and  NET  Film  Service,  discussion  cen- 
tered around  four  general  areas.  They 
were  (1)  a  definition  of  the  basic  pro- 
gram policy  of  NETRC,  (2)  a  clarifi- 
cation of  the  link  between  the  film  li- 
braries and  the  Center,  (3)  the  impor- 
tance of  the  television  or  kinescope 
films  made  for  the  16mm  audience  and 
(4)  the  implications  of  the  National 
Defense  Education  .\ct  with  respect  to 
production  of  programs  for  NETRC. 

Those  making  presentations  and 
leading  discussions  were  Kenneth 
Yourd,  James  Robertson  and  Ed  Co- 
hen, representing  NETRC;  Charles 
Schuller,  Director  of  the  .Audio-Visual 
Center,  Michigan  State  Universitv  and 
President  of  D,\VI;  and  L.  C.  Larson, 
K.  C.  Rugg,  Ed  Richardson,  Marvin 
Dawson  and  R.  W.  Frye  from  Indiana 
University.  Herman  B.  Wells,  I*resi- 
dent  of  Indiana  University,  opened 
the  conference  with  a  reception  at  his 
home. 


Aural  Reading  Machine 

A  new  machine  to  enable  the  blind 
to  read  ordinary  printed  material  is 
being  evaluated   by   the    Battelle    Me- 


morial Institute,  which  designed  i: 
under  contract  to  the  Veterans  Ad 
ministration.  .At  the  present  stage  o 
development  of  the  reader,  the  sound 
produced  by  the  device  do  not  resem 
hie  speecli  but  are  patterns  of  musica 
tones  similar  to  chords  played  on  ar 
organ.  By  interpreting  these  tones 
trained  users  should  ultimately  attair 
.1  speed  of  fifteen  to  thirty  words  pei 
minute. 

lAVA  Meets  at 
Springfield 

The  senn'-annual  meeting  of  the  Illi- 
nois .Audiovisual  .Association,  .Apri: 
2-3,  drew  an  attendance  ol  85  Irom  all 
parts  of  the  state.  Highlight  of  tht 
meeting  was  an  address  bv  Dr.  George 
T.  Wilkins,  newly  elected  State  Su-i 
perintendcnt  of  Public  Instruction,  on 
the  Illinois  plan  for  implementing  the 
National  Defense  Education  .Act.  This 
was  later  detailed  bv  a  member  r)f  his 
staff,  Edward  S.  Chesko,  especially  as 
to  Title  III.  The  first  afternoon  ses- 
sion was  taken  up  by  six  roundtable 
discussion  groups  who  reported  their 
findings  at  the  opening  of  the  second 
day  sessions.  A  dinner  meeting  wsn 
addressed  by  Dr.  Charles  F.  .Schuller, 
D.AVI  president,  also  on  NDE.A.  His 
address  was  followed  bv  the  >creeniii,n 
of  Coronet,  Delta  and  EBF  films. 

.At  the  business  meeting  Frida\ 
morning,  chaired  by  president  Horace 
M.  Wollerman.  minor  constitutional 
changes  were  approved  to  harmonize 
with  the  major  changes  voted  last  fall. 
.An  offer  is  to  be  extended  to  EFL.A 
and  to  NAV.A  to  cooperate  in  staging 
an  educational  (classroom)  AV  work 
shop  along  lines  similar  to  those  found 
successful  for  years  by  the  medical, 
industrial  training  and  religioiis  .AV 
specialists.  .A  similar  offer  of  coopera- ' 
tion  was  extended  to  NAV.A  in  meet- 
ing the  invitation  of  the  National 
.\ssociation  of  Sdiool  Boards  to  help 
arrange  an  audi(>\iMial  program  at 
that  association's  meeting  in  April 
1960.  Dr.  Philip  Lewis,  Dr.  James  P.

Secretary). 


DAVI  Convention 
a  Success 


U.ALITY,  Quantity  Educa- 
tion" was  the  central  theme  of  the 
1959  Convention  of  the  Department 
of  .Audio-Visual  Instruction  of  the 
National  Education  .Association  (Seat- 
tle, .April  13-16).  The  opening  general 
session  address  by  President  Charles 
F.  Schuller  called  attention  to  the 
shcM"t-changing  of  education  during 
war  and  postwar  years  and  especially 
during  the  past  decade.  He  urged 
teachers  to  work  outside  as  well  as 
inside  their  classrooms  so  as  to  extend 
their  influence  "into  those  legislative 
bodies  on  whom  so  much  of  the  fu- 
ture of  education   dejjends." 

He  called  on  D.AVI  members  in 
particular  to  work  more  closely  with 
other  professional  educator  organiza- 
tions to  solve  the  basic  issues,  qualita- 
tive as  well  as  quantitative,  that  today 
confront  the  schools  and  their  pub- 
lics. Special  credit  was  given  the  drive 
by  N.AVA,  as  well  as  by  DAVI  to 
pass,  and,  later,  to  hold  the  line  for 
the  National  Defense  Education  .Act. 

Other  general  session  speakers  in- 
cluded Lindley  J.  Stiles,  dean.  School 
of  Education,  University  of  Washing- 
ton Roy  M.  Hall,  Assistant  Commis- 
sioner for  Research,  U.  S.  Office  of 
Education;  and  John  Fritz,  Director, 
.Audio-Visual  Center,  University  of 
Chicago.  There  were  addresses  also  by 
film  producer  Julien  Bryan  and  by 
J.  Stanley  Mcintosh,  Executive  Direc- 
tor, Teaching  Films  Custodians. 

The  five-day  program  followed  very 
much  the  usual  D.AVI  pattern,  with 
separate  smaller  meetings  for  special 
occupational    subject    area,    television 


and  administrative  interests.  Total 
paid  registration  was  announced  as 
1,005,  and  several  thousand  compli- 
mentary tickets  were  distributed 
through  school  channels  to  teachers 
for  after-school  attendance  at  tech- 
nique demonstrations  and  at  the  ex- 
hibits. 

-At  the  exhibitors'  meeting,  Sunday, 
there  was  sympathetic  understanding 
of  the  difficulties  faced  by  Mrs.  "Mic- 
key" Bloodworth,  who  was  called  in 
to  complete  the  convention  arrange- 
ments begun  by  Kitty  Welch  (Mrs. 
M.  C.  Hedquist).  Ben  Peirez  spoke  for 
all  the  exhibitors  when  he  urged 
better  planning  for  next  year's  meet- 
ing at  Cincinnati.  .A  committee  of 
exhibitors  was  chosen  to  meet  with 
D.AVI's  new  planning  committee. 

Of  868  registrants  during  the  first 
three  days  158  were  .AV  directors  in 
school  systems,  140  University  and  col- 
lege staff,  48  .AV  building  coordinators, 
36  superintendents  and  principals,  48 
teachers  and  the  rest  widely  distribu- 
ted in  subject  and  administrative  in- 
terests. 

There  were  18  registrants  specifically 
in  the  field  of  religious  education,  but 
two  packed  sessions,  on  Sunday  after- 
noon and  evening,  attested  the  grow- 
ing importance  of  this  now  officially 
recognized  D.AVI  Section.  "Commer- 
cial" registration  at  the  same  point 
was  230. 

The  exhibit  booths  (69)  were  sold 
out  weeks  before  the  show  and  an- 
other 20  could  have  been  disposed  of 
had  there  been  room.  .All  exhibitors 
made  impressive  use  of  their  space.

structure  were  made  at  the  Board 
meeting  prior  to  the  opening  of  the 
convention.  A  Committee  on  Commit- 
tees, headed  by  incoming  president 
Walter  S.  Bell,  overhauled  D.AVI's  list 
of  47  committees  and  recommended 
the  continuation  in  their  present  form 
of  only  four  —  .Archives  and  History, 
Buildings  and  Equipment.  Legislative, 
Research,  and  Standards  (and  specifi- 
cations) for  .AV  Equipment.  Two  are 
to  merge  into  a  single  "Professional 
and   Teacher   Education   Committee." 

Other  committees  in  the  main  will 
be  absorbed  into  five  "sections"  which 
will  henceforth  elect  their  own  officers: 
They  are  (a)  College  &  University 
Programs:  (b)  School  Systems  Pro- 
grams: (c)  Individual  .Schools  Pro- 
grams; (d)  Religious  Education  Pro- 
grams;    (e)    .Armed    Forces    Programs. 

Executive  Secretary  .Anna  L.  Hyer 
made  a  well-visualized  report  on 
D.AXTs  many  activities  during  the 
year.  .A  "first"  at  this  session  was  the 
awarding  of  meritorious  service  certifi- 
cates to  31  veteran  members  who  upon 
reaching  either  retirement  or  age  60 
and  with  not  less  than  10  years  of 
D.AVI  membership  have  made  "out- 
standing contributions  to  the  field  of 
audio-visual  education."  The  follow-

honor:  .Albright,  Roger;  .Arnspiger.  V.

Let's  Get 

Together  on 

Title  m 


Paul  C.  Reed 


NAEB  is  the  abbreviation  for  the  National  Association  of  Edu- 
cational Broadcasters,  and  NDEA  is  a  symbol  for  the  National 
Defense  Education  Art  of  1958.  The  respected  Executive  Director 
of  NAEB  had  some  very  interesting  things  to  say  about  Title  III 
of  NDEA  in  a  recent  issue  of  the  NAEB  Newsletter.  In  his  memo 
column  to  members  of  NAEB  he  seemed  pretty  incensed  because 
he  believes  the  audiovisual  people  are  advocating  the  purchase  of 
films,  filnistrips,  and  projectors  with  Title  III  funds  to  the  exclu- 
sion of  other  media.  He  tells  the  radio  and  television  educators 
they  had  better  get  busy  to  protect  their  interests. 

When  you  talk,  with  the  film  people  they  claim  it's  the  etv  boys 
who  are  trying  to  get  a  corner  on  all  the  funds.  There  are  also 
loud  pleas  from  the  science  laboratory  and  language  laboratory 
people  that  the  funds  shoidd  go  mainly  for  their  equipment.  The 
textbook  publishers  are  trying  desperately  to  overcome  the  im- 
pression that  textbooks  are  i»ot  altogether  excluded  and  that  you 
can  use  Title  III  funds  for  buying  textbooks.  The  librarians  see 
the  NDEA  as  an  opportunity  to  enlarge  the  language,  science, 
and  math  book  collections  in  the  libraries. 

School  administrators'  desks  are  being  covered  with  brochures 
and  advertising  circulars  telling  them  what  to  do  about  Title  III. 
But  it's  a  rare  piece  indeed,  that  makes  any  reference  whatsoever 
to  the  intent  and  purpose  of  Public  Law  864.  There  was  funda- 
mental purpose  to  the  Act;  and  it  should  not  be  forgotten  that  it 
was  intended  ".  .  .  to  provide  substantial  assistance  ...  to  insure 
trained  manpower  of  sufficient  quality  and  quantity  to  meet  the 
needs  of  the  United  States."  With  specific  reference  to  Title  III, 
the  purpose  is  stated  in  the  title  itself,  to  provide  financial  assist- 
ance for  "strengthening  science,  mathematics,  and  modern  lan- 
guage instruction." 

It  seems  to  us  there  are  grave  dangers  that  in  the  urgency  to 
develop  plans  and  projects  for  the  expenditure  of  Title  III  funds, 
quantities  of  things  may  be  bought  under  pressure  without  full 
consideration  as  to  just  how  these  materials  and  equipment  will 
be  used  to  strengthen  the  instructional  program.  VVe  heartily 
endorse  and  repeat  a  conclusion  of  NAEB's  Executive  Director 
that  "Neither  TV  nor  films  of  themselves,  in  whatever  quantity, 
will  gtiarantee  better  education."  The  big  and  the  difficult  ques- 
tion is,  "How  will  these  newer  materials  and  equipment  be  used, 
once  they  have  been  purchased  with  Title  III  fimds,  to  strengthen 
instruction  and  to  insure  that  this  country  will  be  provided  with 
the  trained  manpower  it  needs?"  This  is  the  big  question  that 
must  be  answered  at  local  levels  and  in  terms  of  local  needs.  If 
Title  III  funds  are  to  be  spent  wisely,  the  question  should  be  an- 
.swered  before  materials  and  equipment  are  pmchased  rather  than 
afterward. 

Decisions  about  steps  to  be  taken  to  ini]jrovc  the  instructional 
program  must  be  made  by  those  who  have  the  responsibility  for 
the  instructional  program.  In  the  last  analysis  it  is  the  Boards  of 
Education  that  have  this  responsibility.  But  they  act  upon  the 
recommendations  of  their  Superintendents,  and  a  Superintendent's 
recommendation  is  soundest  when  it  is  based  upon  the  advice  and 
counsel  of  all  of  his  staff  members  who  are  concerned. 

Although  school  audiovisual  directors  cannot  make  the  final 
decisions  about  what  will  be  done  with  Title  III  funds,  they  do 
have  an  important  role  to  play.  They  should  work  closely  with 
science,  math,  and  foreign  language  supervisors  and  consultants, 
with  librarians  and  textbook  consultants,  and  with  radio  and  tele- 
vision specialists.  All  instructional  media  encompassed  by  Title 
III  should  be  considered  and  definite  agreed-upon  plans  drawn 
up  to  acquire  only  those  materials  and  equipment  that  hold  most 
promise  for  meeting  local  needs  for  the  improvement  of  instruc- 
tion in  the  specific  areas. 

The  times  are  too  urgent  and  the  educational  needs  of  this  coun- 
try are  too  great  to  permit  petty  bickering  among  the  too  enthusi- 
astic advocates  of  different  media  of  communication.  In  this  modern 
age,  no  instructional  program  can  achieve  maximum  effectiveness 
without  the  use  of  audiovisual  media,  and  spoken  and  written 
words,  too.

At  Morris  E.  Ford  Junior  High  School,  Franklin  Pierce  School  District,  Parkland, 
Washington,  Mr.  C.  Bernard  Walter,  District  Audio- Visual  Coordinator,  says: 


'You  can  sit  anywhere  .  .  .  see  a  clear,  sharp  picture  .  . .  hear 
sound  distinctly— when  the  Kodak  Pageant  Projector  is  on." 


"With  this  projector,  students  next  to  the  windows  can  see 
as  clear  a  picture  as  those  in  the  darkest  corner  of  the 
room.  And  there's  no  question  about  the  audibility  of  the 
sound  anywhere  in  the  room. 

"Teachers  like  the  Pageant  because  it's  so  simple  to  set 
up  and  run. 

"We  administrators  like  the  machine  because  it  doesn't 
give  us  any  upkeep  worries.  We  don't  have  to  keep  lubri- 
cation records  for  one  thing."  (Pageant  projectors  are 
lubricated  for  life  at  the  factory.) 


The  extra  brilliance  you  see  with  a  Kodak  Pageant  16mm 
Projector  is  due  to  this  machine's  Super-40  Shutter,  an 
exclusive  feature,  which  projects  40%  more  light  on  the 
screen  than  ordinary  shutters  at  sound  speed. 

Superior  sound  audibility  is  a  matter  of  the  Pageant's 
true-rated  amplifier  (choice  of  8-,  1 5-,  or  25-watt  models), 
plus  the  unique  sound-focusing  control,  which  lets  you 
pinpoint  sound  clarity.

TV*s  Exciting  Development; 


hy  Philip  Letvis 


A. 


.FTER  little  more  than  a  decade  of  discus- 
sion, experimentation  and  field-testing,  television 
has  achieved  impressive  status  and  almost  general 
recognition  ,as  to  its  inherent  values  for  educa- 
tional applications.  Now  a  new  phase  has  been 
entered  which  promises  to  both  challenge  and 
inspire  educators  engaged  in  all  aspects  of  the 
teaching-learning  process. 

It  must  be  made  clear  that  television,  either 
closed-circuit  or  broadcast,  is  only  a  vehicle  or 
means  of  commimication  with  certain  peculiar 
advantages  as  well  as  definite  limitations.  If  the 
educational  end-products  are  to  be  valuable  as 
a  result  of  using  this  medium,  it  will  be  because 
the  content  transmitted  electronically  has  been 
carefully  selected  to  achieve  worthwhile  and  nec- 
essary objectives,  and  the  presentation  has  been 
made  in  a  manner  utilizing  techniques  which 
television  can  accommodate  effectively. 

This  same  principle  has  been  applied  without 
question  to  textbooks,  motion  pictures,  record- 
ings and  other  instructional  materials  in  the  past. 
Why  then,  should  not  television  be  accorded  this 
same  treatment?  It  is  not  an  either/or  decision 
between  TV  and  motion  pictures,  as  has  been 
stated  by  some  persons  in  the  field.  Neither 
does,  nor  should  this  become  an  issue  of  auto- 
mation in  teaching  to  eliminate  the  very  nec- 
essary face-to-face  relationships  between  the  in- 
structor and  the  student.  It  is  unthinkable  to 
replace  the  chalkboard  with  the  tiny  slate,  the 


modern  duplicator  with  the  gelatin  tray,  or  tiie 
functional  student  desk  with  the  archaic  wooden 
bench  and  table.  Technological  developments 
must  be  adopted  and  adapted  wherever  they  will 
facilitate  the  work  of  the  teacher  and  better 
serve  the  needs  of  the  student. 

Experience  with  televised  instruction  projects 
over  the  country  reveals  a  number  of  basic  prob- 
lems needing  adequate  solutions  before  the  fidl 
potential  of  TV  is  realized.  Many  of  the  an- 
swers, when  they  are  forthcoming,  will  benefit 
the  general  field  of  education  as  well: 

1.  What  should  be  the  place  of  television  in 
the  total  framework? 

2.  What  instructional  approaches  can  best  be 
used  with  TV? 

•S.  What  must  be  done  to  insure  an  adequate 
sup]jly  of  trained  TV  teachers?  What  are  the 
attributes  necessary  for  a  television  teacher? 
What  preparatory  experiences  should  the  class- 
room teacher  have  in  order  to  use  telecasts 
effectively? 

4.  How  can  the  efforts  of  the  TV  teacher  and 
the  classroom  teacher  be  coordinated  for  opti- 
mum results?  What  feedback  arrangements  and 
cooperative  planning  patterns  should   be  used? 

5.  What  evaluation  instruments  need  to  be 
devised  to  measure  the  overall  effects  of  tele- 
vision teaching  —  not  just  achievement  alone? 

6.  At  each  maturity  level  how  much  televised 
instiuction  can  a  student  receive  and  still  main-

program? 

7.  What  factors  should  be  considered  in  the 
design  of  school  buildings  to  provide  adequately 
for  the  use  of  television?  What  modifications 
can  be  made  to  existing  buildings? 

8.  What  can  be  done  to  overcome  scheduling 
bottlenecks  encountered  with  televised  instruc- 
tion? 

9.  What  are  the  economic  considerations  in 
the  use  of  television? 

10.  What  equipment  developments  and  other 
technical  advances  are  needed  to  permit  imple- 
mentation of  educational  objectives? 

11.  What  do  we  really  know  about  the  com- 
munication process  that  can  be  applied  to  the 
use  of  television? 

It  is  not  intended  to  convey  the  impression 
that  all  of  the  questions  listed  need  not  be  an- 
swered completely  before  an  educational  insti- 
tution participates  in  the  use  of  the  television 
medium.  Actually,  only  widespread  utilization 
will  evolve  the  answers.  It  is  important,  however, 
to  recognize  the  factors  to  be  dealt  with  in  any 
project  to  be  activated. 

Classroom  Considerations 

A  recent  canvass  of  the  school  building  field 
revealed    that    comparatively    little    information 
has  been  released  dealing  with  architectural  ap- 
proaches to  adapting  schools  and  classrooms  to 
television.   One  of  the  exceptions  discovered  was 
in   the  person   of  John   Rowlett,   an   Oklahoma 
architect,  who  has  demonstrated  both  vision  and 
creativeness  in  his  approach.  Two  major  consid- 
erations are  involved:    (1)  to  arrange  classroom 
viewing   situations    so    that    only    a    single    TV 
screen  is  visible  to  a  student  regardless  of   the 
use  of  multiijle  sources.    (2)  rooms  are  arranged 
with  mobile  dividers  so  that  extreme  flexibility 
of   arrangement    is   possible  —  compartments   for 
small  group   televiewing,   expanding   into   large 
areas  for  total  group  classroom  instruction.    It  is 
well  worth  the  time  to  review  the  sketches  in  Fig- 
ures 1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  and  to  adapt  any  of  the  sug- 
gestions that  suit  the  needs  of  a  local  school  sit- 
uation. 

Receiver  Possibilities 

Currently,  most  television-equipped  classrooms 
have  two  separate  receivers.    It  shoidd  be  (piite

any  environment  by  flicking  a  switch.  The  TV  wall  could

are  by  architect  John  Rowlett. 


practical   to  design   a   modular  receiver  with   a 
central  tuner,  power  supply,  etc.,  into  which  ad- 
ditional compact  viewing  screen  units  could  be 
plugged  and  arranged  90°  or  less  apart  to  serv- 
ice almost  any  situation.  This  assembly  could  be 
ceiling  mounted,  or  placed  on  a  mobile  stand. 
Each  screen  would  be  isolated  from  the  next  by 
a  narrow,  clip-on  baffle,  and  would  provide  flex- 
ibility of  class  grouping,  future  expansion   pos- 
sibilities, and  simplified  servicing  requirements. 
A  provocative  "Education  for  Tomorrow"  dis- 
play arranged  by  the  American  Seating  Company 
at  a  recent  A.A.S.A.  Convention    (Figure  6)  sug- 
gests some  possibilities  for  installing  small  TV 
receiver  screens  at  each  student  work  station  in 
a  laboratory.  These  units  would  be  connected  to 
TV  cameras  focused  on  the  instructor's  demon- 
stration table.    With  such  facilities  skill  opera- 
tions could  be  taught  more  effectively  and  with- 
out the  customary  number  of  repetitive  and  time- 
consuming  performances  on  the  part  of  the  in- 
structor. 

Data  Remoiioning 

Electronic  transfer  of  data  will  become  an  in- 
creasingly important  function  of  television  as 
used  in  educational  institutions.  An  exciting 
example  of  such  an  installation  connects  the 
.\lderman  Library  by  coaxial  cable  to  five  widely 
separated  buildings  on  the  campus  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Virginia.  This  closed-circuit  system 
makes  it  possible  for  an  individual  to  use  a  spe-

location  in  one  of  the  cable-connected  buildings. 
The  librarian  receives  the  verbal  request  for  ref- 
erence information  and  selects  the  volume  de- 
sired from  the  stacks.  The  book  is  placed  upon 
a  support  attached  to  an  automatic  page  turner 
facing  a  television  camera.  When  the  book  is 
in  position,  the  originator  of  the  call  is  in  full 
charge  of  the  page  turner  and  the  TV  camera 
through  the  use  of  remote  controls,  and  may  pur- 
sue his  reading  from  the  monitor  screen  at  his 
building  location. 

Television  and  Central  Sound 

The  DuKane  Corporation  has  released  infor- 
mation on  their  M.C.S.  System  (Figure  7).  This 
is  described  as  an  integrated  approach  incorpo- 
rating centralized  facilities  for  a  school  to  pro- 
vide for  the  distribution  of  sound,  intercommu- 
nication, television,  bell  signals,  fire  sensing 
alarms,  and  related  services.  It  is  interesting  to 
note  that  television  has  been  included  as  an 
integral  feature. 

Video  Tape  for  $10,000 

It  was  mentioned  previously  that  scheduling 
broadcast  TV  offerings  in  a  school  was  one  of 
the  major  obstacles  to  their  general  use.  Tele- 
casts now  require  that  all  students  must  be  ready 
to  view  a  program  when  it  is  on  the  air,  or  when 
it  is  placed  on  the  cable  from  the  originating 
studio  in  a  school.  Video  tape  devices  have  been 
heralded  as  a  solution  to  this  problem.  Current 
models,  however,  while  highly  successful  for 
commercial  applications  are  still  rather  expen- 
sive for  general  acceptance  for  use  with  educa- 
tional projects  (Figure  8).  Recently  R.C.A. 
demonstrated  an  experimental  prototype  video 
tape  machine  which  has  been  designed  to  sell  for 
around  .'$10,000.  Although  the  quality  of  the 
recordings  will  be  somewhat  below  commercial 
standards,  the  results  should  be  quite  satisfactory 
for  most  educational  purposes.  With  such  ma- 

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  May,    1959 


chines  in  schools,  television  in  education  will 
take  on  a  flexibility  that  up  to  now  has  been 
only  a  dream. 

How  Many  Channels  Are  Needed? 

Some  cities  have  already  activated  two  educa- 
tional TV  stations  in  order  to  provide  sufficient 
programming  time  for  use  with  schools.  Such 
expanded  facilities  are  only  a  beginning.  It  is 
not  yet  known  how  many  channels  will  be 
needed  to  allow  TV  to  make  its  optimum  con- 
tribution when  utilization  approaches  its  peak. 
Even  the  persons  concerned  with  the  Hagers- 
town  installation  (with  access  to  five  closed- 
circuit  channels)  are  considering  the  possibilities 
of  adding  telecasting  facilities. 

Several  suggestions  have  been  advanced  to  help 
provide  additional  channels.  These  range  from 
the  more  extensive  use  of  low-power  transmitters 
with  limited  coverage  to  the  employment  of 
satellite  and  translator  facilities.  An  unusual 
approach  to  the  problem  has  been  made  by  the 
Blonder-Tongue  Laboratories  (Figure  9).  An 
experimental  electronic  arrangement  makes  it 
possible  to  send  out  two  different  programs  si- 
multaneously over  a  single  transmission  channel. 
It  has  been  suggested  that  when  fully  developed, 
a  commercial  station  could  use  the  "a"  section 
of  its  channel  for  regular  programming  while 
the  "b"  section  could  be  used  for  educational 
purposes. 

The  Designs  Are  Still  Being  Formed 

The  purpose  of  this  presentation  is  in  the 
nature  of  an  interim  report.  It  is  difficult  to  cover 
all  of  the  developments  occurring  within  the  last 
year  or  so  in  this  space  —  or  to  even  put  them 
into  proper  perspective.  This  is  the  responsibility 
of  the  individual.  It  is  important,  however,  to 
take  note  of  the  trends  and  to  help  direct  their 
future  course,  rather  than  to  wait  until  the  pat- 
terns have  crystallized  without  the  active  par- 
ticipation and  guidance  of  the  educator.

architectural  solutions  for  audiovisual  problems 


Only  One  Stop  For 
Instructional  Materials 


by  Paul  C.  Reed 


T 

JLHE  library  in  Rochester's  new  East  High 
School  will  be  called  a  "library."  In  lact,  it  will 
be  known  as  the  Albert  H.  Wilcox  Library  in 
memory  of  the  loved  and  respected  scholar  and 
leader  who  served  as  the  first  principal  of  that 
school  for  nearly  forty  years.  However,  the  main 
library  reading  room  has  been  planned  in  rela- 
tion to  the  adjacent  rooms  so  that  the  whole  will 
serve  as  an  instructional  materials  resource  cen- 
ter. It  is  designed  to  serve  the  needs  of  every 
Department,  and  to  serve  effectively  all  the 
teachers  and  pupils  of  the  school. 

In  its  original  report,*  the  Audiovisual  Com- 
mittee for  the  new  school  conceived  of  this  com- 
bination facility  as  a  "one-stop  service"  for  in- 
structional materials.  In  addition  to  the  tradi- 
tional library  services,  the  Committee  specified 
the  audiovisual  functions  to  be  carried  on  from 
this  central  point  as  follows: 

1.  To  provide  teachers  with  complete  informa- 
tion of  all  ready-made  audiovisual  materials 
available  to  teachers  from  within  and  outside 
the  building. 

2.  To  file  and  loan  on  request  to  teachers 
such  school  owned  audiovisual  materials  as  flat 
pictures,  charts,  slides,  filmstrips,  records. 

3.  Upon  teacher  request  to  obtain  from  the 
Central  Office  and  other  places  outside  the  build- 
ing such  audiovisual  materials  as  motion  pictures, 
recordings,  etc. 

4.  To  make  originals  and  reproductions  of 
chart,  map,  and  photographic  materials  at  the 
request  of  teachers. 

5.  To  assist  teachers  in  making  all  kinds  of 
audiovisual  materials  needed  for  instruction  — 
maps,  charts,  2x2  transparencies,  etc. 

6.  To  provide  for  maximum  mobility  of  all

audiovisual  equipment  in  the  building,  its  assign- 
ment upon  demand,  and  its  basic  control  and 
maintenance. 

7.  To  assist  teachers  in  the  selection  and  most 
appropriate  use  of  all  audiovisual  materials. 

As  you  examine  the  accompanying  floor  plan 
drawing,  you  will  see  how  well  Faragher  and 
Macomber,  the  architects,  have  planned  the 
building  facilities  to  serve  the  clearly  stated 
purjioses  for  which  they  are  intended.  Note  par- 
ticularly how  they  have  provided  for  flexibility, 
and  designed  the  space  to  serve  not  only  func- 
tionally but  to  attract  both  teachers  and  pupils. 
Look  at  these  features: 

The  twenty  foot  glassed  showcase  entrance 
alluringly  invites  all  who  pass  to  come  inside 
to  read  and  study. 

The  listening  area  for  record  and  tape  listen- 
ing can  be  expanded  or  contracted  to  meet 
needs.  There  are  no  special  cubicles.  Recordings 
will  be  heard  through  earphones  from  one  or 
several  players.

Floor  plan  for  East  High  School's  instruc- 
tional materials  resource  center.  Local  archi- 
tects Faragher  and  Macomber  retained 
Moore  and  Hutchins  of  New  York  City  as 
consultants.  At  right  is  a  drawing  of  the 
library  entrance. 


Not  showing  in  the  drawing,  beyond  the  li- 
brary room  at  the  extreme  right,  is  a  large  study- 
hall  classroom.  This  room  can  be  added  to  or 
subtracted  from  the  main  reading  room  by  a 
drapery  at  the  windows  between  the  rooms.  The 
study  room  itself  is  divided  by  a  folding  parti- 
tion. 

Principal  lures  for  teachers  to  the  instruc- 
tional materials  center  are  the  Teachers  Profes- 
sional Library  and  the  Preview  and  Conference 
Room.  Individual  teachers  and  groups  will  use 
these  attractive  quarters  for  instructional  plan- 
ning. Although  these  rooms  may  be  reached 
through  the  Library,  it  is  more  likely  teachers 
will  use  the  back  door  through  the  workroom. 
The  isolated  location  of  the  Teacher  Library 
was  planned.  Teachers  sometimes  like  to  get 
away   from   other   people! 

The  workroom  is  conceived  as  a  place  where 
teachers  may  work  to  make  their  own  instruc- 
tional materials  or  to  have  them  made.  It  also 
serves  as  a  library  workroom  for  book  processing. 
It  is  spacious  with  a  minimum  of  built-in  shelv- 
ing and  counter  space.  Tables  and  files  are  pro- 
vided and  other  equipment  will  be  supplied  as 
specific  needs  develop. 

The  photographic  dark  room  is  large,  with 
plans  available  for  converting  it  to  two  dark- 
rooms if  they  are  needed. 

The  area  labeled  "stacks"  is  for  the  storage 
and  distribution  of  sets  of  literature  and  supple- 


mentary books  used  primarily  with  English  and 
social  studies  classes. 

You  may  be  wondering  at  this  point  why  there 
is  no  apparent  provision  for  the  storage  of  audio- 
visual equipment.  In  most  av  centers  there  is 
never  enough  space  for  this;  and  the  movement 
of  equipment  between  the  center  and  classrooms 
is  one  of  the  constant  chores  for  pupils  in  the 
projection  club.  But  if  you  read  the  first  article 
in  this  series,  the  one  titled  "Each  Room  an 
AV  Room"  on  pages  126-7  of  the  March  issue, 
you  will  recall  that  audiovisual  equipment  is 
to  be  supplied  in  more-than-usual  quantities 
for  this  school.  It  is  planned  that  this  equip- 
ment will  not  be  returned  to  a  central  storage 
point  at  the  end  of  each  day.  Only  extra  and 
emergency  equipment  will  be  at  the  center;  the 
rest  will  be  assigned  to  Departments  for  long 
term  periods,  and  will  be  located  close  to  the 
points  where  it  is  used. 

In  planning  for  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials in  East  High  School,  it  was  recognized 
that  the  classroom  was  the  critical  point  in 
the  instructional  program.  It  is  here  where 
teachers  bring  instructional  materials  into  con- 
tact with  learners.  The  classroom  must  be 
planned  to  make  it  just  as  easy  as  possible  to 
use  instructional  materials  once  they  are 
brought  in.  Other  facilities  must  be  provided

The  Versatile 

Overhead 

Projector 


HE  overhead  transparency  projector  is  one 
of  the  most  versatile  audiovisual  tools  available 
for  classroom  use.  It  can  be  operated  by  the 
instructor  without  assistance  as  he  faces  his  stu- 
dents, maintaining  eye  contact,  measuring  stu- 
dent reaction,  and  pacing  himself  accordingly. 
The  transparencies  used  can  be  vivid,  clear, 
lifelike,  and  easy  to  project,  even  in  a  lighted 


room.  Dramatic  results  can  be  achieved  with 
minimum  effort,  and  great  variety  in  presenta- 
tion techniques  is  possible.  Ways  of  achieving 
limited  animation  are  available  —  the  simple 
"strip  tease"  and  "flip-on"  methods  of  progres- 
sive disclosure,  operable  plastic  transparencies, 
Visamatic  and  Technimation  treatments,  to  name 
some  of  them.  A  china  marker  and  the  cello- 
phane roll  permit  use  of  the  projector  much 
like  a  chalkboard;  pressure  sensitive  materials, 
bits  of  colored  plastic,  and  even  liquids  may  be 
used.  Various  easily  made,  even  "homemade," 
transparencies  give  the  instructor  a  wealth  of 
variety  in  presentation  that  is  limited  only  by  his 
imagination  and  by  the  ingenuity  of  the  visual- 
izers  and  artists  in  the  audiovisual  center  that 
supports  him.  The  transparencies  can  be  used 
in  any  order,  with  the  return  to  a  previously 
used  projectible  an  easy  matter.  The  large  aper- 
ture permits  most  efficient  use  of  the  available 
light. 

At  the  U.  S.  Army  Command  and  General 
Staff  College,  the  transparency  for  overhead  pro- 
jection is  the  most  used  of  some  30  audiovisual 
materials.  The  College  realizes  that  the  jiroper 
use  of  effective  audiovisuals  can  result  in  more 
effective  communication  and,  therefore,  more 
efficient  teaching  and  more  rapid  learning  .  .  . 
learning  that  is  retained  significantly  longer 
than  learning  acquired  through  purely  verbal 
experiences.  And  when  one  must  teach  an  ever- 
increasing  amount  of  material  more  effectively 
in  a  given  time  frame,  one  turns  to  audiovisual 
aids  among  these  several  applications  of  the 
overhead  projector. 

The  effectiveness  of  any  projected  image  de- 
pends to  a  great  degree  upon  adequate  image 
brightness  and  its  visibility  to  all  within  the 
classroom.  The  screen  size  is  usually  determined 
by  the  6W  formula  which  prescribes  that  the 
screen  width  should  be  one-sixth  the  distance  to 
the  furthest  viewer.  No  viewer  should  be  closer 
than  two  screen  widths,  or  at  worst,  one  screen 
width.  Text  projected  upon  this  screen  requires 
a  letter  height  of  one  inch  for  a  32-foot  viewing 
distance;  two  inches  for  64-foot  viewing.  This 
includes  a  built-in  safety  factor  for  poor  eyes 
and  use  of  bold  colors.  Thus,  using  a  9i/2-inch 
wide  transparency,  a  5/32-inch  high  letter  on 
the  transparency  will  guarantee  that  the  text  is 
legible  to  all,  presuming,  of  course,  a  clean,  open, 
sans  serif,  medium  condensed  letter.  If  both 
upper  and  lower  case  letters  are  involved,  the 
5/32-inch  criteria  pertains  to  the  lower  case 
letters;  if  symbols,  to  the  smallest  feature  to  be 
discriminated. 

An  ideal  situation  would  utilize  a  triangular 
classroom  with  the  screen  at  the  vertex.  A  rec- 
tangular or  square  room  is  more  often  available, 
and  in  it  the  screen  normally  should  be  in  a 
front  corner.  The  lower  edge  of  the  screen  sur- 
face must  be  high  enough  for  all  students  to 
have  an  unobstructed  view  of  the  whole  screen. 
Front  surface  projection,  with  a  standing  instruc- 
tor, jjrovides  unusual  viewing  problems,  de- 
pending ui)on  the  viewing  distance,  screen  size, 
and  degree  of  keystone  elimination  required.  It 
can  lead  to  some  very  high  and  sharply  tilted 
screens  and  similarly  tilted  projectors.  Pointers 
and  materials  cannot  be  laid  on  a  sliarply  tilted 
projection  stage.  If  it  is  presumed  that  the  in-

A  Bell  Hall  Classroom 


Shown  are  two  triangular  rooms,  with  a  projec- 
tion booth  between  (1).  The  rooms  feature  in- 
structor-operated rear  screen  overhead  transpar- 
ency projection  (2).  Students  are  oriented  on  the 
lectern  at  the  apex  of  a  triangle,  and  are  within 
the  90°  included  viewing  angles  of  the  magnet- 
responsive  chart  panels  (3),  most  of  the  chalk- 
board (4),  and  the  rear  and  front  screen  surfaces. 
An  electrically  operated  matte  surface  screen  (5) 
drops  in  front  of  the  lenticulated  wide-angle  dark 
grey  Klearcite  rear  projection  screen  (6).  Both 
green  and  projection-white  ("magic  wall")  chalk- 
board are  available,  the  latter  in  size  7.5'  x  10'. 
No  student  is  farther  from  normal  projected  im- 
ages than  six  times  the  width  of  the  smallest 
image  used  on  all  projection  surfaces.  Lighting 
is  controllable,  "bright"  (48  foot-candles),  "dim" 
(6-10  fooKandles),  and  "off,"  all  from  the  lectern 
and  jjodium.  Slides  and  motion  pictures  can  be 
projected  on  the  walls:  display  panel  attachment 
clips  arc  provided  on  the  tackboard  trim.  Over- 
head "blacklite"  fixtures  are  installed,  as  are  panel 
lights.  Portable  extra  wide  angle  overhead  trans- 
parency projection  equipment,  commercial  opaque 
projectors,    and    sound    equipment    are    provided 


The  9  by  9  foot  overhead  transparency  rear 
projection  screen  (1)  can  be  operated  by  the  in- 
structor at  the  projector  (2)  or  behind  the  lectern 
(3).  The  level  projector  stand  (4)  matches  the 
lectern.  Selectively  switched  ceiling  lights,  pro- 
jectors, etc.,  can  be  controlled  from  the  lectern 
or  face  of  chart  panel  hideaway  (5).  An  8  by  10 
foot  projection  white  porcelain  enamel  steel  chalk- 
board (6)  is  centered  on  the  front  wall.  Four  large 
chart  panels  are  provided,  two  (7  and  8)  with  iron 
screen  over  tackboard  to  permit  use  of  magnetic 
aids  over  tacked-up  charts,  one  (9)  with  inset 
piece  of  green  steel  chalkboard,  and  one  (10)  with 
a  second  projection  white  chalkboard.  Panels 
slide  to  expose  any  two  at  a  time.  From  the  center 
aisle  a  standard  overhead  projector  (11),  and  from 
closer  in,  a  wide  angle  projector  (12)  can  be  used 
for  additional  images  on  surfaces  which  can  ac- 
commodate simultaneously  chalk,  charcoal,  mag- 
netic aids,  and  "blacklite"  materials.  "Blacklite" 
source  is  behind  panel  light  cove  (13).  A  large 
fixed  green  chalkboard  (14)  is  provided.  A  mov- 
able lectern  (15)  and  instructor's  lockable  bookcase 
(16)  are  at  right.  Dimmable  spotlight  (17)  is  pro- 
vided in  some  cases.  The  room  is  equipped  with 
curtains  on  tracks  (18).  Some  light  baffles  (19-20) 
are  also  acoustical.  Tables  (21-22)  are  provided  as 
is  an  assignment    board   (23). 


structor  must  stand  (all  USA  CGSC  instructors 
stand  during  formal  instruction),  a  solution  to 
some  of  these  problems  is  use  of  a  suitably 
large  vertical  screen,  off  to  the  side  of  the  in- 
structor, using  a  special  instructor-operated  rear 
screen   projection   system. 

The  particular  system  discussed  below  en- 
tails a  projection  situation  in  a  room  with  a 
12i/2-foot  ceiling  beam,  a  54-foot  viewing  dis- 
tance, necessitating  a  nine  by  nine  foot  screen. 
The  instructor  stands  on  an  18-inch  podium, 
either  at  a  lectern  or  between  tiie  lectern  and 
the  screen,  facing  his  class  and  using  the  over- 
head projector  so  that  it  produces  a  clear  image 
without  keystoning  from  a  perfectly  level  ele- 
vated projection  stage.  He  can  move  freely  about 
the  stage,  writing,  drawing,  using  progressive 
disclosure,  and  pointing,  either  on  the  transpar- 
ency with  a  colored  transparent  plastic  pointer. 


or  at  the  screen  image  itself  with  a  longer 
opaque  felt-tipped  pointer. 

Tne  room  has  a  window  wall  with  audio- 
visual blinds.  The  blinds  are  not  as  effective  as 
well-installed  opaque  draw  curtains,  but  they 
do  serve  to  reduce  room  ambient  light  on  the 
screen  and  other  projection  surfaces  to  about 
one  footcandle.  This  is  not  dark  enough  for 
the  best  opaque  projection,  or  under-exposed 
color  film,  but  it  is  more  than  adequate  for  the 
most  colorful  diazochrome  transparencies  when 
a  well  designed  and  efficient  overhead  projector 
is  used. 

The  instructor  has  selective  switching  control 
of  fluorescent  lighting,  to  give  48  footcandles 
on  the  tabletops  for  detailed  reading;  a  medium 
level  of  25-30  for  black  and  white  projection 
and  casual  reading;  12-18  for  projection  of  mixed 
color  and  black  and   white   line  material  with

Standard  Signal  Corps  equipment  commonly  called  the 
"Vu-graph."  This  unit  is  completely  instructor  oper- 
ated. A  continuous  acetate  roll  is  part  of  the  unit  and 
may  be  rolled  across  the  projection  stage.  This  may 
be  written  on  with  "grease"  pencils. 


Remote  Control  Slide  Projector 

This  automatic  projector  will  project  30  35mni  slides 
from  each  magazine.  All  slides  used  at  one  time  must 
be  bound  in  identical  mounts,  so  as  to  prevent  irregu- 
larities in  focus.  The  unit  is  initially  set  up  by  a 
trained  projectionist,  but  the  instructor  has  complete 
operational  control.  The  slides  can  be  set  to  change 
automatically  at  intervals  of  6  or  14  seconds,  or  the 
instructor  can  advance  each  slide  by  a  touch  of  the 
hand  control.  Slide  magazine  may  be  moved  forward 
or  backward  by  the  remote  control.  The  projector  is 
shown  mounted  on  a  mobile  projector  table. 


cursory  reatling;  and,  finally,  lights  out  for  full 
color  and  opaque  projection.  Naturally  less 
than  half  the  tabletop  light  falls  on  the  vertical 
dark  grey  screen. 

The  projection  system  involves  a  very  efficient 
750-watt  o\erhead  projector  with  an  1/3.0  lens 
ol  18-inch  El-'L,  placed  on  special  furniture  to 
permit  a  throw  via  a  seven-foot  square,  '4 -inch 
thick,  rear  surface,  plate  glass  mirror,  to  a  flexible 
Polacoat  lenscreen  which  permits  room  occu- 
pants within  an  included  angle  of  •)()  degrees 
to  see  very  well.  For  a  portable  installation,  a 
more  durable  surface,  lenticulated  Klearcite, 
WDM,  is  almost  equally  good.  Money  permitting, 
a  rigid  screen  can  be  used  effectively,  and  would 
permit  the  instructor  to  point  directly  at  the 
screen  with  greater  abandon.  Similarly,  a  front 
surfaced  mirror  would  give  a  more  ]3erfect  image, 
but  the  material  described  gives  an  adequate 
one.  The  framing  details  are  simple.  A  ceiling 
piece  keeps  ambient  room  light  from  the  back  of 
the  screen  and  the  grey  screen  color  minimizes 
the  effect  of  frontal  ambient  light. 

Since  the  optical  axis  is  slightly  inclined  up- 
ward to  the  mirror,  a  downward  tilt  of  the 
mirror  is  built  into  the  framing,  to  prevent  key- 
stoning. 

Any  efficient  projector  for  transparencies, 
slides,  or  film,  when  once  placed  on  the  estab- 
lished optical  axis  of  the  system,  and  given  the 
proper  lens-screen-distance  relationship,  can  be 
used.  If  several  projectors  were  to  be  used  side 
by  side,  a  pivoting  of  the  mirror  would  be  re- 
cjuired,  of  course. 

Each  of  the  24  classrooms  in  Bell  Hall,  and 
two  in  Muir  Hall,  in  addition  to  the  system 
described,  are  equipped  with  one  or  two  projec- 
tion-white porcelain-on-steel  chalkboards  used 
as  projection  surfaces  for  remote  instructor  con- 
trolled 16-mm  motion  pictures,  two  by  two  inch 
(35-mm)  slide  projection  from  the  rear  of  the 
room,  and  for  additional  overhead  projection 
from  the  front  of  the  room.  Terrain  and  charts 
are  projected,  and  solutions  or  other  data  are 
added  by  colored  chalk  or  charcoal  or  blacklite 
materials  as  well  as  by  means  of  magnetic  aids. 
The  surface  is  a  fine  multipurpose  aid  to  instruc- 
tion. It  can  be  erased  with  a  combination  rubber 
and  suede  eraser. 

In  some  cases  lenses  up  to  40-inch  EFL  are 
used  for  long  throws  over  the  heads  of  the  stu- 
dents in  auditoriums  and  briefing  rooms  to 
accommodate  guest  speakers  who  bring  transpar- 
encies instead  of  the  usual  slides. 

Two  dimmer-controlled  projectors,  focused  to 
give  overlapping  images,  are  used  where  large- 
image  "fades"  and  "dissolves"  or  other  special 
effects  are  required.  Also,  two  projectors  giving 
side-by-side  images,  rear  or  front  projection,  are 
used  to  make  comparisons,  provide  dual  images, 
or  where  smooth  and  rapid  transitions  from 
image  to  image  are  required  for  high-level  pres- 
entations. 

At  USA  CGSC  specific  projectors  are  used  for 
specific  jobs.  There  is  neither  time  nor  personnel 
available  to  convert  one  projector  to  a  multiplic- 
ity of  uses  within  the  already  crowded  class- 
room hour,  an  hour  in  which  every  moment 
must  be  used  efficiently  by  the  instructor  to  sell 
an  instructional  point  ...  to  make  a  learning 
experience  a  memorable  and  effective  one.

School   children    leam   about   their 
city's  fire  department  at  close  range. 


X  'M  sold  on  the  values  of  field  trips,"  the 
superintendent  said,  "but  I  wonder  why  80  per- 
cent of  the  school  journeys  take  place  in  May 
and   June." 

Certainly  when  good  weather  comes,  students 
and  teachers  alike  yearn  for  the  out-of-doors. 
Winter  weather  does  limit  some  types  of  educa- 
tional journeys  but  most  field  trips  can  be  ex- 
perienced during  any  season. 

"If  field  trips  are  legitimate  educational  tools," 
the  superintendent  continued,  "shouldn't  visita- 
tion be  going  on  throughout  the  year?" 

Such  questions  are  being  asked  more  and 
more  frequently  with  good  reason.  Because  the 
field  trip  method  is  widely  accepted,  school 
journeys  are  becoming  more  common.  Giving 
youngsters  an  opportunity  to  learn  firsthand 
about  their  community  rates  high  as  a  vital 
method  of  instruction;  but  some  of  the  practices 
which  go  on  under  the  name  of  educational  field 
trips  need  objective  examination.  Outings  which 
have  as  their  primary  purpose  rewarding  young- 
sters for  good  behavior,  or  trips  which  are  not 
an  integral  part  of  a  topic  under  study  in  the 
classroom  should  be  subjected  to  close  examina- 
tion. School  outings  and  picnics  have  a  social- 
izing function  and  there  are  opportunities  for 
learning  experiences,  but  such  outings  should 
not  be   labeled   as  field   trips. 

What  questions  should  we  ask  ourselves  to 
make  certain  we  are  utilizing  the  field  trip 
method  to  the  fullest?  Here  are  some  questions 


Are  Field  Trips 
Worth  While? 


#*.: 


by  William  C.  Miller 


designed   to  help  evaluate   field   trip  practices. 

Did  the  need  for  this  field  trip  grow  out  of 
regular  classroom   work? 

Is  a  field  trip  the  best  method  of  gaining  the 
needed  information?  Perhaps  a  motion  picture 
could  present  the  same  information  as  effec- 
tively or  resource  people  could  be  brought  in 
at  a  great  saving  of  time  and  money.) 

Am  I  familiar  with  the  place  to  be  visited 
so  that  I  know  what  will  be  seen?  (A  prior  visit 
will  help  when  it  comes  time  to  prepare  the 
group.  Contacting  the  place  to  be  visited  and 
informing  them  of  the  particular  needs  and  in- 
terests of  the  group  is  also  time  well  spent.) 

Have  I  prepared  the  group  for  the  field  trip 
experience?  (The  group  will  profit  most  if  they 
have  specific  information  to  look  for  and  if 
they  have  discussed  the  most  effective  ways  to 
observe   and   take   notes.) 

Was  everyone  able  to  see  and  hear  satisfactorily 
during  the  field  trip?  Was  time  allowed  for 
questions  and  did  the  questions  reflect  an  under- 
standing of  what  was   observed? 

Were  the  observations  made  during  the  trip 
discussed  upon  returning  to  the  classroom  and 
did  the  group  engage  in  other  follow-up  activi- 
ties? 

By  asking  ourselves  these  questions  we  can 
properly  evaluate  our  field  trip  practices.  By 
having  frequent  and  well-planned  field  trips,  we 
can  provide  the  best  possible  educational  ex- 
periences for  oiu"  pupils.

American  Film  Festival  Premiere! 


A. 


.PRIL  1-4  saw  the  Inauguration  of  the 
American  Fihn  Festival,  sponsored  by  the  Edu- 
cational Film  Library  Association  under  the 
direction  of  Emily  S.  Jones.  More  than  40  16mm 
films,  from  a  field  which  had  been  pre-screened 
to  250,  received  Blue  Ribbons  at  the  Gala  Award 
banquet,  where  the  awards  were  presented  by 
Dr.  Irene  Cypher  (New  York  University  and 
Educational  Screen  ir  AUDIOVISUAL  Guide), 
Mrs.  Grace  Stevenson  (American  Library  Associ- 
ation), Cecile  Starr  (Saturday  Review),  Dr.  John 
Bachman  (Union  Theological  Seminary),  How- 
ward  Thompson  (16mm  reviewer,  New  York 
Times)  and   Darryl    Miller    (American    ^fedical 


Association).  These  films  and  filmstrips,  listed 
below,  will  later  be  screened  at  film  festivals  in 
Los  Angeles,  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  Chicago, 
Muncie,  Ind.,  Minneapolis,  and  other  cities. 
Highlighting  the  Festival  was  the  presence  of 
many  leaders  of  the  film  field.  Also,  Martha 
Graham  accepted  the  award  for  "A  Dancer's 
World"  in  person  (see  opposite  page).  Addi- 
tional jjleasine  for  those  attending  was  provided 
by  two  programs  sponsored  by  the  American

At  the  EFLA  annual  meeting,  past  president 
Edwin  Welke  of  the  University  of  Minnesota 
related  the  history  and  development  of  the  Fes- 
tival. Officials  and  exhibitors  for  the  most  part 
felt  that  the  success  of  the  1959  American  Film 
Festival  should  lead  to  bigger  and  better  things 
ahead.

of  audiovisual  directors;  organiza- 
tional patterns  for  audiovisual  (and 
instructional  materials)  programs; 
inservice  education  of  teachers:  ac- 
quisition, care,  and  maintenance  of 
equipment;  evaluation,  selection,

able physical  facilities;  planning 
and  operation  of  audiovisual  cen- 
ters; budgeting;  and  the  develop- 
ment of  lay  luiderstanding  and 
support. 

Noting  the  complexity  of  the 
audiovisual  diiector's  job,  the  au- 
thor describes  the  director's  roles 
as  executive,  supervisor,  audiovisual 
sjjecialist,  and  equipment  techni- 
cian; but  he  also  ein])hasizes,  de- 
sirably, that  the  director  is  first 
and  foremost  a  curricidum  spe- 
cialist and  that  he  should  function 
as  a  member  of  the  curriculum 
team.  In  keeping  with  modern  con- 
cepts of  sujjervision,  the  author 
makes  clear  that  the  tlirccior's  job 
is  to  help  teachers  select  and  use 
audiovisual  materials  "for  greater 
valid  achievement."  He  points  out 
that  it  is  fatal  for  the  director  to 
tlevote  his  time  and  energy  to  ecjuip- 
ment  repair  and  routine  duties. 

Erickson  recognizes  that  audio- 
visual programs  are  not  develo])cd 
"by  the  numbers,"  but  in  terms  o( 
clearly  defined  goals,  on  the  basis 
of  principles,  and  with  reference  to 
local  needs  and  conditions.  In  his 
words,  "It  is  the  purpose  of  this 
book  to  open  up  clusters  of  prob- 
lems likely  to  confront  the  school 
system  audiovisual  specialist  and 
to  point  out  fruitful  lines  of  attack 
on  these  problems,  but  it  will  be 
the  degree  to  which  the  director 
(an  identify  his  local  problems  in 
terms  of  clear-cut  needs  and  the 
degree  to  which  he  can  set  up  his 
own  purposes  for  action  that  will 
determine  his  effectiveness."  To 
jjerform  his  duties  effectively  the 
audiovisual  director  needs,  accord 
ing  to  the  author,  ".  .  .  penetrating 
insight  into  the  processes  of  teach- 
ing and  learning  .  .  .  broad  under- 
standing of  the  roles  that  audio 
visual  materials  play  in  helping 
teachers,  and  .  .  .  ability  to  apply 
a  system  of  principles  in  guiding 
his  thinking  about  the  utilization 
of  the  materials  he  will  seek  to 
provide." 

Effective  programs  do  not  just 
happen,  they  are  the  result  of  lead- 
ership, "friendly,  understanding, 
capable,  democratic  leadership.' 
This  book  should  contribute  sig 
nificantly  to  the  development  ol 
leaders  in  audiovisual  instruction^ 
who  have  these  attributes.  We  ur'l 
gently  need  them.

One  Stop  for  Materials 

(Continued  from  pnge  241) 

lo  expedite  getting  the  materials 
to  the  classroom. 

The  sight  and  soimd  distributing 
ladlities,  discussed  in  the  second 
of  this  series  of  articles  published 
last  month,  were  designed  to  bring 
ihc  "intangible"  materials  into  the 
classrooms  —  the  soimds  and  visual 
images.  Radio  and  other  sound  pro- 
grams come  into  the  classrooms 
through  a  central  sound  system  at 
the  teacher's  request  and  for  his 
instructional  use.  Through  cen- 
tralized closed  circuit  television 
facilities,  television  programs  come 
into  the  classroom  from  remote 
parts  of  the  building,  the  commu- 
nity, or  the  nation.  They  come  as 
instructional  materials  to  be  used 
by  the  teacher  as  he  needs  them. 
The  sight  and  sound  system  serves 
classroom  instructional  needs. 

Similarly,  the  instructional  ma- 
terials resources  center  described 
here  is  conceived  as  a  service  facil- 
ity to  meet  the  needs  of  the  class- 
room instructional  program.  It  will 
service  the  "tangible"  instructional 
materials.  It  will  be  the  center  for 
nformation  about  all  available 
materials.  It  will  be  a  materials 
storage,  ordering,  and  distribution 
center  where,  ideally,  teachers  may 
but  express  the  need  for  specific 
instructional  materials,  and  those 
needs  will  be  filled.  Ideally,  also, 
the  center  will  serve  as  a  place 
where  teachers  may  make  or  have 
made  those  graphic  and  photo- 
graphic materials  that  are  unique 
to  their  needs  and  must  be  created 
to  their  order.  Backing  up  this 
school  resources  center  will  be  the 
resources  of  the  school  system's  De- 
partment of  Instructional  Mate- 
rials serving  the  needs  of  all  schools. 

Quoted  on  the  first  page  of  the 
Committee's  report  that  set  down 
the  basic  principles,  ideas,  and 
ideals  for  the  audiovisual  facilities 
that  have  been  built  into  this  new 
school,  are  these  words  from  the 
Thirty-first  Yearbook,  1953,  of  the 
.\merican  Association  of  School 
.\dministrators:  "The  newer  con- 
ception of  materials  needed  for 
instruction  will  affect  the  design  of 
school   buildings." 

This  happened  in  Rochester. 
Certainly  the  Board  of  Education, 
the  Superintendent  and  all  of  the 
tafl  concerned  with  the  new  school 
unilerstand  clearly  this  "newer  con- 
eption."  They  understand  that  if 
teachers  are  to  do  their  best  teach- 
ing, teachers  have  a  right  to  ready 


access  to  whatever  instructional  ma- 
terials they  need  when  they  need 
them.  .Administration  has  a  respon- 
sibility to  recognize  these  rights  of 
teachers  and  to  fill  these  needs. 
Rochester's  Board  of  administra- 
tion also  recognizes  that  teachers 
need  and  will  use  all  kinds  of  in- 
structional materials  when  they  are 
made  readily  availalbe;  and  that 
these  materials  must  be  carefully 
and  closely  interrelated  at  the  point 
of  use. 

The  "newer  conception  of  mate- 
rials needed  for  instruction"  aflect- 
ed  the  design  of  East  High  .School. 
Its  form  and  design  evolved  from 
the  specific  learning  and  teaching 
activities   that  were   to   be   carried 


on  within  the  building.  The  plan- 
ning of  its  classrooms  and  the  plan- 
ning of  the  facilities  to  serve  those 
classrooms  not  only  will  make  it 
possible  lor  teachers  to  make  use 
of  audiovisual  materials,  the  build- 
ing itself  will  urge  teachers  to  use 
them.

articles.  And  the  second  footnote  is  a  very 
personal  one.  To  understand  my  real  and 
devoted  interest  to  the  plans  for  this  new 
school,  you  should  know  that  I  was  grad- 
uated from  the  old  East  High  School  and 
it  was  there  I  was  first  a  teacher!  PCR)

FILM  EVALUATIONS

Scene  from  "Burden  of  Truth" 


Burden  of  Truth 

(United  Steel  Workers  of  America, 
1500  Commonwealth  Building,  Pitts- 
burgh 22,  Pennsylvania)  67  minutes, 
16mm,  sound,  b&w,  1957.  Apply  to

Produced  by  Allend'or  Productions. 
Teacher's  guide  available. 

Description 

This  film  focuses  on  the  theme  of 
anti-Negro  discriminations  and  segre- 
gation in  American  life  and  challenges 
the  viewers  to  accept  the  burden  of 
truth.  It  assembles  correlated  incidents 
to  represent  a  pattern  that  operates  in 
the  society  and  through  its  character- 
izations it  presents  prevailing  senti- 
ments and  practices  along  with  the 
usual  arguments  which  are  used  to 
justify  their  existence.  Joe  Hamilton, 
a  Negro  youth,  is  presented  as  the 
central  character  of  the  plot  and  his 
experiences  are  dramatized  first  as  a 
janitor  of  a  saloon  in  his  Southern 
hometown,  then  as  a  working  college 
student  in  a  northern  university,  and 
later  as  an  industrial  worker  in  a 
northern  city.  Burden  of  Truth  deals 
with  Joe's  courtship  of  Ella  Mae,  his 
vocational  adjustment,  and  his  housing 
and  social  adjustment.  In  each  situa- 
tion the  interaction  of  the  people 
shows   varying   degrees   of   acceptance 


and  rejection  toward  Joe,  and  the  story 
points  up  the  dilemma  of  whether  Joe 
should  be  accepted  as  a  person,  or 
should  be  perceived  as  a  Negro  symbol 
which  should  be  rejected  and  avoided. 

The  opening  scene  of  the  film  shows 
Joe  and  Ella  Mae,  his  wife,  besieged 
in  their  newly  acquired  home  in  a 
white  neighborhood  by  the  white 
neighbors  who  strongly  object  to  hav- 
ing a  Negro  family  in  the  block.  While 
Joe  and  Ella  Mae  prepare  to  unpack 
their  belongings,  a  stone  is  thrown 
through  the  window  as  the  angry 
neighbors  mill  around  outside  the 
house.  Ella  Mae  leaves  the  room  to 
comfort  their  baby  who  is  awakened 
by  the  confusion.  As  Joe  begins  to 
remove  the  broken  glass  near  the 
smashed  window,  Ella  Mae  calls,  "Joe, 
be  careful."  The  words  "be  careful" 
set  Joe  to  thinking  of  similar  condi- 
tions of  racial  conflict  and  animosity 
in  his  hometown.  As  he  squats  in  the 
scattered  array  of  smashed  glass,  a 
sequence  of  scenes  flashes  back  to  a 
saloon  in  a  southern  town  where  Joe 
is  painting  a  door,  and  the  owner  of 
the  tavern  tells  Joe,  "Be  careful  of 
that  glass,"  and  do  not  get  paint  on  it. 

As  he  carefully  paints  the  door  a 
little  Negro  boy  who  has  not  learned 
the  doctrine  of  segregation,  runs  to  a 
public  fountain  to  drink  water  but  is 


halted  by  his  father.  Two  white  men 
demand  that  the  father  spank  his  son 
to  teach  him  his  place.  When  the 
Negro  man's  excuse  for  his  son  is  not 
accepted  by  his  tormentors,  in  humili- 
ation and  resignation  the  father  ad- 
ministers the  spanking  to  the  son  and 
only  then  is  he  allowed  to  retreat  from 
the  unpleasant  situation,  followed  by 
the  laughter  of  the  amused  white  men. 

Following  are  scenes  which  repre- 
sent the  feelings  and  behavior  of  south- 
ern workers  towards  Negroes.  At  the 
bar  a  worker  reports  on  his  encounter 
with  a  union  organizer.  Tliis  scene 
represents  the  objection  to  union  or- 
ganization in  that  Negroes  would  work 
beside  whites  and  that  equal  pay  to 
all  workers  would  remove  the  inequal- 
ities between  the  groups.  It  is  further 
stated  that  since  Negroes  need  less 
than  whites  it  would  be  unfair  to 
allow  them  to  earn  white  man's  pay. 

Upon  leaving  the  saloon  the  two 
men  who  expressed  a  desire  for  segre- 
gation molest  a  Negro  woman  who 
comes  along  the  streets  on  her  way 
from  work.  Attracted  by  her  screaming, 
Joe  rushes  up  to  explain  her  presence, 
but  is  brutally  beaten  for  his  efforts 
to  interfere.  As  Joe  lies  on  the  ground 
being  kicked  and  pounded,  the  film 
focuses  on  a  view  of  the  mob  in  front 
of  the  house  just  when  a  woman  tells 
her  neighbor  that  she  is  not  prejudiced 
or  anything,  but  "they  should  stick  to 
their  own  kind." 

The  sequence  concerning  Joe's  life 
at  college  is  developed  through  the 
orientation  stages  with  Joe's  acquaint- 
ance with  Jerry,  a  white  school  mate, 
and  Ella  Mae  through  their  shared 
interest  in  baseball.  Jerry  is  character- 
ized as  a  carefree,  nonchalant,  easy- 
going youth  who  seeks  the  pleasures  of 
college  life  while  neglecting  some  of 
his  studies.  Joe  and  Jerry  develop  a 
friendship  through  tutoring  sessions 
in  English  literature  and  casual  rela- 
tionships about  the  campus.  Jerry's 
friends,  however,  pointedly  warn  him 
that  "other  people  will  talk"  if  he 
associates  with  a  Negro  on  a  level  of 
friendship. 

Following  the  incident  with  his 
friends  Jerry  goes  through  a  period  of 
confusion,  but  decides  that  his  right  to 
choose  his  own  friends  is  more  impor- 
tant to  him  than  what  other  people 
think.  To  prove  that  a  previous  ex- 
change of  irritable  words  was  not 
intended  to  break  up  their  friendship, 
Jerry   invites  Joe   to  his  home  for  a

weekend.  Unable  to  make  an  accept- 
ably polite  refusal,  Joe  reminds  Jerry 
that  he  should  check  with  his  father 
to  see  "if  the  lease  allows  it." 

In  due  time  Joe  and  Ella  Mae  and 
Jerry  and  Gloria,  his  college  sweet- 
heart, graduate  and  become  engaged 
to  be  married.  In  the  meantime  Joe 
and  Ella  Mae  have  problems  of  ad- 
justment to  life  as  Negroes  in  a  white 
society.  Lloyd,  Ella  Mae's  brother  and 
guardian,  welcomes  Joe  as  a  suitor 
because  he  has  dreams  of  marrying 
Ella  Mae  to  a  teacher  or  someone 
"who  could  care  for  her  and  help  his 
people." 

The  courtship  goes  smoothly  until 
Joe  decides  that  he  does  not  wish  to 
leach,  but  would  rather  seek  a  position 
in  advertising  with  a  large  firm.  Lloyd 
is  disappointed  and  strenuously  objects 
to  Joe's  idealism  and  especially  disap- 
proves of  Joe's  taking  a  job  as  a 
restaurant  helper  while  he  applies  for 
an  advertising  position. 

During  ensuing  arguments  Lloyd 
presents  his  views  in  the  story  of  his 
struggle  to  better  himself  and  his 
f^rudging  acceptance  of  the  place  which 
society  has  reserved  for  him  in  the 
mill  and  in  the  Negro  neighborhood. 
He  refuses  to  continue  to  fight  to 
work  and  live  where  "he  ain't  wanted," 
and  demands  that  Joe  give  up  his  fight 


and  come  to  the  mill  with  him.  Ella 
Mae,  impatient  of  waiting  to  be  mar- 
ried, finally  agrees  to  Joe's  taking  the 
job  in  the  mill  as  a  laborer.  Shortly 
afterward  Joe  takes  a  job  in  the  mill 
and  he  also  takes  Ella  Mae  as  his  wife. 

While  in  the  mill  Joe  refuses  to 
content  himself  with  his  lot  and  con- 
tinues his  fight  for  advancement  on  the 
job  and  simultaneously  carries  on  a 
running  fight  with  Lloyd  at  home. 
Lloyd  cannot  forgive  Joe  for  not 
being  a  "teacher  or  something"  re- 
spectable. With  a  baby  coming  Joe 
becomes  increasingly  sullen  at  home 
but  has  his  spirits  rise  when  he  enters 
competition  for  a  promotion  on  the 
job.  Lloyd  advises  against  bidding  for 
the  proinotion  until  he  is  first  in  line, 
but  Joe  tries  and  wins  the  job,  though 
his  chief  competitor  is  a  white  man 
with  seniority. 

With  increased  pay  in  hand,  Joe  is 
impatient  to  buy  a  house  for  his  fam- 
ily. Jerry,  who  is  now  married  to 
Gloria  and  working  in  the  real  estate 
business,  is  called  upon  to  make  good 
his  promise  to  sell  Joe  his  first  house. 
Jerry  rims  into  trouble  with  his  father, 
a  constant  speech-maker  on  democratic 
principles,  when  he  decides  to  sell  Joe 
a  house  outside  the  Negro  neighbor- 
hood. In  questioning  his  father's  hypoc- 
risy Jerry  forces  his  father  into  advising 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  May,   1959 


him  that  it  is  good  business  strategy  to 
sell  to  Negroes  when  the  profit  is  high 
enough,  but  not  to  incur  the  disfavor 
of  people  when  no  great  profit  is  in- 
volved. 

Lloyd,  jealous  and  reluctant  to  part 
with  Ella  Mae  and  the  baby,  gives 
voice  to  excuses  to  justify  his  position 
on  race  relations:  in  his  argument  he 
predicts  trouble  and  aggressions  to- 
ward the  child  and  presecutions  from 
the  neighbors.  He  warns  Joe  against 
"pu.shing"  lest  they  take  away  the  few 
privileges  they  do  have  and  that  "our 
place  is  with  our  own."  He  angrily  and 
desperately  argues,  "Do  you  want  your 
son  to  grow  up  and  marry  a  white 
girl?"  Joe  maintains  that  he  wishes 
his  son  to  know  that  some  whites  are 
human,  too.  At  the  close  of  the  film 
Lloyd  pointedly  asks,  "Just  how  do 
you  tell  the  good  ones?" 

The  dilemma  of  Joe  and  Ella  Mae 
and  the  fears  of  the  neighbors  are  not 
resolved  in  the  film.  The  audience  is 
invited  to  discuss  the  issues. 

Appraisal 

Leaders  in  the  fields  of  human  rela- 
tions or  race  relations  and  teachers  of 
social  studies  will  find  this  film  useful 
in  provoking  thought  and  discussion 
in  their  groups.  They  must  be  on 
guard,  however,  to  guide  the  discussion

into  fruitful  tlianncls  because  the  film 
does  not  point  to  specific  issues  for 
discussion,  but  rather,  points  to  gen- 
eral problems.  The  purpose  of  the  film 
is  to  bring  to  light  discriminatory  prac- 
tices which  work  against  certain  ethnic 
minority  groups.  It  should  be  useful 
in  connection  with  social  problems  in 
groups  which  range  from  the  high 
school  level  to  college  and  adult  levels. 
The  target  audience  of  the  film  seems 
to  be  general  adult  groups. 

Burden  of  Truth,  in  using  somewhat 
extreme  "exam iples    to    dramatize  'its 
theme,    gets    its    message    across.    The 
manner  in  which   the  scenes  are  put 
together    in    the    southern    portrayal, 
along    with     their    dramatic     impact, 
presents    a    slightly    misrepresentative 
picture  of  real,  normal  conditions.  The 
sequence  presents  a  series  of  truthful 
incidents   which   do   happen    to    many 
people  in  time  as  the  normal  pattern 
of  life  for  most  individuals  in  the  re- 
gion. The  language  of  the  film  speaks 
with    blunt    forcefulness    in    this    case. 
The  characters  of  the  film  are  con- 
sistent   throughout    as   they    represent 
various     stereotyped     opinion     groups 
when   they   face   problems   which   pro- 
duce  this  American   dilemma.  Within 
the  conflicts  of  the  drama  and  the  inter- 
action   of    the    personages,    keen    and 
subtle    nuances   of   the    discriminatory 
attitudes  and  practices  are  brought  to 
light.  The  film  shows  the  influences  of 
social  pressures  on   both  sides  of  the 
issues  and  indicates  that  the  discrimina- 
tory   practices    are    based    in    fear    of 
others  more  than  on  personal  feelings. 
Tlie   film    is   primarily   a   discussion 
type  film,  but  it  carries  a  message  to 
Americans    who    have    not    examined 
their    positions    carefully    and    accept 
the  pattern  of  discriminations  against 
various    minorities    as    a    part    of    the 
nature   of   things.    It   bluntly   presents 
the  situation  of  the  Negroes  who  ac- 
cept discriminatory  treatment  because 
of  their  fear  of  conflict  and  the  loss 
of  the  "little  they  have"  as  contrasted 
with    those    who    pioneer    in    seeking 
equal  opportunity  to  live  and  work  as 
.Americans.

our  first  film.

at  the  product  of  a  new  company,  you  have

person  to  another  through  a  variety  o 
media. 

The  narrator  explains  that  there  arc 
two  forms  of  communication,  sight  anc 
sound.  Examples  of  these  two  type: 
are  presented,  such  as  gestures,  smok( 
signals,  traffic  lights,  policeman'; 
whistle,  jungle  drums,  and  the  tele 
phone.  Motion  pictures  and  televisior 
evidence  a  combination  of  the  two. 

As  the  viewer  is  introduced  to  i 
great  number  of  mass  communicatior 
channels,  which  include  the  moderr 
printing  press,  two-way  radio,  teleg 
raphy,  postal  service,  and  phonograph 
recordings,  tlie  importance  of  these 
many  media  to  eliminating  the  bar 
riers  of  time  and  distance  is  emi>ha 
sized. 

How  important  is  communicatior 
to  transportation,  business,  and  every 
day  living?  These  questions  are  an 
swered  visually  in  quick  order.  The 
railroad  of  today  must  depend  upon 
cross-country  communication  in  ordei 
to  know  adverse  routing  conditions 
and  crossing  signals  are  a  must  for  the 
safety  of  the  motorist.  The  airjilanc 
pilot  depends  upon  the  radio  for  land 
ing  instructions,  weather  reports,  anil 
emergency  pleas.  Radar  assists  noi 
only  in  commercial  airplane  travel 
but  in  water  travel  as  well.  The  busi- 
ness man  could  not  operate  as  exten- 
sively as  he  does  witliout  the  assistance 
of  an  efficient  communication  system. 
He  uses  the  telephone  to  talk  to  all 
parts  of  the  country  quickly,  the  postal 
and  telegraph  service  to  receive  orders 
and  transact  business  agreements,  and 
the  newspaper  advertisement  to  pro- 
mote his  wares  and  services.  Everyday 
activities  are  influenced  by  the  daily 
mail  delivery,  traffic  lights,  radio,  tele- 
vision, and  the  telephone. 

Government  agencies  depend  upon 
commimication  services  in  protecting 
the  community—  the  policeman  re- 
sponds quickly  to  radio  appeals  and 
the  fireman  is  notified  instantly  of  fire 
by  telephone  or  firebox.  Television 
serves  the  government  by  keeping  the 
people  informed  on  vital  issues  as  an 
enlightened  public  votes  more  intelli- 
gently.  The   continents   of   the   world  I

span  the  earth.  As  a  result,  nations 
are  brought  closer  together  as  is  sym- 
bolized by  the  work  of  the  United 
Nations. 

The  instructional  film  has  brought 
the  world  to  the  classroom  and  the 
mass  production  of  inexpensive  books 
has  shared  the  ideas  of  the  great  men 
of  the  past  and  present  with  every 
reader. 

As  the  narration  indicates,  "Good 
commimication  is  essential  to  help  peo- 
ple exchange  ideas  and  feelings  more 
effectively." 

Appraisal 

The  evaluating  committee  feels  that 
Cotnniuriication  in  the  Modern  World 
is  especially  useful  as  an  introductory 
film  for  a  unit  on  communication  in 
the  intermediate  and  junior  high 
grades.  As  a  broad  overview  of  the 
;reat  variety  of  communication  chan- 
nels in  use,  it  serves  the  necessary  role 
)f  introducing  the  student  to  the 
urgency  of  having  rapid,  effective 
comnuniication  and  to  the  number  of 
ways  one  communicates.  Although  the 
film  does  not  delve  deeply  into  any 
particular  communication  process,  it 
(Iocs  demonstrate  the  recurring  need 
for  such  basic  communicative  tools  as 
the  telephone,  radio,  postal  service, 
television,  and  the  printing  press.  It 
also  serves  as  a  springboard  for  dis- 
cussion in  a  variety  of  areas.

Description 

This  film,  apparently  narrated  by 
an  educated  Navajo  woman,  describes 
the  conflicts  experienced  by  her  peo- 
ple in  facing  the  demands  of  a  white- 
dominated  society.  Until  now,  day-to- 
day existence  of  the  Navajo  has 
centered  around  sheep-raising  and.  for 
the  few  fortunate  enough  to  have  irri- 
gated land,  a  few  acres  of  corn.  Daily 
needs  were  simple  and  for  the  most 
part  were  met  by  the  fruits  of  their 
own  labor  and  ingenuity.  At  the  trad- 
ing post  the  Navajo  bartered  wool, 
liides.  and  jewels  for  the  few  items 
they  were  iniable  to  make  themselves. 
Life  centered  almost  completely 
around  the  hogan,  constructed  of 
adobe  and  brush,  wherein  lived  par- 
ents, children,  grandparents,  aunts, 
uncles  and  cousins.

been  at  a  distinct  disadvantage.  Deeply 
rutted  dirt  roads  over  their  15,000,000 
acres  provide  little  access  to  doctors, 
schools,  and  civilization  in  general. 
Located  for  the  most  part  in  north- 
eastern Arizona,  the  high  desert  land 
of  the  Navajo  is  hot  in  summer  and 
cold  in  winter.  The  thin  layer  of  top

from  the  infrequent  but  heavy  rains.

Navajo  must  find  ways  other  than 
sheep-herding  to  support  their  rapidly 
growing  population.  Therefore,  they 
welcome  governmental  and  private 
development  of  petroleum,  natural 
gas,  and  uranium  resources  discovered 
in  and  around  their  land.  Here  are 
opportunities  for  employment.  But  if 
the  Navajo  is  to  work  for  the  white 
man  in  industry,  he  must  be  equipped 
by  proper  training.  Indeed,  he  must 
understand  not  only  the  white  man's 
language  and  skills  but  his  ways  of 
living  as  well.  All  this  means  that  the 
Navajo  must  leave  his  traditional  pat- 
tern of  maturation  in  the  hogan  and 
attend  government  and  other  schools 
now  being  established. 

Thus,  the  Navajo  are  indeed  a  peo- 
ple "between  two  worlds"  and  their 
situation  is  documented  in  the  expe- 
riences of  a  boy  who  attends  for  the 
first  time  a  government  day  school. 
True,  he  finds  there  remnants  of  the 
old  way;  his  class  makes  a  pet  of  a 
lamb.  But  there  are  also  many  new 
ways,  new  songs,  new  foods,  and  new 
health  habits  to  be  learned  —  all  in 
face  of   his  return   each    night    to   the

dirty,  isolated  hogan  and  to  sheep- 
herding.  Perhaps  the  parents  experi- 
ence even  greater  conflict,  especially 
those  who  allow  their  children  to 
spend  nine  months  in  a  boarding 
school.  On  their  return  to  the  hogan 
in  the  summer  these  youngsters  are 
sure  to  be  dissatisfied;  yet  they  must 
not  be  denied  the  preparation  essen- 
tial for  facing  the  problems  already 
upon  them.  In  the  final  analysis  these 
Navajo  have  the  same  potential  and 
same  rights  as  other  Americans,  despite 
the  marked  differences  in  cultural  and 
racial  backgrounds  suggested  in  the 
closing  sequence  of  the  film. 

Appraisal 

Dealing  with  the  problems  of  a  mi- 
nority group  attempting  to  retain  its 
identity  in  the  face  of  assimilation. 
The  Navajo  —  A  People  Between  Two 
Worlds  differs  from  most  films  on 
Indian  life  with  their  sometimes-exag- 
gerated portrayal  of  war  dances  and 
ceremonials.  Camera  work  for  the 
most  part  is  in  line  with  the  docu- 
mentary purpose  of  the  film;  only  the 
closing  sequence  is  somewhat  posed 
and  overdone.  While  the  narrative  is 
hardly  dramatic  enough  to  do  justice 
to  the  importance  of  the  problem 
under  study,  the  film  as  a  whole  is 
interestingly  and  convincingly  done. 
Try-outs  with  a  number  of  junior  high 
school  pupils  convinced  the  committee 
that  the  film  may  make  its  greatest 
contribution  at  the  senior  high  and 
tollege  levels  in  courses  with  anthro- 
pological and  sociological  emphases.

AV  IN  THE  CHURCH  FIELD 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Mid-£ast  Film 

Julien  Bryan  and  his  capable  col- 
laborators have  produced  an  excellent 
film  on  the  Middle  East.  This  25- 
minute  color  film  begins  with  an  ani- 
mated sequence  touching  the  art  and 
history  of  this  region;  continues  with 
documentary  shots  of  social  and  eco- 
nomic conditions  and  their  feudal  set- 
tings; moves  on  to  such  themes  as 
poverty,  nationalism,  urban  progress, 
education,  transportation,  and  com- 
merce. Here  is  a  film  to  inform  the 
adult  minds  of  church,  college,  and 
university  people.  It  ought  to  motivate 
study,  and  it  will  enhance  apprecia- 
tion of  Mid-East  problems  and  possi- 
bilities. Recommended.  From  Inter- 
national Film  Foundation,  Inc.,  1  East 
42nd  Street,  N.  Y.  17. 

The  Third  Moses 

On  the  occasion  of  the  100th  anni- 
versary of  Moses  Mendelssohn's  birth 
the  elders  of  the  city  of  Dessau  in 
Germany,  together  with  the  leaders  of 
the  Synagogue,  gathered  to  unveil  a 
monument  erected  in  his  memory.  "No 
son  of  Israel  had  ever  been  so  hon- 
ored in  Germany.  In  all  that  he  had 
done,  Mendelssohn  combined  a  great 
love  for  Judaism  and  a  deep  appre- 
ciation for  the  positive  values  of  world 
culture." 

"He  loved  all  men  —  the  Jew,  whom 
he  tried  to  show  the  way  to  modern 
life  and  thought,  and  the  Christian, 
whose  attitude  he  helped  to  broaden 
to  include  Jewish  people  as  equals." 

Thus  we  have  two  good  reasons  why 
the  young  people  of  synagogue  and 
church  school  should  become  acquaint- 
ed with  this  truly  great  man.  Let  us, 
who  profess  to  believe  in  this  kind  of 
greatness  and  nobility,  tell  his  story, 
show  the  light  of  love  that  lighted  his 
life.  As  I  write  this,  "Brotherhood 
Week"  is  being  observed:  would  that 
in  churches  we  could  tell  of  such  men; 
that  in  synagogues  the  story  of  com- 
parable Christians  was  being  told. 
This,  indeed,  would  spread  knowledge, 
the  very  soil  needed  to  grow  a  crop 
of  appreciation  and  understanding. 

Yes,  there  is  a  third  reason  for  using 
this  43-frame,  color  and  sound  film- 
strip,  selling  for  $10.00  complete,  and 
available  from  the  UAHC,  838  Fifth 
Ave.,  New  York  21.  This  filmstrip  has 


excellent  technical  qualities.  The  art 
is  good  all  the  way.  The  commentary 
is  notable  for  its  concise  inclusiveness. 
As  a  dividend  to  all,  this,  the  user's 
guide  carries  reproductions  of  the 
frames  of  the  filmstrip.  This  facilitates 
study,  and  preparation.  Highly  recom- 
mended for  church  and  synagogue  AV 
libraries. 

Completes  Prophet  Series 

By  the  recent  release  of  four  new 
titles,  Cathedral  Films,  Inc.,  has  com- 
pleted its  O.T.  Prophets  series.  The 
titles  are:  Jeremiah  —  The  Reluctant 
Rebel  (54  frames);  Ezekiel  —  Man  of 
Visions  (60  frames);  The  Prophet- 
Poet  of  the  Exile  (52  frames);  In  The 
Fullness  of  Time  (42  frames). 

The  last  is  a  summation  of  the  work 
of  the  prophets  and  tells  how  they 
prepared  the  way  and  predicted  the 
coming  of  the  Messiah.  The  others  we 
hear  these  Spokesmen  for  God  thun- 
dering calls  to  justice,  to  repentance, 
and  speaking  softly  of  love,  courage, 
mercy  and  the  showing  of  kindness. 
The  narrations  are  paired  on  two  LP 
records,  and  the  price  is  127.00  for 
the  set.  The  art  is  good  all  the  way, 
and  the  script  and  instructional  notes 
make  the  guides  especially  useful.  The 
target  audience  is  young  people  and 
up.  It  is  especially  commended  to 
teachers  of  religion  in  colleges  and 
seminaries  —  to  supplement  lectures 
and  study,  not  supplant  them. 

The  New  Neighbor 

I  can  love  any  neighbor  that's  far 
enough  away.  It's  the  one  next  door, 
or  across  the  street,  that  puts  me  to 
the  test.  Besides,  it's  the  ones  that  are 
different  —  in  clothes,  in  customs,  in 
language,  in  background,  and  in  color 
that  makes  it  hard.  These  thoughts  will 
go  through  your  mind,  and  all  others 
who  see  the  80-franie  color  photog- 
raphy filmstrip,  Hoiu  Do  You  Love 
Your  Neighbor?  It  shows  how  some 
neighbors,  children  and  adults,  pulled 
a  couple  of  boners  when  the  refugee 
Radiches     moved     onto     their     street. 

Recommended  for  use  with  Juniors 
and  up;  and  especially  good  for  camps, 
vacation  schools,  week-day  and  Sun- 
day schools.  Two-version  script;  from 
Christian  Education  Press,  1505  Race 
Street,  Philadelphia  2,  Pa. 


Without  God 

In  his  memorable,  "The  Man  With- 
out A  Country,"  Hale  tells  us  of  the 
plight  of  Philip  Nolan  who  resolved 
to  live  his  life  without  a  country.  If  I 
wanted  to  get  a  group  of  men  and 
women  or  young  people  into  a  lively 
discussion  of  the  general  plight  of  any 
man  without  God  I  think  I  would 
most  certainly  use  the  filmstrip  version 
of  Hale's  story  —  done  up  for  us  by 
Films  For  Education,  1066  Chapel 
Street,  New  Haven,  Conn.,  and  priced 
at  $15.00  for  strip,  record,  and  guide. 
This  20-minute  color  filmstrip  has  good 
content  and  art  qualities.  Users  with 
and  without  imagination  can  find 
many  uses  for  this  filmstrip.  Highly 
recommended. 

Four  Presidents  and 
The  Bible 

The  other  night  my  wife  and  I 
previewed  a  new  series  of  four  film- 
strips.  It  was  the  series  which  the 
American  Bible  Society  has  just  re- 
leased, "The  Bible  and  The  Presi- 
dents." We  liked  them.  We  found 
ourselves  entertained,  informed,  and 
inspired.  If  our  reaction  is  anywhere 
near  typical,  this  series  will  attain  con- 
siderable popularity. 

The  research  has  been  painstaking, 
and  the  writing  careful.  The  com- 
mentary has  been  skillfully  and  effec- 
tively recorded  on  the  four  sides  of 
two  records.  The  running  time  is 
about  18  minutes  each.  Printed  on 
the  borders  of  the  scripts  are  the 
frames  from  the  filmstrip,  making 
study  easier.  The  art  work  is  good 
throughout  the  series,  and  especially 
effective  in  We  Hold  These  Truths 
(Jefferson)  and  in  A  Man  and  His 
Book  (Lincoln).  The  other  titles  are 
Inspiration  To  Greatness  (Washing- 
ton) and  Doer  of  the  Word  (Theodore 
Roosevelt). 

Here  is  an  excellent  series  for  use 
in  all  kinds  of  youth  camps,  confer- 
ences, and  retreats;  in  youth  fellow- 
ships; in  the  Scouting  program,  and 
in  jamborees.  Because  of  the  techni- 
cal qualities  achieved  in  them  by  their 
producer,  Cathedral  Films,  Inc.,  we 
heartily  recommend  them.  They  are 
available  from  the  American  Bible 
Society,  440  Fourth  Ave.,  New  York 
16,  N.  Y.,  and  the  price  is  $25.00.

Useful  Handbook 

While  definitely  oriented  toward  the 
school,  at  all  levels,  Philip  Mannino's 
handbook,  "A. B.C.  Of  Audio-Visual 
Equipment  and  School  Projectionist 
Manual,"  in  its  second  revised  edition, 
will  be  more  than  worth  5 1.50  to  AV 
coordinators  and  committees  in  the 
local  church.  It  contains  80  pages  of 
sensible  guidance  on  many  facets  of 
equipment  construction,  use  and  main- 
tenance, many  informing  illustrations, 
and  a  score  or  more  of  good  and  useful 
tables  and  checklists. 

This  reviewer  was  amused  a  bit  to 
note  that  the  school  field  seems  still 
to  use  the  terms  "silent  slidefilms"  and 
"sound  slidefilms."  Long  ago  the 
church  field  discarded  these  clumsy 
and  non-descriptive  terms  in  favor  of 
filmstrip  and  sound  filmstrip.  A  film 
can't  be  a  slide,  and  a  slide  can't  be 
a  film,  and,  slides  don't  "film,"  and 
films  don't  slide!  In  due  time,  we  pre- 
dict, these  odd-beat  terms  for  filmstrip 
will  be  abandoned  by  the  equipment 
and  filmstrip  producers  who  have  per- 
sisted in  their  perpetuation,  .\long  in 
1946  some  19  terms  were  in  use  for 
"filmstrip."  It's  real  progress  to  get 
down  to  four!  Order  this  bargain-book

versity Park,  Penn.

Guest  Review^ 

Rev.  David  Blackshear,  Pastor 
First  Presbyterian  Church,  Hud- 
son Falls,  N.  Y.,  reviews  the  43- 
frame  color  and  art  filmstrip, 
The  Beginnings  of  The  Bible,  by 
SVE 

This  SVE  filmstrip  brings  us  an 
intelligently  conceived  and  well  pro- 
duced "starter"  for  discussion  or  study 
of  the  Bible  for  laymen.  It  raises  a 
number  of  basic  questions  about  our 
Scripture,  its  inception,  transmission 
both  oral  and  written,  and  about  its 
preservation.  Particular  reference  is 
made  to  the  Mosaic  books,  and  pro- 
phecy of  Jeremiah,  with  brief  quota- 
tions from  the  Psalms  and  Micah. 

The  presentation  of  the  origins  of 
Scripture  in  the  normal  experience 
of  people,  and  the  preservation 
through  oral  and  written  media,  is 
clear  and  convincing.  In  carrying  out 
its  main  purpose  —  deepening  our  un- 
derstanding of  the  Bible  as  literature 
through  a  description  of  the  process 
involved  in  its  transmission— this  film- 
strip  makes  a  much-needed  and  often 
neglected  emphasis. 


It  is  quite  possible,  however,  that 
the  viewer  might  come  away  with  the 
impression  that  the  Bible  is  a  book 
which  records  simply  man's  thought 
about  God.  God's  part  in  creating 
Scripture  is  never  answered  at  any 
deeper  level  than  a  simple  statement 
that  He  'spoke'  or  He  'commanded.' 
This  may  leave  some  dissatisfied  even 
in  a  filmstrip  emphasizing  literature. 
God's  part  in  this  communication 
needs  more  emphasis. 

The  section  about  the  forms  of 
transmission  —  clay  tablets,  papyri, 
ostraca,  etc.  —  is  quite  helpful.  The 
illustrations  are  particularly  clear,  the 
essentials  being  highlighted  and  the 
background  subdued  and  limited  to 
the  minimum.  This  quality  prevails 
throughout  the  filmstrip,  and  the  com- 
mentary is   thereby  enhanced. 

Used  as  an  isolated  presentation, 
this  filmstrip  may  leave  the  audience 
dissatisfied  because  it  covers  such  a 
small  area  of  the  whole  matter  of  the 
Bible  as  literature.  Yet,  this  is  as  it 
should  be.  It  is  designed  as  an  intro- 
ductory part  of  a  series,  and  is  cer- 
tainly accomplishes  the  objective  of 
stimulating  interest  in  a  study  of  how 
the  Bible  rose  out  of  the  vital  and 
vigorous  experiences  of  the  people  of 
God.

The  record  industry  continues  to 
supply  some  unusual  materials  which 
schools  can  use  profitably  in  instruc- 
tion. And  schools  continue  to  expand 
the  use  of  such  materials  to  add  to  the 
variety  of  experiences  offered  to  stu- 
dents everywhere. 

Audio  Education  Inc.  (American

The  recording  brings  more  than  fifty

some  sample  titles,  are:  "Home  (My 
liee  House),"  "School  (Counting 
Song)."  "Community  (The  Postman),' 
"Songs  for  Rhythm  Band,"  "Trans- 
portation (Tugboats),"  "Our  World 
(Thunder),"  "Song  Stories  (Old  Mac- 
Donald's  F'arm),"  "Action  Songs  (Ro- 
bot)," ".Animals,  Birds,  Fish  (Little 
Redbird),"  "Songs  for  Special  Days 
(Our  Flag),"  and  "Songs  for  Creative 
Movement  (Galloping)."  The  selection 
and  the  performance  are  both  worthy 
ol  commendation,  for  the  voices  of 
Helen  Riddle  and  Paul  Ukena  are 
pleasing  and  unaffected,  and  the  ma- 
terial is  deliberately  chosen  to  meet 
the  needs  of  many  different  children 
and  groups  of  children  —  and  teachers. 

This  is  intended  for  and  can  be  used 
with  the  youngest  beginning  school 
students  to  introduce  a  variety  of  mu- 
sical information,  and  to  elicit  whole- 
some response  in  participation.  These 
are  not  materials  just  for  listening,  but 
ratlur  re(]uire  that  the  listening  chil- 
dren join  actively. 


Moving  up  the  ladder  in  music  ap- 
preciation a  most  unusual  album  is 
offered  as  the  sole  production  of  the 
Music  Education  Record  Corporation 
(Box  445,  Englewood,  N.  J.). 

This  five  record  series  of  musical 
presentations  involves  the  entire  or- 
chestra in  several  ways.  To  begin  with, 
the  families  of  instruments  are  pre- 
sented. The  strings,  woodwinds,  brass 
and  percussion  instruments  are  each 
heard  in  solo  presentation  in  the 
hands  of  masters.  Each  instrument  is 
demonstrated  and  its  contribution  to 
the  orchestra  is  summarized. 

The  solo  artists  are  first-chair  men 
of  such  exceptional   musical  organiza- 


tions as  the  New  York  Philharmonic- 
Symphotiy,  the  Metropolitan  Orches- 
tra, and  the  former  NBC  Symphony 
of  the  Air. 

The  instruments  are  also  presented 
in  solo  excerpts  from  compositions  by 
such  composers  as  Bach,  Wagner, 
Berlioz,  Verdi,  Brahms,  Rossini,  Deb- 
ussy, Mozart,  Enesco,  Mahler,  Liszt 
and  Grieg  to  name  but  a  portion.  In 
addition  the  "Wedding  March;  Cocj 
D'Or"  by  Rimsky-Korsakov  and  Wag- 


ner's "Prelude  to  the  Third  Act  of 
Lohengrin"  are  performed  by  the  or- 
chestra. 

The  album  features  reliable  histori- 
cal data  concerning  the  instruments, 
exceptional  musicianship  and  sound 
instructional  planning.  This  novel  and 
useful  lecture-demonstration  album  is 
intended  for  older,  more  mature  listen- 
ers than  is  the  first  record  reported. 
It  does  not  rely  on  sugar-coating, 
whimsy  or  fantasy.  The  information 
is  presented  in  straight-forward  fash- 
ion. The  casual  listener  will  soon  be 
lost. 

The  recordings  are  conducted  by 
Wheeler  Beckett,  who  has  long  been 
associated  with  fine  music  and  with 
music  education  for  young  people.  He 
has  conducted  the  San  Francisco  Sym- 
phony  Orchestra   in   its  justly   famous 


A  tape  recording  is  no  better  than  the  tape  used  to 
make  it.  You  can't  get  first-class  sound  from  second- 
class  tape.  When  you  buy  Audiotape,  you  know 
you're  getting  the  truly  professional  quality  record- 
ing tape  ...  no  matter  which  of  the  eight  types  you 
choose.  Remember,  there's  only  one  Audiotape 
quality -the  finest  obtainable  anywhere.  And  this 
single  quality  standard  is  consistent  within  each 
reel,  uniform  from  reel  to  reel,  type  to  type.  It's 
your  assurance  of  getting  all  the  sounds— from  the 
tuba's  lows  to  the  highest  highs.

The  internationally  celebrated  conductor  Wilfrid  Pelletier,  co-founder  of  the 
Montreal  Symphony  and  director  of  its  "Youth  Concerts,"  rehearses  the 
orchestra  with  his  Norelco  tape  recorder  close  at  hand.  For  many  seasons, 
Mr.  Pelletier  was  the  congenial  conductor  of  the  N.  Y.  Philharmonic  "Young 
People's  Concerts,"  the  Metropolitan  Opera  and  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
Auditions  of  the  Air.  A  familiar  figure  in  the  field  of  music  education,  he  estab- 
lished, and  continues  to  serve,  as  director  of  the  Conservatoire  de  Musique  et 
d'ART  Dramatique  of  the  Province  of  Quebec.  According  to  the  Maestro,  "When 
it  comes  to  teaching  music,  words  alone  are  never  enough.  Successful  communica- 
tion between  teacher  and  student  depends,  in  large  measure,  upon  the  student's 
ability  to  accurately  hear  his  own  efforts.  I  have  found  that  the  superb  "mirror 
image"  provided  by  my  Norelco  'Continental'  Tape  Recorder  is  my  guarantee  of 
optimum  communication,  and  thereby  the  student's  guarantee  of  progress."  The 
Norelco  'Continental'  is  a  product  of  North  American  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High 
Fidelity  Products  Division,  Dept.  IS5,  230  Duffy  Avenue,  Hickaville,  L.  I.,  N.  Y..

We  have  been  seriously  concerned 
these  past  few  months  with  the  many 
claims  and  counterclaims  of  educa- 
tors, and  non-educators,  about  the 
values  and  functions  of  education  and 
of  machines  in   education. 

The  contradictory  studies  which 
prove  and  disprove  are  not  always 
sound  research.  All  too  often  the  re- 
porter has  begun  by  formulating  a 
thesis,  and  then  carefully  culling  in- 
formation in  supjx)rt  of  a  particular 
end.  We  suppose  that,  if  the  right 
studies  were  either  consulted  or  under- 
taken, it  would  be  possible  to  prove, 
for  instance,  that  the  teacher  in  the 
foreign  languages  plays  a  minor  role 
in  support  of  the  recordings.  THIS 
WE  DO  NOT  BELIEVE  TO  BE 
TRUE.  .\nd  if  this  were  even  a  hint- 
able  reality,  the  need  for  teachers 
would  be  aliTiost  or  wholly  eliminated 
and  foreign  language  instruction  in 
the  elementary  school  would  today  be 
a  reality,  a  solid  universal  reality, 
rather  than  an  experimental  area  en- 


joying a  tenuous  position  in  the  edu- 
cational spectrum. 

We  don't  for  a  minute  believe  that 
even  the  most  rabid  supporter  of  teach- 
ing machines  believes  that  these  cat> 
and  will  reduce  either  the  cost  of  ade- 
quate or  superior  instruction,  or  re- 
duce the  exjjanding  need  for  superior 
teachers  everywhere. 

Audiovisual  personnel  are  too  often 
tarred  unjustly  with  the  brush  of 
mechanization.  As  the  annual  head- 
long rush  to  budget  economies  gets 
into  stride,  the  audiovisual  person  is 
pressured  into  suggesting  that  perhaps 
films,  or  radio,  or  TV,  or  recordings, 
or  something  else  can  be  used  in  ])lace 
of  good,  sound,  endless  local  curricu- 
lum adaptation  and  plain  good  in- 
struction. Because  the  audiovisual 
director  or  supervisor  is  associated 
with  the  electronic  machines  of  his 
age,  he  is  too  often  called  upon  to  be 
a  gadgeteer,  and  to  defend  the  gadget- 
minded  layman  who  demands  auto- 
mation  in  education. 

We  were  delighted  to  see  that  the 
NEW  YORK  HERALD  TRIBUNE 
took  an  objective  point  of  view  in  this 
debate  in  a  recent  editorial.  They 
said,  "Under  a  grant  announced  by 
the  Ford  Foundation,  250  students  at 
Hamilton  College  will  teach  them- 
selves French,  German,  mathematics, 
psychology  and  logic  by  machine  in 
the  next  two  years.  They  will  use  a  box 
which  flashes  questions  on  a  film  and 
then  marks  the  answers  that  the  stu- 
dent feeds  back.  .  .  . 

"Mechanical  aids  are  important,  of 
course,  in  this  age  when  there  are  too 
many  students  and  too  few  teachers. 
Films,  tape  recorders  and  TV  sets  can 
relieve  the  pedagogue  of  many  chores. 
So  can  testing  devices,  which  today  can 
measure  a  student's  ability  better  — 
and  at  an  earlier  age  —  than  ever  be- 
fore. But  no  machine  can  replace  a 
live  teacher.  (Italics  ours).  A  French- 
teaching  machine  may  know  its  gram- 
mar but  it  can't  speak  French;  a  ma- 
chine that  teaches  logic  can  be  bested 
in  any  debate. 

"America  needs  teachers  who  can 
pique  their  student's  curiosity  and 
prod  them  to  do  their  utmost.  .  .  . 

"Obviously  there  are  big  tasks  ahead 
for  the  real,  non-mechanized  teacher." 

To  the  same  end,  and  with  some- 
what more  humorous  approach,  is 
Allan  E.  Sloane's  first  act  curtain  in 
the  play  "May  We  Remember"  which 
is  published  by  the  Department  of 
Elementary  School  Principals,  NEA. 
This  play  was  presented  for  the  first 
time  at  the  .Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Department  of  Elementary  School 
Principals,  NE.A,  in  March  1958  in 
Philadelphia.  The  portion  which  fol-

RECORDERS 

There's  an  exciting  new  technique  in  foreign 
language  study  —  and  students  everywhere  are 
taking  to  it  eagerly.  Tape  teaching  method! 
In  modern  language  training  centers,  native 
dialects  on  tape  are  the  "textbooks",  Ekotape 
recorders  the  "workbooks".  And  when  students 
hear  their  own  voices  speaking  a  foreign 
"tongue",  it  becomes  alive  immediately!  What 
a  difference  it  makes  in  response,  achievement. 
No  wonder  progress  is  fast! 

Students  and  teachers  alike  are  quick  to  ap- 
preciate the  dependabiUty  of  Ekotape  recorders 
. .  .  the  exceptional  ease  with  which  they  can 
record  and  playback  . . .  the  instant  start-stop 
action.  Crisp,clear  tone  eliminates  fatigue,  aids 
comprehension.  Important  reasons  why  Eko- 
tape recorders  have  become  an  accepted  stand- 
ard in  modern  language  training  programs.

There  have  been  times  recently 
when  we  harbored  a  secret  little  hope 
that  if  Confucius'  spirit  were  dallying 
in  some  nirvana  of  the  hereafter  that 
said  locale  was  one  in  which  he  had 
to  do  a  bit  of  meditation  and  penance 
for  a  sin  committed.  All  this  because 
of  that  oft  quoted  phrase  "One  pic- 
ture is  worth  a  thousand  words." 
Many  of  the  pictures  used  for  educa- 
tional purposes  are  absolutely  worth- 
less! It  would  be  a  good  thing  if  the 
famous  phrase  referred  to  were  con- 
signed to  the  attic.  Some  of  the  pic- 
tures included  in  some  filmstrips  we 
have  seen  were  not  worth  the  basic 
stock  on  which  they  were  printed,  and 
words  are  not  even  adequate  to  de- 
scribe their  triteness  and  ineffective- 
ness as  instructional  media. 

If  we  plan  to  use  pictures  as  in- 
structional devices  they  should  really 
"show"  something.  There  should  be  a 
unity  or  singleness  of  purpose  in  each 
picture  that  actually  speaks,  regardless 
of  whether  or  not  there  is  a  caption 
or  narration  record.  If  pictures  are  a 
iTiedium  of  communication,  then  they 
should  communicate.  We  wish  pro- 
ducers would  remember  the  great 
value  of  close-ups;  the  value  of  "over- 
the-shoulder"  views,  so  that  a  viewer 
can  actually  see  what  is  going  on;  the 
value  of  seeing  people  and  places 
from  several  different  angles! 

There  is  plenty  of  room  for  the  pro- 
duction of  more  filmstrips  IF  they 
really  provide  a  visualized  experience 
that  says  something  to  the  viewer. 
There  is  no  room  for,  or  excuse  for 
filmstrips  that  merely  provide  more 
busy-work   pictures. 

Aluminum 

(single  strip,  color;  No.  5  in  the 
"Mining  and  Metallurgical  Industries 
Series";  produced  by  National  Film 
Board  of  Canada  and  available  from 
Stanley  Bowmar  Co.,  12  Cleveland  St., 
Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  S5  per  strip.)  We  take 
aluminum  so  much  for  granted  today 
as  part  of  everyday  life  that  it  is 
rather  startling  to  be  told  that  only 
one  hundred  years  ago  it  was  as  costly 
as  gold.  The  story  of  aluminum  pro- 
duction, from  the  time  of  Sir  Hum- 
phrey Davy's  first  experiments  in  1807, 
is  both  fascinating  and  important. 
The  sequences  in  this  filmstrip  show 
us  where  the  basic  raw  materials  to 
produce  alumina  trihydrate  (.AlgOg- 
.3H.,0)  are  secured  and  how  it  is  re- 
duced and  fabricated  into  various 
forms,  .\tteinion  is  focused  on  the  fac- 


tors contributing  to  making  Canad; 
the  second  largest  producer  of  primary 
aluminum,  but  we  also  see  this  h 
relationship  to  the  total  world  pro 
duction  picture.  This  is  a  very  gooc 
filmstrip  for  use  in  science  and  them 
istry  units,  and  it  also  has  value  foi 
social  studies  units. 

Impressions  of  Holland 

(.5  strips,  color;  produced  by  Ency 
clopaedia  Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil 
mette  Ave.,  Wilmette,  111.;  $30  pei 
set;  |6  single  strips.)  Holland  is  i 
wonderful  country  to  visit,  and  thi^ 
picture  trip  to  Rotterdam,  Utrecht 
Gouda.  Harlem,  .Amsterdam  and  .Aals 
meer,  the  flower  center  of  Europe,  i' 
truly  a  memorable  one.  The  photog 
rapher  has  caught  both  the  old  and 
the  new  in  his  camera  lens,  and  the 
over-all  picture  cjuality  is  excellent 
Sequences  dealing  with  the  great 
flower  bulb  gardens  are  particularly  in 
teresting,  as  are  the  ones  showing  tht 
traditional  dress  in  several  of  the 
village  areas.  The  places  and  people 
selected  for  our  visit  are  shown  in 
close-ups,  which  helps  to  make  the 
story  realistic.  One  gets  a  feeling  ol 
"liveness  and  vitality"  so  characteris 
of  both  the  land  and  its  people.  Ti 
is  a  series  that  should  help  to  mak- 
social   studies  interesting  and   human 

Journey  Down  the 
Great  Volga 

(single  strip,  color;  produced  by  Life 
Filmstrips,  9  Rockefeller  Plaza,  New 
York  20,  N.  Y.)  Like  other  great 
rivers,  the  Volga  flows  along  past  many 
places  —  cities,  villages,  farms;  river 
boats  of  many  types  make  the  journey 
up  and  down  the  river,  and  the  film- 
strip  takes  on  such  a  journey.  In  this 
instance  we  go  with  our  camera  man 
as  a  passenger  on  an  excursion  boat 
from  Moscow  to  Astrakhan.  En  route 
we  see  how  logs  are  floated  down- 
stream; we  stop  at  the  Moscow  docks 
to  watch  passengers  come  aboard  for 
the  trip;  then  as  the  boat  goes  along 
we  watch  people  in  the  river  towns 
and  cities.  It  is  a  kaleidoscopic  view 
of  Russia  and  Russian  people,  and  it 
is  up-to-date,  for  the  photographs  were 
taken  in  1958.  We  see  something  of 
the  new  power  plants  and  industrial 
centers  that  mean  much  to  the  devel- 
opment of  the  new  Russian  economy, 
and  this  is  a  good  strip  to  use  in  social 
studies  and  current  affairs  work.

Life  Story  of  A  Butterfly 

(single  strip,  color;  produced  by 
Moody  Institute  of  Science.  11428 
SiMta  Monica  Blvd.,  West  Los  Angeles 
L'7.  Calif.;  $6.)  The  value  of  filnistrips 
such  as  this  is  that  they  enable  us  to 
present  large,  close-up  views  of  sub- 
ject and  specimens  that  are  otherwise 
often  difficult  to  observe  closely,  or 
for  any  great  length  of  time.  The  life 
cyile  and  development  of  a  butterfly 
are  always  matters  of  interest  to  boys 
and  girls,  and  this  filmstrip  is  par- 
ticularly well  photographed.  The  color 
(juality  is  good  and  the  developmental 
sec|uences  clearly  indicated.  It  is  to 
be  recommended  for  science  and  na- 
ture study  units  and  for  camping  and 
s(out  groups. 

Our  Caribbean 
Neighbors 

(single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  Educational  .Activities  Office, 
The  New  York  Times,  229  West  43 
St.,  New  York  36,  N.  Y.;  $2.50  for 
single  strip;  $15  for  series  of  which 
this  is  a  monthly  unit.)  The  entire 
Caribbean  area  is  definitely  in  the 
foreground  of  international  affairs  at 
present.  In  all  countries  of  the  area 
there  are  social  and  economic  matters 
which  have  direct  bearing  of  those  of 
the  United  States  and  other  countries 
in  all  parts  of  the  world.  Our  atten- 
tion is  drawn  in  this  strip  to  major 
policies  and  political  trends  and  to 
imsettled  social  questions.  A  strong 
,;oint  is  made  for  the  fact  that  the 
.land  nations  of  the  Caribbean  are 
in  a  process  of  change  and  that  there 
is  need  to  reassess  their  status  as  stra- 
tegic outposts.  Well  suited  for  use  in 
study  of  international  affairs  and  world 
history. 

Petroleum  in  Today's 
Living 

(single  strip,  color;  produced  for  the 
.American  Petroleum  Institute  and 
available  without  charge  from  the 
Creole  Petroleum  Corp.,  Educational 
Section,  1230  Avenue  of  the  Americas, 
New  York  20,  N.  Y.)  This  is  the  story 
of  the  machines  which,  using  the 
products  of  petroleum,  do  most  of 
man's  work  today.  Machines  have  dis- 
placed animals,  and  machines  must  be 
supj)lied  with  motivation  and  power. 
When  Col.  Drake  drilled  the  first 
commercially  successful  oil  well  in 
IH59,  this  source  of  power  was  pro- 
vided, and  the  strip  shows  us  some- 
thing of  what  petroleum  contributes 
to  modern  living.  It  does  not  go  into 
detail  about  geologic  formations  or 
chemical  processes;  it  does  show  the  im- 
]>ortance  of  petroleum  to  industry,  mak- 
in.!<  it  good  for  science,  social  studies.

Trade  News 

All  Space  Sold  at  Trade  Shows 

Optimism  on  the  part  of  audiovisual 
manufacturers  and  producers  is  reflected 
in  the  complete  sell-out  of  exhibit  space 
at  both  the  DAVI  and  the  National  Mi- 
crofilm Association  April  conventions. 
Livelier-than-ever  demand  is  reported  for 
NAVA  space  at  Chicago's  Morrison  Ho- 
tel show  in  July. 

Language  Lab  Patent 

Electronic  Teaching  Laboratories, 
Washington,  D.C.,  announces  a  patent  on 
its  dual-track  tape  recording  apparatus 
for  foreign  language  training  and  other 
memorization  learning;  one  channel  with 
unerasable  teacher-dictated  lesson  mate- 
rial, the  other  for  repeated  re-use  by  the 
student.  The  firm  has  installed  100 
language  laboratories  for  the  government 
in  33  countries. 

Reduced  Summer  Rentals 

Family  Films  announces  a  special  June- 
July- August  rental  rate  ($5)  on  24  mod- 
ern theme  films.  While  latest  releases 
are  not  included,  the  announcement 
points  out  that  no  film  is  "old"  for  the 
customer  who  has  not  yet  used  it. 

French   as  She  is  Spoke 

A  new  series  of  40  sound  filmstrips 
visualizes  and  brings  to  life  the  famous 
Berlitz  French  language  course.  New 
color  photography,  shot  entirely  in 
France,  follows  the  long  familiar  "On  the 
Plan,"  "Paris  Taxi  Ride,"  "At  the  Bank," 
etc.  routines.  More  than  35  native 
speakers  are  heard  in  these  multi-voice 
recordings.  Vocabulary  is  based  on  con- 
versational frequencies,  and  time-tested 
pauses  are  provided  for  student  repetition. 
Structure,  grammar  and  vocabulary  de- 
veloped through   story  situations,   visual- 


ized simultaneously  on  the  screen  in  the 
form  of  lively  incidents  of  everyday 
French  life  in  natural  situations  and  real 
surroundings.  The  material  is  arranged  in 
eight  sets  of  five  strips  each.  The  first 
set,  lessons  1  to  5,  include  a  novel  con- 
centric verb-finder  wheel.  Per  set  (5), 
$84.50.  If  either  the  first  20  ($3381 
or  the  entire  40  ($620)  are  bought  a 
Viewlex  Model  V-44  300-watt  filmstrip 
projector  is  included  as  a  bonus.  PATHE-

miere at  the  MPFDA  show  in  Philadel- 
phia, March  22-26

RCA  unveiled  production  models  of 
its  new  television  tape  reproducer  at  the

recording.  Color  may  be  added  by  means

ment without  modification  of  the  original

from  Ozal 

Audio  Visual . . .  the 


PROJECTO-PRINTER  30 

Malces  transparencies  for  overhead  projection 
from  any  source  material , ,  .in  minutes! 


Now,  with  the  new  Ozalid  Projecto-Printer  30,  you  can 
prepare  transparencies — on  the  spot — without  being  a 
photographic  expert.  Using  any  original  visual  source  ma- 
terial .  .  .  textbooks,  manuals,  charts— whether  opaque 
or  tracings  —  two-sided,  or  even  book -bound  .  .  .  you 
can  get  dozens  of  new  visual  effects  in  black  and  white 
or  color.  You  need  no  darkroom— no  trays— no  mixing 
of  messy  chemicals.  The  Projecto-Printer  30  is  a  simple, 
self-contained  unit  and  the  cost  is  low.  The  simple 
process  takes  mere  minutes.  Anyone  in  your  office  can 
make  projectables  in  just  a  few  easy  steps. 


Overhead  projection  gives 
you  complete  flexibility  in 
planning  and  delivering 
your  presentation.  Use  the 
projection  stage  as  a 
"blackboard"  for  specific 
emphasis.  You're  in  com- 
plete control  —  no  need 
for  an  assistant.

At  Florida  workshop  Jim  Froberg,  graduate  student  at  Florida  State  University,  demon- 
strates  transparencies  with  the  overhead  projector  for  a  group  of  teachers. 


Florida  Group  Holds 
AV  Workshop 

The    Audiovisual    Section    of    the 
Florida     Education     Association     pre- 
sented a  program  for  teachers  at   the 
annual  meeting  March  20,  in  Tampa, 
Florida.    More  than  a  thousand  teach- 
ers listened  to  Dr.  Irene  Cypher  and 
participated  in  the  meeting.   The  first 
part  consisted  of  a  talk  by  Dr.  Cypher 
on    the    "Importance   of    Materials   in 
Teaching,"  and  a  visualized  demonstra- 
tion on  "Display  Materials '  presented 
by  Otis  McBride  and   Bill  Quinly  of 
Florida   State   University.    During  the 
last  hour   teachers   visited   twenty-odd 
concurrent  demonstrations  covering  a 
wide  range  of  instructional  materials. 
These  included  such  topics  as  making 
transparencies,    the    polaroid    camera, 
homemade  filmstrips,  puppets,  arithme- 
tic kits,  Junior  Museum  materials,  types 
of  book  bindings,  the  micro  projector, 
school    participation    in    fair   exhibits, 
new  science  lx)oks,   book  illustrations, 
elementary    science    carts,    elementary 
industrial    arls    carts,    dry    mounting, 
wet  mounting,  rubber  cement  mount- 
ing, vertical  file  and  dioramas. 

Response  to  the  program  has  been 
enthusiastic,  and  the  evaluation  indi- 
cates that  the  AV  Section  will  be  asked 
to  present  programs  for  teachers  at 
each  annual  meeting.

Annual  AV  Workshop 
At  Indiana  U. 

"Improving  Learning  Through  the 
Use  of  .\udiovisual  Materials"  is  the 
theme  of  Indiana  University's  annual 
audiovisual  conference-workshop,  to 
be  held  on  the  campus  June  22-26. 
Lectures,  panel  discussions,  demonstra- 
tions and  informal  group  participation 
are  designed  to  be  beneficial  for  all 
those  interested  in  the  educational 
use  of  audiovisual  materials.  Monday 
through  Friday,  the  programs  will  be 
centered  around:  the  curricular  basis 
for  the  use  of  AV  materials;  techniques 
for  making  ,\V  materials;  suggestions 
for  using  AV  materials;  practical  as- 
pects of  administering  an  AV  program; 
evaluation  of  AV  programs. 

One  hour  of  credit  may  be  earned 
for  attendance  at  the  complete  con- 
ference. For  further  information,  write 
Dr.  Carolyn  Guss,  Audio-Visual  Cen- 
ter, Indiana  University,  Bloomington. 


Questionnaires  Test 
Reactions  to  ETV 

Henry  S.  Dyer,  Educational  Testing 
Service  Vice  President  for  Research 
and  .\dvisory  Services,  and  his  assist- 
ant,  Anne  H.  Ferris,  have  developed 


an  evaluation  questionnaire  callec 
"Sizing  Up  Your  School  Subjects.' 
The  approacli  is  indirect  in  order  tc 
get  the  students'  unbiased  reactions 
.Ml  students  in  a  given  grade  complete 
tlie  questionnaires,  those  in  experi 
mental  TV  and  control  groups  as  wel 
as  those  who  have  no  connection  with 
the  study.  Only  the  answers  from  th< 
experimental  and  control  groups  are 
used  in  the  analysis. 

Topics  under  discussion  include 
the  student's  likes  and  dislikes  in  sub 
ject  areas;  ease  of  learning;  time  in 
volved  in  studying  and  preparation, 
comparative  u.sefulness  of  the  subjects; 
how  much  the  student  feels  he  is  actu 
ally  learning.

People  in  the  News 

Col.  Homer  F.  Kellems,  nationally 
known  lecturer,  educator,  and  directoi 
of  photography  for  Eye  Gate  House 
Inc.,  was  ambushed  and  killed  by  W 
gerian  rebels  early  in  March.  He  was 
on  a  photographic  assignment  with 
his  assistant,  William  B.  Hobbs  (whc 
survived),  and  had  just  entered  th( 
rebel-infested  area  of  West  Algeri; 
from  Morocco.  It  is  thought  that  th( 
rebels  were  ignorant  of  his  nationality 
Col.  Kellems  was  the  first  ,\mericai 
killed  in  the  four-year-old  rebellion. 

John  T.  Hawkinson,  manager  o 
audiovisual  services  for  the  Ulinoi 
Central  Railroad  Company,  Chicagc 
was  elected  president  of  the  Industria 
.Audio-Visual  .Association  at  that  oi

At  the  Sunset  Heights  Elementary  School,  selected  by  fhe  A.  A.S.A.  for  its  exhibit  of  outstanding  school 
designs,  Mr.  J.  H.  McBurney,  Superintendent  of  the  Webster  City,  Iowa,  Community  School  District,  soys: 


"...trouble-free  performance,  yet  our  film  schedules 
really  punish  these  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors." 


"Our  projectors  must  run  constantly  against  a  tight 
schedule,  because  we  have  only  one  week  to  show 
rented  films  throughout  our  entire  district. 

"Our  ten  Pageants  stand  up  well  against  this 
grueling  schedule,  seldom  needing  service.  Yet, 
when  service  is  required,  our  Kodak  Audio-Visual 
Dealer  is  quick  to  respond. 

"We  use  Pageants  exclusively." 

One  reason  why  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  stay 
trouble-free — they're  built  to  keep  an  operator  out 
of  trouble. 

No  confusion:  No  parts  for  an  operator  to  attach 


incorrectly.  Reel  arms  and  drive  belts,  for  example, 
are  permanently  attached. 

Easy  operation:  No  trouble-making  threading 
problems.  The  film  path  is  printed  in  red  right  on 
the  machine.  One  try  is  all  anyone  needs  to  thread 
it  properly  without  getting  into  trouble. 

Permanent  lubrication:  No  under-oiling  or  over- 
oiling  problems.  No  need  to  keep  lubrication  rec- 
ords. Pageant  Projectors  are  oiled  for  life  at  the 
factory. 

Ask  your  Kodak  Audio-Visual  Dealer  to  demon- 
strate. Or,  for  literature,  write  for  Bulletin  V3-22.

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  June,    1959 


editorial 


It's  been  a  whole  year  since  we've  said  anything  about  daylighting. 
layiighting,  you  know,  is  that  practice  formerly  advocated  by  glass 
onipanics  and  some  school  architects  which  brings  so  much  day- 
ght  into  the  classrooms  you  can't  use  them  to  teach  in.  At  least 
on  can't  teach  with  audiovisual  materials;  and  you  and  we  know 
lat's  the  best  way  to  teach. 

Last  year  we  cried  out  in  protest  to  an  advertisement  pleading 
ir  classrooms  flooded  with  sunlight,  built  with  "the  largest  possible 
reas  of  glass  to  gather  in  this  light  .  .  .  clear  glass  from  floor  (or 
iw  sill)  to  ceiling,  and  room  wide."  Though  it  was  a  beautiful 
aur-page  fidl  color  ad,  we  didn't  like  what  it  had  to  say.  From  our 
oint  of  view  it  was  completely  in  conflict  with  our  beliefs  about 
istruction. 

We  suggested  that  you  write  the  company  and  tell  them  the  facts 
f  audiovisual  life.  Whether  you  did  or  not,  they've  learned.  We 
eport  progress  —  both  in  glass  making  and  in  ad  writing.  They  now 
ecogni/e  the  need  for  audiovisual  materials  in  teaching.  This  is 
eartening.  What's  more,  they've  got  a  new  kind  of  glass  for  win- 
ows  that  ]jermits  you  to  use  just  as  much  as  before,  but  this  new 
lass  blocks  out  55.8  percent  of  the  light.  That  is  progress. 

Let  me  tell  you  more  about  the  current  ad.  It's  six  full  color  pages 
his  time  telling  about  San   Angelo  Central   High   School   in   San 

ngelo,  Texas.  It's  a  campus  type  school  of  eleven  buildings.  Truly 
I  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  high  schools  we've  ever  seen  or  seen 
ictured.  Teachers,  administrators,  jjupils  and  architects  quoted  in 
lie  above  ad  have  only  highest  praise  for  this  magnificent  school 
lant.  Even  though  glass  has  been  used  lor  both  interior  and  ex- 
erior  walls,  you  can  use  audiovisual  materials  and  equipment. 

Superintendent  Wadzeck  in  an  interview  for  the  ad  said,  ".  .  . 
n  many  places  you  can  see  right  through  the  buildings  because  of 
he  glass."  The  questioner  then  asked,  "Doesn't  that  interfere  with 
he  use  of  visual  aids?"*  The  reply  was  positive  and  direct,  "Not 
n  the  least.  Lhe  plate  glass  in  the  outside  walls  is  a  low-light- 
ransmission  type  and  we  have  drapes  for  the  interior  walls.  We 
ave  invested  over  .S1(),000  in  a  variety  of  visual-audio  (sic)  equip- 
nent  and  use  it  «//  effectively." 

Now,  isn't  that  something!  We  were  delighted  to  see  this  recogni- 
ion  of  the  place  and  importance  of  audiovisual  instruction  in  an 
dvertisement  for  glass.  Furthermore,  there  was  no  emphasis  on 
layliglu.  In  fact,  whereas  the  word  "daylight"  had  been  used  a 
lozen  or  more  times  in  four  pages  last  year,  I  could  find  it  only 
wice  in  this  year's  six  pages. 

I  read  every  word,  too.  Especially  intriguing  is  this  apparently 
lew  idea  of  low-light-transmission  type  glass.  They  point  out  that 
)rdinary  quarter  inch  plate  glass  transmits  89.1  percent  of  the  day- 
ight.  This  new  kind  is  neutral  grey  in  color.  It  lets  in  only  44.2 
)ercent  of  the  light.  This  results  in  reduction  of  glare  and  brightness. 

Now  we  don't  know  a  thing  about  glass  making,  but  if  they  can 
lo  this,  it  would  seem  that  their  research  divisions  could  carry 
progress  fmther.  Surely  they  should  be  able  to  develop  black  plate 
[lass  that  would  transmit  only  00.2  percent  of  the  daylight!  This 
hen  could  be  used  as  an  alternative  to  audiovisual  blinds  and 
lark  shades.  .And  then  they  could  run  tho,se  beautiful  six  ]Jage 
idvertisements  in  audiovisual  magazines  and  we  wouldn't  have  to 
ell  you  about  them  anymore!  You  could  read  them  yourselves!

Television  as  a 


Teaching  Tool 


O 


N  September  4th,  1958,  an  experimental 
project  in  educational  television  was  begun  in 
the  Plainedge  school  system.  During  these  months 
we  have  seen  the  medium  develop  into  an  out- 
standing teaching  tool.  Every  department  within 
the  junior  and  senior  high  school  has  used  tele- 
vision to  enrich,  improve  and  diversify  the  in- 
struction. 

The  Plainedge  school  system  is  typical  of 
Long  Island  schools,  in  that  it  is  located  in  a 
strictly  residential  area  with  all  the  tax  and 
heavy  population  problems  that  this  implies. 
What  is  atypical  is  the  administrative  approach 
to  television.  Several  years  ago,  when  plans  for 
the  new  high  school  were  first  submitted,  there 
was  included  a  complete  master  antenna  system 
that  would  reach  every  room  within  the  building. 
Also  included  in  the  plans  were  a  studio  and 
control  for  a  closed-circuit  originating  point. 
Although  a  separate  sound  system  for  the  tele- 
vision broadcasting  would  have  been  preferred, 
it  was  far  more  practical  and  economical  to  use 
the   schools    central    V.A.    system. 

The  early  planning  for  the  television  program 
was  done  by  the  supervising  principal,  the  assist- 
ing supervising  principals  and  the  high  school 
administrators.  Their  recommendations  were 
then  passed  on  to  the  school  board  for  approval. 
Once  the  board  had  approved  the  project,  the 


284 


administrators  looked  around  for  a  coordinator. 
What  was  needed  was  an  individual  with  both 
educational  and  television  experience,  who  would 
be  able  to  help  the  further  conceptual  develop- 
ment and  then  be  able  to  run  the  program. 

The  previous  year  I  had  been  fortunate  to 
have  been  chosen  by  the  Schenectady  school  sys- 
tem and  the  Mohawk-Hudson  Television  Coun- 
cil to  produce  a  program  over  WRGB  for  the 
schools  affiliated  with  this  group  in  New  York 
State,  Canada  and  New  England.  With  this 
background  plus  several  years  of  teaching  and 
work  in  Audiovisual  aids  I  was  able  to  qualify 
for  this  position— a  job  that  has  given  me  ex- 
citement, creativity  and  enjoyment  that  I  have 
never  before  experienced. 

As  the  plans  for  the  new  school  were  develop- 
ing, so  were  the  concepts  that  would  later  shape 
the  programs  themselves.  It  was  decided  that 
at  Plainedge,  television  was  to  be  used  as  a 
teaching  tool.  The  purpose  of  the  project  was 
not  to  save  teachers,  but  to  raise  the  teaching 
level  by  bringing  to  them  new  methods  and  addi- 
tional resources. 

With  the  development  of  this  concept  came  a 
basic  pattern  of  the  equipment  that  would  be 
needed.  The  equipment  had  to  be  simple,  as  it 
was  going  to  be  completely  student  operated 
and  maintained.  The  control  system  would  have

During  a  progiam  on  Japanese  culture,  a  student  inside  the  control  room  selects  the  camera  picture 
that  will  go  on  throughout  the  school  (as  shown  in  the  small  set,  center).  He  also  controls  the 
Zoomar   camera. 


to  be  limited  to  as  few  operations  as  possible 
and  all  this  would  have  to  be  done  within  a 
limited  budget. 

After  investigating  all  the  equipment  that 
was  then  available  it  was  found  that  there  was 
none  that  would  serve  our  purpose.  At  this  time 
it  was  decided  to  see  if  it  were  feasible  and 
possible  to  have  our  equipment  custom  designed 
to  meet  our  needs.  We  found  a  company  in  New 
York  City  who  could  supply  us  with  highly 
effective  equipment,  custom  designed  for  our 
needs   and   within    our   budget. 

Then  came  the  realization  that  to  be  of  great- 
est use  the  entire  setup  would  have  to  be  porta- 
ble. From  this  evolved  the  equipment  that  we 
now  have.  In  constant  use  are  two  independent, 
basic  camera  chains.  Each  is  equipped  with  an 
automatic  light  compensator.  One  camera  is  stu- 
dent operated  while  the  other  is  remotely  con- 
trolled from  our  control  console.  This  remotely 
controlled  camera  also  is  equipped  with  a  three 
to  one  Zoomar  lens.  We  can  now  televise  from 
any  room  in  our  building  to  any  other.  Within 
fifteen  minutes  our  complete  television  network 
can  be  moved  to  another  part  of  the  building. 
One  camera  may  be  used  to  televise  to  the  rest 
of  the  school  while  the  other  is  moved  into  a 
classroom  with  several  receivers  (we  have  twelve, 
all  mobile)  for  use  within  that  room  alone;  the 
camera  can  be  operated  by  the  instructor  without 
student  assistance.  The  teacher  uses  controls 
in  this  situation. 


Here  is  a  review  of  the  steps  involved  in  the 
organization  of  the  closed-circuit  television  pro- 
gram in  a  high  school.  The  administration  de- 
cides what  the  needs  of  the  school  are.  Can 
television  help  meet  these  needs?  If  telvision 
can  meet  these  needs,  what  will  be  the  basic 
objective  of  the  project?  What  will  be  the  cost 
of  such  a  program? 

Suitable  information  must  be  prepared  to  be 
submitted  to  the  school  board  for  approval.  Once 
approval  comes,  personnel  must  be  hired  to  put 
the  project  in  operation.  A  constant  re-evalua- 
tion of  the  project  is  carried  on  to  see  if  the 
objectives  are  being  met. 

After  the  designing  of  the  equipment  was 
complete  it  became  necessary  to  face  the  prob- 
lem of  making  sure  that  our  programs  fit  the 
basic  aim  of  being  teaching  tools.  To  do  this 
it  was  imperative  that  each  program  be  designed 
to  fit  a  specific  part  of  the  course  syllabus  and 
that  it  would  reach  the  students  at  the  exact 
time  that  area  was  being  studied.  Over  the 
period  of  time  this  project  has  been  in  operation 
three  different  types  of  programs  have  evolved. 
Each  meeting  our  requirements,  but  each  meet- 
ing them  in  its  own  way. 

First,  there  is  the  type  of  program  that  brings 
to  the  classroom  resources  that  otherwise  would 
be  unavailable.  A  majority  of  our  programs  are 
of  this  type.  We  have  had  the  cooperation  of 
businesses  both  large  and  small,  foreign  coun- 
tries, teachers  and  outstanding  personalties.  We

A  model  of  Leonardo  da  Vinci's  "file  omer"  is  used  in  an  introductory  program  to  science  and   in- 
vention   ,n    the   jun.or   high   school.    At   left   is   Dr.  Roberto    Guatelli,    da    Vinci    audioritv    from    IBM 
which   provided    twenty   working   models   of   the   latter's   inventions.     In    the   center   is    the    author    and 
at  right  the  camera  operator  watches  the  studio  monitor  for  focus  and  lighting. 


have  found  that  by  using  television  and  thus 
reaching  a  greater  number  of  students  we  have 
been  able  to  have  this  cooperation  that  otherwise 
would  have  been  impossible.  We  have  also  been 
able  to  make  better  use  of  the  skills  possessed 
by  members  of  our  faculty.  Now  many  students 
may  receive  the  benefits  of  projects  and  special 
presentations  taking  place  within  other  classes 
in  the  same  subject  area. 

The  second  type  of  program  enables  teachers 
to  present  material  in  a  much  more  effective 
manner  than  ever  before.  For  our  biology  classes 
we  now  move  the  remote  controlled  Zoomar 
camera  and  four  receiving  sets  into  the  class- 
room. For  the  first  time  "every  student  in  the 
class  can  follow  along  in  a  dissection  step  by 
step  with  the  instructor  by  watching  the  screens. 
Gone  are  the  days  when  several  groups,  one  at 


286 


a  tirne,  came  up  to  the  desk,  watched  a  demon- 
stration and  then  went  back  to  their  seats  to 
work.  Now  an  entire  class  period  can  be  spent 
on  this  presentation.  Eveiy  student  has  a  front 
seat,  every  student  works  on  the  same  thing  at 
the  same  time.  By  using  om-  high  magnification 
lenses  it  is  possible  to  fill  up  the  entire  screen 
with  the  smallest  of  objects.  Electronics  classes 
for  the  first  time  are  learning  to  take  apart  and 
put  together  a  switch  that  up  to  now  has  been 
too  small  for  more  than  one  student  to  see 
demonstrated  at  a   time. 

The  third  type  of  program,  while  not  as  com- 
mon as  the  first  two,  is  still  an  extremely  impor- 
tant one.  A  library  orientation  that  at  one  time 
would  have  taken  close  to  a  month,  with  one 
class  going  to  the  library  at  a  time,  was  com- 
pleted in  less  than  two  days.  By  televising  from 

EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  June,    195? 


the  library  into  the  English  classes  we  were  able 
to  reach  all  2,200  siiiclents  and  yet  free  both  the 
library  and  its  staff  for  other  activities.  The  ad- 
tninistration  used  television  for  their  orientation 
programs  also.  Hy  this  method  information 
reached  the  students  in  a  better  way  and  at  the 
same  time  saved  both  time  and  effort. 

As  is  true  of  many  things,  the  television  proj- 
ect is  only  as  good  as  the  programs  themselves. 
The  programs  at  Plainedge  are  unique,  not  only 
in  the  areas  they  cover,  but  also  in  the  way  they 
are  developed.  There  is  no  such  thing  as  a 
regularly  scheduled  jjrogram.  The  programs  are 
done  only  if  they  are  recjuested  by  a  teacher 
or  a  department.  Rarely  will  a  class  see  more 
than  two  or  three  television  prograins  a  month. 
We  prograin  for  every  department  in  the  school. 
We  mold  our  programs  to  fit  the  classroom,  not 
our  classrooms  to  fit  the  program. 

.\t  the  beginning  our  teachers  were  skeptical. 
We  had  many  who  had  had  previous  experiences 
with  educational  television  that  were  not  pleas- 
ant. For  this  reason  programming  was  started  at 
a  slow  pace.  All  of  our  earlier  programs  started 
from  within  the  television  department  and  were 
then  offered  to  the  individual  teachers.  When- 
ever possible  we  tried  to  get  individual  teachers 
to  help  us  with  the  programs.  At  first  this  was 
not  an  easy  task. 

The  change  that  we  were  looking  for,  where 
the  teachers  would  themselves  design  the  pro- 
gram, started  with  a  series  of  three  programs  on 
the  elections.  These  jjrograms  were  done  at  the 
request  of,  and  under  the  guidance  of,  the  Citi- 
zenship Education  dejjartment.  The  first  program 
had  a  representative  from  each  major  party  dis- 
cussing the  "Grass  Root"  politician.  This  pro- 
gram was  followed  by  two  others  where  the  can- 
didates for  office  were  interviewed  by  students 
from  the  classes  receiving  the  programs. 

This  scries  brought  us  two  important  firsts. 
For  the  first  time  a  department  was  almost 
entirely  responsible  for  a  program.  By  suggesting 
the  programs,  by  arranging  for  the  speakers  and 
by  having  students  from  the  classes  ask  the  ques- 
tions the  teachers  were  able  to  have  these  pro- 
grams cover  exactly  what  they  wanted  them  to. 

These  jjrograms  also  gave  us  the  first  oppor- 
tunity to  use  the  school's  intercom  system  for 
a  question  and  answer  period.  Mid-way  through 
the  program  we  allowed  time  for  classroom  dis- 
cussion and  during  this  period  the  rooms  were 
able  to  call  in  questions  for  the  speakers.  This 
gave  the  teachers  another  opportunity  to  have 
what  they  wanted   (overed. 

The  election  series  was  a  turning  point  in 
the  programming  at  Plainedge.  We  have  now 
reached  a  point  where  our  programs  are  devel- 
oped in  such  a  way  as  to  meet  the  objectives  of 
the  television  project  raised  long  before  school 
opens. 

The  basic  idea  for  a  program  will  usually 
come  from  a  teacher  who  will  inention  that 
televising  a  specific  area  would  be  of  great  helii. 
At  this  jjoint  1  will  usually  check  with  other 
teachers  in  the  field  and  see  if  this  program 
will  fill  the  needs  of  many  classes.  I  will  find 
out  if  the  program  fits  directly  into  the  course 
of  study  for  which  it  is  intetuled.  If  the  ]3ro- 
gram  woidd  not  be  directly  related,  or  if  he 
or  she  is  the  only  teacher  who  can  use  the  pro- 


gram at  that  time,  the  idea  will  be  dropped. 

If  there  appears  to  be  a  demand  for  the  pro- 
gram the  next  question  is,  who  should  do  it? 
.Should  we  bring  in  an  outside  resource  or  do 
we  have  in  the  school  a  teacher  who  could  han- 
dle the  program?  Often  the  teacher  who  had 
the  idea  for  the  program  will  have  a  specific 
person  in  mind.  At  least  one  person  from  the 
departiTient  will  work  directly  with  me  on  the 
program  until  completion. 

If  an  outside  source  is  needed  I  will  usually 
make  the  initial  contact.  If,  for  example,  indus- 
try X  says  that  they  will  be  glad  to  help  us  with 
a  program,  a  ineeting  is  arranged.  At  this  meet- 
ing there  will  usually  be  representatives  from 
the  industry,  the  teacher  who  suggested  the 
jjrogram,  the  department  chairman  and  myself. 
Before  the  meeting  takes  place  the  teacher  and 
the  chairman  will  have  contacted  the  other 
teachers  who  will  be  able  to  use  the  program. 
The  objectives  of  the  program,  what  they  wish 
included  and  when  the  program  should  be 
scheduled  as  to  tie  in  directly  with  the  subject 
area  are  discussed  beforehand. 

At  this  meeting  the  teachers  will  find  out  if 
industry  X  will  be  able  to  do  this  program  for 
us.  If  the  answer  is  affirmative  a  tentative  pro- 
gram is  set  up.  At  this  point  the  representative 
must  return  to  his  company  to  see  if  they  can 
meet  the  requirements  of  the  department. 

.Several  weeks  later  I  receive  a  plan  for  the 
jjrogram  from  the  industrial  representative.  If 
this  outline  does  not  meet  the  wishes  of  the 
teachers  the  program  will  be  dropped  at  this 
point.  During  this  period  there  will  of  course 
be  much  communication  between  the  school  and 
the  company.  If  the  department  is  satisfied  with 
the  suggested  program  the  teacher  working  with 
the  jjroject  will  now  make  up  an  outline  for  all 
the  teachers  in  the  department.  1  would  like  to 
mention  that  several  programs  were  cancelled 
when  they  were  not  available  at  the  exact  time 
they  were  needed. 

This  outline  for  the  teachers  will  include 
objectives  of  the  program,  when  it  is  being  tele- 
vised, by  whom,  content  as  it  relates  to  the  sub- 
ject area,  suggested  pre  and  post  program  activi- 
ties and  often  a  list  of  inaterials  that  industry 
X  has  made  available  for  the  use  of  the  teachers 
in   connection   with    the    forthcoming   program. 

It  is  now  up  to  the  teachers.  If  they  wish  to 
use  the  program  a  form  is  filled  out  which  insures 
the  teacher  that  a  television  set  will  be  in  the 
right  room  at  the  right  time.  In  all  cases  pro- 
grams are  repeated  so  as  to  reach  the  greatest 
nuinber  of  students  as  possible. 

Brielly  this  describes  the  Plainedge  program. 
We  believe  we  are  doing  the  right  thing,  but  we 
are  not  sure.  To  see  if  we  are  meeting  our  ob- 
jectives Dr.  Roscoe  Brown  of  New  York  Univer- 
sity is  researching  oin-  entire  TV  program. 
Results  of  our  early  research  will  be  available 
shortly. 

This  type  of  jjrogramming  has  had  direct  im- 
plications throughout  the  school.  The  principal 
object  is  of  course,  the  improving  of  instruction. 
We  believe  this  object  is  being  met.  We  are 
constantly  reaching  for  more  effective  and  en- 
riched teaching.  By  using  clo.sed-circuit  tele- 
vision as  a  teaching  tool  we  feel  that  this  is 
taking  place.

Techniques  for  Making 
Transparencies 


H ROUGH  the  years  people  depending 
upon  visual  methods  of  communication  have 
depended  strongly  on  collections  of  pictorial 
materials  called  tearsheet  files  or  "])icture 
morgues."  Most  of  the  material  is  taken  from 
magazines,  brochures,  newspapers.  These  picture 
files  form  an  extremely  valuable  source  of  mate- 
rial to  be  used  for  bulletin  boards,  flannel 
boards,  still  picture  sets,  etc.  Frequently  en- 
largement of  this  material  is  desirable.  Some 
teachers  have  taken  the  pictorial  material, 
mounted  it  carefully,  eliminating  unwanted  con- 
tent, and  photographed  it  either  on  black  and 
white  or  color  film,  and  made  it  into  slides. 
Use  of  the  slide  projector  or  the  opaque  projec- 
tor of  course  magnifies  the  material  on  the 
screen  to  a  size  that  will  permit  the  entire  class 
to  view  the  jiicture  content  all  at  one  time. 
Giving  these  picture  files  a  flexibility  in  use  is 
extremely  important  when  a  teacher  desires 
varied  approaches  in  her  method  of  communi- 
cating. 

With  the  increased  use  of  large  size  transparent 
overhead  projectors,  experimentation  began  in 
trying  to  convert  pictorial  material  from  the 
magazine  page  to  a  projectable  transparency.  A 
great  many  approaches  were  made  to  this  prob- 
lem. A  number  of  years  ago  commercial  artists 
found  they  could  remove  type  from  printed 
pages  with  transparent  tape.  Others  found  they 


288 


could  transfer  ink  from  a  printed  page  with  a 
combination  of  soap  and  turpentine.  Through 
a  combination  use  of  rubber  cement  and  special 
liquid  plastic  in  an  oven,  an  exciting  method 
of  transferring  printed  images  on  glass  evolved. 
The  results  were  excellent,  but  the  process  was 
long  and  involved.  Specially  coated  frisket  paper 
used  by  artists  was  found  to  "lift"  the  image 
from  the  surface  of  clay  coated  paper.  (See 
Educational  Screen  and  AUDIOVISUAL  Guide, 
February,  1955.)  Due  to  the  translucency  of  the 
base  material,  good  projection  was  slightly  hin- 
dered. Consequently,  rubber  cement  was  used 
directly  on  clear  acetate.  If  done  carefully  by  a 
person  with  experience,  good  results  would  occur 
when  conditions  were  favorable.  The  resulting 
transparency  had  to  be  protected  and  transpar- 
entized  with  the  use  of  a  clear  plastic  spray.  Even 
at  their  best  these  transparencies  are  very  tender 
and  can  easily  be  damaged  by  careless  handling 
and  high  temperatures. 

Through  all  this  experimentation,  then,  vari- 
ous methods  have  evolved.  One  which  has  proven 
extremely  successful  involves  the  use  of  heat  and 
pressure.  A  specially  prepared  transparent  film 
called  Transpara-Film  '  has  been  developed  pri- 
marily for  converting  printed  materials  to  a 
projectable  form.  Transpara-Film  is  a  clear  ace- 
tate coated  with  a  dry  adhesive  which,  when 
heated  and  placed  imder  pressure,   will  adhere

Choose  a  picture  of  good  quality. 


to  the  printed  surface  of  a  tearsheet.  After  the 
film  has  adhered  tightly  to  the  picture  surface 
it  is  placed  in  water.  The  water  soaks  through 
the  paper,  releasing  it  from  the  acetate  and 
leaving  the  printed  ink  surface  tightly  impreg- 
nated into  the  special  adhesive  surface  of  the 
film.  This  then  makes  the  image  transparent 
and  projectable.  The  resulting  transparency  is 
far  more  resistant  to  abrasion  and  heat  than 
the  older  rubber  cement  type  transparencies. 

With  the  ever  increasing  use  of  tearsheet  mate- 
rials in  the  teaching  situation  the  dry  mounting 
method  of  mounting  pictures  has  become  popu- 
lar. This  same  dry  mounting  press  also  provides 
the  necessary  heat  and  pressiue  for  the  above 
Transpara-Film  process. 

The  following  steps  give  a  brief  description 
of  how  this  process  is  possible. 

A.  To  obtain  good  transparencies  by  this 
method  it  is  important  to  choose  a  picture  of 
good  quality  with  no  abrasions  or  wrinkles  on 
its  surface.  It  is  important  to  realize  that  the 
resulting  transparency  is  the  same  size  as  the 
original  picture.  Thus,  this  system  will  lend 
itself  to  the  making  of  the  larger  size  transpar- 
encies for  overhead  and  .H'4x4  projectors.  Since 
])rojection  will  magnify  the  printer's  screen  and 
blemishes  in  the  original  it  is  never  advisable 
to  make  slides  smaller  than  .^',4x4  by  this  method. 

H.  For  this  system  of  ink  transfer  to  work 
])roperly,  it  is  important  that  only  pictures 
printed  on  clay  (oated  jiajjer  be  used.  By  taking 
a  wet  finger  and  gently  rubbing  over  an  im- 
printed area  of  the  page,  the  moisture  will  dis- 
solve the  white  day  surface.  If  the  paper  is  clay 
coated,  a  white  residue  should  form  on  the  tip 
of  your  finger.  If  this  appears,  it  is  quite  safe  to 
assume    that   the   ink   will    be    transferable. 

C.  Trim   the  picture  slightly  larger  than  de-

Place    film-picture    combination    in    soapy    water. 


Peel  off  paper   batking. 


Wash  off  remaining  clay  and  paper  fiber. 


Spray  film  for  greater  transparency. 


sired  ;ind  cut  a  piece  of  Tian.sj):tra-Filni  the 
same  size  or  slightly  smaller  so  that  none  o(  the 
film  will  extend  beyond  the  edges  of  the  picture. 
1).  To  assure  a  good  transfer  it  is  important 
that  the  picture  contain  no  moisture.  Any  mois 
tine  may  be  removed  by  placing  the  picture  in 
tlie  warm  dry  mounting' j)ress  for  a  few  seconds. 

E.  The  press  must  be  set  at  a  temperature  of 
270°  to  make  transfers.  Too  little  heat  will 
prevent  the  film  from  adhering  while  too  much 
heat  will  (ause  blisters  to  form.  To  assure  good 
all  over  pressure  and  heat  a  special  combination 
or  "sandwich"  of  materials  is  important.  .Most  of 
the  elements  of  this  sandwich  are  readily  avail- 
able in  most  communities  or  they  may  be  ob- 
tained in  kit  form.  The  elements  are  as  follows: 
(see  accompanying  diagram) 

1.  A  sheet  of  masonite  to  iiurcase  press 
pressure. 

2.  A  smooth  piece  of  metal.  (A  photo- 
graphic ferrotype  tin  is  excellent  for  this 
purpose.) 

3.  A  sheet  of  felt. 

4.  The   printed    picture    facing   upward. 

5.  Transpara-Iilm  with  adhesive  side  against 
face  of  ]jriiued  jiicture. 

6.  The  last  element,  another  smooth  metal 
sheet  with  smooth  side  against  film. 

Now  place  the  entire  "sandwich"  into  the  dry 
mounting  press  for  8   to   10   minutes. 

F.  Place  the  film-picture  combination  in 
soapy  water  for  five  to  ten  minutes.  This  may 
require  longer  time  depending  upon  the  quality 
of  clay  coating,  etc. 

G.  When  water  has  penetrated  the  paper  sur- 
lace,  pull  oft  the  jjaper  backing.  Sometimes  it 
jndls  olf  easily;  at  other  times  it  may  have  to 
be  removed  a  small  section  at  a  time. 

H.  With  a  piece  of  cotton  or  a  soft  rag  wash 
off  any  remaining  white  clay  or  |ja]jer  fibers  or 
you  will  not  have  a  good  transparency.  Wash 
off  any  soapy  water  and  allow  traiisparencv  to 
dry.  Throughout  the  process  the  film  may  have 
had  a  tendency  to  curl.  Never  force  the  film 
to  flatten  out  for  you  may  damage  the  adherence. 
However,  after  the  transparency  dries  it  will 
be  relatively  Hat. 

1.  Although  the  resulting  transparency  will 
project,  an  even  better  projection  can  be  ob- 
tained by  giving  the  ink  side  of  the  film  a  light 
coat  of  dear  plastic  such  as  clear  Krylon  -  spray. 
A  light  coat  of  vaseline  will  also  help  transpar- 
entize  the  film. 

J.  The  transparency  is  now  ready  to  moimt 
as  desired. 

It  is  important  at  all  times  to  work  cleanly. 
Dust  and  lint  will  cause  blemishes  if  allowed 
between  film  and  picture  surfaces.  It  is  possible 
to  transfer  a  picture  exactly  as  it  exists  on  the 
printed  page  if  instructions  are  carefidly  fol- 
lowed. 

Through  the  use  of  this  system  a  great  many 
new  and  varied  materials  can  be  made  from 
your  picture  file  for  projection,  and  for  use  on 
light  boxes  and   in  cliaze  reproduction.

ESSENTIAL  OR  EXPENDABLE? 


AV  Courses 
for  Teachers 


i->|iciiivf  tt-aduis  need  to  practice  with  modern 
jols  of  teaching. 


by  J.  Robert  Murray 


HOW  essential  are  courses  in 
audiovisual  instruction?  Are 
hey  necessary,  valuable,  a  waste  of 
ime? 

In  1949,  at  a  conference  of  fifteen 
pecialists  in  teacher  education  and 
ludiovisual  instruction  held  at  the 
Jnited  States  Office  of  Education, 
our  recommendations  were  made 
IS  beinsr  of  prime  importance  at 
hat  time.  They  were: 

1.  That  teacher  education  insti- 
utions  must  make  certain  that 
heir  graduates  were  prepared  to 
ise  audiovisual  materials  in  their 
caching. 

2.  That  such  institutions  which 
lid  not  then  have  audiovisual  cen- 
er  should  establish  them  and  use 
hem  as  laboratories  for  materials 
listribution. 

3.  That  they  should  take  the 
responsibility  for  helping  school 
ystems  with  in-service  educational 
programs  with  s])ecial  reference  to 
ludiovisual   materials. 

4.  That  teacher  education  insti- 
tutions should  make  use  of  the 
most  effective  instructional  ma- 
terials.' 

In  1956,  not  cjuite  ten  years  later, 
Benda  found  the  belief  prevailed 
among  New  jersey  college  instruc- 
tors that  students  entering  the 
teaching  profession  could  obtain 
the  necessary  training  in  the  use  of 
audiovisual  materials  through  inci- 
dental classroom  procedines  rather 
than  from  specific  courses  on  the 
subject.-   This  belief  is  so  prevalent 


in  Pennsylvania  at  the  present  time 
that  there  is  a  move  on  to  reduce 
the  present  course  allotment  time 
or  to  absorb  the  audiovisual  course 
into  other  methods  classes. 

I.  College  Staff  Opinion 

Of  The  Audiovisual  Course 

A  general  indication  of  what 
teachers  college  instructional  per- 
sonnel think  about  the  audiovisual 
course  is  exemplified  in  the  follow- 
ing example.  An  audiovisual  in- 
structor was  approached  by  a  fellow 
teacher  and  asked  if  it  would  be 
possible  for  a  student  to  skip  the 
audiovisual  course.  It  seemed  that 
the  boy  could  already  operate  most 
of  the  equi]3ment.  But  what  does 
research  tell  us  concerning  the  pre- 
service  audiovisual  course  in  teacher 
education? 

II.  ResearcTi  Studies 

In  Audiovisual  Education 

A.  Beginning  Teachers'  Needs 

White  found  that  school  super- 
visors in  the  state  of  Wisconsin  be- 
lieved that  beginning  teachers 
should  be  fully  prepared  to  use 
audiovisual  methods  when  they 
leave  college.  They  wanted  teach- 
ers they  selected  for  their  schools: 

1.  to  be  acquainted  with  the  ma- 
terials that  apply  to  the  teachers' 
own  fields, 

2.  to  be  competent  in  the  me- 
chanical   as])ects   of    the    materials, 

3.  to  understand  and  ajjpreciate 
the  pedagogical  values  of  audio- 
visual   niL'thods  ^  for    producing    a 


more    effective    learning    situation, 

4.  to  know  how  to  use  audio- 
visual materials  so  as  to  achieve 
more  effectively  their  inherent  val- 
ues and 

5.  to  know  how  to  evaluate  the 
methods  and  results  they  produce.^ 

The  audiovisual  specialist  would 
be  the  first  person  to  concede  the 
difficulty  in  meeting  these  objec- 
tives, and  yet  these  are  the  major 
purposes  of  every  well  organized 
basic  audiovisual  course  in  the 
country.  ■ 

In  conclusion  it  would  appear 
that  the  majority  of  these  students 
felt  that  the  course  should  be  of- 
fered for  three  credit  hours  to  per- 
mit better  coverage  of  certain  skills 
and  technicjucs  which  they  thought 
of  potential  usefulness  when  they 
started  teaching.  They  also  felt 
that  the  course  should  immediately 
precede  practice  teaching. 

B.  Ulilizalion  of  Materials 

White  found  in  his  study  the 
following  items: 

1.  That  as  a  group  (only  two 
had  taken  an  audiovisual  course) 
the  teachers  surveyed  did  not  use 
all  of  the  audiovisual  materials  at 
their  disposal. 

2.  That  those  teachers  who  did 
use  the  six  common  methods  sur- 
veyed did  not  perform  at  the  high- 
est levels  of  usage. 

3.  That  teachers  were  cognizant 
of  their  own  deficiencies  in  the 
area  of  audiovisual  methods,  but 
only     to    the    point    where    their 


EdScreen  &  AV  Cuide^June,   1959 


291 


knowledge  of  the  methods  would  al- 
low them  to  realize  and  recognize 
I  heir  deficiencies. 

1.  That  the  in-service  training 
programs  now  found  in  schools 
such  as  those  coiitae  ted  in  the  study 
cannot  be  depended  upon  to  pro- 
vide competency  in  the  area  of 
audiovisual   methods. 

5.  That  all  people  contacted  in 
the  study,  teachers  and  administra- 
tors alike,  were  eager  to  have  teach- 
ers better  prepared  to  use  audio- 
visual methods. 

In  conclusion  White  recom- 
mended that  each  pre  service 
teacher  take  a  complete  and  sep- 
arate course  in  audiovisual  instruc- 
tion.'' 

C.  Teaching  Competency  and  Utili- 
zation of  Materials 

Camp  found  in  his  survey  in 
New  York  State  that,  in  general, 
there  is  a  significant  positive  rela- 
tionship between  administrators' 
ratings  of  teacher  competency  and 
the  extent  of  audiovisual  utiliza- 
tion. Although  he  found  no  signif- 
icant relationship  between  the  level 
of  audiovisual  training  and  admin- 
istrators' ratings  of  teacher  com- 
petency, there  was  a  significant 
positive  relationship  between  the 
level  of  audiovisual  training  and 
the  extent  of  audiovisual  utiliza- 
tion in  the  group  studied. 

Teachers  judged  as  most  com- 
petent may  or  may  not  have  had 
formal  audiovisual  training,  but 
they  are  much  more  likely  to  use 
audiovisual  materials  extensively 
than  those  teachers  rated  average 
or  poor.  The  teachers  surveyed,  in 
general,  felt  that  the  extent  of  use 
of  audiovisual  methods  by  the  fac- 
ulty in  their  teacher  preparation 
institutions  had  some  degree  of  in- 
fluence on  the  extent  to  which  the 
teachers  themselves  utilized  these 
materials.'' 

This  perhaps  proves  the  old 
adage  that  we  teach,  not  as  we  are 
instructed  to  teach,  but  as  we  have 
been  taught.  In  one  of  the  state 
teachers  colleges  of  Pennsylvania, 
it  was  found  that  approximately 
21  percent  of  the  total  teaching 
staff  had  taken  an  audiovisual 
course  within  the  past  fourteen 
years.  Less  than  10  percent  of  the 
faculty  had  taken  a  graduate  course 
in  audiovisual  during  this  period  of 
time,  and  approximately  20  percent 
of  those  that  had  taken  a  course 
were  training  school  staff  rather 
than  regular  college  classroom 
instructors.  This  survey  may  be 
typical  of  the  United  States,  but  it 
is  doubtful,  since  Pennsylvania  has 
required  audiovisual  training  since 


about  1910  and  many  of  the  staff 
members  are  Pennsylvania  grad- 
uates. It  may  be  that  in  other  states 
where  audiovisual  is  not  required, 
the  percentage  xcould  not  be  this 
high. 

This  is  not  a  criticism  oi  the  in- 
stitution, the  teachers  or  their  alma 
maters,  but  points  out  the  real 
need  for  good  in-service  audiovisual 
training  within  teacher  education 
faculties.  The  remarkable  part  here 
is  that  many  of  the.se  teachers  have 
taken  their  time  and  made  great  ef- 
fort to  acquaint  themselves  with 
these  modern  tools  of  communica- 
tion, rather  than  be  content  with 
the  traditional  lecture  method.  It 
is  disturbing  that  a  situation  such 
as  this  exists  in  teachers  colleges 
where  the  personnel  involved  may 
determine,  through  their  curric- 
ulum coinmittees,  what  courses 
should  be  taught. 

Camp  also  found  that  the  ma- 
jority of  teachers  and  administra- 
tors surveyed  indicated  that  they 
favored  a  basic  course  in  audio- 
visual instruction  as  a  requirement 
in  the  teacher  preparation  curric- 
ulum. Of  the  school  administrators 
surveyed,  97.6  percent  felt  that  this 
basic  course  shoidd  be  required  of 
all  classroom  teachers."  It  is  worth- 
while to  note  that  the  administra- 
tors' judgments  regarding  the  con- 
tent of  a  basic  course  in  this  area 
were  in  general  agreement  with  the 
recommendations  of  the  National 
Education  Association  and  with 
standard  texts  in  the  field.  This 
means  that  the  course  would  have 
to  meet  on  the  average  of  three 
clock  hours  per  week  for  a  full 
semester  in  order  to  cover  ade- 
quately the  goals  previously  dis- 
cussed as  being  basic. 

In  connection  with  Camp's  study, 
a  step  in  the  right  direction  has 
recently  been  completed  by  The 
Pennsylvania  ,'\udio-Visual  Asso- 
ciation for  Teacher  Education.  For 
several  years  the  members  have 
been  working  among  themselves 
to  prepare  a  basic  audiovisual 
course  of  study  for  all  teacher  edu- 
cation institutions.  The  Pennsyl- 
vania Department  of  Public  In- 
struction is  publishing  and  distrib- 
uting the  outline.  This  is  strictly  a 
voluntary  course  of  study,  but  if 
it  is  followed  by  each  teacher  edu- 
cation institution,  Pennsylvania 
can  be  assured  that  all  gracluating 
teachers  have  had  the  opportunity 
at  least  of  studying  what  is  consid- 
ered most  important  in  audiovisual 
education. 

/).  Audio-Visual  Course  Weaknesses 
lienda's    study    in     New     Jersey 


pointed  out  weaknesses  which  seem 
to  be  typical  of  many  regions  in 
the  U.  S.  These  were: 

1.  That  beginning  teachers  were 
not  fully  aware  of  the  various 
media's  contribution  to  the  teach- 
ing process. 

2.  That  broad  understandings  of 
the  various  media  were  deficient 
in  some  students  even  after  a  pre- 
liminary course   in  audiovisual. 

(It  may  be  pointed  out  that  with 
a  class  which  meets  for  an  hour's 
credit  on  Saturday,  it  is  the  remark- 
able teacher  indeed  who  can  meet 
the  prescribed  goals  of  audiovisual 
education.) 

3.  That  there  was  no  established 
course  of  study. 

4.  That  classes  were  too  large. 

5.  That  equipment  was  lacking. 

6.  That  instructors  were  too  busy 
with  other  courses  or  college  du- 
ties. 

7.  That  the  audiovisual  courses 
emphasized  operation  of  equipment 
rather  than  effective  selection  and 
utilization. 

8.  That  students  were  not  af- 
forded sufficient  opportunity  to  ob- 
serve the  use  of  the  various  media 
in  actual  practice.  (Too  often  these 
methods  are  only  used  in  the  audio- 
visual class  as  demonstrations,  but 
never  witnessed  in  other  college 
classes.) 

9.  That  colleges  have  not  stressed 
the  importance  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials as  an  integral  part  of  teacher 
learning  processes. 

In  conclusion,  Benda  recom- 
mended that  students  must  not  be 
expected  to  receive  all  their  train- 
ing in  the  use  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials from  other  methods  courses. 
Certain  understandings  and  skills 
are  taught  only  in  audiovisual  edu- 
cation courses.  He  goes  on  to  say 
that  the  basic  pre-service  course 
should  meet  three  times  per  week 
lor  one  semester." 

E.  Utilization  of  Materials 
in  Adult  Education 

In  a  study  dealing  with  over 
5,000  teachers  in  the  public  adult 
schools  of  California,  Harris  found 
some  results  very  similar  to  the  pre- 
vious studies.  Teachers  with  audio- 
visual training  used  the  main  ma- 
terials in  ratios  of  from  two  to  one 
to  three  to  one  over  teachers  with- 
out formal  audiovisual  training. 

A  very  important  finding  was 
that  teaching  experience  had  no 
significant  effect  on  the  usage  of 
audiovisual  materials.'^  This  points 
out  the  fallacy  of  many  college  pro- 
fessors' viewjjoints  that  the  begin- 
ning teachers  can  acquaint  them- 
selves with  these  "audiovisual  aids" 


292 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  June,    1959 


after  they  get  out  into  the  field  and 
gain  the  necessary  experience. 

III.  Audiovisual  Training  — 
Separate  Course  Or  Integrated 
Into  Other  Methods  Courses? 

With  the  impetus  of  visual  sen- 
sory methods  back  in  the  early 
1920's  the  question  arose:  should 
the  courses  in  visual  instruction  be 
separate  or  should  guidance  be  of- 
fered   in   special   metiiods   courses? 

At  fust  the  recommendations  by 
such  leaders  as  Freeman",  Ander- 
son'o,  Gregory",  and  McClusky'2 
were  that  the  subject  should  de- 
velop within  each  methods  course. 
However,  by  1932  McCIusky  had 
modified  his  original  recommenda- 
tion to  state  that  a  separate  course 
was  necessary  for  emphasis. ^^ 

Yeager,  in  discussing  the  work 
offered  at  the  University  of  Pitts- 
burgh, made  the  statement  that 
'Since  methods  courses  do  not 
place  adequate  emphasis  on  the 
use  and  care  of  visuaJ-sensory  aids, 
separate  courses  are  necessary  so 
that  evriy  prospective  and  in-serv- 
ice teacher  will  be  brought  in  di- 
rect contact,  through  participation 
and  application,  with  visual-sensory 
aids  developed  sequentially  and 
practically  applied."^* 

IV.  Future  of  Audiovisual 
Education 

What  will  the  teaciier  compe- 
tency in  the  field  of  audiovisual 
education  be  twenty-five  years  from 
now?  This  is  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant present  day  problems. 

Xocl  points  out  that  even  now 
the  quality  and  variety  of  audio- 
visual materials  greatly  outflank 
teacher  competency  in  effective  use 
of  them.  There  is  statistical  proof 
of  our  failure  to  use  even  a  small 
percentage  of  educational  radio 
programs.  Everywhere  you  turn 
there  is  a  valuable  source  of  pic- 
torial materials,  yet  teacher  use  of 
these  materials  is  very  limited.  De- 
veloping teacher  competency  in 
the  use  of  these  materials  is  a 
res]Jonsibility  of  both  teacher  edu- 
cation institutions  and  school  ad- 
ministrators. 

The  problem  has  two  aspects,  in- 
service  and  pre-service  training. 
Teachers  colleges  have  the  primary 
responsibility  for  the  pre-service 
asfiect.  Indications  are  that  teacher 
education  institutions  are  begin- 
ning to  recognize  the  problem.  The 
future  will  bring  courses,  units, 
and  practice  experiences  into  the 
teacher  training  curricidum,  which 
will  assure  teacher  training  com- 
])etency  in  audiovisual  education. 
Many    teacher    education    institu- 


In   lari;c  classes,   AV    teacher   must   often   rely  on   supplementary   materials. 


tions  will  require  this  work  and 
college  instructors  will  make  use 
of  these  materials  as  an  integral 
]5art  of  their  classes.^-''. 

McCIusky  states  that  twenty-five 
years  ago  the  niunber  of  audiovis- 
ual specialists  with  doctor's  de- 
grees could  be  counted  on  one 
hand.  Phi  Delta  Kappan,  February, 
1952,  reported  no  less  than  fifty 
doctorial  theses  in  progress  in  the 
audiovisual  field.  The  number  of 
higher  educational  institutions  of- 
fering courses  in  audiovisual  has 
increased  from  21  to  over  250  dur- 
ing the  last  twenty-five  years.*" 
Moldstad,  writing  in  the  Audio- 
Visual  Communications  Revieiu,  in- 
dicates that  there  have  been  ap- 
proximately 420  doctoral  studies 
completed  in  audiovisual  education 
between  19.S()-1956  and  an  addi- 
tional 93  studies  completed  in 
1956  through  September  of  1957.*' 

What  is  the  future  for  audiovis- 
ual? The  facts  show  that  audio- 
visual education  is  an  integral  part 
of  teacher  training.  The  utilization 
of  audiovisual  instruction  has 
spread  steadily  during  the  past 
quarter  of 'a  century  and  will  con- 
tinue until  the  concept  permeates 
education  at  all  levels. 

The  growing  interest  in  develop- 
ing more  effective  media  of  com- 
munication wifl  give  impetus  to 
the  movement,  .\nother  motivating 
force  will  stem  from  the  stigma  sur- 
rounding verbalism.  People  are  be- 
coming more  and  more  distrustful 
of  fancy  phrases.  They  want  plain 
talk  and  understandable  presenta- 
tions. The  establishnvent  of  serious 
graduate  study  iri  audiovisual 
techniques  at  the  university  level 
is  a  recognition  of  the  need  for  pro- 
fessionally trained  personnel  to 
help  in  the  task  of  making  learn- 
ing and  commimication  effective. 
If  the  schools  of  today  are  to  keep 
pace  in  practice  with  the  tech- 
niques of  communication  in  use  in 


the  larger  commimity  which  they 
serve,  studies  in  audiovisual  educa- 
tion are  a  must  for  tomorrow.**

AV  Coordination 
in  a  Large 
Urban  School 


by  Edward  J.  Kosell 


M 


.ANY  teachers  feel  there  is  too  much  diffi- 
culty involved  in  securing  and  setting  up  audio- 
visual equipment  for  a  fifteen  minute  educational 
broadcast  or  a  short  instructional  film;  in  conse- 
quence, many  children  are  deprived  of  the 
proven  benefits  of  these  effective  teaching  mate- 
rials. 

On  assuming  the  post  of  audiovisual  coordi- 
nator of  a  sixty  classroom  Chicago  public  ele- 
mentary school,  the  writer  decided  to  make  it 
just  a  little  easier  for  teachers  to  obtain  and  use 
the  school's  equipment. 

No  problem  was  presented  in  the  use  of  film- 
strip  equipment.  Several  years  ago  it  was  de- 
cided to  have  the  school  library  be  the  distribu- 
tion center  and  custodian  for  filmstrips  and  film- 
strip  projectors.  Each  teacher  is  given  a  listing 
of  the  several  hundred  filmstrips  comprising  the 
school  collection;  the  teacher  simply  makes  ar- 
rangements with  the  librarians  for  the  use  and 
return  of  this  equipment.  Incidentally,  it  was 
found  that  a  large  standard  3x5  card  file  cabinet 
can  very  easily  be  adapted  for  the  storage  of 
many  hundreds  of  filmstrips.  The  locking  facili- 
ties of  this  type  of  cabinet  and  its  large  size  suit 
it  ideally  for  safe  and  convenient  storage. 


On  the  other  hand  an  analysis  of  the  extent 
of  participation  in  the  reception  of  radio  broad- 
casts presented  by  the  school  system's  educational 
broadcasting  station  disclosed  only  a  faint,  sjxjr- 
adic  use  of  this  facility.  On  inquiry,  teachers 
very  frankly  stated  that  too  much  effort  was  in- 
volved in  making  weekly  arrangements  for  edu- 
cational broadcasts.  Citing  the  same  reason,  even 
more  resistance  was  found  to  the  use  of  instruc- 
tional films. 

By  showing  the  teachers  that  the  educational 
radio  schedule  was  set  up  so  that  particular  series 
were  programmed  on  a  full  year's  basis,  the 
writer  was  able  to  obtain  100  percent  teacher 
participation  in  the  use  of  radio  equipment  for 
the  semester. 

Semester  schedules  were  drawn  up.  A  copy 
of  the  schedules  was  given  each  teacher.  Also, 
each  of  the  school's  four  radios  had  attached  to 
it  a  routing  sheet  derived  from  the  schedule. 
In  consequence,  every  teacher  in  the  building 
can  very  easily  determine  the  location  of  any 
radio  at  any  time  during  the  day. 

It  was  found  that  scheduling  of  this  type  re- 
sulted in  a  number  of  advantages.  Radios  leave 
the  office  at  the  start  of  the  day  and  are  routed 
from  room  to  room  by  the  teachers  using  the 
attached  routing  schedules.  Intermediate  trips 
to  the  office  involving  equipment  handling  and 
the  resulting  greater  chance  for  damage  are 
eliminated.  Also,  office  personnel  are  saved  the 
trouble  involved  in  the  routing  of  equipment. 
The  last  teacher  using  the  radio  is  responsible 
for  its  return  to  the  office  for  overnight  safe- 
keeping. 

Since  the  radios  come  to  the  room  on  schedule 
and  almost  automatically,  it  is  quite  easy  for 
the  teachers  to  make  good  use  of  them. 

The  cooperation  of  the  school  engineer  was 
enlisted  in  adapting  several  heavy  radios  to 
"two-man"  portability.  This  was  done  by  attach- 
ing a  window  sash  handle  to  each  end  of  the 
radio.  As  a  result,  even  the  larger  second  grade 
boys  can  move  the  radio  from  one  room  to 
another. 

Classroom  use  of  sound  motion  picture  equip- 
ment for  short  and  purely  instructional  films 
also  has  its  drawbacks.  Perhaps  understandably, 
so  teachers  are  quite  reluctant  to  make  the  neces- 
sary arrangements  and  go  to  the  trouble  of  set- 
ting up  projection  equipment  for  the  usual 
twelve  to  fifteen  minute   film. 

It  is  here  that  the  coordinator  can  be  of 
invaluable  assistance;  here  that  a  little  effort 
on  his  part  reaps  great  benefits  for  teachers 
and  children.  All  that  is  required  is  some 
thoughtful  scheduling  and  the  providing  of 
that  vital  spark  of  enthusiasm. 

Films  are  received  weekly  from  the  schools' 
Division  of  Visual  Education  as  a  result  of  an 
order  compiled  from  teachers'  requests. 

To  ex|>edite  the  formation  of  the  schedule 
and  as  a  convenience  to  the  teachers,  pupil  mes- 
sengers go  to  the  teachers  whose  requested  films 
were  received.  These  teachers  then  indicate  on 
an  accompanying  blank  schedule  the  time  and 
day  on  which  they  want  their  films  shown,  sub- 
ject only  to  the  restriction  that  they  select  a 
day  on  which  the  projector  is  on  their  floor. 
Next,  the  messengers  visit  all  the  other  teach-

This  schedule  shows  how  teacher  selections  are  worked  out.  Films  are  designated  by  catalog  number, 
as  "X-F-13"  -  "X-A-9"  -  etc.  The  Roman  numbers  "1"  and  "11"  refer  to  the  two  projectors  being  used. 
"GF"  -  "IF"  -  "2F"  and  "3F"  refer  to  the  various  floors  of  the  building.  Teachers  may  select  any  con- 
venient period  for  showing  a  film  on  the  day  that  the  projector  is  "tagged"  for  their  floor. 


ers,  many  of  whom  had  requested  films  that 
were  unavailable  that  week.  These  teachers  are 
given  the  opportunity  to  book  any  film  that 
was  received,  provided  the  film  definitely  ap- 
plies to  their  program  of  studies. 

By  making  full  use  of  the  school's  two  pro- 
jectors, it  is  possible  to  provide  each  teacher 
with  his  choice  of  a  period  from  approximately 
ninety  half-hour  film  periods  each  week.  Thus, 
it  is  evident  that  a  more  successful  instructional 
film  program  can  function  with  only  a  mini- 
mum of  equipment. 

Employing  the  technique  of  attaching  its  in- 
dividual routing  schedule  to  each  projector  and 
to  each  film  container,  the  equipment  is  in  a 
position  to  move  from  room  to  room  through- 
out the  day  without  further  attention  from  the 
audiovisual  coordinator  or  office  personnel.  Pro- 
viding each  teacher  with  a  duplicated  copy  of 
the  master  film  schediUe,  enables  the  teacher 
to  determine  where  the  projectors  and  films 
are  at  all  times  during  the  day  and  the  week. 
This  is  an  invaluable  aid  in  tracing  equipment 
on  those  infrequent  occasions  when  something 
unforeseen  develops  to  upset  the  schedule. 

For  a  school  of  more  than  one  floor,  it  is  ad- 
visable to  set  up  the  schedule  so  that  the  pro- 
jector remains  on  one  certain  floor  for  at  least 
half  the  day.  In  this  way,  equipment  is  rolled 
quickly  and  smoothly  on  a  projection  cart  from 
one  room  to  another  on  a  floor  and  constant 
carrying  of  the  projector  from  one  floor  to  an- 
other is  greatly  lessened. 

The  method  of  setting  up  projector  routing 
and  film  routing  schedules  from  the  preceding 
"master"  schedule  can  easily  be  deduced. 

The  advantages  of  a  permanently  mounted 
projection  screen  in  each  classroom  over  those 
of  a  pupil-managed  portable  type  need  no  dis- 


It  is  of  course  highly  desirable  that  each 
teacher  become  proficient  in  the  operation  of 
audiovisual  equipment.  The  writer  has  found 
a  good  time  to  train  teachers  in  the  operation 
of  equipment  is  the  period  in  the  morning  be- 
fore the  pupils  enter  the  classroom  or  during  a 
lunch  hour.  No  more  than  two  teachers  can  be 
trained  properly  at  a  given  time. 

Incidentally,  the  writer  has  found  that  from 
the  standpoint  of  getting  the  program  off  to  a 
good  start  each  day  it  is  advantageous  to  or- 
ganize a  small  group  of  boys  whose  task  is  the 
delivering  of  radios,  motion  picture  projectors, 
and  films  to  the  first-listed  teachers  on  each 
day's  schedule.  As  previously  explained  all  move- 
ment of  equipment  thereafter  is  under  the  man- 
agement of  the  teachers.  As  with  the  radios  the 
last  teacher  using  the  films  and  projectors  each 
day  is  responsible  for  its  return  to  the  office 
for  safe-keeping. 

The  delivery  boys  are  only  too  glad  to  help 
and  are  proud  of  their  contribution  to  the 
smooth  running  of  a  successful  audiovisual  pro- 
gram. Too,  since  this  job  of  delivery  can  be  per- 
formed before  classes  start,  no  loss  of  instruc- 
tional time  need  be  suffered  by  the  boys. 

Naturally  a  certain  initial  effort  had  to  be 
put  forth  to  put  this  plan  in  operation.  How- 
ever, after  a  few  weeks  the  rough  spots  were 
ironed  out  and  a  very  satisfactory  program  has 
resulted.  Although  a  very  large  number  of  teach- 
ers and  2600  children  benefit  from  this  service, 
a  minimum  of  attention  is  required  from  the 
coordinator.  Indeed,  it  is  to  a  very  large  extent 
a  self-sustaining  operation. 

The  foregoing  is  an  account  of  an  audiovisual 
program  that  has  worked  out  very  well  in  a 
given  situation.  Some  aspects  of  this  program 
doubtless  can  be  used  with  profit  in  many  other 
situations.

FILM  EVALUATIONS 


by  L.  C.  Larson  and  Carolyn  Guss 


Beginning  Responsibility: 
Books  and  Their  Care 

(Coronet  Instructional  Films,  Coronet 
Building,  Chicago  1,  Illinois)  11  min- 
utes, 16mm,  sound,  color  or  black  and 
white,  1959.  $110  or  $60.  Teacher's 
guide  available. 

Description 

A  number  of  guiding  principles  for 
taking  proper  care  of  books  and  using 
them  correctly  are  presented  for  the 
young  neophyte  reader. 

It  is  Bobby's  birthday  and  his  grand- 
motlier  offers  to  buy  him  any  book  he 
chooses  in  the  large  bookshop.  Bobby 
is  amazed  at  seeing  the  many  books 
but  finally  selects  The  World  of  Pooh 
by  A.  A.  Milne  because  his  teacher 
reads  stories  from  this  very  same  book 
all  of  the  time.  He  can  hardly  wait 
to  get  home.  Grandmother  has  bought 
a  picture  book  for  Sue,  his  little  sister, 
and,  as  they  gather  in  the  living  room, 
the  excitement  runs  high  as  mother, 
father.  Sue,  and  Frisky  the  dog  wait 
to  see  what  they  brought  from  town. 

When  father  sees  the  title  he  re- 
members a  book  that  he  has  had  for 
over  thirty  years  and  he  gets  it  from 
the  bookshelf.  It  is  Winnie-the-Pooh 
and  is  still  in  excellent  condition.  He 
shows  Bobby  how  he  took  care  of  the 
book  to  have  had  it  so  long.  First, 
he  illustrates  how  to  open  a  book  so 
as  not  to  break  the  stiff  back  or  bind- 
ing. As  Bobby  imitates  his  father's 
actions,  little  Sue  also  learns  how  to 
open  her  book  correctly. 

Bobby  wants  to  read  his  book  but 
it  is  suppertime  and  he  must  find  a 
place  to  put  it  so  Sue  won't  tear  it 
accidentally  or  Frisky  won't  pull  it 
off  onto  the  floor.  He  can  hardly  wait 
to  finish  eating  his  dessert.  When  he 
does  finish,  however,  he  knows  that  he 
must  wash  his  hands  and  pick  up  all 
stray  crayons  and  pencils  so  that  his 
book  won't  get  smudged  or  have  crayon 
and  pencil  marks  on  it.  Sue  washes 
her  hands,  too,  and  helps  to  pick  up 
all  of  the  crayons.  They  are  very  care- 
ful when  turning  pages  and,  at  bed- 
time, Bobby  uses  a  piece  of  clean 
paper  as  a  marker.  This  doesn't  hurt 
the  book.  He,  also,  must  find  a  good 
place  to  keep  his  book.  The  bookshelf 
is  just  the  place  —  just  high  enough  so 
Sue  can't  get  it  and  the  book  can  stand 
upright  and  not  fall  to  the  floor. 

The  next  day,  Bobby  takes  his 
prized  book  to  school  to  share  with 
his  classmates.    Miss  Johnson   is  very 


interested  and  offers  to  show  it  to  the 
entire  class,  however  first,  she  shows 
them  another  book  which  was  left 
out  in  the  rain,  had  torn  pages,  and 
crayon  marks  all  over  the  pictures. 
The  narration  asks,  "Did  somebody's 
little  brother  or  sister  do  all  this  to 
what  was  once  a  new  and  clean  book? 
No.  Someone  who  was  in  this  room 
last  year  did  it.  The  way  some  boys 
and  girls  treat  books,  you'd  think  they 
were  little  children." 

While  getting  a  book  from  the  shelf 
in  the  reading  corner,  Judy  acciden- 
tally knocks  a  book  to  the  floor  and 
a  page  is  torn.  She  immediatelv  takes 
it  to  Miss  Johnson  who  understands 
that  accidents  do  happen  and  is 
pleased  that  Judy  brought  it  to  her 
at  once  so  that  she  could  repair  it 
before  the  tear  gets  worse. 

Bobby  is  happy  that  he  knows  how 
to  take  care  of  books,  because  they  are 
such  good  friends. 

Appraisal 

Beginning  Responsibility:  'Books  and 
Their  Care  fulfills  a  much  needed  role 
in  the  guidance  of  primary  school 
children.  In  addition,  by  example,  it 
illustrates  that  younger  children  in  a 
household  are  influenced  by  what  the 
others  in  the  family  do.  The  narration 
and  visuals  are  kept  at  a  level  which 
makes  it  easy  for  primary  children  and 
younger  to  understand  the  basic  proce- 
dures for  caring  for  books  and  other 
niceties  such  as  saying  "thank  you"  and 
reporting  accidents  promptly.  The  film 
does  not  attempt  to  funnel  informa- 
tion, but  successfully  demonstrates  by 
example  the  several  rules  for  book  care.

The  Face  of  Red  China 

(McGraw-Hill  Text-Films,  330  West 
42nd  Street,  New  York  36,  New  York) 
54  minutes,  16  mm,  sound,  black  and 
white,  1959.    $225. 

Description 

This  portentous  film  produced  for 
CBS-TV  shows  how  enthusiasm  and 
idealism,  as  well  as  regimentation,  are 
weapons  in  the  hands  of  the  Red 
leaders  who  exhort  and  coerce  China's 
millions  with  Mao  Tse-tung's  promise 
of  Utopia:  "Three  years  of  hard  labor 
for  one  thousand  years  of  happiness"; 
and,  what  Red  China  has  accomplished 
and  hopes,  to  accomplish  by  her  "Great 
Leap  Forward." 


However,  since  American  journalists 
and  news  cameramen  are  forbidden  to 
travel  in  Red  China,  this  discerning 
film  was  shot  by  Rolf  Wilhausen,  a 
West  German  news  photographer,  and 
the  text  was  narrated  on  the  scene  by 
the  Canadian  Gerald  Clark,  of  the 
Montreal  Star.  In  addition  there  is 
further  text  and  discussion  by  Clark 
and  Walter  Cronkite,  who  cogently 
discuss  the  implications  to  the  West  of 
this  thoroughly  aroused  dragon  of  Red 
China. 

Reel  one  devotes  itself  to  the  rural 
communes  first  set  up  in  April  of  1958. 
In  this  galvanic  uprooting  of  the  tra- 
ditional Chinese  family,  four-fifths  of 
China's  500  million  peasants  or  120 
million  peasant  families  are  packed 
into  some  26,000  communes.  This  mass 
military  impressment  of  peasant  fami- 
lies into  barracks  life  and  exhausting 
labor  on  collectivized  land  aptjarcnily 
far  outdoes  the  totalitarian  zeal  of  the 
Soviet  Union  in  intensity.  Here,  with 
bewildering  and  fanatical  zeal,  dams 
are  completed  in  80  days  —  the  tools 
for  the  most  part,  the  bare  hands 
and  straining  muscles  of  hundreds  of 
thousands  who  under  mesmeric  regi- 
mentation heed  the  slogan,  "Do  not 
wait  for  the  machines,  develop  small 
industries." 

For  example,  in  a  commune  signifi- 
cantly named  "Sputnik"  women  la- 
borers scour  the  countryside  for  iron 
ore  and  scrap  metal  which  they  process 
into  pig  iron  in  crude  homemade  blast 
furnaces.  Furthermore,  no  one  escapes 
this  gigantic  and  all  pervasive  socio 
political  movement.  All  students,  ofTict 
workers,  and  nurses  are  required  tf 
contribute  work  in  the  communes  aftei 
hours  and  on  vacations.  Moreover 
the  traditional  role  of  women  with  th( 
three  cares  no  longer  exists.  She  no« 
sends  her  children  to  state  communa 
nurseries  leaving  herself  free  for  me 
chanic  duty  in  tractor  service  stations 
tending  the  backyard  blast  furnaces 
building,  farming,  etc.  In  short,  hei 
primary  duty  is  now  to  the  "people' 
and  not  to  the  family  which  has  loni 
been  the  crux  of  Chinese  life. 

Work  in  the  fields  for  both  men  anc 
women  begins  at  dawn  and  lasts  unli 
sundown.  The  children  volunteer  fo 
work  once  a  week  while  the  universif 
students  volunteer  during  vacation 
The  latter  is  one  way  the  regini' 
combats  the  tendency  of  intellectual 
to  look  down  on  manual  labor.  .\n( 
manual  labor  it  is,  for  most  of  tin

luiiid  and  bark  methods  —  the  only 
respite  being  an  hour  of  military  drill- 
ing following  a  half-hoin-  lunch  break. 

Significantly,  the  entire  movement  is 
shot  through  with  unceasing  and  ubiq- 
uitous propaganda  for  the  state  and 
the  system.  C;hildren  parade  through 
village  streets  chanting  "Socialism  is 
best"  and  "  1  aiwan  must  be  liberated." 
Indeed,  public  demonstrations  as  a 
means  of  propagandizing  the  po|)ulace 
in  village  or  city  are  held  on  the 
slightest  provocation.  Many  of  them 
are  anti-Western  rallies  protesting 
United  States  and  the  West  policies. 
Today,  however,  more  refined  and  per- 
suasive methods  are  employed;  "We  do 
not  chop  off  heads  now.  We  reshape 
them."  Thus,  "painstaking  rea.soning" 
according  to  Mao  is  utilized  in  this 
constant  indoctrination,  which  down- 
grades intellectuals  and  professors. 

Reel  two  limns  the  impact  of  the 
new  China  on  that  of  the  old.  Here, 
I'eiping.  the  Imperial  and  Forbidden 
City  of  the  decadent  Manchu  emper- 
ors, has  become  the  capital  of  Red 
China.  Here,  the  summer  palace  of  the 
Manchus  is  now  "The  People's  Park 
and  Cultural  Center."  Here,  T'ien 
An  Men  Square  is  Peiping's  equivalent 
of  Red  Square  in  Moscow.   Here,  also. 


the  Chinese  avow  they  will  build  a 
new  capital  by  the  tenth  anniversary 
of  the  People's  Republic. 

Instead  of  downgrading  all  of 
China's  past,  a  concerted  and  vigorous 
effort  is  now  being  made  to  inculcate 
national  pride  in  China's  old  and  rich 
culture.  After  all,  gunpowder,  paper, 
and  movable  type  were  contributions 
of  the  old  China  and  should  he  rightly 
acknowledged.  Apropos  of  China's  lag 
with  the  West  they  say,  "We  may  be 
behind  you  now  but  it  wasn't  always 
so"  —  the  implication  being  we  will 
soon  catch  up  and  surpass  you. 

Shanghai  is  again  open  to  trade. 
However,  now  one  finds  along  the 
famous  waterfront  Bund  only  5,000 
foreigners  as  compared  to  the  over 
30,000  of  pre-revolutionary  days.  There 
are  still  widespread  slums  but  less  lit- 
ter and  odor  due  to  the  constant 
emphasis  on  sanitation  and  the  call  to 
clean  up  such  perennial  scourges  as 
rats  and  flies.  Older  people  are  given 
jobs  of  checking  on  the  cleanliness  of 
streets  and  houses. 

A  most  important  educational  re- 
form of  Red  China  is  the  abolition 
of  the  intricately  complex  and  symbolic 
alphabet  and  the  substitution  of  a 
romanized  one.    Thus,  all  the  oncom- 


ing generations  will  be  trained  in  this 
new  and  simplified  language  system, 
all  of  which  will  undoubtedly  raise 
China's  literacy  rate. 

.Apropos  of  the  industrial  change  and 
economic  offensive,  the  "Great  Leap 
Forward"  has  been  due  to  the  limitless 
human  energy  of  China's  millions.  The 
statement  of  Marx,  "Twenty  years  are 
concentrated  within  one  day,"  is  not 
an  exaggeration,  for  here  one  finds 
literally  thousands  of  backyard  blast 
furnaces  which  represent  the  new  in- 
dustrial China.  Here,  too,  a  cyclotron 
where  ten  years  ago  nothing  existed. 
Why  are  whole  armies  of  people  con- 
tent to  be  moved  from  place  to  place 
in  this  prodigious  and  unrelenting 
drive  to  industrialize?  Perhaps  it  is  a 
sense  of  patriotism  and  achievement. 

Perhaps  the  epitome  of  Red  China's 
industrialization  is  found  in  the  great 
Anshan  steel  mill  in  Manchuria  which 
turns  out  high  grade  steel,  so  vital  a 
factor  in  the  export  offensive  of  cheap 
goods  for  southeast  Asia.  China  seems 
to  say,  "Anything  the  West  can  do,  we 
can  do  better."  Here  the  nationalism, 
chauvinism,  and  xenofihobia  of  the 
new  China  reside.  '         '

now  looks  on  with  awe  and  apprehen- 
sion and  no  longer  sends  as  manv 
technicians  as  formerly. 

The  final  sequence  of  the  film  deals 
with  two  long-standinf;  issues,  namely: 
the  Formosa  (|uestion  and  Red  China's 
admission  to  the  United  Nations.  In 
answer  to  both  of  these,  China  states 
that  "Time  is  on  our  side,"  and  that 
ultimately  the  United  States  will  with- 
draw from  Formosa  and  Red  China 
will  enter  into  the  United  Nations. 
Moreover,  there  will  come  a  day  after 
the  death  of  Chiang  Kai-shek  when 
Red  and  Nationalist  China  will  be 
reunited.  Thus  for  the  present  the 
communist  revolution  in  China  seems 
to  be  giving  China  the  food  and 
security  she  currently  needs. 

Appraisal 

This  film,  which  admittedly  does  not 
include  all  facets  of  the  emergence  of 
the  new  and  industrialized  C^hina,  does 
make  a  valuable  contribution  toward 
our  understanding  and,  most  impor- 
tant, our  not  underestimating  the 
Chinese  dilemma.  Indeed,  by  its  per- 
ceptive filming  and  cogent  text  it 
presents,  perhaps,  the  best  up-to-date 
overview  of  what  Red  China  is  about.

Description 

The  film  opens  by  showing  that 
animals  are  struggling  constantly  to 
survive  in  the  midst  of  such  hazards 
as  fire,  flood,  heat,  cold,  disease,  changes 
in  the  climate,  and  other  animals  that 
prey  upon  them.  Some  species  do  not 
survive,  such  as  dinosaurs  and  pa,ssen- 
ger  pigeons,  while  others  withstand  the 
climate,  escape  their  enemies,  and  sur- 
vive over  long  periods  of  history. 

Several  examples  illustrate  how  na- 
ture helps  animals  survive  by  protect- 
ing them  in  various  ways.  The  dis- 
tasteful moth  is  spit  out  by  its  frog 
captor;  die  keen  senses  of  the  deer 
help  it  to  escape  its  enemies:  the  fertil- 
ity of  insects  helps  sotne  of  them  to 
survive  and  continue  the  species;  the 
buffalo,  osprey,  scorpion,  and  other 
animals  protect  and  care  for  their 
yoinig  until  they  can  put  up  a  good 
fight  for  survival  on  their  own. 

The  defensive  adaptations  of  animals 
are  shown  as  belonging  to  three  classi- 
fications—hiding, fleeing,  and  discour- 
aging attack.  The  first  type  is  exempli- 
fied by  a  frog  hiding  under  a  log;  a 
crab  burying  itself  in  the  ocean  sand; 
prairie  dogs  fleeing  to  their  under- 
ground homes,  while  the  protective 
coloration  of  butterflies,  toads,  praying 
mantis,  rattlesnakes,  and  other  ani- 
mals hide  them  from  their  enemies. 

The  second  type  of  defensive  adapta- 
tion of  animals  —  fleeing  —  is  illus- 
trated by  showing  various  types  of  loco- 
motion used  by  animals:  the  antelope 
flees  by  running,  the  kangaroo  hops, 
the  seal  swims,  the  snake  crawls,  the 
opossum  climbs,  the  egret  flies.  The 
film  also  shows  an  owl  and  wood- 
peckers sheltering  themselves  in  holes 
in  trees. 

The  film  continues  by  picturing  a 
porcupine  discouraging  attack  bv  using 
its  sharp  quills  and  shows  that  a  bee 
achieves  tlie  same  result  with  its 
stinger.  The  Viceroy  butterflv  mimics 
the  Monarch  and  escapes  being  eaten 


by  birds;  the  remora  fish  attaches  itself 
to  the  bottom  of  a  shark  thus  olitaining 
protection  and  jjortions  of  the  shark's 
food.  It  shows  a  skunk  discouraging 
the  attack  of  a  fox  by  use  of  its  etfeclive 
defense  weapon,  then  pictures  the  well 
camouflaged  sphinx  moth  larva  which 
displays  a  special  eye-like  marking 
when  disturbed.  Next,  it  shows  an 
annadillo  with  its  protective,  tough, 
horny  plates  and  the  harmless  hognose 
snake  acting  as  if  it  could  inllirt  great 
harm.  The  protection  of  the  diamond- 
back  rattlesnake  is  oljvious  as  the  film 
pictures  it  striking. 

.As  the  film  concludes  with  a  review 
montage,  the  narrator  tells  that 
through  the  defensive  adaptations  just 
shown  and  many  others  nature  has 
kept  alive  an  endless  variety  of  animal 
species  through  countless  ages  of  the 
historv  of  the  earth. 


:inP 


A]>praisal 

This  interesting  film  clearlv  prese 
a  variety  of  examples  which  illustrate 
important  biological  |jrincip!es  con- 
cerned with  animal  adaptation  for 
survival.  The  visuals  should  conmiand 
the  attention  of  a  wide  audience  range 
from  primary  grades  through  adults 
but  the  film  will  probably  have  its 
greatest  use  on  the  intermediate  and 
Junior  high  levels  in  general  science 
and  biology.  It  will  also  be  useful  to 
the  teacher  of  senior  high  biology  when 
uncovering  units  concerned  with  ani- 
mal survival.  Although  not  directly 
concerned  with  extinct  species,  the 
film  should  stimulate  some  thinking 
concerning  these  and  the  species  that 
are  nearly  extinct,  such  as,  the  ivory 
billed  woodpecker  and  the  whooping 
crane.  It  will  also  be  useful  in  dis 
cussions  concerned  with  existing  jirinii 
tive  forms  of  life,  such  as,  the  lungfish 
and  sowbug,  but  its  greatest  use  will 
be  to  show  some  of  the  adaptations 
which  make  it  possible  for  animals  to 
survive  their  many  natural  hazards. 
Since  a  wide  variety  of  specific  exam 
pies  is  shown,  some  teachers  may  wish 
to  use  the  film  to  help  develop  in  their 
students  the  ability  to  reason  indue 
tively.

/aries  from   1,000  to  5,000  times. 

Rhythmic  Motion, s  in  Croiving 
Plants  opens  by  showing  the  sprouting 
)f  barley  seeds  and  the  waving  of  the 
growing  ])lant  from  side  to  side,  which 
notion,  the  narrator  explains,  is  called 
:ircumnutation  or  nodding  in  a  circle. 
\nimated  diagrams  of  the  movements 
)f  a  growing  nasturtium  show  that 
iliese  circular  movement^)  form  a  spi- 
ral that  increases  in  diameter  as  the 
plant  grows  upward.  The  film  con- 
inues  by  picturing  the  movement  of 
growing  ash  tree  leaves  and  uses  the 
liepatica  to  sliow  that  both  llowers  and 
leaves  circumnutate.  The  undulating 
motion  of  roots  is  shown  as  they  grow 
rom  a  willow  twig. 

Ttie  next  seijueiue  shows  the  reac- 
ion  of  plants  to  liglit.  It  pictures  the 
:Iosing  of  clover  leallets  at  sunset  and 
their  s|)reading  again  in  the  morning. 
The  leaves  of  the  lupine  react  in  a 
imilar  way. 

The  film  shows  the  effect  of  gravity 
m  a  potted  bean  ]>laiu  that  is  plated 
n  a  hori/oiual  position.  The  plant 
:urves  until  the  tip  of  the  stem  is 
jrowing  in  a  direction  opposite  from 


the  earth's  gravitational  pull.  The 
effect  of  gravity  on  the  roots  is  oppo- 
site to  that  on  the  growing  stem.  The 
plant  is  placed  at  various  angles  and 
each  time  tlie  roots  bend  and  grow  in 
the  direction  of  the  pull  of  gravity. 

Movements  of  climbing  plants  are 
next  shown.  The  morning  glory  has 
a  clock-wise,  circular  motion  as  it 
searches  for  a  vertical  support.  It  is 
shown  circumnutating  around  a  sus- 
pended siring,  exerting  enough  force 
to  move  the  string  and  finally  wrap- 
ping its  tip  arouixl  the  string  and 
using  it  for  support. 

The  scenes  that  follow  sliow  the 
tendrils  of  the  wild  cucumber  as  they 
lash  out  like  whips  in  all  directions; 
the  plant  itself  moves  very  little.  The 
tendril  finds  a  support,  twists,  acting 
like  a  turntable,  and  draws  the  plant 
over  to  the  support. 

The  film  concludes  by  suggesting  to 
the  viewer  similar  olxservations,  ex- 
plorations, and  experiments  whicfi  he 
can  perform  in  this  interesting  field 
of  plant  growth. 

Appraisal 

This  fascinating  film  can  be  u,sed  in 
a  variety  of  ways  with  audiences  that 
range  from  elementary  grades  through 
college.    Also,    it   will    open    new    ave- 


nues of  exploration  for  the  week-end 
botanist.  The  use  of  time-lapse  photog- 
raphy results  in  a  dynamic  presenta- 
tion that  is  possible  only  through  the 
film  medimn.  This  film  will  assist  in 
stimulating  the  viewer  to  further  study 
and  experimentation  concerning  plant 
behavior  including  their  tropistic  re- 
actions to  water,  light,  gravity,  contact, 
and  chemicals.  It  may  also  be  used  to 
show  that  plants,  as  well  as  animals, 
move  and  respond  to  stimuli,  two  of 
the  characteristics  of  all  living  things. 
The  visuals  clearly  show  the  various 
motions  of  plants;  consequently,  some 
teachers  may  choose  to  use  the  film 
without  narration  to  assist  in  develop- 
ing skills  in  concept  formation.  After 
studying  the  visuals,  the  viewers  could 
form  hypotheses  concerning  the  be- 
havior of  plants,  to  be  further  tested 
by  the  conducting  of  controlled  experi- 
ments. More  advanced  grou[w  may 
wish  to  study  the  plant  motions  more 
critically  at  slower  projection  speeds.

we  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
producer  includes  a  final  frame  calling 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  teacher 
might  reshow  the  strip  after  an  interval 
of  three  to  five  days.  This  is  a  very 
good  thing  to  emphasize— if  by  "re- 
show"  we  understand  that  "reshow— 
use"  is  included.  It  would  almost  seem 
that  the  time  had  arrived  when  it  was 
unnecessary  to  repeat  this,  but  appar- 
ently we  have  not  reached  the  milleni- 
um  yet.  You  do  not  always  get  im- 
mediate returns  from  one  projection- 
use  of  a  lilmstrip;  indeed  the  whole 
value  of  filmstrips  to  me,  lies  in  the 
fact  that  you  can  so  easily  go  over  and 
over  the  material  to  meet  the  needs  of 
pupils  of  all  types.  Of  course  there  are 
many  times  such  repetition  is  unneces- 
sary, and  would  only  result  in  a  wave 
of  boredom  and  sluggishness  in  pupil 
interest.  But  the  heart  and  soul  of  film- 
strip  utilization  technique  is  this  mat- 
ter of  potential  re-use  and  controllable- 
speed  use.  So  often  it  has  been  said 
that  repetition  of  a  phrase  or  sentence 
is  a  means  of  achieving  emphasis.  Well 
if  it  is  true  in  one  instance,  it  is  just 
as  true  in  another.  Please,  do  not  look 
upon  filmstrips  as  "one-time  projec- 
tion" materials;  do  recognize  them  for 
what  they  are  —  continued  and  contin- 
uing use  materials  that  can  be  called 
upon  time  and  time  again. 

Artists  of  Holland 

(2  strips,  color:  produced  by  Ency- 
clopaedia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil- 
mette  \ve..  Wilmette,  111.;  $12  per  set, 
.S6  each.)  Vincent  Van  Gogh  and  Rem- 
brandt Harmenz.  van  Rijn  are  the  ar- 
tists in  question,  and  our  visual  visit 
with  each  provides  us  with  examples 
of  their  best  known  paintings.  As  such, 
of  course,  the  filmstrips  are  valuable 
because  they  enable  teacher  and  pu- 
pils to  see  these  masterpieces  under 
classroom  study  conditions,  and  allow 
time  for  leisurely  examination  and 
study  of  details.  Perhaps  our  own 
years  of  museum  work  make  us  par- 
tial to  such  materials.  If  you  have  ever 
watched  groups  of  students  visiting 
museum  exhibits,  you  know  that  fre- 
quently so  much  is  seen  on  these  visits 
that  the  full  impact  or  value  of  the 
collections  is  not  fully  realized.  Film- 
strips  such  as  the  ones  here  reviewed 
provide  a  basis  for  follow-up  of  mu- 
seum trips,  and,  in  this  case  bring  into 
the  classroom  many  items  which  are 
not    included    in    our    own    mu.seums. 


These  are  the  equivalent  of  a  tour  of! 
many  museums  in  many  parts  of  the 
world  and  the  student  of  art  will  find 
much  that  is  interesting  in  the  details 
and  examples  of  the  work  of  both 
artists.

Adventures  in 
Communicating  

(4  strips,  color;  produced  by  Film- 
strip  House,  347  Madison  Ave.,  New 
York  17,  N.Y.:  .120  per  set.).  So  many 
phases  of  modern  life  are  dependent 
upon  proper  and  adequate  communi- 
cation between  people  that  it  is  ex- 
tremely important  to  understand  the 
basic  rules  of  sentence  structure.  The 
four  strips  of  this  series  go  into  a  rath- 
er thorough  explanation  of  what  con- 
stitutes a  sentence,  how  to  lend  variety 
to  your  sentences  and  how  to  observe 
the  amenities  of  grammatical  do's  and 
don't's.  At  the  end  of  each  strip  the 
producer  suggests  that  the  teacher  re- 
show the  strip  after  an  interval  of 
three  to  five  clays.  Certainly  this  is  a 
must  with  material  of  this  type,  for  it  is 
produced  to  serve  as  help  in  an  evolv- 
ing process.  Correct  u.se  of  language 
forms  is  a  skill  gained  over  a  series  of 
lessons  and  these  strips  should  be  used 
not  once,  but  many  times. 

Canada  and  Pacific  Coasti

riculum  Materials  Corporation,  1219 
Vine  St.,  Philadelphia  7,  Pa.;  53.9.5 
each  lesson,  rental  $1  each.)  Like  our 
own  country,  Canada  includes  a  vast 
area,  with  many  regional  resources  and 
scenic  spots.  Emphasis  in  this  set  is 
on  such  items  as  aluminum,  oil,  furs, 
forests,  grain  farming  and  fishing  in 
the  western  provinces  and  Pacific  coast 
area.  We  are  also  shown  some  of  the 
famous  vacation  spots  that  drew  vis- 
itors to  Canada.  The  material  is 
adapted  to  imits  in  regional  geography 
and  for  general  social  studies.  .Al- 
though Canada  and  the  United  States 
share  many  things  in  common,  still 
there  are  special  features  of  Canadian 
life  and  economic  development  which 
make  it  essential  to  understand  the 
people  of  this  northern  neighbor,  and 
this  series  will  help  to  achieve  this.

mar  Co.,  12  Cleveland  St.,  Valhalla, 
N.Y.;  $11.00  with  record.)  The  story 
of  Cinderella  is  a  long  time  favorite, 
but  it  comes  to  us  this  time  with  cap- 
tions in  French  and  a  recording  in 
French  dialogue  The  art  work,  of  the 
filnistrii)  is  delicate  and  appealing  and 
provides  a  truly  fairylike  quality.  Ihe 
dialogue  naturallv  provides  an  oppor- 
tunity for  gaining  facility  in  the  use 
of  a  foreign  (or  should  we  say  "new" 
language).  If  language  study  is  to  have 
meaning  and  value,  then  we  personally 
(hink  material  of  this  type  is  to  be 
highly  recommended.  There  is  more 
to  language  than  grammatical  struc- 
ture and  parts  of  speech.  We  need  to 
hear  a  language  spoken;  to  hear  it  in 
the  context  of  a  story  or  conversation; 
we  need  to  hear  the  shadings  and  nu- 
ances of  its  tonal  qualities  and  rhythm. 
Certainly  this  is  an  excellent  filmstrip 
for  such  purposes;  it  provides  both  the 
literary  story  and  the  record  for  lan- 
guage study,  and  can  be  recommended 
both  for  literature  classes  and  for 
French  study  classes. 

How  We  Get  Our 
Clothing 

(1  strips,  color;  produced  by  Society 
for  Visual  Education,  1345  Diversey 
Parkway,  Chicago  14,  111.:  $16.25  per 
set,  S5  single  strips.)  Without  cotton, 
wool,  leather  and  rubber  we  would 
have  a  serious  problem  in  providing 
clothing  to  protect  us  and  to  service 
all  our  needs.  In  this  instance  we  see 
exactly  how  the  basic  materials  are 
secured,  what  animals  or  forms  of 
plant  life  supply  the  base  stock,  and 
how  the  material  is  processed,  from  a 
bolt  of  cloth  or  a  piece  of  rubber  to 
the  yard  goods  and  boots  which  we 
select.  Emphasis  is  placed  on  the  im- 
portant part  played  by  machines  in 
processing  these  products.  The  strips 
are  said  by  the  producers  to  be  for 
social  studies  in  grades  3  and  4.  We 
think  there  is  considerable  information 
that  will  be  both  interesting  and  prof- 
itable for  use  in  higher  grades  in 
home  economics  units  dealing  with 
clothing  and  for  consumer  education. 

Trucks  Work  For  Us 

(single  strip,  black  and  white;  pro- 
duced by  and  available  without  cost 
from  Automobile  .Vf  anulacturers  Assoc, 
320  New  Center  Building,  Detroit  2, 
Michigan.)  If  you  stop  to  think  about 
it.  it  is  hard  to  imagine  what  life  to- 
day would  be  without  trucks.  Trucks 
bring  us  food,  clothing,  manufactured 
goods,  building  materials  with  which 
to  construct  our  homes.  In  fact,  as  our 
picture  story  tells  us,  "practically  every- 
thing we  eat,  wear  or  use  is  carried  at 
least  part  of  its  journey  (from  source 


to  consumer)  by  trucks."  There  is  con- 
siderable helpful  information  in  this 
strip  for  use  with  any  unit  dealing  with 
transportation. 

True  Book  Filmstrips 
of  Natural  Science 
and  Physical  Science 

(two  series  of  six  filmstrips  each, 
color;  produced  by  Children's  Press, 
Inc.,  Jackson  Blvd.  and  Racine  Ave., 
Chicago  7,  111.;  $28.50  per  set  of  6 
strips;  $4.75  single  strips;  $9  per  set 
for  unit  of  6  correlated  books.)  This 
is  a  project  designed  to  correlate 
textual  or  book  material  with  film- 
strips.  The  material  is  planned  with 
second  grade  reading  level  vocabulary 
in  mind  and  is  for  the  primary  and 
early  grade  science  work.  The  natural 
science  series  includes  stories  about 
animal  babies,  birds,  insects,  plants 
and  trees.  The  physical  science  series 
includes  ".Air  .\round  Us,"  "Deserts," 
"Moon,  Sun  and  Stars,"  "Oceans," 
"Rocks  and  Minerals,"  "Seasons."  The 
filmstrips  can  be  used  independently 
of  the  books,  but  the  units  are  well 
coordinated.  The  facts  included  are 
simple  and  there  are  suggestions  for 
simple   projects  and  experiments. 


Opera  and  Ballet  Stories 

(6  strips,  color;  produced  by  Jam 
Handy  Organization,  2821  E.  Grand 
Blvd.,  Detroit,  Michigan;  $28.50  for 
set  of  6  strips,  $4.95  single  strips;  $21 
for  set  of  6  records,  $3.95  for  single 
records.)  One  has  only  to  examine  the 
reviews  in  current  newspaper  columns 
to  realize  the  extent  to  which  opera 
and  ballet  have  increased  in  popular 
appeal  for  all  age  groups.  As  art  forms, 
both  mean  more  to  us  when  we  under- 
stand both  story  and  music.  This  se- 
ries gives  us  Lohengrin,  The  Magic 
Flute,  Aida,  The  Barber  of  Seville, 
The  Mastersingers,  and  Coppelia.  The 
accompanying  records  provide  narra- 
tion and  thematic  music  on  one  side, 
and  complete  musical  score  on  the 
other  side.  Of  course,  the  filmstrips 
can  be  used  with  any  desired  record- 
ing, but  the  set  as  constituted  has  much 
to  oflfer.  Without  wishing  to  minimize 
in  any  way  the  value  of  this  material 
for  school  and  educational  groups,  we 
have  always  wondered  why  more  peo- 
ple didn't  have  projectors  and  record 
players  at  home.  Personally  we  think 
there  is  enjoyment  as  well  as  educa- 
tion in  this  filmstrip-record  series;  the 
visual  adds  to  the  musical  enjoyment.

AUDIO 


by  Max  V.  Bildersee 


As  you  read  ihcse  words,  do  you 
hear  them,  too? 

Children  reach  school  age  definitely 
audio-oriented  to  information  trans- 
mission. Audio  is  their  means  of  com- 
munication and  their  understanding  of 
sound  is  vital  to  their  success  in  school 
—  from  the  date  of  arrival. 

Through  the  first  few  years  of  school- 
ing we  as  teachers  take  full  advantage 
of  the  audio  training  given  to  the 
child  at  home  —  and  through  the  skills 
acquired  from  the  first  day  of  life  we 
build  new  skills  —  the  skills  of  seeing 
...  of  interpreting  ...  of  understand- 
ing .  .  .  and  even  of  reading. 

The  child  reads  sound.  The  child 
hears  the  words  read  to  himself  and 
understands.  One  of  the  first  skills 
taught  in  school  is  that  of  hearing  — 
hearing  through  the  eyes! 

With  the  progress  of  the  years  in 
school  audio  skills  need  (it  seems  to 
some)  no  further  training  and 
are  overlooked.  The  eye  has  become 
all  important.  By  the  time  the  child 
has  reached  the  fourth  grade  much 
information  is  transmitted  through  the 
eye  and  reading  skills  are  stressed.  But 
tlie  child,  in  his  reading  and  in  his 
writing,  continues  to  "hear"  the  sounds 
he  sees  or  creates  on  paper,  and  his 
audio  training  continues. 

The  eye  continues  in  dominance 
through  the  elementary  school  as  it  is 
presently  constituted  —  and  in  the  jun- 
ior high  school  ear  training  becomes 
important  again  until,  by  the  time 
the  twelve  year  educational  experience 
is  completed,  both  eye   and   ear   have 


been  trained  as  receptor  senses  — and 
have  been  given  "equal  time"  and 
"equal  billing." 

The  only  remaining  fallacy  to  be 
conquered,  then,  is  the  constantly  en- 
larging area  for  audio  communications 
in  adult  life.  .And,  as  many  "hear" 
this  tliroiigh  their  eyes  by  translating 
the  words  and  syllables  from  sight  to 
sound  for  comprehension  they  are 
proving  only  that  through  the  school 
years  the  eye  and  the  ear  must  be 
trained  to  work  together  to  help  the 
individual  achieve  understanding  —  or 
education   fails. 

.Major  modern  communications  me- 
dia, when  they  are  effectively  em- 
ployed, rely  on  both  aural  and  visual 
comprehension.  The  sound  motion 
picture  (when  was  the  last  time  you 
saw  a  silent  film?),  the  television  pro- 
gramming and  indeed  our  daily  sur- 
roundings are  not  audio  —  not  visual  — 
they  are  audiovisual. 

As  hearing  through  the  eye  has  be- 
come common  — so  has  reading  through 
the  ear.  That  sound  we  heard  is  in- 
terpreted into  a  visual  image  —  the 
coin  falling,  the  key  in  the  lock,  the 
auto  passing  down  the  street,  the  air- 
plane passing  through  the  sound  bar- 
rier. We  hear  the  sounds  —  we  see  the 
sight. 

And  we  listen  to  recordings.  To 
music  we  add  the  atmosphere  of  the 
concert  hall  —  or  the  campfire,  which- 
ever is  appropriate.  To  speech  we  add 
the  complement  of  the  political  rally 
with  all  its  visual  confusion,  we  add 
the   solemnity   of   the    formal    reading

before  an  audience,  we  add  the  thrill 
of  the  iheairc.  Thus  do  we  see  through 
our  ears. 

But  only  through  the  eyes  and  ears 
in  concert  do  we  as  teachers  instruct  — 
do  our  students  learn.  And  our  re- 
sponsibility as  teachers  is  to  encourage 
audiovisual  comprehension  —  not  au- 
dio, not  visual  —  but  total  audiovisual 
understanding. 

Harcourt,  Brace  is  expanding  its 
publicatioti  services  to  include  the  pub- 
lication of  essentially  audio  materials. 
This  is  progress  toward  the  ideal  of  dis- 
tribution of  the  word  of  men  not  only 
in  cold  print,  but  also  in  their  own 
inflections.  Particularly  we  refer  to 
an  exceptional,  unusual,  and  highly 
worthwhile  record,  "THE  SCMEX- 
riSlS  SPEAK:  BIOLOGY,"  recently 
annoiuiced. 

George  Ciaylord  .Simpson,  Professor 
at  C;olumbia  University,  discusses 
"What  Biology  Is  and  What  It  Means 
to  Me."  The  Research  Professor  of 
the  Photosynthesis  Project  in  the  De- 
partment of  Botany  at  the  University 
oi  Illinois,  Dr.  Eugene  Rabinowitcli. 
discuss-js  "Photosynthesis  and  You." 
When  he  says  to  his  audience,  as  he 
opens  this  discussion,  "Fundamentally, 
you  and  I,  and  all  other  men,  as  well 
as  all  animals,  are  parasites,"  we  are 
immediately  struck  with  man's  role  in 
the  total  environment  which  he  has 
adapted  to  his  needs.  Dr.  Rabino 
witch's  informative  discussion  of  phi 
tosynthesis  can  be  profitably  heard  bv 
all  biology  students  from  the  junii 
high  school  through  college.  And  he 
issues  the  challenge  to  all  his  listeners 
when  he  concludes  by  saying,  ".As  yet, 
we  do  not  know  how  to  convert  light 
into  chemical  energy,  or  how  to  build 
up  organic  matter  from  inorganic  raw- 
materials,  something  plants  do  all 
around  us  all  day  long.  What  a  shame- 
ful ignorance,  and  what  a  challenge!!" 

Dr.  Rene  |.  Dubos.  who  is  now  en- 
gaged in  one  of  the  most  forward-look- 
ing phases  of  medical  research,  is  per- 
haps best  known  for  his  research  lead- 
ing to  the  isolation  of  several  antibi- 
otics. His  contribution  to  the  record- 
ing, appropriately,  deals  with  "The 
Infinitely  Small:  Microorganisms  in 
Human  Life  and  in  Science."  Dr. 
Dubos  discusses  his  own  experiences 
in  research,  credits  Louis  Pasteur  with 
reporting  to  and  startling  the  scien- 
tific world  with  a  biological  explana- 
tion for  old  chemical  processes  such 
as  the  fermentation  of  grape  juice,  the 
souring  of  milk  and  the  ])roduction  of 
vinegar.  .-\nd  Dr.  Dubos  repeats  re- 
asserts what  Pasteur  was  fond  of  say- 
ing, that  "the  role  of  the  infinitely 
small  is  infinitely  great."

I'Ir-  1946  winner  of  the  Nobel  I'rize 
in  Medicine,  Dr.  Herman  J.  Muller, 
fliscusses  "Genes  —  the  Core  of  Our 
Being."  Dr.  Muller  refers  to  knowl- 
edge —  particularly  the  knowledge  of 
our  inner  being  and  its  manner  of  re- 
production —  as  "powerful,"  saying  that 
it  "can  be  used  for  great  good  —  or 
great   harm." 

Julian  Huxley  begins  his  discussion 
of  "Living  Things"  by  saying,  "Even 
as  a  small  boy  I  was  fascinated  by  the 
strangeness  and  variety  of  living  things 
—  animals  and  plants.  And  ever  since 
I  began  studying  biology,  I  have 
wanted  to  find  out  more  about  why 
living  things  are  as  they  are  —  why 
they  are  so  varied  and  so  strange." 
Dr.  Huxley  discusses  evolution  and 
refers  to  Man  as  the  latest  dominant 
type  because  "of  his  bigger  brain,  his 
intelligence  and  his  imagination. 
I'hese  new  mental  powers  made  it 
possible  for  him  to  do  what  no  animal 
is  capable  of  —  to  discover  more  and 
more  knowledge  about  the  world  and 
about  himself,  and  to  accumulate 
knowledge  and  ideas  by  handing  on 
the  results  of  experience  from  one  gen- 
eration to  the  next." 

"Thus,"  says  Dr.  Huxley,  "man  can 
plan  ahead  in  a  purposeful  way."  He 
adds  that,  "Barring  accidents,  we  men 
have  many  millions  of  years  ahead  of 
us."

New  literature  in  the  field  of  audio- 
visual education  is  always  eagerly 
awaited  and  the  second  edition  of 
[ames  .S.  Kinder's  AUDIOVISUAL 
.MATERIALS  AND  TECHNIQUES* 
is  no  exception.  The  second  edition  is 
considerably  expanded  over  the  first  — 
and  brings  valuable  information  to 
students  and  audiovisual  practitioners 
alike. 

Particularly,  we  found  the  variety  of 
information  in  the  chapter  "Educa- 
tional Recordings"  to  be  broadly  con- 
ceived, well  researched  and  authori- 
tatively presented.  In  this  chapter  Mr. 
Kinder  traces  first  the  history  of  the 
plionograph  from  Edison's  historic 
"Mary  Had  .\  Little  Lamb"  to  the 
present  multi-speakered  stereophonic 
machines.  Dr.  Kinder  discusses  the 
problems  of  the  values  to  be  at- 
tained by  teaching  with  records  and 
transcriptions.  He  discusses  not  only 
the  types  of  recordings  available,  but 
also  technicjues  of  utilization  and  cor- 
relation of  recorded  material  with 
other  materials. 


Dr.  Kinder  summarizes  the  problems 
of  selecting  equipment,  caring  for  it 
and  for  records  and  lists  sources  of  re- 
corded materials.  Dr.  Kinder  delves 
into  the  unique  qualities  of  tape  re- 
cordings, mentions  some  of  the  ma- 
chines on  the  market,  discusses  editing 
and  splicing  and  lists  a  variety  of  edu- 
cational uses  for  magnetic  recording 
devices. 

The  progress  of  the  audio  field  is  so 
rapid  that  the  manuscript  for  this 
book,  completed  months  ago,  cannot 
adequately  treat  the  developing  area 
of  stereoplionic  .sound  .  .  .  indeed  there 
is  great  need  for  research  into  the  con- 
tributions of  this  new  development  in 


education  as  well  as  into  the  ultimate 
contributions  of  language  or  listening 
laboratories  to  the  total  educational 
scene.

AV  IN  THE  CHURCH  FIELD 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Editorial  Notes 

The  other  day,  the  same  old  bogey: 
"We  used  that  film  once  in  our 
church.  Is  there  something  new?" 
Yes,  of  course  there  are  new  films. 
However,  any  film  good  enough  to  be 
used  once  with  one  group  is  plenty 
good  enough  to  be  used  with  another 
group— unless  every  one  in  your  church 
saw  it  the  first  time.  That's  not  very 
likely! 

The  'missionary'  study  themes  for 
I959-'60  are:  "Africa"  and  "The 
Church  in  Town  and  Country."  Early 
in  the  fall  churches  will  be  asking  for 
the  films  which  relate  to  these  themes, 
especially  None  Goes  His  Way  Alone 
(the  need  of  people  to  live  and  work 
and  play  together),  and  The  Harvest 
(portraying  the  problems  a  rural  pas- 
tor must  face).  Both  are  30  minutes, 
and  B&W,  and  (ought  to  be)  available 
through  your  local  AV  dealer.  New 
Faces  of  Africa,  30  minutes,  will  soon 
be  released.  Also  investigate  these  ti- 
tles: Family  of  Ghana,  29  min.;  Mc- 
Graw  Hill;  for  general  audiences. 
Beyond  Brick  and  Mortar,  32  min.; 
color;  returning  missionary  reflects  on 
what  he  accomplished;  UCMS,  222  S. 
Downey,  Indianapolis  7.  Congo  Jour- 
ney, 30  min.,  Methodist;  overview  of 
missions  in  Congo.  Challenge  of  Afri- 
ca, 30  min.;  B&W,  several  years  old, 
but  good.  (More  titles  in  September 
issue). 

At  every  meeting  of  local  church 
and  church  school  workers  we  attend  it 
is  obvious  that  no  or  little  AV  knowl- 
edge and  understanding  is  reaching 
these  people.  Why?  Denominations 
are  failing,  the  local  councils  of 
churches  are  neglectful,  the  local 
church  can't  lay  its  hands  on  leaders 
with  know-how,  and  AV  material  of 
fine  quality,  and  costly,  goes  little  used 
or  not  at  all.  Who  needs  to  wake  up 
first? 

We  can't  give  you  our  reasons  here 
but  we  found  the  Moody  Institute  of 
Science  (Los  Angeles  25)  filmstrip  se- 
ries, "Building  A  Better  Sunday 
School,"  a  sensible  and  helpful  presen- 
tation, and  priced  right  ($24.00  for  the 
four  filmstrips  and  2  LP  records). 


The  two  weeks  of  July  20-31  we  will 
be  teaching  Ed.260y,  .Audio-Visual 
Communication  in  Religious  Educa- 
tion (3  hrs.),  in  Syracuse  University, 
and  cordially  invite  even  those  slightly 
interested  to  confer  with  me  or  the 
University  about  this  course.  It  would 
be  a  joy  to  have  you  in  my  class. 
Gentle  Reader! 

We  like  the  theme,  "Improving 
Christian  Communication,"  for  the 
1 6th  (can  it  be  that  many?)  annual 
International  Conference  on  Audio- 
Visuals  In  the  Church,  to  be  held  at 
Green  Lake,  Wisconsin,  September  6- 
II,  1959.  The  Second  National  Exec- 
utive Consultation  will  run  concur- 
rently. For  the  top  brass  there  will  be 
Consultation  Laboratories  for  the 
lesser  brass.  Conference  Laboratories. 
In  both  instances,  some  tough  questions 
are  to  be  dealt  with  realistically.  De- 
tailed information  from  DAVBE,  257 
Fourth  Ave.,  N.  Y.  10. 

Geriatrical 

The  Proud  Years  shows  in  consider- 
able detail  the  practical  steps  that  can 
be  taken  to  help  old  and  infirm  people 
lead  active  and  useful  lives.  Being 
active  and  useful,  they  will  be  satisfy- 
ing. Now  the  intended  audience  for 
this  film  is  primarily  those  who  have 
responsibility  in  an  institutional  way 
for  the  aged  and  ill.  But,  such  a  film 
as  this  can  lift  the  ceiling  of  under- 
standing for  any  one  in  your  church, 
club,  or  group  —  young  or  middle- 
aged.  Churches  can  use  this  film  to 
educate  board  members  and  families 
on  how  to  understand  and  aid  effec- 
tively older  people  within  the  family 
and  community.  The  setting  for  this 
film  is  the  Home  for  The  Aged  and 
Infirm  Hebrews  of  New  York.  It  has  a 
running  time  of  28  minutes,  and  is 
available  from  the  Center  For  Mass 
Communication.  1125  Amsterdam  Ave., 
New  York  25. 

Changing  Alaska 

In  a  30-minute  color  documentary 
film,  Alaskan  Discovery,  we  see  what 
is  happening  to  the  church  in  Alaska. 
\  native  Christian,  English  speaking, 
is  being  interviewed  by  a   States-side 


visitor  and  the  camera  takes  us  out  to 
see  what  they  are  talking  about;  village 
way  of  life  changing:  migration  to 
larger  communities;  unemployment; 
settled  church-people  uneasy  in  the 
presence  of  the  newcomers;  no  one 
knowing  just  what  move  to  make,  or 
who  should  move  first;  vice  and  its 
victims;  lack  of  leadership  and  know- 
how  in  the  churches.  The  sequences 
are  good;  the  impression  lasting;  a 
good  film  for  use  in  family-night  and 
missionary  education  programs.  Thirty 
minutes;  good  photography;  forceful 
commentary  — a  useful  film  of  fine 
qualities.  Produced  by  Cathedral  Films, 
Inc.,  and  widely  available  through  lo- 
cal film  rental  libraries. 


One  Book  — Many 
Languages 

We  used  to  say,  there  ought  to  be  a 
film  showing  the  churches  how  the 
American  Bible  Society,  acting  as  the 
agency  of  the  churches,  translates, 
prints,  and  distributes  the  Bible  in  all 
parts  of  the  world.  Now  there  IS  such 
a  film.  Bearer  of  The  Book.  It's  in 
color,  with  a  running  time  of  27  min- 
utes. In  a  lively  manner  it  tells  us  how 
the  problems  of  translation  are  solved 
so  that  the  Bible  today  is  available  in 
1100  languages  and  dialects.  We  see 
patient  scholars  skillfully  working  out 
an  alphabet  for  the  language  of  a 
remote  people.  Then,  with  the  lan- 
guage in  written  form,  the  translation 
can  begin  —  word  by  word,  with  great 
care  to  get  just  the  right  native  word 
to  convey  the  Biblical  meaning.  No 
easy  task,  when  it  is  remembered  how 
much  of  Biblical  thinking  is  pro- 
found. 

We  are  shown  translation  "field- 
work";  shown  the  publication  and 
printing  process  in  N.  Y.:  and  then 
see  distribution  on  near  and  distant 
fronts.  An  excellent,  interesting,  in- 
formative film  just  the  thing  for  fam- 
ily-nights, for  youth  and  adult  clubs 
and  fellowships,  and  for  church  school 
teachers.  Warmly  recommended.  From 
the  A-V  Dept.,  American  Bible  Society, 
450  Park  Ave.,  New  York  22,  N.  Y., 
and  the  service  fee  is  $4.00. 


Parable  Films 


By   the   recent   release   of    Tumble- 
weed  Man  and  The  House  That  Hun- 


304 


EcJScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  June.    1959 


ter  Built,  Family  Films,  Inc.,  brings 
its  "Modern  Parables"  series  to  nine 
titles.  These  two  have  good  technical 
qualities,  a  running  time  of  30  min- 
utes, and  a  rental  of  S9.00  for  black 
and  white. 

The  first  film  puts  the  parabolic 
saying  concerning  the  tree  and  its 
fruit  in  a  modern  setting.  Larry  and 
his  wife  and  baby,  on  the  move  from 
job  to  job,  are  befriended  by  a  Chris- 
tian couple  who  operate  a  filling  sta- 
tion and  motel.  Their  faith  supports 
these  young  parents  when  trouble 
(quite  imaginary,  it  turns  out)  strikes 
and  helps  them  settle  down  and  face 
life. 

The  second  film  shows  us  two  fam- 
ilies: one  on  the  right  side  of  the 
tracks,  the  other  on  the  wrong  —  as 
Mr.  Hunter,  successful,  self-assured, 
and  very  casual  about  moral  and  re- 
ligious values,  neatly  orders  the  world. 
His  daughter  has  been  taught  to  go 
after  what  she  wants.  Coming  from 
the  other  family  is  a  fine  son,  brilliant 
student  and  the  inheritor  of  very 
fine  standards.  But,  he  is  not  nearly 
good  enough  for  Hunter's  daughter. 
When  tragedy  hits  both  families,  one 
crumbles  and  the  other  stands. 

In  both  films  there  is  a  strong  evan- 
gelistic flavor.  Both  have  a  message 
both  for  those  inside  and  outside  the 
church,  and  each  would  make  a  fine 
film-sermon  for  Sunday  evening  or 
mid-week  services.  I  recommend  both 
for  youth  fellowship  meetings  as  well. 
They  hold  the  mirror  up  to  our  times 
in  such  a  way  that  religious  faith  makes 
a  lot  of  sense. 

C.R.O.P. 

Ambassadors  To  The  Hungry  is  a 
16mm  B&W  sound  film  documenting 
the  origin  and  development  of  a  unique 
American  enterprise  —  CROP.  These 
letters  stand  for  the  Christian  Rural 
Overseas  Program  which  seeks  to  re- 
late our  abundance  to  the  stark  need 
of  the  post-war  world.  This  26-minute 
film  is  available  free,  except  for  return 
postage,  from  CROP,  117  W.  Lexing- 
ton Ave.,  Elkhart.  Indiana. 

It  gives  us  authentic  scenes  of  the 
devastation  caused  by  war,  earthquake, 
flood  and  famine  and  beautiful  scenes 
of  America's  bountiful  harvests.  It 
shows  us  the  response  which  rural 
America  has  made  to  the  needy  of  the 
world.  Their  hunger  and  general 
plight  is  realistically  shown  but  not 
sensationalized.  Food  is  seen  as  basic 
to  world  peace,  human  dignity  and 
development,  and  to  security  for  all 
mankind.  .And  who  can  or  will  dis- 
pute this  fact! 

Here  is  a  film  for  youth  and  adult 
groups  in  and  out  of  church;  in  city, 
town,  and  country.    It  informs  about 


CROP  in  particular,  but  it  can  moti- 
vate the  support  of  all  kinds  of  shar- 
ing programs.  It  is  a  document  of 
hope.  In  the  working  out  of  His  plan 
for  the  world,  God  has  placed  abun- 
dance in  our  hands.  We  will  be  meas- 
ured and  tested  by  what  we  do  with  it. 


Over- View  of  Mid-East 

Middle  East  Problems,  a  new  re- 
lease by  .Atlantis  Productions,  Inc. 
(7967  Sunset  Blvd..  Hollywood  46),  in 
twenty  some  minutes  gives  us  an  over- 
view of  some  of  the  basic  problems  of 
the  Middle  East  countries:  minority 
groups  within  political  units;  the  gen- 
eral backwardness  of  agriculture;  the 
slow  but  sure  industrialization,  and  the 
widespread  need  for  better  health  and 


educational  standards. 

The  photography  is  good  all  the  way, 
and  the  narration  is  informative  — 
but  not  continuous,  as  in  so  many 
films.  There  are  many  "stretches"  with 
background  music  only,  and  I  liked 
them.  It  left  some  time  for  the  mind 
to  absorb  and  assimilate.  Besides,  the 
music  is  nicely  keyed  to  the  pktorial 
sequences. 

This  film  is  reconunended  for  use 
with  young  people  and  adults  to  in- 
form, to  motivate  further  study;  to 
orient  them  on  some  basic  issues,  and 
help  them  understand  the  essential 
nature  of  a  key  region  of  our  contem- 
porary world.  As  a  background  film 
on  this  year's  ecumenical  study  theme. 
The  Middle  East,  it  should  have  wide 
and  profitable  use.  Recommended.

Industry-Education   Interlock 

An  interesting  example  of  the  inter- 
locking interests  of  business,  education, 
and  medical  and  engineering  science  was 
provided  in  the  recent  sponsorship  by  the 
Michigan  Bell  Telephone  Company,  of  a 
(Giantview)     large    screen    closed   circuit 


telecast,  using  a  ITV-6  camera  attached 
to  the  overhead  operating  room  light  of 
Beaumont  Hospital  with  no  other  illumi- 
nation. The  operation  involved  a  new 
surgical  procedure  in  which  Dr.  Michael 
Nadarino,  of  Hahnemann  Hospital,  Phila- 
delphia, repaired  the  bones  of  a  shattered 
leg  with  a  quick-hardening  plastic  foam. 
An  audience  of  some  80  surgeons  viewed 
the  operation  on  the  large  screen  and  on 
two  monitors  in  adjoining   rooms. 

Another  low  budget  big  screen  demon- 
stration by  Giantview,  at  the  Detroit 
SMPTE  meeting,  featured  a  presentation 
on  "Closed  Circuit  TV  in  Education  To- 
day," by  C.  M.  Braun,  of  the  Joint  Coun- 
cil on  Educational  Television,  picked  up 
on  an  RCA  TK-201  industrial  type  vidi- 
con  camera  and  projected  on  a  1  2'  x  15' 
screen. 


Quality   Equipment  Sound 
Investment 

"Within  the  next  ten  years  alone  our 
schools  will  be  called  upon  to  ?ccommo- 
date  a  student  body  that  will  have  ex- 
panded by  12,000,000,"  is  the  forecast 
made  at  the  recent  AASA  meeting  at  At- 
lantic City,  by  J.  J.  Stefan,  president  of 
the  school  equipment  division  of  The 
Brunswicke-Balke-Collender  Co.  About 
68,500  classrooms,  in  10,500  schools, 
will  be  built  this  year,  but  if  we  are  to 
catch  up  with  the  needs  resulting  from 
population  growth  and  obsolescence  of 
existing  plant  and  equipment,  "the 
schools  must  adopt  industry's  philosophy 
of  capital  outlay  as  an  expenditure  that 
must  be  equally  justifiable  in  the  future 
as  in  the  present,"  according  to  Mr. 
Stefan.  This  calls  for  "quality  equipment 
as  well  as  quality  construction,"  truly 
modern  equipment  "so  that  teaching 
methods  are  enhanced  and  advanced." 


Westinqhouse   Promises 
Sealed-Beam   Projector  Lamps 

The  sealed-beam  principle  of  the  auto 
headlamps  is  soon  to  be  applied  to  pro- 
jector lamps,  according  to  a  Westing- 
house  announcement.  Much  greater  light 
output,  low  wattage,  elimination  of  stray 
light  and  of  the  conventional  reflector 
and  condenser  lens  resulting  in  more 
compact  projector  design  are  some  of  the 
benefits  promised — a  year  or  more  hence. 

Photo  Scientists — Chicago, 
October 

The  1959  national  conference  of  the 
Society  of  Photographic  Scientists  and  En- 
gineers will  meet  October  26-30  at  Chi- 
cago's Edgewater  Beach  Hotel.  Kodak's 
Charles  E.  Ives  is  papers  chairman. 

A-V  Exhibit  at  World 
Christian   Education   Meeting 

Sixteen  camera  manufacturers  in  Japan 
joined  forces  in  presenting  an  audiovisual 
exhibit  In  connection  with  the  14th 
World  Christian  Education  Meeting,  in 
Tokyo,  attended  by  3,000  delegates  from 
69  countries. 


Da-Lite  Observes  50th 
Anniversary 

Da-Lite  Screen  Co.  is  celebrating  its 
Golden  Anniversary  —  it  started  manu- 
facture of  screens  in  a  Chicago  plant  in 
1909.  Chester  C.  Ccoley,  president,  has 
been  with  the  firm  for  34  years. 


Reeves   Licenses  Cousino 
Tope  Cartridge 

The  Cousino  loop  cartridge  for  tape 
recorders  has  been  licensed  by  Reeves 
Soundcraft,  tape  manufacturers.  The 
cartridge  permits  repetition  of  a  contin- 
uous loop  of  tape  without  rewinding  or 
threading  into  the  recorder.  Among  the 
applications  thus  far  made  public  are 
telephone  answering  service,  sleep-learn- 
ing experimentation,  and  multpile  hear- 
ing tests.  It  is  claimed  that  the  record- 
ing of  President  Eisenhower's  voice, 
broadcast  from  outer  space  via  the  Atlas, 
was  accomplished  by  this  type  of  loop 
cartridge. 


Alpex  combination  projector 


Movie  Slide  Combination 
Projector 

One  of  the  oldest  ideas  in  projector 
design  is  revived  in  the  new  "Alpex" 
8mm  motion  picture  projector  which,  by 
insertion  of  a  slide  unit  into  the  back  of 
its  lamphouse,  doubles  as  a  slide  projec- 
tor as  well.  The  Edison  Kinetoscope 
sought  to  accomplish  this  by  racking  over 
the  mechanism;  the  Acme  elevated  its 
entire  lamphouse  into  alignment  with  a 
standard  slide  carrier;  an  Ampro  silent 
16mm  projector  once  had  a  slide  take-off 
from  the  side  of  its  lamphouse.  The  new 
ALPEX -500 -Combination  weighs  8 '/2 
pounds,  has  a  500  watt  lamp,  17mm 
f:1.4  lens,  retails  at  $69.95  with  case; 
the  slide  attachment  (which  can  accom- 
modate the  Airequipt  changers)  $24.95.

Welcome  to  NAVA! 

As    participants    in    the    NAVA 

C!oii\eiuion  aiul  F.xliibit,  as  contrib- 
utors to  it  ill  tlic  lonn  of  this  spe- 
cial issue,  and  also  as  cager-to-learn 
spectators  —  the  staff  of  Educational 
Scree?!  and  AUDIOVISUAL  Guide 
welcomes  you  to  Chicago  for  the 
lour  most  imj)ortant  days  in  the 
audiovisual  year,  July  25-28.  We 
Iiope,  in  fact  we  knoxi',  that  you'll 
find  much  of  value,  of  interest, 
and  much  that's  enjoyable  too. 

This  Month's  Cover 

I'hc  painting  on  oiu'  cover  this 
month  is  an  artist's  concept  of  the 
Eidophor,  a  revolutionary  new 
television  projector,  adaptable  to 
color  or  black  and  white  and  pos- 
sessing an  independent  light  source. 
The  projector  was  developed  in 
Switzerland  with  the  "assistance  of 
C  I  B  A  Pharmaceutical  Products, 
Inc.,  which  has  recently  set  up  a 
wholly  -  owned  subsidiary  called 
Eidophor  Inc. 

Eidophor  Inc.  will  soon  have  on 
hand  forty  of  these  projectors, 
along  with  the  world's  largest  mo- 
bile unit  for  the  production  of 
color  television.  The  president  of 
the  new  company,  former  Assistant 
Secretary  of  State  Roderic  O'Con- 
nor, has  announced  some  very  in- 


teresting and  ambitious  plans  to 
the  future.  Although  these  are  a 
l)iesent  limited  to  industrial  use 
the  additional  possibilities  are  fas 
cinaiing. 

Hans  Erni,  the  artist,  is  a  Swis 
with  an  international  reputation 
The  clarity  and  superb  draughts 
inanship  of  his  works  have  madi 
them  especially  appreciated  by  sci 
enlists,  mathematicians  and  engi 
neers,  with  whom  the  artist  ha 
personally  expressed  a  kinship.  Hi 
is  more  conscientious  than  mos 
painters  in  maintaining  an  imme 
diate  contact  with  the  public  anc 
the  present  day  world.  By  elinii 
nating  the  usual  perspective,  he  i 
able  to  combine  past,  present  an< 
future  possibilities  on  the  sam( 
terms.  These  qualities  have  con 
tributed  to  his  remarkable  succes 
as  painter,   illustrator,   muralist. 

Watch  for  the 
Blue  Book! 

The  August  issue  will  again  bi 
devoted  to  materials  —  all  the  films 
filmslri])s,  slides,  maps,  models  aru 
other  teaching  aids  that  have  coiiii 
to  our  attention  since  the  publica 
tion  of  last  year's  Blue  Book.  I 
will  be  an  issue  to  keep  on  ham 
throughout  the  year,  for  consulta 
lion  and  advice.  — EJ

Images  of  the  Future" 


This  is  the  title  of  a  valuable  booklet,  recently  published, 
setting  forth  some  very  practical  ideals  for  the  future  develop- 
ment of  our  countiy's  high  schools.  It  tuas  prepared  by  J.  Lloyd 
Trump,  Director,  Commission  on  the  Experimental  Study  of  the 
Utilization  of  the  Staff  in  the  Secondary  School;  appointed  by 
The  National  Association  of  Secondary-School  Principals  and 
supported  by  the  Ford  Foundation.  The  editors  asked  and  were 
granted  permission  to  publish  brief  excerpts  from  this  work, 
especially  from  the  section  "Educational  Facilities,"  in  the  hope 
that  these  trends  will  encourage  audiovisual  personnel  and  man- 
ufactiirers  alike.

All  of  above  that  arc  portable  should  be  available  for  students  to  bring  to

IN   thinking  about   tlic  facilities 
of  the  .secondary  school  of  the 
future,    these    things    must    be 
kept  in  mind: 

Kducational  facilities  will  no 
longer  be  merely  a  school  building 
ancl  its  grounds. 

.Space  within  the  building  will  lie 
plainied  for  what  will  be  taught 
in  it  and  how  it  will  be  taught. 
Installations  for  effective  use  ol 
electronic  and  mechanical  aids  will 
be  provided. 

Kducational  facilities  will  be  as 
different  as  will  be  the  learning  ac- 
tivities jjlanned  for  the  students. 
These  learning  activities  will  take 
place  not  only  in  the  school  build- 
ing but  also  in  separate  libraries, 
shops,  governmental  agencies,  busi- 
ness and  industrial  establishments, 
and  many  other  |)laces  in  the  local 
(Oinmunity.  On  occasion,  activities 
will  take  place  in  communities 
some  distance  from  the  school  it- 
self. This  broader  concept  of  facili- 
ties will  require  different  kinds  of 
control  and  supervision  over  stu- 
dents from  those  now  possible,  .so 
changes  in  provisions  for  legal  re- 
sj)onsibilities  will  be  made. 

liecause  class  grcjups  will  vary  in 
si/e,  the  school  plant  of  the  future 
must  provide  rooms  for  groups  of 
10,20,50,100,  or  possibly  more  stu- 
dents. A  variety  of  instructional 
and  resotnce  areas  will  replace  the 
|)rcsent  series  of  standard,  stacked 
classroom  cubicles,  each  designed 
to  contain  .SO  students  and  one 
teacher.  .Study  halls  as  they  are  now 
known  will  not  exist.  Instead  there 
will  be  study-resource  rooms  where 
students  may  read,  listen  to  and 
view  taj)es,  observe  films  and  slides, 
work  on  self-teaching  and  self-a])- 
praisal  machines,  use  science  and 
other  ccjuipment,  think,  write,  and 
participate  in  other  more  or  less 
indiviclual  study  activities. 

It  is  difficult  at  this  time  to  make 
an  intelligent  estimate  of  the  num- 
ber ancl  sizes  of  rooms  needed  in 
the  future  secondary  school.  The 
example  of  a  400-student  school 
used  here  might  require  a  building 
with  less  floor  space  per  student 
than  present  ones. 

The  future  scluiol  will  make 
available  to  its  students  all  the  ave- 
iHies  of  knowledge,  appreciation 
and  understanding.  Textbooks  and 
teacher  recitations  will  no  longer 
be  sufficient  means  of  contact  be- 
tween the  student  and  what  he 
wants  to  learn.  Television,  radio, 
disc  recordings,  tape  recordings, 
films  and  slides,  mock-ups,  models, 
museum  materials,  books,  maga- 
zines, pamphlets,  and  other  mate-

At  Valley  Oaks  Elemeiuury  School,  Spring  Branch  IndcpcndenI  School  District,  Houston,   Texas — selected  by 
A.A.S.A.  for  showing  ot  its  exhibit  of  outstanding  school  designs — Mrs.  Lois  Land,  Director  of  Special  Services,  soys: 


"In  our  modern  schools, 

glass-walled  rooms  are  hard  to  darken. 

That's  why  we  use  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors.'* 


"In  keeping  with  modern  architectural  trends,  our 
schools  are  built  with  lots  of  glass. 

"At  the  same  time,  in  keeping  with  modern  educa- 
tional thinking,  we  use  instructional  films  in  practically 
every  course  we  teach  in  the  Spring  Branch  Independ- 
ent School  District.  And  we  show  the  films  right  in 
these  hard-to-darken  classrooms.  So,  picture  brilliance 
is  a  major  factor  in  our  selection  of  a  motion  picture 


projector.  We  have  bought  only  Kodak  Pageant  Pro- 
jectors for  three  years  now,  because  they  give  us  maxi- 
mum brightness — and  we  have  no  maintenance  trou- 
bles with  them,  either." 

Kodak  Pageant's  Super-40  Shutter  provides  40% 
more  light  on  the  screen  than  an  ordinary  shutter  at

THE  OVERHEAD  PROJECTOR  keeps  the  teacher  in 

front  of  the  class,  projecting  his  own  slides,  facing  his  class  at 
all  times,  observing  reactions,  and  adjusting  his  presentation  to 
the  response  of  his  pupils. 

There  is  no  need  for  a  separate  operator,  v/ith  an  accom- 
panying system  of  signals.  The  projector  complements  the 
teacher  rather  than  replaces  him.  The  teacher  selects  his  own 
pace,  extemporizing  as  he  wishes;  commenting  before,  during, 
and  after  projection. 

He  uses  the  screen  as  a  blaclcboard,  writing  or  drawing  at 
will  on  slides  or  sheets  of  transparent  plastic,  without  turning 
away  from  his  class.  Single  or  multiple  sheets  of  film  are  easily 
superimposoble  on  the  slides,  allowing  the  teacher  to  unmask 
transparencies  in  progressive  disclosures,  or  to  build  up  several 
components  into  a  composite  image. 

Slides  are  large  (8"  x  10"),  and  easy  to  make.  Rudimentary 
art  skills  produce  dramatic,  colorful  transparencies.

Effective 
Teaching 


Paul  C.  Reed 


j 


"We  should  do  far  more  than  wc  are  tuw  doing  to  enhance  the 
prestige  of  the  teacher  and  to  provide  him  with  more  effective  sup- 
port in  his  efforts  to  improve  the  effectiveness  of  his  teaching." 

Because  you  may  have  missed  it,  we  think  we  should  tell  you 
something  about  the  report  from  which  this  quotation  came.  It's 
another  report  on  education  with  real  significance  for  all  of  us  con- 
cerned with  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials.  It's  another  top  level 
report  urging  the  use  of  modern  techniques  of  communication  in 
teaching. 

"Education  for  the  Age  of  Science"  is  the  title  covering  the  six- 
teen tiiousand  words  from  President  Eisenhower's  Science  Advisory 
Committee.  Although  prepared  by  the  Conmiittee's  nine-man  panel 
on  science  and  engineering  education,  the  report  makes  clear  that 
all  education  must  be  strengthened  to  make  "a  stronger  nation 
more  likely  to  survive." 

Like  every  important  report  that's  been  published  in  recent  years 
on  the  problems  and  future  of  American  education,  this  one,  too, 
emphasizes  the  importance  of  audiovisual  methods  and  materials 
of  instruction.  For  instance,  this  report  recommends  "that  present 
efforts  be  aggressively  pursued  and  substantially  expanded  in  bring- 
ing together  leading  scientists,  scholars,  and  teachers  to  .  .  .  develop 
and  supply  adequate  teaching  and  learning  aids  of  all  appropriate 
kinds,  including  motion  pictures,  television,  tape  recordings,  slides, 
and  other  audiovisual  materials  designed  to  aid  the  student  .  .  .  and 
'  to  relieve  the  teacher  of  unnecessary  burdens  of  preparation  and 
instruction." 

It  used  to  be  that  only  zealous  audiovisual  educators  talked  like 
that! 

At  another  point  in  the  report,  the  committee  concludes  that  be 
cause  the  increasing  number  of  students  is  outrunning  the  supply 
of  teachers  "we  must  find  ways  to  increase  very  substantially  the 
effectiveness  of  every  teacher"  and  "we  must,  therefore,  learn  to  use 
effectively  every  po^ible  teaching  aid  including  television,  motion 
pictures,  improved  textbooks  and  classroom  equipment." 

These  are  important  pronouncements  about  the  importance  and 
place  of  audiovisual  materials  in  teaching  and  learning.  These  are 
the  words  of  renowned  scientists  and  educators.  They  have  no  prej- 
udices about  materials  and  methods.  Their  only  concern  is  to  im- 
prove educational  standards  and  education's  product.  They  believe 
that  audiovisual  materials  are  essential  and  that  they  must  be  used 
if  teaching  is  to  be  effective.  They've  said  this  in  no  imcertain  words. 

The  values  of  all  kinds  of  audiovisual  materials  for  effective 
teaching  seem  now  to  be  finally  recognized.  Determining  when  the 
turning  point  came  in  this  discovery  may  take  greater  perspective. 
It  may  have  been,  however,  at  the  point  when  science  education 
received  all  the  attention  and  emphasis  following  the  launching  of 
the  Soviet  earth  satellite.  From  that  point  on,  education's  historians 
may  someday  tell  us,  the  integrated  use  of  all  kinds  of  audiovisual 
materials  in  instruction  became  commonplace. 

Meantime,  this  is  the  Summer  of  1959;  and  this  issue  of  "Educa- 
tional Screen  and  AUDIOVISUAL  Guide"  eagerly  anticipates  the 
excitement  that  always  accompanies  the  National  Audiovisual 
Convention  and  Exhibit.  This  year,  as  we  near  the  end  of  the  first 
of  the  five  years  of  the  National  Defense  Education  Act,  we  expect 
the  convention's  discussion  will  reflect  the  urgency  of  the  times, 
and  that  the  exhibit  will  vividly  display  the  industry's  achievement. 
Surely  the  largest  audiovisual  exhibit  ever  assembled  will  clearly 
demonstrate  through  new  and  improved  equipment  and  materials 
the  ability  and  readiness  of  the  audiovisual  industry  to  meet  its 
challenges.  We  wouldn't  miss  this  year's  convention  for  anything. 
^Ve  hope  you'll  be  there,  too.

For  Such  a  Time  as  This'' 


by  P.   H.   Jaffarian 


x 


HESE  words  find  their  origin  in  a  famous 
Old  Testament  story.  Through  the  Providence 
of  God,  and  after  years  of  preparation.  Queen 
Esther  has  been  brought  to  the  hour  of  oppor- 
tunity which  is  to  spell  the  deliverance  of  her 
people.  It  has  ever  been  thus.  Opportunities  are 
made  for  those  who  are  prepared  to  meet  them. 
^  The  audiovisual  field  has  arrived  at  such  a 
""  tin-ifi.  Behind  us  are  years  of  growth,  preparation 
and  devoted  service.  Audiovisual  people  in  edu- 
t»cataon,  ^religion,  and  industry  have  the  special- 
ized knowledge  that  means  good  utilization  of 
our.  materials  and  equipment.  And  the  audio- 
visual industry  is  ready  with  excellent  lines  of 
equipment  and  materials,  plus  a  specialized 
audiovisual  dealer  system  which  has  been  built 
on  the  basis  of  service  to  the  user. 

1  am  proud  to  be  a  part  of  this  dealer  organi- 
zation.  Over   the  years   I   have  seen    the  many 
major  contributions  which  the  AV  dealers  have 
made,  both  personally  and  through  our  national 
organization,  towards  the  increased  use  of  audio- 
visual communications  media  in  all  walks  of  life. 
Through    our    national    trade    association,    a 
dealer   organization    has    been    built    up    which 
effectively  covers  the  nation.  Within  our  audio- 
visual business   a   competitive  spirit  exists   and 
always  will  remain,  but  our  dealers  have  been 
taught    to    minimize    their    differences    and    to 
magnify  the  things  we  hold  in  common.  Higher 
ethical     standards    have    been     promoted     and 
achieved.   The   annual   NAVA   Convention,   re- 
gional meetings,  and  local  associations  have  knit 
the  organization  into  a  huge  familv.   The  Na- 
tional  Institute   for  Audio-Visual   Selling,   held 
each  summer  in  cooperation  with  Indiana  Uni- 
versity, has  contributed  much  in  sales  and  man- 
agerial training.  Its  effects  have  permeated  the 
entire  organization.  From  its  earliest  days,  NAVA 
has  worked  closely  with  audiovisual  specialists  in 
education,  industry  and  the  church,  and  broad 
cooperative  relationships  have  been  developed. 
Suddenly,  a  "Sputnik  Age"  has  burst  upon  us. 
It  has  brought  us  face  to  face  with  the  fact  that 
learning  processes  must  be  accelerated.  One  re- 
sult of  this  has  been  a  continuing  increase  in 
AV   utilization    in    industry   and    business.   An- 
other, and  perhaps  more  dramatic,  result  is  the 
attention   which   our   Federal    Government    has 
given  to  new  educational  media  in  the  National 
Defense  Education  Act.  In  sharp  contrast  to  the 
action  of  a  national  education  conference  a  few 


years  ago  in  classifying  .\V  items  as  "luxuries 
.  .  .  next  in  importance  to  swimming  pools,"  the 
I'.  S.  Congress  has  clearly  stated  that  better 
teachuig  equipment  and  materials  are  essential 
"il  instruction  and  learning  are  to  be  improved" 
-  and  has  appropriated  many  millions  of  dollars 
lor  their  ])urchase. 

Providentially,  our  Associations  in  the  audio- 
visual field  have  arrived  at  the  place  where  they 
are  in  position  to  render  great  services.  DAVI, 
EFLA,  the  AV  Commission  on  Public  Informa- 
tion, and  important  groups  in  religion  and  in- 
dustry provide  channels  for  action  and  communi- 
cation on  audiovisual  problems.  In  these  critical 
first  days  of  implementation  of  the  Defense  Act 
and  of  general  .\V  expansion,  these  organiza- 
tions have  proven  their  value  over  and  over 
again. 

We   in    the    audiovisual    industry   consider   it 
exceptionally  fortunate  that  only  30  months  ago 
we  moved  the  headquarters  of  our  N.A.VA  organi- 
zation from  Chicago  to  Fairfax,  Virginia,  a  sub- 
urb of  Washington.  When  the  Defense  Educa- 
tion .Act  was  proposed,  N.WA  was  in  position 
to  step  into  the  breach  and  offer  valuable  assist- 
ance.    Don     White,    our    National     Executive, 
worked  closely  with   those  who  formulated  the 
bill.  Maurice  Mitchell  of  EBF  and  Charles  Percy 
of  Bell  &  Howell   testified   forcefully  as  to  the 
need  for  audiovisual  provisions.  Effective  legisla- 
tive work  was  done  in  close  cooperation  with  the 
NEA  and  other  interested  organizations.   With 
the  passage  of  the  law,  NAV.\  produced  "AV- 
864,"  a  guide  to  its  audiovisual  provisions,  and 
distributed  65,000  copies  throughout  the  nation. 
Now,    in    the    implementation    phase    of    the 
National    Defense    Education    Act,    Don    White 
and  Dennis  Williams  have  worked  in  an  advisory 
capacity  with  the  State  Departments  of  Educa- 
tion in  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  states,  help- 
ing   in    the    preparation    of    State    plans.    The 
members   of  N.-W.A   have   been    kept   informed 
and  fully  prepared  for  what  is  ahead. 

A  day  of  opportunity  is  before  us.  It  appears 
that  all  of  our  preparation  was  "for  such  a  time 
as  this."  As  competent  business  men,  we  of  the 
audiovisual  industry  must  also  be  possessed  of 
the  true  meaning  of  service.  With  this  spirit  we 
will  not  only  cope  with  this  emergency,  but  it 
will  lead  us  into  the  greatest  era  of  learning  in 
the  history  of  our  nation.

National  Audio  -  Visual 
Convention  and  Exhibit 


I 


N  THE  preceding  story,  NAVA  president 
)affarian  elaborates  upon  the  theme  of  the  1959 
Convention  and  Exhibit— "Lilt  the  AV  Standards 
Higher."  To  lead  the  way,  a  series  of  speeches, 
workshops  and  seminars  has  been  scheduled, 
combined  with  the  largest  display  of  audiovisual 
equipment  ever  assembled  to  date.  An  attend- 
ance of  approximately  2,500  audiovisual  spe- 
cialists from  all  parts  of  the  country  is  expected, 
and  this,  together  with  the  combined  member- 
ships of  the  other  paiticipating  organizations, 
should  residt  in  most  mutually  beneficial  ses- 
sions 

Charles  H.  Percy,  President  of  Bell  k  Howell 
Company,  Chicago,  will  be  the  official  keynote 
speaker.  iHillowing  him  in  the  first  general  ses- 
sion will  be  Dan  Forrestal,  Director  of  Public 
Relations,  Monsanto  Chemical  Company,  St. 
Louis.  Also,  Dr.  Elliott  H.  Kone,  Director  of  the 
iVudio-Visual  Center  of  Yale  University,  will 
speak  on  "The  Philosophy  and  Practice  of  the 
Language  Laboratory,"  emphasizing  the  fact  that 
language  teachers  have  pioneered  in  the  use  of 
audiovisual  media  hardly  touched  by  teachers 
in  other  fields. 


The  second  general  session  will  have  as  speak- 
ers Dr.  William  li.  Sanborn,  Director,  Bureau 
of  Instructional  Materials,  San  Francisco  Unified 
School  District,  and  J.  Roger  Deas  from  Ameri- 
can Can  Company,  New  York  City.  Dr.  Sanb)orn 
will  speak  on  "The  Future  for  Instructional 
Materials— a  Problem  in  Professional  Coopera- 
tion," using  a  historical  approach  and  discussing 
current  practices  and  potential  trends  in  terms 
of  mutual  cooperation.  Mr.  Deas,  whose  talk 
is  titled  "The  Vision  of  America,"  will  dem- 
onstrate the  important  role  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials in  improving  industrial  communications, 
stressing  the  importance  of  "indigenatizing" 
basic  aids  to  give  local  impact  and  the  use  of 
audiovisuals  in  creating  and  maintaining  a  "cor- 
porate image." 

Again  this  year,  both  general  sessions  will  be 
preceded  by  breakfasts  in  the  Morrison  Hotel's 
Terrace  Casino,  and  the  annual  business  meeting 
will  take  place  between  addresses  at  the  second 
general  session  on  Monday.  Sales  Meetings  have 
been  scheduled  during  the  Convention  by  four- 
teen companies.  Admission  to  these  events  is

Agricultural  Audio -Visual  Workshop 


"FRATERNITY"  of  communications- 
conscious  agricidtural  leaders  will  meet  in  Chi- 
cago at  the  Morrison  Hotel  July  27-28  for  their 
5th  annual  Agricultural  Audio-Visual  W^ork- 
shop.  Those  members  of  "AAVW"  who  attended 
in  the  past,  but  find  it  impossible  to  attend  this 
year's  event  arc  following  the  suggestions  of  the 
sponsoring  publication,  Comity  Agent  d-  Vo-Ag 
Teacher,  by  writing  or  talking  to  other  profes- 
sional leaders  and  urging  them  to  attend. 

The  AAVW  thus  is  not  only  an  annual  get- 
together  but  a  movement  aimed  at  finnishing 
an  outlet  for  information  assembled  not  only 
at  the  workshop  but  also  between  members  and 
professional  audiovisual  experts.  There  are  no 
dues  or  officers.  Information  will  be  supplied  to 
"members"  of  the  group  by  the  publication 
which  reaches  about  35,000  professional  agri- 
cultural workers  each  month. 

Purposes  of  the  workshop  are: 

(1)  to  stimulate  interest  among  more  and 
more  ag  leaders  in  agricultural  communications. 

(2)  to  provide  training  and  inspiration  to  get 
more  workshojis  started  in  the  various  states. 

(.3)  to  help  agricultural  leaders  become  more 
professional  in  presenting  information  to  farm- 
ers, agricultural  associations  and  other  farm 
groups.  —  Gordon  L.  Berg,  editorial  director. 

PROGRAM  -  JULY  27-28 
New  idea.s  and  audiovisual  tools. 

Where  do  audiovisuals  fit  into  the  communi- 
cations picture  in  agricultural  teaching  and 
advisory  work? 

Adrian  TerLouw,  educational  consultant  in 
the  sales  division  of  Eastman  Kodak  Company, 
opened  our  first  audiovisual  workshop  in  1955. 
He'll  be  back  this  year  to  show  you  how  to  plan 


your  audiovisual  program. 
Sharpen  your  exhibiting  skills! 

What  are  the  common  mistakes  of  agricultural 
exhibits?  What  will  an  effective  fair  exhibit  cost? 

Herbert  F.  McFeeley,  exhibits  specialist,  Penn- 
sylvania Stale  University,  was  our  choice  as  one 
of  the  best  authorities  to  handle  these  questions 
and  more! 
Utilizing  better  color  slides. 

Situation:  ^'ou  want  a  series  of  slides  to  show 
the  results  of  yoin  Extension  or  Vo-Ag  program 
for  the  year.  This  would  be  a  tremendous  public 
relations  tool  —  and  inexpensive,  too  —  for  meet- 
ings with  farmers.  'Ihere  are  a  host  of  other  ways 
to  use  the  handy  color  slide,  too. 

Jim  Brown,  manager  of  Grafiex's  visual  edu- 
cation department  will  discuss  "LItilization  of 
the  35mm  sliilc  in  Visual  Education."  We  guar- 
antee that  this  will  be  one  session  loaded  with 
ideas. 
Make  better  use  of  opaque  projection. 

Are  you  in  a  rut?  Do  you  realize  there  are 
many  uses  you  can  make  of  the  opaque  projector 
that  you  haven't  even  thought  of? 

C;iif    Scjuibb,    Scjuibb-Taylor,    Inc.,    has    been 
showing  educators  and  commercial  people  how 
to  use  the  opacjue  projector  for  many  years. 
Keep  up-to-date  on  radio  and  television. 

Howard  Knaus,  extension  visual  aids  special- 
ist at  Pmtlue,  will  give  you  tips  on  how  to  gear 
your  program   to   the  changing  tempo  of  farm 
radio  and   television. 
Make  better  use  of  tapes  for  teaching. 

Our  team  of  experts  will  answer  all  your 
(juestions,  such  as  using  the  mciro])honc  correct- 
ly, ojJlimum  playback  methods  and  so  on.

Once  again  the  National  Audio-Visual  Association  makes  possible  the  world's 
greatest  audiovisual  exhibition.  Here  is  the  annual  opportunity  for  manufacturers 
and  dealers  to  display  their  wares  to  the  greatest  adva^itage ;  the  time  for  the  audio- 
visual public  to  see  demonstrations  and  obtain  information  on  new  developments, 
improved  models  and  established  favorites  in  equipment  and  materials. 

The  NAVA  Convention  and  Exhibit  has  successfully  and  steadily  grown  since  its 
inception  in  1947.  The  combined  attendance  of  the  concurrently  meeting  organiza- 
tions has  been  mutually  beneficial.  And  the  Morrison  Hotel  contributes  to  the 
success  by  providing  excellent  facilities,  including  its  entire  first  floor  and  mezzanine,

])repares  to  take  a  picture  in  the  second  studio 


A 


RECENT  move  to  spacious  new  quarter 
with  improved  technical  laciUties  enables  Ko 
dak's  Audio-Visual  Service  to  provide  even  faste: 
and  smoother  production  flow  for  the  many  mo 
tion  pictures,  slide  presentations  and  print  set; 
it  supplies  to  organizations  throughout  the  couni 
try. 

About  20,000  showings  of  1,200  motion  pictuni 
prints,  1,200  slide  sets,  and  650  print  sets,  not  in^ 
eluding  overseas  bookings  handled  through  Koi 
dak's  International  Division  and  Canadian  Koi 
dak  were  supplied  last  year  to  groujis  interestec 
in  learning  more  aboiu  photography. 

In  addition,  Audio-Visual  Service  assists  Ko 
dak's  sales  department  in  sales  presentations,  ant 
maintains  facilities  that  make  it  an  ideal  audio 
visual  "pilot  plant."  Besides  helping  the  com 
pany's  sales  service  lecture  staff  in  prepariiu 
presentations,  Audio-\'isual  Service  also  assi.iu 
sales  executives  in  producing  their  talks  for  con^ 
ventions,  seminars,   dealer  meetings,   and   train 


Kodak's  "Pilot  Plant" 


In  its  role  as  an  audiovisual  pilot  plant,  the 
department  is  host  to  over  100  people  a  year 
from  business,  industry  and  education,  who  come 
to  see  the  latest  in  audiovisual  developments  — 
ideas  and  equipment  that  might  prove  useful 
in  their  own  operations. 

Another  aid  to  organizations  is  a  selection  of 
leaflets  and  booklets,  including  "Camera  Club 
News,"'  a  jniblication  sent  to  over  4,000  clubs 
about  three  times  a  year.  It  tells  of  :iew  tech- 
niques, club  activities  and  photographic  compe- 
titions. 

Audio-Visual  Service  Club  programs  are  many 
and  varied.  Each  presentation  is  designed  for  a 
group  with  a  specific  level  of  photographic 
knowledge.  As  one  example,  there  is  a  slide 
presentation,  "Introduction  to  Picture  Making," 
which  is  idea!  for  beginners.  For  a  gioup  with 
more  technical  background,  there  is  "Revolu- 
tion in  Color  Printing,"  consisting  of  color  slides 
and  prints  illustrating  how  easy  it  is  to  make 
color  prints  and  enlargements. 

One  new  slide  presentation  has  been  designed 
for  a  -uide  range  of  interests.  Entitled  "Our  Col- 
orful Capital."  it  utilizes  dual-track  magnetic 
tape  recording  and  carries  on  one  half  a  "photo- 
technics"  discussion  of  the  slides  and  on  the  other 
a  more  general  or  travelogue  approach. 

A  tour  through  the  "pilot  plant"  gives  some 
idea  of  what  is  seen  by  the  himdreds  of  visitors 
who  come  to  find  out  "how  we  do  it."  The  new 
facilities,  in  which  jobs  begun  in  the  editorial 
and  production  planning  offices  move  in  logical 
order  through  the  art  production,  photography, 
laboratory  hmctions,  and  sound  recording  to  the 
distribution  section,  makes  the  Audio-Visual 
Service  story  realistic  to  the  visitor  seeking 
knowledge  of  advanced  techniques. 

-The  entrance  to  Audio-Visual  Service  is  a  re- 
ception room  serving  both  as  a  welcoming  area 
and  a  (ommunications  center  for  jjaging  persons 
within  .\\'S. 

fn  adjacent  editorial  and  production  planning 
areas  are  offices,  a  production  planning  room, 
and  two  conference  rooms.  New  story  boards 
make  for  easier  planning  of  lectures  in  the  pro- 
duction planning  room.  Here  also  is  a  file  of 
some  8.()(t0  master  slitles  from  which  lecturers 
may  choose.  One  conference  room  leatiues  three 
rows  oi  slide  sctjuence  illinninat(jrs  that  allow 
several  persons  to  arrange  slide  talks  simul- 
taneously. 

With  the  format  of  the  presentation  decided, 
the  artist  prepares  the  needed  cartoons,  charts, 
lettering  and  other  art.  Finished,  the  pieces  are 
taken  lo  the  photographic  studios. 


In  the  two  studios,  the  photographers  also  take 
other  required  color  and  black-and-white  pic- 
tures of  Kodak  products  or  otlier  subjects  for 
prints  or  slides.  If  one  studio  isn't  large  enough 
for  the  picturetaking,  the  two  can  be  combined. 

In  the  laboratory  area,  AVS  has  facilities  for 
making  special  Ektacolor  prints  properly  bal- 
anced for  copying.  A  chemical  mixing  area,  con- 
venient to  the  processing  rooms,  permits  chem- 
icals to  be  mixed  on  demand  for  special  black- 
and-white  and  color  processing.  A  new  light- 
finishing  area  facilitates  washing,  drying  and 
mounting  of  prints. 

Slides,  prints,  or  art  work  requiring  duplica- 
tion proceed  next  door  to  a  copying  room.  A 
new  optical  printer,  primarily  for  copying  slides 
or  producing  filmstrips,  has  been  added  to  the 
duplicating  equipment.  Thousands  of  glass- 
mounted  slides  are  required  yearly  for  the  pack- 
aged slide  lectures. 

AVS  has  a  sound-recording  area  consisting 
of  narration  and  sound  control  rooms.  The 
former  is  constructed  like  those  of  many  broad- 
casting studios  —  double  walled  with  floor  and 
ceiling  of  spring  construction.  Thus  the  lec- 
turer can  tape-record  a  talk  without  fear  of 
outside  noises. 

Movies  can  be  projected  into  this  narration 
room  so  that  anyone  making  a  magnetic  Sono- 
track  recording  on  motion  picture  film  can  syn- 
chronize his  narration  with  the  picture. 

The  sound  control  rooin  is  equipped  with  two 
professional  console  tape  imits  and  two  turn- 
tables for  the  taping  of  talks  and  addition  of 
music  and  sound  effects.  These  can  also  record 
sound  emanating  from  the  adjacent  projection 
room. 

The  39-seat  miniature  theater  with  a  built-in 
wide-screen  enables  lecturers  to  rehearse  and  pre- 
view their  programs.  It  serves  as  a  demonstra- 
tion room  for  visitors  on  how  to  present  audio- 
visual programs.  The  room  lighting,  motion  pic- 
ture and  slide  projectors  are  controlled  from  the 
lectern.  Remote  control  of  slide  changing  is 
possible  from  three  different  locations  in  the 
theater. 

Final  step  in  the  logical  sequence  of  audio- 
visual aids  production  is  the  AVS  distribution 
center.  Located  adjacent  to  the  AVS  laboratories, 
this  section  maintains,  schedules,  and  routes  the 
package  programs  of  slides,  print  sets,  and  movies 
so  they  arrive  on  schedule  for  meetings  through- 
out the  U.  S.  Because  of  the  volume  of  visual 
aids  handled,  electronic  film  inspection  equip- 
ment and  high  speed  recording  tape  duplicators 
are  utilized.

FILM  EVALUATIONS 


by  L.  C.  Larson  and  Carolyn  Guss 


Technology  And  You 

(Neubacher  Productions,  10609  Brad- 
bury Road,  Los  Angeles  64,  California) 
13  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  color,  1959. 
$130. 

Description 

Technology  and  You  defines  tech- 
nology and  shows  its  applications  in 
transportation;  community  planning; 
architecture:  automation;  electrical; 
atomic,  and  solar  power;  and  research. 
It  then  relates  present  technological 
achievements  to  the  roles  the  students 
today  may  play  in  future  advances 
in  this  area. 

The  film  opens  with  a  series  of 
sciiool  scenes  showing  students  en- 
gaged in  a  variety  of  learning  activi- 
ties. It  stresses  that  everyone  must 
have  a  salable  skill;  therefore,  the 
knowledge  acquired  in  school  is  very 
important. 

Transportation's  role  in  the  tech- 
nical age  is  illustrated  in  both  air  and 
highway  travel.  The  speed  provided 
by  jet  and  turbo-prop  planes  saves 
travel  time,  permitting  increased  op- 
portunities for  travel  and  personal 
contacts  which  improve  understanding 
between  individuals  and  nations.  The 
contribution  of  engineers  to  trans- 
portation is  not  limited  to  improving 
airplane  design  and  engines.  Highway 
engineers'  improvements  in  road  build- 
ing techniques  have  brought  freeways 
which  speed  traffic  by  reducing  con- 
gestion and  thereby  increasing  safety. 

As  the  transportation  improves,  new 
communities  will  develop  on  the  out- 
skirts of  the  cities.  The  film  illustrates 
some  of  the  roles  of  technology  in 
solving  the  various  problems  present- 
ed in  community  development,  such 
as  recreation,  streets,  shopping  facili- 
ties, and  zoning. 

From  the  problem  of  community 
development,  the  film  makes  a  transi- 
tion to  the  designing  of  all  types  of 
buildings  —  architecture.  The  trim, 
bright,  functional  design  of  today's 
buildings  is  achieved  through  use  of 
new  and  colorful  materials,  such  as 
aluminum,  stainless  steel,  and  ceramic 
tile.  The  work  of  artists,  designers, 
and  landscape  architects  also  must  be 
incorporated  into  planning  today's 
buildings. 

Automation  will  provide  relief  from 
hard  labor  and  tedious  jobs,  releasing 
people  for  more  creative  activity  and 
extra  hours  of  leisure  time.  In  indus- 
try this  will  mean  jobs  for  electronics 


experts,  mechanical  engineers,  and 
tool  designers,  .\utomatic  calculating 
and  office  machines  will  handle  many 
business  procedures  and  mathematical 
problems.  This  will  increase  the  need 
for  mathematicians,  progrannners,  and 
operators. 

Shifting  to  niacliines  will  call  lor 
increased  power  and  the  sources  will 
come  from  hydroelectric  power  and 
atomic  and  solar  energy.  .Atomic  en- 
ergy will  also  produce  materials  useful 
in  medicine,  industry,  agriculture,  and 
research.  All  these  areas  will  need  spe- 
cialists to  develop  the  present  advances 
into  the  future  uses. 

It  is  in  the  laboratory  that  the  film 
shows  the  role  research  plays  "in  to- 
morrow's adventures  in  technology." 
Scientists  and  research  engineers  will 
be  in  great  demand  in  the  areas  al- 
ready presented  and  in  the  fast  de- 
veloping area  of  space   travel. 

Concluding  with  a  montage  of  for- 
mer scenes  and  views  of  future  cities, 
the  film  suggests  that  the  student 
should  begin  to  jjrepare  now  for  his 
role  in  the  age  of  scientific  ex|)lora- 
tion,  and  queries,  "What  role  will  the 
student  play  in  tliis  new  age?" 

A]>praisal 

Technology  and  You  offers  teachers 
in  the  intermediate  grades  and  junior 
high  level,  an  opportunity  to  show- 
pupils  the  achievements  of  modern 
technology  and  the  role  they  can  ])lay 
in  technology's  future.  This  film  gives 
pupils  "food  for  dreaming"  in  a  well- 
paced,  attractive  format  with  the 
scenes  flowing  smoothly  front  one  se- 
(juence  to  another.  The  technical 
fjuality  of  the  photography  and  sound 
is  excellent.  In  the  classroom  the  film 
could  provide  a  good  point  from 
which  to  begin  a  discussion  on  the 
job  opportunities  and  preparation  re- 
quired to  qualify  for  a  j)osition  in 
science  and  engineering.  In  addition 
to  classroom  use  it  could  serve  as  the 
center  of  an  assembly  program  at  the 
junior  high  level  to  help  increase  in- 
terest in  science  classes  and  encourage 
students  to  plan  on  enrolling  in  high 
siiiool  science  classes.

Alphabet  Conspiracy 

(Produced  for  Bell  System)  60  minutes, 
16mm,  sound,  color.  1959.  .\pply  to 
your  nearest  Bell  leleplione  System 
office  for  use.  A  teacher's  guide  and 
student's   guide   are   available. 


Description 

The  Alphabet  Conspiracy  discusses 
the  importance  of  language  to  all  peo- 
ples in  the  world  through  a  dramatiza- 
tion of  the  science  of  linguistics  and 
which  is  based  on  a  plot  to  destroy  the 
alphabet  by  the  Mad  Hatter  and  Jab- 
berwock  of  Alice  in  Wonderland. 

Dr.  Frank  Baxter  as  Dr.  Linguistits 
sets  the  scene  as  he  muses  about 
language  on  a  walk  down  a  neighbor- 
hood street  one  summer  evening  and 
liow  language  is  interwoven  with  the 
intimate  history  of  mankind.  He  in- 
vites the  viewer  to  visit  Judy,  a  12- 
year-old,  who  is  attempting  to  make 
sense  out  of  her  grammar  homework. 
Fatigued  by  her  efforts,  Judy  falls 
asleep  and  dreams  that  she  is  in  a 
strange  world  where  all  objects  such 
as  chairs  and  tables  are  much  bigger 
than    she    is. 

The  Mad  Hatter  and  Jabberwock 
make  their  appearance  as  the  Mad 
Hatter,  played  by  Hans  Conried,  ex- 
plains their  plot  to  murder  the  al- 
phabet. The  arrival  of  Dr.  Linguistics 
disrupts  the  conspiracy  and  the  letters 
which  have  been  dancing  around  in 
an  animated  sequence  scurry  away  to 
hide.  He  explains  that  alphabets  are 
the  basis  of  writing  for  all  of  the 
over  5,000  different  languages  which 
have  alphabets.  When  the  Mad  Hatter 
suggests  that  thev  do  away  with  the 
man  who  invented  the  alphabet,  Dr. 
Linguistics  laualiingly  informs  him 
that  mankind  has  used  an  alphabet 
for  over  5,000  years. 

Using  a  globe  and  an  animated  se- 
cjuence  of  spreading  branches  from  a 
tree  trunk  across  a  map.  Dr.  Linguis- 
tics explains  that  languages  began  be- 
fore civilization  and  once  started  grew 
and  changed  as  i>eople  spread  over 
the  earth.  He  illustrates  how  Latin 
was  changed  into  modern  Sardinian, 
Spanish  and  Portuguese,  Dalmatian 
and  Rumanian.  Catalan  and  French 
Provencal,  and  Rheto-Romance.  .An 
animated  scene  shows  a  child  saying 
"lather"  in  the  different  languages 
and  explains  that  the  various  words 
are  similar. 

Dr.  Linguistics  points  out  that  the 
babbling  of  babies  is  universal  but 
develops  into  a  speech  pattern  by  the 
sixth  year.  The  Mad  Hatter  is  jubilant 
because  this  seems  to  bear  out  his 
contention  that  the  alphabet  provides 
the  building  blocks  for  language.  Dr. 
Linguistics  corrects  him  by  saying  that 
sounds  are  the  basis  of  language  and 


348

that  linguistics  is  the  science  of  lan- 
guage sounds. 

An  animated  sequence  showing  how 
Von  Kepelin  invented  a  talking  ma- 
chine in  1780  illustrates  how  a  num- 
ber of  sounds  combine  to  make  lan- 
guage and  points  out  tliat  the  basic 
components  of  a  speech  sound  mech- 
anism include  the  lungs,  vocal  cords, 
mouth,  palate,  and  nasal  cavities.  Slow- 
motion  and  X-ray  photography  dem- 
onstrate how  all  of  these  mechanisms 
are  utilized  in  speech.  The  Mad  Hatter 
revises  his  previous  plan  to  destroy 
the  alphabet  and  now  concentrates  his 
attention  on  the  destruction  of  vowels 
and  consonants,  however.  Dr.  Linguis- 
tics warns  him  tliat  phonemes  are  the 
basic  sounds  of  language,  not  letters 
or  vowels.  Judy  does  not  know  what 
a  phoneme  is  and  Dr.  Linguistics  ex- 
plains how  they  are  made. 

The  Mad  Hatter  and  Jabberwock 
undertake  to  demonstrate  how  lan- 
guage is  not  needed  for  communica- 
tion at  all  by  doing  a  pantomine  of 
the  rhyme,  "one-two,  buckle  my  shoe." 
Dr.  Linguistics  agrees  that  there  are 
other  forms  of  communication  in  ad- 
dition to  verbal.  He  directs  them  to 
an  over-size  film  viewer  and  asks  them 
to  turn  the  two  cranks  to  operate  the 
machine  which  shows  several  instances 
of  such  communication  as  whistling 
s])eech  of  La  Gomera  in  the  Canary 
Islands,  African  drummers,  and  Sioux 
Indian  sign  language.  When  the  Mad 
Hatter  scoffs  at  the  thought  of  animal 
comipunication,  Dr.  Linguistics  re- 
directs his  attention  to  the  viewer 
where  a  sequence  demonstrates  the 
cry  of  the  crow,  the  warning  of  a 
squirrel,  and  the  dance  of  the  honey 
bee.  He  explains  that  the  animals' 
minds  work  almost  automatically  to 
sounds,  smells,  and  motions;  they  re- 
ceive messages  from  the  outside 
through  sense  organs  and  react  in- 
stinctively, but  these  phenomena  do 
not   constitute  a   true   language. 

.At  this  point,  Jabberwock  produces 
a  parrot  and  triumphantly  points  out 
that  this  bird  can  talk.  Through  the 
ensuing  conversation  it  is  explained 
that  some  animals  may  imitate  human 
speech  sounds  but  they  are  unable  to 
attach  the  appropriate  meanings  to 
these  sounds,  hence  they  can  not  truly 
speak  a  language.  He  points  out  that 
man  is  the  only  one  of  earth's  creatures 
which  has  true  speech  and  it  is  this 
which  distinguishes  man  from  beast. 
It  is  brought  out  that  the  arrangement 
of  words  in  a  sentence  is  just  as  im- 
portant to  meaning  as  tlie  individual 
words  themselves. 

Brief  views  of  the  Eskimo  in  his 
world  of  snow,  the  Trobrian  Islanders 
storing  yams,  and  the  Arabians  on 
camels  are  shown  and  it  is  explained 
that  the  vocabularies  of  languages  are 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  — July,    1959 


developed  from  the  vital  experiences 
of  people  everywhere  and  that  their 
language  give  clues  of  the  things 
which  are  most  significant  for  them. 
For  example,  he  points  out  that  the 
Hopi  language  seems  to  ignore  the 
passage  of  time  and  has  no  tenses. 

Pioneers  in  the  study  of  languages 
are  pictured,  including  Franz  Boas, 
Leonard  Bloomfield,  and  Edward 
Sapir  and  their  outstanding  contribu- 
tions  to   the   field  are   pointed  out. 

The  .Mad  Hatter  arranges  a  mad 
tea  party  for  Judy  and  Dr.  Linguistics. 
His  other  guests  include  a  jazz  mu- 
sician, an  advertising  press  agent,  and 
a  Montana  cowboy  each  talking  his 
own  "lingo."  The  purpose  of  the 
party  is  defeated,  however,  when  Dr. 
Linguistics  understands  them  all   per- 


fectly and  explains  that  each  of  the 
patterns  of  speech  could  be  called  a 
dialect,  not  a  language,  and  that 
dialects  and  occupational  vocabularies 
give  language  interest  and  color.  An 
animated  sequence  is  presented  in 
which  two  linguistic  detectives  ques- 
tion a  suspect  in  an  attempt  to  deter- 
mine his  place  of  origin.  .After  having 
the  suspect  pronounce  a  series  of 
words  they  are  able  to  do  this  ac- 
curately. Dr.  Hans  Kurath  then  dem- 
onstrates on  a  map  of  the  United 
States  the  dialect  regions  of  the  coun- 
try which  are  bounded  by  isoglosses 
and  he  explains  the  basis  of  such 
divisions.  Arrows  indicate  the  direc- 
tion of  flow  of  the  dialects  as  the  popu-

lations  moved  out  of  their  original 
regions. 

Impressed  with  the  progress  of 
linguistics  as  a  research  discipline,  the 
Mad  Hatter  wants  to  see  the  machines 
which  this  science  uses.  To  oblige  him. 
Dr.  Linguistics  explains  the  principles 
of  sound  in  the  phonograph,  tele- 
phone, radio,  and  motion  picture.  To 
demonstrate  how  an  optical  sound 
track  works,  an  animated  scene  pic- 
tures the  sound  track  as  it  moves  in 
from  the  side  of  the  film  and  discusses 
the  principles  involved  in  electronic 
.sound.  A  further  survey  of  the  "hard- 
ware" used  in  the  study  of  linguistics 
is  made  and  includes  the  sound  specto- 
graph,  the  automatic  digit  recognizer, 
the  voice  typewriter,  and  the  dicta- 
phone. 

Scenes  of  the  United  Nations  sym- 
bolize the  need  to  achieve  understand- 
ing through  language.  Dr.  Linguistics 
describes  the  role  of  tlie  United  Na- 
tions in  contributing  to  the  com- 
patibility and  understanding  among 
mankind. 

Still  not  convinced,  the  Mad  Hatter 
spreads  gunpowder  to  a  stack  of  books 
and  lights  the  powder.  At  the  same 
time.  Dr.  Linguistics  is  pointing  out 
that  it  is  language  which  made  Jab- 
berwock  and  him  immortal  and  that 
without  words  he  would  not  exist. 
Impressed  with  his  new  status  of  im- 
mortality, the  Hatter  and  Jabber  re- 
turn to  the  Alice  in  Wonderland  book 
but  permit  the  gunpowder  to  continue 
burning.  In  the  midst  of  the  resulting 
explosion,  Judy  awakens  from  her 
dream,  the  proportions  of  the  sur- 
roundings return  to  normality,  and 
Dr.  Baxter  enters  and  offers  to  help 
with  her  homework. 

Appraisal 

The  Alphabet  Conspiracy  is  directed 
toward  a  large  audience.  In  addition, 
it  has  definite  application  as  an  in- 
troductory film  in  the  study  of  lan- 
guage on  the  intermediate  and  junior 
high  level.  It  also  provides  a  general 
introduction  to  a  unit  on  sound  and 
its  relationship  to  communication  in 
elementary  school  science.  One  mem- 
ber of  the  evaluating  committee  sug- 
gested its  use  on  the  college  level  and 
stated  that,  "It  makes  a  great  deal 
about  language  conscious  to  one  for 
the  first  time— at  least  to  one  who  has 
never  troubled  himself  with  language 
except  as  he  saw  it  handled  in  the 
traditional  classroom."  Several  other 
members  of  the  committee  felt  that 
the  entertainment  technique  used  to 
present  the  material  in  the  film  detracts 
trom  its  overall  effectiveness  for  adults, 
however,  they  recognize  the  added  ap- 


peal this  element  provides  for  the 
younger  classroom  ;ui(lience.  The  fact 
(hat  llie  film  is  logically  divided  into 
two  thirty-minute  presentations  in- 
creases its  usefulness  for  the  school  asi 
a  convocation  or  classroom  film.

The  House  Fly 

(Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films,  Wil- 
mette,  Illinois),  17  minutes,  16mm, 
sound,  color,  1958.  $180.  Teacher's 
guide  available.  Second  Edition. 

De.s<:ription 

The  House  Fly  deals  with  the  repro- 
ductive cycle,  structural  characteristics, 
feeding  habits,  and  methods  of  control 
of  the  house  fly.  This  film  portrays  in 
startling  realism  the  potential  dangers 
of  the  house  fly  in  spreading  disease 
and  death  to  man  and  animals,  and 
prescribes  some  methods  of  control  of 
the  house  fly  menace. 

The  House  Fly  opens  with  a  model 
of  the  earth  spinning  in  space  as  flies 
light  and  crawl  aimlessly  across  its 
surface.  The  narrator  introduces  mnsca 
domeslica,  the  house  fly,  which  has  no 
bite  or  sting  but  which  is  a  carrier 
of  typhoid  fever,  diptheria,  tubercu- 
losis, leprosy,  cholera,  hookworm, 
diarrhea,  anthrax,  gangrene,  and  nu- 
merous other  diseases  which  bring 
death  to  mankind. 

Since  the  fly  is  a  ceaseless  explorer 
of  his  environment,  a  typical  sequence 
of  his  stops  along  a  twenty-mile  jour- 
ney is  shown,  including  a  spotless 
kitchen  where  food  is  being  prepared, 
a  filthy  alley,  an  outdoor  privy,  a  de- 
caying carcass  of  a  cat,  a  dump,  and 
then  to  baby's  birthday  cake  as  baby 
playfully  slaps  at  the  flies  while  she 
eats.  The  next  scene  shows  baby  in  her 
crib,  crying  because  of  a  sickness  left 
by  the  flies  as  they  stopped  along  the 
way. 

In  the  film  it  is  pointed  out  that 
the  feeding  habits  and  the  structural 
characteristics  of  the  fly  make  it  a 
dangerous  carrier  of  disease  germs.  A 
close-up  of  the  house  fly  is  shown  and 
its  structure  is  studied.  The  fly  is  de- 
scribed as  a  true  insect,  a  diptera, 
whose  body  is  covered  with  bristle-like 
hairs  which  catch  up  the  filth  on  which 
it  feeds  and  transports  it  to  the  next 
stopping  place.  Its  body  is  shown  in 
extreme  close-up  and  the  body  parts 
are  identified:  the  head,  thorax,  and 
abdomen.  The  compound  eyes  and 
three  ocelli,  the  antennae,  and  pro- 
boscis are  pictured  in  natural  photog- 
raphy and  their  functions  illustrated. 
Following  the  fly  as  it  feeds  alternately 
on  filth,  an  open  picnic  lunch,  and 
some  discarded  fish  heads,  the  camera 
shows  the  feet  and  legs  of  the  fly  from 
underneath  and  explains  the  structure

urfaces  in  its  excessive  explorations. 
Next  the  lly  is  seen  walking  about  on 

fisli  dinner  as  it  is  being  jirepared. 
V  similar  walk  across  a  ])rep;ired  cul- 
ure  dish  reveals  that  the  Hy's  feet  are 
overed  with  germs  that  grow  in  food 
m  which  il  has  trespassed. 

An  animated  diagram  is  used  to 
llustrate  the  process  of  feeding  and 
ligestion  in  house  flies.  The  digestive 
ystem  extends  through  the  thorax 
nul  abdomen,  and  with  animated  dia- 
ranis  the  process  of  softening  food 
iy  salivation  and  regurgitation  of 
)artly  digested  food  from  the  crop  is 
)uilined.  .After  the  fly  sucks  up  the 
lewly  acquired  food  into  its  crop 
vhere  it  will  be  passed  to  the  stomach 
or  digestion  and  elimination  to  make 
ly  specks,  the  lly  moves  on  to  a  sui^- 
iae  whicii  a  man   is  eating. 

1  he  reproductive  cycle  of  the  house 
ly  begins  with  eggs  whicIi  are  laid 
n  an  unkept  garbage  pail  or  manure 
oile.  The  female  lly  is  pictured  as  she 
.■xtends  her  ovipositor  and  lays  from 
100  to  IJO  small  eggs  in  a  warm  germ- 
aden  place.  The  eggs  hatch  into  mag- 
gots in  eight  to  twenty-four  hours  in 
Harm  weather.  Then  they  develop 
through  three  instars  as  they  slither 
md  slide  and  molt  until  they  reach 
full    growth    of   about    a    half-inch    in 


length.  The  slow  -  motion  camera 
catches  the  locomotion  of  the  maggot 
in  extreme  close-up  and  with  time- 
lapse  photography  the  larva  is  shown 
as  it  develops  into  the  pupal  stage. 

After  five  days  in  warm  weather  the 
lly  uses  its  expander  to  escape  from 
the  pupal  case  and  is  portrayed  in 
live  photography  as  it  struggles  up- 
ward through  debris  using  its  expander 
and  legs  to  emerge  to  the  surface  of 
the  eartli  to  harden  into  an  adult  fly. 

.\  midlitude  of  new  generation  flies 
l)u/z  about,  infecting  animals  in  a 
dairv  barn  and  journeying  about  the 
neighborhood.  A  series  of  short  scenes 
contrast  the  ineffective  methods  of  fly 
control  with  rapid  breeding  rate  by 
alternately  cutting  from  a  scene  of  a 
swarm  of  newly  bred  flies  to  a  house- 
wife with  a  fly  swatter,  from  a  breed- 
ing barrel  of  maggots  to  a  spider 
capturing  one  fly  in  his  web,  from  a 
hand  bomb  of  insecticide  to  a  house- 
wife at  a  sanitary  garbage  disposal  pail 
where  the  narrator  points  out  that 
|)ersonal  sanitation  is  a  more  effective 
method  of  fly  control. 

The  personal  sanitation  of  a  neigh- 
borhood is  compared  with  unsanitary 
conditions  of  a  nearby  locality  in 
scenes  of  an  unkept  yard  in  a  slum, 
a  dairy  barn,  and  a  roadside  dump. 
The  House  Fly  points  out  that  com- 
munity group  efforts  in  sanitation  are 


necessary  in  controlling  the  reproduc- 
tion of  house  flies  through  burial,  in- 
cineration, and  chemical  treatment  of 
garbage  and  sewage.  It  illustrates  the 
benefits  of  proper  sanitation  as  it 
portrays  healthy  people  enjoying  the 
recreation  areas  and  fishing  streams. 

Appraisal 

This  film  is  of  exceptional  quality 
—  technically  and  structurally.  It  gets 
its  message  across  with  startling  real- 
ism which  should  shock  the  audience 
into  the  recognition  of  the  house  fly  as 
a  serious  health  menace  and  a  danger- 
ous enemy  rather  than  just  a  house- 
hold pest.  Some  of  its  scenes  may  jolt 
the  audience  as  no  attempt  to  soften 
the  message  of  the  film  has  been  made 
by  the  producer. 

Teachers  in  the  upper  elementary 
through  high  school  grades  should 
find  this  film  useful  in  teacliing  sani- 
tation. The  treatment  of  the  structural 
characteristics  of  the  fly  is  detailed 
enough  to  make  this  film  a  welcome 
tool  for  showing  the  body  character- 
istics and  functions  in  this  insect  in 
upper  level  classes.  Adult  groups 
should  respond  to  this  message  on 
sanitation  and  understand  why  sani- 
tation is  important  and  requires  dili- 
gent  consideration.

AUDIO 


by  Max  U.  Bildersee 


It  should  be  an  exciting  year  — 
audiowise  —  coining  up  just  ahead  of 
us.  There  are  several  stimulating  new 
projects  on  the  horizon  —  and  they 
should  make  the  audio  of  audiovisual 
even  more  important  in  the  school 
program. 

The  big  jimip,  of  course,  will  be  in 
the  foreign  language  field.  We  antic- 
ipate at  least  one  new  series  of 
recordings  in  elementary  school  lan- 
guages. The  demand  for  a  continuous 
sequence  for  instruction  in  grades 
four  through  six  is  going  to  be  met 
...   if  the  rumors  we  hear  are  cor-

rect.  It  is  our  understanding  that  with- 
in the  forthcoming  twelvemonth  there 
will  be  recordings,  teaching  instruc- 
tions and  manuals,  and  amply  illus- 
trated workbooks  in  at  least  Frentli 
and  Spanish.  Ihese  recordings  will  be 
prepared  with  the  teacher  in  mind, 
they  will  be  done  by  linguists,  and 
they  will  be  intended  for  both  teacher 
and  student  to  progress  together. 

Lest  we  be  accused  of  forgetting 
the  importance  of  the  instructor  —  and 
no  instructional  medium  has  yet  been 
found  which  minJinizes  the  importance 
of  good  classroom  instruction  —  we 
hasten  to  state  that  these  materials  will 
be  a  stop-gap  (but  a  highly  useful 
one)  pending  the  training  of  elemen- 
tary teachers  in  foreign  language 
skills  —  or  the  training  of  language 
teachers  in  the  area  of  elementary  edu- 
cation. 

But  —  the  materials  are  in  the  plan- 
ning stages  now  and  production  can 
l)e  begun  shortly.  The  objective  of  the 
instruction  will  be  the  development 
of  facility  in  connnunication  in  the 
loreign  tongue.  Through  listening, 
hearing  and  speaking  the  language  in 
a  scries  of  progressively  more  difhcult 
and  comple.\  exercises  (from  words  to 
phrases  to  sentences)  it  is  anticipated 
lliat  tlie  arts  of  connnunication  —  oral 
connnunication  —  can  be  p  a  r  t  i  a  1  1  y 
mastered. 

Secondary  school  language  labora- 
tory enthusiasts  will  be  delighted  to 
know  that,  shortly,  new  recordings  for 
botli  dictation  and  comprehension 
practice  will  be  available.    These  will

be  taped  recordings  and  the  material 
will  be  taken  largely  from  standardi/r( 
tests  for  second  and  third  year  siu 
dents.  The  recordings  will  be  accom 
panied  by  simple  printed  or  niimeo 
graphed  material  so  that,  in  effect, 
self-examination  device  for  student 
is  under  development.  Whether  yoi 
are  using  a  simple  or  complex  Ian 
guage  laboratory,  these  recording 
promise   to   be  useful. 

.And  the  schcjol  (or  student)  willtou 
such  facility  will  be  able  to  use  thi 
material  if  only  a  tape-player  (3.7£ 
ips)  is  available.  This  should  be  use 
ful  for  encouraging  the  adept  studeni 
to  progress  at  his  own  rate  of  learn 
ing,  even  to  the  point  of  accom])lish 
ing  three  years'  work  in  two. 

This  represents  an  opportunity  tc 
individuali/c  instruction  for  the  lirighi 
student  as  well  as  for  the  slow  learn 
er;  to  help  the  'absent'  child  make  up 
lost  work:  and  to  give  all  students  the 
opportunity  to  hear  a  variety  of  voices, 
both  male  and  female,  to  know  the 
intonations  of  the  language  being 
studied  and  to  practice  the  art  ol 
listening. 

The  annual  Connecticut  .Audio- 
Visual  Education  As.sociation  meSting 
a  few  weeks  ago  was  devoted  to  dis- 
cussions of  THE  L.ANGU.AGE  L.\B- 
OR.ATORY.  This  meeting  was  spon- 
sored jointly  by  the  association  and 
the  State  .Advisory  Committee  on  For- 
eign Language  Instruction. 

From  all  corners  of  the  State  sev- 
eral hundred  audiovisual  and  language

Peyre,  Chairman  of  the  Department 
of  Romance  Languages  at  Vale  and 
President  of  the  .American  .Association 
of  Teachers  of  French.  Dr.  Peyre  re-

college  students  are  a  challenge  be- 
cause their  early  training  in  the  schools 
around  the  country  has  made  them  in-

regards,  ideal  scholars.  He  believes 
that  modern  language  instruction  is 
destined  to  make  our  students  and 
our  people  better  understood  through- 
out the  world.  He  reports  that  lan- 
guage students  at  Yale  are  better 
)rcpared  than  their  fathers  a  genera- 
tion ago  —  and  he  calls  for  additional 
challenge  and  constant  upgrading  of 
material  and  difficulty,  constant  speed- 
up so  that  the  capable  student  will 
have  still  more  opportunity  to  learn. 
Other  speakers  on  the  program  in- 
cluded Don  lodice  who  discussed  "'I'he 
Fully  Equipped  Listen-Respond-Rec- 
ord  Laboratory"  and  indicated  that 
complete  equipment  was  essential  to 
successful  foreign  language  instruction. 
Mr.  Rodcric  Beaulieu  (Conrad  High 
School,  \V'est  Hartford)  described  the 
secminglv  endless  activities  which  take 
place  in  the  language  laboratory  of 
the  high  school  and  Mrs.  Grace  Craw- 
ford of  the  K.  O.  Smith  High  .School 
at  Storrs  related  her  experiences  in  de- 
veloping a  modified  language  labora- 
tory —  literallv  from  the  first  tape  re- 
corder up!  Mrs.  Crawford  emphasized 
that  the  machine  merely  supplements 
the  work  of  the  imaginative  teacher 
and  that  with  a  minimum  of  equip- 
ment a  maximum  of  experiences  can 
be  offered. 

She  described  her  work  in  adding 
individual  listening  stations  to  a  sin- 
gle tape  record  reproducer  (head- 
phones on  a  distribution  system)  and 
slowly  expanding  her  application  of 
this  equipment  in  language  instruc- 
tion. Mrs.  Crawford  expressed  the 
opinion  that  a  multiplicity  of  equip- 
ment was  not  nearly  as  important  as 
a  good  teacher  (an  opinion  which  we 
heartily  endorse)  and  that  a  variety  of 
equipment  may  make  a  good  teacher 
even  more  effective  if  the  personal 
touch  is  not  overlfjoked.  In  any  event, 
the  teacher  should  not  be  the  techni- 
cian nor  should  the  technician  be  per- 
mitted to  dictate  the  path  that  studies 
should   take.  j^ 

Looking  ahead,  we  are  anticipating 
the  release  of  a  new  series  of  poetry 
recordings  by  a  large  eastern  univer- 
sity. We  are  told  that  sessions  will  be 
begun  shortly  to  record  contemporary 
poets  reading  their  own  works.  The 
legacy  of  modern  literature  will  not 
only  be  preserved  for  the  future  but 
will  be  available  for  the  present. 

Upper  elementary  school  and  junior 
high  school  social  studies  classes  will 
profit,  too,  from  planned  releases.  EN- 
RICH.MEN  1  M.AIERl.ALS  is  hard  at 
work  on  four  new  and  exciting  re- 
leases in  the  Documents  of  Historv 
series  and  four  new  adaptations  ol 
Landmark  books. 

Shakespeare  will  be  with  us.  too,  for 
at    least    another   year.    We   are    daily 


waiting  word  of  the  release  of  new 
full-lengtli  (unabridged)  recordings  of 
"King  Lear,"  "The  Tempest,"  "A 
Midsummer  Night's  Dream,"  and 
"King  Henry  V."  We  heard  recently 
that  there  is  planning  afoot  to  offer 
a  course  in  SH.AKESPE.ARE:  PLAYS 
.\ND  SONNETS  without  a  textbook 
.  .  .  but  using  recordings  as  the  basis 
ol   instruction. 

Such  are  the  advance  notices  on 
what  we  expect  next  year,  and  this 
of  course  is  only  a  beginning. 

Kindergarten  and  primary  grade 
children  will  enjoy  and  profit  from 
hearing  "ONCE  UPON  A  TIME" 
(.Audio  Education  LL-2;  55  Fifth  Ave- 
nue, New  York  3)  which  contains  four 


favorite  children's  stories.  These  are 
"The  Three  Little  Pigs,"  "The  Old 
Woman  and  Her  Pig,"  "The  Golden 
Goose,"  and  "Tattercoats."  These 
stories  are  delightfully,  yet  simply  por- 
trayed and  each  is  accompanied  by  a 
special  musical  environment  designed 
to  heighten  the  listening  experience. 
Each  story  is  introduced  by  a  simple 
yet  appealing  song  which  children  can 
readily  learn  and  repeat. 

These  stories  are  designed  with  a 
listening  vocabulary  range  suitable  to 
the  intended  audience  and  conse- 
quently may  be  used  for  pleasure  lis- 
tening, for  word  study  in  the  language 
arts  program,  for  inspiration  for 
visual  presentation,  for  dramatic  re- 
creation and  for  a  variety  of  other 
purposes  in  the  appropriate  grades.

Bex  599E  Suffern,  New  York 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


Without  in  the  lea.st  wishing  to  seem 
facetious,  may  we  ask  you  to  consider 
for  a  moment  or  two  that  oft-quoted 
saying  "There  is  no  accounting  for 
taste."  The  more  you  think  about  it, 
there  is  a  lot  of  merit  in  those  words 
for  anyone  who  may  be  concerned  with 
the  selection  of  instructional  materi- 
als for  classroom  use.  It  is  because 
there  are  so  many  different  individuals 
(each  with  very  different  ideas  and 
tastes)  in  any  one  class  that  we  ought 
to  try  and  secure  materials  of  all  types 
in  order  to  appeal  to  and  stir  the 
interest  of  these  differing  points  of 
view.  It  has  always  seemed  rather  sad 
to  us  for  a  teacher  to  be  afraid  to  use 
material  which  is  not  strictly  "curric- 
ulum-coordinated"; it  is  also  sad  when 
a  teacher  says  that  she  used  certain 
material  last  year  and  does  not  wish 
to  use  it  this  year  (Shades  of  some- 
thing or  other,  this  year's  pupils  are 
a  new  group  —  they  may  need  to  see 
this  particular  material!  A  remark 
such  as  this  merely  means  the  teacher 
herself  does  not  want  to  see  the  mate- 
rial again);  it  is  equally  sad  to  select 
material  solely  for  the  reason  that 
teachers  think  it  is  something  the 
pupils  ought  to  like  (pupils  are  a  cap- 
tive audience  and  will  have  to  look 
at  the  material,  but  this  does  not 
mean  that  they  will  like  looking  at 
it,  nor  does  it  necessarily  mean  that 
they  will  retain  and  remember  as  a 
result  of  just  focusing  their  eyes  on 
the  screen). 

All  of  which  adds  up  to  the  fact  that 
we  are  trying  to  make  a  plea  for 
diversity  of  types  of  materials  for  any 
learning  situation.  Materials  that  sim- 
ply glow  with  "pupil  appeal";  mate- 
rials that  are  academically  .packed  with 
subject  content;  materials  that  present 
a  subject  from  a  slightly  different  point 
of  view;  materials  that  deal  with  just 
one  phase  of  a  topic  as  well  as  those 
that  give  an  over-all  general  treatment. 
You  can  never  tell  when  something 
you  yourself  did  not  find  exactly  the 
most  appealing  treatment  will  be  the 
very  one  to  ignite  a  perfect  fire  of  en- 
thusiasm in  the  mind  of  a  boy  or 
girl! 

Our  Outdoor  Friends 

(color,  6  strips;  Curriculum  Mate- 
rials Corp.,  10031  Commerce  Ave., 
Tujunga,  California:  .?3.95  per  strip). 
Photographs  of  birds  and   animals   in 


their  natural  habitat  show  us  sonic- 
thing  of  hawks,  owls,  the  gnawing 
animals  and  many  common  birds.  The 
photography  is  the  work  of  an  out- 
standing Canadian  naturalist  and  is 
excellent!  A  supervi-sor  of  audiovisual 
materials  for  one  of  the  Canadian 
provinces  took  me  at  my  word  when 
I  said  I  wanted  to  begin  securing 
pupil-reactions  to  the  filmstrips  re- 
viewed here,  and  he  sent  me  some  of 
the  comments  from  a  class  which  had 
used  this  series.  I  particularly  liked 
the  following  as  indicative  of  what 
goes  on  in  a  pupil's  mind  when  they 
see  filmstrips:  "I  liked  the  films  be- 
cause I  have  always  wanted  to  see 
what  a  bird's  nest  was  like  inside.  And 
I  liked  to  see  the  birds  up  close  be- 
cause whenever  1  see  a  bird  I  never 
know  which  is  which.  The  bird's 
colors  were  very  beautiful."  "This  film- 
strip  also  showed  the  beauty  of  nature 
and  the  nests  built  by  different  birds. 
Birds  also  use  camouflage.  Some  birds 
build  nests  so  they  are  comfortable, 
others  not  so  comfortable  and  some 
build  no  nests  at  all.  The  yellow 
warbler  has  a  deep  nest  which  is  com- 
fortable." (Evidently  this  pupil  be- 
lieves in  comfort.)  "One  part  of  the 
film  that  I  liked  best  was  where  one 
bird  was  held  in  a  man's  hand.  That's 
where  I  really  found  out  that  birds 
are  tame  enough  to  be  held."  The 
prize  reaction,  to  me,  for  using  a 
filmstrip  is  revealed  by  the  next  pupil's 
remarks  —  "We  would  not  have  learned 
as  much  if  someone  had  told  us." 
(Isn't  that  reason  for  using  visual 
materials!)  The  next  remark  to  us  is 
highly  significant,  in  terms  of  what  we 
said  in  our  introduction:  "In  my  way 
of  thinking  it  was  a  nice  film  if  you 
like  birds  but  I  am  not  so  interested 
as  to  enjoy  them.  The  only  birds  I 
like  are  mainly  carnivorous.  I  would 
like  to  see  birds  in  action,  too." 

As  we  have  often  said,  the  reason 
we  use  instructional  materials  is  to 
rouse  pupil  interest.  Evidently  this 
set  of  filmstrips  did  just  that,  and  we 
are  happy  to  have  been  able  to  re- 
port this  from  a   pupil-point  of  view.

356 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  — July,   1959 


jp  nuntal  images  of  totally  unknown 
places  for  they  are  names  which  refer 
to  places  on  which  our  attention  is 
aftcn  focused  these  days.  All  too  few 
Df  us,  however,  have  actually  visited 
these  places  and  filmstrips  such  as 
hese  help  us  to  take  such  visits.  We 
see  fishing  villages,  farms,  temples  and 
homes  as  well  as  urban  centers.  We  are 
jiven  considerable  information  about 
the  people  and  their  daily  activities 
and  work.  Three  of  the  strips  deal  with 
Japanese  life  — work  of  farmers,  fish- 
ermen and  manufacturers;  one  strip 
deals  with  the  rivers  and  ricelands  of 
Thailand;  one  strip  focuses  on  that 
bustling  city  Hong  Kong.  Concentra- 
tion of  interest  is  on  the  people,  and 
the  facts  presented  are  interesting. 
This  is  good  geography  and  good  so- 
cial history,  too. 

Abraham  Lincoln's  Life 
Through  Postage  Stamps 

(single  strip,  color  and  record;  pro- 
duced by  H-R  Productions,  Inc.,  17 
East  45  St.,  New  York  17,  N.Y.;  $11 
complete  unit.)  It  is  always  good  to 
report  about  something  new  and  this 
unit  intrigued  us  greatly!  The  story, 
of  course,  is  that  of  the  life  of  the 
Great  Emancipator  from  the  days  of 
his  youth  through  to  the  period  of 
his  political  career,  governmental  ac- 
tivities and  death.  What  makes  this 
presentation  unique  is  the  fact  that 
the  story  unfolds  through  the  medium 
of  postage  stamps,  all  of  which  were 
made  especially  to  honor  and  com- 
memorate the  man  and  his  lifework. 
The  accompanying  record  narrates  the 
the  story  in  an  entertaining  way  and 
in  good  tonal  quality.  Stamp  collect- 
ing has  always  been  a  fascinating  hob- 
by for  many  and  it  is  our  guess  that 
the  technique  of  telling  an  entire 
story  by  means  of  stamps  will  have 
great  pupil  appeal.  The  stamps  are 
well  reproduced  and  all  details  are 
clear.  It  is  a  unit  with  many  possi- 
bilities for  classroom  use. 


Basic  Primary  Science  — 
Group  I 

(color,  6  strips;  Society  for  Visual 
Education,  1345  Diversey  Parkway, 
Chicago  14,  111.;  $24.30  per  set,  $4.50 
single  strips.)  Young  scientists  of 
grades  one  and  two  have  just  as  great 
a  need  for  information  as  do  older 
class  members.  This  series  is  especially 
prepared  to  meet  their  questions  about 
plants,  animals,  people;  what  makes 
light  penetrate  through  some  sub- 
stances and  not  through  others;  why 
some  things  float  and  others  sink; 
what  gives  us  light  and  heat  and  what 


makes  seasonal  changes  in  tempera- 
ture. The  answers  are  here  for  the 
perennial  questions,  and  the  explana- 
tions are  given  in  simple  terms  that 
will  be  easy  to  understand.  The  art 
work  is  clear  and  the  set  is  good  for 
age  group  needs. 


Modern  Art — 

Henri  Matisse,  Part  II 

(single  strip,  color;  produced  by  Life 
Filmstrips,  9  Rockefeller  Plaza,  New 
York  20,  N.Y.)  To  understand  an 
artist  and  his  role  in  the  world  of  art 
one  must  of  course  be  familiar  with  his 
work.  It  is  virtually  impossible  to  find 
the  works  of  any  artist  collected  in  any 
one  place  or  museum.  A  filmstrip  such 
as  this  can,  therefore,  serve  to  bring 
together  examples  of  periods  and 
styles,  so  that  the  viewer  can  gain  some 
comprehension  of  the  scope  encom- 
passed in  the  artist's  lifetime.  In  this 
instance  the  artist  is  Henri  Matisse, 
and  we  are  shown  many  of  his  paint- 
ings; we  also  see  some  of  his  designs 
for  the  Vence  Chapel  and  the  murals 
he  painted  on  tile.  In  each  instance, 
close-up  details  are  provided  and  the 
material  is  indeed  a  substitute  for 
trips  to  many  galleries. 


The  Story  of  the  Universe 
-  Unit  I 

(color,  6  strips;  produced  by  Films 
for  Education,  Audio  -  Lane,  New 
Haven,  Conn.,  $36  per  unit,  $7.50  per 
single  strip.)  Called  an  "Introduction 
to  Modern  .Astronomy  and  the  Age 
of  Space,"  this  series  gives  us  a  wealth 
of  information  about  the  earth,  its 
size  and  shape  and  motion;  the  earth 
as  a  planet;  exploring  space  around 
the  earth;  and  the  moon.  Units  still 
to  be  produced  will  deal  with  the 
solar  system,  the  stars  and  the  universe. 
A  very  able  production  staff  has  con- 
tributed to  the  making  of  the  series 
and  it  is  a  truly  valuable  source  of 
scientific  data  presented  in  a  way  cal- 
culated to  appeal  to  the  student.  No 
one  today  can  afford  to  be  ignorant 
of  the  many  basic  facts  presented  here 
and  the  series  is  one  of  those  really 
deserving  the  designation  "resource 
material."  The  color  quality  and  art 
work  are  excellent  and  the  scientific 
data  is  authentic  and  carefully  selected. 
The  series  was  a  blue  ribbon  winner 
in  the  recent  film  and  filmstrip  festi- 
val, and  the  award  was  justly  earned. 
The  strips  are  of  course  to  be  recom- 
mended for  classroom  work,  biu  they 
should  also  lie  very  good  for  astronomy 
clubs  and  for  scout  or  special  science 
interest  clubs.

AV  IN  THE  CHURCH  FIELD 


hy  William  S.  Hockman 


Green  Lake  Workshop 

These  three  words  have  become  a 
symbol  for  interdenominational  co- 
operation in  the  audiovisual  field. 
They  connote  more  —  the  interna- 
tional reach  of  the  movement.  In 
time  they  may  come  to  mean  depth 
and  problem  penetration.  The  theme 
for  this  year  suggests  this  direction: 
"Improving  Christian  Communica- 
tion." 

The  key-note  address,  "Communicat- 
ing the  Gospel  to  All  the  World," 
should  give  Rev.  A.  Dale  Friers  both 
the  opportunity  for  scope  and  depth. 
For  the  morning  assembly  dialogues 
Dr.  D.  Campbell  Wycoff  of  Princeton 
Theological  Seminary  and  Rev.  Wil- 
liam F.  Fore  of  the  Methodist  Board 
of  Missions  will  discuss  the  implica- 
tions of  theology  for  visual  communi- 
cation and  the  implications  of  visual 
communication  for  theological  specu- 
lation —  we  hope! 

Fourteen  laboratory  sub-groups  will 
take  up  specific  problems  related  to 
the  general  theme.  Seven  of  these  are 
designed  for  persons  having  interna- 
tional and  national  interests  and  re- 
sponsibilities. The  subjects  are:  The 
Production  of  Audio-Visuals;  The  Dis- 
tribution of  Audio-Visuals;  Curricu- 
lum Correlation  of  Audio-Visuals; 
Audio-Visual  Aids  in  Evangelism  Ef- 
forts; Audio-Visuals  in  Leadership 
Education;  and,  Audio-Visuals  in  the 
Church  Overseas. 

Seven  other  groups  are  designed 
for  staff  and  volunteer  personnel  of 
sub-national  and  denominational  units, 
plus  leaders  in  state,  county,  local 
council  of  churches,  and  local  churches. 
This  set  of  'workshops'  will  seek  an- 
swers in  these  areas:  Meeting  Specific 
Needs  with  Self-Produced  A-Vs;  Set- 
ting Up  and  Maintaining  an  Effective 
A-V  Library;  Helping  Local  Churches 
Integrate  A-Vs  Into  Curriculum  and 
Program;  Improving  Evangelism  Ef- 
forts with  A-Vs;  Improving  Leader- 
ship Education  with  A-Vs;  Improving 
Missionary  Education  with  .^-Vs;  and. 
Designing  a  Comprehensive  A-V  Pro- 
gram for  Our  Constituencies. 

All  this  in  the  morning,  with  the 
afternoons  unstructured.  This  leaves 
opportunity  for  denominational  meet- 
ings, for  informal  conversations,  and 
private  screenings  of  materials  from 
the  world's  largest  single  librarv  of 
new  and  current  church-related  films, 
filmstrips,  recordings,  and  tapes.  Let  it 


be  hoped  that  each  afternoon  som< 
group  will  carry  forward  constructive 
exploration  in  the  area  of  standard: 
for  filmstrips,  slides,  and  recordings. 

The  registration  is  waived  for  mini 
sterial  students  and  others  pursuing 
religious  education  degrees  in  ac 
credited  institutions,  and  we  doubt  il 
any  theologian  could  invest  one  week 
of  his  time  to  greater  long-range  bene 
fit  to  himself  and  the  church  he  serves 
than  to  come  to  Green  Lake  Septem- 
ber 6-11,  1959. 


Notes  on  Films 

If  you  measure  the  11-minute  Cor- 
onet film.  Are  You  Popular?  new  ver- 
sion, by  the  produeer's  stated  pur- 
pose, "To  present  teen-agers  with  a 
helpful  guide  to  popularity  and  to 
motivate  discussion  of  common  social 
and  personal  problems,"  it  would  rate 
'highly  useful.'  While  showing  a  few 
things  boys  and  girls  should  avoid, 
it  keeps  to  the  positive.  We  see  an 
attractive  couple  doing  the  right 
things.  Of  course,  the  off-beat,  vacuum- 
headed  youth  present  in  most  groups 
will  think  some  of  this  too  'square'  for 
him,  and,  indeed,  it  will  be  for  him. 
It  will  fit  most  young  people  to  a  T. 
The  pity  is  that  the  parents  of  grow- 
ing young  people  will  not  get  to  see 
it  as  often  as  they  should.  Imagine 
substituting  a  film  like  this  for  the 
'Bible  lesson'  on  a  Sunday  morning! 
Yet,  here  and  there  it  will  be  shown 
to  adults  in  the  morning  and  to  yoimg 
people  at  fellowship  meetings  in  the 
evening.  Good  and  useful  and  highly 
recommended. 

Two  new  titles  for  you  to  be  think- 
ing of  as  you  set  up  your  fall  program 
are:  Nexv  Faces  of  Africa  and  None 
Goes  His  Way  Alone.  We  had  hoped 
to  be  able  to  preview  them  in  this 
issue.  Now  it  will  be  September  (this 
Department  vacationing  in  August). 
The  first  is  being  produced  by  the 
Broadcasting  and  Film  Commission  of 
the  NCC  for  the  purpose  of  giving 
visual  background  to  the  overseas 
study  theme  for  this  coming  year.  It 
will  vividlv  document  the  transition 
which  is  progressing  so  rapidly  in 
.Vfrica,  and  point-up  the  responsibility 
and  opportunity  of  the  church.  The 
second  deals  with  the  rural  church, 
once  the  center  of  life  for  many  peo- 
ple, and  what  has  happened   to   both

jf  tiR-ni.  It  was  produced  by  the 
Vfctliodist  C:hurth  (TRAFCO).  A  sec- 
Diul  film  on  the  "home'  ihenie  is  The 
Han'Cit.  It  portrays  the  problems  a 
rural  minister  faces  in  these  times.  All 
ire  30  minutes,  and  the  first  two  may 
ie  had  in  color.  Book  through  your 
local  rental  library. 

We  will  give  you  three  guesses  as 
to  who  wrote  this:  "You  can't  let 
jther  people  think  for  you;  you  have 
;o  think  for  yourself.  Otherwise,  you 
night  just  as  well  be  in  prison." 
■Vnswer:  \  typical,  mid-Western  teen- 
ige  girl  whose  story  is  told  in  the 
28-miiuitc,  B&W,  film  available  from 
:he  .\nti-Defamation  League  (515 
Madison  Ave.,  N.  Y.  22)  and  excellent 
for  use  in  conferences,  youth  fellow- 
ships, and  in  youth-parent  'nights'  and 
programs  in  and  out  of  the  church. 
Here  is  an  excellent  film  to  suggest 
to  the  clubs  of  your  High  school,  and 
also  to  the  service  clubs  of  your  com- 
munity. Here  is  a  portrait  of  integrity 
to  inspire  both  vouth  and  adults. 

Pictures  Can  Help 

.\fter  getting  off  to  a  slow  start,  the 
19-ininute  Eastman  Kodak  motion  pic- 
ture. Pictures  Teach  At  Penfield,  shows 
us  how  films  and  pupil-made  snapshots 


can  be  integrated  into  the  program 
of  education  of  a  typical  up-to-date 
school.  Church  leaders  can  learn  from 
this  film,  and  will  learn  if  we  will 
show  it  to  them  and  talk  out  some  of 
the  implications.  One  weakness  of  the 
film  is  that  we  do  not  see  more  of  the 
actual  instructional  process  itself,  but 
you  can't  put  everything  in  one  film 
and  this  does  show  nicely  a  number 
of  important  facets  to  the  program- 
ming of  pictures  in  education. 

From  the  Grass  Roots 

Some  one  in  Mrs.  J.  R.  P.'s  denomi- 
nation ought  to  ponder  this  one:  She 
is  ready  to  use  visual  materials  but 
can't.  Her  minister  is  not  convinced 
of  their  value,  and  the  S.S.  superin- 
teiKJcnt  just  won't  let  teachers  waste 
their  time  with  the  "stuff."  The  AV 
materials  nominated  in  the  curriculum 
outlines  won't  get  very  far  in  that 
church.  Is  this  a  typical  or  atypical 
situation?   It's  bad   either  way! 

Listen  to  this:  "We  got  a  movie 
machine.  The  school  principal  picked 
it  out  for  us.  He  said  it  was  the  best. 
The  trouble  is  that  it  is  very  heavy, 
and  even  our  hefty  High  School  boys 
can  hardly  carry  it.  The  custodian 
has    refused    to.    Now    it's    up    to    us 


teachers.  .Are  all  machines  that  heavy, 
.Mr.    Hocknian?    What    can    we    do? 
■  Well,    I'd    be    pleased    to    have    a    2- 
paragraph  reply  for  her! 

From  a  teacher  of  Junior  Hi  young 
people  in  a  week-day  school  of  re- 
ligion: "Don't  think  I  want  any  more 
Biblical  filrastrips  unless  they  are  in 
art.  We  got  weary  in  our  bones  of 
those  photographs  of  actors  in  make-up 
and  costumes.  The  first  one  or  two 
were  not  so  bad,  but  week  after  week 
they  lack  appeal.  I'll  take  art  from 
now  on."  This  is  something  for  the 
producers  to  ponder.  There  is  sense 
in  this  observation  if  you  can  smelt 
this  kind  of  ore.  I  know  what  he  is 
talking   about.    Do   you? 

"My  denomination  suggests  more 
.W  materials  from  secular  sources  than 
it  does  from  religious.  What  I  mean 
is  that  so  much  of  it  is  not  in  the 
.WRG,  and  can't  be  gotten  from  the 
average  rental  library.  When  there 
are  so  many  fine  films  and  filmstrips, 
why  do  we  need  to  send  here  and 
there  for  materials  more  related  to 
public  than  to  religious  education?" 
I  don't  know.  Do  you?  I  suggest  that 
.Mrs.  J.  H.  ask  this  question  of  top 
.AV'  people  in  her  denomination  since 
they,  no  doubt,  make  these  suggestions 
in  the  curriculum  materials.

Photographed  in  living  color  and  with  special  music  and  sound  effects  recorded 
on  location,  this  motion  picture  documents  modem  Africa's  surge  toward 
independence. 

Representative  Africans  interpret  their  convictions  in  their  own  words  and 
actions.  A  pastor  speaks  of  building  a  self-reliant  church.  A  village  chief  shows 
how  he  has  changed  old  tribal  patterns  into  a  modern  cooperative.  Brilliant 
young  political  leaders  speak  of  self-government.  A  physician  points  out  that 
even  independence  cannot  be  a  true  freedom  without  a  vital  faith  to  live  by.

Publicizing  the  end  product  of  what's  in 
the  AV  package. 


Viewlex   Packages  Plug  Schools 

All  cartons  in  which  Viewlex  products 
are  being  shipped  carry  the  official 
emblem  of  the  National  Citizens  Coun- 
cil for  Better  Schools,  the  symbol  of 
children  at  their  desks  and  the  slogan 
"Better  Schools  Build  Better  Communi- 
ties." This  carries  a  vital  message  to  the 
hundreds  of  people  who  see  the  package 
on  its  way  from  maker  to  end  user. 


Ling    Expands 

Ling  Electronics,  Inc.,  Culver  City, 
have  acquired  the  Altec  Companies, 
manufacturers  of  speakers  and  other 
audio  units.  A  new  45,000  sq,  ft.  plant, 
costing  over  $500,000,  is  being  erected 
at  the  Altec  location  in  Anaheim,  Calif. 
The  Ling  interests  have  also  taken  over 
University  Loudspeakers,  Inc.,  of  White 
Plains,  N.  Y.,  for  a  reported  considera- 
tion of  $2,300,000,  of  which  $1,650,- 
000  was  in  cash.  Both  Altec  and  Univer- 
sity will  continue  to  function  as  wholly- 
owned   subsidiaries. 


4-Screen    Ford   Roadshow 

The  Ford  Motor  Company  expects  to 
show  its  unique  four-screen  movies  in 
tent  shows  before  a  million  people  this 
year.  The  four  screens,  each  6'0  x  4'6, 
are  flanked  across  one  end  of  a  40-foot 
diameter  fireproof  tent.  Various  com- 
binations of  screens  are  activated  so  that 
filmed  actors  seem  to  talk  back  at  one 
another  even  as  the  main  picture  is 
on.  Two  traveling  units  will  present 
"Design  for  Suburban  Living";  two  others 
"Design  for  Rural  Living."  The  quadri- 
vision  continuous  automatic  projection 
equipment  was  developed  Busch  Film  and 
Equipment  Co.,  of  Saginaw,  Mich.  To 
get  the  four-way  synchronization  a  spe- 
cial Moviola  was  used  showing  three 
films  and  two  sound  tracks  simultane- 
ously. 


Learning   by   Singing 

Star  Records  offers  a  new  series  of 
hi-fi  records  featuring  songs  in  original 
foreign- language  text  —  and  the  same 
songs  in  English  on  the  flip  side. 


SMPTE    Features   A-V   Papers 

The  first  two  papers  on  the  kick-off 
program  at  the  85th  Semiannual  Con- 
vention of  the  Society  of  Motion  Picture 
and  Television  Engineers,  at  Miami 
Beach,  May  3-8,  featured  A-V  equip- 
ment of  major  interest  to  our  readers. 
In  the  first,  Richard  A.  Wallach  de- 
scribed The  Harwald  Company's  "Auto- 
matic Integrated  Projection  Training  De- 
vice for  Classroom  or  Auditorium  Use," 
offering  console-controlled  projection  of 
16mm  motion  pictures,  2x2  slides,  35mm 
filmstrips,  3'/4x4"  slides,  10"xlO"  over- 
head transparencies,  in  any  desired  com- 
bination, on  a  built-in  9'  x  7'  rear- 
projection  screen,  used  under  normal 
room  lighting.  George  W.  Reutell,  of  the 
Bell  &  Howell  Co.,  described  the  de- 
velopment of  the  new  JAN  16mm  pro- 
jector from  the  separate  Army,  Navy 
and  Air  Force  projectors.  John  C. 
Stormant,  a  student  at  the  University 
of  Miami,  reported  on  a  16mm  film 
processing  machine  built  at  the  univer- 
sity by  students  to  handle  all  black-and- 
white  and  sound  track  processing  at 
speeds  of  up  to   1 00  frames  per  second. 

Educational  Television  papers  included 
such   titles  as   "Closed-Circuit  Television 


in  School  and  Community:  The  Chelsea 
Experiment,"  "Implications  of  the  Con- 
tinental Classroom  for  Open-Circuit  Tele- 
vision Teaching."  "Professional  Motion- 
Picture  Training,  Liberal  Education  and 
the  Communication  Arts  Curriculum." 
C.  V^/alter  Stone,  of  the  U.  S.  Office  of 
Education,  spoke  in  the  implications  of 
the  National  Defense  Education  Act.  A 
paper  on  "A  Comparison  of  Learning  Re- 
sulting from  Motion-Picture  Projector 
and  from  Close-Circuit  TV  Presenta- 
tions" described  tests  of  the  effective- 
ness of  training  films  shown  under  vary- 
ing (controlled)  levels  of  projector  noise, 
and  established  the  projector  as  superior 
to  the  TV  screen  "provided  low  noise 
levels  are   maintained."

Here,  at  last  is

•  Sets  up  fast 

•  Threads  easily 

•  Projects  a  bright,

MM  SUPREME 


No  other  projector  has  so  many  exclusive 
features  designed  to  make  the  teacher's  job 
pleasantly  simple  —  vastly  more  efFective. 
MM  Supreme  is  a  precision-made  audio- 
visual unit  that  sets  up  in  minutes,  without 
fuss  or  bother.  Its  high-power  optica)  sys- 
tem concentrates  its  light  (with  minimum 
side-loss)  on  the  screen  so  that  even  the 
smallest  picture  detail  stands  out  crisply 
and  clearly.  Its  compact  audio  system  guar- 
antees full-range,  high-fidelity  sound.  And, 
because  MM  Supreme  is  so  skillfully  de- 
signed and  built,  there  is  never  any  dis- 
tracting operating  noise.  Students  concen- 
trate better  .  .  .  learn  more. 
MM  Supreme's  new  Easy-Thread  film  path 
diagram  makes  setting  up  as  quick  and 
easy  as  a  tracing.  And,  its  many  other 
features  make  it  the  most  desiroble  16  mm 
sound  projector  for  educational,  industrial 
and  entertainment  use. 
For  example,  MM  Supreme  has  speciol 
safety  trips  that  protect  film  against  incor- 
rect threading,  torn  sprocket  holes  and 
other  emergencies.  It  has  2000  ft.  film  ca- 
pacity —a  full  hour's  uninterrupted  use.  It 
is  complete  with  TV  type  screen,  800  ft. 
take-up  reel,  enclosed  speaker  with  exten- 
sion cord,  built-in  box  for  spare  lamp. 
Best  of  all,  MM  Supreme  is  so  compact  and 
light  in  weight  it  is  the  most  perfectly 
portable  projector  in  the  market.  Weighs 
only  28  lbs.  complete.

-ERE  comes  the  thirty-fourth  tditioii  ol  the  Blue  Book  of 
Audiovi.sua!  Materials!  Once  again  kc  have  collected  the  basic 
data  on  all  the  new  materials,  classified  in  thirty-two  categories, 
that  have  been  published  since  September,  1958.  In  addition! 
there  are  over  four  hundred  new  items,  to  give  schools,  audio- 
visual directors  and  teachers  the  most  coinprehensive  listing 
possible. 

Under  each  classification  all  kinds  of  materials  are  listed, 
making  possible-even  encouraging-the  "cross-media"  approach 
to  learning.  For  example,  among  the  social  studies  listings  the 
reader  will  find  motion  pictures,  filmstrips,  sound  filmstrips, 
inaps,  globes,  records,  tapes,  study  prints,  slides,  and  the  classifi- 
cation by  subject  matter  rather  than  by  medium  should  make  it 
possible  for  curriculum  specialists  to  broaden  their  scopes  by 
trying  new  and  exciting  things. 

Keep  this  Blue  Book  handy  for  repeated  reference  throughout 
the  year!  You  may  wish  to  order  additional  copies  for  other 
departments  or  personnel  in  your  school.  And  if  you  have  any 
suggestions  for  improving  this  service  we  offer  you,  the  stal?  will 
be  glad  to  receive  them.  —  ES 


SEPTEMBER'S  on  its  way,  and  our  "Back-to-School"  issue 
will  be  packed  with  information  which  we  feel  will  interest 
our  readers  — such  as  another  "architectural  solution,"  and 
criteria  for  evaluating  equipment  before  purchase.  All  our 
popular  departments  will  be  back  with  us,  too.

Three  R's 
Out  of 
Four 


The  three  R's  we're  thinking  about  right  now 
are  not  the  traditional  readin'  'ritin'  and  'rith- 
metic  R's.  What  we  are  thinking  about  in  con- 
nection with  this  special  BLUE  BOOK  issue 
of  "Educational  Screen  and  AUDIOVISUAL 
Guide"  are  three  of  the  "4  R's"  that  are  the 
central  objective  of  every  good  school  audiovisual 
program. 

We  remember  vividly  all  four  of  the  "R's"  as 
they  were  set  down  in  that  handy  little  Princi- 
pals' Handbook'  that  came  out  of  California 
ten  years  ago: 

Question  3:  What  are  the  "4  R's"  of  your 
school's  Audio-Visual    Education   Program? 

Answer:  The  "4  R's"  of  your  school's  Audio- 
Visual  Education  Program  are  ...  to  make  sure 
that  the: 

Right  materials  and  equipment  get  to  the 

Right  place  at  the 

Right  time,  and  see  that  they  are  used  in  the 

Right  way! 

That's  as  terse  and  memorable  a  way  as  we 
know  for  stating  the  goals  of  an  audiovisual  pro- 
gram. To  achieve  such  clear-cut  goals  is  another 
thing,  and  it  takes  a  lot  of  doing.  It's  becoming 
more  difficult  all  the  time.  For  one  thing,  there 
are  more  materials  now  than  ever  before,  more 
kinds,  and  more  of  each  kind.  So  if  you  are  go- 
ing to  get  the  right  materials  to  the  right  place 
at  the  right  time,  first  you've  got  to  know  what's 
available  and  where  to  get  it.  That's  what  the 
BLUE  BOOK'S  for,  to  help  you  do  just  that. 

Today,  guiding  the  selection  of  the  right  ma- 
terials for  specific  classroom  uses  is  one  of  the 
most  important  functions  of  the  audiovisual 
administrator.  Carlton  Erickson,  in  his  excellent 
new  text,  "Administering  Audio-Visual  Services,"^ 
identifies  clearly  two  levels  of  materials  selection. 
The  first  is  at  the  classroom  teaching  level:  the 
materials  the  teacher  selects  to  meet  sf>ecific  teach- 
ing objectives.  The  second  level  is  selection  for 
system-wide  distribution:  the  materials  selected 
by  the  system  for  use  by  teachers.  "The  only 
valid  reason  for  selection  at  the  second  level  is  to 
facilitate  selection  at  the   first." 

The  BLUE  BOOK  serves  both  levels  of  mate- 
rials selection,  but  at  the  second  level,  for  the 
selection  of  materials  for  system-wide  distribu- 
tion, it  is  an  indispensable  guide  for  the  audio- 
visual administrator.  His  is  the  demanding  re- 
sponsibility for  making  sure  that  the  right 
materials  are  available  for  the  teachers  of  his 
system.  He  must  know  about  all  the  materials 
produced,  and  his  information  must  be  up-to- 
date.  He  must  know  where  to  get  them,  and  his 
information  must  be  accurate.  The  BLUE 
BOOK  is  for  him.  It  is  a  summary  list  of  the 
audiovisual  materials  produced  during  the  past 
year,  and  tells  you  who  produced  them. 

Now,  assuming  you  have  already  worked  out 
your  evaluative  procedures,  all  you've  got  to 
do  is  to  write  the  producers  for  preview  copies. 
But  we  urge  you  to  be  fair  about  it.  Ask  for  pre- 


394 


EdScreen   &  AV  Guide  —  August,    195' 


view  copies  only  when  you  have  funds  available 
and  when  you  are  seriously  involved  with  the 
selection  of  materials  for  purchase.  Then  buy 
those  materials  that  will  best  serve  the  teaching 
needs  of  the  teachers  you  serve.  Then  you'll  have 
the  rig'iit  materials  in  the  right  place  at  the  right 
time  .  .  .  but  wait! 

Come  to  think  of  it,  there's  a  first  and  second 
level  to  the  "4  R's"  of  your  audiovisual  program. 
The  first  level  of  the  "4  R's"  is  at  the  classroom 
teaching  level:  the  right  materials  must  be  in  the 
classroom  at  the  time  the  teacher  wants  to  use 
them.  But  this  can  only  happen  if  the  "4  R's" 
have  been  achieved  at  the  second  level,  the 
system-wide  administrative  level:  if  the  right  ma- 
terials have  been  selected  and  purchased  from 
the  producers;  they  must  be  in  a  right  place  —  a 
central  distribution  point  from  where  they  are 


readily  available  for  all  teachers  to  use;  and  the 
right  time  to  acquire  these  materials  is  as  soon 
after  they're  produced  as  possible.  The  BLUE 
BOOK  is  the  indispensable  guide  for  implanting 
three  R's  out  of  four. 

But  what  about  the  fourth  R?  The  fourth  is 
the  one  that  warns  that  the  materials  must  be 
used  in  the  RIGHT  WAY.  Well  .  .  .  that's  what 
the  other  issues  of  "Educational  Screen  and 
AUDIOVISUAL  Guide"  are  all  aboutl

Visualizing  Difficult  Subjects 


Time  lapse  photography  helps  demonstrate  plant  growth  and   the  unfolding  of  a   blossom. 


by  Marjorie  A.   Clark 


H 


OW  far  is  it  to  the  nearest  star?  How  does 
a  bat  see  where  it  is  going?  Does  a  humming  bird 
fly  backwards?  How  do  crystals  form? 

The  preparation  of  films  and  filmstrips  for 
teaching  science  posed  many  problems  for  us 
here  at  the  Moody  Institute  of  Science.  Often 
pictures,  charts  and  diagrams  fail  to  get  across

certain  concepts,  and  we  had  to  find  other  meth- 
fjds  for  visuahzing  difficult  subjects. 

It  seemed  simple  enough  to  send  photogra- 
phers to  take  pictures  of  plant  growth.  But  plants 
grew  slowly  and  it  took  too  long  to  get  the  whole 
story.  To  explain  such  terms  as  tropism,  turgor, 
yjhotosynthesis,  we  had  to  show  the  actual  work- 
ing of  the  plant.  We  found  the  answer  in  time 
lapse  photography.  Now  the  student  can  see  the 
root  break  through  the  seed  and  force  its  way 
through  the  ground,  and  then  the  development 
of  the  branch  roots.  Pictures  of  special  experi- 
ments with  wet  and  dry  areas  reveal  the  root's 
search  for  water.  From  above  ground  the  stu- 
dent watches  the  thrust  of  the  shoot  breaking 
through  the  earth,  the  swaying  rhythm  of  plant 
growth  and  the  beauty  of  the  imfurling  petal. 
Telescoped  into  a  few  moments  is  the  whole 
story  of  a  growing  plant. 

To  explain  the  process  of  photosynthesis,  both 
camera  and  microscope  were  used,  and  as  the 
student  sees  the  movement  of  the  chloroplasts 
in  the  plant  cell  he  has  a  better  understanding 
of  plant  life  at  work. 

In  contrast,  other  things  could  be  better  illus- 
trated when  the  action  was  slowed  down.  We 
used  a  special  high  speed  camera  which  takes  up 
to  3000  frames  per  second  (125  times  normal 
speed  to  show  what  happens  when  an  object 
falls  into  a  liquid,  or  when  an  egg  is  suddenly 
shattered.  In  slow  motion  it  is  quite  evident  that 
a  humming  bird  really  does  fly  backwards! 

Whether  we  slow  down  the  action,  or  compress 
three  days  into  a  brief  eighteen  seconds,  we  are 
opening  the  door  into  the  world  of  relativity, 


and  helping  the  student  to  gain  new  perspectives 
in  the  relationships  between  time,  distance,  and 
matter. 

Traveling  just  under  the  speed  of  light,  it 
would  take  eighteen  years  to  make  a  round  trip 
to  the  world's  nearest  star  and  back,  yet  the  per- 
son making  the  trip  would  age  only  one  day 
because  his  body  functions  would  be  slowed. 
How  could  we  visualize  a  subject  of  tliis  kind? 
A  camera  with  a  variable  aspect  ratio  lens  —  like 
those  which  spread  out  the  cinemascope  picture 
to  wide  screen  —  solved  the  problem.  It  gave  the 
same  effect  as  if  the  room  were  accelerated  to 
amazing  speeds.  In  this  way  the  student  is  given 
some  idea  of  the  mystery  of  time,  and  just  how 
long  the  light  that  twinkles  from  a  distant  star 
has  been  traveling  on  its  earthward  journey. 

A  school  may  have  a  collection  of  minerals-^ 
and  students  may  have  seen  glittering  crystals; 
displayed  on  backgrounds  of  deep-toned  velvet- 
But  to  identify  crystals  witfi  their  role  in  the- 
formation  of  the  earth's  crust,  we  became  ama- 
teur speleologists,  exploring  caves  and  pfioto- 
graphing  the  results  of  crystal  formations  in- 
limestone  deposits. 

In  the  laboratory,  photomicrography  was  used' 
to  show  the  actual  formation  of  certain  crystals.. 
Now  as  the  student  watches  a  grain  of  salt  dis- 
solve and  re-crystallize  he  learns  that  minerals, 
follow  their  set  patterns  of  angular  precision. 
To  show  beauty  in  nature,  a  polarizing  micro- 
scope was  used  to  reveal  various  crystalline  pat- 
terns in  all  the  colors  of  the  rainbow. 

Everybody  knows  that  bats  fly  by  night  without 
bumping  into  things,  but  we  wanted  to  demon-

strata  their  way-finding  ability  and  find  out  their 
secret  of  night  flight.  That  meant  more  cave 
explorations  to  obtain  bats  for  laboratory  experi- 
ments. An  obstacle  course  was  set  up,  and  we 
photographed  the  bats  as  they  winged  their  way 
between  bars  without  even  touching  them.  Then 
we  blindfolded  the  bats.  They  flew  through  the 
bars  again.  But  when  we  tied  their  mouths  shut, 
they  bumped  into  the  sides  of  the  course.  A 
special  microphone  and  amplifier  revealed  the 
fact  that  bats  made  high-pitched  sounds  as  they 
flew,  which  echoed  back  from  nearby  objects, 
thus  guiding  the  bats  in  flight.  Here  was  the 
principle  of  sonar  demonstrated  in  a  way  which 
could  be  easily  understood,  even  if  it  proved 
disconcerting  to  realize  that  bats  had  been  put- 
ting into  nightly  practice  for  centuries  a  method 
of  way-finding  men  only  recently  discovered. 

Other  animals  have  been  brought  to  the  lab- 
oratory to  find  out  and  then  to  illustrate  for 
science  classes  just  how  they  function,  among 
them  the  electric  eel  and  the  sloth  which,  even 
in  a  laboratory,  prefers  to  hang  upside  down. 

We  found  that  the  structure  and  function  of 
our  bodies  was  not  always  easy   to  explain   or 


illustrate.  Comparison  to  a  camera,  for  example, 
helped  when  dealing  with  the  human  eye,  but  for 
the  most  part  man-made  machines  only  served 
to  demonstrate  the  superiority  and  complexity  of 
the  human  machine. 

Without  doubt  the  most  difficult  subject  to 
visualize  was  the  valve  action  of  the  human 
heart,  and  yet  it  was  a  vital  part  of  the  story  of 
the  blood  stream.  The  result  has  appeared  in 
newspapers  and  scientific  journals  across  the 
country.  Scientist  and  heart  specialist  worked 
together  to  build  a  jjump  that  would  make  a 
dead  human  heart  pump  water  in  the  same  way 
that  blood  flows  through  a  living  heart.  Then, 
through  specially  designed  "windows,"  cameras 
recorded  the  operatiton  of  the  aortic  and  mitral 
valves  from  outside  and  from  within  the  heart. 
One  of  the  results  of  this  has  been  the  appear- 
ance of  "heart  machines"  in  science  fairs  all 
across  the  country! 

With  today's  advances  we  are  constantly  faced 
with  new  problems  in  visualization,  but  writers, 
scientists,  artists  and  photographers  work  to- 
gether to  make  science  exciting  and  understand- 
able for  the  students  in  our  schools.

(1)   Here  is  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  effective  visual  aids— the  lime-honored  chalk- 
board. But  sometimes  even  in  top  quality  boards,  things  go  wrong. 


Chalkboards 
in  Action 

by  E.  Milton  Grassell 


D 


o  chalkboard  problems  come  up  in  your 
work?  They  certainly  do  in  mine!  For  instance, 
questions  like  these  continually  pop  up: 

Will  colored  chalk  erase? 

What  causes  white  ghost  marks? 

Why  do  boards  get  hard  to  write  on  and 
difficult  to  erase? 

How  can  chalkboards  be  used  more   effec- 
tively? 

If  answers  to  specific  questions  like  these  will 
help  you  help  teachers  use  chalk  and  chalkboards 
more  eff^ectively,  you  will  be  interested  in  the 
accompanying  pictures  and  captions  that  answer 
these  questions  and  several  more.  These  pictures 
pinpoint  the  following  chalkboard  items: 

1.  Oil  is  life  to  bearings,  but  death  to  chalk- 
boards! 

2.  White  ghost  marks  are  caused  by  "second" 
and  "third"  grade  chalks. 

3.  Olialk  lor  colored  paper  is  impossible  to 
erase,  but  can  be  removed,  and 

4.  Good  grade  colored  and  "white"  chalks 
erase  readily  and  completely. 

In  addition,  the  accompanying  pictures  illus- 
trate some  good  chalkboard  work  in  attion. 
These  illustrations  su]jport  the  following  state- 
ment made  by  a  famous  educator: 

"Indeed,  in  no  state  or  coiuiiry  have  1  ever 
seen  a  good  school  without  a  blackboard  or  a 
successful  teacher  who  did  not  use  it  frequently." 

Yes,  decades  ago  Horace  Mann  said  that  about 
an  imf)ortant  teaching  aid  that  is  now  called 
the  (li:ilkboard.  His  statement  is  still  true  lodav! 

400 


(li)  Oil  on  the  surface  makes  writing  hard  and 
erasing  diflicull;  inferior  grade  "white"  chalks 
leave  ghost  marks  and  chalk  made  for  paper  can- 
not  be  erased. 


(3)  Yet  all  these  problems  cin  l)e  solved  by  using 
an  abrasive  on  a  damp  cloth.  Cionlrary  to  popular 
belief,  neither  the  abrasive  nor  the  water  will 
harm  any  good  grade  chalkl)oard,  providing  it  is 
thoroughly  rinsed  after  washing.  Through  a  micro- 
scope, the  chalkboard  surface  shows  up  a  series 
of  "hills"  and  "valleys."  Unless  the  board  is  rinsed, 
the  glue  that  binds  the  chalk  i)articles  together 
fills  tlie  "valleys."  This  |>r<xluces  a  glary  surface 
and  one  that  is  difficult  to  write  on. 
After  rinsing,  allow  the  board  to  dry  (overnight 
or  longer)  and  then  break  it  in  by  rubbing  good 
^ade  chalk  over  the  surface. 


I)  Work  this  dust  into  the  Ijoard  by  vigorously 
ubbing  the  siuface  with  a  cloth  or  a  felt-ribbed 
raser.  Allow  a  thin  film  on  the  board  at  all  times 
or  writing  and  erasing  ease.  (Top  grade  chalk  on 
igh  quality  boards  will  leave  ghost  marks  unless 
he  boards  are  chalked   in.) 


5)  The  best  cleaning  |)rocedurc  is  to  use  felt- 
ibbed  erasers,  sej)arate  chamois,  or  chamois- 
>acked  era-sers.  Wi|)e  the  chamois-backed  eraser 
liter  every  stroke  tn  two  on  a  clean  cloth  for 
)est  results. 


(8)  I'Liiiiaiicm  outlines  ot  the  human  body,  re- 
gions, football  fields,  etc.,  can  be  made  easily  on 
auxiliary  chalkboards  with  felt-nib  {)ens.  Use  an 
oi)aque  or  fihnstrip  projector  to  enlarge  and 
transfer  the  designs  to  the  lx)ard.  Write  on  the 
outlined  surface  with  good  grade  clialk.  When 
you  erase,  the  permanent  outline  remains,  readily 
available  for  many  visual   illustrations. 


(9)  Third  grade  chalk  (right)  is  easily  recognized; 
it  is  tapered  and  marked  with  air  holes.  It  also 
contains  hard  spots  that  scratch  the  chalkboard 
surface,  causing  permanent  damage.  Second  grade 
chalk  contains  alxiut  fifty  percent  clay,  and  leaves 
"ghost"  marks.  Top  grade  chalk  contains  ninety- 
five  percent  or  more  pure  English  precipitated 
white.  It  writes  and  erases  easily. 
These  pictures  are  taken  from  a  film,  "Chalk  and 
Chalkboards,"  recently  released  by  Bailey  Films, 
Inc. 


[6)  Color  adds  emphasis,  but  be  sure  to  use  only 
:op  quality  colored  chalk  made  specifically  for 
halkboards.  This  will  erase! 


(7)  Templates  insure  accuracy  and  save  time  when 
making  certain  outlines  that  are  often  re|>eated. 
A  simple  handle  makes  them  easier  to  use.  They 
may  Ik."  made  of  heavy  paper,  plyw(KKl  or  hard-

NEW  UNIQUE  EBF  SHORTSTRIPS 
DESIGNED  FOR  miVIDUAL  A-V 
TEACHING  IN  PRIMARY  GRADES 

Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  announces  a  revolutionary  new  filmstrip  utilization 
program,  designed  to  teach  primary  school  pupils  in  an  original  and  fascinating  way 
using  EBF  SHORTSTRIPS.  The  SHORTSTRIP  is  prepared  primarily  for  individual 
pupil  viewing  but  can  also  be  projected  to  the  entire  class.  This  unique  teaching 
method  has  been  compared  to  pupil  use  of  a  book  from  the  classroom  or  school  library. 
Two  SHORTSTRIP  series,  one  for  Science  and  the  other  for  Social  Studies,  have  just 
been  released  by  EBF,  They  were  prepared  by  Eileen  Nelson  of  the  National  College  of 
Education,  Evanston,  Illinois. 


What  is  a  SHORTSTRIP? 

The  SHORTSTRIP  is 
unique  in  that  it  is  designed 
mainly  for  indiuidual  pupil 
viewing  with  a  hand  or  desk 
viewer.  It  can  be  projected 
on  a  screen  just  as  tradi- 
tional filmstrips  are  pro- 
jected for  an  entire  class  to 
see  and  enjoy. 

But  the  SHORTSTRIP 
will  find  its  most  interesting 
use  in  the  hands  of  the  pu- 
pils themselves.  The  twenty- 
four  SHORTSTRIPS  in  the 
current  series  are  each  four- 
teen frames  long.  They  are 
packaged  flat,  inside  and 
along  one  edge  of  a  clear, 
plastic  envelope.  The  en- 
velope, with  the  filmstrip  in- 
side, is  inserted  into  the 
small,  plastic  hand-viewer 
and  moved  upward  for  clear 
and  effective  viewing  by  the 
pupil.  Along  with  each 
SHORTSTRIP,  inside  the 
plastic  envelope,  is  a  printed 
card  containing  additional 
frame-by-frame  questions 
for  the  pupil  to  answer  as  he 
views  the  SHORTSTRIP. 
On  the  back  of  the  card  is  a 
paragraph  summary  of  the 
SHORTSTRIP  content  for 
the  pupil  himself  to  read. 
Each  SHORTSTRIP  can 
be  easily  removed  from  its 
plastic  container  for  use  in 
a  regular  filmstrip  projec- 
tor. Each  seifies  of  twelve 
SHORTSTRIPS  is 
packed  in  an  attractive  box 
for  easy  storage. 


FOR   THE   HOME- 

EBF  Shortstrips  can  be 
easily  taken  home  for  review 
or  homework.  Extra  viewers 
and    SHORTSTRIPS    are 

economical. 


FOR   THE   CLASSROOM- 

Individual  pupil  viewing. 
Boys  and  girls  love 
SHORTSTRIPS  for  their 
colorful  pictures,  and  easy- 
to-read  captions. 


"LEARNING  ABOUT  PEOPLE'-another 

EBF  SHORTSTRIP  Series  for  primary  Social  Studies 

Many  of  the  important  concepts  in  the  social  studies  cur- 
riculum at  the  primary  grades  level  are  covered  in  this 
series  of  twelve  colorful  and  fascinating  SHORTSTRIPS, 
Most  of  the  pictures  used  in  this  series  are  actual  color 
photographs  of  real  children 


in  interesting  situations 
One  frame  at  the  end  is 
composed  of  short  review 
questions,

HISTORY  COMES  TO  LIFE 

THROUGH  OUR  DYNAMIC  FOUR-POINT  PROGRAM! 


The  completion  of  the  new  series,  The 
Chronicles  of  America  Filmstrips,  rounds  out 
our  four-point  program  to  enrich  and  vitalize 
the  study  of  American  history  as  never  before 
]3ossible.  Through  these  rare  teaching  tools 
our  precious  democratic  ideals  are  projected 
into  their  true,  dramatic  dimensions  —  to

preservation. 

Prepared  by  eminent  specialists  in  history 
and  education,  these  authoritative,  vividly- 
presented  books  and  filmstrips  bring  to  the 
student  a  feeling  of  personal  identification 


with  the  struggles  and  accomplishments  of 
the  great  leaders  who  have  influenced  and 
shaped  our  civilization. 

Each  of  the  four  key  points  in  our  program 
is  a  flexible  and  versatile  instrument,  offer- 
ing almost  limitless  creative  teaching  oppor- 
tunities. Together,  they  form  an  unprece- 
dented, comprehensive  apparatus  for  learning 
through  participation  in  "living"  American 
history.  We  urge  you  to  order  them  today 
to  assist  you  in  your  vital  task  of  guiding

Record  Sales   Boom 

The  tenth  anniversary  of  the  introduc- 
tion of  the  long-play  record  finds  this 
type  of  platter  with  68  percent  of  all  rec- 
ord sales,  according  to  Columbia  Records. 
Its  own  1958  output  was  25  percent 
above  1957;  total  volume  up  12  percent; 
biggest  sales  year  in  the  company's  his- 
tory. Both  record  and  phonograph  sales 
reflected  growing  consumer  interest  In 
stereo,  according  to  the  report,  "despite 
certain  confusion  that  inevitably  accom- 
panies introduction  of  any  new  product 
such  as  stereo,  the  public  apparently  un- 
derstands that  all  records  will  sound  bet- 
ter on  stereo  equipment  and  that  no  past 
or  present  purchases  are  obsolete." 

TV   Needs  Film 

Crawley  Films  of  Canada  call  attention 
to  the  fact  that  of  the  top  ten  (Neilsen 
rating)  TV  programs  at  year's  end,  every 
one  was  a  filmed  show,  not  a  single  one 
was  live.  A  Crawley  crew  is  to  spend  a 
full  year  on  location,  producing  a  series 
of  13  half-hour  films  in  both  French  and 
English,  on  the  lives  of  the  people  who 
live  along  the  700  miles  of  the  north 
shore  of  the  St.  Lawrence  River,  all  the 
way  from  Quebec  to  Strait  of  Belle   Isle. 

Beseler  Handling  "Topcon" 

The  "Topcon"  single- lens  reflex  camera 
and  associated  photographic  accessories 
will  be  sold  in  this  country  by  the  Charles 
Beseler  Company.  Tokyo-trained  repair 
specialists  will  service  the  line  at  the 
Besel«r  plant. 

A  Convention  Gimmick,  Too 

"Planotype"  alphabets  In  ten  type 
sizes  are  now  available  transparent  as 
well  as  opaque.  A  recent  Ozalid  conven- 
tion exhibit  showed  how  to  use  both 
types  in  making  overhead  transparencies 
—  and  did  a  land  office  "business"  be- 
sides in  decorating  conventioneers'  badges 
with  the  proper  (?)  "Bill"  or  "Chuck" 
or  what-have-you  nicknames.  Distribu- 
tion of  "Planotype"  is  pushed  by  Camera 
Equipment  Company.

Sure,  black-out  coverings  get  the  room  dark.  But  they  don't  cut  down  on  glare.  Sure,  conventional

out  of  date  as  a  one-room  school!  Only  Flexalum  Audio-Visual  blinds  can  give  you  the  precise  light

for  Audio- Visual  teaching.  Reasons:  Flexalum  is  made  with  more  slats,  which  means  greater  overlap — 

plus  special  light  channels  which  keep  light  out  around  the  sides.  All  this  and  you  save,  too.  Because

Josephine  Hoffman  Knight  Dies 

Jo.sephinc  Hoffman  Knight,  busines.s  manager  and  .secretary- 
treasurer  of  EDUCATIONAL  SCREEN  &  AUDIOVISUAL 
GUIDE,  died  in  Chicago  on  August  7.  Born  in  Spring  Valley, 
Illinois,  she  was  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Illinois  and  a 
member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  Her  personal  life  was  closely  bound 
with  that  of  her  sister,  Mrs.  Mary  H.  Hill,  and  her  nephew,  both 
of  whom  survive  her.  Her  husband  died  in   1950. 

Jo  Hoffman  Knight  joined  the  staff  of  EDUCATIONAL 
SCREEN  in  its  infancy,  working  under  its  founder.  Nelson  L. 
Greene,  at  all  of  the  jobs  necessary  to  turn  out  a  monthly  audiovisu- 
al magazine.  She  reported,  she  wrote,  she  edited,  she  reviewed,  she 
sold  ads,  she  kept  books,  she  kept  faith.  It  is  possible  the  magazine 
could  not  have  survived  its  lean  years  without  the  economies  she 
devised  and  firmly  enforced.  She  worked  persistently,  devotedly, 
in  an  unassuming  way  to  develop  EdSCREEN  and  the  audiovisual 
idea.  She  seemed  little  concerned  about  who  got  the  credit  and 
praise.  She  worked  hard  and  long— and  obviously  loved  her  work. 

She  had  many  friends  in  the  field,  especially  within  the  audio- 
visual industry.  She  valued  highly  the  contributions  of  the  makers 
of  equipment  and  materials.  She  knew  many  of  the  audiovisual 
pioneers.  I  can  recall  her  smile  when  someone  referred  to  her  as  a 
pioneer.  What  woman  young,  active  and  attractive  as  Jo  was  up 
to  her  untimely  end  wants  to  be  so  called?  Yet  indeed  she  was 
an  AV  pioneer,  an  AV  great. 

It  might  rightly  be  said  that  she  gave  her  life  to  EDUCATIONAL 
SCREEN  and  the  audiovisual  field.  Her  devotion,  her  work  month 
after  month,  year  after  year  have  left  their  mark  permanently. 

This  is  enough  to  say  about  her.  She  would  prefer,  I  know, 
that  space  be  used  instead  for  ads  and  articles  and  editorials.  The 
magazine  is  her  most  fitting  memorial.  She  lives  on  in  it  and 
through  it.  —  June  Sark  Heinrich

NAVA  Convention 
Great  Success 

With  an  appropriate  send-off  by  a 
telegraplied  message  from  President 
Eiseniiowcr,  ttie  I'JtIi  Annual  Conven- 
tion and  Exliibit  proceeded  to  hold  the 
largest  and  most  successful  meeting 
in  its  history.  Attendance  was  up 
eleven  percent  over  any  former  year, 
in  excess  of  2,500. 

Keynote  speaker  Charles  H.  Percy, 
president  of  Bell  &  Howell,  warned 
the  audiovisual  industry  of  our 
country's  extreme  educational  crisis.

Michigan's  English  Language  Institute  using  TV 


Teacher  Training  Via 
Closed-Circuit  TV 

A  dosed  circuit  television  system  is 
being  used  by  the  English  Language 
Institute,  University  of  Michigan,  to 
supplement  and  improve  the  training 
of  teachers.  The  system  is  financed  by 
the  Ford  Foundation  and  employs 
RCA  equipment.  Since  1941,  the  In- 
stitute has  trained  more  than  2,000 
U.  S.  and  foreign  teachers,  who  have 
in  turn  taught  English  to  some  1,500,- 
000  persons  around  the  world. 

The  TV  system,  located  in  the  North 
University  Building,  permits  an  In- 
stitute instructor  to  teach  a  class  of 
foreign  students  while  teacher  trainees 
watch   and  discuss   the   classroom   per- 


formance next  door. 

The  foreign  students  in  one  class- 
room receive  such  phases  of  English 
language  instruction  as  pronunciation, 
sentence  patterns  and  vocabulary 
while  a  second  instructor,  doubling 
as  a  cameraman,  focusses  on  them.  In 
an  adjoining  classroom,  as  many  as 
100  teacher  trainees  can  view  the  TV 
picture  on  a  large  projection  screen, 
discussing  the  "show"  without  disturb- 
ing the  televised  class. 

The  Institute  TV  system  is  the 
fourth  on  the  University  of  Michigan 
campus.  The  new  system  was  planned 
and  supervised  by  Professor  Garnet  R. 
Garrison,  Director  of  Broadcasting, 
and  Frederick  M.  Rcmley,  Jr.,  Tech- 
nical   Director    of    Radio    and    Tele-

At  the  new  A  ASA  award-winning  Cenlralia  Junior  High  School,  Centralia,  Washington, 
E.  James  Livingston,  District  Audio- Visual  Coordinator,  Centralia  School  District  No.  401,  says: 


'Each  of  our  32  teachers  can  operate  our 
Pageant  Projectors  like  a  veteran  projectionist.' 


"We're  delighted  with  the  machine's  simplicity. 

"But  nevertheless,  these  projectors  got  the  same 
careful  dollar-for-dollar  scrutiny  we  give  to  every- 
thing we  buy.  We  must  be  stringent,  because  with  us 
these  machines  are  slaves.  They  run  constantly— 90% 
of  the  time  at  least. 

"In  analyzing  projector  value,  we  looked  long  and 
hard  at  picture  and  sound  quality,  too.  We  found 
that  the  Pageant  projects  a  sharp  and  brilliant  screen 


image  and  literally  fills  the  room  with  clear  sound. 

"Another  thing  we  like  about  these  machines  is 
the  lifetime  lubrication.  Not  having  to  keep  bother- 
some lubrication  records  is  a  real  pleasure."  (Pag- 
eants don't  require  any  oiling  by  the  user.)

The 

Dismaying 

Lag 


Paul  C.  Reed 


A  principal  speaker  at  the  National  Audiovisual  Convention  ir 
Chicago  made  a  ]Joint  that  soinid  motion  jjiclme  projectors  hadn'l 
changed  much  in  the  past  many  years.  He  said  you  could  compare 
projectors  with  vacuum  cleaners  to  see  what  he  meant.  Current 
projectors  are  practically  the  same  as  the  first  ones;  but  look  at  ilu 
change  in  vacuum  cleaners  over  the  same  twenty-five  years! 

Now  we're  not  denying  that  sound  projectors  could  be  improved 
and  that  they  could  be  made  simpler  to  thread  and  operate.  ]iui 
we  think  there's  another  point,  and  a  far  more  important  one,  ic 
be  made.  We  maintain  that  the  audiovisual  industry  continuoiisl) 
demonstrates  its  readiness,  ingenuity,  and  skill  lor  blending  elec 
tronics  and  gears  and  ideas  into  ama/ing  autliovisual  tools.  Hut 
the  inventors  and  designers  and  manufacturers  of  these  technologi 
cal  tools  for  learning  are  so  far  out  in  front  of  educators'  readiness 
to  use  them  that  the  situation  is  appalling. 

It's  more  than  just  a  trite  expression  that  it  takes  education  fift^ 
years  to  accept  a  new  idea.  It's  been  a  fact.  It's  more  than  fifty  yean 
now  since  motion  pictures  became  a  reality;  and  it's  more  thar 
fifty  years  since  pioneering  educators  saw  the  vision  and  the  promise 
of  motion  pictures  for  communicating  information  and  ideas.  Ol 
course  motion  pictures  are  used  in  schools  today.  But  to  whai 
extent?  How  many  teachers  are  using  one  ten  minute  motion  picture 
once  a  week?  Once  a  month?  Or  even  once  a  year?  No  matter  wliai 
the  answers  are,  this  use  is  far  too  little  compared  to  the  teaching 
potential  of  the  medium.  You  know  this.  You  understand  the  powei 
of  pictures  for  learning. 

The  same  can  be  said  for  other  audiovisual  tools.  Take  records 
and  recording  for  another  instance.  Here,  too,  it's  not  the  lack  ol 
the  right  equipment.  It's  the  lack  of  readiness  on  the  part  of  edu 
cators  to  make  use  of  materials  and  methods  that  are  available. 
Language  laboratory  methods  for  learning  a  foreign  language  art 
not  new.  The  recording  of  foreign  words  and  sentences  on  discs  is 
as  old  as  the  recording  industry  itself.  We've  had  the  machines 
and  we've  had  the  records.  These  have  been  continually  improved 
We've  had  good  magnetic  recording  ecjuipment  now  for  almost 
fifteen  years.  Yet  even  today,  and  even  with  the  stimulus  of  the 
National  Defense  Education  Act,  it  is  still  a  rare  high  school  thai 
has  incorporated  the  use  of  records  and  recording  into  accepted 
basic  methods  for  language  instruction. 

If  you  respond  to  this  criticism  of  American  education,  don't  tell 
us  it's  lack  of  money  that  holds  education  back  from  using  new^er 
and  better  tools  for  communicating  ideas.  There's  money  enough 
in  this  country  to  buy  anything  the  people  want.  Look  at  the 
statistics  for  tobacco  or  beer  or  tv  or  any  luxury  you  can  name  foi 
proof  of  this  fact. 

Another  speaker  at  the  National  Audiovisual  meeting  made  the 
point  better  and  maybe  gave  us  a  clue  for  action.  Here's  the  wa) 
he  said  it:  "In  a  free  society  a  free  penfile  does  whatever  it  feels  ii 
urgent  and  needed,  whatever  it  is  enthusiastic  about  doing.  No  oni 
is  ever  enthusiastic  about  anything  until  he  understands  it." 

Now,  then.  Here  is  a  task  and  a  challenge  for  everyone  witf' 
understanding  of  the  power  of  audiovisual  tools  for  communication 
We  must  redouble  our  efforts  to  overcome  the  dismaying  lag  in 
our  use  of  the  electronic  communications  tools  we  have.  We  must 
renew  our  efforts  to  convince  the  people  of  this  free  society  thai 
they  and  their  children  can  learn  more  anil  better  through  the  use- 
of  these  tools.  We  must  make  the  free  jieople  of  this  free  society 
enthusiastic  about  using  audiovisual  methods  in  their  schools 
First,  however,  we  must  make  sure  that  education's  decision  maker; 
—  the  school  board  members  and  the  superintendents  — are  enthu 
siastic  about  them  too.

The 

Resourceful 
Teacher 
and  AV 


superintendent  friend  of  mine  once  re- 
marked, "if  I  can  show  a  prospective  classroom 
teacher  a  bare  classroom,  one  stripped  of  all 
the  necessary  tools  of  instruction,  and  that  appli- 
cant still  desires  employment  in  my  district,  I 
know  then  that  I  have  found  a  resourceful  per- 
son." 

Evidently  his  formula  works  with  some  degree 
of  success  as  he  always  has  an   excellent  stafiE. 

Although  his  district  makes  available  neces- 
sary audiovisual  materials  within  the  limits  of 
a  moderate  budget,  resourcefulness  on  the  part 
of  the  classroom  teachers,  supervisors,  and  ad- 
ministrators swells  this  collection  and  continu- 
ously revises  and  adapts  "in-use"  selections  for 
more  effective  presentation— always  seemingly  in- 
dividualized to  the  particular  teacher  and  learn- 
ing experience.  This  individualization  and 
adaptation  applies  to  equipment  as  well  as  to 
materials. 


Equally  interesting  was  a  comment  from  the 
audiovisual  director  of  this  same  school  district. 
"Do  you  know,"  he  related,  "I  have  observed 
public  information  personnel  representing  in- 
dustries and  business  in  our  community  using 
audiovisual  media  in  presenting  their  stories. 
We  in  education  have  had  access  to  these  media 
for  many  years  and  we  are  in  the  business  of 
instruction,  yet  these  public  relations  people  are 
outdoing  us  two  to  one.  It  is  unbelievable.  If 
only  our  classroom  teachers  can  develop  a  like 
proficiency,  we  will  make  a  greater  contribution 
to   the  education   of  children." 

What  better  situation  can  exist  in  any  school 
district  than  does  in  this  one?  Here  we  have  a 
superintendent  who  believes  in  resourceful 
people  and  also  we  have  the  kind  of  audiovisual 
director  who  believes  in  promoting  better  in- 
struction through  better  utilization  of  our  media. 
He  will  initiate  the  in-service  program  and  en- 
sure its  realistic  activities,  evalviation  and  con- 
tinual improvement. 

This  audiovisual  director  is  working  with  a 
staff  capable  and  eager  to  devise  ways  and  means 
and  with  the  power  of  meeting  all  situations. 
The  superintendent  has  a  philosophy  on  which 
to  establish  his  purpose.  The  audiovisual  direc- 
tor has  a  purpose  on  which  to  direct  his  actions. 

The  responsibility  for  in-service  training  in 
the  use  of  audiovisual  instructional  aids  involv- 
ing local  production,  individualization,  and 
adaptation  of  them  is  shared  by  these  three 
groups  in  these  ways. 

1.  The  administration  must  provide  the  neces- 
sary budget,  space,  and  time  required. 

2.  The  audiovisual  director  must  combine 
leadership,  technical  knowledge  and  teaching 
skills  into  a  program  to  do  the  job. 

3.  The  classroom  teachers  must  be  resource- 
ful and  accept  the  responsibility  to  become  pro- 
ficient in  proved  methods  of  instruction. 

No  items  are  so  often  overlooked  in  school 
districts  as  budgets  for  local  production,  and 
provisions  for  space  and  time  for  this  process. 
With  the  wealth  of  materials  and  equipment  to- 
day coupled  with  the  growing  interest  and  de- 
velopment of  educational  television,  the  con- 
ventional duplicating  machine  cannot  function 
as  the  sole  tool  of  production  for  the  classroom 
teacher. 

However,  such  a  budget  provision  can  be 
severely  jeopardized  if  demanded  and  acquired 
by  an  overly  ambitious  audiovisual  director  seek- 
ing funds  in  one  grand  bundle  for  every  con- 
ceivable activity.  Each  phase  of  this  production 
process  must  be  planned  and  developed  to  a 
point  of  merit  before  considering  additional 
money  for  expanded  activities. 

The  school  administration  should  require  and 
receive  a  well-planned  program  from  the  audio- 
visual director  before  allowing  any  budget  re- 
quest. Projections  into  future  years  should  ac- 
company the  request  to  acquaint  the  adminis- 
tration with  the  over-all  purpose  of  this  service. 

In  designing  the  audiovisual  center,  perma- 
nent space  must  be  provided  for  these  produc- 
tion processes.  All  potential  activities  should  be 
reckoned  with  in  this  [)lanning.  Preparing  and 
editing  recordings,  mounting  all  types  of  pic- 
tures, art  work,  design,  lettering,  making  dis- 
plays, projection  materials,  and  storage  for  sup- 


468 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  September,    1955 


plies,  tools  and  equipment  are  but  a  few. 

Time  for  utilization  of  this  space  must  be 
allowed  all  staff  members.  This  requires  co- 
operative scheduling  of  the  school  program  by 
the  administration,  audiovisual  director  and 
classroom  teachers. 

This  in-service  program  carried  on  for  the 
purpose  of  developing  skills  in  producing,  adapt- 
ing and  individualizing  audiovisual  media  will 
require  additional  funds,  temporary  space,  and 
provisions  for  staff  time  either  on  a  release  or 
volunteer  basis,  all  of  which  will  be  in  excess 
of  the  regular  budget-space-time  considerations. 

The  audiovisual  director  must  assume  the 
leadership  role  and  also  select  leadership  from 
the  professional,  commercial,  and  community 
pools.  His  job  is  to  organize  the  chosen  activities 
and  personnel  into  proper  sequence  which  will 
build  complete  and  lasting  skills.  He  is  the 
master  teacher. 

Good  planning  is  an  "about  face"  away  from 
the  usual  confusion-packed  workshop  style  which 
exhibits  everything  but  allows  proficiency  in 
nothing.  One  and  possibly  two  skills  should  be 
taught  at  a  time.  Thoroughness  in  learning  will 
replace  the  limited  acquaintance-with-all-media 
type  of  philosophy  if  this  is  done. 

Classroom  teachers  and  other  staff  members 
can  be  provided  with  introductory  learnings  in 
a  general  assembly  and  then  allowed,  with  proper 
instruction  and  practice,  to  become  proficient 
in  a  special  phase  of  production  by  scheduled 
use  of  the  regular  facilities.  These  skills  should 
be  applied  to  the  daily  instructional  program 
at  once.  This  builds  the  ability  of  the  teacher 
to  adapt   and   individualize   audiovisual   media. 

Thus,  the  skill  of  selecting  the  proper  media 
for  the  particular  teacher  and  the  particular  les- 
son must  follow  closely  behind  the  skill  of  pro- 
duction to  be  effective.  Eventually  these  should 
complement  one  another:  however,  this  is  very 
improbable  as  some  people  will  be  more  imagina- 
tive and  possess  more  organizational  than  tech- 
nical ability  and  some  will  develo]3  much  tech- 
nical skill  and  retain  their  limited  imagination. 

The  classroom  teachers  and  other  staff  mem- 
bers are  the  students.  Their  part  is  to  become 
intensively  interested  in  preparing  themselves  to 
be  better  teachers.  There  is  no  substitute  for  this 
desire  and  no  excuse  for  an  absence  of  it,   all 


other  factors  being  conducive.  Professionalism 
connotes  an  excellence  of  preparation,  of  skill 
and  knowledge,  of  desire  for  improvement. 

Local  production  is  in  itself  a  technical  process. 
However,  better  equipment,  materials  and  tools 
of  today  make  it  possible  to  enjoy  the  benefits 
of  this  activity  by  simply  focusing  attention  on 
the  "how"  with  only  a  little  knowledge  of  the 
"why"  being  necessary. 

Adaptation  of  audiovisual  media  is  based  on  a 
complete  knowledge  of  the  school  curriculum 
including  the  objectives  and  standards  adopted. 
This,  coupled  with  an  understanding  of  the  at- 
titudes, interests,  abilities,  and  capabilities  of 
the  pupils  being  taught,  the  physical  plant  facili- 
ties, and  the  available  materials  and  equipment, 
helps  govern  the  extent  and  manner  with  which 
the  media  are  modified  for  use. 

Individualization  applies  to  each  person's  pres- 
entation with  the  use  of  specific  media.  Although 
the  effectiveness  of  classroom  teaching  is  known 
to  be  dependent  upon  the  classroom  teacher's 
presentation  of  any  given  concept,  good  oppor- 
tunities have  been  overlooked  in  developing 
this  factor  and  especially  in  the  audiovisual  field. 
Possibly  this  is  what  the  audiovisual  director  im- 
plied when  he  spoke  of  the  effectiveness  of  the 
public  relations  people. 

To  achieve  any  measurable  success  in  this 
skill  of  individualizing  audiovisual  media,  both 
objective  and  subjective  examination  of  the 
classroom  teacher's  possibilities  must  be  made. 
A  determination  of  effective  presentation  would 
be  made  by  the  classroom  teacher,  results  indi- 
cated by  pupil  response,  and  by  the  judgment 
of  the  audiovisual  director  and  supervisors  based 
on  a  consultation  with  the  teacher,  and  examina- 
tion of  pupil  response,  and  an  observation  of 
the  teacher  at  work. 

A  greater  contribution  can  be  made  to  the 
education  of  children.  The  administration,  audio- 
visual director,  and  classroom  teachers  have  this 
responsibility.  Through  in-service  activities  pro- 
viding skills  in  production,  adaptation,  and  in- 
dividualization of  audiovisual  media,  this  con- 
tribution will  become  a  reality.  It  begins  with  a 
resourceful  teacher,  an  administration  that  can 
recognize  this  quality,  and  an  audiovisual  direc- 
tor who  knows  the  advantages  of  the  media  with 
which  he  works.

architectural  solutions  for  audiovisual  problems 


J.  N  the  Dade  County  (Miami,  Florida)  School 
System  the  Instructional  Materials  Department 
includes  audiovisual  services,  school  library  serv- 
ices, textbook  services,  the  professional  library 
and  the  distribution  services!  The  philosophy 
is  that  the  classroom  teacher  needs  to  be  able  to 
get  all  the  instructional  materials  she  needs  at 
one  location  in  the  building.  This  should  be  as 
nearly  central  as  possible.  For  that  reason,  in 
elementary  buildings,  the  Administrative  Area 
and  the  Instructional  Materials  Area  are  con- 
tinuing parts  of  the  same  building  wing.  This 
article  describes  a  representative  elementary 
school  materials  center. 

A  straight  line  flows  from  the  principal's  office 
through  the  secretarial  and  administrative  work 
area  to  the  teacher's  work  room,  the  materials 
work  area  and  on  through  the  library  and  con- 
ference areas.  Referring  to  the  drawing,  we 
consider  everything  (except  the  clinic)  begin- 
ning at  the  teachers'  work  space  and  extending 
through  the  library  workroom,  the  library  and 
conference  rooms,  as  the  Instructional  Materials 
Area  of  the  building.  There  is  a  similar  area  in 
every  elementary  school,  old  and  new.  A  lam- 
inated plastic  work  surface  extends  through  the 
teachers'  work  area  and  on  through  the  library, 
all  along  one  wall.  Underneath  this  work  sur- 
face are  storage  cabinets  with  at  least  two  knee 
spaces  having  the  work  surface  at  table  height. 
On  the  wall  opposite  this  work  surface  (which  is 
against  the  window  wall),  there  is  narrower  work 
surface,  again  with  cabinets  underneath  it,  and 
again  extending  on  into  the  library  workroom. 

The  teachers'  work  room  is  designed  to  enable 
teachers  to  construct  materials  of  their  own  with- 
out the  difficulty  that  would  be  entailed  in  lo- 
cating raw  materials,  bringing  them  together, 
finding  the  tools,  doing  the  work  in  their  own 
room  and  dispersing  tools  and  unused  materials. 

We  also  envisage  the  time  when  our  materials 
personnel  will  have  the  "know-how"  to  give  di- 
rect help  in  more  extensive  materials  construc- 
tion. 

Note  that  the  sink  is  in  a  projecting  construc- 
tion between  the  teachers'  work  area  and  the  li- 
brary work  area,  thus  serving  both.  The  tradi- 
tional library  area  has  been  planned  with  care- 
fully allocated  space  for  functional  shelving  de- 
signed for  the  material  to  be  stored.  Thus  we 
have  shelving  especially  for  accommodating  chil- 
dren's picture  books  with  their  odd  ouisizes,  for 
reference  works,  for  magazines,  for  atlases,  and 
of  course,  standard  book  shelves. 

When  new  schools  are  planned  and  construc- 
tion begins,  a  whole  series  of  related  activities 
begins  also.  For  each  level  —  elementary,  junior 
high  and  senior  high  —  there  is  the  purchasing 
of  a  definite  list  of  equipment  that  is  enumerated 
in  the  Board  of  Public  Instruction  Bulletin  31A'. 
There  is  also  the  purchasing  of  expendable  in- 
structional materials  and  equipment.  This  last 
includes  audiovisual  equipment  and  library 
books  that  are  centrally  processed.  When  school 
opens,  all  equipment  is  in  place,  the  processed 
library  books  are  on  the  shelves  and  the  catalog 


cards  are  in  the  catalog.  The  school  is  ready 
for  business. 

We  start  from  the  first  graded  to  indoctrinate 
children  in  seeking  authoritative  sources  for  an- 
swers to  their  questions,  believing  that  the  safety 
of  our  social  order  resides  in  all  citizens  so  in- 
doctrinated. The  aim  is  to  present  balanced 
viewpoints  through  careful  selection  of  mate- 
rials. Responsibility  for  the  selection  of  mate- 
rials appropriate  to  the  course  and  the  grade 
level  (aside  from  texts  which  are  State-adopted) 
resides  in  each  principal  and  his  faculty.  Selec- 
tion is  generally  a  "team-work"  situation  which 
avails  itself  of  expert  consultants  in  the  various 
fields. 

Also  we  start  from  the  first  grade  to  expose 
children  to  functional  training  in  the  use  of  the 
materials  centers  in  all  elementary  schools.  By 
the  time  children  finish  the  elementary  school 
they  are  at  ease  in  these  centers.  They  know 
the  organizational  plan  from  long  practice  in 
finding  their  own  materials  by  means  of  the  card 
catalog,  Readers'  Guide,  a  wide  range  of  refer- 
ence materials  (not  just  encyclopedias).  World 
Almanac,  books  of  quotations,  various  catalogs, 
etc.  They  know  the  type  of  information  offered 
by  each  encyclopedia.  "They  know  that  filmstrips 
can  be  viewed  individually  or  by  committees 
using  table  top  viewers;  that  "earphone"  record 
players   provide   a   multiplicity   of   experiences. 

To  us,  there  is  a  quiet  satisfaction  in  having 
public  library  people  call  us  for  help  in  regulat- 
ing public  school  child  demand  for  their  mate- 
rials. They  are  most  cooperative,  even  placing 
book  collections  in  our  schools  to  augment  our 
own.  To  say  we  appreciate  this  cooperation  is  to 
put  it  very  mildly. 

In  the  Administration  Building  there  are  other 
materials  on  which  teachers  can  draw.  There 
are  some  4000  titles  in  educational  motion  pic- 
tures, 4500  titles  in  filmstrips,  art  reproductions 
in  glare  proof,  laminated  plastic,  "satchel  mu- 
seums," models  of  many  kinds,  a  professional 
library  of  over  10,000  volumes.  Any  of  these 
items  can  be  requisitioned  and  are  then  deliv- 
ered or  picked  up  on  twice  weekly  deliveries. 
Teachers  may  also  borrow  35mm  still  cameras, 
16mm  motion  picture  cameras,  public  speaker 
systems  for  outdoor  events,  dry  mounting  presses, 
grommeting  machines,  etc.  Demand  for  all  these 
items  grows  continuously. 

Liason  with  teachers  is  through  the  materials 
personnel  in  each  school.  These  are  the  librarian 
and  an  audiovisual  representative.  Every  school 
has  the  services  of  a  trained  librarian,  most  of 
them  full-time.  We  are  moving  toward  having  a 
record  of  all  instructional  materials  in  a  school 
in  its  materials  center  card  catalog. 

We  credit  our  Administration  for  having  done 
a  wonderful  job  of  getting  our  public  and  our 
Board  of  Public  Instruction  to  support  this  pro- 
gram.   We  think  it  is  wonderful.

Vitalizing  Geography  Studies 


G 


(Reprinted  from  The  Journal  of  Geography,  December,  1958) 


EORGE  T.  RENNER  pointed  out  that 
geography  ".  .  .  is  one  of  the  most  difficult  things 
in  the  educative  process  to  teach."'  He  would 
agree  that  for  pupils  it  is  one  of  the  most  diffi- 
cult of  the  disciplines  to  learn.  One  facet  of  the 
difficulty,  for  teacher  and  pupil  alike,  involves 
the  problem  of  transcending  limited  experiences 
with  the  earth.  How  many  of  us,  for  example, 
have  scaled  the  high  Andean  peaks,  have  waded 
knee-deep  in  water  in  the  rice  paddies  of  Thai- 
land, have  slept  in  the  tent  of  the  Bedouin  of 
the  desert?  How  many  of  us  have  seen  the  wheat 
fields  of  Kansas,  the  ore  boats  of  Duluth,  the 
Statue  of  Liberty?  How  many  children  are  en- 
compassed by  a  world  whose  frame  extends  less 
than  50  miles  in  any  given  direction  from  the 
school's  doors? 

Educational  psychologists  have  pointed  out, 
that  to  do  our  job  and  do  it  well,  we  must  learn 
to  cultivate  the  child's  imagination,  we  must 
teach  the  correct  interpretation  of  pictures,  maps 
and  presumably  of  globes.2  These  are  all  aids 
in  transcending  the  student's  limited  earth  ex- 
periences. 

How  well  this  can  be  done  at  an  early  age  was 
recently  demonstrated  by  the  teachers  and 
pupils  of  Sen.  Robert  F.  Wagner  Junior  High 
School,  New  York  City,  in  their  fine  exhibit, 
"Georama  —  Geography  in  the  Global  Age."  The 
exhibit  took  ten  weeks  to  produce;  it  was  on 
display  for  a  month. 

A  visit  to  the  exhibition  was  one  to  delight 
the  teacher.  Student  guides  were  eager  to  ex- 
plain the  dioramas,  the  models,  and  the  work 
that  went  into  the  exhibit.  Youngsters  gazed  in 
awe  at  the  giant  six-foot  relief  globe  in  the  cen- 
ter of  the  room'  and  the  full-scale  model  of  the 
earth  satellite. "^  Interested  children,  having  al- 
ready learned  to  use  new  terms  —  seismology, 
oceanography,  International  Geophysical  Year  — 
in  class,  were  applying  them  in  the  Georama. 
One  lad  was  fascinated  by  the  diorama  entitled 
"How  the  Mongolians  Made  Camp,"  another  by 
"the  Face  of  the  Earth  as  Seen  from  the  Air," 
and  a  young  lady  was  admiring  "Architecture 
Around  the  World."  Maps  were  everywhere. 
Among  these  was  one  showing  the  contour  and 
its  significance.  Others  showed  the  importance 
of  location  to  Manhattan  Island,  the  distribution 
of  natural  rubber  around  the  earth,  and  trouble 
spots  in  the  Caribbean.  Also  included  in  the 
exhibit  were  at  least  30  small  globes,  each  used 
to  depict  a  significant  geographic  distribution  or 
concept  —  such  as  the  distribution  of  the  world's 
glacier  fields,  earthquake  areas,  member  stations 
of  the  I.G.Y.,  the  winds  and  currents,  the  routes 
followed  by  the  great  explorers,  and  the  world's 
major  religions. 

Nothing  was  done  haphazardly.    All  displays 


were  arranged  in  orderly  sequence.  Observers 
were  taken  first  through  "The  World  We  Know" 
where  emphasis  was  placed  on  maps,  map  read- 
ing, globes  and  the  study  of  the  natural  environ- 
ment, next  through  "The  World  We  Don't 
Know"  which  stressed  glaciology,  oceanography, 
the  upper  atmosphere,  the  significance  of  the 
I.G.Y.  and  the  polar  regions,  and  finally  through 
the  "Special  Exhibits"  featuring  the  giant  globe, 
the  model  of  the  earth  satellite,  cosmic  rays,  the 
operation  of  rocket  fuels  and  the  problems  of 
outer  space. 

Mr.  Charles  M.  Shapp,  Principal  at  Wagner, 
pointed  out  that  Georama  was  not  a  motivating 
force  for  the  study  of  world  geography  alone. 
"It  started,"  he  said,  "as  a  9th  grade  social  study 
activity  within  the  curriculum  framework  and 
mushroomed  by  student  enthusiasm  to  encom- 
pass virtually  all  classes  including  science,  liter- 
ature and  art." 

When  asked  which  of  the  tools  was  most  use- 
ful to  them  during  the  course  of  the  exhibit 
students  invariably  replied,  "The  small  globe." 
Its  possibilities  for  the  educative  process  intrigued 
me  from  the  start. 

We  are  all  aware  of  the  place  that  the  globe 
holds  in  geographic  education.  We  all  know,  too, 
that  the  ordinary  multiprinted  globe  suffers  from 
one  serious  limitation.  It  does  not  convey  to  the 
child  the  true  picture  of  the  earth's  land  surface. 
Mountains,  river  valleys,  spacious  canyons  and 
other  topographical  forms  have  been  reduced  to 
a  single  dimension  —  to  the  smooth  surface.  And 
from  this  smooth  representation  of  the  earth  the 
student  has  been  expected  to  grasp  what  the 
earth's  surface  is  really  like  —  to  discover  the 
fundamental  relationships  between  topography 
and  weather  and  climate,  the  influence  of  ter- 
rain on  historic  migration  routes,  on  land  utili- 
zation, on  trade.  All  too  often  these  are  mental 
leaps  too  difficult  for  the  youngster  in  the  grades 
to  bridge.  It  is  asking  the  smooth  surface  globe 
to  perform  a  task  which  it  is  incapable  of  per- 
forming. 

The  12  inch  relief  globe,  which  really  sparked 
the  Georama,  has  bridged  that  gap. 5  It  is  a  white 
unmarked  project  globe  that  portrays  the  world 
land  surface  in  three-dimensional  relief.''  Made 
of  plastic  in  two  hemispheres  to  permit  "team" 
work,  it  is  designed  for  the  student  to  paint  his 
study  on  the  surface  with  poster  colors,  and  be- 
cause it  is  washable,  they  paint  without  fear  of 
making  irreparable  errors.  The  excitement  of 
the  children  as  they  become  aware  of  the  signifi- 
cance of  the  earth's  relief  features  in  their  study 
is  a  rewarding  one  to  observe.  This  is  true  ex- 
periential learning. 

Student  reactions  to  Georama  were  recorded 
in  essays  written  soon  after  the  exhibit  closed. 
Mason  Bernard,  8th  grader,  states,  "Georama  is

by  Daniel  Jacobson 


The  Georama  means  increased  student  participation. 


a  wonderful  example  of  what  we  (junior  high 
school  students)  can  do."  Mason  helped  to  pre- 
pare the  diorama  "The  Earth  as  Seen  from  the 
Air."  "It  was  made  of  cardboard,  rags,  and  plas- 
ter of  paris.  I  also  helped  by  painting  some  of 
the  globes.  Most  of  the  kids  in  my  class  helped 
with  something."  Richard  Weisberg,  9th  grader, 
states,  the  Georama  ".  .  .  has  helped  many  par- 
ents, teachers,  students  and  guests  to  learn  about 
how  man  lives  all  over  the  earth.  The  colorful 
way  in  which  it  was  done  added  to  its  effective- 
ness and  its  beauty.  The  task  of  making  the  ex- 
hibits, the  excitement  of  the  display,  the  pub- 
licity, and  the  originality  of  the  georama  made 
it  a  huge  and  wonderful  success."  Sofa  Khalidi, 
8th  grader,  was  impressed  with  the  fact  that  ".  .  . 
it  helps  the  teachers  too,  it  helps  to  get  them 
more  involved  with  their  pupils  and  to  know 
them  better.  Perhaps  the  most  profoimd  state- 
ment comes  from  Dennis  Miller,  9th  grader, 
"This  Georama  has  made  a  deep  impression  on 
me.  I  am  taking  a  more  serious  interest  in  geog- 
raphy and  science." 

Mr.  Shapp  is  convinced  as  a  result  of  Georama 
that  there  is  a  latent,  unsatisfied  interest  among 
students  in  the  world  in  which  they  live,  that 
given  the  proper  tools  students  can  be  urged  to 
probe  much  deeper  into  the  subject  of  geography 
than  had  previously  been  suspected.  The  Princi- 
pal was  assured  by  participating  teachers  that  all 
courses  of  study  had  been  immeasurably  enriched. 

Mr.  Shapp  added  that  three  things  had  been 
learned  as  a  result  of  Georama:  1)  that  students 
are  tremendously  excited  with  the  study  of  ge- 


ography when  it  is  made  visually  concrete,  2)  a 
clearer  understanding  of  the  geographic  base  en- 
riches the  history,  current  events  and  science 
courses,  3)  that  such  an  undertaking  stimulates 
teachers  to  experiment  with  and  perfect  inter- 
esting new  techniques  in  teaching. 

For  my  own  part,  I  am  convinced  that  Geo- 
rama at  the  Robert  Wagner  Junior  High  School 
pointed  to  a  new  means  of  orientation  for  edu- 
cators in  supplying  what  may  well  be  an  answer 
to  the  search  for  concrete  methods  to  introduce 
world  understanding  in  the  curriculum.  I  am 
convinced  that  similar  studies  at  the  elementary 
level  would  demonstrate  even  more  dramatically 
the  readiness  level  of  the  "television  age"  child. 
At  the  high  school  level  I  am  sure  it  would  fa- 
cilitate in  much  greater  depth  the  study  of  world 
geography  and  its  allied  disciplines  so  urgently 
demanded  of  our  students  today.

One  Remedy  for 
Reading  Problems 


hy  J.  Ralph  Kemp 


Private  School  experiment  shows 
benefits  of  systematic,  scientific 
reading  training 


w, 


ith  the  national  concern  over 
reading  tlilficulties  frequently  ap- 
proaching hysteria,  it  is  important 
to  note  that  experimental  work  is 
being  done  in  the  field  of  reading 
improvement  and  that  it  is  being 
done  carefully,  scientifically  and  is 
showing  results. 

One  such  project  was  carried 
out  thning  the  summer  of  1958  at 
The  Hinman  School  in  Atlanta, 
Georgia.  The  study-experiment  was 
inidertaken  to  determine  the  effects 
—  and  the  indications  for  future 
instruction  —  of    Controlled    Read-

ing  Training  when  used  as  an  in- 
tegral part  of  a  remedial  and  a 
speed   improvement   program. 

The  Hinnian  School  is  uniquely 
suited  by  its  program  and  facilities 
to  carry  out  such  an  experiment 
siucessfully.  It  is  a  private  school 
ollering  elementary  and  high  school 
instruction  with  emphasis  on  read- 
ing. In  addition,  special  services 
are  available  for  psychological  test- 
ing, coiuiseling,  speed  reading  and 
an  enriched  program  for  students 
of  above  average  ability,  .'\fter 
regidar  school  hours  50  or  more 
students,  enrolled  in  the  public 
schools,  rc])ort  for  special  reading 
instruction. 

The  'li  students  who  participated 
in  the  ex])eriment  were  selected 
through  interview  techniques.  They 
ranged  in  age  from  13  to  17  years. 
For  jMirposes  of  the  experiment, 
they  were  divided  into  two  groups 
—  Ciroup  .\,  made  up  of  students 
deficient  in  both  rate  and  compre- 
hension, and  Ciroup  H,  made  up  of 
students  who  definitely  needed  to 
increase  their  reading  speed,  but 
showed  little  or  no  deficiency  in 
comprehension. 

Before  the  work  began,  Group 
A  was  tested  with  the  Iowa  Silent 
Reading  test.  Elementary  Battery, 
I'orm  AM,  and  Grouj)  B  with  the 
y\tlvanced  Battery,  Forni  AM. 
Thus,  the  experimenters  had  a 
reliable  base  from  which  they  could 
measure  improvement. 

The  iiistnu  tion  for  both  groups 
was  (oiiducted  during  32  hours 
over  a  period  of  six  weeks;  20% 
of  the  time  was  used  in  controlled 
reading  training,  the  remainder  in 
practical  reading,  study  skills  and 
different  ])hases  of  word  study  suit- 
able to  the  pal  titular  group.  The 
training  was  carried  out  somewhat 
differently  for  the  two  groups  since 
for  Group  A  it  was  essentially  re- 
medial, whereas  for  Group  B  it 
was  essentially   rate   oriented. 

Group  A  was  given  15  minutes 
of  Tach-X  tachistoscopic  training 
every  other  session,  aimed  primarily 
at  vo(abiilary  developments.  It  was 
combined  with  exerci.ses  in  a  7th 
grade  spelling  text.  Controlled 
Reader  training  was  given  for  20 
minutes  every  other  session  with 
the  rate  of  presentation  strictly  ad- 
justed to  the  average  comprehen- 
sion of  this  group.  .Small  increases 
in  rate  were  made  only  when  com- 
prehension was  considerably  above 
average. 

For  Group  B  this  was  combined 
with  8th  grade  exercises.  Controlled 
Reading  training,  also  20  minutes 
every  oilier  session,  was  essentially

different  from  the  method  used  for 
Group  A.  The  rate  of  presentation 
on  the  Controlled  Reader  was  in- 
creased regularly,  as  rapidly  as  the 
level  of  comprehension  permitted. 
During  the  last  few  sessions  the 
rate  was  adjusted  to  exceed  the 
capabilities  of  the  group. 

As  an  intermediate  check  on 
progress,  the  Beta  Form  (approxi- 
mately 8th  grade  reading  level)  of 
the  Otis  Quick  Scoring  Test  of 
Mental  Maturity  was  administered 
to  both  groups.  During  the  fourth 
week  the  Gamma  Form  (approxi- 
mately 10th  grade  reading  level)  of 
the  Otis  was  administered.  Finally 


both  groups  took  the  Otis  test  again 
at  the  end  of  the  experiment. 

Marked  increases  in  both  rate 
and  comprehension  were  achieved 
in   both   groups. 

Proportionately,  the  remedial 
group  made  a  greater  increase  in 
comprehension  than  in  rate. 

Although  it  would  be  expected 
that  scores  on  the  Otis  would  drop 
when  the  more  difficult  Gamma 
Form  was  administered  within  a 
week  of  testing  on  the  Beta  Form, 
scores  for  the  remedial  group  re- 
mained essentially  the  same,  while 
the  speed  reading  group  actually 
improved  6.9  points.

CRITERIA 

FOR  AV 
EQUIPMENT 


HE  audiovisual  instructional  field  is  grow- 
ing so  rapidly  that  nearly  everyone  connected 
with  it  is  immersed  in  problems  of  expansion, 
expenses  and,  especially,  explanation  to  the  pub- 
lic. One  is  struck  by  the  several  hundred  articles 
published  and  indexed  for  the  past  few  years 
extolling  the  virtues  of  audiovisual.  Most  are 
quite  interesting  in  a  general  sort  of  way,  but 
there  seems  to  be  a  decided  scarcity  of  articles 
written  on  practical  matters  and  on  solving  prob- 
lems encountered  in  setting  up  an  AV  program. 

It  is  no  secret  that  the  AV  Commission  on 
Public  Information,  which  is  composed  of  the 
representatives  of  major  national  AV  groups,  has 
recently  recommended  that  a  minimum  of  one 
percent  of  each  county's  school  budget  be  used 
for  audiovisual  purposes  and  that  the  equip- 
ment allotment  should  consist  of  at  least  16mm 
sound  projectors,  filmstrip  and  2  x  2"  slide  pro- 
jectors (combination),  opaque  projectors,  and 
tape  recorders  in  amounts  of  at  least  one  per 
school  building  or  per  300  students  (approxi- 
mately). They  also  suggested  one  record  player 
for  each  kindergarten  and  elementary  school 
class  or  at  least  two  per  building,  and  at  least 
one  overhead  projector  for  every  two  classrooms. 

The  position  of  the  person  or  persons  whose 
responsibility  it  is  to  have  equipment  available 
for  classroom  use  may  vary  somewhat  from 
county  to  county,  but  what  really  varies  are  the 
styles  and  workings  of  equipment  and  the  prob- 
lems concerned  with  choosing  from  what  is 
manufactured. 

Accordingly,  many  of  these  persons,  rather 
than  feel  bewildered  or  possibly  just  to  benefit 
from  a  discount  offer,  are  inclined  to  "identify" 
the  county  with  or  standardize  it  on  a  particular 
brand  or  trademark.  They  do  not  first  investi- 
gate the  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  com- 
parable makes  to  avoid  sorrow  afterward. 

In  1954,  Schulleri  noted  that  there  were  43 
models  of  16mm  sound  projectors,  77  tape  re- 
corders, 48  opaque  and  overhead  projectors,  44 
filmstrip  projectors  and  77  tape  recorder  models. 
A  check  five  years  later  reveals  that  there 
are  now  at  least  47  16mm  sound  projectors, 
fewer  but  more  involved  opaque  and  overhead 
projectors,  105  filmstrip  and  slide  silent  or  sound 
projector  models,   170  record  and  transcription

players  and  tape  recorders,  22  special  purpose 
projectors,  42  styles  of  projector  stands  and  carts, 
59  styles  of  projector  screens  and  several  other 
kinds  of  equipment.  Considering  the  substantial 
funds  which  must  be  spent  to  purchase  this 
equipment,  the  responsible  officials  should  have 
a  ready  means  of  determining  the  really  worth- 
while from  the  mediocre  to  get  the  best  for 
their  expense. 

There  has  been  an  attempt  in  the  following 
pages  to  draw  together  information  from  various 
AV  specialists  and  from  sources  listed  below, 
adding  what  was  thought  helpful  and  logical, 
and  sum  it  up  for  the  purpose  of  presenting  to 
those  persons  charged  with  buying  AV  equipment 
certain  pertinent  and  non-technical  criteria  of 
choice  and  acceptance  for  their  consideration  and 
assistance.  Most  of  the  criteria  apply  to  all  types 
of  equipment,  while  those  which  pertain  to  only 
one  kind  are  so  worded  and  designated.  It  was 
decided  not  to  include  those  criteria  which  were 
obvious  or  meant  little,  such  as  "Does  it  suit 
the  purpose  for  which  it  will  be  used"  or  "Is 
there  a  supply  of  material  to  be  used  with  the 
projector." 

DEMONSTRATION  CRITERIA 

1.  Is  the  room  being  used  for  demonstrating 
typical  of  most  classrooms  in  which  equipment 
will  be  used? 

2.  Is  the  room  used  the  same  one  each  time? 
(This  is  to  check  over-all  comparative  features 

such  as  sound  reproduction,  projector  noise,  etc.) 

3.  Are  the  same  screen  and  same  materials 
(e.g.  film,  record)  being  used  for  all  comparative 

demonstrations? 

4.  Is  each  demonstrated  piece  of  equipment 
or  each  salesman  given  equal  time  for  presenta- 
tion and  consideration? 

5.  Are  the  persons  who  are  evaluating  the 
demonstration  given  an  individual  opportunity 
to  examine,  set  up,  operate,  pack  up,  and  lift 
or  move  about  the  piece  of  equipment  under 
consideration? 

6.  Are  you  aware,  when  planning  a  demonstra- 
tion session,  that  the  only  true  evaluation  is 
made  by  simultaneously  comparing  makes  of 
the  same  type  of  equipment  on  separate  but 
similar  screens? 

7.  Are  each  of  the  evaluators  provided  with 
an  appraisal  sheet  which  lists  the  criteria  on 
the  next  pages?

The  first  part  of  a  set  of  appraisal 
standards  forjudging  equipment. 
More  detailed  criteria  will  follow. 


general  selection 
c:riterl\ 

\.  Prior  Investigation 

a.  Have  you  visited  other  schools 
or  otherwise  investigated  the  per- 
formance of  their  equipment  and 
their  experiences  with  several  dif- 
ferent kinds  so  you  may  be  espe- 
cially watchful  for  the  inherent 
problems? 

b.  Have  you  compared  reports 
from  the  people  you  have  visited 
and  other  reports  that  you  have 
heard? 

c.  Are  you  keeping  an  open 
mind  on  makes  of  equipment  until 
after  your  evaluation  has  been 
made? 

d.  Have  you  investigated  the 
dealer's  reliability  through  the  Bet- 
ter Business  Bureau,  or  similar  or- 
ganization? 

II.  Construction  of  Equipment 

a.  Does  the  equipment  appear 
rugged  and  durable  and  does  it 
rest  solidly  on  its  feet,  or  is  there 
some  wobbling? 

b.  Is  the  case,  including  hinge 
system,  sturdy  and  well-fitted,  or 
can  the  sides  be  pressed  in  and  are 
some  difficulties  encountered  when 
putting  the  cover  back  on  with  all 
parts  inside  which  should  be  there? 

c.  Have  you  investigated  the  ad- 
vantages of  the  company's  premi- 
um,  or   high   quality,   equipment? 

(A  little  extra  spent  now  may  save 
more  dollars  and  much  heartache 
later  on.) 

d.  Does  the  equipment  have  an 
Underwriters  Laboratory  label? 

e.  Is  this  a  new,  untried  variety 
of  equipment  which  has  not  been 
thoroughly  tested  by  other  persons 
through  long  use? 

f.  Are  you  concentrating  on  one 
type  of  cquijjment  to  the  blind  ex- 
clusion  of   others?    (It   is    easy    to 


examine  and  use  only  one  kind  of 
equipment,  but  this  is  passing  up  a 
great  field  of  other  worthwhile 
audio  and  visual  aids.) 

g.  Do  you  have  a  long-range  ac- 
quisition plan  in  mind,  such  as 
starting  with  what  your  school 
needs  most,  or  a  certain  number  of 
"these"  units  and  then  "those" 
units  to  balance  the  needs,  or  possi- 
bly some  other  plan?  (The  type  of 
plan  is  not  as  important  as  is  hav- 
ing one.) 

III.  Threading 

a.  Is  there  easy,  uncomplicated 
threading? 

b.  Is  there  a  threading  diagram 
or  chart  permanently  fixed  in  an 
obvious  place? 

c.  If  the  projector  is  not  prop- 
erly threaded,  will  the  sprockets 
tear  or  break  the  film?  (Some 
makes  will  not  function  if  improp- 
erly threaded,  thereby  reducing  film 
damage.) 

d.  Are  the  sprocket  points  in 
perfect  shape,  or  are  one  or  more 
points  slightly  damaged,  bent  or 
missing?  (Even  on  a  new  projector, 
this  is  conceivable.  Examine  the 
sprocket  holes  on  the  film  which 
was  used  for  the  demonstration. 
This  will  tell  the  tale  for  everything 
but  missing  points  which  can  be 
found  by  touching  or  looking  at  the 
sprockets.) 

e.  Is  the  film  path,  especially 
in  the  gate,  of  sufficient  quality  that 
it  will  allow  splices  to  pass  through 
satisfactorily  without  loss  of  loop 
or  damage  to  film  or  film  surfaces? 

IV.  Controls 

a.  Generally  speaking,  are  all 
controls    simple,    properly    labeled 

(preferably  stamped  on  a  separate 
plate),  conveniently  located  and 
easy  to  reach  from  operator's  seat 
even  with  projector  operating? 

b.  Does  it  have  an  easily  accessi- 


ble and  adjustable  framing  device? 

c.  Is  there  an  uncomplicated, 
power-driven  rewind  workable  with- 
out changing  the  belts  or  reels? 

d.  Is  the  elevation  control  easy 
to  locate  and  does  it  work  smoothly, 
or  are  the  crank  and/or  lock  and 
release  buttons  widely  separated 
which  allows  the  support  bar  to 
shoot  out  when  adjusted  like  a 
knuckle  duster? 

V.  Illumination,  Lens  and  Pro- 
jection Lamp 

a.  Was  the  projector  operated 
without  film  or  projection  material 
to  test  for  sharpness  of  focus  and 
lack  of  fuzzing  at  the  edge  of  the 
lighted  screen  area,  and  for  even- 
ness of  illumination  over  its  entire 
surface? 

b.  Was  the  projector  at  right 
angles  horizontally  to  the  screen 
and  perpendicular  to  its  center  for 
the  illumination  testing  to  be  valid? 

c.  Are  the  projection  bulbs  used 
in  each  demonstration  of  the  same 
rated  voltage  and  wattage  and  com- 
pletely new  for  fairest  evaluation? 
(New  lamps  should  be  used  for 
testing  since  the  older  ones  have 
less  illumination.) 

d.  Is  the  same  focal  length  lens 
being  used  in  each  demonstration? 
(This  can  mean  everything  in  com- 
paring brightness  on  the  screen.) 

e.  Is  the  quality  or  color  of  the 
light  on  the  screen  whitish  or  blu- 
ish, or  does  it  show  poor  lens 
qualities  with  rainbow  effects  or 
yellowish  light,  which  is  caused 
by  chromatic  aberration  in  the 
lens? 

f.  Do  ripples  or  stationary  waves 
of  light  show  on  the  screen?  (This 
is  due  again  to  chromatic  aberra- 
tion, denoting  poor  lens  grinding 
or  quality.) 

g.  Have  you  taken  a  light  meter 
reading  at  the  center  and  at  least 
four    corners,    and    perhaps    other 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide  —  September,    1959 


477 


equi-distant  points,  of  the  screen 
to  see  if  they  read  the  same?  (Some- 
times one  whole  side  will  test  un- 
desirably weaker.) 

h.  Did  you  use  the  light  meter 
to  test  also  for  general  minimum 
intensity  of  illumination  at  the 
screen?  (The  foot  candles  are  the 
important  determining  factors  and 
mean  more  than  the  rated  wattage 
of  the  set.  The  reflector  polish,  con- 
denser system,  efficiency  and  new- 
ness of  the  bulb,  quality  of  the  lens 
and  size  of  the  aperature  in  a  low 
wattage  set  may  be  better  than  that 
in  a  higher  wattage,  more  expen- 
sively priced  and  operated  set;  high- 
er wattage  may  mean  just  higher 
electric  bills.  Check  the  standards 
and  ratings  listed  below  for  each 
machine.) 

i.  If  no  light  meter  is  available, 
to  check  overall  power,  have  you 
consulted  the  suggested  power  rat- 
ings in  watts  listed  below  for  each 
machine? 

j.  When  using  film  or  projection 
material,  is  the  image  as  clear  and 
sharply  focused  at  the  edges  as  at 
the  center?  (If  not,  then  this  is  the 
astigmatic   fault   of   the   lens.) 

k.  Is  there  provision  or  a  meth- 
od for  cleaning  the  gate,  the  aper- 
ture plate,  and   the  lens  on   both

ends  or  sides? 

1.  Can  the  projection  bulb  be 
changed  easily? 

VI.  Cooling  and  Overheating 

a.  Does  the  cooling  fan  turn  on 
automatically  with  the  projection 
switch,  or  at  least  with  the  lamp 
switch? 

b.  After  having  operated  the 
machine  without  projection  mate- 
rial for  at  least  30  minutes,  does 
any  exterior  part  of  the  projector 
housing  (except  the  top  of  the 
lamp  house)  show  an  increase  in 
operating  temperature  of  over  50° 
above  the  ambient  (room  air)  tem- 
perature? (This  can  be  determined 
by  thermometer  readings  from  con- 
tacting various  parts  of  the  case 
and  the  aperture  plate.) 

VII.  Sound 

a.  Do  the  materials  used  in  the 
equipment  being  tested  have  a  wide 
range  of  sound,  voice  and  music 
by  which  to  judge  the  quality  of 
the  apparatus? 

b.  Are  there  two  tone  controls 
(treble  and  bass)? 

c.  Is  there  an  objectionable 
hum  when  operating  with  the  am- 
plifier turned  on  only  half  way  to 
full  volume?  (This  hum  should  be 
no  more  than  2  decibels.) 

d.  Does  the  amplifier  have  a 
power  rating  of  12  watts,  and  cer- 
tainly not  lower  than  7  watts,  with 
low  impedance  input  for  micro- 
phone? (The  latter  refers  to  low 
resistance  in  the  microphone  cord, 
or  use  of  a  shorter  cord.) 

e.  Do  the  speakers  have  more 
than  2  decibels  of  sound  distortion? 

f.  If  a  high  fidelity  arrangement 
is  being  tested,  are  there  three  sizes 
of  speakers  to  handle  the  ranges  of 
tones?  (To  be  true  high-fidelity, 
there  must  be  a  4-8"  speaker,  the 
"mid-range,"  for  medium  ranges, 
a  2-4"  speaker  called  a  tweeter,  for 
the  high  tones,  and  a  10-15"  speak- 
er, called  a  woofer,  to  handle  low 
tones.  Also  to  be  true  high-fidelity, 
each  speaker  must  be  physically 
separated  from  the  sound  source  to 
avoid   vibrations.) 

VIII.  Projector  Noise 

a.  When  the  projector  is  running 
without  the  amplifier,  is  a  person 
near  the  projector  easily  able  to 
hear  another  person  standing  or 
sitting  close  to  the  screen  while  in 
a  typical  classroom? 

b.  Is  the  projector  noise  dis- 
turbing or  does  it  drown  out  con- 
versation in  any  part  of  the  room? 

IX.  Oiling,  Maintenance,  Clean- 
ing and  Storage 

a.  Are  the  oiling  holes  centrally 


located  or  at  least  easily  accessible? 
(If  the  machine  has  nylon  gears,  do 
not  oil  them  because  you  will  ruin 
them;  they  are  also  practicaly  noise- 
less.) 

b.  Are  commonly  consumable 
parts  such  as  projection  bulbs  and 
amplifier  tubes  housed  in  sucii  a 
way  as  to  enable  an  unskilled  per- 
son to  replace  them  witli  case  and 
without  use  of  tools?  (The  cover 
over  the  amplifier  tubes  should  be 
easily  removable.) 

c.  Do  the  areas  where  there  is 
the  most  vital  need  for  cleanliness, 
such  as  lens  and  film  channel,  have 
provision  lor  removal  of  debris?  (A 
lint  brush  should  be  able  to  be 
pushed  through  for  cleaning.) 

d.  Do  the  various  components 
of  the  equipment  fit  together  with 
ease,  and  does  the  case  provide 
compete  physical  coverage  so  that 
dust  and  grime  deposits  are  kept 
to  a  minimum? 

X.  Portability 

a.  If  carrying  the  set  will  be  a 
permanent  practice,  is  the  weight 
low  enough  so  carrying  is  not  diffi- 
cult, and  does  the  handle  appear 
and  feel  strong  enough  to  hold  up 
over  the  years?  (The  better  plan  is, 
of  course,  to  provide  a  metal  cart 
on  which  the  projector  can  be 
rolled  around  even  by  elementary 
pupils.) 

b.  Does  the  general  shape  of  the 
equipment  make  it  possible  or 
nearly  impossible  to  move  it 
through  classroom  doors  with  com- 
plete ease? 

c.  Have  you  calculated  the  diffi- 
culty or  lack  of  it  that  students 
may  have  setting  up  and  putting 
away    the    particular    equipment? 

(More  and  more  today,  students, 
even  in  the  sixth  grade,  are  learn- 
ing to  operate  equipment  unaided 
in  the  classroom  while  on  free 
time.) 

XI.  Available  Service 

a.  Is  factory  service  available 
within  a  reasonable  vicinity  or  is 
the  vendor  able  to  furnish  author- 
ized factory  repair  service  for  the 
equipment  within  the  state  or 
closely  adjoining  state  in  which  it 
is  for  sale? 

b.  Does  he  maintain  a  stock  of 
consumable  items  such  as  lamps, 
tubes,  belts,  switches,  line  plugs 
and  electrical  cords  which  may  be 
of  special  make  and  not  otherwise 
obtainable? 

c.  Is  the  vendor  able  and  will- 
ing to  furnish  loan  equipment  upon 
reasonable  notice  of  need  while 
school  equipment  undergoes  re- 
pairs?

AUDIO 


by  Max   V.  Bilderaee 


With  an 

"Ear  to  the  Ground" 

at  NAVA 

Wv  went  to  hear  the  AUDIO  part  of 
ilu  National  AUDIO-Visual  Associ- 
;iiii)ii  Convention  and  exhibit.  Tradi- 
iKiii.illy,  the  NAVA  sliow  is  designed 
to  introduce  new  materials  and  new 
e(|iii])ment  to  the  dealers.  It  is  the 
trade-show  wherein  the  manufacturers 
and  the  dealers  seek  each  other  out  to 
cx])lore  new  avenues  of  association. 

VVe  were  disappointed  but  not  sur- 
prised to  find  diat  the  emphasis  in 
audio  is  still  on  things  —  machines  — 
ecpiipment,  and  not  on  materials. 
There  were  manv  interesting  exhibits 
featuring  record  jjlayers.  tape  re- 
corder/reproducers, language  labor- 
atories—the gamut  of  audio  equip- 
ment. There  were  but  two  exhibits 
stressing  the  audio  materials  of  in- 
struction. 

W'e  were  delighted  that  these  booths 
were  continually  crowded  —  solid  evi- 
ilence  that  there  is  great  dealer  and 
idiool  interest  in  appropriate  ma- 
terials—and we  hope  that  this  interest 
will  he  translated  into  introducing  the 
instructional  materials  demonstrated 
to  those  who  were  unable  to  be  at 
the  NAVA  show  to  hear  for  them.selves. 
rhe  importance  of  materials  is 
mirrored  in  the  comment  of  one 
audiovisual  dealer  from  the  south  who 
toltl  me,  "I'm  sure  interested  in  records. 
That  represented  my  biggest  single 
line  of  sales  last  year." 

rhe  recordings  demonstrators  were 
Folkways  (117  West  46th  Street,  New 
York  36)  who  are  both  producers  and 
distributors;  and  the  Wible  Language 
Institute  (Hamilton  Law  Building, 
Allcntown,   Pennsylvania). 

Mr.  Moses  y\sch  brought  with  him 
samples  from  his  tremendously  broad 
and  useful  collection  of  recordings.  The 
FOI.KVVAY.S  library  is  without  doubt 
the  largest  library  of  its  type  in  Amer- 
ica, and  schools  and  school  personnel, 
as  well  as  libraries  and  their  personnel, 
should  be  intimately  acc|uainted  with 
the  depth  and  breadth  of  this  unusual 
f  ii!;ilog. 

We  noted  many  new  titles  displayed 
here  for  the  first  time  for  educators, 
and  dealers  alike.  .Among  them  were 
such  intriguing  titles  as  "Pica.sso,"  "O, 
Canada, Ihe  Glory  of  Negro  His- 
tory," "Robin  Hood  Ballads,"  "The 
Changing    F.nglish    Language,"    "Early 


English  Poetry"  and  "Learning  as  We 
Play." 

The  Folkways  catalog  is  divided  into 
such  sub-headings  as  "Americana," 
"Songs  of  the  States,"  "American  His- 
torical," "Music,  U.S.A.,"  "World 
Historical,"  "Ethnic  Library,"  "Amer- 
ican Documentary,"  "Science"  and 
many  other  areas  including  language 
recordings  (Spanish,  French,  Mandarin 
and  English),  folk  tales  and  music  for 
children,  religious  recordings,  music 
instruction  and  literature.  Somewhere 
in  this  collection  there  is  a  variety 
of  material  suitable  for  instruction  at 
every  grade  level  and  in  every  school. 

If  you  do  not  know  the  Folkways 
collection,  we  urge  that  you  become 
acquainted  with   it. 

Mr.  ,\sch  produces  recordings  and 
distributes  them.  Mr.  Wible,  on  the 
other  hand,  is  a  recordings  distributor 
through  his  Wible  Language  Institute. 
.-\lthough  his  catalog  indicates  a 
specialization  in  recordings,  tapes,  film- 
strips  and  slides  as  well  as  other  devices 
and  materials  in  the  foreign  language 
area  we  foresee  expansion  because  the 
catalog  offers  recordings  in  music  and 
literature  as  well.  And  the  latter  were 
prominently  displayed  in  the  booth  at 
Chicago. 

There  were  other  exhibits  specializ- 
ing in  audiovisual  material.  Jam 
Handy  (2821  East  Grand  Boulevard, 
Detroit  11,  Michigan)  was  there  with 
their  catalog  of  filmstrips  and  filmstrip 
recording  sets.  Tliese  deal,  as  all  in- 
structional materials  people  know,  in 
the  variety  of  areas  of  teaching  in  our 


schools.  In  this  year  of  the  NDEA 
Science  and  Mathematics  are  not  over- 
stressed  to  the  detriment  of  other  as- 
pects of  the  course  of  study. 

McGraw-Hill  (330  West  42  Street, 
New  York  36)  was  there,  too.  They 
announced  as  of  July  seventeenth  that 
two  new  sets  of  sound  filmstrips  will 
be  ready  in  September,  1959.  These 
are  titled  "Spanish  for  Elementary 
Schools"  and  "French  for  Elementary 
Schools"  and  are  designed,  "to  meet 
the  specific  needs  of  the  rapidly  grow- 
ing number  of  elementary  schools  with 
foreign  language  instruction  pro- 
grams." 

Each  filmstrip  tells  a  simple  story  of 
the  activities  of  American  children. 
The  action  unfolds  on  the  screen  while 
the  accompanying  recording  tells  the 
story  in  simple  alien  vocabulary.  The 
story  is  repeated  with  simple  alien 
captions  superimposed  on  the  pictures 
so  that  students  may  hear  and  then 
see  the  language.  It  is  essential,  we 
believe,  that  a  third  step  be  introduced 
by  the  teacher  —that  of  speaking.  Hear- 
ing —  Seeing  —  Speaking  are  all  de- 
sirable in  this  level  of  learning. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  this  initial, 
and  perhaps  tentative,  step  in  the  di- 
rection of  supplying  foreign  language 
teaching  materials  for  elementary 
schools  will  be  followed  by  new  and 
additional  materials  as  time  progresses. 
Indeed,  foreign  language  instruction 
for  a  short  period  time  in  the  elemen- 
tary school  may  be  wasted.  It  is  essen- 
tial that  a  contiuum  of  learning  ex- 
periences based  on  sound  instructional 
materials  be  offered  to  elementary 
schools  if  the  present  trend  towards 
beginning  foreign  language  instruction 
early  in  the  school  career  is  not  to 
become  one  of  the  great  failures  of 
modern  education. 

Another  leading  materials  exhibitor 
was  Eye  Gate  House,  Inc.  (146-01 
Archer    Avenue,    Jamaica     35,    N.Y.),

showing  a  variety  of  educational  film- 
strips  and  associated  phonograph  rec- 
ords. Linguaphone  (30  Rockefeller 
Plaza,  New  York  20)  was  represented 
and  was  showing  their  particular  line 
of  recordings  designed  for  language  in- 
struction. 

There  was  a  variety  of  audio  equip- 
ment on  display.  Record  players,  tape 
recorder/reproducers  and  radios  were 
to  be  seen.  Among  the  exhibitors  show- 
ing this  type  of  equipment  were  such 
well  known  names  as  Ampex  Audio 
(1020  Kifer  Road,  Sunnyvale,  Cal- 
ifornia) showing  tape  recorders  and 
the  Ampex  Corporation  (934  Charter 
Street,  Redwood  City,  Cal.)  showing 
tape  recording  equipment.  Others 
showing  specialized  audio  recording 
equipment  included  the  Antrex  Corpo- 
ration (856  N.  Rockwell  Street,  Chi- 
cago  22)   exhibiting  battery   operated 


tape  recorders;  Audio-Master  Corp.  (17

graphs, radios  and  the  other  audio 
instructional  devices. 

There  was  surprising  lack  of  em-

equipment  had   reached  a  position  of 
somewhat  less  importance. 

The  equipment  stress  at  the  NAVA 
exhibit  was  on  language  laboratories. 
There  were  no  less  than  a  dozen  ex- 
hibitors showing  and  stressing  their 
language  laboratory  equipment.  This 
ranged  from  the  comparatively  simple 
to  the  utterly  complex.  The  simplest 
involved  opportunity  for  the  student 
to  hear  from  a  central  source  (teacher, 
tape  or  disc)  and  to  repeat  aloud  hear- 
ing himself  by  mechanical  rather  than 
electronic  means.  The  most  complex 
involved  all  manner  of  audio  activity, 
including  hearing  from  the  central 
source  —  or  choice  of  central  sources 
in  multichannel  installation  —  and  re- 
cording student  reaction  for  either 
teacher  or  student  criticism.  In  the 
latter  each  listening  position  is 
equipped  with  a  selector  switch,  head- 
phones, microphone  and  tape  recorder. 

Reactions  varied.  Some  dealers  view- 
ing the  most  complex  installations 
wondered  first,  who  would  make  the 
installation  and  second,  who  would 
undertake  maintenance.  Others  ques- 
tioned the  ability  of  schools  and  col- 
leges to  purchase  such  expensive 
equipment.  Others  asked  about  the 
use  of  space  for  such  a  set-up  which 
may  reduce  available  instructional 
space  in  already  over-crowded  schools. 

Conversely,  some  dealers  saw  in  the 
language  laboratory  as  it  was  .shown 
and  demonstrated  the  ideal  solution 
to  many  instructional  problems,  in- 
cluding student  advancement  at  an 
individual  pace,  ample  opportunity  for 
self  appraisal,  extension  of  the  effec- 
tiveness of  the  teacher  through  the  use 
of  recorded  material  and  the  intro- 
duction of  variety  in  both  method  and 
material  to  make  learning  both  more 
rapid  and  more  interesting. 

Teacher  reactions  varied,  too.  Some 
were  aghast  at  the  prospect  of  responsi- 
bility for  such  complex  equipment. 
Those  who  had  had  experience  using 
this  specialized  audio  equipment  in 
language  instruction  were  sometimes 
enthusiastic  but  more  frequently 
counseled  caution  and  slow  growth. 
There  were  those  who  seriously  ques- 
tioned the  advisability  of  supplying 
each  listening  location  with  response- 
recording  equipment.  Would  it  be 
used  frequently  and  effectively  enough 
to  justify  the  investment  —  and  the 
more  complex  maintenance? 

It  was  interesting  to  note  that  nc 
one  questioned  the  value  of  the  inten- 
sive listening  situation  in  learning. 
Some  language  specialists  suggested! 
that  the  language  laboratory  was  a 
partial  misnomer  becau.se  the  same 
techniques  —  precisely  —  could  be  just 
as  effective  in  other  areas  of  instruction  i 
including  grammar,  literature,  history, 
music  —  in  fact  throughout  the  curricu- 
lum.

It  occurs  to  us  that  if  the  crash 
srogram  in  the  training  of  scientists 
s  essential  perhaps  the  hstening  labor- 
itory  should  be  more  widely  employed 
n  teaching  physics,  chemistry  and 
jiology.  It  is  not  inconceivable  that 
;very  classroom  should  be  equipped 
mmcdiately  for  some  form  of  inde- 
pendent, individual  listening  — and 
Lhat  a  crash  program  to  supply  appro- 
ariate  audio  materials  is  the  essential 
cey. 

In  this  regard  there  was  one  new 
ievelopment  which  fascinated  us  by 
:oncept.  Some  years  ago  Paul  Reed, 
n  an  EDUCATIONAL  SCREEN 
\ND  AUDIOVISUAL  GUIDE  editor- 
al,  suggested  a  portable  audiovisual 
aboratory.  This  was  to  be  mounted 
)n  wheels  for  easy  transport,  and  was 
;o  contain  a  single  audio  amplifier 
ind  such  essential  equipment  as  a 
notion  picture  projector,  a  record 
ilayer,  a  tape  recorder  and  a  radio 
(AM/FM)  tuner.  The  amplifier  is 
rommon  to  all  these  machines  and  one 
implifier  could  do  the  job  for  all. 
EH  IS  MACHINE  WAS  ON  VIEW 
\T  CHICAGO -in  an  experimental 
nodel  developed  for  the  exhibition 
jy  the  Kalart  —  Victor  people.  We 
tlon't  know  that  this  will  ever  be  more 
than  an  experiment  —  but  we  hope 
sincerely  that  these  folk  from  Plain- 
kille,  Connecticut  will  develop  this 
poncept  of  audiovisual  equipment 
[nore  fully. 

In  this  regard,  is  it  not  practical 
to  supply  each  classroom  with  an  audio 
amplifier  as  standard?  Then  the  acti- 
ifating  components  (projector,  re- 
corder, tuner  and  record  player)  could 
be  portable.  Loudspeakers  in  this  sit- 
uation could  easily  and  naturally, 
then,  be  standard  classroom  equip- 
ment and  could  be  so  located  to  give 
the  best  listening  opportunities.  Add 
to  this  a  simple  jack  arrangement  so 
that  a  single  headphone  set  —  or  a 
multiplicity  of  headphones  can  be  used 
For  individual  or  group  listening.  We 
approach  then  the  fundamental  of 
the  listening  laboratory  —  and  make 
the  equipment  immediately  available 
to  every  classroom. 

Such  an  arrangement,  let  us  hasten 
to  say,  does  NOT  erase  the  need  for 
other  audio  equipment.  The  situation 
may  well  arise  —  and  probably  will 
arise  —  in  which  a  majority  of  the 
students  will  be  viewing  a  film  or 
auditing  a  recording  —  while  one  or 
a  few  may  be  using  independent  audio 
equipment,  also  with  headphones,  for 
entirely  different  purposes. 

This,  then,  is  the  beginning.  Cer- 
tainly this  NAVA  demonstration  is  not 
the  'end'  and  we  have  not  reached  the 
audio  millenium.  Indeed,  we  are  just 
beginning  to  use  the  audio  devices  to 
their  greatest  advantage  in  instruction 
—and  we  are  yet  to  supply  the  essential 


instructional  materials.  Perhaps  next 
year  they'll  be  shown  in  greater  num- 
ber and  variety. 

In  any  case,  we'll  continue  to  "keep 
an  ear  to  the  ground"  for  you. 


Do  you  have  a  student  in  Plane 
Geometry  who  needs  help?  Does  that 
student  need  a  "quick  review"  or  a  bit 
of  pre-examination  "cramming"?  The 
outright  reading  of  the  axioms  and 
postulates  offered  on  the  recording 
"Plane  Geometry"  (Audio  Educational 
Aids,  Box  250,  Butler,  Missouri)  may 
be    useful.    This    record    reviews,    in 


something  less  than  an  hour,  practi- 
cally an  entire  high  school  course  in 
Plane  Geometry.  Following  the  read- 
ing of  the  axioms  and  postulates  the 
student  is  introduced  to  the  theorems. 
These  are  read  as  statements,  sugges- 
tions are  offered  for  their  proof,  and 
then  they  are  reread.  Geometric  terms 
are  stated  and  defined  and  suggestions 
are  offered  for  solving  a  variety  of 
problems. 

This  is  a  good  presentation  of  fun- 
damental data.  To  understand  the  re- 
cording, the  student  will  have  to  have 
had  considerable  previous  training  in 
the  area.  No  visual  material  accom- 
jjanies  the  disc,  and  it  is  hardly  in- 
tended as  a  "do-it-yourself"  course  — 
nor  should  it  be  used  that  way.

Health  In  Our 
Community 

(Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films,  1150 
Wilmette  Avenue,  Wilmette,  Illinois) 
13  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  black  and 
white,   1959.    |75. 

Description 

Health  in  Our  Community  gives 
insight  into  the  relationships  among 
the  functionaries  in  the  community 
health  program  as  they  cooperate  to 
detect  communicable  diseases  in  the 
early  stages,  isolate  and  treat  sickness, 
administer  preventive  medicine,  en- 
force sanitary  conditions  in  public 
places,  and  prevent  the  spread  of  con- 
tagious diseases  throughout  a  com- 
munity by  quarantine.  This  presenta- 
tion introduces  an  intermediate  grade 
girl  in  a  familiar  situation  with  which 
the  audience  can  identify,  and  portrays 
sequences  to  organize  and  explain  the 
diverse  but  related  duties  of  com- 
munity health  fighters. 

The  camera  pans  the  classroom  of 
busy  pupils  and  comes  to  rest  on  Betty, 
who  is  ill.  The  teacher  takes  Betty 
to  the  school  nurse.  Seeing  some  un- 
usual red  spots,  the  nurse  sends  Betty 
home,  having  diagnosed  her  illness  as 
measles.  At  home  the  doctor  visits 
Betty,  confirms  the  nurse's  diagnosis, 
and  tells  her  to  stay  in  bed  while  she 
recovers.    Meanwhile  the  doctor  writes 


a  report  to  the  department  of  health 
telling  of  Betty's  contagious  disease 
and  her  isolation  for  treatment. 

Dr.  McNally,  the  head  of  the  depart- 
ment of  health,  reads  the  report  of 
Betty's  illness  and  has  it  filed  in  a 
drawer  labeled  "Contagious  Diseases." 
The  narrator  explains  that  these  kinds 
of  diseases  should  be  isolated  for  treat- 
ment, and  the  following  scene  of  a 
conference  comes  on  the  screen  while 
the  narrator  continues  to  explain  the 
cooperation  among  family  doctors  and 
the  health  committee  to  find  and 
isolate  contagious  diseases  to  keep 
them   from    spreading. 

The  next  sequence  deals  with  pre- 
vention of  diseases  by  vaccination  and 
enforcement  of  sanitation.  This  is 
illustrated  by  the  vaccination  of  a 
small  boy.  The  narrator  explains  that 
and  the  working  of  the  laboratory 
where  tests  for  dangerous  genus  are 
made  and  studied.  Following  scenes 
deal  with  the  inspection  and  testing 
of  milk  and  water  samples  in  a 
laboratory. 

The  ominous  tones  of  the  music 
rise  and  a  shot  of  a  kitten  scrounging 
in  a  filthy  alley  that  is  littered  with 
waste  and  garbage  is  shown.  The 
dangers  of  spreading  disease  germs 
here  are  obvious  and  the  work  of  the 
health  departments  in  controlling 
them   is  pictured. 

Following     a     transition      from     a 


crowded  city  street  to  scenes  of  the 
community  —  children  and  their  moth- 
ers at  a  meeting  with  the  town's  doctors 
for  examination  of  children,  a  special 
class  for  handicapped  children,  a  man 
getting  a  chest  x-ray,  and  a  nurse  visit- 
ing a  home-bound  patient  —  represent 
the  civic  cooperation  of  the  health 
fighters  to  detect  diseases  and  point  up 
some  of  the  health  services  of  the 
community. 

Reports  of  a  case  of  typhoid  fever 
set  off  a  rapid  inspection.  The  typhoid 
carrier  is  located  and  treated.  The 
narrator  explains  how  a  man  inno- 
cently infected  the  patients,  even 
though  he,  himself,  was  not  ill.  The 
carrier  having  been  found,  the  points 
on  the  city  map  which  located  the 
danger  spots  are  removed  to  signify  the 
end  of  a  crisis  and  the  tempo  of  the 
film  returns  to  normal.  Betty  recovers 
from  her  measles  and  the  doctor  certi- 
fies that  she  is  well.  Next  is  shown  as 
she  reports  to  school  and  is  enthusi- 
astically welcomed  by  her  friends.  The 
pupils  in  the  audience  are  challenged 
in  the  next  sequence  to  do  their  parts 
in  guarding  communitv  health.  They 
are  advised  to  keep  a  clean  house  and 
town,  and  stav  in  bed  when  they  have 
a  contagious  illness. 

The  ending  sctiuence  relates  the 
familiar  policeman  and  fireman,  who 
fight  to  protect  citizen's  rights,  to  the 
laboratory  technician,  the  doctor,  the 
nurse,  and  the  whole  staff  of  a  health 
department  that  fight  germs  and  di- 
seases. The  closing  shot  pictures  a 
smiling,  healthy  girl  walking  down  a 
city  street  as  the  narrator  tells  that  all 
are  fighters  to  make  your  town  and 
Betty's  a  happy  and  healthful  place  to 
live. 

.Appraisal 

Health  in  Our  Community  serves  to 
focus  the  acti\  ities  of  the  workers  in 
the  departments  of  health,  the  com- 
munity volunteers,  and  the  medical 
profession  around  a  systematized  ef- 
fort to  protect  the  health  of  the  com- 
munity. Elementary  children  should 
understand  the  presenLjuion  and  get 
some  insight  into  the  relations  among 
various  occupations  that  comprise  the 
public  health  program  of  a  commu- 
nity. The  film  also  indicates  that  each 
person  has  a  responsibility  to  co- 
operate in  keeping  the  community  free 
of  contagious  diseases. 

The  integration  of  activities  at  a 
relatively  simple  level  of  explanation,

Description. 

Insect  Foods  —  through  use  of  close- 
ups  of  insects,  descriptions  of  their 
ife  cycles,  and  their  characteristic 
feeding  habits  —  presents  an  oppor- 
tunity to  observe  a  number  of  insects 
found  commonly  throughout  .America 
md  points  up  the  fact  that  insect 
feeding  habits  are  of  great  economic 
niportance   to  man. 

A  katydid,  for  example,  is  shown 
teding  on  a  leaf,  but  the  film  indi- 
ates  that  even  though  katydids  have  a 
remendous  ap])etite  they  are  not  an 
-conomic  problem  because  birds  and 
Jther    small    animals    eat    them,    thus 


controlling  tneir  numbers. 

Next,  the  larvae  of  a  beetle  are  pic- 
tured feeding  on  stored  grain.  The 
film  then  pictures  the  dormant,  pupal 
stage.  It  shows  adult  beetles  in  the 
grain  and  tlescribes  them  feeding  and 
reproduting  to  start  again  the  life 
cycle  of  this  insect  pest.  The  larvae  of 
the  Polyphemus  moth  are  shown  de- 
vouring leaves;  then  close-up  views 
feature,  its  suction-like  feet.  The  nar- 
rator points  out  that  the  larval  stage 
is  well  camouflaged.  It  shows  the 
(aterpillar  of  this  moth  spinning  its 
cocoon.  Through  a  window  cut  in  the 
cocoon  the  caterpillar  can  be  seen 
undergoing  metamorphosis.  The  ex- 
terior of  the  finished  hard,  leathery 
cocoon  is  also  depicted.  The  sequence 
is  completed  by  showing  a  mounted, 
adult  Polyphemus  moth. 

The  film  continues  picturing  a  wasp 
moth  as  it  lays  its  eggs.  The  hatched 
larvae  are  shown  feeding  by  boring  in 
a  living  tree;  the  life  cycle  is  completed 
by  the  adult  which  emerges  from  the 
pupa.  Termites  are  shown  as  they 
tunnel  through  a  dead  log  on  the 
forest  floor  thus  helping  to  speed  its 
decomposition.  .So,  these  insects,  which 
are  thought  of  as  being  harmful,  assist 
in  the  vital  process  of  soil  formation. 
Larvae  of  the  carpet  beetle  are  house- 
hold pests  but  they  also  have  useful 


activities.  The  film  pictures  a  number 
of  these  larvae  feeding  on  a  dead 
butterfly,  eventually  reducing  it  to 
dust.  This  enriches  the  soil  which 
helps  to  support  the  plant  and  animal 
life  that  is  yet  to  come.  The  adult  of 
the  clothes  moth  is  shown  as  the  nar- 
rator indicates  that  this  insect  has  a 
well  earned  bad  reputation;  however, 
not  the  adults  but  the  larvae  do  the 
damage.  Larvae  are  shown  as  they 
feed  on  woolen  material.  Following 
is  a  close-up  of  adult  fleas  and  then  a 
cat  being  annoyed  by  them.  The  film 
shows  the  larvae  on  the  dead  hair  of 
a  rug  and  the  pupal  stage  of  the  flea. 

.\  praying  mantis  is  shown  in  its 
characteristic  pose  as  it  captures  a  fly. 
The  mantis  is  useful  because  it  preys 
upon  harmful  or  annoying  insects; 
however,  occasionally,  it  will  feed  upon 
beneficial  ones,  such  as  bees.  The  last 
insect  shown  is  the  interesting  ant 
lion.  A  microscopic  view  of  its  power- 
ful jaws  is  shown;  then  it  is  pictured 
digging  its  conical  pit  in  the  sand.  An 
ant  falls  into  the  pit  and  is  immedi- 
ately caught  in  the  ant  lion's  waiting 
jaws. 

The  film  concludes  by  telling  that 
every  plant  and  animal  in  the  entire 
world  provides  food  for  some  kind 
of  insect.

Appraisal 

Insect  Foods  does  an  admirable  job 
of  presenting  familiar  insects  and  their 
less  familiar  feeding  habits.  Its  absorb- 
ing content  coupled  with  its  technical 
excellence  will  hold  the  attention  of  an 
audience  range  from  primary  children 
through  adults.  In  the  schools,  it  will 
probably  be  most  useful  on  the  inter- 
mediate and  junior  high  level  with 
some  use  in  senior  high;  however,  in 
addition,  farm  groups  will  be  interested 
in  its  economic  implications  and  house- 
holders in  its  presentation  of  the  habits 
of  fleas,  clothes  moths,  carpet  beetles 
and  termites.  Since  several  examples  of 
complete  metamorphosis  are  given,  a 
secondary  purpose  of  the  film  could  be 
to  present  the  life  of  certain  insects. 
Also,  it  shows  that  some  insects,  such 
as,  termites,  commonly  thought  of  as 
being  only  destructive,  have  very  use- 
ful functions  in  their  natural  habitats. 
This  may  help  to  quell  the  desire  of 
many  people  to  spray,  squash,  or 
"skedaddle  from"  all  insects,  whether 
primarily  beneficial  or  harmful.

Explaining  Matter: 
Molecules  In  Motion 

(Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films,  Inc., 
1150  Wilmette  Avenue,  Willmette,  Il- 
linois) 11  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  color 
or  black  &  white.  1958.  $120  or  $60. 

Description 

The  film  demonstrates  evidences  of 
the  existence  of  molecules  and  relates 
the  characteristics  of  solids,  liquids, 
and  gases  to  molecular  motion.  Using 
time  lapse  photography,  the  film  shows 
the  loss  of  water  from  a  glass  during 
a  week.  Animation  is  used  to  explain 
the  abstract  process  of  evaporation. 

Water  is  used  to  illustrate  the  charac- 
teristics of  a  liquid  as  the  film  shows 
water  assuming  the  shapes  of  various 
containers.  Ice  demonstrates  the  char- 
acteristics of  a  solid,  and  the  relation- 
ship of  the  solid  and  liquid  states  to 
molecular  motion  is  shown  as  the  ice 
is  melted.  The  film  uses  boiling  water 
to  show  the  transformation  of  a  liquid 
to  a  gas.  These  changes  of  state  are 
defined  as  physical  changes  resulting 
from  the  increase  or  decrease  of  molec- 
ular motion. 

Pressure  is  demonstrated  as  heated 
air  blows  the  cap  off  a  glass  jar.  This 
leads  to  the  definition  of  pressure  as 
the  force  of  molecules  against  a  sur- 
face. Increasing  pressure  by  adding 
more  molecules  is  portrayed  as  a  bal- 
loon is  blown  up.  The  relationship 
between  molecular  motion,  physical 
state,  and  heat  is  further  emphasized 
through  the  use  of  dry  ice,  solid  carbon 
dioxide,    and    liquid    air. 

The  film  ends  with  the  generaliza- 


tion that  molecules  are  known  to  exist 
from  their  motion,  and  that  molecular 
motion  explains  the  solid,  liquid,  and 
gaseous  states  as  well   as  pressure. 

Appraisal 

Explaining  Matter:  Molecules  in 
Motion  {jrovides  a  simple  introduction 
to  the  concepts  of  the  status  of  matter 
and  the  results  of  molecular  activity. 
The  use  of  simple  animation  makes  it 
possible  to  better  understand  the  ac- 
tions of  molecules  and  to  infer  their 
presence  from  the  evidences  of  their 
actions.  The  film  is  strengthened 
through  its  use  of  materials  common 
to  the  everyday  experiences  of  its  au- 
dience. It  will  be  useful  in  the  inter- 
mediate grades  as  an  introduction  to 
the  study  of  molecules,  as  an  aid  to 
the  growth  of  understandings  in  the 
unit,  and  as  a  summary.  Molecules  in 
Motion  is  the  first  of  four  films  in  the 
series  Explaining  Matter.

Rescue  Breathing 

(American  Film  Producers,  1600 
Broadway,  New  York  19,  New  York) 
22  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  black  andi 
white,  color,  1958.  $110,  $200. 


Description 

Rescue  Breathing  provides  a  series 
of  dramatic  demonstrations  of  acci- 
dents in  which  a  person's  natural 
breathing  is  unable  to  function,  and 
uses  laboratory  experiments  and  ani- 
mation to  explain  the  theory  of  mouth- 
to-mouth  breathing. 

As  an  ambulance  hurries  through 
the  city  and  arrives  at  a  home  only  in 
time  to  remove  the  body  of  a  suf- 
focated woman,  the  narrator  poses  the 
opening  question  —  "what  would  you 
do  if  found  near  a  person  needing  help 
to  restore  his  breathing?"  To  demon- 
strate this  method,  which  is  a  more 
efficient  means  of  resuscitation  than  the 
older  arm-lift  method,  a  re-enactment 
of  the  laboratory  research  on  rescue 
breathing  is  shown.  In  this  portrayal  a 
volunteer  doctor  has  received  a  dose  of 
curare,  paralyzing  him  to  the  exent 
that  he  can  no  longer  breathe.  A  nurse 
tilts  back  his  head,  pulls  his  lower  jaw 
out  to  remove  the  tongue  from  its* 
blocking  position  over  the  air  passage 
at  the  back  of  the  throat,  pinches  hi* 
nostrils  closed  with  her  other  handj 
and  places  her  mouth  over  his  to  blow 
in  rhythmically  the  air  needed  to 
keep  him  supplied  with  sufficient* 
oxygen.  A  large  scale  oxygen  meter 
shows  the  content  of  oxygen  in  the 
blood  during  a  no-breathing  spellJ 
when  the  arm-lift  method  is  appliedJ 
when  using  an  oxygen  mask,  and 
when      the      mouth-to-mouth      rescut

breathing  is  used.  In  the  first  two 
instances  the  oxygen  count  drops  fairly 
rapidly,  while  during  using  either 
the  oxygen  mask,  or  rescue  breathing 
the  oxygen  content  of  the  blood  is 
maintained  at  a  near-normal  level. 
Animation  is  used  to  point  out  more 
clearly  what  takes  place  when  using  the 
rescue  breathing  method. 

Typical  situations  in  which  rescue 
breathing  can  be  utilized  are  enacted. 
A  scoutmaster  rescues  one  of  his  boys 
from  drowning,  a  doctor  revives  a  vic- 
tim of  automobile  exhaust,  a  wife  saves 
her  unconscious  husband  who  received 
a  severe  electrical  shock  while  using 
an  electric  drill,  and  a  school  girl 
rescues  her  little  sister  who  is  choking 
on  a  part  of  a  burst  balloon.  Similar 
action  restores  a  wounded  soldier  in 
battle  and  a  woman  suffering  from  an 
overdose  of  drugs. 

Specific  points  are  stressed  through- 
out the  description  of  rescue  breathing. 
No  more  than  twelve  to  fifteen  breaths 
per  minute  need  to  be  given  to  revive 
an  adult,  and  twenty  breaths  per 
minute  to  an  infant.  Air  breathed  into 
the  stomach  can  be  removed  by  apply- 
ing a  slight  pressure  to  the  stomach. 
The  rise  and  fall  of  the  chest  should 
be  watched  for  signs  that  the  individual 
is  receiving  air.  Return  of  skin  and 
finger  nail  coloring  are  signs  of  revival. 

In  the  closing  scenes  of  the  film  the 
basic  steps  in  rescue  breathing  and 
important  points  that  must  be  kept  in 
mind   are   reviewed. 

Appraisal 

Rescue  Breathing  makes  available  a 
much  desired  film  for  teaching  this 
technique  to  persons  from  the  junior 
high  level  to  adults.  The  previewing 
committee  feels  that  this  production 
will  be  of  special  interest  to  teachers 
of  first  aid  classes,  safety  classes,  boy 
or  girl  scout  groups,  industrial  training 
classes,  swimming  classes,  and  parent 
groups.  Of  particular  interest  are  the 
reenactmcnts  of  actual  situations  in 
which  the  mouth-to-mouth  rescue 
breathing  was  used  to  revive  the  vic- 
tims in  various  near-fatal  circum- 
stances; since  live  demonstrations  of 
this  method  are  not  practical  the  film 
answers  a  definite  need  in  classes  con- 
cerned with  first  aid  techniques.  The 
clearly  demonstrated  steps  prepare  any 
group  for  immediate  action  in  this 
life-saving  procedure.

AV  IN  THE  CHURCH  FIELD 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


"The  Harvest,"  National  Film  Board  of  Canada 


A  Producer  Explains 

Since  January  1st,  1959,  Miss  Ardis 
Kresensky  has  been  Director  of  Reli- 
gious Productions  for  Eye  Gate  House, 
Inc.,  Jamaica  35,  N.Y.,  and  occupied  in 
part  with  the  development  of  a  series 
of  four  filmstrips  for  Primary  and 
Junior  children  entitled,  "The  Story 
The  Bible  Tells."  I  would  like  to 
share,  with  her  permission,  several 
short  paragraphs  from  our  correspond- 
ence. First  on  the  function  and  char- 
acter of  the  artwork: 

"I  had  quite  a  time  figuring  out 
whether  the  artwork  was  too  repre- 
sentational. It  is  representational,  of 
course,  and  it  doesn't  always  communi- 
cate theological  meaning.  But,  it  al- 
ways helps  tell  the  story.  The  pictures 
communicate  a  good  deal  of  emotion 
through  facial  expression,  gestures  and 
settings.  They  won't  obscure  the  mean- 
ing unless  the  story  obscures  the  mean- 
ing by  too  much  entertainment,  or,  by 
losing  itself  in  individual  incidents  and 
details.  It  is  the  story  we  are  trying 
to  tell." 

A  grand  sweep  is  undertaken  in 
these  filmstrips  — /n  The  Beginning, 
God's  People,  The  Christ  Child,  and 
Jesus  Our  Savior  —  and  such  a  state- 
ment of  what  the  Bible  tells  in  this 
broad-brush  way  is  needed.  When 
the    question    of    'interpretation'    was 

490 


brought  up,  Miss  Kresensky  had  this 
to  say  —  and  I  liked  it  very  much: 

"We  want  to  tell  it  with  'no  com- 
ment' as  much  as  possible.  Of  course, 
all  interpretation  is  'comment',  and 
we  can't  avoid  interpretation  as  long  as 
we  are  trying  to  bring  the  stories  with- 
in the  understanding  of  the  Primary 
child  (by)  using  'shame'  and  'God 
couldn't  trust  them  any  more",  and 
'It's  all  right  now'  instead  of  'Go  in 
Peace'." 

It  seems  acceptable  interpretation. 
Unless  such  a  procedure  is  permissible 
and  possible,  what  chance  have  we  of 
communicating  this  body  of  informa- 
tion to  the  younger  children?  She  con- 
tinues: 

"But  as  long  as  the  central  theo- 
logical truth  is  left  intact,  even  though 
it  isn't  fully  expressed,  I  think  the  best 
thing  we  can  do  is  to  tell  the  story 
as  clearly  and  as  simply  as  possible.  If 
the  only  questions  that  arise  are  the 
important  questions  that  arise  from 
the  Bible  itself,  then  I  think  we've 
done  the  job.  Where  did  the  tempter 
come  from?  Does  anybody  know?  But 
there  he  is." 

On  the  question  of  halos  in  the  art 
work,  we  have  this  reply: 

"We  are  going  to  take  a  chance  on 
halos.  .Although  almost  all  of  our 
teaching  pictures  these  days  do  without 
them,  there  are  still  halos  on  the  Old 


Masters,  and  even  on  something  as 
relatively  modern  as  Vichon's  'Christ 
and  The  Children'." 

.And  we  hope  that  she  is  right  in 
this.  We  shall  look  forward  to  seeing 
and  reviewing  this  new  series,  obvious- 
ly being  made  with  intelligence  and 
great  care.  —  WSH 

Rural  Erosion 

The  Harvest  is  a  30-minute  B&W 
dramatic  motion  picture  about  a  min- 
ister in  a  rural  community,  and  the 
social  erosion  he  faces  in  his  people 
and  in  himself.  Keyed  to  this  year's 
study  of  Town  and  Country  by  the 
churches  of  America,  this  film  has  much 
to  say  both  to  city  and  rural  congrega- 
tions. It  holds  the  mirror  up  to  both: 
to  the  first  to  ask  if  they  are  helping 
solve  the  problem  of  an  adequate 
ministry  for  the  rural  areas;  and,  to 
the  latter  to  ask  if  they  are  doing 
enough  to  help  themselves.  Produced 
by  the  National  Film  Board  of 
Canada,  it  is  available  from  the  BFC 
of  the  NCC  and  from  local  rental 
libraries.  Excellent  treatment  of  sub- 
ject: dramatic:  realistic;  and  with 
good  general  qualities.  Highly  recom- 
mended.   Rental  $6.00. 

Emerging  Africa 

With  the  press  headlines  as  they  are 
it  is  fitting  and  timely  for  the  churches 
of  the  U.S.  to  be  studying  Africa  and 
her  peoples  this  fall  and  winter.  It  is 
good  to  have  a  fine  film  to  aid  in  this 
study,  and  in  New  Faces  Of  Africa  the 
National  Council  of  Churches,  through 
its  Broadcasting  and  Film  Commission, 
has  produced  an  outstanding  film.  The 
content  is  excellent,  the  photography 
fine,  and  the  whole  production  has  a 
nice  professional  gloss. 

Its  excellence  begins  with  the  gen- 
eral continuity  narration.  It  is  done  by 
an  African,  a  handsome  man  and  a  very 
ingratiating  personality.  Dr.  Mungai 
Njoroge  (Moon-guy  Jo-ro-ge).  Born  in 
Kenya,  inspired  to  work  for  his  people 
by  a  missionary,  Mr.  Njoroge  arrived 
in  the  U.S.  in  1951  with  a  bachelor's 
degree  in  hygiene  and  little  else.  In 
1959  he  returned  to  his  home,  a  gradu-i 
ate  in  medicine  of  Stanford  University, 
an  excellent  command  of  English,  and 
with  two  years  internship  in  two  out- 
standing medical  centers. 

What  does  he  say  of  emerging 
Africa?  "Poverty,  ignorance  and  disease 


EdScreen   &  AV  Guide  —  September,    1959 


are  the  f^reat  problems  in  Africa.  But 
there  is  another— finding  a  faith  to  live 
by.  Witiiout  it,  even  independence 
will  not  be  true  freedom."  So,  he  will 
give  his  life  to  faith  and  medicine! 

In  this  29-minute  color  and  or  B&W 
fihn  Africans  speak.  A  pastor  tells  of 
his  strong  and  self-reliant  church;  a 
nurse  tells  of  her  upbringing,  training, 
present  work  and  hopes  for  Africa;  a 
cliieftain  tells  us  of  changing  old 
economic  patterns  into  new  ones;  an 
office  worker  in  Leopoldville  tells  us 
why  he  can  never  again  be  content  to 
be  ruled  from  a  European  capital. 
.\n  African  editor  speaks;  brilliant, 
young  and  mission  trained  Tom 
Mboya  tells  us  of  self-government  and 
independence.  This  is  good.  So  often 
have  others  spoken  for  Africans.  Now 
we  hear  their  story  while  seeing  them, 
their  people,  their  cities,  their  way  of 
life  via  fine  photography.  What  if  their 
English  is  not  as  clear  as  your  ear  is 
used  to.  This  only  adds  an  authentic 
note.  Here  is  a  superior  film.  Let's 
use  it  to  the  full:  with  youth,  adults 
and  if  care  is  taken,  with  Juniors  as 
well.  From  your  AV  dealer.  (See  cover 
of  June  issue.) 

Rembrandt  Film 

If  you  are  looking  for  a  program 
for  mature  adults  of  your  church,  club, 
or  community  why  not  try  giving  an 
hour  to  the  artist  Rembrandt,  whose 
S.'iOth  birth  anniversary  has  brought 
forth  new  books  and  new  films?  Why 
not  a  1.5-minute  review  of  the  book 
"Rembrandt    and    The    Gospel,"    by 


W.  A.  Visser  t  Hooft  (Westminster 
Press),  plus  the  14-minute  color  film 
Rembrandl:  I'oel  oj  Light  (from  Inter- 
national V\\m  Bureau,  ,57  E.  Jackson 
Blvd.,  Chicago  1:  $4..f)0  rental),  plus 
a  I5-minute  lorinn  on  his  life,  religion 
and  art?  The  film  can  be  counted  on 
to  do   its   part   well. 

Filmstrip  Notes 

It  is  one  tiling  to  show  children 
about  growing  plants,  about  growing 
animal  babies,  about  things  around 
you,  even  about  the  land,  the  sky  and 
the  heavens,  and  then  quite  another 
thing  to  stimulate  them  to  find  out 
about  these  things  for  themselves.  We 
suppose  when  science  is  presented  to 
grades  One  and  Two  that  the  accent 
will  need  to  be  on  showing  and  tell- 
ing rather  than  upon  investigation  and 
finding  out.  It  was,  perhaps,  this 
"finding  out  about"  in  the  first  half 
of  every  title  in  SVE's  Basic  Primary 
Science  —  Group  One  that  bothered 
us.  .-\gain,  we  thought  that  here  would 
be  the  place  for  some  fine  color 
photography,  and  instead  we  are  given 
full-color  original  art.  I  have  no  ob- 
jection to  the  captions.  They  get  the 
job  done,  better  than  the  art.  On  the 
look-out  for  nature  materials  useful 
in  the  lower  grades  of  the  church 
school,  in  vacation  church  schools,  and 
in  week-day  schools,  I  wish  that  I 
could  be  more  enthusiastic  about  this 
series  of  six.  T  find  it  only  acceptable 
for  use  in  the  church  school.  From

QuoVadis  —  Church  Audiovisuals: 

6y  W  illUtni  F,  Kruse 


\\  liither  goeth  —  church  AV  pro- 
duction —  distribution  —  evaluation  — 
utilization  —  communication?  Some 
thirteen  years  ago  Rogers  and  Veith' 
raised  the  same  questions  concerning 
the  status  and  development  of  the  mo- 
tion |)icture  in  the  service  of  the 
churdi.  They  suggested  that  this  de- 
velo|)ment  had  moved  in  what  thev 
called  three  "waves"  -  1895  - 1919; 
1920-1930;  and  1931-1946,  their  time 
of  writing.  Disregarding  some  room 
for  question  as  to  the  exact  dates 
chosen  as  division  points  there  was 
logic  in  these  time  zones.  From  the 
invention  of  the  motion  picture  until 
the  early  '20s  churches  had  practically 
no  films  other  than  those  from  the 
theatrical  field;  the  '20s  and  early  '30s 


saw  a  start  made  in  production  directly 
for  church  use;  and  by  the  mid-'40s 
the  interdenominational  Religious 
Film  Association  was  distributing  some 
250  films,  most  of  them  technically  ac- 
ceptable by  the  non-theatrical  stand- 
ards then  prevailing. 

Today,  these  materials  have  in- 
creased more  than  ten-fold,  and  the 
number  of  producers  has  more  than

but  some  questioning  also  as  to 
whether  the  right  materials  are  being 
produced  for  the  right  purposes,  and, 
even  if  so,  whether  they  are  used  to 
proper  advantage.  The  time  has  come 
once  more  to  take  stock  of  where  we 
stand,  whence  we  have  come,  and 
whither  we  are  going. 

Wanted  —  Facts 

This  stock  taking  must  be  more  than 
a  pleasant  meeting  of  minds  or  sub- 
jective exchange  of  generalities.  Fif- 
teen years  of  "Green  Lake"  and  in- 
numerable seminars  on  denomina- 
tional and/or  regional  scale  have 
helped  us  clear  our  thinking,  appraise 
our  needs,  develop  our  skills.  The 
areas  in  which  a  dearth  of  films  was 
noted  by  the  workshops  of  a  decade  or 
so  ago  are  now  for  the  most  part  sup- 
plied. The  Methodist  seminars  (1946-7) 
which  brought  together  each  year  some 
two  score  invited  AV  leaders  and  re- 
source experts  for  a  three-week  period 
of  study  and  discussion  listed  among 
these  areas  —  Bible,  Jesus,  Paul,  Chris- 
tian family,  evangelism,  stewardship, 
witness,  missions,  church  vocations, 
skills,  arts,  and  the  special  interests  of 
children,  youth,  teens,  and  parents. 
In  the  opinion  of  producers  and  de- 
nominational leaders  alike  there  are 
more  materials  today  in  each  of  these 
areas  than  are  being  put  to  effective 
use. 

Who  Uses  What  — and  Why 
—  and  How? 

Just  how  much  are  they  being  used? 
How  effectively?  For  what  purpose? 
By  whom?  The  time  has  come  for  basic 
factual  research  into  the  patterns  of 
producer-distributor-user  relationships. 
Research  —  not  opinions,  not  guesses, 
however  qualified  or  self-assured  may 
be  the  guesser.  So  many  of  us  are  there 
who  "know"  so  much  that  may  not 
really  be  so  at  all. 

The  basic  data  are  readily  available 
in  the  records  kept  by  the  producers 
and  by  wholesale  and  retail  distribu- 
tors. It  will  cost  money  to  gather, 
collate,  analyze  and  interpret  them. 
But  valid  policy  and  program  can  be 
built  only  on  a  solid  factual  base.  A 
statistically  valid  data  format,  once 
the  questions  and  issues  are  clearly 
defined  the  material  on  which  an- 
swers are  to  be  based  may  come  at 
relatively  low  cost  from  the  sources 
themselves.  The  costs  of  collating  and 
analyzing  would  not  be  too  heavy  if 
shared  by  the  chief  likely  beneficiaries. 

Wanted  —  Research  .  .  . 

A  consideration  of  the  extent  and 
methodology  of  research  in  audiovisual 
education  in  school  and  government 
service,    and    recently    in    mass    com- 


munication and  educational  television, 
would  reveal  how  far  the  religious  AV 
field  lags  in  this  resp>ect.  Less  than  one 
percent  of  the  degree  dissertations  on 
AV  topics  deal  with  church  applica- 
tions and  even  most  of  these  theses  are 
very  narrowly  conceived.  It  is  time  to 
remedy  this. 

...  on  the  Local  Church  Level 

There  is  need  for  a  thorough  moti- 
vational research  program  on  the 
local  church  level  to  find  out  why  cer- 
tain materials  were  selected  and  by 
whom.  Why  not  others?  Was  it  because 
of  some  published  evaluation,  such  as 
the  Audio  Visual  Resource  Guide  or 
Educational  Screen's  Church  Depart- 
ment? Did  the  user's  experience  bear 
out  that  evaluation?  Always?  When 
not,  why  not?  Where  was  the  material 
used?  How?  When?  For  what  type 
audience?  With  what  effect  —  in  the 
opinion  of  the  leader?  User  group  re- 
action? Comments?  Would  it  be  used 
again?  For  the  same  purpose?  Same 
audience?  Different  purpose  and  audi- 
ence? When?  Why? 

Does  the  local  church  feel  it  knows 
how  to  use  AV  material  effectively?  If 
not,  what  kind  of  know-how  is  lack- 
ing? How  could  it  be  supplied?  By 
whom?  How?  In  the  opinion  of  Wil- 
liam S.  Hockman  there  is  less  grass 
roots  know-how  than  ever  before, 
partly  because  of  excessive  turnover  in 
church  workers,  including  the  audio- 
visual chairman. 

Who  Is  the  Church  Audiovisualist? 

How  many  churches  have  one?  Who 
is  he?  What  does  he  do?  How  was  he 
selected?  What  are  his  status  symbols? 
What  is  his  background  in  church 
work?  What  is  his  relationship  to  the 
DRE  —  how  often  is  he  the  same  per- 
son? Relationship  to  the  minister?  To 
other  church  leaders?  What  does  the 
AV  chairman  think  of  his  own  func- 
tion —  and  functioning? 

And  What  of  "Curriculum"? 

To  what  extent  is  curriculum  inte- 
gration of  AV  materials  actually  prac- 
ticed? Under  what  guidance?  How 
strictly?  Has,  perhaps,  the  heavy  un- 
qualified emphasis  on  curriculum  pro- 
duced a  side-effect  of  deriding  and 
eliminating  all  use  of  motion  pictures, 
etc.,  for  fund  raising,  recreation,  at- 
tendance boosting,  "baby  sitting"  or 
other  secondary  applications  of  certain 
types  of  film?  Does  the  primary  cur- 
ricular  use  of  AV  ban  completely  such 
periphery  uses? 

Are  Audiovisuals  Today 
Technically  Good? 

Clergymen  are  known  still  to  argue 
that   if   there  were   "good"    films   and 


filmstrips  they  would  be  more  likely 
to  use  them.  What  is  a  "good"  film? 
Good  for  what?  For  whom?  Says  who? 
Why?  If,  by  "good,"  content  is  meant, 
what  are  today's  faults  and  what  the 
sources  of  improvement?  If  technical 
quality  is  meant  the  same  questions 
apply.  Hockman  states  that  "clergy 
say  'get  quality  up,'  not  knowing  that 
it  is  way  above  where  they  think  it  is." 

What  of  the  alleged  "Hollywood 
influence"?  Is  it  good  or  bad?  Or 
partly  both?  In  what  way?  The  pros 
and  cons  were  discussed  at  least  as  far 
back  as  1946,  at  Emory,  when  Dr. 
Frank  M.  McKibben  put  it  thus: 

"We  may  do  many  things  in  this 
field  of  our  own.  But  it  is  altogether 
likely  that  we  will  be  compelled  to 
draw  upon  the  technical  skill  and  su- 
perb artistry  of  Hollywood  to  accom- 
plish the  ends  we  seek.  We  shall  need 
to  learn  the  method  of  indirection  in 
securing  certain  ends.  (Original  em- 
phasis). We  are  apt  to  try  to  do  in  this 
field  what  we  have  unwisely  done  in 
story  telling.  Not  content  to  tell  a 
story  and  let  it  do  its  own  teaching, 
we  moralize  before  and  after  we  have 
told  the  story.  Children  quickly  build 
up  a  defense  against  such  procedure." 

Any  number  of  the  films  and  other 
audiovisuals  produced  for  church  use 
now  draw  on  this  "Hollywood"  skill 
and  artistry.  Is  this  "good"?  Bad? 
How?  Why?  Again  —  who  says  so  — 
and  why?  Does  this  apply  more  par- 
ticularly to  films  custom-made  for  a 
specific  denomination?  Or  to  materials 
produced  for  broad  interdenomina- 
tional use?  There  is  now  enough 
"Hollywood"  as  well  as  non-Hollywood 
product  for  comparison,  and  broad 
enough  audiences  for  research. 

Much  of  current  production  is 
aimed  at  television,  a  field  untouched 
in  1948.  Many  television  productions 
subsequently  go  into  group  audience 
circulation.  Are  the  two  media  wholly 
compatible?  What  do  church  audiences 
think  about  this?  What  do  religious 
film  library  booking  records  show? 

Producer,  distributor,  dealer,  user  — 
all  have  a  vital  interest  in  getting  de- 
pendable significant  facts.  Only  on 
the  basis  of  well-founded  factual  data 
can  we  know  even  what  questions  to 
ask.  Once  we  have  the  questions  we 
will  be  able  to  get  and  to  think  about 
the  answers.  And  —  perhaps  even  act 
on  them.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


Living  in  the 
Soviet  Union  Today 

(7  strips,  color;  produced  by  the  So- 
ciety for  Visual  Education,  1345  Di- 
versey  Parkway,  Chicago  14,  111.;  §39.75 
per  set,  $6.50  single  strips.)  Although 
it  is  much  easier  to  arrange  to  travel 
in  Ru.ssia  today,  relatively  few  Ameri- 
cans have  as  yet  made  extensive  trips 
to  this  country  we  need  to  know  more 
about.  The  producers  of  this  series 
have  drawn  upon  the  photographs 
taken  by  twelve  who  did  visit  Russia 
in  1957  and  1958,  and  the  result  is  a 
rather  comprehensive  pictorial  account 
of  home  and  school  life  and  activities, 
agriculture  and  farming,  shopping  fa- 
cilities, resources  and  transportation 
in  modern  Russia.  Attention  is  fo- 
cused on  the  cities  of  Moscow,  Kiev, 
Leningrad  and  Tashkent.  We  see  fa- 
mous buildings,  typical  street  scenes, 
recreational  facilities  and  general  ac- 
tivities. We  become  aware  of  the  many 
contrasts  among  the  people;  the  scenes 
and  activities  are  those  which  appeal 
both  to  a  photographer  and  to  a  stu- 
dent of  social  conditions.  There  is  a 
friendly  feeling  to  the  series,  and  it 
seems  less  stilted  than  some  regional 
geography  materials.  Perhaps  this  is 
because  the  pictures  have  human  in- 
terest and  show  plenty  of  people  going 
about  their  daily  tasks,  rather  than 
merely  presenting  a  series  of  buildings. 
It  is  material  to  be  recommended  for 
use  with  any  class  or  group  wishing  to 
know  more  about  what  life  in  Russia  is 
like  today. 

The  St.  La"wrence  Seaway 

(Parts  I  and  II)  (single  strips,  black 
and  white;  produced  by  Visual  Educa- 
tion Consultants,  2066  Helena  St., 
Madison  I,  Wise:  $3.75  each.)  The 
current  year  has  seen  the  opening  of 
a  great  new  sea  lane  which  makes  it 
possible  for  boats  of  all  kinds  to  come 
directly  from  the  Atlantic  ports  to 
Montreal  and  on  to  great  inland  ports 
such  as  Duluth.  Part  I  of  this  set, 
"Natural  Obstacles,"  shows  us  the 
work  which  had  to  be  done  to  over- 
come natural  geographical  obstacles 
to  this  project.  Part  II,  "Building  the 
Seaway,"  outlines  the  steps  taken  in 
carrying  out  the  actual  construction 
work.  The  information  is  timely  and 
the  details  included  important  for  un- 
derstanding the  full  value  of  this  great 


waterway  to  both  Canada  and  the 
United  States  and  also  to  world  ship- 
ping interests. 

Understanding 
Poetry  Series 

(6  strips,  color;  produced  by  Popu- 
lar Science  Release,  presented  by  Mc- 
Graw-Hill Book  Co.,  330  West  42  St., 
New  York  36,  N.Y.;  $32.50  per  set.) 
Really  to  appreciate  poetry  and  the 
part  it  plays  in  our  lives  demands  some 
understanding  of  the  elements  that 
enter  into  the  writing  of  a  poem.  This 
series  analyzes  the  part  played  by  fig- 
ures of  speech,  sound  effects,  rhythm, 
stanza  and  verse  forms,  and  how  to 
set  about  writing  poetry.  Diagrams 
and  drawings  direct  our  attention  to 
the  importance  of  similes,  metaphors 
and  metonymy;  metrical  foot,  iambus, 
trochee  and  dactyl  are  all  illustrated 
for  us,  and  stanza,  octave  and  sonnet 
are  explained.  We  could  wish  that  a 
record  had  been  made  to  give  greater 
effectiveness  to  the  units  on  sound 
effects  and  rhythm;  so  much  of  the  en- 
joyment of  poetry  is  enhanced  if  it  is 
expressed  properly  when  read  aloud. 
The  series  is  well  adapted  to  work  in 
high  school  and  college  literature  and 
writing  courses. 

Picture  Book  Parade 
Filmstrip,  Series  II 

(8  strips,  color;  produced  by  Weston 
Woods  Studios,  Inc.,  Weston,  Conn.; 
$42  per  set,  |6.50  single  strips).  It  is 
always  refreshing  to  find  some  new 
story  material  available  in  visualized 
form.  In  this  instance  the  stories  are 
"Little  Toot,"  "Caps  for  Sale,"  "Andy 
and  the  Lion,"  "The  Circus  Baby," 
"The  Biggest  Bear,"  "The  Camel  Who 
Took  A  Walk,"  "Lemtil,"  "The  Little 
Red  Lighthouse."  Booklets  provide 
the  complete  story  texts,  and  this  mate- 
rial can  be  used  many,  many  times. 
Children  enjoy  hearing  stories  read 
over  and  over,  and  this  fact  should  be 
remembered  when  using  story  film- 
strips.  They  should  be  encouraged  to 
provide  the  story  narration  on  re- 
peated showings,  and  each  viewing  of 
a  filmstrip  can  be  made  an  occasion  for 
very  pleasant  language  work.  In  the 
original  storybooks  the  illustrations 
were  attractive,  and  this  same  quality 
has  been  retained  in  the  filmstrips.

track — voice,  music,  or  both — to  eco- 
nomical 8mm  film.  Student  interest 
and  retention  are  tremendously  height- 
ened; costs  are  kept  to  a  minimum. 
Think    of   the    convenience!  You    can 

show  the  same  film  to  junior  grades  in 
the  morning  that  you  show  to  more  ad- 
vanced grades  in  the  afternoon,  kc\ing 
the  sound  track  to  the  level  of  under- 
standing of  each  grade.  You  can  erase 
and  re-make  the  sound  track  as  often  as 
you  wish,  with  full  brilliance  and  fidel- 
ity'. And,  the  Elite  is  so  rugged,  so  fool- 
proof and  simple  to  operate  that  you 
need  no   specially  trained   personnel.

his  unmatched  knowledge  of  photo-

nological aspects  of  the  photo  industry 
and  the  fields  it  served.  He  joined  East- 
man in  1894,  retired  as  chairman  of  the

Ted  Knight,  his  puppet  "Suzy," 
Lassie  and  Jon  Provost  are  shown  in 
a  Lassie  segment  The  Puppet,  filmed 
by  Frendal  Productions,  Inc.,  for  tele- 
vision. Knight  also  appears  in 
Frcndal's  first  educational  film,  Let's 
Build  a  Boat.  The  I6mni  color  film 
was  prepared  under  the  supervision

cation and  is  intended  for  the  ele- 
mentary grades. 

Can  You  AfFord 
AV  Disasters? 

Reading  John  Borza's  story  (page 
533)  of  the  disastrous  flood  which  de- 
stroyed so  many  dollars  worth  of 
audiovisual  equipment  and  materials, 
makes  us  stop  and  think.  Think  of 
the  numerous  AV  libraries  and  equip- 
ment pools  housed  in  out-of-the-way 
places  —  abandoned  cellars,  rickety 
outbuildings,  space  judged  "unfit"  for 
any  other  purpose.  In  places  like  these 
equi|)nient  and  materials  fall  easy  prey 
to  water,  fire,  and  more  insidious 
dangers  such  as  abrasive  dust  and 
grime. 

How  do  schools  justify  stashing  away 
an  AV  center,  a  function  valuable  both 
in  terms  of  financial  investment  and 
educational  services  provided?  How 
can  they  afford  to  take  the  chance 
of  seeing  equipment,  for  which  they 
have  budgeted  long  and  hard,  and 
sometimes    irreplaceable    materials    go 


down  the  drain?    It  is  definitely  time 
to  Gel  AV  Out  of  the  Cellar! 

Videotape  for 
School  Use? 

After  noting  the  predictions  on  tht 
future  of  videotape  in  educational 
situations  (page  526),  some  of  oui 
readers  will,  we  hope,  come  up  with 
ideas  of  their  own  to  share  with  others 
It  is  very  possible  that  audiovisualist; 
connected  with  smaller  schools  oi 
school  systems  will  approach  the  prob 
lem  from  viewpoints  quite  different 
from  those  of  the  leaders  we  solicited 
and  equally  interesting. 


Articles  to  Come 


In  the  next  issues  we  will  presen- 
subjects  ranging  from  compIe> 
language  laboratory  installations  t( 
simple  scale  models,  used  to  brinf 
elementary  pupils  in  contact  with  th( 
areas  they  are  studying.  Readers  wil

and  the  efliorts  tliat  went  into  creatinf 
an  AV  center  in  an  already  establishec 
school.  Also  waiting  are  the  details  o 
a  Texas  project  in  more  efficient  staf 
utilization,  involving  teacher  teams 
clerical  aides,  and  of  course  audio 
visuals.

Texas  Instructional 
Materials  Conference 

"Secondary  in  importance  only  to 
the  teacher  in  our  educational  process 
is  the  material  she  makes  available  to 
her  children,"  Dr.  Chandos  Reid,  assist- 
ant to  the  superintendent  in  charge 
of  curriculum,  Waterford  Township 
Schools,  Pontiac,  Michigan,  told  curric- 
ulum supervisors,  teachers,  librarians 
and  audiovisual  consultants  attending 
The  University  of  Texas'  first  Coopera- 
tive Conference  on  Instructional  Ma- 
terials. 

Taking  as  its  theme,  "Extending 
Educational  Horizons  Through  Effec- 
tive Use  of  Instructional  Materials," 
the  conference  was  an  unusual  one 
from  the  standpoint  of  involvement. 
In  addition  to  the  Texas  Association 
of  Supervision  and  Curriculum  Devel- 
opment; the  School  Library  Division 
of  the  Texas  Library  Association  and 
the  Texas  State  Teachers  Association; 
and  the  Texas  Audio-Visual  Education 
Association,  sponsoring  organizations, 
many  members  of  the  academic  fac- 
ulty of  the  University  participated  in 
its  various  activities. 

Classroom  teachers  attending  the 
three-day  meeting  were  assured  by  Dr. 
Harold  Wigren,  educational  television 
consultant  for  the  National  Education 
Association  that  television  was  a  "neu- 
tral medium":  only  the  teacher  could 
make  it  what  it  was. 

Unique  feature  of  his  discussion  was 


News  About  People,  Organizations,  Events 


used  by  Mrs.  Nettie  Shaw  of  Carthage 
to  demonstrate  the  "cross-media"  ap- 
proach. 

Special  contribution  of  the  Summer 
Institute  was  four  group  sessions  on 
use  of  the  language  laboratory.  Super- 
vised by  staff  members,  these  groups 
learned  how  drill  tapes  were  prepared 
for  practice  and  repetition  and  how 
tape  recorders  and  earphones  were  re- 
placing the  lecture  method  in  the 
classroom. 

The  conference  provided  facilities 
for  preview  and  evaluation  of  teach- 
ing materials  in  the  areas  of  science, 
math  and  foreign  language.  Teaching 
displays  and  commercial  exhibits  also 
were  featured. 

In  a  summarizing  session,  the  group 
agreed  to  report  conference  proceed- 
ings to  local  groups;  permeate  the 
thinking  of  co-workers  for  better  utili- 
zation of  materials  through  pre-service 
education;  maintain  contact  with 
other  professional  groups;  and  work 
with  community  groups  in  utilizing 
materials  used   in   the   schools. 

Planning  the  conference  were  mem- 
bers of  participating  organizations: 
Mrs.  Irene  Davis,  Mrs.  Edith  Cosgrove 
and  Mrs.  Louise  Van  Meter,  Texas 
Library  Association:  Dr.  Gladys  Polk,

|.\Mi:s  W.  Hi  I. FISH,  Jr.,  is  the  new 
Director  of  Information  for  the  Na- 
tional Audio-Visual  Association.  He 
previously  served  as  Administrative 
.Assistant  to  the  Executive  Vice  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  Wholesale 
Grocers'    Association. 

Hal  F.  Riehi.e  has  been  appointed 
.Assistant  Chief,  .Audio-Visual  Center, 
at  the  United  States  Air  Force  Air 
University,  Maxwell  Air  Force  Base, 
Alabama.  He  will  coordinate  produc- 
tion of  instructional  materials  and  de- 
velop and  improve  teaching  methods 
involving  these  materials.  Previously, 
Mr.  Riehle  was  coordinator  of  audio- 
visual services  at  Northern  Illinois 
University  and  assistant  professor  in 
the  AV  departments  of  the  University 
of  Florida  and  Florida  State  Univer- 
sity. 


a  "feed-back"  session  in  which  in- 
formal groups  were  confronted  with 
two  questions:  "What  can  television 
teaching  do  that  no  otlier  medium  can 
do?"  and  "What  can  television  not  do 
that  a  teacher  or  other  learning  tool 
can  do?"  and  the  results  reported  back 
to  the  group. 

In  connection  with  local  implemen- 
tation of  the  National  Defense  Educa- 
tion Act,  Ralph  P.  Frazier,  specialist 
in  science  equipment  and  materials  for 
the  U.S.  Office  of  Education,  empha- 
sized two  ideas:  one,  that  care  and 
planning  must  go  into  the  selection  of 
ecjuipment  and  materials;  and  an- 
other, that  teachers  must  be  trained 
in  the  use  of  these  things. 

Utilizing  an  overhead  projector  to 
outline  new  developments  in  the  area 
of  science  teaching,  Dr.  Addison  Lee, 
director  of  the  Science  Education  Cen- 
ter in  the  University's  College  of  Edu- 
cation, explained  that  science  teachers 
must  find  ways  to  enable  individual 
students  achieve  educational  goals  on 
their  own  initiative  without  undue  re- 
liance on  the  teacher. 

Dr.  Lee  also  conducted  a  science 
teaching  demonstration  in  which  he 
employed  such  instructional  materials 
as  magnetic  board  models  and  time- 
lapse  photography  to  illustrate  a  biol- 
ogy lecture  on  the  chemical  composi- 
tion of  chromosomes.

ganized around  an  eighth  grade  sci- 
ence   unit,    "Properties   of    .Air,"   were

THE  OVERHEAD  PROJECTOR  keeps  the  teacher  in 

front  of  the  class,  projecting  his  own  slides,  facing  his  class  at 
all  times,  observing  reactions,  and  adjusting  his  presentation  to 
the  response  of  his  pupils. 

There  Is  no  need  for  a  separate  operator,  with  an  accom- 
panying system  of  signals.  The  projector  comp/emenis  the 
teacher  rather  than  replaces  him.  The  teacher  selects  his  own 
pace,  extemporizing  as  he  wishes;  commenting  before,  during, 
and  after  projection. 

He  uses  the  screen  as  a  blackboard,  writing  or  drawing  at 
will  on  slides  or  sheets  of  transparent  plastic,  without  turning 
away  from  his  class.  Single  or  multiple  sheets  of  film  are  easily 
superimposable  on  the  slides,  allowing  the  teacher  to  unmask 
transparencies  in  progressive  disclosures,  or  to  build  up  several 
components  into  a  composite  image. 

Slides  are  large  (8"  x  10")r  and  easy  to  make.  Rudimentary 
art  skills  produce  dramatic,  colorful  transparencies.

The  Art  of  Listening 


by  Olwyn  O^Connor 


__  HE  inability  of  our  people  to 
listen  is  a  direct  result  of  the  elec- 
tronic age  we  live  in.  Adjustment  to 
the  ever-increasing  sounds  about  us 
frecpiently  takes  the  form  of  uncon- 
sciously "tuning-out"  everything 
that  does  not  immediately  grasp 
and  hold  our  attention.  Since  lis- 
tening is  one  of  the  four  basic  com- 
ponents of  communication,  we  can 
ill  afford  to  ignore  the  significant 
noises  and  become  a  nation  of  poor 
listeners. 

Business  and  industry  recognize 
that  listening  deficiencies  prove 
costly  in  dollars  and  time  and  are 
currently  including  listening  com- 
prehension in  their  training  cour- 
ses. Colleges  and  universities  are 
beginning  to  offer  courses  in  lis- 
tening. 

Reading,  writing  and  speaking 
have  long  been  basic  educational 
curriculum,  but  listening  has,  until 
recently,  been  largely  ignored.  Edu- 
cators must  recognize  the  potential 
danger  and  work  toward  develop- 
ing listening  skills  with  the  young 
child. 

Good  listening  does  not  come 
about  through  mere  practice  unless 
we  are  practicing  good  listening 
habits.  If  we  can  teach  the  child 
listening  habits  that  develop  and 
refine  with  his  maturation,  a  signif- 
icant communication  problem  may 
well  be  solved.  The  "unlearning" 
of  poor  listening  habits  in  adult  life 
would   then   be   unnecessary. 

Audiovisual  equipment  and  mate- 
rials are  "naturals"  for  teaching  ef- 
fective listening  skills.  The  class- 
room orientation  prior  to  listening 
to  records,  viewing  films,  filmstrips, 
etc.,  establishes  a  favorable  frame 
of  reference  for  listening  and  see- 
ing. .Such  materials  also  illustrate 
the  inter-relationships  of  visual 
stimuli  in  conjunction  with  audio. 
Listening  is  thus  demonstrated  as 
not  just  hearing  but  as  a  composite 
awareness  and  interpretation  of  all 
stiniidi  jjresent. 

Group  listening  to  the  spoken 
word  or  music  provides  motivation 
for  the  individual  child's  attention. 


EdScreen  &  AV  Guide — October,    1959 


The  young  child,  by  his  very  na- 
ture, wants  to  conform  and  make 
the  same  overt  responses  as  his 
classmates. 

Program  repetition  is  recom- 
mended in  the  initial  experiments 
in  order  for  the  poor  listener  to 
practice  attentiveness  and  "hear" 
what  he  missed.  Introspection,  if 
encouraged,  will  provide  the  aver- 
age child  with  sufficient  knowledge 
of  his  individual  deficiencies  to 
demostrate  more  self  discipline 
when  the  next  program  is  pre- 
sented. 

The  use  of  folk  music,  for  ex- 
ample, may  be  successfully  used  to 
demonstrate  listening  skills  on  the 
elementary  level.  The  sea  chantys, 
war  songs,  work  songs,  etc.  tell  a 
story  as  well  as  give  insight  into 
the  daily  lives  of  the  people  de- 
picted. How  much  can  we  learn 
from  the  word  pictures  of  "The 
Erie  Canal"? 

At  more  advanced  level,  class- 
room discussion  of  radio  and  tele- 
vion  programs  are  especially  profit- 
able. Emphasis  and  detail  are  noted 
as  well  as  where  specific  intent  of 
program  was  lost  or  came  to 
fruition. 

The  tape  recorder  offers  obvious 
and  unlimited  possibilities  for  de- 
monstrating listening  skills. 

Person-to-Person  communication 
may  also  be  illustrated  via  audio- 
visual materials.  A  slide  is  placed  on 
the  screen  with  one-fourth  of  the 
class  viewing  it  while  the  remain- 
der are  out  of  the  room.  Each  of 
the  viewers  then  communicates  the 
details  of  the  slide  to  one  of  the 
second  fourdi,  etc.  The  last  fourth 
repeat  aloud  what  they  have  been 
told  by  the  third  fourth.  The  chain 
loss  in  oral  communication  is  easily 
and  enjoyably  demonstrated  by 
having  the  entire  class  view  the 
slide  together. 

If  statistical  research  surveys  are 
correct,  the  average  American 
spends  45  percent  of  his  waking 
hours  listening!!!  We  must  close 
this  instructional  gap  and  teach  our 
children  to  listen  to  learn  if  we  are 
to  fulfill  our  obligation  to  society.

Paul  C.  Reed 


We  have  just  seen  your  new  book,  and  we  are  disappointed  in  i 
In  fact,  we  just  cant  figure  out,  considering  all  the  care  and  atier 
tion  you  gave  to  the  preparation  of  this  book,  why  you  treate 
audiovisual  materials  and  equipment  the  way  you  did. 

We  fear  that  local  and  state  school  authorities  may  be  misguide 
about  audiovisual  materials  and  equipment  in  relation  to  th 
National  Defense  Education  Act,  if  they  follow  too  closely  you 
"Purchase  Guide  for  Programs  in  Science,  Mathematics,  Moderl 
Foreign  Languages."  The  trouble  is  that  for  the  most  part  you 
Guide  deals  with  AV  materials  and  equipment  quite  indifferenth 
and  there  are  some  serious  omissions.  Although  audio  equipmcn 
is  an  integral  part  of  the  language  laboratory  recommendation: 
when  it  comes  to  the  science  and  mathematics  part  of  the  Guide 
audiovisual  materials  are  regarded  as  relatively  unimportant  an' 
not  essential. 

Your  Guide  purports  to  tell  school  authorities  "what  to  purchas 
and  how  to  get  full  value  for  school  funds  expended."  But  let  u 
cite  just  three  unfortunate  examples  with  reference  to  audiovisua

different  kincls  of  globes  in  a  general  science  classroom,  nameh 
Ulank,  Celestial,  Hall  Tellurian,  and  Terrestrial,  than  it  is  to  have 
still  or  motion  picture  projector!  (2)  You  have  completely  ignore 
the  existence  of  such  an  important  and  valuable  tool  as  the  opaqu 
projector!  Its  value  in  science  classrooms  has  been  proved  over  am 
over  again  in  the  past  fifty  years.  (3)  You  recommend  standardizin 
on  projector  stands  "sturdily  constructed  of  wood"  when  no  rej; 
utable  audiovisual  dealer  has  sold  such  a  piece  of  equipment  ii 
the  past  decade! 

As  further  evidence  of  the  disappointing  treatment  you  give  t< 
audiovisual  materials,  you  list  seventy-four  columns  of  books  tha 
would  be  helpful  to  schools,  and  you  don't  name  a  single  motioi 
picture,  filmstrip,  lantern  slide,  tape  recording,  or  phonograpl 
record.  You  list  nearly  two  hundred  publishers  and  book  dealers 
and  you  don't  name  a  single  producer  of  audiovisual  materials  o 
a  single  audiovisual  dealer. 

Such  oversights  raise  a  lot  of  questions: 

What  happened?  Why  have  you  treated  aftdiovisual  matters  ii 
this  way? 

Why  did  you  work  so  closely  with  The  Scientific  Apparatu 
Makers  Association  who  "supplied  substantial  fimds  to  provide  fo 
the  necessary  special  staff  in  the  National  Bureau  of  Standards'! 
and  not  at  all  with  the  National  Audio- Visual  Association? 

Why  did  you  have  a  subcommittee  of  "officials  and  technica 
personnel  from  companies  manufacturing  scientific  instnuncnt 
and  apparatus,"  and  not  consult  at  all  with  manufacturers  of  audio 
visual  equipment? 

Why  is  it  that  among  the  one  hundred  thirty-three  educators  tc 
w-hom  you  acknowledge  "with  appreciation  their  generous  contri 
butions"  only  two  have  any  distinction  or  connection  with  the 
professional  audiovisual  field? 

Why  did  you  have  the  assistance  of  the  American  Association  o 
School  Librarians  and  the  American  Library  Association  and  noi 
that  of  the  N.E.A.  Department  of  Audiovisual  Instruction  and  the

You  can  see.  Sirs,  that  not  only  are  we  disappointed  in  the  Pur

Al  the  new  Canlinal  Mooney  High  School,  Youngstown,  Ohio,  selected  by  A.A.S.A. 
for    its   exhibit   of   outstanding    school    designs,    Sister    Marijone,    O.    P.,    says: 


"Modern  facilities  and  up-to-date  equipment  give  these 
boys  a  better  picture  of  the  tomorrow  they'll  live  in." 


"In  our  Air-Science  course,  for  instance,  we  ride  with 
jet  planes,  track  rockets  into  space,  follow  missiles  to  a 
target,  explore  the  surface  of  the  moon,  look  into  the 
heart  of  a  wind  tunnel.  This  course  is  filled  with  similar 
interesting  and  important  modern-age  experiences.  Yet, 
without  the  contemporary  facilities  this  new  school 
offers,  such  a  course  would  be  impractical.  Without 
up-to-date  audio-visual  equipment  like  this  Kodak 
Pageant  movie  projector,  such  a  course  would  be  next 
to  impossible." 

Concern  for  the  future  of  today's  youngsters  must 


entail  similar  concern  for  adequate  teaching  facilities 
and  reliable  equipment.  The  Kodak  Pageant  16mm 
Sound  Projector  more  than  satisfies  school  standards 
for  projectors.  You'll  see  its  above-normal  picture  bril- 
liance in  only  half-darkened  rooms. 

You  never  need  to  oil  it,  never  need  to  keep  oiling

after  one  try.

Videotape  installation   (RCA) 


Videotape  recording  is  one  of  the  challenging  netv  electronic 
-materials  for  communication.  Up  until  notu,  its  use  has  been 
pretty  tvell  confined  to  the  recording  of  material  to  he  trans- 
mitted by  television.  Does  it  hold  other  prom^ises  for  educa- 
tion? Is  it  a  challenge  to  film? 

The  predictions,  often  frankly  dreams,  of  m^any  of  the  fore- 
m^ost  leaders  in  the  audiovisual  field  are  here  presented  in 
symposium. 


A  HE  Industrial  Revolution  occurred  when 
it  became  possible  to  reproduce  endlessly  the 
work  of  a  master  craftsman.  Moveable  type, 
film  and  tape  recordings  have  revolutionized  the 
making  of  duplicate  records  of  information.  A 
revolution  in  communication  has  occurred  when 
we  can  bring  a  rich,  full-bodied  event  to  the 
individual  instead  of  taking  him  to  the  event. 
Videotape  provides  a  unique,  revolutionary,  new 
instrument  for  this  purpose. 

Etlgar  Dale 
Professor  of  Education 
Ohio  State  University 

A  really  do  not  see  the  challenge,  from  an  edu- 
cational point  of  view,  of  "videotape  recording." 


What  does  videotape  offer,  other  than  immediate 
playback,  that  is  not  now  provided  through  mo- 
tion pictiue  film?  I  can  appreciate  the  value  of 
immediacy  in  programming  news  and  other 
public  information  TV  programs.  Hut  so  far 
as  instructional  materials  for  school  use  are  con- 
cerned, immediacy  of  playback  is  of  secondary  or 
even  tertiary  importance. 

We  certainly  do  not  select  textbooks  solely 
on  the  basis  of  the  recency  of  their  printing. 
Neither,  1  believe,  should  we  select  otiier  instruc- 
tional materials  on  tiie  basis  of  such  a  criterion. 
Whether  an  AV  instructional  presentation  is  on 
videotape  or  motion  picture  film  is  immaterial 
—just  as  it  is  immaterial  whether  an  audio  pres- 
entation is  on  disc  or  tape.  We  should  be  con- 
cerned   with    what    is    presented    rather    than

whether  the  presentation  be  done  electronically, 
mechanically,  or  optically.  Let's  leave  the 
methodology  of  presentation  to  the  scientists 
and  engineers.  We  have  our  own  problems  in 
improving  educational  materials.

IDEOTAPING  promises  in  the  near  future 
to  make  educational  TV  programs  generally 
available  at  a  choice  of  broadcast  times,  reducing 
class  scheduling  difficulties  in  schools.  This  off- 
the-air  videotaping  is  still  beyond  our  grasp 
with  regard  to  design  and  cost  but  is  coming 
closer,  with  enormous  potential  impact  on  AV 
resource  programs.  Now,  looming  in  the  distance, 
we  see  the  even  more  fascinating  possibility  of 
electronic  photography  ultimately  replacing  the 
chemical  processes  on  which  existing  cameras 
and  projectors  are  based.  Resultant  technical 
efficiency  gains,  and  reductions  in  duplicating 
costs  are  hard  to  estimate  potentially  but  too 
important  to  neglect  in  the  very  long  view.

LAGNETIC  tape  recordings  are  presently 
serving  as  "memory  aids"  for  complex  electronic 
brains  and  are  also  being  used  as  the  control 
elements  in  the  guidance  of  missiles  and  rockets. 
Video  magnetic  tape  is  becoming  more  and  more 
in  use  for  recording  television  programs  for 
future  telecasting.  These,  and  many  other  inter- 
esting developments  in  the  magnetic  tape  re- 
cording field,  have  tremendous  implications  for 
education. 

Sometime  in  the  foreseeable  future  there  will 
be  one  basic  audiovisual  machine  in  every  class- 
room. This  one  machine  will  replace  motion 
picture,  filmstrip,  slide,  opaque,  overhead,  and 
micro-projectors.  It  will  also  replace  record  play- 
ers, tape  recorders,  radio  and  television  receivers, 
and  small  public  address  units.  This  machine 
will  be  capable  of  doing  everything  all  the  above 
named  devices  can  do  including  presenting  ma- 
terials in  color. 

What  will  it  be  like?  1  predict  it  will  look 
somewhat  like  a  combination  of  a  television  re- 
ceiver and  a  tape  recorder.  The  screen  will  be 
much  larger  than  present  television  screens  and 
will  be  (lat  similar  to  a  framed  picture  instead 
of  elongated  like  the  TV  picture  tubes  of  today. 
.\l.so,  scanning  lines  will  not  be  as  apparent  as 
they  are  in  today's  receivers.    The  picture  qual- 


ity will  be  far  superior  to  either  the  projected 
or  television  pictures  of  today.  There  will  be 
improved  tonal  and  color  quality. 

What  will  these  audiovisual  machines  do?  I 
predict  that  pre-recorded  video  tapes,  similar 
to  present  day  educational  films,  will  be  available 
in  ample  quantity  to  meet  the  needs  of  a  space 
age  educational  system  and  these  tapes  will  be 
retained  in  each  individual  school  for  immediate 
use  when  needed.  Filmstrips,  slides,  opaque  pic- 
tures, and  transparencies  will  also  be  available 
on  pre-recorded  tapes  by  use  of  the  film-o-graph 
technique.  Of  course,  these  machines  will  re- 
ceive and  reproduce  television  and  radio  pro- 
grams, and  its  tape  mechanism  will  do  every- 
thing present  date  tape  recorders  will  do. 

While  it  is  predicted  there  will  be  such  a  ma- 
chine as  described  above  in  every  classroom,  there 
will  be  a  second  machine  but  probably  only  one 
per  school.  This  second  machine  will  have  the 
capability  for  recording  on  magnetic  tape  all 
kinds  of  pictures  and  sounds.  It  will  be  capable 
of  recording  on  tape  television  and  radio  pro- 
grams, motion  pictures  from  film,  filmstrip,  flat 
pictures,  transparencies,  objects  and  models,  even 
live  action.  This  recorder  will  permit  the  teacher 
to  prepare  almost  any  type  of  visual  and/or 
auditory  materials  for  presentation  to  classes. 

A  revolution  in  education  is  overdue.  In  my 
opinion  education  has  made  possible  the  tre- 
mendous technological  advances  of  today;  now 
it  is  time  for  these  technological  advances  to 
make  possible  an  education  suitable  for  the 
space  age.  If  we  do  not  have  this  educational 
revolution  we  will  have  the  tragic  consequences 
of  education's  child  (our  modern  culture)  look- 
ing after  an  old  out-dated  and  senile  educa- 
tional system,  which  will  not  be  able  to  produce 
an  educated  people  capable  of  coping  with  the 
requirements  of  a  space  age.  If  this  educational 
revolution  does  materialize,  it  will  result  in 
achievements  far  beyond  our  greatest  dreams.

V^RY.STAL-gazing  in  videotape  in  education 
is  a  precarious  business,  since  the  educational 
utility  of  this  new  device  depends  on:  (1)  engi- 
neering ingenuity,  (2)  educational  changeover  to 
electronics,  and  (3)  educational  acceptance  of 
the  electronic  age. 

To  any  one  familiar  with  inventiveness  in  the 
exploding  field  of  electronics,  the  foreseeable 
achievements  seem  almost  without  limits.  It  is 
easy  to  foresee  the  direct  feed-in  of  videotape  to 
the  TV  classroom  receiver.  This  will  require 
(a)  modification  of  the  receiver  to  accept  signals 
from  the  tape  and   (b)  reiluction  in  tape  cost  by

several  orders  of  magnitude.  Once  this  is 
achieved,  tape  rather  than  film  can  become  the 
commodity  of  motion  pictures  in  education. 

Picture  quality  on  a  21"  receiver  will  certainly 
not  be  reduced  by  videotape.  For  large  screen 
projection,  e.g.,  for  large  classroom  or  audi- 
torium u.se,  the  problem  of  picture  quality  is 
more  complicated.  Available  big-screen  TV  pro- 
jectors are  far  from  satisfactory.  The  problem 
of  the  large  TV  screen  is  that  of  the  separation 
of  the  horizontal  scan  lines  of  the  present  TV 
system.  TV  involves  optical  scanning,  photog- 
raphy does  not.  However,  since  the  theory 
of  electronics  is  very  well  developed  (in  con- 
trast with  that  of  photography),  the  scanning 
problem  is  easily  reducible  to  engineering  tech- 
nology and  the  technologists  are  very  clever 
fellows. 

Given  the  technological  developments,  the  pro- 
duction of  tape  libraries  for  school  use,  and  the 
phased  changeover  from  film  to  tape,  the  limits 
of  videotape  in  education  are  largely  those  of 
limitations  of  the  imagination,  creativeness,  and 
downright  professional  competence  of  school  ad- 
ministrators and  teachers.  The  handwriting  on 
the  wall  is:  "Get  ready  for  the  electronic  age  in 
education  tool"

J.  HE  more  I  look  at  the  development  in  the 
area  of  instructional  tools,  the  more  I  am  con- 
vinced that  we  are  going  to  need  better  teachers 
to  use  these  aids  efficiently.  It  seems  to  me  that 
the  more  choices  the  teacher  has  to  make  as  to 
materials  and  devices,  the  better  educated  the 
teacher  will  need  to  be  in  order  to  make  the 
proper  choice  to  fit  the  needs  of  the  class.  With 
the  wonderful  new  electronic  aids  being  de- 
veloped, we  some  times  fail  to  recognize  this 
fact. 

Although  the  videotape  recorder  is  still  too 
costly  and  complicated  to  consider  for  immedi- 
ate use  in  the  classroom,  I  feel  it  has  great  po- 
tential. Think  of  what  the  creative  teacher  could 


do  with  this  device  in  the  way  of  local  produc- 
tion. TV  programs  can  be  easily  taken  off  the 
air  and  used  at  a  time  when  they  will  fit  the 
classroom  instruction.  Due  to  its  flexibility,  the 
material  not  needed  can  be  quickly  edited  out. 
Questions,  visuals,  comments  could  be  inserted 
to  make  the  audiovisual  material  fit  the  specific 
class  situation.  Teachers  could  photograph  dem- 
onstrations, field  trips,  outstanding  events,  for 
use  in  the  classroom.  The  videotape  recording 
in  the  hands  of  a  creative  teacher  has  unlimited 
possibilities.  In  the  hands  of  the  non-imaginative 
teacher,  it  is  but  another  tool  to  complicate  the 
teaching  situation.

E  all  know  how  much  today's  tape  recorder 
has  contributed  to  our  capacity  as  teachers  to 
provide  a  variety  of  essential  audio  learning  ex- 
periences. To  any  number  of  teachers,  the  tape 
recorder  is  the  teaching  tool,  par  excellence:  To 
me  it  seems  only  logical  to  suppose  that  the  video- 
tape recorder,  combining  in  effect  the  advantages 
of  the  present  tape  recorder  with  those  of  the 
motion  picture  camera,  will  similarly  influence 
teaching.  If  the  spread  of  use  of  the  videotape 
recorder  were  also  to  be  accompanied  by  a  corre- 
S])onding  increase  in  the  number  of  trained 
audiovisual  materials  specialists  to  work  directly 
with  teachers  to  adapt  this  and  other  media  to 
educational  purposes,  residts  coidd  be  revolu-

JtlLECTRONIC  canning  of  television  images 
and  sounds  on  videotape  presents  an  even  greater 
challenge  to  educators  than  the  advent  of  tele- 
vision. For  the  present,  videotape  cost  is  pro- 
hibitive for  extensive  educational  use.  However 
with  experience  and  improvement  of  the  art  as 
it  is  applied  to  business,  industry  and  professional 
needs  its  cost  will  be  reduced  to  a  fraction  of  its 
present  level.  When  this  occurs,  educators  will 
have  an  instrument  which  will  provide  the  flexi- 
bility needed  to  apply  the  medium  of  television 
to  the  whole  gamut  of  education.  Perhaps  video- 
tape will  simply  be  another  item  in  the  kit  of 
tools  we  already  have.  However,  since  it  is  ap- 
parent that  most  schools  are  going  to  be  equipped 
with  television  receivers,  I  wonder  whether  the 
TV  screen  via  videotape  may  not  become  most 
often  used  device  for  presenting  visual  images  in 
the  classrooms.  As  such  we  may  find  the  celhdoid 
film  and  the  motion  picture  as  we  know  them  to- 
day obsolete.  Film  libraries  will  then  become 
tape  libraries  and  other  revolutionary  changes 
in  audiovisual  education  will  follow.

X  HE  forward  march  of  progress  in  communi- 
cation media  is  increasingly  becoming  a  race 
with  our  ability  to  make  intelligent  use  of  them 
in  education.  Videotape  is  one  example  of  this. 
At  a  period  when  educators,  generally,  are  still 
a  bit  hesitant  aboiu  employing  motion  pictures 
and  TV  as  integral  rather  than  peripheral  tools 
of  instruction,  we  have  the  prospect  of  an  in- 
strument which  can  readily  and  accurately  re- 
cord any  audiovisual  impression  from  anywhere 
and  play  it  back,  when  desired,  at  the  push  of  a 
button. 

But  one  thing  seems  certain  —  that  teacher 
education  and  teaching  methods  must  adjust 
much  more  rapidly  in  the  future  than  they  have 
in  the  past  or  the  primary  responsibility  for 
educating  our  society  will  pass  from  the  schools 
and  colleges  as  we  know  them  into  the  hands 
of  other,  and  probably  less  desirable,  agencies.

XN  the  future  videotape  recording  will  be  an 
everytlay  tool,  indispensable  in  many  teaching 
situations.  For  example,  teacher  trainees  and 
students  of  public  speaking  can  see  and  hear 
themselves  immediately.  Surgical  operations, 
videotaped  in  color,  can  be  re-run  to  emphasize 
techniques  for  students  and  practicing  surgeons. 
Closed-circuit  and  broadcast  ETV  instruction  can 
be  taped  for  later  use  to  avoid  schedide  con- 
flicts Busy  administrators  can  record  instruc- 
tions with  visual  demonstrations  for  viewing  by 
teachers  and  staff  at  times  convenient  to  all.  In 
other  words,  VTR  will  be  taken  for  granted  and 
used  as  much  as  imagination  will  permit.

of  the  production  is  maintained,  since  progres- 
sive deterioration  peculiar  to  film  is  substantially 
reduced  with  tape. 

Limitations  of  space  do  not  permit  really 
delving  into  this  fascinating  subject.  The  fol- 
lowing items  still  should  be  covered: 

(1)  Centralize  records  on   videotape. 

(2)  Magnetic  tape  niateriajs  for  use  in  still 
cameras  with  electronic  translators  for 
immediate  reproductions. 

(3)  Maps,  charts  and  graphs  recorded  on  3x5 
sheets  of  moimted  magnetic  tape.  In  use 
these  would  be  inserted  in  a  slot-like  de- 
vice for  reproductions  in  full  color  and 
3D  on  the  flat  classroom  viewing  screen.

X  HE  introduction  of  videotape  recording  in 
the  field  of  communication  parallels  the  coming 
of  the  jet  engine  into  the  field  of  transportation. 
Just  as  the  jet  engine  has  introduced  a  new  con- 
cept in  transportation,  so  videotape  recording  will 
challenge  each  of  us  to  study  and  analyze  the 
impact  which  it  will  bring  in  the  field  of  com- 
munication. Within  the  next  decade  or  two,  we 
can  anticipate  many  modifications  which  will 
make  it  possible  for  videotape  to  replace  film 
in  the  transmission  of  ideas.  Only  as  we  grasp 
the  significance  and  importance  of  this  tech- 
nological development  will  we  be  able  to  modify 
our  attitudes  to  accept  this  medium  of  com- 
munication in  our  educational  activities.  Video- 
tape will  find  its  proper  place  in  the  constella- 
tion of  communication's  media  and  will  partially 
or  entirely  replace  our  traditional  method  of 
communicating  by  motion  picture  film.

T  seems  reasonable  to  predict  that  videotape 
will  ultimately  replace  film  for  use  in  what  we 
now  know  as  16mm  motion  picture  projectors. 
Of  course  this  change  will  require  a  radical  re- 
ilesign  of  equipment,  but  the  outcomes  will  be 
dramatic  and  the  advantages  considerable.  The 
electronic  approach  provides  a  virtually  un- 
limited soiuce  of  illumination  for  actual  daylight 
projection  in  any  classroom  situation.  Central 
tape  depositories  will  replace  film  libraries  for 
school  systems  and  districts,  and  will  receive 
newly  released  productions  via  special  channel 
radio  broadcasts  or  transmissions  on  coaxial 
cable  to  enable  such  subscribers  to  quickly  re- 
cord the  latest  items.  Once  the  master  tape  is 
made  any  number  of  high-speed  "dups"  can  be 
produced  as  needed  to  fill  all  requests  from 
schools  on  the  exact  date  desired.  In  this  way, 
storage  of  midtiple  prints  and  their  attendant 
obsolescence  are  eliminated.  Splicing-in  repair 
footage  also  becomes  a  thing  of  the  past,  and  in- 
spection is  necessary  only  to  remove  worn  pieces 
of  ta]3e  since  a  new  recording  is  made  for  each 
order.    In  this  way,  almost  the  original  quality 


A  HE  videotape  recorder  is  potentially  the  most 
promising  educational  tool  for  the  analysis  and 
improvement  of  tasks  heretofore  considered 
"hopelessly"  complex.  By  this  means  the  learner 
can  perform  his  task  and  can,  immediately  after- 
wards, see  and  gauge  the  direction  and  magni- 
tude of  his  errors.  In  other  words,  the  recorder 
provides  the  most  necessary  ingredient  in  moti- 
vated learning— "immediate  feedback."

X  HE  future  of  videotape  in  non-TV  applica- 
tions lends  itself  very  well  to  "dreaming,"  as 
long  as  one  is  in  a  position  to  ignore  two  rather 
important  aspects:  cost,  both  initial  and  upkeep; 
and  the  technical  skills  needed  to  operate  and 
maintain  the  equipment. 

Any  dreams  relating  videotape   recording   to

wide  usage  in  any  but  the  wealthiest  schools 
must  be  predicated  upon  an  impending  break- 
through in  technical  developments  which  will 
remove  videotape  recording  from  its  present 
costly  shackles.  Unless  videotape  is  something 
other  than  a  plastic  strip  with  a  magnetic  coat- 
ing, it  seems  unlikely  that  costs  will  be  reduced 
appreciably. 

But  the  new  techniques  will  come;  we  only 
lack  foresight  as  to  the  date.  Our  dreams  should 
include  a  challenge  to  the  inventors  and  de- 
signers to  hasten  the  technological  progress  which 
will  lead  to  a  new,  less  costly  method  of  ultra- 
wide-range  recording.  I  believe  that  the  inclusion 
of  this  reservation  will  lend  credence  to  these 
forecasts  and  will  lead  the  uniformed  not  to  ex- 
pect too  much  from  the  industry.

J..  Videotape  will  bring  picture  language  much 
closer  to  the  written  word  in  terms  of  immediacy 
and  availability.  On  of  the  impediments  to  pic- 
ture communication  is  the  great  time  and  effort 
it  takes.  In  the  future— letters  may  be  interper- 
sonal face-to-face  exchanges,  minutes  of  meetings 
may  be  re-enactments  of  all  the  subtleties  of 
human  interplay,  hearing  a  language  will  in- 
volve much  seeing  as  well  as  hearing  of  the 
learner's  performance. 

II.  Feedback  will  be  greatly  enriched  by  pic- 
tures, with  perhaps  some  startling  effects,  (a) 
Many  of  the  human  inconsistencies  and  much 
of  the  ignorance  due  to  mismatches  between  ver- 
bal labels  and  the  real  world  will  be  removed. 
The  correcting  and  compensating  effects  of  pic- 
torial feedback  would  be  much  more  readily 
available  and  would  occur  much  more  frequently 
if  videotape  were  widely  used,  (b)  What  will 
happen  when  the  human  image  becomes  as 
familiar  to  its  owner  as  his  handwriting?  Will 
the  sight  of  his  own  behavior  in  many  situations 
make  him  introvert  or  extrovert,  conformer  or 
reformer,  follower  or  leader,  well  adjusted  or 
maladjusted?  Can  the  student  in  screening  the 
tape  for  the  previous  day  take  a  more  detached 
and  dispassionate  view  of  a  school  situation  that 
was  highly  charged  at  the  time? 

III.  In  the  school  situation  many  uses  could  be 
made  of  videotape.  The  following  presuppose 
two  things:  that  classroom  activities  would  be 
fully  documented  at  frequent  intervals  each  year, 
and  these  records  be  so  catalogued  as  to  make 
any  unit  readily  available,  (a)  Pictorial  report 
cards  would  provide  parents  with  unique  in- 
sights into  Johnny's  behavior.  These  should 
probably  be  screened  by  parents  and  teachers 
together— and  perhaps  in  part  with  Johnny,  (b) 
Teachers  coidd  much  more  rationally  evaluate 
pupil  growth  by  comparing  earlier  with  later 
taped  performances,  (c)  Thorough  case  studies 
of  problem  children  could  be  made  by  retracing 
the  sequence  of  events  through  their  years  in 
school.  Equally  important  studies  could  be  made 
of  successful  children,  (d)  Teacher  training 
could  come  out  of  the  ethereal  world  of  books 
about  children  and  curriculum  and  learning. 
Student  teachers  would  already  have  "been  in" 
many    classroom    situations,    "experienced"    in- 


dividual differences  among  students,  "partici- 
pated" in  discipline  problems,  etc.,  via  tape  be- 
fore doing  it  themselves. 

If  all  this  should  come  true,  two  dramatically 
opposite  outcomes  are  possible.  Tapes  could 
become  a  bencvf)leiit  instrument  conducive  to 
fuller  understanding,  respect  and  support  for  the 
teacher.  Or  they  could  become  a  vicious  instru- 
ment of  partisan  control  of  the  teacher.

'N  an  evening  early  in  May,  Ralph  E.  Lovell, 
a  member  of  my  seminar  at  UCLA,  was  describ- 
ing for  us  a  new  system  of  editing  videotape, 
developed  by  himself  and  others  at  the  NBC 
studios   in   Burbank. 

A  few  short  months  ago  videotape  was  still  in 
the  experimental  stage.  Today  it  is  much  in  use 
in  television,  because  it  reproduces  visual  and 
auditory  images  with  high  fidelity  and  can  be 
edited  with  precision. 

Will  videotape  and  education  join  hands?  Of 
course  they  will.  But  when,  where,  and  under 
what  circumstances  none  of  us  can  predict.  In 
our  feeling  of  high  esteem  for  the  handiwork  of 
the  electronics  engineers,  we  must  not  forget  that 
to  a  child  perceiving  an  image  on  the  screen,  the 
technique  of  putting  the  image  before  him  is 
not  as  important  as  is  the  image  itself.  We  still 
need  to  know  much  more  about  how  children 
learn.

Some  responding  experts  pre- 
dicted no  real  educational 
future  for  videotape.   Here 
are  their  comments 


Xn  view  of  my  complete  ignorance  in  regard 
to  videotape  recordings,  I  am  afraid  that  what  I 
might  have  to  say  would  perhaps  be  as  enlighten- 
ing as  what  glass  makers  have  to  say  about 
"Visual  Aids."  In  view  of  this,  for  me  to  attempt 
to  jot  down  any  thoughts  that  I  might  have  on 
this  subject  would  be  at  a  disservice  to  the  read- 
ers of  our  magazine. 


I  really  don't  know  enough  about  videotape  to 
make  any  pronouncement.  I  am  hoping  to  learn 
more  about  it  and  will  look  forward  to  seeing 
what  other  people  have  to  say  in  your  symposium. 


I'm  sorry,  but  I  don't  think  I  should  partici- 
pate in  your  symposium  on  videotape  recording. 
The  reason  is  that  I  don't  like  to  take  a  negative 
viewpoint,  but  I  have  very  little  faith  in  the 
future  of  videotape  recording  for  educational 
purposes.  I  know  it  will  find  some  sort  of  a 
place,  but  1  can't  feel  that  it  will  be  really  used, 
as  our  present  audiovisual  media  are.

The  Videotape  Recorder 


by  Robert  A.  Miner 


Reprinted  with  permission  from  the  Journal  of  the  Nation- 
al   Association    of    educational    Broadcasters,    May,     1959. 


I 


N  April,  1956,  a  new  and  unexpected  inven- 
tion called  a  videotape  recorder  suddenly  cap- 
tured headlines  on  newspaper  front  pages, 
throughout  the  nation.  The  influential  New 
York  rimes,  in  its  front-page  article,  forecast  that 
"electronic  photography"  would  have  implica- 
tions far  beyond  the  television  service  for  which 
it  had  been  invented.  The  excitement  in  the 
broadcast  industry  trade  press  was  nothing  less 
than  tumultuous.  What,  exactly,  then,  was  this 
new  invention  —  the  videotape  recorder  —  which 
had  created  such  a  stir? 

In  its  simplest  terms,  the  videotape  recorder 
is  a  device  which  records  on  a  strip  of  magnetic 
tape  the  electrical  signals  which  emerge  from 
a  television  camera  system,  very  much  as  the 
familiar  audio  tape  recorder  records  on  a  narrow 
strip  of  magnetic  tape  the  electrical  signal  which 
emerges  from  a  microphone  system.  All  the 
things  which  audio  tape  recording  did  for  sound, 
the  videotape  recorder  is  capable  of  doing  for 
television;  the  machine  will  record  both  picture 
and  sound,  as  it  is  being  picked  up  in  the  studio, 
and  immediately  replay  both  picture  and  sound, 
without  a  trace  of  visible  deterioration.  Like  an 
audio  tape,  a  television  tape  recording  can  be 
erased,  and  a  new  recording  placed  on  the  same 
tape,  over  and  over,  as  desired.  Like  an  audio 
recorder,  the  videotape  recorder  is  push-button 
operated,  and  capable  of  full  picture  and  sound 
fidelity  in  the  hands  of  a  relatively  inexperienced 
operator.  (Maintenance  on  the  videotape  re- 
corder, like  maintenance  on  all  television  equip- 
ment, naturally  requires  the  services  of  a  trained 
expert.)  Like  an  audio  tape,  a  television  tape 
recording  can  be  recorded  on  one  machine  and 
played  back  on  another,  or  copies  of  the  original 
tape  can  be  made  and  played  back  on  many 
other  machines. 

Physically,  the  videotape  recorder,  as  it  is 
manufactured  today,  consists  of  a  handsome  con- 
sole, a  little  bigger  than  a  kitchen  range,  on 
which  the  tape  is  loaded  and  threaded,  and  on 
which  are  located  the  meters,  dials,  and  push- 
buttons with  which  it  is  operated,  and  two 
cabinets  of  a  size  and  type  found  throughout 
radio  and  television  broadcasting,  which  con- 
tain the  electronics  chassis  that  are  used  to 
amplify,  modulate,  and  otherwise  process  the 
television  signals. 

In  use,  the  videotape  recorder  is  a  convenient 
high  fidelity  recorder  and  reproducer  of  televi- 
sion sound  and  pictures,  and  may  accurately 
be  regarded  as  the  television  counterpart  of  the 
professional  high-fidelity  sound  tape  recorder. 
It  is  not,  of  course,  a  sort  of  electrical  counter- 
part of  a  moving-picture  camera.  Just  as  the 
recording  of  soimd  recjuires  one  or  more  micro- 


phones, artistically  placed  for  best  pick-up,  video- 
tape recording  requires  one  or  more  television 
cameras,  artistically  placed  for  best  picture  pick- 
up, and,  of  course,  one  or  more  microphones  to 
pick  up  the  sound  which  accompanies  the  pic- 
ture. Just  as  good  sound  recordings  are  "moni- 
tored" by  experts  during  the  recording  session, 
television  tape  recordings  are  monitored  by 
skilled  television  directors  and  technicians,  to 
insure  good  picture  recording.  The  physical 
equipment  required  to  make  a  television  tape 
recording  is  exactly  the  same  as  that  required 
to  produce  a  good  television  broadcast  —  televi- 
sion camera,  television  cameraman,  studio  moni- 
tor, and  skilled  studio  monitoring  technicians  — 
the  difference  being  that  the  electrical  signal 
which  contains  the  picture  information  is  fed 
through  cables  to  the  videotape  recorder,  in- 
stead of  being  fed  to  a  television  transmitter. 
The  videotape  recorder  "remembers"  every  de- 
tail which  is  fed  to  it,  and  will  replay,  in  electri- 
cal form,  the  information  it  has  received  through 
cables,  over  and  over,  as  desired. 

Videotape  recording,  thus,  is  a  wholly  new 
way  of  storing  moving  pictorial  information,  a 
memory  for  the  television  camera,  which  does 
not  depend  upon  chemicals,  which  is  capable  of 
immediate  replay,  and  whose  medium  can  be 
erased  and  re-used  many  times  over.  In  many 
ways,  it  is  a  supplement  to  motion  picture  pho- 
tography, and  in  other  ways,  most  of  them  in 
television,  it  is  a  replacement  for  photography. 
New  functions,  which  never  before  could  be  per- 
formed, are  now  within  reach  through  videotape 
recording;  some  functions  which  photography  has 
handled  in  the  past  can  now  be  handled  more 
conveniently  and  efficiently  through  videotape 
recording;  and,  of  course,  just  as  television  has 
not  replaced  motion  pictures,  many  services,  such 
as  theater  motion  pictures,  are  unaffected  by 
videotape  recording. 

The  ]jrincipal  application  of  videotape  re- 
cording to  date  has  been  in  the  field  of  com- 
mercial television.  Most  of  the  performance 
abilities  of  this  recorder  which  led  to  its  accept- 
ance by  commercial  television  also  lead  to  appli- 
cations in  the  educational  television  field.  Some 
of  these  applications  have  been  grouped  together 
and  outlined  below. 

I.  Many  applications  are  related  to  the  pre- 
recording of  TV  lessons.  Such  pre-recording 
applications  include  the  following: 

(a)  A  pre-recorded  backlog  of  TV  lessons  in 
each  course  can  be  developed  for  use  when  the 
TV  teacher  is  unable  to  be  present  for  reasons 
such  as  schedule  conflicts,  etc. 

(b)  The  schedules  of  outside  talent  will  not 
necessarily  coincide  with  the  most  desirable  time 
for  TV  presentation  to  students.    Such  schedule 


idScreen  Gr  AV  Guide — October    1959 


531 


ronflicts  can  be  eliminated  through  pre-recording 
of  programs. 

(c)  TV  lessons  will  frequently  benefit  students 
in  another  TV  area  outside  of  that  covered  by 
the  originating  TV  system.  Pre-recording  of  les- 
sons will  enable  such  programs  to  "be  viewed 
outside  of  the  range  of  a  specific  TV  system 
without  incurring  microwave  interconnection 
costs.  This  is  made  possible  through  interchange 
of  tapes  from  one  TV  system  with  a  videotape 
recorder  to  another. 

(d)  Pre-recording  of  TV  lessons  reduces  the 
inherent  pressure  of  live  ]3resentations  without 
losing  the  impact  of  live  quality. 

(e)  Pre-recorded  TV  lessons  can  be  potentially 
better  teaching  tools  than  live  presentations 
inasmuch  as  they  allow  a  teacher  to  review  her 
presentation  and  set  the  pace  of  her  lesson  to 
meet  the  requirements  of  her  students.  Those 
portions  of  a  lesson  that  either  drag  or  move 
too  rapidly  can  be  corrected  in  advance  of  play- 
back to  the  student  viewing  audience  so  that 
the  TV  instruction  can  be  as  nearly  perfect  as 
possible. 

II.  Under  different  circumstances,  it  is  more 
advisable  to  record  a  lesson  simultaneously  with 
its  presentation  to  the  student  viewing  audience. 
Such  applications   are   as   follows: 

(a)  A  series  of  lesson  sequences  recorded  on 
the  videotape  recorder  can  be  built  up  for 
loan  to  other  educational  institutions. 

(b)  Many  times  the  scheduled  presentation 
of  a  TV  lesson  will  not  coincide  with  the  most 
desirable  viewing  time  for  all  classrooms  within 
a  particular  TV  system.  Under  these  circum- 
stances, it  is  much  easier  to  record  the  initial 
presentation  and  repeat  the  lesson  at  a  later 
time  through  playback  of  the  recording,  rather 
than  a  repeat  live  performance. 

III.  Recorded  lessons,  whether  they  are  acquired 
through  pre-recording  or  simultaneous  record- 
ing, can  either  be  stored  for  future  use  or  the 
tape  can  be  erased  and  be  used  for  another 
lesson.  In  those  instances  where  lessons  are 
stored  for  future  use,  additional  recorder  appli- 
cations become  feasible.  The  TV  lesson  series 
stored  on  tape  can  be  repeated  the  next  se- 
mester or  the  next  year,  as  the  case  may  be, 
through  playback  of  recorded  tapes,  rather  than 
repeating  the  live  TV  instruction. 

(a)  The  required  up-dating  of  material  in 
stored  TV  lessons  from  one  use  to  another  can 
be  accomplished  very  easily  with  magnetic  tape. 
This  is  done  either  by  erasing  and  re-recording 
those  segments  of  the  total  year's  teaching  that 
are  to  be  up-dated,  or  by  splicing  in  new  tape 
sections  to  replace  that  portion  being  up-dated. 

(b)  The  up-dating  of  subjects  from  one  year 
to  another  will  not  require  as  much  time  as  the 
preparation  and  presentation  of  the  original 
lesson  required.  Teaching  time  of  the  instruc- 
tor making  the  original  presentation  has  there- 
fore been  made  available  for  other  assignments, 
such  as  the  teaching  of  another  level  of  the  same 
subject  or  a  related  subject,  yet  the  impact  on 
students  viewing  the  tape  playback  is  identical 
to  the  original  live  presentation. 

(c)  Area  repositories  can  be  established  for 
TV  lesson  recordings,  enabling  an  evolution  to 
start  by  using  the  best  teachers  in  an  area  to 
teach  a  particular  subject.    Such  recordings  can 


then  be  used  by  schools  in  the  area  according 
to  their  own  schedule  requirements. 

IV.  A  permanent  school  ilocumentary  materials 
library  of  recorded  tapes  can  be  established  for 
inserting  into  live  lesson  presentations  to  en- 
hance the  eductional  value  of  the  program. 

(a)  Significant  jjublic  events  can  be  recorded 
on  the  videotape  recorder  for  retention  in  this 
library.  Visiting  specialists  can  be  recorded.  Rare 
physical,  social,  economic  and  similar  phenom- 
ena and  events  can  also  be  recorded.  Field 
background  information  for  history,  science,  in- 
dustry, etc.,  can  conveniently  be  recorded  for 
this  library  on  tape. 

(b)  Laboratory  experiments  can  be  recorded 
imder  the  best  possible  conditions  and  at  con- 
siderable expense  when  necessary,  by  large  sfion- 
soring  organizations.  Time,  effort  and  money 
involved  will  be  justified  by  the  great  numbers 
of  students  who  will  be  able  to  view  the  experi- 
ment through  many  subsequent  playbacks  of  this 
lesson. 

V.  The  videotape  recorder  also  is  a  valuable 
tool  for  scholastic  training  and  self-improve- 
ment of  TV  teachers.  Applications  in  this  cate- 
gory are: 

(a)  TV  lessons  can  be  recorded  for  post  evalu- 
ation and  study  by  groups  of  TV  teachers  and 
their  classroom  counterparts. 

(b)  TV  lessons  can  be  recorded  in  advance 
and  used  as  a  basis  for  self-correction,  both  for 
the  teacher  and  other  members  of  the  produc- 
tion staff,  through  observing  a  playback  of  their 
lesson  in  the  classroom  and  noting  the  effect 
on  students  and  classroom  teachers. 

(c)  Recorded  lessons  can  be  played  back  for 
analysis  by  the  teacher  and  director  to  eliminate 
those  portions  that  drag  or  require  strengthening 
from  an  educational  point  of  view. 

(d)  Experimental  lessons  can  be  recorded  on 
tape  in  selected  subjects  at  various  grade  levels 
for  exchange  with  other  TV  teaching  projects 
for  purposes  of  evaluating  the  content,  lesson 
structure,  teaching  techniques,  etc. 

(e)  The  videotape  recorder  will  also  serve  as 
a  valuable  rehearsal  tool  to  assist  TV  teachers 
and  the  production  stafl:  to  acquire  confidence 
and  the  best  possible  lesson  presentation. 

VI.  There  are  other  applications  of  the  video- 
tape recorder  aside  from  the  direct  lesson  ap- 
plications outlined  above.  These  include  the 
development  of  a  library  containing  typical 
video  teaching  tapes  in  a  variety  of  subject  areas 
and  grade  levels  for  demonstration  uses  with: 

(a)  Parent  groups. 

(b)  Visiting  educators. 

(c)  Service  clubs. 

(d)  Sessions  at  professional  educational  meet- 
ings. 

(e)  Teacher-trainees  (in-service,  teacher  col- 
leges, new  teachers  in  county). 

(f)  Boards  of  education. 

(g)  Prerecording  of  PTA  ]3rograms. 
(h)  Evening  adult  education  subjects. 

The  foregoing  certainly  does  not  represent  the 
total  list  of  applications  for  videotape  recording 
in  the  field  of  educational  television.  It  is  meant 
only  as  a  stimulus  to  examining  the  possibilities 
of  this  new  electronic  tool  to  determine  its  cor- 
rect role  in  assisting  educationally  or  econom- 
ically  any   particular   teaching   endeavor.

Get  AV  Out  of  the  Cellar! 


J.  OUR  months  ago,  a  disastrous  flood  invaded 
the  Bincaii  of  Visual  Education  of  the  Cleve- 
hmd  Public  Schools.  A  three-hour  rain  ruined 
a|>proximatcly  half  a  million  dollars  worth  of 
audiovisual  equipment  and  supplies,  to  say 
nothing  of  the  damage  done  to  the  building, 
fmniture,    supplies    and   other    installations. 

The  building  housing  the  Bureau,  formerly 
the  School  of  Education  of  Western  Reserve 
University,  was  more  than  adecjuate  to  carry 
on  the  following  operations: 

(1)  On  the  second  floor  was  the  sound  motion 
lji(ture  production  studio  and  complete  photo- 
graphic ]5rocessing,  graphic  arts  and  special 
audiovisual  equipment  maintenance; 

(2)  On  the  first  floor  were  two  screening  rooms, 
conference  rooms  and  general  and  administra- 
tive offices; 

(3)  In  the  basement  major  operations  were 
carried  on.  Here  were  facilities  for  housing  and 
storing  all  equipment  and  materials  used  for 
circulation  in  our  schools:  5,756  motion  picture 
prints;  11,852  filmstrips;  over  300,000  314x4

Doan  Creek,  which  runs  through  the  Univer- 
sity C^ircle  park  system,  was  at  one  time  open. 
While  the  creek  was  still  open,  the  undeveloped 
acres  of  the  highlands  absorbetl  most  of  the 
rain  water.  Even  after  the  creek  went  under- 
ground the  culvert  was  large  enough  to  carry 
away  the  excess  rainfall.  However,  within  the 
last  five  years  the  suburbs  in  the  highlands 
have  ex]5anded  at  a  tremendous  rate.  Insufficient 
sewage  development  was  first  felt  three  sum- 
mers ago  when,  after  a  heavy  rain,  the  culvert 


could  hold  no  more  water  and  the  storm  sewers 
backed  up. 

At  that  time,  the  gymnasium  at  the  Bureau 
held  about  1500  pieces  of  audiovisual  equipment 
recently  serviced  and  ready  for  the  September 
opening  of  schools.  The  five  summer  servicemen 
had  their  job  to  do  over,  but  they  were  able 
to  salvage  all  this  equipment  because  it  was 
not  completely  submerged. 

Preventive  measures  were  taken  by  installing 
sewer  back-up  traps  and  a  sump  pimip.  These 
preventive  installations  were  effective  and  ap- 
parently took  care  of  ordinary  conditions. 

However,  on  June  1  of  this  year  for  a  period 
of  three  hours,  four  inches  of  rain  fell  on  the 
higher  grounds  over  an  area  of  8.6  square  miles. 
Because  the  ground  could  not  absorb  this  lui- 
usually  heavy  rainfall  and  because  of  inade- 
quate sewage  facilities,  the  water  followed  the 
only  course  left— down  the  roads  and  hillsides 
and  into  the  University  Circle  area  at  the  rate 
of  2,860  cu.ft.  per  second. 

The  back-up  sewer  traps  held  the  water  from 
coming  into  the  building,  but  the  water  rose 
above  the  basement  window  sills.  The  pressure 
became  so  great  that  it  burst  the  windows  and 
doors  and  demolished  two  interior  walls. 

During  the  height  of  the  flood,  the  water  in 
the  Bureau  of  Visual  Education  building  meas- 
ured 17  feet.  The  waters  recedetl  during  the 
night  and  the  next  morning  we  were  greeted 
by  a  sea  of  mud  surrounding  the  building. 
Slides,  exhibits  and  filmstrips  were  picked  up 
for   blocks    in    the    surrounding    neighborhood. 

Realizing  that  the  water-soaked  equipment 
was  a  total  loss,  our  immediate  |)roblem  was 
to  salvage  as  much  material  as  possible.  For- 
timately  there  is  a  16mm  film  prixessing  plant 
in  Cleveland.  All  the  motion  pidure  films  were 
rushed  to  Uabcraft  for  cleaning.  With  the  pur- 
chase of  an  oiudoor  swimming  pool  it  was  possi- 
ble to  kee])  the  films  luider  water  luuil  they 
could  be  put  through  the  continuous-proiessing 
machine.  By  keeping  the  films  wet  the  silt  from

the  flood  waters  could  not  dry  and  impregnate 
the  emulsion. 

Temporary  quarters  for  film  inspection  were 
immediately  set  up  at  the  Bureau  of  Visual 
Education,  where  film  inspectors  checked  all 
salvaged  films  and  spooled  them  onto  new  reels 
and  placed  them  in  new  cans.  This  measure 
was  necessary  because  rust  had  already  set  in 
on  the  old  ones.  Salvaging  of  colored  film  con- 
tinued for  eight  days  before  the  emulsion  de- 
teriorated. Black  and  white  film  lasted  for  ten 
days.  A  total  of  3,674  prints  were  caught  in  the 
flood  and  our  loss  was  1,314  prints.  We  salvaged 
a  total  of  1,097,162  feet  of  film  at  a  cost  of 
one  cent  per  foot. 

The  filmstrip  salvage  operation  was  similar. 
Many  hands  were  needed  to  do  the  work  as 
soon  as  possible.  Sixteen  students  were  hired 
from  a  nearby  high  school.  They  worked  four 
hours  every  day  after  school.  Photo-developing 
trays  were  filled  with  water  and  a  wetting  agent. 
The  filmstrips  were  swished  through  the  trays 
and  then  squeegeed  and  hung  up  to  dry.  The 
next  job  was  to  identify  and  label  the  salvaged 
filmstrips  and  put  them  into  new  plastic  con- 
tainers. The  students  handled  10,830  filmstrips, 
and  of  this  number  90  percent  were  recovered. 
However,  2,754  filmstrips  were  never  found 
again  after  the  waters  receded. 

The  loss  of  the  models  and  exhibits,  made 
by  the  W.P.A.,  cannot  be  measured  in  money. 
The  real  value  was  in  the  popularity  of  this 
material  with  elementary  children. 

Nor  can  a  dollar  and  cents  value  be  placed  on 
the  314  X  4  and  2x2  slides.  If  it  were  possible

Swimming    pool    preserved    wet    films    until    they 
could  be  processed. 

to  replace  all  the  lost  slides,  the  raw  materials 
needed  would  cost  more  than  $306,000.  The  re- 
placement cost  of  the  filmstrips  is  about  $19,500. 
The  replacement  cost  of  motion  picture  films 
is  about  $78,000.  The  replacement  cost  of  the 
audiovisual  equipment  is  about  $59,000.  Main- 
tenance parts  and  equipment  have  been  replaced 
at  a  cost  of  about  $15,000. 

Just  before  the  disastrous  flood  struck  we 
were  preparing  for  our  summer  equipment 
maintenance  work.  Repair  parts  for  this  job 
had  already  been  received  and  they  were  com- 
pletely inundated.  Thousands  of  dollars  worth 
of  equipment  parts  were  saved  by  soaking  them 
in  penetrating  oil.  The  audiovisual  equipment 
that  was  caught  in  the  flood  waters  was  a  total 
loss  and  is  now  waiting  to  be  cannibalized  for 
usable  parts.  In  the  meantime,  temporary  quar- 
ters were  set  up  in  order  to  carry  on  maintenance 
work. 

Plans  are  now  being  made  to  house  all  of 
the  Bureau  of  Visual  Education  operations  above 
the  basement  level.  The  Cleveland  Board  of 
Education  does  not  carry  insurance  so  that  the 
replacement  of  all  lost  materials  and  equip- 
ment is  being  made  from  the  Replacement 
Fund. 

We  in  Cleveland  hope  that  other  school  sys- 
tems will  benefit  from  our  sad  experience.  There 
is  no  time  like  the  present  to  take  a  second  look 
at  the  housing  of  your  audiovisual  equipment 
and  teaching  materials.  If  they  are  stored  in  a 
basement,  as  it  seems  in  too  many  cases,  what 
are  the  probabilities  that  they  too  could  be 
caught  by  the  waters  from  a  flash  flood?

Students  Bring 

History 

to  Light 


by  Gilbert  Hagerty 


\jILBERT  Hagerty  started  this  work  because  he  is 
deeply  interested  in  archeology.  By  a  combination  of 
historical  and  geographical  reasoning  he  believed 
that  there  had  to  be  an  overnight  stopping  place  for 
travelers  along  the  natural  waterways  connecting  the 
developing  West  with  the  established  Hudson  Valley. 
Where  else  but  along  the  Great  Oneida  Carry,  where 
water  travel  was  interrupted  for  a  portage?  In  this 
area  Mr.  Hagerty  dug. 

Soon  his  students  joined  him  at  the  digging.  In 
the  recently  completed  state-wide  Essay  Contest  for 
students  and  teachers,  conducted  by  the  New  York 
State  Commission  on  Historic  Observances  in  con- 
nection with  the  350th  anniversary  of  the  explora- 
tions of  Hudson  and  Champlain,  Mr.  Hagerty  sub- 
mitted the  following  summary  of  his  class  activity. 

Because  this  is  exceptional,  inspired  teaching,  the 
editors  of  EDUCATIONAL  SCREEN  .AND  AUDIO- 
VISU.AL  GUIDE  bring  this  story  to  you  as  a  superb 
example  of  the  use  of  the  field  trip  in  instruction— 
a  field  trip  which  resulted  in  discovering  the  site  of 
a  colonial  pioneer's  home. 

By  virtue  of  the  location  of  the  digging  it  can  be 
assumed  that  the  colonial  owner  was  directly  con- 
nected with  water  transportation  in  the  days  of  the 
bateaux— preceding  the  construction  of  the  Erie 
Canal.  By  virtue  of  the  artifacts  already  unearthed— 
clay  pipes,  a  wide  variety  of  pottery,  glassware  and 
the  stems  of  glasses,  as  well  as  pewter,  iron  and  silver- 
ware, it  can  be  assumed  that  this  indeed  was  the  site 
of  an  Inn  of  the  earliest  days  of  the  .-\merican  Repub- 
lic ..  .  probably  the  Inn  at  which  DeWitt  Clinton 
stayed  when  he  first  dreamed  of  a  continuous  water- 
way connecting  east  and  west. 

Mr.  Hagerty  was  a  winner  in  the  contest— and  spent 
two  weeks  in  The  Netherlands  as  a  representative  of 
the  New  York  State  Commission  on  Historic  Observ- 
ances investigating  and  verifying  his  discoveries.  But 
this  is  not  all— the  new  Fort  Stanwix  Museum  in 
Rome,    New   York,    was   opened    on   .August   first   of 


this  year.  It  is  an  immediate  and  direct  outgrowth  of 
-Mr.  Hagerty 's  work— and  he  has  been  named  Director. 
Sic  Semper  audiovisualists! 

—Max  U.  Bildersee 


1^  or  170  years  a  lastiiiating  story  has  been 
hidden  in  our  community  —  hidden  so  well  that 
no  hint  of  its  presence  was  discovered  until  the 
fall  of  1958.  Then  it  was  by  sheer  chance  that 
we,  witli  the  hel])  of  student  groups,  were  able 
to  save  it  from  comjilete  oblivion. 

This  story  was  written  in  hallowed  groiuul 
which  was  literally  being  carried  away  for  fill 
because  the  owner  did  not  know  what  he  was 
destroying,  and  no  one  had  hitherto  recognized 
its  importance.  But  because  of  our  action  this 
destriutiou  has  been  stO]3ped,  and  cooperation 
of  the  owner  has  made  carefid  archaeological  in- 
vestigation possible.  We  now  have  most  of  this 
story,  complicated  as  it  is,  as  it  was  recorded 
in  the  earth  between  the  years  of  1789  and  1805. 

Because  of  its  geographic  location  on  the 
Great  Oneida  Carry,  with  its  associations  of 
colonial  troop  movements,  fur  trade  and  Indians, 
this  site  is  of  tremendous  significance  not  only 
locally,  but  in  the  development  of  the  waterway 
system  from  the  western  frontier  to  the  sea.  It 
was  the  focal  point  for  the  thousands  who 
crossed  from  the  Mohawk  to  Wood  Creek  and 
the  West. 

Because  nothing  in  addition  to  the  standard 
coimty  histories  has  been  recorded  about  this 
area  for  many  years  and  scarcely  any  new  infor- 
mation gained  from  primary  research,  we  in- 
tin'tively  felt  that  this  location  should  reveal 
something  of  importance.  AVe  were  not  wrong. 

Briefly,  our  project  is  an  archaeological  one 
involving    discovery    and    original    research    in

Students  George  Gibson 
and  Lynn  Hagerty  study- 
ing a  piece  of  crockery 
found  in  a  well  and  a 
stratification  shown  indi- 
cating occupation  levels. 


Oneida  County  history.  Preliminary  investiga- 
tions on  a  strategic  plot  of  groimd,  ripped  and 
torn  by  a  bulldozer,  showed  evidences  of  an  18th 
century  pioneer  dwelling.  This  evidence  places 
the  occupation  at  a  time  when  there  were  but 
seven  or  eight  dwellings  of  whites  between 
Whitestown  and  Oswego,  and  most  of  them  were 
primitive  huts.  This  we  have  from  the  report 
of  a  reliable  eyewitness  who  was  through  the 
territory  at  that  time.  This  spot  we  are  inves- 
tigating was  the  site  of  one  of  these  dwellings, 
erected  soon  after  the  Revolution. 

When  the  site  was  first  discovered,  we  gath- 
ered every  bit  of  material  from  the  exposed  sur- 
face. Since  the  ground  was  disturbed  generally 
about  a  foot  down  from  the  surface  and  since 
there  were  three  components  in  this  general 
area,  we  were  faced  with  the  problem  of  classifi- 
cation. We  filled  wax  milk  cartons  with  this 
material  and  labeled  them  "general  surface 
finds."  We  soon  learned  to  distinguish  the  dif- 
ference between  the  type  of  artifact  we  found  on 
one  end  of  the  site  from  those  found  on  the 
other  end  where  there  were  two  other  occupa- 
tions. In  the  fringe  areas  the  materials,  of 
course,  were  mixed.  Fortiuiately  there  were  still 
about  fourteen  inches  of  undistmbed  soil  to  be 
examined  in  many  areas  where  the  bulldozer 
had  just  scuffed  oft  the  surface. 

These  areas  of  undisturbed  soil  were  care- 
fully examined,  stratigraphy  plotted,  photo- 
gra|)hed,  and  the  artifacts  kejjt  separate.  Each 
area  was  coded  and  the  artifacts  labeled  with 
the  code  mark.  This  gave  us  a  core  of  informa- 
tion that  we  felt  was  valid  in  forming  prelimi- 
nary conclusions.  The  stratigraphy  clearly 
showed  that  this  groinid  had  never  been  plowed 
or  in  any  way  disturbed  before  the  bulldozing 
began. 

Among  the  more  interesting  items  found  in 
the  inidisturbed  stratification  were  many  brass 


and  pewter  buttons  of  varying  sizes,  both  plain 
and  with  ornamentation;  quantities  of  koalin 
pipe  bowls  and  stems  with  a  profusion  of  identi- 
fications as  makers'  marks  and  bowl  designs; 
shards  of  household  dishes  with  the  character- 
istic 18th  century  blue  figures  on  cream  back- 
ground, some  of  which  we  were  able  to  recon- 
struct in  part;  several  silver  and  brass  coins 
ranging  from  the  reign  of  George  II  through 
1796,  of  British,  Spanish,  and  American  origin; 
iron  axes,  one  a  British  military  broad  axe; 
ironware  as  crane  hooks,  hinges,  hand  forged 
nails,  ox  shoes,  horse  shoes,  fragments  of  iron 
kettles,  knives,  bone  handled  forks  with  two 
tines;  pewter  spoons;  glassware  with  pontil 
marks;  personal  ornaments;  lead  musket  balls, 
giui  flints;  even  a  brass  bung  from  a  barrel,  an 
exact  duplicate  of  one  found  at  Crown  Point; 
and  parts  of  many  other  items  common  to  a 
pioneer  household. 

Of  a  more  general  nature  we  were  able  to 
determine  the  location  of  the  building,  once  the 
long  concealed  well  was  found.  There  was  no 
foundation  to  the  house,  only  a  dirt  floor.  A 
concentration  of  brick  rubble  and  charred 
boards  gave  us  the  location  of  the  hearth.  As- 
sociated with  charred  boards  were  many  short 
pointed  sticks,  the  remains  of  burned  saplings, 
aligned  in  a  row,  a  foot  under  the  ground  and 
over  the  rotted  and  charred  boards  —  dramatic 
evidence  of  the  conflagration  that  brought  them 
crashing  in  flames  to  the  ground  to  be  covered  by 
smouldering  debris.  Here  we  have  a  suggestion 
of  how  the  dwelling  was  constructed.  Fragments 
of  broken  window  glass  and  hand  forged  nails 
added  to  our  information. 

Animal  bones  scattered  through  the  general 
debris  gave  an  indication  of  the  diet.  Deer  bones 
were  prominent  as  were  bones  and  teeth  of 
other  large  wild  and  domestic  animals.  Salt 
water    clam    and    oyster    shells    were    abundant

and  in  direct  association  with  known  18th  cen- 
tury materials.  One  wonders  how  these  shellfish 
(ould  be  fit  to  eat  after  arriving  here  in  the 
wilderness  after  the  long  trek  from  their  near- 
est point  of  origin,  New  York  City.  One  of  our 
siuclents  found  a  reference  showing  that  the 
Dutch  as  early  as  169()  were  pickling  oysters  in 
Xew  York  and  sending  them  in  casks  to  the 
Barbados  in  a  thriving  trade. 

By  correlating  our  information  through  scien- 
tific methods,  we  were  stimulated  to  do  further 
research  in  documentary  sources,  (iradually 
scraps  of  documentary  evidence  grew  until  we 
had  a  body  of  information  to  check  with  our 
archaeological  findings.  The  documentary  evi- 
dence ancl  the  archaeological  evidence  fitted  be- 
yond the  point  of  coincidence.  The  cold  statisti- 
cal facts  and  the  book  passages  lived. 

The  two  remaining  occupations  suggesting  the 
19th  century  were  identified  by  examining  old 
maps.  The  maps  told  us  that  there  were  two 
inns  at  these  points  — one  prior  to  1850  and 
the  other  prior  to  1876.  One  of  our  group  found 
a  reference  in  a  letter  by  Dewitt  Clinton  stating 
that  he  had  a  fine  dinner  at  an  inn  in  this 
immediate  area  in  1810.  The  description  of  its 
location  fits  our  site.  The  whole  area  has  now 
been  mapped  and  each  component  identified. 

When  enough  samples  of  all  this  material 
had  been  gathered,  some  students  who  had  taken 
part  in  the  various  expeditions  were  given  a 
choice  of  the  areas  they  wished  to  investigate 
further.  For  instance,  one  chose  to  make  a  study 
of  the  coins  which  had  been  found;  another 
sorted  out  all  the  various  samples  of  dish  frag- 
ments to  determine  the  variety  of  dishes,  the 
number  of  kinds  of  dishes,  antl  to  make  a  fre- 
quency distribution  of  the  occurrence  of  design 
types  in  order  to  determine  the  most  common 
type  of  dish  used.  Comparisons  were  then  made 
with  dishes  of  known  dates.  The  crinkle  edge 
type  with  blue  or  green  slip  on  cream  seemed 
to  predominate.  We  foinid  that  this  type  of 
dish  appeared  frequently  on  British  camp  sites 
of  the  Revolutionary  period  in  the  New  York 
City  area;  and  while  not  abundant,  they  also 
appear  at  Crown  Point  on  Lake  Champlain. 
Crown  Point  was  not  occupied  after  the  Revolu- 
tion. Further  study  showed  us  that  a  goodly 
proportion  of  other  dish  types  that  were  found 
also  fall  into  the  Revolutionary  period. 

We  have  first  hand  information  from  two 
other  local  sites  with  Indian  associations  that 
yield  these  same  types  of  wars.  This  information 


will  help  us  to  place  a  time  span  on  these  sites 
in  future  investigations. 

Another  student  chose  to  make  a  study  of  the 
glassware  fragments,  which  appeared  in  a  wide 
variety  and  most  of  which  show  the  pontil-mark 
which  is  characteristic  of  18th  century  hand 
blown  glass.  Another  chose  to  study  the  buttons 
on  the  basis  of  type,  design,  construction,  and 
time  span.  It  is  interesting  to  note  here  that 
we  have  one  cast  pewter  military  button  of  a 
Revolutionary  soldier,  with  U  S  A  on  its  face; 
the  S  intertwines  with  the  U  and  A.  By  and 
large  they  all  fall  into  the  18th  century  period. 

The  iron  work  interested  another  student,  the 
kaolin  pipes,  another.  Comparison  of  the  knives 
and  two-tined  forks  and  the  pewter  ware  with 
known  18th  century  types  that  have  been  found 
in  debris  of  Revolutionary  sites  and  which  are 
to  be  found  in  museums  offered  a  challenge. 
For  our  information  on  the  kaolin  pipes  we  are 
indebted  to  Mr.  H.  G.  Omwake,  an  authority  on 
the  subject.  The  range  of  bowl  ornamentation, 
stem  bore,  and  makers'  marks  are  all  signifi- 
cant in  determining  their  age  span.  Of  31  more 
or  less  complete  bowls  we  have  21  with  a  5/64" 
stem  bore.  The  5/64"  stem  bore  was  popular 
in  English  pipes  from  1750  to  1800.  The  4/64" 
bore  was  popular  from  1800  on.  We  have  10 
of  these  bowls.  Again  this  strong  statistical  evi- 
dence points  to  tire  18th  century.  One  curious 
bowl  has  many  Masonic  emblem's  on  it. 

A  student  who  was  involved  in  nearly  every 
group  field  trip  and  who  had  taken  many  of 
her  own,  set  out  to  make  some  interpretations 
of  her  own.  They  were  checked  against  the 
documentary  evidence. 

Not  only  have  the  scientific  aspects  of  this 
]5roject  been  intriguing,  but  the  creative  aspect 
of  the  work  is  shown  by  a  short  story  by  one 
of  our  group,  based  on  the  suggestions  stimu- 
lated by  our  finds. 

The  archaeological  evidence  tells  only  part 
of  the  story.  Many  blank  spots  are  filled  in  with 
documentary  facts,  but  we  examined  details 
closely  and  consulted  many  sources.  Our  first 
clue  came  from  a  reference  that  stated  very 
briefly  that  a  Mr.  X  came  to  this  area  in  1789 
and  was  one  of  the  very  first  after  the  Revolution 
to  take  up  residence  at  a  point  we  can  easily 
recognize  today  by  the  topographical  features 
given.  They  match  our  site.  This  same  Mr.  X 
was  listed  as  the  head  of  a  family  in  1790  in 
this  area  when  the  first  IJ.  S.  census  was  taken.

vailable  for  only  one  year,  the  Chemistry 
ourse  on  Film  with  John  F.  Baxter,  has 
Iready  met  with  enthusiastic  teacher  re- 
>onse  in  classrooms  throughout  the  United 
ates.  Teachers  say  that  it  is  more  than  meet- 
ig  the  expectations  of  Or.  John  C.  Bailor,  Jr., 


President,  The  American  Chemical  Society: 
"...it  is  our  hope  that  this  course  on  film  will 
make  it  possible  for  the  high  school  instructor 
to  offer  a  kind  of  instruction  in  chemistry 
which  can  dramatically  improve  the  teach- 
ing   of   this    increasingly    important    subject!' 


THE  GREATER  GAIN!" 

Major  Evaluation  Studies  Show  Tangible 
Benefits  of  Complete  Courses  on  Film... 


:£! 


V 


The  objective  findings  of  the  major  studies  are  proving  the  merits 
of  the  Complete  Courses  on  Film.  In  approaching  the  studies,  it  is 
important  to  keep  these  basic  facts  (researched  by  National  Acad- 
emy of  Sciences)  in  mind:  50  per  cent  of  what  we  know  in  chemistry 
has  been  discovered  or  developed  in  the  past  30  years.  And  ...  90 
per  cent  of  what  we  know  in  physical  science  has  been  learned  since 
1940.  How  much  modern  physics  and  chemistry  teaching  essential 
to  Space- Age  Education  is  reaching  the  classroom?  The  bearing  of 
this  information  is  further  amplified  by  a  committee  member  for  the 
Fund  for  the  Advancement  of  Education,  in  writing  about  the  results 
of  the  Chicago  Study  in  Physics:  "While  these  standard  achieve- 
ment tests  (used  in  determining  results)  are  based  on  typical  high 
school  courses  in  physics,  the  content  taught  in  the  film  course  is 
considerably  greater,  the  inference  being  that  students  taught  with 
film  learn  more  physics  though  this  is  not  always  reflected  in  stand- 
ard achievement  tests." 

The  full-year  courses  on  film  are,  therefore,  answering  the  vital 
need  for  concentrated  learning  of  greater  amounts  of  scientific 
information  ...  in  a  shorter  time  ...  by  more  students. 

The  Major  Studies  and  Projects: 
Pilot  Study— Science  Research  Associates- 
Introductory  Physics  on  Film 

Evaluation  study— July,  1958— in  49  high  schools— 1,161  students.  Films  were 
projected  in  the  classroom. 

"The  results  of  the  overall  analysis  showed  a  statistically  significant  difference 
between  the  gain-scores  of  those  taught  by  the  film  method  and  those  taught  by 
the  traditional  method.  Those  taught  by  the  film  method  had  the  greater  gain." 

The  Chicago  Study— Introductory  Physics  on  Film 

Group  tested:  117  Chicago  Public  High  School  students  completing  two  full  se- 
mesters of  Physics  on  film.  Films  were  shown  via  TV.  Test  instrument:  Dunning 
Physics  Test  (Form  BM).  National  percentile  norms  established  by  tests  in  19  states 
77  high  schools,  2,181  students. 

Average  scale  score:  Chicago  group,  124.  National  percentile  rank:  78. 
Comment  by  Chicago  Committee:  "The  average  IQ  of  our  group  was  116,  while 
that  of  the  whole  group  participating  (national  norm  group)  was  114.  Hardly  a 
sufficient  difference  to  explain  the  very  gratifying  achievement  of  our  group  of 
117  students  ..." 

American  Institute  of  Physics — 

A  Study  of  the  Teaching  of  Physics  by  Film  and  Television 

Evaluation  program  carried  out  during  1957-58.  Conclusions  are  based  upon  personal 
observation  by  advisory  committee  members,  by  interview,  by  teacher-administered 
standardized  achievement  tests,  and  by  teacher  and  student  questionnaires. 
While  no  statistically  significant  difference  has  been  found  .  .  .  in  the  acquisi- 
tion of  facts  of  physics,  there  is  a  statistically  significant  difference  in  the  ability 
to  apply  scientific  principles  to  new  situations  in  favor  of  the  film  group. 

The  Wisconsin  Physics  Film  Evaluation  Project 

Conducted  at  University  of  Wisconsin,  1957-58,  under  grant  from  the  Fund  for  the 
Advancement  of  Education.  Participating:  Sixty  non-metropolitan  high  schools  in 
Wisconsin — 1,332  students.  The  Films  were  projected  in  the  classroom. 
Film-taught  students  were  compared  with  control  students  on  special  tests  con- 
taining the  additional  material  found  in  the  films.  Results:  significantly  in 
favor  of  film-taught  groups. 

Fund  for  the  Advancement  of  Education- 
Rocky  Mountain  Project— Aspen,  Colorado 

June,  1959 — Although  directed  toward  exploring  the  benefits  to  small  schools  with 
special  regard  to  adequate  curriculum  coverage,  the  project  findings  are  applicable 
in  principle  to  schools  and  systems  of  any  size. 

Report  from  Colorado  Teacher-of-the-Year:  At  close  of  year,  achievement 
testing  (in  Chemistry)  revealed  that  classes  using  films  placed  eleven  percentile 
points  higher  than  classes  taught  the  previous  year  without  the  films  .  .  .  further, 
that  the  classes  of  the  previous  year  had  a  higher  average  IQ.

Criteria  For 


AV  Equipment 


The  second  and  concluding  article  by  Mr.  Fayen,  in- 
tended to  provide  those  in  charge  of  buying  school 
audiovisual  equipment  with  a  detailed^  down-to-earth  set 
of  selection  standards.  (See  page  476  of  the  Septem- 
ber issue) 


16MM   PROJECTORS 

a.  Are  the  arms  sufficiently  long 
to  accommodate  a    1600-foot  reel? 

b.  Does  it  have  a  reverse  switch? 

c.  Does  it  have  a  sound-silent 
switch  so  both  silent  and  sound 
films,  which  run  at  different  speeds, 
can  be  used? 

d.  Have  you  decided  whether 
special  features  are  needed  or  de- 
sirable, such  as  variable  speed  or 
permanent  lubrication? 

e.  Does  it  have  a  clutch?  (A 
:lutch  on  an  ordinary  projector  is 
not  needed  in  most  cases.  It  will 
^ive  a  dull  picture  if  completely 
stopped  on  a  single  frame  and  will 
burn  the  film  if  only  slowed  down 
because  the  fire  wall  has  not  been 
.■ntirely  lowered.  If  stopping  or 
slow  motion  is  needed,  for  football 
)r  baseball  training  films  for  in- 
stance, there  are  special  purpose 
projectors  which  fit  the  bill  per- 
lectly  and  whose  prices  are  fairly 
reasonable.  Anyway,  you  can  re- 
ijuest  the  factory  to  remove  the 
:lutch  control.) 

f.  Does  the  intensity  of  illumina- 
:ion,  as  determined  by  a  light  meter 
eading,  show  it  meets  the  mini- 
nnm  recommended?  (If  the  pro- 
lector  has  a  2"  focal  length  lens 
A'hich    is    focused   on   a   45   x   60" 


hy  Philip  Fayen 

beaded  screen  27  feet  away,  then 
there  should  be  a  screen  brightness 
of  10  foot-lamberts,  or  reflected 
light.  This  is  measured  by  holding 
the  light  meter  close  to  the  screen 
to  catch  only  reflected  light— not  in 
the  projector's  path—  in  a  darkened 
auditorium  having  one-tenth  foot 
candle  reading  before  testing  pro- 
jector, as  recommended  by  the  So- 
ciety of  Motion  Picture  and  Tele- 
vision Engineers.) 

g.  If  you  have  no  light  meter, 
does  the  projector  have  a  rating 
of  750-1000  watts?  (If  the  screen 
brightness  is  insufficient,  the  tonal 
quality  of  the  picture  is  reduced; 
if  the  picture  is  too  bright,  it  causes 
optical  fatigue  and  a  seemingly 
washed-out  picture.) 

SLIDE  AND  FILMSTRIP 
PROJECTORS 

a.  Are  the  two  fiuictions  of  the 
jjrojector  easily  interchangeable, 
with  no  tools  needed? 

b.  When  set  up  as  a  slide  pro- 
jector, will  it  accept  an  automatic 
slide  changer? 

c.  When  testing  filmstrip  func- 
tion, does  there  appear  to  be  any 
damage,  such  as  film  streaks, 
scratches,  or  torn  perforations,  after 
having     turned     a     full     filmstrip 


through? 

d.  Are  there  10  foot-lamberts 
registered  on  the  light  meter  using 
a  3"  focal  lengtli  lens  focused  on  a 
60"  X  45"  beaded  screen  which  is 
17  feet  away? 

e.  If  you  have  no  light  meter, 
does  the  projector  have  a  power  rat- 
ing of  350-500  watts? 

OPAQUE  PROJECTORS 

a.  Will  it  accommodate  material 
up  to  10"  square? 

b.  Does  the  temperature  of  the 
projected  material  desirably  cease 
to  rise  in  from  two  to  five  minutes? 
(Tape  a  mercury  thermometer  to 

heavy  black  paper  the  size  of  the 
projected  area  and  have  its  mer- 
cury reading  upward  so  it  can  be 
read  on  the  screen.  Another  and 
less  severe  test  is  to  use  gray  paper 
using  the  thermometer  for  the  same 
reason;  gray  paper  will  absorb  less 
heat  than  black  paper  so  the  read- 
ing should  be  lower  and  less  harsh.) 

c.  Is  the  fan  of  the  down-draft 
type  and  not  updraft  so  that  light 
pieces  of  material  will  not  be  blown 
away? 

d.  Does  the  projector  have  a 
power  rating  of  approximately  1000 
watts?

e.  Is  there  a  control,  easily  ac- 
cessible, for  an  arrow  indicator 
which  should  project  on  to  the 
screen? 


OVERHEAD   PROJECTORS 

a.  Docs  it  have  a  power  ratinj^ 
ot  500-1000  watts? 

b.  Is  there  a  small  head  on  the 
projector  so  as  not  to  block  the 
view? 

c.  Is  a  minimum  of  keystoning 
present? 

RECORD  PLAYERS 

a.  Does  the  machine  for  class- 
room use  have  speeds  of  78  and 
45  r.p.m.  (not  as  satisfactory  as 
other  speeds),  16-2/3  r.p.m.  (for 
small  records  containing  children's 
stories),  and  33-1/3  r.p.m.? 

b.  Is  it  equipped  with  at  least 
the  ceramic  type  of  cartridge,  the 
costly  but  preferable  variable  re- 
luctance type,  or  is  it  the  crystal 
cartridge  which  is  especially  bad  in 
regions  of  high  humidity?  (The 
variable  reluctance  costs  about 
three  times  that  of  the  ceramic 
but  gives  more  than  that  in  length 
of  life  and  quality  of  performance.) 

c.  Does  the  tone  arm  (or  needle 
arm)  weight  not  exceed  6-8  grams 
for  best  reproduction  and  to  avoid 
record  wear? 

d.  If  it  is  desired  that  the  rec- 
ord player  be  equipped  with  a 
record  changer,  does  the  changer 
preferably  feed  by  gripping  the 
side  or  edges  of  the  record?  (Avoid 
those  types  which  have  the  steady- 
ing arm  overhead  and  the  catch 
grabbing  part  of  the  center  hole 
with  the  entire  weight  of  the  rec- 
ords on  top.  These  catches  will 
wear  out  and  in  short  order  wear 
away  the  record  hole.) 

e.  Is  the  motor  a  "four-pole" 
motor  for  much  smoother  opera- 
tion, or  is  it  the  less  expensive  but 
not  as  smooth  "two-pole"  type? 

f.  Do  you  find  the  speaker  in 
a  separate  enclosure  for  best  repro- 
duction and  can  the  speaker  be  shut 
off  and  earphones  be  plugged  in 
for  individual  listening  and  so  as 
not  to  disturb  others? 

g.  Does  the  amplifier  have  a  10 
to  15  watt  power  rating?  (This  will 
give  fine  performance  at  moderate 
cost.) 

TAPE   RECORDERS 

a.  .Are  there  at  least  the  two 
speed  operations  of  3%"  (for  mak- 
ing longer  classroom  recordings) 
and  7'/^"  per  second?    (The  latter 


speed  is  also  for  playing  commer- 
cially recorded  tapes  in  addition 
to  classroom  recording.) 

b.  Will  the  recorder  accommo- 
date 7"  reels? 

c.  Does  it  have  a  tape  footage 
counting  device? 

d.  Will  it  transcribe  from  an- 
other recorder  or  record  player  with 
good  fidelity? 

e.  Does  the  amplifier  have  a 
power  rating  of  10  watts,  or  at 
least  7  watts  as  absolute  minimum 
for  good   performance? 

f.  With  no  tape  inserted,  does 
the  amplifier  have  not  more  than 
2  decibels  of  sound  distortion  when 
volume  is  turned  up  half-way? 

g.  Is  this  a  four-track  tape  re- 
corder, or  is  it  two-track.  (The 
latter  costs  less  but  allows  only 
half  as  much  recording.) 

h.  Do  you  have  negligible 
"wows"  and  "flutters"?  (These  are 
variations  in  the  regular  speed  of 
the  tape  and  in  the  smoothness  of 
the  reproduced  sound  which  can 
be  readily  heard  with  the  ear  if 
they  are  great.  They  are  more  com- 
mon with  the  "two-pole"  than  with 
"four-pole"  motors.) 

i.  Are  you  aware  that  carbon 
microphones  are  imsatisfactory  for 
qualitv  reproduction? 

j.  Is  the  microphone  of  the  dy- 
namic type  if  the  climate  is  humid, 
or  are  vou  able  to  protect  a  crystal 
microphone  from  dampness  when 
it  is  not  in  use? 

k.  Is  the  microphone's  reception 
characteristic  of  the  desired  type? 
(Unidirectional,  one  direction  for 
interviews,  selected  speaking;  Bi- 
directional, two  directions  for  lim- 
ited conversations:  Non-directional 
for  all  directions.) 

CRITERIA  FOR  PROJECTION 
STANDS  AND  CARTS 

1.  Is  the  stand  27"  high  and  has  it 
a  top  surface  of  at  least  18"  x  24" 
and  light  in  weight  for  portability? 

2.  .4re  the  uprights  or  legs 
straight  and  flush  with  the  top  or 
are  they  bent  outwardly?  (The  lat- 
ter style  is  supposedly  shaped  for 
greater  stability,  but  creates  a  trip- 
ping obstacle  which  cancels  out  the 
stabilitv  advantage.) 

3.  Does  it  have  four  casters  with 
two  having  locking  brakes,  or  does 
it  have  onlv  two  wheels  and  two 
legs  which  necessitates  lifting  the 
cart  whenever  moving  it  is  desired? 

1.  .\re  the  casters  equipped  with 
rubber,  or  plastic,  wheels  of  3"  or 
larger  diameter,  or  are  they  metal 
and  small?  (Rubber  and  plastic 
will   roll   quietly  in  contrast   to  a 


metal  wheel  which  creates  artificial 
thunder,  and  a  generous-size  wheel 
will  pass  over  thresholds  and  small 
obstacles  more  easily? 

5.  Does  it  have  a  metal  shelf 
which  is  about  mid-way  down  for 
storing   or   holding   needed   items? 

6.  Does  the  stand  or  cart  have 
provision  or  facility  for  carrying 
a  projection  screen? 

7.  Is  there  a  cart  for  each  pro- 
jector? 

OUTLINE  OF  SCREEN  TYPES 
.\ND  CRITERIA  FOR 
SELECTION 

There  are  two  practical  manu- 
factured types:  the  wall-mounted 
models  and  the  tripod-mounted 
projection  screens,  the  latter  being 
more  commonly  used.  Also,  there 
are  four  basic  types  of  screen  sur- 
faces: 1)  glass  beaded,  2)  matte, 
3)  metallic  or  aluminized,  and  4) 
lenticular. 

Glass  beaded  screens  appear  to 
have  great  brightness  or  reflection 
qualities  within  a  narrow  viewing 
angle,  but  the  beaded  surface  in- 
troduces some  roughness  or  graini- 
ness,  and  the  brightness  decreases 
rapidly  as  the  viewer  leaves  the 
center  line  of  projection. 

Matte  screens  appear  to  have 
overall  low  brightness,  but  have 
uniform  reflection  over  their  entire 
surface  and  brightness  does  not  de- 
pend upon  the  viewing  angle. 
(Brightness  may  be  increased  with 
a  brighter  projector.) 

Metallic  or  aluminized  screens 
provide  greater  brightness  than  the 
first  two  if  the  viewer  is  sitting  on 
or  very  close  to  the  line  of  projec- 
tion. The  brightness  falls  off  quick- 
ly when  leaving  this  line  and  mov- 
ing to  the  side  and  the  picture 
has  a  slight  graininess.  It  is  espe- 
cially suitable  for  use  with  stereo 
slide  projectors  and  for  color. 
(Neither  the  beaded  nor  matte 
screens  are  suitable  for  stereo  pro- 
jection.) 

Lenticular  type  surface  is  the 
latest  innovation  on  the  market 
and  a])pears  to  live  up  to  claiming 
all  the  advantages  and  none  of  the 
disadvantages  of  the  others.  This 
screen  has  fine  horizontal  ribs  to 
diffuse  the  light  to  a  100  degree 
viewing  angle  and  to  intensify  the 
reffcction.  One  manufacturer  now 
has  on  market  a  screen  with  vertical 
as  well  as  horizontal  ribs  which 
fiuther  increase  reflection,  even  at 
greater  vertical  angles  of  projection 
(i.e.,  Radiant  Optiglow).  This  type 
would  appear  to  have  the  greatest 
potential.

(  RITERIA  FOR  SCREENS 

1.  li  it  will  be  used  for  showing 
motion  pictures,  are  you  looking 
at  4  X  5"  and  5x7"  sizes  which 
ire  the  minimum  areas  you  should 
consider? 

2.  11  it  will  be  used  lor  opaque, 
filnistrip  and  slide  projectors,  are 
you  considering  scjuare  screens  with 
40  X  40"  as  the  minimum  size? 

3.  Docs  the  screen  suit  the  shape 
of  the  average  room  in  which  it 
will  be  used?  (Long,  narrow  rooms 
usually  need  the  beaded  type; 
ihort,  wide  rooms  can  use  the  matte 
type  to  advantage;  long  rooms 
where  color  will  be  used  or  stereo 
ise  will  be  common  shoidd  try  to 
jurchase  an  aluminized  screen; 
iocjn  for  all  room  shapes,  the  len- 
licular  type  will  probably  be  used.) 

4.  Can  the  screen  surface  be 
leaned  and  is  it  mildew  resistant? 

■purchasing   CRITERIA 

1.  Have  you  "shopped  around" 
fjr  the  most  reasonable  price  in 
his  particidar  model?  (Vendors 
vill  usually  be  more  patronizing 
f  you  let  them  know  that  you  are 
(X)king   for   the   "best"    price.) 

2.  Is  the  vendor  ^^•illing  to  de- 
iver  the  equipment  and  test  its 
ull  performance  and  operations 
vith  all  of  the  foregoing  criteria  in 
nind  with  you  present  to  see  liim 
lo  it? 

3.  Has  he  checked  to  make  sure 
hat  all  accessories,  such  as  spare 
)rojcctor  and  pilot  lamps,  spare 
eels,  line  cords,  lens  lint  brush, 
tc,  are  present  and  in  fiuictioning 
irder? 

4.  Has  the  vendor  signed  a  guar- 
ntee  which  piovidcs  at  least  for  a 
10  day  period  tluring  wliich  servic- 
ng  will  be  free  for  at  least  those 
lefects  which  were  not  present  at 
ime  of  delivery  testing? 

.5.  Is  the  vendor  willing  to  sign 
written  agreement  that  there  will 
;  no  charge  for  furnishing  loan 
■quipnient  while  school  ecpiipment 
mdergoes  repairs,  if  the  equipment 
evelops  malfunctions  within  the 
uarantee  period  and  the  repairs 
leeded  fall  under  the  printed  terms 
f  the  guarantee? 

Without  enumerating  them,  it 
,'ould  be  a  truly  great  and  wonder- 
ul  thing  if  the  best  features  of 
ach  type  of  equipment  were  to  be 
ombined  into  one  or  more  makes, 
"he  increasing  competition  of  edu-

one  considers  their  costs. 

As  it  is,  certain  undesirable  fea- 
tures in  certain  equipment  or  spe- 
cial features  for  special  uses  found 
only  in  certain  apparatus  must  of-

AUDIO 


by  Max  U.  Bilderaee 


We've  been  asked  a  great  many 
questions  about  audio  materials  this 
summer  —  but  the  most  frequent  in- 
quiry has  been  "Where  can  I  buy  this 
record?"  And  the  "this"  record  can 
be  any  particular  recording  because 
at  AUDIO  FAIRS  in  Illinois  and  In- 
diana we  had  the  pleasure  of  giving 
a  great  many  interested  listeners  a 
chance  to  hear  a  variety  of  recordings. 

The  answer  is  not  simple.  To  begin 
with,  certain  records,  particularly  those 
published  by  book  publishers  and  de- 
signed to  accompany  particular  texts, 
usually  are  available  only  through 
those  companies,  or  their  recording 
affiliates.  Thus  for  records  published 
by  D.  C.  Heath,  Ginn  and  Company, 
Appleton  -  Century  -  Crofts,  Harcourt 
Brace  and  the  Oxford  Press,  look  to 
their  salesman  for  their  recordings. 

Sales  representatives  from  the  Amer- 
ican Book  Company  carry  exclusively 
and  sell  discs  produced  under  the 
AUDIO  EDUCATION  label. 


Then  there  are  the  specialty  records 
which  are  available  only  from  the  pub- 
lisher. These  include  Encyclopaedia 
Britannica,  McGraw  -  Hill  (Popular 
Science  label),  Lexington,  Columbia 
University,  Newberry  Award  and  Mu- 
sic Education  Record  Corporation. 
These  must  be  secured  from  the  pub- 
lisher or,  in  the  case  of  some  you  rec- 
ognize, from  their  staff  representatives. 

Finally,  the  largest  producers  (the 
most  important  sources  for  such  ma- 
terials including  Columbia,  Decca, 
Folkway.s,  RCA  Victor  and  a  host  of 
others)  present  the  simplest  solution, 
for  their  product  is  available  through 
local  record  dealers.  For  particular 
titles  you  may  have  to  wait  on  a  "spe- 
cial order"  from  the  publisher  but  the 
records  should  be  available  to  you 
through  local  sources. 

Price?  The  record  market  is  flexible. 
We  cannot  suggest  that  you  "haggle" 
over  price,  but  schools,  libraries  and 
other     such     institutional     purchasers 


Norman  Singer,  Dean  of  the  Aspen  School  of  Music  and  Director  of  the  Aspen 
Music  Festival  in  Colorado,  uses  his  Norelco  'Continental'  to  play  a  tape  by  a 
young  pianist  who  has  applied  for  admission  to  the  celebrated  summer  school. 
"The  Norelco  'Continental'  is  our  choice  because  the  prime  requisites  for  a  tape 
recorder  at  Aspen  are  ruggedness,  versatility  and  high  fidelity,"  states  Mr.  Singer. 
"A  first-rate  tape  recorder  like  the  'Continental'  is  an  essential  item  for  an  active 
music  school.  By  studying  the  tapes,  students  learn  to  criticize  constructively  their 
own  compositions  as  well  as  their  own  instrumental  and  vocal  performances." 
The  Norelco  'Continental'  is  a  product  of  North  American  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High 
Fidelity  Products  Division,  Dept.  ISIU,  230  Duffy  Ave.,  Hicksville,  L.  I.,  New  York. 


should  be  able  to  secure  a  sizable  dis- 
count from  local  dealers.  Then,  too, 
by  suljmitting  a  tax  exemption  voucher 
to  any  source,  schools  should  be  able 
to  secure  a  still  lower  price. 

Finally  — if  the  record  you  seek 
seems  irrevocably  lost  or  impossible  to 
obtain  through  any  channels  —  let  us 
know  and  we  will  try  to  help  you. 
We  cannot  always  promise  success  — 
but  we  will  try.  Not  too  many  weeks 
ago  a  college  in  Chicago  sought  infor- 
mation about  recordings  which  were 
published  in  1939  and  which  were 
last  listed  in  a  catalog  about  three 
years  ago.  We  don't  know  that  we 
found  the  particular  discs  sought,  but 
we  could  recommend  another  title 
(and  to  our  mind,  superior)  of  very 
similar  material.  We  may  be  able  to 
do  this  much  for  you,  too,  and  we 
.shall  be  happy  to  try. 

Audio  Fairs 

With  the  coming  of  October  and  fair 
time  in  many  parts  of  the  country,  it 
is  appropriate  to  describe,  at  least  in 
part,  an  "any  time  of  the  year"  fair 
which  you  can  undertake  and  sponsor 
yourself.  And  the  AUDIO  FAIR  can 
add  to  the  prestige  of  your  audio- 
visual program,  contribute  markedly 
to  your  in-service  training  activities 
and  serve  as  both  springboard  and  an- 
nouncement for  expanded  availability 
and  use  of  audio  materials. 

All  you  need  is  some  imagination 
to  promote  the  fair— and  a  consider- 
able stack  of  a  variety  of  recordings. 

We  experimented  with  this  device 
in  a  number  of  nearby  school  com- 
munities and  teacher-training  institu- 
tions before  we  reached  the  conclusion 
that  the  .AUDIO  FAIR  required  the 
participation  —  and  the  listening  activ- 
ity —  of  the  individuals  attending  the 
showing. 

The  past  summer  at  several  mid- 
western  teacher  training  institutions 
we  tried  it  this  way  with  some  success 
we  think.  To  begin  with,  we  secured 
a  great  variety  of  printed  materials 
.  .  .  leaflets,  flyers,  catalogs,  still  pic- 
tures, indexes  and  so  forth  which  we 
could  give  away.  These  were  shipped 
to  the  point  of  the  showing  and  placed 
on  tables  for  anyone  to  pick  up. 

Then  from  our  own  collection  ol 
recordings  we  shipped  a  great  variety 
of  materials,  representative  of  the  work 
of  a  variety  of  producers.  These  too 
went  to  the  point  of  the  demonstra- 
tion —  and  these  too  were  placed  on 
the  table  where  they  could  be  seen, 
handled  and  studied. 

The  selection  of  recordings  sent  wa» 
as  broad  as  we  could  make  it;  broad 
in  grade  range,  for  it  included  records* 
for   pre-school    children    and   reading*

lum including  music  appreciation,  the

nally, the  collection  was  broad  in

fine  recordings  available,  and  a  few 
somewhat  less  valuable  from  an  in- 
structional standpoint. 

Finally,  a  catalog  of  the  collection 
was  available  for  study  by  those  who 
attended   the  Fair. 

The  AUDIO  FAIR  started  formally, 
with  a  short  presentation  describing 
the  materials  at  hand,  discussing  the 
importance  of  teaching  students  to 
listen  intelligently —  stressing  the  con- 
stant application  of  audio  comprehen- 
sion in  everyman's  everyday  training 
and  living.  Next  there  was  a  short  de- 
scription of  the  multitude  of  materials 
available  to  the  audience  to  see,  hear 
and  appraise.  And  finally,  the  members 
of  the  audience  were  invited  to  try 
them  out  for  themselves. 

In  each  case,  the  host  institution 
provided  a  variety  of  sound  repro- 
ducers for  the  use  that  the  groups 
might  give  them.  We  did  not  try  to 
guide  the  listening  to  any  particular 
group  of  records  or  producers,  but 
rather  urged  that  our  guests  browse. 

It  was  simple  for  many  to  study  the 
catalog,  select  a  recording  which 
seemed  to  fit  a  particular  need  or  inter- 
est, find  it  on  the  tables  of  recordings 
and  then  sit  and  listen  to  all  or  a 
portion  of  the  record. 

We  estimate  that,  in  a  few  days  of 
intensive  showing  of  recordings,  we  saw 
and  spoke  with  approximately  a  thou- 
sand people,  and  to  many  we  intro- 
duced a  new  line  of  thought  concern- 
ing specific  types  of  materials  and 
their  applications  to  instruction  and 
learning. 

You  can  do  the  same  thing  for  your 
llteachers  and  for  students  in  the  teacher 
training  instructions  you  serve.  We 
will  be  happy  to  help  you  organize  a 
local  AUDIO  FAIR  for  your  own 
people  by  mail,  and  help  you  too  to 
secure  printed  materials.  What  you 
must  supply  are  the  imagination,  the 
promotion  and  the  variety  of  materials 
for  your  participants  to  see,  to  handle 
and  to  hear.

"Adventures  in  English  Literature." 
The  books  and  the  records  are  pub- 
lished by  Harcourt,  Brace  and  Com- 
pany (750  Third  Avenue,  New  York) 
and  are  meant  to  be  used  on  a  parallel 
basis  to  excite  both  the  visual  and  the 
auditory  senses.  A  list  of  the  titles  in 
the  six  recordings  would  be  too  space 
consuming,  so  suffice  it  to  say  that  the 
range  of  literary  presentation  covers 
all    forms  —  poetry,    drama,    essay    and 


short  story.  Similarly,  a  complete  list 
of  authors  would  read  as  a  "Who's 
Who"  in  literature  but  the  range  is 
from  Chaucer  to  Churchill,  from 
Shakespeare  to  Shaw  and  from  the 
simplest  presentation  to  the  most  com- 
plex. 

The  artists  who  perform  are  worthy, 
too,  of  mention.  Actors  and  authors 
combine  to  give  breadth,  depth  and 
life  to  the  lines  that  are  read.  The  en-

The  data  presented  is  fundamental, 
and  should  be  found  in  any  modern 
secondary  school  chemistry  textbook. 
Because,  as  already  stated,  the  record- 
ing is  meaningless  to  the  student  with 
no  previous  knowledge,  the  utilization 
is  limited  to  refresher  purposes. 


Some  junior  high  school  students 
will  jirofit  from  "THE  PATRIOT 
PLAN"  (Folkways  Records  FH  5710; 
117  West  46th  Street,  New  York  .H6) 
l)ut  senior  high  school  students  will 
find  this  a  good  background  and  doc- 
umentary source  for  classes  in  Ameri- 
can History.  This  recording,  in  addi- 
tion to  being  used  in  direct  classroom 
instruction,  will  be  a  worthy  addition 
to  a  variety  of  libraries  for  both  re- 
served  listening  and  loan   purposes. 

"The  Patriot  Plan"  involves  the 
documents  of  the  strugle  for  democ- 
racy in  the  western  hemisphere.  In- 
cluded in  the  recordings  and  the  ac- 
companying seventy-two  page  book  are 
"The  Mayflower  Compact,"  excerpts 
from  ".\  Body  of  Liberties,"  "Roger 
Williams'  Letter  to  the  People  of 
Providence"  "Maryland  Toleration 
.\ct  (excerpts),"  "James  Otis  on  The

Samuel  Adams,  John  Winthrop,  John

such  milestones  as  the  Zenger  Trial,

and  such  issues  as  slavery,  freedom  of

once  a  reference  source,  a  document 
information  source  and  a  useful  in- 
structional material.  Junior  and  senior 
high  school  students  are  probably  the 
youngest  who  can  profit  greatly  from 
hearing  these  recordings,  but  surely 
teachers  and  college  students  can  use 
the  material  in  a  variety  of  ways. 

• 

Have  you  heard  "PERRI,"  which  is 

one  of  the  better  Disneyland  (2400  W. 
Alameda  .Avenue.  Burbaiik,  California) 
productions  insofar  as  school  applita- 
tions  are  concerned?  Second  and  third 
grade  youngsters  can  enjoy  this  simple, 
yet  effective  story  of  the  adventures 
and  misadventures  of  two  squirrels, 
Perri  and  Porro.  They  are  beset  by  a 
variety  of  difficulties,  including  attacks 
from  their  natural  enemies  in  the 
woodlands,  the  cold  of  winter  and  the 
frightening  dangers  of  a  forest  fire. 
Jimmie  Dodd  narrates  this  deliglnful 
recording  which,  besides  being  used 
obviously  for  pleasure  listening,  can 
contribute  to  some  aspects  of  the 
nature  studv  program. 

• 

Mature    students    can    profit    from 

hearing  the  reading  of  five  short 
stories  by  W.  Somerset  Maugham  (Li- 
braphone;  P  O  Box  215,  Long  Branch, 
New  Jersey).  The  stories  included  are 
"Red, Fhe  .Ant  and  the  Grasshop- 
per," "Footprints  in  the  Jungle,"  "The 
I.etter,"  and  "Episode."  These  exam- 
ples of  the  story-telling  art  of  one  of 
the  leading  short  story  writers  of  this 
generation  can  be  used  effectively  for 
a  variety  of  purposes  in  upper  high 
school  and  college  classes  in  literature, 
the  short  story  and  writing. 

Similarly  interesting,  and  designed 
to  appeal  to  a  similar  group  of  stu- 
dents, is  Columbia  ML  4754  titled 
"JOHN  COLLIER"  in  which  the 
noted  author  reads  his  own  ".Mary," 
"De  Mortuis,"  and  "Back  for  Christ- 
mas." .Although  this  is  fundamentally 
a  library  recording  it  may  be  used 
effectively  in  high  school  and  college 
English  classes  to  demonstrate  writing 
techniques,  diction  and  the  art  of 
reader  (and  listener)  involvement. 
This  recording  from  The  Columbia 
Literary  Series  indicates  that  the 
author  can  give  both  life  and  mean- 
ing to  the  reading  aloud  of  his  own 
works,  and  thereby  lend  a  personal 
touch  to  tlie  listener's  enjoyment.

Finally,  teachers  of  Greek  can  now 

find  an  unusual  and  useful  example 
recorded  of  Greek  speech.  Moses 
Hadas,  noted  scholar  of  languages, 
reads  portions  of  the  ".Apologfy"  in  both 
Greek  and  English  in  the  recording 
"ON  THE  DEATH  OF  SOCRATES" 
(Folkways  FL  9979:  117  West  46thl 
Street,  New  York  36.)

EcJScreen   &  AV  Guide— October,    1959 


According  to  Dr.  Hadas,  it  is  in  the 
"Apology"  that  Socrates  dehneates  his 
own  concept  of  his  own  function  on 
earth,  his  mission  to  sting  men  to 
think,  to  examine  their  ideas  and  con- 
cepts, to  question  the  finality  of  their 
conclusions.  Portions  of  the  "Phaedo" 
are  included  in  the  recording  includ- 
ing Socrates'  conversations  with  his 
friends  on  the  last  day  of  his  life. 

The  recording,  which  is  accom- 
panied by  a  complete  Greek  and 
English  script,  can  be  useful  to  mature 
high  school  students  studying  Greek, 
to  college  students  and  to  adults  work- 
ing in  the  language  areas  involved  as 
well  as  in  philosophy  and  Greek  his- 
tory. 


ENRICH.VIENT  MATERfALS  (246 
Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  1,  N.  Y.)  has 
released  several  new  titles,  including 
THE  MONROE  DOCTRINE,  which 
is  backed  up  by  F.  D.  ROOSEVELT'S 
FOUR   FREEDOMS   SPEECH. 

The  former  is  actually  a  summary  of 
the  events,  conferences  and  decisions 
which  led  to  the  pronouncement  by 
President  James  Monroe  of  the  simple, 
yet  decisive  foreign  policy  statement 
wliich  bears  his  name.  The  recording 
reports,  accurately,  that  the  statement 
is  far  better  known  today  than  it  was 
when  it  was  spoken.  In  fact,  according 
to  most  historians,  the  far-reaching, 
vital  policy  statement  was  largely 
ignored  in  its  original  presentation 
as  merely  another  facet  of  an  annual 
"State  of  the  Union"  message  to  the 
(Congress. 

The  recording  includes  an  impor- 
tant teaching  device  —  a  point-by-point 
sunmiary  of  the  Monroe  Doctrine. 
This  very  good  delineation  and  pres- 
entation of  this  keystone  statement  of 
our  foreign  policy  can  be  used  in 
classes  —  sixth  grade  or  junior  high 
school  preferably,  not  only  to  point  up 
a  particular  period  in  history  but  also 
to  encourage  discussion  of  our  current 
policies  and  the  relations  existing 
throughout  the  Western  world  today. 
The  Monroe  Doctrine  is  a  "live  issue" 
in  wf)rid  affairs  and  this  recording  can 
be  used   to  emphasize  this. 

F.  D.  ROOSEVELT'S  FOUR  FREE- 
I)(X\IS  SI>EKC:H  is  a  quick,  perhaps 
too  (juick.  siniimary  of  the  events  of 
the  two  decades  between  the  first  and 
second  World  Wars.  Although  we,  as 
teachers,  knew  much  of  this  period, 
the  students  we  reach  in  the  upper 
elementary  grades  and  the  junior  high 
school  —  and  thereby  the  students  for 
whom  this  recording  is  intended  — 
know  of  tliis  period  only  through  hear- 
say, reading  and  reports.  They  can 
have  no  memory  of  it.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


We  saw  a  good  niatiy  people,  young 
and  old,  this  past  summer,  and  one 
thing  impre.ssed  us  about  all  of  them. 
Whenever  anyone  had  a  good  story 
to  tell  or  an  interesting  anecdote  to 
relate,  they  could  be  assured  of  an 
audience  and  willing  eyes  and  ears. 
Now,  should  you  not  get  the  point  of 
our  statement  immediately,  this  is  ex- 
actly how  we  feel  about  filmstrip  pro- 
ductions. It  does  not  worry  us  in  the 
least  that  there  may  be  several  sets 
dealing  with  the  same  subject  matter 
—for  each  producer  has  probably  put 
in  something  to  make  his  particular 
set  a  bit  different  from  another.  We 
are  not  worried  about  saying  this 
either,  for  if  teachers  are  wise  in  mak- 
ing selections  of  materials,  they  will 
realize  this  and  begin  to  use  several 
sets  in  order  to  bring  these  different 
aspects  of  the  story  to  the  attention  of 
their  pupils.  Once  again  we  risk  the 
dangers  of  repetition  to  remind  you 
that  library  shelves  are  filled  with 
l)ooks  dealing  with  the  same  subject 
(and  no  one  condemns  this  fact);  in 
fact  people  rejoice  over  the  fact  that 
there  are  differing  viewpoints  put  in- 
to print  for  us  all  to  read,  compare 
and  discuss.  So  start  tlie  new  term  with 
a  look  at  the  filmstrip  catalogs,  and 
don't  be  afraid  to  mark  down  for 
preview  and  consideration  for  use  all 
the  material  you  can  secure  on  a  sub- 
ject. Your  pupils  might  like  to  hear 
two  sides  of  a  story— and  remember  it 
better  because  of  having  seen  two 
presentations. 

Television  Series 

(color,  3  strips;  Vis-ta  I'ilnis,  P.O. 
Box  2406,  .Sepulveda,  Cal.;  $10.50  per 
set,  $1  single  strip).  .\  new  producer 
and  a  new  set,  which  is  good  to  in- 
clude here.  Television  is  jirobably  the 
most  discussed  and  least  understood 
medium  of  modern  communication. 
Inasmuch  as  it  is  here  to  stay  and  is 
certainly  a  part  of  everyday  life  on 
this  sphere,  it  would  seem  wise  to 
make  some  attempt  to  learn  to  appre- 
ciate what  it  is,  what  it  brings  into 
our  lives  and  how  it  operates.  In  this 
series  the  |>ro<lurers  give  us  an  ex- 
cellent idea  of  what  constitutes  THE 
TELEVISION  STATION  AND  ITS 
SERVICES.  EQUIPMENT  AND 
SETS  FOR  LIVE  TELEVISION  and 
PREPARATION  OF  THE  LIVE 
TELEVISION  SHOIV.  The  whole  aim 


of  the  series  is  to  help  us  understand 
just  what  it  takes  to  produce  a  live 
television  show  and  how  this  show 
"gets  on  the  air."  We  can  imagine  any 
modern  child  being  intrigued  by  this 
series  and  we  can  also  see  the  value 
of  this  material  for  students  in  |)ro- 
duction  courses.  I'he  story  is  plainly 
outlined,  the  various  devices  such  as 
transmitters,  sets  and  props  are  de- 
scribed and  the  planning  process  in- 
volved is  well  outlined.  Material  such 
as  this  is  timely,  interesting  and  re- 
lated to  modern  life.  We  personally 
found  the  series  both  appealing  and 
jjractical.  It  is  good  to  see  such  mate- 
rial made  available  and  to  recommend 
it  for  use  wherever  television  is  con- 
sidered and  discussed. 

Atlantic  Region  Series 

(3  strips,  color;  produced  by  Na- 
tional Film  Board  of  Canada  and 
available  from  Stanley  Bowmar  Oj., 
Valhalla,  N.Y.;  $5  per  strip).  Mudi  of 
Canada's  agricultural  and  shipping 
wealth  is  concentrated  in  the  prov- 
inces of  the  Atlantic  Region.  This 
series  introduces  us  to  the  general 
history,  terrain  and  resources  of  that 
area  and  then  gives  a  very  complete 
pictorial  description  of  the  shipping 
industry  and  of  forest  and  farm  life. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  the  combina- 
tion of  activities  and  the  extent  to 
which  the  work  of  the  area  contributes 
to  life  in  the  Western  hemisphere. 
Ihe  factual  information  is  well  j)re- 
sented  and  the  pictorial  story  is  good. 
Many  important  geographical  facts  are 
included  and  the  series  is  excellent  for 
any  study  or  consideration  of  Clanada. 
Manuals  supply  additional  data  and 
are  excellent  resource  material. 

Heat,  Light  and  Sound 

(color,  7  strips;  produced  by  Jam 
Handy  Org.,  2821  E.  Grand  Blvd., 
Detroit  11,  Michigan:  $31.50  per  set, 
$5.75  single  strip)  .  To  understand  the 
world  in  which  we  live  it  is  essential 
to  know  something  of  the  nature  of 
heat,  light  and  sound.  They  are  part 
of  everything  and  affect  everyone.  In 
this  series  we  consider  Cause  and  Na- 
ture of  Heat;  How  Heat  Causes  Ex-

the  series  is  directly  related  to  things 
we  see  and  hear  all  around  us,  and  it 
will  be  ver)'  interesting  to  tarry  out 
the  simple  experiments  suggested.  The 
presentation  is  practical,  directly  cor- 
related to  the  needs  and  interests  of 
\oung  scientists  in  the  upper  elemen- 
tary and  junior  high  school  science 
classes.  Probably  the  practicality  of 
the  series  is  what  will  appeal  to  both 
teachers  and  pupils  and  which  makes 
it  a  good  set  to  reconunend. 


Life  in  Elizabethan  Times 

(4  strips,  color,  produced  by  Popu- 
lar Science  and  available  frorn  Mc- 
Graw-Hill Films,  330  West  42  St., 
New  York  36,  N.Y.;  $22.50  per  set, 
S6  single  strip).  The  Elizabethan  pe- 
riod and  the  people  who  lived  and 
worked  then  are  of  ever  continuing 
interest,  particularly  to  students  of 
literature  and  the  theatre.  Here  the 
producers  highlight  the  life  of  William 
Shakespeare  and  the  theatre  during 
the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth.  We  see 
the  London  of  Shakespeare,  and  the 
people  who  were  instrumental  in  mak- 
ing this  a  period  to  be  remembered. 
Both  theatre  and  players  are  presented 
for  our  study:  leading  characters  are 
shown,  and  the  nature  of  the  plays 
described.  This  is  an  excellent  series 
for  literature  classes  and  social  studies. 


Pennsylvania    Geography 
Filmstrips 

(7  strips,  color;  available  from  Visu- 
al /Vids  Service,  P.  O.  Box  470,  S.T.C., 
Westchester,  Penn.;  $27.50  per  set, 
quantity  discount  on  orders  of  10  or 
more).  It  is  important  that  the  geog- 
raphy and  history  of  each  of  our  states 
be  visualized  for  study.  This  producer 
has  undertaken  to  make  available  such 
local  sets,  and  the  Pennsylvania  set 
certainly  provides  a  wealth  of  informa- 
tion about  that  state.  He  gives  us 
facts  about  Ijurictl  treasure  (sub-soil 
resources),  forests,  lowlands,  farm- 
lands and  maiiuf.icturing  cities.  There 
is  local  value  in  the  material  and  it 
will  also  be  of  etjual  value  whenever 
individual  state  resources  are  consid- 
ered. Other  state  sets  are  in  process  of 
preparation. 

The  Story  of  the 
Panama  Canal 

(color,  single  strip  and  record;  pro- 
ducetl  by  HR  Productions,  17  East  45 
St.,  New  York  17,  N.Y.;  $11  per  unit 
of  fdmstrip  and  record) .  It  seems  to  us 
that  almost  anyone  would  enjoy  this 
story  of  the  Panama  Canal,  because  it 
is  so  well  presented.  Of  course  if  you 
are  a  stamp  collector  you  will  get 
extra  enjoyment,  for  the  story  is  pre- 
sented through  the  medium  of  postage 


stamps  (in  each  instance  the  stamp  is 
one  produced  to  commemorate  persons 
and  events  connected  with  the  build- 
ing of  the  canal).  The  voice  of  the 
narrator  is  good,  and  the  record  ac- 
tually adds  to  the  value  of  the  film- 
strip,  making  a  unit  which  is  both 
pleasing  to  see  and  hear  and  valuable 
for  informational  purposes.  Material 
of  this  type  can  be  used  in  a  variety 
of  situations,  and  has  a  rich  potential 
for  classroom  work.  It  is  not  stereo- 
typed, and  should  appeal  to  pupils. 
We  can  see  it  as  useful  for  social 
studies,  for  literature  and  art,  for 
world  geography  and  for  stamp  collec- 
tors.   It  can  be  used  with  many  ages. 

You  and  Your  Driving 

(color,  ()  strips;  produced  by  Stan- 
bow  Productions,  Inc.,  Valhalla,  New 
York:  S28.50  per  set).  To  the  teacher 
and  pupils  of  a  driver  education 
course  this  series  will  be  of  great  help. 
Visualizations  are  planned  to  illus- 
trate what  to  look  for  in  learning  to 
drive;  rules  of  the  road  to  be  observed; 
how  to  interpret  signs;  driver  respons- 
ibility. There  are  directed  questions 
designed  to  make  the  driver-learner 
think  about  what  he  is  doing  at  the 
wheel.  Cartoon  technique  has  been 
employed  and  there  is  simple  direct- 
ness to  the  visuals.  This  is  another 
practical,  useful  set.

AV  IN  THE  CHURCH  FIELD      ' 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Important  Experiment 

(One  of  the  most  important  A-V 
books  we  have  seen  recently  is  Rae 
Bragman's  "A  Year's  Program  of 
Audio-Visual  Units  and  Projects."  In 
its  226  pages  some  23  AV  projects  are 
described  as  they  were  carried  through 
in  a  religious  school.  Many  audio  and 
visual  media  were  utilized,  and  the 
grade  gam\ut  was  from  Kindergarten 
through  Ninth. 

When  Dr.  Samuel  Grand,  Director 
of  the  Department  of  Experimental 
Education  and  Audio  Visual  Aids  of 
the  Uniom  of  American  Hebrew  Con-

set  forth  a  philosophy  and  a  point  of 
vieio  which  is  needed  desperately  in 
the  church  field  today.  For  this  reason 
we  are  pleased  to  be  able  to  present 
it  to  our  readers  herewith,  with  his 
permission.  Let  it  encourage  you  to 
secure  frofn  UAHC  this  important  re- 
port.  The  price  is  $3.00.) 

Audiovisual  instruction  in  the  Jew- 
ish religious  school  began  in  earnest 
in  1949  with  the  production  of  the 
first  series  of  holiday  filmstrips.  Since 
then  a  host  of  filmstrips,  records,  fian- 
nelgraph  materials  and  motion  pictures 
have  appeared  to  assist  the  teacher  in 
all  subjects  of  the  curriculuin  of  the 
religious  school.  Fortunately,  the  wide 
acceptance  of  these  instructional  tools 
has  insured  a  continuous  program  of 
production  by  several  public  Jewish 
organizations  and  by  a  few  private 
companies. 

As  important,  perhaps  more  impor- 
tant, than  the  production  of  top-flight 
audiovisual  materials,  is  the  high- 
grade  utilization  of  these  teaching 
tools  in  the  classroom  of  our  religious 
schools.  Actually,  it  is  this  phase  of 
the  audiovisual  program  that  requires 
the  attention  of  our  educational  lead- 
ership as  well  as  of  the  rank  and  file 
of  our  teaching  personnel. 

With  this  consideration  in  mind  we 
selected  one  school  for  experimenta- 
tion in  the  utilization  of  the  various 
audiovisual  media  and  techniques.  It 
was  to  be  an  experiment  in  depth,  for 
we  wished  to  have  teachers  in  classes 
all  the  way  from  the  kindergarten 
through  the  12th  grade  develop  units 
and  projects  of  an  audiovisual  char- 
acter. We  proceeded  on  the  premise 
that  it  was  an  educational  fallacy  to 
designate  one  or  two  teachers  as  the 
audiovisual  experts  in  a  school,  just  as 
it  is  unsound  to  establish  one  class- 
room as  the  audiovisual  room.  All 
teachers,  we  felt,  should  be  adept  at 
audiovisual  techniques,  and  every  class- 
room should  be  used  for  their  presenta- 
tions. 

For  such  a  pilot  experiment  we 
chose  the  religious  school  of  Temple 
Israel  in  New  Rochelle,  New  York, 
whose  principal,  Rae  Bragman,  has 
pioneered  in  audiovisual  instruction 
for  many  years.  In  carrying  through  the 
experiment  Mrs.  Bragman  has  received 
the  encouragement  of  Rabbi  Jacob  K. 
Shankman  and  the  cooperation  of  the 
teachers  in   the  religious  school. 

The  experiment  has  succeeded  be- 
yond   all    expectations.    This    manual 


represents  its  results  in  a  most  graphic 
manner.  Appropriately  the  projects 
are  represented  by  pictures  (at  the 
end  of  each  chapter),  which  show  the 
pupils  in  the  audiovisual  activity 
which  was  best  suited  to  the  subject' 
under  consideration.  Each  teacher  de- 
■scribes  his  or  her  class  unit  from  its 
inception  to  the  culminating  activity 
which  was  presented  in  the  "Festival 
of  Projects." 

What  emerges  in  these  descriptions 
is  infinitely  more  than  an  accumula- 
tion of  audiovisual  know-how.  It  is 
rather  a  compendium  of  excellent 
pedagogic  suggestions  for  all  subjects 
of  the  curriculum  and  for  all  age  levels 
in  the  religious  school.  This  is  con- 
vincing proof  that  audiovisual  tech- 
niques are  not  "a  thing  apart"  but  are 
closely  intertwined  in  the  fabric  of 
good  educational  methodology. 

We  present  this  collection  of  audio- 
visual projects  to  the  public  in  the 
hope  that  its  suggestions  will  be  help- 
ful to  teachers  in  all  parts  of  the 
country.  We  are  interested,  to  be  sure, 
in  the  production  of  audiovisual  aids 
of  superior  educational  and  technical 
excellence;  we  are  far  more  concerned 
with  the  teacher  in  the  classroom  and 
his  effective  use  of  these  and  other 
pedagogic  aids.  In  the  last  analysis, 
the  teacher  is  the  foundation  of  our 
entire  educational  structure. 

Padre  On  Horseback 

When  the  Colonies  were  but  in- 
secure bridgeheads  of  Europe's  civiliza- 
tion on  the  East  Coast,  Father  Eusebio 
Kino  came  up  from  Mexico  City  into 
the  wilds  of  (now)  Arizona  and  New 
Mexico  to  plant  both  Christian  mis- 
sions and  civilization.  Avalon  Daggett 
Productions  (441  N.  Orange  Drive, 
Los  Angeles  36,  Calif.)  in  a  12-minute 
color  film  summarizes  Padre  Kino's 
labors  in  fine  narration  and  excellent 
photography.  In  this  film  we  see  the 
fruits  of  this  wise  and  dedicated  man's 
life.  The  work  of  this  pioneer  has  be- 
come one  of  the  foundations  of  the 
culture  and  life  of  the  Great  Southwest. 
Instructive  and  attractive,  this  film  is 
recommended  for  use  with  the  fourth 
grade  and  up  in  church,  school,  syna- 
gogue, and  parish  hall. 

Mixed  Marriages

Film  Notes 

/'//  S/",?.  Not  Cry,  is  a  beautiful  film 
uliich  documents  the  spirit  and  soul 
•  il  the  African.  It  was  a  hard  film  to 
I. ike,  and  Berkeley  Studios,  of  the 
i  iiitcd  Church  of  Canada,  and  Anson 
Moorhouse,  old-hand  at  documentaries, 
the  genius  behind  this  film,  deserve 
great  credit  for  a  superb  job.  This 
film  makes  you  say:  such  fine  people 
need  a  religion  finer  than  fear  and 
superstition,  and,  by  the  grace  of  God, 
we  will  do  our  part  to  get  it  to  them! 
Highly  useful  in  church;  in  family 
nights;  in  Sunday  evening  services;  in 
colleges;  and  in  the  service  clubs  of 
the  community.  In  28  minutes  it  speaks 
volumes  on  the  .African  as  a  human 
being.  Available  (in  U.  S.)  through 
United  Church  of  Christ,  287  Fourth 
Ave.,  N.  Y.,  and  1501  Race  St.,  Phila- 
delphia 2,  Pa.;  write  to  former  to  see

None  Goes  His  Way  Alone  — SO 
minutes;  color  and  B&W;  the  Method- 
ist and  other  local  rental  libraries  —

inspiration  it  can  give;  by  city  people 
for  the  information  it  can  impart.  It 
shows  a  rural  church  getting  over  dry- 
rot;  it  can  warn  city  churches  about 
the  wet-rot  that  can  overtake  them;  it 
can  tell  all  churches  that  churches 
don't  stay  alive  when  people  die  in 
their  spirits.  Color  rents  for  $9.00; 
i  B&W  for  §6.00.  This  is  a  good  and 
useful   film.

There  is  a  difference  between  the 
Protestant  and  Roman  Catholic  view  of 
just  about  every  item  in  religious  faith, 
and  some  of  these  differences  constitute 
the  subject  matter  of  Sons  and  Heirs,

Based  on  the  concept  that  we  should 
know  something  of  the  faith  of  our 
neighbors,  these  two  color  (art)  film-

The  Pioneer  Burro 

(Pat  Cowling  Pictures,  1056  South 
Robertson  Boulevard,  Los  Angeles  35, 
California)  14  minutes,  16iTim,  sound 
color,    1959.   $135.00 

Description 

The  Pioneer  Burro  portrays  the  role 
of  the  burro  in  the  settlement  of  the 
West  as  it  teaches  interesting  details 
of  the  life  of  the  typical  solitary  pio- 
neer prospector  who  opened  these  un- 
known regions  to  human  habitation. 
In  this  film  the  role  of  the  burro  is 
entwined  with  the  fate  of  the  pros- 
pector in  scenes  which  depict  the  con- 
ditions under  which  the  gold  seeker 
labored,  and  it  illustrates  the  methods 
and  processes  used  to  claim  the  pre- 
cious metal.  The  plot  of  The  Pioneer 
Burro  carries  the  prospector  and  the 
burro  through  the  perils  of  the  moun- 
tains and  the  desert  and  paints  a 
picture  which  convincingly  endears 
the  memory  of  the  burro  in  the 
romantic  history  of  California  and  the 
West. 

The  opening  scenes  of  the  film  sur- 
vey the  mountain  range  in  California 
in  1849  and  the  narrator  explains  that 
gold  had  been  in  the  mountain  range 
unnoticed  for  thousands  of  years  until 
water  washed  particles  down  the  slopes 
into  the  river  beds  and  left  deposits. 
Pioneers  came  to  claim  this  gold.  A 
prospector  is  shown  as  he  trudges 
along  holding  in  his  hand  a  lead  rope 
which  is  attached  to  a  heavily  loaded 
burro  that  patiently  follows  the  man 
across  the  arid  land.  The  man  and 
the  burro  are  an  inseparable  team  in 
the  quest  for  gold. 

During  the  search  for  a  strike  the 
prospector  stops  to  take  a  dirt  sample 
from  a  dry  stream  bed  and  loads  it 
on  his  burro's  back  to  be  carried  to 
a  running  stream  where  it  can  be 
panned  for  its  gold  content.  The 
next  scene  shows  the  prospector  wash- 
ing the  sample  beside  a  stream.  The 
lighter  materials  are  washed  and 
floated  away  to  leave  the  heavier 
materials  and  the  gold,  if  any,  in  the 
pan  as  sediment.  After  continued  wash- 
ing the  bright  and  shiny  bottom  of 
the  pan  indicates  that  this  sample 
(ontains  no  gold.  The  prospector  and 
the  burro  move  on,  now  doubting  the 
exaggerated  and  false  stories  of  great 
wealth  just  for  the  taking  which  had 
been  told  in  the  East. 


"Gold  is  where  you  find  it"  is  a 
saying  which  illustrates  the  lack  of 
systematic  knowledge  of  prospecting 
that  existed  among  the  uninitiated  gold 
seekers  as  they  pursued  their  dreams  of 
great  wealth.  The  prospector  and  his 
burro  unwisely  wander  away  from  the 
stream  beds  and  into  the  uncharted 
arid  lands  where  they  become  lost. 
After  the  prospector  drinks  all  of 
the  water  the  heat  begins  to  sap  his 
strength  and  reason,  but  the  burro 
steadfastly  moves  along  under  his 
heavy  burden.  Heat  and  frustration 
overcome  the  prospector  and  he  turns 
the  burro  loose  and  begins  to  search 
frantically  and  at  random  for  water. 
The  burro,  having  been  freed,  dis- 
covers a  water  hole  in  the  desert 
and  stands  nearby  to  notify  his  master 
of  his  life-saving  find.  The  prospector 
stumbles  and  crawls  to  the  water  and 
drinks  his  fill  while  the  burro  just 
stands  by  as  though  "it  is  all  in  a 
day's  work." 

The  next  scenes  show  the  prospector 
and  the  burro  tortuously  scrambling 
up  a  steep  mountainside.  The  burro 
is  surefooted  under  his  burden  as  he 
ing  the  load  of  the  prospector's  food, 
cautiously  picks  his  way  upward  carry- 
tools,  and  supplies.  When  they  reach 
a  stream  the  prospector  labors  in  the 
shallow  bottom  with  pick  and  pan 
while  the  burro  rests  and  dines  on 
"anything  that  g^ows  and  is  not  too 
bitter."  The  narrator  explains  that 
an  average  pan  of  gold  may  be  worth 
fifty  cents  and  the  prospector  may 
collect  as  much  as  twenty-five  dollars, 
a  day,  depending  upon  the  richness 
of  the  deposit  he   is  working. 

Following  is  a  sequence  which  deals 
with  gold  mining  processes.  The 
cradle,  a  device  which  could  handle 
five  or  six  times  more  gold  than  hand- 
panning,  was  introduced  in  the  West. 
This  new  equipment  added  to  the 
burro's  burden  but  he  carried  on  in 
his  usual  dependable  fashion.  The 
prospector  is  shown  in  close-up  views 
as  he  loads  the  cradle  hopper  with  a 
sample,  pours  water  over  it,  rocks  the 
cradle,  separates  the  worthless  materi- 
als from  the  hopper,  and  retains  the 
heavier  material  and  gold  as  sediment 
in  the  cradle  bottom. 

When  the  pay  dirt  was  found  some 
long  distance  from  water  the  burro 
had  to  transport  load  after  load  over 
the  rough  terrain  in  the  heat  and 
dust.    Whenever   the   claim   was   rich 


enough  the  prospector  and  the  burn 
worked  all  day  for  months  to  dair 
enough  gold  for  the  ])rospector  ti 
return  home.  Sometimes  this  drudger 
and  boredom  was  relieved  by  rar 
finds  of  great  value.  This  day  th 
cradle  hopper  caught  and  held 
nugget  of  pure  gold  worth  a  hundrei 
dollars  or  more.  The  prospector  pick 
it  up,  inspects  it  carefully,  and  leap 
for  joy.  He  runs  to  the  burro  t( 
show  his  good  fortune  but  the  burn 
simply  looks  on  uncomprehendingh 
stolidly  refusing  to  share  the  pros 
pector's  enthusiasm. 

The  closing  sequence  deals  with  th 
loneliness  of  the  pioneer  prospecto 
who  had  only  his  burro  for  a  com 
panion  for  months  at  a  time.  At  ; 
camp  fire  in  the  wilderness  at  nigh 
he  sits  and  longs  for  his  loved  one 
and  gazes  at  a  treasured  portrait  b' 
the  light  of  the  fire.  The  narrator  ex 
plains  that  many  prospectors  did  no 
find  riches  in  gold  but  they  did,  how- 
ever, find  treasure  of  more  lastin; 
value  in  the  West  and  stayed  on  u 
settle  the  region. 

The  Pioneer  Burro,  in  a  summary 
recounts  the  qualities  which  natun 
gave  the  burro  that  admirably  fittcf 
the  little  animal  for  the  role  it  playec 
in  the  settlement  of  the  West  ir 
scenes  which  recapitulate  previou 
scattered  views  and  comments.  Th< 
burro  was  not  severely  affected  by  thi 
heat,  it  could  go  long  periods  withoui 
water,  it  was  surefooted  and  caution; 
in  the  mountains,  it  could  easily  fine 
food  in  the  mountains  and  on  tht 
desert,  and  it  was  a  patient  and  un 
complaining  beast  of  burden.  ,\t  tht 
end  of  the  film  the  prospector  and  th< 
burro  are  shown  yet  wandering  acrosr 
the  arid  land  in  a  continuing  searcl 
for  gold. 

Appraisal 

The  Pioneer  Burro  should  be  es- 
pecially interesting  to  pupils  in  th< 
elementary  and  junior  high  schoo 
grades  and  will  serve  to  give  an  emo 
tional  component  to  the  learning  o> 
historical  facts.  The  appeal  of  tht 
burro  as  a  focal  point  of  the  filn 
continuity  adds  a  charm  to  the  presen- 
tation which  should  please  genera) 
audiences  as  an  entertainment  feature 
It  points  out  the  hardships  which  thf 
pioneers  endured  during  the  gold 
rush  and  indicates  that  wealth  wa;

in  the  main  the  greatest  values  which 
came  from  the  turbulent  period  in 
.\nierican  history  were  not  gold.  The 
film  ha.s  two  main  themes  —  that  of 
the  adaptation  of  the  burro  to  the 
conditions  of  gold  prospecting  during 
the  time  and  the  typical  fate  of  a 
pioneer  prospector  who  came  in  search 
of  gold.  Within  this  development  a 
close-up  view  of  hand  mining  methods 
is  presented.  The  implication  of  the 
conditions  under  which  the  prospector 
labored  and  the  resulting  settlement 
and  development  of  the  territory 
seems  the  more  important  theme  in 
spite  of  the  prominent  place  the  burro 
holds  in  the  film  title.  It  teaches  some 
facts  about  the  location  of  gold,  how 
it  is  mined  by  hand  methods,  and  the 
manner  in  which  it  is  distributed  in 
the  earth.  It  also  shows  how  natural 
qualities  of  an  animal  peculiarly  fit 
it  for  a  particular  task  and  the  im- 
portance of  such  an  animal  in  the 
development  of  an  enterprise.

Man  of  the  Century: 
Churchill 

(McGraw-Hill  Book  Company,  Text-

white,   1959.    .|250. 

Description 

.As  the  title  suggests,  the  eventful 
life  and  critical  times  of  Winston 
Churchill  are  treated  in  a  film  that 
launched  the  Twentieth  Century  Series 
on  October  20,  1957.  over  the  CBS 
Television  network.  Walter  Cronkite's 
narrative  selects,  interprets,  and  ties 
together  incidents  in  Sir  Winston's 
public  career;  Churchill  himself  plays 
the  hero's  hole.  Supporting  roles  in 
this  epic-drama  are  played  by  Lenin, 
Stalin,  Hitler,  Chamberlain,  Goering, 
Mussolini,  Roosevelt,  Atlee,  Lady 
Churchill,  and  Queen  Elizabeth.  Thou- 
sands of  people,  both  well-known  and 
unknown,  provide  the  settings. 

The  portrayal  of  Churchill's  early 
life  includes  his  childhood  at  Blenheim 
Palace  and  Harrow;  his  military  career 
at  Sandhurst,  in  Cuba  and  India;  his 
experiences  as  a  correspondent  in  the 
Boer  War.  He  began  his  political 
career  in  1900  as  a  Conservative  mem- 
ber of  the  House  of  Commons.  After 
joining  the  Liberal  Party  he  was  un- 
seated because  of  his  opposition  to  the 
Suffragettes.  Then  came  the  cabinet 
appointments  of  Home  Secretary  and 
First  Lord  of  the  Admiralty.  His  sup- 
port of  the  ill-fated  Gallipoli  Cam- 
paign   of    World    War    I    forced    his 


EdScreen  &  AV  GuicJe — October,    1959 


resignation.  Believing  that  he  was 
finished  politically,  he  rejoined  his 
old  regiment  fighting  in  France.  But 
Lloyd  George  appointed  him  Minister 
for  Munitions,  in  which  position  he 
promoted  the  use  of  the  tank  and  the 
airplane. 

With  the  Armistice,  Churchill  de- 
voted his  energies  to  an  attempt  to 
stop  the  communism  that  had  so  re- 
cently bloomed  in  Russia,  but  he 
failed  in  three  successive  attempts  to 
gain  a  seat  in  Parliament.  He  became 
Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer  in  Bald- 
win's Cabinet,  but  the  1929  victory  of 
the  Labor  Party  turned  him  out.  In 
1933  he  began  to  warn  an  apathetic 
populace  against  Hitler.  When  Cham- 
berlain signed  the  Munich  Pact, 
Churchill  called  it  "total  and  unmiti- 
gated defeat."  When  Britain  entered 
World  War  II,  Churchill  returned  as 
First  Lord  of  the  Admiralty.  Then  at 
the  age  of  65  he  became  Prime 
Minister. 

Concurrent  with  events  of  the  early 
war  years  —  the  evacuation  at  Dunkirk, 
the  capitulation  of  France,  and  the 
air  battle  of  Britain  —  Churchill's  elo- 
quent words  and  personal  visits  helped 
bolster  the  people's  morale.  When 
Hitler  attacked  Russia,  Churchill  threw 
his  support  to  Stalin.  Now  that  Ameri- 
can support  was  needed,  Churchill  met 
Roosevelt  off  the  coast  of  Newfound-

land  to  agree  upon  a  declaration  of 
principles,  the  Atlantic  Charter.  Later 
that  year,  when  the  Japanese  attack 
on  Pearl  Harbor  solidified  American 
opinion,  Churchill  addressed  a  joint 
session  of  Congress  a  few  days  after 
war  was  declared.  Then  he  went  on 
to  Ottawa  to  address  the  Canadian 
Parliament.  He  visited  British  and 
American  troops  in  North  Africa;  met 
with  chiefs  of  states  at  Casablanca, 
Teheran,  and  Yalta.  Although  he  was 
dissuaded  by  the  King  from  watching 
from  a  cruiser  the  decisive  Allied  in- 
vasion of  Europe,  he  was  on  French 
soil  four  days  later.  Then  came  victory, 
the  Potsdam  conference  and  his  dis- 
missal by  the  British  in  favor  of  Atlee 
and  tlie  Labor  Party. 

After  a  period  of  painting,  writing, 
accepting  honors  and  making  speeches 

(at  Fulton,  Missouri,  arid  Massachu- 
setts Institute  of  Technology)  to  warn 
the  free  world  of  the  danger  of  Rus- 
sian communism,  he  returned  once 
more  to  No.  10  Downing  Street.  Since 
then     he    has     received     outstanding 

honors     from    his     own    people    and 

their  queen. 

Appraisal 

Winston  Churchill,  Man  of  the 
Century  is  a  film  that  will  grow  in 
value  with  the  years.  Newsreel  docu- 
ments and  recorded  speeches  —  raw 
material  for  historical  research  —  en- 
dow the  film  with  archival  and  refer- 
ence value. 

There  is,  of  course,  the  problem  of 
the  film's  length  fitting  the  usual  class 
periods.  Nevertheless,  resourceful  edu- 
cators can  find  ways  of  making  this 
important  film  available  outside  of 
class.  If  high  schools  and  colleges  are 
concerned  with  devices  for  individual 
learning,  it  would  make  sense  for  a 
student  to  be  able  to  check  out  such 
a  film  as  this  and  be  as.signed  to  a 
projection  room,  just  as  he  mia;ht  now 
use  microfilm  in  reference  work.  Also, 
special  interest  groups,  such  as  history 
club,  as  well  as  general  adult  audiences, 
will  find  the  film  interesting  as  pro- 
gram material.  More  mature  adults 
will  find  a  reminiscence  and  synthesis 
of  events  with  which  they  are  already 
familiar.  They  will  hear  again  excerpts 
from  Churchill's  famous  speeches  and 
see  him  deliver  some  humorous  quips. 
Those  who  are  sensitive  to  the  aesthetic 
qualities  of  film  will  find  unforgettable 
the  quiet  suspense  of  the  sequence  of 
Britain  waiting  for  Hitler's  air  attack 
to  begin.  In  another  lyrical  sequence 
describing  the  evening  before  the  in- 
vasion of  Europe,  the  film  borrows 
scenes  from  the  documentary  Listen  to 
Britain.  The  mood  of  the  whole  film 
is  strengthened  by  the  musical  score 
of  George  Antheil. 

McGraw-Hill    Book    Company    and 


other  organizations  are  performing  an 
outstanding  service  to  education  hy 
distributing  this  and  similar  films  thus 
assuring  that  television  programs  of 
lasting  value  are  not  one-time  presenta- 
tions.

The  Colloidal  State 

(Coronet  Instructional  Films,  Coronet 
Building,  Chicago  1,  Illinois)  14  min- 
utes, 16mm,  sound,  color  or  black  and 
white,  1959.  |165  or  $90.  Teacher's 
guide  available. 

Description 

The  Colloidal  State  shows  examples 
of  common  colloids  such  as  clouds, 
plaster,  and  paint,  and  defines  a  colloid 
in  relation  to  solutions  and  suspen- 
sions. Characteristics  of  a  colloid  are 
shown  to  be  a  function  of  particle  size 
with  colloidal  particles  being  too  small 
to  filter  but  too  large  to  pass  through 
a  membrane. 

A  demonstration  of  the  Tyndall 
effect  in  a  colloid  and  the  Brownian 
movement  caused  by  the  motion  of 
colloidal  particles  is  shown.  Anima- 
tion is  used  to  show  that  this  movement 
of  the  visible  particles  is  a  result  of 
their  continuous  bombardment  by  in- 
visible molecules. 

Eight  pos.sible  combinations  for  the 
forming  of  a  colloid  between  any  two 
of  the  tliree  states  of  matter  are  shown, 
but  the  combination  of  a  gas  dispersed 
in  a  gas  is  ruled  out  since  this  is 
demonstrated  to  be  a  dispersion  of 
molecules  rather  than  a  dispersion  of 
particles  of  colloidal  size. 

Examples  of  the  manufacture  of  col- 
loids include  grinding  pigments,  emul- 
sifying non-mixing  liquids,  and  co- 
agulating molecular  particles  to  col- 
loidal size.  Another  example  of  the 
dispersion  of  a  colloid  shows  the  effects 
of  like  electrical  charges  in  holding  the 
particles  in  a  dispersed  form.  Can- 
cellation of  these  charges  through  the 
addition  of  an  electrolyte  or  through 
the  use  of  a  high  voltage  electrical 
charge  demonstrates  the  destruction  of 
a  colloidal  dispersion. 

The  film  ends  with  a  number  of 
examples  of  the  uses  of  colloids  in  the 
preparation  of  leather,  casein,  homo- 
genized milk,  and  dyed  fabrics. 

Ap|>raisal 

The  Colloidal  State  provides  an 
overview  of  the  characteristics,  proper- 
ties, preparation,  and  uses  of  colloids. 
It  progresses  deliberately  from  concept 
to  concept  so  that  students  at  all 
levels  in  a  chemistry  class  will  gain 
from  its  use.  This  film  will  be  valuable 
both  as  an  introduction  and  as  a  sum-

Destription 

Gandlii,  in  portraying  significant 
events  in  the  life  and  work  of  Mo- 
haiidas  K.  Gandhi,  whose  name  is 
synonymous  with  non-violent  passive 
resistance  to  oppression  and  iniiversal 
hrothcrhood  and  love,  highlights  the 
history  of  India's  struggle  for  inde- 
pendence from  British  rule  and  the 
subsequent  conflict  with  the  Pakistani. 

The  film  opens  with  a  picture  of 
Gandhi,  the  political  moralist,  dressed 
in  a  loin  cloth,  imposed  over  a  map 
of  India.  The  title  pops  on  and  the 
narration  repeats  some  of  the  para- 
doxes of  Gandhi's  philosophv.  Follow- 
ing is  a  visual  study  of  contrasts  as 
siriking  as  the  philosophical  beliefs. 
The  opposing  forces— moral  and  mate- 
rial—are presented  in  scenes  which 
emphasize  Gandhi's  frailness  and  Brit- 
ish military  power.  Gandhi's  humility 
and   India's  princely  pomp  and  cere- 


mony, Im|)crial  wealth  and  splendor 
and  India's  poverty  and  squalor.  The 
narration  explains  the  relationships 
and  characteristics  of  the  opposing 
powers  and  sets  the  roles  that  are  to 
be  depicted  in  a  complex  and  difficult 
struggle  for  dominance  as  the  "tri- 
umph and  tragedy"  of  Mohandas 
Karamchand  Gandhi. 

The  next  sequence  explains  the  be- 
ginning of  open  conflict  as  the  boycott 
of  British  textile  goods  that  estab- 
lished the  spinning-wheel  as  the  peace- 
able but  relentless  symbol  of  Indian 
resistance  and  portrays  scenes  of 
Gandhi's  pilgrimage  to  the  sea  in  the 
twenty-four  day  Salt  March  where  the 
movement  of  civil  disobedience  was 
initiated  by  Gandhi  when  he  willfully 
picked  up  free  salt  from  the  seashore 
in  defiance  of  British  law.  Following 
the  start  of  the  conllict  a  series  of 
views  documents  the  attempts  of  the 
police  to  enforce  obedience  to  the  law 
through  force  of  violence  and  brutal 
whippings  of  subjects  who  meet  the 
challenge  by  submitting  to  the  physical 
punshiments  of  the  authorities  while 
returning  only  stubborn  non-coopera- 
tion and  love. 

The  developments  in  the  negotia- 
tions with  the  British  government  are 
followed  as  Gandhi,  the  chosen  repre- 
sentative   of    the    Indian    Nationalists 


Congress,  goes  about  his  work  with 
die  people  who  rally  around  him.  He 
is  shown  in  views  which  give  insight 
into  his  ])ersonality  and  his  methods 
of  carrying  forth  his  movement. 
Gandhi  is  pictured  during  his  activi- 
ties on  shipboard  while  traveling  to 
England  to  confer  with  the  British 
leaders,  upon  the  arrival  of  his  dip- 
lomatic party  in  England,  during  his 
stay  in  London,  and  in  the  town  of 
Lancashire  among  the  unemployed 
textile  workers  who  were  suffering 
because  of  India's  boycott  of  their 
goods.  The  British  government  offi- 
cials state  their  views  of  the  Indian 
situation  in  a  short  report  to  the 
news  cameras  after  the  breakdown  and 
failure  of  the  negotiations  and  give 
some  indication  of  the  lack  of  English 
unity  on  Indian  policy.  .Meanwhile 
Gandhi  and  his  contingent  depart  and 
this  sequence  ends  with  a  portrayal  of 
the  welcome  Gandhi  receives  upon  his 
return  to  India,  in  spite  of  his  failure 
to  gain  relief  from  their  pressing 
problems. 

A  fairly  rapid  succession  of  related 
scenes  pulls  together  the  events  that 
highlight  the  solution  of  the  problem 
of  separation  and  independence.  A 
change  in  the  British  government  cul- 
minates in  Gandhi's  incarceration, 
during    which    he    begins    his    protest 


"A    prism    dflivcs    its    iKiiiu-    fi<mi    the    shape    of    its    base."

fasts  to  effect  improvements  in  social 
conditions  at  Iiome.  These  fasts  cause 
him  criticism  from  within  the  Indian 
population.  When  the  British  govern- 
ment grants  Gandhi  his  freedom  he 
continues  his  work  for  the  aims  of 
Indian  independence  and  national 
unity.  During  this  period  the  action 
of  the  British  government  in  forcing 
India  into  World  War  II  without  the 
consent  of  the  Indian  leaders  brings 
about  an  intensification  of  the  Indian 
policy  of  non-cooperation  after  which 
the  British  make  some  concessions  to 
Indian  demands  and  promise  Do- 
minion status  to  the  colony  at  the  suc- 
cessful completion  of  the  war.  The 
Moslem  leaders  demand  a  partition 
of  the  country  when  India  is  separated 
from  Britain  and  remain  adamant  in 
their  refusal  to  be  reconciled  with  the 
Hindu  majority  in  spite  of  Gandhi's 
pleading  and  negotiations  with  them. 
Partition  having  been  effected  the 
British  troops  withdraw  and  then  the 
story  of  Gandhi's  tragedy  begins. 

Scenes  of  brutality  and  violence 
committed  by  Hindu  and  Moslem, 
each  against  the  other,  follow  as  refu- 
gees move  across  the  borders  of  India 
and  Pakistan  during  the  population 
shift  which  involves  fifteen  millions 
of  people.  .At  the  age  of  seventy-eight 


years  Gandhi  begins  to  work  franti- 
cally for  a  cessation  of  the  violence  and 
peace  and  understanding  between 
Hindus  and  Moslems,  and  he  and  his 
followers  walk  through  the  countries 
to  administer  wherever  help  is  needed. 
In  the  period  immediately  after  India's 
separation  from  foreign  rule  Gandhi 
emphasizes  human  brotherhood  and 
begins  another  fast  to  protest  the 
treatment  of  the  Moslem  minority  by 
the  Hindus  who  are  now  led  by  his 
former  associates  in  the  struggle  for 
independence.  As  the  Mahatma  comes 
out  to  say  his  daily  prayer  in  the 
garden  in  Delhi  on  January  30.  1948, 
he  is  met  by  the  usual  throng  of  wor- 
shippers, but  on  this  day  as  a  wor- 
shipper kneels  before  him  three  shots, 
deliberately  dispersed,  ring  out. 
Gandhi  falls  dying,  the  victim  of  a 
fanatical  Hindu  brother. 

The  film  ends  at  the  funeral  pyre 
with  a  eulogy  by  Nehru  in  reverence 
to  the  Mahatma,  "The  Great  Soul." 
\s  the  film  ends  the  narration  and 
captions  present  the  essence  of 
Gandhi's  philosophy:  "I  believe  in 
the  .supremacy  of  moral  law— the  law 
of  truth  and  love." 

Appraisal 

This  film  is  a  study  of  contrasts- 
extreme    against    extreme    in    mortal 


(onflict  and  the  material  force  against 
moral  resistance.  While  preseniiiig 
historical  tacts  about  an  important 
movement  in  the  history  of  Western 
culture,  it  portrays  a  dramatic  theme 
which  is  ever-present  in  the  culture 
of  all  peoples,  the  spiritual  forces 
of  the  culture  arrayed  against  the 
power  of  material  wealth  and  comfort 
in  the  determination  of  the  dominant 
values  of  the  society.  Gandhi  is  a  valu- 
able historical  record  in  the  decline 
of  colonalism  as  a  worltl  movement. 
It  also  has  significance  for  persons 
who  are  interested  in  a  visualization 
of  principles  which  are  expounded  in 
the  dominant  religion  of  the  Western 
culture.  This  film  contains  footage 
from  old  filmic  records  having  techni- 
cal quality  which  is  poor  by  compari- 
son with  the  present  standards  of 
film  production  but  which  adds  au- 
thenticity. Teachers  of  world  history, 
political  sciences,  and  religious  classes 
should  find  this  film  useful  in  present- 
ing information  concerning  the  politics 
of  the  period  and  pointing  up  discus- 
sion problems.  Leaders  of  adult  dis- 
cussion groups  should  also  find  this 
a  rewarding  film.  In  fact,  this  produc- 
tion should  be  enjoyed  and  understood 
by  persons  from  high  school  through 
college   and   adult  levels.

Appraisal 

People  of  all  ages  should  enjoy 
the  quiet  beauty,  the  allegorical 
charm,  the  quaint  music,  the 
touching  drama  and  the  superb 
camera  work  in  this  Christmas- 
time film.  Combining  the  mysti- 
cal with  the  real,  The  Christmas 
Deer  has  appeal  for  groups  of  all 
ages.  Its  underlying  theme  —  the 
joy  of  giving  —  is  beautifully  and 
convincingly  developed.  The 
symbolical  deer  as  the  Christ- 
mas spirit  captivatingly  con- 
tributes to  the  feeling  of  unreal 
reality.  As  the  introcluctory  nar- 
ration observes,  "This  is  a  film 
for  those  who  can  believe  more 
than  what  they  see."

le  had  two  children  under  16. 
le  may  well  have  settled  here  to 
ngagc  in  expediting  the  traffic 
ver  the  carry. 

A  small  pewter  spoon  and  two 
nail  two-tined  iron  forks,  one  very 
mall  brass  button,  a  child's  slate 
nd  a  slate  pencil  would  seem  to 
liow  that  there  were  children 
resent.  Then  w-e  have  a  couple 
f  brass  thimbles  and  one  piece  of 
;welry  that  indicate  the  presence 
f  a  woman. 

In  1792  a  diary  of  a  well  known 
gure   mentions    taking   refuge   in 

storm  at  this  same  spot  and  being 
iven  lodging  and  food  by  the 
good  widow  X."  \Vc  know  then 
iiat  Mr.  X  died  sometime  between 
790  and  1792.  There  is  also  strong 
iijjport  to  the  supposition  that  he 
las  a  veteran  who  came  through 
lie  Battle  of  Oriskany.  There  is  a 
ague  tradition  that  points  to  an 
ininarked  burial  area  nearby,  bin 

10  one  knows  just  where. 
Documents     say     further      that 

idow  X  stayed  on  at  this  location 
ntil  1805,  when  she  returned  to 
icr  family  further  down  the  Mo- 
lawk  Valley.  Abundant  signs  point 
o  the  fact  that  she  was  burned  out. 
he  appearance  of  so  many  items 

11  one  general  spot,  as  coins  and 
uttons  and  so  many  fragments  of 
xotic  blue  and  white  china  which 
nust  have  been  close  to  her  heart, 
ndicate  that  there  was  no  time 
<)  save  anything. 

The  students  taking  part  in  this 
iroject  were  curious  and  eager  to 
ind  new  things  about  this  site  and 
)  make  their  own  interpretations. 
There  were  hundreds  of  questions, 
uost  of  which  we  felt  could  be 
iiiswered.  They  were  willing  to 
)ut  long  hours  of  hard  physical 
aljor  on  this  problem.  One  boy 
vlio  was  so  handicapped  that  he 
las  to  use  two  crutches  to  move 
ound  an  activity  in  which  he  could 
)articipate.  He  now  thinks  he 
vould  like  to  be  a  history  teacher. 

Not  only  have  the  participants 
II  this  project  helped  to  make  a 
cal  contribution  to  their  com- 
lUMiity,  but  they  have  learned 
■oine  aspects  of  scientific  method 
>f  research,  archaeological  tech- 
liijues,  documentary  investigation, 
tatistical  concejits,  and  to  clarify 
■xisting  interrelationships  in  the 
irea  of  logic. 

Much  of  this  material  has  been 
ised  in  the  teaching  of  logic  in  the 


classroom,  especially  in  the  process 
of  inductive  reasoning.  The  actual 
artifacts  were  used. 

Because  of  the  magnitude  of  this 
project  we  have  not  only  worked 
with  school  people,  but  have  now 
extended  it  to  include  other  inter- 
ested groups  and  individuals.  Both 
civilian  and  military  personnel 
from  (iriffis  Air  Force  Base  have 
joined  us  in  learning  about  our 
history  through  this  project.  A 
healthy  spirit  of  cooperation  has 
developed.  Through  history  we 
have  helped  to  open  our  doors  to 
"strangers." 

Thiough  our  historical  society, 
plans  are  now  being  formulated  to 


bring  more  of  these  elements  to- 
gether for  a  more  thorough  study 
of  the  whole  Oneida  Carry  com- 
plex. 

This  is  not  a  "one  shot"  affair 
to  be  forgotten  when  the  "Year  of 
History"  is  a  matter  of  record.  It 
is  a  project  of  continuing  interest 
for  years  to  come.  Our  history  is 
for  everybody. 

When  all  the  evidence  is  in  and 
our  newly  organized  Fort  Stanwix 
MuseiuTi  is  ready  to  receive  the 
public,  we  plan  to  use  our  mate- 
rials to  show  pioneer  life  at  the 
Great  Carry  with  a  diorama  of  this 
site  and  appropriate  background 
materials  in  relation  to  our  finds.

Transistor  radio  explains  exhibit. 

Peripatetic  Radio  Lecture 

As  a  visitor  to  an  art  gallery  or  other 
exhibit  moves  from  place  to  place,  a 
4-ounce  transistor  radio  hung  around  his 
neck  explains  what  he  sees.  The  mes- 
sage, either  taped  or  oral,  comes  from  a 
private  transmitter  using  different  chan- 
nels for  the  various  parts  of  the  exhibit 
so  the  visitor's  V2 -ounce  headphones 
carry  only  information  that  is  pertinent 
to  his  location.  This  information  comes 
from  an  Eastman  affiliate  that  supplies 
the  raw  material  for  the  radio's  plastic 
housing.  The  system  is  produced  by  Mc- 
intosh LecTour,  Inc.,  1906  M.  St.,  NW, 
Washington  6,  D.C. 

Expanded  Screen   Market 

A  rear-projection  screen  makes  up 
practically  one  whole  wall  in  the  Com- 
mand Conference  Room  at  Headquarters 
Eighth  Air  Force,  Westover,  Mass.  Prin- 
cipal use  is  to  permit  simultaneous  show- 
ing of  two  or  more  still  or  motion 
pictures  to  contrast  old  and  new  phases 
of  subject  under  consideration.  The  I  55 
X  68  inch  Polacoat  conference  screen 
is  made  of  quarter-inch-thick  plastic 
which  effectively  insulates  the  conference 
room  against  all  sound  from  the  projec- 
tors.

50th  entertainment  and  Instructional  pur- 
50ses  on  specially  designed  Radiant  Wall 
icreens  installed  in  the  new  atomic  sub- 
narine  "George  Washington,"  the  first 
luclear-powered  craft  designed  to  fire 
he  Polaris  missile  from  submerged  posi- 
lons  at  sea. 


}rr-Ainpex   Merger 

Orr  Industries,  Inc.,  manufacturers  of 
Irish"  tape,  has  become  a  division  of 
he  Ampex  Corporation.  It  will  continue 
o  operate  at  Opelika,  Alabama,  with  the 
ame  facilities,  management  and  em- 
loyees. 


Walter  Lowendahl,  a  Transfilm  Inc.  ex- 
ecutive for  17  years,  has  joined  Wilding, 
Inc.,  as  an  executive  producer  and  will 
head  up  the  Wilding  eastern  division  In 
New  York. 

4-Track  Stereo 

The  Magnetic  Recording  Industry  has 
adopted  4-track  7  Vi  ips  stereo  tape  as 
standard,  according  to  Ampex  Audio,  and 
several  hundred  new  pre-recorded  re- 
leases are  expected  to  be  on  the  market 
this  fall  priced  at  an  average  of  $7.95. 
The  Ampex  4-track  conversion  kit  at 
$50  includes  installation  at  authorized 
service  centers.  The  Model  900  Ampex 
already  plays  the  new  4-track  as  well  as 
2-track  recordings. 

Universities  Combine 
Film  Service 

The  University  of  Michigan  and  Mich- 
igan State  University  may  be  rivals  on 
the  football  field,  but  their  audiovisual 
centers  work  together.  A  joint  film  cata- 
log makes  some  4,500  motion  pictures 
available  to  schools  throughout  the  state, 
and  films  momentarily  unavailable  from 
one  Institution  are  to  be  furnished  when- 
ever possible  by  the  other.  A  similar  ar- 
rangement prevailed,  if  memory  serves, 
some  35  years  ago  between  the  universi- 
ties of  Kansas  and  Colorado. 

Windowless  Schools 

The  United  States  Air  Force  Academy 
at   Colorado   Springs    is    said    to    blaze    a 


trail  to  the  windowless  schools  of  the  fu- 
ture, a  concept  touched  on  by  editor  Paul 
Reed  in  this  magazine  several  years  ago. 
Architects  claim  to  have  achieved  a  "bal- 
ance In  psychological  effect"  by  lighting 
classrooms  and  study  areas  exclusively  by 
artificial  light,  to  achieve  "cells  of  Con- 
centration." Corridors  and  non-study 
areas  are  along  the  outer  walls,  expan- 
sively  glassed   to   bring   in    the   outdoors. 

Bell   Labs   Make  College  Films 

On  the  advice  of  educators,  the  Bell 
Telephone  Laboratories  have  set  up  a 
Science  Film  Production  Unit  for  the 
primary  purpose  of  making  audiovisuals 
that  college  instructors  can  use  to  com- 
plement their  regular  lectures  in  science 
and  engineering.  Three  motion  pictures, 
two  sound  filmstrlps  and  a  90-minute 
record  album  have  already  been  com- 
pleted.   (See  listings   in   New  Materials)

The  Passing  Parade 

10  years  ago  in  Educational  Screen: 

The  role  of  A-V  in  promoting 
better  understanding  was  stressed 
—  labor- management,  inter-group, 
suburban  film  council.  "Boundary 
Lines"  was  excitingly  new.  Exten- 
sive coverage  of  the  6th  Interna- 
tional Religious  A-V  Workshop  at 
Green  Lake.  Paul  Reed  editorial- 
ized that  "Principles  are  Principles" 
and  that  readers  were  reporting 
high  interest  in  all  phases  of  the 
medium  and  in  all  its  diverse  appli- 
cations. The  first  full-page  tape  re- 
corder ad  appeared  (Brush  "Sound 
Mirror"),  and  EBF  announced  11 
new  films,  Coronet  and  Young 
America  six  each. 

20  years  ago  in  Educational  Screen: 

Two  articles  on  handmade  slides, 
a  college  field  trip,  adult  prefer- 
ences in  film  programs,  an  element- 
ary school  makes  a  movie.  In  his 
"Diversitorials,"  editor  Nelson 
Greene  bows  to  the  popular  de- 
mand that  the  13-year-old  monthly 
(theatrical)  "Film  Estimates"  be

"Though  leaving  Educational 
Screen  &  A-V  Guide  to  return  to 
broader  educational  activities,  ] 
shall  always  treasure  this  audio-vis- 
ual experience— and  especially  the 
opportunity  it  gave  me  to  know 
many  of  the  fine  people  who  read 
and  write  for  this  magazine.  My  re- 
quest that  a  successor  be  found  was 
made  when  the  August  "Blue  Book" 
was  completed.  The  choice  of  Jim 
Cummings,  an  experienced  editor 
on  other  trade  magazines,  is  an  ex- 
cellent one  and  I  know  that  all  fol- 
lowers of  EdScreen  wish  him  well."

New  York  Trade  Show 
Covers  Broad  Field 

"Sound  and  Vision  as  a  Tool,"  the 
theme  of  the  impressive  trade  show 
managed  by  Herbert  Rosen  in  New 
York  City  Sept.  28-Oct.  1,  was  in  fact 
applicable  to  a  considerably  broader 
field  than  just  the  "industrial  film 
and  audio-visual  exhibition"  to  which 
it  was  applied.  The  Metropolitan  New 
York  Audio-Visual  Association,  region- 
al branch  of  DAVI-NEA,  arranged 
four  afternoons  of  child-centered  class- 
room A-V,  daily  demonstrations  of 
closed-circuit  TV,  and  a  panel  session 
chaired  by  Dr.  Irene  F.  Cypher  on 
"Improving  the  Quality  of  Teaching 
Through  Materials." 

Regional  meetings  were  held  also 
by  the  National  Association  of  Educa- 
tional Broadcasters,  the  National 
Visual  Presentation  Association,  and 
the  Industrial  Audio-Visual  Associa- 
tion. There  were  educational  exhibits 
by  the  U.  S.  Naval  Training  Device 
Center,  the  U.  S.  Office  of  Education 
(with  particular  emphasis  on  the  Na- 
tional Defense  Education  Act),  the 
National  Educational  Television  and 
Radio  Center. 

The  more  than  60  commercial  ex- 
hibits from  all  over  the  country  put 
chief  emphasis  on  practical  work-a- 
day  applications  of  their  equipment 
and  materials.  Victor  Animatograph

on  distribution  held  by  Industry  Film  Producers  Association.  Other  panel  members 
include  Dr.  Martin  L.  Klein,  at  left,  of  television's  "Adventure  Tomorrow"  show;

At  the  new  Orchard  Hill  Elementary  School,  Leetonia,  Ohio,  selected  by  A.A.S.A.  for 
its   exhibit   of   outstanding    school    designs,   George   Trombitos,   Assistant    Principal,  says: 


"We're  a  country  school  with  ambitious  ideas  involving  A-V  aids... 
We  can't  tolerate  A-V  equipment  that  requires  frequent  servicing . . . 
Our  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  give  us  no  trouble  at  all. . ." 


"You  don't  have  to  be  a  city  school  to  exploit  the  ad- 
vantages of  audio-visual  methods.  In  fact,  we  feel  our 
expanding  A-V  program  deserves  some  credit  for  our 
students  taking  two  of  the  top  10  honor  awards  in  the 
county — competing  with  city  schools. 

"But  out  here  in  the  country  we  don't  have  the 
quick  repair  service  for  A-V  equipment  that  city 
schools  have.  This  means  we  use  only  equipment  we 
feel  will  withstand  student  operation  without  inter- 
rupting breakdowns." 


One  reason  Kodak  Pageant  16mm  Sound  Projectors 
operate  so  dependably  in  city  or  country  is  that  they 
are  permanently  lubricated  at  the  factory.  They  never 
need  oiling,  eliminate  problems  of  over-or-under  oiling, 
eliminate  oil  record-keeping,  too.  And  the  Pageant 
Projector  is  easy  to  thread  and  operate  .  .  .  even  for 
the  inexperienced  youngster. 

Ask  your  Kodak  A-V  dealer  for  a  complete  Pageant 
demonstration.  Or  write  for  Bulletin  V3-22,  containing 
complete  specifications.  No  obligation,  of  course.

"This  act  by  the  Ford  Foundation 
turns  a  smile  of  withering  irony 
on  its  own  pretensions." 

-  Uncle  Dudley  in  THE 
BOSTON  DAILY  GLOBE 


Paul  C  Reed 


Humanity  Halted 

If  you  don't  read  the  Boston  newspapers,  you  may  not  yet  know 
that  one  of  the  most  significant  film  producing  projects  of  our  time; 
came  to  an  abrupt  halt.  Although  the  twelve  pilot  films  producec 
by  the  Council  have  been  praised  in  the  most  glowing  and  super- 
lative terms  by  all  who  have  seen  them,  and  even  though  the  spon- 
soring Fund  for  the  Advancement  of  Education  of  the  Ford  Foun- 
dation acknowledged  the  productions  as  "superb,"  they  withdrew 
their  support  from  what  was  one  of  the  most  promising  project' 
ever  undertaken. 

It  was  a  sad  story  the  Boston  papers  told  shortly  before  school 
started.  Though  we've  read  nothing  further  about  it  since,  we  can't 
get  it  out  of  our  minds.  The  project  operated  under  the  unlikel> 
title  of  Council  for  a  Television  Course  in  the  Humanities  for  Sec- 
ondary Schools,  Inc.,  but  the  finished  pictures  disclose  in  ever) 
frame  the  high  standards  and  idealism  of  the  Council's  imaginative 
Executive  Director,  Floyd  Rinker,  and  the  thirteen  distinguishec 
and  cultured  members  of  its  Board  of  Directors. 

The  twelve  films  represent  the  pilot  unit,  the  one  on  the  drama 
from  "a  full  year  course  in  the  Humanities  to  replace  the  traditiona 
course  in  11th  grade  English."  When  the  films  were  first  used  or 
educational  television  stations  in  St.  Louis  and  Boston  last  Spring 
the  experiment  was  lauded  by  pupils  and  teachers  alike;  plans  were 
pushed  forward  eagerly  and  enthusiastically  for  finishing  the  series 
Eighty-four  additional  films  were  on  the  schedule  to  complete  thf 
course.  These  would  cover  units  on  literature,  fine  arts,  music,  the 
dance,  etc.  Now  what? 

But  first,  what  happened  to  halt  this  project?  Obviously  thert 
were  differences  of  opinion;  obviously  the  sponsors  changed  theij 
minds.  Actually,  one  of  the  Foundation  officers,  an  originator  oi 
the  Humanities  film  project,  was  killed  in  a  plane  crash  last  year 
Present  officers  have  different  ideas  how  to  make  a  humanitie; 
film  and  for  how  much.  Reports  say  that  they  think  the  humanities 
films  should  be  like  the  science  programs  on  "Continental  Class 
room,"  —  one  teacher  talking.  The  Council  believes  we  have  enougf 
teachers  talking  already.  The  Council  believes  that  when,  for  in- 
stance, the  film  professor  has  a  point  to  emphasize  about  Eliz- 
abethan drama,  that  he  should  be  able  to  call  upon  the  finest  actor; 
available  to  help  him.  That's  why  the  Stratford  Shakespearear 
Players  of  Canada  are  in  these  exceptional  films.  Eminent  pro- 
fessors and  professional  dramatic  artists  collaborate  to  bring  vivic 
and  memorable  audiovisual  experience  to  the  English  classroom 

Floyd  Rinker,  in  his  "postscript"  written  as  his  dream  collapsec 
(or  was  temporarily  interrupted),  epitomized  the  issue  as  the 
significance  of  quality:  "Our  survival  as  a  nation  may  depend  or 
the  quality  of  our  instruction  in  the  sciences.  Our  survival  anc 
growth  as  individuals  depends  upon  the  excellence  of  our  teaching 
in  the  humanities.  For  the  moment,  the  Council  lacks  financial 
support  for  the  quality  of  production  in  which  it  has  operated  an(3 
still  believes.  Surely  the  day  will  dawn  when  the  men  who  wieW 
the  financial  sceptre  for  every  foundation  which  professes  to  sup 
port  American  education  realize  that  in  our  schools  as  in  our  live? 
there  are  more  pertinent  criteria  than  quantity,  economy,  anri 
speed." 

Surely  those  are  brave  words.  We  hope  that  in  this  great  nation 
there  are  those  with  the  means  and  the  minds  to  respond.

instruction. 


EACHING  the  pronunciation  of  unfamiliar 
sounds  has  been  a  major  task  in  all  language 
instruction.  The  most  effective  method,  private 
instruction  by  a  trained  phonetician,  with  the 
use  of  recording  and  listening  devices,  is  obvi- 
ously impossible  in  most  of  our  schools  in  view 
of  the  lack  of  equipment  and  the  size  of  be- 
ginners classes.  Unless  the  instructor  can  afford 
to  pay  the  price  of  spending  considerable  time 
on  the  phonetics  of  the  language  with  a  great 
deal  of  individual  attention  to  the  student's 
personal  phonetic  problems,  the  teaching  of 
pronunciation  in  class  is  usually  limited  to  the 
concert  or  unison  method:  the  instructor  pro- 
nounces the  foreign  sounds,  the  class  listens  and 
imitates  as  a  group.  The  teacher  listens  to  the 
chorus,  and  the  students  in  the  front  row,  or 
those  with  louder  than  average  voices  are  the 
fortunate  ones  who  are  heard  individually  and 
corrected.  The  result  is  the  usual  mediocre  per- 
formance so  familiar  to  all  language  teachers. 

In  the  laboratory  method  the  student  listens 
to  the  foreign  sounds  over  his  earphones  while 
seated  in  a  semisoundproof  booth,  thus  exclud- 
ing most  extraneous  noises.  He  imitates  and  re- 
cords the  new  sounds  simultaneously,  then  re- 
plays to  himself  the  master  voice,  followed  by 
his  own  imitation.  This  practice  gives  the  stu- 
dent an  opportunity  to  compare  his  pronuncia- 
tion of  the  new  sounds  with  that  of  the  master. 
Since  his  recorded  voice  sounds  to  the  student 
the  same  as  it  does  to  others,  wh^ch  is  not  the 
case  in  unrecorded  speech,  he  is)  expected  to 
have  a  sounder  basis  for  self-crititism  and  im- 

t 


provement  when  he  repeats  the  sounds  a  second 
time. 

Testing  the  laboratory  method  experimentally 
in  the  foreign  language  class  is  almost  impossi- 
ble. It  would  require  of  all  participants  an  ab- 
solute unfamiliarity  with  the  new  sounds  and 
it  would  require  of  at  least  half  of  the  testees  a 
thorough  familiarity  with  language  laboratory 
equipment  and  study  methods.  Unless  the  stu- 
dents were  to  be  tested  during  their  first  period 
of  language  instruction,  they  would  have  heard 
some  of  the  new  sounds,  and  the  test  would 
thus  not  be  valid.  If  on  the  other  hand  they 
were  tested  during  the  first  contact  hour,  the 
lab  group  would  as  yet  not  have  mastered  the 
operation  of  the  equipment  and  would  be  still 
unfamiliar  with  lab  practices.  Unless  several 
hours  of  instruction  at  the  beginning  of  the  semes- 
ter were  to  be  sacrificed  to  the  preliminaries,  it 
would  be  impossible  to  carry  out  the  experiment. 
Furthermore,  the  number  of  students  participat- 
ing should  be  large  enough  to  furnish  valid 
results,  yet  small  enough  to  permit  two  voice 
recordings  of  each  student  in  one  hour  plus  the 
necessary  time  for  the  pronunciation  practice. 
Many  students  have  classes  scheduled  in  the 
hour  following  their  language  instruction,  which 
makes  it  iinperative  to  limit  the  testing  to  the 
regular  50-minute  class  period. 

To  find  a  way  out  of  this  impasse,  I  chose  a 
second  semester  German  class,  six  sections  in 
all,  with  an  average  lab  attendance  of  only  15. 
Most  of  these  students  had  used  the  lab  for 
approximately  26  weeks,  a  few  who  had  trans-

iciied  from  other  colleges  for  only  12.  Thus  all 
[xirticipants  were  thoroughly  familiar  with  the 
l;ib  equipment  and  practices.  The  comparatively 
^niall  number  in  the  sections  made  it  possible 
u>  carry  out  the  experiment  in  50  minutes  each. 
However,  instead  of  testing  with  German  sounds, 
which  all  the  subjects  had  heard  during  their 
j26  weeks  or  more  of  study,  the  Dutch  sound  [ei] 
spelled  ei  or  ij,  was  substituted.  This  sound  is 
!alien  to  English,  German,  French  or  Spanish, 
jthe  languages  most  likely  heard  or  studied  by  at 
I  least  some  of  the  students.  The  first  voice  re- 
icording  proved  that  no  subject  had  any  knowl- 
edge of  Dutch. 

In  order  to  avoid  variations  in  the  sound  of 
the  master  voice,  which  might  have  resulted 
from  fatigue  over  a  six-hour  period,  hoarseness, 
iposition  of  the  speaker  in  the  room  and  other 
[physical  aspects,  the  practice  material  for  the 
iexperiment  was  recorded  on  tape  and  a  dubbing 
jvvas  made  of  the  original.  The  practice  tapes  for 
[the  experimental  and  the  control  group  were 
ithus  identical,  except  for  the  instructions  on  the 
critical  feature  of  listening.  While  the  lab  method 
required  the  students  to  rewind,  listen  and  com- 
pare the  recording  of  the  master  tape  with  their 
own,  the  concert  method  group  was  instructed 
to  listen  silently  to  a  replaying  of  the  master 
voice.  It  would  have  been  pointless  to  record  and 
play  back  to  this  group  the  collective  responses; 
furthermore,  it  would  have  violated  the  concert 
method.  No  description  of  the  physiological  basis 
of  the  sound  was  given  to  either  group.  The 
purpose  of  the  experiment  was  merely  to  estab- 
lish whether  the  self-evaluation  possible  in  the 
lab  method  had  a  measurable  advantage  over 
the  concert  method  in  the  learning  of  new 
sounds. 

As  each  of  the  six  classes  appeared  in  the  lab, 
they  were  tested  at  random  by  one  method  or 
the  other.  The  only  consideration  was  to  keep 
the  two  groups  as  even  in  size  as  possible.  Thus 
a  total  of  38  students  were  tested  by  the  lab 
method,  and  49  students  were  tested  by  the  con- 
cert method.  The  tape  for  the  latter  group  was 
played  over  a  15  inch  high  fidelity  loudspeaker 
with  the  sides  of  the  UCLA  language  booths 
in  a  lowered  position  for  regular  classroom  in- 


struction. The  tape  for  the  lab  group  was  heard 
by  each  student  over  his  earphones  while  he 
sat  in  his  booth  with  sides  raised.  Thus  the  true 
conditions  of  the  classroom  and  the  language 
laboratory  response  were  reproduced.  Each  stu- 
dent was  given  a  mimeographed  sheet  containing 
the  Dutch  words: 

Wij,  wij;  zijn,  zijn;  blij,  blij; 

Blijf,  blijf;  bij,  bij;  mij,  mij; 

Wij  zijn  blij;  wij  zijn  blij; 

Blijf  bij  mij;  blijf  bij  mij. 
Before  beginning  the  experiment  the  students 
received  the  following  instructions  by  tape: 
"You  will  hear  a  number  of  short  Dutch  words 
containing  one  sound,  [ei]  which  is  alien  to 
English.  On  the  mimeographed  sheet  you  will 
find  six  Dutch  words  containing  this  sound.  I 
shall  pronounce  each  word  twice,  then  you  re- 
peat the  word  once  in  the  pause."  After  the  stu- 
dents had  listened  to  one  reading  of  these  words 
over  their  earphones  or  the  loudspeaker,  as  the 
respective  method  required,  and  had  repeated 
each  word  once,  they  were  asked  not  to  practice 
but  to  come  to  the  soundproof  recording  booth 
for  a  preliminary  recording  of  the  six  words. 
To  avoid  any  confusion  in  the  sequence  for  the 
purpose  of  seeking  a  later  comparison  of  the 
first  and  second  pronunciation,  each  participant 
first  identified  himself  by  name  before  recording. 
After  the  preliminary  recording  enough  vacant 
tape  was  advanced  to  provide  for  the  second 
version  before  the  machine  was  used  by  the 
next  student.  As  the  first  test  required  approxi- 
mately one  half  minute,  or  ca.  five  digits  on 
the  selection  locator,  the  tape  was  advanced  an- 
other five  digits  for  the  second  pronunciation. 
Thus  the  preliminary  tests  all  started  at  a  deci- 
mal, the  final  recordings  at  a  decimal  plus  five. 
The  use  of  the  soundproof  recording  booth  pre- 
vented the  students  from  hearing  the  pronuncia- 
tion of  their  classmates,  correct  or  incorrect.  To 
prevent  exchange  of  information  an  instructor 
supervised  the  group  waiting  outside  the  record- 
ing booth.  No  practicing  was  permitted. 

For  eacli  group  tested  the  method  used  and 
the  initial  and  final  readings  on  the  selection 
locator  were  recorded  on  paper,  but  neither  the 
method  nor  the  transition  from  one  group  to  an-

Other  was  identified  in  any  manner  on  the  tape. 
Thus  when  the  resuks  were  checked  two  weeks 
after  the  experiment,  the  examiner  did  not 
know  by  which  method  a  student  had  learned 
his  pronunciation.  His  judgment  therefore  could 
not  be  influenced  by  preferences.  The  identifica- 
tion of  the  groups  and  the  tabulation  of  the 
results  were  made  only  when  all  data  had  been 
gathered. 

After  the  first  repetition  of  the  sound  and  the 
first  recording  the  students  returned  to  their 
seats  or  booths.  The  concert  group  practiced  by 
listening  to  the  loudspeaker  and  repeating  in 
unison.  The  lab  group  put  on  their  earphones 
and  practiced  as  described  at  the  outset  of  this 
article.  Each  of  the  six  words  was  heard  twice, 
then  repeated  once.  This  exercise  was  carried  out 
twice.  Then  the  first  three  words  and  the  second 
three  words  were  heard  as  a  sentence,  again 
twice,  with  a  pause  for  repetition.  This  was  re- 
peated three  times.  Thereafter  the  students  in 
the  lab  group  listened  to  their  recording  while 
the  concert  group  listened  once  again  to  the 
master  pronunciation,  without,  however,  repeat- 
ing. The  pauses  after  the  master  pronunciation 
were  retained,  however,  so  that  any  student  could 
repeat  silently  to  himself,  if  he  so  desired. 

After  the  lab  group  had  listened  and  com- 
pared, and  their  counterparts  had  listened  si- 
lently, the  listen-and-repeat  practice  was  done 
once  more,  this  time  without  another  listen  pe- 
riod, or  listen-and-compare  period.  Each  student 
then  recorded  his  pronunciation  of  the  sounds 
once  more  in  the  same  sequence  as  before. 

The  preliminary  recording  indicated  the  dif- 
ferent degrees  of  imitative  phonetic  ability  of 
the  subjects.  As  was  expected,  some  were  almost 
tongue-tied,  other  attempted  to  read  the  words 
like  English  syllables,  sounding  the  final  letter 
in  ij  like  the  English  j  in  journal,  still  others 
substituted  what  they  considered  die  closest  Eng- 


lish sounds,  [ai]  as  in  fly  or  [ei]  as  in  ale.  Bui 
in  each  group  there  were  also  some  who  obvi 
ously  possessed  good  imitative  ability  and  pro 
nounced  the  sound  correctly  from  1  to  5  times 
Of  a  possible  total  of  228  correct  responses  ir 
the  lab  group  (38x6),  two  standard  pronuncia 
tions  were  heard  during  the  preliminary  record 
ing,  whereas  the  concert  group,  with  a  possible 
total  of  294  points  (49x6),  recorded  32  accuratt 
responses.  In  the  latter  group  14  students  pro 
nounced  the  sound  [ei]  correctly  in  from  1  to  ! 
words,  in  the  former  group  only  two  testees  ir 
one  word  each.  The  first  recording  thus  revealec 
that  the  chorus  group  in  comparison  to  the  lal 
group  had  seven  times  more  students  with  ap 
parent  phonetic  capacity  of  various  degrees  anc 
16  times  more  correct  responses. 

The  next  step  was  to  determine  by  which, 
method  pronunciation  could  be  taught  morf 
effectively.  Knowing  the  number  of  students  witl 
apparent  phonetic  capacity  in  each  group  and  the 
mean  of  their  correct  responses  (2  and  1  for  thf 
lab  group,  14  and  2.28  for  the  concert  group) 
the  experiment's  portent  was  to  establish  the 
rate  of  improvement  by  comparing  the  final 
results  with  the  preliminary  tests.  By  subtracting 
the  initial  score  of  accurate  responses  from  the 
final  one,  the  percentage  of  improvement  foi 
each  group  could  be  ascertained. 

The  final  score  of  the  concert  group  was  49, 
or  an  improvement  of  53.1%.  The  number  ol 
students  with  from  1  to  6  correct  responses  in 
creased  from  14  to  16,  or  14.2%.  This  compare<i 
with  22  accurate  responses  for  the  lab  group 
or  1000%  improvement,  and  an  increase  from 
2  to  10  students,  or  400%,  with  from  1  to  5  cor 
rect  responses.  The  mean  factor  of  learning  foi 
each  student  was  0.52  in  the  lab  group  and  0.34 
in  the  concert  sections.  Five  of  the  14  students  in 
the  concert  group  had  either  completely  or  par 
tially  unlearned  their  initial  correct  response; 
compared  to  two  in  the  lab  group.  Yet  despite 
the  obviously  smaller  linguistic  capacity  of  the 
latter,  their  pronunciation  revealed  both  in  ac 
tual  numbers  of  correct  responses  and  percentage- 
wise a  considerably  greater  gain  than  that  of  the 
concert  group.  Of  the  17  additional  points  col 
lected  by  the  concert  group,  nine  were  added  by 
those  scoring  in  the  first  recording,  while  seven 
points  were  lost  by  5  original  scorers.  The  othei 
15  points  were  gained  by  six  new  members.  In 
the  lab  group  22  points  were  added  by  10  new 
scorers,  but  the  two  original  scorers  lost  their 
two  points.  If  we  disregard  those  who  scored 
both  times,  we  find  that  in  the  concert  group 
out  of  39  students  6  persons  learned  to  pronounce 
the  Dutch  sound  with  a  total  score  of  15  points,

.liile  in  the  lab  group  10  out  of  a  total  of  38 
indents  received  a  score  of  22  points.  Accord- 
ingly the  pure  mechanics  of  the  lab  method  seem 
)  be  50%  more  effective  in  teaching  pronuncia- 
II >n  than  those  of  the  concert  methocl.  The  num- 
K  r  of  correct  responses  per  learner  was  almost 
like,  i.e.,  2.2  for  the  former  and  2.5  for  the 
liter. 

The  fact  that  5  of  the  original  scorers  in  the 
oiicert  group  lost  their  points  compared  to  two 
II  the  lab  group  points  out  the  major  drawback 
il  the  method,  namely  the  effect  of  mispronun- 
iition  by  the  linguistically  less  capable  on  their 
nore  fortunate  classmates.  Two  of  the  five  orig- 
ii;il  scorers  had  received  2  points  each;  they 
ost  both.  The  other  three  lost  one  point  a  piece. 
)iie  of  these,  however,  had  had  an  original 
(Die  of  4  (1). 

The  percentages  obtained  in  this  experiment 
•  mnot   be  considered   final   in   an   appraisal   of 
III-  two  methods.  For  a  final  appraisal  a  greater 
ininber  of  students  must  be  tested.  But  the  con- 
]\iently  greater  level  of  improvement  by  the  lab 
iittliocl  may  be  ascribed  in  part  to  the  lack  of 
iiiirference  from  mispronunciation  which  is  al- 
ii ist  a  natural  concomitant  of  the  concert  meth- 
II I.    Students  with  greater  auditory  perceptibil- 
i\   and  imitative  phonetic  ability  are  obviously 
iiipeded  in  their  learning  by  the  pejorative  effect 
I    the  majority's  mispronunciation. 
While  the  lab  method  is  evidently  superior  to 
he  concert  method,  the  experiment  also  proved 
I  hat  a  sizable  group  of  students,  in  our  case  al- 
iiost  30%,  could  learn  new  sounds,  after  a  very 
united  practice,  without  an  explanation  of  their 
liNsiological   basis,   by   simple   imitation.   Since 
jiiDUunciation   is  a   skill,   it  must  be   practiced 
1)\    imitation   until   the   new   sounds  have   been 
mistered.  Can  this  be  achieved  in  the  classroom 
Mily?   Very   inefficiently.   The   individual    is   af- 
Icdcd  by  his   neighbor's   attempts,   the  capable 
^tntlent  unlearns  his  initially  correct  pronuncia- 
linn,  and  the  few  who  have  already  mastered 
1' ■  new  sounds  become  bored.  The  classroom 
iefinitely  not  the  place  to  practice  pronuncia- 
II in,  just  as  little  as  a  general  rehearsal  on  the 
oncert  stage  will  perfect  the  musician  who  fails 
iij  practice  systematically  in  private.  Practice  at 
home?  How  can  anyone  be  expected  to  reproduce 
I  new  sound  correctly  when  no  source  for  imita- 
'ioii    is   available?   The   music   studeHt   has   his 
ll^t^uments,  the  science  student  his  slide  rule, 
iiKTOScope,   drafting  board,   compass,   etc.,    and 
■\rii    the   physical   education    major   his   equip- 


ment. Is  the  language  student  then  to  practice 
his  skill  without  any  tools?  This  situation  was 
defensible  only  as  long  as  no  inexpensive  sound 
recording  and  reproducing  equipment  was  ob- 
tainable. Language  teaching,  however,  has  ar- 
rived at  a  point  where  students  can  acquire  an 
inexpensive  aid.  Most  students,  whether  at  home 
or  away  from  home,  possess  a  radio.  Those  who 
live  at  home  generally  have  multiple-speed  rec- 
ord players  at  their  disposal,  some  even  have 
tape  recorders.  While  the  practice  of  pronuncia- 
tion is  most  successful  under  supervision  in  a 
language  laboratory,  the  second  best  choice  is 
the  privacy  of  one's  room  with  a  source  of  sound" 
for  imitation.  The  school  without  a  language 
laboratory  should  require  each  beginning  stu- 
dent to  acquire  at  least  one  pronunciation  record 
for  practice  purposes  at  home.  There  are  at  pres- 
ent inexpensive  45  RPM  language  records  on  the 
market,  and  it  can  scarcely  be  considered  a  hard- 
ship to  request  students  to  purchase  one  of  these. 
Since  nearly  all  students  who  live  at  home  enjoy 
the  use  of  a, multiple-speed  record  player,  the  few 
who  do  not,  might  be  expected  to  rent  or  pur- 
chase one.  A  45  RPM  record  player,  e.g.,  has 
sufficient  fidelity  and  playing  time  to  be  very 
useful  in  language  work.  It  is  light  and  small 
enough  to  be  transported  easily.  Furthermore,  it 
is  low  enough  in  price  to  permit  every  student 
to  own  one,  new  or  used,  if  he  really  wants  to. 
Then  in  the  privacy  of  his  room,  the  student 
can  learn  to  pronounce  the  new  sounds  without 
the  hazards  of  unison  interference.  The  teacher 
can  then  check  the  student's  efforts  in  the  class- 
room or  in  his  office  and  provide  correction  and 
guidance.  Thus  it  will  be  possible  to  put  the 
practice  of  pronunciation  where  it  belongs,  into 
the  study  period  at  home.  The  advantages  gained 
from  good  pronunciation  will  readily  be  trans- 
lated into  better  reading,  greater  oral  fluency  and 
a  sense  of  accomplishment  by  the  student.  If  the 
material  on  the  records  is  well  chosen,  their  use 
will  create  the  atmosphere  of  a  living  language 
with  its  beneficial  effects.  By  auditory  perception 
and  oral  practice  foreign  sounds  and  phrases  will 
be  learned,  and  the  never-tiring  mechanism  will 
urge  the  student  on,  at  the  same  time  furnishing 
him  a  measure  of  his  accomplishments.  Thus  the 
language  student  should  be  able  to  acquire  a 
creditable  pronunciation  with  the  use  of  records 
for  practice  at  home  and  the  aid  and  supervision 
of  his  teacher  in  school,  without  the  use  of  an 
elaborate  language  laboratory  and  with  an  avoid- 
ance of  the  pitfalls  of  the  concert  method.

Testing  of  audio  equipment.  Frequency  response  test  is  di-scribed  below.

FREQUENCY   IN  CYCLFE  PFR  SECOND 


True  Audio  Reproduction 


X  HE  nationwide  interest  in  modern  foreign 
language  laboratories  places  increased  emphasis 
on  the  audio  portion  of  the  role  of  the  audio- 
visual coordinator.  New  demands  are  made  on 
equipment;  in  turn,  new  demands  are  made  on 
the  coordinator. 

As  an  audio-visual  coordinator,  you  must  not 
only  be  an  expert  in  the  content  of  films  and  the 
quality  of  viewing  equipment,  but  now  you  must 


I 


become  familiar  with  the  characteristics  of  audio ' 
equipment.  You  may  be  asked  to  recommend 
equipment  which  will  meet  specific  needs.  You 
may  have  to  determine  why  other  equipment 
falls  short  of  the  role  it  was  intended  to  fill. 

All   audio   equipment   likely  to   be   used   in  ■ 
schools  and  churches  attempts  to  reproduce  the 
music  or  speech   that  constitutes   the  program 
source.  The  word  "reproduce"  can  be  qualified 
by  either  "faithfully"  or  "adequately." 


592 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1959 


Faithful  reproduction  can  be  said  to  occur  if  a 
3lindfoIded  person  were  exposed  alternately  to  a 
live  source  of  sound  and  to  a  reproduction  of  the 
same  sound  and  could  not  differentiate  between 
hem.  He  would  be  hearing  the  audio  frequen- 
cies exactly  the  same  in  each  case  and  without 
any  change  or  distortion  being  introduced  by  the 
ludio  equipment  during  its  performance. 

As  you  know,  the  audible  range  of  frequencies 
is  often  given  as  16  cycles  per  second  to  20,000 
cycles  per  second.  Many  people  do  not  fit  these 
limits;  their  hearing,  especially  at  the  upper  limit, 
is  somewhat  short  or  somewhat  beyond. 

Human  speech  occupies  only  a  portion  of  this 
pectrum,  however.  It  covers  roughly  100  to  8,000 
cycles  per  second.  It  is  not  necessary  to  repro- 
duce all  of  the  speech  range  for  intelligibility  for 
certain  purposes.  A  telephone  circuit  can  do  an 
adequate  job  with  a  frequency  range  of  only 
300  to  3,300  cycles  per  second. 

Also,  a  portable  announcing  system  may  elimi- 
nate the  low  speech  frequencies,  as  these  fre- 
quencies are  not  essential  to  this  type  of  com- 
munication. The  power  that  would  have  been 
used  for  the  eliminated  low  frequencies  is  used 
for  the  frequencies  that  are  transmitted.  Thus 
the  result  is  increased  power  output  through  the 
elimination  of  unnecessary  frequencies. 

Unfortunately,  restriction  of  the  frequency 
range  is  not  the  best  course  for  all  applications. 
To  understand  this  it  is  necessary  to  recall  that 
notes  of  musical  instruments  and  sounds  in 
speech  are  quite  complex.  Each  note  or  sound 
consists  not  only  of  a  fundamental  frequency  but 
also  of  harmonics.  Harmonics,  or  overtones,  are 
integral  multiples  of  their  particular  fundamental 
frequency.  The  number  and  relative  amplitude 
of  harmonics  give  each  musical  instrument  its 
distinctive  character  even  though  it  is  sounding 
the  same  note  as  another  instrument. 

Since  a  sound  is  composed  of  a  fundamental 
frequency  and  its  harmonics,  equipment  must  be 
capable  of  reproducing  the  harmonics  as  well  as 
the  fundamental  frequency  if  you  need  complete 
fidehty  of  reproduction  for  your  purpose. 

Language  laboratory  work  makes  such  a  de- 
mand. An  adequacy  sufficient  only  for  communi- 
cation in  the  native  tongue  of  the  listener  is  not 
enough.  To  teach  a  new  language  to  a  student  by 
the  aural-oral  method  it  is  necessary  for  the 
teacher  to  produce  and  for  the  student  to  hear  the 
sounds  of  all  the  vowels,  diphthongs,  and  con- 
sonants. This  process  automatically  occurs  in  a 
live  teacher-student  performance  without  the  use 
of  electronic  equipment.  If  electronic  equipment 
is  used,  the  sounds  must  be  reproduced  faithfully 
or  the  student  will  be  given  altered  and  untrue 
sounds.  The  student  is  then  placed  in  the  position 
of  having  to  imitate  an  incorrect  sound. 

Sounds  heard  by  the  student  should  evoke  the 
proper  control  of  the  column  of  air  by  the  larynx, 
tongue,  oral  muscles,  teeth,  and  lips.  This  is  es- 
sentially an  imitative  process  but  it  is  rendered 
more  difficult  when  the  student  cannot  see  the 
sound  being  produced  by  the  teacher  but  must 
visualize  it  from  the  evidence  presented  to  him 
by  the  audio  equipment.  The  sound  must  be  com- 
plete and  accurate  in  order  to  aid  the  student  in 
the  imitation  of  the  proper  control  of  the  air  col- 
umn. 


These  language  laboratory  requirements  ne- 
cessitate faithful  reproduction  of  at  least  the 
speech  range  of  100  to  8,000  cycles  per  second 
and  possibly  beyond  8,000  cycles  to  the  upper 
hearing  limit.  It  will  be  interesting  to  watch  de- 
velopments in  this  field  to  see  what  standards 
will  be  set.  You,  as  an  evaluator  and  purchaser 
of  audio  equipment,  are  an  important  factor  in 
helping  to  determine  those  standards. 

The  evaluation  of  audio  equipment  by  a  blind- 
folded person  as  mentioned  before  is  unfortu- 
nately too  subjective.  Fortimately,  there  are 
certain  objective  electronic  tests  that  can  be 
performed  on  audio  equipment. 

One  of  the  most  important  tests  is  that  of  fre- 
quency response:  how  well  does  the  system  re- 
produce all  frequencies  presented  to  it  without 
undesirably  accentuating  some  frequencies  or 
attenuating  others.  Some  units  of  an  overall  sys- 
tem may  purposely  boost  or  drop  certain  fre- 
quencies in  order  to  equalize  an  unavoidably 
poor  response  of  another  unit  in  the  system. 

Frequency  response  is  best  shown  graphically. 
If  you  examine  a  frequency-response  curve  (see 
graph )  you  will  see  that  the  chart  has  frequency 
plotted  on  the  logarithmically-ruled  horizontal 
scale;  the  response  of  the  equipment  is  read  on 
the  arithmetically-ruled  vertical  scale.  Frequency 
is  expressed  in  cycles  per  second;  response  is  in 
decibels. 

A  decibel  (db.)  is  not  a  unit  of  absolute  meas- 
urement but  is  a  relative  unit.  It  is  used  in  this 
application  to  logarithmically  express  the  ratio 
between  the  output  level  at  any  given  frequency 
to  the  output  level  at  the  reference  frequency. 

Decibels  are  useful  for  this  purpose  as  the  hu- 
man ear  responds  to  a  change  in  power  on  a 
logarithmic  basis.  The  intensity  level  must  change 
one  or  two  decibels  before  the  change  is  appar- 
ent to  the  average  person. 

A  frequency-response  curve  is  plotted  by  feed- 
ing in  a  signal  to  the  system  or  iinit  under  test 
at  a  reference  frequency  (400  or  usually  1000 
c.p.s. )  and  calling  the  resultant  output  zero  db. 
on  the  chart.  Other  frequencies  are  fed  in  at  the 
same  input  intensity  and  the  resultant  output 
levels  are  expressed  as  decibels  and  marked  on 
the  chart.  Connecting  the  points  with  a  line  will 
result  in  a  frequency-response  curve. 

A  manufacturer  may  not  display  the  frequency 
response  on  a  graph  but  may  state  it  numerically; 
e.g.,  "20  to  20,000  c.p.s."  This  is  not  of  much  use 
to  you  as  you  do  not  know  the  relative  intensity 
throughout  that  range.  Somewhat  better  is  the 
practice  of  stating,  say,  "plus  or  minus  two  db. 
from  20  to  20,000  c.p.s."  This  last  procedure  is 
still  not  as  revealing  as  a  frequency-response 
curve. 

By  making  a  habit  of  studying  any  frequency- 
response  curve  you  encounter,  you  will  become 
more  familiar  with  them  and  their  uses. 

While  you  will  probably  use  frequency  re- 
sponse as  the  first  criterion,  you  must  also  use 
other  measurements  in  evaluating  audio  equip- 
ment. However,  unless  you  find  that  the  desired 
frequency  range  is  covered,  you  usually  will  not 
consider  further.

Big  Classes  in  Texas 


by    William    O.    Nesbitt 


T, 


HE  Snyder  project  is  an  organized,  creative 
search  for  new  ways  of  increasing  the  quantity 
of  learning  and  the  quality  of  teaching  in  the 
secondary  school.  It  proposes  to  test  the  hypoth- 
esis that  teaching  the  same  students  in  large 
groups  (70-100)  part  of  the  time  and  in  small 
groups  (12-15)  and  individually  the  remainder 
of  the  time  is  more  economical  of  both  money 
and  teacher  time  and  more  productive  educa- 
tionally than  the  methods  usually  associated 
with  teaching  classes  of  25  or  30.  Use  is  being 
made  of  closed-circuit  TV,  radio,  tape  recorders, 
and  overviewers  with  teacher-made  visuals. 

Although  the  project  deals  with  new  ap- 
proaches to  teaching  and  learning,  the  subject 
matter  involved  is  not  experimental.  Teachers 
of  idetitical  stibjects  have  been  scheduled  to  meet 
classes  at  the  same  periods  so  they  can  work  as 
teams  in  planning  and  teaching.  Each  teacher 
has  the  usual  teaching  load;  however  provision 
has  been  made  for  clerical  assistance,  special 
aids,  and  intensive  supervision.  The  experiment 
is  operating  within  a  traditional  framework. 


o. 


'NE  is  to  be  cautioned  against  hoping  to 
achieve  comparable  results  in  any  isolated  as- 
pect of  this  project  without  supplying  all  the 
criteria  that  went  into  the  making  of  its  success. 
For  example,  it  would  be  foolish  to  think  that 
a  teacher-team  could  produce  as  much  profes- 
sional planning  and  materials  without  the  neces- 
sary clerical  assistance,  material  aids,  team 
planning  time  as  provided  by  proper  scheduling, 
and  close  supervision  and  encouragement.  Also, 
it  would  be  unusual  for  a  group  of  teachers  to 
maintain  the  extremely  high  level  of  morale  and 
interest  found  among  teachers  in  the  Snyder 
project  without  providing  for  the  removal  of  the 
deadening  and  energy-consuming  non-profes- 
sional activities  traditionally  assigned  to  teachers. 
Likewise,  it  is  useless  to  hope  that  increased 
numbers  of  students  can  be  assigned  to  a  teacher 
without  harming  the  instructional  program  un- 
less all  the  factors  that  permit  such  an  increase 
are  present. 

The  teacher-team  idea  as  applied  in  the 
Snyder  Project  involves  three  teams  of  two 
teachers  each  —  general  science,  biology,  and 
eighth  grade  English  (grammar,  reading,  and 
spelling).  Combined  with  ten  hours  of  clerical 
assistance  per  week  per  teacher  and  with  a 
schedule  that  permits  assembling  students  in 
large  or  small  classes,  this  idea  has  a  number  of 
advantages  over  having  each  teacher  work  in 
isolation: 


1.  Each  teacher  is  enabled  to  specialize  on  thi 
part  of  the  content  which  he  knows  and  teache 
best.  The  two  teachers  are  scheduled  at  th( 
same  period  so  that  when  the  portion  of  con 
tent  that  one  of  them  handles  best  is  beini 
treated,  he  can  take  both  classes.  Thus,  th( 
pupils  profit  from  more  superior  teaching  undo 
this  plan  of  specialization. 

2.  During  a  given  week  each  teacher's  daih 
load  in  terms  of  classroom  hours  is  reduced  b^ 
the  number  of  times  the  other  member  of  th« 
team  meets  with  both  classes  in  a  large  grouj 
session.  This  occurs  about  twice  a  week,  anc 
this  time  added  to  the  regular  team  planning 
time  provided  in  the  daily  schedule  gives  tht 
relieved  member  of  the  teacher-team  opportunity 
to  prepare  more  carefully  for  his  own  presenta 
tions.  It  would  be  difficult  to  over-emphasize 
the  importance  of  this,  because  during  a  crowded 
week  many  teachers  simply  do  not  have  time  tc 
prepare  their  daily  presentations  adequatel) 
even  though  they  may  have  taught  a  numbei 
of  years.  \ 

3.  The  regularly  scheduled  open  time  each 
day  at  the  same  hour  for  the  two  members  of 
the  team  enables  them  to  work  together,  en- 
riching each  other's  ideas  and  combining  the 
materials  developed  by  both  to  the  profit  of  the 
class.  The  one-to-one  relationship  that  develops 
between  the  two  teachers  makes  pre-planning 
a  pleasant  necessity  that  leads  them  into  extra 
hours  of  productive  work.  Teaching  can  be  a 
lonely  business,  but  when  just  one  other  person 
shares  your  enthusiasm  and  purpose  it  becomes 
the  thrilling  business  it  ought  to  be. 

4.  By  providing  large  classes  once  or  twice 
a  week  at  the  desire  of  the  teacher-team,  the  plan 
enables  all  pupils  to  get  the  basic  essentials, 
which  can  be  given  to  large  groups.  The  large 
group  sessions  are  followed  by  small  groups  and 
individual  concentration,  as  well  as  by  meetings 
of  groups  of  the  ordinary  size.  This  provides 
the  teacher  with  the  long-denied  opportunity  to 
fulfill  the  responsibility  of  meeting  individual 
differences  among  students,  due  to  a  flexible 
and  dynamic  grouping  of  students.  Teachers 
think  in  terms  of  "our  students"  rather  than 
"my   class." 

5.  When  one  young  teacher  is  placed  with  an 
experienced  teacher  on  the  same  team,  he  ex- 
periences unusual  professional  growth  during 
the  first  year  rather  than  being  forced  to  fumble 
around  at  the  outset  however  well  he  might 
have  been  trained  in  college.  Conversely,  new 
teachers  frequently  have  new  data  and  ideas  wel- 
comed by  the  more  experienced  team  member. 
Team-teaching  deserves  much   consideration  as

technique  for  in-service  growth  of  teachers  both 
experienced  and  inexperienced. 

().  The  morale  that  is  generated  in  each  team, 
and  the  professional  enthusiasm  that  comes  along 
with  it,  is  considerably  higher  than  that  one 
iirdinarily  observes  in  the  typical  classroom  or 
in  talking  with  teachers  who  are  not  on  teams. 

7.  Teacher-teams  encourage  the  solution  of 
problems  due  to  cooperative  effort. 

8.  It  should  be  said  that  some  people  just  do 
not  want  to  work  in  teams  with  others.  They 
have  their  own  personal  reasons  for  this,  and 
those  reasons  should  be  honored. 

One  of  the  most  significant  features  of  the 
Snyder  Project  is  the  use  of  clerical  and  secre- 
tarial aides  to  relieve  teachers  of  many  sub- 
professional  activities.  These  aides  come  from 
the  ranks  of  housewives  who  can  use  a  typewriter 
and  perform  the  usual  routine  office-type  work. 
They  have  proved  to  be  very  competent,  and, 
like  the  teachers  in  the  project,  they  have  de- 
veloped a  high  level  of  interest  in  the  progress 
of  the  project. 

I'he  use  of  teacher  aides  saves  tax  money.  A 
simple  problem  in  arithmetic  makes  this  point 
clear: 

a.  Ordinarily,  a  teacher  meets  about  125  pupils 
in  her  five  classes  per  day. 

b.  With  ten  hours  of  clerical  help  per  week, 
each  teacher  can  take  care  of  five  more  pupils 
per  class,  or  twenty-five  per  day,  with  the  same 


or  even  less  effort. 

c.  One  clerical  aide  on  a  forty-hour  week 
can  serve  four  teachers,  thus  enabling  the  four 
teachers  to  take  care  of  100  more  pupils  per  day. 

d.  The  100  additional  pupils  cared  for  by  the 
four  teachers  make  4/5  of  the  125  pupils  met 
daily  by  teachers  in  the  ordinary  classroom.  This 
means  a  saving  of  an  amount  equal  to  4/5  of 
one  teacher's  salary. 

e.  If  the  average  salary  is  |4,500  a  year,  this 
means  a  saving  of  $3,600. 

f.  Clerical  aides  are  paid  $1,800  in  Snyder, 
or  1/2  of  the  $3,600.  Thus,  the  remaining  $1,800 
is  saved  by  providing  one  full-time  secretary  for 
four  teachers  at  10  hours  per  week  per  teacher. 

Any  Board  of  Education  interested  in  saving 
tax  money  should  give  careful  consideration  to 
providing  clerical  aides  to  all  teachers  who  de- 
sire to  use  them  on  this  basis.  Since  each  teacher 
requires  only  ten  hours  of  assistance  per  week, 
tlie  supply  of  persons  from  which  to  choose  aides 
is  greatly  increased  without  loss  of  efficiency.  A 
great  number  of  housewives  want  to  work  only 
ten  hours  per  week,  and  this  allows  all  of  her 
time   to   be  consumed  by  one   teacher. 

Whether  or  not  a  clerical  aide  is  used  should 
be  the  choice  of  the  teacher.  Many  teachers 
prefer  to  do  all  the  tasks  that  are  customarily 
necessary  rather  than  being  relieved  of  the  cler- 
ical work  involved  in  many  of  them. 

Modern  communication  devices  coupled  with

proper  scheduling  and  assistance  enable  teacher- 
teams  to  teach  agreed-upon  material  to  larger 
than  usual  classes  in  a  most  effective  manner. 
When  teacher  time  and  initial  cost  are  con- 
sidered, however,  the  latest  audiovisual  aids  are 
more  adaptable  to  large  group  instruction  at 
this  stage.  This  is  not  to  say  that  the  only  thing 
a  teacher  of  the  usual  size  class  needs  is  a  black- 
board and  a  piece  of  chalk.  On  tfie  contrary, 
even  though  this  following  comments  and  ob- 
servations deal  largely  with  the  place  of  tele- 
vision, the  overhead  projector,  and  the  tape  re- 
corder in  large  group  instruction,  the  implication 
is  that  the  teacher  of  the  usual  size  class  can 
also  make  excellent  use  of  them— and  at  a  reason- 
able cost. 

1.  The  TV  camera  projects  small  objects  and 
microscopic  materials  magnified  many  time  to 
any  size  group  so  that  each  student  sees  in  large 
scale  precisely  what  he  is  supposed  to  see,  and, 
therefore,  often  understands  it  better  than  when 
an  individual  microscope  is  used. 

2.  Fundamental  material  is  presented  to  large 
groups  more  vividly  than  it  is  usually  presented 
in  small  groups  in  the  ordinary  classroom. 

3.  There  is  no  problem  of  discipline  in  the 
large  classes  since  there  is  a  much  higher  degree 
of  student  interest  than  is  generally  found  in 
classrooms. 

4.  Teachers  conserve  energy  while  improving 
instruction  when  modern  communication  devices 
as  well  as  the  conditions  enhancing  their  use  are 
present. 

5.  Drill  becomes  more  intense  and  absorbing 
because  the  mnemonic  devices  are  ingenious, 
imaginative,  and  effective. 

6.  The  overhead  projector  allows  for  time- 
saving,  effective,  graphic  presentation  in  such 
a  way  that  any  desired  degree  of  contact  be- 
tween students  and  teacher  can  still  be  main- 
tained. 

7.  The  overhead  projector  enables  the  teacher 
to  face  the  class  while  presenting  material  that 
has  formerly  been  presented  on  the  blackboard 
with  much  less  effectiveness. 

8.  Students  seem  to  feel  the  need  for  paying 
closer  attention  when  electronic  and  mechanical 
aids  are  used. 

9.  Lesson  plans  have  taken  a  new  look  in 
Snyder.  Teacher-teams  have  turned  to  a  pocket 
chart  for  organization  and  to  a  series  of  slides 
of  their  own  design  for  the  overhead  projector 
for  presenting  basic  materials.  The  chart  con- 
tains thirty-six  pockets  separated  into  the  four 
nine-week  periods  of  the  school  year.  Each 
pocket  holds  cards  with  notations  about  lessons 
planned  by  the  teacher-team  for  each  week. 
Colored  slips  suggest  gprouping  arrangements, 
teaching  techniques,  instructional  materials,  and 
evaluative  devices. 

10.  The  overhead  projector  allows  the  teacher 
to  develop  a  whole  series  of  ideas  in  the  form 
of  slides  and  overlays.  Thus,  the  basic  idea  is 
on  the  first  slide,  the  second  can  be  added  by 
flipping  on  an  overlay,  the  third  by  a  similar 
process,  and  so  on.  The  sequence  can  then  be 
reviewed  immediately. 

More  than  500  slides  have  been  created  and 
prepared  in  one  year.  Many  of  these  show  great 
creativity  and  artistry  on  the  part  of  those  who 
made  them. 


1 1 .  The  use  of  color  in  the  material  projected 
by  the  over-viewer  is  of  significant  value. 

12.  Evaluation  of  learning  is  done  efficientl 
and  effectively  with  the  aid  of  modern  material 
of  learning. 

13.  What  has  been  said  about  the  closed-cii*^ 
cuit  TV  and  the  overhead  projector  applie 
equally  well  to  the  tape-recorder.  The  recordei 
as  well  as  the  overview  machine,  has  been  usei 
with  considerable  skill  in  the  Spanish  classes  ii 
Snyder.  The  more  proficient  students  use  tap 
recordings  which  the  teacher  has  developed 
and  the  less  proficient  receive  special  drill  aiu 
personal  attention  by  the  teacher  during  th 
same  period. 

14.  The  statistical  results  in  all  classes  tha 
have  used  one  or  more  of  these  instrument 
show  in  all  cases  that  the  pupils  are  learnif 
as  much  as  they  formerly  did,  and  in  many  ca 
the  results  show  superior  learning  to  that  whi<i 
formerly  prevailed. 

The  completed  statistical  analysis  for  1957 
indicates  that  (within  limits)  the  amount  ■ 
learning  as  measured  by  standardized  tests  tlia 
takes  place  in  a  classroom  is  not  affected  by  thi 
number  of  students  present.  Our  study  deal 
with  groups  of  20  to  90  meeting  every  day  ii 
the  school  week.  After  paying  clerical  aide 
this  amounted  to  a  saving  of  $11,417.00  in  sal 
aries  last  year. 

Equipment  purchased  for  the  experiment  ha 
a  life  of  7  to  10  years;  however,  if  we  wishec 
to  continue  operating  as  we  did  last  year  ii 
could  be  amortized  over  a  3  year  period  without 
showing  a  financial  loss  in  any  one  year. 

In  addition,  if  we  were  interested  only  in  sav 
ing  money,  we  could  eliminate  the  control 
groups,  forget  about  substitute  teacher  salaries 
involve  a  large  percentage  of  teachers  in  the 
system,  and  effect  a  saving  far  in  excess  ol 
$11,417.00.  However,  this  approach  is  too  short 
sighted  to  be  recommended  by  Staff  Utilization j 
personnel. 

The  professional  teacher  looks  at  more  than 
the  cost  of  instruction  in  terms  of  money.  We 
learned  last  year  that  there  were  some  things 
we  could  do  better  in  large  groups  than  in  small 
ones.  'There  are  other  things  which  require  re 
grouping  of  students. 

Moreover,  tentative  figures  in  the  1958-59  ex 
perimental  project  indicate  that  if  teachers  were 
willing  to  accept  three  or  four  additional  stu- 
dents in  each  of  their  classrooms  they  could  be 
supplied  10  hours  of  clerical  assistance  per  week 
at  no  additional  cost.  This,  mind  you,  is  true 
even  with  the  set-up  that  now  exists  in  Snyder 
High  School. 

Thus,  if  cost  is  the  only  consideration,  then 
the  pathway  opened  by  the  Snyder  Staff  Utiliza- 
tion Project  is  one  way  to  operate  a  school  system 
as  well  as  it  has  been  operated  in  the  past  and 
at  the  same  time  reduce  instructional  costs.  Other 
techniques  (such  as,  cutting  out  needed  in- 
structional supplies,  adding  more  students  to 
classrooms  without  providing  the  accompanying 
plan  to  guard  against  the  loss  of  instructional 
efficiency,  and  simply  trying  to  "hold  the  line" 
without  proper  help  being  provided  to  teachers) 
are  bound  to  fail  in  the  face  of  increased  costs 
of  material  and  people  and  the  anticipated  in- 
crease  in   enrollment.

Your  Own  A-V  Center 


by    Curtis  F.  Brown 


JL  ERHAPS  all  A-V  building  coordinators  ap- 
[)rcciate  the  value  and  importance  of  an  instruc- 
innal  materials  center.  But  unfortunately  many 
Mhiiinistrators  have  to  be  shown  the  value  and 
iittd  before  they  make  funds  available. 

\Fore  and  more  people  in  key  positions  are 

oming   convinced    that   next    in    importance 

ID  adequate  classroom  facilities  for  audiovisual 

iiNtruction  is  an  instructional  materials  center 

each  individual  school.  It  is  my  firm  belief 

,.it  any  movement  to  establish  a  center  in  a 

s(  hool  building  must  be  worked  upward  through 

I  lie  line  of  authority  from  the  teacher  and  co- 

irdinator    to    the    superintendent    and    school 

ixKird.  And  in  the  final  push,  the  teachers  them- 

i  Ives  must  make  their  needs  and  wishes  known. 

1  he  louder  and  more  often  they  do  this,   the 

Ijctter. 

rhe  business  of  starting  a  center  in  the  archi- 
uii's  plans  of  new  buildings  is  much  simpler 
ilian  finding  space  and  preparing  it  for  use  in  an 
1  \isting  building.  At  the  Benjamin  Bosse  High 
^(hool  in  Evansville,  Indiana,  a  school  of  1,900 
-tudents  and  75  teachers,  the  selling  program 
started  exactly  three  years  before  the  center  was 
completed.  As  soon  as  the  coordinator  had  con- 
\inced  the  principal  that  a  center  was  necessary 
and  useful,  the  search  for  space  began. 

It  was  decided  that  a  trial  center  should  be  set 
up  in  one  corner  of  the  coordinator's  industrial 
arts  classroom.  By  compacting  benches  and  ma- 
<hines,  an  area  approximately  fifteen  feet  square 
was  made  available.  Then  started  an  accumula- 
tion of  donated  discarded  school  furniture  and 
((juipment.  This  was  rebuilt  and  nicely  refin- 
iShed  in  the  school  shop.  The  principal  and  the 
hHooI's  business  manager  were  very  cooperative 
from  the  start  as  well  as  the  superintendent. 
I.ittle  by  little  a  stock  of  materials  from  speed 
ball  pens  to  cameras  was  added.  The  floor  in 
ihis  area  was  painted,  a  preview  screen  hung 
iiid  the  windows  blackened.  A  chain  with  a 
>nap  on  it  kept  curious  shop  boys  from  med- 
'lling  with  equipment.  Several  students  and 
teachers  were  instructed  in  the  use  of  the  dry 
mounting  machine  and  in  the  making  of  posters 
and  copy  work  with  cameras.  By  much  hard 
work,  with  weekends  thrown  in,  the  place  was 
I iudy  for  the  annual  AV  Faculty  Meeting. 

The  author  usually  has  charge  of  one  faculty 
meeting  each  year  to  acquaint  teachers  with 
inw  films,  projectors  and  the  like.  The  school 


had  been  fairly  well  supplied  with  this  type  of 
aid  for  several  years. 

But  this  faculty  meeting  was  different.  First, 
Altha  J.  Sullivan  from  the  State  Department  of  ' 
Public  Instruction  accepted  an  invitation  to 
come  and  speak.  She  was  well  supported  by  Dr. 
Carolyn  Guss  from  Indiana  University,  who  told 
of  the  original  work  we  were  doing. 

With  these  prominent  speakers  on  the  pro- 
gram and  with  a  promise  of  refreshments  and  a 
tour  of  the  makeshift  center,  it  was  easy  to  get 
many  other  visitors.  The  superintendent  and 
most  of  his  staff  attended,  principals  and  co- 
ordinators from  other  high  schools  also  came. 

Teachers  were  handed  duplicated  copies  tell- 
ing of  the  materials  and  services  furnished  free 
in  this  area.  A  fair  percentage  started  using  the 
facilities  immediately.  It  was  their  cry  for  more 
space,  away  from  the  noise  and  dust  of  the 
woodshop  that  helped  move  things  along.  All 
the  time  during  the  entire  year  the  principal  and 
coordinator  were  searching  and  planning  for  a 
new  room. 

Near  the  end  of  the  year  it  had  been  decided 
to  build  a  new  cafeteria  large  enough  to  accom- 
modate the  growing  student  body.  The  main 
dining  room  of  the  old  cafeteria  was  divided 
into  three  classrooms  —  only  one  of  which  had 
windows  and  two  of  them  with  only  a  single 
exit.  That  left  the  kitchen,  which  was  a  long 
slim  room,  and  that  is  now  the  Instructional 
Materials  Center. 

Physical  facilities  of  this  room,  which  meas- 
ures 15  by  60  feet  (900  square  feet)  include 
acoustical  tile  ceiling,  fluorescent  lighting,  ter- 
razzo  floor,  twelve  electrical  receptacles,  an  ex- 
haust fan,  a  9  by  14  foot  dark  room  with  light 
trap,  two  bulletin  boards,  and  a  4  by  8  foot  peg 
board. 

As  the  workmen  prepared  this  room,  the  ad- 
ministration became  more  enthusiastic  and  soon 
they  were  adding  facilities  that  the  coordinator 
did  not  have  the  nerve  to  include.  In  particular, 
the  acoustical  tile  ceiling  and  the  long  bright 
rows  of  fluorescent  lights,  and  the  solid  oak 
counter  with  formica  top  made  the  room  one  of 
the  show  places  of  the  entire  building.  Much  of 
the  new  furniture,  including  a  large  magazine 
rack  and  a  formica-topped  storage  cabinet,  was 
constructed  by  the  author. 

It  has  been  my  observation  that  it  is  easier  to 
get   good   equipment    in    a    well-kept    building.

Moving  Things  On  Land 

(Chiirchill-Wexler  Film  Productions, 
801  North  Seward  Street,  Los  Angeles 
38,  California).  Produced  by  Church- 
ill-Wexler,  11  minutes,  16mm,  sound, 
color  or  black  and  white,  1959.  $100 
or  $50.  Correlated  with  the  text  series, 
HEATH  ELEMENTARY  SCIENCE, 
by  Herman  and  Nina  Schneider. 


Description 

Moving  things  on  land  shows,  in 
an  amusing  but  informative  manner, 
what  friction  is,  what  the  world  would 
be  like  without  friction,  and  some  of 
the  techniques  man  has  devised  to 
help  reduce  friction  in  moving  things. 

The  film  opens  with  Jim  and  Bobby 
trying  to  move  a  large  wooden  box  of 
comic  books  to  Bobby's  home.  Fric- 
tion, however,  is  giving  them  trouble. 
Of  course,  the  boys  wish  that  there 
was  no  friction;  but  an  imaginary 
sequence  shows  what  the  world  would 
be  like  in  the  absence  of  friction. 

The  factors  that  cause  friction  are 
shown  in  the  next  scenes.  A  closeup 
view  of  the  pavement  is  pictured  so 
that  the  many  irregularities  can  be 
seen.  The  box  itself  is  covered  with 
irregularities  —  splinters,  etc.  Friction 
then  is  the  tendency  of  these  irreg- 
ularities to  prevent  the  two  surfaces 
from  sliding  over  one  another.  This 
drag  or  friction  must  be  overcome  be- 
fore an  object  can  be  moved. 

In  order  to  reduce  the  area  of  con- 
tact, the  box  is  provided  with  run- 
ners. Here  and  throughout  the  film, 
new  ways  of  reducing  friction  are  in- 
troduced by  pop-on  and  stop-motion 
photography.  The  use  of  runners  re- 
sults in  less  friction,  and  the  box  is 
moved  more  easily.  To  further  reduce 
drag,  the  surface  of  the  pavement  is 
'  covered  with  soap  powder.  With  the 
pavement  made  smoother,  the  runners 
move  more  easily. 

The  boys  are  next  furnished  with 
rollers.  These  serve  to  further  reduce 
the  friction  and  the  box  moves  with 
less  effort.  However,  the  rollers  must 
be  constantly  picked  up  at  the  back 
and  placed  in  front  of  the  box.  Several 
practical  apphcations  of  rollers  to 
moving  things  are  shown.  It  is  pointed 
out  that  this  method  of  lessening  fric- 
tion is  usually  applicable  only  when 
short  distances  are  involved. 

Next,  the  boys  are  given  wooden 


wheels  and  wooden  axles.  Here  the 
friction  is  even  less.  The  greatest 
amount  of  friction  now  is  between 
the  axle  and  the  wheel.  When  metal 
wheels  and  axles  are  supplied,  the 
boys  find  that  the  amount  of  friction 
is  still  further  reduced.  The  narrator 
points  out  that  this  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  metal  is  harder  than  the  wood 
and  can  be  made  smoother.  However, 
even  between  these  wheels  and  axles 
there  are  some  irregularities  which 
cause  friction.  Oil  is  applied  to  fill 
these  irregularities  and  the  amount  of 
friction  is  again  decreased. 

At  this  time  the  narrator  indicates 
that  perhaps  the  boys  should  be  al- 
lowed to  go  on  their  way.  However, 
he  points  out,  there  is  still  a  better 
way  to  move  things  on  land.  This  time 
the  boys  are  provided  with  roller  bear- 
ing wheels.  The  film  explains  that  al- 
most everything  which  must  turn 
extremely  well  turns  on  well-oiled 
roller  or  ball  bearings. 

Now  that  the  boys  are  using  the 
most  friction-less  way  of  moving  their 
box  of  comics,  they  are  on  their  way. 
Bobby  needs  friction  between  his  feet 
and  the  sidewalk  to  push  the  wagon 
to  get  it  started,  and  Jim  has  a  brake 
by  which  he  can  apply  friction  to  stop 
it  if  necessary. 

The  film  ends  with  Bobby's  mother 
refusing  to  let  the  comics  be  brought 
into  the  house.  "And  after  all  we've 
done  for  them!"  says  the  narrator. 


Appraisal 

The  teacher  in  the  elementary  and 
junior  high  school  science  classes  will 
find  the  film  very  useful  in  explaining 
what  causes  friction  and  in  suggesting 
ways  that  friction  can  be  overcome 
or  reduced.  The  film  should  also 
serve  as  a  basis  for  tracing  the  growth 
of  transportation  as  better  methods 
were  developed  for  overcoming  fric- 
tion. Children  will  find  the  film  not 
only  informative  but  very  amusing,  as 
trick  photography  is  used  in  many 
instances  to  help  illustrate  points  and 
to  keep  the  film  moving  at  a  lively 
pace.

Britannica  Films,  17  minutes,  16  mm,

$90. 


Description 

Hawaii— The  Fiftieth  State  intro- 
duces the  Islands  and  what  they  have 
to  offer  as  the  newest  state  of  the 
Union.  It  traces  the  Islands'  origin, 
surveys  their  physical  geography  and 
natural  resources,  introduces  the  peo- 
ple, and  gives  an  overview  of  the  ma- 
jor industries. 

The  film  opens  with  a  wide  shot  of 
sea  and  sky  while  the  narrator  ex- 
plains that,  "In  the  beginning  there 
was  only  the  sea  .  .  .  the  vast  blue  of 
the  Pacific."  Suddenly  the  peaceful, 
scene  is  disturbed  by  a  volcanic  erup- 
tion. "And  then,"  the  narration  goes 
on,  "the  floor  of  the  ocean  cracked 
open.  .  .  .  Spurting  from  this  deep 
crack  for  millions  of  years,  rock  piled 
upon  rock  until  one  day  the  first  peak 
of  land  rose  above  the  sea." 

Thus  is  the  birth  of  the  Hawaiian 
Islands.  Continuing  the  story  of  the 
creation  of  these  spectacular  land 
forms,  the  film  shows  the  still  active 
volcanoes  of  Hawaii  and  the  huge  si- 
lent craters  of  Maui.  It  pictures  the 
Polynesians  sailing  across  the  sea  to 
become  the  Islands'  first  inhabitants. 
A  series  of  scenes  depict  these  people 
living  in  their  "island  paradise"  for 
seven  thousand  years  until  their  dis- 
covery by  Captain  Cook  in  1778. 

In  Honolulu  on  Oahu,  the  ships  in 
the  harbor  and  the  busy  airport  attest 
to  the  fact  that  the  city  is  the  center 
of  transportation  and  commerce  on 
the  whole  Pacific  area.  A  succession 
of  short  scenes  shows  the  infinite  vari- 
ety of  combinations  of  the  various 
races  living  so  harmoniously  together 
in  a  land  of  magnificent  vistas  and 
near  perfect  climate.  Though  pure 
Polynesians  or  Hawaiians  now  account 
for  only  17  per  cent  of  the  population, 
the  traditions  and  culture  of  old  Ha- 
waii are  preserved  in  the  hula,  the 
luau,  the  statues,  and  the  lolani  pal- 
ace. 

The  film  points  out  the  vital  roles 
that  sugar  and  pineapple  play  in  the 
Hawaiian  economy.  On  the  planta- 
tions, the  modem  methods  and  ma- 
chinery used  in  planting,  cultivating, 
harvesting,   processing,   and   .shipping

[of  the  products  are  seen.  Tourism,  the 
[islands'  third  largest  industry,  is  a 
!tnost  rapidly  expanding  activity.  The 
I  Marine  Corps,  Air  Force,  Army  and 
\,ivy  in  Hawaii  are  an  important  part 

il  the  economy.  The  film  calls  atten- 
tion to  the  importance  of  the  armed 
forces  as  the  first  line  of  defense  for 

Ninerica's  west  coast. 

The  film  ends  by  showing  short 
M  rnes  of  Waikiki,  the  University  of 
Hiwaii,  sugar  cane  harvesting,  sailors 

in  gun,  and  the  blow  hole,  while  the 

Kiirator  states,  "With  all  its  beauty, 

'Iliant  mosaic  of  cultures,  thriving 

istries,    and    military    importance, 

iiiwaii  offers  much  to  all  America  as 

ilic  fiftieth  state  of  the  Union." 


\ppraisal 

I^esigned  to  correlate  with  all  units 
nf  study  in  social  studies,  geography, 
uid  problems  of  democracy,  this  inter- 
( sting  film  should  have  wide  audience 
ipi^eal  for  the  elementary  grades 
tliiough  the  adult  level.  It  does  an 
ulmirable  job  of  explaining  the  racial 
Diiijins  and  volcanic  sources  of  the  Is- 
lands. Introduction  of  the  people  and 
Uicir  composite  culture  and  the  pres- 


entation of  the  Islands'  beauty  spots 
are  accomplished  without  the  film's 
sounding  like  a  travelogue.  Continuity 
and  narration  remain  smooth  in  spite 
of  the  wide  variety  of  information 
presented.  The  evaluating  committee, 
however,  objected  to  the  statement 
about  Hawaii's  becoming  a  U.  S.  terri- 
tory at  "its  own  request."

Principles  of  the  Transistor 

(McGraw-Hill,  330  West  42nd  Street, 
New  York  36,  New  York)  22  minutes, 
16mm,  sound,  black  and  white,  1957. 
Produced  by  McGraw-Hill.  $120. 


Description 

Principles  of  the  Transistor  uses  ani- 
mation and  demonstration  to  illustrate 
the  history,  principles,  and  contribu- 
tions of  semi-conductors  in  modem 
electronic  equipment.  A  detailed  ex- 
planation is  presented  of  semi-conduc- 
tor theory  and  of  the  "p  and  n  types" 
of  germanium.  Throughout  the  film 
the  advantages  of  transistors  over  con- 


ventional thermionic  tubes  (the  film 
uses  the  English  term  "valves")  are 
pointed  out. 

Semi-conductors  are  shown  as  first 
employed  in  crystal  receiving  sets 
which  used  the  mineral  galena  and  a 
wire  "cats- whisker"  to  detect  'radio 
signals.  At  the  time  there  was  little 
understanding  of  the  theory  of  these 
receivers  and  they  were  soon  replaced 
by  radios  with  thermionic  tubes.  The 
number  of  tubes  required  in  various 
electronic  instruments  is  illustrated 
and  the  range  includes  from  only 
twenty  in  a  television  set  to  over  five 
thousand  in  some  computers. 

Radar  is  credited  with  stimulating 
semi-conductor  research  since  its  high 
frequencies  were  beyond  the  effective 
range  of  tubes.  Crystal  diodes  were 
developed  for  radar  and  further  re- 
search led  to  the  discovery  in  1948 
of  the  theory  on  which  the  transistor 
is  based. 

The  film  uses  animation  to  explain 
how  electrons  move  within  conductors, 
such  as  copper,  and  contrasts  this  with 
the  inability  of  non-conductors'  elec- 
trons, in  this  case  porcelain,  to  move 
about  freely  from  atom  to  atom  even

when  placed  in  an  electric  field. 

Using  demon.strations  and  anima- 
tion, the  film  .shows  germanium  to  be 
tetravalent  with  a  strong  crystal  lattice 
between  atoms  and  a  poor  conductor 
of  electricity  at  room  temperature. 
When  a  piece  of  germanium  connect- 
ed in  a  circuit  with  a  light  bulb  is 
heated  red-hot  the  bulb  lights.  At  this 
temperature,  through  animation,  elec- 
trons are  shown  to  have  been  loosened 
from  their  atoms  by  thermal  energy 
and  are  free  to  move  about  in  the 
solid.  Narration  points  out  that  this  is 
not  an  effective  way  of  controlling 
electron  flow  in  germanium  and  other 
semi-conductors. 

If  the  impurity  antimony  with  five 
valence  electrons  is  added  to  the  ger- 
manium, a  single  electron  is  left  over 
to  move  freely  about  the  solid  and 
produces  "in  type"  geiTnanium  since 
the  freely  moving  particle  carries  a 
negative  charge.  When  indium  is  add- 
ed to  pure  germanium,  only  three  of 
germanium's  four  bonds  are  used  leav- 
ing a  place  for  another  electron  or  a 
"positive  hole."  This  "hole"  acts  as  a 
positive  carrier  .  and  the  germanium 
known  as  "p  type."  Animation  pictures 
the  bonding  and  electric  current  flow 
in  both  forms  of  germanium.  A  dem- 
onstration illustrates  that  current  will 
flow  in  either  direction  through  each 
type  of  germanium. 

Next,  an  animated  sequence  pic- 
tures the  neutral  condition  found  in 
germanium  until  they  are  brought  into 
contact.  The  migration  of  positive  and 
negative  carriers  of  electricity  from 
one  type  to  the  opposite  type  of  ger- 
manium leaves  a  positive  charge  in 
the  "n  type"  and  a  negative  charge 
on  the  "p  type."  Using  this  combina- 
tion of  "p-n  types,"  a  rectifier  is  pro- 
duced that  will  pass  current  only  when 
the  negative  electrode  is  connected  to 
the  "n  type"  side.  This  "p-n  junction" 
is  known  as  a  germanium  diode.  Fol- 
lowing the  animation  a  demonstration 
of  current  rectification  and  close-ups 
of  several  diodes  are  shown. 

The  operation  of  the  "p-n-p  transis- 
tor" is  described  in  animation  by 
showing  the  charge  on  each  of  the 
segments;  the  predominance  of  posi- 
tive carriers  over  negative  carriers; 
the  roles  of  the  emitter,  base,  and  col- 
lector; and  the  manner  in  which  a 
small  current's  variation  in  the  emitter- 
base  circuit  will  produce  variation  in 
a  large  current  in  the  base-collector 
circuit.  This  principle  is  demonstrated 
in  a  simple  circuit  employing  a  tran- 
sistor and  through  close-ups  which 
call  attention  to  the  changes  in  the 
milliampere  meters'  readings.  Exam- 
ples of  transistors  used  in  small  elec- 
tronic devices  and  the  larger  power 
transistors  are  shown. 


In  closing,   the  film  points  to  the 
specific     advantages     of     transistors.  1 
Their      compactness      and      lightness  .' 
makes  it  possible  to  reduce  the  size  - 
of  equipment.  The  low  power  supply  • 
is   significant   in  portable  radios  and  ' 
hearing  aids.  In  electronic  computers 
transistors  not  only  make  miniaturiza- 
tion possible  but  eliminate  the  com- 
plex cooling  problems  as.sociated  with 
ti.se  of  thermionic  tubes. 

Appraisal 

Principles  of  the  Transistor  basic  I 
strength  is  in  the  excellent  visualiza-  1 
tion  of  current  conduction  in  semi- 
conductors. The  animation  makes  the 
operation  of  "p  and  n  types"  of  ger- 
manium and  the  "p-n  junction"  easy 
to  understand.  The  sequence  on  the 
"p-n-p  transistor"  being  more  complex  ' 
may  need  to  be  seen  more  than  once 
to  be  well  understood  by  the  student. 
The  previewers  felt  that  the  use  of 
the  English  term  "valve"  instead  of 
our  tenn  "tube"  would  present  little 
difficulty  to  students  studying  elec- 
tronics. Reinforcement  is  provided  by 
live  demonstrations  that  follow  each 
animated  sequence.  The  pacing  and 
level  of  the  content  presupposes  that 
viewers  will  be  of  senior  high  age 
or  older  and  have  a  basic  understand- 
ing of  electronic  principles.

Description 

Using  puppets  as  actors,  the  film 
tells  the  Hans  Christian  Andersen  story 
of  a  vain  emperor  and  Snipper,  the 
Master  Tailor. 

One  morning  the  Emperor,  dressed 
in  his  latest  finery,  walks  in  the  court- 
yard and  dances  to  music  by  his  cour- 
tiers, Anatole  and  Francois.  Through 
the  open  courtyard  gate.  Snipper  ob- 
serves the  Emijcror  and  makes  a  num- 
ber of  uncomplimentary  remarks  about 
the  Emperor's  fine  new  clothes.  En- 
raged, the  Emperor  withdraws  to  his 
living  quarters.  Snipper  forces  his  way 
into  the  Emperor's  rooms  and  professes 
to  be  a  master  weaver  and  tailor.  He 
promises  the  Emperor  a  suit  made  of 
extraordinarily  beautiful  and  special 
doth.    This    special    cloth,    according 


602 


EDuc.\TIo^AL  Screen  .-vnd  Audiovisu.\l  Guide — \ovembkr,  19.59 


o  Snipper,  only  can  be  seen  by  per- 
ons  who  are  worthy  and  deserving  of 
heir  position  and  station  in  life.  The 
Emperor  employs  Snipper  as  his  mas- 
er  tailor  and  dispatches  Anatole  and 
Krancois  to  Snipper's  shop  with  spools 
)f  beautifully  colored  thread.  Snipper 
jives  the  thread  to  three  of  his  friends 
or  disposal  and  pretends  he  is  thread- 
ng  the  loom  and  weaving  the  cloth. 

This  pretense  continues  as  Anatole 
nd  Francois  visit  the  shop  the  next 
norning  to  check  Snipper's  progress. 
3£  course,  neither  of  them  see  any 
loth  on  the  loom  nor  thread  in  the 
huttle,  but,  fearful  lest  their  inability 
o  see  the  cloth  would  denote  their 
mworthiness  as  courtiers,  they  pre- 
end  with  Snipper  that  the  cloth  is 
ruly  beautiful  and  magnificent. 
Throughout  the  weaving,  catting,  fit- 
ing,  and  sewing,  the  two  courtiers 
ind  Snipper  continue  the  pretense. 

When  Snipper  completes  the  tailor- 
ng,  he  delivers  the  imagined  suit  to 
he  Emperor.  The  Emperor,  too,  sees 
10  cloth  or  suit,  but  neither  can  he 
idmit  to  seeing  nothing  lest  he  be 
udged  unfit  as  an  emperor.  So,  he 
jretends  he  sees  the  cloth  and  praises 
ts  elegance,  and,  for  his  fine  work- 
nanship,   Snipper  is  given   the   Royal 


Order  of  the  Pincushion— First   Class. 

News  of  Snipper  and  his  extraordin- 
ary cloth  spreads  throughout  the  town, 
so  the  townspeople  line  the  street  to 
see  the  Emperor  and  his  new  clothes. 
When  the  Emperor  descends  from  the 
royal  coach,  the  people  applaud  and 
praise  the  beauty  of  the  new  clothes 
because  they,  too,  cannot  admit  their 
inability  to  see  the  cloth.  Finally,  a 
child  begins  to  laugh  and  exclaims, 
"But  he's  only  wearing  his  under- 
wear!" The  child's  admission  awakens 
the  townspeople  to  their  false  pre- 
tenses and  they  begin  laughing  and 
shouting,  "He's  only  wearing  his  un- 
derwear!" Realizing  that  his  vanity 
has  led  to  his  being  duped  by  Snipper, 
the  Emperor  quickly  gets  into  the 
royal  coach  and  draws  the  curtains. 
As  the  coach  pulls  away.  Snipper  and 
his  three  friends  view  the  scene  with 
amused   smiles. 

The  film  closes  with  the  narrator 
commenting  to  the  effect  that  through 
this  experience  the  Emperor  learned 
of  the  foolishness  of  vanity  and  arro- 
gance. 

Appraisal 

This  film  tells  in  a  delightful  and 
realistic   manner    the    Hans    Christian 


Andersen  tale  of  the  Emperor  and  his 
new  suit  of  clothes.  The  technique 
of  stop-motion  photography,  used  in 
making  animated  cartoons,  gives  a 
life-like  quality  to  the  puppets'  move- 
ments. Simulated  dialogue  between  the 
puppets  and  three-dimensional  props 
and  backgrounds  also  add  to  the  real- 
ism. 

Because  of  the  realism  of  settings 
and  puppets  and  the  simplicity  with 
which  the  story  is  told,  children  will 
be  able  to  follow  the  story  easily.  Bits 
of  humor  throughout  the  film  will  hold 
their  interest.  Some  of  the  more  subtle 
incidents,  such  as  bestowing  on  Snip- 
per the  Order  of  the  Royal  Pincushion 
—First  Class,  may  be  lost  to  younger 
children.  Likewise,  the  full  implica- 
tions of  the  pretenses  of  seeing  the 
cloth  will  probably  not  be  understood 
by  children  in  kindergarten  and  pri- 
mary grades.  Words,  such  as  vanity, 
will  need  to  be  explained  not  only  in 
context  of  the  story  but  also  will  need 
to  be  related  to  other  life  experiences. 
The  film  will  reinforce  the  adult 
viewer's  awareness  that  fairy  tales 
often  serve  a  dual  purpose  by  provid- 
ing both  an  entertaining  story  and  a 
lesson  in  human  relationships.

Three  films  of  an  entirely  new  kind 
from  Coronet  bring  to  life  the  human 
side  of  science.  Authentic  in  every 
way  .  .  .  filmed  at  actual  locations 
in  Europe  .  .  .  these  motion  pictures 
present  a  stimulating  picture  of  the 
life  and  work  of  three  great  think-

new  appreciation  of  how  devotion 
to  science  by  men  who  lived  cen- 
turies ago  furnished  the  basis  upon 
which  many  of  today's  fast-moving 
scientific  developments  are  built. 
These  pictures  of  the  human  mind  at 
its  creative  apex  will  inspire  young 
scientists  and  perhaps  suggest  the 
!)arts    they    expect    to    play    in    this 


great  process.  Each  film  is  13Vi  min-

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


We  have  heard  it  said  that  to  build 
a  solid  foundation  one  should  make 
haste  slowly.  There  is  much  to  com- 
mend in  this  sage  injunction,  but  there 
is  also  a  potential  danger.  That  danger 
rests  in  the  interpretation  of  what  is 
meant  by  "slowly,"  The  reason  we 
call  attention  to  this  is  that  we  fre- 
quently wonder  just  how  long  it  will 
be  before  all  those  who  have  recourse 
to  filmstrips  in  the  educational  field 
actually  use  them  for  what  they  are 
—  a  type  of  instructional  material  that 
can  help  to  bring  life  and  reality  to 
a  learning  situation.  We  have  seen 
more  good  filmstrips  murdered  by  a 
"smothering  technique"  which  pushes 
them  into  the  background  and  more 
or  less  stifles  the  real  potential  of  the 
material.  To  paraphrase  a  certain  cur- 
rently popular  television  program  (and 
with  apologies)  we  say  "To  put  a 
little  fun  into  your  classroom  periods, 
why  not  try  using  your  filmstrips  with 
a  dynamic  presentation!"  Filmstrips 
can  be  just  as  effective  as  motion 
pictures;  they  can  bring  action  and 
motion  into  a  lesson;  they  can  evoke 
discussion  —  but  they  will  never  do 
it  if  you  grudgingly  use  them  as  a 
substitute  for  something  else;  if  you 
plow  through  them  with  as  little  verve 
as  a  lead  weight.  Think  it  over.

How  We  Got  Our  Christmas 
Customs 

(single  strip,  color,  with  33  1/3  rpm, 
record  and  guide;  $10  for  unit).  We 
have  never  had  a  year  go  by  with- 
out hearing  someone  ask  "how  did 
we  get  "  and  then  the  ques- 
tions come  tumbling  out.  People  of  all 
ages  want  to  know  how  we  come  to 
do  certain  things,  why  we  celebrate 
certain  customs,  etc.  This  filmstrip 
will  be  very  helpful  when  some  pupil 
wants  to  know  how  we  started  the 
custom  of  sending  Christmas  cards, 
why  we  use  mistletoe  and  holly  for 
decorations,  and  how  people  in  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  world  celebrate 
Christmas.  The  customs  illustrated  are 


significant  ones  all  around  the  world 
and  there  is  a  wealth  of  interesting 
detail.  The  recorded  narration  is  good 
and  carries  us  through  the  story.  It 
is  a  strip  to  be  recommended  for  use 
anywhere  and  by  anyone  whc>  wants 
to  know  more  about  Christma-s. 


Mary's  Pilgrim  Thanksgivring 

(single  strip;  color;  $6).  There  is  a 
unique  quality  to  Thanksgiving  tthat 
sets  it  apart  on  the  calendar  for  'all 
Americans,  and  this  filmstrip  has  soiiJie- 
thing  of  that  "specialness"  for  tlie 
story.  It  is  the  story  of  Mary,  a  litt'le 
Pilgrim  girl,  who  gets  lost  while  o\M 
gathering  nuts  for  the  harvest  feasIP'- 
All  of  the  facts  necessary  for  con-y- 
sidering  the  historical  meaning  oP 
Thanksgiving    are    included    in    the^ 


of  human  interest  that  makes  it  seem 


story,   but   there   is   an   added   touch''  I 

real.  Very  good  for  social  studies  and  \ 
language  arts  in  the  lower  and  mid- 
dle grades. 


Barbara's  Happy  Christmas 

(single  strip,  color  with  33  1/3  rpm. 
record;  $8.50  for  unit).  This  is  not 
just  a  story  about  Christmas,  it  is  the 
story  of  how  one  family  invites  a  girl 
from  a  children's  home  to  visit  them 
for  the  holiday  and  to  share  in  their 
family  festivities.  The  story  includes 
sequences  in  the  children's  home  it- 
self, and  indicates  that  there  too 
every  effort  is  made  to  provide  a 
happy  holiday  experience  for  the  boys 
and  girls  who  live  there.  It  stresses 
the  fact,  however,  that  there  are 
values  in  family  life  that  all  can 
share  with  those  who  do  not  have 
families  of  their  own.  The  narration 
is  natural  and  the  story  well  pre- 
sented. It  is  to  be  recommended  both 
for  school  groups  and  also  for  church 
and  community  organizations  of  all 
ages.

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1959 


the  Disney  motion  pictures  dealing 
with  man  and  his  flight  into  space, 
these  filmstrips  are  planned  to  pro- 
vide answers  to  many  questions  about 
space,  the  atom,  the  moon  and  space 
flight.  Relying  on  the  Disney  cartoon 
technique  to  stimulate  interest,  and 
with  a  minimum  of  caption,  they  are 
correlated  to  science  units  in  the  mid- 
dle grades  and  high  school.  The  two 
strips  dealing  with  man  and  his  flight 
around  the  moon  are  very  timely  and 
give  us  some  very  excellent  ideas  of 
what  might  be  seen  from  a  rocket 
ship.  The  pictorial  explanations  of  the 
structure  of  the  atom  are  good,  and 
pupils  will  be  interested  in  the  story 
of  how  man  learned  to  fly.  This  is 
material  of  interest  to  today's  pupils 
and  is  presented  in  a  manner  likely  to 
meet  them  at  their  own  level  of  both 
study  and  hobby  activities. 


The  Boy  Scientist  Series 

(5  strips,  color;  produced  by  Long 
Filmslide  Service,  7505  Fairmount 
Ave.,  El  Cierrot  8,  Calif.;  $23.50  per 
set,  $5.00  single  strips).  Young  scient- 
ists start  their  experimentations  early 
these  days,  and  this  series  is  planned 
to  help  3rd,  4th  and  5th  graders  in 
their  activities.  Bob,  star  scientist  of 
the  series,  builds  a  telescope,  visits  the 
moon,  investigates  the  construction  of 
a  rocket,  learns  to  use  a  microscope 
and  investigates  the  structure  of  atoms 
and  molecules.  Cartoon  style  is  em- 
ployed to  present  characters,  diagrams 
and  explanations.  The  language  is 
simple  and  there  are  review  questions 
for  further  study  and  project  work. 
The  approach  to  subject  matter  is 
timely  and  appeals  to  the  current  areas 
of  pupil  interest. 


The  British  Isles 

(5  strips,  color;  produced  by  Jam 
Handy  Organization,  2821  East  Grand 
Blvd.,  Detroit,  Mich.;  $25.95  per  set; 
$5.75  single  strips).  There  are  many 
facets  to  life  in  the  British  Isles  and 
this  series  takes  us  on  an  "overview" 
of  the  farming  and  industrial  sections, 
everyday  life  in  London,  and  com- 
parable life  in  Ireland.  Emphasis  is  in 
all  instances  on  the  natural  resources 
and  those  industries  and  economic 
factors  that  have  contributed  to  mak- 
ing the  British  Isles  a  great  world 
leader.  Maps  help  us  to  orient  our- 
selves geographically;  the  pictorial 
sequences  introduce  us  to  coal  fields, 
cottage  farmers,  urban  London  and 
Dublin.  The  viewer  also  sees  some- 
thing of  the  historical  landmarks  that 


represent  milestones  in  the  growth 
and  development  of  Great  Britain. 
The  material  is  planned  for  middle 
and  upper  grades  social  studies  and 
geography. 


Our  Sky 

(4  strips,  color;  produced  by  Film- 
strip  House,  347  Madison  Ave.,  New 
York  17,  N.Y.:  $20  per  set,  $6  single 
strips).  We  hear  so  much  about  space 
today  and  yet  so  very  few  seem  to 
know  much  about  the  sky  which  is 
a  part  of  tliat  great  area  we  so  glibly 
call  space.  Certainly  a  knowledge  of 
some  of  the  simple  facts  of  astronomy 
and  the  heavens  will  help  us  to  enjoy 
the  sky  as  we  look  at  it  each  evening, 
and  it  will  also  help  us  to  a  better 
understanding  of  modern  space  prob- 
lems. What  We  See  In  the  Sky;  Our 
Solar  System;  The  Earth  In  Motion; 
Our  Moon  are  the  separate  titles,  and 
the  material  includes  authentic  sky 
maps,  facts  about  rockets  and  space 
travel,  and  basic  principles  of  elemen- 
tary astronomy.  The  filmstrips  are 
good  to  use  in  connection  with  possi- 
ble visits  to  a  local  planetarium  and 
they  are  also  good  for  science  units.

Audiovisual  personnel  are  faced 
with  the  altogether  pleasant  task  of 
using  monies.  But  the  pleasant  aspects 
include  great  responsibility  to  use  the 
money  wisely.  If  we  do  not  make  the 
NDEA  funds  with  which  we  have 
been  entrusted  contribute  markedly  to 
educational  progress  we  shall  have 
failed. 

Each  of  us,  at  one  time  or  another, 
has  said  in  our  dreams,  "If  I  had  a 
million  dollars.  .  .  ."  Suddenly,  we  do! 

If  we  had  that  "million  dollars"  we 
would  go  to  a  good  and  reliable  in- 
vestment broker,  who  might  tell  us 
that  the  first  phase  of  a  sound  invest- 
ment program  involves  properties- 
conservative  and  sound  investments  in 
properties.  These  include  savings 
banks  accounts,  government  securi- 
ties and  "gilt  edge"  bonds,  adequate 
insurance  and  home  ownership. 

So  let's  make  the  conservative  in- 
vestment—the properties  investment- 
first  and  be  sure  that  the  schools  we 
serve  are  adequately  supplied  with 
needed  equipment  and  maintenance 
and  full  information  concerning  ma- 
terials. 

The  second  phase  of  the  investment 
program  involves  income  producing 
securities.  Translated  into  audiovisual 
terms  this  involves  the  development 
of  a  sound  teacher-training  program 
relying  not  only  upon  our  own  in- 
dividual talents  but,  as  we  are  able, 
calling  upon  the  specialized  knowl- 
edges and  talents  of  each  individuals. 
Because  in  this  area  we  are  entering 
boldly  into  materials  of  the  instruc- 
tion aspect  of  the  audiovisual  pro- 
gram, this  phase  cannot  be  under- 
taken without  the  consultation,  ad- 
vice and  guidance  of  other  members 
of  the  professional  staff.  Certainly,  in 
this  day  and  age,  we  would  not  con- 
sider any  teacher-training  activity— 
either  in-service  or  pre-service- ade- 
quate urJess  the  emphasis  was  placed 
on  the  materials  available,  their  utili- 
zation in  instruction  and  the  out- 
comes to  be  anticipated. 

Next,  our  investment  advisor  tells 
us  to  look  for  "growth  investments" 
which  may  not  yield  heavy  returns 
immediately  but  which  in  the  long 
run  are  extremely  valuable.  Each  year 
we  hear  of  people  who  invested  a 
few  dollars  in  some  stock  which,  over 
the  years,  has  yielded  a  spectacular 
return. 


The  growth  we  seek  is  educational. 
Therefore  we  must  seek  growth  in- 
vestments in  instructional  materials 
which  will  help  our  students  develop 
the  seeing  and  listening  skills  which 
enrich  their  lives  and  secure  their  well 
being.  This  growth  investment  may 
be  in  films  and  filmstrips,  it  may  be 
in  recordings,  it  may  be  in  a  variety 
of  materials  for  a  variety  of  purposes. 
We  will  not  see  an  immediate  return— 
we  are  in  a  sense  gambling— but  we 
anticipate  that  today's  students  will 
be  better  prepared  for  their  tomorrow 
because  of  this  growh  service  we  have 
rendered. 

Does  the  investment  broker  stop 
there?  He  does  not.  He  also  recom- 
mends that  a  proportion  of  our  'mil- 
lion dollars'  be  used  as  risk  capital. 
In  our  whole  history— instructional  as 
well  as  economic— it  has  been  the  'risk 
capital'  which  has  meant  rapid 
growth.  In  the  current  scene  we  are 
'risking'  many  millions  of  dollars  each 
year  in  the  area  of  educational  tele- 
vision. It  is  new,  it  is  challenging,  it 
has  a  contribution  to  make  to  educa- 
tion both  in  school  and  out,  and  we 
are  risking  capital  in  the  form  of  time, 
money  and  talent  to  discover  the  serv- 
ices as  well  as  the  limitations  of  this 
magic  medium.  And  we  all  believe 
that,  as  other  audiovisual  communica- 
tions media  found  a  level  of  contri- 
bution to  education  and  instruction,  so 
will  TV. 

Let's  Experiment 

So,  too,  will  other  media.  But  we 
must  experiment  with  them.  There 
are  new  devices  for  teaching  reading, 
new  devices  to  encomage  the  slow 
learner,  new  devices  to  challenge  the 
gifted  student  as  well  as  new  con- 
cepts in  materials  and  equipment  de- 
signed for  classroom  and  for  individ- 
ual study. 

We  MUST  risk  capital  (and  at 
long  last  vve  have  the  capital  to  risk) 
to  experiment  boldly  with  these  de- 
vices and  machines  and  materials  to 
determine  in  what  ways  their  contri- 
bution may  be  superior— inferior  or 
average.  Indeed,  we  may  find  the  in- 
structional millenium  in  some  new  de- 
vice to  be  introduced  tomorrow  or  the 
day  after.  A  few  of  us  will  hail  the 
new  as  "miraculous"  and  the  "answer 
to  all  our  prayers."  A  few  will  damn 
witli  faint  praise  and  a  few  will  dis- 


miss the  new  with  a  "just  another 
gadget"  approach.  But  most  of  us 
MUST  plan  to  experiment  to  learn 
the  truth. 

As  we  risk,  so  must  we  report.  We 
must  report  the  successes— and  the 
failures  with  equal  candor.  We  must 
.share  information  to  progress. 

As  we  invest  our  newfound  wealth 
over  the  next  few  years  (and  no  sound 
investment  program  is  consummated 
in  weeks)  we  must  consider  immedi- 
ate needs,  immediate  returns,  growtli 
and  the  virtue  of  risk  if  we  are  to 
wisely  hu.sband  and  expend  our  money 
and  face  up  to  the  grave  responsi- 
bility we  sought  and  achieved. 

Another  factor  to  be  considered  is 
the  current  swelling  of  the  ranks  of 
audiovisual  sales  personnel.  There  are 
'old  line'  firms  handling  'old  line' 
equipment,  and  there  are  'johnny- 
come-latehes'  who  are  taking  whatever 
accounts  they  can  secure.  It  cannot  be 
said  that  all  the  newer  dealers  are 
planning  to  take  advantage  of  the  new 
monies  and  then  disappear  leaving 
the  schools  with  little  more  than 
vouchers  marked  "paid"  and  broken 
equipment  ....  nor  can  it  be  said 
that  more  experienced  dealers  and 
producers  will  not  bend  every  means 
possible  to  take  advantage  of  the  situ- 
ation and  thereby  imdermine  the  con- 
fidence of  the  public  in  audiovisual 
education. 

This  then  becomes  a  "buyer  be- 
ware" market  in  which  we  as  custo- 
dians of  public  funds  must  examine 
the  intent  and  reliability  of  the  ma- 
terials producer  and  his  product  and 
the  distributor  as  well.  And  the  fact 
of  newness  or  antiquity  cannot  be  a 
deciding  factor— responsibility  and  re- 
liability must  be  the  pivotal  points. 

For,  if  we  eschew  the  new  distribu- 
tor we  seriou.sly  limit  the  potentials  of 
service,  and  if  we  similarly  shrug  off 
or  deny  the  new  material  or  informa- 
tion source  of  machine  we  lost  the 
'risk  capital'  values  of  the  NDEA 
funds. 

While  'risk'  is  on  our  minds  may  we 
point  out  that  a  new  and,  we  believe, 
potentially  important  valuable  new 
development  in  education  is  the  surge 
towards  the  teaching  of  foreign  lan- 
guages in  the  elementary  schools.  Yet 
the  organizations  offering  materials  in 
this  comparatively  'new'  area  are  the 
'tried  and  true'  of  many  years  stand- 
ing. Four  firms  offering  materials  par- 
ticularly designed  for  elementary 
school  application  in  this  area  include 
Ottenheimer  (more  than  fifty  years 
old!),  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  (cer- 
tainly old  enough  to  vote! )  Houghton- 
Mifflin  (whose  textbooks  we  all  used 
when  we  were  in  school  ourselves!) 
and  McGraw-Hill    (a  standard  name

in  the  publishing  business  for  as  long 
as  we  can  remember!).  These  major 
organizations  are  putting  'risk  capital' 
(frankly,  for  profit)  into  an  experi- 
mental area  of  education— and  we, 
too,  should  put  'risk  capital'  into  this 
area  (frankly,  for  profit)  so  that  we 
may  determine  what  new  services  we 
receive  in  the  future. 

ENRICHMENT  MATERIALS  (246 
Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  1 )  continues 
to  supply  recordings  of  interest  to 
history  and  social  studies  instructors. 
The  recordings,  generally,  are  applica- 
ble in  the  upper  elementary  grades 
and  junior  high  school  classes  in  the 
teaching  of  American  history. 

"The  Mayflotver  Compact"  (EAD 
3A)  recounts  the  adventures  of  the 
Puritans  through  the  early  accidents 
involved  in  their  voyage  to  the  new 
world,  the  trials  of  the  journey  and 
finally  the  landing  near  Cape  Cod. 
Through  it  all  the  importance  of  the 
individual  and  the  individual's  right 
of  self-determination  is  stressed.  The 
recording  includes  a  dramatization  of 
the  framing,  presentation  and  signing 
of  the  Mayflower  Compact— the  docu- 
ment which  in  many  ways  has  become 
the  keystone  to  democratic  proce- 
dures. In  the  course  of  the  recording, 
the  document  is  read. 

The  reverse  side  of  the  recording  is 
"George  Washington's  Farewell  Ad- 
dress" (EAD  3B),  an  equally  inter- 
esting and  equally  well  -  performed 
condensation  of  the  address  itself  as 
well  as  of  the  times  in  which  it  was 
delivered.  Throughout  authenticity 
holds  sway  over  dramatic  intent,  and 
yet  the  listening  experience  can  be 
exciting  to  appropriately  motivated 
children.  The  recording  is,  of  course, 
essentially  a  reading  of  the  document 
delivered  by  George  Washington.  The 
salient  points  offered  by  the  retiring 
President  are  appropriately  stressed 
through  the  narration.  Included,  of 
course,  are  General  Washington's 
pleas  for  internal  order,  peace  and  co- 
operation, and  his  famous  warning 
concerning  foreign  alliances.  After 
presenting  the  recording  to  the  class, 
in  order  to  motivate  discussion  of  cur- 
rent parallel  problems,  the  teacher 
may  well  pose  the  question,  "Do  you 
think  that  President  Washington 
would  have  said  the  same  things 
today— knowing  what  we  do  of  the 
speed  of  modern  travel  and  modem 
communications?" 


Four  other  titles  have  been  added 
to  the  ENRICHMENT  library,  includ- 
ing "Trappers  and  Traders  of  the  Far 
West"  (ERL  117B)  backed  up  by 
"Alexander    Hamilton    and    Aaron

Burr."  The  former  title  deals  with  the 
Astor  attempts  to  create  a  world  fur 
empire,  the  rigors  of  both  overland 
and  water  travel  to  the  Pacific  coast 
and  the  establishment  of  Fort  As- 
toria. The  latter  story,  that  of  the  dis- 
pute and  duel  between  Burr  and 
Hamilton,  is  probably  far  better 
known  to  most  school  children.  The 
recording  relies  on  the  Landmark 
book  of  the  saine  title  (by  Anna  and 
Russell  Grouse,  Random  House,  1958) 
and  follows  it  carefully.  Through  this 
recording  students  may  learn  of  the 
backgrounds  of  the  antagonists,  their 
services  in  the  Revolutionary  War, 
their  diverse  political  philosophies  and 
finally  the  decision  and  action  on 
Hamilton's  part  which  so  embittered 
Aaron  Burr  that,  despite  his  high 
office  and  grave  responsibilities,  he 
challenged  Hamilton  to  the  famous 
duel  which  ended  Hamilton's  life. 


Also  released  by  Enrichment  Ma- 
terials this  fall  is  "Commodore  Perry 
and  the  Opening  of  Japan"  (ERL 
118A)  which  tells  the  story  of  Perry's 
successful  endeavor  to  establish  trade 
relations  with  the  Japanese  nation. 
This  recording  is  accompanied  by 
"Teddy  Roosevelt  and  the  Rough 
Riders"  (ERL  118B).  This  rollicking 
story  begins  with  the  recruiting  of 
men  for  the  "Rough  Riders,"  their 
training  is  recounted  as  are  the  diffi- 
culties of  their  journey  to  Cuba.  We 
hear  the  story  of  the  charge  up  San 
Juan  Hill  and  finally  are  apprised  of 
the  return  of  the  troop  to  the  United 
States.  The  story  is  told  through  the 
eyes  of  the  correspondent  who  accom- 
panied them,  Richard  Harding  Davis. 

Of  particular  interest  on  this  re- 
cording is  the  use  of  Teddy  Roose- 
velt's voice— or  an  old  recording  of  it. 


In  the  recording,  which  may  have 
great  instructional  values  for  the  alert 
teacher  who  wants  to  challenge  her 
class,  Mr.  Roosevelt  begins  a  short 
statement  with  "The  principles  for 
which  we  stand  .  .  .  ."  and  clearly 
summarizes  his  belief  in  the  rights  of 
the  common  man. 


Mature  high  school  students,  col- 
lege students  and  adults  will  find 
pleasure  and  satisfaction  in  hearing 
the  superior  recording  of  "The  Pic- 
ture of  Dorian  Gray"  (Caedmon  277 
Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  16)  which 
has  recently  been  released.  In  this, 
excerpts  from  the  novel  are  read  by 
Hurd  Hatfield,  the  actor  who  created 
the  character  on  the  screen.  The  con- 
stant degeneration  of  the  physically 
unchanging  individual  mirrored  as 
Dorian  Gray  sees  himself  through  his 
own  eyes. 

This  unusual  recording  can  be  used 
for  individual  listening,  assigned  or 
voluntary;  for  enrichment  purposes 
for  gifted  students  and  as  a  strong 
motivation  to  read  the  Wilde  novel 
complete.  Although  the  reading  is 
perforce  reduced  to  the  dimension  of 
the  recording,  the  moods  and  char- 
acters of  the  book  are  faithfully  and 
expertly  communicated. 


Frederick  Worlock  gjives  us  an  ex- 
cellent reading  of  selected  Robert 
Burns  poems  in  POETRY  OF  ROB 
ERT  BURNS  (Caedmon  Records, 
277  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  17).  In- 
cluded in  this  recording  are  Burns' 
"To  A  Mouse,"  "Mary  Morison,"  "For 
'a  That,"  "To  A  Louse,"  "Tam  C- 
Shanter,"  "Sic  a  Wife  as  Willie  Had," 
"The  Banks  o'  Doon,"  "John  Ander- 
son, my  Jo"  and  "Auld  Lang  Syne." 


Most,  or  all  of  these  poems  are  read 
in  secondary  school  English  classes— 
and  this  performance  can  add  greatly 
to  the  pleasure  of  listening— and  learn- 
ing—about Burns. 

On  the  "flip-side"  Charles  R.  M. 
Brooks,  a  Glasgow  schoolmaster,  reads 
"Sir  Patrick  Spens,"  "Edward,  Ed- 
ward," "The  Wee,  Wee  Man,"  "The 
Wife  of  Usher's  Well,"  "The  Twa 
Corbies,"  "The  Lament  of  the  Border 
Widow,"  "Get  Up  and  Bar  the  Door" 
and  other  of  the  well-known  SCOT- 
TISH BORDER  BALLADS.  Each  of 
these  recordings  is  excellent  and,  al- 
though for  a  broad  audience  including 
home  listeners  and  library  patrons,  has 
specific  classroom  applications  of  no 
mean  import. 


Hallmark  Recordings  Ltd.  (81 
Grenville  Street,  Toronto  5,  Canada) 
offers  the  very  interesting  and  useful 
"Folk  Songs  of  Canada"  which  can  be 
used  most  effectively  in  upper  elemen- 
tary and  junior  high  school  classes 
studying  Canadian  history,  folklore 
and  customs.  This  single  twelve  inch 
(33  1/3  rpm)  recording  contains  nine- 
teen recordings,  some  in  French,  in- 
cluding such  titles  as  "Blood  on  the 
Saddle,"  "Dans  Tous  les  Cantons," 
"The  False  Young  Man,"  "Vive  La 
Canadiennel"  and  "Brave  Wolfe." 

Canadian  folk  songs  spring  from  the 
many  sources  which  are  the  Canadian 
people.  Each  group  has  made  its  con- 
tribution and  many  are  represented 
in  the  recording,  including  the  Indians 
and  Eskimos  who  inhabited  Canada 
before  the  white  man  came,  the  habi- 
tants who  sang  their  way  westward 
and  who  cleared  the  farms  of  the  St. 
Lawrence  valley,  the  explorers  (French 
and  English)  who  struggled  their  way 
across  the  continent,  the  fishermen  of 
the  eastern  seaboard,  the  pioneer  set- 
tlers and  sodbusters,  the  sailors  and 
others  who  have  made  our  neighbor 
to  the  North. 

This  album  offers  a  good  idea  of 
the  richness  and  variety  of  the  Ca- 
nadian national  folk  heritage.  Here 
are  the  songs  of  soldiers  and  lovers, 
lullabies  and  ditties,  ballads  and  dance 
tunes.  Here  are  represented  the  com- 
bined French,  English  and  American 
background  which  is  Canadian  culture. 


Secondary  school  and  college  lan- 
guage teachers  will  be  interested  in 
GERMAN  STUDENTS'  SONGS 
(Folkways  Records  FW  8788-117 
West  46th  Street,  New  York  City). 
These,  sung  by  Ernst  Wolff  who  ac- 
companies himself  on  the  piano,  in- 
clude many  old  favorites  which  stu- 
dents will  recognize  and  will  enjoy 
both  hearing  and  singling.

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1959 


NO  TIME  FOR  SERGEANTS 
(Libraphone,  Box  215,  Long  Branch, 
N.  J.)  is  one  of  the  newer  straight 
readings  which,  ahhough  intended  pri- 
marily for  use  by  ill  and  sight  handi- 
capped people,  may  also  be  used  for 
pleasure  listening  by  others.  This  re- 
cording is  similar  to  the  special  re- 
cordings made  available  to  the  blind 
in  that  it  is  recorded  on  twelve  inch 
discs  at  16.7  r.p.m.  It  is  different  in 
that  it  is  also  available  for  purchase 
and  for  general  use.  Mac  Hyman's  best- 
selling  novel  was  widely  acclaimed,  the 
adaptation  produced  on  Broadway 
was  a  "hit."  This  is  a  complete  reading 
of  the  adventures  and  misadventures 
of  Will  Stockdale,  the  easy  -  going 
draftee  who  just  wanted  to  get  along 
with  everybody.  William  Lanteau,  who 
reads  the  book,  portrays  a  simple,  lik- 
able mountaineer  who  delights  in 
helping  others  and  who  just  wants  to 
serve  in  the  army  if  that  is  what  he  is 
told  to  do.  He  has  no  particular  ambi- 
tion but  "live  and  let  live,"  no  par- 
ticular drive  and  is  completely  naive 
in  his  dealings  with  others— soldier  and 
civilian  alike. 

The  reading  is  well  done.  In  order 
to  contain  the  reading  in  six  sides, 
sometimes  it  seems  paced  too  fast  for 
the  listener.  Still,  it  is  a  desirable  addi- 
tion to  many  loan  type  collections  — 
in  secondary  schools  and  colleges  as 
well  as  in  public  libraries. 

Finally,  you  will  be  interested  in 
GREAT  NEGRO  AMERICANS, 
which  features  brief  summaries  of  the 
lives  and  contributions  to  the  general 
welfare  of  such  outstanding  negro 
Americans  as  Mary  McLeod  Bethune, 
Dr.  Daniel  Hill  Williams,  Jess  Owens, 
Louis  Armstrong,  Marian  Anderson, 
John  H.  Johnson,  A.  Philip  Randolph, 
Robert  A.  Cole,  Charles  C.  Spaulding 
and  Dr.  Ralph  Bunche.  These  dis- 
tinguished Americans  are  noted  for 
their  contributions  to  the  American 
way  of  living,  and  these  are  summar- 
ized in  the  recording  narrated  by 
Frederick  O'Neal  and  Hilda  Sims.  This 
excellent,  inspirational  material  is 
published  by  World  Specialties,  Inc. 
(140  West  31st  Street,  New  York). 
Although  it  lacks  examples  of  the  art 
of  Louis  Armstrong  and  Marian  An- 
derson, as  well  as  the  voice  of  Ralph 
Bunche,  all  of  which  would  lend  it 
greater  authenticity,  the  recording  may 
be  used  effectively  for  the  presentation 
of  information  about  these  particular 
individuals.  This  excellent  recording, 
or  portions  of  it  selected  by  the  in- 
structor, may  be  effectively  used  in 
secondary  school  and  college  classes 
in  modern  history  and  sociology  to 
"kick  off"  discussions  relating  to  cur- 
rent problems.

In  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Helen  vs  Ethyl  Alcohol 

Since  repeal,  which  was  to  free  the 
country  of  saloons  and  drunks,  the 
grand  strategy  of  the  beverage  al- 
cohol industry  has  been  to  keep  the 
attention  of  citizen,  doctor,  lawyer, 
church  and  clergy  riveted  upon  the 
alcoholic.  In  effecting  this  shift  from 
cause  to  effect  the  liquor  interests 
have  been  clever  and  singularly  suc- 
cessful in  face  of  the  general  Ameri- 
can bent  to  consider  causes  before 
symptoms. 

We  have  all  seen  the  "mean-mama" 
thesis  elaborated  in  books  and  films. 
Us  companion  is  the  "un-loving  wife" 
theory  of  alcoholism.  This  is  the  line 
of  argument  in  the  film,  Understand- 
ing Heart. 

The  user's  guide  for  this  film  says, 
while  it  "was  produced  as  television 
entertainment,  its  insights  into  al- 
coholism, marriage  relationships,  and 
Christianity  (evenl)  make  it  extremely 
valuable  for  church  groups.  Realizing 
the  film's  uses.  Proctor  and  Gamble 
has  made  prints  available  for  church 
distribution." 

For  a  service  fee,  which  is  quite 
reasonable,  this  film  can  be  secured 
from  the  Methodist  Publishing  House, 
Nashville,  Tenn.,  and  its  branches  in 
twelve  of  the  leading  cities  of  the 
U.  S. 

.At  the  end  of  the  film,  Loretta 
Young  summarizes  by  saying  that 
"understanding  is  a  two-way  street." 
However,  in  the  film  it  is  Helen,  wife 
of  alcoholic  l,ou  Mason,  who  does 
most  of  the  walking.  She  does  not 
understand  him,  trust  him,  and  love 
him,  indeed,  as  she  should.  This 
being  the  case,  things  get  worse  in 
their  relationships.  Lou  deterioriates 
under  the  hammer  blows  of  alcohol 
because  Helen's  love  can't  hold  him 
together.  What  a  phony  thesis!  Al- 
cohol, a  hydrocarbon  narcotic  power- 
ful enough  to  destroy  the  strongest 
men,  disintegrate  the  most  adhesive 
human  relationships,  and  corrupt  the 
soundest  society,  comes  off  without  a 
scratch  of  blame.  The  powerful  in- 
dustry that  aggressively  promotes  its 
consumption  by  all  ages  is  not  remote- 
ly related  to  the  problem.  Helen,  the 
wife,  is  handy,  so  Ethyl  .Alcohol  goes 


blameless.  This  is  Part  One  of  the 
film. 

Now  in  part  two  there  is  an  up- 
turn. The  couple  next  door,  one  a 
former  alcoholic,  comes  to  the  rescue 
by  offering  understanding  and  by  get- 
ting Helen  and  Lou  into  Al  Anon. 
Of  course,  un-loving,  misunderstanding, 
and  suspicious  Helen  is  kept  in  a  bad 
light  right  to  the  end  of  Act  Two 
while  her  thawing  husband  absorbs 
by  social  osmosis  not  only  the  strength 
to  do  right  but  to  act  prematurely 
noble. 

I  am  sure  that  we  need  to  see  this 
film.  We  need  to  see  it  but  not  accept 
its  tliesis.  Of  course  something  should 
be  done  to  help  the  alcoholic.  This 
is  the  job  of  citizen  and  Christian.  It 
is  also  the  job  of  responsible  citizen 
and  sincere  religionist  to  go  after  the 
cause;  to  deal  with  the  producer  of 
victims.  The  alcohol-cult  must  be 
dealt  with.  That's  central.  Concentra- 
tion upon  effects,  to  the  total  neglect 
of  cause,  suits  the  liquor  industry  to 
a  T,  but  is  also  fatal  folly. 

If  this  film  can  concentrate  the 
attention  of  the  church  and  com- 
munity upon  its  central  tasks  in  re- 
spect to  the  evil  of  alcohol,  then  I 
recommend  it  heartily.  If  it  advances 
the  ends  and  objectives  of  the  grand 
strategy  of  the  irresponsible  liquor  in- 
terests of  the  country,  I  most  certainly 
do  not  commend  it  but  on  the  other 
hand  deplore  its  original  production 
and  its  present  distribution.— WSH 


Utilization  Report 

The  first  item  to  catch  my  attention 
in  the  AV  utilization  report  from  the 
Woodside  Methodist  Church,  8750 
Georgia  Ave.,  Silver  Spring,  Md.,  was 
"7  failures."  Miss  Esther  Fox,  Director 
of  Christian  Education,  not  only  be- 
lieves in  recording  the  total  number 
of  AV  usages  but  also  in  keeping  track 
of  AV  failures.  She  even  gives  the  rea- 
sons for  these  failures  —  2  machine 
failures,  1  human  error,  S  changes  of 
plans,  and  one  time  the  film  itself  just 
did  not  arrive. 

Turning  to  the  positive,  she  reports 
that  the  43  showings  which  came  off 
were  distributed  among  the  media  as 


610 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1959 


follows:  30  filmstrips;  2  films;  2  seu  of 
slides.  These  were  all  in  classrooms. 
In  addition  to  this,  7  films  were  used 
with  parents'  groups  and  one  filmstrip 
and  one  set  of  slides  were  used  in  eve- 
ning youth  meetings. 

Her  records  also  show  that  the  4S 
showings  were  distributed  as  follows 
among  the  various  groups  of  the 
church:  Kindergarten  7;  Primary  10, 
Junior  11;  Youth  6;  adult  classes  2; 
parent  groups  7.  When  this  material  is 
viewed  from  the  standpoint  of  broad 
topic  classifications  it  falls  into  the 
following:  God's  World,  6;  Bible  Con- 
tent, 5;  Biblical  background  3;  mis- 
sionary information  3;  questions  of 
Christian  action  5;  mental  health  2. 

This  report  runs  for  the  period  of 
March  8  through  July  5,  1959,  and  in 
this  period  there  were  two  seasonal 
emphases,  the  first  Easter,  and  the 
second  the  Vacation  Church  School. 
She  reports  that  other  uses  were  made 
of  the  AV  equipment  during  this 
period  by  the  Scout  groups  and  by 
groups  of  women,  but  for  these  no 
record  is  kept. 

This  department  would  be  pleased 
to  receive  utilization  reports  of  this 
type  from  time  to  time  and  will  try 
to  find  space  in  this  department  for 
their  publication. 

Producer  Becomes  User 

-Many  church  people  know  The  Rev. 
James  K.  Friedrich,  and  just  about  all 
the  A-V  people  of  the  churches  know 
him  as  the  president  of  Cathedral 
Films.  We  doubt  if  many  people  know 
that  he  is  also  a  teacher  of  children 
and  a  user  of  his  ovwi  and  other  audio 
and  visual  materials.  Across  his  whole 
producing  career  he  has  been  close  to 
the  church  and  its  children.  A  great 
church  grew  out  of  the  children  who 
came  to  see  religious  pictures  which 
he  showed  in  his  backyard.  The 
parents  came  to  see  what  interested 
the  children  of  the  neighborhood  so 
much,  and  he  challenged  them  to  start 
a  church  school  and  led  them  in  the 
work.  Out  of  it  grew  what  is  today 
a  great  and  influential  church.  Thus 
when  "Jin™"  tall«s  about  materials  and 
what  they  are  good  for  he  is  speaking 
out  of  vast  experience  and  deserves  to 
be  heard. 

With  his  permission,  we  want  to 
share  two  paragraphs  from  a  recent 
letter.  He  is  one  of  the  ministers  of  the 
All  Saints  Church: 

"I  had  a  wonderful  experience  one 
Sunday  at  All  Saints  in  Beverly  Hills 
with  21  little  children  from  the  first 
and  second  grades  using  Little 
Hiawatha  from  the  "Tales  of  Jiminy 
Cricket"  series.  As  you  know,  this 
series  has  the  theme  'being  The 
Church.'  The  children  were  fascinated 


by  the  picture.  I  had  no  disciplinary 
problem,  everyone  being  completely 
absorbed  in  the  picture  itself.  It  was 
the  discussion  which  followed  that 
amazed  me.  I  discovered  that  with 
this  tool  it  was  possible  to  put  some 
great  theological  truths  into  the  minds 
of  little  children  when  they  ought  to 
be  absorbing  these  ideas. 

"As  the  little  children  began  to  re- 
tell the  story  they  discovered  that 
when  Little  Hiawatha  found  that  the 
little  rabbit  didn't  want  to  fight  him 
even  if  he  gave  him  a  fair  chance,  then 
he  didn't  want  to  fight  the  little  rabbit, 
and  the  community  of  the  forest  took 
him  into  their  fellowship.  This  is  the 
way  the  church  works  with  indi- 
viduals. Children  can  make  the  trans- 
fer and  understand  the  true  function 
of  the  church  if  it  is  presented  in  this 
way.  Then  too,  those  who  were  mem- 
bers of  the  forest  family  were  animals 
of  all  kinds  and  colors.  It  didn't  make 
any  difference  who  they  were.  They 
were  now  all  a  part  of  a  great  fellow- 
ship, as  was  Little  Hiawatha,  and 
when  he  got  into  trouble  they  helped 
him.  This  again  is  the  purpose  of  the 
fellowship.  So  you  can  see  there  is  a 
great  opportunity  to  teach  the  funda- 
mental lessons  of  the  Christian  faith  to 
little  children  with  these  wonderful 
A-V  tools." 


Filmstrip  Notes 

The  JIMINY  CRICKET  series  by 
Cathedral  Films,  Inc.,  Burbank,  Calif., 
is  in  color;  has  LP  records;  utilization 
guides;  and  the  famous  Walt  Disney 
type  of  art.  There  are  six  titles  in 
Series  I:  The  Tortoise  and  The  Hare; 
The  Brave  Little  Tailor;  Little  Hia- 
watha;   Pluto's   Fledgling;    The    Ugly 


Duckling;  and  A  Ducky  Decision.  The 
color  cartoons  are  enhanced  by  back- 
ground music  and  Jimmy  Cricket  nar- 
rates each  tale  —  which  tries  to  tie  in 
some  aspect  of  the  Gospel  as  well  as 
entertain.  Excellent  technical  quali- 
ties; good  utilization  possibilities  in 
vacation  church  schools;  in  week-day 
schools,  in  clubs  of  all  kinds;  in  camps; 
and  in  church  school  by  those  who 
favor  this  indirect  and  ingratiating  way 
of  presenting  moral  and  religious 
truths.  Set  price,  $41.85. 

Extended  comments  are  not  possible 
in  the  space  available,  and  I  shall  use 
three  quality  ratings:  excellent,  good, 
fair.  We  regret  that  we  can't  justify 
these  evaluations. 

Mary's  Pilgrim  Thanksgiving  is  a 
34-frame,  full  color  art,  captioned  film- 
strip  telling  of  a  Pilgrim  girl's  adven- 
tures on  the  first  American  Thanks- 
giving in  the  fall  of  1621.  The  picture* 
are  good;  the  captions  fine;  the  whole 
job  useful  with  Juniors  in  church  and 
school  when  trying  to  make  real  the 
times  and  origin  of  the  first  Thanks- 
giving. The  price  is  |6.00;  producer  is 
SVE,  1345  Diversey  Parkway,  Chicago 
14,  111. 

Another  SVE  production  is  Bar- 
bara's Happy  Christmas.  In  40  frames 
of  good  color  photography  and  a  nicely 
recorded  script,  this  filmstrip  tells  how 
Barbara,  a  seven-year-old,  was  taken 
from  a  children's  home  by  a  family  for 
Christmas.  It  will  be  useful  with  chil- 
dren, to  show  them  how  fortunate 
that  they  have  homes;  useful  with 
adults  to  show  them  how  much  love 
means  to  children  and  how  they  must 
share  it.  LP  record  plus  guide  is  $8.50.

The  Society  for  Visual  Education  an- 
nounces the  resumption  of  publication  of 
its  "Visual  Review,"  free,  on  a  quarterly 
basis,  beginning  this  Fall.  Published  as 
an  annual  from  1926  to  1947,  this  house 
organ  succeeded  an  early  (1920)  pioneer 
magazine,  "Visual  Education,"  which  was 
merged  into  "The  Educational  Screen"  at 
the  end  of  1925.  Nelson  L.  Green,

Cathedral  Moves 

Effective  October  1,  Cathedral  Films, 
Inc.,  moved  into  its  newly  remodeled 
two-story  building  at  2921  West  Aleme- 
da  St.,  Burbank.  This  is  just  four  blocks 
from  its  former  location,  taken  over  by 
the  new  Golden  State  Freeway.  This  is 
the  second  time  a  freeway  development 
forced  Cathedral  to  move  to  a  larger  and 
better  location.  The  new  air-conditioned 
headquarters  includes  more  than  12,000 
sq.  ft.  and  is  directly  across  from  the 
new  NBC  television  city.  According  to 
Dr.  James  K.  Friedrich,  Cathedral  presi- 
dent, "The  upsurge  of  religious  interest 
throughout  the  nation,  plus  the  increasing 
eagerness  of  churches  and  other  religious 
organizations  to  incorporate  audio-visuals 
in  their  curriculum  and  programs,  make 
it  necessary  to  do  everything  we  can  to 
meet  this  demand."

Educators  will  applaud  Tclcclro  tape  re- 
corders for  their  fidelity  of  recording  and 
playback,  for  the  lightness  and  ruggedness 
that  makes  them  ideal  for  educational  appli- 
cations. And,  their  incredibly  low  prices  .  .  . 
as  low  as  79.95  .  .  .  makes  them  economical 
enough  to  fit  into  the  most  stringent  budget.

Cover  Scene 

Our  church  -  centered  winter 
landscape,  so  suited  to  the  season, 
is  from  "Stories  About  Our  Christ- 
mas Traditions,"  a  sound  filmstrip

scribed in  the  "Current  Materials" 
departinent  in  this  issue. 

Review  and  Forecast — 59/60 

The  meetings  and  the  shows,  the 
heraldry  and  the  awards  —  they 
stand  out  on  the  surface  for  all  to 
see.  But  for  1959,  what  of  the  strong 
and  silent  current  beneath,  and 
where  will  it  take  us  next  year,  .  .  ? 

For  this  December  issue.  Educa- 
tional Screen  and  Audiovisual 
Guide  asked  the  help  of  some  emi- 
nent AV  people  in  totting  up  the 
activities  of  the  past  year  and  in 
plotting  the  probable  course  for 
1960. 

These  articles  underline  the  vi- 
tality in  this  field.  Progress  is  not 
a  placid  thing,  and  since  the  word 
itself  connotes  new  things  one  can 
see  how  the  surface  will  be  ruffled 
if  only  by  the  frequently-encoun- 
tered resistance  to  change.  The 
great  majority  of  progressive  minds 
in  AV  will  carry  the  day  here.  Con- 
cerning new  ideas  and  new  tech- 
niques, there  is  inuch  evidence  of 
alertness  and  a  readiness  to  judge 
on  iTierit  alone.  Note,  for  example, 
the  reference  to  teaching  iTiachines 
in  the  following  articles. 

The  response  of  AV  to  the  chal- 
lenge of  NDEA,  we  hope,  is  a 
portent  of  the  fresh  attitudes  and 
lively  reactions  of  audiovisual  peo- 


ple the  country  over.  The  coming 
year  is  certain  to  tes't  these  quali- 
ties.

Machines 
For 
Your 
Future? 


Paul   C    Reed 


For  audiovisual  people  who  like  to  think,  there's  plenty  of  stimula- 
tion in  the  reviews  and  previews  of  this  special  issue.  But  we  opine 
that  thinking  men  will  get  their  biggest  challenge  from  Robert 
Snider's  article  about  "DAVI  and  the  Future,"  and  more  specifically 
from  the  part  that  quotes  James  Finn.  Here  is  the  making  of  a 
revolution  that  could  place  audiovisual  thinking  and  people  into  an 
entirely  new  field  and  context. 

Most  audiovisual  equipment— the  still  and  motion  picture  pro- 
jectors, the  recorders  and  record  players,  the  radios  and  television 
receivers— are  products  of  technology.  The  audiovisual  specialist's 
unique  function  in  education  has  been  to  study  and  learn  all  there  is 
to  know  about  audiovisual  tools  and  to  help  teachers  adapt  and 
apply  these  tools  to  the  tasks  of  teaching.  No  other  specialist  in 
education  has  been  so  close  to  technological  developments.  No  other 
specialist  has  explored  so  many  educational  frontiers. 

One  of  the  most  exciting  new  technological  advances  in  teaching 
and  learning  is  the  use  of  mechanical  or  electro-mechanical  devices 
known  as  teaching  machines.  The  problem  for  audiovisual  people 
is  that  these  challenging  devices  are  not  audiovisual  equipment, 
and  automated  teaching  methods  have  nothing  whatsoever  in  com- 
mon with  audiovisual  methods  of  teaching.  Audiovisual  teaching 
and  automated  teaching  involve  completely  different  theories. 
They're  not  opposed  or  contradictory,  they're  just  completely  dif- 
ferent. 

There  you  have  the  problem.  Should  these  new  technological  de- 
vices for  teaching  and  learning  be  the  concern  of  audiovisual  spe- 
cialists? Dr.  Finn  says  that  this  is  a  matter  of  the  field  growing  up, 
a  matter  of  redefining  audiovisual  education  to  include  learning  ma- 
chines and  presumably  any  other  new  technological  developments 
that  have  applications  in  teaching.  Maybe  it  should  be  expected  as 
normal  evolution  that  audiovisiuil  thinking  and  organization  will 
become  integrated  into  larger  groupings,  that  it  will  not  remain  the 
highly  specialized  and  differentiated  field  it  has  been.  To  some 
extent  this  has  already  happened. 

In  many  schools  and  school  systems,  the  practical  working  defini- 
tion of  audiovisual  was  broadened  when  radio  and  television  came 
along.  Audiovisual  became  a  part  of  a  communications  concept. 
Of  course  there  are  still  situations  where  AV  people  resent  television 
and  try  to  pretend  it  doesn't  exist,  but  through  no  logic  can  it  be 
claimed  that  television  is  not  audiovisual.  In  other  school  systems 
Audiovisual  Departments  have  become  Departments  of  Instruc- 
tional Materials.  It  is  the  broad  concern  of  these  departments  to 
select,  distribute,  and  help  teachers  make  use  of  all  of  the  materials 
of  instruction,  all  kinds  of  books,  maps  and  globes  as  well  as  the 
traditional  audiovisual  materials.  There's  logic  to  this  kind  of  think- 
ing, too. 

Now  how  do  you  fit  teaching  machines  into  the  audiovisual 
future?  We  don't  know  at  this  point,  but  we're  going  after  more 
information.  We're  going  to  see  what  these  machines  look  like  at 
the  DAVI  and  other  conventions.  We're  going  to  talk  to  people  and 
get  the  book  that  Dr.  Snider  mentioned.  And  we're  going  to  write  to 
W.  R.  Deutsch,  Publication  Manager,  4361  Firestone  Boulevard, 
South  Gate,  California,  and  ask  him  if  he'll  put  us  on  the  mailing 
list  for  the  "Automated  Teaching  Bulletin." 

Maybe  next  time  there's  a  problem  like  this,  we  won't  have  to 
think  about  it;  we'll  just  get  the  answer  from  a  machine.

At  the  Blue  Island,  Illinois,  Community  High  School, 
District  218,  William  Liska,  Audio- Visual  Coordinator  says: 


'Our  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  stand  up  to  160  boy  operators, 
run  5000  showings  a  year  without  oiling." 


"Projectors  get  a  severe  workout  under  our  heavy  audio- 
visual schedules.  Youngsters  who  run  them  have  vary- 
ing attitudes  about  care.  So  the  operating  simplicity  and 
ruggedness  of  a  Pageant  are  important  features  to  us. 

"Constant  hard  usage  by  so  many  people  would  also 
make  it  next  to  impossible  to  keep  up  with  lubrication 
and  maintenance  records.  That's  why  we  place  such  high 
value  on  the  lubrication-free  feature  of  the  Pageant." 


Perhaps  you  would  like  to  see  how  easy  it  is  to  operate 
this  sturdy  projector  that  ends  oiling  headaches  for- 
ever. Your  Kodak  A-V  dealer  will  demonstrate.  He'll 
also  show  you  how  the  Pageant  throws  40%  brighter 
pictures  on  the  screen  at  sound  speed  .  . .  how  it  fills  the 
hall  with  distinct  sound  that  you  can  control.  Or  write 
today  for  Bulletin  V3-22  that  tells  you  all  about  Kodak 
Pageant  16mm  Sound  Projectors.

Our  Future  Stake  i 


i 


by  William  B.  Sanborn,  Ed  D. 


X  HE  following  are  a  few  points  of  concern  to 
me  as  one  of  many  individuals  whose  profession 
is  the  field  of  instructional  materials.  Some  of 
these  observations  may  not  please  you,  you  may 
not  agree,  but  one  thing  seems  apparent:  in  re- 
cent years  at  many  conferences  and  in  many  of 
our  professional  journals,  things  are  said,  points 
made,  concepts  pushed  that  are  most  hkely  to  be 
well  accepted  and  to  please  the  listener  or  read- 
er. Few  statements  are  made  that  would  be 
•  termed  objectively  harsh,  or  professionally  criti- 
cal. This  is  unfortunate. 

These  are  rapidly  changing  times.  If  anything, 
those  of  us  in  the  field  of  instructional  materials 
are  much  too  complacent  in  terms  of  thinking  the 
'public'  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  our  methods, 
techniques  and  tools  simply  because  we  have 
known  their  value  for  over  20  years.  We  are  also 
too  hesitant  regarding  an  objective,  honest,  pro- 
fessional exhange  of  data  and  information  on  ma- 
jor issues  and  desirable  changes  needed  in  the 
field  of  instructional  materials.  This  is  probably 
the  product  of  heavy  work  schedules,  not  lack  of 
interest.  Audiovisual  education  is  not  a  field  des- 
titute of  materials,  techniques,  or  equipment.  On 
the  contrary,  we  are  now  swamped  with  mate- 
rials and  equipment,  with  several  competing 
manufacturers  for  almost  any  specific  type  of 
equipment  and  with  an  incredible  overlapping 
of  duplicate  curriculum  coverage  in  dozens  of 
areas  and  subjects  from  the  16mm  film  and 
35mm  filmstrip  producers. 

Instructional  materials  are  key  parts  of  any 
curriculum  situation,  in  all  teaching-learning 
situations  that  exist  by  the  thousands  in  the 
public  schools,  colleges  or  universities;  the  armed 
forces,  and  business  and  industry.  The  basic 
grass  roots  issue  facing  education  as  a  whole  in 
the  United  States  is  of  prime  importance  to  all 


of  us  in  instructional  materials,  whether  it  be  the 
superintendent  of  schools,  director  of  audio- 
visual education,  teacher,  equipment  manufac- 
turer, materials  producer  or  the  vendor.  It  is  a 
somewhat  unique  situation  of  interdependence. 
Here  are  a  few  current  and  basic  factors. 

There  is  without  doubt  more  national  con- 
cern now  about  education  than  at  any  time  in 
our  history.  We  are  in  the  throes  of  either  suf- 
fering or  recovering  from  "Sputnikitus"  or  tlu 
"Russian  D-Ts."  The  Russian  school  system  is 
a  very  realistic  threat  and  challenge,  not  from 
the  standpoint  of  possessing  any  superior  stu- 
dents or  teachers,  but  because  of  the  specificity 
of  student  selection  and  the  over-all  structure 
of  the  school  system.  We  are  in  a  period  of 
questioning  and  evaluation  of  the  United  States 
educational  system  —  which  has  some  startling 
differences  between  the  states.  We  are  offered 
an  abundance  of  remedies  issuing  from  profes- 
sional educators,  lay  boards  of  education,  "sphnt- 
er"  professional  groups,  sensationalists,  business 
and  industry.  Any  educational  system  can  be  im- 
proved upon.  One  thing  is  important  however: 
U.  S.  education  is  certainly  not  as  bad  as  pic- 
tured by  highly  colored,  'out  of  context'  reports. 

Of  importance  is  the  fact  that  the  public  is 
interested  in  education,  in  our  schools,  their 
programs,  methods  and  materials.  A  few  years 
ago  articles  concerning  schools  were  buried  on 
the  back  pages  of  the  newspapers  and  magazines. 
Today  schools  and  education  are  front  page 
news— and  this  is  as  it  should  be.  Whenever  the 
public  becomes  interested  in  our  schools  the 
ultimate  benefactor  is  the  child. 

This  period  of  concern  and  scrutiny  may  re- 
veal some  shortcomings  but  it  also  reveals  the 
rich  strength  and  depth  of  our  educational  sys- 
tem.

Today  we  also  find  increasing  competition  for 
school  time.  To  be  blunt,  the  curriculum  is 
crowded.  Under  such  conditions  we  can  afford  to 
use  only  those  techniques  and  materials  of  great- 
est proven  value,  the  most  efficient  and  effective 
and  of  highest  quality.  The  instructional  mate- 
rials field  now  has  assumed  such  depth  in  terms 
of  availability  that  there  is  no  reason  to  accept 
or  use  materials  which  are  not  outstanding.  There 
should  be  no  room  for  mediocre  materials. 

A  potential  change  rests  with  our  traditional 
relief  in  a  'general  education  for  all.'  This  may 
be  severely  modified  in  years  to  come  with 
much  greater  attention  to  specialization  or  chan- 
nehng  of  interest  tendencies  in  the  elementary 
evel.  This  is  a  provoking  challenge  for  the 
future  in  terms  of  new  and  fresh  materials 
perhaps  of  radically  different  format. 

Today  the  importance  of  instructional  audio- 
visual materials  portends  the  greatest  potential 
in  the  history  of  the  field.  No  aspect  of  education 
has  grown  so  fast  in  so  few  years  and  met  with 
such  widespread  professional  and  public  accept- 
ance. Now  the  National  Defense  Education  Act 
ends  significance  to  the  values  and  merits  of 
such  techniques,  materials,  and  equipment  on  a 
national  level.  Because  of  this  fine  potential  it 
seems  that  this  is  also  the  time  to  be  extremely 
cautious.  If  ever  there  was  a  time  for  instruc- 
tional materials  experts  to  be  alert,  thoroughly 
wofessional,  and  not  to  over-sell  or  over-stimu- 
ate,  this  is  it.  We  need  to  stress  in  our  contacts 
he  term  instructional  materials,  and  the  rich 
variety  of  materials  involved.  This  is  a  much 
more  accurate  term  in  light  of  current  broad 
hinking  of  the  field  than  the  term  'audiovisual.' 
Also,  audiovisual  is  still  misunderstood  by  many 
of  the  lay  public  as  automatically  associated  with 
movies  for  kids.'  Of  course,  nothing  could  be 
further  from  the  truth  since  the  field  involves 
many  different  materials  and  techniques  beside 
■;hose  inherent  in  the  16mm  educational  film. 

In  view  of  the  foregoing  it  appears  that  re- 
nforcement  is  needed.  We  are  talking  about 
professional  teaching  tools  and  techniques,  they 
are  aids,  not  ends,  means  not  goaty,  helps  not 

Educational  .Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  IWQ 


crutches  for  poor  teaching.  They  are  not  de- 
signed to  replace  but  to  help  the  teacher.  They 
are  extraordinarily  versatile  yet  not  panacea.  We 
do  not  advocate  Canned  Education  terminating 
in  Mechanized  Matriculation,  nor  are  we  in  the 
education  business  for  baby-sitting  or  entertain- 
ing. We  know  these  are  powerful,  effective,  ef- 
ficient tools  in  the  hands  of  skilled  teachers. 
But  do  not  be  complacent— many  people  need 
intelligent  interpretation  of  the  meaning  of  in- 
structional materials  and  audiovisual  education. 
Certainly  the  foregoing  is  not  original  nor  new; 
these  remarks  have  been  the  standard  stock-in- 
trade   of    the    audiovisual    specialist   for   years.

They  are  simple,  accurate,  valid  statements  and 
should  not  be  eclipsed  by  advanced  electronics! 

There  are  some  disturbing  factors  within  oiu- 
own  profession.  Teacher  recruitment  and  train- 
ing is  at  a  point  of  decline.  Due  to  low  salary 
and  in  some  areas  low  professional  status,  we 
are  not  attracting  many  desirable  people  to  edu- 
cation. Remember,  the  classroom  teacher  is  still 
the  most  important  element  of  an  instructional 
program.  In  many  teacher- training  institutions 
good  solid  training  in  audiovisual  and  instruc- 
tional techniques  has  become  lost  or  hybridized 
within  a  confused  welter  of  methods  and  ad- 
ministration courses.  Much  of  this  teacher  train- 
ing has  become  "self-centered"  rather  than  "com- 
munity-centered" —  the  true  role  of  the  good 
teacher.  In  some  instances  prospective  teachers 
may  be  taught  by  instructors  who  have  had  no 
actual  experience  in  public  school  education  or 
who  were  associated  with  it  many  years  ago  and 
let  few  new  ideas  permeate  yellowed  lecture 
notes.  Teachers  may  be  trained  on  a  pink-cloud 
basis,  keyed  to  idealized  conditions  which  well 
may  not  exist  on  most  practical  teaching  jobs. 
Many  in-service  offerings  need  overhauling  to 
become  more  evaluation  and  utilization-centered 
than  overtly  concerned  with  equipment  opera- 
tion. Those  state  teacher  training  institutions 
with  audiovisual  unit  requirements  for  teacher 
certification  are  to  be  congratulated. 

There  are  some  areas  of  possible  trends  in  the 
future  that  need  our  support  and  a  cooperative 
watchful  eye.  Here  are  a  few: 

1.  Because  the  American  people  are  demanding 
it,  there  is  a  swing  back  toward  the  emphasis 


on  the  3-R's.  This  is  the  trend,  and  the  social 
sciences  and  arts  will  for  a  time  take  a  back 
seat.  This  does  not  mean  that  we  should 
abandon  the  perfection  of  better  teaching  tools 
in  these  fields,  for  we  will  alwavs  need  social 
scientists  and  artists. 

2.  We  may  see  a  marked  interest  in  the  simpler 
type  of  instructional  aid  with  emphasis  upon 
local  production  in  terms  of  slides,  films  and 
overhead  materials.  With  present  inexpensive 
and  automatic  35mm  and  16mm  cameras 
coupled  with  available  film  emulsions,  excel- 
lent local  teacher-made  units  can  be  produced. 
We  need  more  localized  audiovisual  material. 

3.  An-ll-month-school-year  may  become  a  real- 
ity in  the  future  in  order  to  make  better  use 
of  the  public  investment  in  school  plants  and 
to  intensify  and  speed  up  the  educational 
process   as  a  whole. 

4.  There  will  be  greater  interest  in  the  tech- 
niques of  evaluation  of  instructional  materials. 
This  has  been  a  neglected  aspect  of  our  field, 
and  now  with  a  market  literally  swamped 
with  materials,  the  need  for  effective  evalua- 
tion techniques  is  more  apparent. 

■5.  We  will  see  markedly  improved  school  plants 
in  terms  of  basic  audiovisual  installations  and 
provisions.  We  will  see  teacher-desk-tcaching 
stations;  i.e.  the  teacher's  desk  as  a  focal  point 
of  both  projected,  audio,  and  television  ac- 
tivities. These  units  will  be  an  integral  part 
of  the  desk  or  immediate  area.  Room  darken- 
ing provisions  will  become  a  standard  fixtiu-e. 

6.  There  should  be  a  growth  in  filmstrip  use, 
both  in  silent  captioned  and  the  sound  types. 
In  terms  of  coverage  and  over-all  quality, 
filmstrips  represent  one  of  education's  best 
instructional  buys. 

7.  Much  more  in  the  field  of  realia  and  specimen 
materials  will  be  included  or  emphasized  with- 
in the  concept  of  audiovisual  education.  Al- 
though in  the  science  fields,  audiovisual 
education  is  the  logical  source  for  fine  circula- 
tion sets  of  fossils,  crystals,  minerals,  rocks, 
ores,  mounted  plant  and  animal  materials,  and 
seashells,  to  mention  a  few.  We  learn  much 
through  the  tactile  sense;  it  has  been  neglect- 
ed in  terms  of  well  organized  potential. 

8.  Educational  television  is  here  to  stay,  but  in 
just  what  form  no  one  knows.  Closed-circuit 
TV  will  evolve  as  a  highly  useful  and  special- 
ized technique  and  should  be  divorced  from 
the  stereotyped  concept  of  'educational  TV.' 
Educational  TV  remains  in  an  experimental 
stage,  and  we  must  overcome  certain  state- 
ments and  inaccurate  publicity  given  to  the 
media  at  the  outset.  It  is  another  interesting, 
valuable,  instructional  tool.  It  has  its  place. 

9.  The  importance  of  the  16mm  film  will  con- 
tinue, and  we  should  see  some  imaginative 
and  powerful  changes  in  format.  We  should 
reject  films  that  are  not  good  solid  instruc- 
tional films  easily  justified  in  terms  of  teach- 
er and  class  time.  The  arty,  bizarre  and  off- 
beat films  should  be  evaluated  very  carefully 
indeed. 

10.  The  Language  Laboratory  is  with  us  (al- 
though it  is  not  a  new  idea )  and  the  next  few 
vears  should  reveal  much  about  the  different 
types  of  equipment  best  keyed  to  do  the  par- 


640 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  19.i9 


ticular  teaching  job  at  a  given  level.  We  have 
much  to  learn,  and  so  do  the  language  instruc- 
tors in  terms  of  use  and  advising  on  the  sub- 
ject. Here  is  an  example  of  cooperation  needed 
between  audiovisual  and  subject  specialists, 
and  the  manufacturer. 
11.  As  an  over-all  trend,  the  audiovisual  educa- 
tion field  will  both  grow  and  fuse  within  the 
curriculum  to  a  degree  unheard  of  at  present. 
There  are  a  few  areas  where  there  is  marked 
need  for  cooperation  between  educators,  pro- 
ducers, manufacturers,  and  vendors  or  repres- 
entatives. All  should  work  together  to  pro- 
mote the  field  as  one  of  basic  instructional 
materials. 

Each  year  there  is  a  waste  amounting  to  mil- 
lions of  dollars  of  sponsored  films  ostensibly  pro- 
duced for  direct  or  indirect  classroom  use.  In 
recent  years  there  have  been  some  welcomed 
examples  of  sponsored  films  which  have  done 
a  .superlative  job  in  the  classroom;  example 
Ford's  The  American  Cowboy  and  General  Pet- 
roleum's In  The  Beginning.  However,  as  a  whole, 
"sponsored  films "  are  in  need  of  more  accurate 
focus  if  school  consumption  is  sincerely  desired. 
\Ve  need  and  can  use  good  quality  materials 
from  business  and  industry. 

We  need  to  spread  the  word  that  the  schools 
themselves  are  not  the  only  users  or  believers  in 
the  techniques  of  audiovisual  education!  We 
need  to  cite  the  fine  audiovisual  programs  con- 
ducted in  many  branches  of  the  government  such 
as  the  National  Park  Service  and  the  Armed 
Forces,  the  outstanding  in-service  training  pro- 
grams of  innumerable  major  business  firms  and 
industries,  and  the  many  programs  in  the  religi- 
ous field. 

We  also  have  the  problem— which  affects  us  all 
—of  what  is  the  future  for  the  "audiovisual  deal- 
er." This  is  the  firm  that  is  reliable,  demonstrates 
the  equipment,  has  adequate  repair  facilities,  and 
yet  is  consistently  outbid  on  equipment  by  the 
corner  drug  store.  The  bid  system  is  important, 
but  so  is  service  and  the  repair  and  maintenance 
of  equipment.  Repair  and  maintenance  should 
be  as  important  to  a  prospective  purchaser  as  the 
equipment  itself. 

Manufacturers  and  representatives  should  not 
be  reluctant  to  pass  on  a  good  idea  or  technique 
they  have  observed  in  some  other  city,  college  or 
university.  Some  manufacturers'  representatives 
are  in  a  superb  position  to  come  in  contact  with 
more  different  types  of  audiovisual  programs  and 
ideas  than  any  of  us  who  work  in  the  field  of  the 
teaching-administrative  side. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  aspect  of  coopera- 
tion is  one  that  cannot  be  stated  in  delicate  terms. 
It  is  the  marked  need  for  more  functional  audio- 
visual education  equipment.  The  best  way  to 
promote  any  idea  or  technique  is  to  make  it  as 
easy,  simple  and  foolproof  as  possible  for  the  po- 
tential consumer  and  user.  This  is  not  the  case 
with  present  audiovisual  equipment.  For  the 
most  part  it  is  cumbersome,  difficult  or  unstand- 
ardized  in  operation,  unattractive,  noisy,  and  not 
up  to  what  American  engineering  has  done  in 
countless  similar  equipment  and  appliance  fields. 
For  example,  take  four  current  models  of  differ- 
ent 16mm  motion  picture  projectors  and  put  be- 
side them  the  same  make  manufactured  fifteen 


years  ago.  Note  any  difference?  Hardly  any.  Pro- 
jectors have  simply  not  changed,  other  than  a 
series  of  color  and  knob  placement  faceliftings 
and  some  desirable  internal  mechanism  improve- 
ments. Essentially  the  projectors  of  today  are  the 
same  as  fifteen  years  ago,  and  they  are  replete 
with  the  same  problems  and  limitations.  Now, 
turn  to  another  field.  Take  as  an  example,  vac- 
uum cleaners  and  compare  them  with  their  fif- 
teen-year-old counterparts.  The  difference  is 
obvious;  it  is  startling! 

This  is  a  period  in  which  we,  should  foster 
integrity  and  trust  in  audiovisual  education  and 
instructional  materials  between  educator,  pro- 
ducer, manufacturer  and  representative.  This  is 
a  situation  where  mutual  cooperation  is  valid; 
you  cannot  please  everyone  but  we  should  be 
able  to  please  more  than  we  have.  We  can  prog- 
ress only  if  we  continue  the  purposeful,  objective 
exchange  of  data  and  ideas  between  experienced 
and  practicing  personnel.  Audiovisual  education 
is  on  the  threshold  of  major  advances  and  new 
depths  of  use  and  public  acceptance,  but  we 
must  proceed  professionally.  We  all  know  what 
these  techniques  can  do,  but  a  one  story  building 
on  a  solid  foundation  is  a  better  investment  than 
a  skyscraper  on  quicksand.  For  the  most  part  this 
is  public  money;  you  pay  it  and  I  pay  it.  It  should 
be  spent  only  for  those  items  of  proven  merit. 
We  will  move  ahead,  but  at  the  same  time  let  us 
regard  the  present  high  public  and  national  inter- 
est in  instruction  as  an  opportunity  to  reinforce 
many  of  our  basic  beliefs  in  the  tools  and  tech- 
niques of  audiovisual  education.

NDEA  Title  III  -  * 

Its  Progress  An 


JL  HE  National  Defense  Education  Act  has 
been  called  the  most  significant  educational  legis- 
lation since  the  original  land  grant  laws. 

Title  III,  the  NDEA  program  for  the  acquisi- 
tion of  special  equipment  to  improve  instruction 
in  science,  mathematics,  and  modern  foreign 
l^Y      HenrV   C^    Rliarlc     Tr  languages,  has  been  hailed  for  its  national  recog- 

/  J         '  ^  }    '  nition  of  the  audiovisual  media  and  for  offering 

an  unprecedented  opportunity  for  expanding 
audiovisual  utilization. 

What's  the  score  in  one  state,  after  about  a 
year  of  experience  under  Title  III?  What  prog- 
ress can  be  reported?  What  trends  and  changes 
are  discernible?  And  what  promise  for  the  future 
can  be  detected? 

The  story  in  the  state  of  Oregon: 

Expenditures  of  more  than  $1  million  have 
been  approved  in  410  applications  from  139 
school  districts,  located  in  31  of  Oregon's  36 
counties. 

About  20  percent  of  these  expenditures  are 
going  into  audiovisual  equipment  and  materials, 
and  the  percentage  is  expected  to  rise. 

Significant  local  and  state-level  activities  are 
taking  place,  and  important  trends  are  beginning 
to  emerge. 

Title  III  activities  in  Oregon  really  got  under 
way  with  completion  of  the  state's  Plan  for  par- 
ticipation which  was  accepted  by  the  U.  S.  Office 
of  Education  on  February  16.  Development  of 
the  Plan,  however,  started  immediately  following 
passage  of  NDEA  and  involved  work  with  advis- 
ory groups  and  consultants  extending  for  some 
months.  A  new  Instructional  Services  Section  of 
•  the    Department    was    organized    to    administer 

Title  III,  Title  V-A  (Guidance  and  Counseling), 
and  several  other  special-service  programs  and  to 
coordinate  activities  with  other  sections. 

Title  III  has  two  parts:  the  acquisitions  pro- 
gram and  a  separate  program  for  improvement 
of  supervision  and  related  services  in  the  NDEA 
subjects.  In  Oregon  it  was  decided  to  organize 

NDEA  was  no  doubt  the  most  important  happening  in 
1959  for  the  audiovisual  field.  Rather  than  attempt  a

romise  In  Oregon 


this  program  for  the  improvement  of  supervision 
through  use  of  special  consultants  in  each  of  the 
NDEA  subjects  and  in  the  broad  field  of  instruc- 
tional materials.  First  activities  of  the  new  sec- 
tion were  directed  toward  organizing  the  state's 
system  for  the  acquisitions  program,  while  per- 
sonnel for  the  consultant  activities  were  sought 
and  plans  matured  for  their  functions. 

Since  February  16,  Title  III  affairs  in  Oregon 
have  moved  ahead  rapidly.  A  comprehensive 
guide  to  the  program  was  written,  and  the  neces- 
sary application,  record,  administrative  and  fi- 
nancial systems  and  forms  established  by  mid- 
March.  Regional  conferences  on  project  planning 
and  apphcation  procedures  were  held  in  early 
April.  Two  application  periods,  covering  1958-59 
and  1959-60  fiscal  year  fund  allocations,  have 
been  completed  and  a  third  period  is  being  held 
in  December  as  a  supplementary  period  for  fur- 
ther 1959-60  allocations. 

Speed  was  necessary  if  Oregon  schools  were 
to  make  effective  matching  use  of  local  funds  for 
1958-59  before  the  end  of  the  school  fiscal  year 
on  June  30.  The  '58-'59  application  period  was 
deadlined  April  17;  by  late  May  all  participating 
districts  had  received  project  approvals  and  ac- 
quisition ordering  was  in  full  swing.  It  was  thus 
possible  to  double  the  effect  of  nearly  $150,000 
of  '58-'59  local  funds,  resulting  in  total  project 
expenditures  of  approximately  $300,000  in  less 
than  five  months. 

A  second  application  period,  for  '59-'60  funds, 
was  held  immediately,  deadlined  May  29.  This 
immediate  second  round  provided  evaluation  of 
Oregon  projects  and  early  decisions  for  action  by 
the  school  districts  in  late  July  and  early  August, 
thus  allowing  time  for  acquisition  of  project 
equipment  early  in  tlie  '59-'60  school  year.  Ex- 
penditures of  $711,000  have  been  approved,  with 
$83,000  more  tentatively  assigned. 

Many  Oregon  districts  have  already  been  re- 
imbursed for  '58-'59  project  expenditures  and  a 
good  many  have  received  and  are  now  using 
some  of  their  '59-'60  acquisitions  despite  the  in- 
evitable procurement  and  shipping  delays. 

Of  the  approximately  $1  million  in  federal  and 
local  district  funds  so  far  approved  for  expendi- 
ture, science  has  received  $631,000,  mathematics 
$194,00,  and  modern  foreign  languages  $184,000. 

Nearly  $500,000  in  federal  funds  for  fiscal 
59-'60  remains  to  be  allocated  to  districts,  since 


a  supplementary  allotment  of  nearly  $330,000  for 
Oregon  was  contained  in  the  NDEA  '58-'59  sup- 
plementary appropriation  passed  by  Congress  in 
July.  Since  '58^'59  federal  funds  carry  over  for 
matching  with  local  district  money  in  the  '59-'60 
applications,  much  of  the  Oregon  '59-'60  need  is 
being  met  from  '58-'59  federal  funds.  Thus  there 
is  a  potential  of  nearly  another  $1  million  for 
NDEA  expenditures  in  Oregon  during  '59-'60, 
and  any  unexpended  federal  funds  will  again 
carry  over  to  '60-'61. 

It  is  too  early  for  any  detailed  analysis  or  eval- 
uation of  NDEA  Title  III  eflFects  in  Oregon,  but 
some  important  trends  are  becoming  apparent. 

For  the  AV  field,  it  can  be  said  that  there  is: 

1.  A  growing  interest  in  cooperative  regional 
or  area  instructional  materials  libraries.  Increas- 
ing demands  for  more  types  of  materials,  in  a 
broadened  range  of  titles  and  topics,  is  empha- 
sizing the  need  for  combined  efforts  among 
school  districts  to  establish  such  centers  close 
enough  to  their  classrooms  to  speed  availability 
yet  serve  large  enough  areas  to  provide  efficient 
utffization. 

2.  An  increasing  awareness  among  many 
school  administrators,  teachers,  and  principals 
that  good  provision  for  audiovisual  media  de- 
mands the  aid  of  persons  competent  in  the  field, 
not  only  at  the  plarming  stages  but  also  for  con- 
tinuing in-service  work  with  teachers. 

3.  Evidence  that  projects  for  the  improvement 
of  instruction  in  which  AV  persons  have  had  a 
hand  are  much  more  effectively  planned  for  the 
use  of  AV  media  than  those  projects  lacking  the 
guidance  of  a  trained  AV  person. 

Generally,  these  outcomes,  perhaps  more  sig-

nificant  than  the  provision  of  equipment,  can  be 
seen: 

1.  Emphasis  on  curriculum  change  and  devel- 
opment in  Oregon  during  the  five  years  immedi- 
ately preceding  NDEA  created  a  readiness  for 
action  to  improve  instruction  generally.  This 
"context  for  change"  has  had  a  most  noticeable 
and  significant  effect  on  Oregon's  State  Plan,  on 
administration  of  the  Plan,  and  especially  on  the 
acceptance  and  action  under  NDEA  by  local 
school  districts  and  personnel. 

2.  Oregon,  hke  the  majority  of  states,  has  long 
believed  in  the  practice  of  general  supervision, 
and  has  carried  on  very  effective  work  in  this 
area.  Title  III  is  providing  a  significant  test  of 
special  consultant  services  to  extend  the  impact 
of  this  general  supervision.  Since  this  consulta- 
tion program  is  still  in  beginning  phases,  it  is  too 
early  to  distinguish  efi^ects;  however,  the  demand 
for  services  and  the  resulting  types  of  activity  al- 
ready indicate  that  this  approach  to  the  Title  III 
improvement  of  supervision  program  may  be 
more  important  in  the  long  run  than  the  acquisi- 
tion of  any  amount  of  special  equipment  by  Ore- 
gon schools.  This  special  consultant  service  is 
offered  for  instructional  materials  areas  as  well  as 
for  each  NDEA  subject  area. 

3.  The  "spotlight  effect"  of  NDEA,  focused 
sharply  on  science,  mathematics,  and  modem 
foreign  languages,  has  brought  about  increasing 
concern  for  other  subject  areas.  Oregon  school 
administrators  generally  are  doing  their  best  to 
move  ahead  in  the  improvement  of  instruction 
in  other  key  areas  for  their  districts,  as  well  as 
participating  in  NDEA  subject  area  projects. 

4.  The  special  programs  of  national  groups  and 
of  other  NDEA  Titles  are  having  increasing 
effects  on  Title  III  activities.  The  Traveling  Sci- 
ence Teacher  Program  of  the  National  Science 
Foundation,  the  work  of  the  Physical  Science 
Study  Committee  at  M.I.T.,  and  the  activities  of 
the  Modem  Language  Association  and  the  pro- 
fessional groups  developing  materials  and  ap- 
proaches in  mathematics  are  all  cases  in  point. 


Title  VI  institutes  for  language  teachers  are 
affecting  Title  III  language  studies. 

What  does  the  future  promise  in  Oregon?  For 
the  audiovisual  field,  as  well  as  for  the  entire 
Title  III  program,  the  greatest  development  still 
lies  ahead.  How  fast  the  tremendous  potential 
for  AV  development  will  come  depends  very 
largely  on  the  effectiveness  with  which  audio- 
visualists  work  at  the  local  level  with  persons  in 
the  subject  areas  and  with  school  administrators. 
It  is  beginning  to  be  widely  recognized  that  the 
AV  person  can  be  most  helpful  and  effective  only 
if  he  participates  in  the  basic  planning  for  the  im- 
provement of  instruction,  but  he  won't  get  this 
opportunity  if  he  has  not  shown  his  value  and 
indicated  that  he  is  "ready,  willing,  and  eager." 
Although  few  school  districts  in  Oregon  have  a 
full  time  AV  person,  effective  work  is  being  done 
by  many  Oregon  AV  persons  who  spend  part  of 
their  professional  time  in  this  area. 

The  most  interesting  AV  developments  may 
well  come  in  the  field  of  language  instruction. 
Much  careful  and  cautious  development  work  is 
under  way  in  Oregon  to  fit  essential  equipment 
into  the  patterns  of  function  required  at  the  ele- 
mentary and  secondary  level  and  by  various  local 
circumstances. 

The  development  of  locally-prepared  materials 
uniquely  adapted  to  Oregon  needs  or  filling 
poorly-supplied  needs  for  visualization  in  various 
content  areas  is  also  receiving  more   attention. 

In  Oregon,  then.  Title  III  has: 

—Had  a  strong  catalytic  effect  in  bringing 
about  new  activities  of  great  promise; 

—Brought  about  the  expenditure  of  large  sums 
for  the  special  equipment  teachers  need  to  im- 
prove instruction; 

—Focused  atention  firmly  on  the  audiovisual 
media  as  essential  and  important  tools  which 
should  be  an  integral  part  of  instruction. 

Undoubtedly,  what  happens  as  the  Title  III 
promise  becomes  progress  and  then  performance 
will  have  a  marked  effect  on  the  future  course  of 
education  in  the  state.

DA VI  and  the  Future 


by  Robert  C.  Snider 


X  HE  future  of  the  audiovisual  movement 
and  the  future  of  American  education  are  so 
closely  joined  that  it  is  difficult  and  perhaps  fu- 
tile to  consider  their  futures  as  isolated  entities. 

Today  major  changes  are  taking  place  in 
American  education  and  all  of  these  changes  will 
directly  influence  our  own  field  of  audiovisual 
instruction.  Although  some  of  these  changes  have 
been  developed  and  pioneered  in  schools  by 
audiovisual  specialists,  many  of  them  are  changes 
that  have  germinated  elsewhere  and  are  growing 
to  have  considerable  effect  on  audiovisual  in- 
struction. More  and  more  audiovisual  directors 
today  are  concerned  with  problems  of  adapting 
new  technological  developments  to  the  teaching- 
learning  process. 

Whether  we  in  the  audiovisual  field  have  been 
leaders  or  followers  in  our  relationship  to  the 
total  educational  movement  is  basically  an  aca- 
demic question.  The  important  point  is  that  we 
are  an  integral  part  of  the  teaching  profession. 
Our  future  role  as  leaders  and  specialists  within 
this  profession  can  only  be  predicted  in  terms  of 
how  effectively  we  are  able  to  relate  ourselves 
to  this  profession  and  to  new  developments  with- 
in this  profession.  In  relating  ourselves  to  the 
teaching  profession,  we  have  an  increasing  re- 
sponsibihty  to  serve  as  a  bridge  between  tech- 
nology and  teachers. 

Since  it  was  established  36  years  ago,  the  De- 
partment of  Audio-Visual  Instruction  of  the  Na- 
tional Education  Association  has  been  building 
on  a  solid  foundation,  for  it  is  a  part  of  the  teach- 
ing profession  and  in  recent  years  its  growth  has 
been  phenomenal.  In  the  past  decade  DAVI  has 
become  a  firmly  established,  autonomous  depart- 
ment of  the  NEA  with  its  own  annual  national 
convention,  its  own  periodicals  and  a  member- 
ship that  is  rapidly  approaching  the  5,000  mark. 
( During  the  past  nine  years,  DAVI  membership 
has  increased  by  more  than  400  per  cent. ) 

An  excellent  liaison  between  DAVI  and  the 
teaching  profession  exists  in  a  working  relation- 
ship between  DAVI  staff  members  and  the  total 
NEA  headquarters  staff  in  Washington.  The 
executive  secretary  and  others  on  the  DAVI  na- 
tional staff  also  serve  as  staff  members  of  the 
NEA  Division  of  Audio- Visual  Instructional  Serv- 
ices. This  NEA  headquarters  unit  has  two  basic 
responsibilities:  to  promote  the  effective  use  of 
audiovisual  materials  in  the  schools  of  the  United 
States,  and  to  provide  audiovisual  services  to 
other  NEA  units. 

Because  of  its  relationship  with  the  NEA,  our 


professional  audiovisual  organization  has  an  open 
channel  of  communication  with  the  teaching  pro- 
fession and  its  many  units,  making  possible  a 
rapid  and  efficient  mutual  exchange  of  informa- 
tion. As  an  NEA  department,  DAVI,  of  course, 
is  able  to  work  directly  with  the  700,000  NEA 
members  as  well  as  with  the  other  29  depart- 
ments, 13  divisions,  and  26  commissions  and  com- 
mittees. These  combined  NEA  units,  incidentally, 
are  the  largest  publisher  of  educational  materials 
in  the  world,  a  fact  of  some  importance  to  DAVI. 
DAVI  uses  two  important  means  of  informing 
its  members  of  new  developments  in  education, 
its  publications  and  its  conventions  and  confer- 
ences. A  good  example  of  the  latter  is  the  forth- 
coming national  DAVI  convention  at  the  Nether- 
land  Hilton  hotel  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  February 
29  to  March  4,  1960.  With  its  theme,  "Concen- 
trating Educational  Forces,"  this  convention  is 
expected  to  attract  2,500  people  to  hear  such 
speakers  as  Ernest  O.  Melby  of  Michigan  State 
University  and  John  E.  Ivey,  president  of  the  re- 
cently-established Learning  Resources  Institute. 
An  added  attraction  will  be  more  than  115  com- 
mercial product  exhibits  including  such  new  de- 
velopments as  teaching  machines. 

liARLY  in  1960  DAVI  will  pubHsh  a  signifi- 
cant volume.  Teaching  Machines  and  Program- 
med Learning:  A  Source  Book,  edited  by  A.  A. 
Lumsdaine  and  Robert  Glaser.  DAVI's  decision 
to  publish  this  collection  of  major  papers  is  a  re- 
sult of  the  great  interest  its  members  have  in  the 
two  concepts  mentioned  in  the  book's  title.  And 
this  interest  on  the  part  of  DAVI  members  may 
well  be  a  guidepost  to  our  future. 

In  a  recent  paper  on  technology  and  the  in- 
structional process,  James  D.  Finn,  president- 
elect of  DAVI,  refers  to  what  he  sees  as  the  com- 
ing role  of  the  AV  director  in  relation  to  teaching 
machines  and  programmed  learning: 

"It  is  my  position  that  the  audiovisual  field  is 
in  the  easiest  position  to  help  integrate  these 
mechanisms  properly  into  the  instructional  pro- 
cess. They  are  not  primarily  audiovisual;  they 
are  primarily  technological.  The  audiovisual 
field,  I  think,  must  now  suddenly  grow  up.  We, 
the  audiovisual  speciahsts,  are,  of  all  educational 
personnel,  the  closest  to  technology  now.  We 
must,  I  think,  become  specialists  in  learning 
technology— and  that's  how  I  would  redefine 
audiovisual  education." 

You  may  or  may  not  agree  with  Dr.  Finn. 
Whatever  your  opinion,  DAVI  has  a  forum  for 
it.  The  future  of  DAVI  is  the  future  of  the 
audiovisual  field,  and  your  active  participation 
is  needed  in  both.

FORECH.S'X- 


Educational  Television 


by    Harry  J.  Skornia 


X  HE  past  year  has  been  an  encouraging  one 
for  all  who  are  interested  in  educational  televi- 
sion and  all  modem  media.  I  think  it  has  been 
equally  interesting  for  all  who  are  interested  in 
the  pressures  which  the  entire  educational  com- 
munity is  feeling  in  the  United  States. 

In  a  sense  I  feel  that  American  education  has 
been  made  the  "fall  guy"  for  the  "educational 
mess"  we're  in,  to  quote  many  hysterical  and 
otherwise  irresponsible  critics. 

Since  education  in  the  United  States  is  respon- 
sible to  local  pressures,  instead  of  being  controll- 
ed by  a  Ministry  of  Education  or  some  compar- 
able central  body  as  it  is  in  many  countries,  the 
United  States  public,  critics  and  others  cannot 
fairly  blame  the  educators,  as  "the  others"  in  this 
situation. 

It  does,  of  course,  raise  a  question  of  the  total 
problem  democracy  faces  at  all  levels:  that  of  the 
responsibility  of  those  in  charge  of  any  critical 
part  of  our  nation's  organic  system,  in  the  face  of 
"public"  pressures.  Should  school  adminstrators 
have  yielded  to  public  pressures  for  more  voca- 
tional, "adjustment,"  and  similar  courses?  Or 
should  they  have  stood  by  their  guns,  and  insisted 
on  more  disciplined  education  in  the  basic  (sci- 
ence, humanities)  sense?  Or  in  insisting  on  get- 
ting through  to  the  students  the  fact  mat  mey 
must  continue  to  study  and  learn  all  their  lives 
as  if  their  very  lives  and  freedom  depend  on  it— 
as  they  do? 

Is  a  review  of  tbis  type  of  responsibility  gener- 
ally not  in  order— not  only  in  education  but 
everywhere  in  our  culture?  By  whom  were  the 
public  pressures  exerted  on  education  shaped 
during  the  years  when  it  was  becoming  "a  mess," 
if  not  by  our  mass  media— newspapers,  radio, 
television,  movies,  and  all  the  rest? 

We  now  are  beginning  to  suspect  that  many  of 
the  concepts,  values,  and  'lessons"  which  these 
media  have  been  conditioning  the  public  with 
may  not  necessarily  have  been  so  good  after  aU. 
But  we  have  not  yet  begun  to  raise  adequately 
the  question  as  to  whether  the  value  systems 
transmitted  by  these  same  media  regarding  our 
economic  and  social  systems  (constant  inflation, 
etc. )  may  not  be  as  out-of-step  with  our  times  as 
our  education  system  has  been.  What  is  educa- 
tion's role  in  this  area? 


If  commerce-operated  mass  media  continue  to 
assume  in  these  areas,  as  they  did  in  the  case  of 
education  and  science  until  Sputnik  and  Lunik 
came  along,  that  ours  is  "the  best  possible  sys- 
tem," how  long  will  it  be  before  the  economic, 
social,  and  social  science  equivalents  of  Sputnik 
and  Lunik  will  burst  above  our  heads? 

If  sponsored  mass  media  do  not  show  concern 
in  these  areas,  educators  and  educational  uses  of 
these  media  must.  I  see  this  as  a  more  serious 
function  of  educational  television,  the  other  new 
media,  and  education  itself,  than  any  of  the  ex- 
periments in  detail  or  methodology  which  we 
now  hear  about. 

Education  may  have  abdicated  its  responsibil- 
ity once  under  public  pressures  and  tastes  which 
were  shaped  by  industry-financed  uses. 

Has  it  learned  a  lesson  from  this?  Have  we 
learned  a  lesson  as  part  of  this  educational  struc- 
ture? Education  (which  includes  you  and  me) 
must  have  the  courage  to  resist  such  pressures 
now,  as  the  last  bastion  of  truly  basic  (not  ap- 
Ued )  analysis  of  education's  function  and  respon- 
sibility in  a  republic,  now  that  all  types  of  media 
are  available  to  it. 

I  believe  that  some  evidences  of  such  awaken- 
ing are  occurring.  That  is  why  I  began  this  arti- 
cle by  saying  that  I  am  encouraged.  Humanists 
are  finding  support  in  their  insistence  on  the  need 
to  develop  the  spiritual,  intellectual,  and  philo- 
sophical man  as  well  as  the  scientist  and  the 
technician.  Some  are  having  the  courage  to  say 
that  we  should  study  languages,  as  many  as  pos- 
sible, in  order  to  understand  our  world  better, 
and  take  wise  decisions  on  the  basis  of  this  new 
understanding— rather  than  only  to  speak  the 
language,  or  use  it  to  keep  from  getting  "gyp- 
ped" as  a  tourist,  or  as  a  technical  skill  to  enable 
us  to  earn  lots  of  money  in  a  foreign  country. 

In  the  early  days  of  educational  television 
most  of  the  money  came  from  Foundations.  This 
was  good  as  a  catalyst  and  means  of  getting  edu- 
cation started  in  the  use  of  new  tools.  It  is  not 
good  if  its  uses  are  directed  too  much  by  Foun- 
dations instead  of  by  education  itself.  Here,  too, 
there  is  evidence  that  the  educational  community 
is  awakening,  and  having  the  courage  to  say  that 
tax  money  is  what  we  need— that  if  we  want  bet- 
ter education  we  as  taxpayers  must  pay  for  it. 
Many  are  having  the  courage  to  take  issue  with 
Foundation  projects  themselves  in  many  respects. 
This,  too,  is  good.  Let  us  be  grateful  to  the  Foun- 
dations for  prodding  such  educators  into  concern 
and  activity.

education 


Finally,  some  are  even  beginning  to  say  that 
more  money  is  not  necessarily  the  answer  to  all 
education's  problems.  If  America  can  learn  that 
money  is  not  the  most  eflFective  force  in  our  lives, 
and  in  the  world,  we  will  have  gone  a  long  way. 
But  education  must  stubbornly  and  courageously 
believe  and  teach  this  if  we  are  to  avoid  "cheap 
and  dirty"  solutions  to  complex  problems. 

I  do  not  believe  that  in  educational  television 
we  have  any  panacea  for  education.  Put  me  down 
as  old  fashioned  if  you  like;  for  I  do  not  person- 
ally believe  that  learning  can  ever  be  "made 
easy"  in  the  sense  that  many  people  mean.  I  be- 
lieve that  many  of  our  learning  theories  are  no 
doubt  antiquated.  I  believe  each  of  us  can  learn 
enormously  more  than  we  have  so  far  thought 
possible.  Educational  television  and  all  sorts  of 
new  media  can  contribute  greatly  if  used  right- 
in  an  integrated  approach— ratiier  than  elbowing 
each  other  aside.  But  I  believe  that  learning  is 
essentially  discipline  (mostly  self -discipline ) . 
Just  as  great  sportsmen  can  find  no  substitute  for 
rigorous  conditioning,  body-stretching,  painful 
straining  beyond  capacity— moving  the  threshold 
ever  upward— so  I  believe  that  good  minds  and 
clear,  analytic  thinking,  can  be  realized  only  in 
the  same  way. 


I 


THEREFORE  am  not  particularly  interest- 
ed in  "how  easy  television  makes  it."  I  am  not 
even  interested  in  what  television  does  to  or  for 
teaching  as  such.  What  does  it  do  to  and  for 
learning?  And  by  learning  I  do  not  mean  the  a- 
massing  of  facts  or  odd  bits  of  information.  We 
are  confused  enough  already.  The  plethora  of 
"facts"  in  an  unrelated  jungle  of  confusion  is  a 
large  part  of  our  problem.  What  can  educational 
television  contribute  to  seeing  cause  and  effect 
relationships?  What  can  it  do  to  identify  and 
clarify  forces?  What  can  it  do  to  develop  intelli- 
gent and  rational  decision-making  in  an  age  when 
our  rational  side  is  all  too  often  by-passed? 

It  is  at  this  point  that  I  would  like  to  take  issue 
with  many  who  feel  that  television  alone  can 
teach  this  sort  of  thing.  Only  practice  under  su- 
pervision, can  do  this.  I  know  of  no  way  to  ferret 
the  irrational  out,  and  get  at  the  rational  basis  of 
a  principle,  other  than  discussion.  And  by  this  I 
mean  discussion  in  which  the  learner— the  ap- 
prentice or  disciple— himself  participates. 

I  am  not  too  worried  about  the  fact  that  "stud- 
ents can't  ask  questions"  of  the  television  teacher. 
Most  of  the  kinds  of  questions  tnost  people  are 


thinking  of  will  not  be  sorely  missed.  It  is  dia- 
logue (in  the  Socratic  sense)  that  I  mean— and 
that  is  something  which  the  eflBciency  of  televi- 
sion in  providing  demonstrations,  or  transmitting 
facts,  or  providing  contact  with  great  teachers,  to 
serve  as  a  basis  of  such  dialogue,  can  enormously 
contribute  to. 

Printing  did  not  replace  the  classroom.  Neither 
did  films  or  radio,  thank  heaven.  Neither,  uiJess 
we  lose  our  sanity,  vdll  television— at  least  at 
those  critical  ages  of  students  when  the  young 
minds  are  curious  and  idealistic  and  needing  to 
be  guided  and  tested  and  challenged  and  given 
rough  knocks. 

Perhaps  the  advent  of  television  will  cause  us 
to  study  media  as  media— and  cause  us  to  have, 
finally,  courses  in  all  the  media  to  which  humans 
are  subjected  in  our  culture.  Education  has  for 
thirty  years  sat  passively  by,  arming  students  to 
recognize  ( and  even  here  imperfectly )  phoniness 
and  irrationality  only  in  the  print  media.  The  of- 
fense (commercial  and  manipulative  uses  of 
these  media)  in  electronic  media  has  gotten  far 
ahead  of  the  defense  (the  listener  or  viewer). 
Education  has  too  long  been  blind  to  this  respon- 
sibility. It  can  no  longer  be.  It  must,  finally,  take 
an  overall  view  of  what  happens  to  the  students 
when  placed  in  contact  with  other  minds- 
through  whatever  media  is  used. 

Here,  too,  there  is  evidence  that  such  an  awak- 
ening is  occurring. 

I  believe  that  the  entrance  of  educational  tele- 
vision on  the  stage  of  education  has  been  so  dra- 
matic and  has  brought  with  it  both  so  many 
promises  and  so  many  threats,  depending  on  the 
persons  or  groups  who  judge  it,  that  it  is,  right 
now,  causing  the  hardest  look  at  education  itself 
that  has  been  given  it  since  perhaps  the  days  of 
Rousseau— and  his  efforts  to  equip  his  imaginary 
student,  Emile,  to  meet  the  problems  of  the 
world  he  would  have  to  live  in.  This,  in  fact,  may 
turn  out  to  be  educational  television's  greatest 
contribution. 

But  the  wise  uses  to  which  television  must  be 
put,  must  be  tempered  uses:  uses  tempered  by  an 
awareness  of  its  great  power,  and  its  great  dan- 
gers, as  well  as  its  great  promise.  How  well  these 
uses  emerge  depend  in  large  part  on  the  courage, 
imagination,  integrity,  and  effort  that  all  of  us— 
who  claim  or  aspire  to  exert  influence  in  its  uses 
—display  in  these  exciting  days  and  years.

A  Year  of 
Achievement 


I 


For  NAVA 


by  W.  G.  Kirtley 


In  a  recent  speech,  Charles  A.  Percy,  president 
of  Bell  &  Howell  Company,  referred  to  the  audio- 
visual industry  as  occupying  a  unique  position 
as  the  communicative  link  between  businessman, 
educator  and  citizen.  He  charged  the  industry 
with  a  responsibility  for  helping  to  alert  the  na- 
tion to  its  educational  needs  through  a  "great  cru- 
sade" to  eliminate  the  "crisis  in  education."  Since 
that  address,  the  industry  has  formally  agreed  to 
accept  Mr.  Percy's  challenge  in  a  resolution 
unanimously  passed  during  the  1959  convention 
of  the  National  Audio- Visual  Association. 

This  voluntary  action  by  practical  businessmen 
to  contribute  of  their  time  and  money  for  support 
of  a  program  to  benefit  our  nation  in  general  and 
education  in  particular,  well  illustrates,  I  feel, 
the  warm  relationship  between  the  AV  industry 
and  one  of  its  major  customers :  schools.  The  spir- 
it of  teamwork  that  exists  between  our  industry 
and  the  educational  field  is  actually  quite  extra- 
ordinary, something  altogether  foreign  to  most 
essentially  commercial  relationships.  Yet,  in  many 
ways,  its  eflFect  has  been  of  great  practical  value 
both  to  the  educator  and  the  AV  businessman. 

Glancing  back  over  the  past  12  month  period, 
a  number  of  instances  of  cooperation  come  to

mind,  accomplishments  realized  through  team 
effort  by  businessmen  working  closely  with  lead- 
ers from  the  field  of  education.  As  the  year  now 
draws  to  a  close,  I  think  it  would  be  well  to  re- 
view some  of  the  progress  we  shared  during  1959. 

A  few  years  ago  the  areas  of  new  teaching  aids 
were  deemed  "non-essential"  by  the  White  House 
Conference  on  Education,  a  heavy  blow  to  our 
industry  and  the  many  forward-looking  educa- 
tors and  educational  administrators  who  foresaw 
the  dramatic  role  that  newly  developed  and  im- 
proved teaching  aids  could  play  in  improving 
teaching.  Together  with  educational  organiza- 
tions, the  National  Audio-Visual  Association 
launched  an  exhaustive  program  aimed  at  only 
one  objective:  gaining  proper  congressional  ap- 
preciation of  the  potentials  of  new  educational 
media,  and  reflecting  this  awareness  by  appropri- 
ating the  necessary  federal  funds  to  make  these 
teaching  aids  accessible  to  schools  across  the 
country. 

The  success  of  this  effort  has  amazed  even 
those  who  were  intimately  involved  in  achieving 
it.  The  United  States  Congress  reversed  our  na- 
tional attitude  toward  new  educational  media. 
Audiovisuals  were  rightfully  lifted  out  of  the 
"frills"  category,  and  the  National  Defense  Edu- 
cation Act  is  now  making  a  great  variety  of  new 
teaching  aids  a  vital  part  of  the  teaching  profes- 
sion. 

Anyone  familiar  with  the  red  tape-clogged 
wheels  of  legislative  process  is  aware  of  how 
slowly  these  wheels  normally  turn  once  an  act 
has  actually  been  passed.  Therefore  the  next  ma- 
jor goal  of  NAVA  was  to  help  implement  NDEA. 
It  became  urgent  that  everyone  who  would  be 
concerned  with  new  Pubhc  Law  864,  both  in- 
dustry and  school  people,  understand  it  fully. 
And  it  was  important,  once  this  understanding 
was  accomplished,  that  the  appropriated  funds 
would  be  made  speedily  available. 

Our  industry  established  an  Educational  As- 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  19.59 


W.  G.  Kirtley 


sistance  Fund  to  serve  this  purpose.  Thirty-six 
manufacturer  and  producer  members  and  37 
dealer  members  of  NAVA  contributed  a  total  of 
about  $27,000  to  finance  a  number  of  urgently 
needed  projects.  Among  these  was  the  publica- 
tion of  "AV-864,"  a  handsome  booklet  which  ex- 
plained clearly  and  simply  the  audiovisual  pro- 
visions of  the  new  law.  Some  65,000  copies  have 
been  distributed. 

Representatives  of  our  association  called  upon 
46  state  departments  of  education  for  the  purpose 
of  offering  advice  on  their  state  plans,  to  help 
speed  up  their  submission  and  to  make  sure  that 
adequate  AV  provisions  were  included.  Again, 
this  activity  was  financed  through  the  Educa- 
tional Assistance  Fund. 

Quick  team  action  was  called  for  last  March 
when  the  House  Appropriations  Subcommittee, 
which  had  considered  P.L.  864  appropriations, 
unexpectedly  recommended  that  no  money  at  all 
be  appropriated  for  any  of  the  audiovisual  sec- 
tions of  the  act.  Within  twenty-four  hours  of  this 
jolting  announcement,  NAVA  had  contacted  1200 
of  its  members  and  AV  personnel  in  the  educa- 
tional field  via  air  mail  letters  and  telegrams. 
Other  groups  took  similar  action.  Reaction  was 
swift.  The  move  to  cut  the  appropriation  was  de- 
cisively beaten  on  the  House  floor. 

During  the  year,  the  audiovisual  industry, 
through  its  Association,  has  continued  to  partici- 
pate in  the  Audio-Visual  Council  on  Public  In- 
formation. NAVA  handles  the  physical  produc- 
tion and  shipping  of  council  publications  such 
as  "Gateway  to  Learning."  To  date,  200,000 
copies  of  council  publications  have  been  printed 
and  distributed.  The  council  now  has   another 


project  nearing  publication  which  will  be  of  great 
value  to  everyone  concerned  with  educational 
audiovisual  programs.  The  late  Dr.  K.  C.  Rugg 
of  Indiana  University  completed  just  before  his 
death  a  booklet  entitled  "Budgeting  for  your 
Audio-Visual  Program."  This  publication  will 
present  the  budgets  of  good  audiovisual  pro- 
grams, the  ones  which  are  well  financed,  in 
school  systems  of  different  sizes  and  localities. 
It  will  serve  as  a  model  for  school  administrators 
to  follow  and  adapt  to  their  own  school  systems. 

Though  the  Murray-Metcalf  school  construc- 
tion-teacher salary  bill  has  thus  far  failed  to  pass 
in  Congress,  it  is  nevertheless  significant  that 
through  an  effort  which  NAVA  spearheaded,  the 
bill  carries  an  amendment  to  include  instruc- 
tional materials  and  equipment.  This  further  es- 
tablishes precedent  for  the  position  that  audio- 
visual provisions  should  be  in  any  Federal  legis- 
lation relating  to  schools.  The  McNamara  school 
construction  bill,  S.  8,  includes  instructional 
materials  and  equipment  as  items  which  can  be 
purchased.  The  AV  industry  has  in  the  past,  and 
will  continue  in  the  future  to  ardently  support 
these  and  other  measures  which  promise  to 
strengthen  our  educational  system. 

As  schools  become  more  and  more  "labora- 
tories of  learning,"  the  importance  of  aids  and 
materials  grow  in  proportion.  Vigorous  effort 
must  be  exerted  to  provide  assistance  and  serv- 
ices to  all  users  of  audiovisuals  to  see  that  these 
newly  acquired  tools  are  properly  and  effectively 
utilized.  Herein  lies  the  greatest  challenge  facing 
audiovisual  businessmen  and  educators  as  we 
look  to  1960,  the  beginning  of  a  new  decade  of 
opportunity.

EFLA  in  1959 
and  in  1960 


by  Elliott  Kone 
and  Emily  Jones 


650 


Probably  the  best  word  to  describe  EFLA's  re- 
action to  the  past  year  is  "breathless."  While 
maintaining  the  regular  membership  program 
of  evaluation  cards,  bulletins.  Film  Review  Di- 
gests, infonnation  service  to  members  and  others, 
and  such  other  activities  as  conferences,  film  dis- 
tribution, and  publication  sales,  EFLA  organized 
and  presented  its  first  American  Film  Festival. 
The  Festival  has  been  well  reported  in  the  audio- 
visual magazines  and  by  word-of-mouth  from 
those  who  attended,  so  it  seems  unnecessary  here 
to  give  all  the  details.  However,  a  few  statistics 
may  be  in  order. 

Film  entries  for  the  festival  started  coming  in 
early  in  November.  When  the  dust  cleared  away 
after  the  official  closing  date  on  January  20,  we 
found  that  we  had  entry  forms  for  442  16mm 
films  and  149  filmstrips.  Thirty-five  pre-screening 
committees  sacrificed  their  time  and  eye-sight  to 
rate  the  entries  during  February,  and  from  their 
report,  250  films  and  80  filmstrips  were  selected 
for  showing  at  the  festival.  Since  each  of  the  com- 
mittees contained  at  least  six  people  (some  had 
more)  the  number  of  volunteers  involved  in  the 
pre-screening  procedure  was  about  200.  The  fes- 
tival itself  took  place  at  the  Statler  Hilton  Hotel 
in  New  York  on  April  1-4,  1959.  About  500  peo- 
ple registered,  and  many  of  them  came  back  on 
succeeding  days.  Ten  screening  rooms  were 
going  full  blast  for  three  days  and  three  rooms 
were  used  for  the  final  showing  of  award-win- 
ning films  on  Saturday.  Blue  Ribbon  Award  tro- 
phies were  given  to  45  films  and  filmstrips  at  the 
award  banquet  on  Friday  night. 

The  reaction  to  the  festival  has  been  over- 
whelmingly enthusiastic.  A  number  of  sugges- 
tions for  improving  the  rating  system  have  been 
made  and  there  were  the  inevitable  laments  from 
those  who  found  two  films  they  wanted  to  see 
running  at  the  same  time.  But  considering  it  was 
a  first  effort,  it  was  remarkably  successful,  and 
far  exceeded  the  modest  expectations  of  the 
EFLA  staff.  Perhaps  the  most  gratifying  aspect 
of  the  Festival  was  that  everybody  seemed  to  en- 
joy it. 

After-effects  of  the  Festival  are  still  being  felt. 
One  of  these  is  a  widening  view  of  the  scope  of 
the  16mm  film.  EFLA  has  always  interpreted  the 
"Educational"  in  its  title  to  mean  education  in 
the  broadest  sense,  but  there  has  been  a  tendency 
to  assume  that  we  are  concerned  only  with  class- 
room films.  A  look  at  the  list  of  32  categories  and 
five  major  areas  of  interest  in  the  festival  should 
dispel  this  idea.  Education  and  Information,  Art 
and  Culture,  Religion  and  Ethics,  Health  and 
Medicine,  and  Business  and  Industry  are  major 
areas,  in  each  of  which  EFLA  has  an  interest 
( and  members ) ;  and  the  festival  not  only  drama- 
tized that  fact,  but  also  stimulated  the  flow  of 
information  from  one  field  to  another. 

EFLA's  role  in  the  whole  audiovisual  field  is 
basically  different  from  that  of  any  other  organi- 
zation, simply  because  it  does  cut  across  the 
boundry  lines.  There  are  organizations  dealing 
with  audiovisual  programs  in  the  schools,  the 
public  library,  in  the  churches,  in  industry  and 
many  other  areas.  These  groups  work  intensively 
within  their  own  fields  and  their  work  is  invalu- 
able. But  EFLA's  program  and  interests  are  ex- 
tensive—covering all  sul?ject  areas  in  dealing  with 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  1%9 


the  film  as  a  medium  of  communication. 

Since  its  beginning  in  1943,  EFLA  has  stressed 
two  particular  parts  of  its  program:  the  critical 
appraisal  and  evaluation  of  films  ( all  films )  and 
the  problems  and  techniques  of  administering  a 
film  library  (any  film  library).  Selecting  mate- 
rials must,  of  course,  be  done  by  people  who 
know  the  area  in  which  they  are  to  be  used— but 
the  principles  of  selection  and  evaluation  remain 
the  same  for  all  groups.  Getting  materials  to  the 
users,  whether  locally,  regionally  or  nationally 
presents  similar  problems,  whether  the  films  deal 
with  elementary  arithmetic  or  advanced  interna- 
tional afi^airs.  It  is  in  service  to  all  film  users,  in 
appraising  all  kinds  of  films  and  in  encouraging 
high  quality  work  by  all  film-makers  that  EFLA's 
future  lies. 

What  about  the  immediate  future  of  1960? 
Well,  EFLA  is  now  gathering  its  strength  and 
preparing  to  plunge  into  the  Second  American 
Film  Festival  to  be  held  at  the  Barbizon  Plaza 
Hotel  in  New  York  on  April  23-27,  1960.  The 
same  general  pattern  will  be  followed,  but  there 
will  be  a  number  of  changes— we  trust  for  the 
better— in  the  rating  and  scheduhng.  Most  of 
these  are  based  on  suggestions  from  those  who 
attended  the  1959  festival  and  took  the  trouble 
to  tell  us  what  they  thought.  There  will  be  more 
opportunity  to  meet  informally  with  other  film- 
makers and  film-users,  more  coffee  hours  and 
more  discussion  sections.  Pre-screening  commit- 
tees will  be  urged  to  maintain  higher  standards 
so  that  only  really  qualified  films  will  be  selected 
for  festival  screening.  There  will  be  fewer  con- 
flicts in  scheduling  films  in  the  same  general  area. 
The  filmstrip  rating  system  is  being  revised.  But 
even  the  most  optimistic  member  of  the  festival 
committee  does  not  really  expect  that  all  prob- 
lems will  be  solved  and  all  objections  overcome- 
in  1960  or  any  other  year. 

All  festival  and  no  program  would  make  a  thin 
audiovisual  year,  so  any  members  who  may  have 
feared  that  EFLA  would  get  so  involved  in 
Jurors  and  Awards  that  it  had  no  time  for  any- 
thing else  are  hereby  reassured.  Immediate  plans 
call  for  more  evaluations,  more  Bulletins,  more 
Film  Review  Digests,  plus  two  or  three  special 
service  supplements  during  the  coming  year.  The 
new  Index  to  EFLA  Evaluations,  just  off  the 
press,  lists  by  subject  and  title  the  nearly  four 
thousand  films  which  EFLA  has  evaluated  so  far. 

There  are  two  areas  to  which  EFLA  plans  to 
give  special  attention  in  the  coming  year.  One 
is  a  major  revision  of  its  whole  schedule  of  meet- 
ings and  conferences.  With  the  festival  taking  the 
the  spotlight  as  the  major  event  of  the  year,  the 
EFLA  board  is  planning  a  series  of  regional  and 
specialized  conferences.  The  Southern  regional 
meeting  in  Florida,  which  was  so  successful  in 
1958,  will  be  repeated  in  1960.  Other  areas  sug- 
gested for  regional  meetings  are  Midwest,  North 
Central  and  Pacific  Coast.  Special  workshops  and 
conferences  with  groups  using  films  in  the  public 
library,  church,  industry  and  other  fields  are 
being  considered. 

The  other  major  project  is  to  apply  EFLA's 
long-standing  information  and  evaluation  serv- 
ices to  the  complete  and  detailed  study  of  audio- 
visual materials  in  one  particular  area  at  a  time. 
First  on  the  hst  at  present,  of  course,  is  Science, 


and  plans  have  been  formulated  for  this  project. 
The  experience  and  cooperation  of  the  approxi- 
at  work  on  the  regular  evaluation  project  will  be 
invaluable  in  making  special  studies  of  this  kind, 
but  additional  oflBce  staff  will  also  be  required,  as 
well  as  funds  for  printing  and  distributing  the  in- 
formation if  it  is  to  be  of  maximum  usefulness. 

So  1960  will  be  another  busy  year  for  EFLA, 
as  well  as  for  the  audiovisual  world  at  large.  But 
if  it  fulfills  its  promise,  it  will  be  also  a  year  in 
which  the  horizons  of  that  world  are  expanded 
as  more  groups  and  more  individuals  discover 
the  tremendous  variety  of  16mm  films  and  the 
ways  they  can  be  used. 

What  EFLA  can  do  in  the  immediate  future  is 
only  a  small  part  of  what  is  needed,  but  with 
1959  behind  us,  we  feel  that  we  can  look  forward 
to  a  busy,  useful,  and  probably— again— a  breath- 
less 1960.

AV  Education 
in  the  Church 


by  George  B.  Ammon 


Slow  but  significant  progress  has 
marked  the  use  of  audiovisual 
materials  in  the  church  during  the 
past  few  years.  Audiovisual  prog- 
ress has  been  slow  partially  because 
of  the  conservative  nature  of  the 
church  and  church  people,  but  it 
has  been  significant  largely  because 
the  image  of  audiovisual  education 
is  changing  within  the  church  itself. 
We  are  beginning  to  see  both  the 
true  potential  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials as  tools  for  specific  purposes, 
and  their  inherent  limitations— plus 
those  engendered  by  many  largely 
untrained  in  their  use. 

In  the  past  several  years  serious 
efforts  have  been  made  to  move 
from  an  unimaginative  use  of  au- 
diovisual shown  largely  for  sea- 
sonal "programs"  such  as  at  Christ- 
mas and  Easter  time,  to  a  more 
carefully  thought  out  use  of  all 
kinds  of  audiovisual  materials  in 
connection  with  educational,  mis- 
sionary, evangelistic,  and  steward- 
ship purposes  of  the  church.  Many 
more  teachers  are  taking  the  audio- 
visual tools  as  tools,  and  developing 
skills  in  using  them.  Until  recently 
many  church  leaders  used  only 
films  or  filmstrips  or  other  visual 
materials  which  were  patently  re- 
ligious, today  they  draw  on  audio- 
visual resources  from  a  wide  spec- 
trum of  subject  matter. 

The  sobering  complexity  of  the 
learning  process  has  made  church 
leaders  aware  that  audiovisuals 
play  a  significant  part  along  with 
other  teaching  methods  such  as  dis- 
cussion, role  playing  and  problem 
solving  and  that  audiovisual  edu- 
cation operates  best  in  concert  with 
other  types  of  teaching.  Audiovisu- 
als are  not  automatically  educative, 
and  standing  alone,  are  often  in- 
eflFective. 


There  is  considerably  more  de- 
nominational guidance  material  of- 
fered the  local  church  as  to  what  to 
use  in  connection  with  the  specific 
Christian  enterprises  at  the  local 
level.  Significant  audiovisual  list- 
ings have  been  prepared  by  de- 
nominational audiovisual  special- 
ists in  connection  with  Sunday 
church  school,  weekday  and  vaca- 
tion church  schools  as  well  as  in 
missionary  education,  evangelism 
and  stewardship  education.  We  are 
learning  how  to  help  teachers  of 
specific  age  groups  work  more  ef- 
fectively with  audiovisual  materials. 
Furthermore  the  audiovisual  pro- 
ducer is  beginning  to  define  his  tar- 
get audience  more  clearly  and  even 
the  distributor  is  beginning  to  help 
the  user  select  his  material  more 
purposefully. 

Within  the  local  church,  audio- 
visuals  have  become  somewhat 
familiar  today.  We  recognize  the 
film  and  filmstrip  as  an  adjunct  to 
the  teacher's  tool  kit.  We  are  more 
likely  to  use  these  materials  in  a 
somewhat  unobtrusive  manner  to- 
day than  ever  before. 

We  are  beginning  to  realize  that 
the  Bible  is  difficult  to  visualize.  In 
fact,  it  may  be  that  possibly  some 
parts  of  the  Bible  should  not  be 
visualized  in  such  form  as  film  or 
filmstrip.  This  is  partly  because  of 
the  high  cost  of  doing  a  creditable 
job  plus  the  fact  that  it  is  exceed- 
ingly difficult  to  visualize  oriental 
imagery,  parables  and  miracles 
without  doing  a  disservice  to  the 
meaning  and  dynamic  of  the  Scrip- 
ture itself.  In  some  respects  the 
most  recent  attempts  at  film  treat- 
ment are  worse  than  those  of  ten 
years  ago.  Some  of  the  efforts  suffer 
from  the  poverty  of  wooden  char- 


FOZs.z:c.H.srr 


acterization,  unimaginative  direc- 
tion, and  poor  scripting,  along  with 
mediocre  make-up  and  crude  spe- 
cial effects. 

We  are  encouraged  by  recent 
statistics  which  claim  that  85  per- 
cent of  all  Protestant  churches  now 
have  one  or  more  pieces  of  audio- 
visual equipment.  These  statistics 
show  that  the  larger  the  size  of  the 
congregation,  the  more  certain  we 
are  to  find  audiovisual  equipment 
available  and  being  used.  Fifty-one 
percent  of  our  Protestant  churches 
have  record  players,  64  percent 
have  slide  and  filmstrip  projectors 
while  64  percent  have  motion  pic- 
ture equipment.  Generally  this  is  a 
good  sign  but  may  also  tend  to  put 
everything  audiovisually  into  a  neat 
package,  and  cause  us  to  depend 
too  heavily  on  the  package. 

The  creative  audiovisual  user  is 
now  beginning  to  push  beyond  the 
use  of  the  motion  picture  and  film- 
strip  projector  to  such  equipment 
as  the  opaque  projector,  the  tape 
recorder,  the  overhead  projector, 
and  the  35mm  and  the  16mm  cam- 
era. 

Recently  introduced  into  the 
church  field  is  the  use  of  such 
equipment  as  the  Viewmaster  pro- 
jector with  its  circular  reels,  each 
reel  carrying  14  pictures  of  16mm 
stock.  This  kind  of  simple  inexpen- 
sive equipment  along  with  a  less 
expensive  well  -  engineered,  exclu- 
sively filmstrip  projector,  designed 
especially  for  use  in  the  typically 
small  church  school  class,  are  some 
developments  which  are  moving  in 
the  right  direction. 

A  new  development  which  por- 
tends much  good  for  the  future  of 
audiovisuals  in  the  church  is  the 
plan  to  limit  the  upcoming  1960 
International  Conference  on  Audio 
Visuals  in  the  Church  ( at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Colorado  in  Boulder  next 
summer)  to  national  or  internation- 
al staffs  of  the  denominations,  plus 
interdenominational  leaders  and  a 
limited  number  of  regional  rep- 
resentatives. This  conference,  here- 
tofore open  to  local  church  leaders, 
will  thus  be  limited  and  will  plan 
various  state  or  regional  audio- 
visual cooperative  training  enter- 
prises, using  national,  regional  or 
area  leaders  to  help  get  the  AV 
know-how  to  the  local  congrega- 
tional level. 

The  present  NCCC  Commission 
to  study  the  church's  opportunity 
and  responsibility  in  relation  to  the 
mass  media  is  currently  delving 
into  the  place  of  television,  radio 
and  the  film  and  promises  some 
audiovisual  help  "at  the  summit."

Through  the  Looking  Glass 
— To  Tomorrow 

The  past  year  has  been  marked  by 
an  explosive  growth  in  the  number  of 
secondary  schools  and  colleges  ex- 
panding their  foreign  language  offer- 
ings and  expanding,  too,  the  technical 
facilities  for  such  studies.  Recent  sur- 
veys indicate  the  number  of  language 
laboratories  in  service  as  more  than 
300— with  more  than  60  of  these  in 
sub-collegiate  institutions.  Colleges  re- 
port language  enrollments  increased 
by  as  much  as  36  per  cent  with  new 
demands  for  languages  other  than  the 
usual  Latin-French  -  Spanish  -  German 
group. 

Foreign  language  accomplishment, 
recently  in  the  'recommended  studies' 
group  for  college  entrance,  is  again 
being  made  a  requirement.  Columbia 
College  recently  announced  that,  be- 
ginning as  soon  as  1962,  a  require- 
ment for  admission  will  be  completion 
of  at  least  three  years  of  study  of  one 
foreign  language  in  high  school.  This 
is  not  an  isolated  instance  but  is  part 
of  a  trend. 

And  the  emphasis  will  be  on  com- 
munication, not  rote  learning  of  words 
out  of  context  and  dull  and  unexciting 
rules  of  grammar.  The  College  Board 
examinations  will  include  aural  com- 
prehension tests  in  French,  German 
and  Spanish.  Similar  in  objective  will 
be  the  revisions  of  the  English  exam- 
inations which  will  include  testing  in 
composition. 

Role  of  Listening 

Communication  as  a  vital  function 
of  language,  then,  is  becoming  dom- 
inant and  listening,  perforce,  becomes 
integral  in  modern  education.  The 
current  emphasis  on  audio  and  audio- 
visual entertainment  via  motion  pic- 
tures, television,  radio  and  recordings 
heightens  the  need  for  this  emphasis 
—but  it  has  been  a  generation  com- 
ing, and  comes  coincident  with  the 
sudden  pubhc  realization  that  our  re- 
lations with  the  world  depends  on  suc- 
cessful communications. 

The  past  year  has  seen,  too,  a  sud- 
den but  anticipated  growth  in  the 
variety  of  foreign  language  records 
marketed.  No  list  of  foreign  language 
recordings,  however  recently  publish- 


ed, can  be  'up-to-date'  for  more  than 
a  few  months— or  even  truly  'recent' 
for  more  than  a  year  —  because  the 
variety  of  available  materials  is  so 
rapidly  expanding. 

The  pressures  bringing  this  about 
are,  of  course,  the  growth  in  the  num- 
ber of  foreign  language  laboratory 
study  courses  available  to  secondary 
school  and  college  students,  and  the 
impact  of  the  National  Defense  Educa- 
tion Act  on  audiovisual  budgets  in 
the  language  study  area. 

The  mirror  shows  phenomenal 
growth,  and  the  rear-view  mirror  indi- 
cates, too,  that  language  studies  are 
not  alone  in  this. 

Looking  through  the  glass  to  the 
year  and  years  ahead,  it  is  reasonable 
to  predict  that  we  are  at  the  begin- 
ning of  an  era  of  tremendous  new 
emphasis  on  being  able  to  commun- 
icate —  to  receive  as  well  as  offer  in- 
formation through  the  senses  of  hear- 
ing and  seeing.  The  laboratory,  as  it 
has  been  introduced  into  foreign  lan- 
guage study,  will  become  integral  in 
other  areas  beginning  perhaps  in 
English  both  as  a  language  and  as 
a  humanities  study,  and  progressing 
then  to  other  humanities,  the  arts  and 
finally  to  the  sciences.  It  is  not  in- 
conceivable that  the  expressed  goal 
of  so  many  educators  will  become 
a  reality:  that  the  student  be  encour- 
aged and  permitted  to  progress 
through   the   maze  of  his   studies   at 


his  own  gait,  pausing  to  seek  depth 
and  breadth  as  interests  and  needs 
indicate.  It  is  not  inconceivable  that 
through  the  audiovisual  devices  used 
by  individuals  and  by  groups  how- 
ever small  the  pressing  needs  of  the 
intellectually  gifted  may  be  met.  And, 
too,  the  lagging  student  may  be 
helped  to  progress  at  his  own  pace 
through  directed  listening  and  other 
study  experiences. 

It  is  always  interesting  and  inform- 
ative to  know  who  is  active  and  inter- 
ested. A  'man  in  the  street'  survey  is 
impossible  but  a  'letter  in  the  mail' 
study  is  not.  So,  with  this  particular 
year-end  summary  and  look  ahead  in 
mind,  we  made  a  simple  tabulation  of 
correspondence  over  the  past  few 
months.  We  have  heard  from  a  variety 
of  places— from  most  of  the  states  and 
from  European  and  Asian  nationals. 
The  bulk  of  our  correspondence  is 
from  schools  and  colleges,  as  might  be 
anticipated,  with  schools  and  school 
systems  accounting  for  about  48  per 
cent  and  colleges  and  universities 
33  per  cent.  The  rest  is  made  up  of 
miscellaneous  adult  groups  including 
public  libraries— almost  a  fifth. 

Av  Directors  and  Centers 

When  the  same  information  was 
tabulated  another  way,  it  was  learned 
that  audiovisual  directors  and  audio- 
visual centers,  including  curriculum 
materials  centers,  account  for  63  per 
cent  of  the  mail— almost  two  thirds. 
These  are  the  professional  audiovisual 
specialists,  these  are  the  professional 
educators  outside  of  libraries.  But 
librarians  are  asking  questions,  too, 
and  almost  a  third  of  our  mail  comes 
from  libraries  other  than  school  and 
college  libraries.  There  is,  of  course,  a 
smattering  of  letters  which  can  only 
be   described    as    'miscellaneous'   and

may  come  from  individuals  seeking  in- 
formation, from  record  producers  and 
from  the  tremendous  variety  of  other 
sources  (including  school  children  1) 
who  want  to  know  about  sound. 

What  do  they  ask?  The  questions  al- 
most all  concern  the  area  of  materials. 
The  most  complex  may  involve  pre- 
paring a  hst  of  recordings  for  a  college 
course  in  Shakespeare,  and  the  sim- 
plest the  "where  can  I  secure?"  in- 
volving the  record  distributed  only  by 
a  single  source.  Many  people  seek 
lists  for  intensive  work  in  a  limited 
area.  One  elementary  school  principal 
wrote  that  a  student  was  entering  a 
hospital  for  delicate  eye  operation  and 
he  sought  assistance  in  selecting  ap- 
propriate entertainment  and  instruc- 
tional recordings  for  the  child. 

Of  course  there  are  questions  about 
equipment  but  these  are  decreasing  in 


number.  The  multi-speed  record  play- 
er is  a  well-known  machine  today. 
The  argument  of  'tape  versus  disc'  is 
frequently  joined.  Then  too,  we  are 
repeatedly  admonished  that  (a)  the 
eye  is  faster  than  the  ear  as  a  receptor, 
and  (b)  the  ear  is  faster  than  the  eye 
as  a  receptor.  The  argument  over  rela- 
tive retention,  too,  is  not  uncommon. 

No  Help  to  These 

There  are  some  people  we  cannot 
help.  These  are  the  schoolmen  who 
have  received  (as  a  gift)  an  almost 
complete  set  of  78  rpm  records  pub- 
lished in  the  pre-war  years.  They  seek 
the  one  (almost  always  unavailable) 
record  to  fill  out  the  album.  Unless  the 
title  has  been  rerecorded  and  reissued 
we  find  it  best  to  suggest  substitutes. 

Looking   ahead   we   can  anticipate

many  interesting  developments.  The 
concept  that  involves  a  lending  or 
rental  library  of  recorded  material  for 
'one  time  only'  use  is  already  in  prac- 
tice. But  the  future  may  well  involve 
a  large  leased  library  constantly  avail- 
able in  any  given  school  or  school  sys- 
tem. 

The  Keats  Record  Company  (127 
Bedford  Street,  Stamford,  Connecti- 
cut) already  offers  a  record  service 
for  public  libraries  at  a  monthly  fee.  In 
this  service  a  permanent  collection  of 
LP  records  is  shipped  to  the  subscrib- 
er at  the  beginning  of  the  service 
period.  This  initial  shipment  forms  the 
basic  collection  which  remains  in  the 
library  as  long  as  the  service  is  re- 
tained. 

Additionally,  new  records  are  con- 
stantly supplied  to  the  contracting 
libraries.  Libraries  are  encouraged  to 
request  specific  recordings  to  be  in- 
cluded in  the  regular  shipments  which 
are  sent.  The  record  owners— the  lend- 
ing source  in  this  case— replaces  worn 
and  mutUated  records  as  an  integral 
part  of  the  service  on  advice  of  the 
library.  It  is  important  to  note  that 
title  remains  with  the  original  lessor 
and  not  with  the  library. 

Cannot  a  similar  program  be  devel- 
oped for  schools?  Is  it  impossible  that 
schools  lease  record  collections  and 
pay  on  either  an  annual  or  monthly 
basis?  In  this  case,  cannot  an  enterpris- 
ing individual  or  firm  offer  such  a 
broad  service  encouraging  schools  to 
select  a  basic  library  from  existing 
catalogs  and  then  offer  additional 
(new  or  older)  releases  on  a  regular 
monthly  or  bi-monthly  basis?  It  may 
not  be  impossible  that  a  rental-pur- 
chase system  similar  to  that  now  em- 
ployed successfully  by  film  distribu- 
tors can  be  applied  to  recordings  sales. 
The  major  need  is  for  aggressive  face- 
to-face  salesmanship  and  for  realiza- 
tion on  the  part  of  teachers  as  well  as 
teacher-trainers  that  suitable  audio 
materials  enhance  the  learning  situa- 
tion and  provide  another  source  for 
the   student's  vicarious  experience. 

Aural  Program 

And  still  the  new  records  are  pro- 
duced with  a  view  not  only  to  enrich- 
ment but  also  to  implementing  learn- 
ing. One  of  the  latter  is  Pathways  To 
Phonic  Skilk  (Audio  Education,  Inc., 
LL-3;  55  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York,  N. 
Y.).  This  is  an  aural  program  for  de- 
veloping and  extending  phonic  readi- 
ness skills,  basic  in  beginning  read- 
ing. The  recordings  are  particularly 
designed  to  accompany  Volume  I  of 
Betts  Basic  Readers,  Second  Edition, 
but  their  usefulness  is  not  limited  to 
these  particular  texts.

EDUcATIO^AL  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  19.59 


The  records  (there  are  two  12-inch 
33.3  rpm  discs  in  the  set)  deal  with 
such  topics  as  "Hearing  and  Identify- 
ing Sounds,"  "Discriminating  Between 
Sounds,"  "Hearing  and  Saying  Rhym- 
ing Words,"  "Naming  Pairs  of  Rhym- 
ing Words,"  "Classifying  Sounds," 
"Saying  Words  that  Rhyme,"  "Listen- 
ing to  Rhymes,"  "Completing  Rid- 
dles," and  sections  devoted  to  hearing 
vowels  and  consonants  as  well  as  the 
endings  and  the  beginnings  of  words. 

The  material  contained  in  the  two 
recordings  is  sufficient  for  long  term 
use  with  most  students.  The  work  can- 
not be  completed  without  repeated 
listening  over  a  long  period  of  time, 
and  slow  progress  is  indicated. 

Intended  for  Young 

Generally,  the  recording  will  be  use- 
ful with  the  kindergarten  and  first 
grade  children  for  whom  it  is  intend- 
ed. It  seems  rather  important  that  the 
listening  children  have  had  a  broad 
background  of  experiences  so  that 
they  may  be  able  to  recognize  and 
identify  'city'  sounds  as  well  as  'coun- 
try' sounds.  Volume,  important  in 
sound  discrimination  and  distance 
judgment,  is  constant  rather  than  vary- 
ing in  this  recording.  Further,  some 
of  the  sounds  employed— such  as  the

sound  of  a  steam  locomotive— seem  to 
"date"  the  recording  too  much.  Per- 
haps most  first  grade  children  have 
never  actually  seen  or  heard  such  an 
engine  but  here  television  comes  to 
the  rescue,  for  the  experience  of  both 
seeing  and  hearing  is  probably  theirs 
through  TV. 

We  had  hoped  that  there  would  be 
many  simple  stories  told  in  sound  on 
the  recording— and  but  two  are  pro- 
vided. Sound  used  this  way  can  con- 
tribute markedly  to  the  child's  devel- 
oping perceptive  abilities  as  well  as 
to  his  oral  self-expression.  From  the 
technique  demonstrated  on  the  rec- 
ord, however,  it  is  possible  (and  de- 
sirable) for  the  class  and  the  teacher 
working  together  to  create  their  own 
simple  "stories  in  sound"  and  to  re- 
cord these  on  the  school  tape  recorder, 
developing  the  working  together  con- 
cept for  their  ovwi  amusement,  com- 
prehension and  fuller  involvement  in 
this  aspect  of  communicating  ideas. 

This  is  an  especially  interesting 
area:  the  introduction  of  children  to 
interpretation  of  sounds  at  an  age 
when  they  are  being  first  introduced 
to  them.  This  greater  facility  in  evalu- 
ating sounds  can  contribute  to  a  child's 
enjoyment  of  the  world  he  sees  unfold- 
ing about  him  and  possibly  to  a 
quicker  ear  in  languages.

Notes  And  Comments 

We  believe  that  the  churches,  all 
denominations,  can  get  a  lot  of  good 
use  out  of  the  13  films  which  were 
used  on  the  Methodist  "Talk  Back" 
TV  series.  Now  released  to  all 
churches,  these  films  cover  such  sub- 
jects as  the  pressure  of  modem  living, 
guilt,  knowing  God's  will,  life's  good 
and  bad  breaks,  prayer.  Christian 
business  principles,  suffering,  civic 
responsibility,  anxieties  and  fears,  be- 
longing and  acceptance  insecurity,  the 
rearing  of  children,  etc.  Here  is  mate- 
rial for  youth  and  adult  groups,  in 
and  out  of  church.  To  get  the  most 
juice  out  of  them,  try  the  discussion 
process.  Book  them  through  your  A-V 
library,  or  the  Methodist  Pubhshing 
House,  Nashville,  Tenn.

al Aids  committee  of  the  Trinity 
Baptist  Church,  Bexleyheath,  Kent, 
England,  would  have  an  extra  copy 
of  the  committee's  annual  report  for 
1958  on  hand.  If  so,  he  would,  I  am 
certain,  be  glad  to  send  it  to  those 
who  would  like  to  see  how  and  why 
films  and  other  media  are  used  in  this 
parish.  In  turn,  he  might  like  to  hear 
from  you  and  have  your  report— if  you 
have  one  to  send  along. 

•  We  have  already  made  note  of  two 
films  which  we  will  use  the  next  time 
we  teach  a  course— at  the  college  or 
university  level— in  A-V  communica- 
tion and  use.  "Facts  About  Film"  says 
a  lot  and  shows  more;  and  "Facts 
About  Projection"  wraps  up  that  sub- 
ject interestingly  and  well.  Come  to 
think  of  it,  these  two  would  be  equally 
useful  in  institutes,  seminars  and  con- 
ferences with  the  people  who  actually 
use  films  in  the  various  programs  of 
the  church.  They  speak  to  the  needs 
of  this  group,  too.  From  International 
Film  Bureau,  57  E.  Jackson  Blvd.,

•  We  would  like  to  see  the  Methodist 
Church  (Board  of  Temperance,  100 
Maryland  Ave.,  Washington  2,  D.C.) 
try   putting   the   commentary   of   the 

656 


film  "What  You  Ought  To  Want"  on 
either  tape  or  records,  or  both,  and 
offering  Bishop  Oxnam's  penetrating 
discussion  in  this  medium.  We  found 
the  film  tiring,  but  liked  mighty  well 
most  of  what  the  Bishop  said.  I  think 
that  in  this  case  a  good  audio  would 
have  been  better  than  a  poor  film. 
Dynamic  as  the  Bishop  is,  14  minutes 
is  a  long  time  to  look  at  him  via  film.

•  Family  Films,  Inc.,  has  been  getting 
into  some  tough  subjects  of  late,  tough 
enough  to  stump  any  producer.  Think 
of  a  film  that  shows  Christian  youth 
helping  another  young  person  to  get 
headed  in  the  right  direction!  Yet 
"Teenage  Witness"  is  good  enough 
to  be  accepted  by  youth  and  their 
leaders,  and  is  thus  a  useful  film. 
"Teenage  Code"  deals  with  cheating, 
a  subject  not  quite  so  hard  to  bring 
off.  Yet  it's  no  easy  matter  to  make 
the  Christian  point  of  view  acceptable 
in  a  film  for  young  people.  We  think 
this  film  succeeds.  If  the  young  people 
of  a  high  school  respect  one  of  their 
fellows  for  his  scholarship  and  manly 
character,  can  he  influence  them  in 
the  direction  of  Christian  ideals  and 
ideas?  "Teenage  Challenge"  says  yes 
to  this  question  and  in  such  a  way  that 
young  people  of  Junior  and  Senior 
Hi  age  will  accept  it.  Each  is  30  min- 
utes; B&W,  $9.00  per  day;  and  just 
the  thing  for  fellowship  groups  and 
especially  for  the  "Y"  clubs  in  high 
schools  and  the  community. 

Teenager  Filmstrips 

Years  ago  Paul  Kidd  (now  with 
Family  Films,  Inc.)  produced  a  series 
of  filmstrips  on  the  teenager  and  his 
world  and  its  problems.  Many  of  us 
used  this  material.  We  wore  it  out- 
using  it!  It  was  that  good  and  useful. 

Now  Family  Filmstrips,  Inc.,  has 
produced  a  battery  of  good  and  use- 
ful filmstrips  that  go  way  beyond  the 
old  Church  Screen  set  in  quality  and 
usefulness  as  well  as  in  coverage  of 
the  general  subject.  These  filmstrips 
are  divided  into  two  groups:  Younger 
Teens  and  Older  Teens— roughly  Jun- 


ior Hi  and  Senior  Hi  plus.  In  the 
"Young  Teens  and  Their  Families" 
there  are  four  filmstrips,  all  good  in 
content  treatment  and  pictorial  and 
technical  qualities.   They  are: 

Learning  To  Live  With  Parents 
Getting  Along  With   Brothers  and 

Sisters 
Sharing   Responsibilities   At   Home 
Allotoances 

Young  teens  also  have  'popularity 
problems'  and  we  have  four  aspects 
of  this  problem  taken  up  in  as  many 
titles: 


I 


Overcoming  Awkwardness  and  Shy- 
ness 
Making  and  Keeping  Friends 
Trying  To  Be  Popular 
What  About   Smoking? 

The  treatment  in  each  instance  is 
that  of  good  sense,  solid  psychological 
facts  and  good  religion.  They  will  do 
as  much  for  many  parents  as  for  the 
young  people  themselves.  Let  us  use 
them! 

Dating,  and  all  this  implies  for 
youth,  is  a  tough  area  in  which  to  talk 
sense— sense  that  gets  accepted  by  the 
adolescent  and  his  parents  and  ad- 
visors and  teachers.  Yet  the  four  titles 
here  cover  the  subject  well,  hitting 
the  crucial  questions  right  on  the  but- 
ton. 

First  Dates  (guidance  ideas) 
Whom  Do   1  date?    (standard   for 

choosing) 
How   To  Act  On  A  Date?    (what 

to  do  and  not  do) 
Is  It  Love?  (the  meaning  of  mutual 

attraction ) 

When  you  move  to  the  Older  Teens 
bracket  (15-19)  these  subjects  don't 
get  any  less  ticklish.  Older  teens  still 
live  in  their  families.  Thus  a  series 
on  Older  Teens  and  Their  Families. 
The  treatment  is  down  to  earth  with 
a  deep  respect  for  Christian  principles; 
and  the  titles  are: 

I'm   Not  A  Child  Any  Longer 
You  And  The  Car 
Families  Come  In  Handy 
Money  Problems 

Older  teens  have  popularity  prob- 
lems just  like  their  younger  siblings. 
Status  and  growing  relationships  are 
complex  and  often  painful,  and  being 
Christian  is  not  as  easy  as  we  some- 
times think.  Listen  to  these  titles: 

The   Crowd 
Smoking  and  Drinking 
My  Loyalty  Test 
Influencing  Others  For  Cood 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide— December,  I9.')9 


Excellent  quality  in  treatment  and 
in  technical  aspects  is  maintained  in 
the  Older  Teens  And  Dating  series: 

Going  Steady 
Fallitig  In  Love 
Conduct  On  A  Date 
When  Should  I  Marry? 

When  I  look  back  across  these  titles 
and  remember  being  with  a  group  of 
high  school  young  people  every  Sun- 
day night  for  twenty-five  years,  I  am 
stirred  to  hope  that  every  one  of  these 
filmstrips  is  seen  by  the  parents  of 
youth  as  well  as  by  the  young  people 
themselves.  In  so  many  instances  the 
ideas  of  parents  need  up-dating,  mod- 
ernizing. They  so  often  need  new  in- 
sights, new  tacks,  new  ways  of  deal- 
ing with  their  own  (teenage)  children. 
Therefore  let  no  user  think  that  he 
has  really  used  these  fine  materials 
until  he  has  used  them  with  parents 
as  well  as  with  youth.  Let  no  dealer 
forget  to  point  out  this  multiple  use 
of  these  filmstrips  when  doing  busi- 
ness with  the  church.  Let  it  be  re- 
membered also  that  these  filmstrips 
can  help  leaders  do  the  job  year  after 
year. 

Africa  Feature  Available 

According  to  United  World  Films, 
Inc.  (1445  Park  Ave.,  N.  Y.  29),  that 
remarkable  film.  The  Mark  of  the 
Hawk,  which  has  been  running  in 
the  theaters  since  the  summer  of  1957, 
will  be  available  to  the  churches  after 
January   1,    I960. 

Having  attended  the  premiere  of 
this  film  in  1957  and  having  preview- 
ed it  the  other  evening  in  its  16mm 
reduction,  we  would  like  to  observe 
that  it  seems  more  timely  now  than 
two  years  ago.  Again  we  were  im- 
pressed with  the  professional  excel- 
lence of  the  film.  This  is  seen  in  its 
casting,  acting,  directing  and  espe- 
cially in  its  dramatic  structure  and  at- 
tention-holding qualities. 

Running  something  over  100  min- 
utes, this  powerful  film  packs  a  mes- 
sage for  church  people  as  well  as 
those  outside.  The  image  of  missionary 
work  which  it  develops  is  faithful  to 
the  Gospel  and  about  three  layers 
deeper  than  that  held  in  the  mind  of 
so  many  churchmen  today.  It  por- 
trays the  role  of  Christian  religion 
in  meeting  the  political,  economic  and 
spiritual  needs  of  awakening  Africa, 
and  indicates  that  the  Church  is  the 
only  great  fellowship  that  actually  em- 
braces all  colors  and  conditions  of 
humanity. 

Without  doubt  any  church  which 


will  do  a  little  promotion  can  gather 
an  audience  for  such  a  great  film, 
and  if  it  must  be  financed  that  way, 
we  don't  see  how  anyone  could  put 
less  than  folding  money  on  the  plate 
after  seeing  such  a  moving  and  enter- 
taining film.  I  don't  mean  ersatz  'en- 
tertainment' which  drips  from  much 
theatrical  stuff  these  days,  but  en- 
tertainment in  the  sense  of  being  inter- 
esting because  of  its  inherent  drama. 
It's  told  straight  from  the  shoulder, 
and  is  a  'must'  for  all.  Don't  pass  this 
superb  film  by.— WSH

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


If  we  are  to  use  visual  materials, 
whether  of  the  projected  or  the  dis- 
play type,  then  the  pictures  should 
be  worth  viewing.  In  our  own  estima- 
tion we  have  always  used  pictures  for 
two  basic  reasons,  (a)  because  they 
interested  the  eyes  of  the  beholder 
and  caused  him  to  stop  for  further 
examination  and  (b)  because,  having 
attracted  the  viewer,  they  justified  his 
examination  and  presented  informa- 
tion he  needed  and  would  find  helpful 
—and  also  pleased  him  at  the  same 
time.  We  have  always  deplored  "busy 
work  pictures"  that  contained  about 
50  different  ideas  or  messages  all 
garbled  up  into  patchwork  attempts 
to  say  a  lot  in  one  picture.  For  our 
own  vote,  the  more  any  picture  is 
edited  before  it  is  reproduced,  the 
better. 

As  with  any  medium  of  communica- 
tion, the  basic  symbols  of  the  partic-

ular  medium  should  be  clear,  dis- 
tinct and  understandable.  Every  time 
we  see  a  picture  cluttered  up  with 
cute  little  details  and  minute  items 
designed  to  give  "added  interest"  fac- 
tors, we  shudder.  It  would  be  an  ex- 
cellent idea  for  filmstrip  and  picture 
producers  to  take  a  field  trip  to  view 
the  display  windows  of  many  of  our 
leading  jewelers.  Whenever  there  is 
a  rare  jewel  or  magnificent  necklace 
to  display  it  is  made  the  center  of 
attention  and  other  distracting  items 
are  cleared  away.  It  is  barely  possible 
that  pupils  in  our  classes  would  find 
filmstrips  more  attractive  if  the  mes- 
sage of  each  picture  were  clearer  and 
easier  to  identify  visually. 

Tide  Pool  Life  Study  Prints  (a  set 
of  12  flat  prints,  color;  produced  by 
Famscope,     Inc.,     Box     397,     Sierra 
Madre,  California;  $11.95  per  set,  re- 
ductions   for   group    orders).    In   line 
with  our  general  comments  above,  we 
call  your  attention  not  to  a  filmstrip 
but  to  a  set  of  flat  prints  which  im- 
pressed us  so  much  we  are  including 
them   in    this    column.    The   pictorial 
quality  of  these  prints  is  excellent  and 
the  color  splendid.  We  actually  behold 
sea  anemones,  shore  and  hermit  crabs, 
chitons,  mussels  and  other  specimens 
of  marine  life  as  they  would  look  to 
us   if  we   went    investigating   in   the 
waters  of  a  tide  pool.  And  many  of 
the  pictures  have  an  added  value  in 
providing  an  indication  of  relative  size 
for   the   viewer   who   is   not   familiar 
with   the    actual   specimen.    We   feel 
pleasure  in   recommending   this  type 
of  pictorial  material— which  we  do  for 
everyone  who  is  looking  for  good  pic- 
tures to  use  on  bulletin  display  boards, 
for  general  study  and  wherever  illus- 
trative material  of  an  excellent  quahty 
is  needed.  They  are  good  for  science 
and  nature  study  units  and  as  prepara- 
tion or  follow-up  for  actual  field  trips. 

American  Colonization  (3  sets  of 
filmstrips  and  records;  produced  by 
Wedberg  Associates,  4715  So.  Nor- 
mandie  Ave.,  Los  Angeles  37,  Cali- 
fornia—"Discovery  and  Exploration  of 
America,"  2  filmstrips  and  1  record 
—$20;  "Colonization  of  America,"  4 
filmstrips  and  2  records,  $40;  "Lewis 


and    Clark   Expedition,"  2   filmstrip; 
and    1    record,    $20).    Any   study   ol 
history  involves  a  consideration  of  th« 
people  who  helped  to  make  that  his- 
tory, and  that  is  what  these  fllmstrips 
do-for  they  have  added  the  element 
of  sounds  and  dramatizations  to  the 
picture   story.    The   material   is   coor- 
dinated so  as  to  give  a  series  of  epi- 
sodes  which   help   us   to   understand 
the  gradual  development  and  explora- 
tion  of   the   western   lands,    and   the 
people  who  contributed  to  this.  Maps 
are  included  to  indicate  place  relation- 
ships and  both  art  work  and  photo- 
graphs give  interest  to  the  pictures. 
There    is    a    realistic   quality    to    the 
records   that   will   appeal   to    student 
listeners.    The   material   is   well   pre- 
pared, well  adapted  to  social  studies 
units  in  the  upper  grades  and  junior 
high  school,  and  to  be  recommended 
because  it  has  human  appeal  value. 

AudioVimal    Language    Training- 
Gloria   and  David   Series    (14   film- 
strips,    color,    and    14    double    sided 
records;    produced    by    Encyclopedia 
Britannica  Films,  1150  Wilmette  Ave., 
Wihnette,    111.)    If   your    problem    is 
beginning  Spanish,   here  is   a  set  of 
materials  prepared  to  help  you  along 
the   road.    Gloria    and    David    go    to 
school,  play,   look   about  at  the  city 
in  which  they  hve,  take  a  trip  to  the 
country    and    become    familiar    with 
colors,  numbers  and  objects.  A  manual 
provides  review  questions  and  addi- 
tional study  projects.  The  material  is 
so   planned   that   teachers   who   have 
no  previous  training  in  Spanish  will 
be   able   to   use  it,   as   well   as  their 
pupils  who  are  starting  on  a  study  of 
this  language.  The  picture  sequences 
are  well  selected  and  the  recordings 
clear  and  easy  to  follow.  Recommend- 
ed for  beginning  study  of  Spanish  (at 
whatever    grade    this    is   included   in 
your  particular  curriculum ) . 


Basic  Primary  Science  —  Group  II 
(6  filmstrips,  color;  produced  by  So- 
ciety for  Visual  Education,  1345 
Diversey  Parkway,  Chicago  14,  111.; 
$24.30  per  set,  $4.50  single  strips). 
If  young  scientists  are  to  understand 
the  world  in  which  they  live,  they 
certainly  do  need  to  know  about  the 
fates  included  in  this  series;  why  seeds 
grow;  what  causes  day  and  night  to 
succeed  each  other,  how  many  bones 
you  have  in  your  body  and  what  they 
contribute  to  basic  bodily  function; 
what  helps  animals  to  survive.  There 
are  good  suggestions  for  first  experi- 
ments dealing  with  chemical  changes 
in  temperature,  plant  life  and  energy. 
These  filmstrips  can  be  used  as  study 
progresses    and    in    conjunction   with 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  1959 


many  units  and  projects  in  beginning 
science  for  grade  two. 

Secretarial  Training  (6  filmstrips 
and  3  double-face,  33  1/3  rpm.  rec- 
ords; produced  by  McGraw  Hill  Book 
Co.,  330  West  42nd  St.,  New  York  36, 
N.  Y.)  Everyone  who  longs  for  a 
well-trained  secretary  will  appreciate 
the  value  of  this  series— for  it  high- 
lights the  things  so  needed,  how  to 
file  correctly,  how  to  plan  work  and 
organize  work,  how  to  assume  respon- 
sibility and  practice  good  office  man- 
ners. The  secretary-to-be  is  given 
examples  of  short  cuts  that  will  make 
her  work  more  efficient;  she  is  also 
shown  how  to  help  other  secretaries 
and  how  to  plan  work  so  that  she 
serves  the  best  interests  of  her  super- 
iors. This  type  of  material  is  well 
suited  to  the  needs  of  high  school  and 
college  secretarial  training  classes,  and 
provides  practical  help  for  such 
groups. 

The  Whooping  Crane  (single  strip, 
color;  produced  by  National  Film 
Board  of  Canada,  available  from  Stan- 
ley Bowmar  Co.,  Valhalla,  N.  Y.:  $5). 
Great  interest  has  focused  of  late  on 
the  whooping  crane.  Excellent  and 
realistic  paintings  give  us  a  complete 
story  of  the  life,  habits  and  living 
quarters  of  this  rare  bird.  Because  it 
is  so  difficult  to  study  such  wildlife, 
this  filmstrip  becomes  especially  valu- 
able to  all  nature  lovers  and  students 
of  bird  lore.  This  is  an  instance  in 
which  the  filmstrip  becomes  a  "field 
trip"  for  it  takes  us  from  Arkansas 
to  Great  Slave  Lake,  from  the  United 
States  to  Canada,  to  follow  one  of  the 
most  fascinating  of  stories  about  a 
unique  bird.  Of  special  interest  to 
students  would  be  a  comment  on  the 
extreme  measures  taken  to  safeguard 
and  preserve  this  vanishing  species. 
State  game  departments  guard  them 
zealously,  and  hunters  face  severe 
penalties  for  killing,  injuring  or  other- 
wi.se  molesting  them.  To  be  recom- 
mended for  any  nature  study  group 
and  for  clubs  and  conservation  socie- 
ties.

FILM  EVALUATIONS

Quetico 

(Contemporary  Films,  Inc.,  267  West 
25th  St.,  New  York  1,  New  York) 
Produced  by  Christopher  Films,  16 
mm,  sound,  color,  n.d.,  $200. 

Description 

Quetico  ...  a  wilderness  area  be- 
tween Lake  Superior  and  Lake  of  the 
Woods  is  a  provincial  park  bordering 
the  United  States.  It  looked  much  the 
same  to  the  Ojibways  and  the  French 
voyageurs  as  it  does  to  the  modem 
sportsman.  The  film  expresses  a  feel- 
ing about  this  place  through  portraits 
of  earth,  water,  and  sky.  It  shows  the 
changing  moods  of  the  seasons:  snow, 
thaw,  rain,  and  sun,  bleakness,  blos- 
som, shadowed  greenness  and  autumn 
brilliance.  There  are  also  the  changing 
moods  of  the  hours:  misty  dawn,  busy 
mid-day,  quiet  dusk  and  howling 
darkness. 

By  following  one  canoeist,  the  scope 
of  vision  ranges  from  high  vistas  of 
numerous  lakes  and  endless  woods  to 
lily  pads  shimmering  in  the  wake  of 
the  canoe.  Along  the  trip,  various  wild 
life  are  seen  and  heard.  The  canoeist 
engages  in  negotiating  portages,  mak- 
ing and  breaking  camp,  fishing,  cook- 
ing, and  reverie. 

Appraisal 

Superb  color  photography  and  an 
unusually  well  -  integrated  musical 
score  are  organized  to  develop  a  uni- 
fied theme.  Producer-director-cinema- 
tographer-editor  Christopher  Chap- 
man has  created  a  film  of  rare  beauty 
that  will  excite  audiences  universally. 
Since  the  message  of  this  mass  com- 
munication can  be  transmitted  most 
appropriately  through  pictorial  repre- 
sentation, music,  and  sound  effects, 
the  short  sections  of  commentary  have 
wisely  been  limited  to  a  total  of  ninety- 
five  seconds. 

With  mass  film  audiences  limited 
mostly  to  television  and  commercial 
motion  picture  theatres,  where  else 
would  this  film  be  shown?  Either  be- 
cause of  its  subject  or  because  of  its 
treatment,  the  film  should  find  enthu- 
siastic use  by  public  libraries,  con- 
vocations at  educational  institutions, 
film  societies,  photography  clubs,  con- 
servation groups,  nature  clubs  and 
scouting  organizations.

Williamsburg:  Story  of  a 
Young  Patriot 

(Colonial  Williamsburg,  Inc.,  Film 
Distribution  Office,  Goodwin  Bldg., 
Williamsburg,  Virginia)  Produced  by 
Paramount  Pictures,  34  min.,  16mm, 
.sound,  color,  1957.) 

Description 

Williamsburg:  Story  of  a  Young 
Patriot  uses  the  fictional  character  of 
John  Frye  of  Riverton  to  depict  the  ex- 
ternal forces  acting  on  patriotic 
Americans  and  the  intra-personal  con- 
flicts these  men  faced  as  they  strug- 
gled with  the  controversy  of  self-rule 
or  domination  by  the  English  Crown. 
Activities  of  such  pre-revolutionary 
Virginia  leaders  as  George  Washing- 
ton, Thomas  Jefferson  and  Patrick 
Henry  are  dramatized. 

Opens  in  1769  as  John  Frye,  plant- 
er of  Riverton,  prepares  to  depart  for 
Williamsburg  to  assume  the  House  of 
Burgesses  seat  vacated  by  the  sudden 
death  of  his  father.  Taking  with  him  a 
last  letter  of  complaint  about  Patrick 
Henry's  repeated  and  radical  outbursts 
against  the  Crown,  the  new  member 
meets  almost  immediately  this  gentle- 
man and,  among  others,  Washington, 
Jefferson,  John  Randolph  and  William 
Byrd.  At  first  the  young  planter  is  im- 
pressed, but  as  did  his  father  before 
him  John  Frye  begins  to  write  home 
of  his  distaste  and  in  time  of  his  weari- 
ness with  the  constant  debate  caused 
by  Henry's  arguments.  Soon  he  sees 
the  House  dissolved  by  the  Governor 
because  of  Henry's  sentiments  against 
the  Townshend  Acts. 

With  considerable  misgiving,  John 
follows  a  number  of  his  colleagues  to 
the  Raleigh  Tavern  where  they  hear 
Washington  and  Jefferson  support  a 
non-importation  proposal  on  English 
goods.  Despite  Frye's  refusal  to  listen 
any  longer  to  such  considerations,  the 
proposal  carries  and  the  shops  of  unco- 
operative merchants  are  raided  by  the 
patriots.  But  with  Parliament's  repeal 
of  all  such  taxes  except  on  tea,  shops 
are  again  filled  with  imported  goods 
and  customers.  At  Riverton  John's 
wife  and  mother  are  pleased  with  a 
direct  shipment  of  china,  cloth,  and 
other  items  from  England. 

His  family  urges  him  to  run  for  a 
second  term  in  the  House,  and  though 
Frye  fears  defeat  because  of  his  grow- 


ing reputation  as  a  conservative,  he  is 
twice  re-elected.  By  now  John's  son  is 
ready  for  enrollment  at  the  College  of 
William   and  Mary,  so  he,   his  sister 
and  their  mother  join  the  burgess  in  a 
tour  of  the  capital.  Together  they  en- 
joy seeing  the  general  court,  the  gov- 
ernor's palace,  where  unicorns  on  the 
gate  remind  Virginians  they  are  Eng- 
lish,  and   finally   the   House  of   Bur- 
gesses. Here  Mrs.  Frye  is  concerned 
over    her    son's    interest    in    learning 
where  Mr.  Henry  sits  and  urges  him  to 
try  his  father's  seat  instead.  As  she  and 
her  daughter  prepare  to  return  to  Riv- 
erton, reverberations  from  Boston  are 
being  heard  in  Williamsburg,  and  with 
the  closing  of  the  Boston  port  events 
follow  one   another  quickly,   both  in 
New  England  and  Virginia.  What  atti- 
tude is  the  burgess  from  Riverton  to 
take?  Certainly  he  will  not  join  those 
who  burn  the  Massachusetts  governor 
in  effigy.    But  neither  can  he  agree 
with  his  aristocratic  friends  that  Vir- 
ginia has  no  stake  in  events  at  Boston. 
Meanwhile,   Lee,   Henry,  Jefferson 
and  other  burgesses  cast  about  for  a 
way  of  protesting  royal  moves  without 
again  running  the  risk  of  having  their 
House  dissolved.  Jefferson  finally  sug- 
gests a  day  of  fasting  and  prayer,  and 
John  Frye,  writing  to  his  wife  and  his 
mother  at  home,  is  impressed  with  the 
imity  of  feeling  reflected  by  attend- 
ance at  this   occasion.   A  later  letter 
points   out  that  when   royal   marines 
seized  powder  from  the  Williamsburg 
magazine  only  the  mercy  of  God  dis- 
persed the  angry  mob  which  respond- 
ed to  the  alarm.  Then  John  writes  of 
his  farewell  to  his  friend  John  Ran- 
dolph who   has  decided,   in  light  of 
Virginia  developments,  to  return  home 
to  England.  At  last  comes  the  moment- 
ous vote  in  the  House,  deciding  how 
Virginia's   delegation   in   Philadelphia 
should  vote  on  Lee's  resolution  for  in- 
dependence.  Still   undecided   on   this 
question,  John  Frye  seeks  the  opinion 
of  his  son,  pointing  out  that  a  vote  for 
separation  could  mean   not  only  the 
interruption  of  his  education  but  also 
the   loss   of   Riverton,   the   plantation 
young  John  should  inherit.  But  the  son 
leaves  no  doubt  as  to  his  feeling  when, 
in  his  father'  presence,  he  falls  in  rank 
with  the  Virginia  militia,  then  muster- 
ing near  the  government  buildings.  So 
in  the  company  of  Patrick  Henry  the 
elder   Frye    goes   to   the   House    and

there  joins  the  other  Burgesses  in  a 
unanimous  vote  for  independence. 

Appraisal 

Here  is  an  appeahng  and  provoca- 
tive presentation  of  the  background 
for  revolution  as  it  developed  in  \'ir- 
ginia  during  the  years  1769-1776. 
John  Frye's  character  and  letters,  de- 
lineated and  written  against  the  au- 
thentic backgroinids  of  restored  Co- 
lonial Williamsburg,  provide  an  effec- 
tive portrayal  of  the  times  and  especi- 
ally of  the  issues  faced  by  loyalists  and 
patriots.  The  technical  aspects  of  this 
production  are  admirably  handled, 
with  photography  and  music  effec- 
tively integrated.  Our  debt  to  those 
whose  restoration  and  associated  ac- 
tivities in  Williamsburg  made  possible 
this  film  is  especially  evident  in  its 
scenes  of  John  Frye's  welcome  at  Ra- 
leigh Tavern  and  his  participation  in 
the  Day  of  Prayer.  One  could  ask  of 
vicarious  experience  little  more  than 
is  provided  here.  Other  sequences  pro- 
vide concrete  illustrations  of  the  often- 
affectionate  relationships  between 
young  slaves  and  plantation  children 
and  of  the  increasingly  divergent  atti- 
tudes of  the  young  and  old  toward 
friction  with  England. 

Seventh  and  eighth  graders  who 
saw  this  film  as  an  integral  part  of 
their  study  of  the  Revolution  asked 
many  questions  about  places,  people, 
and  situations.  Older  high  school 
pupils  may  be  encouraged  to  evalu- 
ate, among  other  things,  the  film's  por- 
trayal of  Washington  in  1769  and  the 
somewliat  unguarded  words  used  by 
the  minister  as  he  i^reached  during 
Virginia's  Day  of  Fasting  and  Prayer. 
Adult  as  well  as  high  school  audiences 
appreciated  this  colorful  production. 
In  the  opinion  of  the  evaluation  com- 
mittee, Williamshurg:  Story  of  a 
Yoinifi  Patriot  should  produce  in  all 
thoughtful  Americans  a  feeling  of 
excitement  and  a  sense  of  involvement 
in  the  making  of  basic  choices— which 
as  John  Frye  implies,  we  must  face 
again  and  again  if  we  are  to  remain 
free.

quickK'  shifts  to  the  city  room  where 
the  city  editor  introduces  himself, 
continues  the  narration,  and  assigns 
the  story  that  will  be  followed  in  the 
film,  the  arrival  of  the  zoo's  new 
elephant,  Jomar.  The  photographer 
and  reporter  meet  Jomar  and  his 
handlers  at  the   airport  to   gain  first 


hand  information  and  pictures  of  the 
baby  elephant.  On  returning  from  the 
airport  the  photographer  is  seen  mak- 
ing a  print  of  one  of  his  pictures  of 
Jomar  while  the  reporter  is  doing  re- 
search on  elephants  in  the  paper's 
library.  At  the  same  time  a  story  and 
picture  of  Jomar  and  his  mother  in 
India  is  received  by  wire  in  the  press- 
room. Using  all  the  information  he 
has  gathered  the  reporter  composes 
his  story,  placing  the  most  important 
facts  in  the  first  few  sentences  with 
other  interesting  details  following.  The 
city  editor  points  out  that  while  this 
story  was  being  written  other  reporters 
were  at  work  on  stories  of  schools, 
movies,  sports,  and  politics.

are  shown— for  example  secretaries 
whose  many  services  included  receiv- 
ing comic  strip  mats  sent  to  this  news- 
paper and  others  by  mail.  An  artist 
is  seen  at  work  on  an  advertisement 
for  a  clothes  dryer— he  decides  that  by 
drawing  "a  yellow  sun  inside  the 
clothes  dryer  he  should  make  the 
people  even  feel  the  heat."  Advertis- 
ing's function  is  explained  as  giving 
people  information  on  products  they 
can  buy. 

The  deadline  is  near,  and  the  Jomar 
story  and  photograph  are  received  by 
the  city  editor.  After  his  approval  the 
story  is  passed  to  the  make-up  editor 
who  allots  it  and  the  dryer  ad  their 
space  on  the  page.  The  copy-reader 
is  viewed  checking  the  story  and  writ- 
ing the  headline  "Jomar  Is  Here." 

The  story  is  now  received  in  the 
composing  room  where  a  linotype 
operator  sets  the  type  in  lines  cast 
in  type-metal.  Proofs  of  the  type  are 
sent  to  a  proof-reader  for  final  check- 
ing and  the  approved  story  is  as- 
sembled with  a  cut  of  the  Jomar  pic- 
ture and  the  dryer  ad  on  the  page  by 
the  make-up  man  in  accordance  with 
the  layout  furnished  by  the  make-up 
editor. 

In  the  final  series  of  sequences  the 
page  of  the  paper  is  followed  from  its 


flat  form  to  the  creation  of  a  curved 
paper  mat  that  exactly  duplicates  the 
metal  type  and  illustrations  on  the 
page  form.  Using  this  mat  a  curved 
metal  press  plate  is  cast  from  which 
the  paper  is  printed.  In  the  pressroom 
the  plates  are  seen  arriving  on  convey- 
or tracks  and  attached  to  the  presses; 
rolls  of  paper  weighing  almost  a  ton 
are  brought  into  position;  ink  from 
buckets  is  added  to  the  press;  the 
presses  begin  to  roll  slowly  so  the 
pressmen  can  check  the  run;  all  ad- 
justments are  made;  and  the  order 
is  given  to  run  the  presses  at  full 
speed.  As  the  printed  sheet  comes  off 
the  press  it  is  folded,  cut,  bundled, 
and  slid  down  a  chute  to  waiting  de- 
livery trucks.  The  pressroom  sequence 
also  briefly  points  out  how  the  two- 
color  printing  operation  is  accomplish- 
ed by  showing  the  "yellow  sun"  being 
printed  in  the  dryer  ad. 

In  the  closing  sequence  the  variety 
of  reader  interests  in  certain  sections 
of  the  paper  is  discussed.  As  the  film 
closes  the  city  editor  receives  his  paper 
and  states  that  he  likes  his  job  of 
bringing  news  to  the  community.

complexity  often  inherent  in  such  field 
trips;  however  it  could  also  serve  as 
a  preparatory  or  review  activity  for 
a  field  trip  to  a  newspaper  plant.  The 
step-by-step,  accurate,  concise  pres- 
entation never  glamorizes  or  over- 
simplifies its  subject  or  gives  miscon- 
ceptions of  journalism  terms.  Its  au- 
diences are  intermediate  grades  and 
junior  high  school  English  and  social 
studies  classes  who  have  little  need 
for  technical  jargon  but  need  to  be 
able  to  visualize  the  sequential  proc- 
esses in  newspaper  publishing.  In  this 
the  film  does  an  admirable  job,  but 
if  detailed  comprehension  is  expected 
more  than  a  single  showing  may  be 
required  for  those  not  familiar  with 
newspaper  operation  due  to  the  often 
rapid  pacing  of  the  film. 

The  elephant  story  is  felt  by  the 
committee  to  be  a  good  vehicle  for  the 
target  audiences.  A  weakness  of  the 
film  is  that  while  its  title  and  study 
guide  claim  it  shows  the  paper's  rela- 
tion to  the  community  this  is  only 
briefly  touched  on  as  a  side  issue  to 
the  production  process.  To  the  addi- 
tional credit  of  the  film,  however,  is 
the  lack  of  lengthy  credits  and  titles, 
and  the  film  substitutes  the  sound  of 
presses  and  typewriters  for  mood 
music.  The  consensus  of  the  commit- 
tee was  that  this  is  an  excellent  film 
for  contributing  to  the  understanding 
of  newspaper  operation  and  can  play 
an  important  role  in  English  class  units 
on  journalism  and  social  studies  units 
on  community  services.

R.  Line,  in  3—17V2  min.  sections,  16-

■section  when  purchased  separately  or

Description 

This  triptych  of  Lincoln  encom- 
passes the  whole  span  of  his  life  in 
a  somewhat  idyllic  manner  and  pre- 
sents to  the  viewer  a  sensitive  and, 
in  the  main,  a  balanced  synthesis  of 
the  man  and  his  era. 

In  limning  the  profound  greatness, 
tragedy  and  pathos  of  this  truly  uni- 
versal humanitarian  no  actors  are  em- 
ployed. Instead,  sculpture  both  in  the 
round  and  bas  relief,  memorials,  and 
restorations  are  interspersed  with 
bucolic  shots  of  the  wilderness  and 
frontier  that  exerted  such  a  deep  and 


662 


Educational  ScreeiN  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  1959 


ipervasive  influence  on  him.  This  me- 
lange is  further  held  together  by  an 
unseen  narrator  and  a  speaker  who 
reads  appropriate  quotes  in  an  effect- 
ive manner— all  this  set  against  the 
mature  and  sculpture  leitmotif. 

Reel  one,  "Lincoln's  Youth"  in  Ken- 
tucky and  Indiana,  traverses  familiar 
ground  and  perhaps  succeeds  best  in 
capturing  the  strength  and  unsophis- 
ticated homespun  quality  of  the  man. 
The  influence  of  his  mother,  Nancy 
Hanks  Lincoln,  and  his  older  sister, 
Sarah,  is  treated  as  well  as  his  meager 
formal  schooling  and  insatiable  love 
of  books.  Thus,  in  the  words  of  the 
narrator,  "It  was  here  in  the  frontier 
that  Lincoln  spent  fourteen  years  of 
his  life  and  it  was  the  frontier  that 
made  Lincoln  and  shaped  his  destiny." 

Reel  two,  "The  Illinois  Years,"  fol- 
lows Lincoln  from  the  age  of  twenty- 
one  years  through  his  election,  his 
imove  to  Washington  and  the  Presi- 
dency. Here  one  again  encounters  the 
familiar— Stephen  A.  Douglas,  William 
H.  Hemdon  and  Mary  Todd.  Indeed, 
it  was  Mary  Todd,  the  Kentucky 
(aristocrat,  whose  towering  patience 
and  burning  ambition  were  a  powerful 
factor  in  his  greatness.  Furthermore 
it  was  during  these  crucial  years  that 


Lincoln  took  his  forthright  stand 
against  the  Mexican  War  which  he 
branded  as  aggression  even  though  it 
spelled  political  suicide.  Here  too,  he 
further  matured  into  a  man  of  depth 
and  compassion.  Again  in  the  laconic 
words  of  the  narrator,  "Lincoln  left 
the  prairie  and  headed  toward  Wash- 
ington and  immortality." 

The  final  reel,  "The  War  Years," 
begins  with  his  inauguration  on  March 
4,  1861,  set  against  the  lowering  war 
clouds  and  it  stresses  Buchanan's  fail- 
ure to  stem  the  tide  of  fratricide  which 
was  engulfing  the  nation.  Throughout 
this  taut  and  poignant  era  Lincoln 
was  borne  down  with  tragedy  —  the 
criticism  arising  from  the  fact  that 
his  wife's  relatives  were  fighting  on 
the  side  of  the  Confederacy,  the  death 
of  his  son  Willie,  the  herculean  pros- 
ecution of  the  war— yet  he  continued 
to  grow  in  greatness,  humility,  and 
mercy.  And  it  was  from  this  period  of 
his  life  that  we  draw  the  strongest  evi- 
dence of  his  greatness,  from  his  words 
of  comfort  and  solicitude  to  a  soldier's 
sorrowing  mother  to  the  profound 
heights  he  reached  at  the  site  of  Get- 
ty.sburg. 


Appraisal 

Within  the  framework  of  static 
sculpture  and  monuments  of  often 
questionable  artistic  merit,  the  film 
succeeds  surprisingly  well  in  captur- 
ing the  greatness  of  the  man  and  his 
impact  upon  history.  Divided  into 
three  parts  which  may  be  used  to- 
gether or  individually,  the  film  is 
chiefly  recommended  for  use  on  the 
elementary  and  junior  high  school 
levels.  It  should  be  useful  in  providing 
a  general  background  for  the  study 
of  Lincoln's  life.  Part  II  should  make 
an  important  contribution  to  develop- 
ing an  understanding  of  the  life  of 
Lincoln  as  it  prepared  him  for  his  role 
as  president,  and  Part  III  should  es- 
pecially help  in  developing  an  under- 
standing of  Lincoln's  role  in  the  Civil 
War.  It  should  be  noted,  however,  that 
certain  areas  such  as  the  largely 
apocryphal  Ann  Rutledge  episode, 
Hemdon's  view  of  Lincoln,  and  Mary 
Todd  Lincoln's  controversial  side  are 
discreetly  skirted;  that  the  legislature 
years  are  not  touched  upon;  and  that 
in  some  scenes  a  jarring  note  is  a  mod- 
em flag  instead  of  the  one  of  Lincoln's 
day.

Business  View  of  59/60 

Not  only  are  the  professional  and 
trade  associations  looking  forward  to 
1960  to  set  a  new  high  water  mark  of 
audiovisual  progress,  but  many  indi- 
vidual manufacturers  and  producers  ex- 
press the  same  view  in  their  own 
markets. 

L.  E.  Gillingham,  director  of  market- 
ing for  the  Altec  Lansing  Corporation 
comments  on  "numerous  inquiries  for 
assistance  in  improving  the  audio  facili- 
ties in  schools  and  auditoriums"  from 
educators  who  "are  becoming  more  re- 
ceptive to  higher  quality  reproduction 
rather  than  just  price  conscious."  This 
applies  to  stereo  as  well  as  to  public 
address  equipment  "of  much  wider  fre- 
quency response." 

The  year  1959  was  a  banner  year  for 
Da-Lite  Screen  Company,  according  to 
ts  president,  Chester  C.  Cooley — and  in- 
cidentally it  was  Da-Lite's  50th  anni- 
versary in  screen  manufacture.  The  year 
saw  the  growth  of  the  photographic  in- 
dustry into  a  "very  important  part  of 
jur  country's  economy,"  according  to 
Mr.  Cooley,  and  the  introduction  of 
much  new  and  improved  photographic 
equipment  fully  justifies  his  company's 
olans  for  further  capital  investment 
during  the  next  five  years  to  meet  the 
'rowing  demand,  he  said. 

John  R.  O'Neill,  sales  promotion  man- 
Uger  for  the  Tecnifax  Corporation,  bases 
liis  forecasts  on  personal  contact  with 
[Tiany  leading  audiovisual  specialists 
A'ho  attended  his  company's  workshop- 
seminars  in  visual  communication.  The 
^Jalional  Defense  Education  Act  has 
stimulated  interest  especially  in  the  pro- 
luction  of  materials  for  overhead  pro- 
ection,  according  to  Mr.  O'Neill.  "The 
jse  of  visual  techniques  for  improved 
nstruction  will  be  greatly  accelerated 
n  1960,  and  there  will  be  considerable 
exploration  of  large-group  instruction," 

Airborne    ETV   To    Boom 
Receiver  Market 

Some  13,000  schools  and  colleges  with- 
n  a  200-mile  radius  of  Purdue  Univer- 
ity  may  become  hot  prospects  for  the 
jurchase  of  UHF  receivers  if  a  Ford 
foundation  -  supported  "Stratovision" 
)roject  lives  up  to  its  advance  billing. 
V  $7-million  budget  is  to  send  a  DC-7 
■ircling  at  20,000  feet  to  retelecast  pro- 
:rams  to  a  school  population  stretching 
rom  Milwaukee  to  Louisville.  Starting 
vith  two  UHF  channels,  it  is  anticipat- 
id  that  a  new  "narrow  band"  techno- 
ogical  breakthrough  will  double  the 
land  capacity  and  possibly  boost  the 
ilanned  24  half-hour  lessons  daily  to 
s  high  as  72.  Special  receivers  would 
lave  to  be  purchased  by  the  schools  to 
landle   narrow-band    telecasts. 


Teaching  Machines 

Teaching  machines  about  the  size  of 
typewriter  and  designed  for  individ- 
al  student  instruction  are  undergoing 
ield  testing  by  their  developer.  The 
Iheem  Manufacturing  Company  of  New 
ork.  They  are  to  be  made  in  Los 
ngeles  by  Califone,  recently  merged 
s  the  Rheem-Califone  Co.  in  a  report- 
d   $1    million   deal.   There   are  Rheem 


plants  in  15  other  cities  in  the  U.S.A. 
and   in    15   other   countries. 

Moon  Shot  Boosts  Sales 

The  midyear  meeting  (Oct.  13-16)  of 
the  Laboratory  Apparatus  and  Optical 
Sections  of  the  Scientific  Apparatus 
Makers  Association,  was  told  in  a  report 
prepared  by  John  A.  Robbins,  manager 
of  Bausch  &  Lomb's  Customer  and  Sales 
Quotas  Department,  that  the  Russian 
moon  shot  would  strengthen  both  the 
demand  for  science  instruments  in 
schools  and  continuance  of  federal  as- 
sistance for  their  purchase.  Another 
committee  report,  by  James  C.  Jacob- 
son,  president,  Voland  and  Sons,  Inc., 
stressed  industry's  vital  role  in  science 
and  science  education  and  outlined 
plans  for  meeting  the  various  aspects 
of  the  science  instruction  crisis. 


RCA  Plugs   Color-TV 
For  Schools 

A  $100,000  contribution  to  the  early- 
morning  "Continental  Classroom"  col- 
lege-credit TV  program  and  a  special 
price  offer  on  21  in.  color  sets  is  being 
made  by  RCA  in  support  of  the  first 
color  telecast  series  to  be  included  in 
this  program.  Dr.  John  F.  Baxter  of  the 
University  of  Florida  will  teach  the 
"Modern  Chemistry"  colorcast  course 
on  more  than  150  TV  stations.  Over  300 
colleges  and  universities  will  offer 
credit  to  students  satisfactorily  com- 
pleting the  course.  "Continental  Class- 
room" is  telecast  Monday  through  Fri- 
day through  May  27,   1960. 


Records  Via  AV  Channels? 

Ever  since  their  official  debut  on  an 
NEA  program  back  in  1912,  educational 
phonograph  recordings  have  for  the 
most  part  reached  the  user  through 
other  than  AV  trade  channels.  This 
magazine  lists  them  right  along  with 
other  materials  but  few  AV  dealers  push 
their  sale.  Growing  recognition  of  the 
need  for  special  sales  channels  to  reach 
the  school  market  is  reflected  in  Co- 
lumbia Records  appointment  of  Spencer 
Press,  Inc.,  Chicago,  as  a  distributor.  A 
similar  announcement  comes  from 
Record,  Book  and  Film  Sales,  Inc.,  New 
York,  for  the  extensive  educational  line 
created  by  Folkways.

rights  to  filmstrips  produced  from  Walt 
Disney  cartoon  subjects.  Production 
plans  also  include  39  half-hour  films 
and  several  series  of  filmstrips  based  on 
the  Old  Testament.  A  30  percent  in- 
crease in  production  is  forecast  for  1960- 
61  by  executive  vice-president,  Ben  B. 
Odell. 


Two  Consumer  Shows 

The  Magnetic  Recording  Industry  As- 
sociation is  sponsoring  two  hi-fi  con- 
sumer shows  on  an  all-industry  basis 
in  California.  The  dates:  Los  Angeles 
(Pan-Pacific  Auditorium)  Jan.  13-17; 
San  Francisco  (Cow  Palace)  January 
23-26.  MRIA  now  has  46  members  rep- 
resenting all  facets  of  the  industry, 
(latest  to  join,  Columbia  Records). 

500th  Videotape 

Ampex  announces  the  shipment  of  the 
500th  production  model  of  their  tape 
recorder— in  less  than  two  years  from 
the  time  the  first  was  shipped  (to  Sta- 
tion KING-TV,  Seattle).  The  world's 
first  educational  videotape  network  is 
being  set  up  with  recorders  on  43  educa- 
tional TV  stations  and  a  tape  duplicat- 
ing center  at  Ann  Arbor,  Mich. 

"FilMagic"  Patent  Granted 

U.  S.  Patent  No.  2,908,246  was  granted 
to  two  Distributors'  Group  executives 
on  October  15  for  a  "Lubricant  Dis- 
penser for  Lubricating  Strip  Material," 
tech  talk  for  the  pylon  applicator  of 
silicone  fluid  to  motion  picture  film  and 
recording  tape. 

Colortape  Interchangeable 

RCA  announces  achievement  of  inter- 
changeability  of  color  TV  tape  record- 
ings. Heretofore  the  head  assembly  has 
been  stored  with  the  recorded  material 
so  that  the  same  head  would  be  used 
for  playback.  Now  tape  made  on  one 
RCA  machine  can  be  played  back  on 
another,  and  even  on  machines  of  other 
make  that  hold  to  the  same  standards. 

Colonial  Williamsburg  Discounts 

The  touch  of  the  educator  "gone  com- 
mercial" (without  ceasing  to  be  an 
educator)  is  seen  in  Dave  Strom's  an- 
nouncement of  a  15  percent  discount 
on  replacement  of  damaged  prints  as 
weU  as  "quality  discounts"  (unspecified) 
on  Colonial  Williamsburg  films  and 
filmstrips.  Dave  is  no  stranger  to  the 
commercial  side— has  had  tours  of  duty 
with  McGraw-Hill  and  Jam  Handy  and 
has  been  on  government  service  most 
recently  in  Iran. 

Missionary  Reports  on  Tape 

A  more  intimate  means  of  commun- 
ication (and  incidentally  another  boost 
for  the  increasingly  varied  growing 
market  for  magnetic  tape)  is  reflected 
m  the  United  Church  of  Christ  offer  of 
taped  reports  personally  recorded  by 
its  missionaries  abroad.  The  tapes  may 
be  kept  by  borrowers  for  up  to  a  month 
on  a  $1  service  charge. 

Standard   Oil — Ideal 

Ideal  Pictures  announces  its  distribu- 
tion of  the  entire  film  library  (19  titles) 
of  the  Standard  Oil  Company  (Indiana) 
throughout  the  midwest.

Scratch  It — You've  Bought  It 

A  popular  filmstrip  producer,  when 
offering  new  prints  on  screening  ap- 
proval, notes  on  his  order  blank:  "Any 
program  use,  or  damage  to  filmstrip  or 
record,  will  be  considered  as  purchasing 
the  materials." 


Churches  Try  Block  Booking 

A  plan  whereby  a  religious  film 
library  books  a  set  sequence  of  12 
films  instead  of  just  one  is  reported  to 
be  well  received  by  both  religious  film 
libraries  and  their  patrons.  Tried  out 
by  Cathedral  Films  in  the  Los  Angeles 
area  with  a  serialized  Life  of  Christ, 
it  is  to  be  extended  nationally  and  in- 
clude also  a  similar  series  on  St.  Paul. 


Disney  16mm  Field  Men 

Disney  Productions  16mm  Division 
announces  the  appointment  of  three 
field  men  to  maintain  closer  contact 
with  educational  and  business  film 
customers.  The  men:  E.  Bradley  Marks 
(East),  Charles  Jessen  (Midwest),  and 
Carl  Barth  (West).  This  marks  a  major 
expansion  in  the  16mm  Disney  mer- 
chandising  force. 


Sound  Projectors  Leased 

Bell  &  Howell  sound  projectors  can 
now  be  had  for  short  or  long  term 
periods  on  a  lease  basis  that  permits 
writing  off  costs  as  operating  expense 
instead  of  involving  capital  outlay. 
Dealers  reportedly  apply  rentals 
against  purchase  of  the  unit  if  bought 
within  12  months.  RCA  offers  similar 
lease  arrangements  on  its  intercom 
systems. 


Video  Tope  Price  Coming  Down 

Two  price  reductions  within  a  year 
have  brought  the  cost  of  an  hour-long 
video  tape  from  $306.77  to  $282.90 
and  now,  depending  on  quantity  pur- 
chased, to  as  low  as  $248.95.  The  man- 
ufacturer, Minnesota  Mining,  predicts 
that  further  Improvements  in  manufac- 
turing processes  may  bring  the  cost 
eventually  to  around   $150. 


Bruning-Documat  Microfilm  Deal 

Documat  microfilm  cameras,  reader 
and  reader-printer  are  to  be  distributed 
by  the  Charles  Bruning  Company,  Mt. 
Prospect,  111.  The  "PFA"  camera  can 
photograph  both  sides  of  the  original 
simultaneously  and  can  be  adjusted  to 
double  production  by  dual  printing.  The 
reader  comes  In  four  models;  the  reader- 
printer  is  to  be  In  full  production  later 
this  year. 


Trade  Association  Offers 
Classroom   Materials 

The  Manufacturing  Chemists  Associa- 
tion announces  the  expansion  of  its  pro- 
gram of  furnishing  science  teaching  aids 


to  include  also  the  elementary  grades.  , 
series  of  experiments,  involving  inexpen 
sive,  readily  available  materials,  are  re 
lated  to  the  everyday  experiences  c 
youngsters  from  kindergarten  to  sixt 
grade.  A  similar  project  for  older  stu 
dents  has  drawn  requests  from  12,00 
junior  high  general  science  classes,  an 
from  6,500  senior  high  chemistry  in 
structors.  Six  awards  ($1,000  and 
rriedal)  have  gone  annually,  for  the  pa< 
three  years,  to  outstanding  teachers  c 
undergraduate  college  chemistry  whc 
through  the  years,  have  inspired  thei

EDUCATION 

THROUGH 

ELECTRONICS 


Expert  foreign  language  teachers  have  worked  closely 
with  RCA  engineers  who  designed  several  RCA  Language 
Laboratory  Systems.  Each  of  these  language-practice 
systems  is  low-cost,  simple  to  operate,  readily  expand- 
able, easily  installed  and  maintained.  Invaluable  for 
learning  to  speak  and  understand  any  language. 

Naturally  the  world  leader  in  electronics  is  your  best 
source  for  a  variety  of  laboratory  test  equipment  with 
highest  reliability  built  in.  The  rugged  RCA  line  includes 
voltohmysts,  oscilloscopes,  audio  signal  generators,  test 
generators,  tube  testers,  etc.  Several  items  are  now  also 
available  in  inexpensive  kit  form. 

*Rigi<i  endurance  standards  have  been  set  for  RCA  '  LIFE- 
TESTED"  Projectors.  Individual  components  as  well  as 
finished  projectors  are  subjected  to  continuous  testing  to 
evaluate  the  durability  and  efficiency  of  all  operating  parts. 
"LIFE-TESTED"  at  RCA  means  better,  more  reliable 
performance  from  RCA  Projectors.

With  the  Ehte,  your  students  learn

Think    of    the    convenience!  You    can 

show  the  same  film  to  junior  grades  in 
the  morning  that  you  show  to  more  ad-

the  sound  track  to  the  level  of  under-

Cover  Scene 

The  inquiring  mind  at  work— or 
is  it  at  play?  This  Coronet  film 
looks  at  the  environment  under 
which  one  of  the  greatest  thinkers 
of  all  time  developed  the  begin- 
nings of  the  scientific  method. 

AV  Meetings  Multiply 

The  report  of  a  week-long  work- 
shop in  instructional  materials  to 
be  held  this  coming  June  at  San 
Jose  State  College  spotlights  the 
growing  importance  of  these  re- 
gional seminars.  This  conference, 
designed  for  audiovisual  specialists, 
librarians,  teachers,  supervisors  and 
administrators,  will  include  lec- 
tures, demonstrations,  individual 
conferences  and  field  trips. 

The  professional  status  of  this 
type  of  meeting  is  borne  witness 
by  the  quality  and  quantity  of  the 
audience  and  by  the  high  degree 
of  those  participating  in  the  pro- 
grams. There  is  a  lot  to  talk  about 
in  AV  today  —  and  more  and  more 
people  want  to  listen. 

Two  AV  Books  Available 

Attention  educators,  AV  special- 
ists or  anyone  with  an  AV  library. 
Educational  Screen  has  a  limited 
supply  of  two  volumes,  Picture 
Values  in  Education  and  Compara- 
tive Effectiveness  of  Some  Visual 
Aids  in  Seventh  Grade  Instruction, 
both  by  Joseph  J.  Weber.  One  or 
both  are  available  upon  written  re- 
quest, including  one  dollar  to  cover 
postage  costs.

AVCOPI  Announces  New 
Plans  In  Chicago 

The  Religious  Education  Commit- 
tee of  the  Audiovisual  Council  for 
Public  Information  (AVCOPI)  held  a 
two-day  meeting  in  Chicago,  Dec.  1-2, 
with  coast-to-coast  representation 
from  denominational  and  other  reli- 
gious film  and  filmstrip  producers. 
The  Rev.  Alva  Cox,  director  of  the 
National  Council  of  Churches'  De- 
partment of  Audiovisual  and  Broad- 
cast Education,  and  Don  White,  exec- 
utive vice-president  of  the  National 
Audiovisual  Association,  were  co- 
chairmen. 

The  work  of  AVCOPI  in  disseminat- 
ing public  information  on  audiovisuals 
in  secular  education  was  said  to  have 
been  so  effective  that  similar  con- 
certed effort  on  the  part  of  those  en- 
gaged in  AV  communication  in  church 
activities  is  now  in  progress.  The  com- 


Pete  Margonian,  technical  photographic  director  of  the  Moody  Insti- 
tute of  Science  in  Los  Angeles,  explains  the  controls  on  a  time-lapse 
einemiorography  setup  to  industry  film  makers  who  visited  the  insti- 
tute recently.

mittee  plans  to  hold  a  two-day  na- 
tional meeting  three  times  a  year, 
timed  when  feasible  in  connection 
with  some  other  major  professional 
gathering.  The  next  meeting  is  to  be 
held  on  the  Indiana  University  campus 
Feb.  26-27,  immediately  preceding 
the  DA VI  meeting  at  Cincinnati. 

Donald  Lantz  (Family  Films)  is  the 
new  committee  chairman,  with  James 
Thompson  (Concordia  Publishing 
House)  vice-chairman.  The  commit- 
tee's secretary  is  Mary  Phyllis  Young, 
director  of  AV  education  for  the 
Board  of  Christian  Education  of  the 
United  Presbyterian  Church.  These 
three  officers,  plus  Cox  and  White, 
constitute  the  executive  committee. 

Film  Distributors  To  Push 
Films  Through  Rental 

A  national  conference  of  non-theat- 
rical distributors  of  entertainment  film 
was  held  December  3  and  4  in  Chi- 
cago to  plan  for  more  extensive  pro- 
motion of  this  important  area  of  film 
use.  Discussion  centered  on  the  need 
to  make  known  the  existence  of  clean, 
entertaining,  often  culturally  reward- 
ing 16mm  films  as  a  ready  and  com- 
plete answer  to  the  sex-and-brutality 
diet  that  fills  so  much  TV  and  theatre 
screen  time. 

While  the  advent  of  television  and 
the  concentration  of  distribution  of 
some  major  brands  eliminated  some 
independent  film  rental  libraries  those 
represented  at  the  conference  reported 
excellent  demand  for  good  group- 
audience  feature  films.  The  discussion 
was  concerned  mainly  with  better 
communication  with  the  various  pub- 
lics served  and  with  new  sources  of 
product  suitable  for  school,  church, 
industry  and  community  group  show- 
ings. A  broader  meeting,  involving  all 
NAVA  members  who  rent  entertain- 
ment films,  has  been  set  for  August  3 
and  4,  just  prior  to  the  NAVA  conven- 
tion. This  two-day  meeting  is  to  be 
held  at  a  hotel  resort  within  easy  driv- 
ing distance  of  Chicago  so  that  atten- 
tion can  be  concentrated  on  entertain- 
ment film  matters. 

Chairman  of  the  convention  pro- 
gram committee  is  Carl  Nater,  of  Walt 
Disney  Films.  The  convention  ar- 
rangements committee  consists  of  Paul 
Foght,  Roa  Burch  and  Bill  Kruse,  the 
last  named  serving  also  as  chairman  of 
a  publicity  committee  charged  with 
accumulating  case  histories  of  out- 
standing uses  of  entertainment  films. 

Bill  Rayner  of  the  Swank  organiza- 
tion, St.  Louis,  heads  a  direct  mail 
committee,  and  Keith  Smith,  Omaha, 
will  serve  as  liaison  with  the  NAVA 
convention  committee.

Black 

Glass 

and 

Complacency 


Paul  C.  Reed 


We  could  feel  smug  and  complacent  as  we  optimistically  get  set 
for  the  wonderful  new  decade  of  the  sixties  that  is  just  beginning. 
Everything  about  the  future  of  audiovisual  instruction  and  the 
development  of  technological  tools  for  learning  seems  promising. 
They've  even  developed  black  glass! 

It  was  only  last  June  when  we  reported  to  you  editorially  about 
the  newly  developed  "low-light-transmission-type"  glass  for  school- 
room windows  that  lets  in  only  44.2  percent  of  the  sunlight.  We 
thought  this  new  grey  glass  was  a  great  step  forward  in  solving  the 
problems  of  darkening  classrooms  for  picture  projection  so  that 
children  could  learn. 

Our  imagination  was  stimulated  by  the  idea  and  we  boldly  called 
upon  the  glass  researchers  to  come  up  with  black  glass  that  would 
shut  out  all  the  light  and  thus  solve  completely  our  room  darkening 
problems.  Much  sooner  than  expected,  they've  gone  and  done  it. 
In  early  November  a  dispatch  from  Corning  published  in  the  New 
York  Times  brought  the  glorious  words  of  success:  "A  black  glass  has 
been  developed  that  is  impervious  to  light.  .  .  The  glass  filters  out 
virtually  all  wavelengths  of  the  ultraviolet,  visible,  and  near-  infra- 
red spectrum." 

Even  if  these  glass  researchers  did  not  intend  their  black  glass  for 
windows,  it  is  comforting  to  know  that  it  is  available.  When  archi- 
tects insist  upon  window  walls,  audiovisual  educators  can  solve  the 
problem  with  black  glass! 

But  wait.  We  can't  be  so  complacent.  We  get  one  problem 
solved  and  up  comes  another. 

Window  walls  were  bad  enough,  but  now  a  California  architect 
has  come  up  with  the  fiendish  notion  of  completely  covering  the 
roof  with  skylights.  We  knew  you  wouldn't  take  our  word  for  it  so 
we  went  to  some  effort  to  get  this  picture  proof  for  you,  and  we'll 
tell  you  where  the  school  is  if  you  insist  upon  knowing.  But  look  at 
those  rooftop  windows!  Count  them!  Each  one  is  six  feet  square  and 
there  are  over  700  of  them.  Not  only  did  they  build  one  school  like 
this  but  before  the  audiovisual-minded  people  could  discover  what 
was  happening,  a  second  high  school  had  been  built  the  same  way. 

We  understand  that  they've  finally  figured  out  a  way  to  use  pro- 
jected pictures  in  some  of  the  classrooms  of  these  buildings.  It  was 
an  expensive  way.  It  was  after  the  building  was  completed  they 
began  to  think  of  how  the  teachers  would  teach.  They're  blacking 
out  the  skylights  with  metal  louvers  at  a  cost  of  more  than  $800  per 
room.  What  a  waste! 

So  don't  be  complacent  in  these  promising  days  ahead.  Such 
unique  and  bedevifing  ideas  for  school  buildings  don't  occur  only 
in  California.  What  about  the  new  school  in  your  town?  Are  you 
vigilantly  making  sure  that  teachers  will  be  able  to  use  audiovisual 
methods  in  that  school?

At  the  NEA  prize-winning  Alamitos  Intermediate  School,  Garden  Grove,  California,  John  A.  R.  Reed,  Principal,  says: 


"Even  in  these  'outdoor*  classrooms,  showing 
movies  is  no  problem  with  our  Pageant  Projectors.' 


"Fresh  air  and  sunshine  belong  in  the  classroom. 
So  we  built  our  school  around  patios,  using  big, 
tinted  windows  and  sliding  doors  in  every  room. 
But  even  without  blinds,  our  Pageant  Projectors 
provide  brilliant,  detail-filled  movies." 

Looking  for  a  way  to  end  washed  out  movies, 
even  in  hard-to-darken  areas?  Then  try  the  Kodak 
Pageant  16mm  Sound  Projector.  You'll  get  brilliant 
screen  images  because  the  Pageant's  Super-40  Shut- 


ter puts  40%  more  light  on  the  screen  than  an 
ordinary  shutter  at  sound  speed.  Take  the  portable 
Pageant  anywhere.  Set  up  in  minutes.  And  you're 
ready  to  roll  with  a  show  that  takes  full  advantage 
of  the  impact  of  sound  films. 

Any  Kodak  A  V  Dealer  will  demonstrate  the 
Kodak  Pageant  Projector  in  your  school,  at  your 
convenience.  Or  you  can  get  full  details  by  writing

To  See 
The  World 


by  Gwen  M.  Schultz 


VV  HAT  is  it  that  first  attracts  most  stu- 
dents to  geography  classes?  That  inherent  curi- 
osity to  "see  the  world,"  to  vicariously  visit  ex- 
otic lands,  and  always,  of  course,  the  desire  to 
experience  new  insight  into  one's  own  en- 
vironment. 

The  geography  classroom  and  laboratory  bulge 
with  visual  aids— bright-colored  maps,  glot^iss, 
planetariums,  rocks,  atlases.  Remember  the  in- 
structor on  his  way  to  class— long  wall  maps 
rolled  up  under  one  arm,  a  projector  weighting 
down  the  other?  How  we  enjoyed  his  lectures 
illustrated  with  slides  and  movies,  and  how  much

more  information  we  absorbed  and  retained  be- 
cause we  had  seen  as  well  as  heard.  Remember 
him  too  in  the  field,  leading  us  along  meander- 
ing streams  to  observe  erosion  and  deposition  in 
action,  and  hammering  off  a  chunk  of  rock  here 
and  there  for  us  to  examine. 

Must  students  who  study  geography  through 
correspondence  courses  be  deprived  of  the  most 
appealing  aspect  of  this  science— the  illustrative? 
We  decided  they  did  not.  In  modernizing  our 
courses  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin  Extension 
Division  over  the  past  few  years  we  have  been 
giving  the  person  who  studies  alone  as  many  as 
possible  of  the  teaching  tools  and  pleasures  of 
learning  that  the  campus  geography  student  has. 

Our  student  on  an  isolated  farm,  or  with  the 
Air  Force  in  Alaska,  or  in  a  hospital  bed,  cannot 
experience  the  kick  that  comes  from  walking 
into  class  and  finding  the  movie  screen  pulled 
down,  but  perhaps  he  receives  an  educational 
"lift"  even  greater  from  the  supplementary  ma- 
terials that  arrive  in  his  mail. 

SLIDES.  A  terraced  hillside  in  France,  a  coral 
beach  in  Bermuda,  a  glacial  spillway  in  Canada, 
a  submerging  Arctic  coast,  cirrus  clouds  presag- 
ing rain,  a  pictorial  cross-section  of  America 
—  such  things  as  these  many  of  our  students  see 
in  their  private  illustrated  lectures. 

Persons  enrolled  in  Physical  Geography  re- 
ceive about  170  colored  2x2  slides  illustrating 
their  course;  those  in  Geology  about  120.  These 
are  sent  in  mailing  kits,  about  shoebox  size,  that 
have  compartments  for  the  slides,  a  hand  viewer, 
and  printed  cards  that  describe  each  slide  just 
as  an  instructor  would. 

MOVIES  can  come  to  the  off-campus  student 
too.  He  arranges  for  the  free  use  of  a  projector 
through  some  local  agency  such  as  a  public 
school  or  library,  county  agricultural  agent,  the 
"Y,"  or  a  University  of  Wisconsin  Extension 
Division  center.  Then  he  selects  the  films  he 
wants  from  a  list  offered  by  our  Bureau  of 
Audio-Visual  Instruction.  If  enrolled  in  Physi- 
cal Geography  maybe  he  will  choose  to  see  "The 
Amazon  Lowland"  and  "The  Prairie,"  or  "Vol- 
canoes in  Action"  and  "Story  of  a  Storm."  A 
student  in  Conservation  might  select  "Daylight 
in  the  Swamp,"  "The  Living  Earth,"  "Birth  of 
an  Oil  Field,"  "Raindrops  and  Soil  Erosion,"  or 
others.  He  is  also  referred  to  the  United  States 
Forest  Service  regional  office  and  the  State  Board 
of  Health  from  which  he  can  obtain  additional 
free  films  helpful  in  his  course. 

ROCKS.  Send  rocks  through  the  mail?  Why 
not?  All  geographers  are  "rock  hounds."  Those 
who  cannot  go  out  and  do  their  own  collecting 
still  want  to  know  their  rocks  as  solid  substance, 
not  just  black  words  on  a  white  page. 

The  physical  geographer  is  interested  in  rocks 
from  the  stand{X)int  of  composition  and  struc- 
ture. "Granite  is  composed  of  the  minerals, 
feldspar,  quartz  and  mica,"  he  reads.  But  what 
are  feldspar,  quartz  and  mica?  "Shale  weathers 
faster  than  its  metamorphosed  equivalent,  slate." 
Why?  "Obsidian  has  conchoidal  fracture."  What's 
that?  We  show  him  —  with  a  kit  designed  espe- 
cially for  his  course.  He  holds  in  his  hands  pink 
marble  from  Georgia,  glassy  black  obsidian 
from  Oregon,  crystal-clear  calcite  from  Mexico, 
bauxite  from  British  Guiana,  flaky  mica  from 
Canada,  banded  gneiss   from   New   York,   and 


many  more  rock  and  mineral  specimens.  He 
studies  their  crystal  shapes,  cleavages,  composi- 
tion. He  scratch  tests  them  for  hardness.  He  re- 
ceives "tangible-visual"  instruction.  He  learns 
to  identify  rocks.  And  that  is  something  one 
cannot  do  merely  by  reading  a  book  on  the 
subject. 

The  economic  geographer,  on  the  other  hand, 
is  interested  less  in  the  physical  properties  of 
rocks  and  more  in  their  use,  but  he  still  wants 
to  know  what  they  look  like,  those  vital  but 
vague  materials  he  reads  about.  Mineral  ores  — 
copper,  lead,  iron,  aluminum.  Building  stones 
—  limestone,  sandstone,  marble,  granite.  Those 
having  industrial  uses  —  kaolin  for  fine  china, 
and  talc  for  face  powder,  for  example.  And  so 
samples  of  these  and  others  that  are  discussed 
in  the  text  book  are  mailed  to  him  in  a  kit  with 
supplementary  descriptions. 

The  inmate  at  Alcatraz  who  is  taking  a  course 
by  mail  through  our  department  may  not  be 
quite  as  eager  to  look  at  rocks  as  his  less-confined 
fellow  correspondence  students,  but  even  he  will 
benefit.  At  least  he  will  learn  to  distinguish,  say, 
sandstone  from  quartzite,  and  to  judiciously 
select  the  former  softer  rock  if  possible  when 
detailed  to  the  chore  of  making  little  ones  out 
of  big  ones. 

FIELD  TRIPS.  There  is  nothing  that  says  a 
student  needs  an  instructor  along  in  order  to 
take  a  field  trip.  Our  Conservation  students  each 
take  four  individual  field  trips  during  their 
course.  With  briefing  on  how  to  proceed,  and 
the  wedge  afforded  by  the  fact  that  this  is  a 
requirement,  they  brave  their  way  into  places 
where  they  would  otherwise  probably  never  ven- 
ture, and  "see"  another  segment  of  their  world. 
They  may  visit  suggested  locales,  such  as  a 
lumber  company,  a  well-managed  farm  or  forest, 
a  water  supply  system,  a  plowed  field  in  the 
rain,  a  flood  area,  a  factory  —  anything  pertinent 
to  conservation. 

MAPS.  Without  maps  a  geographer  is  a  blind 
wanderer. 

Each  of  our  students  who  does  not  have  his 
own  atlas  may  borrow  one  from  us  without 
charge. 

Small  personal-use  maps,  those  on  which  the 
student  will  plot  locations  and  distributions,  are 
used  in  abundance  in  correspondence  work, 
especially  in  the  regional  courses,  such  as  South 
America  or  Europe. 

United  States  Geological  Survey  topographic 
sheets  are  given  to  students  in  some  courses. 

We  don't  want  just  to  test  students.  We  want 
to  inspire  them  to  further  study  and  research, 
even  if  it  is  merely  for  their  own  enjoyment. 
You  may  not  find  the  names  of  our  correspond- 
ence students  in  footnotes  of  scholarly  disserta- 
tions, but  —  thanks  to  visual  aids  —  a  few  more 
rocks  will  be  picked  up  and  turned  over;  a  few 
more  rainy  days  will  be  privately  forecast;  a  few 
more  tourists  will  talk  intelligently  about  things 
they  see;  and  few  more  stay-at-homes  will  better 
comprehend  the  nature  of  their  environment. 

Practical  problems  involved  in  incorporating 
visual  aids  into  correspondence  courses  can  be 
laborious  and  baffling,  but  the  thought,  in  prin- 
ciple, ought  to  be:  if  it  helps  to  teach  and  it 
can  be  mailed,  put  a  stamp  on  and  send  it.

Meet  The  Telecoach 


I 


A  class  at  El  Camino  College  watches  a  student 
who  in  turn  keeps  an  eye  on  the  "Telecoach"  for 
mid-talk   pointers    on   his   presence   and    delivery.

by  Robert  B.  Schlihs 


JLn  teaching  situations  where  student  perfoiTn- 
ance  figures  prominently,  criticism  plays  a  major 
role.  There  is  general  agreement  that  in  such 
situations  criticism  would  be  most  effective  at 
the  moment  of  error.  The  difference  between  the 
value  of,  "you  are  missing  .  .  .,"  and,  "you  missed 
.  .  .,"  appears  self-evident.  But  how  to  point  out 
fundamental  errors  or  make  recommendations 
without  interruption  or  damage  to  the  effort  and 
the  mood  of  a  given  performance? 

In  the  typical  performance  situation  students 
very  often  commit  gross  errors  from  the  very 
beginning  to  the  last  word  of  the  exercise.  Up 
to  ten  or  twelve  minutes  of  continuously  poor 
and  untutored  posture,  eye  contact,  rate  (too 
fast  or  too  slow),  etc.,  is  not  at  all  uncommon. 
Following  such  a  performance,  criticism,  which  it 
may  be  said  is  already  "cold"  or  less  meaningful, 
is  submitted  to  the  student. 

And  while  such  "after  the  event"  appraisals 
may  serve  to  enlighten  the  student,  it  is  unfortu- 
nately true  that  in  the  majority  of  cases  as  mucli 
as  two  weeks  may  elapse  before  he  has  the  op- 
portunity to  perform  again.  Not  until  then  may 
it  be  possible  to  know  the  degree  to  which  he 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — January,  1960 


has  or  has  not  profited  from  the  criticism.  This 
cycle,  with  minor  variations,  will  very  often  re- 
peat itself  throughout  the  course.  As  a  result  of 
this  pattern,  improvement  for  the  average  student 
in  actual  performance  skill  and  technique  falls 
short  of  desired  standards. 

A  device  and  a  method  has  been  tested  which 
is  believed  to  provide  a  partial  solution  to  the 
above  dilemma.  The  test  was  conducted  in  a 
public  speaking  class  during  the  1959  spring 
semester  at  El  Camino  College  near  Los  Angeles. 

Conception  of  the  Idea 

The  idea  for  this  method  grew  out  of  a  desire 
to  achieve  more  rapid  development  in  technique 
and  skill  on  the  part  of  students  enrolled  in  per- 
formance courses.  It  was  felt  that  the  possible 
disadvantage  of  additional  "pressure"  on  the 
student  would  be  outweighed  by: 

1.  careful  preparation  and  orientation  as  to  the 
purpose  and  the  scope  of  the  program; 

2.  prior  agreement  between  student  and  instruc- 
tor as  to  amount  and  kind  of  coaching; 

3.  creation  of  a  performance-lab  atmosphere 
with  some  de-emphasis  on  grading  during 
"lab"  exercises; 

4.  positioning  of  the  coach  so  that  only  the  per- 
former receives  visual  communication. 

Subsequent  classroom  testing  indicated  that  in 
the  majority  of  cases  a  significant  modification 
of  technique  or  skill  resulted  and  that  the  device 
was  a  practical  teaching  tool.  Refinements  in 
method  and  technique  of  instruction  tended  to 
develop  as  the  project  went  beyond  the  intro- 
ductory stage. 

The  Project 

The  project  started  in  October  of  1958  with 
the  construction  of  three  coaching  devices,  plan- 
ning of  method  and  technique  for  classroom  use, 
and  the  assembling  of  data  on  effectiveness, 
relevancy,  etc.  Additional  testing  is  still  believed 
necessary  for  the  presentation  of  adequate  evi- 
dence as  to  the  comparative  value  of  the  method. 

The  Device 

The  Telecoach  is  a  visual  unit  which  utilizes 
the  checklist  principle  by  combining  signal  hghts 
with  printed  material  on  one  panel.  It  consists  of 
a  main  panel  which  can  be  activated  by  the  in- 
structor from  any  distance  by  a  hand-size  control 
box.  On  the  panel  are  seven  grooved  channels  for 
easy  in-and-out  manipulation  of  3  x  13  in.  printed 
cards.  Each  card  has  its  own  signal  light.  The 
cards  refer  to  elements  to  be  coached  during  a 
given  activity.  The  seventh  or  topmost  channel 
may  serve  as  a  title  card  position  and  its  signal 
light  may  be  used  as  an  attention  getter,  time 
hmit  warning  signal,  etc. 

The  Telecoach  is  of  hinged  suitcase  construc- 
tion with  compartments  inside  for  storing  every- 
thing necessary  for  a  series  of  activities.  Weight 
loaded  is  approximately  15  pounds.  The  dimen- 
sions are:  height  21  in.;  length  28  in.;  and  depth 
5y2  in.  It  operates  from  any  standard  110  volt 
outlet. 


Technique  and  Method 

The  purpose  of  this  aid  is  to  assist  the  in- 
structor in  contacting  and  coaching  a  student 
without  interruption  of  the  performance.  Coach- 
ing may  be  varied  by  shifting  the  emphasis  to 
strengths.  Another  technique  is  to  have  students 
coach  students.  Still  another  variation  is  to  place 
the  coach  behind  the  performer  so  that  the 
audience  may  observe  the  criticism. 

Cards  making  up  the  "check  list"  may  be  de- 
vised according  to  level  of  achievement  or  as 
indicated  by  individual  considerations.  The  cards 
may  be  rendered  in  groups  of  six  related  ele- 
ments comprising  a  category,  or  random  elements 
may  be  employed  to  increase  the  breadth  of 
coaching  to  several  categories. 

Terminology  for  the  "elements"  will  vary  ac- 
cording to  instructional  needs  and  individual 
preference.  It  was  assumed  that  beginning  stu- 
dents could  respond  with  the  least  disturbance 
to  coaching  on  elements  not  requiring  rearrange- 
ment of  outhne,  modification  of  content,  etc.  In 
some  cases,  however,  random  elements  compris- 
ing several  categories  were  used  with  positive 
results. 


Refinement  of  the  Device  and  the  Method 

In  progress  at  the  present  time  is  the  construc- 
tion of  a  Telecoach  with  an  audio  unit.  The 
end-in-view  is  greater  flexibility  of  method  and 
the  development  of  means  for  individual  study. 
To  accomplish  this  end,  the  Telecoach  will  have 
mounted  inside  on  the  back  panel— controls  fac- 
ing to  the  back— a  special  light-weight  tape 
recorder.  It  is  a  dual  recorder-reproducer  per- 
mitting simultaneous  direct  recording  on  two 
channels  or  simultaneous  playback  of  "master" 
channel  and  simultaneous  recording  on  "student" 
channel;  or  simultaneous  playback  of  "master" 
as  well  as  "student"  channel. 

The  recorder  will  be  accessible  to  the  operator 
by  way  of  a  flush-mounted  door  in  the  back  of 
the  Telecoach  case  and  would,  when  open,  serve 
as  a  shelf. 

With  the  addition  of  an  audio  function,  greater 
scope  is  possible  in  such  concerns  as  instruction 
and  individual  study  programs. 


Choice  of  Lab  Methods 

Uniquely,  two  methods  for  individual  lab 
study  are  possible  thirough  a  simple  "switching" 
feature  built  into  the  recorder: 

The  student  may  listen  to  both  channels 
simultaneously  as  many  times  as  he  wishes.  After 
first  noting  on  paper  the  criticism  and  where  it 
occurred,  he  may  then  re-record  over  the  instruc- 
tor half  of  the  tape.  The  returned  tape  would 
include  both  the  original  and  improved  talk. 

Or,  after  hstening  to  both  channels,  he  may  re- 
record  over  his  original.  The  return  tape  would 
include  the  improved  effort  and  the  instructor's 
commentary. 

In  both  cases  the  returned  tape  would  serve 
as  the  basis  for  instructor  evaluation  and  the 
grade.  As  implied  earlier,  certain  exercises  such 
as  major  speeches  would  be  graded  as  delivered 
to  the  class  audience.

A-V  in  Russian  Schools 


by  Millard  Harmon 


I 


.RVING  R.  Levine,  in  his  recent  book,  says, 
"There  are  no  experts  on  the  Soviet  Union;  only 
varying  degrees  of  ignorance."^ 

This  statement  was  partly  the  result  of  the 
enormity  of  the  Soviet  Union.  Sixty  languages 
are  spoken  within  the  borders  of  the  Soviet 
Union,  and  these  borders  define  1/6  of  the  land 
mass  of  the  world.  There  are  bound  to  be  a 
great  many  differences— in  dress,  in  customs,  in 
climate  and  natural  resources. 

However,  it  is  interesting  to  find  that  the 
1,800,000  Soviet  school  teachers^  maintain  an 
educational  program  that  varies  little  throughout 
the  country.  The  curriculum  itself  is  dictated  and 
developed  by  the  central  committee  of  education 
in  Moscow,  and  the  degree  to  which  it  is  fol- 
lowed is  not  weakened  by  distance  from  Mos- 
cow, as  witnessed  in  schools  of  Irkutsk,  the 
capital  of  Siberia.  Student  dress  is  an  attractive 
uniform.  As  one  Russian  teacher  stated,  "That 
does  away  with  a  show  of  economic  differences 
of  the  parents." 

In  the  fall  of  1958,  this  writer  spent  five  weeks 
traveling  9100  miles  within  the  Soviet  Union, 
visiting  14  schools.  In  these  schools,  62  class- 
rooms were  observed,  42  of  which  were  used  as 
the  basis  for  a  doctorate  dissertation  at  Boston 
University.^ 

While  the  walls  of  language  and  history  class- 
rooms were  relatively  bare,  most  classrooms  had 
a  picture  of  Marx,  Lenin,  or  Khrushchev),  this 
was  certainly  not  true  in  science  rooms,  where 
most  often  equipment  was  stored  in  wall  cabi- 
nets around  the  room.  These  cabinets  had  glass 
doors,  making  the  contents  visible  to  youngsters 
within  the  room.  The  walls  carried  many  charts, 
and  plants  were  observed  in  abundance  in  class- 
rooms where  botany  was  taught. 

The  most  common  method  of  teaching  ob- 
served was  the  lecture  or  lecture-demonstration 
method.  For  science  demonstrations,  sufficient 
audiovisual  materials  were  available  to  supple- 
ment the  lecture. 

Great  stress  is  given  to  the  shop  sciences,  and 
since  the  recent  decree  revising  Soviet  educa- 
tion,^ there  is  apt  to  be  continued  emphasis  in 
this  area.  In  machine  shops  visited,  there  were 
wall  charts  explaining  machine  operation.  Home 
economics  classes,  largely  sewing  and  cooking, 
were  using  few  wall  charts. 

A  decree  of  1955  from  the  Central  Committee 
of  the  Communist  Party  declared  that  every  ten 
year  school  must  have  a  driver  education  pro- 
gram. The  driver  education  classroom  in  School 
717  in  Moscow  was  perhaps  the  best  equipped 


audiovisual  classroom  visited  in  the  Soviet  Union. 
Classes  were  small.  Automobile  parts— pistons, 
valves,  crankshafts  —  were  placed  around  the 
room  for  student  examination.  There  were  two 
automobile  units  in  the  classroom.  One  engine, 
with  cutouts,  was  electrically  driven  to  show  the 
function  of  each  part.  The  other  engine  was  fully 
operational.  With  this  piece  of  equipment,  the 
instructor  created  malfunctions  that  the  students 
had  to  correct.  There  were  extensive  wall  charts, 
and  an  electrical  selection  board  at  the  front  of 
the  room  was  used  to  teach  road  signs. 

There  was  ample  blackboard  space  in  all  class- 
rooms visited,  and  corridors  were  liberally  fur- 
nished with  bulletin  boards. 

In  one  class,  a  16mm  film  projector  was  seen 
stored  in  a  wall  cabinet  with  microscopes.  None 
of  the  other  classes  visited  had  such  a  projector 
in  view,  although  there  might  well  have  been 
additional  projectors  available.  In  one  science 
class,  there  was  a  stationary-permanent  screen 
mounted  at  the  front  of  the  room  at  sufficient 
angle  to  indicate  the  possible  use  of  an  overhead 
type  projector. 

In  the  schools  visited,  there  seemed  to  be  an 
ample  supply  of  textbooks.  In  addition,  each  stu- 
dent kept  a  "copy  book,"  a  small  notebook  for 
classroom  lectures  and  homework.  A  large  num- 
ber of  photographs  were  displayed  on  corridor 
bulletin  boards. 

Subject  Area  Breakdown 
Primary  grades.  In  grades  one  through  four, 
there  was  wide  use  of  flash  cards  and  blackboard 
drill.  In  arithmetic,  the  abacus  was  used  exten- 
sively both  by  pupils  and  teachers,  as  it  is 
throughout  Russian  commerce.  Turnover  charts, 
paint  materials,  scissors,  and  construction  paper 
were  also  much  in  evidence. 

Language  classes.  Little  ingenuity  was  seen  in 
development  of  audiovisual  materials.  Standard 
items,  i.e.  text,  blackboard,  were  always  present. 
There  was  no  evidence  of  tachistoscope  work,  re- 
cordings, or  other  audiovisual  aids. 

Mathematics.  In  mathematics,  departmentali-

zation  occurs  early,  and  algebra  and  geometry 
are  taught  in  grades  six  and  seven.  In  most  math- 
ematics classes  observed,  there  were  several 
geometric  objects,  a  lined  blackboard  graph, 
board  compass  and  protractor.  Here  again,  little 
audiovisual  ingenuity  was  observed. 

Science.  The  sciences  are  also  departmental- 
ized early  in  Soviet  schools.  Rather  than  general 
science,  subjects  taught  include  geography, 
zoology,  botany,  anatomy,  physics,  astronomy, 
and  chemistry.  In  these  classes  a  great  deal  of 
audiovisual  activity  was  carried  out.  Classrooms 
seemed  well-outfitted  with  microscopes,  wall 
charts,  and  plants  for  both  study  and  decorative 
purposes.  Often  samples  of  plants  from  distant 
parts  of  the  world  were  available  for  class  exam- 
iantion  at  the  appropriate  time  in  the  botany 
curricidum.  Also  present  were  geology  collec- 
tions for  the  geography  study,  skeletons  for 
anatomy  classes,  and  wall  charts  for  most  sci- 
ences. Test  tubes,  chemicals,  and  electrical  ap- 
paratus were  being  used  in  the  various  science 


classrooms  visited. 

The  use  of  audiovisual  aids  in  Russian  class- 
rooms visited  by  the  writer  met  a  minimum  level 
as  a  result  of  the  standardization  of  the  educa- 
tional program  from  Moscow.  However,  innova- 
tions which  might  have  enabled  individual 
teachers  to  excel  in  providing  an  outstanding 
program  supported  by  audiovisual  aids  simply 
were  not  seen. 

In  the  3100  feet  of  16mm  film  shot  within 
Soviet  classrooms,  as  well  as  the  567  Polaroid 
Land  Camera'^  prints  taken  in  and  out  of  Soviet 
schools,  there  was  an  indication  of  an  awareness 
of  audiovisual  technique.  Five  weeks  within  the 
USSR  is  a  short  time,  and  62  classrooms  a  small 
sampling  upon  which  to  base  major  conclusions. 
The  general  availability  of  audiovisual  materials 
was  extensive,  while  total  utilization  probably 
was  below  what  might  be  expected.

HOUGH  audiovisual  materials  have  prov- 
en valuable  as  mass  media,  they  can  also  con- 
tribute significantly  to  individual  instruction. 
With  increasing  concern  for  "individual  differ- 
ences" and  a  need  to  develop  each  student  to 
maximum  potential,  applications  of  audiovisual 
equipment  and  materials  for  small  group  study 
can  result  in  a  major  impact  on  education. 

Without  minimizing  the  contribution  of  in- 
dividualized audio  experiences  let  us  continue  to 
develop  techniques  to  exploit  the  possibilities 
inherent  in  "indi-visualized"  instruction. 

This  picture  story  is  designed  to  stimulate 
viewers  to  extend  their  own  vision  to  wider  ap- 
plication of  techniques  for  teaching  small  groups 
with  visual  materials.

o  a  greater  extent  than  ever,  plastic  scale 
model  construction  kits  are  being  used  for  edu- 
cational purposes.  These  kits  are  of  pre-formed 
styrene  plastic,  to  be  cemented  together  by  the 
model  builder.  Actual  construction  might  run 
from  less  than  an  hour  for  some  of  the  missiles 
and  airplanes,  to  several  days  for  the  more  in- 
tricate ships  and  automobiles.  These  range  from 
life  size  animals,  which  come  complete  with 
realistic  furry  coats,  to  miniature  space  ships  with 
their  own  crews  of  tiny  in-scale  astronauts.  Most 
of  them  are  authentic  in  every  degree  to  the 
original  prototypes.  In  the  case  of  space  ships, 
they  are  usually  designed  on  the  basis  of  known 
scientific  theory. 

The  majority  of  these  kits,  some  40  million  of 
them,  will  be  purchased  and  assembled  by  young- 
sters between  the  ages  of  ten  and  fifteen.  This 
hobby  has  now  even  surpassed  stamp  collecting 
as  the  favorite  indoor  pastime  of  boys  and  girls 
in  this  age  group. 

In  addition  to  pleasure,  these  youngsters  also 
gain  a  substantial  amount  of  valuable  informa- 
tion and  develop  understanding  from  this  hobby; 
knowledge  which,  in  many  instances,  is  superior 
to  that  of  their  elders.  It  is  hard  to  envision 
youngsters  saving  their  money  to  buy  textbooks, 
but  in  the  truest  sense  this  is  what  they  are  do- 
ing when  they  purchase  the  average  scale  model 


kit.  It  is  not  a  misnomer  to  call  them  a  "three 
dimensional  textbook." 

The  discovery  that  this  highly  popular  hobby 
has  merit  as  visual  education  has  been  made  by 
a  considerable  number  of  educators  in  the  past 
few  years.  Typical  is  the  interest  in  and  recog- 
nition of  the  educational  value  of  the  plastic 
scale  model  construction  kit  which  motivated 
the  California  State  Department  of  Education  to 
recommend  recently  that  such  kits  be  used  to 
enrich  the  educational  program. 

The  author's  experience  with  the  use  of  such 
kits  in  the  classroom  —  based  on  information 
acquired  during  an  extensive  series  of  experi- 
ments which  involved  that  wonderful  group  of 
Ramona  School  youngsters  who  comprise  his 
6th  grade  class  —  is  yet  another  example  of  the 
keen  interest  in  new  developments  in  the  field 
of  audiovisual  education  displayed  by  individual 
school  districts  whch  are  fortunate  enough  to 
have  the  services  of  educators  such  as  Mrs.  Marge 
Womack,  of  Oxnard's  very  efficient  Curriculum 
Materials  Center. 

Armed  with  a  wide  assortment  of  kits,  succes- 
sive waves  of  these  energetic  6th  graders  attacked 
the  problem  of  how  best  to  utilize  them  to 
achieve  maximum  learning,  each  new  group  in- 
corporating into  its  practices  and  procedures  the 
most  successful  approaches  made  by  the  previous 
groups  as  determined  during  the  interim  evalu- 
ation periods.  At  the  conclusion  of  the  study,  a 
final  evaluation  indicated  the  following: 

Primarily,  each  plastic  scale  model  construc- 
tion kit  provides  a  unique  reading  experience 
of  genuine  merit. 

The  method  which  proved  the  most  meaning-

fill  to  the  youngsters  —  and  therefore  the  most 
productive  of  desirable  learning  outcomes  —  in- 
volves the  modeler's  attentive  handling  of  each 
of  the  individual  styrene  parts  used  in  the  actual 
construction  of  the  model,  the  identification  of 
these  parts  first  with  the  diagrams  contained  in 
the  instruction  sheet  in  order  to  acquaint  him 
with  the  [unction  of  each  part  in  relation  to  the 
whole,  and  then  with  the  printed  words  in  the 
same  sheet  which  correctly  name  these  parts. 

Following  this,  the  modeler  is  asked  to  define 
these  words,  basing  his  definitions  on  the  context 
of  experience  provided  by  the  integration  of  the 
parts  and  the  diagrams.  Having  now  a  need  to 
know,  he  then  compares  his  brief  written  defini- 
tions with  those  provided  in  the  dictionary  or 
other  pertinent  texts,  noting  the  similarities  and 
differences  which  exist  between  them  and  his 
own. 

The  aspect  of  tangible  reality  which  the 
manipulation  of  the  parts  lends  to  their  printed- 
word  counterparts  provides  the  basis  for  the  next 
undertaking,  the  mock  assembly  of  the  model. 
This  is  accomplished  by  the  integration  of  the 


printed  words,  the  diagrams  and  the  parts,  in 
that  order.  Again  the  dictionary  —  which  has 
become  as  real  a  tool  as  any  manipulated  in  the 
model  building  process  —  plays  an  important 
role  in  meeting  an  understood  need. 

A  completely  successful  mock  assembly  is  then 
demonstrated  and  explained  in  proper  sequence 
to  the  instructor.  Actual  construction  and  decora- 
tion of  the  model  —  using  the  special  Type  S 
cement  designed  for  permanently  joining  the 
various  styrene  parts  together  —  follows  this 
phase. 

The  completed  model  is  one  with  which  the 
youngster  readily  identifies  and  in  which  he 
takes  great  pride.  More  than  that  —  perhaps  due 
to  the  realistic  qualities  possessed  by  the  model 
itself  —  there  is  an  observable  transfer  of  this 
identification  and  pride  from  the  model  to  its 
real-life  counterpart. 

The  second  most  significant  feature  of  the  plas- 
tic scale  model  construction  kit  is  its  wide  appli- 
cation. It  can  be  utilized  for  multiple  learnings. 

For  example,  the  construction  of  a  plastic  scale 
model  of  the  "Santa  Maria"  might  be  under- 
taken to  enrich  the  content  of  a  social  studies 
unit  dealing  with  the  exploration  of  the  New 
World.  Yet  would  not  the  construction  of  the 
same  model  be  equally  effective  in  motivating 
a  unit  in  the  reading  of  biography?  Would  it 
not  also  enrich  a  space  science  unit  by  illustrat- 
ing problems  common  to  explorers  of  both  eras? 
Would  it  not  be  quite  effective  in  motivating 
creative  writing  experiences? 

The  Ramona  study  indicates  that  it  would 
indeed,  and  that  similar  multiple  applications 
are  inherent  in  the  very  nature  of  plastic  scale 
model  construction  kits,  for  they  are  representa- 
tions of  reality  and  reality  is  not  the  exclusive 
province  of  any  one  subject  matter  field. 

To  sum  up,  the  plastic  scale  model  construc- 
tion kit  is  rapidly  emerging  as  another  valuable 
application  of  visual  education  as  it  has  the 
ability  to  make  learning  both  pleasurable  and 
precise.

The 

Progress 

of 
Visiomark 


by  Alfred  H.  Marks 


X  HE  white  chalkboard  screen  has  come  a  long 
way  since  last  I  wrote  about  it  in  the  pages  of 
Educational  Screen  ami  Audiovisttal  Guide  (No- 
vember, 1956).  The  screen  surface  has  been  im- 
proved, more  readable  and  more  erasable  crayons 
have  been  found,  and  an  erasing  cloth  that  cuts 
teacher  exertion  and  erasing  time  to  a  minimum 
has  been  turned  up.  Six  8x8  ft.  screens  have 
been  installed  permanently  in  rooms  of  Ball  State 
Teachers  College's  new  English  building  in 
Muncie,  Indiana,  and  Ball  State  English  pro- 
fessors are  able  to  spend  several  hours  in  each 
course  projecting  student  themes  in  the  very 
classroom  they  use  every  day. 

The  first  Visiomark"  surface  was  a  swan  white 
shade  of  Marlite,  manufactured  by  Marsh  Wall 
Products  Co.,  of  Dover,  Ohio.  This  highly  polish- 
ed surface  takes  a  dark,  readable  image  even  in 
half  darkened  rooms,  but  viewers  find  it  wise  to 
choose  a  seat  at  a  wide  angle  to  the  screen  in 
order  to  avoid  glare.  Marlite  is  now  available, 
however,  in  so-called  semi-gloss  shades  which 
take  a  soft,  readable  image  with  little  refraction. 

Four  of  the  Ball  State  screens  are  of  the  swan 
white  shade.  These  were  supplemented  in  the 
summer  of  1959  by  two  semi-gloss  screens,  one 
in  polar  white  shade  and  the  other  in  a  foam 
green.  The  restful  foam  green  screen  has  been 
installed  in  a  narrow  seminar  room  in  which 
students  cannot  easily  change  seat  positions  to 
view  the  screen  at  the  end  of  the  long  table. 
Were  the  screen  highly  polished  there,  the  glare 
could  not  be  avoided.  The  polar  white  screen  is 
in  a  large  classroom  where  it  is  presumed  that, 
in  addition  to  student  papers,  slides  or  films  will 
be  shown,  with  colors  that  would  not  be  rendered 
properly  on  a  green  surface. 


When  queried  about  the  word  'Visiomark'  Dr.  Marks 
replied  that— "The  udjective-noun-verb  'Visiomark'  was 
coined  by  me  with  the  aid  of  some  interested  students." 


With  the  cooperation  of  the  American  Crayon 
Company,  Sandusky,  Ohio,  crayons  have  been 
found  that  write  darkly  on  the  Marlite  surfaces 
and  erase  cleanly  and  easily.  The  swan  white 
surface  uses  a  Climax  #1305  black  glass  marking 
pencil.  The  polar  white  and  foam  green  surfaces 
use  a  Ritex  fabric  crayon  #1413  blue  or  #1415 
black. 

To  search  for  a  more  effective  eraser  for  an 
easily  erasable  crayon  may  seem  like  unnecessary 
refinement.  It  must  never  be  forgotten,  however, 
that  the  classroom  teacher  is  not  hired  primarily 
as  a  mechanic  or  audio-visual  technician.  Englisn 
teachers,  furthermore,  are  often  among  the  first 
to  remind  one  of  that  fact.  The  recommended 
crayons  can  usually  be  erased  only  with  a  dis- 
posable tissue  or  a  clean  soft  cloth  and  some 
elbow  grease.  Absorbent  polishing  cloth  #562 
manufactured  by  Cleveland  Cotton  Company, 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  replaces  both  tissue  and  elbow 
grease.  The  instructor  must  be  careful,  however, 
about  clutching  a  polishing  cloth  in  a  clammy 
hand  while  lecturing  before  a  projector  on  a 
warm  day.  Damp  cloths  and  grease  pencils  pro- 
duce only  indelibility. 

The  Ball  State  English  building  Visiomark 
screens  are,  as  has  been  mentioned,  eight  feet 
square.  They  are  made  up  of  two  4  x  8  f t.  Marlite 
panels  butted  side  by  side.  (Marlite  lists  in 
Muncie  lumber  yards  at  $14.40  per  panel.)  The 
screens  are  placed  in  a  position  secondary  to  the 
blackboards,  usually  on  a  side  wall.  Here  they 
provide  a  projection  surface  convenient  for  most 
purposes,  including  opaque  projecting  anything 
the  instructor  wants  to  show  the  class  at  a 
minute's  notice.  The  class  need  only  turn  chairs 
to  face  the  screen. 

The  process  has  been  used  in  freshman  com- 
position classes,  intermediate  composition  and 
creative  writing  classes.  It  has  also  provided  a 
substitute  for  stultifying  oral  reading  of  papers 
in  a  graduate  seminar.  It  is  useful  for  papers  of 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — January,   1960 


25 


several  pages  but  is  most  convenient  for  single 
page  themes,  particularly,  of  course,  those  with 
markable  errors  that  most  members  of  the  class 
are  still  committing.  Paragraph  construction  is 
greatly  facilitated  by  it.  And  in  regard  to  errors 
that  most  of  the  class  are  still  committing,  it  pro- 
duces best  results  early  in  the  course.  A  useful 
technique  is  to  explain  one's  abbreviation  system 
after  the  first  theme  while  projecting  the  student 
themes  that  contain  each  error. 

I  have  used  Visiomark  process  with  all  the 
composition  classes  I  have  taught  for  the  past 
three  years.  Time  spent  in  this  manner  has  varied 
with  the  class,  but  it  would  not  be  overestimating 
to  say  that  I  have  spent  an  average  of  15  class 
hours  per  60-meeting  course  at  the  white  board. 
Student  response  has  been  enthusiastic;  com- 
plaints have  been  nil.  It  is  probable  that  a  con- 
trolled study  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  method 
might  win  some  people  to  using  it  who  might  not 
otherwise  do  so. 

I  am  as  little  in  doubt  of  the  effectiveness  of 
the  Visiomark  screen  as  I  am  in  doubt  of  the 
effectiveness  of  the  blackboard  or  the  textbook  or 
the  English  theme.  I  do  not  feel  that  I  am  indulg- 
ing in  a  pioneer's  dream  when  I  say  that  I  feel 
the  Visiomark  screen  will  someday  become  a 
standard  unit  of  English  classrooms.

In  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Youth  Film  Festival 

The  Fall  Film  Festival  for  the 
young  people  of  our  Classis  was  a 
great  success,  with  a  record  registra- 
tion of  166  youth  and  44  adults.  This 
registration  was  a  substantial  gain 
over  previous  youth  rallies  and  may 
be  attributed  to  a  thorough  publicity 
job  and  the  drawing-power  of  the 
films   presented. 

The  plan  of  the  film  festival  was 
to  present  the  three  films.  The  Re- 
formation, One  Love  —  Conflicting 
Faiths,  and  I'll  Sing,  Not  Cry,  and  fol- 
low with  an  evaluation  of  each  film. 
I  asked  them  to  use  four  categories: 
"excellent,"  "good,"  "acceptable,"  and 
"poor."  No  prizes  were  awarded,  as  is 
usually  done  at  film  festivals,  since  our 
aim  was  wholly  informative  and  edu- 
cational. 

Beginning  with  a  spirited  hymn- 
sing,  we  went  right  into  the  showing 
of  the  first  film.  My  preparation  of 
the  audience  for  this  film.  The  Re- 
formation, began  with  the  hymn,  "A 
Mighty  Fortress  Is  Our  God,"  which 
was  the  last   one   of  the   hymn-sing. 

In  what  context  was  this  film 
shown?  Suppose  I  give  you  the  'intro- 
duction' which  preceded  the  showing: 

"This  is  Reformation  Sunday,  one 
of  the  most  significant  Sundays  of 
the  year  for  Protestant  Christians. 
What  makes  it  so?  Perhaps  we  have 
forgotten  what  the  Reformation  was 
all  about.  Do  we  only  remember 
that  it  marks  the  anniversary  of 
that  memorable  day  when  Martin 
Luther  took  his  little  hammer  and 
nailed  something  to  the  door  of 
some  church  in  Gennany?  Protest- 
ants should  know  more  than  that! 

"What  was  happening  in  Europe 
at  the  time  of  the  Reformation? 
Who  were  the  leaders  in  this  move- 
ment for  independence  from  the 
Church  of  Rome?  Why  did  they 
want  independence?  To  enable  us 
to  better  understand  what  this  day 
signifies,  1  present  The  Reforma- 
tion, by  Coronet  Instructional 
Films." 


Now  the  film  was  shown,  and  the 
presentation  was  as  smooth  and  pro- 
fessional as  is  possible  in  a  local 
church  situation.  The  next  film  was  to 
be  One  Love— Conflicting  Faiths,  and 
I  decided  that  I  would  tie  my  intro- 
duction of  it  to  the  film  previously 
seen  and  present  some  data  on  mixed 
marriages,  the  theme  or  problem  of 
the  film. 

Aware  of  how  seldom  we  are  given 
such  things  in  report  articles,  I  am 
bold  enough  to  give  you  the  text  of 
my  introduction  to  the  second  film 
presented   in  our  festival: 

"Opened  before  us  in  the  last 
few  minutes  has  been  a  panorama 
of  the  people,  the  places,  and  the 
events  that  shaped  the  Protestant 
Reformation  some  400  years  ago. 
Is  the  Reformation  a  dead  issue? 
•  Does  what  happened  then  affect 
the  way  you  and  I  live  today? 

"The  second  film  in  our  festival. 
One  Love  —  Conflicting  Faiths, 
makes  clear  to  us  that  the  Reforma- 
tion is  still  a  very  live  issue,  espe- 
cially with  young  people  who  fall 
in  love  across  the  barriers  of  faith. 

"To  point  up  how  live  this  issue 
of  interfaith  marriage  really  is,  I 
would  like  to  relate  some  rather 
startling  facts  recently  turned  up  in 
the  Harvard  Survey  of  Happy 
Families.  It  surveyed  60,000 
American  families.  Nine  thousand, 
or  about  one  in  six,  were  mixed 
marriages.  Here  are  some  of  the 
things  the   researchers   found   out: 

1)  Couples  with  different  reli- 
gious affiliations  have  fewer  chil- 
dren than  those  who  marry  within 
their  own  faith.  2)  Children  of 
interfaith  marriages  are  much  less 
likely   to    finish   high    school    than 


when  the  parents  are  of  the  same 
faith.  3)  Six  out  of  every  ten  chil- 
dren of  Catholic-Protestant  mar- 
riages end  by  rejecting  all  religions. 
4)  About  half  of  the  men  who 
marry  non-Catholics  abandon  their 
faith.  5)  Men  and  women  of  all 
faiths  showed  a  higher  divorce  rate 
when  they  married  some  one  of  a 
different  faith.  6)  Teenage  arrests 
rates  are  much  higher  in  mixed- 
marriages. 

"These  are  pretty  startling  facts! 
Our  film  will  put  flesh  on  the  facts 
as  it  dramatizes  for  us  the  first  year 
of  the  marriage  of  two  fine  young 
people,  one  a  Protestant  and  the 
other  a  Roman  Catholic. 

"Let  us  now  see,  in  the  light  of 
these   considerations.    One   Love  — 
Conflicting  Faiths,  produced  by  the 
Department  of  Family  Life  of  the 
Methodist   Church." 
After    this    film    there   was   a    de- 
finite impulse  for  discussion.  It  had 
to  be  postponed,  however.  I  suggested 
to  the  young  people,  eager  for  dis- 
cussion, that  they  turn  to  their  fellow- 
ship advisors  and  ask  for  help  in  the 
form  of  programs  on   the  subject  of 
mixed  marriages.   By  the  end  of  the 
festival,    I    understood    that    several 
such  programs  were  already  being  ar- 
ranged. 

The  finale  of  our  festival  was  the 
film,  I'll  Sing,  Not  Cry,  produced  by 
the  Berkeley  Studios  of  Toronto, 
Canada,  for  the  United  Church  of 
Canada  and  the  United  Church  of 
Christ  in  the  United  States.  It  was 
shot  by  Anson  Moorhouse  and  crew 
in  Angola,  West  Africa,  late  in  1958, 
to  provide  background  for  this  year's 
mission  study  of  Africa  by  the 
churches. 

Since  the  film  carries  an  excellent 
introduction  of  its  own,  explaining 
the  importance  of  music  in  the  life  of 
the  African,  I  did  not  think  that  words 
from  me  were  needed.  In  similar  man- 
ner, the  film  closed  with  the  singing 
of  a  hymn  by  a  group  of  young 
Africans  and  a  seven-fold  'Amen,' 
making  concluding  remarks  unneces- 
sary. 

From  the  viewing,  we  went  into 
the  evaluation.  Rating  cards  were  dis- 
tributed to  the  190  who  participated 
in  the  evaluation.  Of  these  147  were 
young  people  and  43  adults.  Their 
reactions  were  as  given  in  the  table

What  did  our  festival  accomplish? 
I  would  suggest  at  least  three  out- 
comes: 1)  an  acquaintance  with  three 
excellent  resources  for  the  year  ahead; 
2)  definite  motivation-to-u.se  the.se 
materials  and  others  in  the  total  pro- 
gram of  the  church;  and  3)  a  deepen- 
ing of  the  appreciation  of  these  future 
leaders  of  the  Church  in  the  qualities 
and  powers  of  good  and  useful  films 
and  other  audiovisual  media.  If  II 
were  to  add  a  fourth,  it  would  be  tliat 
such  a  festival  takes  the  A-V  idea 
to  the  "grassroots"  of  our  churches— 
where  everything  really  begins  and 
ends.

Parents  vs  Children 

When  you  need  to  point  out  to 
parents  or  to  young  people,  or  both 
together,  that  when  it  comes  to  the 
conduct  of  young  people  there  are 
(a)  some  things  which  parents  alone 
should  decide,  and  (b)  some  things 
which  young  people  alone  can  decide, 
and  then  (c)  quite  a  few  things  which 
should  be  freely  discussed  and  de- 
cided as  a  family— then  get  and  use 
the  II -minute  b&w  film  Who  Should 
Decide,  produced  by  Coronet  Films 
and  available  through  them  (Chicago 
1 )  and  from  many  A-V  rental  libraries. 
A  good  film  for  fellowship  meetings, 
for  adult  classes  and  clubs,  and  for 
youtli  rallies  and  conferences. 

Palestine  Filmstrip  Trio 

The  Kings  were  with  us  for  Thanks- 
giving dinner  and  when  it  was  over  I 
asked  son  Mack  (1.5  years)  and 
daughter  Jean  (age  10)  if  they  would 
like  to  look  at  some  new  filmstrips. 

Mack  set  up  and  ran  the  projector 
and  Jean  selected  the  filmstrips  and 
operated  the  record  player.  Geo- 
graphy of  The  Hohj  Land  was  Jean's 
first  choice.  It  is  40  frames  of  recent 
color  photography  describing  the  four 
main  geographic  sections  of  this  an- 
cient country.  Soon  we  adults  were 
invited  to  see  "this  interesting  film- 
strip."  We  liked  it,  too,  so  the  user's 
guide  is  right  when  it  says  the  target 
audience  is  Junior  through  adult. 

Next  was  Bible  Scrolls— a  new  pres- 
entation via  40  fine  photos  and  an 
interesting  commentary  of  the  story  of 
the  Dead  Sea  Scrolls  and  the  Qum- 
ram  ruins.  It,  too,  was  a  'hit'  with 
this  target  audience!  Mr.  King,  ex- 
perienced school  administrator  now 
working  for  his  doctorate  in  educa- 
tion at  Columbia  University,  had  just 


28 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisl.\l  Guide — January,   I960 


one   word   for   tliis   filmstrip— "Excel- 
lent." 

When  Jean  got  out  Bible  Cities  I 
began  to  wonder  if  archeology  could 
hold  the  attention  of  this  after-dinner 
audience.  My  fears  were  without 
foundation.  It  did.  Dotham,  Caper- 
naum, Mediggo,  Jerash,  Gibeon, 
Jericho,  Jerusalem,  Shecem,  Petra, 
Sliiloh,  etc.  went  before  us  in  fine 
color  photographs  and  the  commen- 
tary related  these  ruins  to  biblical 
events  and  people.  Again  the  producer 
was  right  about  the  target  audience 
for  this  filmstrip  being  Juniors  through 
adult;  We  were  hit!  Produced  by 
Family  Filmstrips,  Inc.;  order  through 
your  A-V  dealer. 

Context  Is  Needed 

At  an  A-V  skillshop  in  St.  Stephen's 
College,  Edmonton,  Canada,  some 
seminary  students  used  a  film-clip 
from  the  motion  picture.  The  Rich 
Fool  (Family  Films,  Inc.),  to  provide 
a  context  for  worship.  It  was  very 
effective.  It  created  mental  activity 
before  worship,  a  much-needed  pre- 
face. 

This  is  an  imaginative  and  valid  use 
of  short  films.  While  I  have  used 
films  in  worship  many  times  they 
were  usually  the  context  of  the  ser- 
mon or  meditation.  I  like  this  idea 
of  giving  the  whole  service  of  con- 
text. I  commend  Dr.  Thompson  .and 
his  students. 

This  use  provides  me  with  a  sec- 
ond utilization  suggestion  for  the 
kinescopes  of  the  Methodist  Talk- 
Back  series.  Excellent  for  starting 
discussion  on  deep  religious  subjects, 
these  kinescopes  will  be  equally  use- 
ful in  setting  the  stage  for  services 
of  real  worship.  After  seeing  A  Time 
For  Waiting,  or  The  Apple  Orchard, 
or  The  Fifth  Plate,  worship  could  be 
vital,    stirring   and   soul-searching. 

U.sed  to  motivate  discussion,  these 
three  kinescopes  would  be  excellent 
for  the  discussion,  respectively,  of 
such  questions  as:  Is  Your  Concept 
of  God  Mature  Enough  For  Life's 
Tragic  Moments?  How  Much  Sacrifice 
Does  Love  Really  Require?;  and.  How 
Can  The  Tension  Between  Home  and 
College  Standards  Be  Resolved? 

Technically  these  three  are  up  to 
kinescope  quality,  which,  by  the  na- 
ture of  things,  is  a  bit  below  film 
studio  productions.  Produced  by  the 
.Methodist  TV  Radio  and  Film  Com- 
mission, they  are  available  through  the 
Methodist  Publishing  House,  Nash- 
ville 3,  Tenn.  Try,  also,  your  local 
film  rental  library. 

Comments  on  This  and  That 

In  a  257-page  book,  "Amlio-Visiials 


In  The  Church,"  Gene  A.  Getz  pre- 
sents the  more  important  visual  and 
audio  aids  in  relation  to  the  work  of 
the  church:  objects,  models,  exhibits, 
graphics,  visual  boards,  still  pictures, 
projected  still  pictures,  motion  pic- 
tures and  audio-aids.  His  three  clos- 
ing chapters  deal  helpfully  with 
audio-visual  aids  in  foreign  missionary 
education,  organization  and  admin- 
istration, and  the  final  challenge.  The 
appendix  and  index  make  the  book 
even  more  useful.  There  are  138  well- 
planned  and  effective  illustrations. 
Here  is  a  good  and  useful  book  for  the 
worker  in  the  local  church  and  for 
those  planning  A-V  courses  for  church 
people  and  others.  From  Moody  Press, 
Chicago   10,  111. 

While  not  wishing  to  trespass  on 
the  premises  and  prerogatives  of  m\ 
neighbor.  Max  Bildersee,  1  would 
like  to  mention  for  all  those  who  like 
their  wedding  music  via  chimes  and 
vibraharp  that  Charles  S.  Kendall, 
minister  of  the  First  Methodist 
Church,  Hollywood  28,  California, 
has  probably  done  up  this  package 
as  nicely  as  any  one  on  a  Dot  Records 
release  entitled  Wedding  Chimes, 
#DLP  3187. 

Disagreeing  with  a  Canadian  read- 
er, I  would  like  to  suggest  that  the 
real  reason  so  many  clergymen  are 
shy  of  audio-visual  aids  may  be  found 
(a)  in  the  fact  that  few  of  them  were 
ever  taught  by  that  method;  (b)  that 
they  just  have  not  had  time  to  find 
out  about  them;  (c)  that  many  of 
those  who  took  one  look  decided  that 
it  was  just  too  much  work  and  fell 
back  on  their  vocal  chords;  and,  (d) 
that  most  clergymen  are  not  by  nature 
inclined  to  appreciate  educational 
methodology.  I  could  add  that  they 
often  equate  vagueness  with  spiritual- 
ity and  that  much  sermonizing  is 
bringing  a  mediocre  idea  to  a  slow 
boil. 

"What's  new?"  used  to  be  a  bother- 
some question.  It  is  no  longer.  The 
A-V  dealer  in  the  church  field  has 
much  new  material  to  talk  about.  The 
trouble  is,  as  I  observe  here  and 
there,  that  the  dealers  are  not  'talk- 
ing' via  materials  that  reach  ultimate 
consumers.  Thus  fine  filmstrips  which 
have  been  out  six  months  or  a  year 
are  unknown  even  among  people  who 
want  to  know  about  them.  Producers 
and  dealers,  here  is  something  for 
>ou  to  get  to  work  on. 

Will  we  go  to  jail  if  we  record  the 
soimdtrack  of  a  film  and  use  it  in  our 
church  later  on  with  the  same  group 
or    with    another    group?   My    friends 


and  I  have  been  noticing  some  pretty 
potent  educational  stuff  in  some  of 
these  stories  and  commentaries.  This 
material,  plus  a  dash  of  imagination 
and  a  few  squirts  of  educational  know- 
how,  might  help  us  get  the  job  done 
—if  we  can  use  our  tape  recorders 
in  this  manner.  Who  knows  the  an- 
swer?

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


One  fact  that  delights  us  is  the 
rather  gradual  appearance  on  the  hori- 
zon of  something  we  ourselves  always 
liked  in  the  days  when  we  were  part 
of  a  museum  staff,  namely  "kits  of 
materials."  This  bringing  together  of 
several  kinds  of  materials,  all  related 
to  some  central  core,  always  seemed 
good  and  useful.  It  is  impossible  to 
give  a  true  picture  of  any  country  or 
people  through  the  medium  of  one 
type  of  picture  alone.  The  minute  you 
try  to  do  it  you  soon  realize  how  im- 
portant are  such  items  as  pieces  of 
cloth,  a  dish  or  two,  a  sample  of  cloth- 
-ing,  and  a  good,  well-illustrated  book 
as  additional  avenues  by  means  of 
which  to  help  subject  matter  come 
alive.  The  material  to  be  included  in 
such  kits  must  be  carefully  selected 
to  avoid  becoming  'gadgety,'  and  there 
should  always  be  good  potential  for 
display  pieces  and  purposes.  Granted 
all  this,  however,  we  think  specimens 
and  flat  pictures  give  added  value  and 
interest  to  the  use  of  filmstrips. 
(When  you  read  this  month's  reviews, 
you  will  see  why  we  are  calling  all  this 
to  vour  attention.) 


Great  Study  Prints  (a  set  of  individ-

ual Education,  1345  Diversey  Park- 
way, Chicago  14,  111.;  $1.95  each, 
minimum  order  of  three  prints).  A 
short  time  ago  we  called  to  your  atten- 
tion a  set  of  study  prints  we  liked. 
Again  we  take  this  liberty,  for  we  find 
another  of  our  filmstrip  producer 
friends  offering  a  series  of  prints  that 
are  excellent  for  classroom  use.  Sub- 
jects range  from  Dufy's  "The  Concert" 
to  early  Christian  mosaics.  Included 
are  examples  of  the  work  of  Cassat, 
Corot,  DeHooch,  El  Greco,  Modigli- 
ani,  Klee,  Vermeer  and  many  others. 
These  prints  are  of  an  excellent  color 
quality  on  good  paper  stock  and  all 
with  potential  for  room  display  pur- 
poses, exhibits,  bulletin  boards  and  as 
background  for  discussion  of  art, 
artists  and  art  development.  They 
would  be  very  good  to  use  with  film- 
strips  in  the  same  area.

current  affairs  and  world  history  needs 
to  have  his  attention  focused  on  world 
topics  and  problems.  In  this  instance, 
the  pictures  serve  to  point  our  interest 
to  the  nature  of  parhamentary  democ- 
racy as  it  is  understood  in  Great  Bri- 
tain, how  this  system  came  into  being 
and  how  it  serves  Britain  today.  Con- 
siderable detail  is  given  to  the  role 
of  the  queen  and  modem  economic 
conditions.  This  type  of  filmstrip  is 
actually  a  visualized  newsletter.

state  has  a  colorful  and  wonderful 
history  and  this  kit  supplies  us  with 
a  wealth  of  information  about  it  that 
is  very  timely.  The  filmstrips  give  us 
the  story  of  how  the  islands  were 
formed  and  grew,  how  sugar  and  pine- 
apple grow,  how  the  people  live  and 
work  and  something  of  the  arts  and 
crafts.  By  means  of  the  record  we  hear 
something  of  the  typical  activities  at 
the  great  airport  of  the  islands,  sounds 
of  the  people  at  work  and  some  of  the 
songs  of  the  islands.  The  samples  of 
coral  and  tapa  cloth  and  the  books 
give  us  added  information  for  further 
study.  This  kind  of  kit  gives  both 
teacher  and  pupils  enough  material  to 
carry  out  a  really  thorough  approach 
to  the  study  of  Hawaii  and  its  people 
and  is  to  be  welcomed  as  a  good  pro- 
duction.

Darwin  the  man  and  they  also  give 
us  a  glimpse  of  the  environment  to 
which  he  turned  for  his  study  and  re-

animal  life  he  studied  and  can  see 
what  these  same  Galapagos  islands

thanked  for  giving  us  a  record  of  the 
history  of  one  of  the  animals  most  im- 
portant to  the  development  of  life  on 
the  North  American  continent.  The 
buffalo  has  been  closely  associated 
with  the  life  and  culture  of  both  In-

the  park  areas  of  Canada  and  the  U.  S.

major  portion  of  the  strip  deals  with 
the  habits  and  growth  of  the  buffalo,

and  created  the  binomial  theorem. 

Newton  then  turned  his  attention  to 
the  problem  of  how  to  find  the  tan- 
gent of  a  curve  other  than  a  circle, 
a  curve  with  no  radius.  By  November 
1665  he  had  solved  this  problem  and 
laid  the  foundation  for  differential  and 
integral  calculus. 

Newton  is  next  shown  turning  his 
great  talent  to  the  study  of  light.  He 
is  pictured  allowing  a  circular  beam 
of  sunlight  to  be  transmitted  through 
a  glass  prism.  The  light  beam,  which 
was  transmitted  through  the  prism 
onto  a  piece  of  parchment,  became 
oval  in  shape,  and  consisted  of  varied 
colors  instead  of  white  light.  From  this 
Newton  concluded  that  certain  of  the 
light  rays  were  bent  more  than  others, 
and  that  white  light  was  really  com- 
posed of  many  colors  of  light. 

In  the  next  scenes  Newton  is  shown 
working  on  a  reflector  telescope.  This, 
however,  he  did  not  complete  at 
Woolestharpe  Manor.  Legend  tells  us 
that  a  falling  apple  intervened.  At 
any  rate,  Newton  turned  his  attention 
to  the  study  of  the  effects  of  gravity. 
He  worked  long  hours  and  was  short- 
ly able  to  prove  by  mathematics  that 
gravity  held  the  earth,  moon,  and 
planets  in  space.  However  he  did  not

publish  these  findings  until  several 
years  afterward. 

With  the  end  of  the  plague,  Newton 
returned  to  Trinity  and  his  productive 
months  at  Woolestharpe  ended.  He 
resumed  work  on  his  telescope.  Large- 
ly because  of  this  piece  of  work  he 
was  elected  to  the  Royal  Society  in 
1671.  In  1684  Edmund  Halley,  also 
a  member  of  the  Royal  Society,  visited 
Newton.  He  wanted  Newton's  help  in 
determining  the  reason  for  the  ellipti- 
cal planetary  orbits.  Newton  related 
having  calculated  this  many  years  be- 
before.  Halley  insisted  that  he  cal- 
culate the  planetary  orbits  again  and 
encouraged  him  to  publish  The  Math- 
ematical Principles  of  Natural  Phil- 
osophy. In  this  book,  Newton  laid 
much  of  the  foundation  of  modem 
physics. 

The  film  then  reviews  Newton's 
laws  of  motion.  In  the  last  scene,  the 
film  pictures  the  launching  of  a  rocket 
and  the  narrator  explains  how  the  laws 
of  motion  are  related  to  modern-day 
rocketry  and  space  research. 

Appraisal 

The  reviewing  committee  feels  that 
this  is  a  superb  film.  It  moves  at  a 
rather  lively  rate  and  students  will 
discover  it  interesting  as  well  as  in- 
formative. Both  the  science  and  the 
mathematics  teacher  will  find  that  it 
gives  a  human  touch  to  rather  im- 
personal scientific  concepts  and  math- 
ematical formulae.  It  should  serve  as 
an  excellent  motivational  device  for 
general  science  students  studying 
rocketry  and  the  laws  of  motion.  The 
film  could  be  used  advantageously  in 
the  beginning  physics  class  as  a  source 
of  background  information  prelimi- 
nary to  the  study  of  motion.

My  Own  Yard  To  Play  In 

(Edward  Harrison,  1501  Broadway, 
New  York  36,  N.  Y.)  8  minutes,  16- 
mm,  sound,  black  and  white,  1959. 
Price  not  available. 

Description 

This  is  a  film  of  children  in  the 
dangerous,  crowded,  dirty  environ- 
ment of  a  street  in  a  large  metropol- 
itan area  as  they  go  about  the  busi- 
ness of  play,  adapting  to  and  using 
this  environment.  Unstructured,  with- 
out sequence,  it  is  a  kaleidoscopic 
picture  of  children  of  several  races, 
approximate  ages  three  through  13. 
Its  title,  "My  Own  Yard  To  Play 
In,"  is  the  dramatic  theme  of  the  film 
rather  than  its  setting. 

There   are   scenes   of   children    en- 


gaged in  the  traditional  games  of 
child-hood,  playing  ball  and  bat, 
jumping  rope  and  bouncing  balls,  in 
some  instances  to  the  rhythm  of  bi- 
lingual rhymes.  There  are  others  of 
children  moving  in  and  out  of  street 
traffic  against  the  background  of 
street  sounds,  riding  crudely  made 
scooters,  pushing  box-like  carts,  riding 
an  automobile  bumper  in  rhythmic 
motion,  sliding  down  a  coal  chute, 
rolling  tires  and  hoops— ingeniously, 
skillfully.  Still  others  show  them  draw- 
ing pictures  on  a  brick  wall  and  on 
the  street,  making  music  with  sticks 
struck  against  an  iron  fence,  hopping 
up  and  down  on  steps  in  a  doorway. 
And  there  is  a  scene  of  boys  engaged 
in  a  wooden  gun  battle,  their  move- 
ments a  ballet  in  miniature. 

The  children's  voices  and  words, 
even  more  than  their  activities,  reveal 
the  creativity  of  their  play.  A  child 
circling  a  striped  barber  pole  says, 
"I  am  a  monkey  climbing  upside 
down."  Another  explains,  "We  pre- 
tend the  street  is  water  and  we  are 
ships  and  we  go  back  and  forth  on  it." 
Of  a  rubble  heap  one  child  says,  "We 
pretend  this  is  a  jungle."  "The  sand 
in  the  pail  is  a  cake  and  we  decorate 
it  with  leaves,"  says  another. 

Only  the  singing,  the  laughing,  the 
shouting,  the  speaking  voices  of  the 
children  are  heard  in  the  film.  There 
is  no  narration  .to  interrupt  the  flow 
of  action.  Thus  it  has  a  quality  of 
spontaneity  and  naturalness  not  often 
seen  in  films  of  children. 

Appraisal 

This  film  is  a  brief  but  exceptionally 
revealing  glimpse  into  the  secret 
world  of  children.  It  captures,  in  a  few 
short  minutes,  insights  into  children's 
creativity  which  are  possible  only 
through  long,  iiatient  periods  of  first- 
hand observation.  Yet  because  it  is 
so  revealing  of  children's  creativity, 
the  theme— the  need  for  private  yards 
to  play  in— does  not  emerge  strongly. 
The  hazards  of  the  street  environment 
and  the  need  for  a  safe  place  to  play 
are  obvious,  to  be  sure.  But  these 
facts  lose  some  of  their  impact  in  the 
face  of  the  many  evidences  that  the 
environment  stimulates  children's  cre- 
ativity. The  fact  remains,  however, 
that  whether  or  not  the  film  conveys 
the  need  for  safe  playgroimds  for  chil- 
dren, its  contribution  to  the  field  of 
child  study  is  undeniable.  It  is,  with- 
out question,  an  informative,  fasci- 
nating documentation  of  the  ways  in 
which  children  adapt  their  play  to 
their  environment.  All  persons  con- 
cerned with  studying  the  behavior  of 
children  will  find  this  film  of  consider- 
able value.

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — January,   196U 


AUDIO 


by  Max  U.  Bildersee 


Audio   Variety  in  School 

Have  you  given  special  attention  to 
the  particular  services  which  the  audio 
media  and  materials  can  give  in  the 
areas  of  vocational  instruction?  There 
is  much  to  be  done  here  that's  worth- 
while from  both  the  standpoint  of  the 
teacher  and  the  student. 

Classes  in  stenography  need  the 
help  we  can  give  them.  There  aren't 
enough  recordings  available  commer- 
cially to  help  the  teacher  in  the  area 
of  dictation.  More  must  come,  but 
meanwhile  we  as  materials  specialists 
can  do  much  to  supply  these  mate- 
rials through  locally  prepared  tape 
recordings. 

Here  in  a  true  sense  the  recording 
becomes  an  'assistant  teacher.'  Instead 
of  standing  before  a  class  of  students 
reading  at  the  prescribed  rate  of 
speed,  the  record  player  (tape  or  disc) 
can  be  doing  the  'reading'  loud 
enough  for  all  to  hear  —  and  fully 
standardized  throughout  the  class- 
room. The  teacher?  The  teacher  is 
free  now  to  move  from  desk  to  desk 
supervising  learning,  helping  the  stu- 
dents who  need  help,  encouraging, 
improving  the  work  being  done.  The 
teacher  thus  is  free  to  teach! 

Are  the.se  tapes  'used  once  and 
gone'?  Not  a  bit  of  it— they  may  be 
used  again  in  class  exercise  and  they 
may  be  used  by  individual  students 
for  individual  practice.  In  some  in- 
stances it  may  be  practical  for  stu- 
dents to  borrow  records,  preferably 
discs,  to  take  home  either  voluntarily 
or  on  assignment  to  work  with  over 
weekends,  holiday  periods  and  even 
just  overnight.  Practice  and  more  prac- 
tice is  the  key  to  success  in  this  learn- 
ing endeavor,  and  the  recording  can 
offer  this  facility  as  no  other  medium 
can. 

The  recording  can  offer  variety  of 
experience,  too.  Effective  use  of  the 
tape  recording  can  bring  many  differ- 
ent voices,  spoken  emphases,  timbres, 
accents  and  rates  of  delivery  to  give 
the  students  broader  training.  The 
principal  as  well  as  many  teachers 
can  and  should  be  called  upon  to 
prepare  tapes  for  these  practice  teach- 
ings. 

Advanced  students  can  be  given 
specially  prepared  tapes  to  transcribe 
into  letters  for  signature  and  mailing. 


These  tapes  perhaps  will  see  limited 
use,  but  the  faculty  can  thus  be  given 
added  access  to  desperately  needed 
secretarial  assistance  and  the  students 
access  to  equally  needed  variety  of  ex- 
perience. 

What  is  the  'drop-out'  rate  in  your 
school  in  stenography  courses?  Na- 
tionally, we  are  told,  it  is  a  shocking 
50  per  cent  between  Shorthand  I  and 
Shorthand  11.  This  can  be  corrected 
so  that  80  per  cent  or  more  of  the 
students  now  starting  the  shorthand 
courses  can  complete  the  full  sequence 
of  instruction  successfully. 

Only  in  shorthand?  Not  on  your 
'tintype'.  The  variety  of  business 
courses  taught  in  every  school  can  be 
made  more  valuable  and  satisfying 
through  the  effective  use  of  audio 
materials.  Speech  courses  are  part  of 
business  training,  and  here  the  reme- 
dial uses  as  well  as  the  exemplary 
uses  are  obvious.  Is  there  a  course 
in  retail  selling  in  your  school?  Can't 
you  see  the  development  of  a  series 
of  short  skits  demonstrating  the  many 
points  made   by   the   instructor? 

An  important  aspect  of  every  'office 
practice'  course  is  telephone  usage. 
Here  too  the  tape  recorder  plays  an 
important  part.  Did  you  know  that 
the  telephone  companies,  in  training 
local  operators  and  customer's  rela- 
tions personnel,  use  this  device  ex- 
tensively? Did  you  know  that  some 
phone  companies  make  it  a  practice 


to  supervise  their  employees  by  tape 
recording?  Why  not  adapt  these  ideas 
to  instruction  to  give  it  vitality,  to 
give  the  student  varied  experience  and 
to  help  the  students  prepare  them- 
selves better  for  the  problems  they 
will  face  in  the  business  world?  Tele- 
phone manners  do  not  come  about 
by  accident— and  good  telephone  hab- 
its should  be  developed  in  the  school 
training. 

Salesmanship  instruction  should  in- 
volve considerable  self-appraisal 
through  recordings  and  class  appraisal 
through  student  made  tapes  or  through 
facutly  prepared  tapes  designed  to 
underscore  particular  traits  of  excel- 
lence. More  and  more  the  business 
world  relies  on  aural  communications, 
and  the  students  must  be  trained 
through  constant  aural  practice  to  im- 
prove communications  skills. 

Is  it  impractical  for  the  guidance 
counsellor  studying  the  aspirations  and 
problems  of  business  students  to  re-

enhanced.  It  is  not  impractical— it  is 
desirable— to  give  these  students  every 
opportunity  alone  in  class  to  hear  the 
world's  greatest  literature  as  it  has 
been  recorded  by  master  performers.

dent may  be  served  and  served  well. 
Of  course  this  presupposes  opportun- 
ities for  'solo'  listening  without  di- 
turbing  classes  in  session  or  neighbors 
a  few  feet  away;  it  presupposes  the 
use  of  headphones  rather  than  loud- 
speakers. 

Is  your  school  equipped  with  a 
'language  laboratory'  in  use  only  part 
of  the  time?  Is  this  not  a  logical  ex- 
pansion of  the  applications  of  this  ex- 
pensive equipment— to  the  benefit  of 
the  students?  Thus  may  your  limited 
purpose  language  laboratory  begin  to 
serve  as  a  listening  laboratory  and 
begin  to  serve  the  broad  variety  of 
educational  objectives  which  are  in- 
herent in  audio  training.

your  record  collection  and  make  it 
more  accessible?  Are  you  having  trou-

envelopes?  Are  you  finding  it  increas- 
ingly difficult  to  repair,  repatch,  renew 
and  reuse  the  envelopes  which  were 
never    designed   for   the   hard   usage

given  them  in  schools,  colleges  and 
libraries? 

There  is  an  answer!  It  is  new,  and 
worth  your  investigation.  Vinyl  plastic 
phono  jacket  covers  are  now  being 
marketed  by  Bro-Dart  Industries  (59 
East  Alpine  Street,  Newark  5,  N.  J.) 
and  tear  sheets  describing  them 
should  be  available  soon.  This  is  worth 
writing  for,  today. 

The  jackets  were  developed  in  re- 
sponse to  a  need  expressed  by  libraries 
circulating  recordings.  Librarians  criti- 
cised the  earliest  hand  made  models 
and  were  instrumental  in  determining 
the  changes  needed  to  make  the 
jackets  most  useful.  The  jackets  then 
were  prepared  in  limited  quantities 
and  were  tested  under  actual  library- 
conditions  in  Newark  and  New  York 
City,  and  now  they  are  being  used  ex- 
tensively by  these  libraries  as  well  as 
by  the  New  York  State  Library. 

The  edges  of  the  vinyl  plastic 
jackets  are  welded  and  whole  unit 
takes  very  little  more  shelf  space  than 
does  the  usual  record  sleeve.  The  com- 
mercial sleeve  is  used  to  identify  the 
record  and  the  usually  colorful  record 
jacket  is  enhanced  by  the  holder  while 
the  plastic  protects  it  from  soiling  and 
tearing. 

Once  placed  in  the  sleeve  the  rec- 
ord is  ready  for  regular  handling  and 
circulation  without  reinforcement, 
mounting  in  special  record  albums,  or 
extensive  hand  lettering.  The  identi- 
fication is  visible  immediately.  The 
records  take  very  little  additional  shelf 
space  and  may  be  located  instantly. 
Thereby  the  inconvenience  of  'thumb- 
ing through'  a  large  record  collection 
is  eliminated. 

We  asked  questions  about  these 
new  jackets,  and  the  librarians  we 
talked  to  were  very  enthusiastic  about 
the  quality  and  the  utility  of  the  prod- 
uct. One  librarian  happily  pointed  out 
that  these  new  jackets  are  practically 
self-supporting  because  they  not  only 
reduce  dramatically  the  time  and 
money  spent  on  repairs  but  also  lessen 
the  'make-ready'  time  between  record 
procurement  and  record  availability. 
They  thereby  save  money,  and  head- 
aches. 

From  our  observations  this  must  be- 
come a  widely  used  product.  We  sug- 
gest that  you  get  the  Bro-Dart  tear 
sheet  mentioned  earlier  and  seek  simi- 
lar data  from  other  companies  such  as 
Gaylord  Bros.,  Inc.,  (155  Gifford  St., 
Syracuse  1,  N.  Y.,  or  25  N.  Aurora 
St.,  Stockton,  Calif.)  and  Leslie  Cre- 
ations (Lafayette  Hill,  Pa.).

Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films

course  in  Spanish  for  elementary 
grades.  "Gloria  and  David"  consists  of 
14  10-in.  33.3  q^m  recordings  and  a 
similar  number  of  filmstrips  offered 
under  such  titles  as:  "We  Go  To 
School,"  "At  Home"  "We  Play  At 
School"  "We  Live  in  the  City,"  "We 
Visit  the  Country"  and  "Colors,  Num- 
bers and  Objects." 

This  excellent  series  of  recordings 
is  designed  for  use  with  the  youngest 
school  children  capable  of  learning  a 
new  language.  It  can  be  used  effec- 
tively as  early  as  the  upper  primary  or 
lower  intermediate  grades,  but  may  be 
more  profitably  introduced  at  the  up- 
per intermediate  level. 

The  519  Spanish  sentences  which 
make  up  tlie  series  of  records  affords 
the  child  a  basic  vocabulary  of  con- 
siderable breadth.  Ernest  F.  Haden 
of  Austin,  Texas,  says  in  the  foreword 
to  the  Teacher's  Study  Guide:  "The 
series  was  especially  designed  for 
children  in  grade  one  through  six,  al- 
though it  has  been  used  effectively 
through  grade  eight.  The  original 
series  was  designed  to  teach  English 
to  Spanish-speaking  children.  The  suc- 
cess of  the  English  series  with  stu- 
dents at  all  grade  levels  ....  prompted 
the  production  of  a  counterpart  di- 
rected to  the  teaching  of  Spanish  to 
English-speaking  children." 

The  detailed  study-guide  supplied 
for  the  teacher  is  worthy  of  mention 
because  it  is  designed  expressly  and 
particularly  for  "elementary  school 
teachers  who  have  had  no  previous 
Spanish  language  teaching  experi- 
ence." 

Because  of  the  length  of  the  course 
presented  in  this  series  it  cannot  be 
programmed  for  complete  use  in  a 
short  period  of  time.  Rather  it  will 
take  at  least  a  full  school  year  for  the 
more  gifted  children  to  comprehend 
and  then  to  command  this  material.  It 
is  more  suitable,  undoubtedly,  that  the 
learning  experience  be  planned  for  a 
longer  period  of  time,  approaching 
two  full  years,  at  the  end  of  which  the 
students  should  have  some  facility  in 
the  use  of  the  language  for  communi- 
cations. We  do  not  consider  it  weak- 
ness that  no  stress  is  placed  on  learn- 
ing rules  of  grammar,  but  rather  con- 
sider it  strength  that  the  individuals 
preparing  the  recordings/filmstrips 
believed  that  learning  to  communicate 
verbally  was  the  prime  objective  of 
language  instruction  at  this  level. 

The  entire  series  is  based  on  the  in- 
terests of  children  and  should  prove 
very  valuable  in  direct  instruction  in 
the  classroom  in  which  the  teacher 
may  participate  as  another  student, 
as  a  supervisor  or  as  an  instructor.

tary  instruction  continues  to  expand. 
In  addition  to  the  recordings  men- 
tioned above,  and  those  reviewed 
earlier  such  as  "Spanish  For  Children' 
(Ottenheimer:  Publishers,  4805  Nel- 
son Ave.,  Baltimore  15,  Md.),  there  is 
a  new  series  released  late  in  December 
entitled  "Speak  My  Language— Span- 
ish For  Beginners."  It  is  offered  by 
Dover  Publications  (180  Varick  St., 
New  York  14)  and  is  the  work  of  Mrs. 
Mirjam  Ahlman  and  Zenobia  Gilbert 
who  are  both  on  the  staff  of  the  Se- 
wanhaka  Central  High  School  in  New 
York.  Miss  Gilbert  is  coordinator  of 
foreign  languages  there  and  Mrs. 
Ahlman  is  production  director  of  edu- 
cational station  WSHS-FM.  These 
scripts  were  originally  produced  for 
broadcast  presentation  and  have  been 
heard  over  the  facilities  not  only  of 
WSHS-FM  but  also  of  the  stations 
carrying  the  programs  of  the  Empire 
State  FM  School  of  the  Air. 

Interest  in  language  records  is  not 
limited  to  modern  tongues  nor  to 
elementary  grades.  Caedmon  Records 
(277  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  16)  re- 
ports renewed  interest  in  their  "Gold- 


en Treasury  of  Greek  Poetry  and 
Prose"  read  in  Greek  by  Dr.  Pearl  C. 
Wilson  of  Hunter  College.  This  excep- 
tional recording  which  wiU  interest 
secondary  school  and  college  teachers 
of  the  classic  languages,  includes  "The 
Iliad,  Book  I,  Lines  1-303,"  "The 
Odyssey,  Book  I,  Lines  1-10;  Book  V, 
Lines  201-224;  Book  VI,  Lines  20-68; 
and  Book  XI,  Lines  471-491."  In  addi- 
tion, the  recording  includes  "How  the 
Sun  Returns  to  the  East"  by  Mimner- 
mus,  Sappho's  "Hymn  to  Aphrodite" 
and  "Love  Stung  by  a  Bee,"  which  is 
one  of  the  earliest  examples  of  humor- 
ous light  verse.  The  recording  closes 
with  a  reading  of  the  "Allegory  of  the 
Cave"  taken  from  Book  VII  of  Plato's 
"Republic." 

Another  of  Caedmon's  older  but  su- 
perior releases  worthy  of  the  attention 
of  langauge  instructors  is  "German 
Lyric  Poetry"  (TC  1072)  read  by 
Lotte  Lehmann.  Poets  represented  in 
this  recording  are  Goethe,  Morike, 
Heine,  Rilke  and  Muller.  Miss  Leh- 
mann also  reads  the  monologues  from 
Act  I  of  the  opera,  "Der  Rosenkava- 
lier"  by  Hugo  von  Hofmannsthal.

of  picture  -  in  -  a  -  minute  applications. 
A  new  3000-speed  film  is  reportedly 
fifteen  times  as  fast  as  the  Polaran  200 
panchromatic,  free  of  excessive  grain, 
and  available  in  both  Land  camera 
sizes.  The  new  film  is  said  to  be  so  fast 
that  flashbulbs  are  not  needed  for  in- 
doors photography  in  daylight  or  even 
twilight.  The  8  -  exposure  rolls  are 
priced  at  $2.29  and  $1.79  respectively. 

To  fill  in  the  shadows  and  evade  the 
"pools  of  illumination"  effect  of  ordi- 
nary room  lighting  a  45-volt  battery- 
powered  "wink  light"  <$17.95)  may  be 
attached  to  the  camera.  It  flashes  gent- 
ly each  time  the  shutter  is  pressed. 
The  battery  is  said  to  be  good  for  over 
1,000  flashes,  equivalent  to  over  $100 
in  flash  bulbs.  Included,  also,  to  handle 
lighting  situations  beyond  "wink-light" 
power  is  an  AG-1  flashbulb  unit  with 
a  silver-dollar  size  adjustable  reflector. 
A  4-stop  neutral  density  filter  also 
comes  with  the  kit  for  users  of  the 
3000-speed  outdoors  who  do  not  have 
the  new  Polaroid  photo-electric  shutter. 

This  shutter  (Model  440,  $39.95)  con- 
verts existing  Land  cameras  (except 
the  Pathfinder  and  Highlander  models) 


to  automatic  picture  tsiking.  With  the 
photoelectric  unit  latched  into  the 
camera's  shutter  and  the  focus  scale 
set  at  6  feet  every  picture  is  auto- 
matically sharp  and  correctly  exposed. 
The  automatic  shutter's  f/54  opening  is 
so  small  that  everything  from  Shi  feet 
to  infinity  is  in  focus.  The  meter  locks 
for  special  effect  readings,  and  flashes 
a  warning  against  chance  under-ex- 
posure. 
The  fourth  new  unit.  Model  625  ex- 


I'olaroid's   Photoelectric   Shutter 

posure  meter  ($16.95),  while  especially 
suited  for  use  indoors  with  the  new 
3000-speed  film,  may  be  used  with  any 
Land  or  conventional  camera.  It  clips 
directly  to  the  accessory  shoe,  reads  in 
EV  numbers,  and  may  be  set  for  film 
speeds  ranging  from  ASA  12  to  ASA 
12,000. 

A  new  carrying  case   has  been   de- 
signed   to    accommodate    the    camera

Catalogs  on  Microfilm 

The  missiles  and  aircraft  industry  re- 
portedly will  save  in  excess  of  $60  mil- 
lion a  year  by  use  of  microfilm  catalogs 
of  engineering  specifications  on  all  types 
of  components  and  materials  used  by 
manufacturers  and  designers  in  that 
field.  The  Rogers  Publishing  Company, 
Englewood,  Colo.,  has  copyrighted  for 
that  industry  a  "product  index"  which 
is  shown  on  an  Eastman  Recordak  read- 
er. Similar  files  are  to  be  completed 
during  1960  for  four  other  industries. 

Expansion  and  proliferation  in  the 
audiovisual  industry  has  long  reached  a 
point  where  preparation  and  consulting 
of  conventional  product  catalogs  is  a 
frustrating  experience.  It  is  question- 
able whether  data  on  many  thousands 
of  items  from  many  hundreds  of  sources 
and  applied  in  tens  of  thousands  of  dif- 
fering situations  of  subject  area,  grade 
level,  purpose  and  other  utilization  fac- 
tors, can  possibly  be  frozen  into  fixed 
film  rolls.  An  audiovisual  equipment 
and  materials  file  by  its  very  nature 
must  be  fluid  and  readily  accommodat- 
ing to  new  materials,  sources  and  appli- 
cations. It  is  not  too  clear  just  how  this 
has  been  solved  in  the  aircraft-missile 
instance.  Perhaps  some  adaptation  of 
the  microcard  might  help  or  at  least, 
as  a  stop-gap,  greater  standardization 
of  catalog  and  new  product  announce- 
ments such  as  has  been  largely  achieved

Rogers'  "Product  Index" 


in  the  school  supplies  industry.  The 
8%xll  format  has  become  pretty  well 
standardized  in  film  and  AV  equipment 
catalogs.  And  standardized  punching  to 
fit  some  sort  of  efficient  expandable 
binder  and  a  good  comprehensive  index- 
ing service  would  be  a  big  step  ahead 
for  consumer  and  distributor  alike. 
There  have  been  composite  film  catalog 
projects  in  the  past  but  none  seem  to 
have  clicked.  Solutions,  anyone?

Dr.  H.  W.  Gockel,  religious  director  of

booths  are  priced  from  $246  to  $365. 
Previous  exhibitors  have  priority  on 
space  and  a  waiting  list  of  new  firms 
wanting  in  assures  an  early,  complete 
sell-out.  according  to  Don  White,  execu-

Shhh ...  New  Kalart/Victor  Is  So  Quiet  You  Barely  Hear  It  Run 


Here  is  the  quietest  running  I6mm  sound  pro- 
jector ever  built.  Noise  level  is  reduced  to  the 
point  where  it  never  distracts  audience  attention. 
But  that's  not  all. 

The  new  Kalart/Vietor  increases  light  output 
by  at  least  12%,  thanks  to  a  redesigned  shutter. 
It  accepts  a  1200  watt  lamp  for  even  more  light 
on  screen.  Sound  quality  is  tnagnificent.  A  15 
watt  amplifier,  audio-engineered  for  greater  power 
and  low  distortion,  results  in  sheer  listening 
pleasure.  Entirely  new  in  projector  setup  is  the 
Kalart/Victor  door-mounted  speaker.    It  can  be

HOW  TO  TEACH  MORE 
EFFECTIVELY  WITH  AN 

OVERHEAD  TBMSPARENCY 

PROJECTOR 

An  important  visual  aids  primer  -  clip  and  save  it 

As  a  person  who  uses  and  is  often  called  upon  to  advise 
in  the  selection  of  visual  aids  equipment,  it  is  essential 
that  you  become  familiar  with  the  many  advantages  of  over- 
head projection  techniques — how  it  can  make  your  teaching 
even  more  effective,  how  it  helps  the  student  to  grasp  and  to 
retain  ideas,  how  it  increases  the  scope  of  your  subject  matter. 


For  many  teachers  the  prime  ad- 
vantage of  the  overhead  transparency 
projector  is  the  fact  that  it  is  the 
only  type  of  projection  equipment 
that  is  designed  to  be  operated  in 
broad  daylight.  The  ordinary  class- 
room becomes  a  theater  without  turn- 
ing out  the  lights  or  drawing  the 
shades.  Of  course,  you  must  have  a 
projector  that  provides  the  maximum 
screen  light  required  to  retain  detail 
and  color.  Projection  Optics'  Trans- 
paque  Jr.,  for  instance,  provides  up 
to  three  times  more  light  on  the 
screen  than  any  other  projector  of 
its  type.  Transpaque  Jr.'s  exclusive 
optical  system  has  completely  elimi- 
nated a  serious  overhead  projection 
problem  —  the  distracting  rings  that 
have  always  appeared  on  the  screen. 

Up-Front  Projection 

With  this  teaching  tool,  both  you 
and  the  projector  are  at  the  head  of 
the  class.  As  you  teach,  you  face  your 
students.  You  can  gauge  their  re- 
actions, spot  questions  immediately; 
students  can  take  notes  and  you  can 
refer  to  yours.  Remember,  the  lights 
are  on!  In  short,  with  the  Trans- 
paque Jr.  you  retain  all  the  advan- 
tages of  a  classroom  environment. 

The  very  small  profile  of  Trans- 
paque Jr.,   especially   the  projection 


head,  makes  every  seat  usable.  There 
is  nothing  obstructing  your  view  of 
the  class.  Every  student  is  able  to 
see  both  you  and  the  screen.  The 
more  compact  Transpaque  Jr.  is  also 
easily  portable. 

Superimpose  transparency  over 
transparency,  building  a  progressive 
story  before  the  eyes  of  your  class. 
Transpaque  Jr.  retains  the  brilliance 


TRANSPAQUE  OPTICAL 
SYSTEM 


and  color  even  through  multi-colored 
overlays.  Each  transparency  has  a 
large  10"  x  10"  format.  You  can 
tailor-make  them  yourself,  simply 
and  inexpensively.  You  can  buy  them 
already  prepared,  covering  a  multi- 
tude of  subjects. 

Write  As  You  Speak 

To  create  large  screen  images  of 
your  notes  or  ideas,  just  write  in 
your  normal  size  script  on  a  trans- 
parency. It  is  projected  as  you  write, 


just  behind  you  on  the  screen.  You 
can  draw  lines,  write  clarifying  re- 
marks, circle  areas  of  special  interest. 
Your  individual  technique  is  as  un- 
limited as  your  own  imagination. 
There  is  no  squeaky  chalk  or  tiresome 
blackboard  work.  Use  the  roll  of 
transparent  film.  Write  on  it  and 
roll  it  away  for  a  continuous  supply 
of  clean  writing  surface. 

Transpaque  Jr.  is  UL-CSA  ap- 
proved. It  is  easy  to  operate  and 
trouble-free.  For  a  free  demon- 
stration or  additional  information,

Cover  Scene 

This  is  Mrs.  Robert  N.  King, 
superintendent  of  the  nursery  de- 
partment in  the  church  school  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in 
Glens  Falls,  New  York.  This  picture 
could  symbolize  many  things  to 
many  people,  but  we  are  struck  by 
two  things.  We  see  the  church 
"teaching  all  nations"  and  using  the 
most  modern  and  most  effective 
means  of  doing  so.  Secondly,  we  see 
the  generous  people  who  contribute 
to  the  church  the  even  more  pre- 
cious commodity  of  their  time. 

Mrs.  King  is  shown  in  the  audio- 
visual library  of  the  church.  She  has 
learned  of  the  arrival  of  some  new 
filmstrips  and  has  come  up  to  pre- 
view them  in  the  search  for  mate- 
rial for  her  department.

UNPRECEDENTED, 

COMPREHENSIVE 

4-POINT 
PROGRAM! 


OF  AMERICAN  HISTORY 


...  an  integrated  program  to  breathe  new  life  into  the  truly  dramatic  story 
of  our  nation's  history — to  instill  pride  in  our  democratic  birthright . . . 
In  this  space  age,  a  dynamic  presentation  of  our  glorious  past  is  vital  to 
inspire  young  Americans,  with  deeper  understanding,  toward  an  even  great- 
er future. 

Created  by  outstanding  scholars  dedicated  to  this  ideal,  each  teaching  tool 
is  a  key  entity,  uniquely  practical  in  application.  Together,  in  the  teacher's 
hands,  these  authoritative  books  and  filmstrips  form  an  unequaled,  flexible 
program  in  "living"  American  history.  One  or  all  can  help  you  now  in 
guiding  our  youth  to  a  richer  tomorrow. 

•  THE   CHRONICLES  OF  AMERICA   FILMSTRIPS 


A  signal  accomplishment:  This  recently  completed  series 
is  already  winning  acclaim  all  across  the  nation.  Its 
excellence  was  made  possible  by  the  skill  and  diligence  of 
its  eminent  editors;  it  was  economically  feasible  through 
the  documentary  photoplays  (10  years  in  the  making) 
from  which  it  drew  most  of  its  valuable  source  material, 
available  nowhere  else. 

The  result:  Thrilling  "adventures  in  democracy";  Colum- 
bus, the  early  settlers,  the  War  of  Independence,  the 
opening  of  the  West,  Washington,  Lincoln,  the  War 
Between  the  States — a  new,  exceptional  teaching  medium 
in  an  unusual  program!

The  two  series  of  filmstrips  were  created  under  the  editorial  direction  of 
Ralph  H.  Gabriel,  Sterling  Professor  of  History  Emeritus,  Yale   University. 

•  THE  CHRONICLES  OF  AMERICA    56  volumes 

More  dramatic  than  fiction:  The  great  men  and  women 
of  history  emerge  as  flesh  and  blood  in  these  intensely 
vivid  and  discerning  accounts  of  the  forces  that  have 
shaped  our  nation.  Each  volume  was  written  by  a  specialist 
chosen  for  his  accurate  knowledge  and  his  ability  to  present 
it  with  stimulating  impact.  From  the  early  days  of  the 
Red  Man  to  the  aftermath  of  World  War  II,  here  is 
spirited  history — alive  and  alert — a  wonderful  incentive 
for  learning  through  enjoyable  reading.

Memorable  picture  histories:  Art,  the  frontier,  religion, 
commerce,  statesmen,  sports,  industry — the  whole  lavish 
fabric  that  fashioned  America's  majestic  growth  set  forth 
in  a  procession  of  unforgettable  images.  Standing  alone 
in  its  field,  this  treasury  of  11,500  rare  pictures,  charts 
and  maps,  combined  with  authentic,  engaging  text,  and 
professionally  indexed,  has  long  been  standard  for  use

Texas  Colleges  Discuss 
Closed  Circuit  TV  Net 

An  advisor>^  committee  of  radio 
and  television  executives  met  at  the 
University  of  Texas  on  December  10 
to  discuss  a  proposed  closed-circuit 
T\'  network  that  would  link  11  insti- 
tutions of  higher  learning  in  central 
Texas. 

Under  the  proposed  plan  the  micro- 
wave network  would  offer  credit 
courses  and  other  educational  pro- 
grams to  member  colleges.  Necessary 
transmitter  towers  would  be  built  to 
link  the  institutions  in  the  proposed 
network.  The  network  project  is  be- 
ing developed  by  the  universit\'  under 
a  contract  with  the  U.S.  Office  of 
Eklucation.  Under  the  proposal,  pro- 
grams would  originate  from  university 
TV  studios  or  from  studios  of  San 
Antonio  TV  stations. 


To  Search  Nation  For 
"Multi-Racial"  Photos 

Edward  Steichen,  dean  of  American 
photographers,  will  head  a  nationwide 
search  for  photographs  that  will 
dramatize  the  multi-racial  character  of 
America,  according  to  Theodore  W. 
Kheel,  president  of  the  National 
Urban  League,  the  organization  which 
is  sponsoring  the  search.  Using  the 
theme,  "America's  Many  Faces,"  the 
search  will  begin  on  February  1  and 
continue  through  May  31,  1960.  It  is 
expected  that  both  a  photography  ex- 
hibit and  a  publication  on  the  same 
theme  will  follow  the  search. 

Mr.  Steichen  is  director  of  photog- 
raphy of  the  Museimi  of  Modem  Art 
in  New  York  City.

NEA  President  Urges 
Fair  Treatment  of  ETV 

The  National  Education  .Association 
has  urged  the  Federal  Communica- 
tions Commission  today  to  require  that 
a  fair  portion  of  the  prime  evening 
television  Niewing  period  be  devoted 
to  pubhc  ser\'ice  broadcasts,  includ- 
ing those  with  educational  values. 

XEA  President  Walter  W.  Eshel- 
man  told  the  commission  that  pubhc 
service  broadcasts  in  the  7  to  10  p.m. 
period  might  be  regarded  as  fair  com- 
pensation by  the  stations  for  the  use 
of  the  airwaves  which  belong  to  all 
the  people.  Broadcasting  stations  are 
hcensed  to  use  these  air  waves  "in  the 
pubhc  interest,  convenience  and  neces- 
sity. 

Dr.  Eshelman,  who  is  supervising 
principal  of  schools  at  Upper  Dublin, 
Fort  Washington,  Pa.,  urged  the  com- 
mission, in  considering  appUcations 
for  renewal  of  T\'  hcenses,  to  strength- 
en the  standards  by  which  it  meas- 
ures whether  the  applicant  stations 
have  in  fact  functioned  in  the  pubhc 
interest.  He  also  urged  the  commission 
to  give  priority  to  the  claims  of  educa- 
tional tele\asion  in  all  communities 
where  there  is  already  adequate  com- 
mercial service  by  two  or  more  com- 
mercial stations.  Educational  stations, 
he  said,  have  an  increasingly  impor- 
tant role  to  pla>'  in  the  education  of 
growing  numbers  of  children  and 
adults.

No.  1  in  a  series  of  messages  to  all  concerned  with  better  education 


Exhaustive  curriculum  analysis  .  .  .  the  foundation  of  all  Coronet  film  production 


Each  Coronet  film  accurately  reflects  the  basic  concepts  of  instruction 
and  effectively  fills  the  teaching  needs  of  its  subject  by  means  of  ex- 
haustive curriculum  research. 

Once  a  topic  is  selected  for  possible  filming.  Coronet's  Research 
Department  chooses  the  educational  specialist  best  qualified  to  help 
shape  the  content  of  the  film.  Under  his  guidance,  a  careful  review 
is  made  of  state-approved  curricula  and  of  major  textbooks  on  the 
subject.  This  is  compared  with  the  latest  literature  and  educational 
trends.  Months  of  study,  interviews  and  correspondence  with  educa- 
tional leaders  take  place  before  the  first  word  of  the  film's  script  is 
written.  No  Coronet  film  enters  production  without  this  thorough, 
up-to-the-minute  preliminary  research  to  determine  specific  classroom 
requirements.    Unless  this  research  shows  that  the  film  can  add  a 


truly  new  dimension  to  teaching,  the  film  project  is  dropped. 

Based  upon  this  thorough,  forward-looking  research.  Coronet  has 
built  an  unsurpassed  library  of  16mm  instructional  films  ...  a  pro- 
cedure which  is  just  one  of  the  important  elements  that  give  to  Coronet 
Films  their  quality  of  leadership. 

Thi»  booklet  is  yours!  Send  for  it  today! 
It  tells  the  complete  story  of  Coronet  creative 
quality  in  its  library  of  more  than  900 
educational  films.

Vatican  Film  Library 

Pope  John  XXIII  has  estabhshed 
a  Vatican  film  library  as  the  latest 
addition  to  the  Holy  See's  ages-old 
record  of  civilization.  Newsreels, 
documentaries,  art  films  and  televi- 
sion kinescopes  will  take  their  place 
as  historical  documents  along  with 
the  vast  collection  of  books  and 
ancient  manuscripts  in  the  Vatican 
Library. 

The  Vatican  film  library  will  be 
under  the  direction  of  the  Pontifical 
Commission  for  Motion  Pictures, 
Radio  and  Television,  of  which  the 
president  is  Archbishop  Martin  J. 
O'Connor,  rector  of  the  North 
American  College  in  Rome. 

The  new  library  will  deal  mainly 
with  the  preservation  of  films  about 
the  life  of  the  Church.  These  will 
include  films  on  the  popes,  their 
representatives  and  the  Church  ad- 
ministration; the  apostolic,  charit- 
able, and  cultural  activites  of  the 
Church,  and  religion  throughout 
the  world.  Films  on  art  and  culture 
in  general  also  come  within  the 
library's  scope.

editorial 


No 
Day 
Of 
Rest 


The  editors  of  this  magazine,  since  its  beginnings,  have  acknowl- 
edged that  audiovisual  people  have  religious  behefs,  too.  We  know 
that  most  of  you  attend  worship  services  and  believe  that  your  chil- 
dren and  your  neighbors'  children  should  have  the  opportunity  to 
learn  about  religion  and  develop  their  own  religious  beliefs.  That  is 
why  some  of  the  pages  in  practically  every  one  of  the  384  issues  of 
this  professional  journal  have  been  devoted  to  the  uses  of  motion 
pictures  and  other  audiovisual  materials  in  religious  services  and 
education. 

We  have  known  and  recognized  that  audiovisual  skills  and  knowl- 
edge needed  to  make  best  use  of  AV  materials  in  schools  are  the 
same  that  are  needed  in  religious  education.  It  followed  naturally, 
then,  that  a  good  and  useful  audiovisual  magazine  should  provide 
for  continuous  interchange  of  ideas  and  experience  for  all  kinds  of 
groups  in  all  kinds  of  learning  situations.  So  that's  what  we've  done 
and  what  we  shall  continue  to  do. 

Proud  as  we  are,  however,  of  the  contributions  this  magazine  has 
made  to  the  developments  in  the  audiovisual  field,  that  isn't  the 
main  point  of  these  comments.  We  want  to  make  a  special  appeal 
to  every  teacher,  supervisor,  and  school  administrator,  who  Imows 
about  the  value  and  use  of  audiovisual  methods  in  secular  education, 
to  make  greater  contributions  of  this  knowledge  and  experience  to 
the  church  of  his  faith. 

We  know  of  AV  people,  and  maybe  you  do  too,  who  say  in  efFect, 
"I'm  entitled  to  my  day  of  rest,  too.  I  don't  want  to  be  working  at 
audiovisual  every  single  day  of  the  week!"  But  there  are  real  con- 
tributions that  this  person  can  make  that  even  he  shouldn't  consider 
as  work.  There  need  be  no  day  of  rest  for  audiovisual  materials. 

In  many  instances,  all  that  is  needed  is  just  a  little  more  knowl- 
edge and  understanding  about  audiovisual  materials.  The  right 
word  to  the  right  person  at  the  right  time  might  start  some  thinking 
and  doing.  Information  about  materials  and  their  sources  placed  in 
the  hands  of  teachers  and  religious  leaders  might  stimulate  action. 
What  you  know  about  audiovisual  equipment  and  how  to  maintain 
it  in  best  condition  may  be  the  knowledge  needed  to  get  an  audio- 
visual program  rolling.  Or  it  may  be  your  administrative  skill  that  is 
needed  to  draw  up  the  plan  and  chart  the  procedures. 

Don't  commit  yourself  right  away,  if  you  don't  want  to;  but  we  do 
urge  you  to  give  this  some  serious  thought.  Think  about  the  various 
group  learning  situations  at  your  church  that  could  be  made  more 
effective  through  the  use  of  pictures  or  recordings.  Try  to  figure  out 
what  the  specific  blocks  are  that  are  preventing  the  introduction  and 
P/Zul     C^      R^d  "^^  °^  audiovisual  methods.  You  could  work  with  others  to  find  the 

JTUUt      Vj.     r\.cci*  ^^y^  £^^  eliminating  those  obstacles  and  putting  AV  tools  to  work 

on  the  seventh  day  of  the  week.  And  don't  be  trapped  by  that  tired 
excuse  about  lack  of  money.  Remember  that  in  this  country  there  is 
always  enough  money  for  anything  the  people  really  want. 

In  the  decade  just  passed,  mere  was  phenomenal  increase  in  the 
use  of  audiovisual  materials  and  equipment  in  religious  education 
and  worship  services.  With  your  active  assistance,  progress  during 
this  new  decade  can  be  even  greater.  We're  going  to  help,  too.  You 
can  count  on  Educational  Screen's  continued  assistance  in  sharing 
with  you  the  inspiration  and  experience  of  others.

"Before  approving  plans  for  our  building,  we 
asked  our  teachers  what  they  needed  to  teach 
most  effectively.  As  a  result,  we  have  built  dis- 
play cases,  file  cabinets,  and  flat  storage  drawers 
in  every  classroom,  and  project  rooms  adjoining 
most  classrooms.  When  it  comes  to  showing  edu- 
cational films,  our  teachers  want  and  get  the 
same    kind    of  finger-tip  convenience  from  our 


Kodak  Pageant  Projectors." 

Put  control  and  convenience  at  the  finger  tips

Fine  Arts 

in  the 

Green  Mountains 


by  Janet  S.  Reed 


"Middlebury  College  is  located  on  a  broad 
hill  overlooking  a  typical  Vermont  village  and 
a  wide  sweep  of  the  Champlain  Valley,  with 
the  Green  Mountains  visible  to  the  east  and  the 
Adirondacks  to  the  west . . .  Middlebury  is  half- 
way between  Rutland  and  Burlington,  Vermont." 

Thus  the  location  of  Middlebury  College  is 
described  in  the  1959-60  issue  of  the  catalog. 

More  exactly,  Burlington  and  Rutland  are  each 
35  miles  from  Middlebury.  Williamstown,  Mas- 
sachusetts, is  about  90  miles  to  the  south.  Glens 
Falls,  New  York,  is  70  miles  to  the  southwest. 
The  nearest  large  city  is  Boston  which  is  200 
miles  distant.  New  York  City  is  245  miles  away. 

Just  what  does  this  information  have  to  do 
with  the  methods  of  teaching  fine  arts  at  Middle- 
bury? Precisely  this:  a  college  which  is  located 
in  what  might  be  termed  a  "remote"  spot  pre- 
sumably cannot  take  advantage  of  cultural  op- 
portunities which  cities  afford.  While  studying 
fine  arts  a  student  cannot  board  a  subway  or 
bus  and  go  to  an  art  gallery  to  see  an  original 
Rembrandt  or  Degas  or  Klee. 

Middlebury  College  has  not  said,  "We  have 
no  art  galleries  here,  therefore  we  cannot  offer 
fine  arts  courses."  Quite  the  opposite  is  true. 


With  the  aid  of  projected  pictures  the  colleget 
Fine  Arts  department  and  its  faculty  of  tlwe 
is  able  to  offer  a  wide  scope  of  courses,  especial! 
for  a  college  with  an  enrollment  of  1200  undei 
graduate  students.  Courses  are  taught  both  i 
art  history  and  practical  fields.  For  example 
courses  are  offered  in  the  history  and  theory  c 
both  Western  and  Eastern  art,  in  the  history  ani 
genesis  of  American  art,  in  Italian  Renaissanc 
art,  in  modern  architecture  and  modem  art 
Practical  courses  are  also  offered  in  design,  chai 
coal  drawing,  oil  painting  and  water  color. 

Facilities  for  the  study  of  fine  arts  are  locate( 
in  Carr  Hall,  completed  in  1951.  This  buildin; 
contains  two  lecture  rooms,  a  library,  a  large 
studio  and  office  space. 

Our  major  concern,  though,  is  with  the  course 
in  art  history  and  how  they  are  taught— minu' 
the  benefit  of  nearby  art  galleries  and  museums 
but  rather  through  audiovisual  methods. 

The  structure  of  all  of  these  courses  is  basicall] 
the  same.  Textbooks  or  outside  readings  to  bi 
done  in  the  library  provide  a  background  o 
materials  to  be  covered  in  class.  Classes  mee 
either  three  times  a  week  for  one  hour  or  tw( 
times  for  one  and  a  half  hours.  The  professo; 
lectures,  assisted  usually  by  the  use  of  colo; 
slides.  These  slides  provide  the  backbone  of  th( 
courses. 

An  integral  part  of  each  hour  test  or  fina.; 
examination  is  the  identification  of  pictures  prw

jected  on  the  screen.  During  these  tests  the 
professor  will  show  each  slide  to  be  used,  usually 
six  to  ten  in  number,  for  one  minute  apiece. 
This  enables  the  student  to  see  the  scope  of  the 
slides  to  be  used  on  the  test  and  to  decide  which 
ones  to  write  about,  as  a  choice  is  usually  given. 
Each  slide  is  then  shown  for  five  minutes  dur- 
ing which  time  the  student  is  asked  to  name  the 
building,  sculpture  or  painting,  the  artist  and 
approximate  dates  of  rendition  and  to  discuss 
the  picture  as  to  style,  relation  to  specific  periods 
in  art  history  and  so  forth. 

But  the  primary  use  of  the  slides  is  for  class 
lectures.  During  his  talk,  the  professor  shows 
slides  to  illustrate  the  material.  Sometimes  en- 
larged sections  of  paintings  are  shown  which 
allow  the  student  to  see  details  he  might  have 
missed  in  the  slide  of  the  whole  painting  or  even 
in  viewing  the  original. 

The  Fine  Arts  department  in  Middlebury 
has  a  collection  of  about  10,000  slides  collected 
over  15  years.  These  range  from  slides  of  Greek 
architecture  and  sculpture  through  the  most 
modern  paintings. 

The  oldest  slides,  mostly  of  classical  works, 
were  conscientiously  gathered  by  former  classics 
teachers.  The  efficacy  of  these  sHdes  is  limited 
by  the  fact  that  they  are  somewhat  antiquated 
and  the  colors  are  beginning  to  fade.  The  Col- 
lege Art  Association  contributed  more  than  4,000 
slides,  all  mounted  and  catalogued.  In  this  col- 
lection are  works  of  art  from  the  year  1400  to 
the  present  time. 

The  Fine  Arts  department  has  also  bought 
slides  from  year  to  year  from  regular  department 
budgets.  Two  to  three  hundred  dollars  are  thus 
spent  each  year  to  fill  in  the  gaps.  The  most 
recent  acquisition  is  a  collection  of  color  slides 
of  American  art  from  The  Carnegie  Corporation. 
Faculty  members  and  former  students  have  con- 
tributed slides  they  have  taken  on  trips  to  Eu- 
ropean art  galleries  and  other  parts  of  the  world. 

Occasionally,  the  Fine  Arts  department  can 
take  advantage  of  traveling  exhibits  of  the  Mu- 
seum of  Modem  Art  in  New  York  City.  In  the 
fall  of  1958,  for  example,  the  college  had  an 
exhibit  of  Japanese  architecture. 

Middlebury's  location  does  not  mean  that  stu- 
dents do  not  go  to  galleries  at  all.  The  class 
in  the  "History  and  Genesis  of  American  Art" 
goes  to  the  Sterling  and  Francine  Art  Institute 
in  Williamstown  to  view  the  small  collection 
of  American  paintings  there.  Students  who  live 
in  the  Boston,  New  York  or  Washington,  D.C., 
areas  often  visit  the  large  galleries  during  vaca- 
tions. One  student,  while  doing  a  term  paper 
on  Albert  Pinkham  Ryder  last  year,  took  ad- 
vantage of  a  special  exhibit  of  Ryder's  paintings 
at  the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts  in  Boston. 

Student  reaction  to  this  method  of  teaching 
fine  arts  is  good.  They  may  not  go  to  art  galleries 
while  they  are  actually  taking  a  course,  but  their 
appreciation  of  art,  gained  through  the  projected 
pictures  they  see,  provides  pleasure  and  also  a 
background  of  understanding  of  art  for  visits  to 
art  galleries  when  they  are  not  in  school. 

The  audiovisual  method  used  in  teaching  the 
art  courses  at  Middlebury  is  probably  a  principal 
reason  why  the  courses  are  so  popular  and  the 
enrollment  in  them  is  so  high.

In  the  promotion  of  its  'live'  study  of  Spanish,  Texas  Southern  Uni- 
versity uses  planned  activities  and  also  the  oral-aural  technique  of 
the  language  lab. 


Classroom  Spanish  Comes  Alive 


by  Ben  Waddell 

The  gap  between  theory  and  appUcation  in 
modem  education  offers  a  challenge  to  today's 
linguist,  but  a  university  Language  Club  in 
Texas  has  sought  to  narrow  the  gap  by  means  of 
incorporating  real-life  activities. 

In  the  spring  of  1959  teachers  and  exceptional 
students  of  Spanish  at  Texas  Southern  University 
arganized  a  Spanish  club  under  the  sponsor- 
ship of  Otto  Ramsey,  an  associate  professor  of 
Foreign  languages.  Their  objective  was  to  ac- 
:juaint  students  of  Spanish  with  customs  and 
mores  of  Spanish-speaking  people  and  to  create 
in  understanding  and  an  appreciation  of  Spanish 
ralues. 

The  club  became  aware  of  the  linguists'  argu- 
ment that  a  language  cannot  be  separated  from 
its  people.  In  justifying  the  argument,  the  club 
smployed  the  cultural  concept  and  achieved  its 
Ejoal  by  actually  living  the  language.  Record- 
ings, moving  pictures  and  other  audiovisual  aids 
played  a  part  in  the  group's  accomplishments. 

This  endeavor  has  been  achieved  through  suc- 
cessful planning  of  Spanish  activities  and  by 
carefully  planned  laboratory  techniques.  The 
club's  activities  have  great  variety.  They  range 
From  programs  to  tertulia,  a  friendly  evening 
Fiome  gathering  which  features  simple  Spanish 
conversation,  games,  music,  dancing  and  other 
forms  of  entertainment.  Perhaps,  the  best  affair 
is  Pan-American  Day  which  is  celebrated  with 
an  all-university  assembly  program  conducted  in 
Spanish.  The  program  includes  speeches,  songs, 
dances,  readings,  etc. 


Spanish  fiestas  provide  an  opportunity  for  stu- 
dents of  Spanish  to  speak  the  language  with 
students  of  similar  interest.  However,  the  most 
progressive  technique  used  by  the  club  is  known 
as  the  "lab  approach."  The  laboratory  procedure 
makes  extensive  use  of  oral-aural  techniques  and 
audiovisual  aids.  Professor  Ramsey  says,  "We 
learn  by  imitating,  and  the  oral-aural  method 
has  proved  to  be  a  successful  technique  in  lan- 
guage teaching." 

Recordings  for  the  oral-aural  method  are  made 
by  the  teachers  in  conjunction  with  the  students' 
textbook.  Since  lessons  are  made  from  textbooks 
students  may  use  their  textbooks  as  guides. 
Therefore  the  student  may  listen  to  the  record- 
ing while  simultaneously  reading  the  languauge 
in  his  guide.  By  reading  along  with  the  record- 
ing, the  student  can  verify  the  pronunciation  of 
new  words. 

Multiple-jack  sets  are  used  which  enable  sev- 
eral students  to  listen  to  one  machine  simul- 
taneously. Bothersome  noises  are  also  minimized 
through  the  use  of  earphones  which  muffle  out- 
side disturbances. 

"The  dub  has  made  tremendous  progress  in 
its  short  life,"  enthuses  Dr.  Albert  H.  Berrian, 
department  head  of  Foreign  Languages.  He  as- 
serted further  that  the  program  of  the  Spanish 
Club  is  consistent  with  modem  trends  in  the 
area  of  foreign  languages.  As  a  result  of  the  club's 
activities  some  students  have  received  scholar- 
ships. Also  the  club  has  exchanged  students  with 
the  University  of  Madrid  in  Spain. 

Because  of  sound  teaching  and  the  use  of  ap- 
propriate audiovisual  aids,  the  study  of  Spanish 
at  Texas  Southern  University  is  very  much  alive.

CCTV: 

Campus  Lab  for 
Teacher  Education 


by  Robert  R.  Nardelli 


VvLOSED  circuit  television  began  at  the  San 
Diego  State  College  campus  during  the  1958-59 
school  year  with  the  completion  of  a  system 
which  related  26  college  classrooms,  11  class- 
rooms in  the  campus  laboratory  school,  and  a 
studio  in  the  Speech  Arts  department. 

A  growing  enrollment  and  the  demonstrated 
instructional  possibilities  of  instructional  televi- 
sion were  factors  which  prompted  this  investiga- 
tion. Also,  the  California  State  Department  of 
Education  had  indicated  considerable  interest  in 
a  project  to  study  the  possible  contribution  of  a 
campus  laboratory  school  to  teacher  education 
through  this  medium. 

Facilities  were  available  in  the  campus  school 
and  in  neighboring  school  districts  for  observa- 
tion by  students  of  teacher  education.  However, 
there  were  problems  of  time  involved  in  leaving 
the  college  class  for  such  observation.  Over- 
crowding of  elementary  school  classrooms  by 
large  college  classes  also  presented  a  problem. 
Consequently,  it  was  decided  to  begin  television 
programming  on  a  restricted  basis  although  some 
limitations  in  equipment  were  apparent  at  the 
outset. 


A  Description  of  the  Facilities 

The  project  was  made  possible  through  the  co- 
operation of  the  Speech  Arts  department  of  the 
college.  This  department  made  equipment  avail- 
able to  supplement  the  equipment  belonging  to 
the  Division  of  Education.  More  important. 
Speech  Arts  department  provided  the  necessa 
technical  assistance  to  produce  the  prograii 
which  were  directed  by  the  school  principal.  | 

An  outstanding  feature  of  the  television  systeJ 
at  the  College  is  the  well-equipped  studio  of  tlra 
Speech  Arts  department.  This  studio  is  capable 
of  various  functions,  and  includes  the  following. 

1.  Tliree   broadcast    standard   vidicon    studio 
camera  chains. 

2.  A  film   chain,  consisting  of  two  film  pro- 
jectors and  one  slide  projector. 

3.  A  kinescope  recorder. 

4.  A   microwave   hnk   for   televising   through 
commercial  channels  in  San  Diego. 

5.  An  electronically  controlled  lighting  system. 

6.  A  rear  screen  projector.

tem may  operate  independently  or  as  a  part  of 
the  College-wide  system.  At  the  present  time 
there  are  sixteen  24-inch  console  model  home 
television  receivers  used  for  classroom  viewing.

School  are  one  viewfinder  industrial  camera 
chain  and  one  TV-eye  industrial  camera. 

The  camera  work  was  done  by  graduate  and 
undergraduate  students  in  the  broadcasting  cur- 
riculum, under  the  supervision  of  Speech  Arts 
Department  faculty  and  technical  staff  members. 

The  Instructional  Program 

Implementation  of  the  study  was  preceded  by 
the  formulation  of  these  broad  objectives: 

1.  To  study  the  use  in  a  campus  laboratory 
school  of  closed  circuit  television  for  pur- 
poses of  teacher  education. 

2.  To  determine  the  types  of  demonstration 
lessons  most  helpful  to  a  professor  of  educa- 
tion in  illustrating  vital  points  in  the  theory 
of  teaching  elementary  school  subjects. 

3.  To  determine  personnel  requirements  and 
study  appropriate  teacher  load  in  demon- 
stration work  for  television. 

4.  To  explore  technical  and  operational  prob- 
lems involved  in  the  use  of  closed  circuit 
television  for  teacher  education. 

5.  To  be  of  service  to  other  institutions  of 
higher  education  by  adding  to  the  growing 
body  of  information  on  television  instruc- 
tion. 

Campus  Laboratory  School  Faculty 

Initially,  members  of  the  Campus  Laboratory 
School  faculty  were  queried  regarding  their  will- 
ingness to  participate  in  closed  circuit  television 
demonstrations.  All  members  of  the  faculty  indi- 
cated interest  in  the  program.  The  second  grade 
was  selected  as  the  primary  level  grade  because 
this  grade  already  was  being  used  for  demon- 
strations for  classes  in  methods.  The  fifth  grade 
was  selected  as  the  upper  elementary  school 
grade  in  order  to  give  the  program  additional 
balance. 

Instructional  Faculty 

The  next  step  was  to  inform  members  of  the 
instructional  faculty  that  demonstrations  by 
closed  circuit  television  would  be  available  to 
them.  From  the  beginning,  great  care  was  taken 
to  assure  the  various  professors  who  indicated  an 
interest  in  the  project  that  the  Campus  Labora- 
tory School  was  hoping  to  provide  a  useful  and 
significant  supplement  to  their  instruction 
through  planned  demonstrations  of  teaching 
techniques  which  would  be  helpful  to  their  col- 
lege students.  These  demonstrations  should  ap- 
ply to  the  topics  currently  under  discussion  in  the 
class  and  should  not  be  random  type  lessons. 

It  was  believed  that  best  results  would  come 
from  demonstrations  planned  jointly  by  the  pro- 
fessor and  the  demonstration  teacher  in  the 
campus  school.  Consequently,  those  professors 
who  responded  were  asked  to  meet  with  the 
demonstration  teacher  to  plan  the  lesson  in  ad- 
vance. Some  professors  were  content  to  indicate 
their  needs  in  rather  broad  terms.  Others  were 
specific  to  the  degree  that  they  provided  exact 
outlines  of  points  they  wished  to  see  illustrated 
with  suggestions  for  experiments  to  be  demon- 


strated and  materials  to  be  used.  Ample  time  was 
provided  to  the  professors  and  demonstration 
teachers  to  plan  the  lessons  adequately. 

Length  and  Type  of  Lessons 

A  major  decision  was  to  limit  each  lesson  to  20 
minutes.  The  short  demonstration  period  enabled 
the  professor  to  prepare  his  students  in  advance, 
and  to  follow  up  the  demonstration  with  a  com- 
plete evaluation  in  terms  of  the  topic  under 
study.  It  was  decided  that  only  instructional 
techniques  involving  overt  and  easily  observable 
participation  by  teacher  and  pupils  would  be  em- 
ployed, leaving  the  children  to  complete  their 
seat  work  and  more  quiet  types  of  activities  after 
the  conclusion  of  the  demonstration.  (Observa- 
tion of  children  reading  quietly  at  their  desks  is  a 
pleasurable  experience  to  their  teachers  but  may 
be  of  questionable  value  to  teachers  in  training. ) 

Preparation  of  Children 

Before  the  demonstrations  began,  a  television 
camera  and  monitor  were  brought  into  the  class- 
room for  the  children  to  see.  They  were  told  they 
would  be  participating  from  time  to  time  and 
were  informed  of  the  purpose  of  the  work.  The 
children  then  were  allowed  to  see  themselves  in 
the  monitor  and  wave  at  the  camera  in  order  to 
get  that  human  foible  "out  of  their  system."  They 
were  urged  to  ignore  the  camera  and  to  concen- 
trate on  the  business  at  hand. 

The  Lessons 

Following  are  examples  of  lessons  requested 
by  various  professors:  (1)  Arithmetic  (measure- 
ment of  liquids  and  solids);  (2)  Reading  (word 
analysis);  (3)  Science  (critical  thinking,  dis- 
placement of  fresh  and  salt  water;  (4)  Reading 
(preparation  for  reading  in  the  content  fields); 
(5)  Social  Studies  (solving  of  problems  in  har- 
bor traffic  through  dramatic  play);  (6)  Child 
Growth  and  Development  (levels  of  maturation). 

The  number  of  children  employed  was  limited 
to  ten,  except  in  the  cases  of  the  social  studies 
and  child  growth  and  development  demonstra- 
tions. The  reasons  for  this  limitation  were  tech- 
nical rather  than  professional.  It  proved  too  diffi- 
cult to  cover  great  numbers  of  children  with  the 
available  camera  and  to  hear  adequately  with 
the  available  audio  system. 

Evaluations  by  Professors  and  Students 

Professors  and  students  were  asked  to  make 
evaluations  regarding  technical  and  professional 
aspects  of  the  project.  No  attempt  was  made, 
however,  to  compare  the  learning  of  students 
through  television  with  their  learning  through 
conventional  methods  of  instruction.  Reactions 
generally  were  favorable  although  a  number  of 
deficiencies  were  indicated. 

All  were  agreed  that  a  campus  laboratory 
school  can  make  a  significant  contribution  to 
teacher  education  through  closed  circuit  televi- 
sion. Positive  general  reactions  may  be  summar- 
ized as  follows: 

1.  Demonstrations  were  highly  successful  in 
illustrating  methods  which  had  been  described 
in  lectures. 

2.  Pupil  responses  were  clearly  audible  when 
work  was  conducted  in  small  groups.  (Observers 
in  classrooms  often  say  thev  cannot  hear  small 
children  from  the  back  of  the  room. )

3.  Time  was  saved  by  bringing  the  demonstra- 
tion to  the  college  classroom  instead  of  taking  the 
college  class  to  a  room  in  an  elementary  school. 

4.  In  many  cases,  facial  reactions  of  pupils 
were  more  visible  on  the  television  screen  than 
they  would  have  been  from  the  back  of  a  class- 
room. 

5.  Large  numbers  of  students  ( 60  in  one  case ) 
were  able  to  witness  the  same  demonstration, 
providing  a  common  experience  for  purposes  of 
lecture  and  discussion. 

6.  Specific  lessons  can  be  demonstrated  satis- 
factorily through  closed  circuit  television. 

There  were  a  number  of  unfavorable  reactions, 
most  of  which  can  be  remedied  through  addition- 
al equipment  and  personnel.  Items  for  improve- 
ment included  the  following: 

1.  Improvement  in  the  coordination  of  camera 
work  with  teacher  or  pupil  activity  at  appropriate 
times  was  recommended. 

2.  The  lack  of  a  zoomar  lens  prevented  ade- 
quate visibility  of  charts,  pictures,  and  other 
small  items  which  were  vital  to  the  lesson  (this 
was  rectified  in  the  final  lessons  in  science 
through   the   addition   of  the   TV-eye   camera). 

3.  A  need  to  improve  the  pacing  of  some  les- 
sons was  indicated  and  a  recommendation  for 
more  exact  preparation  of  lessons  (virtually 
scripts)  was  made. 

4.  The  audio  system  was  unsatisfactory  when 
work  was  carried  on  with  large  groups  in  various 
parts  of  the  classroom. 


Conclusions 

A  campus  laboratory  school  can  play  a  signifi- 
cant role  in  teacher  education  through  closed  cir- 
cuit television  and  close  cooperation  between 
demonstration  school  teachers  and  professors  of 
education  for  whom  lessons  are  prepared  is  im- 
perative. Lessons  will  be  most  successful  in  those 
cases  where  the  professor  explicitly  contributes 
ideas  and  specifies  clearly  what  he  wants  his  stu- 
dents to  see. 

The  full  potential  of  closed  circuit  television 
cannot  be  realized  until  all  necessary  equipment 
and  trained  personnel  are  available. 

Many  types  of  lessons  which  are  restricted  to  a 
particular  classroom  area  can  be  demonstrated 
well  over  closed  circuit  television.  Similarly, 
lessons  involving  extensive  movement  about  the 
classroom  present  certain  technical  problems 
which  are  difficult  to  overcome  in  any  room 
which  is  not  a  fully-equipped  studio. 

Recommendations  for  Future  Study 

Appropriate  demonstration  teacher  load  was 
not  determined  by  this  investigation.  Additional 
study  of  personnel  requirements,  needed  in-serv- 
ice education,  and  time  involved  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  lessons  is  indicated. 

A  continuing  problem  will  be  that  of  educat- 
ing members  of  the  instructional  faculty  to  the 
potential  use  of  closed  circuit  television.  Thus  it 
will  be  necessary  to  devise  ways  of  stimulating 
interest  in  and  support  for  this  medium.

An  AV  Try  for  Better 
Public  Relations 


The  following  is  the  content  of  an  'audiovisual 
newsletter  sent  recently  to  all  parents  of  junior 
and  senior  high  school  students  in  St.  Louis 
Park,  Minnesota  (a  suburb  of  Minneapolis).  A 
similar  newsletter  is  to  be  sent  also  to  parents 
of  elementary  students. 

For  more  evidence  of  really  progressive  think- 
ing, we  quote  Mr.  Schutte,  who  is  AV  director 
for  St.  Louis  Park  public  schools: 

"This  is  but  one  phase  of  public  relations  for 
audiovisual.  We  have  film  and  slides  on  our  AV 
programs  and  are  showing  them  to  PTA  groups, 
school  boards,  etc.  We  also  put  forth  more  or 
less  of  a  continual  effort  for  articles  and  pictures 
in  the  local  papers." 


Dear  Parent: 

You  have  perhaps  heard  it  said  that  "seeinj^ 
is  beUeving,"  or  you  may  liave  heard  tliat  "one 
picture  is  worth  a  thousand  words."  There  is 
a  lot  of  truth  in  these  sayings.  The  use  of  audio- 
visual  (illustrative)  materials  in  teaching  dem- 


onstrates the  soundness  of  these  sayings. 

1  he  principal  objective  of  our  program  is  to 
help  students  learn  more  effectively  at  all  levels 
in  our  schools. 

It  is  a  widely  recognized  fact  that  the  St. 
Louis  Park  schools  have  one  of  the  very  best 
audiovisual  programs   in   the   state. 

What  are  audiovisual  instructional  materials? 
Audiovisual  devices  are  efficient  tools  by  means 
of  which  ideas  are  communicated  to  the  stu- 
dents. T\'pical  audiovisual  materials  are:  educa- 
tional motion  pictures,  slides,  filmstrips,  phono- 
graph records,  tape  recordings,  educational  tele- 
vision, bulletin  board  pictures,  displays,  models, 
and  other  illustrative  materials. 

Why  do  we  use  audiovisual  materials?  Learn- 
ing results  from  experience.  Audiovisual  mate- 
rials make  it  possible  for  pupils  to  experience 
many  things  they  could  not  otherwise  have  con- 
tact with.  These  materials  provide  a  common 
experience  background,  thus  making  possible 
intelligent  group  discussion  of  problems.  Audio- 
visual materials  make  objects  and  ideas  more 
realistic  by  illustrating  them,  thus  providing  a 


76 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — February,  1960 


■oncrete  image  for  the  learner  to  incorporate  in 
lis  experience  background.  Research  studies 
)rove  that  audiovisual  materials,  when  properly 
ised  result  in  20  to  40  percent  more  learning 
n  less  time.  They  also  promote  up  to  40  per- 
•ent  better  retention  of  the  things  learned  over 
I  longer  time. 

Audiovisual  materials  make  learning  interest- 
ng.  An  interested  student  learns  faster.  There 
s  a  more  complete  focusing  of  attention  on  the 
ubject  under  consideration.  The  clarity  of  the 
nultisensory  perception  inherent  in  the  audio- 
isual  method  helps  students  learn  readily,  as 
erbal  symbols  become  more  meaningful  when 
llustrated. 

Audiovisual  materials  can  conquer  time  and 
pace.  They  can  bring  the  world  into  the  class- 
oom,  making  it  possible  for  pupils  to  experience 
ndirectly  numerous  things,  places  and  events 
vhich  it  would  be  impossible  for  them  to  ex- 
lerience  in  any  other  way.  Slow  motion,  anima- 
ion,  high  speed  action,  microphotography  and 
)ther  si^ecial  techniques  used  in  films  make  pos- 
;ible  many  observations  beyond  the  range  of 
lormal  human  experiences  and  help  to  clarify 
nany  a  perplexing  problem. 

In  the  1959-60  school  year  650  educational  mo- 
ion  pictures  will  be  used  in  the  classrooms  of 
>t.  Louis  Park  High  School.  A  total  of  878  educa- 
ional  motion  picture  films  will  be  used  in  the 
Ilentral  and  Westwood  junior  highs.  Educational 
ilms  are  used  to  some  extent  in  the  teaching  of 
ilmost  every  subject  in  our  schools.  These  films 
(ire  particularly  valuable  in  teaching  the  sci- 
bnces,  English  and  social  studies.  All  of  these 
materials  are  made  available  at  a  cost  of  less 
hail  85c  per  pupil  for  the  year.  By  means  of 
;uch  films,  learning  opportunities  which  could 
lot  be  obtained  by  other  methods  are  made  avail- 
ible  to  the  students. 

Tape  recordings  and  phonograph  records  are 
ised  extensively  and  very  effectively  in  the 
reaching    of    many    subjects    including    music, 


speech,  foreign  language,  science,  English  and 
social  studies.  Tape  recordings  from  the  State 
Department  of  Education  tape  library  and  other 
sources,  as  well  as  locally  produced  tapes,  are 
used. 

Materials  collected  from  various  sources  in- 
cluding newspapers,  magazines,  textbooks,  and 
student-made  materials  are  projected  for  class 
use  by  means  of  the  opaque  projector.  Materials 
of  this  kind  are  used  in  Health  and  Physical 
Education,  in  art,  in  social  studies  and  in  other 
subjects. 

We  have  35  mm  filmstrips  which  contain  a 
series  of  illustrations  and  systematically  organ- 
ized around  a  given  topic  and  are  used  in  teach- 
ing a  number  of  subjects.  They  are  particularly 
valuable  in  teaching  junior  high  science.  One 
advantage  of  filmstrips  is  that  discussion  and 
questions  can  accompany  the  showings  of  these 
materials. 

In  addition  to  providing  commercially  pre- 
pared audiovisual  materials,  the  audiovisual  de- 
partment also  prepares  instructional  materials 
such  as  still  pictures,  motion  picture  films  and 
recordings  for  use  in  our  schools.  The  audio- 
visual department  has  charge  of  student  camera 
clubs  in  each  of  our  schools.  Photographs  for 
school  publications  and  for  classroom  use,  an- 
nual reports,  etc.  are  taken  and  processed  by 
the  audiovisual  department. 

Most  all  classrooms  in  our  schools  are  equipped 
with  darkening  drapes  and  wall  screens  to  facil- 
itate the  projection  of  visual  materials.  An  ade- 
quate supply  of  projectors,  recorders  and  re- 
lated equipment  is  available  in  the  audiovisual 
center  in  each  building. 

Audiovisual  devices  bring  the  world  to  the 
classroom.  These  methods  promote  more  effici- 
ency in  learning.  This  is  a  very  important  func- 
tion   in    today's    educational   process.

In  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hcx:knian 


Seeing  Motivates  Use 

Visual  aids  are  like  a  lot  of  other 
things— you  are  not  likely  to  use  what 
you  don't  know  about.  And  right  here 
I  would  like  to  add:  You  aren't  very 
likely  to  use  what  you  know  about 
until  you  see  itl 

It  is  right  here  that  many  churches 
are  finding  their  bottleneck  in  the 
utilization  of  visual  aids:  getting  lead- 
ers and  teachers  to  see  the  stuff. 

This  I  know  for  a  certainty— You 
can't  over  estimate  the  value  of  a 
table-type  filmstrip  previewer  when  it 
comes  to  motivating  this  seeing  and 
previewing  which  is  so  basic  to  use. 
(See  front  cover.— Ed.)  It  by-passes  the 
bother  of  using  a  projector;  it  saves 
time;  it  is  just  plain  vonvenient.  That's 
why  this  departmental  leader  is  here. 
The  church  has  made  it  easy  for  her  to 
see  the  materials  it  has  bought  and 
told  her  about.  So,  if  you  would  stim- 
ulate use,  make  previewing  easy  with 
a  table-model  filmstrip  previewer. 


Flat  Teaching  Pictures 

It  would  take  the  next  eight  pages 
to  picture  and  tell  the  story  of  how  the 
Central  Lutheran  Church  (4th  Ave.  S, 
at  Grant,  Minneapohs  4)  developed 
one  of  the  finest  libraries  of  teaching 
pictiu-es  in  the  country.  Containing 
more  than  600  mounted  and  cata- 
logued pictures,  this  great  resource 
has  been  in  use  more  than  18  months 
and  everyone  is  enthusiastic  about  it. 

It  all  started  when  the  right  people 
got  interested:  those  who  appreciated 
the  power  of  flat  teaching  pictures  to 
enrich  classroom  teaching  and  depart- 
mental worship,  plus  those  who  had 
the  know-how  involved  in  uniform 
mounting  and  cataloguing.  Money  was 
needed,  not  a  great  deal,  but  it  was 
forthcoming. 

This  visual  resource  is  related  to  the 
other  visual  aids  used  in  the  church 
school:  flannel  graphs,  filmstrips,  ob- 
jects, etc.  A  chairman  is  in  charge  and 
is  responsible  for  all  phases  of  the 
work,   including  keeping   the  church 


school  staff  informed  on  what  relates 
specifically  to  current  curriculum.  Use- 
ful guidance  on  the  selection  and  utili- 
zation of  this  type  of  teaching  aid  has 
been  developed.  This  is  the  most  thor- 
oughing  approach  I  have  heard  about 
and  some  way  should  be  found  to 
make  their  experience  and  practices 
widely  known.  Perhaps  a  descriptive 
pamphlet  would  sell  at  a  price  to  re- 
cover the  cost.  I  am  certain  many 
churches  would  like  guidance  in  build- 
ing up  a  similar  resource. 

Getting  Our  Money's  Worth 

Our  assistant  minister  is  staff  ad- 
visor to  the  Sunday  evening  Youth 
Fellowship  of  older  teenagers;  I  am 
program  advisor  for  the  Men's  Club 
which  meets  monthly  for  dinner. 
When  it  was  suggested,  the  men 
thought  the  idea  of  having  a  panel  of 
teenagers  discuss  youth-parent  rela- 
tionships before  one  of  their  meetings 
a  mighty  good  idea.  How  to  get  the 
panel?  I  took  the  idea  up  with  the  as- 
sistant minister  and  he  said  it  would 
be  easy  to  get  a  panel  of  youth  for  the 
men  if  I  could  get  a  panel  of  men  to 
come  before  the  Fellowship  to  discuss 
the  same  question:  Teenage-parent  re- 
lationships. 

Now  our  problem  was  getting  the 
show  on  the  road;  how  to  get  momen- 
tum and  direction  in  these  discussions 
of  this  question  before  the  men  and 
the  youth.  Here  is  where  the  film 
comes  in,  and  where  knowledge  of 
what  is  available  pays  off:  I  suggested 
that  we  use  the  kinescope,  The  Tyran- 
ny of  the  Teenager,  (from  the  Broad- 
casting and  Film  Commission,  of  NCC, 
47.5  Riverside  Dr.,  N.  Y.  27)  to  spark 
our  discussions.  That  sounded  like  a 
good  idea  to  my  fellow  staff  member 
so  the  film  was  booked. 

When  it  came,  two  days  early,  it 
was  previewed  by  the  panel  of  youth 
which  was  to  appear  before  the  men, 
and  the  assistant  minister  did  a  fine 
job  of  preparing  them  in  terms  of 
what  the  film  had  to  say  on  the  sub- 
ject. Before  the  men  (100  present) 
they  did   a   swell  job,   making  state- 


ments and  then  receiving  the  tougl 
questions  of  the  men.  When  adjourn- 
ment time  arrived,  the  discussion  wa; 
going  full  tilt. 

Now,  once  into  the  fray  and  witl 
lots  more  to  say,  we  had  no  trouble  al 
all  getting  a  panel  of  men  to  volun- 
teer to  go  before  the  fellowship  meet- 
ing of  the  young  people  the  following 
Sunday  night.  The  film  was  kept  over, 
and  a  second  rental  paid. 

Now  the  young  people  were  on  theii 
own  ground,  and  the  panel  of  Wed- 
nesday night  formed  a  cadre  of  sea- 
soned veterans  who  really  popped  the 
questions  to  the  men  when  the  film 
had  been  shown  to  the  young  people 
(some  65  attending).  After  the  film 
each  one  of  the  six  men  on  the  panel 
made  a  short  statement  on  some  as- 
pect of  the  film  that  caught  his  atten- 
tion, and  then  the  general  forum  be- 
gan. The  assistant  minister  did  a  skill- 
ful job  of  moderating  the  meeting  and 
a  'fine  time  was  had  by  all.' 

Thus  we  wrung  the  juice  out  of  that 
film  and  got  our  money's  worth.  We 
got  a  lot  more!  The  men  got  a  view  of 
the  youth  that  they  needed;  and  the 
youth  got  some  of  their  battering-rams 
of  unseasoned  opinion  badly  bent  on 
the  wall  of  adult  experience.  The  free- 
style mental  wrestling  revealed  the 
agility  of  youth  and  the  solid  weight 
of  adulthood— and  both  age  groups 
came  out  of  the  arena  with  some  opin- 
ions pretty  badly  battered  but  with 
their  principles  pretty  well  intact.  Oh 
yes,  here  and  there  you  could  see  a 
bright  tail-feather  of  adult  conceit 
lying  around  the  premises,  and  here 
and  there  some  adolescent  presupposi- 
tions littered  the  landscape. 

And,  last  but  not  least,  an  'old' 
minister  had  his  faith  in  films  renewed, 
and  a  'new'  one  got  a  glimpse  of  their 
utility  and  power  when  properly 
hitched  to  the  job. 


Filmstrip  Notes 

Next  Steps  In  Religion,  a  color  film- 
strip  with  script,  record,  and  user's 
guide  which  was  produced  by  the  De- 
partment of  Christian  Family  Life  of 
the  General  Board  of  Education  of 
the  Methodist  Church  (201  Eighth 
Street,  Nashville  3,  Tenn.)  as  a  sequel 
to  another  filmstrip  First  Steps  in 
Religion. 

Just  as  the  first  was  to  be  used  with 
pre-school  parents,  this  latest  one  is 
for  the  parents  of  children  of  the  pri- 
mary bracket— first,  second  and  third 
grades.  The  accent  falls  on  two  facets 
of  the  complex  problem:  it  helps  the 
parent  of  small  children  better  under- 
stand what  they  can  do  in  the  home 
about  the  teaching  of  religion,  and  it 
explains  to  them  the  broad  role  of  the 
church  school  in  the  life  of  the  child.

I  would  like  to  recommend  two 
'Easter'  filmstrips  which  deal  with  the 
seasonal  aspects  of  the  subject  and  not 
the  religious— except  in  a  nicely  ob- 
lique manner.  They  are:  Mrs.  Hen's 
Easter  Surprise  and  Mary's  Easter 
Lambs.  Both  are  by  SVE  and  are 
beamed  at  the  Kindergarten-Primary 


age  bracket.  Both  are  good,  but  I  en- 
joyed Mrs.  Hen  more.  (At  last  she  finds 
a  place  to  lay  her  eggs  and  hatch  a 
family— but,  one  egg  is  bigger  than  the 
others,  and  takes  longer  to  hatch.  Yes, 
you  guessed  it.  Mrs.  Duck  laid  an  egg 
in  Hen's  nest!  Well,  he  was  so  cute- 
big  feet,  broad  bill,  wiggly  tail,  and 
funny  voice.  What  a  happy  and  inter- 
esting family,  as  they  cross  the  lawn! ) 
Yes,  the  lambs  are  bom  at  Easter,  and 
this  gives  Mary  and  her  brother  great 
pleasure  and  something  wonderful  to 
share— and,  we  hope  they  did  not 
wear  those  little  critters  out  the  first

The  aged  Peter  in  prison  with  other  Chris- 
tians, awaiting  unknown  tortures  and 
possible  death,  comforts  and  reassures  a 
young  man  by  telling  him  the  story  of  his 
own  faith.  We  see  the  proud,  boastful  Peter 
turn  into  a  coward  and  a  traitor  the  night 
he  betrays  his  beloved  Lord.  And  then 
miraculously  the  fearful,  trembling  man 
becomes  Peter,  the  rock,  as  the  power  of 
the  Holy  Spirit  comes  upon  him,  and  the 
true  meaning  of  the  resurrection  becomes 
a  living  reality  in  his  life. 

Hope  and  encouragement  to  all  people 
everywhere  today  is  offered  in  this  dy- 
namic spiritual  film,  as  Peter  emphasizes 
— "The  power  of  His  resurrection  was  not 
just  for  the  day  in  which  He  rose  from  the 
dead  —  it  is  for  today  —  for  you  and  me. 
He  Is  alive!"

In  its  "Great  Stories  from  the  New 
Testament"  Encyclopedia  Britannica 
Films  Inc.,  (Wilmette,  111.)  has  pro- 
duced eight  titles,  each  with  32  frames 
of  art  and  a  reading  script: 

The  Story  of  The  Nativity  combines 
the  Lucan  and  Matthew  accounts  as  it 
might  have  been  seen  and  understood 
by  one  of  the  Wisemen. 

Jesus  Prepares  for  His  Ministry 
covers  this  period  in  Jesus'  life,  brings 
John  the  Baptist  into  the  scene,  tells  of 
Jesus'  temptations,  his  calling  of  the 
disciples  as  it  might  have  been  ex- 
perienced by  Simon  Peter. 

The  Teaching  Ministry  of  Jesus  at- 
tempts to  convey  the  central  teachings 
of  the  Master,  including  the  two  para- 
bles: Good  Samaritan  and  Prodigal 
Son;  and,  shows  Jesus'  love  of  chil- 
dren. 

The  Healing  Ministry  of  Jesus 
shows  incidents  of  healing,  the  gather- 
ing of  the  crowds  around  him,  the  in- 
creased concern  of  the  Pharisees  and 
priests. 

The  Triumphal  Entry  and  Last  Sup- 
per records  the  usual  incidents  of  this 
period. 

The  Trial  of  Jesus  by  the  various 
authorities  seeks  to  give  an  under- 
standing of  why  they  were  held  and 
why  he  was  sentenced,  as  observed  by 
Peter. 

The  Story  of  the  Crucifixion  relates 
the  death  as  seen  by  a  Roman  soldier, 
and  recalls  the  'seven  last  words'  of 
Jesus.  What  is  the  general  level  of 
quality?  It  is  good  both  in  the  art  and 
the  commentary.  The  basic  pictorial 
material  is  the  Fibocolor  from  Hol- 
land. While  stylized,  it  has  both 
beauty  and  vitality.  The  commentaries 
are  scholarly,  informative,  and  written 
with  the  aid  of  a  consecrated  imagina- 
tion and  need  to  be  thus  accepted. 
While  the  basic  work  was  done  with 
great  competence  by  Weldon  Johnson, 
Walter  J.  Harrelson,  dean  of  the  Di- 
vinity School  of  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago, acted  as  a  collaborator. 

What  is  their  utility?  Good,  as  I  see 
it.  The  producer  says  the  age  of  wid- 
est use  is  9  through  14;  I  would 
widen  it  to  Junior  through  Adults. 
This  is  the  Scripture  pictured  and  ex- 
plained, and  who's  too  young  or  old 
for  that?  In  fact,  the  last  seven  titles 
would  provide  a  fine  core  for  any  min- 
ister's Lenten  series.  The  ESV  version 
is  frequently  and  effectively  quoted. 
I  can  .see  the.se  used  in  connection 
\\'ith  the  regular  curriculum  in  the 
Junior  and  Junior  Hi  departments. 


The  first  title  makes  an  excelle 
addition  to  any  local  church's  libra 
of  Christmas  materials.  Each  wi 
manual  and  script  is  $6.00;  the  seri 
of  eight  boxed,  $48.00.  These  I  re 
ommend;  the  O.T.  Titles  are  und' 
study. 

On  Africa  there  are  four  new  filij 
strips  of  good  quality  and  utility,  pr 
duced  by  the  United  Church  of  Cat 
ada  (Dickie  Sada,  photographer)  an

97  frames  and  for  Junior  Hi  and  abovi 
and.  Gifts  of  Healing,  same  age  levi

an  education  ever  so  badly;  anc 
Firelighters  of  Angola,  Junior  Hi  an 
above,  72  frames,  and  telling  the  stor 
of  the  teenage  girls'  movement  whos 
members  pledge  "to  take  care  of  he 
body,  to  search  for  truth,  to  grow  i 
the  knowledge  of  God,  and  to  serv 
others."  Each  without  LP  recordei 
commentary,  $6.00;  each  with  record 
$9.00;  and  the  narrations  are  pairei 
on  the  two  records  thus:  first  and  sec 
ond  title;  third  and  fourth  titles.  High 
ly  recommended. 

Family  Filmstrips  has  produced  fivf 
titles  on  Palestine  which  almost  ever) 
church  will  find  good  and  useful.  The 
photography  is  fine  (there  could  have 
been  a  few  more  close-ups,  I  believe) 
and  the  commentaries  are  interesting- 
ly cast  and  very  informative,  tying  in 
at  all  times  biblical  background  in 
terms  of  places,  events  and  people. 
Available  from  your  A-V  dealer. 

Easier  In  Jerusalem,  40  frames  and 
for  youth  and  adults,  shows  just  what 
a  Protestant  would  be  looking  for  if  he 
were  to  visit  Jerusalem  and  vicinity 
during  Holy  Week  and  on  Easter.  An 
excellent  unit  to  close  a  Lenten  series 
with. 

At  Home  aiul  At  Work  in  Bible 
Lands  is  for  Primary  children  and  runs 
28  frames  and  shows  daily  chores  in 
the  home  and  work.  Shepherds  In 
Bible  Lands,  31  frames  and  for  Pri- 
mary grades,  shows  the  work  of  the 
shepherd  and  will  help  any  child  bet- 
ter understand  biblical  allusions  to  this 
vocation. 

Everyday  Life  In  Palestine  (53 
frames)  and  Shepherd  Life  In  Pales- 
tine (50  frames)  puts  the  content  you 
would  expect  under  these  titles  on  the 
level  of  Juniors  and  up.  This  is  good, 
and  many  local  churches  will  welcome 
this  closely  grading  of  materials. 
Prices:  First  two,  complete  with  71/2 
inch  LP  records,  $11.00;  the  third, 
complete  with  10  inch  LP  disc, 
$10.00  last  two  complete  with  12

We  couldn't  have  an  adequate 
lidance  program  here  at  Frontier 
igh  School,"  said  Mr.  Knotfrom  in- 
gnantly,  "if  it  weren't  for  all  the 
ings  we  do  with  a  tape  recorder!" 
He  continued  without  waiting  for 
e  obvious  question,  or  for  an  ex- 
imation  of  wonderment.  "To  begin 
ith,  quite  a  few  of  our  boys  and 
rls  go  on  to  college.  We  can't  have 
college  representative  here  all  the 
me,  but  we  can  have  this."  He  turned 
switch. 

Here  at  State,"  the  voice  said, 
oung  people  find  many  exciting  op- 
artunities  to  explore  the  world  of 
lowledge.  In  the  undergraduate  pro- 
am  we  offer  fine  liberal  arts  training 
ith  ample  opportunity  to  specialize 
1  appropriate  areas  of  the  arts.  Our 
ience  laboratories  are  recognized  as 
le  best  available  in  this  area,  and  our 
:ience  faculty  boasts  many  outstand- 
ig  scholars." 

"Of  course,"  the  voice  continued, 
here  is  far  more  to  college  training 
lan  application  to  study.  Studies 
)me  first,  but  through  our  intra-mural 
rhletics  program  every  student  has  an 
pportunity  to  participate  in  t  e  am 
)orts— to  make  the  team  as  it  were, 
nd  we  are  proud  of  the  record  State's 
•ams  have  made  in  inter-collegiate 
)mpetition." 

Mr.  Knotfrom  turned  the  recorder 
f.  "This  recording  is  not  just  another 
)ice.  It  is  the  Director  of  Admissions 
:  State  who  talked  to  our  seniors  a 
3ar  ago— and  who  has  stayed  with  us 
lis  way  and  talked  to  a  great  many 
udents." 

"But  aren't  you  giving  exceptional 
"ominence  to  just  one  institution?" 

Mr.  Knotfrom  smiled  and  pointed  to 
shelf  of  tape  recordings,  and  ex- 
ained  that  not  only  nearby  but  dis- 
nt  colleges  v.ere  represented  in  the 
hool's  collection  of  recordings.  He 
[plained  that  in  some  instances  this 
as  the  sole  representation  of  the  col- 
giate  institution— beyond  the  printed 
italogue— to  be  found  at  any  time  at 
le  school.  "We  are  just  too  small  and 
o  far  away,"  he  explained,  "and 
hen  the  colleges  couldn't  come  to 
i  easily,  we  had  to  find  a  way  for 
lem  to  make  the  journey  easily.  And 


we  find  that,  as  a  result  of  these  tape 
recordings,  our  boys  and  girls  know 
more  about  the  variety  of  colleges 
they  may  attend,  and  more  about 
what  is  offered  in  each.  They've  made 
some  fine  selections  on  the  basis  of 
this  information." 

Mr.  Knotfrom  added  that,  because 
the  colleges  were  so  readily  represent- 
ed in  the  listening  room,  the  colleges 
too  were  becoming  more  interested  in 
attracting  students  from  Frontier  High. 
"It  helps  us  place  the  capable  student 
with  a  financial  problem  because  we 
have  better  college  contacts,"  he  said. 

"Don't  you  find  your  college  coun- 
selling a  small  portion  of  your  Guid- 
ance program?  What  percentage  of 
your  graduating  class  will  go  to  college 
in  June?" 

"That,  I  don't  know.  But  last  June 
we  placed  more  than  sixty  students 
out  of  a  class  of  one  hundred.  The 
year  before  the  number  was  fifty— and 
before  that— before  we  began  to  seek 
tape  recorded  information— we  never 
placed  more  than  thirty-five  per  cent!" 

"What  happens  to  the  others?  How 
does  your  tape  recorded  Guidance 
program  help  them?" 

"Well,  the  Guidance  program  here 
is  many  things.  This  is  not  a  large 
school  from  most  standards— it  is  a 
small  school  measured  by  city  stand- 
ards. We  get  to  know  each  student 
particularly    well,     and     during     the 


course  of  the  student's  stay  here  we 
are  able  to  develop  a  considerable 
audio  library  to  help  the  youngsters." 

"For  instance,  we  begin  to  record 
personal  interviews  during  the  very 
first  year.  We  maintain  a  continuing 
file  of  such  recordings  for  each  stu- 
dent —  usually  made  at  six  month 
intervals.  There  are  exceptions,  of 
course,  because  some  students  need 
more  —  or  less  —  help  than  others. 
Then,  being  a  small  school,  we  find 
this  recording  with  a  few  notes  an 
economic  method  of  keeping  informa- 
tion on  file.  We  have  no  trouble  re- 
viewing an  interview  —  verbatim! 

"When  parents  visit  with  us  we 
may  play  back  a  selected  portion  of 
a  recording  to  stress  a  particular  point. 
Or  when  the  student  seeks  summer 
employment  we  can  demonstrate  via 
the  recording  the  student's  natural 
reaction  to  questions  and  his  relations 
with  people." 

"Do  you  use  the  recorder  for  voca- 
tional counselling?" 

"Oh,  my,  yes!  We  do  this  in  several 
ways. 

"First,  of  course,  we  have  the  con- 
tinuing series  of  in-school  interviews. 
Then,  we  do  not  hesitate  to  take  the 
recorder  to  the  bank,  a  farm,  a  store, 
a  factory  or  some  other  possible  point 
of  employment.  We  interview  —  or 
the  students  do  —  professional  and 
non-professional  people  and  keep  a 
file  of  work-area  interview  studies  for 
individual  and  group  listening.  These 
usually  provoke  considerable  discus- 
sion  in   class!" 

"Can  you  be  more  precise?" 

"Well,  you  are  a  teacher.  You  like 
the  profession,  or  you  would  not  have 
chosen  it,  and  you  would  not  stay 
with  it.  There  are  many  satisfactions 
for  you  in  teaching.  You  can  tell  a 
student  about  those  satisfactions  with 
difficulty.  And  you  can,  as  well,  speak 
of  the  frustrations  and  heartaches  of

teaching.  We  have  a  recording  we 
made  a  few  days  ago.  One  of  our 
teachers  is  leaving  at  the  end  of  the 
year  and  she  wanted  to  tell  just  why. 
Listen  to  this  I" 

A  moment  later  we  heard  a  rather 
pleasant,  calm  voice  saying,  ".  .  .  . 
and  I  found  much  pleasure  in  teach- 
ing. But,  like  so  many  other  men  I 
must  look  to  a  greater  financial  future 
than  teaching  offers.  I  have  a  family 
and  I  want  my  children  to  have  the 
educational  opportunities  I  have  had. 
I  cannot  do  this,  and  stay  in  teach- 
ing, so  I  am  resigning  at  the  end  of 
the  school  year  to  accept  a  position 
as  a  salesman.  I'll  be  back  occasion- 
ally because  111  be  working  in  this 
territory  —  but  I  am  assured  of  a 
better  income  by  my  new  employers. 
And  I  won't  be  entirely  leaving  edu- 
cation, either,  because  I  shall  be  meet- 
ing many  teachers,  and  many  students, 
I  hope,  selling  essential  school  sup- 
plies." 

"There,"  said  Mr.  Knotfrom,  "goes 
a  fine  teacher.  We  cannot  equal  the 
income  he  will  be  getting  as  a  sales- 
man.   Too    bad." 

"But  of  course  you  go  further  than 
teaching?" 

'Tes,  we  do.  I  mentioned  the  var- 
iety of  places  we  take  a  recorder.  We 
send  for  tapes,  too.  We  have  asked 
newspaperman  to  tell  students  about 
journalism  —  in  response  to  particular 
questions.  You  see  on  the  shelf  there 
such  titles  as  'Accountant,'  'Commer- 
cial Artist,'  'Farmer,'  'Banker,'  'Police- 
man,' 'State  Trooper,'  'Salesman,'  'Bus 
Driver,'  'Truck  Driver'  and  a  variety 
of  others.  Some  of  those  voices  repre- 
sent former  students  at  Frontier  High 
who  understand  both  the  student 
problem  here  and  the  vocational  prob- 
lem outside.  They've  lived  through 
it,  and  they  are  back  on  the  shelf 
at  least,   to  tell   us   what   they  have 


heard  and  learned.  Not  only  have  we 
this  variety  of  practical,  first-hand 
information  but  we  seek  new  infor- 
mation all  the  time.  When  a  student 
exhibits  an  interest  not  represented 
on  our  shelves,  we  set  about  to  get 
the  information  we  need  to  help  the 
student.  And  we  have  found  both 
management  and  labor  organizations 
very  eager  to  work  with  us.  For  in- 
stance, the  oil  industry  is  constantly 
looking  for  new  young  men  to  work 
in  service  stations  and  garages,  to 
train  for  management  and  supervision 
and  eventually  to  become  entrepre- 
neurs on  their  own.  We  have  a  variety 
of  information  and  recordings  sup- 
plied by  them.  And,  too,  the  appro- 
priate unions  have  helped  by  similar- 
ly answering  questions  and  supplying 
data  about  employment  possibilities 
and  about  union  activities. 

"I  should  add,"  said  Mr.  Knotfrom 
chuckling,  "that  an  insincere  man  can- 
not make  anything  but  an  insincere 
sounding  recording.  And  this  insight 
into  human  character  so  evident  in 
sound  helps  our  young  people  make 
choices." 

"Let  me  recap  so  that  I  understand 
perfectly,  Mr.  Knotfrom.  You  begin 
this  recording  program  when  the  stu- 
dent enters  the  school.  You  record 
selected  teacher-student  interviews, 
particularly  those  involving  student 
plans    and    programs." 

"That's  right.  And  as  the  student 
goes  through  Frontier  we  review  those 
recordings  with  the  student  or  alone 
as  need  and  experience  indicate." 

"Do  other  students  hear  any  of 
these  recordings?" 

"Please  do  not  consider  me  foolish, 
but  we  keep  those  particular  tapes 
under  most  careful  supervision.  These 
are  personal  and  confidential  —  and 
are  always  under  surveillance.  We  try 
to  treat  them  as  carefully  as  a  bank

"Are  there  any  commercially  p

If  there  were  disks,  would  they 
ply  to  your  school?" 
"Most  perfectly,  probably  not.  But 
;y  could  be  general  enough  to 
ply  to  any  school,  it  seems  to  me." 
'And  yet  you  would  expect  them 

offer  specific  information  about  a

"Yes.  And  I  don't  think  that  un- 
isonable.  Much  of  this  information 
iches  students  through  a  variety  of 
urces  including  magazine  articles, 
oks,  manuals  of  various  sorts  and,

their  manuals,   as  you  know,   are 

perior.  And  I  think  that  they  could

lidance.  After  all,  they  meet  all  of 

ir  boys  and  they  can  do  much  to

ile  to  young  men  today  in  this  area

experiment  with  this  guidance  re- 

rding." 

"On  tapes  .  .  .  supplying  pre-re- 
irded  tapes  to  schools?" 
"No,  on  flat  disks.  These  the  stu- 
nts can  take  home  and  review  at 
isure,  or  review  with  their  parents. 
he  few  such  tapes  we  have  were 
ade  by  former  students  returning  to 
e  old  friends  and  to  renew  acquain- 
nce  with  teachers.  And  these  are 
ally  inadequate  because,  as  you 
low,  the  regulations  involving  serv- 
e  are  changed  from  time  to  time 
id  we  just  aren't  up  to  date. 

Let  me  ask  you  a  question  for  a 
lange.  Isn't  there  some  branch  of 
ich  of  the  services  which  could  un- 
;rtake  this  sort  of  program  without 
aking  it  a  selling  program?  I  mean, 
luldn't  there  be  a  measure  of  straight 
Ik  and  explanation  without  what 
ime  of  my  youngsters  call  'the  com- 
ercial  voice?" 

Sounds  like  a  reasonable  idea  to 
e.  And  I  suspect  that  if  the  selective 
irvice  people  or  the  armed  forces 
ople  become  convinced  they  will 
3  a  good  job.  You  know,  this  idea 
ight  just  challenge  them,  and  I'd 
ire  like  to  see  them  try."

Description 

The  Weapons  Revolution,  a  kine- 
scope with  commentary  by  Founda- 
tion Director  Dale  Fuller  and  visuals 
from  motion  picture  files  of  official 
and  news  agencies,  scans  the  develop- 
ment of  weapons  from  the  rock  to  the 
ICBM,  discusses  its  effect  on  personal 
safety  and  military  strategy  today, 
and  presents  problems  of  policy  cur- 
rently facing  our  nation. 

The  program   opens   with  rapidly- 
succeeding  shots  of  electronic  detec- 
tion and  triggering  devices,  a  develop- 
ment which  had  its  origin  with  the 
Army's    acceptance    in    1909    of   the 
Wright  brothers'  invention,  was  given 
impetus     by    the    mechanization     of 
World  War  I,  and  continued  in  1919 
with  flying  torpedoes,  fore-runners  of 
today's  guided  missiles.  When  experi- 
ments during  the  1930's  finally  pro- 
duced the  B-17,  air  power  came  of 
age.  Now  total  war  was  possible-the 
kind  of  war  described  by  Billy  Mit- 
chell who   said   that  crippling  blows 
must    be    carried    into    the    enemy's 
country  against  his  whole  population 
and  his  whole  means  of  subsistence. 
Now  air  power  had  become  a  revolu- 
tionary   supplement    to    ground    and 
naval  power. 

But,    the    closing    days    of    World 
War   II   brought   two   more    weapon 
revolutions-the    V-2    rockets,    used 
against   Britain,   and   the    even   more 
awesome    power    of    nuclear    fission. 
The  latter's  effect  is  demonstrated  by 
pictures  of  Pacific  Ocean  tests  where 
an  island  three  miles  in  diameter  be- 
came  a    175-foot    crater    and    where 
fallout  effects  ranged  over  7000  square 
miles.    Once    warriors    wore    armour; 
now  they  wear  oxygen  masks.  Once 
battlefields  were  measured  by  acres; 
now,  thanks  to  inter-continental  bomb- 


ers, atomic  powered  submarines,  and 
weapons  like  the  Snark  and  Regulus 
battlefields    are    measured    by    cities 
and  even  by  continents.  The  ICBM 
moving  at  12,000  miles-per-hour  to- 
ward a  target  2000  miles  distant,  is 
pictured  as  the  most  terrifying  culmi- 
nation of  jet  propulsion.  And  just  as 
these  weapons  went  through  long  dis- 
couraging periods  of  trial  and  error 
so  must  men.   Weightlessness   is   but 
one  of  the  problems  with  which  ar- 
gonauts  must   learn   to   cope   in   the 
laboratory. 

But  concern  with  technical,   phys- 
iological, and  psychological  problems 
on  the  firing  range  and  in  the  lab- 
oratory must  not  overshadow  in  our 
minds  the  even  longer-range  problems 
of  national  policy.  To  the  "total  war" 
concept  of  1917  and   1942  must  be 
added  a   new  dimension-penetration 
along  great  circle  routes  to  total  pop- 
ulations in  places  heretofore  inacces- 
sible. How  can  masses  of  people  any- 
where and   everywhere  be  protected 
in  this  day  of  long-range  missiles  and 
nuclear  warheads?  Certainly,  in  case 
of  attack,  there  will  be  no  time  for 
democracies  to  mobilize  their  civilians 
and  their  industry.  There  mav  not  be 
time  for  even  our  President  and  the 
Pentagon  to  make  any  but  immediate 
decisions.  Indeed,  even  with  the  best 
of  preparations  for  all  kinds  of  emer- 
gencies, there  may  be  no  real  defense 
possible  against   surprise  attacks. 
Therefore,  renewed  efforts  to  reduce 
and  control  armaments  are  essential. 
But   these    become   possible    only   as 
world    tensions    are    reduced.    Mean- 
while,   we    must    maintain    a    missile 
program  strong  enough  for  retaliation 
and   at   the   time   continue   our   con- 
ventional   weapons    program    in    the 
event   of   small   wars.    Such   conflicts 
become  increasingly  significant  as  na- 
tions recognize  that  use  of  missiles  and 
nuclear  weapons  would  only  trigger 
a   worldwide  conflagration.   Thus  wc 
are  forced  into  a  double  program  of 
preparedness.

Through  creative  animation  and  livi 
demonstrations  The  World  of  Mole 
cules,  one  of  eleven  films  designee 
to  supplement  Heath's  Elementan 
Science  Series,  describes  the  rudi 
ments  of  molecular  behavior.  Specific 
attention  is  paid  to  the  properties  o: 
molecular  dispersion  and  attraction 
The  relationship  of  heat  energy  t( 
change  of  state  is  depicted  through 
use  of  a  variety  of  examples. 

The  film  opens  with  a  riddle,  "How 
are  a  ball,  a  bell,  a  book,  a  brook 
a  boy,  and  a  bike  alike?"  The  narratoi 
then  states  that  science  believes  that 
all  things  are  made  of  molecules,  and 
these  molecules  are  very  small.  Fol- 
lowing scenes  show  that  a  grain  ol 
sand  on  a  baby's  nose  contains  more 
molecules  than  there  are  grains  of 
sand  on  a   large  beach. 

The  concept  of  the  molecular  mo- 
tion in  all  things  is  introduced.  Two 
boys  set  up  an  experiment  to  prove- 


Educationai.  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide— February,  1960 


lis  statement.  They  put  a  few  drops 
f  ink  into  a  glass  of  water.  At  first 
ink  molecules  do  not  disperse 
iroughout  the  water.  Animation  is 
sed  to  portray  how  the  molecules  of 
•ater  and  ink  bump  together  and 
:-atter  the  ink  molecules.  The  boys 
re  now  seen  observing  their  glass 
f  ink  and  water  in  which  the  ink 
lok'cules  have  become  evenly  dis- 
erscd  throughout  the  liquid. 

The  relationship  between  molecular 
ehavior  and  the  sense  of  smell  is 
resented  next.  The  two  boys  prepare 

"betvveen-meals-snack"  of  dough- 
uts,  and  animation  is  used  to  show 
lial  many  of  the  doughnut  molecules 
scape  and  move  through  the  air, 
iving  the  boys  the  sensation  of  smell- 
g  the  doughnuts. 

In  the  ne.xt  scene  the  boys  are  get- 
ing  a  drink  of  water.  The  narrator 
sks,  "Why,  since  molecules  move, 
lo  the  glasses  not  melt  or  lose  shape, 
r  why  does  the  water  not  change 
[)  ice?"  Animation  is  again  used  to 
how  how  the  behavior  of  molecules 
xplains  why  things  are  either  liquid, 
ilid,  or  gaseous.  Molecules  of  a  solid 
nove  with  a  very  small  area,  mol- 
cules  of  a  liquid  have  more  motion, 
,nd  gas  molecules  are  even  more  ac- 
ive.   The   scene  then   shifts  to   show 

frying  pan,  a  bread  board,  and  a 
loughnut.  As  the  boy  breaks  off  a 
)iece  of  the  doughnut,  the  narrator 
)oints  out  that  the  molecules  of  some 
ubstances  have  a  stronger  attraction 
han  the  molecules  of  other  substances. 
Jecause  of  this  the  boy  could  not 
)reak  the  frying  pan  and  probably 
le  could  not  break  the  bread  board, 
)ut  the  doughnut  gives  him  no  trouble 
it  all. 

It  is  pointed  out  that  the  molecules 
>f  liquids  also  attract  one  another. 
This  is  demonstrated  by  a  drop  of 
vater  hanging  from  a  faucet  in  de- 
iance  of  the  laws  of  gravity,  a  large 
oap  bubble  being  made,  and  droplets 
)f  water  standing  up  in  little  balls  on 
I  piece  of  waxed  paper. 

Several  scenes  in  animation  review 
he  behavior  of  molecules  in  solids 
md  liquids.  Molecules  of  air  are 
hown  much  farther  apart  and  mov- 
ng  more  rapidly  to  indicate  that  air 
nolecules  have  little  attraction  for 
ich  other. 

The  concept  of  the  change  of  state 
s  described  through  animation,  strcss- 
ng  the  role  of  temperature  change 
IS  the  causal  agent.  The  boys  are  ob- 
;erved  eating  ice  cream  and  drinking 
nilk.  Changes  in  state  are  shown  by 
he  melting  of  ice  cream,  the  evapora- 
ion  of  milk,  and  the  condensation  of 
,vatcr  on  the  outside  of  the  cold  milk 
jottle. 

Sand,  glass,  and  metals  which  are 
solids    at    ordinary    temperatures    are 


seen  in  the  liquid  state  when  they 
have  been  heated  sufficiently.  The 
substances  are  then  pictured  in  their 
more  familiar  forms  as  a  bottle  and 
as  a  spoon  after  they  have  cooled  and 
the  molecules  ceased  to  move  as  vio- 
lently. 

The  behavior  of  molecules  during 
a  change  of  state  in  a  substance  is 
reviewed  in  animation.  In  the  closing 
sequence  the  narrator  stresses  the 
changes  of  state  that  are  constantly 
taking  place  all  about  us. 


Appraisal 

The  World  of  Molecules  provides 
the  upper  elementary  and  junior  high 
student  with  a  very  clear  explanation 
of  one  of  the  fundamental  principles 
of  science.  The  film  very  effectively 
uses  animation  to  make  an  involved 
subject  quite  simple.  The  teacher  will 
find  this  film  a  welcome  teaching  tool 
because  it  shows  vividly  a  concept 
which  often  at  this  grade  level  is  only 
talked   about.   The   film   can   also   be

The  animation  departs  from  the 
traditional  portrayal  of  molecules  as 
spheres  in  favor  of  more  abstract 
shapes  which  may  be  preferable  since 
actual    molecules    are    not    spherical.

The  Story  of  the  Modern 
Storage  Battery 

(United  States  Bureau  of  Mines, 
Graphic  Services  Section,  4800  Forbes 
Street,  Pittsburgh  13,  Pennsylvania) 
Produced  by  Willard  Storage  Battery

Description 

The  Story  of  the  Modem  Storage 
Battery  uses  live  action  photography 
and  animation  to  survey  the  multitude 
of  uses  the  storage  battery  serves  in 
everyday  activities;  to  present  a  sim- 
plified explanation  of  primary  and 
secondary  cells;  to  trace  the  steps  in 


manufacturing  the  storage  battery; 
and  to  stress  the  care  required  for 
long  battery  life. 

The  film  opens  with  views  of  the 
automobile  storage  battery  and  relates 
the  battery  to  such  functions  as  start- 
ing the  car  engine  and  stand-by  power 
for  the  lights  and  radio.  Other  uses 
of  storage  batteries  are  suggested  in 
guided  missiles,  ocean  buoys,  and  for 
emergency   use   in   hospitals. 

Having  established  the  importance 
of  storage  batteries,  the  film  develops 
the  principles  of  operation  of  such 
batteries.  Using  common  objects  such 
as  a  penny,  a  quarter,  and  a  grape- 
fruit, the  film  demonstrator  builds  a 
simple  primary  cell.  Volta's  zinc  and 
silver  voltaic  pile  is  shown  and  related 
to  the  later  zinc-acid  primary  cell. 
Noting  that  such  a  cell  cannot  be 
reactivated  once  the  negative  plate  is 
consumed,  the  film  turns  to  the  lead- 
acid  storage  cell  and  develops  the 
principles  of  the  "storage"  process. 
The  film  presents  the  chemistry  of 
the  charging  and  discharging  process- 
es in  simple  form.  The  evolution  of 
lead  peroxide-filled  grids  from  a  sim- 
ple lead  plate  is  depicted.  The  demon- 
strator emphasizes  that  only  a  chem- 
ical change  occurs  in  storage  batter- 


ies;  that  electricity  is  not  stored. 

The  third  section  of  this  film  shov 
manufacturing   steps   in    storage   ba 
tery    production    from    molding    th 
grids    to    the    final    assembly    into 
completed  battery. 

The  final  sequence  gives  a  dramati 
portrayal  of  some  of  the  abuses  whic 
can  reduce  the  useful  life  of  an  autc 
mobile  storage  battery,  and  the  wa>| 
in  which  these  abuses  can  be  prti 
vented. 


Appraisal 

The  Story  of  the  Modern  Storag 
Battery  will  be  very  suitable  for  us 
in  general  science  or  science  surve 
courses  in  junior  or  senior  high  schoo 
but  it  will  probably  be  less  suitabl 
for  use  in  chemistry  or  physics.  Th' 
presentation  of  technical  informatioi 
such  as  the  chemical  processes  ii 
storage  cells  is  simplified  so  that  m 
background  in  chemistry  is  needed  b; 
the  viewer.  This  film  may  go  beyom 
the  immediate  goals  of  some  teacher 
in  presenting  uses,  principles  of  opera 
tion,  manufacturing  steps,  and  opera 
tional  problems  all  in  one  film  pro 
gram.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


Last  week  someone  asked  us  the 
question  that  always  causes  us  to  see 
slightly  reddish  specks  before  our  eyes 
-namely  "Don't  you  think  it  is  time 
that  filmstrip  producers  standardized 
the  number  of  frames  to  be  included 
in  a  classroom  filmstrip!"  To  our  way 
of  thinking  this  would  be  one  of  the 
most  fatal  things  that  could  possibly 
happen  in  the  name  of  good  instruc- 
tional materials,  and  something  we 
hope  never  to  see  come  to  pass!  The 
minute  we  say  there  is  one  format  into 
which  any  instructional  materials 
should  fit  we  have  destroyed  the  very 
basic  reason  for  using  these  same  ma- 
terials—namely as  a  means  of  bringing 
variety  and  reality  to  a  learning  situa- 
tion. The  fact  that  different  producers 
give  us  a  slightly  different  approach 
to  a  subject  is  what  lends  value  to 
their  material  and  provides  both  teach- 
er and  pupils  with  a  means  whereby  to 
study  subjects  from  different  sides  of  a 
question.  It  is  true  that  instructional 
materials  should  help  to  interpret  the 
traditional  curriculum  areas,  but  this 
does  not  mean  that  there  is  only  one 
road  by  which  to  reach  this  goal. 
Let's  beware  of  anyone  who  tries  to 
stereotype  materials  to  such  a  degree 
that  they  lose  identity  and  interest  ap- 
peal for  that  most  important  of  per- 
sons—the individual  pupil  sitting  in 
our  class. 

Builders  of  America  (8  strips,  black 
and  white;  produced  by  Encyclopae- 
dia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wilmette 
Ave.,  Wilmette,  111.;  $24  per  set,  $3 
single  strips).  All  too  often  history 
fails  to  interest  pupils  because  they 
feel  no  association  with  people,  with 
men  and  women  who  made  the  his- 
tory under  consideration.  In  this  series 
the  producers  take  eight  leaders  who 
have  contributed  to  the  growth  of  our 
a)untry  and  give  us  some  idea  of  what 
they  were  like  as  people  and  as  lead- 
ers. The  names  included  in  the  series 
are  Boone,  Lewis  and  Clark,  Eli  Whit- 
ney, John  C.  Fremont,  Andrew  Car- 
negie, Susan  B.  Anthony,  Horace 
Mann  and  Booker  Washington.  The 
details  included  in  the  accounts  pro- 
vide an  idea  of  what  the  individual 
was  like  as  a  person  and  of  what  they 
did  to  help  build  America.  The  strips 
are  fairly  long  and  should  be  used  in 
sections  as  each  person  is  studied. 
They   are  adapted  to  work  in  social 


studies  and  also  could  be  well  used  for 
language  arts,  in  the  upper  grades 
and  in  junior  and  senior  high  school. 

How  the  West  Was  Won  (4  film- 
strips,  color;  produced  by  Life  Film- 
strips,  9  Rockefeller  Plaza,  New  York 
20,  N.  Y.;  $6  each,  $5  if  four  or  more 
ordered).  Life  for  the  trailblazers 
and  homesteaders  who  helped  to  build 
the  great  western  states  was  rugged, 
but  colorful.  There  is  a  variety  of  pic- 
torial detail  in  this  series,  for  the  ma- 
terial is  selected  from  paintings  and 
manuscripts.  Pupils  will  no  doubt  be 
interested  in  the  pictures  of  cowboys 
and  covered  wagon  pioneers.  There  is 
no  attempt  to  provide  a  single  story 
element,  but  many  elements  are  in- 
cluded to  provide  a  pictiu-e  record  of 
people  and  events.  This  is  resource 
type  material,  and  will  be  found  use- 


ful in  helping  to  make  visual  many 
stories  in  books  and  pamphlets.  The 
strips  can  easily  be  used  in  conjunction 
with  any  text  material. 

Instruments  of  the  Symphony  Or- 
chestras (6  strips,  color,  with  6  12- 
inch,  3314  rpm.  records;  produced  by 
Jam  Handy  Organization,  2821  E. 
Grand  Boulevard,  Detroit  11,  Mich.; 
$51  per  set,  $8.95  individual  film- 
strips  with  record).  Those  who  wish 
either  to  be  musicians  or  to  be  able  to 
understand  musical  presentations  need 
to  know  something  of  musical  instru- 
ments. In  this  series  very  good  draw- 
ings take  us  back  into  the  historical 
development  of  different  instruments 
of  the  symphony  orchestra  and  then 
photographs  show  us  how  modem  per- 
formers play  these  same  instruments. 
Ample  opportunity  is  given  to  hear 
how  the  various  instruments  sound 
when  played.  Music  classes  will,  of 
course,  find  the  series  of  great  help. 
We  wish,  however,  that  more  of  this 
type  material  would  also  be  made  part 
of  club  programs  language  arts  imits. 
The  "well  educated"  person,  who  as 
an  adult,  will  be  part  of  the  great  con- 
cert-going public  needs  to  have  a 
knowledge  and  appreciation  of  what 
this  filmstrip  series  provides— a  work- 
ing familiarity  with  the  instruments

The  three  imperative  requirements  for  audio  equipment  to  be  used  for  instruc- 
tion and  recreation— safety,  audience  coverage,  dependability— are  fully  met 
in  all  Newcomb  audio  products.  Transformers  isolate  electronic  elements  from 
the  power  mains  to  positively  prevent  shock.  They  also  improve  performance. 
Coverage  and  intelligibility  are  achieved  by  high  fidelity  circuitry  and  by  care- 
fully matching  output  systems  with  loudspeakers  for  optimum  efficiency. 
Newcomb  ruggedized  construction  provides  the  dependability  needed  for 
schedule-keeping  operation.  Cases  are  made  of  crack-proof,  warp-proof  ply- 
wood, glue-blocked  for  added  strength,  covered  with  washable,  scratch-resist- 
ant fabrikoid,  protected  by  metal  corners.  Come-apart  hinges  eliminate  the 
most  vulnerable  part  of  cabinet  construction.  All  parts  are  American-made 
including  the  new  four-speed  phono  motors. 

When  buying  for  the  future,  look  to  the  past.  Consult  your  own  service 
records.  You  will  find  that  Newcomb  equipment  costs  less  to  own  on  the  basis 
of  amortization . . .  less  to  maintain  on  any  basis.  Equate  service  life  and  up- 
keep against  initial  cost  and  you  will  find  that  Newcomb  is  your  most  astute 
investment  in  lasting  quality.  It  will  pay  you  to  specify  Newcomb  every  time.

Language  Filmst rips-French  f  o  r 
Elementary  Schools,  Set  No.  1  and 
Spanish  for  Elementary  Schools,  Set 
No.  1  (each  set  6  filmstrips,  color, 
with  3  10-inch  331/3  rpm.  records; 
produced  by  Young-America-McGraw- 
Hill  Book  Co.,  330  West  42  St.,  New 
York  36,  N.  Y.;  $57.50  per  set).  In 
each  instance  this  is  material  for  the 
very  beginning  study  of  either  French 
or  Spanish,  and  it  is  specifically  plan- 
ned for  such  work  in  the  elementary 
grades.  Art  work  and  pictures  are  sim- 
ilar and  the  plan  is  to  familiarize 
pupils  with  simple,  easy  conversation. 
In  each  instance  the  teacher  may  se- 
lect a  plan  to  be  followed;  she  may 
use  that  part  of  the  filmstrips  which 
has  no  captions,  or  she  may  turn  to 
the  section  in  which  the  captions  are 
included.  Records  provide  accent  and 
enunciation  and  there  is  a  possibility 
for  considerable  variety  in  the  way  in 
which  the  material  is  to  be  used  in  the 
classroom.  Words  and  phrases  are  sim- 
ple and  the  design  is  intended  to 
elicit  complete  sentence  response  from 
the  pupils  viewing  the  strips. 

New  Nations  in  the  World  Balance 
(single  strip,  black  and  white;  one  in 
a  series  of  monthly  filmstrips,  pro- 
duced by  The  New  York  Times,  229 
West  43  St.,  New  York  36,  N.  Y.;  $15 
for  complete  series,  $2.50  single  strip ) . 
Very  often  it  will  be  found  easier  to 
stimulate  discussion  of  world  affairs 
if  there  is  a  series  of  pictures  to  which 
to  direct  attention.  New  filmstrips 
have  always  seemed  to  be  one  way  of 
doing  this  and  the  present  strip  centers 
our  attention  on  people  and  events  in 
the  new  nations  of  Africa  and  Asia. 
Maps  and  diagrams  help  to  outline 
the  points.  There  is  considerable  sim- 
ilarity to  the  patterns  followed  by  the 
groups  here  considered  and  the  film- 
strip  helps  to  indicate  what  problems 
must  be  faced  and  dealt  with  before 
these  nations  achieve  true  status  as 
world  nations. 

Outlines  of  Natural  Science  (5  film- 
strips,  color;  produced  by  Long  Film- 
slide  Service,  7505  Fairmount  Ave., 
El  Cerrito  8,  Calif.;  $23.50  per  set, 
$5.00  single  strips).  The  purpose  of 
these  strips  is  to  introduce  students  to 
biology,  cells,  invertebrates,  vertebrates 
and  plants.  Charts,  drawings,  diagrams 
and  photographs  are  combined  for  this 
purpose,  and  the  needs  of  the  begin- 
ning science  student  in  junior  or  senior 
high  school  have  been  considered. 
Explanations  are  clearly  presented  and 
the  viewer  led  along  to  new  concepts 
and  facts.  This  is  material  that  can  be 
used  with  any  text.

$6  single  strip).  As  the  title  indicates 
this  strip  is  designed  to  outUne  the 
importance  of  the  1st,  4th,  5th,  6th 
and  8th  amendments.  Takes  us  to  a 
mythical  country  where  the  citizens 
have  all  the  rights  possessed  by  Amer- 
icans except  those  guaranteed  in  the 
listed  amendments,  and  we  see  what 
happens  under  the  circumstances.  The 
strips  can  thus  be  used  as  part  of  a 
social  studies  unit  or  for  more  detailed 
presentation  and  possible  dramatiza- 
tion or  lengthy  discussion  in  other 
classes  as  well.  Incidents  used  are 
typical  of  those  occurring  in  many 
areas  of  the  world  today  and  there  is 
a  timeliness  to  the  presentation.

Interchurch  Center 

The  Broadcasting  and  Film  Commis- 
sion and  the  Department  of  Audio- 
visual and  Broadcast  Education  are  now 
located  imder  one  roof  with  many  other 
Protestant  church  agencies  in  the  new 
Interchurch  Center  at  475  Riverside 
Drive,  New  York  27,  N.  Y.  Possible  con- 
fusion will  be  avoided  if  just  a  little 
extra  care  is  taken  to  address  mail  as 
specifically  as  possible.  Margaret  Carter 
suggests  the  addition  of  "Film  Distribu- 
tion Department"  on  BFC  mail  intended 
for  her  department.  Mail  flyers  are 
available,  free,  on  currently  empha- 
sized mission  areas. 


Vinyl  for  Light  Control 

"Tox-Shade"  vinyl  sheeting  for  ap- 
plication to  window  glass  to  "screen  out 
fatigue-producing  glare  in  work  areas 
and  prevent  excessive  temperature 
build-up  from  direct  exposure  to  sun- 
light" is  now  available  in  several  trans- 
parent, translucent  and  opaque  colors, 
custom  cut  to  exact  window  dimensions 
and,  now,  in  sheet  size  up  to  48"x72". 
Applied  without  adhesive  by  simply 
squeegeeing  to  the  pane,  it  reportedly 
produces  a  perfect  bond  lasting  as  long 
as  desired.  It  is  readily  stripable,  stor- 
able,  and  remains  as  washable  as  the 
glass  itself.

New  Kalart/Victor  Improves  16mm  Programs  3  Ways 


This  classroom  photograph  reveals  three  common 
audio-visual  problems  —  and  how  they  are  best 
solved  by  the  new  Kalart/Victor. 

1.  Hard-to-darken  room.  Only  a  projector  with 
the  superior  light  output  of  the  Kalart/Viaor 
could  assure  adequate  screen  brightness.  Its  rede- 
signed shutter  alone  increases  light  output  12%. 
For  even  more  light,  a  1200  watt  lamp  may  be  used. 

2.  Distracting  Projector  noise.  The  new  Kalart/ 
Victor  is  the  quietest  running  I6mm  sound  pro- 
jector ever  built.  Even  students  closest  to  the 
projector  are  undistracted. 


3.  Choice  in  speaker  placement.  While  the 
speaker  is  next  to  the  screen  in  this  classroom, 
the  film  could  have  been  shown  without  ever 
removing  the  speaker  from  the  projeaor.  Only 
Kalart/Victor  offers  the  nev/ door-mounted  speaker 
which  can  be  left  closed  on  the  projector,  or 
detached. 

Other  major  Kalart/Victor  improvements  in- 
clude truly  magnificent  sound  quality,  once-a-year 
lubrication,  and  brighter  than  ever  stills.  Choose 
from  models  with  15-watt  or  25-watt  amplifier. 
Ask  your  authorized  Victor  Dealer  for  a  demon- 
stration soon.

Cover  Scene 

"No  matter  what  type  of  photog- 
raphy, there  are  a  thousand  differ- 
ent presentations  possible.  .  ."  Thus 
says  the  sound  on  this  frame  of  Du- 
Kane  Corporation's  new  filmstrip  on 
the  various  techniques  of  sound  film- 
strip  (sound  slidefilm)  production. 


"Bright  Spot,  Dark  Spot!" 

An  item  which  drew  our  particu- 
lar attention  in  the  mail  recently 
was  a  48-page  illustrated  report  to 
the  governor  and  general  assembly 
of  the  state  of  Georgia  by  Claude 
Purcell,  state  superintendent  of 
schools.  Topped  with  the  above 
title,  this  is  an  attractive,  sharply 
communicative  publication,  visual- 
ized throughout  with  apt  pencil 
drawings,  photos,  charts  and  icono- 
graphs. 

The  booklet  points  up  some  good 
lessons.  'Half  a  loaf  may  be  better 
than  none  in  some  instances,  but 
'half  an  annual  report  on  the  state 
school  system'  fails  to  use  all  weap- 
ons to  reach  its  objective. 

The  Georgia  presentation  is  an 
effective  report  and  must  be  draw- 
ing praise  from  many  quarters. 

Of  special  interest  to  us  is  the 
full  page  devoted  to  audiovisual 
materials.  To  quote  in  part: 
"Georgia  schools  use  8,000  films  a 
week.  Last  year,  1430  schools  used 
238,023.  Our  film  librarv-started 
Nov.  18,  1947,  and  now  the  largest 
of  its  kind  in  the  world— has  4,339 
films,  with  45,047  prints,  that  are 
sent  to  schools  from  the  four  film 
libraries:  Atlanta,  Collegeboro,  Tif- 
ton,  and  Macon.  In  1955,  tapes  were 
added    and    we    now    have    6,000 


tapes  of  drama,  poetry,  speeche: 
music,  and  discussion  topics."

lected audiovisual  materials.  "The 
audiovisual  media  can  be  effectively 
used  to  improve  instruction  and  to  en- 
rich learning,"  he  said,  "but  we  know 
that  the  tool  must  serve  both  the  in- 
structor and  the  student  and  remain 
subject  to  the  will  of  both  without  re- 
placing either."

Marks  Appointed  Chairman 
of  NAVA  Convention 

Harvey  W.  Marks,  Visual  Aid  Cen- 
ter, Denver,  Colorado,  has  been  named 
general  convention  chairman  of  the 
1960  National  Audio- Visual  Conven- 
tion at  the  Morrison  Hotel,  Chicago, 
August  6-9,  according  to  an  announce- 
ment by  W.  G.  Kirtley,  president  of 
the  National  Audio-Visual  Association. 

The  National  Audio-Visual  conven- 
tion features  the  largest  single  ex- 
hibit of  audio-visual  equipment  and 
materials  in  the  world,  according  to 
the  association.  Some  2.500  AV  people, 
including  several  groups  of  AV  users, 
are  expected  to  attend  the  event  this 
year. 

Marks,  who  is  the  present  first  vice 
president  of  NAVA,  recently  con- 
ducted a  survey  to  evaluate  the  1959 
convention.  "Responses  from  several 
hundred  audiovisual  people  who  at- 
tended last  year's  convention  indicated 
strong  backing  for  the  move  in  which 
the  hours  of  oin-  exhibit  were  extend- 
ed."

Tired 
Fears 


Paul  C.  Reed 


We  probably  don't  mean  that  people's  fears  can  get  tired  as  thei 
blood  allegedly  does.  What  we  are  trying  to  say  is  that  we  get  tired  o: 
hearing  about  a  recurring  fear  teachers  are  supposed  to  have.  We  jus' 
can't  believe  that  teachers  really  do  become  as  fearful  as  people  sa) 
they  do  about  losing  their  jobs  every  time  a  new  communication; 
tool  comes  along. 

Here's  the  kind  of  thing  they  say:  "Classroom  teachers  felt  threat- 
ened by  the  spectre  of  their  jobs  being  swallowed  up  by  the  mechani- 
cal monster."  Now  what  mechanical  monster  was  that?  An  electronic 
computer?  A  guided  message  machine?  A  motion  picture  projector? 
No,  the  one  meant  this  time  was  educational  television.  The  sentence, 
quoted  from  a  recent  distinguished  publication,  attempts  to  summa- 
rize teachers  reactions  to  the  new  idea  of  educational  television. 

What  teachers  felt  that  way?  How  many  of  them?  When?  Where? 
We're  skeptical.  We  doubt  very  much  that  such  fears  ever  were 
seriously  felt  by  teachers.  Maybe  such  fears  are  the  inventions  of 
phrase  makers  who  write  about  education.  Maybe  they  are  the  devices 
of  vested  interests.  Maybe  they  are  the  propaganda  of  guardians  of 
the  status  quo  who  resent  any  change  in  traditional  methods  —  espe- 
cially teaching  methods.  Regardless,  they  are  tired  fears.  The  fear  of 
teachers  losing  their  jobs  is  a  worn-out  reason  for  denouncing  new 
developments. 

Before  the  "monster"  of  television  became  a  spectre  threatening 
teacher  jobs,  there  was  educational  radio.  During  the  thirties  there 
was  reference  in  educational  discussions  and  articles  to  the  danger 
that  this  new  tool,  carrying  teaching  words  into  an  unlimited  number 
of  classrooms,  might  eventually  displace  teachers.  Twenty-five  years 
earlier,  when  people  began  talking  about  the  power  of  the  movies  to 
bring  learners  information  and  ideas,  teachers  then  were  supposed 
to  be  opposing  this  new  development  for  fear  they  would  lose  their 
jobs. 

We  suspect  that  this  imagined  chronic  fear  of  teachers  goes  back 
even  further  than  that.  Five  hundred  years  ago,  when  books  were 
first  printed,  somebody  probably  said  that  teachers  wouldn't  like  the 
idea  for  fear  of  unemployment.  Learners  wouldn't  have  time  to  listen 
to  teachers  anymore;  they'd  be  busy  reading.  If  that  rumor  was  started 
then,  it  could  have  been  a  speech  teacher  who  said  it  first! 

We're  tired  of  hearing  about  teachers  fearing  the  competition  of 
technological  improvements  in  communication  and  in  educational 
methods.  We  hope  you  are  too.  We  hope  you  will  be  as  impatient 
with  such  notions  as  we  are.  Challenge  the  statements!  Did  you  ever 
know  of  a  teacher  who  lost  his  job  because  of  a  book?  Or  an  educa- 
tional motion  picture?  Or  a  filmstrip?  Or  a  radio  program?  Or  a 
television  teaching  spectacular?  Do  you  think  that  teachers  are  so 
insecure  and  unsure  of  themselves  that  they  think  the  new  teaching 
machines  will  cause  teacher  bread  lines? 

We  believe  that  learning  and  teaching  are  here  to  stay.  We  beheve 
that  nothing  will  ever  be  invented  to  surpass  a  teacher's  ability  to 
help  another  person  learn.  We  also  believe  that  teachers  can  do  their 
most  effective  teaching  when  they  have  at  their  command  the  tools 
of  communication  and  learning  that  this  technological  age  has  given 
them.

ATOW  does  a  good  audiovisual  pro- 
gram operate?  What  makes  it  work?  Why 
is  it  a  success? 

These  are  the  questions  I  had  in  mind 
when  I  went  to  Springfield,  Oregon,  to 
see  a  top-notch  audiovisual  program  in 
action.  During  my  visit,  Mr.  Clarence 
Strong,  audiovisual  supervisor,  answered 
these  questions  and  many  more.  For  in- 
stance: "To  have  a  successful  program," 
he  said,  "you  must  have  administrative 
support,  financial  support,  plus  coopera- 
tion from  the  staff  and  community.  This 
is  essential." 

"But  support  alone  does  not  guarantee 
a  successful  program,"  Mr.  Strong  con- 
tinued. "The  best  guarantee  is  to  pro- 
vide good  service.  Service— the  only  rea- 
son for  the  existence  of  our  instructional 
materials  center— is  the  heart  of  our 
program."

A  Study  of  Teachers'  Attitudes 
Toward  Audiovisual  Materials 


by  Gaylen  B.  Kelley 


HILE  there  has  been  a  great  deal  of  re- 
arch  effort  expended  on  the  various  types  of 
iidiovisual  materials  and  the  administrative  pro- 
edures  for  using  them,  very  few  investigations 
ave  dealt  with  the  classroom  teacher  as  a  part 
f  the  learning  situation  involving  instructional 
laterials.  The  attitude  that  the  teacher  holds 
sgarding  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials  will 
reatly  affect  the  success  of  any  audiovisual 
rogram. 

"The  realization  is  rapidly  growing,"  noted 
lemmers,  "that  attitudes,  the  way  individuals 
nd  groups  feel  about  the  various  aspects  of 
leir  world,  are  probably  more  determinative 
f  behavior  than  mere  cognitive  understanding 
f  this  world."*  In  a  recent  study,  the  writer 
ttempted  to  find  the  relative  importance  of 
arious  background  factors  in  determining  teach- 
rs'  attitudes  toward  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
?rials. 

Audiovisual  directors  and  others  in  the  audio- 
isual  field  point  to  such  factors  as  a  teacher's 
ge  or  sex,  the  ease  of  ordering  and  using  ma- 
erials,  the  presence  of  a  building  coordinator  or 
chool  system  audiovisual  director,  and  many 
thers  as  affecting  the  way  in  which  teachers 
iew  the  use  of  these  materials. 

There  is  a  highly  significant  relationship  be- 
ween  teachers  attitudes  toward  audiovisual  ma- 
erials  and  wJiether  or  not  they  have  had  the 
ncouragement  of  the  various  supervisors  in  the 
chool  system.  When  the  attitude  continuum  was 
ivided  into  the  high,  medium,  and  low  attitude 
;roups  for  the  statistical  analysis,  there  were 
ewer  teachers  in  the  low  attitude  group  when 
he  teachers  had  noted,  on  the  background  in- 
ormation  sheet,  that  they  had  encouragement 
rom  their  supervisors  in  their  use  of  audio- 
isual  materials.  There  were  more  teachers  in 
he  low  attitude  grouping  when  they  noted  that 
hey  did  not  have  this  encouragement. 

The  supervisors  are  key  persons  in  the  en- 
ouragement  of  audiovisual  usage  by  teachers. 
V  special  effort  should  be  made  to  insure  that 
upervisors  are  well  trained  in  the  proper  use 
)f  audiovisual  materials. 

There  is  a  highly  significant  relationship  be- 
ween  teachers  attitudes  toward  audiovisual  ma-

brothers,  1954),  p.  15. 


teriah  and  the  frequencti  with  which  they  use 
them  in  the  classroom,  individuals  who  are  in- 
volved in  teacher  training  need  to  become  more 
concerned  with  the  important  part  played  by 
attitude  when  they  attempt  to  encourage  teach- 
ers to  use  audiovisual  materials. 

The  relationship  between  ease  of  ordering 
materials  and  attitude  toward  audiovisual  ma- 
terials is  highly  significant.  When  the  teachers 
noted  that  it  was  easy  for  them  to  order  audio- 
visual materials,  there  were  fewer  tearhers  in 
the  low  attitude  grouping  than  would  be  ex- 
pected from  the  theoretical  frequency  for  this 
Eortion  of  the  chi-square  table.  Teachers  quickly 
ecome  discouraged  when  involved  and  com- 
plicated procedures  are  necessary  for  the  order- 
ing of  audiovisual  materials.  It  is  important  that 
this  phase  of  audiovisual  utilization  be  kept  as 
simple  as  possible. 

There  is  a  very  high  degree  of  relationship 
between  attitude  toward  audiovisual  materials 
and  satisfactory  experience  with  their  use.  We 
tend  to  want  to  repeat  those  experiences  that 
are  satisfying  and,  on  the  other  hand,  retreat 
from  unsatisfactory  experiences.  Thus  when  ma- 
terials do  not  arrive  on  time,  equipment  does 
not  work,  and  we  have  a  generally  unsatisfactory 
experience  with  our  use  of  audiovisual  materials, 
we  have  a  tendency  to  not  place  ourselves  in 
the  same  situation  again.  Each  unsatisfactory  ex- 
perience with  the  use  of  these  materials  is  apt 
to  have  an  effect  on  teachers'  attitudes  toward 
their  use. 


/V  S  might  be  expected,  there  is  a  highly  signif- 
icant relationship  between  the  amount  of  equip- 
ment available  and  the  attitudes  of  teachers  to- 
ward the  use  of  audiovisual  materials.  An  anal- 
ysis of  the  distribution  of  attitude  seems  to  in- 
dicate that  when  teachers  have  access  to  a  great 
deal  of  equipment,  they  are  more  moderate  in 
their  attitudes  toward  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials. When  they  do  not  have  all  of  the  equip- 
ment they  need,  they  tend  to  hold  either  highly 
favorable  attitudes  or  on  the  other  hand,  very 
negative  attitudes.  It  may  be  that  those  teachers 
who  do  not  have  the  equipment  that  they  need 
tend  to  be  focused  into  two  attitude  groups: 
those  who  take  the  lack  of  equipment  as  a  stimu- 
lus to  greater  effort,  perhaps  in  using  types 
of  materials  that  do  not  require  equipment,  and 
those  who  take  a  negative  attitude  and  simply 
give  up  in  defeat.

Research  Method  For  This  Study 


In  order  to  test  the  validity  of  some  of 
these  assumed  relationships,  an  attitude  rat- 
ing scale  was  constructed  by  means  of  the 
Thurstone  technique.  An  initial  pool  of 
statements  expressing  some  sort  of  attitude 
toward  audiovisual  materials  was  collected 
from  teachers  on  the  various  grade  levels. 
These  statements  were  edited  and  sent  to 
a  jury  made  up  of  members  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Audiovisual  Instruction  of  the 
National  Education  Association.  These 
judge  rated  the  statements  on  a  nine  point 
rating  scale  according  to  the  degree  of 
negative  or  positive  attitude  expressed. 

By  means  of  statistical  techniques  in- 
cluding a  determination  of  the  semi-inter- 
quartile range  of  statement  judgments  for 
each  of  the  items  on  the  scale  and  an 
item  analysis,  22  statements  regarding  at- 
titude were  selected  which  covered  the 
continuum  from  a  very  negative  to  a  very 
positive  attitude  toward  the  use  of  audio- 
visual materials.  A  split-half  reliability  of 
.64  was  obtained  after  correction  by  means 
of  the  Spearman-Brown  formula.  The  atti- 
tude rating  scale  along  with  the  background 
information  sheet,  which  requested  back- 
ground data  to  be  used  in  making  the  com- 
parisons was  administered  to  995  teachers 
from  kindergarten  through  the  college  level. 
Twenty-four  comparisons  were  made  be- 
tween background  factors  and  an  index  of 
attitude  obtained  from  the  attitude  rating. 

The  returned  rating  scales  were  scored 
and  placed  in  rank-order  according  to  size 
of  score  obtained.  These  scores  were  di- 
vided into  three  categories  corresponding 
to  high,  medium,  and  low  attitudes  toward 
audiovisual  materials. 

Chi-square  tables  were  then  set  up  for 
the  various  comparisons  between  attitude 
as  measured  by  the  rating  scale  and  the 
various  background  factors.  The  .05  level 
of  confidence  was  chosen  to  determine  sig- 
nificance. In  the  follovnng  discussion  of 
the  results  of  the  various  comparisons,  the 
statement,  "highly  significant  relationship," 
means  that  the  comparison  was  significant 
at  the  .01  level  of  confidence.  Twelve  of 
the  comparisons  between  attitude  and  back- 
ground factor  were  significant  at  the  .01 
level  of  confidence,  while  four  were  sig- 
nificant at  the  .05  level  of  confidence. 

It  should  be  remembered  that  the  fact 
that  there  is  a  significant  relationship  be- 
tween attitude  and  a  specific  factor  does 
not  mean  that  there  is  a  cause-effect  re- 
lationship between  the  background  factor 
and  teachers'  attitudes.  For  example,  the 
fact  that  the  comparison  of  attitude  with  the 
sex  of  the  teacher  is  highly  significant,  does 
not  mean  that  sex  determines  attitude.  For 
some  unknown  reason,  women  tend  to  score 
higher  on  an  attitude  rating  scale  relating 
to  use  of  audiovisual  materials  than  do  men. 


There  is  a  very  high  degree  of  relationship  bJ 
tween  teachers'  attitudes  toward  audiovisual  ml 
terials  and  the  frequency  with  which  they  ai' 
used  by  fellow  teachers.  This  is  probably  anoth( 
example  of  what  has  been  termed  "other  d 
rection."  We  tend  to  take  our  direction  or  cu 
for  behavior  from  our  peer  group,  in  this  cas 
other  teachers  who  are  close  associates.  It  takt 
courage  and  extra  effort  to  utilize  audiovisu; 
materials  when  teaching  in  a  system  where  sue 
techniques  are  frowned  upon  by  other  teachei 
and  administrators. 

There  appears  to  be  a  relationship  betwee 
the  grade  level  on  which  a  teacher  works  an 
his  attitude  toward  audiovisual  materials.  Th 
comparison  was  highly  significant.  Kindergarte 
and  elementary  level  teachers  tend  to  have  be 
ter  attitudes  (score  higher  on  the  rating  scale 
toward  audiovisual  materials  than  do  those  i 
junior  high  and  high  school.  On  the  colleg 
level  the  distribution  of  attitude  is  about  norma 
with  the  obtained  and  theoretical  frequencie 
in  the  various  attitude  catagories  closely  aj 
proximating  one  another. 

The  old  saying,  "teachers  teach  as  they  hav 
been  taught"  comes  to  mind  when  it  is  note 
that  there  is  a  highly  significant  relationshi 
between  the  ttjpe  of  learning  experience  th 
teachers  have  had  during  their  training  and  the\ 
attitudes  toward  audiovisual  materials.  If  thei 
college  instructors  used  these  materials  ofter 
they  tended  to  have  a  higher  attitude  towari 
their  use.  If  college  instructors  used  audiovisuf, 
materials  only  seldom,  their  students— when  the 
started  teaching— tended  to  have  a  poorer  atti 
tude  toward  the  use  of  these  materials.  W 
should  make  every  effort  to  encourage  the  us 
of  audiovisual  materials  in  our  teacher  trainin 
institutions  if  we  want  our  students  to  use  thesi 
materials  when  they  begin  their  teaching  careers 

Such  environmental  factors  as  ease  of  roon 
darkening,  availability  of  electrical  outlets 
screens,  chalkboards  and  bulletin  boards  art 
highly  significant  in  their  effect  on  teachers 
attitudes  toward  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma 
teriah.  These  factors  should  be  considered  whei 
older  school  facilities  are  being  remodeled  anc 
new  buildings  are  planned. 


J.T  is  interesting  to  note  that  there  is  a  highlj 
significant  relationship  between  the  teacher, 
sex  and  his  attitude  toward  audiovisual  materials 
There  is  a  definite  tendency  for  women  to  have 
better  attitudes  ( score  higher  on  the  rating  scale  ] 
toward  the  use  of  these  materials  than  men. 

When  the  materials  used  by  teachers  are  ir 
poor  condition  the  teachers  tend  to  have  lowei 
attitudes  toward  their  use.  Film  libraries  anc 
others  responsible  for  the  circulation  of  audio- 
visual materials  must  make  certain  that  they  are 
in  good  phvsical  condition.  Broken  films,  torr 
sprocket  holes,  tattered  maps,  charts,  and  pic 
tures,  all  contribute  to  the  formation  of  teachers 
attitudes  toward  audiovisual  materials.  This  was- 
also  a  highly  significant  factor  in  terms  of  at- 
titude formation. 

College  course  work  in  audiovisual  material' 
and  training  in  the  production  of  these  materiah 
are  both  significant  factors  in  the  formation  o) 
attitude.    Those    who    have    had    either    forma;

oiirse  work  in  audiovisual  education  or  train- 
nti  in  the  production  of  these  materials  tend  to 
i,i\e  better  attitudes  toward  their  use. 

There  is  a  significant  relationship  between  a 
racher's  age  atul  his  attitude  toward  audiovisual 
materials.  Younger  teachers  seem  to  have  a  dis- 
rihution  of  attitude  between  the  high,  medium, 
lid  low  attitude  groupings  that  would  be  ex- 
Hctcd  from  the  theoretical  frequencies  for  these 
ategories.  Those  teachers  between  the  ages  of 
iirty  and  fifty  tend  to  have  lower  attitudes,  and 
hose  over  fifty  years  of  age  tend  to  be  more 
iioderate  or  conservative  in  their  attitudes  to- 
\ard  these  materials.  The  older  teacher  is  not, 
Miwever,  the  teacher  with  the  poorest  attitude 
oward  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials. 


i  HERE  is  a  significant  relationship  between 
he  number  of  years  of  formal  education  and 
iltitude  toward  audiovisual  materials.  As  a 
oup,  teachers  with  one  to  four  years  of  training 
>  ond  high  school  have  better  attitudes  toward 
hese  materials  than  do  those  with  five  or  six 
CUTS  of  training. 

The  factors  that  have  been  mentioned  thus  far 

1  ave  been  significantly  related  to  teachers'  at- 

itwdes  toward  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials. 

The  following  background  factors  were  not  sig- 

licantly  related  to  attitude. 

The  amoimt  of  teaching  experience  is  not  a 

ignificant  factor  in  relation  to  the  development 

>f  attitude  toward  audiovisual  materials.  It  is, 

hen,  not  necessarily  those  with  long  years  of 

caching  experience  who  have  poor  attitudes  to- 

vard  the  use  of  the  materials. 

till      One  often  hears  teachers  and  audiovisual  peo- 

^  )le  mention  that  frequent  equipment  failure  in- 

f(,  libits   individuals   from  using  audiovisual   ma- 

erials.  This  feeling  was  not  verified  in  this  study, 

IS  the  comparison  between  frequency  of  equip- 

J)k  nent  breakdown  and  attitude  was  not  significant. 

The  subject  matter  areas  in  which  teachers 

vork  is  often  thought  of  as  being  a  factor  in 

1 1  low  they  feel  about  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 

erials.    The    areas    of    English,    social    studies, 

icience  and  mathematics,  business,  music  and 

oreign    languages    were    differentiated    in    the 

;tudy.    It  was   found    that   the   subject   matter 

irea  in  which  one  teaches  is  not  a  significant 

actor  in  determining  attitude  toward  the  use  of 

ludiovisual  materials. 


m 


caij  The  presence  or  absence  of  a  school  system 
ludiovisual  director  or  a  building  coordinator  in 
school  building  has  no  effect  on  attitude. 
Whether  the  director  was  a  full-time  or  part- 
:ime  director  was  not  significant  as  far  as  the 
levelopment  of  attitude  is  concerned.  It  would 
ippear  that  audiovisual  directors  are  not  func- 
aoning  at  a  level  where  they  are  able  to  affect 
ttitudes  toward  the  use  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials. It  is  interesting  to  contrast  the  effect  of 
the  supervisor  with  that  of  the  audiovisual  di- 
rector in  terms  of  their  influence  on  attitudes. 
One  of  the  most  significant  comparisons  was 
between  the  encouragement  of  audiovisual  usage 
by  supervisors  while  the  least  significant  rela- 
tionship was  between  the  presence  of  an  audio- 
visual director  in  the  school  system  and  attitude. 


There  is  no  relationship  between  teachers'  at- 
titudes toward  audiovisual  materials  and  the 
availability  of  funds  for  audiovisual  materials 
within   the   school   system. 

Teachers  were  asked  to  rate  their  own  me- 
chanical ability.  When  these  ratings  were  com- 
pared with  scores  on  the  attitude  rating  scale 
it  was  found  that  there  was  not  a  significant 
relationship  between  their  ratings  of  mechanical 
ability  and  attitude  toward  audiovisual  mate- 
rials. 

The  results  of  this  study  emphasize  the  im- 
portance of  recognizing  the  place  of  attitude 
in  any  attempt  to  analvze  the  utilization  of 
audiovisual  materials.  The  teachers'  attitudes 
may  be  more  important  in  determining  the  use 
of  audiovisual  materials  than  both  knowledge 
about  materials  and  skill  in  their  use.  The  statis- 
tical technique  and  the  design  of  the  study  it- 
self preclude  determining  the  reasons  why  the 
comparisons  turned  out  as  they  did.  While  we 
can  only  guess  causal  factors  in  the  various  com- 
parisons, the  knowledge  that  certain  factors  are 
significant  while  others  are  not  is  important  to 
individuals  working  in  this  field.

Class  5-5  presents  A  Lesson  In  Brotherhood. 
All  the  actors  are  members  of  class  5-5.  Re- 
member that  all  these  scenes  are  acted  out, 
but  that  they  could  be  real.  We  hope  that 
after  you  watch  these  slides  you  will  never  let 
prejudice  become  a  part  of  your  life. 


The  teacher  asked  the  children  to  bring 
two  eggs.  One  egg  was  brown,  the  oth( 
egg  was  white.  The  eggs  were  shaped  t! 
same,  felt  the  same,  but  were  different  i 
color. 


A  Lesson  in  Brotherhood 
And  Slide  Making 


If  we  look  around  us,  we  see  that  some  chil- 
dren are  dark  haired,  some  are  fair  haired. 
We  all  do  not  want  to  look  exactly  alike. 
Some  children  are  Negro,  some  are  white. 
We  don't  dislike  a  person  simply  because 
they  have  dark  hair.  We  should  not  dislike  a 
person  just  because  they  have  dark  skin. 


Two  boys  decided  to  do  some  research  abou 
Negroes.  They  found  out  that  Negroes  suci 
as  George  Washington  Carver,  Jessie  Owen 
and  Ralph  Bunche  added  a  great  deal  t« 
American  History.  The  future  of  our  country 
depends   on    all    people    working    together

Just  as  there  is  no  difference  between  the

L  HAD  just  finished  showing  my  class  some 
ides  taken  at  Jamestown,  Virginia.  They  react- 

I  very  enthusiastically,  seeing  famous  historical 
tes  and  history  book  backgrounds  portrayed 

II  the  screen  in  vivid  colors.  One  of  the  children 
sked  if  we  could  take  slides  in  class.  This  sug- 

stion  set  off  a  chain  reaction,  and  every  child 

anted  to  see  himself  projecied  on  a  screen. 

We  had  been  discussing  brotherhood  for  the 
ist  few  days.  We  had  discussed  the  fact  that  we 

ork  pretty  well  together  even  though  we  come 
om  different  backgrounds.  The  children  want- 
(1  others  to  profit  from  our  experiences  and  our 
listakes.  Some  of  the  youngsters  wondered  if  we 
ould  combine  slide  making  and  brotherhood, 
I  id  they  all  seized  on  the  idea. 


They  knew  that  each  slide  would  have  to  be  a 
separate  scene,  but  it  was  generally  felt  that 
a  story  was  needed  to  tie  all  the  scenes  together. 
The  children  worked  on  this  for  several  weeks. 
Writing  a  story  is  difficult  enough,  but  writing 
so  that  individual  scenes  can  be  made  is  very 
hard  and  trying.  After  dozens  of  revisions  the 
storv  script  was  finished,  with  each  scene  de- 
scribed on  a  5x8  index  card. 

We  now  had  some  technicalities  of  actual  pro- 
duction to  cope  with.  The  public  library  aided 
in  the  solution  of  several  problems.  Information 
gathered  from  photographic  guides  helped  us  de- 
termine just  what  film  and  flash  bulbs  would 
be  best  suited  to  our  needs.  The  children  also 
learned  quite  a  bit  about  camera  techniques  and 
successful  color  photography.  This  information 
became  very  useful  when  we  were  producing 
our  slide  show. 

The  class  wished  to  purchase  their  own  film. 
They  made  craft  articles  which  they  sold  at  a 
PTA  sale.  Pot  holders  were  made  and  sold  by  the 


ome  of  us  need  help  in  spelling  yet  can  give 
elp  in  arithmetic.  It  Is  a  give  and  take 
iroposition.  It  is  a  great  deal  of  fun  to  work 

Dgether.

The  teacher  asked  two  boys  to  hold  up  their 
lost  spelling  Retest  papers.  Both  papers  were 
100%.  The  color  of  your  skin  has  nothing  to 
do  with  the  way  you  think.

These  dolls  show  us  that  there  are  many  dif- 
ferent races  and  nationalities  in  this  world. 
If  all  these  people  stopped  to  fight  one  an- 
other because  of  different  colored  skin  or 
different  clothes  there  would  never  be  any 
peace  and  we  would  soon  destroy  each 
other. 


dozens.  Some  children  designed  and  made 
ceramic  ash  trays  which  were  very  popular  at  the 
sale.  They  made  enough  items  to  pay  for  the 
film  and  the  flash  bulbs. 

The  camera  equipment  was  mine.  We  used  a 
35mm  camera  with  flash  attachment,  with  the 
children  setting  up  each  scene.  Some  were  ar- 
rived at  rapidly;  others  took  a  long  time  because 
all  the  children  involved  in  production  were  not 
satisfied.  The  children  figured  out  the  proper 
lens  opening  for  each  exposure  by  using  the  data 
supplied  with  the  film  and  flash  bulbs. 

The  culmination  of  each  scene  was  the  bright 
flash  as  one  of  our  cameramen  pushed  the  but- 
ton that  captured  the  picture  for  us.  We  took  pic- 
tures in  the  classroom,  cafeteria,  basement,  art 
room  and  assembly.  After  two  weeks  of  shooting 
we  were  finished.  The  film  was  dispatched  to  a 
commercial  processor  and  we  waited  the  return 
of  our  precious  slides. 


The  children   of  Class  5-5   now   understoc  , 
each  other.  They  discussed   brotherhood     I 
class.  They  had  a  poster  contest  to  celebrc 
brotherhood  week.  All  the  posters  in  this  g 
sembly  were  done  by  the  class.  The  ones  c 
the  screen  were  judged  to  be  the  best. 


The  slides  came.  I  knew  that  until  they  wei 
viewed  nothing  would  be  accomplished  in  oi 
class.  The  visual  aid  teacher  sent  up  a  project( 
and  screen.  We  then  saw  our  slides. 

They  were  perfect  —  not  a  poor  one  amon 
them.  We   arranged   them  in  proper  sequem 
numbered  them,  and  once  more  projected  tin 
We  had  captured,  on  34  slides,  a  program  t 
plaining  what  brotherhood  meant  to  us. 

Our  next  task  was  the  preparation  of  a  fin; 
commentary.  We  projected  each  slide  for  a  thir 
time  and  as  we  carefully  studied  it  on  the  screci 
The  speaking  script  was  written.  We  taped  t' 
script  so  that  the  slide  projector  and  the  t.; 
recorder  could  be  operated  simultaneously. 

We  shared  our  production  with  the  remains 
of  the  school.  Results  were  immediate.  Lettei 
and  comments— the  tangible  rewards  for  our  har  i 
work  poured  into  the  classroom.  We  had  share 
our  experiences  with  the  other  students. 


The  entire  class  agreed  to  be  friends.  They 
shook  hands  on  it.  Everyone  would  join  in 
the  games.  They  would  work  together  to 
make  their  teacher  proud  of  them. 


The  children  seem  happy.  They  work  we 
now  that  they  understand  each  other.  The 
help  each  other  in  their  work.  Each  has  some 
thing  to  offer  to  the  other.

/\  New  Slant  on 
Overhead  Projectors 

By   J.   F.   Hohlfeld 

L  HIS  is  a  plan  for  facilitating  the  use  of  the 
\erhead  and  opaque  projectors  through  inex- 
lensive  modifications  of  their  accessories. 

The  overhead  projector  is  probably  one  of  the 
nost  effective  visual  aids  in  the  classroom  today. 
Ve  never  cease  to  discover  new  apphcations, 
lew  presentations  and  new  developments  for  its 
se  in  meaningful  teaching.  In  my  owti  field  of 
lathematics  there  is  no  other  device  to  compare 
idth  it.  However,  one  difficulty  exists. 

The  machine  operates  on  a  short  focal  dis- 
ance,  with  the  machine  and  the  teacher  usually 
a  front  rather  than  in  the  rear  of  the  classroom. 
Vith  the  machine  on  a  high  stand  as,  in  Figure  1, 
ind  the  teacher  beside  it,  the  students  in  the 
ront  and  center  of  the  room  are  liable  to  have  a 
lew  of  the  screen  as  in  Figure  2. 

Of  course,  if  rearrangement  of  seating  pre- 
ents  no  problem,  as  in  the  case  of  a  small  class, 
t  is  very  easy  to  get  around  this  difficulty.  But 
ome  of  the  projector's  best  applications  are  for 
arge  classes.  Furthermore  few  teachers  like  to 
eseat  their  students  every  time  they  want  to  try 
'.  new  presentation. 

The  first  impulse  in  attacking  this  problem  is 
o  place  the  machine  low  enough  that  all  stu- 
ients  can  see  over  it.  This  either  brings  the  ple- 
ura dovsTi  with  It  or,  if  the  machine  Is  tilted 


upward  (projecting  against  a  vertical  screen), 
it  creates  a  distortion  called  the  'Keystone  effect'. 
In  this  situation  the  bottom  of  the  image  is  much 
smaller  than  the  top,  and  part  of  the  image  will 
be  out  of  focus  regardless  of  adjustment. 

To  correct  this  distortion,  one  needs  simply  to 
place  the  screen  in  a  position  perpendicular  to 
the  projection  beam.  With  a  permanent  screen 
Installation  in  the  room,  this  correction  can  be 
accomplished  by  hanging  the  screen  on  the  ceil- 
ing rather  than  on  the  wall.  It  should  be  hung 
parallel  to  the  wall  at  the  bottom  of  the  screen. 

A  side  view  of  the  classroom  in  use  now  looks 
something  like  Figure  4.  All  students  in  the  class- 
room now  have  an  unobstructed  view  of  the 
screen. 

This  development  has  been  made  entirely  in 
terms  of  the  overhead  projector.  The  improve- 
ment works  just  as  effectively  for  the  opaque 
projector,  using  the  same  screen  and  cart,  and 
set  up  exactly  the  same  way. 


Prior  to  publication  of  this  story.  Educational 
Screen  received  the  following  note  from  Mr.  Hohl- 
feld: 

"I  have  been  told  by  one  of  the  manufacturers 
of  overhead  projectors  that  the  techniques  involving 
the  tilting  stand  and  slanting  screen  have  been  used 
by  them  and  by  their  dealers  in  the  past.  At  the  time 
of  writing  the  article  I  thought  my  idea  was  original. 
While  this  originality  is  now  destroyed,  I  think  the 
worth  of  the  idea  has  been  indicated,  and  I  believe 
the  value  of  the  story  is  thus  possibly  enhanced." 

So  do  we.  And  we  want  to  add  that  Mr.  Hohlfeld 
is  willing  to  forward  more  specific  information  on 
the  cart  and  screen  installation  to  those  who  request 
it  and  enclose  a  stamped  return  envelope.

A  New 
Style  in 
Audiovisual 
Cataloging 


by    Thomas  H.  Boardman 


-i-  HE  lifeblood  of  an  educational  film  librai 
is  its  catalog.  This  is  the  artery  that  reaches  tl 
customer,  keeping  him  informed  of  the  materia 
the  audiovisual  center  has  to  offer.  I  feel  th, 
over  the  years  the  film  catalog  has  had  le 
thought  given  to  its  improvement  than  any  oth( 
phase  of  the  program. 

Traditionally  the  catalog  has  been  an  indexe 
publication  with  notations  as  to  content,  pn 
ducer,  running  time,  etc.  It  has  always  been  n 
expensive  budget  item,  especially  if  extensiv 
distribution  is  planned.  The  very  cost  of  produ( 
tion  raises  many  important  questions:  Can  a 
expensive  catalog  be  sent  to  every  teacher  in  th 
state;  just  one  to  a  building;  just  to  every  princ 
pal,  superintendent  and  audiovisual  director 
Shall  it  be  sent  to  teachers  and  schools  that  dom 
use  our  service?  What  about  out-of-state  distribt 
tion?  Can  we  afford  to  supply  individual 
churches,  civic  groups  or  garden  clubs  who  ma 
rent  not  more  than  one  or  two  films  per  year 

Frequency  of  revision  is  another  factor  to  cor 
sider.  Since  a  film  library  is  changing  constantl 
through  additions  and  deletions,  how  ofte 
should  a  catalog  be  produced?  Is  it  economicall 
wise  to  revise  every  two  years,  and  if  the  interva 
is  longer,  are  supplements  an  efi^ective  method  o 
keeping  the  customer  informed? 

These  questions  must  be  answered.  But  I  an 
afraid  that  too  many  times  they  are  answere( 
not  by  what  would  be  ideal,  but  by  the  cost  o 
production. 

Aside  from  the  expense  and  in  many  cases  it 
sheer  bulk,  the  biggest  failing  of  the  all-inclusivt 
catalog  is  the  fact  that  a  relatively  small  numbei 
of  the  total  items  listed  are  of  interest  to  an; 
given  customer.  This  means  we  are  spendin; 
money  informing  customers  about  materials  in 
which  they  have  no  interest  and  sometimes  maW 
ing  it  difficult  for  them  to  find  the  materials  it 
which  they  are  interested. 

Certainly  if  expense  did  not  have  to  be  con 
sidered,  I  think  it  would  be  agreed  that  the  bes 
catalog  distribution  would  be  a  new  catalog  a 
least  every  two  years  to  every  educator  who  de 
sired  one  and  to  any  group  or  individual  wh( 
might  be  a  customer.  So,  to  better  attain  th( 
optimum  and  yet  keep  the  expense  down,  th( 
Visual  Aids  Service  of  the  University  of  Illinoi 
decided  a  year  ago,  when  it  became  necessary  tc 
re-issue  its  catalog,  to  produce  a  series  of  subjec 
area  catalogs  instead  of  the  usual  large,  genera 
catalog. 

After  deciding  to  produce  subject  area  cata 
logs,  the  next  major  decision  was  to  decide  where 
to  make  the  divisions.  It  was  decided,  on  the 
basis  of  the  nature  of  teaching  at  the  variou! 
levels,  to  produce  a  single  catalog  listing  all  sub 
ject  areas  for  the  elementary  grades  (kindergari 
ten  through  6th  grade)  and  16  individual  sub 
ject  area  catalogs  for  those  films  that  were  ap 
phcable  to  the  junior  and  senior  high  schools 
college  and  adult  groups.  The  Primary  and  In- 
termediate Film  catalog,  largest  of  the  series,  wai 
printed  at  a  cost  of  only  33  cents  per  copy,  anc 
the  cost  of  printing  the  other  subject  area  cata- 
log varied  from  11  to  22  cents  each.  Therefore 
the  cost  of  supplying  all  the  teachers  in  an  ele-

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — March,  1960 


lerc  are  nine  of  the  19  subject  area  catalogs  produced  by  the  Visual  Aids  Service 
>f  the  University  of  Illinois.  Their  tasteful  design  has  been  a  factor  in  the  ready  accept- 
nee  of  this  new  concept  of  AV  cataloging. 


': 


nentary  school  with  the  elementary  catalog  and 
listributing  the  16  subject  area  catalogs  to  all 
eachers  and  groups  engaged  in  teaching  the  in- 
lividual  subjects  would  not  be  prohibitive. 

The  catalog  revisions  will  be  scheduled  on  a 
evolving  basis  with  a  cycle  of  revisions  to  be 
:'ompleted  in  two  years.  This  will  enable  us  to 
ichedule  the  workload  of  both  preparation  and 
printing  more  evenly  for  greater  economy.  The 
avings  realized  from  better  scheduling  will  more 
ban  offset  the  increased  mailing  costs  brought 
ibout  by  separate  mailings  of  the  subject  area 
catalogs. 

I  see  no  reason  why  subject  area  cataloging 
sn't  applicable  to  the  coimty  or  city  audiovisual 
:enter  as  well  as  to  the  large  rental  library.  Our 
Tiain  concern  is  to  have  teachers  use  the  ma- 
;erials  and,  of  course,  use  them  intelligently 
( which  is  another  problem ) .  It  seems  reasonable 
to  assume  that  the  easier  we  make  it  for  a  teacher 
to  know  what  is  available  in  her  subject  area,  the 


more  materials  she  will  use  in  her  classrooms. 

Since  we  have  had  no  guide  to  follow  in  this 
new  venture,  we  of  course  have  made  many  mis- 
takes that  we  will  be  able  to  correct  in  our  first 
revision.  However,  in  spite  of  our  mistakes,  we 
have  received  many  complimentary  letters  and 
comments  about  our  new  method— in  fact,  more 
than  enough  to  convince  us  that  this  type  of  cata- 
loging is  appreciated  by  the  teachers  because  of 
its  increased  usefulness. 

We  have  noticed  that  shortly  following  the 
mailing  of  a  new  subject  area  catalog  there  has 
been  a  marked  increase  in  the  requests  for  films 
within  that  area— so  much  so  that  we  now  spend 
a  much  greater  part  of  our  yearly  budget  for  ad- 
ditional prints  to  meet  the  increased  demand. 
This  is  the  most  conclusive  proof  that  our  deci- 
sion to  abandon  the  large  all-inclusive  catalog  in 
favor  of  less  expensive  subject  area  catalogs 
which  could  be  given  wider  distribution  was  a 
wise  one.

FILM  EVALUATIONS 


by  L.  C.  Larson  and  Carolyn  Guss 


Reading  Music:  Learning 
About  Notes 

(Coronet  Instructional  Films,  Coronet 
Building,  Chicago  1,  Illinois)  11  min- 
utes, 16  mm,  sound,  color  or  black 
and  white,  1959.  $110  or  $60.  Teach- 
er guide  available. 

Description 

Through  teacher  demonstration  and 
children's  participation,  Reading  Mu- 
sic: Learning  About  Notes  introduces 
symbols  of  musical  notation  and  how 
they  are  translated  into  meaningful 
patterns  of  sound  through  melody  and 
rhythm. 

The  film  opens  with  Sarah  and  Bob 
introducing  themselves  and  armounc- 
ing  that  they  are  going  to  learn  a  new 
song,  "The  Humming  Frog,"  from 
Mrs.  Edwards. 

After  a  few  preliminary  remarks, 
Mrs.  Edwards  asks  everybody  to  imag- 
ine a  drummer  beating  his  drum 
since  the  song  to  be  learned  is  a  song 
to  which  one  can  march.  As  she  says 
this,  the  picture  cuts  to  a  drummer 
marching  to  the  beating  of  his  dnmi 
and  then  back  to  Sarah  and  Bob 
beating  time  with  their  hands  while 
the  teacher  sings. 

Having  thus  introduced  the  song, 
Mrs.  Edwards  invites  the  viewers  to 
look  at  it.  A  close-up  of  the  music 
shows  that  some  notes  look  ahke  and 
when  she  sings  them  they  sound  ahke. 
Also  a  close-up  of  the  piano  shows 
how  notes  go  up  and  down  or  stay 
the  same.  The  teacher  explains  that 
when  notes  move  from  one  line  to 
the  space  next  to  it  and  then  to  the 
line  next  to  the  space  the  notes  move 
in  step.  Through  illustrations,  putting 
to  good  use  a  series  of  close-ups,  she 
explains  step  up,  step  down,  skip, 
and  same  note  progression. 

Again  Sarah  and  Bob  beat  the 
rhythm  while  Mrs.  Edwards  plays  the 
first  two  measures  of  the  song.  She 
calls  attention  to  the  fact  that  each 
note  takes  one  beat.  Going  through 
the  song,  the  children  find  that  some- 
times a  note  gets  more  than  one  beat 
and  at  other  times  gets  less  than  one 
beat.  The  teacher  explains  this  by  us- 


ing aural  and  visual  illustrations. 

In  closing  Mrs.  Edwards  asks  view- 
ers to  join  them  as  they  sing  The 
Humming  Frog. 

Appraisal 

The  film  should  find  greatest  use 
in  grades  three  through  five  as  an 
introduction  to  the  characteristics  of 
notes  and  in  grade  six  as  a  review 
of  certain  fundamentals  in  music.  With 
proper  orientation  it  could  even  be 
used  in  junior  high.  The  ages  of 
Sarah  and  Bob  may  presuppose  the 
viewers  to  be  of  primary  and  inter- 
mediate levels.  To  some  evaluators, 
however,  the  httle  girl  is  a  little  too 
young  for  the  film's  content. 

The  technique  of  introducing  music 
fundamentals  and  analysis  of  its  struc- 
ture from  both  the  visual  and  auditory 
standpoints  is  very  effective  as  is 
the  use  of  a  series  of  close-ups  of 
the  music  and  the  piano  to  illustrate 
the  characteristics  of  notes.  Thus,  ele- 
mentary education  students  and  teach- 
ers could  very  well  profit  from  this 
film,  too.

A  Way  of  Life 

(Missouri  Conservation  Commission, 
Jefferson  City,  Missouri)  27  minutes, 
16mm,  sound,  color,  no  date.  $170. 


Description 

A  Way  of  Life  shows  the  constant 
drama  of  life  in  the  wild— a  drama  in- 
volving prey  and  predator,  including 
man.  None  of  the  actors  is  a  villain 
because  each  portravs  his  own  way  of 
life. 

The  film  opens  by  showing  that 
primitive  and  pioneer  man  were  pred- 
ators of  wild  life  by  necessity  while, 
in  contrast,  modem  man  raises  his 
own  prey  in  the  form  of  domesticated 
animals.  It  points  out  that  man  has 
hunted  for  sport  for  many  years  and 
gives  as  examples  medieval  falconry 
and  modern  hunting  with  weapons 
and  man's  skill  and  wariness. 


Although  man,  one  of  the  chi 
predators,  is  free  from  predation,  i 
wild  animals  must  struggle  to  e 
and  avoid  being  eaten.  The  predate 
survive  by  being  expert  at  capturir 
their  prey;  for  example,  the  weas 
uses  his  quickness  and  keen  sense 
smell  to  capture  a  field  mouse  an 
the  slow  box  turtie  catches  the  slowt 
earthworm. 

The  film  continues  by  showing  th; 
man  tends  to  resent  the  more  efficia 
predators  but  some  species  that  1: 
values  highly,  such  as  song  birds,  ai> 
predators  too.  The  antics  of  a  bin 
capturing  and  eating  an  earthwon 
appear  funny  but  it  is  a  most  serioi 
business  of  survival. 

Sports  fishing  is  really  predatio 
modified  to  produce  sport  and  recres 
tion.  The  film  shows  that  the  gras: 
hopper  is  a  natural  prey  for  fish  bi 
man,  the  predator,  uses  grasshoppe 
lures  to  catch  bass.  The  sportsma 
values  the  quail  highly  and  the  skun 
less;  the  film  pictures  a  skunk  eatin 
quail  eggs  but  points  out  that  th 
quail  will  replace  the  lost  eggs  late 
in  the  season  when  there  is  a  bettc 
chance  of  survival  for  the  young. 

The  film  then  gives  the  qualifies 
tions  of  a  good  prey,  such  as  intej 
ligence,  wariness  and  speed.  It  show 
a  fox  capturing  a  rabbit  and  has 
catching  bluegills  as  the  narrator  tell 
that  the  surplus  population  goes  t 
the  predators. 

All  animals  must  eat  to  live.  Somi 
animals,  such  as  caterpillars  and  mice 
are  destructive  while  others  help  t 
keep  the  harmful  predators  in  check 
A  hawk,  man's  aerial  defense  agains 
small  rodents  is  shown  capturing 
mouse  and  a  red  winged  blackbirc 
eating  harmful  insects  is  observed.  I 
is  also  seen  that  there  is  predatioi 
among  the  smaller  animals;  for  ex 
ample,  one  insect  may  feed  upon  an 
other. 

The  film  shows  that  each  anima 
has  its  own  protection— the  pocke 
gopher  burrows  underground,  t  h  i 
weasel  is  quick  and  has  a  keen  sensi 
of  smell,  the  kildeer  uses  ruse  anc 
camouflage.  A  blue  jay  is  observec 
warning  the  animals  that  a  Cooper' 
Hawk    threatens.    A    mother    kildee

Domesticated  animals  such  as  the 

licken  have  lost  their  means  for  pro- 

ction  and  fall  prey  to  the  so-called 

'cstructive  varmints."  However  they 

e  only  part  time  varmints  because 

any  of  these  predators  prey   upon 

imals  which  cause  great  economic 

^.  Owls,  for  example,  are  man's  best 

tense   against   rodents. 

The  film  continues  by  relating  that 

idators    are    responsible    for    those 

Kilities  in   game  which   the  sports- 

dii  admires:  namely,  speed  and  alert- 

ss.  A  dramatic   chase  of  a   coyote 

ter  a  rabbit  is  shown.  The  alert  rab- 

t  uses  speed  and  dodging  to  escape 

id  the  coyote  must  seek  a  weaker, 

^s  cunning  prey. 

Man's  hunting  is  pictured  as  a  form 
super-predation    as    he    trains   his 
ledators    (dogs)    to    find    the    prey 
It  reserves  the  right  to  kill  for  him- 
If.  The  narrator  states  that  man  may 
uinge  the  environment  but  he  some- 
n's destroys  rather  than  improves. 
\  Way  of  Life  concludes  with  the 
latement  that  we  must  control  preda- 
on,   not   condemn   it,   because   it  is 
essential  instrument  in  a  way  of 


fippraisal 

A  Way  of  Life  is  a  fascinating  true- 
Fe  drama  of  survival,  of  eat  and  be 
iten,  of  prey  and  predator,  and  of 
lan,  with  his  weapons  and  intelli- 
ence,  the  super-predator  tracking 
own  his  prey  and  controlling  the 
nvironment  for  better  or  worse.  With 
:s  on-the-spot  coverage  of  some  of 
tie  struggles  for  existence,  the  film 
ssumes  an  authoritative  and  realistic 
lemeanor-it  actually  shows  the  ex- 
Jiting  chase  of  coyote  after  rabbit 
nd  the  capturing  of  a  mouse  by  a 
awk.  By  the  latter  example  and 
thers,  it  helps  to  dispel  hasty  gen- 
ralizations  adopted  by  man  concem- 
ig  the  degree  of  notoriety  associated 
dth  certain  animals. 

"This    fihn    will    be    useful    on    the 
inior  high,  senior  high,  and  college 

Isvels  in  units  concerned  with  the 
palance  in  nature,  the  struggle  for 
urvival,  the  interdependence  of  liv- 
ng  things  and  conservation.  It  may 
Iso  promote  discussion  concerning 
he  influence  of  man  on  various  plant

ome  use  on  the  intermediate  level

interest  for  this  group  throughout  its

and  Cylinders

University  Avenue,  St.  Paul  4,  Min- 
nesota) 18  minutes,  16mm,  sound, 
color  or  black  and  white,  1959.  $150 
or  $75.  Teacher's  guide  available. 

Description 

Using  familiar  buildings  and  objects 
as  examples  of  solid  geometric  forms. 
Volumes  of  Cubes,  Prisms  and  Cylin- 
ders employs  graphic  designs  of  these 
forms  to  illustrate  the  calculation  of 
their  volume  through  development  of 
the  generalization  V=Bh. 

As  the  cargo  from  an  airplane  is 
unloaded  by  conveyor  belt,  the  shapes 
of  the  various  boxes  and  containers 
are  identified-cube,  rectangular  prism, 
and  cylinder.  More  examples  of  these 
same  forms  are  given  in  the  sugar 
cube,  buildings  and  a  drinking  glass. 
The  terms  to  be  used  in  the  film- 
cubic  inch,  cubic  foot  and  cubic  yard 
—are  discussed  before  presenting  a 
formal  definition  of  a  geometric  solid. 
In  determining  how  to  calculate 
the  number  of  cubic  inches  in  a 
rectangular  prism,  the  formula  V=lwh 
is  developed.  This  formula  is  used 
with  different  kinds  of  prisms  in  com- 
puting volume  until  it  is  found  that 
the  base  of  a  prism  times  the  height 
will  give  the  volume  of  any  prism. 
V=Bh  is  then  applied  to  a  parallelo- 
gram and  a  cylinder  to  calculate  their 
volume. 

Appraisal 

Upper  elementary  and  junior  high 
mathematics  teachers  will  find  this 
production  a  welcome  one  in  teach- 
ing concepts  of  volume.  First  of  a 
series  of  three  films.  Volumes  of 
Cubes,  Prisms  and  Cylinders  builds  up 
the  concepts,  proceeds  to  the  defini- 
tions or  formulas,  and  then  returns  to 
the  application  from  which  the  con- 
cepts were  built.  The  distinction  be- 
tween the  definition  of  an  area  and 
the  formula  used  to  find  the  area  is 
an  appreciated  effort.  The  commit- 
tee feels  that  this  film  makes  a  valu- 
able contribution  toward  teaching  the 
volumes  of  solids.  It  takes  a  well-plan- 
ned film  to  present  an  academic  mes- 
sage like  this  successfully.

may     be     used     from     kindergart 
through    grade   six,    and   the    vari

A  good  series  to  have  to  meet  t 
needs   of   the    different   grade   lev( 
indicated. 


A  few  years  ago  a  student  teacher, 
about  to  go  out  on  his  first  teaching 
assigrmient,  asked,  "How  long  should 
I  talk  to  each  frame  of  a  filmstrip?" 
The  other  week  a  veteran  teacher  with 
years  of  experience  asked  the  same 
question,  and  it  set  us  to  thinking. 

By  whatever  means  we  have  and  at 
all  costs  we  must  get  across  to  class- 
room teachers  the  fact  that  filmstrips, 
with  other  types  of  materials,  are  in- 
tended to  provide  for  many  types  of 
classroom  experiences.  We  should  be- 
ware of  setting  up  such  hard  and  fast 
patterns  that  we  forget  the  thrill  and 
value  of  launching  out  on  a  new  way 
of  explaining  matters  to  boys  and  girls. 
It  is  for  this  reason  that  we  have  al- 
ways rather  deplored  the  necessity  of 
indicating  grade  levels  in  catalog  de- 
scriptions of  materials.  Sometimes  a 
filmstrip  labeled  as  intended  for  4th 
grade  can  be  mighty  useful  with  an 
older  class— particularly  when  there  is 
all  too  apparent  indication  that  the 
older  ones  were  not  too  well  prepared 
when  they  were  introduced  to  a  sub- 
ject. 

We  feel  hke  adopting  the  warning 
given  in  a  well-known  poem-story: 
"Grade-level  labels  will  get  you  if  y.u 
don't  watch  out,  so  ignore  them  once 
in  a  while!"  Don't  talk  to  a  filmstrip; 
let  its  picture  content  talk  to  you  and 
your  class,  then  you  can  turn  your  dis- 
cussion to  related  implications  rather 
than  to  mere  picayune  dissections  of 
what  you  have  seen  on  the  screen.  Use 
your  filmstrips  to  provide  a  quick  re- 
view of  material  learned  in  other 
classes  and  then  move  along  into  new 
fields  where  this  material  is  applied  in 
more  advanced  situations.  Be  flexible 
and  don't  be  afraid  to  say  to  your  pu- 
pils, "these  pictures  do  not  give  the 
whole  story;  let's  try  another  filmstrip 
and  see  if  we  can  find  an  answer  to 
our  question." 

Central  Europe  (6  strips,  color;  pro- 
duced by  Encyclopaedia  Britannica 
Films,  1150  Wilmette  Ave.,  Wilmette, 
111.;  $36  per  set,  $6  each  strip.)  So 
much  that  has  happened  in  the  course 
of  world  events  involves  understanding 
the  peoples  and  countries  of  Central 
Europe.  With  the  help  of  these  pic- 
ture sequences  we  look  in  on  life  in 
West  Germany,  the  Netherlands,  the 


mountains  and  valleys  of  Switzerland, 
Belgium  and  the  Rhine  Valley.  In 
each  instance  people  are  related  to  the 
work  and  resources  of  the  areas.  This 
provides  a  broad  basis  for  social  geog- 
raphy and  should  stimulate  recourse 
to  considerable  map  and  current  mag- 
azine and  newspaper  study.  Filmstrips 
of  this  type  should  be  used  in  connec- 
tion with  collections  of  study  mate- 
rials, reports  on  readings  and  the 
watching  of  television  programs  deal- 
ing with  world  events.  There  is  a 
wealth  of  background  information, 
and  they  are  good  for  study  interests 
of  the  middle  and  upper  grades. 

Elementary  Science  Series,  Set  No. 
7  (6  strips,  color;  produced  by  Young 
America-McGraw  Hill  Co.,  330  West 
42  St.,  New  York  36,  N.Y.;  $32.50  per 
set,  $6  each  strip.)  Any  teacher  who 
works  with  today's  young  scientists 
needs  to  be  well  supplied  with  mate- 
rials to  explain  the  facts  illustrated  in 
this  series.  We  go  from  the  contribu- 
tion of  prehistoric  animals  and  the 
nature  of  stars  to  what  creates  pitch 
and  sound,  how  our  bodies  are  con- 
structed to  fight  disease,  and  the  na- 
ture of  atoms  and  molecules.  The  se- 
quences of  this  set  are  intended  to 
help  clarify  concepts  and  prepare  the 
way  for  detailed  study  of  scientific 
data.  These  strips  could  be  used  at 
any  point  in  text  study  and  are  closely 
related  with  the  science  units  as  now 
included  in  the  elementary  science 
curriculum. 

Magnets  (6  strips,  color;  produced 
by  Jam  Handy  Organization,  2821  E. 
Grand  Blvd.,  Detroit  11,  Michigan; 
$31.50  per  set,  $5.75  each  strip.)  No 
one  can  be  exposed  long  to  a  study  of 
science  without  coming  upon  a  fact 
related  to  the  use  of  magnets  or  the  re- 
lation of  magnetic  force  to  scientific 
processes.  This  series  goes  with  con- 
iderable  detail  into  the  nature  of  mag- 
nets, how  they  are  used  and  why  they 
act  as  they  do.  The  strip  dealing  with 
the  relation  of  magnetism  to  molecular 
and  electron  theories  is  particularly 
good  and  will  be  found  helpful  for  sci- 
ence work  and  also  for  social  studies 
and  world  geography.  Diagrams  indi- 
cating how  magnets  work  are  also  well 
presented    and    will   be   found    very 


Masters  of  Modern  Art— Pierre  A 
giiste  Renoir  (single  strip,  color;  pi 
duced   by   Life   Filmstrips,   9  Rock 
feUer  Plaza,  New  York  20,  N.  Y.;  s 
with  manual.)   Not  even  modem 
ships  could  take  us  to  all  the  plac 
where  the  works  of  an  artist  are  to  1 
found,  and  the  student  is  often  at 
loss  to  see  certain  masterpieces  th 
are  scattered  in  various  museums  ai 
collections.  That  of  course  is  one 
the  strong  points  in  favor  of  a  filr 
strip  such  as  this,  for  it  brings  togeth 
in  one  sequence  50  examples  of  Rl 
noir's    greatest    work.    Personally   v 
like  it  when  full  advantage  is  taken  i 
the  filmstrip  frame  to  show  a  paintir 
and  we  prefer  a  minimum  of  captic 
with   such   material,   for  the  manu 
gives  quite  ample  notes.  This  is  a  vi 
ual  field  trip  to  see  an  art  collectio 
and  the  viewer  should  have  full  oi 
portunity  to  observe  and   study  pit 
tures,  for  the  selection  is  good.  Thej 
are  no   grade  restrictions  for  such 
filmstrip,   and   it  should   be  used  i 
reference    background   whenever   th 
artist   or   his  contribution  to  our  a. 
heritage  is  considered.

paper  should  be  well  written,  bot 
from  the  point  of  view  of  the  value  c

ity  of  writing.  Young  joumahsts  ca 
benefit  from  the  subject  matter  ot  chi 
series,  which  offers  help  in  leamini 
how  to  write  lead  articles,  gather  new 
items,  plan  and  write  news  stories  an* 
reporters'  accounts  of  events.  Pupil 
are  always  interested  in  the  activitie 
of  the  school  news  staff,  and  the 
should  be  helped  to  make  their  actiw 
ties  fruitful.  It  is  intended  for  junio' 
and  senior  high  school,  and  will  b* 
found  good  for  use  in  the  classroon 
and  for  showing  at  news  staff  meet

ital  to  school  work  and  for  personal 

,ilue.  The  various  strips  of  this  series 

lie  so  planned  that  there  is  material 

meet  all  the  facets  of  building  read- 

^  skill.  One  set  pertains  to  learning 

low    to    use    books    efficiently,    one 

li  als  with  learning  to  use  the  diction- 

ir>-  and  other  sets  show  how  to  build 

ip  reading  understanding  and  how  to 

\ ork  with  vowels  and  consonants.  The 

.\ibject  content  can  be  adapted  to  both 

^roup  and  individual  pupils  needs  and 

t  is  a  good  series  to  have  for  all  units 

if  the  reading  program. 

The  UN  Way  to  Freedom  (single 
-trip,  color,  with  two  reading  scripts; 

)n)duced  by  National  Council  of  the 
;  hurches  of  Christ,  in  the  U.S.A.,  475 
Kiverside  Drive,  New  York  27,  N.Y.) 
In    light    of    many    recent    happen- 

iigs  it  would  seem  that  there  is  a 
_;reat    need    to   consider    the    subject 

natter    of    this    strip.    Pictorial    se- 

inences  are  provided  to  channel  our 
thinking  to  the  right  of  all  people  to 
li\e  in  dignity  and  without  harm  from 
;ut'judice.  There  are  no  captions  on 
I  lie  pictures.  One  reading  script  is  in- 

■  iided  for  use  with  club  and  other  lay 

ups    whereas    the    other    script   is 

'  pared  for  United  Chiurch  Women 

ind    church    groups.    Personally    we 

would  not  relegate  the  strip  to  these 

t;n)ups  alone;  we  think  the  material  of 

I  he  strip  has  value  for  classroom  use 

:  I  schools.  The  filmstrip  calls  our  at- 

tion  to  the  refugee  group  and  their 

ds  and  to  the  problems  of  provid- 

-  for  the  daily  rights  of  peoples  all 

i\  er  the  world.  The  photographs  are 
clear  and  the  entire  subject  matter 
very  timely.  If  the  UN  is  to  survive, 
tlie  pupils  in  our  schools  need  to  un- 
derstand the  role  of  the  UN  in  all 
phases  of  world  living.  This  strip  helps 
in  this  respect  and  is  good  material.

^eries,  $7  for  each  unit).  This  series 
t.ikes  us  from  the  landing  of  Columbus 
lo  the  period  of  the  war  between  the 
elates.  It  includes  sections  on  the 
trials  of  the  early  settlers,  the  French

A  university  has  done  it  again! 
And  perhaps  their  accomplishment 
will  be  a  challenge  to  other  institu- 
tions of  higher  learning. 

Voices  of  the  American  Revolution 
is  one  of  those  rare  superb  re- 
cordings about  which  you  want  to 
"shout  from  the  rooftops,"  urging  your 
friends  to  "buy  now"  before  it  is  too 
late.  The  recording  can  be  ordered 
from  the  Clements  Library,  The  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  Ann  Arbor,  and 
is  worthy  of  your  immediate  action. 

Voices  of  the  American  Revolution 
is  a  dispassionate  study  of  the 
reactions  of  men  to  command  and 
war.  It  is  at  once  both  an  American 
document  and  a  document  of  human- 
ity. The  thread  of  continuity  is  sup- 
plied by  Dr.  Howard  H.  Peckham, 
director  of  the  library.  He  speaks  a 
simple  series  of  notes  which  link  ex- 
cerpts from  diaries  and  letters,  reports 
and  publications  which  mirror  the  po- 
litical, military  and  personal  trials  of 
famous  men  of  the  period. 

Through  these  papers  and  official 
documents,  American  and  British 
soldiers  and  statesmen  relate  their  re- 
actions to  the  events  of  the  war  years 
and  the  Treaty  of  Paris.  The  time  cov- 
ered is  from  Lexington  and  Concord 
to  the  negotiations  for  recognition  as 
an  independent  nation.  In  the  former, 
appropriate  voices  read  from  the  avail- 
able diary  material  of  the  day,  and  in 
the  latter  we  are  treated  to  a  reading 
from  Benjamin  Franklin's  statements 
concerning  the  British  attitude  even  as 
late  as  1783. 

A  word  about  the  Clements  library 
is  in  order.  According  to  the  American 
Library  Directory  it  is  considered  a 
"special"  library.  The  material  on  the 
recording  has  been  chosen  from 
among  the  more  than  200,000  manu- 
scripts in  the  library  collection  which 
deals  with  such  subjects  as  the  dis- 
covery and  exploration  of  America, 
colonization  and  the  colonial  wars, 
westward  migration,  the  War  of  1812 
and  so  forth.  Among  the  famous  per- 
sons whose  papers  have  been  collect- 
ed by  the  library  are  Columbus, 
Franklin,  Washington,  Paine,  Lincoln 
and  Theodore  Roosevelt. 

Obviously  the  hbrary  is  equipped 
to  do  the  job  they  have  done  in 
Voices  of  the  American  Revolu- 
tion not  only  by  virtue  of  the  collec- 


tion they  boast  but  also  through  Dr. 
Peckham 's  particular  ability  to  select 
significant  items  and  to  prepare  and 
deliver  appropriate  commentary.  It  is 
hoped  that  this  recording  will  be  the 
first  of  a  long  series  in  this  area  to  be 
conceived  and  prepared  by  Dr.  Peck- 
ham and  produced  by  the  University 
of  Michigan  radio  service. 

We  have  had  the  pleasure  of  ob- 
serving many  people  as  they  listened 
to  this  recording.  The  auditors  were 
students  and  teachers,  representatives 
of  a  variety  of  grades  and  of  profes- 
sional interests  in  education.  Many  im- 
mediately expressed  a  desire  to  'hear 
it  again'  and  some  asked  to  borrow  the 
recording  so  that  it  could  be  intro- 
duced to  members  of  the  family.  More 
than  one  took  immediate  notes  and 
expressed  the  intent  to  "buy  it  for  my- 
self" or  to  "buy  it  for  the  children" 
and  even,  in  one  instance,  to  "buy  it 
for  my  grandchildren"  so  that  they 
could  hear  it  when  they  grow  up.  It 
has  universal  appeal  and  each  age 
group  seemed  to  get  different  but  real 
values  from  the  listening  experience. 
It  can  be  used  in  instruction  in  junior 
and  senior  high  schools  and  may  be 
used  for  assigned  listening  by  older 
students  or  by  capable  elementary 
school  students. 

Three  new  titles  are  offered  by  Ot- 
tenheimer:  Publishers  on  their  Cabot 
label.  These  are  Let's  Put  On  A  Play, 
An  Introduction  to  the  Ballet  and 
Let's  Look  at  Great  Paintings. 

Let's  Look  at  Great  Paintings  is 
different  insofar  as  it  is  an  effort— a 
successful  effort— to  give  audio  scope 
to  a  fundamentally  visual  area.  On  the 
single  10-inch  33.3  rpm  record,  eight 


pictures  are  discussed.  These  are  "The 
Adoration  of  the  Magi"  (Fra  Angelico 
and  Fra  Filippo  Lippi),  "Mona  Lisa" 
(Leonardo  da  Vinci),  "The  Knight's 
Dream"  (Raphael),  "Hunters  in  the 
Snow"  ( Breugel ) ,  "The  Angel  and  the 
Prophet  Balaam"  (Rembrandt),  "Of- 
ficer of  the  Chasseur  of  the  Guard" 
(Gericault),  "Road  With  Cypresses" 
(VanGogh)  and  "Three  Musicians" 
(Picasso).  In  addition  the  recording 
includes  both  an  introduction  which 
states  the  purpose  of  the  recording 
and  emphasizes  that  each  painting 
summarized  is  taken  from  a  particular 
school  of  art,  and  is  part  of  a  quiz 
designed  to  test  learning  and  to  moti- 
vate further  study. 

Let's  Look  at  Great  Paintings  (Ot- 
tenheimer  CAB  4024;  4805  Nelson 
Ave.,  Baltimore  15,  Maryland)  has 
both  school  and  home  study  implica- 
tions. It  is  intended  for  younger  chil- 
dren and  the  commentary  is  the  work 
of  Dora  Jane  Janson  who  co-authored 
Story  of  Painting  for  Young  People. 
The  complete  album  includes  not  only 
the  recording  but  also  color  reproduc- 
tions of  the  eight  paintings  discussed 
and  a  booklet  with  many  other  illus- 
trations and  visual  material  for  use 
with  the  recorded  quiz. 


This  unusual  recording  has  two  dis- 
tinct classroom  applications.  It  can, 
of  course,  be  used  in  the  middle  and 
upper  elementary  grades  for  art  ap- 
preciation instruction  and  as  a  device 
for  motivating  further  art  study.  It  can 
also  be  used  in  teacher  training  insti- 
tutions as  a  device  for  indicating  suit- 
able means  for  instructing  elementary 
children.  In  short,  here  is  both  a  teach- 
ing material  for  elementary  schools 
and  a  'model  lesson'  for  teacher  train- 
ing use. 

An  Introduction  to  Ballet  (Otten- 
heimer  CAB  4025),  written  and  nar- 
rated by  Katharine  Sergava,  has  many 
parallel  characteristics.  It  can  be  used 
effectively  at  home,  with  selected 
students  in  school  and  in  teacher  train- 
ing in  the  physical  education  and 
dance  areas.  The  well-illustrated  book-

let  accompanying  the  two  records  in- 
I  hides  a  simple  statement  in  answer 
lo  the  question  "What  is  Ballet"  in 
w  hich  Mme.  Sergava  states  that  ballet 
IS  an  advanced  form  of  games  children 
[ilay  with  their  friends  and  of  the 
li't'lings  we  all  express  in  a  variety  of 
ways.  The  booklet  also  contains  a  his- 
tory of  ballet  and  illustrations  of  the 
five  basic  positions  of  ballet.  The  re- 
siding can  be  used  effectively  as  sug- 
sted  in  elementary  classrooms  as  a 
;  irt  of  health  and  physical  education 
instruction  and  may  be  used,  too,  in 
development  of  attitudes  of  apprecia- 
tion of  the  ballet. 

Elementary  school  students  may  en- 
ioy  hearing  and  then  reacting  to  Let's 
Put  on  a  Flay  (Ottenheimer  CAB 
1026)  which  is  essentially  a  play-act- 
!ig  course  for  children  written  by  Ly- 
ilia  Caplan.  The  recording  consists 
)l  four  skits  acted  by  professional 
children.  These  include  "Mother 
<  Roof's  Nursery  School,"  "Have  Gum- 
Will  Travel,"  "At  the  Railroad  Sta- 
tion" and  "Indian  Talk."  These  are 
( ompletely  preformed  and  it  is  antici- 
pated that  listening  children  will  get 
lit'lpful  hints  on  acting.  There  are 
iKree  skits,  "The  Visitors,"  "The  'Wil- 
low-Ware' Story"  and  "The  Stranger," 
ill  which  parts  are  deliberately  omitted

Upcoming  in  the  record  field  are  a 
number  of  new  language  records. 
RCA  Victor  plans  to  release  some  rec- 
ords next  month,  and  we  hope  to  have 
more  information  for  you  soon.  In  the 
language  field  we  are  looking  forward 
to  seeing  and  hearing  some  new  Ot- 
tenheimer  releases,  too.  Their  new 
titles  will  include  Gateway  to  Spanish, 
Gateway  to  French  and  Gateway  to 
Russian. 


The  Ottenheimer  records  will  be 
edited  by  Dr.  Frederick  Eddy  of  the 
School  of  Languages  and  Linguistics, 
Foreign  Service  Institute,  George- 
town University.  This  is  not  Dr.  Ed- 
dy's first  venture  into  editing  phono- 
graph records— he  also  edited  the 
earlier  H-R-S  Language  Courses  for 
Children  also  published  by  Otten- 
heimer. 

Folkways  Records  (117  West  46th 


Street,  New  York  36)  is  offering  a  set 
of   seven    12-inch   33.3   rjjm    record; 
prepared  by  Morris  L.  Schreiber  titled 
College     Entrance     Exams     EngUih 
(Folkways  FI  9108).  This  is  reported 
as  being  a  comprehensive  course  in 
English  including  Vocabulary  Build- 
ing and  Word  Analysis,  Narrative  and 
Descriptive  Writing,  Word   Relation 
ships,  How  To  Write  an  Effective  Es- 
say and  Techniques  in  Reading  Com- 
prehension. The  record  is  reported!) 
designed  for  high  school  seniors  and 
juniors  as  an  intensive  review  for  col 
lege  entrance  examinations  as  well  a^ 
for  adults  who  wish  to  improve  thci     ' 
cultural  background  and  knowledge  ■ 
the  language.   The  publisher  furtlii 
suggests  that  teachers  use  the  recori 
ings  in  class  to  vitalize  classroom  ii 
struction  and  that  supervisors  of  Emu 
lish   use   the   recordings   for  teacher-  j 
training.  ' 


Since  the  use  of  the  language  is  a 
spoken  and  aural  art  primarily  there 
is  no  more  appropriate  educational 
use  of  recordings  than  instructions  ini 
the  proper  use  of  words.  We  have 
brush  and  oils  in  art,  acids  and  test 
tubes  in  chemistry;  recordings  in  the 
English  classroom  are  a  fitting  adjunct, 
to  say  the  least.

AV 

In  the  Church  Field 


by  WiUiam  S.  Hockman 


Getting  Feed  Back 

Too  much  church-talk  is   one-way 

nmunication.  Being  of  that  variety, 

re  is  some  question  about  its  being 

;iimunication  at  all.  Yet  the  church 

-ioes  right  on! 

Or  is  it?  In  my  Wednesday  morning 
Bible  class  I  am  trying  to  get  feed- 
li.ick  from  the  group  and  am  having 
riiiisiderable  success.  The  best  I  have 
li.id  was  when  I  used  one  of  the  Meth- 
.(list  TV  Talk  Back  films  to  point  up 
.1  problem.  Many  adult  Bible  classes 
acioss  the  country  could  do  likewise 
now  and  then  on  Sunday  morning  as 
I  substitu*:e  tor  the  endless  droning  of 
M)me  one-way  communicator. 

Recently  I  previewed  The  Secret 
^iiilt).  The  Little  Ball  Bounces  (life's 
ocaks,  good  and  bad),  and  And 
( .wendolin.  Too.  In  the  last  a  mother 
identifies  her  compulsive  thinking 
ihout  her  handicapped  child  as  ths 
will  of  God.  This  one  will  set  any 
Uioup  of  adults  buzzing  and  kick  up 
quite  a  bit  of  opinion-swapping  even 
by  youth  (if  they  have  good  leader- 
ship). 

The  first  can  be  used  to  get  into 
feelings  of  guilt  and  what  to  do  about 
it,  but  the  leader  will  need  to  focus 
the  film  on  this  problem  at  the  start. 
Little  Ball,  more  amusing  than  the 
others,  does  probe  gently  the  why-did- 
this-happen-to-me  question,  and  a 
competent  leader  can  certainly  take  it 
from  there.  At  $4.00  rental  from  your 
dealer;  or  the  Methodist  Pub.  House, 
Nashville  3,  they  are  bargains  as  dis- 
cussion starters— what  they  are  intend- 
ed to  be. 


Light  on  The  South 

When  I  showed  the  29-minute  color 
film  Face  of  the  South  to  a  class  of 
graduate  students  I  heard  responses 
like  this:  "Worth  a  whole  graduate 
course  in  economics  to  me."  "Just  the 
thing  for  the  men  of  my  church.  This 
will  show  and  tell  them  what  the 
South  really  is."  "Did  you  ever  see 
such  a  natural  actor  as  that  man  Mit- 


chell?" ( .  .  .  who  narrates  the  film,  and 
who,  with  his  maps,  charts,  graphs 
and  snatches  of  live  photography,  is 
the  fikn).  And,  "I  have  heard  the 
South  and  its  problems  discussed  often 
and  at  great  length  but  this  film 
brought  me  more  understanding  in  29 
minutes  than  all  I  have  heard  up  to 
now." 

Now  I  know  it  takes  a  good  film  to 
be  that  good.  This  film  is  that  good. 
George  Sinclair  Mitchell  is  a  walking 
and  very  vocal  encyclopedia  of  knowl- 
edge on  all  phases  of  the  South.  He 
has  a  gift  for  lucid  and  interesting 
explanation.  He  captures  his  audience 
and  holds  it.  He  has  given  his  hfe  to 
the  South,  taking  time  out  for  a  Ph.D. 
at  Johns  Hopkins  University  and  for 
study  at  Oxford  as  a  Rhodes  scholar. 
Executive  Director  of  the  Southern 
Regional  Council  for  the  past  ten 
years,  this  man  of  wisdom,  acute  eco- 
nomic insight,  and  contagious  sense  of 
humor,  draws  a  portrait  of  the  South 
which  leaves  you  feeling  hopeful 
rather  than  helpless.  His  basic  conten- 
tion is  that  as  progress  is  made  toward 
increased  economic  opportunity  for 
minority  people,  so  will  there  be  prog- 
ress toward  the  attainment  of  civil 
rights  (for  all).  Availrbility:  Try  your

and  Film  Commission,  NCC,  475

When  There's  A  Will 

I  watched  them  closely  as  I  ran  ofiF 
the  new  k9-minute  b&w  film  Treas- 
ures In  Heaven  at  a  private  screening 
in  my  home.  It  really  held  their  atten- 
tion. And  who  were  my  guests?  Three 
prominent  attorneys,  the  pastor  of  a 
neighbor  church,  a  housewife  and 
prominent  church  woman,  and  a  re- 
tired diplomat.  I  knew  the  lawyers 
would  see  the  film  from  their  profes- 
sional perspective  as  would  the  min- 
ister and  the  others. 

Now  for  the  evaluation:  They  liked 
it.  They  thought  it  would  encourage 
people  to  make  wills  and  help  Chris- 
tians see  the  need  for  remembering 


the  church  and  its  related  institutions 
in  their  wills.  They  thought  the  acting 
was  good  and  that  the  profession  of 
the  law  was  satisfactorily  depicted. 
They  found  it  informative  as  well  as 
highly  motivational.  They  could  think 
of  no  one  being  able  to  say  so  much 
or  say  it  half  as  eflFectively  in  29  min- 
utes. They  did,  to  the  last  one,  react 
negatively  to  the  title— How  did  such 
a  fine  film  ever  get  such  a  misleading 
title?  (I  really  don't  know  and  join 
them  in  wondering.) 

On  utilization  they  were  enthusias- 
tic about  it  being  shown  to  all  kinds  of 
adult  church  groups,  to  service  clubs, 
to  fraternal  orders,  to  the  professional 
meetings  of  attorneys,  bankers  and 
ministers.  And  they  wanted  to  know 
if  there  was  literature  to  go  with  the 
film.  There  is,  plus  a  user's  guide.  Get 
it  from  the  stewardship  department  of 
your  denomination,  which  will  also  be 
the  source  of  the  film  unless  it  is  avail- 
able locally  through  local  offices  such 
as  those  of  presbyteries,  synods,  con- 
ferences and  such.  From  these  sources 
the  film  may  be  available  for  a  small 
service  fee,  an  offering,  or  even  free. 
From  rental  sources  it  will  be  $9.00. 
It  was  produced  by  Family  Films, 
Inc.,  Hollywood  39,  for  the  Depart- 
ment of  Stewardship  and  Benevolence 
of  the  National  Council  of  Churches, 
with  T.  K.  Thompson  acting  as  tech- 
nical advisor. 


K  Interesting,  Entertaining 

The  above  could  be  a  thesis,  don't 
you  think? 

Take  Retrievers  At  Work,  which 
covers  the  training  and  performance 
of  certain  breeds  of  dogs.  In  my  pre- 
view audience  were  three  adults  and 
two  young  people.  We  found  it  inter- 
esting and  enjoyable.  It  entertained 
us.  The  same  for  By  Map  and  Com- 
pass, which  the  Boy  Scout  and  his 
father  would  surely  find  interesting, 
and  I  thought  I  might. 

But  what  of  the  'girls,'  ovu-  wives, 
and  the  10-year-old?  Would  they? 
They  did;  we  all  did.  Orienteering 
was  fascinating  as  explained  and  dem- 
onstrated via  beautiful  Canadian  out- 
doors in  fall.  Begone  Dull  Care  was  on- 
film  painting  in  fluid  lines  and  jumpy 
blotches  of  color  by  Morman  McLaren 
with  a  jazz  musical  background.  It 
afforded  us  pleasure  —  entertained. 
Voulette  Grise,  lovely  and  expression- 
istic  and  filled  with  beautiful  imagery 
of  familiar  objects  that  fade  in  and 
fade  out  on  the  screen  with  lullaby 
softness.  Film  poetryl 

Need  I  say  more?  My  point  is 
proved:  If  interesting,  entertaining! 
But  too  few  church  people  are  using 
these  in  the  context  of  entertainment

School  Officials  Make  Modest 

Starts  in  Educational  TV 

While  Planning  School  District 

or  College  Campus  Networks 


The  complete  linkage  of  college 
classroom  buildings  or  of  schools  in 
dispersed  districts  requires  careful 
study  of  the  physical  layouts  of 
these  buildings.  Also  required  is  ad- 
vanced planning  for  television  trans- 
mission and  reception  in  future 
school  buildings.  And  equally  im- 
portant are  the  preparations  for 
complete  programming  of  ETV 
courses  over  a  linking  network. 

Many  schools  are  approaching 
the  situation  by  making  a  modest 
beginning.  Closed-circuit  TV  is  used 
in  available  individual  buildings 
preliminary  to  the  installation  of  a 
linking  TV  network.  This  realistic 
approach  is  sound,  and  it  furnishes 
a  source  of  valuable  information 
and  experience  for  use  as  the  ETV 
program  expands. 

Through  this  method  a  corps  of 
experienced  personnel  will  be  de- 
veloped. This  includes  the  profes- 
sional staff  to  coordinate  the 
planning  of  programs  and  lessons; 
the  trained  technicians  to  conduct 
preventative  maintenance  necessary 
in  keeping  equipment  in  good  op- 
erating condition. 

A  modest  beginning  in  ETV  also 
provides  the  opportunity  for  exper- 
imental and  exploratory  activity. 
These  explorations  may  delve  into 
the  professional  use  of  equipment 
for  improving  instruction  in  the  sub- 
ject areas  of  a  school's  curriculum. 
Further,  the  explorations  may  have 
to  do  with  the  physical  aspects  of 
the  ETV  system:  the  placement  of 
receivers;  proper  lighting;  acous- 
tics; inter-communication  and  the 
location  of  transmitting  equipment. 

Another  vital  phase  of  planning 
for  ETV  concerns  the  selection  of 
proper  transmitting  equipment. 
While  the  equipment  should  meet 
the  needs  for  a  beginning  system, 
it  should  also  have  the  facility  for 
future  expansion  without  obsolet- 
ing  the  original  equipment.  An  ETV 
system  that  meets  these  and  other 
requirements  has  been  developed 
and  is  being  marketed  by  the  Dagc 
Television  Division,  Thompson 


Ramo  Wooldridge,  Inc.,  Michigan 
City,  Indiana. 

The  Dage  concept  for  Educational 
Television  is  based  on  the  modular 
construction  of  equipment.  It  is  pos- 
sible to  start  with  one  camera,  using 
the  Dage  Mobile  ETS-1  system,  and 
to  add  additional  cameras  without 
obsoleting  the  first  one.  The  cameras 
and  control  units  are  housed  in  a

ular in  construction  .  .  .  expansion 
won't  obsolete  original  equipment. 


mobile  console  so  the  "mobile" 
studio  can  actually  be  moved  from 
one  lesson  origination  point  to  an- 
other, or  it  can  remain  stationary 
in  a  studio  location.  The  system 
further  provides  for  the  use  of  a  film 
pick-up  camera.  This  enables  the 
schools  to  televise  the  many  excel- 
lent educational  motion  pictures 
available  to  them. 

While  ETV  systems  should  be 
carefully  planned,  schools  and  col- 
leges need  not  wait  for  a  linking  net- 
work system.  As  outlined  above,  a 
small  start  is  often  the  wisest  course. 

Many  schools  and  colleges  plan- 
ning ETV  systems  have  contacted 
Dage  Television  for  assistance.  As 
a  pioneer  in  the  field  of  ETV,  Dage's 
engineering  and  installation  experi- 
ence is  of  proven  value.  For  further

Religion  Via  Science 

In  its  Science  Adventure  series  t) 
Moody  Institute  of  Science  uses  son 
outstanding  phenomena  from  the  nat 
ural  world  to  point  up  a  spiritual  truth 
It  seems  that  Uncle  Bob,  in  his  rathe 
plush  'repair  shop,'  is  called  upon  fron 
time  to  time  to  settle  disputes  anc 
answer  questions  for  his  junior-ag« 
neighbors.  They  bring  him  a  bat  anc 
leani  about  the  bat's  radar  navigatioi 
(and  about  God);  and,  two  scrappinj 
boys  trigger  a  demonstration  of  th« 
fact  that  no  two  snowflakes  are  th( 
same  and  what  this  tells  us  about  th( 
God  of  creation  and  ourselves.  AU  thi; 
is  brought  off  in  good  color  with  fint 
little  actors  and  interesting  format 
These  13-minute  films  can  certainly  bt 
used  to  teach  a  great  deal  of  religior 
via  natural  science  if  the  wideness  and 
depth  of  God's  mercy  is  not  reduced 
by  the  films'  tendency  to  formulate 
and  formalize.  From  your  AV  dealer,

Skillfully  Made 

Any  producer  who  undertakes  a  his- 
torical picture  is  in  for  trouble  unless 
he  has  imagination  and  great  tech- 
nical skill,  a  combination  not  always 
easy  to  come  by.  Perhaps  this  is  why 
the  Presbyterians  engaged  a  Paris  con- 
cern to  produce  the  29-minute  b6tw 
film  For  God's  Glory  in  connection 
with  the  John  Calvin  and  Reformed 
Church  jubilee  year.  It  portrays, 
through  the  skiUful  utilization  of  still 
pictures  of  all  kinds,  Christianity  from 
the  Middle  Ages  through  the  years  of 
the  19th  century  missionary  expan- 
sion. It  held  my  attention  all  the  way 
and  it  was  a  good  film  to  the  last 
frame!  Available  to  Presbyterians 
through  their  presbytery  and  synod 
offices;  others  inquire  of  your  denomi- 
national AV  departments.  Recom- 
mended; the  most  interesting  history  II 
have  seen  in  some  time!

NoR.MAN  Singer,  Dean  of  the  Aspen  School  of  Music  and  Director  of  the  Aspen 
Music  Festival  in  Colorado,  uses  his  Norelco  'Continental'  to  play  a  tape  by  a 
young  pianist  who  has  applied  for  admission  to  the  celebrated  summer  school. 
"The  Norelco  'Continental'  is  our  choice  because  the  prime  requisites  for  a  tape 
recorder  at  Aspen  are  ruggedness,  versatility  and  high  fidelity,"  states  Mr.  Singer. 
"A  first-rate  tape  recorder  like  the  'Continental'  is  an  essential  item  for  an  active 
music  school.  By  studying  the  tapes,  students  learn  to  criticize  constructively  their 
own  compositions  as  well  as  their  own  instrumental  and  vocal  performances." 
The  Norelco  'Continental'  is  a  product  of  North  American  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High 
Fidelity  Products  Division,  Dept.  ISIO,  230  Duffy  Ave.,  Hicksville,  L.  I.,  New  York.

FINAL   SUCCESS   OF   FILMED 

PRESENTATION    DEPENDS   ON 

QUALITY   OF   PROJECTION   SCREEN 

Good  filming,  care- 
ful projection — yet 
the  picture  lacks 
clarity  and  colors  are 
weak !  This  is  a  case 
of  projecting  on  an 
improper  surface. 
Da-Lite  engineers 
have  developed  a 
screen  surface  that 
protects  the  audio- 
'*  visual  professional 
from  such  a  problem.  The  famous  White 
Magic  glass-beaded  surface  is  unequalled 
in  quality.  Gives  outstanding  clarity  of 
picture  and  faithful  reproduction  of  color. 
You  can  seat  your  audience  over  a  wider 
area  with  this  new  surface,  too.  For  details 
on  screen  surfaces  available  and  their  ap- 
plication, write  Engineering  Department, 
Da-Lite  Screen  Company,  Inc. 


NEW!    ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED 
SCREEN    FOR   AUDITORIUMS 

The  exclusive  Da-Lite  Electrol-,  is  electri- 
cally-operated .  .  .  disappears  completely 
when  not  in  use,  reappears  in  seconds  at 
touch  of  control  button. 
May  be  installed  in  a  concealed  position — 
or  mounted  on  wail  and  finished  to  match !

oiporation,    long    one    of    the    biggest 

;imes  among  suppliers  of  photographic 

nd  instrumentation  equipment  for  the 

1  d  forces,  now  enters  the  consumer 

et    with    an    8mm    sound-on-film 

ra  and  projector. 

r  Fairchild  "Cinephonic  Eight" 
la  weights  about  4i/4  pounds  and  is 
letely  self-contained,  with   an   in- 

^  .d  hermetically  sealed  nickel  cad- 
;ium  battery  as  a  power  source,  re- 
hargeable    from    any    house    lighting 

cket.  The  sound  is  recorded  on  Ansco- 

idc  color  film  bearing  a  25  mil  mag- 
etic  stripe.  The  striped  film  costs  $7.50

(U  of  double  8,  twice  the  length  of  the 
.inventional  8mm  roll.  Black-and-white 
tnped  film  is  promised,  and  existing 
ilent  8mm  film  will  be  striped  to  order 
n  that  silent  8mm  can  be  sounded  in 
he  companion  Fairchild  8mm  sound-on- 
ilni  projector.  The  color  film  speed  is 
ated  ASA  12  Tungsten,  and  (with  85-B 
liter)  ASA  10  Daylight. 

The  camera  mounts  a  3-lens  turret. 
;tandard  equipment  is  a  13mm  f/1.8 
I  focus  Cinphar  lens.  Other  lenses 
available  are  the  38mm  f/1.8  tele- 
iiuto  and  the  8.5mm  f/1.8  wide  angle; 
loth  fixed  focus;  each  priced  $39.95.  The 
aniera  price  is  $239.50. 

Basic  equipment  includes  the  built-in 
■cording  unit,  earphone  monitoring  sys-

a  large  classroom."  The  pre-focused  150- 
watt  "True-Flector"  lamp  reportedly 
"casts  a  beam  equivalent  to  750  watts 
on  the  screen."  The  projector  not  only 
records  and  plays  back,  but  is  designed 
to  "overlay"  sound  on  previous  record- 
ing without  erasing  the  original  track 
where  this  is  desired. 

The  market  primarily  visualized  by 
Fairchild's  merchandising  experts  is  the 
"25  to  40-year-old  married  male  with  a 
college  education,  one  or  more  small 
children,  earning  over  $10,000  as  an 
executive  or  professional  man  .  .  .  (and 
as  gifts)  parents  of  talented  college 
students  and  newlyweds."  But  Charles 
E.  Cherry,  Jr.,  marketing  manager, 
when  introducing  the  new  product, 
"suggested  also  that  teachers,  salesmen, 
and  scientists  will  adopt  this  audiovisual 
tool  because  of  its  low  cost." 

Assuming  that  voice  and  major  sound

quate for  medium-sized  groups,  there  is 
every  reason  to  anticipate  that  conveni-

goes  to  United  World — which  has  per- 
formed this  service  without  a  break  ever 
since  1941.  While  most  of  this  material 
was  created  originally  for  specific  gov- 
ernment purposes,  a  large  portion  has 
been  found  highly  useful  for  classroom 
and  personnel  training  use.  Free  cata- 
logs are  available  from  UWF  Govern- 
ment Department.

able. "Power  of  the  Resurrection"  is  the

Dates  for  Industrial  A-V  Meet 

Herb  Rosen  advises  that  new  dates 
for  the  4th  Annual  Industrial  Film  and 
A-V  Exhibition  are  set  at  October  10 
through  13,  in  order  to  avoid  clash  with 
travel  time  from  the  Cologne,  Germany, 
Photokino.  This  two-week  postpone- 
ment became  advisable  because  the 
dates  of  the  big  international  fair  were 
changed.  For  further  information,  write

The  World  is  Our  Stage 


Regularly,  for  more  than  twenty  years,  Coronet  Films  has  sent 
skilled  camera  crews  throughout  the  world  whenever  the  subject 
of  an  educational  motion  picture  requires  authentic  film  footage. 

This  long  term  program  of  "shooting  on  location"  has  con- 
tributed to  Coronet's  unparalleled  reputation  for  accurate,  rich- 
in-content  films  .  .  .  and  created  in  them  the  special  quality  of 
authenticity  so  essential  to  capturing  interest  and  converting  it 
to  enthusiasm  for  more  learning. 

Films  on  geography,  history,  world  literature,  foreign  languages, 
art  and  music  appreciation  are  among  the  regular  assignments 
being  performed  by  camera  crews  in  the  more  than  60  countries 
shown  .  .  .  some  located  permanently,  others  on  regular  shooting 
schedules.  Every  continent  except  Antarctica  has  been  at  least 
temporarily  "home"  for  a  Coronet  camera  crew. 


The  authentic,  "on  location"  scenes  in  more  than  150  Coronet 
films  bring  students  closer  to  their  subject  matter  than  do  other 
teaching  aids— another  important  element  that  gives  to  Coronet 
Films  its  quality  of  leadership. 

This  booklet  is  yours!  Send  for  it  today.' 
It  tells  the  complete  story  of  Coronet  creative 
quality  in  its  library  of  more  than  900  educa 
tional  films

HOW  TO  TEACH  MORE 
EFFECTIVELY  WITH  AN 

OVERHEAD  TBMSPARENCil 

PROJECTOR 

An  important  visual  aids  primer  --  clip  and  save  h 

As  a  person  who  uses  and  is  often  called  upon  to  advise 
in  the  selection  of  visual  aids  equipment,  it  is  essential 
that  you  become  familiar  with  the  many  advantages  of  over- 
head projection  techniques — how  it  can  make  your  teaching 
even  more  effective,  how  it  helps  the  student  to  grasp  and  to 
retain  ideas,  how  it  increases  the  scope  of  your  subject  matter. 


For  many  teachers  the  prime  ad- 
vantage of  the  overhead  transparency 
projector  is  the  fact  that  it  is  the 
only  type  of  projection  equipment 
that  is  designed  to  be  operated  in 
broad  dayhght.  The  ordinary  class- 
room becomes  a  theater  without  turn- 
ing out  the  lights  or  drawing  the 
shades.  Of  course,  you  must  have  a 
projector  that  provides  the  maximum 
screen  light  required  to  retain  detail 
and  color.  Projection  Optics'  Trans- 
paque  Jr.,  for  instance,  provides  up 
to  three  times  more  light  on  the 
screen  than  any  other  projector  of 
its  type.  Transpaque  Jr.'s  exclusive 
optical  system  has  completely  elimi- 
nated a  serious  overhead  projection 
problem  —  the  distracting  rings  that 
have  always  appeared  on  the  screen. 

Up-Front  Projection 

With  this  teaching  tool,  both  you 
and  the  projector  are  at  the  head  of 
the  class.  As  you  teach,  you  face  your 
students.  You  can  gauge  their  re- 
actions, spot  questions  immediately; 
students  can  take  notes  and  you  can 
refer  to  yours.  Remember,  the  lights 
are  on!  In  short,  with  the  Trans- 
paque Jr.  you  retain  all  the  advan- 
tages of  a  classroom  environment. 

The  very  small  profile  of  Trans- 
paque Jr.,   especially   the  projection 


head,  makes  every  seat  usable.  There 
is  nothing  obstructing  your  view  of 
the  class.  Every  student  is  able  to 
see  both  you  and  the  screen.  The 
more  compact  Transpaque  Jr.  is  also 
easily  portable. 

Superimpose  transparency  over 
transparency,  building  a  progressive 
story  before  the  eyes  of  your  class. 
Transpaque  Jr.  retains  the  brilliance 


TRANSPAQUE  OPTICAL 
SYSTEM 


and  color  even  through  multi-colored 
overlays.  Each  transparency  has  a 
large  10"  x  10"  format.  You  can 
tailor-make  them  yourself,  simply 
and  inexpensively.  You  can  buy  them 
already  prepared,  covering  a  multi- 
tude of  subjects. 

Write  As  You  Speak 

To  create  large  screen  images  of 
your  notes  or  ideas,  just  write  in 
your  normal  size  script  on  a  trans- 
parency. It  is  projected  as  you  write, 


just  behind  you  on  the  screen.  Yoi 
can  draw  lines,  write  clarifying  re 
marks,  circle  areas  of  special  interest 
Your  individual  technique  is  as  un 
limited  as  your  own  imagination 
There  is  no  squeaky  chalk  or  tiresomi 
blackboard  work.  Use  the  roll  o 
transparent  film.  Write  on  it  an( 
roll  it  away  for  a  continuous  suppl; 
of  clean  writing  surface. 

Transpaque  Jr.  is  UL-CSA  ap 
proved.  It  is  easy  to  operate  ano 
trouble-free.  For  a  free  demom

A  highlight  of  the  1960  festival  is 
an  evening  symposium  at  which  EFLA 
will  invite  festival  registrants  to  "Meet 
the  Film-Makers"— a  group  of  first 
rank  ijroducers,  including  some  of  last 
year's  Blue  Ribbon  winners,  who  have 
done  work  of  particular  distinction  in 
the  AV  field.  These  film-makers  will

...  FOR  HIGH  QUALITY  AND  LASTING  ECONOMY 

It  is  a  recorder  that  meets  the  most  exacting  sound-quality  require- 
ments. And  because  the  Ampex's  long,  trouble-free  life  means  true 
economy,  it  is  one  of  the  best  equipment  investments  your  school  or 
district  can  make. 

One  Ampex  351  can  do  all  the  high  quality  recording  jobs  for  the 
school :  original  teaching  tapes,  language  master  tapes,  recordings 
for  speech  evaluation  and  correction,  rehearsal  assistance  for  band 
and  orchestra,  and  any  tapes  that  will  be  duplicated  for  distribution 
to  other  schools. 

Inevitably  the  Ampex  also  becomes  the  school's  one  heavy-duty 
"workhorse"  giving  far  more  hours  of  service  than  any  of  the  school's 
other  recorders.  Why?  Because  the  Ampex  can  give  continuous 
year-round  service  with  minimum  maintenance. 

These  are  the  same  qualities  that  have  firmly  established  the  Ampex 
351  as  first  choice  of  broadcasters  and  professional  recording  studios 
—  and  of  knowledgeable  educators  interested  in  producing  tape 
masters  to  high  standards. 

The  use  of  professional  recorders  in  education  has  been  documented 
in  a  new  brochure  which  this  coupon  below  makes  available  to  you.

^VHAT'S  GOING  ON  HERE? 


Why,  Charlie  the  Destroyer  is  trying  to  rip  the  tape, 
but  he  can't  because  LEVOLOR  plastic  tape  is  re-en- 
forced two  ways.  Take  a  plastic  fabric,  impregnate 
this  under  pressure  with  more  plastic,  and  you  have 
LEVOLOR  two-way  re-enforced  tape,  a  tape  to  re- 
sist the  efforts  of  the  most  mischievous  student  in 
the  school. 


Information  that  insures  the  best  installation  pos- 
sible is  a  service  all  LEVOLOR  representatives  will 
give  you.  They  will  submit  a  prospectus  covering 
every  detail  of  your  Venetian  Blind  installation— help 
with  the  specifications  and  make  a  final  inspection 
after  the  blinds  are  installed.  It  is  a  service  that  guar- 
antees good  specifications  and  good  Venetian  Blinds.

Demonstration  of  Teaching  IVIethods 
Facilitated  by  Closed-Circuit  TV 


Educators  are  well  acquainted  with 
the  methods  of  instructing  student 
teachers:  actual  visitation  to  elemen- 
tary classrooms  and  observation  of 
model  classrooms  from  balconies 
equipped  with  one-way  glass  parti- 
tions. While  both  methods  have  ad- 
vantages, there  are  also  certain  limita- 
tions or  objections  to  each.  Classroom 
visitations  are  distracting  to  elemen- 
tary pupils  and  their  teachers.  Model 
classrooms  with  mezzanine  observa- 
tion points  are  very  costly  to  con- 
struct, and  also  limit  the  area  for 
observation. 

Many  colleges  of  teacher  education 
are  overcoming  the  basic  problems  of 
classroom  observation  through  the 
use  of  Dage  television  systems.  While 
the  physical  layout  of  educational 
buildings  will  determine  to  some  ex- 
tent the  type  of  equipment  and  system 
to  be  used,  the  one  as  diagrammed 
above  is  symbolic. 

Dage  cameras  cover  the  entire 
classroom  area.  Each  of  the  cameras 
can  be  remotely  controlled  from  the 


observation  room.  In  this  room  stu- 
dent teachers  and  their  instructor  ob- 
serve the  demonstration  teaching  on 
television  receivers.  Thus  observation 
and  interpretative  discussion  can  go 
on  without  distracting  classroom 
procedures. 

As  a  pioneer  in  the  field  of  ETY, 
Dage  Television  has  worked  closely 
with  educators  to  develop  a  wide 
range  of  systems  and  equipment  for 
educational  purposes.  The  teacher 
training  system  is  but  one  example. 
Each  institutional  requirement  is 
treated  as  a  special  installation  with 
the  equipment  system  being  cus- 
tomized to  meet  local  need. 

When  considering  your  require- 
ments for  closed-circuit  ETV,  request 
the  consultation  of  a  Dage  representa- 
tive. He  is  well  qualified  to  discuss  and 
advise  on  all  phases  of  ETV.  Write  for 
complete  information  about  Dage 
television  cameras  and  systems  for 
every  educational  purpose.  No  obli- 
gation, of  course.

Finn  presents  some  of  his  thouyli 
on  American  education  and  the  m 
DAVI  will  play  in  it. 

"The  audiovisual  field  today  is  i 
fervescent,  changing,  growing,  evnl' 
ing,  and  is  moving  into  what  is,  w  iti 
out  doubt,  its  'golden  decade'.  Instru 
tional  technology— the  use  of  comnn 
nication  devices  and  materials  of  ,i 
kinds  such  as  television,  teaching  m 
chines,  films,  tapes— and  language  lal 
oratories  will  be  used  increasingly  t 
improve  the  quality  of  instruction  i 
American  education  and  to  make  tli 
teacher  a  true  professional. 

"In  a  sense,  the  old  cry  from  Worl 
War  II,  "give  us  the  tools  and  we  wi 
do  the  job!"  is  being  answered  for  th' 
first  time  in  American  education.  I  ■ 
the  next  ten  years  inventions,  improvt 
ments  upon  older  devices  and  whol 
instructional  systems  will  be  mad 
available  to  the  teaching  profession  i 
quantity  and  (juality  never  befor 
dreamed  of.  With  tliese  devices  wij 
go  new  materials  of  all  kinds. 

"The  role  of  DAVI  is  clear  in  thi 
coming  decade.  We  must  exercis 
great  leadership  in  order  to  insure  tha 
these  materials  and  devices  will  h>

Camera  Notes  at  the  Convention 

"Will  you  regard  this  convention  as  time  well  spent?" 


Joe  Eiihiinks,  supervisor,  Laurens  County  Schools, 
Dublin,  Ga.: 

Yes,  it's  wonderful.  This  is  my  first  one,  and  I 
certainly  haven't  seen  any  bad  features.  1  hke 
especially  the  exchange  of  ideas,  meeting  fellow 
.\\  people,  and  the  fine  display  of  equipment 
and  materials. 


Eleanor    Kaltnan,    examiner,    Cincinnati    School 
Board: 

It  seems  to  be  doing  what  it's  designed  to  do— 
get  the  people  to  meet  each  other,  spread  new 
ideas,  hear  authorities  on  various  topics,  and  show 
new  equipment.  I've  just  finished  an  AV  course 
at  the  University  of  Cincinnati,  and  I  think  all 
tliis  equipment  is  fascinating. 


Carhjk  Frederick,  audiovisual  coordinator,  Nap- 
panee  High  School,  Nappanee,  Ind.: 

I'm  impressed,  and  I'm  taking  alot  of  ideas 
home.  But  I'm  disturbed  about  one  thing:  there  is 
not  enough  interest  shown  in  the  actual  audio- 
visual classroom  problems  of  the  small  school. 
There  is  much  time  given  to  high  level  adminis- 
trative discussions,  but  I  think  DAVI  could  profit 
by  getting  down  to  the  grass  roots  more  than  they 
are  doing. 


Ed  Minor,  instructor,  Florida  A<bM   University, 
Tallahassee: 

I  used  to  teach  graphic  arts  at  Indiana  Uni- 
versity and  feel  especially  close  to  the  progress 
being  made  in  equipment.  The  convention  talks 
and  exhibits  continue  to  get  better,  and  I  have 
taken  a  lot  of  worthwhile  notes  in  the  things 
I've  seen  and  heard. 


£.  B.  Nowicki,  (r.),  head  of  audiovisual  training, 
and  Robert  R.  Pomeroij,  both  of  the  U.  S.  Navy 
training  device  center.  Port  Washington,  N.  Y.: 

There  is  a  lot  new  here  in  the  exhibits  that  are 
being  shown,  especially  in  teaching  machines.  The 
meetings  have  been  good.  These,  plus  the  con- 
tacts we  make,  give  us  a  chance  to  see  what  the 
other  service  training  areas  are  using  in  the  way 
of  techniques,  budgets,  and  so  forth.

TRIUMPHS 


TLC  .  .  .  Tender,  loving  care  from  a  tape 
recorder?  It  isn't  unheard  of.  One  boy 
approached  learning  with  fear  and  hesita- 
tion because  the  idea  had  been  drummed 
into  him  that  his  oral  reading  was  poor. 
A  school  social  worker,  realizing  that  his 
reading  was  not  really  deficient,  had  him 
record  a  story.  When  he  heard  it  played 
back,  he  gained  some  of  the  reassurance 
that  comes  from  warm,  gentle  guidance. 


CROWD  .  .  .  Teachers  with  overloaded 
classes  have  solved  some  of  their  problems 
with  a  two-platoon  system  involving  tape 
recorders.  'They  record  questions  for  a 
quiz  or  routine  instruction  and  play  the 
tape  for  one  section  of  the  class  while 
giving  close  attention  to  another  section. 
TOUGH  JOB  .  .  .  Few  jobs  in  education  are 
easy,  and  tapes  used  for  instruction  must 
be  as  durable  as  the  teachers  who  use 
them.  New  "SCOTCH"  BRAND  No.  311 
Tape  with  TENZAR  backing  is  extra- 
tough.  It's  designed  to  withstand  abuse 
resulting  from  constant  handling— can  be 
erased  and  re-recorded  time  and  again  on

The  April  issue  of  Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guia 
traditionally  gives  special  emphasis  to  the  "audio"  in  "audiovisual 
On  a  recent  school  holiday,  while  thinking  about  this,  we  thumbe 
tlirough  the  pages  of  Volume  XIV.  That  was  1935's  volume  an 
there  was  no  "audio"  in  the  title.  It  was  "Education  Screen  combine  ; 
with  Visual  Instruction  News." 

Ellsworth  Dent,   secretary  of  The  Department  of  Visual 
Instruction  of  the  N.  E.  A.  reported  that  the  winter  con- 
ference in  Atlantic  City  had  been  "small  but  fruitful." 
A  news  note  headlined  that  a  "Pennsylvania  High  School 
Successfully  Uses  Talking  Pictures." 

Most  every  month  Erpi  Picture  Consultants  announced 
new  talking  pictures.  Over  a  hundred  films  in  nine  cate- 
gories had  been  produced. 

Eastman  Kodak  Company  announced  over  200  silent  filn 
from  their  Teaching  Films  division. 
In  an  article  on  "Trends  in  Visual-Sensory  Instruction," 
Dean  McClusky  saw  the  most  pressing  issue  as  "whetha 
or  not  money  for  equipment  should  be  invested  in  silefl 
or  sound  projectors."  He  perceived  "the  development 
a  critical  attitude  among  school  people  toward  the  quality 
of  visual  aids,"  and  a  concern  among  teachers  that  "robot 
instruction  will  supplant  the  person  of  the  teacher." 
RCA  announced  the  first  amateur  sound  camera. 
Victor  Animatograph  celebrated  its  25th  anniversary. 
SVE  sold  its  "latest  improved  Model  D  Picturol  Propjector 
for  $38.50  complete  with  carrying  case." 
The  discovery  of  the  Eastman   Kodachrome  process  for 
color  movies  was  heralded  editorially. 
Edgar  Dale,  in  discussing  a  plan  for  a  proposed  American 
Film  Institute,  believed  that  "the  motion  picture  and  allied 
visual  and  sensory  aids  have  a  vast  unrealized  contribution 
to  make  to  American  education." 

Dunn  and  Schneider  reported  in  detail  on  the  visual  ma- 
terials centers  in  states. 

One  speaker  at  the  winter  meeting  spoke  on  "The  Use  of 
Visual  and  Aural  Aids  in  the  Teaching  of  Literature  in 
the  High  School." 

A  teacher  wrote,  "Since  the  coming  of  sound  and  talking 
pictures  in  the  theaters,  the  novelty  of  motion  pictures 
in  the  classroom  has  worn  off  rapidly." 
A  brief  note  told  about  "a  pioneer  demonstration  in  visual- 
radio  instruction  in  art"  in  Philadelphia.  Still  pictures  were 
projected  in  classrooms  in  synchronization  with  a  radio 
program. 

That  was  1935,  and  two  things  strike  us  from  this  excursion  back 
to  the  visual  instruction  world  of  25  years  ago.  First.  What  causes 
tiie  tremendous  lag?  Why  have  we  made  so  little  progress?  Prac- 
tically all  we  know  and  say  about  visual  instruction  was  said  years 
ago. 

Second.  Where  was  the  term  "audio"  25  years  ago?  You  don't  find 
"audio"  or  "audiovisual"  anywhere  in  the  308  pages  of  Volume  XIV. 
The  audio  components  are  there.  Sound  pictures,  radio,  television, 
everything  but  tape  recording.  But  audio  had  not  yet  been  tied 
verbally  to  visual.  Maybe  that's  what  was  holding  things  back! 

Next  time  there's  a  coincident  of  a  school  holiday  and  a  reminis- 
cent mood,  we'll  have  to  try  to  find  when  "audio"  first  appeared 
in  the  pages  of  Educational  Screen.  Or  can  someone  tell  us?

At  the  new  Kaibab  Elementary  School,  Scottsdale,  Arizona,  selected  by  A.A.S.A.  for  its 
exhibit  of  outstanding  school  designs,  Mr.  Marvin  Osborn,  Audio-Visual  Director  says: 


*In  operation  75%  of  the  school  day,  these  Kodak 
Pageant  Projectors  just  keep  running... without  fail!** 


"Once-a-year  checkups  seem  to  be  all  they  need  to 
keep  them  operating  the  way  we  hke,  with  no  break- 
downs, no  disruptions  of  classroom  order. 

"Projection  Club,  6th,  7th  and  8th  grade  students 
handle  showings.  They  catch  on  fast  to  the  Pageant's 
simple  operation." 

Stresses  on  audio-visual  equipment  are  extraordi- 
nary, even  in  normal  use.  Constant  usage,  hard  usage, 
and  usage  by  many  different  people  mean  that  pro- 
jection equipment  must  be  built  specifically  for  Audio- 


Visual  work,  if  it  is  to  endure. 

That's  the  way  we  have  constructed  Kodak  Pageant 
Projectors.  First,  to  be  sturdy  . . .  with  quality  sound 
and  screen  image  for  all  types  of  A-V  usage.  Then,  to 
be  simply  operated  . . .  even  by  children.  Finally,  to 
be  easily  maintained  . . .  with  only  occasional  checkup. 

Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  are  sold  through  Kodak 
Audio-Visual  dealers,  who  will  demonstrate  at  your 
convenience.  Or,  you  can  write  for  Bulletin  V3-22;  no 
obligation,  of  course.

Student  tapes  take 
foreign  language 
correspondence 
to  other  areas, 
to  other  states, 
to  foreign  countries 


by  Bernard  T.  Hanley

The  casual  comment  of  a  student  starttil 
ball  rolling.  It  was  an  idea  of  using  student- 1- 
tape  recordings  in  a  foreign  language  as  a  nit 
od  of  student-correspondence. 

For  some  time  we  had  been  experimcni 
with  tape  recorders  in  an  effort  to  cKh 
whether  a  language  laboratory  would  Ix 
worthwhile  item  to  install  in  our  schools.  \\  I 
working  with  the  first  unit  of  such  a  laborato 
a  student  made  a  remark  which  provoked  t 
whole  train  of  thought  leading  to  students'  inl 
school  foreign  language  tape  recordings.  ^\  1 
asked  whether  he  would  like  to  have  his  .sc 
made  French  tape  played  so  that  his  fell( 
students  could  hear  what  he  himself  had  In 
hearing  through  his  earphones,  the  studi  i 
reply  was:  "No!  they  will  notice  all  my  mistak 
I'd  work  harder  and  make  a  better  tape  il 
knew  from  the  beginning  that  they  were  gni 
to  listen  to  it." 

There  was  the  beginning  of  the  idea  ...  if  ft 
low  students  could  stimulate  a  student  to  wo 
harder  and  more  attentively,  why  wouldn't  soir 
one  with  whom  he  corresponded  be  an  equal 
efficient  stimulus.  As  the  idea  germinated,  rao 
and  more  possibilities  seemed  to  evolve.  He 
was  the  chance  for  students  in  one  part  of  t) 
country  to  talk  with  students  in  another.  If, 
their  conversing,  they  were  to  use  a  foreign  la ' 
guage  which  each  was  trying  to  learn,  a  doub 
purpose  eould  be  served.  Most  desirable  of  a 
as  all  teachers  would  recognize,  was  the  stimul 
tion  to  self-activity,  motivation  to  mastery,  ar 
the  "pursuit  of  excellence"  in  the  use  of  t\ 
foreign  language.  This  was  an  efficient  studei 
challenge. 

The  students  in  the  French  and  Spanish  classt 
were  asked,  "Would  you  like  to  talk  with  othf 
teenagers  about  the  things  that  you  are  doin 
in  school,  about  your  dances,  your  basketba 
games,  your  various  activities?  Would  you  lik 
to  do  this  in  the  language  you  are  studying  an 
to  receive  an  answer  in  the  .same  language: 
At  first  they  were  skeptical.  Would  it  work?  IIo\ 
would  we  do  it?  Do  we  have  time?  How  d 
we  know  that  they  will  answer?  I  had  ahead 
contacted  teachers  in  other  cities  and  thes 
teachers  were  confident  their  own  students  woul 
be  interested.  With  this  assurance  a  small  group 
decided  to  give  the  idea  a  chance. 

Students  of  the  French  class  were  the  firs 
to  try.  They  decided,  first,  to  write  in  Englisl 
what  they  intended  to  say;  second,  to  put  it  ii 
grammatically  correct  French;  third,  to  practici 
reading  aloud,  and  finally  to  record  it  on  tape 
In  the  actual  recording,  a  girl  acted  as  th( 
moderator.  She  introduced  herself  and  the  vari 
ous  students  taking  part.  Each  student  told  i 
little  about  himself,  his  family,  his  father's  oc- 
cupation, the  various  industries  in  the  area  oi 
similar  items  of  personal  interest  to  students 
As  an  added  feature  for  the  opening  and  closing 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — April,  196C 


t  the  recording,  a  student  brought  a  record  of 
.(  Marseillaise.  While  the  tape  was  being  pro- 
uced,  we  opened  with  this  record.  Having 
lined  the  final  section  of  the  record,  we  held  it 
iitil  the  last  student  was  speaking;  then  by 
lading  in"  we  timed  it  so  that  the  final  bars 
1  the  number  could  be  brought  up  to  peak  just 
Iter  the  last  voice  finished.  The  students  were 
lost  happy. 

Anticipating  this  student  interest,  I  had  con- 
R  ted  friends  in  schools  of  the  Buffalo-Lacka- 
V  anna  -  North    Tonawanda,    New    York,    areas. 

I  use  teacher  friends  were  awaiting  the  tapes 
liich  arrived  by  mail.  The  teachers  arranged 

II  their  students  to  hear  our  students  speaking 
;i  French  and  telling  of  their  activities  (in  ad- 
htion  a  Spanish  recording  was  sent  for  Spanish 
htsses).  The  immediate  response  was:  "Why 
\in't  we  tell  them  what  we  are  doing?"  "You 
an"  was  the  answer,  and  the  whole  idea  turned 
nto  an  inter-school  working  project. 

For  students  in  western  New  York,  the  spin- 
ling  tapes  brought  a  first  hand  account  about 
,(Hig  Island,  its  activities,  expanding  economy, 
liorts  and  other  student  interests.  Here  was  op- 
)()rtunity  for  a  more  intimate  appreciation  of 
\hat  Long  Islanders  were  like,  what  they  did 
iiid  how  they  thought.  For  the  western  New 
■i Ork  teenager,  this  was  an  enjoyable  experience. 

I  lie  students  of  Long  Island,  on  the  other 
laiid,  learned  by  word  of  mouth  (in  French  or 
ipanish,  of  course)  just  what  went  on  in  the 
\iagara  Frontier.  They  learned  about  the  huge 
)()\\er  projects,  the  steel  mills,  the  area's  many 
ndustries— not  an  easy  task  to  translate  many  of 
hcse  items  into  a  foreign  language,  the  social 
ictivities  of  students  of  their  own  age,  sports, 
iionis  and  future  school  i^lans.  One  student  re- 
narked,  "what  an  easy  way  to  learn  social 
^tndies;  the  Niagara  Frontier  seems  real  to  me 
now."  This,  of  course,  made  the  social  studies 
teachers  happy,  and  at  the  same  time  the  foreign 
language  teacher  was  finding  less  difficulty  when 
^lll■  requested  correct  grammar  and  proper  in- 
I  lections  from  her  students. 

The  following  question  was  inevitable.  How 
to  expand  the  correspondence-tape  project  so 
that  students  might  talk  with  their  confreres  in 
other  areas  and  in  other  states?  I  contacted  sev- 
eral out-of-state  audiovisual  directors  with  whom 
I  was  acquainted  and,  at  state  and  national 
eonventions,  began  to  ask  others  whether  teach- 
ers and  students  of  their  school  might  be  inter- 
ested in  this  project.  The  response  was  the  same 
in  most  instances.  At  first  it  was  "Hmmmmm  . . . 
a  possibility!"  Then,  as  the  many  facets  of  the 
i(ha  caught  their  attention,  they  said  "Yes,  let's 
li>   it." 

Possibilities  of  sending  tapes  to  foreign  coun- 
tries was  a  natural  next  step  in  the  plans.  Almost 
I'Niryone  has  an  acquaintance  overseas.  For 
example,  I  contacted  a  former  co-worker  of  mine 
w  ho  was  teaching  in  Germany.  In  addition,  there 
v".  <  re  friends  in  colleges  of  foreign  countries  with 
\\lii)m  I  had  studied  at  a  university  summer 
session;  I  had  also  met  teachers  while  visiting 
in  Mexico.  Here  were  friendly  contacts  who 
proved  to  be  graciously  interested  in  the  tape 
project.  For  those  without  personal  contacts,  of 
eoinse,  there  always  is  the  local  embassy  of  the 


country  with  whose  students  a  teacher  may  wish 
to  direct  tape  correspondence. 

There  was  one  important  rule  we  learned  to 
keep  in  mind  while  making  tapes.  We  eliminated 
anything  which  directed  the  correspondence  to  a 
specific  destination  or  which  dated  the  tape— 
the  exception  of  course  was  the  singing  of  Christ- 
mas carols  and  similar  items  which  the  students 
liked  so  much  to  send  to  others  and  which  in 
turn  they  enjoyed  hearing  others  sing  in  the 
various  languages.  By  omitting  a  specific  destina- 
tion or  date  we  were  able  to  send  the  same  re- 
cordings to  several  locations.  We  found  that  we 
were  obliged  to  make  several  copies  of  such 
tapes  as  new  contacts  were  made. 

There  was  one  problem  in  contacting  students 
of  non-English  speaking  countries.  These  stu- 
dents presently  are  studying  English.  They  are 
not  particularly  interested,  therefore,  in  hearing 
their  own  language  from  other  students  —  al- 
though teachers  of  such  students  do  have  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  pointing  out  the  in- 
valuable aid  in  learning  better  one's  own  lan- 
guage merely  by  helping  to  correct  the  efforts 
of  one  who  is  just  learning  the  idiom. 

To  maintain  the  interest  of  these  students  of 
non-English  speaking  schools,  we  will  provide 
the  English  as  well  as  the  language  spoken  in 
that  country.  They  will  be  requested,  in  turn, 
to  send  their  news  or  information  in  their  own 
language  and  also  in  their  newly  learned  English. 

Thus  each  group  of  students  will  have  the 
opportunity  of  speaking  and  hearing  a  foreign 
language.  As  suggested  previously,  each  group 
hearing  its  native  language  also  would  benefit 
by  critical  attention  to  the  accent,  grammatical 
construction,  and  idiomatic  efforts  of  foreign 
students. 

Through  the  project,  therefore,  the  students 
have  been  learning  about  people,  how  they  live, 
what  and  how  they  think.  It  was  no  little  rev- 
elation for  growing  youngsters  to  learn  that 
many  problems  of  their  "tape-pals"  were  similar 
to  their  own,  that  strangers  could  cease  to  be 
strange,  and  could  be  friends  by  learning  to 
talk  with  one  another.  The  project  is  the  next 
best  thing  to  actually  visiting  these  people.

New  Lab  for  M.  I.  T. 


by  Joseph  R.  Applegate 


A  HE  development  of  language  laboratories 
can  be  traced  to  the  increasing  interest  of 
students  in  learning  to  speak,  as  well  as  to  read 
and  write,  foreign  languages.  In  order  to  use  and 
to  understand  the  spoken  language,  a  student 
must  have  more  practice  than  he  can  usually  get 
in  class.  The  size  of  the  class  often  severely  limits 
the  amount  of  time  available  to  each  student  for 
speaking  the  language  in  class.  For  this  reason, 
language  teachers  have  been  looking  for  ef- 
fective ways  of  increasing  the  amount  of  time 
available  to  students  for  practice  in  hearing  and 
using  a  foreign  language. 

The  mass  production  of  magnetic  recording 
devices  made  it  possible  to  install  recording  and 
listening  rooms  for  language  practice  in  many 
schools.  Although  these  did  provide  additional 
time  for  practice,  they  were  not  entirely  satis- 
factory. The  initial  cost  was  high,  and  mainte- 
nance was  expensive.  Furthermore,  the  students 
usually  had  to  manipulate  several  controls  in 
the  proper  sequence,  and  this  often  served  to 
distract  their  attention  from  the  more  important 
task  of  learning  the  foreign  language. 

One  of  the  reasons  for  the  lack  of  efficiency 
in  early  language  laboratories  was  the  fact  that 
the  equipment  used  was  not  designed  for  teach- 
ing but  for  other  uses.  To  correct  this  situation. 
Prof.  W.  N.  Locke,  head  of  the  department  of 
Modern  Languages  at  Massachusetts  Listitute  of 
Technology,  conducted  extensive  surveys  of  the 
needs  of  language  teachers.  Then  after  much 
consultation  with  electrical  engineers  he  pre- 
pared a  set  of  mechanical  and  electronic  specifi- 
cations  for  language  laboratory   equipment. 

The  first  installation  of  the  equipment  pre- 
pared according  to  those  specifications  was  in- 
stalled at  M.LT.  in  March,  1959.  This  was  the 
pilot  model  of  an  electronic  language  laboratory 
system,  the  Linguatrainer  (trade  name  for  the 
system  produced  by  General  Electronic  Labora- 
tories, Inc.,  Cambridge,  Mass.).  The  pilot  model 
consisted  of  14  student  positions;  the  system  at 
M.I.T.  has  now  been  expanded  to  a  30-position 
system. 

The  system  consists  of  three  major  compo- 
nents: the  student  booth,  the  teacher's  console 
and  the  remote-control  tape  unit.  The  sides  of 
each  booth  are  lined  with  fiberglas  covered  with 


Dr.  Applegate  is  a  member  of  the  department  of 
modern  languages  and  research  laboratory  of 
electronics  at  M.I.T.  The  work  of  the  research 
laboratory  is  supported  in  part  by  the  U.S. 
Aniiy  (Signal  Corps),  the  U.S.  Air  Force  (Of- 
fice of  Scientific  Research,  Air  Research  and 
Development  Command),  and  the  U.S.  Navy 
(Office  of  Naval  Research). 


masonite  pegboard  to  shut  out  extraneous  noise, 
and  the  front  panel  can  be  raised  to  provide 
greater  privacy  during  practice  sessions  or  lower- 
ed to  permit  the  student  to  see  the  front  of  the 
room  when  necessary.  The  only  moving  parts  in 
the  student's  booth  are  a  headset  consisting  of 
earphones  with  a  boom-mounted  microphone  at- 
tached, a  record-listen  switch,  and  a  volume- 
control  knob.  ( The  selection  of  the  recording  that 
a  student  is  to  hear  and  the  movement  of  tapes 
in  the  tape  recorder  are  controlled  by  the 
teacher. ) 

The  teacher's  console  contains  all  of  the  con- 
trols that  are  necessary  for  operating  the  system. 
From  the  console  the  teacher  can  start  and  stop 
tapes,  select  the  master-recording  that  a  student 
is  to  hear,  speak  to  the  class  as  a  group,  monitor 
individual  students,  and  speak  to  students  indi- 
vidually. The  reduction  of  controls  at  the  student 
position  to  a  minimum  results  in  a  substantial 
reduction  in  maintenance  costs.  Furthermore  it 
leaves  the  student  free  to  concentrate  on  the  taski 
of  learning  the  language  rather  than  on  manipu- 
lating various  controls. 

All  the  recording  and  playback  equipment  for 
the  system  is  contained  in  the  remote  control 
tape  unit  in  an  adjoining  room.  There  are  30 
dual  track  tape  recorders,  one  for  each  student 
position.  The  tapes  are  endless  loops  kept  in 
plastic  cartridge  tape  handlers.  The  use  of  end- 
less loops  eliminates  the  necessity  for  a  high 
speed  rewinding  mechanism.  This,  in  turn,  re- 
duces the  amount  of  damage  to  tapes,  for  most 
tape  breakage  and  spilling  occurs  when  the  tape 
is  moving  at  high  speed. 

Use  of  the  cartridge  tape  handler  also  elimi- 
nates the  necessity  of  threading  tapes  carefully 
across  the  recording  and  playback  heads.  The 
cartridge  is  merely  inserted  into  the  proper  slot, 
the  connecting  rod  is  pulled  out  to  press  the  tape 
between  a  roller  and  a  revolving  capstan,  and  the 
machine  is  ready  to  start. 

Eight  of  the  tape  recorders  in  the  system  are 
wired  so  that  recordings  on  the  upper  track  of 
tapes  in  those  machines  can  be  broadcast  to  any 
booth  in  the  system.  These  are  the  pla)'back 
machines  for  the  eight  master  channels.  In  ad- 
dition it  is  possible  to  have  each  student  hear 
the  upper  track  of  the  tape  that  is  in  his  own 
recorder.  There  are,  in  effect,  nine  master  chan- 
nels available  for  each  student  (except  those  in 
the  eight  positions  used  for  master  channels). 
Only  the  lower  track  of  a  tape  can  be  used  for 
student  recording.  This  arrangement  prevents 
accidental  erasure  of  a  master  recording. 

Before  the  beginning  of  a  lesson,  the  instructor 
inserts  the  master  ta^^e  for  his  class  into  one 
of    the   eight    master   positions.    Into    the   other

(Mits  come  into  the  room  they  take  their  places

n  ill  his  booth  and  in  the  small  rectangle  con- 
fining the  master  selector  switch  for  his  posi- 
ion  on  the  teacher's  console.  By  glancing  at  these 
ights  on  the  console,  the  teacher  can  see  that 

II  students  are  in  the  'Record'  position.  He  then 
Hishes  the  switch  that  starts  all  of  the  tapes, 
11(1  the  students  will  begin  to  hear  the  master- 
L'fording.  After  a  few  seconds  he  can  move  the 
top-start  switch  to  the  'Auto-Stop'  position  so 
luit  each  tape  will  stop  automatically  when  it 
■  aches  the  end. 


As  each  student  hears  the  master-recording 
through  his  earphones  a  copy  of  it  is  being  made 
on  the  lower  track  of  his  tape.  (Any  previous 
recording  on  this  track  is  automatically  erased 
as  this  is  done.)  During  the  pause  that  occurs 
on  the  tape  after  each  sentence  or  phrase,  the 
student  makes  an  appropriate  response,  which  is 
also  recorded  on  the  lower  track  of  his  tape. 

While  the  students  are  listening  and  recording, 
the  teacher  can  monitor  any  position  by  using 
the  talk-listen  switch  for  that  position  on  the 
teacher's  console.  When  he  pulls  the  switch  to- 
ward him,  he  hears  whatever  the  student  is 
hearing,  that  is,  the  master-recording  or  the 
student's  response.  If,  as  he  listens,  he  hears  a 
serious  mistake,  he  can  push  the  switch  in  the 
opposite  direction  and  speak  to  the  student 
individually.  If  the  student's  record-listen  switch 
is  at  'Record',  the  correction  or  comment  will 
also  be  recorded  on  the  student's  tape.

recording,  he  pulls  his  switch  back  to  'Listen'. 
The  i)ilot  light  in  his  booth  and  the  light  for 
his  position  on  the  teacher's  console  go  out.  If 
the  stop-start  switch  has  been  set  at  'Auto-Stop', 
each  tape  will  stop  automatically  when  the  end 
of  the  loop  is  reached.  In  order  to  start  the  next 
phase  of  the  lesson,  the  teacher  must  push  the 
switch  to  'Start'.  Before  he  does  this,  he  may 
make  comments  about  the  performances. 

During  the  next  phase,  each  student  hears  a 
playback  of  his  individual  recording,  which  in- 
cludes a  copy  of  the  master-recording,  his  re- 
sponses, and  any  comments  made  by  the  teacher. 
As  he  listens,  he  can  compare  his  responses  with 
the  master-recording  and  note  any  discrepancies. 
He  can  evaluate  his  responses  by  using  the 
criteria  supplied  by  the  teacher,  thereby  recog- 
nizing his  own  mistakes.  The  instructor  can  also 
monitor  during  this  phase  of  the  lesson  and  speak 
to  any  student  individually,  as  before,  but  his 
comments  will  not  be  recorded.  When  all  tapes 
have  stopped,  the  instructor  can  have  the  stu- 
dents repeat  the  cycle  or  he  can  conduct  the  rest 
of  the  lesson  as  he  would  in  an  ordinary  class- 


room. 


The  system  is  very  flexible,  as  one  can  see  from 
the  description  given  above.  Additional  flexi- 
bility is  provided  by  an  auxiliary  input  jack  that 
makes  it  possible  to  connect  a  standard  tape 
recorder,  record  player,  radio,  or  sound  track 
of  a  motion  picture  to  the  system.  The  laboratory 
may  also  be  used  by  the  students  for  practice 
sessions.  In  this  case,  each  of  the  eight  master 
channels  can  be  used  for  a  different  master-re- 
cording, so  that  eight  groups  can  work  simultane- 
ously. A  number  of  students  can  work  on  indi- 
vidual assignments  at  the  same  time. 

This  system  is  the  result  of  careful  study  of 
the  special  requirements  that  an  electronic  lan- 
guage laboratory  system  must  meet.  While  it  is 
true  that  the  Linguatrainer  comes  closer  to  satis- 
fying these  needs  than  many  other  sytems,  more 
research  is  needed.  One  of  the  problems  that 
requires  special  attention  is  that  of  determining 
the  optimum  frequency  response  of  language 
laboratory  equipment.  Work  in  speech  percep- 
tion of  speech  transmitted  over  voice  communi- 
cation has  shown  that  perception  of  speech  trans- 
mitted over  voice  communication  systems  is  af- 
fected by  the  bandwidth  of  the  system."  As  the 
higher  frequencies  are  eliminated,  the  speech 
becomes  less  intelligible;  that  is,  there  is  more 
confusion  of  one  sound  with  another  because  in- 
formation necessary  for  identification  of  certain 
features  has  been  eliminated.  Furthermore  it  is 
possible  to  determine  at  what  frequency  levels 
various  phonetic  features  disappear. 

Heretofore  almost  all  of  the  work  on  speech 
perception  has  been  done  with  subjects  who  were 
native  speakers  of  the  language  that  was  trans- 
mitted. In  language  laboratories,  we  are  not  con- 
cerned with  the  perception  of  contrasts  in  speech 
by  native  speakers.  It  is  possible,  therefore,  that 


"A  more  detailed  discussion  of  some  of  these 
problems  can  be  found  in  An  Analysis  of  Per- 
ceptual Confusions  Among  Some  English  Con- 
sonants, George  A.  Miller  and  Patricia  Nicely, 
lournal  of  the  Acoustical  Society  of  America, 
Vol.  27,  No.  2,  pp.  338-352,  March  19.55. 


The  remote  control  tape  unit.  This  instru- 
ment, kept  in  an  adjoining  room,  contains 
30  dual  track  tape  recorders. 


the  results  of  previous  studies  are  not  applicable 
to  the  determination  of  electronic  specifications 
for  language  laboratory  equipment.  A  non-native 
speaker  may  need  more  information  in  order  to 
identify  sounds  than  does  the  native  speaker.  It 
is  probably  true,  however,  that  even  for  non- 
native  speakers,  increasing  the  bandwidth  be- 
yond a  certain  point  does  little  to  reduce  the 
confusion  of  one,  sound  with  another.  The  prob- 
'  lem  in  designing  language  laboratory  equip- 
ment is  therefore  to  define  the  optimum  band- 
width for  the  system. 

It  is  easy  to  see  that  this  problem  is  important, 
for  high  fidelity  equipment  is  expensive.  But  if 
such  equipment  is  necessary  for  effective  learn- 
ing, money  spent  for  less  expensive  systems  that 
do  not  i^rovide  an  adequate  frequency  response 
is  wasted.  Because  of  its  importance,  an  investiga- 
tion of  the  problem  has  been  started  at  M.I.T. 
The  research,  supported  by  a  grant  from  Educa- 
tional Facilities  Laboratories,  a  Ford  Foundation 
agency,  will  be  conducted  over  a  two-year  period 
by  the  author.  It  is  the  first  step  in  the  develop- 
ment of  a  research  program  which,  it  is  hoped, 
will  continue  to  test  the  application  of  recent 
advances  in  linguistic  theory  to  the  special  prob- 
lems of  language  teaching.

The  Voice  of  Silence 


by  Harry  J.  Skornia 


These  notes  are  based  upon  an  article  I 
read  in  the  Cahier  d'Etudes  de  Radio-Tele- 
vision, Volume  20,  published  by  Flammarion 
for  Radiodiffusion-Television  Francaise. 

The  article  is  by  Jean  Claude  Piguet.  It  is 
entitled  simple  "Le  Silence."  M.  Piguet  points 
out  that  in  all  teaching  situations  there  are 
really  three  voices  at  work:  the  voice  of  the 
teacher,  the  voice  of  the  student,  and  in  the 
silences,  the  voice  of  the  subject  under  dis- 
cussion—truth. Just  as  white  space  is  essen- 
tial in  art  or  print,  in  sound  communication 
silence  is  essential  to  learning,  appreciation, 
understanding,  the  making  of  decisions,  the 
comprehension  of  meaning. 

It  is  difficult  for  some  teachers  to  realize- 
especially  the  ones  who  want  to  talk  con- 
tinuously on  a  television  program— that  the 
objective  of  the  program,  in  fact,  the  role  of 
the  teacher,  is  not  to  teach,  but  to  help  others 
learn.  Teachers'  words,  which  sometimes  seem 
to  flow  compulsively,  play  only  a  part  of  the 
role  or  function  demanded  in  the  learning 
process.  Visuals,  and  frankly  silence,  have 
equally  important  roles  to  play. 

We  have  lids  on  our  eyes.  We  can  blink 
out  visual  distractions  and  images.  We  have 
none  on  our  ears.  In  the  bombardment  now 
occurring,  in  which  the  noise  level  of  our 
mass  media,  industry,  advertising,  are  pitched 
a  tincreasing  higher  volume  and  tone,  the 
turn-off  switch  has  to  be  'farther  up  the  line' 
—in  the  mind.  Unfortunately  we're  likely  to 
find  it  turned  off  at  times  when  it  should  be 
on.  Then  we  say  "What  did  you  say?"  or  we 
ju.st  skip  it. 

To  return  to  the  article:  M.  Piguet  points 
out  that  the  truth  'heard'  in  the  silence  is  not 
any  one  person's  truth,  but  truth  as  an  invisi- 
ble spirit.  In  Quaker  meetings  there  are  great 
blocks  of  silence.  But  this  doesn't  mean  noth- 
ing is  happening.  I  personally  believe  that 
more  happens  to  the  individual  concerned  in 
a  meaningful,  worshipful  sense  than  would 
have  occurred  in  another  service  in  which 
silence  has  been  reduced  to  a  minimum.  This 
calm  communion  of  spirit  to  spirit  that  silence 
can  bring  is  much  too  infrequent  in  today's 
world. 

In  music,  sounds  and  tones  sparsely  strewn 
on  a  desert  of  silence  have  a  special  effect. 
Comparable  effects  are  possible  in  poetry. 
Music,  without  silences  and  pauses,  would 
not  be  music.  (And  much  of  course  isn't,  now- 


adays!) But  the  silence  which  surrounds  dis- 
course or  music  should  not  be  confused  with 
the  silence  which  either  can  include. 

Such  included  silences  are  not  the  absence 
but  the  presence  of  an  essential  part  of  the 
dialogue,  the  communication,  the  work  itself. 
The  pauses  and  silence  of  a  great  speaker  are 
sometimes  the  most  effective  parts  of  his 
speech.  Sometimes  more  can  occur  in  lis- 
teners' minds  during  those  silences  than  dur- 
ing the  shouting  and  emphasis  we  normally 
think  of  as  'the  speech'.  In  the  written  word, 
punctuation  and  white  space  play  the  role 
of  silence. 

Mass  media  in  the  United  States  have  ac- 
complished one  thing:  by  blaring  example 
they  have  convinced  too  many  people  that 
silence  is  something  to  be  abhorred.  Like 
sohtude,  silence  has  become  socially  unac- 
ceptable. Our  children  study  with  radios  or 
records  blasting  at  fuU  volume.  After  hearing 
a  challenging  program,  which  we  should  then 
think  over,  we  instead  yield  to  the  urge  not 
to  miss  the  next  one.  With  one  idea  driven 
out  by  the  next,  we  rarely  settle  down  to 
silent  concentration.  The  'third  voice',  the 
voice  of  the  subject  or  problem,  is  never 
heard.  Our  mind  is  kept  floating  on  the  sur- 
face of  problems  and  never  has  the  silence 
and  concentration  needed  to  really  explore 
or  probe  them.  Great  documentaries  on  radio 
and  television  should  be  followed  by  enforced 
silence. 

There  is  much  to  learn  from  oriental  philos- 
ophies and  religions.  We  could  well  begin  to 
learn  that  silence  is  not  only  useful  but  es- 
sential. The  constructive  and  the  sublime  alike 
are  generally  created  out  of  silence  and  con- 
templation. Not  out  of  filling  each  waking 
moment  with  talk,  noise,  tranquiUzers,  late 
movies.  Westerns,  and  'thrills'  which  each 
year  lose  their  bite  for  lack  of  'white  space.' 

M.  Piguet  points  out  that  to  be  silent  is 
not  only  not  to  talk.  It  is  to  allow  reality  to 
come  to  us.  For  man  is  a  very  special  creature. 

Do  we  as  teachers  and  communicators  and 
those  who  have  the  power  and  responsibility 
to  stimulate  thought— do  we  have  the  courage 
to  help  create  silence  for  those  who  would 
learn?  Do  we  dare  to  create  more  silence 
within  our  communications,  and  to  provide 
an  environmental  setting  of  silence  to  sur- 
round our  sounds?  Can  we  discover  the  ef- 
fectiveness of  the  blank  screen  and  dead  air? 
Can  we  let  the  voice  of  silence  speak?

'ILLS  father  is  president  of  a  machine  to

a  small  retail  store,  Jan's  is  a  lawyer,  Dan's  is 
Democratic  committeeman,  Joe's  is  on  the  tow 
council,  Anne's  is  an  importer,  Ted's  is  a  banl 
teller  and  Jim's,  a  policeman.  What  a  wealth  ( 
information  and  experience  there  is  here— far  b( 
yoiid  the  ken  of  teachers,  textbooks,  or  scho( 
library  facilities!  Yet  this  is  but  a  fraction  of  tl- 
knowledge  held  by  the  parents  of  any  seiiii 
class.  Too  seldom  is  it  tapped  for  the  coursi 
where  such  enrichment  is  appropriate. 

In  Glen  Ridge  High  School  our  twelfth  grac; 
social  studies  course  consists  of  five  months  ( 
economic  theory,   together  with  American   cci 
nomic  history.  For  the  rest  of  the  year,  we  stud 
United  States  government.  Such  a  course  ncci 
to  be  related  to  reality  insofar  as  possible.  D- 
vices  such  as  the  school  bank.  Junior  Achii 
ment,  the  Student  Council  and  Court  are  helpi 
activities  but  they  are,  at  best,  only  facsimili( 
Even  if  well  developed,  they  remain  a  kind  ( 
play-acting  far  removed  from  the  actual  exper 
ence  of  a  man  who  spends  his  whole  time  at 
business  or  profession. 

All  of  us  try  to  use  this  knowledge.  "Ask  yoij  j 
dad  what  he  thinks.  Jack.  He'll  know  from  hij 
work  at  the  bank,"  is  a  common  way  to  do  i  | 
Having  Jack's  father  come  to  talk  to  the  clas 
would  be  the  best  way  were  it  not  for  the  diff 
culty  of  fitting  it  in  his  busy  schedule.  The  tap 
recorded  interview  has  been  used  with  great  sue 
cess,  but  it  involves  getting  equipment,  student: 
and  interviewer  together  and  will  sometimes  ki 
several  hours  of  a  man's  time.  Most  parents  ar 
very  gracious  and  willing  to  help  when  approacl ; 
ed  by  the  students,  but  it  seems  an  imposition  1 1 
request  a  lot  of  preparation.  j 

"Let's  call  him  on  our  phone"  is  our  method.  ]  I 
has  resulted  in  spontaneity,  convenience,  and 
wider  use  of  a  classroom  telephone,  an  amplifie 
which  enables  the  class  to  hear  the  convcrsatior 
two  jacks,  an  office  switch  which  cuts  us  in  t 
one  of  the  central  office  telephone  lines,  a  "beep 
er,"  and  a  tape  recorder  if  other  classes  are  t 
hear  the  conversation  later. 

The  total  installation  charge  was  $36.90  an 
the  monthly  charge  $6.55.  The  latter  figure  coulc 
be  reduced  to  $4.55  if  it  were  possible  to  mak 
one  of  the  office  phones  portable.  Toll  charge 
are  kept  at  a  minimum.  On  the  whole,  the  cost  i 
reasonable  in  relation  to  results. 

Whenever  possible  those  interviewed  are  par 
ents.  A  poll  of  class  members  on  the  subject  o 
parent  occupations  must  be  taken  early  in  th 
year.  It  requires  some  probing  to  get  useful  ans 
wers.  A  student  may  simply  say  "foreman"  and 
if  prodded  will  add  "in  the  Excel  Company. 
Yet  what  the  company  makes,  plus  other  details 
must  be  known  to  make  the  picture  clear. 

Sometimes  there  is  no  parent  who  meets  thi 
requirements.  We  had  none  who  were  Congress 
men,  or  state  legislators,  or  labor  leaders.  Ye 
classes  wished  to  phone  these  men.  Letters  fron 
students  brought  quick  response  in  every  case 
even  from  strangers,  and  the  dates  were  set. 

Usually  a  specific  time  is  planned  in  advanct

\  itli  the  person  we  wish  to  interview.  How  con- 
(11  lent  this  arrangement  is  for  him  is  often  illus- 
rated.  "But  I  couldn't  possibly  come  to  the 
cliool  at  2  o'clock  Monday.  I  have  a  management 
nci'ting  at  2:30.  .  .  Oh,  you  mean  just  over  the 
)li()ne  from  my  own  desk?  That  presents  no 
)r()blem.  I'll  be  glad  to  do  it." 

A  few,  who  somehow  believe  high  school  stu- 
Iciits  might  embarrass  them  by  their  questions, 
ire  a  bit  reluctant  at  first  and  ask  for  samples. 
Alien  it  is  apparent  from  these  that  they  will  be 
iskod  only  for  their  opinions  and  the  knowledge 
gained  from  their  experience,  none  hesitate. 

Our  calls  are  made  only  when  directly  related 
()  the  unit  at  hand.  We  have  never  called  anyone 
\  ithout  prior  study  of  the  matter  since  our  need 
or  an  interview  is  a  product  of  that  study.  The 
iiterviewer,  who  is  always  a  student,  must  be 
ainiliar  enough  with  the  subject  to  discuss  it  in- 
clligently.  Questions  have  been  submitted  by 
ncnibers  of  the  class  and  sifted  by  a  committee 
11  advance. 

Consequently  they  may  be  penetrating.  "Is  sub- 
iininal  advertising  morally  defensible?"  caused 
I  .iood  deal  of  hedging  by  an  advertising  man. 
Do  vou  approve  of  the  Federal  Reserve's  tight 
iioiiey  policy?"  gave  us  a  thoughtful  answer  from 
I  t)anker. 

Questions  inevitably  include  the  naive,  too. 
What  do  you  have  to  do  to  start  a  small  busi- 
icss?"  brought  a  laugh  from  a  retail  store  owner 
aIio  said,  "Well,  son,  I'd  say  the  first  thing  is  to 
4(1  a  loan."  "Can  you  get  rich  in  penny  stocks?" 
(■suited  in  a  lengthy  warning  from  a  broker  who 
^|^■prised  them  with  the  information  that  his  firm 
.\ill  not  buy  unlisted  stocks  selling  for  less  than 
i2.()()  for  any  customer. 

In  addition  to  prepared  questions,  spontaneous 
)iics   arc   encouraged.   As   the   conversation   de- 


velops, the  interviewer  should  not  stick  too  close- 
ly to  his  plan.  Quite  naturally  an  answer  may 
draw  impromptu  questions  from  the  interviewer, 
other  members  of  the  class,  or  the  teacher. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  through  this  device  stu- 
dent horizons  were  broadened.  Their  eyes  were 
big  as  they  heard  the  vice-president  of  a  com- 
pany with  resources  of  over  $14  billion  speak  of 
anything  up  to  $6  million  as  a  "small  loan"  and 
say  they  keep  about  $200  million  in  the  bank 
"just  to  run  the  company"  from  day  to  day. 

The  school  superintendent  was  asked  to  ex- 
plain why  the  price  of  milk  in  our  cafeteria  is  at 
its  present  level  and  what  the  cost  of  a  new  gym- 
nasium would  be  per  family  tax  bill. 

To  "Is  advertising  worth  all  the  money  spent?" 
the  reply  started  with  "I  prefer  to  use  the  word 
invested"  and  went  on  to  present  a  viewpoint 
novel  to  them. 

When  an  importer  talked  casually  of  tramp 
steamers,  African  and  Asian  ports,  average 
elapsed  time  from  order  to  delivery,  and  how 
Belgian  steel  wire  can  undersell  American,  he 
spoke  a  magic  tongue. 

They  were  intent  as  a  Congressman  told  of  his 
typical  day,  of  the  favors  his  constituents  expect, 
and  how  much  his  mail  influences  his  actions.  It 
was  to  be  expected  that  he  would  take  the  chance 
to  speak  of  their  responsibilities  as  future  voters 
just  as  an  insurance  broker  took  the  reckless  teen- 
age driver  to  task  in  discussing  rate  making. 

Though  still  in  the  experimental  stage,  our 
phone  has  been  a  success.  It  has  stimulated  stu- 
dent interest,  varied  routine,  helped  to  bridge 
the  gap  between  books  and  experience,  and  util- 
ized parental  talents  with  minimum  effort.  If 
such  a  device  is  used  with  discrimination,  its 
potential  is  limited  only  by  the  imagination  of 
teacher  and  students.

rhree  separate  requests  for  assist- 
:.ie,  but  the  invitations  were  remark- 
!il\  similar!  The  librarian  who  called 
!i(l.  "We  are  inaugurating  a  program 
I  lending  records  to  our  patrons.  We 
red  advice  on  both  equipment  for 
111  use  here  and  on  the  selection  of 
(lords  for  our  loan  collection.  Can 
nil  help  us?" 

The  school  superintendent  wrote. 
We  are  looking  for  someone  who  can 
pend  some  time  with  us  and  help  us 
understand  the  place  of  tape  recorders 
tnd  phonographs  in  instruction.  We 
jire  particularly  interested  in  the  needs 
j)f  our  gifted  children.  Can  vou  help 

IS?" 

The  teacher  training  specialist  said, 
fWe  must  expand  the  audio  aspects 
!)f  our  audiovisual  program.  But  we 
lave  a  minimum  background  of  in- 
ormation  and  we  don't  know  where 
ve  can  seek  aid.  Can  you  help  us?" 

The  invitations  were  remarkably 
like— we  need  help!  The  imphed 
juestion  was  not  "Can  you  help  us?" 
)Ut  rather  "tuiU  you  help  us  —  and 
vhat  do  you  propose  to  do?" 

It  is  not  strange  that  the  answers 
vere  equally  parallel— "Yes!"  And  it 
s  not  strange,  either,  that  the  pro- 
)osed  activity  in  each  instance  in- 
/olved  more  listening  than  talking, 
nore  experimentation  than  explora- 
ion. 

I  The  Library 

The  visit  to  the  library  was  pleasant 
but  very  brief.  We  spent  an  evening 
with  the  librarian,  her  assistant  and 
several  members  of  a  local  board  rep- 
resenting communit\'  organizations. 
We  carried  just  a  few  samples:  an 
inexpensive  phonograph,  a  pair  of 
commercial  headphones  and  a  heavy 
armful  of  records. 

We  started  the  evening  by  mention- 
ing that  great  varieties  of  non-musical 
recordings  are  available  for  library 
collections.  We  reminded  our  friends 
in  the  library  that  poetry  was  avail- 
able in  tremendous  quantity,  plus 
drama,  historical  events  and  re-en- 
actments, stories  read  'word-for-word' 
as  well  as  stories  presented  dramat- 
ically. Then  we  introduced  the  idea  of 
library  collections  of  language  record- 
ings for  home  study  enthusiasts.  Going 
a  bit  afield  from  the  purely  spoken  re- 
cord there  are  a  number  of  American 


folk-song  recordings  as  well  as  other 
folk-song  recordings  from  all  over  the 
world. 

In  response  to  a  question  about  the 
publishers  we  informed  the  group  the 
records  were  produced  by  well-known 
as  well  as  lesser-known  producers. 
There  was,  for  instance,  the  compara- 
tively new  JB  (RCA  Victor  LD  6075) 
and  the  much  older  and  yet  delight- 
ful Death  of  A  Salesman  (Dacca  DX- 
102)  and  John  Brown's  Body  (Colum- 
bia SL  181).  Lesser-known  producers 
have  offered  School  for  Scandal 
(Angel  3542-5S)  and  Merchant  of 
Venice  (Caedmon  2013).  And  then 
there  are  such  recordings  as  Ibsen's 
Hedda  Gabler  (Theatre  3)  and  the 
Hamlet  produced  by  Word  Record- 
ings. 

We  went  further,  and  talked  of 
some  independent  producers  who  offer 
small  but  very  select  catalogs.  These 
included  Lexington  and  such  book 
publishers  as  Harcourt,  Brace. 

"But,"  we  were  asked,  "aren't  these 
all  adult  recordings?"  We  admitted 
they  were,  but  pointed  to  the  record- 
ings of  stories  for  children— straight 
readings  with  appropriate  musical 
backgrounds— produced  by  Weston 
Woods,  the  simple  poetry  for  the 
younger  group  in  the  Harcourt,  Brace 
catalog  of  recordings,  the  tremendous 
literature  produced  by  major  pro- 
ducers already  cited,  and  other  pro- 
ducers including  Disneyland,  M-G-M, 
Capitol  and  more. 

We   made   special   mention   of  the 


broad  offering  included  in  the  Folk- 
ways catalog,  which  covers  all  the 
areas  mentioned  and  others  as  well. 

We  stressed  the  audio  contributions 
of  Enrichment  Materials  not  only  to 
classroom  instruction  but  to  library 
listening  programs  and  to  home  hsten- 
ing.  We  mentioned  the  National  Asso- 
ciation of  Broadcasters  and,  to  give 
adequate  attention  to  the  records,  we 
introduced  side  1  of  their  album  The 
Ways  of  Mankind.  Side  1  is  subtitled 
"A  Word  in  Your  Ear"  and  discusses 
in  detail  the  functions  of  language. 

We  didn't  talk  much  after  that  be- 
cause our  friends  wanted  to  listen  to 
spoken  records.  And  they  did.  They 
sampled  many  of  the  records  already 
mentioned  and  more  from  the  catalogs 
of  Spoken  Arts,  Caedmon,  Period, 
Spoken  Word  and  others.  To  cap  the 
evening  we  offered  the  idea  that 
libraries  could  become  important  rec- 
ord producers. 

My  friends  were  skeptical.  They 
viewed  their  own  facilities  and 
thought  this  impossible.  But  we  told  of 
Yale  University's  new  venture  in  offer- 
ing many  records  of  modem  American 
poets  reading  their  own  works.  And 
then  we  suggested  that  they  listen  to 
a  bit  of  what  the  Clements  Library  at 
the  University  of  Michigan  had  al- 
ready done,  and  we  played  a  side  of 
Voices  of  the  American  Revolution  for 
them. 

The  one  hour  meeting  broke  up- 
after  two  hours- only  because  the  li- 
brary had  already  closed  and  the 
building  superintendent  wanted  to  get 
home.  But  as  we  left,  one  of  the 
participants  remarked,  "You've  opened 
up  a  whole  new  world  for  us." 

Visiting  the  Teachers 

Visiting  the  teachers  was  quite  dif- 
ferent. To  begin  with,  we  carried  no 
equipment.  The  school  supphed  it  all.

In  the  second  place,  we  needed  a 
battery  of  machines— not  just  one— 
and  ample  room  so  that  several  groups 
could  listen  at  one  time  and  so  that 
a  much  greater  variety  of  materials 
might  be  demonstrated. 

Further,  literally,  we  had  all  day. 
We  were  shown  into  a  large  room,  a 
classroom  and  a  half  in  size,  and  in 
addition  to  the  usual  classroom  furni- 
ture there  were  tables  for  showing 
records,  a  number  of  strategically 
placed  record  players  and  a  supply  of 
chairs  for  those  who  might  be  visiting. 

In  addition  teachers  of  neighboring 
schools  had  been  invited  to  participate 
'after  hours'.  We  not  only  had  'all  day' 
but  we  had  all  day  to  be  busy. 

Teachers  having  free  periods  would 
wander  in  and  ask  about  records  for 
particular  study  areas,  for  particular 
smaller  groups,  plus  questions  about 
particular  items.  We  had  a  variety  of 
records— the  variety  which  has  been 
reported  in  these  columns  over  a 
period  of  more  than  ten  years. 

The  language  teachers  were  espe- 
cially interested  for  they  were  facing 
increased  challenges  and  increased 
opportunities.  What  have  you  in 
Spanish  (or  French)  for  the  elemen- 
tary grades?  Is  there  anything  to  go 
with  this  textbook,  or  that  one?  Are 
there  any  French  plays  on  records? 
How  about  French  poetry,  is  there 
any?  My  children  want  to  hear  some 
French  children's  songs.  Have  you 
any?  My  brighter  students  need  ad- 
ditional challenge;  can  records  help 
them? 

Of  course  the  answer  to  most  of 
these  questions  is  'yes.'  And  in  many 
instances  the  records  were  on  the  table 
for  these  teachers  to  see,  to  handle,  to 
audit  and  appraise,  to  ask  their  audio- 
visual director  to  buy.  For  elementary 
school  languages  we  could  show  the 
product  of  three  companies  with 
assurance  that  they  would  be  usable. 


These  companies  are  Ottenheimer,  Mc- 
Graw-Hill and  Encyclopaedia  Britan- 
nica.  The  latter  two  offer  both  records 
and  coordinated  filmstrips,  the  former 
records  and  coodinated  work  books. 

Teachers  seeking  records  to  go  with 
textbooks  were  referred  to  Oxford 
University  Press,  Appleton-Century- 
Crofts,  Houghton-Mifflin  and  Com- 
pany, Ginn  and  Company,  Henry  Holt 
and  D.  C.  Heath.  French  plays  and 
poetry,  recorded,  are  available  from  a 
great  variety  of  sources  including  the 
major  companies  mentioned  earlier, 
some  of  the  less  well-known  com- 
panies and  others  including  Period 
Music  and  the  Spanish  Music  Center. 

Teachers  seeking  stimulus  for 
advanced  language  students  as  well  as 
additional  information  for  gifted  stu- 
dents were  referred  to  such  producers 
as  Wilmac  and  the  many  producers 
of  self-study  language  courses  includ- 
ing RCA  Victor,  Columbia,  Decca, 
Cortina  Academy,  Berlitz,  Lingua- 
phone,  Funk  and  Wagnalls,  Folkways 
and  Educational  Services. 

These  was  plenty  for  the  language 
people,  and  the  English  teachers  were 
similiarly  delighted  with  what  they 
found.  One  borrowed  the  NAEB  A 
Word  in  Your  Ear  to  present  to  his 
senior  class.  Another  begged  for  A 
Tale  of  Two  Cities  (Decca  DL  90.59) 
because  her  class  was  just  reading  it. 
We,  of  course,  were  delighted  to 
oblige,  and  let  another  teacher  borrow 
A  Man  Without  A  Country  (Decca 
DL  8020)  for  immediate  presentation 
to  her  students. 

The  history  and  social  studies  teach- 
ers were  delighted  to  find  audio 
materials  to  aid  them  in  their  efforts 
to  strengthen  instruction  in  a  variety 
of  areas.  Enrichment  Materials,  Folk- 
ways, Columbia,  Coral  and  other 
labels  were  there  for  them  to  see  and 
hear.  There  were  three  reactions,  all 
positive.  Teachers  expressed  their  in-

terest  by  saying  "I  could  use  this  ne:j 
week,"  or  "If  we  owned  this  record  [ 
could  use  it  right  now,"  (they  borrovl 
ed  it  for  'right  now')  and  "I  wish  w 
had  had  this  last  week." 

The  music  instruction  people  wci 
looking  for  mu.sical  performance  an 
found  none.  But  they  found  excerp 
galore  in  the  recordings  intended  f( 
music  instruction  and  designed  to  ii 
troduce  the  instruments  and  the  o 
chestra  to  students.  They  didn't  kno 
that  so  much  was  available.  ParticuLi 
ly  they  liked  recordings  by  Jam  Hand 
(with  filmstrips)  and  the  Musi 
Education  Record  Corporation. 

As  the  day  progressed  considerabl 
attention  was  given  to  the  needs  of  th 
gifted  students  who  had  both  th 
talent  and  the  capacity  to  study  alone 
Much  conversation  was  given  over  t 
talk  about  their  interests  and  need: 
to  opportunities  available  to  them  fc 
particiJar  enrichment  through  lister 
ing  to  recordings  by  Audio  Educatior 
Caedmon,  Spoken  Arts,  Spoken  Wore 
Folkways  and  other  publishers.  Ther 
were  the  students  who  could  'go  i 
alone'  if  the  material  was  available 
And  the  teachers  discovered  that  i 
was— on  records— and  could  be  mad 
available  for  small  group  listening  a 
well  as  for  individual  audit. 

We  could  only  stay  the  day  ant 
could  not  immediately  assess  results 
We  felt  that  enthusiasm  had  beei 
generated.  We  did  not  anticipate  thi 
ultimate  reaction.  Our  host,  the  schoo 
superintendent,  wrote  us  some  week; 
later  that  it  was  all  very  fine  "excep 
for  the  fact  that  next  year  I  will  havf 
to  increase  my  audiovisual  budget  tc 
include  much  more  for  recordings.' 
He  added  that  he  considered  this  "atr 
easily  defensible  budget  item." 

And  once  again  the  wealth  of  ma 
terials  on  records,  the  impact  of  heari 
ing  even  a  bit  of  it,  had  carried  the 
day  and  won  a  new  following. 

At  the  Teachers  College 

Our  task  at  the  college  for  teachers 
was  double-barrelled.  We  not  only  had 
to  discuss  with  the  faculty  audio  con- 
tributions to  college  instruction  but  we 
had  to  demonstrate  records  for  the 
undergraduates. 

In  order  to  satisfy  the  latter  need 
we  set  up  an  audition  room  similar  to 
that  described  for  our  visit  with  teach- 
ers. Because  this  college  dealt  with 
the  preparation  of  elementary  school 
teachers  particularly,  we  carefully  in- 
cluded in  our  traveling  collection  rec- 
ords from  Stratco,  Weston  Woods, 
Bowmar,  Young  Peoples  Records,  the 
Childrens  Record  Guild,  Audio  Edu- 
cation and  other  producers  already 
cited.  This  room  was  left  in  the  charge

)l  the  students,  and  they  conducted 
heir  own  listening  laboratory  without 
upervision. 

I-"or  our  meeting  with  the  faculty 
A  (•  had  included  some  more  adult  re- 
I  iiding  by  major  and  minor  producers. 
In  the  meeting  with  the  faculty  we 
^ungested  a  tri-faceted  audio  program 
ii\()lving  tlie  instructional  use  of  re- 
iiidings,  experimental  use  of  elemen- 
:;iiy  recorded  materials  and  a  leisure 
listening  program  revolving  around 
tlic  college  library. 

We  pointed  to  many  recordings 
^llitable  to  college  instruction.  Among 
ilitse  were  The  Jeffersonian  Heritage 
X.itional  Association  of  Educational 
iiroadcasters),  The  Ways  of  Mankind 
(NAEB)  and  the  NAEB's  People 
Under  Cojumunism.  We  stressed 
the  great  variety  of  fine  reading  of 
prose  and  poetry  as  well  as  the  gamut 
of  literary  and  historical  recordings 
available.  We  pointed  out  that  such 
recordings  can  be  effectively  used  in 
appropriate  segments  for  group  listen- 
ing and  in  larger  segments  by  individ- 
uals listening  alone. 

The  materials  on  display  in  the  im- 
p  r  o  v  i  s  e  d  listening  laboratory  were 
mentioned  and  discussed  in  terms  of 
sample  lessons,  examples  of  good 
procedures,  demonstrations  of  per- 
formance and  careful  selection  of 
material  for  the  intended  audience. 
Simplicity,  so  essential  in  the  child's 
recording,  was  stressed. 

In  addition  to  a  somewhat  easy-go- 
ing leisure  listening  program  recom- 
mended for  the  library,  which  would 
include  many  of  the  discs  already 
mentioned,  Broadway  shows,  show 
tunes  and  selected  popular  and  classi- 
cal music,  we  pointed  up  a  formal  pro- 
gram which  libraries  could  readily 
undertake.  This  would  involve  select- 
ed readings  and  perfonnances  spot- 
lighting either  the  author  or  the  per- 
former. 

Thus  there  could  be  special  pro- 
grams involving  the  works  of  Millay, 
Longfellow,  Tennyson,  Keats,  Shelley, 
Shakespeare  and  many  other  writers. 
Indeed,  we  pointed  out  that  programs 
could  be  evolved  to  deal  with  Ameri- 
can writers,  English  writers.  Roman- 
ticists, Elizabethan  writers  and  so 
forth.  The  variety  is  broad. 

Then  we  added  to  this  the  im- 
portance of  the  artist.  An  evening  of 
readings  by  Orson  Welles,  Boris  Kar- 
loff,  Siobhan  M  c  K  e  n  n  a,  Walter 
Starkie,  S.  J.  Perclman,  Dr.  Frank 
Baxter  and  many  others.  A  broad  pro- 
gram of  audio  appreciation  involving 
the  spoken  word  lies  immediately 
within  the  grasp  of  every  library  and 
this  was  stressed  both  as  an  op- 
portunity and  as  a  responsibility. 

And,  as  is  inevitable,  we  anticipated 
and  had  the  .satisfaction  of  introducing 


these  aspects  of  education  to  under- 
graduates. 

To  these  students  approaching  their 
responsibilities  as  teachers  we  could 
point  out  the  advantages  and  dis- 
advantages of  tape  and  disc  record 
players  as  well  as  of  recorders.  We 
discussed  the  typical  uses  they  could 
make  of  these  machines  in  instruction 
and  in  remedial  work  in  speech,  music 
and  reading.  We  went  on  to  point  out 
the  many  apphcations  of  such  equip- 
ment in  speech  and  language  arts  in- 
struction programs,  in  creative  work, 
in  physical  education  and  in  other 
aspects  of  the  elementary  school  in- 
structional program. 

We  challenged  these  new  teachers 
to  be  their  own  best  friends  and  most 
demanding  critics.  We  suggested  to 
them  that  they  set  a  tape  recorder  in 
their  classrooms  and  actually  record 
a  period  of  instruction  directed  by 
themselves  so  that  each  could  hear 
himself  and  herself  as  a  teacher  and 
could  then  analyze  and  appraise  in- 
dividual strengths  and  weaknesses. 
This— self  recording  and  self  evalua- 
tion—may be  one  of  the  most  neglect- 
ed areas  of  teacher  training. 

One  student  teacher  raised  the  in- 
teresting question  of  the  function  of 
the  recording  in  tantalizing  and  de- 
veloping imagination.  This  student 
pointed  out  that  many  books  and  all 
films  and  TV  programs  supply  or  at- 
tempt to  supply  the  whole  experience 
and  do  not  give  the  viewer/reader  an 
opportunity  to  participate  except  as 
a  passive  receiver  of  information. 

The  student  went  on  to  point  out 
that  many  areas  of  communication  are 
incomplete  because  this  personalized 


multiplicity  of  information  and  stimuli 
and  individualized  reaction  is  either 
non-existent  or  is  stunted  by  the  very 
thrust  upon  the  student.  He  stressed 
that  students  can  supply  totally  dif- 
ferent, equally  relevant,  highly  person- 
al, imagined  illustrations  and  in  so  do- 
ing they  give  the  heard  experience— 
the  listening  experience— a  depth  and 
breadth  unattainable  through  other  in- 
structional  devices. 

We  came  away  from  these  experi- 
ences happy  that  we  had  accepted  the 
invitations.  We  came  away  hopeful 
that  we  had,  in  each  case,  been  able 
to  help.  And  finally  we  came  away 
from  the  training  college  for  teachers 
convinced  that,  amid  the  welter  of 
claims  and  counterclaims,  our  young 
people  have  adopted  most  intelligent 
and  questioning  attitudes,  particularly 
toward  those  who  prophesy  that  mass 
education  will  undermine  the  proper 
relationship  of  the  individual  student 
and  teacher  in  the  learning  process. 

We  came  away  convinced  that 
these  young  people  will  carry  forward 
the  traditions  and  the  attitude  of  prog- 
ress and  instructional  improvement 
which  has  marked  American  educa- 
tion throughout  its  history.  We  are 
also  convinced  that  they  will  not  sur- 
render their  prerogatives  as  teachers 
to  become  monitors  and  minor  me- 
chanics to  electronic  instruments  or 
teaching  machines.

FILMSTRIPS 


by    Irene    F.    Cypher 


Photographically  speaking,  it  is  pos- 
sible today  to  provide  such  truly  beau- 
tiful color  or  black  and  white  pictures 
that  it  seems  pathetic  to  us  to  offer 
anything  but  the  very  best  for  teachers 
and  pupils  to  use  in  their  classroom 
work.  Children  love  color;  they  react 
to  intriguing  design  and  well  organ- 
ized composition  and  lay-out;  they 
respond  so  spontaneously  to  sincere, 
honest  story  presentations. 

The  best  proof  of  this  is  to  observe 
the  eyes  of  any  group  as  they  watch  a

ity  or  stodgy  and  dated.  And  no  user 
of  these  same  materials  should  select 
or  accept  ineffective  visuals.  The  pic- 
tures we  bring  into  our  classrooms 
should  truly  be  the  means  whereby  we 
introduce  pupils  to  trees,  animals, 
buildings,  people  and  anything  else 
you  care  to  name.  Some  of  the  newer 
materials  that  are  coming  to  us  are 
really  excellent  and  that  is  why  we 
take  the  liberty  once  again  of  includ- 
ing in  this  column  a  unit  of  slides 
(after  all  slides  and  filmstrips  are 
closely  related  and  should  be  used  to- 
gether more  frequently). 

French  Civilization  as  Reflected  in 
the  Arts  (a  series  of  30  slide  lectures, 
with  narrative  tapes  in  French  and 
English;  produced  by  Cultural  His- 
tory Research,  Inc.,  Harrison  1,  N.  Y.; 
units  of  50  shdes,  $48.7.5,  with  tape  in 
either  language  $8.00;  price  selections 
listed  in  folder.)  Both  subject  content 
and  photographic  quality  of  these 
slides  is  superb.  It  is  a  long  time  since 
we  have  seen  slides  of  such  beauty 
and  excellence  and  it  is  a  pleasure  to 
recommend  really  good  materials.  The 
units  provide,  as  the  producers  say, 
"an  integrated  approach  to  the  cul- 
tural life  of  France"  and  this  includes 
visual  dealing  with  political,  economic, 
social  and  art  materials. 

The  tone  quality  and  enunciation  of 
the  tapes  is  good  in  both  the  English 
and  French  versions.  We  could  get  ex- 
cited over  using  these  slides,  for  there 
is  so  much  to  see  in  them,  and  the 
photography  is  so  good  that  you  feel 
as  though  you  were  on  the  spot.  To 
be  recommended  for  art,  social  studies, 
cultural  appreciation;  certainly  lan- 
guage classes  will  both  enjoy  and  ben- 
efit from  the  comparison  possible  b\' 
using  the  tapes  for  study,  and  for  con- 
versation.

This  unit  carries  us  forward  from  the 
time  of  the  post-Civil  War  and  Re- 
construction period  to  the  end  of  the 
19th  century,  when  the  United  States 
becomes  a  world  power.  This  is  cur- 
riculum enrichment  material,  and  sug- 
gestions are  made  for  the  use  of  many 
types  of  materials  and  projects  in  con- 


nection   with    use    of    the    filmstrip' 
Basic    vocabulary    sections    highligh  ; 
names  and  terms  to  be  studied  ani 
considered,  and  the  content  is  specifi 
cally  appropriate  for  grades  7  to  1: 

The    Cowboy:    Rodeo    and    Raiui 
(single  strip,  color;  produced  by  \'is 
Ta  Films,  P.O.  Box  2406,  Sepulvedi 
Calif.;  $5.)  This  title  alone  is  enonel 
to  intrigue  boys  and  girls,  but  the  i ' 
ture  content,  too,  is  intriguing.  We  , 
taken  to  see  the  way  cowboys  work 
the  ranch  to  prepare  for  a  rodeo  aii< 
then  to  see  the  rodeo  itself,  with  it 
program  of  special  events  and  activi 
ties.  Visual  presentations  of  the  brand 
ing    and   roping   are    interesting,    aii( 
the    picture    sequences    clearly    illuN 
trate  how  the  cowboy  handles  hims<l 
and  the  animals.  The  strip  has  con  ; 
siderable  interest  potential  for  pupil, 
and  is  good  factual  resource  materia 
for  study  of  western  life. 

Founders  of  America  6  strips,  blacl 
and  white;  produced  by  Encyclopae 
dia  Britannica  Films,  1150  Wilmettt 
Ave.,  Wilmette,  Illinois;  $18  per  set 
$3  single  strips.)  To  understand  mucl 
of  the  development  of  the  Unitec 
States  one  must  know  the  men  whc 
helped  to  found  the  nation.  In  thi; 
pictorial  biography  series  we  are  in- 
troduced to  Washington,  Hamilton 
Franklin,  Marshall,  Williams  and  Jef 
ferson.  The  story  treatment  deals  with 
the  periods  during  which  the  mar 
were  active  in  the  military  and  politi- 
cal affairs  of  the  country  and  they  art 
shown  in  relation  to  the  events  of  the 
period  in  which  they  lived.  Useful  foi 
any  consideration  of  personalities  and 
episodes  in  the  American  Revolution. 
The  picture-story  content  can  be 
adapted  to  classroom  discussion  and 
follows  standard  curriculum  unit  out- 
lines. 

How  We  Get  Our  Homes  (4  strips, 
color;  produced  by  Society  for  Visual 
Education,  1345  Diversey  Parkway, 
Chicago  14,  111.;  $16.25  per  set,  $5 
single  strips.)  Home  is  a  very  impor- 
tant place  to  all  of  us,  and  we  know 
that  a  good  home  is  the  work  of  many 
people.  In  this  series,  our  attention  is 
focused  on  how  a  home  is  planned, 
constructed  and  made  ready  for  its 
occupants.  Particidar  attention  is  given 
to  the  things  a  family  looks  for  when 
they  choose  a  home,  in  terms  of  build- 
ing site,  neighbors  and  community  fa- 
cilities. The  material  is  listed  as  re- 
lated to  social  studies  units;  we  also 
think  it  is  to  be  recommended  for  lan- 
guage arts  work,  for  pupils  love  to 
talk  about  things  close  to  them,  and  a 
home  is  certainly  closely  related  to  a. 
niajor  portion  of  their  interests  and 
activities.  The  material  is  also  good  for 
study   of   community  workers,   for   it

In  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Youth  Workers  AV  Kit 

How  can  I  keep  to  one  page  all  the 
nice  things  I  would  like  to  say  about 
the  content  and  format  of  those  six- 
color  filmstrips  which  the  Broadcast- 
ing and  Film  Commission,  475  River- 
side Drive,  N.  Y.  27,  has  just  pro- 
duced and  released  under  the  title 
"Youth  Workers  Audio-Visual  Kit"? 

First,  the  content  is  fine  all  the  way; 
being  the  distilled  wisdom  and  in- 
sight of  the  practitioners  and  research- 
ers in  the  leadership  of  church  youth. 
Mighty  few  flies  in  this  ointment,  if 
any!  Here  is  guidance,  enrichment, 
inspiration  and  motivation  for  every- 
one from  junior  high  teacher  to  senior 
pastor. 

Art-wise,  a  bang  up  job.  While  the 
six  are  similar,  each  is  different  al- 
though the  art  for  two  is  by  the  same 
person.  Among  styles  there  ought  to 
be  only  preference,  not  judgment,  and 
I  must  say  that  I  liked  best  the  art  of 
John  Hearn  Bear  in  Decision  Saturday 
Night.  The  best  commentary  job,  I 
believe,  among  six  good  ones  is  that  of 
Helen  Kromer  in  You  For  Youth,  al- 
though her  work  in  Double  Identity 
and  Decision  Saturday  is  very  com- 
petent. Marjorie  Thompson  (art)  and 
Frank  Donovan  team  up  to  do  a  fine 
job  in  Through  Faith  and  Fellowship, 
and  Wilbur  Sweny  and  Donovan  do 
an  equally  satisfactory  piece  of  work 
in  A  Friend  To  Youth.  That  Youth 
May  Know  (the  ways  youth  learns) 
was  a  tough  assignment  for  Donovan 
(script)  and  Harry  Singleton  (art) 
but  they  sail  through  it  in  fine  shape. 

Seeing  all  six  titles  at  one  sitting 
was  a  lot  of  filmstrips  for  me  and  Mrs. 
Hockman,  my  faithful  helper  and  wise 
advisor,  but  there  was  so  much  va- 
riety of  treatment  of  content  and  for- 
mat in  the  commimicative  art  that  we 
found  it  no  trouble  at  all  to  keep  go- 
ing. Get  a  folder  on  this  kit  from  the 
BFC.  It  is  tops.  It  even  follows  the 
proposed  new  standards  for  filmstrip 
specifications,  and  how  nice  it  is  to 
handle  these  well-marked  materials. 
Out  of  three  decades  of  intimate  work 
with  church  youth,  and  out  of  a 
familiarity  with  most  of  the  visual  ma- 
terial in  the  church  field,  and  despite 


"You  for  Youth" 


"A  Friend  to  Youth" 

a  definite  tendency  to  be  liard  to 
please,  I  can  write,  "Highly  recom- 
mended" for  this  fine  and  useful  kit. 
Complete  from  BFC  for  only  $69.50. 

Filmstrip  Reviews  and  Notes 

Family  Filmstrips,  Inc.,  has  pro- 
duced a  good  and  useful  quartet  of 
filmstrips  under  the  title  "Young  Teens 
and  Dating."  The  target  audience  is 
the  junior  hi  bracket,  their  parents 
and,  with  care,  boys  and  girls  on  the 
threshold  of  the  teens. 

First  Dates  gives  useful  guidance 
for  those  just  starting  out  on  the 
'friendship  adventure',  and  does  so  in 
a  manner  that  teenagers  will  accept 
and  respect.  The  same  for  Whom  Do  I 
Date?  It  gives  sensible  criteria  for 
choosing  persons  wliom  it  will  be  fun 
to  be  with.  Is  If  Love  helps  boys  and 
girls  understand  the  nature  of  mutual 
attraction  and  the  qualities  of  real 
love  and  friendship.  Hmc  To  Act  On 


A  Date  tells  how  to  get  ready,  what  li 
do,  what  to  talk  about,  and  how  t( 
maintain  good  standards  of  conduct 
Each  filmstrip  has  forty-odd  frames  o 
pleasantly  stylized  cartoon  drawiiiu 
and  LP  recorded  commentaries.  High 
ly  recommended.  Good  buy  to 
church's  AV  library  at  $25.00  for  tin 
kit  of  four  complete. 

Devotional  Film.^rip  Number  Oik 
is  Cathedral  Films'  first  venture  in  pro 
viding  visual  and  recorded  resource: 
for  devotional  and  worship  use.  Tlu 
producer  warns  us  that  it  is  not  dc 
signed  or  intended  to  supplant  ma 
terials  in  some  other  format  but  ratli. 
to  assist  the  person  with  a  .sanctifiK 
and  creative  imagination  and  enricl 
worship  and  devotional  programs  a?i( 
services.  Part  I,  Passages  From  '11  n 
Old  Testament,  is  illustrated  by  pn 
tures  of  the  Prophet  Isaiah;  Part  II 
Selections  From  the  Psalms,  is  supplr 
mented  by  fine  color  photographs  ol 
the  Grand  Canyon  country;  Part  III 
Passages  from  The  New  Testament  art 
enriched  by  scenes  in  the  life  of  Jesus 
On  side  two  of  the  disc  we  are  giMi 
seven  familiar  anthems  and  hymn.s  ,r 
sung  by  the  Whittenberg  Universit\ 
Choir.  The  recording  is  technicall\ 
excellent  and  the  pictures  good,  giving 
us  a  fine  audiovisual  resource.  Com-

dealer  or  Cathedral  Films,  2921  Ala- 
meda Ave.,  Burbank,  Calif. 

With  the  production  of  a  48-frame, 
full  color  art  filmstrip  with  LP  record- 
ed commentary,  The  Living  Tree, 
World  Wide  Pictures,  Box  1055,  Sher- 
man Oaks,  Calif.,  enters  the  filmstrip 
field.  (Welcome,  and  may  future  pro- 
ductions keep  to  the  high  standards  i 
set  in  your  first!)  The  story  of  Win- 
fried,  Apostle  to  the  GeiTnans,  is  nice- 
ly visualized  and  told.  The  climax  of 
the  story  deals  with  the  Christmas  Eve 
encounter  of  Winfried  (also  known  as 
Boniface)  with  Hunrad,  priest  of  the 
god  Thor,  beneath  the  great  branches 
of  the  Thunder  Oak.  Here  is  a  story 
for  juniors  and  junior  highs  in  church 
school,  in  summer  camps,  in  vacation 
church  schools,  clubs  of  all  kinds  and 
fellowship  meetings.  Based  as  it  is  on 
Van  Dyke's  The  First  Christmas  Tree, 
it  is  far  from  a  seasonal  filmstrip.  It' 
is  highly  recommended.  From  the  pro- 
ducer, $10.00  complete  with  disc  and 
user's  guide. 

In  a  76-frame  full  color  stylized 
cartoon  filmstrip,  Stewart  The  Steward' 
and  the  Magic  Offering  Plate,  Stewart 
goes  round  the  world— on  his  flying 
offering  plate— with  some  friends  to 
find  out  where  the  money  goes  that 
they  give  to  the  church.  Here  is  a 
whimsical  treatment  of  the  steward- 
ship theme  which  will  interest  and  in-

In  the  first  frame  of  a  remarkably 
Kautiful  filmstrip,  Yochanan  Ben  Zak-

'i(i|ile  and  hand  to  him  the  scroll  of 
'ii'  Torah.  In  the  next  .3.5  lovely  color

,  it  leader  of  the  Jews  in  the  days  of

if  Jerusalem  and  how  he  struggled  to 
St  ililish  an  Academy  of  Jewish  Learn-

William  Steinel's  art  is  pleasing  and 
'fft'ctive,  and  the  commentary  of  Rab-

What's  Inside  the  Earth? 

(Film  Associates  of  California,  11014 
Santa  Monica  Blvd.,  Los  Angeles  25, 
Calif.)  Produced  by  Film  Associates, 
13  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  color  or 
black  and  white,  1959.  $135  or  $70. 
Teacher's  guide  available. 

Description 

What's  Inside  the  Earth  is  a  resume 
of  the  methods  whereby  man  has 
acquired  a  knowledge  of  the  structure 
and  composition  of  the  interior  of  the 
earth.  Both  animation  and  Hve  action 
photography  are  used  to  help  explain 
the  concepts  presented. 

The  film  opens  with  a  question  con- 
cerning what  might  be  found  if  one 
were  able  to  drill  a  hole  through  the 
earth  to  China.  Since  such  a  hole  is 
impossible,  the  narrator  suggests  a 
study  of  some  holes  which  have  been 
made  to  see  whether  anything  can  be 
learned  from  them  regarding  the  inter- 
ior of  the  earth. 

Digging  a  hole  with  a  hand  shovel 
is  first  shown,  so  that  the  top  soil  and 
a  bit  of  the  subsoil  can  be  seen.  How- 
ever only  a  very  shallow  hole  can  be 
dug  with  a  hand  shovel.  To  look  into 
a  deeper  hole,  the  film  pictures  a  site 
where  a  mechanical  shovel  is  digging 
a  ditch  for  a  water  pipe.  Here  the  hole 
is  several  feet  deep,  the  top  soil,  sub- 
soil and  a  layer  of  decayed  rock  are 
clearly  evident. 

"What,"  asks  the  narrator,  "goes 
deeper?"  The  next  sequence  shows  a 
water  well  on  a  farm  with  a  windmill 
pumping  water.  The  layers  of  earth 
and  rock,  through  which  the  well 
passes,  are  shown  by  animation.  In 
this  sequence  it  is  established  that 
there  are  layers  of  hard  rock  called 
strata  underlying  the  layer  of  decayed 
rock  which  was  previously  shown.  The 
well  penetrates  many  layers  of  the 
hard  rock  to  reach  the  water  table. 

The  well,  however,  is  less  than  100 
feet  deep.  To  learn  more  about  the 
earth  a  deeper  hole  must  be  examined 
so  a  mine  shaft  is  visited  next.  Here  a 
lift  is  seen  descending  into  the  mine 
shaft.  Again  animation  is  used  to  show 
the  many  layers  of  rock  which  are 
penetrated  by  the  mine  shaft  in  order 
to  reach  the  layer  of  coal.  The  narrator 
explains  that  it  is  very  warm  at  the 
bottom  of  deep  mines  because  of  the 


temperature  increase  of  several  de- 
grees per  thousand  feet  as  one  pen- 
etrates deeper  and  deeper  into  the 
earth.  At  this  point  the  film  presents 
several  scenes  showing  coal  mining 
operations.  It  is  pointed  out  that  the 
deepest  that  man  has  penetrated  the 
earth  is  to  the  bottom  of  our  deepest 
mine  shafts,  a  few  hundred  feet  deep. 

Although  man  has  not  been  deeper 
than  mines,  he  has  sent  tools  down 
much  deeper,  as  the  next  sequence 
shows.  The  drilling  platform  of  an 
oil  well  is  next  shown.  Animation  is 
used  to  picture  the  underlying  strata 
through  which  the  well  passes  to 
reach  the  oil  bearing  formation  which 
may  be  as  much  as  20,000  feet  be- 
neath the  surface  of  the  earth.  From 
the  materials  taken  from  such  oil 
wells,  man  has  learned  much  about 
the  earth's  structure. 

Nature  has,  in  effect,  made  avail- 
able much  deeper  holes  for  study: 
volcanos.  Animation  is  used  to  show 
the  hot,  molten  rock  more  than  200 
miles  below  the  surface  which  is  the 
source  of  hot  lava.  The  probable  cause 
of  volcanos  is  explained  and  pictures 
of  the  hot,  molten  lava  pouring  from 
the  volcano  are  shown. 

Still  another  way  that  man  has  ex- 
plored the  depths  of  the  earth  is  by 
study  of  seismograph  records.  The 
film  shows  a  seismograph  as  it  records 
an  earthquake  shock.  The  narrator  ex- 
plains briefly  how  scientists  are  able  to 
determine,  from  the  shock  waves,  the 
structure  and  probable  composition  of 
the  interior  of  the  earth.  The  cause  of 
earthquakes  is  shown  and  the  result- 
ing shock  waves  traced  as  they  radiate 
out  to  be  picked  up  by  seismographs 
over  the  earth. 

Animation  is  used  in  the  next  scenes 
to  show  the  crust,  mantle,  and  core 
of  the  earth  as  determined  by  seis- 
mological  investigations.  The  structure 
and  composition  of  the  crust  is  ex- 
plained as  it  is  shown  by  diagram. 
Next,  the  mantle  is  described  in  detail 
and  its  structure,  composition  and 
temperature  are  indicated.  The  core 
is  indicated  as  consisting  of  tvvo  dis- 
tinct layers.  Each  of  these  is  discussed 
briefly,  and  the  narrator  alludes  to  the 
methods  of  determining  the  composi- 
tion and  structure  of  the  core. 

The  film  then  reviews  the  various 
ways  by  which  man  has  been  able  to 


increase  his  knowledge  of  the  eartl: 
It  is  emphasized,  however,  that  ex 
ploration  of  the  structure  of  the  eartl 
has  barely  begun.  The  film  ends  a 
the  narrator  suggests  that  many  o 
the  boys  and  girls  seeing  the  film  ma 
some  day  contribute  to  our  knowledg  j 
of  what's  inside  the  earth. 

Appraisal 

The  preview  committee  rated  thi 
film  as  above  average.  The  photog 
raphy,  animation  and  diagrams  ar 
of  superior  quality.  The  vocabular 
and  visuals  are  of  such  a  level  and  «■ 
clearly  presented  that  elementar 
children  should  fully  comprehend  , 
large  portion  of  the  content.  Some  o 
the  concepts  alluded  to,  howevei 
suggest  areas  of  further  study  even  fo 
the  high  school  student.  The  uppe 
elementary  and  jimior  high  genera 
or  earth  science  classes  will  derive  thi 
greatest  benefit  from  the  film.  Thi 
teacher  will  find  it  extremely  helpfu 
in  explaining  concepts  relating  to  th' 
structure  of  the  earth,  faulting,  earth 
quakes  and  volcanos.

■sound,  color,  no  date.  $175. 


Description 

With  spectacular  alpine  v  i  s  t  a  S: 
warm  glimpses  of  human  interest 
close-ups  found  only  in  unspoiled  nat 
ural  settings,  plus  organ  and  chora 
music.  Wilderness  Alps  of  Stehekit 
makes  a  plea  for  leaving  some  of  ou 
natural  scenic  heritage  untouched  b*' 
human  influences.  The  narrator  is  ; 
father  taking  his  two  pre-teen  sons  oi 
a  trip  of  discovery  through  the  Stehe 
kin  range  of  the  Cascade  mountains  ii 
northwestern  Wa.shington. 

Reviewing  those  portions  of  ou 
natural  heritage  already  preserved,  thi 
film  visits  Mount  Rainier,  the  rait 
forest  of  the  Olympic  Mountains,  Yo- 
Semite,  the  Grand  Canyon,  Dinosaur' 
Echo  Park,  and  Monument  Valley 
While  tracing  the  history  and  needi 
for  wilderness  preservation,  the  themii

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — April,  196W 


I    I  icing  continually  reinforced; 

"The  wild  shining  sea  shaping  the 

rth  through  the  ages,  never  the 
m_  Miine,  yet  not  to  be  changed  by  man, 
who  long  ago  learned  to  accept  it  for 
what  it  is— even  as  we  now  are  learn- 
ing not  to  change  some  of  the  wild 
land,  but  to  keep  it  natural,  to  seek 
from  it  anstvers  to  questions  we  may 
yet  learn  to  ask." 

After  pointing  out  some  of  the  scars 
left  on  the  fringes  of  the  Stehekin  area 
by  man's  past  exploitation,  the  boys 
and  their  father  begin  the  boat  trip  up 
Lake  Chelan  on  the  excursion  boat 
"Lady  of  the  Lake"  passing  1,500  foot 
cliffs  and  mountains  over  9,000  feet 
high  on  their  way  to  Stehekin  Land- 
ing. From  this  point  easy  trails  lead  to 
many  scenic  points;  the  landing  is  also 
the  lower  end  of  a  primitive  road  that 
connects  with  no  highways,  on  which 
its  few  cars  "know  each  other  by  their 
first  names." 

At  the  road's  end  the  boys  and  their 
father  meet  Chuck  and  Mariam  Hes- 
sey  who  have  lived  in,  explored  and 
photographed  this  country.  Among  the 
scenes  they  have  witnessed  is  the 
cloud  cap  on  Glacier  Peak,  the  lenticu- 
lar cloud  that  through  time-lapse 
photography  is  seen  to  spin  about  the 
top  of  the  mountain  as  the  wind  blows 
through  it  and  creates  the  illusion  of  a 
giant  top  whirling  on  a  pedestal. 
Mountain  goats,  ptarmigans  and  the 
cycle  of  the  seasons  have  all  been 
photographed  by  the  Hesseys. 

Again  the  boys  resume  their  hike 
through  the  mountains.  Caught  in  a 
sudden  mountain  shower  they  walk 
through  a  sheltered  valley,  and  the 
father  re-discovers  what  the  boys  al- 
ready know  ".  .  .  that  the  rains  bring 
out  new  patterns  and  freshness,"  and 
he  observes  that  while  they  got  wet, 
"We  never  came  back  wishing  we 
hadn't  gone  out,  and  .  .  .  feeling  only 
half  alive  ...  the  boys  knew  it  all  the 
time,    that    epidermis    is    waterproof! 

.  that  strange  tingling!  .  .  .  that  was 
my  circulation  circulating.  I  had  al- 
most forgotten  the  feeling." 

In  closing,  the  plea  is  made  again 
for  keeping  unspoiled  the  areas  where 
our  children  and  theirs  can  rediscover 
the  wilderness  "that  the  ages  have 
made  perfect." 

Appraisal 

Wilderness  Alps  of  Stehekin  is  a 
beautiful  and  moving  filmic  essay  on 
the  aesthetic  values  that  are  found  in 
un.spoiled  nature.  The  plea  for  pres- 
ervation of  the  few  remaining  such 
places  is  forcefully  delivered.  There  is 
an  unmistakable  identification  avail- 
able to  most  audiences  either  in  the 
three  children,  the  fathers  or  those  on 
the  Sierra  Club  hike. 


The  original  organ  music  by  Clair 
Leonard  used  during  the  opening 
views  of  scenic  grandeur  and  the  chil- 
dren's choir  backgrounding  the  hiking 
sequences  with  such  tunes  as  the 
"Happy  Wanderer"  reinforced  the  in- 
tended mood. 

The  only  objection  raised  by  the 
committee  was  directed  at  the  heavy 
emphasis  on  the  need  for  preservation 
of  wilderness  at  the  film's  beginning. 
The  message  at  the  end  was  felt  to 
come  across  more  effectively  since  the 
viewers  have  then  traveled  through 
mountains  and  meadows  and  have 
observed  unspoiled  nature.  Then,  with 
this  filmed  experience  as  a  back- 
ground, the  need  for  action  in  preser- 
vation becomes  apparent. 


Scouting  groups,  conservation  and 
other  outdoor  clubs  would  find  this 
film  a  stimulating  experience.  Junior 
and  senior  high  school  classes  and 
adult  groups  studying  conservation 
and  recreation  problems  might  use 
this  film  either  to  develop  an  appre- 
ciation of  untouched  nature  or  to  serve 
as  a  stimulus  to  a  study  and  discussion 
of  the  problems  entailed  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  primitive  recreational 
areas.

John  Brownlee  teaching  with  Norelco  Tape  Recorder:  The  world-famous  Aus- 
tralian baritone,  beloved  "Don  Giovanni"  of  the  1930's  and  iO's  and  now  Director  of 
the  Manhattan  School  of  Music,  tape  records  with  his  Norelco  'Continental'  a 
difficult  passage  sung  by  pretty  student  Judith  Ingram.  Afterwards  Mr. 
Brownlee  played  back  this  section  of  the  tape  to  show  his  pupil  precisely  what 
needed  further  vocal  polishing.  "A  high-quality  tape  recorder  enables  the  teacher 
to  let  his  pupils  hear  themselves  as  others  hear  them,"  says  Mr.  Brownlee.  "/  find 
my  Norelco  'Continental'  three-speed  tape  recorder  an  extremely  versatile  teaching 
tool,  especially  as  it  is  capable  of  outstanding  faithful,  undistorted  reproduction  of 
vocal  and  instrumental  timbres."  The  Norelco  'Continental'  is  a  product  of  North

RCA   PRESENTS 

THE  "PRECEPTOR"  SYSTEM 


. . .  world's  most  advanced 
language  laboratory  equipment! 


This  is  the  RCA  "Preceptor"— an 
exciting  new  concept  in  language 
laboratories.  Most  advanced  because 
it  opens  fresh  new  avenues  for  crea- 
ti\e  teaching  .  .  .  most  advanced  be- 
cause it  gives  the  teacher  full  control 
of  the  laboratory.  Most  advanced, 
too,  because  it's  transistorized  and  be- 
cause its  modular  design  simplifies  in- 
stallation and  makes  expansion  easy. 

'I'ransistors  add  many  extra  advan- 
tages to  RCA's  new  "Preceptor" 
System  — providing  instant  action, 
longer  life,  simpler  wiring,  and  lower 
operating  costs.  These  are  but  a  few 
iif  the  superior  features  RCA  sound 
engineers  have  designed  into  the 
"Preceptor"  to  make  it  the  world's 
most  advanced  and  most  wanted 
language  laboratory  system. 

Write  for  complete  information  pack- 
age explaining  how  RCA  "Preceptor" 
System  can  vitalize  your  language 
curriculum.  Also,  ask  for  the  name 
of  your  nearest  RCA  Language  Labo- 
ratory Dealer.  Address:  Radio  Cor- 
poration of  America,  Language 
Laboratory  Sales,  Building  15-1, 
Camden  2,  N.J. 


The  RCA  "Preceptor"  console  (above) 
with  its  master  control  panel  puts  the 
teacher  in  complete  command.  It 
allows:  1)  monitoring  of  any  student; 
2)  listening  in  on  master  tape  and 
student's  voice;  3)  two-way  conver- 
sation with  any  student;  4)  recording 
of  student  on  central  tape  recorder; 
5)  insertion  of  comments  on  the 
recording;  6)  communication  with 
whole  class  through  "all-call"  con- 
trol. The  teacher  controls  tape  selec- 
tion and  can  play  up  to  10  dif- 
ferent tapes. 


World's   Most  Advanced 
Components  .  .  .  from   RCA  ! 


Sturdy  RCA  "Preceptor"  booths  can 
be  installed  singly,  with  or  without 
flip-top  desk  to  serve  as  writing  sur- 
face, or  in  modules  of  two  or  three 
attractive  economy  booths. 


Expansion?  Just  add  a  pre-wired 
SelectorCom  panel  with  a  bank  of 
10  selector  switches. 

RCA  tape  decks  for  the  "Preceptor" 
System  may  be  either  half-track,  or 
dual-track.  Single-knob  control 
makes  them  ideally  simple  to  operate 
at  the  console  or  in  student  booths, 
as  a  program  source  or  for  student 
recording.  Convenient  new  cartridge 
type  tape  decks  are  also  available.

QUALITY   OF   PROJECTION   SCREEN 

Good  filming,  care- 
ful projection — yet 
the  picture. lacks 
clarity  and  colors  are 
weak !  This  is  a  case 
of  projecting  on  an 
improper  surface. 
Da-Lite  engineers 
have  developed  a 
screen  surface  that 
protects  the  audio- 
visual professional 
from  such  a  problem.  The  famous  White 
Magic  glass-beaded  surface  is  unequalled 
in  quality.  Gives  outstanding  clarity  of 
picture  and  faithful  reproduction  of  color. 
You  can  seat  your  auJdience  over  a  wider

Thomas  A.  Edison  never  thought 
much  of  showing  movies  to  a  mctss 
audience.  He  preferred  the  peep-show, 
where  you  put  your  penny  in  the  slot 
to  enter  briefly  a  flickering  world  all 
your  very  own.  Hundreds  of  thousands 
of  children  today  enjoy  that  type  of 
show  when  they  turn  the  cardboard 
wheels  of  their  "Viewmaster" — a  suc- 
cession of  16mm  frames  now  adapted 
to  educational  uses  by  Sawyer's,  and, 
primarily  to  religious  purposes,  by 
Glenn  McMurray. 

Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  joins 
the  trend  with  its  so-called  "shortstrips" 
(35mm  filmstrips,  each  14  frames  in 
length,  a  dozen  to  the  set).  Film  and 
Slide  Lab  of  Toronto  have  been  featur- 
ing approximately  this  length  for  some 
time,  but  in  "Hymnslips"  intended  for 
group  projection,  with  each  hymn  a  unit. 
A  dozen  EBF  "shortstrips,  with  one 
plastic  hand-viewer,  are  priced  at  $19.90; 
additional  strips  at  $1.66  each;  additional 
viewers  at  $1.00  each.

Donald  Ickes,  AV  director  at  New  Trier,  laminates  illus- 
trated foothall  plays  for  the  athletic  department. 


Laminator  for  AV  Dept. 

A  new  laminating  machine  is  one  of 
the  features  of  the  remodeled  audio- 
visual department  of  New  Trier  high 
school  in  Winnetka,  111. 

The  unit  is  the  "Ply-On,"  manufac- 
tured by  American  Photocopy  Equip- 
ment Company,  Evanston,  111.  It  is 
utilized  by  the  entire  school,  with  ma- 
terial channeled  through  Donald  Ickes, 
audiovisual  director.  He  plans  to  set 
up  a  regular  schedule  of  laminating 
services  for  each  of  New  Trier's  depart- 
ments, along  with  other  services  that 
will  be  offered  at  this  central  location. 

Current  applications  for  the  lami- 
nator include  passes,  signs,  important 
records,  diagrams — both  academic  and 
for  use  by  athletic  teams — also  sheet 
music  and  library  uses  such  as  book 
jackets. 

Filmstrip  Standards  Finalized 

A  committee  headed  by  Robert  H. 
Larson,  chief  engineer  of  Dukane  Cor- 
poration's audiovisual  division,  has  sub- 
mitted a  final  report  on  technical  speci- 
fications for  filmstrips  which  states: 
"The  filmstrip  (or  slide  film)  with  or 
without  accompanying  sound  has  be- 
come such  an  important  media  of  com- 
munication with  users  spread  through- 
out industry,  commerce,  religion  and 
education  that  it  is  imperative  that  the 
arrangement  of  the  filmstrip  be  stand- 
ardized so  that  all  confusion  is  elimi-

nated  in  the  actual  utilization  of  the 
media." 

These  specifications  provide  that,  fol- 
lowing a  square  cut  midway  between 
two  sprocket  holes,  the  first  three 
frames  carry  the  word  "Start"  in  light 
letters  against  a  darker  background, 
and  that  a  white  dot  not  less  than  Va 
in.  in  diameter  appear  in  the  upper 
left-hand  corner  of  each  of  these  "Start" 
frames.  The  next  four  frames  are  for 
title  and  other  identification  data, 
"preferably  parallel  to  the  film  edge." 

The  tenth  ("Focus")  frame  is  to  carry 
a  simple  design  pattern  "so  that  the 
projected  picture  can  be  accurately 
located  and  sharply  focused  on  the 
screen,"  and  if  a  sound  medium  accom- 
panies the  strip  this  focus  frame  is  also 
to  carry  definite  instructions  to  the  op- 
erator as  to  the  proper  frame  on  which 
to  start  the  sound.  The  eleventh  frame 
carries  the  first  main  title,  intended  to 
be  seen  by  the  audience. 

As  a  precaution  against  scratching, 
the  final  frame  (usually  "The  End" 
title)  is  to  be  followed  by  a  length  of 
film  "at  least  equal  to  the  circum- 
ference of  the  container  in  which  it 
will  be  stored."  The  two  last  frames 
in  this  tailpiece  are  to  bear  the  word 
"End"  in  light  letters  on  dark  back- 
ground; in  the  case  of  color  films, 
white  letters  on  red  background. 

Members  of  Mr.  Larson's  technical 
committee  included  Robert  S.  Throop, 
William  H.  Smith,  William  F.  Kruse. 
H.  S.  Van  Deren,  Jr.,  Eric  Bender,  and 
Walter  Johnson.

LEVOLOR  installation  brackets  have  a  two-way

Information  that  insures  the  best  installation  pos-

every  detail  of  your  Venetian  Blind  installation— help 
with  the  specifications  and  make  a  final  inspection 
after  the  blinds  are  installed.  It  is  a  service  that  guar-

audio-visual  equipment  is  de-

equipment  is,  to  be  an  active 
educational  aid  rather  than  a

full  benefits  of  teaching  with 
audio-visuals  can  be  achieved 
only  through  built-in  features 
and  controls  that  make  the 
teacher  the  complete  master  of 
the  lesson  rather  than  a  by- 
stander. Only  Bell  &  Howell 
gives  these  to  you,  along  with 
unmatched  ease  of  operation.

This  movie  is  really 

sharp!  Not  a  light

REASON:  The  windows  in  this  room 
are  light-controlled  with  Flexalum 
Audio-Visual  Blinds.  These  blinds 
make  any  room  theatre-dark  anytime. 
Here's  why:  (1)  more  slats  per  height 
plus  (2)  patented  notch  in  each  slat 
that  permits  adjacent  slats  to  touch, 
equals  (3)  no  between-slat  light  leaks. 
(4)  Light-trap  channels  eliminate 
around-the-edge  light  leaks.

The  slides  look 
great.  Just  enough 
light  to  take  notes. 

REASON:  You  get  just  the  degree  of 
light  control  you  need  with  Flexalum 
Audio-Visual  Blinds.  No  other  form  of 
blackout  covering  allows  you  this 
flexibility.  And  Flexalum  Audio-Visual

Wisconsin  College  Gives 
Master's  in  AV 

Now  under  way  at  Stout  State  Col- 
lege, Menomonie,  Wise.,  is  the  only 
master  of  science  degree  program  in 
audiovisual  instruction  at  any  college 
in  the  state. 

To  obtain  the  new  master's  degree 
in  audiovisual  instruction,  graduate 
students,  after  having  taught  a  mini- 
mum of  one  year,  are  required  to  en- 
roll in  three  basic  courses:  research 
procedures,  applied  research,  and  edu- 
cational statistics.  These  students  are 
also  required  to  obtain  a  minimum  of 
eight  semester  hoiu-s  and/or  a  maxi- 
mum of  15  semester  hours  from  a  hst 
of  20  recommended  graduate  courses. 

For  example,  students  may  select 
advanced  photography,  audiovisual 
administration,  applied  electronics, 
motion  picture  production,  to  name 
a  few  subjects,  as  well  as  more  general 
courses  in  curriculum,  conference 
leading,  psychology  of  learning,  super- 
vision, and  administration. 

Upon  completion  of  Stout's  $925,- 
000  shop-laboratory-classroom  build- 
ing now  under  construction,  the  audio- 
visual center  will  move  to  enlarged, 
renovated  quarters  in  space  now  oc- 
cupied by  the  Stout  printing  depart- 
ment. 

Officials  of  the  college  foresee  con- 
siderable interest  in  the  course. 


Australia  Library  Has 
Large  Film  Archives 

The  Commonwealth  National  Li- 
brary at  Canberra,  charged  "with  the 
responsibihty  of  collecting  and  pre- 
serving Australian  historical  records," 
has  a  film  division  which  has  pub- 
lished a  catalog  of  1,537  documentary 
and  educational  motion  pictures  from 
388  Australian  producers  and  spon- 
sors, some  800  of  which  are  already 
in  the  national  library's  film  collection. 

According  to  its  preface,  "this  cata- 
logue is  only  part  of  the  film  division's 
project  to  compile  a  complete  record 
of  Australian  film  production  and, 
wherever  possible,  to  obtain  prints  of 
all  significant  films  for  deposit  in  its 
historical  film  collection."  Feature 
films  are  omitted  from  the  catalog 
although  efforts  are  being  made  to 
acquire  copies  of  early  productions 
of  this  type.

J  HOW  TO  TEACH  MORE 
EFFECTIVELY  WITH  AN 

OVERHEAD  TBMSPASENGT 


in  important  visual  aids  primer  --  clip  and  save  it 


PROJECTOR 


s  a  person  who  uses  and  is  often  called  upon  to  advise 
n  the  selection  of  visual  aids  equipment,  it  is  essential 
bat  you  become  familiar  with  the  many  advantages  of  over- 
lead  projection  techniques — how  it  can  make  your  teaching 
ven  more  effective,  how  it  helps  the  student  to  grasp  and  to 
etain  ideas,  how  it  increases  the  scope  of  your  subject  matter. 


For  many  teachers  the  prime  ad- 
jutage of  the  overhead  transparency 
rejector  is  the  fact  that  it  is  the 
nly  type  of  projection  equipment 
lat  is  designed  to  be  operated  in 
road  daylight.  The  ordinary  class- 
)om  becomes  a  theater  without  turn- 
ig  out  the  lights  or  drawing  the 
lades.  Of  course,  you  must  have  a 
rojector  that  provides  the  maximum 
;reen  light  required  to  retain  detail 
tid  color.  Projection  Optics'  Trans- 
aque  Jr.,  for  instance,  provides  up 
three  times  more  light  on  the 
;reen  than  any  other  projector  of 
s  type.  Transpaque  Jr.'s  exclusive 
ptical  system  has  completely  elimi- 
ated  a  serious  overhead  projection 
roblem  —  the  distracting  rings  that 
ave  always  appeared  on  the  screen. 

Ip-Front  Projection 

With  this  teaching  tool,  both  you 
nd  the  projector  are  at  the  head  of 
le  class.  As  you  teach,  you  face  your 
ludents.  You  can  gauge  their  re- 
ctions,  spot  questions  immediately; 
tudents  can  take  notes  and  you  can 
efer  to  yours.  Remember,  the  lights 
re  on!  In  short,  with  the  Trans- 
aque  Jr.  you  retain  all  the  advan- 
ages  of  a  classroom  environment. 

The  very  small  profile  of  Trans- 
aque  Jr.,   especially   the   projection 


head,  makes  every  seat  usable.  There 
is  nothing  obstructing  your  view  of 
the  class.  Every  student  is  able  to 
see  both  you  and  the  screen.  The 
more  compact  Transpaque  Jr.  is  also 
easily  portable. 

Superimpose  transparency  over 
transparency,  building  a  progressive 
story  before  the  eyes  of  your  class. 
Transpaque  Jr.  retains  the  brilliance

SYSTEM 


and  color  even  through  multi-colored 
overlays.  Each  transparency  has  a 
large  10"  x  10"  format.  You  can 
tailor-make  them  yourself,  simply 
and  inexpensively.  You  can  buy  them 
already  prepared,  covering  a  multi- 
tude of  subjects. 

Write  As  You  Speak 

To  create  large  screen  images  of 
your  notes  or  ideas,  just  write  in 
your  normal  size  script  on  a  trans- 
parency. It  is  projected  as  you  write, 


just  behind  you  on  the  screen.  You 
can  draw  lines,  write  clarifying  re- 
marks, circle  areas  of  special  interest. 
Your  individual  technique  is  as  un- 
limited as  your  own  imagination. 
There  is  no  Squeaky  chalk  or  tiresome 
blackboard  work.  Use  the  roll  of 
transparent  film.  Write  on  it  and 
roll  it  away  for  a  continuous  supply 
of  clean  writing  surface. 

Transpaque  Jr.  is  UL-CSA  ap- 
proved. It  is  easy  to  operate  and 
trouble-free.  For  a  free  demon-

hours  of  cultural,  musical,  and  educa- 
tional programs  weekly  from  radio 
stations  in  40  foreign  countries  to  more 
than  200  American  commercial  and 
educational  radio  stations. 

Letters 


To  the  Editor: 

Your  October,  1959,  issue  has  again 
come  to  our  attention  and  I  think 
warrants  comment,  even  at  this  late 
date. 

It  should  be  very  gratifying  to  you 
to  find  that  your  publication  is  fol- 
lowed so  avidly.  Unfortunately  we 
are  finding  it  embarrassing.  The  arti- 
cle "Criteria  for  AV  Equipment"  by 
Philip  Fayen  contains  several  impli- 
cations which  we  do  not  believe  are 
justified. 

Mr.  Fayen  asks  the  question,  "Does 
the  projector  have  a  rating  of  350-500 
watts?"  A  300-watt  projector  with  a 
good  optical  system  could  conceivably 
put  more  light  on  the  screen  than  a 
500-watt  projector  with  a  poor  one. 
Wattage  is  not  necessarily  a  measure 
of  a  projector. 

Mr.  Fayen  asks  that  10  foot  1am- 
berts  be  registered  on  a  light  meter 
focused  on  the  screen.  This  is  a  rating 
applied  to  movie  projection.  The  ASA 
standards  for  still  projection  suggest 
5  foot  lamberts  instead  of  10.   The

whole  discussion  is  rather  out  of  pi  ; 
under  a  projection  test  because  it 
more  a  test  of  a  screen  than  a  p 
jector. 

Under  "Tape  Recorder,"  Mr.  Fa; 
asks  "Does  the  amplifier  have  a  po\ 
rating  of  10  watts,  or  at  least  7  wt 
as  absolute  minimum?"  Although  w; 
age  is  a  factor  in  amplifier  perfoi 
ance  it  is  not  the  whole  story,  and  I 
Fayen's  implication  that  7  w< 
should  be  considered  a  minimum  is 
tremely  misleading. 

Mr.  Fayen  asks  "Is  this  a  four  tr; 
or  a  two  track  recorder?,"  imply 
that  it  should  be  one  or  the  otf 
With  the  possible  exception  of 
as  a  play-back  machine  in  music 
preciation  courses,  it  is  hard  to  th

Cliche 
Blocks 
To 
Progress 


Paul  C.  Reed 


We  doubt  that  there's  an  audiovisual  administrator  anywhere  u 
hasn't  at  one  time  or  another  been  frustrated  by  the  chch^  bid 
of  his  "superior."  You  know  that  kind  of  boss  man  who  says  tl 
your  proposed  idea  cannot  be  used  because  "We  tried  it  once,  a 
it  doesn't  work."  Or,  "There  isn't  enough  money."  Or,  "The  peo: 
aren't  ready  for  an  idea  like  that."  Or,  "We  just  don't  do  thii 
that  way."  In  a  recent  talk.  Dr.  Don  Williams  of  the  University 
Kansas  City,  listed  a  whole  file  catalog  of  such  cliches  and  discuss 
them  as  major  blocks  to  progress. 

Certainly  it's  a  trying  and  baffling  situation  when  an  AV  directc 
plans  and  ideas  are  turned  down  for  such  reasons.  But  it's  even  mu 
worse  when  he  blocks  his  own  progress  by  that  same  kind  of  < 
lusive  reasoning.  Take  the  case  of  the  Director  of  Instructional  V' 
terials  in  Northeast  City,  for  example. 

He  thought  he  had  an  insoluble  problem  in  the  distribution 
filmstrips.  His  own  cliche  block  to  reasonable  action  was  the  noti 
"You  have  to  treat  all  schools  alike."  Or  he  sometimes  told  himsi 
"What  you  do  for  one  school  in  the  system,  you  have  to  do  for  al 
Who  said  so,  and  upon  what  authority?  Maybe  like  schools  shot 
be  treated  alike,  but  schools  aren't  alike  just  because  they're  in  t 
same  school  system.  This  Director  had  trapped  himself  and  block' 
his  own  program.  But  let's  be  more  specific. 

There  was  a  good  centralized  film  library  and  motion  pictu 
distribution  system  in  Northeast  City.  When  filmstrips  began  to 
available  in  quantity  and  quality,  it  was  simple  enough,  and  logic 
too,  to  add  these  to  the  existing  film  distribution  system.  Filmstri' 
being  much  cheaper  than  motion  pictures,  you  could  even  buy  fi 
or  six  copies  to  serve  Northeast's  fifty-some  schools.  But  the  ec 
nomics  of  this  method  of  distribution  bothered  the  director. 

True,  a  filmstrip  cost  only  a  few  dollars,  but  in  a  few  years 
would  cost  several  times  that  to  distribute  it.  Each  one  had  to  1 
listed,  and  ordered,  and  delivered,  and  picked  up,  and  inspecte 
and  shelved  over  and  over  again  while  distribution  costs  mounte 
On  the  other  hand,  if  Northeast  Director  were  to  have  to  buy  fif 
copies  of  one  filmstrip  title,  his  current  budget  would  be  nowhei 
near  adequate. 

The  clue  that  permitted  him  to  break  free  from  his  cliche 
created  block  came  when  he  was  reviewing  the  statistics  of  filmstr 
usage.  The  figures  made  clear  that  all  schools  were  not  alike.  Tl 
top  school  had  used  more  than  three  times  as  many  filmstrips  as  tl 
school  at  the  bottom  of  the  list.  Maybe  filmstrips  collections  shou 
be  provided  for  some  schools,  and  not  for  all,  at  least  not  all  at  one 
.  Why  not  start  decentralized  collections  for  those  schools  th 
made  most  use  of  filmstrips?  Five  schools  first.  Five  more  next  yea 
Then  half  the  schools  had  their  own  filmstrip  libraries.  If  you  a: 
going  to  serve  schools  best,  maybe  they  should  never  all  be  treate 
alike.  The  solution  for  one  school  is  not  the  solution  for  all  school 

There  was  another  fallacy  Northeast  Director  discovered  in  h 
thinking  about  filmstrips.  When  he  really  thought  the  proble: 
through,  he  knew  that  in  terms  of  unit  cost,  methods  of  use,  and  tl 
way  they  should  be  distributed,  filmstrips  were  much  more  HI 
books  than  like  motion  pictures.  One  of  these  days  in  Northea 
City,  those  individual  school  collections  will  become  decentralizei 
and  there'll  be  filmstrips  in  every  classroom  just  as  there  should  b

pur  Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  stand  up  to  160  boy  operators,

"Projectors  get  a  severe  workout  under  our  heavy  audio- 
visual schedules.  Youngsters  who  run  them  have  vary- 
ing attitudes  about  care.  So  the  operating  simplicity  and 
ruggedness  of  a  Pageant  are  important  features  to  us. 

"Constant  hard  usage  by  so  many  people  would  also 
make  it  next  to  impossible  to  keep  up  with  lubrication 
and  maintenance  records.  That's  why  we  place  such  high 
value  on  the  lubrication-free  feature  of  the  Pageant."

AV  Materials  In  Guidance 


by  Verne   Stockman 
Donald  Moler 
James  Lister 


H 


.  AVE  audiovisual  directors  recognized  the 
growing  importance  of  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials in  the  field  of  guidance?  To  find  an  an- 
swer to  this  question,  the  Audio- Visual  Center 
at  Eastern  Illinois  University  surveyed  all  those 
guidance  directors  in  the  United  States  whose 
names  appeared  in  the  April,  1958,  directory  of 
Local  Directors  of  Guidance  published  by  the 
U.  S.  Department  of  Health,  Education,  and 
Welfare.  Of  the  1,452  directors  listed,  791  (54 
percent)  responded  to  the  inquiry. 

Although  writers  in  the  fields  of  audiovisual 
education  and  guidance  have  frequently  refer- 
red to  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials  in  guid- 
ance programs,  very  little  has  appeared  in  print 
dealing  specifically  with  the  use  of  audiovisual 
materials  in  the  various  areas  of  guidance.  With 
emphasis  upon  guidance  under  Title  V  of  the 
National  Defense  Education  Act,  the  use  of  ma- 
terials in  guidance  becomes  more  and  more  the 
concern  of  audiovisual  directors. 

In  this  survey  of  guidance  programs,  inquiry 
was  made  regarding  the  use  of  the  following 
audiovisual  materials:  charts,  graphs,  posters, 
motion  pictures,  bulletin  boards,  slides,  film- 
strips,  field  trips,  opaque  projectors,  tape  re- 
corders and  overhead  projectors. 

Group  guidance  situations  accounted  for  most 
of  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials.  Group  guid- 
ance situations  in  the  study  were  considered  to 
be  group-centered  guidance  activities  such  as 
orientation,  providing  occupational  information, 
and  exploratory  courses  or  guidance  units  taught 
within  academic  courses. 

The  next  largest  category  using  audiovisual 
materials  involved  community  groups  and  stafi^ 
members.  Included  were  those  activities  of  a 
guidance  nature  which  were  directed  toward  pre- 
senting guidance  information  to  the  community, 
in-service  training  of  the  faculty,  and  obtaining 
information  from  the  community  which  could  be 
used  in  working  with  the  students.  Audiovisual 
materials  were  used  least  in  individual  counsel- 
ing situations.  This  probably  is  not  unusual,  con- 
sidering the  nature  of  the  counseling  situation. 
Comparatively  few  audiovisual  materials  were 
used  in  addition  to  those  listed.  Those  additional 
materials  most  frequently  used  were  television, 
radio,  recordings,  flannel  boards  and  photo- 
graphs. In  virtually  all  cases  the  additional  audio- 
visual materials  were  being  used  in  group  guid- 
ance situations.

director,  Audio-Visual  Center,  Eastern  Illi- 
nois University. 


Participants  in  the  siuvey  were  asked  whel 
they  would  like  to  use  additional  audiovi; 
materials.  Nearly  60  percent  replied  in  the  affi 
ative.  A  large  majority  of  these  stated  t 
would  like  to  use  more  motion  pictures  in  gn 
guidance.  Other  materials  which  participants 
dicated  they  would  like  to  use  were:  filmstr 
tape  recorders,  slides,  television,  pre-recon 
tapes,  opaque  projectors,  field  trips,  overh 
l^rojectors,  16mm  motion  picture  cameras,  fi 
nel  boards,  sociodramas  and  radios. 

In  order  to  determine  the  attitudes  held 
guidance  directors  toward  use  of  audiovis 
materials  in  their  programs,  participants  w 
asked  to  check  whether  they  considered  th 
"very  valuable,"  "valuable,"  "of  limited  vali 
or  "of  no  value."  Nearly  90  percent  of  all  f 
ticipants  indicated  they  considered  audiovis 
material  valuable  to  their  programs.  One-te 
of  the  directors  believed  them  "of  limited  val 
and  there  were  only  two  "of  no  value." 

Directors  who  had  a  wide  variety  of  auc 
visual  materials  available  for  use  in  their  p 
grams  tended  to  give  them  a  high  rating.  Th 
who  used  most  of  the  materials  available  pia( 
a  higher  value  upon  them  than  did  those  v 
used  few.  Those  who  indicated  a  desire  to  i 
additional  materials  believed,  as  would  be 
pected,  audiovisual  materials  to  be  valual 
Those  individuals  who  listed  new  or  imus 
uses  of  audiovisual  materials  within  their  p 
grams  tended  to  consider  their  value  even  high 

Compared  with  the  group  rating  audiovis 
materials  of  limited  value,  those  rating  th 
highly  tended  to  have  more  materials  availa 
and  they  tended  to  use  them  more  extensive 
They  also  indicated  a  desire  to  use  additioi 
materials  and  were  finding  new  and  unusual  u 
for  audiovisual  materials. 

Guidance  directors  were  asked  "What  newi 
unusual  uses  are  you  now  making  of  audiovist 
materials?"  Comparatively  few  were  exercisi 
initiative  in  this  vein;  only  about  five  perce 
of  the  directors  reported  finding  uses  which  th 
considered  new  or  unusual.  Some  of  the  parti 
pants  listed  uses  of  the  tape,  motion  pictii 
slides  and  photographs. 

An  outgrowth  of  this  survey  was  the  formu' 
tion  of  recommendations  for  more  effective  i 
of  audiovisual  materials  in  guidance  prograr 
The  uses  recommended  below  are  taken  in  pi 
from  uses  suggested  by  participants  and  in  ott 
instances  uses  are  suggested  which  are  believ 
to  be  of  potential  value  in  guidance  situatioii 
It  is  hoped  that  these  will  be  modified  or  ( 
panded  to  meet  specific  purposes  and  that  thi 
will  suggest  new  applications. 

Motion  Pictures

ing  students.  One  publication  lists  50  colleges 
that  have  produced  their  own  orientation  films. 
Scenes  taken  from  various  college  campuses  can 
be  helpful  to  high  school  students  planning  to 
attend  college.  School-produced  films  can  be 
used  in  presenting  occupational  information, 
since  the  16mm  camera  enables  guidance  per- 
sonnel to  take  film  surveys  of  community  occupa- 
tions. This  information  can  be  presented  to  class- 
es studying  occupations. 

Such  films  may  also  be  valuable  in  the  area  of 
public  relations.  A  film  describing  school  guid- 
ance activities  can  be  used  in  presenting  guid- 
ance services  to  parent  and  community  groups. 
Most  audiovisual  directors  are  aware  of  the  many 
commercial  motion  pictures  available  for  deal- 
ing with  problems  of  school,  family  and  personal 
adjustment,  as  well  as  those  designed  to  present 
occupational  information.  Typicd  classifications 
of  these  films  are  readily  available  in  the  various 
film  catalogs.  Some  examples  are  Counseling, 
Personnel  Service,  Vocational  Guidance  and  Per- 
sonal Guidance.  Guidance  directors  need  help 
from  AV  specialists  in  selecting  appropriate  films 
in  these  areas. 

Bulletin  Boards 

Bulletin  boards  have  many  uses  in  guidance. 
Directors  (as  well  as  anyone  using  bulletin 
boards  as  a  teaching  device)  should  develop  a 
tear  sheet  file.  In  tnis  way  many  articles  and 
other  materials  of  significance  can  be  collected 
and  filed  for  later  use.  Bulletin  boards  can  be 
used  to  inform  students  of  the  present  occupa- 
tions of  graduates  and  former  students.  Photo- 
graphs can  be  displayed,  accompanied  by  a 
short  paragraph  describing  the  individual's  work, 
address,  or  plans  for  the  future.  In  the  area  of 
occupational  information,  local  help-wanted  ads 
can  Tbe  displayed  under  appropriate  headings. 
Occupational  descriptions  can  be  presented.  Bul- 
letin board  displays  are  eflFective  in  publicizing 
college  and  career  conferences. 

Student  committees  may  be  encouraged  to  con- 
tribute to  bulletin  board  displays  on  such  topics 
as  manners,  dating  and  family  adjustment.  Con- 
tributions by  student  cartoonists  can  add  appeal 
in  this  area.  Bulletin  boards  provide  an  excellent 
means  for  presenting  to  the  student  body  the  re- 


sults of  community  occupational  surveys  ai 
follow-up  studies.  A  few  carefully  selected  phot 
graphs  help  to  make  the  survey  an  interestii 
and  effective  bulletin  board  display. 

Charts,  Graphs  and  Posters 

Closely  related  to  bulletin  boards  is  the  visu 
area  of  charts,  graphs  and  posters.  Summaries 
community  occupational  surveys  or  follow-i 
studies  can  be  presented  graphically  for  bullet 
board  display  or  for  use  with  the  overhead 
opaque  projectors.  Colleges  can  be  compan 
grapnically  with  reference  to  cost  of  hving,  cu 
ricula,  degrees  granted  and  activities.  Occup 
tions  can  be  compared  graphically  with  refereni 
to  earnings,  training  required,  and  supply  at 
demand  of  workers.  Posters  prepared  by  studei 
committees  can  be  used  extensively  during  oric! 
tation  to  welcome  new  students.  Students  shoul 
be  encouraged  to  improve  their  achievement 
school  subjects  by  keeping  a  personal  chart  c 
which  they  record  their  daily  or  weekly  progres 

Fihnstrips,  Slides  and  Photographs 

The  use  of  commercial  filmstrips  dealing  wit 
problems  of  school,  family,  personal  adjustmei 
and  vocational  guidance  are  increasingly  avai 
able.  Sources  are  readily  foimd  in  the  comme: 
cial  guides  and  catalogs.  It  was  recommende 
by  the  participants  in  the  survey  that,  when  po; 
sible,  students,  counselors  and  teachers  mak 
their  own  filmstrips  of  guidance  activities.  A  tap 
recorder  might  be  used  to  produce  a  tape-recorc 
ed  narration  to  accompany  school-produced  slid 
sets  and  filmstrips. 

Viewers  may  be  used  by  individual  students  t 
study  filmstrips  and  slides  in  the  guidance  oflBct 
home  room,  library  or  in  the  study  hall.  Files  c 
filmstrips,  slides  or  photographs  can  be  made  i: 
connection  with  follow-up  studies  of  graduate 
and  former  students.  Photographs  and  slide 
might  provide  a  simple  way  of  recording  fiel< 
trips.  These  materials  can  then  be  used  to  intro 
duce  such  field  trips  when  they  are  repeated  wit) 
other  groups.  Filmstrips  and  slides  for  use  in  in 
service  training  in  the  administration  and  inter 
pretation  of  group  and  individual  tests  can  bi 
easily  and  inexpensively  prepared.   These  ma

THE  AV  DIRECTOR'S  RESPONSIBILITY 

Most  audiovisual  directors  will  find  that  directors  of  guidance  are 
willing  to  learn  more  about  the  use  of  AV  materials.  This  study  indi- 
cates that  one  of  the  important  problems  facing  guidance  directors  is 
"lack  of  time."  The  audiovisual  director  can  render  a  real  service  to 
the  guidance  program  by  offering  his  services  when  the  director  of 
guidance  plans  his  activities.  He  may  be  able,  for  example,  to  identify 
areas  in  which  audiovisual  materials  can  make  significant  contributions 
to  the  guidance  program. 


rials  provide  an  excellent  way  of  showing  work- 
g  conditions  within  the  various  occupations  in 
community. 

eld  Trips 

Guidance  directors  should  be  encouraged  to 
epare  students  for  the  field  trip  and  excursion 
>portunities  available  to  them  within  their  corn- 
unities.  Teachers  should  be  encouraged  to 
)int  out  vocational  implications  of  any  field 
ips  taken  in  connection  with  their  courses, 
irough  the  cooperation  of  school  oflBcials  and 
immunity  agencies  it  is  possible  to  compile  a 
indbook  of  field  trip  opportunities  such  as  the 
cellent  handbook  prepared  for  the  schools  of 
earborn,  Michigan.  A  handbook  of  this  kind 
lables  counselors  and  teachers  to  plan  more 
Fectively  for  field  trips.  It  could  include,  for  ex- 
nple: 

a.  The  name  and  brief  description  of  the  busi- 
ness, factory,  or  office  to  be  visited. 

b.  The  location  of  the  place  to  be  visited  with 
specific  directions  for  finding  it. 

c.The  age  and  number  of  students  permitted 
at  one  visit. 

d.  The  most  desirable  hours  for  visit. 

e.  The  name,  address,  and  phone  number  of 
the  person  to  contact  for  reservations. 

ape  Recorder 

The  tape  recorder  can  be  used  by  counselor  in 
iproving  his  interview  techniques.  Recordings 

case  conferences  can  be  filed  for  future  refer- 
3ce,  and  sample  interviews  and  other  guidance 
2tivities  can  be  recorded.  Interviews  of  former 
udents  in  on-the-job  situations  can  also  be  used 
1  occupations  classes. 

Recorded  sociodramas  can  be  catalogued  by 
)pics  and  used  in  individual  counseling  and 
roup  guidance  situations.  By  omitting  solutions, 
lese  can  also  be  employed  as  projective  devices, 
s  a  part  of  an  in-service  training  program  for 
ounselors,  tape  recorded  counseling  interviews 
an  be  exchanged  so  that  various  techniques  can 
e  reviewed  by  several  counselors  in  large  school 
ystems. 

Tape  recordings  can  be  made  of  music  and/or 
arration  to  accompany  slides,  filmstrips  or  mo- 
ion  pictures.  Commercial  radio  or  television 
)rograms  with  guidance  significance  can  be  re- 
orded  for  later  use  with  individuals  or  groups, 
"ield  trip  interviews  can  be  recorded  and  used 
o  introduce  such  field  trips  when  they  are  re- 
>eated. 


The  Opaque  Projector 

The  opaque  projector  was  used  in  a  limited 
fashion  by  me  participants  in  this  survey.  It  can 
be  helpful  in  presenting  occupational  literature 
to  groups  when  limited  copies  prevent  group  dis- 
tribution of  the  available  material.  In  school 
board  and  community  meetings,  the  opaque  pro- 
jector may  be  used  in  presenting  data  on  guid- 
ance services.  It  can  also  be  used  to  facilitate  the 
interpretation  of  test  profiles  to  teachers,  parents, 
and  students,  and  projection  of  cumulative  rec- 
ords will  enable  group  evaluation  of  available 
data. 

The  opaque  can  be  used  in  presenting  course 
descriptions,  schedules,  and  samples  of  students' 
work  on  parents'  night.  In  presenting  materials 
designed  tor  instructing  teachers  and  counselors 
in  the  administration  and  scoring  of  tests  in  in- 
service  training  situations,  the  opaque  projector 
is  time  saving  and  helps  to  give  common  under- 
standing. It  can  be  used,  too,  in  presenting  sum- 
marized data  on  occupational  surveys  and  follow- 
up  studies. 

The  Overhead  Transparency  Projector 

The  overhead  projector  was  the  least  used  by 
participants  of  any  of  the  audiovisual  materials 
listed  in  the  survey.  In  order  to  enable  guidance 
directors  to  utilize  the  overhead  projector  more 
fully  the  following  uses  are  suggested: 

a.  The  overhead  can  be  used  to  present  guid- 
ance information  in  school  board  meetings 
in  a  dramatic  way. 

b.  It  can  be  used  in  presenting  summarized 
data  on  occupations  or  follow-up  studies  in 
occupations  classes. 

c.  It  will  help  to  facilitate  the  administration 
of  group  tests  by  using  prepared  overlays. 

d.  Projecting  prepared  overlays  can  help  in  the 
registration  and  orientation  process. 

In  comments  volunteered  by  the  participants, 
several  individuals  indicated  that  their  immed- 
iate concern  was  not  the  use  of  additional  ma- 
terials but  more  effective  utilization  of  those 
audiovisual  materials  currently  available  to  them. 
When  asked  how  they  would  rate  audiovisual 
materials  in  their  programs,  many  qualified  their 
answers  with  such  statements  as  "in  certain  sit- 
uations," "if  properly  used,"  or  "it  depends." 
These  qualifications  indicate  that  guidance  di- 
rectors do  realize  that  the  value  of  such  ma- 
terials depends  to  a  large  extent  upon  their  prop- 
er utilization.

Tapes  Meet  Multiple  Class 

Needs  in  Small  Schooli 


by  Melvin  C.  Carpenter 


JL  HE  Catskill  Area  Project  in  Small  School  De- 
sign, now  enlisting  27  school  districts  on  the 
northwest  watershed  of  the  Catskills,  was  launch- 
ed in  1957,  supported  by  a  grant  from  the  Fund 
for  the  Advancement  of  Education.  The  project's 
purpose  is  to  search  for  educational  theories, 
techniques  and  practices  that  will  help  rural 
schools  improve  the  variety  and  quality  of  educa- 
tional opportunity  provided  for  girls  and  boys. 

Several  study  groups,  consisting  of  teachers 
and  administrators  (including  district  superin- 
tendents) from  the  participating  schools,  are 
constantly  at  work,  trying  out  new  techniques 
and  approaches,  refining  old  ones,  pooling  and 
sharing  their  experiences.  Among  these  study 
groups  is  one  concerned  with  multiple  class  oper- 
ation. Its  members  are  searching  for  ways  and 
means  to  provide  more  effective  teaching-learn- 
ing situations  in  multiple  classes— where  two  or 
more  levels  of  the  same  high  school  subject  are 
studied  or  where  two  or  more  separate  high 
school  subjects  are  studied  in  the  same  room  at 
the  same  time  with  the  same  teacher. 

The  purpose  behind  this  experimenting  is  to 
find  out  if  multiple  classes  can  be  as  effective  at 
the  high  school  level  as  they  are  in  the  lower

grades.  If  experimentation  shows  positive  resul 
then  multiple  classes  may  be  a  means  wherel 
small  schools,  with  their  small  staffs,  can  provii 
more  courses  and  higher  calibre  learning. 

Consistent,  carefully  planned  use  of  electron 
equipment,  especially  of  tape  recordings  and  r 
corders,  appears  to  be  one  likely  cue  to  succes 
ful  multiple  class  operation. 

At  Franklin  Central  School,  for  example,  L 
verne  Thomas  has  used  tape  recordings  in  h 
multiple  mathematics  classes  for  several  yeaj 
Tapes  he  cuts  himself,  together  with  compr 
hensive  "Learner  Guides"  he  has  developed 
accompany  as  well  as  supplement  textbooks  h 
pupils  use,  provide  the  essential  learning  m. 
terials  and  directives.  These  are  used  by  tl 
pupils  in  three  separate  classes  that  meet  regula 
ly  with  Mr.  Thomas  in  the  same  room  durin 
the  same  period  to  study  advanced  mathematic 
trigonometry  and  intermediate  algebra. 

Each  of  these  "classes"  works  in  its  own  sectio 
of  the  room.  Each  is  equipped  with  Learm 
Cuides,  textbooks,  tape  recorders  and  tapes  h 
has  cut.  These  carry  explanations  and  instru( 
tions.  Fast  learners  proceed  at  their  own  be: 
speeds;  slower  learners  "rehear"  the  tapes  to  th 
point  of  mastery.  The  teacher  therefore  is  nc 
obliged  to  devote  so  much  time  to  slower  learnei 
—the  tapes  he  has  cut  do  this  for  him.

as 


•  Sometimes  he  works  with  an  entire  "class,' 
i  introducing  a  new  topic  or  theory;  he  also 
\)rks  with  sub-groups  and  with  individuals  as 
1  moves  about  the  room  from  "class"  to  "class." 
J  believes  he  is  thus  enabled  to  give  more  in- 
vidual  attention,  when  and  if  such  is  needed, 

talented  pupils  as  well  as  to  slower  learners 
un  he  would  be  apt  to  provide  in  a  class  taught 

conventional  methods  in  the  conventional  one- 
bject  pattern.  It  is  certain  that  he  is  able  to 
eet  more  classes  than  he  could,  were  each  sub- 
;t  scheduled  for  a  separate  period. 
Mrs.  Margaret  Law,  teacher  of  foreign  lan- 
lages  at  Franklin,  two  years  ago  picked  up  the 
pe-recording  technique  from  her  colleague  in 
athematics.  She  has  since  been  using  it  con- 
tently  in  her  multiple  class  where  Latin  II, 
•ench  I  and  French  II  "classes"  meet  with  her 

the  same  room  during  the  same  period  each 
ly.  Some  of  the  tapes  her  pupils  use  were  cut  by 
itive  French  or  Spaniards.  Other  tapes  she  cuts 
rself  to  provide  instructions  that  augment  those 

the  textbooks  her  pupils  use  or  on  the  work- 
leets  she  has  developed  to  accompany  textbooks 
id  tapes. 

These  tapes  enable  her  pupils  to  audition  the 
sson  or  the  drill  materials  over  and  over  again, 
lus  freeing  her  from  routine  instructional  duties 
lid  giving  her  more  time  for  individual  and 
•oup  instruction.  Her  pupils,  moreover,  cut  tapes 
lemselves  and  play  back  their  own  recorded 
renunciations.  Thus  pupils  and  teacher  can  com- 
are  these  efforts  consistently  and  objectively. 

These  two  teachers,  one  of  mathematics  and 
ne  of  foreign  languages,  report  that  their  pupils 
;am  as  well,  if  not  better,  than  pupils  in  classes 
rganized  in  conventional  per-subject  classes  and 
lught  by  conventional  methods.  They  say  they 
squire  more  time  initially  for  making  lesson 
lans  and  auditioning  tapes  and  cutting  tapes  of 
leir  own.  Both  say  that  they  prefer  multiple- 
ass  operations  and  that  their  pupils  seem  to  be 
lore  alert,  possessed  of  more  initiative  and  ac- 
uire  better  study  habits  than  do  pupils  in  con- 
entional  classes.  Such  outcomes  appear  to  char- 
cterize  well-planned  use  of  tapes  and  related 


learning  materials  in  multiple  classes  in  other 
schools  participating  in  the  Catskill  Area  Project 
in  Small  School  Design. 

Tape  recordings  properly  used  free  teachers  of 
much  routine  drill  duty,  encourage  pupils  to  re- 
use these  learning  materials  as  often  as  needed, 
help  returned  absentees  make  up  missed  lessons 
without  drawing  heavily  on  the  teacher's  time 
and,  in  foreign  languages,  tapes  increase  oppor- 
tunity for  pupils  to  learn  proper  pronunciations 
by  repeated  hearing  of  native-speaking  voices. 
Moreover,  some  experimentation  suggests  that  a 
teacher  of  foreign  languages  can  guide  the  learn- 
ing of  pupils  in  foreign  tongues  not  known  to  the 
teacher,  where  adequately  developed  and  paced 
tape  recordings  with  related  learning  materials 
are  available. 

Costs  of  tapes  and  tape  recording  equipment 
are  negligible  when  compared  to  pupil  needs  so 
met  and  teacher-time  more  effectively  distributed 
and  efficiently  used.  Teachers  say  that  groups  in 
multiple  classes  quickly  adjust  to  this  kind  of 
learning  situation  and  are  not  bothered  by  activi- 
ties of  other  groups  in  the  room  or  by  the  tape 
recordings  in  use.  Headphones  for  each  pupil, 
where  tape  recorders  and  other  amplifying 
equipment  are  used,  are  not  essential  although 
these  may  be  desirable. 

Costs  per  pupil  for  individual  "listening  sta- 
tions," equipped  with  (1)  headphones,  (2)  mul- 
tiple "channels"  for  auditioning  separate  record- 
ings, and  (3)  volume  controls,  are  not  large 
either.  Donald  Gould,  teacher  of  industrial  arts 
at  the  Andrew  S.  Draper  Central  School,  Schene- 
vus,  has  constructed  15  types  of  auditioning  ap- 
paratus, any  one  of  which  can  be  assembled  and 
installed  by  industrial  arts  pupils  at  costs  for 
parts  per  individual  listening  station  ranging 
from  $3.65  to  $7.90  per  station. 

Such  equipment  designed  by  him  and  assem- 
bled and  installed  by  his  pupils  has  been  in  use 
in  the  business  education  class  at  Schenevus  for 
the  past  year  where  multiple  classes,  taught  by 
Mrs.  Mary  Scott,  have  proved  to  be  effective  and 
efficient.

Tape  Recorded 
Teaching  at 
Hagerstown 


by  Pearl  C  Snively 


A  ELEVisiON  tape  recording,  which  has  revolu- 
tionized the  television  broadcasting  industry 
more  than  other  technological  development,  is 
becoming  increasingly  important  on  the  national 
education  scene. 

One  of  the  crowoiing  achievements  of  teaching 
by  television  tape  is  that  it  has  inspired  a  most 
critical  evaluation  of  every  phase  of  education. 
This  runs  the  gamut  of  what,  how,  why  and 
when  to  teach  what  to  whom.  It  involves  deci- 
sions of  where  the  responsibility  should  lie  for 
the  development  and  maintenance  of  specific 
skills.  It  involves  ways  to  develop  the  maximum 
potential  of  every  child  into  an  intelligent,  use- 
ful, thinking  citizen  in  a  country  with  a  demo- 
cratic form  of  government.  By  means  of  the  Vid- 
eotape* television  recorder,  it  is  now  possible  for 
an  individual  teacher  to  envision  herself  in  this 
role  of  television  teacher,  where  her  effectiveness 
or  ineffectiveness  is  so  far-reaching. 

I  am  one  of  28  studio  teachers  to  become  ac- 
tively involved  in  the  county-wide  experimental 
closed-circuit  television  project  at  Hagerstown 
(Washington  County),  Maryland.  This  five-year 
project,  which  began  in  September,  1956,  is 
under  the  direct  supervision  and  control  of  the 
Washington  County  Board  of  Education.  Four 
organizations  have  cooperated  with  the  board 
in  this  program.  They  are  the  Fund  for  the 
Advancement  of  Education  (Ford  Foundation), 
Electronics  Industry  Association,  Ampex  Founda- 
tion, and  the  Chesapeake  and  Potomac  Tele- 
phone Company.  Their  invaluable  contributions 


°TM   Ampex  Corp.

have  included  equipment,  funds  for  system  de 
signing  and  assembly  and  assistance  with  pre 
duction  problems,  training  of  personnel  and  d( 
velopment  of  an  evaluation  program. 

The  supervisor  of  televised  instruction,  the  ai 
department,  and  we  28  studio  teachers  hav 
desks  in  the  teachers'  office  building  at  the  Tele 
vision  Center.  Adjoining  our  building  is  th 
studio  building  which  houses  the  five  studio 
from  which  our  telecasts  are  sent.  Also  in  thi 
studio  building  are  the  coordinator  of  the  tele 
vision  project,  the  secretaries,  the  engineer  anc 
his  assistant,  the  production  supervisor  and  hi: 
assistant,  a  film  room  and  of  course  a  room  fo; 
the  television  tape  recorder.  Across  the  drivewa) 
is  the  Board  of  Education  building  with  the 
offices  of  the  superintendent  and  other  admin 
istrative  personnel.  They  also  work  in  super- 
vision of  studio  teaching.  I  describe  this  physica 
arrangement  so  you  can  picture  the  close  prox- 
imity of  the  core  of  studio  teachers  to  the  ad- 
ministrative and  supervisory  staff  and  to  the 
studios  from  which  approximately  125  lessons 
are  sent  weekly. 

Each  school  day  about  92  percent  of  the  pupils 
of  the  county  receive  part  of  their  instnictior 
by  television;  the  other  eight  percent  are  attend- 
ing small  elementary  schools  which  are  not  yel 
connected  to  the  television  circuit. 

Television  has  made  every  pupil  a  private  pu- 
pil. The  television  teacher  can  now  look  into 
the  eye  of  every  pupil.  No  one  is  ignored.  This 
eye-to-eye  contact  brings  a  different  kind  of 
intimacy,  a  different  kind  of  sharing  that  is 
difficult  to  understand  until  experienced.  The 
studio  teacher,  too,  freed  of  trivia  that  harass 
most   classroom    teachers,    can    bring   a   certain 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — May,  196C 


lasing  friendliness  to  each  pupil  during  every 
son.  As  one  pupil  who  had  never  seen  his 
idio  teacher  in  jicrson  said,  "She  likes  us." 
When  the  pupils  are  viewing  in  large  groups, 
in  the  junior  high  schools,  there  is  still  an- 
ler  kind  of  "group  belongingness"  that  is 
fficult  to  describe.  There  is  a  close  teaching- 
iming  bond  between  the  studio  teacher  and 
eh  pupil  plus  the  togetherness-bond  of  the 
pil  and  his  large  group.  Thus  television  brings 
unique  something  which  our  coordinator  of 
levised  instruction  refers  to  as  "individvialized 
struction  in  a  group  situation."  This  is  in  ad- 
tion  to  and  therefore  does  not  displace,  the 
ng  recognized  values  of  the  live,  personal  rela- 
jnship  between  the  classroom  teacher  and  the 
ipil. 

The  Videotape  television  recorder  has  aided 
eatly  in  achieving  the  objectivity  needed  for 
eveloping  that  wholesome  feeling  of  self-con- 
dence  that  is  so  necessaiy  to  all  without  the 
agnating  effect  of  self-satisfaction.  With  the 
riteria  for  evaluating  a  TV  lesson  in  hand,  the 
udio  teacher  can  sit  alone,  view  the  taped 
;sson  on  the  screen  as  it  is  played  back  and 
idge  her  own  teaching.  Thus  she  can  escape 
le  curious  scrutiny  of  others  to  see  how  she 
;  "taking"  the  criticism.  This  form  of  evaluation 
liminates  her  suspicion  of  possible  bias  on  the 
art  of  the  critic.  The  teacher  can  concentrate 
n  her  teaching  and  not  on  why  others  are  criti- 
izing  her. 
The  recorder  lets  her  judge  for  herself  whether 
he  talks  too  much.  It  lets  her  see  for  herself 
lat  a  good  visual  aid  can  replace  many  repeti- 
ous  words.  She  recognizes  the  reasons  why 
tiany  pupils  become  deaf  to  teacher's  directions, 
'eachers  repeat  them  too  often.  A  principal  once 
old  me  of  counting  the  number  of  times  a  teach- 
r  had  repeated  the  directions  for  a  certain  as- 
ignment:  14  times.  Of  course  this  was  a  rare 
ase.  But  children  listen  only  if  there  is  a  need 
o  listen.  This  television  has  taught  us.  Listening 
kills  are  making  tremendous  growth. 

The  pacing  of  a  lesson  can  be  checked.  The 
xiticisms  from  teachers  can  become  confusing 
vhen  one  says  it  was  too  fast  while  another  says 
t  was  too  slow— if  one  says  there  was  too  much 
vhile  another  says  there  was  too  httle.  By 
leeing  a  taped  lesson  we  can  judge  according  to 
)ur  own  goals  for  each  particular  portion  of 
he  lesson.  This  aid  in  pacing  involves  the  speed 
ivith  which  the  material  is  presented;  the  amount 
)f  content;  the  rate  of  speech;  the  time  allotted 
or  pupils  to  think  or  to  write;  and  the  amount 
of  time  allowed  for  the  development  of  a  par- 
ticular concept. 

The  teacher  can  see  what  really  is  important 
and  learn  not  to  become  too  much  concerned 
aver  relatively  unimportant  items.  Some  dis- 
covered they  were  bickering  over  words  unim- 
portant to  the  lesson  that  slowed  an  otherwise 
good  tempo.  It  helps  develop  a  better  sense  of 
value,  of  proportion. 

Writing  can  be  checked  from  the  pupils'  point 
of  view.  We  can  see  if  the  letters  or  words  are 
too  close  together  for  ease  in  reading.  We  can 
see  the  importance  of  the  proper  forming  of 
each  letter  for  legibility,  for  example. 

Seeing   ourselves   has   lent   encouragement  to

some.  It  has  been  possible  to  see  our  strengths 
so  we  can  capitahze  on  them  until  our  weak- 
nesses are  remedied.  We  have  seen  the  effective- 
ness or  ineffectiveness  of  specific  techniques  and 
know  what  to  work  on. 

The  Videotape  recorder  is  an  objective,  im- 
personal device  rather  than  a  personal  weapon, 
thus  it  has  provided  a  highly  improved  form 
of  evaluation. 

Some  of  us  saw  that  we  were  guilty  of  the 
same  defects  we  had  been  trying  to  correct  in 
our  students:  faulty  phrasing,  monotonous  dron- 
ing, halting  style,  superfluous  uh's,  ah's  and 
anda's,  unpleasantly  high  pitch,  shrillness.of  qual- 
ity, and  a  pace  too  slow  to  maintain  interest  or 
too  fast  for  thought  and  absorption.  Of  course 
some  teachers  found  their  quality  of  speech 
good  and  thus  gained  more  poise  and  confidence. 

Viewing  ourselves  on  the  screen  has  helped 
us  see  those  little  personal  mannerisms  or  ec- 
centricities that  even  our  best  friends  won't  tell 
us.  As  one  teacher  commented  after  seeing  her- 
self, "I  make  me  sick."  We  can  analyze  ourselves 
from  a  personal  standpoint  and  can  check  if  we 
are  looking  into  the  camera  and  thus  making 
eye-to-eye  contact. 

A  teacher  can  sit  with  a  supervisor  and  view 
another  teacher's  tape  and  analyze  the  principles 
of  good  teaching  within  it  at  a  mutually  con- 
venient time. 

J.  HE  taped  lessons  can  be  showni  to  PTA's, 
civic  groups  and  visitors  as  an  aid  to  the  interpre- 
tation of  the  school  program— to  more  complete 
understanding. 

By  having  a  lesson  taped  before  time  for  pres- 
entation, it  has  become  possible  for  studio  teach- 
ers to  be  away  for  important  meetings  such  as 
the  convention  of  the  National  Science  Teachers 
Association  held  in  Atlantic  City.  Another  was 
able  to  attend  a  son's  college  graduation.  Another 
studio  teacher  was  freed  to  administer  a  test 
in  another  subject  matter  field.  Thus  a  profes- 
sional person  was  made  available  for  the  testing 
job  and  the  lesson  was  also  taught.  Dollars  were 
saved. 

One  of  the  great  advantages  of  using  the  re- 
corder is  related  to  the  overcrowded  conditions 
in  one  school  while  a  new  school  is  being  con- 
structed. The  older  building  is  used  by  the  senior 
high  school  students  in  the  morning  and  by  the 
junior  high  school  in  the  afternoon.  Since  my 
seventh  grade  core-lessons  are  telecast  in  the 
morning,  we  tape  those  lessons  during  the  live 
telecast  and  play  them  at  a  convenient  time  for 
the  second-shift  students  in  the  afternoon.  Thus 
the  televised  program  can  continue  for  all  un- 
interrupted. 

Tape  gives  us  an  opportunity  to  observe  the 
reaction  of  a  class  as  the  lesson  is  being  taught 
—the  interest  of  the  pupil  in  the  subject  matter, 
the  effectiveness  of  different  types  of  student 
participation,  the  need  for  variety  in  the  pacing 
of  a  lesson,  the  ability  of  pupils  to  take  notes 
and  to  recognize  their  problems  in  note-taking, 
the  effectiveness  of  teaching  aids,  different  types 
of  camera  shots  and  lighting  effects. 

By  means  of  the  recorder,  the  studio  teacher 
can  be  in  two  places  at  the  same  time.  She  can 


be  on  the  TV  screen  and  still  be  present  at 
school  in  a  remote  place  for  a  follow-up.  Tl 
the  studio  teacher  is  able  to  keep  in  touch  w 
the  reality  of  the  classroom  situation,  to  sei 
tlie  problems,  to  get  suggestions  firsthand  fr 
the  classroom  teacher.  It  enables  the  stude 
to  know  the  studio  teacher  as  a  real  person  rati 
than  as  a  picture  on  a  screen. 

It  is  now  possible  for  us  to  use,  and  keep 
future  use,  resources  far  beyond  a  teacher's  gre 
est  dream.  In  the  spring  of  '59,  students  from 
countries  spent  a  week  in  Hagerstown  studyi 
the  educational  set-up.  These  students  were  us 
on  our  telecasts  in  interviews,  discussions,  in  j 
tional  dances,  in  games,  in  singing,  in  playi 
musical  instruments  common  to  their  count 
in  making  handicrafts,  and  wearing  their  natioi 
dress.  Many  of  these  experiences  were  tap 
for  future  use. 

An  expert,  such  as  a  leather  carver,  can  coi 
from  a  distant  point  and  tape  a  demonstrati 
of  leather  carving,  another  can  demonstrate  t 
weaving  and  judging  of  oriental  rugs,  anoth 
the  importance  of  map  reading  to  the  defen 
of  our  country,  and  still  others  how  they  cross- 
the  Sahara  by  motor  scooter.  These  can  be  pi 
served   indefinitely   for  timely  telecasting. 

How  has  my  teaching  ability  improved  wi 
television?  Television  has  made  it  possible  f 
me  to  look  each  pupil  in  the  eye  and  talk  ai 
think  together  with  him  until  we  have  made  1 
problem  clear.  Whenever  we  need  some  sketc 
some  model,  some  map,  some  clever  movir 
gadget  to  make  the  difficult  part  clearer,  we  ha- 
lt as  quickly  as  the  Genie  of  the  Camera  a 
produce  it  and  that  is  at  the  precise  instant  v 
wish  it. 

My  pupil  (each  one  of  the  1,900)  can  alwa; 
see  it  quite  clearly  from  his  "front  row"  se£i 
If  it  is  something  too  precious  to  move  from 
glass  case,  there  it  is  right  out  where  he  c£ 
see  it  and  have  it  turned  around.  If  it  is  som 
thing  like  a  loom  from  Iran,  it  doesn't  just  s 
there— someone  who  knows  shows  how  it  is  usei 
And  if  it's  an  oriental  rug,  it  doesn't  just  han 
there;  he  hears  why  those  particular  colors  an 
designs  are  in  it,  what  makes  it  such  a  valuab^ 
one.  He  sees  films  and  tapes  showing  the  wa 
people  live  in  the  country  where  it  was  madi 

What  do  I  think  of  teaching  by  television 
Television  has  made  the  most  challenging  de 
mands  on  teachers  and  teaching,  but  in  so  doin 
it  has  softened  the  arteries  of  thought.  I  see  fc 
the  School  of  the  Future  as  little  likelihood  c 
teaching  without  television  and  the  recorder  a 
there  is  likelihood  of  books  without  pictures.  1 
has  revealed  new  horizons  that  stimulate  us  t 
further  study  of  how  to  use  this  powerful  rt 
source  for  improving  the  quality  of  our  teaching 
Through  the  use  of  the  recorder,  teaching  ha 
been  revealed  in  stark  reality.  An  electronic  de 
vice  exposed  me  and  my  teaching  without  ou 
protective  shields  of  good  intentions  and  con 
scientious  endeavor.  I  stand  with  my  rationaliza 
tions,  prejudices,  and  weaknesses  clearly  revealei 
before  me  for  just  what  they  are.  For,  as  Rober 
Bums  might  have  said: 

"Now  some  Power  the  gift  hae  giv'n  us—      M 
We  see  oursels  as  ithers  see  us!"  •"

Planning  An  AV  Conference? 


This  Florida  State  University  conference  on  in- 
structional materials  in  modern  languages  was 
ovitf  one  of  many  regional  AV  meetings  during 
recent  months.  But  it  was  so  well  planned— 
and  had  such  fruitful  results— that  Educational 
Screen  and  AV  Guide  decided  to  carry  a  brief 
rundown  of  its  scheduling. 

Submitted  through  the  courtesy  of  Dr.  Otis 
McBride,  head  of  Department  of  Audio-Visual 
Education,  Florida  State  University. 


Thursday 

7:00  p.m. 

The  conference  opened  Thursday  evening 
with  registration,  and  a  social  hour,  in  the  lec- 
ture hall  and  lounge  of  the  School  of  Educa- 
tion. 

Friday 

8:30  a.m. 

Dr.  Oelschlager  presented  the  president  of 
Florida  State  University,  Dr.  Robert  Strozier, 
who  greeted  the  group  and  wished  it  well  in 
the  conference. 

Ten  modern  language  laboratory  setups  were 
established  around  the  walls  of  the  lecture  hall 
.  —in  which  the  meetings  were  held.  This  work- 
ed out  to  be  a  rather  ideal  situation.  At  every 
coffee  break  and  before  and  after  sessions,  con- 
ference participants  had  opportunity  to  look 
at  the  modern  language  laboratory  equipment 
and  talk  with  the  representatives. 

9:00  a.m. 

At  this  session  Mr.  Barry  Morris,  chairman, 
presented  Dr.  Oelschlager  who  reviewed  mod- 
em trends  in  language  teaching,  followed  by 
Mr.  O.  E.  Perez,  who  discussed  thoroughly  the 
modem  language  curriculum  in  the  elemen- 
tary and  secondary  schools. 

10:20  a.m. 

This  session  presented  a  symposium  on  NDEA 
—its  immediate  and  potential  effects  on  lan- 
guage teaching.  The  members  of  the  panel 
discussed  some  of  the  phases  of  modern  lan- 
guage teaching  in  public  schools,  junior  col- 
leges, and  county-wide  basis. 

1:30  p.m. 

The  chairman  of  the  session,  Dr.  Max  Oppen- 

heimer,  presented  first  Dr.  Joseph  Hutchinson, 


NDEA,  U.  S.  Office  of  Education.  Dr.  Hutch- 
inson, the  specialist  for  the  NDEA  office  on 
modern  language  laboratories  and  their  oper- 
ation, discussed  some  of  the  aspects  and  prob- 
lems in  the  whole  area. 

2:30  p.m. 

Next  came  Dr.  Ted  Mueller,  associate  profes- 
sor. Department  of  Modem  Languages,  Uni- 
versity of  Florida.  In  his  presentation,  he  dealt 
primarily  with  the  material  for  the  modem 
language  laboratory,  the  tapes  to  be  used,  the 
production  of  those  tapes,  learning  through 
repetitive  procedure  as  done  with  a  language 
tape. 

3:20  p.m. 

Mr.  James  Harbin,  director,  Materials  of  In- 
struction, Leon  County  Schools,  chairman  of 
the  3:20  session,  presented  Dr.  Ted  Mueller  in 
a  demonstration,  play-by-play  account  of  the 
working  of  the  modern  language  laboratory. 

Saturday 

9:00  a.m. 

At  this  time  AV  dealers  were  given  a  space  of 
ten  minutes  to  explain  briefly  the  operation 
and  favorable  characteristics  of  the  equipment 
he  was  selling.  A  great  many  questions  were 
asked  and  a  great  deal  of  information  regard- 
ing modern  language  laboratories  was  brought 
forth. 

11:35  a.m. 

This  session  consisted  of  Presentation  and  Dis- 
cussion of  Visual  Materials  for  the  Teaching  of 
Modern  Languages,  with  Miss  Mary  Alice 
*  Hunt;  and  The  Place  of  Educational  Televi- 
sion in  Modern  Language  Teaching,  Dr. 
Joseph  Hooten. 

12:00  noon 

Dr.  Oelschlager  presented  Dr.  Karl  S.  Pond, 
director  of  Modern  Language  Laboratories, 
University  of  Miami,  who,  using  a  number  of 
slides  for  the  overhead  projector,  presented 
laboratory  lists,  introduced  shortcuts  and  stud- 
ied drill  methods  which  would  aid  in  the  ac- 
quisition of  a  workable  vocabulary  and  the 
correct  handling  of  the  problem  of  grammar. 
Following  his  presentation  the  conference  was 
summarized  by  Dr.  Oelschlager  and  Mr.  O.  E. 
Perez.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


If  one  picture  is  to  be  worth  the 
tliousand  words  we  are  always  hearing 
about,  then  it  had  better  be  a  good 
picture.  Personally  we  think  this  is  a 
much  overrated  statement,  and  one 
that  has  done  as  much  harm  as  good. 
We  have  seen  many  pictures  that  were 
not  wortli  ten  words,  and  they  did 
more  mischief  than  good. 

For  instance,  those  pictures  that  in- 
clude all  possible  details  of  a  situation 
and  include  every  item  that  has  any 
bearing  upon  the  subject.  Crowded 
into  this  picture  will  be  houses,  trees, 
animals,  people,  grass,  flowers,  chil- 
dren, adults,  homes,  boats,  trains,  air- 
planes and  every  creeping  thing  that 
can  possibly  get  into  the  picture. 

The  viewer  is  at  a  loss  to  identify 
any  specific  point  of  focus  until  he 
has  spent  considerable  time  letting  his 
eyes  roam  over  and  around  the  mass 
of  details.  When  said  eyes  finally  come 
to  rest  on  some  particular  corner,  they 
will  probably  be  so  tired  trying  to  take 
in  the  mass  of  minutiae,  that  they  fail 
to  convey  a  clear  message  to  the  brain 
and  the  picture  is  passed  and  forgot- 
ten. Instead  of  leaving  a  vivid  impres- 
sion on  the  mind  of  the  viewer,  there

will  hardly  be  a  memory  or  impression 
of  anything  beyond  a  sort  of  recollec- 
tion of  some  vague  shapes  and  colors. 
It  is  time  the  ones  controlling  the 
focusing  of  the  lens  of  a  camera  or  the 
brush  or  pen  that  delineates  a  picture 
realize  something  of  what  we  have 
tried  to  say  above,  and  give  us  simple, 
clear  pictures;  pictures  that  one  can 
recognize  without  an  hour  of  puzzle- 
ment over  details;  pictures  that  at- 
tract the  eye  and  invite  the  viewer  to 
examine  and  enjoy  a  representation  of 
something  that  has  meaning  for  him 
as  part  of  a  course  of  learning.  Cer- 
tainly when  it  comes  to  the  matter  of 
filmstrips,  with  the  already  small  area 
available  for  a  picture,  the  meaning 
and  purpose  of  the  pictorial  content 
should  be  kept  in  mind.  Each  frame 
should  show  its  story  in  such  a  way 
that  we  can  recognize  objects  and  peo- 
ple; nonessential  details  should  be 
omitted;  major  details  should  be  high- 
lighted, and  a  bit  of  beauty  included 
in  the  color  presentation.  Then  the  pic- 
tures might  really  be  worth  using. 

Wild  Animals  of  Pioneer  America 
(a  set  of  8  study  prints;  produced 
by  Audio-Visual  Enterprises,  P.  O.  Box 
8686,  Los  Angeles  8,  Calif.;  $9.75  per 
set).  The  animals  of  the  new  world 
were  very  important  in  the  exploration 
and  settlement  of  the  colonies  and 
played  a  very  prominent  role  in  the 
life  of  the  early  settlers.  This  set  of 
lithograph  pictures  gives  us  large, 
clear  pictures,  easy  to  identify,  well 
organized  as  to  background  and  de- 
tails. The  animals  included  are  the 
wild  horse,  seat  otter,  beaver,  Ameri- 
can bison,  deer,  grizzly  bear,  gray 
wolf.  The  artist  jesponsible  for  the 
work  has  prepared  habitat  groups  for 
museums,  and  brings  to  the  prints  the 
same  technique  of  presenting  animal 
and  natural  habitat  in  such  a  way  as 
to  give  some  concept  of  the  value  and 
importance  of  each.  The  material  will 
be  useful  for  any  units  of  work  in 
social  studies,  nature  science,  natural 
history;  it  is  a  type  of  picture  presen- 
tation with  appeal  and  can  be  used  for 
bulletin  di-splays,  study  and  discussion. 

Leaders  of  America  (6  filmstrips, 
black  and  white;  produced  by  Ency- 
clopaedia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil- 


mette  Ave.,  Wilmette,  111.;  $18  per  sc 
$3  single  strips).  The  third  in  a  seri 
of  sets  dealing  with  outstanding  fi' 
iires  in  the  history  of  our  country,  th 
set  focuses  attention  on  Lincoln,  Jac 
son,  Webster,  Calhoun,  Lafayette  ai 
John  Quincy  Adams.  These  are  n 
personal  biographies  but  an  attem; 
to  give  those  episodes  in  the  lives 
the  men  that  serve  to  show  us  wh 
they  contributed  to  the  developmo 
of  our  country.  You  might  call  the 
biographical  vignettes,  and  they  a 
be  made  to  serve  as  the  basis  fi 
lengthier  studies  of  social  events,  poli 
ical  campaigns  and  economic  deve 
opments.  The  personalities  are  painte 
against  the  background  of  their  o 
reers  and  work.  Intended  for  use  i 
the  middle  grades  and  higher,  espec 
ally  for  social  science  and  history. 

India  and  Ceylon  (6  strips,  coloi 
produced  by  Jam  Handy  Org.,  282. 
E.  Grand  Blvd.,  Detroit  11,  Michigan 
$31.50  per  set,  $5.75  single  strips) 
The  specific  areas  included  in  theS' 
studies  are  Ceylon,  the  farm  and  vil 
lage  sections  of  both  northern  am 
southern  India,  Delhi  and  New  Delhi 
the  Vale  of  Kashmir,  the  Ganges  Val 
ley  and  the  Malabar  Coast.  Major  in 
dustries  and  ways  of  earning  a  livinj 
are  highlighted.  Special  attention  i 
given  to  the  contrasts  to  be  found  be 
tween  ancient  and  modem  ways  o 
living  and  the  problems  encounterec 
by  those  who  would  assist  in  improv 
ing  both  agricultural  and  industria 
life.  The  photographs  have  been  wel 
selected  and  they  show  a  good  cros; 
section  of  the  people  in  this  part  ol 
the  world.  The  material  is  good  foi 
social  studies  and  for  international  af- 
fairs units. 


Our  Ever-Changing  Earth  (6 
strips,  color;  produced  by  Society  for 
Visual  Education,  1345  Diversey  Park- 
way, Chicago  14,  111.;  $32.40  per  set, 
$6  single  strips).  Our  earth  is  in  a 
constant  state  of  change,  the  work  of 
running  water,  wind,  ground  water, 
the  sea,  snow  and  ice  and  internal 
forces.  It  is  fascinating  to  consider  the 
many  forces  which  are  always  at  work 
in  this  process  of  change  and  to  see 
how  it  all  affects  our  way  of  life.  There 
are  man\-  diagrams  and  charts  to  help 
explain  such  things  as  erosion,  water 
table,  stalagmite,  runoff,  etc.  Basic 
facts  are  grouped  and  well  persented; 
scientific  terminology  is  simplified. 
The  material  can  be  used  in  conjunc- 
tion with  standard  textbook  work  or 
as  preparation  for  field  trips  and  fur- 
ther research.  It  is  best  suited  to  the 
upper  grades  and  \\  ill  hold  the  interest 
of  pupils  at  this  grade  level.

AV 

in  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Sell  Utilization  As  Well 

About  one  year  after  enthusiasti- 
cally previewing  that  remarkable  film 
Rembrandt:  Painter  of  Man,  I  tried  to 
book  it  for  use  in  a  Lenten  program 
of  one  of  our  couples  clubs.  Do  you 
think  I  could  find  a  color  print!  two 
tries  in  New  York;  one  at  a  big  uni- 
versity; another  big  film  hbrary.  No 
luck. 

In  desperation  I  phoned  Coronet 
Films  in  Chicago,  the  concern  which 
made  this  Dutch-produced  master- 
piece available  in  this  country.  That 
Grand  -  Man  -of-  Films,  Ellsworth  C. 
Dent,  was  called  to  the  phone  and  I 
learned  that  the  film  had  not  sold 
widely.  "But,"  I  said,  "it  is  a  great 
document,  why  didn't  you  sell  it?" 
Among  the  reasons  he  gave  was  one 
that  hit  me  hard— "People  just  assum- 
ed that  it  was  another  'art'  film,  I  sup- 
pose, and  thought  they  had  enough 
in  that  category." 

As  I  thought  over  my  conversation 
with  this  great  AV  salesman  and  edu- 
cator, I  began  to  think  that  one  has  to 


do  more  than  sell  films.  He  must  sell 
utilization,  too.  He  must  sell  it  as  good 
for  some  use;  as  good  for  some  group; 
as  good  for  some  occasion.  And  this 
selling  must  begin  at  the  top  and  go 
all  the  way  to  the  bottom— the  user. 

Now  this  Rembrandt  film  is  great! 
It's  a  human  document  of  power.  I 
know.  I  have  seen  it  four  times,  used 
it  once.  I  am  not  fooled— too  old  for 
that!  Here  is  a  film  that  church  peo- 
ple ought  to  see  for  two  reasons, 
among  dozens:  it  is  great  art  that  they 
will  see,  and  they  will  see  it  better 
than  if  they  went  from  museum  to 
museum  and  confronted  the  pictures 
themselves.  (This  was  the  comment 
of  a  much-traveled  member  of  that 
Lenten  audience). 

After  the  art  comes  the  second  rea- 
son: It  is  the  power  of  this  film,  when 
given  a  proper  setting  and  context,  to 
give  people  a  valid  religious  experi- 
ence. You  should  have  seen  that  audi- 
ence on  March  2nd!  It  was  a  number 
of  seconds  before  it  could  get  its  ob- 
jectivity back,  and  then  it  just  had  to 
applaud.  And  I  have  never  had  more 


Kenneth  J.  Anderson,  director  of  Christian  education,  Lutheran 
Church  of  the  Good  Shepherd,  Minneapolis,  is  seen  discussing  the  use 
of  the  AV  training  kit,  "Using  Audio-Visual  Aids  In  A  Church,"  with 
Mrs.  Sihler,  film  supervisor  for  the  church.  All  four  titles  in  this 
series  were  produced  by  Family  Filmstrips,  Inc.  They  were  widely 
used  in  this  church  to  'sell'  the  idea  of  visual  aids  as  well  as  train 
the  teachers  of  the  various  departments. 


appreciative  comments   about  a  fill 
than    about    Rembrandt:    Painter   oj 
Man. 

The  university  library   said  it  hacJ 
had  some  calls  for  the  film,  but  the'l 
had  not  bought  it.  They  may  have  fel  ''| 
they  were  already  heavy  on  art  films 
Another  New  York  City  library  sai( 
they  had  a  black  and  white  print,  if 
could  use  that.   Black  and  white  fn 
Rembrandt!    How   much   of   the   rea 
Rembrandt  can  you  convey  in  b&w 
Some,  of  course,  but  not  enough  fo 
use  with  a  general  audience. 

Well  do  I  realize  that  such  a  filn 
comes  at  a  pretty  stiff  print-price  anc 
that  the  library  must  consider  hov 
and  when  it  will  get  its  money  bad 
from  rentals  and  earn  something  on  it: 
investment  of  capital  and  overhead 
But  my  point  is  that  such  a  film  mus 
not  only  be  sold  to  the  library  as  goot 
for  something  but  the  library  mus' 
'sell'  it  to  its  user  clientele.  It  is  no 
enough  to  announce  such  a  film.  Cer 
tainly  you'd  never  say  to  a  church 
school,  club  cr  any  potential  custom 
er:  "We've  another  art  film,  this  one': 
on  Rembrandt.  Hope  you  can  use  it 
some  time." 

I  hope  I  have  made  my  point:  Film; 
must  be  sold  and  rented  in  terms  oi 
their  usefulness,  and  both  producei 
and  library  must  go  beyond  title  an- 
nouncements in  these  times  when  hun- 
dreds of  good  titles  compete  for  atten- 
tion. For  users  have  none  too  mucli 
imagination  when  it  comes  to  setting  j 
audio  visual  aids  of  all  kinds  into  some 
on-going  program,  be  it  church,  syna- 
gogue, school,  or  community  organi- 
zation. 


Catholic  AV  on  Increase 

"The  use  of  audiovisual  material  in 
Catholic  religious  education  has  in- 
creased some  200  percent  in  the  past 
ten  years,  and  approximately  two  out 
of  every  three  parishes  in  the  country 
are  using  some  type  of  films  or  film- 
strips  in  their  religious  education  pro- 
gram," stated  Rev.  Michael  F.  Mul- 
len, CM.,  of  the  faculty  of  St.  John's 
University,  Jamaica,  N.  Y.,  vice  presi- 
dent and  chairman  of  the  evaluation 
committee  for  the  Catholic  Audio  Vis- 
ual Educators  Association  (Box  618, 
Church  Street  P.  O.,  New  York  8). 

"Although  Catholics  are  relative 
newcomers  in  the  field  of  audiovisual 
education,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that 
there  are  now  over  235  films  and  some 
736  filmstrips  available  for  use  in  the 
classroom,"  he  stated.  The  source 
availability  and  cost  of  this  material 
has  been  listed  in  the  second  annual 
ediiton  of  CAVE's  Evaluation  and  Di- 
rectory, Father  Mullen  indicated.

According    to     a    film    executive 
q)ted  in  the  current  annual  report 

SFilm  World,  the  church  audiovisual 
id  is  growing  so  rapidly  that  it  will 
i^in  outstrip  the  educational  field  in 
i-  amount  and  variety  of  audiovisual 
Iterials,"  stated  Father  Mullen.  "In 
i'ping  up  with  this  tremendous 
j)wth,  CAVE  for  the  past  three  years 
U  been  evaluating  the  worth  of  film 
i;i  filmstrip  material  as  a  guide  to 
i  igious  teachers  throughout  the 
i>rld. 

"Our  organization  has  a  15-member 
iluation  committee  with  members 
ated  in  New  York,  Chicago  and 
ffalo,  and  we  use  a  ten  point  cri- 
•ion  for  evaluation  based  on  Catholic 
ology,  philosophy,  and  psychology, 
;ether  with  film  objectives  and  tech- 
;al  excellence,  to  rate  productions," 
indicated.  The  Directory  is  a  sum- 
iry  of  the  findings  of  the  committee. 
"CAVE  sincerely  hopes  that  Catho- 
educators  throughout  the  country 
11  take  advantage  of  the  work  which 
s  been  done  in  the  audiovisual  field 
d  become  acquainted  with  the  tre- 
jndous  opportunities  afforded  them 
increase  the  effectiveness  of  their 
iching  by  these  new  methods," 
ther  MuUen  concluded. 


utstanding  Film 

Having  seen  most  of  the  'human 
production'  films  and  finding  many 
them  of  the  nuts-and-bolts  variety, 
is  good  to  come  across  one  which  is 
ith  artistic  and  solid  science.  If 
ere  is  any  subject  which  needs  to  be 
sated  as  beyond  plain  facts  it  is  the 
eat  and  beautiful  and  divine  story 
human  love  and  reproduction.  This 
;atment  I  found  in  From  Generation 
>  Generation. 

In  it  there  are  three  categories  of 
lotography— exquisitely  beautiful  na- 
re  scenes,  beautiful  and  appealing 
ots  of  a  family  amid  these  scenes 
id  at  home,  and  the  sensitively  beau- 
ul  animations  of  an  artist  who  was 
ell  aware  of  the  beauty,  wonder, 
ystery  of  the  subject  matter  under 
s  hand."  (Released  to  the  religious

years  of  age,  and  some  parents  will 
want  their  Juniors  to  see  it.  It  tells  the 
story  from  conception  onward  and 
places  the  coming  of  the  New  Life 
amid  the  rhythms  of  nature  and  the 
love-circle  of  mother,  father  and  an 
older  child.  This  film  can  be  shown 
to  the  family  group,  and  you  can  say 
this  of  few  others.  It  can  be  shown 
to  girls,  young  women,  couples  both 
married  and  unmarried.  It  makes  more 
than  factual  impact.  It  carries  the 
overtones  of  the  human;  rises  above 
disgustingly  candid. 

While  highly  recommending  this 
film  to  the  churches  for  use  with  youth 
fellowship  groups,  youth  clubs,  young 
adults,  and  adult  groups,  one  word  of 
caution  may  not  be  out  of  place.  Please 
give  such  a  film  the  right  kind  of  con- 
text—serious, quiet,  artistic,  spiritual; 
not  casual,  flippant,  or  worst  of  all 
matter-of-fact.  If  you  can't  set  it  in  a 
suitable  context,  send  it  back;  don't 
run  it. 

Meet  The  Press  Secretary 

Meet  not  only  her  but  a  lot  of  fine 
ideas  about  how  to  get  publicity  for 
your  church  in  the  film  Making  It 
Work.  How  you  are  going  to  keep  that 


title  associated  with  the  contents  of 
this  fine  film,  I  don't  know! 

Produced  by  the  Seventh  Day  Ad- 
ventists,  this  film  is  a  polished  per- 
formance both  technically  and  in  con- 
tent. Ministers  should  see  it  to  help 
motivate  them  to  appoint  a  'press 
secretary'  for  their  church.  Official 
boards  should  see  it  so  they  will  ap- 
propriate a  little  budget-money  for 
this  type  of  effort.  All  those  who  now 
perform  the  duties  of  press  secretaries 
for  their  churches  or  any  groups  with- 
in the  church  should  see  it  to  get 
wised  up  on  how  to  approach  the 
newspapers,  the  radio  and  the  TV  sta- 
tions. In  20-some  minutes  there's  a  lot 
of  elucidation.  (Availability  not

Siam  On  The  Sampan 

You  will  chuckle  every  time  you 
remember  the  cat  fight,  of  all  places, 
in  the  primeval  ooze  of  a  riverbank. 
You  will  see  it  in  the  31-minute  color 
film  Siam.  You  will  see  people,  rice 
farming,  sampan  commerce,  religious 
festivals,  royal  pageantry,  working  ele- 
phants, and— that  cat  fight!  When  they 


come  up  out  of  that  mud!  I  still  shake 
with  laughter! 

This  is  a  Walt  Disney  package.  It 
has  nothing  to  do  with  missions.  Don't 
look  at  it  for  that.  See  it  for  its  hu- 
manity, God's  humanity.  See  youii 
neighbors,  now  just  around  the  comei 
in  this  atomic  age.  After  all,  every  in- 
telligent person  wants  to  know  some- 
thing of  his  neighbors  and  via  this 
film,  your  acquaintance  with  the  folk} 
of  (Siam)  Thailand  is  a  pleasant  ex- 
perience. You'll  not  forget  about  the 
charming  Thai  people,  their  rivers  anc 
their  floods,  the  rice,  and  sampans 
and  Buddhist  monks  begging  theii 
breakfasts,  and  that  fancy  and  feroci- 
ous Thai  boxing,  and— that  cat  fight. 

What  a  fine  film  for  the  famil> 
night,  the  couple's  club,  the  men's  fel- 
lowship group!  Ask  the  I6mm  divi-

iendly  policeman  is  shown  discussing 
affic  with  a  boy  and  girl  of  nine  or 
■n  years  of  age.  The  title  fades  out 
i  animated  figures  illustrate  how  the 
rotagonists  in  the  film  become  a  part 
f  traffic  by  going  to  school,  to  the 
brary,  to  the  store,  and  to  the  play- 
round.  Various  types  of  traffic  are 
hown  as  bicycles,  cars,  buses  and  pe- 
estrians  go  their  various  ways. 

The  friendly  policeman— now  only 
n  off-stage  voice— comments  that 
lere  are  certain  things  all  people  must 
lo  in  order  to  be  safe  and  to  get 
/here  they  are  going.  The  young 
hildren  volunteer  that  these  proce- 
lures  are  called  rules  and  they  give 
s  examples  of  rules  they  already 
now:  look  both  ways  when  you  cross 

street;    stop,   look,    and   listen   at   a 
Brain  crossing;   and   signal  when  you 
re  going  to  turn  the  corner  on  your 
like. 

The  traffic  policeman  agrees  that 
hese  are  "rules"  and  that  each  person 
nust  know  and  apply  them.  He  re- 
ninds  the  boy  and  girl  that  they  are 
esponsible  for  their  own  safety  and 
or  helping  make  traffic  safe  and  en- 
oyable  for  others.  They  agree  that 
t  would  be  impossible,  even  silly,  for 
sach  person  to  have  a  traffic  police- 
nan  over  him.  They  further  agree  that 
t  is  much  better  for  each  person  to 
)e  his  own  traffic  policeman.  Anima- 
ion  shows  how  the  brain  which  carries 
he  image  of  each  person  is  the  con- 
Tol  center  of  behavior. 

To  test  the  idea  of  each  person 
)eing  his  own  policeman,  an  actual 
view  of  the  policeman  and  his  youth- 
ill   friends   introduces   three   or   four 


"let's  pretend"  situations  which  reveal 
how  each  person  can  control  his  own 
behavior  and  be  attentive  to  the  safety 
and  feelings  of  others.  They  show  in- 
correct and  correct  ways  of  walking 
along  a  road  which  has  no  sidewalks, 
playing  ball  (not  in  the  street  but 
on  a  playground),  and  roller  skating 
on  the  sidewalk. 

The  concluding  sequence  which 
again  has  the  real  policeman  and  chil- 
dren shows  how  they  agree  that  know- 
ing the  rules,  being  conscious  of  their 
importance  and  application,  as  well 
as  behaving  accordingly  result  in 
everyone  being  safer  and  happier.  The 
question  of  "how  about  you"  is  flung 
out  to  the  viewers  of  the  film. 

Appraisal 

Audience  identification  and  high 
motivation  of  youngsters  to  do  some- 
thing about  traffic  safety  as  a  result 
of  seeing  the  film  were  clearly  dem- 
onstrated in  the  classes  of  the  primary 
and  intermediate  teachers  who  tried 
the  film  on  an  experimental  basis. 
The  youngsters  wanted  to  set  up  their 
own  "let's  pretend"  situations  and 
eagerly  shared  their  observations  of, 
reactions  to,  and  suggestions  for  traf- 
fic behavior  around  the  school  and  in 
the  communtiy.  The  previewing  com- 
mittee rated  the  film  very  high  in 
terms  of  its  psychological  approach 
to  learning,  its  creative  and  imagina- 
tive treatment  of  content,  and  its  se- 
lection and  organization  of  ideas.  Both 
the  teachers  and  the  evaluating  group 
reacted  very  favorably  to  the  "self- 
discipline"  concept  which  they  felt 
was  very  clearly  and  convincingly  por- 
trayed in  the  film.  They  felt  the  idea 
could  be  transferred  to  other  situa- 
tions. The  film  is  highly  recommended 
for  use  by  pre-school  groups  and  the 
first  four  or  five  grades. 

You  And  Your  Eyes 

(Educational  Film  Division,  Walt  Dis- 
ney Productions,  477  Madison  Ave- 
nue, New  York  22,  New  York)  Pro- 
duced by  Walt  Disney.  8  minutes, 
16mm,  sound,  color,  1956.  $100. 

Description 

Through  the  use  of  animation  and 
cartoon    characters.    You    and    Your 


Eyes  presents  the  structure  and  func- 
tion of  the  human  eye.  It  depicts  the 
similarities  between  the  eye  and  the 
camera,  compares  the  human  eye  with 
the  eyes  of  several  other  animals,  and 
stresses  the  importance  of  proper  care 
of  the  eyes. 

Jiminy  Cricket  points  out  that  man 
has  always  been  a  seeing  animal,  de- 
pending upon  his  eyes  for  survival. 
To  illustrate  this  point,  a  cartoon  cave- 
man is  shown  getting  a  head  start  on 
a  mastodon  by  use  of  his  superior 
vision.  Today  the  eyes  still  aid  in  our 
survival  by  helping  us  to  keep  out  of 
the  way  of  automobiles  and  other  con- 
veyances. 

In  the  next  sequence  the  eye  is 
compared  to  a  camera  as  Jiminy 
Cricket  shows  that  both  need  a  lens 
and  a  substance  on  which  to  record 
the  image.  The  inversion  of  the  image 
by  the  lens  is  indicated.  The  fact  that 
we  do  not  see  things  up-side-down  is 
illustrated  as  a  finished  picture  is 
turned  upright  for  viewing.  In  the 
same  way  the  brain  inverts  the  image 
it  receives  to  enable  us  to  see  things 
in  proper  perspective.  A  sequence 
showing  everything  up-side-down  por- 
trays the  problems  which  would  be 
encountered  if  this  were  not  so. 

Another  important  structure  of  the 
eye  which  is  similar  to  that  in  a  camera 
is  the  diaphragm.  Jiminy  compares 
the  diaphragm  in  the  camera  with  that 
in  the  eye,  showing  that  each  serves 
the  same  purpose. 

The  film  then  shows  that  the  light 
receptors  of  the  human  eye  are  com- 
posed of  rods  and  cones.  Chickens,  as 
is  indicated,  have  only  cones  in  their 
eyes  and  can  see  only  in  daylight. 
The  bat,  on  the  other  hand,  has  only 
rods  and  can  see  best  at  night.  The 
human  eye,  having  both  rods  and 
cones,  can  see  both  by  day  and  night. 
Jiminy  then  discusses  the  parts  of 
the  eye  which  serve  primarily  as  pro- 
tective devices.  The  tear  gland  acts  as 
the  windshield  sprinkler  on  an  auto- 
mobile. It  constantly  washes  the  eye 
and  the  eye  lid  wipes  any  foreign 
matter  away.  The  eye  lashes  act  as 
screens  to  keep  out  dirt  and  insects. 
The  brows  serve  in  the  same  capacity 
as  the  eaves  of  a  house,  keeping  out 
rain  and  perspiration. 

Optical  illusions  are  touched  upon 
briefly  as  Jiminy  Cricket  draws  two

lines  on  the  chalkboard.  One  appears 
longer  than  the  other  although  both 
are  of  the  same  length.  Jiminy  explains 
that  we  do  not  always  see  things  as 
they  really  are. 

The  eyes  of  some  animals  are  quite 
different  from  the  human  eye.  The 
eagle,  for  example,  is  able  to  see  things 
at  great  distances.  The  frog  is  able 
to  see  only  those  things  in  his  immedi- 
ate surroundings  and  even  then  only 
when  they  move.  The  bee  has  about 
12,000  eyes  and  thus  sees  many 
images  at  a  time.  The  human  eye  is 
depicted  as  a  much  more  efficient 
organ  of  sight  than  other  animals' 
eyes. 

The  film  is  concluded  as  Jiminy 
Cricket  suggests  certain  things  which 
should  be  done  to  help  conserve  eye- 
sight. 

Appraisal 

You  and  Your  Eyes  will  do  much 
to  help  intermediate  grade  youngsters 
understand  the  structure  and  function 
of  the  human  eye.  The  film  is  well 
organized  and  the  cartoon  characters 
help  immensely  to  illustrate  the  points 
covered.   Some  of  the  concepts  pre- 


sented are  quite  advanced;  the  ex- 
cellent use  of  visuals,  however,  makes 
them  easily  understood.  The  film  will 
be  most  useful  at  the  intermediate 
grade  level,  but  primary  grade  chil- 
dren will  enjoy  and  get  much  from  the 
film.  It  could  also  be  profitably  used 
as  a  review  for  junior  high  students. 
The  technical  quality  of  the  film  is 
excellent,  further  contributing  to  the 
value  of  You  and  Your  Eyes  as  a 
teaching  aid.

Teacher's  guide  available. 

Description 

In  Case  of  Fire— Fires  and  Fire 
Drills  is  divided  into  three  major  se- 
quences. The  first  illustrates  the  cor- 
rect methods  of  dealing  with  a  fire 
in  school;  the  second  shows  the  correct 
and    incorrect    procedures    of   coping 


with  an  emergency  in  a  theater;  t 
third  part  is  an  illustration  of  a  lit 
girl   applying   what   she   has   learn 
about  fires   when  she  is  trapped 
one  in  her  home. 

Exciting  scenes  of  fire-fighting  ; 
tivity  open  the  film.  Sounds  of  sirei 
search  lights  playing  over  the  an 
men  dragging  hoses,  and  the  fi 
titles  superimposed  over  a  close- 
of  the  flashing  emergency  light  on 
fire  engine  create  an  aura  of  inter 
excitement.  The  narrator  asks,  "1 
you  know  what  to  do  in  case  of  fire 

The  exctiment  of  these  first  f( 
scenes  is  leavened  somewhat  by  t 
tranquility  of  the  next  few.  A  pk. 
ground  is  seen  from  the  window 
a  classroom.  The  class  is  interrupt 
by  a  fire  drill.  The  children  quid 
and  calmly  vacate  the  building 
the  narrator  reminds  the  audience  th 
the  lessons  we  learn  from  fire  dri 
may  be  the  most  important  we  leai 

We  are  then  taken  through  a  s 
quence  of  events  in  the  same  scho 
when  there  is  a  "real"  fire.  We  s

i  ir  path  is  blocked  by  flames.  An- 
(  HI  group  is  trapped  in  their  class- 
1  nil  and  forced  to  wait  until  they  are 
1  .  iit'd  by  the  firemen.  The  proper 
lures  for  evacuating  a  school 
p.,-;nig  in  case  of  fire  and  the  value 
remaining  calm  are  illustrated 
roughout  the  first  sequence. 
The  second  major  sequence  deals 
th  the  correct  and  incorrect  meth- 
of  coping  with  a  fire  in  a  theater. 
"Saturday  matinee"  is  in  progress 
len  a  girl  smells  smoke,  stands  up 
d  screams  "fire!"  Panic  ensues  as 
ople  fight  to  get  out  of  the  main 
or  of  the  theater.  The  same  event 
shown  again,  but  this  time  the  girl 
tifies  an  usher  who  calmly  evacu- 
;s  the  audience  from  the  building. 
What  she  learned  about  fires  in 
bool  helps  a  little  girl  save  her  life 
d  possibly  that  of  her  family  when 
e  is  trapped  in  their  burning  home, 
le  family  dog  is  awakened  by  the 
lell  of  smoke.  The  dog  manages  to 
ike  the  girl  but  she  can't  leave  her 
3m  because  of  flames  at  the  door, 
le  calls  to  her  mother  and  father, 
d  eventually  her  father  rescues  her 
it  as  the  firemen  arrive.  There  is  a 
ise  moment  while  the  firemen  are 
itting  out  the  fire  when  the  little 
1  remembers  that  the  dog  is  still 
ipped  in  her  room.  The  firemen  save 
L'  dog,  and  the  remainder  of  the 
m  shows  some  extensive  interior  fire 
mage  to  the  house.  The  point  is 
;arly  made  that  the  little  girl  is  safe 
cause  she  remembered  what  to  do 
case  of  fire. 

ppraisal 

In  Case   of   Fire  —  Fires  and   Fire 
ills  is  highly  recommended  for  use 

first  to  eighth  grade  classes.  By  in- 
nious  editing,  excellent  photogra- 
ly,  and  framing  the  lessons  within 
e  context  of  a  simple  plot  and  much 
iima,  this  film  emphasizes  the  im- 
rtance  of  chills  and  jilanning.  Above 
,  it  shows  that  there  is  something 
at  the  individual  can  do  to  help  him- 
f  before  the  firemen  arrive.  The 
eview  committee  indicated  that 
ire  is  enough  vital  information  con- 
ned within  this  film  to  warrant 
cry  elementary  school  pupil  seeing 

Teachers  of  primary  grades  may 
id  it  necessary  to  prepare  their 
ipils  for  the  film  in  order  to  avoid 
desirable  exciting  effects.

AUDIO 


by  Max  U,  Bildersee 


We've  been  up  to  our  ears  —  in 
sound,  of  course— for  the  past  month. 
And  much  of  it  has  been  good,  and 
equally  much  has  been  interesting 
from  your  standpoint  and  mine. 

We  wandered  slowly  through  the 
several  exhibit  halls  in  Cincinnati  at 
the  DAVI  meeting.  More  sound  was 
evident  than  at  any  previous  exhibit 
we've  been  at  and  this  was  gratify- 
ing. 

Equipmentwise,  the  language  lab- 
oratories were  there  in  full  force.  There 
was  Audio  Teaching  Center,  Audio- 
tronics,  Cousino  Electronics  Corpora- 
tion, Instructomatic,  Langua-Lab, 
Magnetic  Recording  Industries,  March 
and  Associates,  Mobile-Tronics,  Moni- 
tor Language  Laboratories,  RCA- 
Victor,  Rheem-Califone,  Science  Elec- 
tronics and  Universal  Language  Lab- 
oratories Corporation.  Each  of  them 
showed  the  advantages  of  audio  lan- 
guage instruction  and  each  spoke  in 
terms  of  the  use  of  tape  as  a  medium 
for  language  instruction. 

And  this  year  there  were  more  rec- 
ord producers  present,  too.  This  Ust 
includes  the  American  Book  Company, 
Cultural  History  Research,  Inc.  (fea- 
turing recorded  lectures  on  art),  En- 
cyclopaedia Britannica  Films,  Folk- 
ways Records,  Jam  Handy,  Lingua- 
phone,  McGraw-Hill  and  Stanbow 
Productions. 

Then  there  were  a  number  of  rec- 
ord players  and  tape  recorders  being 
shown  by  Audio-Master,  Bell  and 
Howell,  Dukane,  Foringer  and  Com- 
pany, Miles  Reproducer  Company, 
Newcomb  Audio  Products,  North 
American  Philips  Corporation,  V-M 
Corporation  and  Webcor.  This  simple 
list  represents  about  a  quarter  of  the 
exhibitors,  a  good  showing  far  ahead 
of  previous  years. 

It  was  interesting  to  follow  the 
crowds  as  they  examined  the  materials 
and  equipment  at  the  show.  Previous 
'glamor'  exhibits  were  somehow  less 
attractive.  The  language  laboratories, 
still  a  challenge  in  many  commun- 
ities, drew  many  spectators.  There 
was  considerable  interest  in  Instruc- 
tional Materials  for  the  language  lab- 
oratories and  many  questions  were 
asked  in  this  direction.  But  the  really 
busy  exhibitors  were  showing  teach- 
ing machines.  These  were  simple  ma- 


chines, some  of  them,  which  required 
the  skills  of  reading,  writing  and  push- 
ing buttons.  Others  were  highly  com- 
plex electronic  equipment  that  even 
timed  the  responses  and  scored  the 
student  accordingly. 

But,  as  in  the  case  of  language 
laboratories  not  too  long  ago,  there 
was  an  admitted  need  for  more  and 
still  more  program  material  for  the 
teaching  machines.  Just  as  each  new 
complex  machine  comes  into  the  mar- 
ket there  is  demonstrated  again  the 
need  not  only  for  equipment  but  also 
for  adequate  and  superior  materials. 
Machines  are  lasting,  materials  are 
used  and  gone  insofar  as  the  individu- 
al student  is  concerned,  and  new  ma- 
terials must  be  supplied  all  the  time. 

Material  for  language  laboratories 
is  beginning  to  emerge  on  the  market 
in  greater  quantity.  The  major  sup- 
pliers today  are  Folkways  Records 
(the  disc  recorded  material  is  avail- 
able on  tape),  Henry  Holt  (disc  or 
tape  can  be  secured,  but  the  same 
material  is  on  each),  Linguaphone 
(reissuing  material  previously  avail- 
able only  on  disc)  and  EMC.  There 
is  still  a  great  need  for  more  specially 
prepared  tape  recorded  material  for 
language  laboratories. 

From  Cincinnati  we  journeyed  east 
through  Washington  to  Baltimore 
where  we  audited  the  tapes  of  some 
new  language  records  soon  to  be  of- 
fered by  Oppenheimer:  Publishers 
(4805  Nelson  Avenue,  Baltimore  15). 
You  will  recall  that,  using  the  Cabot 
label,    Oppenheimer    introduced    the 


Fur   language  sliidies. 

very  popular  H-R-S  (Hear-Repeat- 
Speak)  language  records  for  children 
in  French,  Spanish,  German,  Italian, 
Hebrew  and  Russian  that  have  been 


so  widely  accepted  and  used  for  ]) 
liminary  language  instruction  in  I 
grades.  Now  they  are  offering  mc 
advanced  material  using  Gateway 
the  keyword.  We  heard  Gateway  ' 
French  (Oppenheimer:  Publishers 
catalogue  number  4201)  which  c 
be  used  on  the  junior  and  senior  hi; 
school  level  by  students  who  have  h 
some  work  in  the  language.  T\ 
aspects  which  are  important  a 
added:  language  recognition  in  t 
printed  fonn  through  the  accompar 
ing  student  manual,  and  rapid  aui 
response  to  the  record.  Students  woi 
ing  alone— and  classes  working  in  ui 
son— can  use  these  records  for  vocab 
lary  building,  aural  comprehensi 
and  speech  practice. 

These  records  are  sufficiently  i 
expensive  that  they  can  be  added 
school  library  collections  and  loani 
overnight  and  over  weekends  to  st 
dents  who  want  to  practice  on  thi 
own.  And  of  course  their  parents  w 
want  to  practice,  too. 

We  were  interested  to  note  th 
Let's  Look  At  Great  Paintings  (E 
Screen,  March  1960)  attracted  t 
attention  of  the  Dave  Garroway  sts 
and  was  the  subject  of  part  of  one 
their  telecasts.  We  learned  when  \ 
were  in  Baltimore  that  this  superi 
recording  had  had  excellent  press  i 
ception  and  that  both  public  ai 
school  acceptance  was  higher  tli: 
the  producer  had  anticipated. 

We  went  on  to  New  York  to  'Ici 
an  ear'  to  the  new  The  Anatomy 
Language  (Folkways  FI  9108)  wlii' 
is  an  instructional  tool  debberatr 
designed  for  high  school  seniors  .u 
juniors.  This  is  primarily  an  intensi 
review  for  college  entrance  and  scIk 
arship  examinations.  It  can,  of  coui  - 
be  used  in  regular  English  classes. 

Included  is  a  selection  from  liter 
ture:  "The  Breaking  of  the  Win 
Cask"  which  you  will  recognize  as 
short  excerpt  from  Charles  Dickens' 
Tale  of  Two  Cities.  This  is  read  f 
literary  values  as  a  portion  of  the  Id 
son  on  "How  To  Write  an  Effecti' 
Composition"  and  the  listener  is  war 
ed  to  seek  the  devices  used  by  tl 
author  to  arrest  attention,  develop  i 
terest  in  his  characters  and  appeal 
the  senses  and  emotions. 

This  reading  is  part  of  the  secti( 
in  the  record  series  devoted  to  cor 
position.  Under  this  heading,  "Narr

ensive  study  of  vocabulary  and  sen- 
ence  completion.  In  this  area  the 
opics  discussed  stress  the  importance 
)f  language  in  "The  Measurement  of 
Time,"  "Number,"  "Place,"  "People" 
ind  "Things."  Under  the  general  head- 
ng  "People"  there  is  study  of  both 
he  physical  aspects  of  man  as  well 
IS  his  mental  and  spiritual  aspects, 
^^amily  and  religion,  education  and 
government,  senses  and  emotions  and 
vork  are  all  subjects  of  special  lessons 
n  this  series.  Finally  there  is  a  vocabu- 
ary  review  and  mastery  test. 

This  does  not  represent  'passive 
istening'  in  any  respect.  The  listener, 
0  profit  from  these  recordings,  must 
)ay  close  attention  to  the  script  and 
nstructions  contained  in  an  accom- 
)anying  book.  The  recordings  call 
ipon  the  student  to  offer  direct  re- 
ponse  and,  finally,  there  are  addi- 
ional  lessons  printed  in  the  book 
vhich  the  student  is  expected  to  com- 
jlete. 

It  is  almost  impossible  to  summar- 
ze  effectively  this  very  useful,  very 
jnusual  album.  But  it  is  hard  to  imag- 
ine a  high  school  senior  facing  the 
inevitable  series  of  examinations  which 
which  have  become  part  of  that  last 
;emester  who  cannot  profit  tremen- 
dously from  this  album.  It  can  be 
used  in  class— yes,  and  it  can  be  used 
by  individuals.  And— small  groups  can 
isten  to  selected  portions  together. 

We  haven't  discussed  here  the  uses 
of  these  recordings  by  adults  seeking 
renewal  of  language  skills  or  who  do 
not  claim  an  adequate  background  in 
this  area.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  hbra- 
ries  will  discover  this  application  as 
will  teachers  of  freshman  English  the 
country  over,  and  they  will  be  happy 
that  they  did. 

Just  a  word  about  the  author  is  ap- 
propriate here.  Morris  Schreiber  who 
created  the  scripts  and  narrates  them 
is  the  principal  of  a  school  in  New 
York  City  and  a  lecturer  in  the  field  of 
English  on  the  college  level.  Conse- 
quently his  planning  and  presentation 
become  models  which  can  be  used  in 
teacher  training  classes. 

Stanbow  Productions  (Valhalla,  N. 
Y. )  has  a  real  'sleeper'  in  their  We 
Speak  Through  Music  which  is  the 
creation  of  Sister  Mary  Arthur  and 
Sister  Mary  Elaine  from  Our  Lady  of 
the  Lake  College  in  San  Antonio, 
Texas.  Sister  Mary  Arthur,  as  director 
of  the  Speech  and  Hearing  Clinic, 
must  have  recognized  the  great  need 
for  material  deliberately  planned  to 
help  children  learn  to  pronounce  the 
\ariety  of  sounds  which  make  up  our 
language.  The  records  have  "been  de- 
sijined  to  provide  practice  material  to 
he   used  by   the  speech   correctionist

That's  right!  Audio  Devices 
has  cut  at  least  31%  off  the 
price  of  its  premium-quality 
Audiotape  on  li/a-mil  "Mylar." 
Now  educators  can  have  all  the 
advantages  of  DuPont's  fabu- 
lous "Mylar"  for  little  more 
than  the  cost  of  an  ordinary 
plastic-base  tape. 

Audiotape  on  iy2-mil  "My- 
lar" is  the  finest  tape  in  the 
Audiotape  line.  Its  tough,  dur- 
able "Mylar"  base  and  profes- 
sional-quality oxide  make  it  the 
perfect  tape  for  schools.  (Sim- 
ilar price  reductions  have  also 
been  made  on  Master  "Low 
Print-through"  Audiotape  on 
iy2-mil  "Mylar.") 

■¥r" Mylar"  is  DuPont's  trade- 
mark for  its  polyester  film— the 
toughest,  most  durable  recording 
tape  base  material  known  to 
man.  "Mylar"  cannot  dry  out  or 


become  brittle  with  age.  Record- 
ing tapes  on  "Mylar"  can't  break 
or  stretch  in  normal  use,  regard- 
less of  temperature  or  humidity. 
Most  importantly,  "Mylar"  is  a 
known,  tested  base  material- 
proven  by  years  of  use  in  tele- 
metry, automation  and  elec- 
tronic computing  applications. 
Millions  of  feet  have  been  re- 
corded by  professional  and  ama- 
teur sound  recordists,  too.

with  tlie  child  who  has  an  articulatoi\ 
disorder."  The  child  is  given  an  o]) 
portunity  to  hear  the  sounds  througl 
songs— simple  and  pleasing  songs  de- 
livered by  male  and  female  voices  anc 
written  by  Sister  Mary  Elaine,  and  be- 
cause these  are  so  attractive  the  chile 
enjoys  stabilizing  these  soinids  througl 
practice.  The  sounds  involved  are  al 
the  difficult  ones  including  m,  p,  b,  d 
1,  k,  ng,  f,  V,  fl,  kl  and  others. 

These  records  are  intended  for— anc 
will  be  thoroughly  enjoyed  by— pre 
primary  and  kindergarten  children  a: 
well  as  their  older  brothers  and  sister 
in  the  first  grade.  And  the  learninf 
will  take  place  in  an  environment  o 
pleasure  and  participation  ideal  to  th( 
goals  sought  by  the  speech  correction 
ist.  We  should  add  that  in  addition  t( 
three  12  inch  33.3  rpm  records,  there 
is  a  useful  manual  containing  not  onlj 
use  suggestions  but  also  all  the  wordi 
and  music. 

When  we  teach  the  story  of  th( 
1920's  and  1930's  we  are  too  prone  t( 
overlook  the  statuesque  minor  politi 
cal  figure,  Norman  Thomas.  But  wi 
don't  have  to  make  this  error  again 
Spoken  Arts  (95  Valley  Road,  Nev 
Rochelle,  N.  Y.)  has  recently  releasee 
Norman  Thomas  Reminisces  (Spok 
en  Arts  759)  which  can  only  be  de 
scribed  as  another  of  the  'must'  rec 
ords  for  schools  and  libraries.  In  i 
Mr.  Thomas  recreates  his  political  ca 
reer  as  perennial  campaigner  not  onh 
for  major  political  office  but  also  fo 
the  recognized  rights  of  the  individual 
He  repeats  portions  of  some  of  hi 
speeches  in  the  course  of  his  remiiiis 
cences,  and  we  are  reminded  that  to 
day's  conservative  and  broadly  sup 
ported  social  welfare  programs  wen 
once,  and  not  too  many  years  ago,  th^ 
program  of  the  Socialist  party  and  thi 
subject  of  Mr.  Thomas'  campaigns. 

Still  with  an  'ear  to  the  ground'  wi 
heard  T.  S.  EUot  reading  Old  Pos 
sum's  Book  of  Practical  Cat 
(Spoken  Arts  758)  and  we  foimd  thi: 
dehghtful.  There  are  no  surprises  ii 
it,  and  many  young  and  old  alike  wil 
enjoy  hearing  such  favorites  as  "Th( 
Old  Gumbie  Cat,"  "Mr.  Mistoffelees,' 
"Gus:  the  Theatre  Cat,"  "Skimblc' 
shanks:  the  Railway  Cat"  and  all  th«i 
others.  We  have  been  informed  tha» 
the  publishers,  "had  prepared  erudit* 
notes  for  this  record  but  they  appea. 
to  have  been  intercepted  on  the  wa^ 
to  the  printers  by  Macavity  (the  Mys 
tery  Cat).  Too  bad!  We  would  havi 
so  thoroughly  enjoyed  purrusing  them

NEW   EQUIPMENT 

Kodak  8mm  Sound  Projector 

\   new  8mm  magnetic  sound-on-film 

ector,    unveiled    by     the     Eastman 

(ak  Company  at  the  Master  Photo 

lers    convention,    promises    a    ver- 

le,    low-cost    means     of     producing 

■  and   movies   by   any   school,   church, 

luiustry,    government   agency   or   com- 

niunity    group.    Amateur    shooting     of 

ilont  8mm  movies  has  kept  pace  with 

prevailing    boom    in    still    photog- 

ly.  Now  this  new  means  of  produc- 

movies   in   sound   as   well  as  color 

IS    the    way    for    similar    boom    in 

ol-made    as    well    as    home-m  a  d  e 

ralkies." 

Any  8mm  film,  new  or  old,  may  be 

notrack"  coated,  a  sei-vice  handled 

ugh   Kodak   dealers.   The  magnetic 

ie  coating,  applied  between  the  film 

and  the  perforations,  is  activated 

an    "Alfenol"    metal    head    slightly 

rower    (20    mils)    than    the    coating 

le,  to  eliminate   edge   tracking.  An 

;jut  for  attaching  an  external  speaker 

nounted  on  the  control  panel.  Voice 

music    may    be    recorded    simulta- 

isly,    via    microphone     and     phono 

Its.  the  latter  usable  also  as  an  out- 

to  drive  auxiliary  amplifying  equip- 

t.   A  2x10"  speaker  is  in  the  pro- 

ir  case.  A  red  signal  light  appears 


when  the  "record"  switch  is  turned  on 
and  a  blinking  white  light  indicates 
best  volume  level.  Narration  and  other 
sound  may  be  changed  at  will  simply 
by  recording  over,  and  thus  simulta- 
neously erasing,  any  previously  record- 
ed sound. 

The  non-axial  projection  lamp  report- 
edly gives  a  satisfactory  picture  5  feet 
wide;  when  recording,  it  can  be  reduced 
to  250  watts  to  increase  lamp  life.  Lamp 
and  motor  switches  are  separate;  a 
single  4-position  rotary  switch  controls 
forward  and  reverse  projection,  "stills," 
and  power  rewind.  Projector  runs  either 
at  16  or  24  frames  per  second.  Weight 
approximately  30  pounds.  Price  $345. 
Kodak  dealers  are  prepared  to  demon- 
strate.

.  .  .  FOR  HIGH  QUALITY  AND  LASTING  ECONOMY 

It  is  a  recorder  that  meets  the  most  exacting  sound-quality  require- 
ments. And  because  the  Ampex's  long,  trouble-free  life  means  true 
economy,  it  is  one  of  the  best  equipment  investments  your  school  or 
district  can  make. 

One  Ampex  351  can  do  all  the  high  quality  recording  jobs  for  the 
school:  original  teaching  tapes,  language  master  tapes,  recordings 
for  speech  evaluation  and  correction,  rehearsal  assistance  for  band 
and  orchestra,  and  any  tapes  that  will  be  duplicated  for  distribution 
to  other  schools. 

Inevitably  the  Ampex  also  becomes  the  school's  one  heavy-duty 
"workhorse"  giving  far  more  hours  of  service  than  any  of  the  school's 
other  recorders.  Why?  Because  the  Ampex  can  give  continuous 
year-round  service  with  minimum  maintenance. 
These  are  the  same  qualities  that  have  firmly  established  the  Ampex 
351  as  first  choice  of  broadcasters  and  professional  recording  studios 
—  and  of  knowledgeable  educators  interested  in  producing  tape 
masters  to  high  stfmdards. 

The  use  of  professional  recorders  in  education  has  been  documented 
in  a  new  brochure  which  this  coupon  below  makes  available  to  you.

Alaska's 

Modern  Agriculture 

Mops  show  Alaska's  location  and 

regions  of  vorying  climates.  Historic 
scenes  taken  25  years  ago  show  how 
farming  developed.  World  War  II 
and  Statehood  have  brought  a 
new  boom  to  Alaska,  increasing  the 
need  for  agriculture.  Today,  modern 
farming  methods  are  replacing  hand 
methods  as  the  people  adapt 
themselves  to  this  challenging  land. 
The  film  depicts  the  conservation  and 
development  of  resources;  recreotion, 
transportation,  education, 
interdependence  of  the  people, 

opportunities  for  new  settlers.

Entertainment  Film  Upsurge 

The  entertainment  film  business  is 
xperiencing  a  substantial  upsurge," 
ccording  to  Paul  Foght,  president  of 
deal  Pictures  and  chairman  of  the 
■JAVA  committee  in  charge  of  arrange- 
nents  for  a  national  conference  on  "The 
Dollars  and  Sense  of  the  Entertainment 
I'ilm  Business."  This  meeting,  to  which 
ill  interested  in  this  phase  of  the  16mm 
ield  are  invited,  will  be  held  on  August 

•4,  at  the  lakefront  Moraine  Hotel  near 
Chicago,  just  prior  to  the  big  NAVA 
ummer  meeting. 

The  pi'ogram,  according  to  NAVA, 
s  intended  to  "bring  together  all  enter- 
ainment  film  people  with  the  objective 
)f  really  studying  ways  of  improving 
he  business  of  each  businessman  at- 
ending."  Hotel  reservations  go  direct

Bi-Iingual  Paperbacks 

Bantam  Books  has  just  issued  its  first 
dual-language  paperbacks — two  collec- 
tions of  short  stores  with  corresponding 
text  on  facing  pages.  Voltaire,  Balzac, 
Maupassant,  Gide,  Ayme  and  Camus 
are  represented  in  the  French-English 
book,  and  there  is  a  similarly  impressive 
galaxy  in  the  Spanish-English.  This  de- 
velopment may  not  cheer  the  traditional 
grammar-book  foreign  language  teacher, 
but  it  may  well  serve  the  second  stage 
of  instruction  via  the  aural-oral  ap- 
proach of  the  modern  language  lab. 


8mm   Sound-on-Film 

Castle  Films  announces  the  availabil- 
ity of  25  subjects  to  play  on  the  new 
8mm  sound-on-film  projectors  (Fair- 
child,  Eastman,  Agfa).  All  new  fall 
releases  will  come  out  in  8mm  as  well 
as  16mm  sound  versions.  United  Artists 
Associated,  Inc.,  are  also  turning  out 
their  new  releases  for  the  home  and 
non-theatrical  market  in  8mm  sound- 
on-film  versions. 


New  Films  for  Old 

Coronet  Films  has  new  versions  of 
three  of  its  films,  keeping  right  up  with 
the  front  page  changes  of  history 
(Alaska.  Hawaii,  The  50-star  Flag).  A 
$110  color  film  can  be  exchanged  for 
its  new  version  for  $60  if  owned  less 
than  one  year  and  for  $75  if  owned 
longer.  Proportionate  rates  apply  on 
exchanges  of  b&w  for  color,  etc. 

Field  Trips  and  Other  Prizes 

A  trip  for  two  to  Gay  Paree  is  the 
prize  offered  by  Viewlex  to  the  teacher 
who  writes  the  best  essay  or  report  on 
"How  Audiovisual  Aids  Make  Teaching 
and  Learning  Easier" —  and  an  extra 
bonus  of  $250  expense  money  if  the 
essay  includes  the  serial  number  of 
the  Viewlex  projector  used  by  the 
winner.  In  addition,  an  all-expense-paid 
trip  to  next  year's  DA VI  convention  at 
Miami  Beach  goes  to  the  AV  director 
of  the  winner's  school  and  six  Viewlex 


projectors  will  be  presented  to  the 
winner's  school  district.  Second  prize  is 
a  $100  savings  bond  and  three  projectors 
to  the  runner-up's  school  district.  Fifty 
"Honorable  Mention"  prizes  are  a  year's 
membership  dues  in  DA VI.  Contest  ends 
May  15,  1960. 

CBS  Headliners  to 
16mm  Carousel 

A  dozen  of  the  top  documentary  pro- 
grams telecast  over  CBS  during  recent 
months  have  been  turned  over  to 
Carousel  Films,  Inc.,  for  16mm  distribu- 
tion. Included  are  nine  from  the  award- 
winning  "Conquest"  series,  two  from 
"CBS  Reports"  and  one  from  "20th 
Century."  The  Bell  &  Howell  Company 
was  among  the  sponsors  of  these 
thought-compelling  programs.  Among 
the  titles:  "Biography  of  a  Missile,"  "The 
Population  Explosion,"  "Secrets  of  a 
Volcano,"  "The  Fallout  Atom,"  "Life 
Before  Birth,"  and  "Reaching  for  the 
Moon."

NAVA  Directory  the  "Mostest" 

"Fustest  wit'  the  mostest"  is  NAVA's 
new  (6th  edition)  Audio-Visual  Equip- 
ment Directory.  It's  bigger  than  ever 
(over  250  pages,  600  pictures,  700 
models). 

Aside  from  serving  as  an  indispen- 
sable, constant-use  reference  tool  for 
anyone  concerned  with  the  audiovisual 
field,  this  ever-growing  book  mirrors 
most  impressively  a  fantastically  chang- 
ing and  expanding  AV  world.  In  simple 
arithmetic  there  are  136  firms  listed 
who  were  not  in  the  1959  edition — and 
88  names  missing  from  the  lists  of  a 
year  ago.  The  major  change  however 
is  qualitative,  as  seen  in  the  new 
sections  on  language  laboratories,  teach- 
ing machines,  production  materials  for 
overhead  transparencies,  classroom  re- 
ceivers of  many  kinds.  (For  details  on 
how  to  order,  see  "New  Publications," 
Page  2,56. 

A.A.A.A.  Policeman 

A.A.A.A.  (American  Association  of 
Advertising  Agencies)  is  sending  its 
member  agencies  5,000  folders  telling 
"How  You,  As  An  Individual,  Can  Help 
Reduce  Objectionable  Advertising  in 
TV,  Radio  and  Print."  It  has  set  up  an 


opinion  interchange  which,  through  a 
board  committee,  evaluates  and  for- 
wards criticisms  to  the  3d  agency  re- 
sponsible. The  source  of  the  complaint 
is  held   confidential. 

Matters  held  to  be  seriously  objection- 
able to  the  public  include:  (a)  mislead- 
ing exaggerations;  (b)  deceptive  visual 
"trickery";  (c)  bad  taste;  (d)  sugges- 
tiveness;  (e)  statements  offensive  to 
public  decency;  (f)  ridiculous  claims; 
(g)  "weasel"'  wording;  (h)  statements 
falsely  disparaging  other  products  or 
other  advertising. 

While  the  audiovisual  industry  has, 
fortunately,  been  largely  free  of  the 
sins  now  coming  home  to  roost  on  some 
of  the  other  communication  media,  this 
magazine,  in  its  own  small  way,  has 
served  as  a  critical  opinion  exchange 
from  time  to  time,  bringing  to  the  at- 
tention of  our  advertisers  any  lapses 
from  A.A.A.A.-type  canons  complained 
of  in  confidence  by  our  readers.  This 
service  has  invariably  been  appreciated 
by  the  manufacturer  or  producer  in- 
volved— as   well   as  by   his   critics. 


Bigger  Crown 

"Crown  International,"  tape  recorder 
division  of  International  Radio  and 
Electronics  Corp.,  and  "International 
Radio,"  its  broadcast  equipment  di- 
vision, are  expanding  into  a  new  24,000 
square  foot  addition  to  the  Elkhart, 
Indiana,  factory. 


Nord  Acquires  TUC 

Nord  Photocopy  and  Business  Equip- 
ment Corp.  announces  the  acquisition 
of  Television  Utilities  Corp.  of  Corona, 
N.  Y.,  manufacturers  of  electronic  moni- 
toring and  control  equipment,  including 
a  closed-circuit  TV  assembly. 

17th  Tecnifax  Workshop 

Practical  instruction  in  the  techniques 
of  visual  communication  was  again 
offered  at  the  Holyoke  plant  of  Tecni- 
fax April  19-21.  Opening  and  closing 
sessions  were  held  in  the  1400-seat 
Municipal  Auditorium;  the  balance  of 
the  work  done  in  15  classrooms  at  the 
plant.  Incidentally,  the  presentation 
folder  announcing  the  seminar  is  one 
of  the  finest  of  its  kind,  and  the  course 
organization  exemplary. 

FASL  Now  Copp-Clark 

The  filmstrip,  filmstrip  and  slide 
product  of  Film  and  Slide  Laboratories, 
is  now  distributed  through  the  Copp- 
Clark  Publishing  Co.;  Ltd.,  517  Welling- 
ton St.  West  Toronto  28,  Ont.,  Canada. 
The  well-known  Hymnslip  line  of  short 
color  strips  giving  the  words  of  many 
favorite  hymns  against  attractive 
pictorial  background  is  now  supple- 
mented by  a  similar  series  of  30  poem- 
slips  and  four  long  filmstrips  ranging 
from  "One,  Two,  Button  My  Shoe"  to 
"The  Village  Blacksmith,"  graded 
kindergarten   through   junior  high. 

Youth  Films  Pre-tested 

Film  producers  aiming  at  a  specific 
age-group  audience  often  find  out 
whether  they  have  hit — or  missed — only 
after  the  picture  is  finished.  This  is 
particularly  true  of  materials  for  use 
with  and  by  teenagers.  Family  Films 
met  the  situation  in  their  current  series 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — May,  1960 


257 


by  bringing  in  youth  groups  as  a  col- 
laborating audience  from  the  first  story 
conference  clear  through  the  screening 
of  the  workprint.  The  results  have  been 
so  successful  in  church  youth  showings 
that  a  public  school  version  is  being 
made  on  the  basis  of  the  same  art  work. 


Magazine  Projector? 

The  announcement  of  8mm  sound-on- 
film  (Fairchild's  in  our  March  issue, 
Eastman  in  this)  is  already  casting  its 
shadow  on  further  developments.  Hal 
Roach,  Sr.,  has  said  that  Technicolor  is 
perfecting  a  double-8  magazine  that 
slips  into  a  sound-on-film  projector, 
runs  45  minutes,  is  turned  over  to  run 
another  45  and  then  returned  to  its 
source,   requiring   no    rewinding. 

According  to  Film  Daily  (March  23, 
1960),  "A  checkup  of  his  statements 
threw  a  deep  shadow  of  doubt  over  their 
present  accuracy,  but  did  not  dispel  the 
possibility  of  just  such  a  mechanism 
coming  into  the  market  sooner  or  later, 
from  one  source  or  another.  The 
mechanism  is  in  existence  ..."  It  was 
developed  three  years  ago  by  major 
company  technicians  working  with 
Motion  Picture  Research  Council  engi- 
neers. Patent-wise,  the  mechanism  is 
fully  protected.  According  to  the  film 
industry  it  consists  of  a  magazine 
"shaped  like  a  thin  kidney  bean"  to 
fit  an  especially-designed  projection 
head  whose  aperture  is  slotted  to  re- 
ceive and  travel  a  16mm  film  which  has 
been  printed  as  two  8mm  films,  com- 
bined on  16mm  stock. 

The  principle  of  the  double-8  maga- 
zine has  long  been  applied  in  movie 
Cameras,  and  multipe  picture  tracks  is 
older  still:  Edison  had  three  parallel 
rows  before  1912,  the  second  run  in 
reverse,  without  changing  the  position 
of  the  reels. 

People

NAVA  Announces  Major 
Feature  of  Convention 

"Selling  to  Industry"  will  be  the  title 
of  a  major  presentation  at  the  20th 
annual  National  Audio-Visual  Con- 
vention, August  6-9,  in  Chicago,  ac- 
cording to  an  announcement  by  W.  G. 
Kirtley,  president  of  the  National  Au- 
dio-Visual Convention.  Participating 
in  the  presentation  will  be  Dr.  Richard 
B.  Lewis,  Tom  Clemens  and  Jerry 
Kemp,  all  of  the  A-V  Center,  San  Jose 
State  College,  San  Jose,  California. 

Kirtley  also  announced  that  immedi- 
ately following  this  portion  of  the  con- 
vention program,  NAVA  will  make 
first  distribution  of  a  new  association 
publication  designed  to  acquaint  in- 
dustrial management  with  audiovisual 
opportunities.    This   booklet   is   being 


prepared  by  the  NAVA  Industry  and 
Business  Council  and  the  San  Jose 
State  A-V  Center. 

More  than  2,500  audiovisual  people 
are  expected  to  attend  tlie  1960 
NAVA  convention  and  exhibit.  The  ex- 
hibition, already  a  record  breaker,  is 
the  largest  single  display  of  audiovis- 
ual equipment  and  materials  in  the 
world.  The  annual  gathering  attracts 
business  and  professional  people  from 
all  audiovisual  fields  and  from  each  of 
the  major  AV  markets:  educational, 
religious   and   industrial. 

Illinois  AV  Association  To 
Reactivate  Midvi^est  Forum 

Reactivation  of  the  war-time  Mid- 
west Audiovisual  Education  Forum 
was  voted  at  the  statewide  meeting  of 
the  Illinois  Audiovisual  Association  at 
Peoria,  Illinois,  April  7-9.  Since  neither 
the  Educational  Film  Library  Associ- 
ation nor  the  Association  of  Chief  State 
Audiovisual  Officers  plans  to  hold  a 
national  meeting  this  year  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  commercial  -  religious  - 
agricultural  -  medical  meetings  and  the 
NAVA  trade  show  in  Chicago,  the 
lAVA  will  assume  the  responsibility 
for  arranging  the  customary  education- 
al phase  of  this  all  'round  national 
meeting,  it  was  reported. 

Other  state  AV  organizations  in  the 
midwest  are  being  invited  to  join  as 
co-sponsors  of  this  program,  a  one-day 
session  on  policy,  theory  and  adminis-

rate  a  nylon  film  pressure  shoe  which  is  kinder  to  film, 
ieter  operating  and  so  durable  that  it  probably  will  not

audiovisual  supervisor  for  the  depart-

William  C.  Prigge 

in  the  field  in  Gary  and  Munster 
prior  to  his  appointment.  He  has  fin- 
ished all  of  his  work  towards  his  doc- 
torate of  education  degree  with  the 
exception  of  his  dissertation.  He  ex- 
pects to  complete  that  by  the  end  of 
the  summer. 


Educational  Testing  Has 
New  Series  on  Science 

The  completion  of  a  new  series  of 
ten  educational  films.  Horizons  of  Sci- 
ence, designed  both  to  develop  a  bet- 
ter understanding  of  science  and  sci- 
entists and  to  interest  high  school 
students  in  science  careers,  has  been 
announced  by  Henry  Chauncey,  presi- 
dent of  Educational  Testing  Service, 
Princeton,  N.  J. 

The  films,  in  preparation  for  two 
years,  were  produced  by  Educational 
Testing  Service,  aided  by  grants  from 
the  National  Science  Foundation.  Al- 


fred Butterfield  is  executive  producer 
of  the  series.  Each  of  the  ten  films 
covers  a  specific  subject  by  showing 
a  top-ranking  scientist  in  that  field  at 
work.  The  scientist  explains  his  work 
in  his  own  words  and  shows  how  he 
goes  about  it. 

The  primary  method  for  nationwide 
distribution  of  the  films  to  schools 
will  be  through  corporation  and  foun- 
dation sponsorship  under  which  the 
films  will  be  bought  at  a  cost  of  two 
thousand  dollars  for  the  complete  set 
of  ten  films  and  then  presented  as  a 
public  service  to  school  systems. 

Among  some  20  corporations  that 
already  have  signed  for  the  series  are 
Alcoa,  Champion  Paper,  Climax 
Molybdenum,  Thiokol  Chemical,  In- 
gersoll  Rand,  Kennecott  Copper,  Ohio 
Edison  and  Texas  Instruments. 

Schools  wishing  to  purchase  films 
directly  may  do  so,  and  may  obtain 
matching  funds  for  the  purpose  under 
Title  III  of  the  National  Defense  Edu- 
cation Act. 


DAVI  To  Raise  Its  Dues, 
Effective  On  July  1 

The  DAVI  board  of  directors  has 
voted  to  raise  the  DAVI  dues  from 
§5.00  to  $7.00.  This  increase  will  be 
effective  July  1 

This  is  the  first  change  since  1950 
when  dues  were  raised  from  S.3.00  to 
$5.00.  Operating  expenses  have  gone 
up  greatly  since  1950,  it  was  said,  with 
over  half  of  the  dues-paying  depart- 
ments of  the  NEA  having  raised  dues 
since  that  period. 


Reduction  in  Title  III 
Funds  for  States 

President  Eisenhower's  1961  budget 
provides  $57  million  for  Title  III  of 
the  National  Defense  Education  Act. 
This  is  a  reduction  of  $614  million 
from  the  1960  appropriation  of  $64 
million,  but  an  increase  of  $2,505,000 
over  the  anticipated  actual  expendi- 
tures for  fiscal  year  I960. 

The  reason  for  the  decrease  is  the 
inability  of  some  of  the  states  to  ab- 
sorb the  available  federal  money. 

A  portion  of  the  decrease  is  in  the 
amount  budgeted  non-profit  private 
schools;  demands  for  this  money  are 
running  considerably  less  than  the  12 
percent  of  total  Tide  III  money  which 
is  authorized  under  this  section.  Total 
outlay  imder  the  loan  program  was 
only  $1.1  million  last  year,  and  is  con- 
siderably less  than  that  in  the  current 
year,  fiscal  year  1960. 

The  President  is  proposing  changes 
in    the    appropriation    language    for

any  state  which  has  an  active  progra 
and  can  justify  the  use  of  the  ent 
original  allocation  under  the  Defei 
Education  Act,  to  receive  the  full  i 
propriation   despite   the   reduction 
the   national   appropriation.    In   otl' 
words,    according   to   USOE   sourc^ 
the   new  budget   simply   reflects 
fact  that  some  states  are  not  in  a  p( 
tion  to  use  the  full  amounts  and  are 
fact  carrying  over  substantial  amou 
of  unused  money  from  the  last  fis 
year.   Thus   less   money   is   being 
quested  for  these.

ti\ely  little  audiovisual  representa- 
rhis  lack  was  more  than  offset  by 
\'s  impressive  composite  exhibit 
ibed  elsewhere  in  this  issue.  For 
^c•hool  board  group  it  is  still 
tial  to  sell  the  general  "idea"  of 
ition,  whereas  the  school,  church, 
-lr\-,  government  and  community 
pecialists  who  attend  the  NAVA 
are  no  longer  questioning  wheth- 
l)uy  but  "what." 

lite  different  was  the  situation  at 
vcent  meeting  of  the  NEA  De- 
lent  of  Audio-visual  Instruction 
ncinnati.  A  retrospective  look  at 
xhibits  here  will  serve  also  as  a 
of  what  to  expect  at  NAVA. 

More  than  a  hundred  commercial 
ns  (124,  by  count),  in  exhibit  space 
i  sample  rooms,  showed  their  wares, 
iging  from  traditional  glass  slides  to 

V  -  fangled  "teaching  machines," 
sed-circuit  television  cameras,  and 
guage  laboratory  furniture, 
impact  of  the  National  Defense 
ucation  Act  was  felt  in  the  heavy 
phasis  on  these  latter  three  cate- 
ies.  There  were  no  less  than  14 
guage  laboratory  exhibits  of  vari- 

types;  this  contributed  also  to  a 
)ng  representation  of  tape  recorders 
I)   and  record  players   (9).  These 

V  types  of  equipment  ranged  in 
nplexity  all  the  way  from  a  6- 
phone  record  listening  center  to 
ivac's  little  brother.   Another  year 

probably  find  a  corresponding 
wth  in  the  number  of  sources  of 

recorded  materials  for  these  in- 
ilations;  in  this  .show  there  were  6 
ord,  3  pre-recorded  tape  sources. 
kVhile  the  language  lab  was  per- 
K  the  "hottest"  item  in  this  year's 
)w,  a  good  bit  of  play  was  enjoyed 

8  exhibits  of  fascinating  devices 
led  various  "teaching,"  "tutoring," 
testing"  machines.  The  simplest 
these  is  in  essence  a  metal  cover  for 
workbook  page  or  mimeographed 
ion  sheet  of  multiple-choice  ques- 


tions or  problems;  the  student  checks 
his  answers  against  the  book's  by  un- 
covering a  marginal  window.  At  the 
other  extreme  were  electronic  marvels 
that  seemed  able  to  do  almost  every- 
thing short  of  thinking  through  the 
educational  applications  to  which  they 
might  be  put. 

For  the  most  part,  the  tests  posed 
by  these  machines  were  purely  verbal, 
but  there  was  one  slot  machine,  de- 
signed to  help  the  verbally  retarded  by 
means  of  pictorial  symbols,  that  actu- 
ally paid  off  for  correct  answers  in 
marbles  or  bubble  gum.  Another  mod- 
el (not  for  sale),  made  for  the  Navy 
10  years  ago  by  the  Viewlex  Com- 
pany, poses  a  range  of  400  test  ques- 
tions on  each  of  four  different  areas, 
1600  in  all,  against  a  built-in  30- 
second  time  scoring  clock  that  credits 
the  student  not  only  for  correct  an- 
swers, but  for  the  time  required  to 
give  them.  As  each  multiple-choice 
answer  is  given,  a  light  flashes  (green 
for  right,  red  for  wrong)  and  the  cor- 
rect response  is  illuminated  on  a  lower 
panel.  On  this  machine  quite  a  num- 
ber of  the  problems  were  posed  in  pic- 
torial rather  than  verbal  svmbols. 


The  show's  closed-circuit  television 
exhibits  (6)  tended  to  emphasize 
specific  educational  applications. 
Dage,  for  instance,  telecast  the  pro- 
ceedings of  the  invitational  seminars; 
Argus  demonstrated  such  techniques 
as  classroom  televising  of  what  is  seen 
through  a  microscope. 

Other  audiovisual  techniques,  tools 
and  materials  now  accepted  as  quite 
conventional,  although  in  their  re- 
spective early  days  held  quite  as  rev- 
olutionary as  the  foregoing  three,  were 
represented  in  depth.  Most  numerous 
among  the  exhibits  were  the  sources 
of  instructional  motion  pictures  (22) 
and  filmstrips  (17).  There  were  4  ex- 
hibitors each  of  flat  pictures,  trans- 
parencies, and  display  boards;  three 
maps-globes-charts  exhibits;  one  show- 
ing a  richly  equipped  mobile  science 
laboratory;  seven  sources  of  sponsored 
free  materials. 

DAVI's  1960  show  marked  a  high 
point  not  only  in  the  number  and 
variety  of  exhibits,  but  also  in  attend- 
ance (2437  registered,  plus  many  lo- 
cal teachers  who  came  to  evening 
demonstrations).  Exhibitors  generally 
felt  that  the  visiting  educators  showed 
greater  interest,  understanding  and 
enthusiasm  than  ever  for  the  audio- 
visual medium  and  its  contribution  to 
better  education.

In  the  pocketful  of  scribbled  notes  that  came  back  with  me^ 
DAVI's  Cincinnati  convention  was  one  that  read,  "Read  'The  Afl 
ent  Society.' "  I  can't  remember  who  suggested  it,  or  why,  but  I  i 
read  it,  and  it  has  caused  me  to  do  more  thinking  this  past  moi 
or  so  than  I  normally  like  to  do. 

It's  a  book  that  jars  you  from  comfortable  acceptable  thougl 
Economist-author  Galbraith  early  in  the  book  points  out  the 
r  »^  fluence  and   sometimes   fallacy   of   these   traditional  thoughts  a 

I    3.^GS  labels  them  as  the  "conventional  wisdom."  It's  the  conventional  V 

dom,   for  instance,   that   becomes   an   integral   part   of   everyor 
thinking  shortly  after  birth  that  "taxes  are  bad."  It's  good  to  bu; 
vacuum  cleaner  and  trade  it  in  every  third  year  for  the  latest  mo 
to  keep  your  house  clean.  But  it's  bad  for  the  city  to  waste 
A   -fr^  money  buying  new-fangled  expensive  street  sweepers.  Why  si 

-^^-A  C  contradictory  standards  for  cleanliness?    Why  do  we    want  cl( 

houses  and  dirty  streets?  Is  that  wisdom? 

We  thought  about  double  standards  again  the  other  day  whei 
PTA  President's  letter  to  the  local  editor  asked  why  the  sch 
couldn't  afford  a  second  television  set.  (That's  how  Galbrail 
book  infiltrates  your  thinking.  Don't  read  it  if  you're  smug  w 
your  comfortable  thoughts.)  We  wondered  about  our  differ 
standards  for  home  and  school.  For  watching  entertainment  tt 
vision  programs  at  home,  the  people  of  this  county  had  bought  c 
set  for  every  three  people.  But  for  watching  educational  televis 
programs  in  school,  for  the  instruction  of  their  children,  these  sa  j 
people  could  only  "afford"  one  television  set  for  every  six  hundi 
forty -two  pupils! 

What's  wise  about  that  kind  of  conventional  thinking?  It  n 
save  a  few  pennies  in  taxes,  but  at  what  a  risk  to  the  education 
boys  and  girls!  Why  shouldn't  people  in  their  wisdom  norma 
expect  that  the  equipment  standards  for  their  schools  would  at  le 
equal  what  they  insist  upon  for  their  homes  and  private  lives 
thought  of  all  the  cast-off  wind-up  phonographs  and  upright  piai 
that  had  in  the  past  been  generously  transplanted  from  living  roo 
to  classrooms. 

While  exposed  to  a  television  commercial  for  the  latest  tanger 
colored  lipstick,  I  wondered  why  people  in  their  conventional  v 
dom  think  it  is  good  for  the  economy  of  this  country  to  spend  moi 
for  cosmetics  and  bad  to  spend  money  for  filmstrips  and  other 
structional  materials  for  their  schools. 

My  father  used  to  tell  me  he  got  more  for  his  tax  dollar  than  i 
other  dollar  he  spent.  A  lot  of  other  people  might  think  the  sa 
way  if  their  wisdom  wasn't  so  conventional.  Maybe  we  need  a  Ma 
son  Avenue  campaign  and  a  national  education  program  in  t 
country  that  would  completely  reverse  popular  notions  about  ta> 
It  seems  to  us  there's  a  good  chance  that  taxes  are  more  likely  to 
good  than  bad.  Maybe  with  such  a  shift  in  popular  thinking  ab 
taxes  we  could  accomplish  what  we  should  in  providing  our  schc 
and  teachers  and  children  with  the  kind  and  quantity  of  mod' 
teaching  equipment  and  efficient  learning  materials  needed 
space  age  education. 

I  don't  know  how  you  feel  about  him,  but  I'm  grateful  to  f 
friend  who  suggested  I  read  "The  Affluent  Society."  I  hope  he'll 
my  failing  memory  and  tell  me  who  he  is  and  why  he  wanted 
to  read  it.

"We  saw  how  practical  a  teacher  can  be  about  A-V  aids 
before  we  selected  this  Kodak  Pageant  Projector." 


bys  John  M.  Chi /coat, 

Pncipal  at  the  new  Nor- 
wod  Elementary  School, 
feltimore  County,  Md., 
siected  by  A.A.S.A.  for 
it  exhibit  of  outstanding 
snool  designs: 


"From  our  teachers'  point  of  view,  class- 
room order  and  pupil  attention  are  basic 
requisites  before  any  learning  can  take 
place. 

"A-V  aids,  they  feel,  must  contribute  to 
the  entire  learning  experience— should  not 
disrupt  order,  nor  distract  attention.  When 
attention  is  held,  the  learning  process  is 
quickened,  the  subject  more  thoroughly 
understood. 

"Our  teachers  expressed  themselves  on 
these  matters  when  we  were  examining 
projectors.  Then  they  selected  the  Kodak 
Pageant  Projector  as  their  practical  choice. 


Easy  to  set  up,  the  Pageant  meant  pro- 
grams started  promptly.  Quiet,  the  Pageant 
didn't  distract  students  by  machine  noise." 

Because  reel  arms,  belts  and  cords  are 
all  permanently  attached  in  place,  the 
Pageant  sets  up  easily.  Operation  is  so 
simple  that  many  teachers  leave  it  entirely 
to  the  children. 

To  see  a  demonstration  of  the  Kodak 
Pageant's  brilliant  screen  image,  its  high 
quality  sound,  and  its  other  practical  fea-

write  for  Pageant  Bulletin  V3-22.  No 
obligation,  of  course.

AV  Shares  Spotlight  at 
School  Boards  Meeting 


by  Wm.  F.  Kruse 

Education  for  Woria  Leadership"  proved 
a  timely  convention  theme  at  the  1960  National 
School  Boards  Association  in  April  at  Chicago. 
Better  communication— the  key  to  greater  under- 
standing of  the  relations  of  the  American  people 
to  each  other  and  to  their  fellowmen  throughout 
the  world— won  recognition  as  a  major  educa- 
tional objective  of  both  board  members  and  ad- 
ministration. 

Better  communication  also  prevailed  in  the 
convention  meetings,  thanks  to  the  active  collabo- 
ration of  a  special  committee  of  National  Audio 
Visual  Association  members.  This  NSBA  conven- 
tion program  included  more  meetings  in  which 
communication  was  effected  by  projection  of 
sight  and  sound  than  at  any  previously  held. 
W.  A.  Shannon,  executive  director  of  the  NSBA, 
contacted  Don  White,  NAVA  director,  nearly  a 
year  ago  for  recommendations  as  to  how  audio- 
visuals  might  improve  communication  at  this 
meeting.  The  result  was  a  series  of  nine  sectional 
"clinics"  plus  a  presentation  at  one  of  the  major 
general  sessions  by  Charles  H.  Percy,  president 
of  the  Bell  &  Howell  Company.  His  theme:  "The 
Teachers  and  the  Taught,"  dealt  mainly  with  the 
changes  in  communication  techniques  and  their 
great  potential  contribution  to  the  improvement 
of  teaching  and  learning. 

Immediately  following  the  Percy  speech, 
Maurice  Mitchell,  president  of  Encyclopaedia 
Britannica  Films,  showed  his  sound  color  motion 
picture,  "The  Unique  Contribution,"  on  the 
hotel's  20-foot  ceiling-recessed  screen  and  an- 
swered many  questions  from  the  audience  on 
audiovisual  education  techniques,  administration 
and  philosophy. 

An  outstanding  feature  of  the  convention  was 
a  closed  circuit  television  network  installed  just 
for  this  occasion  by  the  combined  efforts  of  four 
leading  CCTV  firms— Miratel,  Dage,  Giantview, 
and  Century  Lighting.  It  took  no  less  than  2% 
miles  of  cable  to  connect  up  56  receivers  and  a 
three-camera  chain  to  carry  proceedings  of  the 
general  sessions  to  overflow  audiences  in  all  parts 
of  the  hotel.  Another  CCTV  demonstration  fea- 
tured William  Brish  of  Hagerstown,  Maryland, 
speaking  on  "Educational  TV  in  Action:  As  the 
Administrator  Sees  It." 

Each  of  the  visualized  topics  was  aimed  at 
known  interests  and  needs  of  the  school  board 
members  and  administrators.  "How  to  Use  Com- 
munication Media  to  Win  Public  Support  for 
Better  Schools"  was  presented  with  the  aid  of  a 
10-inch  overhead  projector  on  a  12-foot  screen, 
by  Roy  Hinch,  director  of  audiovisual  education 
for  the  Euclid,  Ohio,  Board  of  Education.  Much 
of  his  presentation,  done  in  lively  cartoon  style, 
had  salient  points  so  sharply  etched  that  they  in- 
spired lively  discussion,  pro  and  con. 

The  largest  of  the  sectional  meetings  was  ad- 
dressed by  Elton  Hocking  of  Purdue  University. 
His  presentation,  "Improving  Language  Learning 


Through  Language  Laboratories,"  involved 
use  of  a  16mm  magnetic-optical  motion  pic 
projector,  a  dual-channel  tape  recorder,  an  a 
torium-type  power  speaker,  and  a  lO-foot  sen 
"Budgeting  Your  A\'  Communication  Progr, 
was  presented  by  John  Molstad  of  Indiana  I 
versity,  substituting  for  the  head  of  his  dep 
ment,  L.  C.  Larson,  who  had  been  called 
Washington  for  consultation  just  prior  to  the  ( 
vention.  The  Molstad  presentation  began  wil 
run-through  of  the  Eastman-AVCOPI  cole 
slide  set  of  "The  Case  of  the  Curious  Citiz. 
shown  via  a  2x2-inch  remote-control  proje^ 
and  a  SSVa  rpm  record  player,  followed  by  ' 
inch  transparencies  diagramming,  among  ot 
material,  some  of  the  budget  studies  of  the 
K.  C.  Rugg. 

The  U.  S.  Office  of  Education  was  on  for 
presentations.  One  was  by  Lloyd  W.  King,  C 
of  the  State  Plans  and  Reports  section,  aid 
state  and  local  schools  branch,  who  conduc 
a  roundtable  discussion  of  "National  Defe 
Education  Act  Opportimities."  In  the  secc 
James  J.  McPherson,  told  "What  Your  Gove 
ment  is  Doing  to  Improve  Educational  Ci 
munication"  with  the  aid  of  a  lOxlO-inch  o' 
head  projector,  remote  controlled  2x2  slides,  : 
an  illuminated  folding  billboard  type  display. 

As  announced  in  the  NSBA  official  progr; 
all  but  one  of  these  audiovisual  presentati 
were  "planned  in  cooperation  with  the  Natic 
Audio-Visual  Association."  The  exception, 
which  the  NAVA  committee  also  arranged  eqi 
ment  and  operator  service,  was  on  "Planning  ; 
Management  Problems."  It  was  presented 
means  of  3y4x4-inch  glass  slides  on  a  12-f 
screen  by  management  consultants  James  R.  0 
lier  and  Leo  L.  Kornfeld. 

The  National  Audio- Visual  Association  paid 
an  exhibit  covering  one  whole  wall  of  the 
trance  foyer  fronting  the  great  hall  where  all  g 
eral  sessions  were  held.  A  brilliantly  lighted  "b 
board"  type  institutional  exhibit,  it  told  of 
unique   contribution   that   audovisuals    make 
education,  very  much  along  the  line  of  the  po;

Audiovisual  Commission  on  Public  Informati 
This  AVCOPI  book,  along  with  an  attractive  1 
of  other  literature  provided  by  the  28  manuf 
turers  who  underwrote  the  cost  of  the  compoj 
exhibit,  was  taken  home  by  hundreds  of  the 
tending  board  members.  Most  of  them  also 
quested  further  literature  sent  to  their  horn 
thus  assuring  continued  impact  of  this  A-V 
hibit  on  the  schools  they  serve.  More  than  a  hi 
dred  NAVA  dealer  members  also  shared  the  co:i 
Don  White  and  Jean  Moore  were  in  charge  of  t

Threshold  to  Illustration: 
The  Camera  Lucida 


by  Gene  Udell 


Its  Operation 


Specialization  tends  to  make  paupers  of  us  all. 
By  the  time  we  receive  the  products  of  many  spe- 
cialized hands  standardization  of  the  instruc- 
tional product  has  often  intervened  between  stu- 
dents and  ourselves.  Teaching  becomes,  in  part, 
a  process  of  adapting  ourselves  to  instructional 
material.  More  effective  results  naturally  occur 
when  instructional  materials  are  made  an  integral 
part  of  our  teaching  approach— when  they  are 
comfortably  controlled  by  us  because  we  have 
helped  to  create  them.  Such  is  the  case  with  in- 
formative drawings. 

Competent  graphic  illustration  is  considered 
by  many  of  us  to  be  beyond  our  effective  skills. 
While  currently  this  may  be  true,  it  need  not 
remain  so.  The  instrument  known  as  the  camera 
lucida  can  become  the  threshold  to  illustration 
for  many  teachers  who  now  must  rely  upon  com- 
mercially prepared  illustrations  or  do  without. 

The  principle  of  the  camera  lucida  involves 
literally  the  tracing  of  an  image  (from  either 
two-  or  three-dimensional  subjects)  which  ap- 
pears to  be  directly  positioned  on  drawing  paper 


placed  below  the  camera  lucida.  The  doing  is 
far  less  complex  than  the  telling  how-to-do,  but 
let's  see  how  explicit  we  can  be. 

The  camera  lucida,  in  one  of  its  several  basic 
forms,  consists  of  a  90-degree  prism  which  is 
silvered  on  the  base,  or  hypotenuse  surface.  In 
use  the  prism  is  caused  to  be  suspended  over  a 
drawing  surface  so  that  there  is  free  air  space 
between  the  prism  and  the  table  top  on  which 
the  drawing  paper  is  placed.  The  drawing  paper 
is  positioned  directly  beneath  the  suspended 
prism,  while  the  object  to  be  drawn  is  placed  on 
a  support  at  the  level  of  the  prism. 

The  user  sights  downward,  looking  into  the 
near  edge  of  the  prism  with  one  eye  and  at  the 
drawing  paper  with  the  other  eye.  The  image  of 
the  object  then  appears  to  be  "projected"  onto 
the  paper  and  may  be  traced. 

The  size  of  the  apparent  image  is  usually  not 
greater  than  8  x  10  inches  at  maximum.  Image 
size  is  determined  mainly  by  regulating  the  dis- 
tance between  the  prism  and  the  object.  The 
closer  the  two,  the  larger  the  image  appears  to 
be;  the  farther  apart,  the  smaller  the  image  ap- 
pears. 

Where  the  most  finished  accuracy  is  desired.

lie  users  may  find  it  advisable  to  sketch  the 
iginal  object  on  paper  by  means  of  the  camera 
cida  and  then  improve  upon  the  sketch  by 
jrking  it  again  on  a  sheet  of  tracing  paper 

ced  over  the  first   drawing.   This  procedure 

most  useful  where  numerous  straight  lines 
B  embodied  in  the  drawing.  Use  of  a  straight- 
ge  on  the  tracing  paper  copy  trims  up  the  ap- 
arance  of  the  final  product. 
It  may  be  advantageous,  also,  to  put  slightly 
jre  light  upon  the  object  to  be  drawn  than 
on  the  drawing  paper.  Balancing  illumniation 
a  personal  matter  for  greatest  ease  in  drawing 
hough  illumination  is  not  at  all  a  critical  aspect 

the  process. 

While  the  cost  of  a  commercial  camera  lucida 
gins  at  about  65  dollars,  the  user  can  obtain 
iTy  equivalent  results  from  any  silvered  90- 
gree  prism. 

For  preparing  drawings,  the  scale  of  existing 
awings  may  be  readily  modified.  For  example, 
wall  map  or  chart  can  be  reduced  accurately 

transfer  to  a  mimeograph  or  a  spirit  duphcator 
■noil.  Conversely,  a  small  cartoon  may  be  en- 
ged  handily  for  bulletin  board  use.  Out-of-size 
ustrations  in  this  way  become  readily  adaptable 
r  a  multitude  of  uses. 

Of  perhaps  even  greater  value  to  the  user  is 
s  ability,  via  the  camera  lucida,  to  reproduce 
ree-dimensional  objects  in  graphic  form.  Land- 
apes,  habitat  groups,  models,  mock-ups,  people 

work,  hands  manipulating  objects,  artifacts, 
I  are  readily  reproducible. 

itf  History 

The  camera  lucida  has  been  extant  for  nearly 
iO  years,  yet  it  is  surprising  how  few  people 
low  about  it,  even  among  audiovisual  groups, 
amera  lucidas  are  covered  briefly  in  the  En- 
\clopaedia  Britannica  and  the  Encyclopedia 
mericana.  A  page  of  illustrated  use  is  included 
the  Famous  Artists  Course  text.  A  more  recent 
urce  is  a  four-page  booklet  available  from  the 
dmund  Scientific  Company,  Barrington,  New 
rsey,  showing  arrangements  for  making  camera 
cidas  using  prisms,  lenses  and  mirrors.  Com- 
ercial  lucidas  are  listed  in  major  art  supply 
talogs  and  are  utilized  primarily  in  commer- 
al  art  studios.  A  form  of  camera  lucida  was  long 
ed  to  facilitate  drawing  through  a  microscope 
itil  this  technique  was  made  obsolescent  by  the 
svelopment  of  photography. 
The  camera  lucida  was  invented  by  a  British 
ientist  in  1818.  William  Hyde  Wollaston  de- 
sloped  lucidas  along  two  basic  lines  which 
■ovetl  generic  to  present-day  versions  of  the  in- 
Inunent.  The  two  basic  lucida  principles  con- 
st of  utilizing  reflection  from  a  plane  glass  sur- 
ur  and  internal  reflection  in  a  prism. 
W'ollaston's  plane  glass  surface  was  a  micro- 
ope  cover  slip.  Inclined  at  a  slant  of  about  45 
'  '^rees  with  the  base  of  the  glass  being  farthest 
"in  the  viewer,  the  surface  of  the  cover  slip  re- 
ivU-d  the  image  of  an  object  to  the  eye.  Simul- 
iiicously  the  eye  looked  through  the  cover  slip 
nto  paper  below  causing  the  image  to  appear 
1  be  projected  onto  the  pai>er.  (Figure  1.)  In 
lis  instance  the  apparent  image  showed  itself 
n  the  drawing  surface  upside-down  and  laterally 
Bversed. 


The  second  or  prism  type  of  camera  lucida 
devised  by  Wollaston  consisted  of  a  four-sided 
prism  with  comer  angles  of  90,  67  Va,  67 '^,  and 
135  degrees  ( Figure  2. )  The  eye  looked  vertical- 
ly down  at  the  position  shown,  partially  inter- 
cepting the  edge  of  the  prism  nearest  the  viewer. 
In  this  manner  the  single  eye  saw  both  the  re- 
flected image  of  the  object  and  the  paper  below 
at  the  same  time.  The  image  appeared  to  merge 
with  the  surface  of  the  paper  and  tracing  became 
possible.  If  the  viewers  head  inadvertently 
moved,  the  "projected"  image  on  the  drawing 
surface  shifted  position.  The  image  did,  how- 
ever, appear  right-side-up  and  laterally  correct. 

Contemporary  with  Wollaston,  Giovanni  Bat- 
tista  Amici  combined  the  prism  and  plane  glass 
approaches  into  one.  Use  of  a  90-degree  triangu- 
lar prism  in  front  of  an  inclined  piece  of  glass 
permitted  the  viewer's  eye  to  receive  the  reflec- 
tion of  the  image  from  the  glass  after  the  image 
had  come  through  the  prism  (Figure  3).  This 
way  the  image  appeared  right-side-up  and  later- 
ally correct  and  shifting  of  the  image  was  mini- 
mized. 

Changes  in  the  camera  lucida  since  the  time 
of  Wollaston  and  Amici  have  been  less  in  form 
than  in  the  improved  level  of  performance  made 
possible  by  newer  materials.  Developmentally, 
rather  than  historically,  let  us  look  at  some  of 
these  adaptations,  beginning  with  the  plane  glass 
lucida  type. 

Because  the  apparent  image  seen  on  the  draw- 
ing surface  when  clear  plane  glass  was  used  was 
extremely  faint,  attempts  were  made  to  strength- 
en image  visibility.  Probably  in  the  late  18()0's, 
someone  modified  the  clear  plane  glass  by  apply- 
ing strips  of  mirror-reflecting  material  equally 
spaced  on  the  glass,  in  "zebra"  fashion.  The 
mirror  strips  reflected  the  image  more  brightly 
to  the  eye,  which  simultaneously  looked  down 
through  the  alternating  clear  glass  strips  to  see 
the  drawing  surface.  This  ingenious  approach 
was  supplanted  in  time  by  the  beamsplitter. 

Beamsplitters  are  pieces  of  plane  glass  specially 
coated  to  control  the  transmission  and  reflection 
of  light.  Thev  can  be  made  to  reflect  any  given 
percentage  of  light  while  allowing  the  rest  to  pass 
through.  The  overall  surface  of  the  beamsplitter 
appears  clear  but  its  reflecting  qualities  are  so 
improved  that  the  beamsplitter  renders  ordinary 
glass  and  striped  mirrors  virtually  obsolete. 
(Mirror-type  beamsplitters  are  a  variant  in  com- 
mon use  in  supermarkets,  mounted  behind  meat 
and  vegetable  counters.  The  customer  sees  only  a 
reflection  of  the  wares  in  the  mirror;  employees 
in  the  cutting  and  packaging  room  in  the  rear 
can  look  through  the  mirror  to  see  when  re- 
plenishment of  the  items  is  necessary. 

To  this  point  in  the  discussion  of  plane  glass 
lucidas,  apparent  images  appeared  inverted  and 
reversed  on  the  drawing  surface.  This  problem 
was  corrected  by  utilizing  a  mirror  along  with  the 
plane  glass  lucida.  The  mirror  was  set  vertically, 
with  the  bottom  edge  of  the  plane  glass  inclined 
outward  from  the  mirror.  With  this  arrangement 
the  image  reflected  from  the  mirror  onto  the 
plane  then  appeared  correctly,  in  all  respects,  on 
the  drawing  surface.  Today,  this  constitutes  the 
accepted  version  of  the  plane  glass  lucida  (Fig- 
ure 4). 

The  most  commonly  known  lucida  of  this  type.

combined    with    plane    glass. 


and  the  poorest  example,  is  the  widely  adver- 
tised "Magic  Art  Reproducer,"  available  for  un- 
der two  dollars  at  many  store  counters.  Using  a 
piece  of  thin,  clear  glass  and  a  second  surface 
mirror  (silvered  on  the  underside),  the  Repro- 
ducer creates  an  image  so  faint  that  to  be  used 
effectively  drawing  must  be  done  on  black  paper 
with  white  crayon. 

The  best  lucida  of  the  plane  glass  type  is,  to 
my  knowledge,  not  produced  commercially.  It 
may  be  readily  constructed  by  obtaining  a  small 
piece  of  first  surface  mirror  (silvered  on  the  ex- 
posed face)  and  a  beamsplitter.  Lucidas  of  the 
Elane  glass  type,  with  or  without  beamsplitters, 
ave  a  basic  disadvantage  not  shared  by  the 
prism-type  lucidas;  differences  in  eye  accommo- 
dation may  result  in  the  apparent  images  seeming 
to  resolve  themselves  above  or  below  the  plane 
of  the  drawing  surface.  Correction  lenses  are 
available  for  individuals  who  note  this  viewing 
discrepancy. 

Prism-type  lucidas  have  evolved  from  the  time 
of  Wollaston  and  Amici  into  a  single,  triangular 
90-degree  prism,  the  hypotenuse-base  of  which 
is  silvered,  itself,  or  placed  on  a  first  surface  mir- 
ror. The  former  arrangement  is  of  greatest  per- 
manency. 

In  commercially  available  form  the  prism,  with 
faces  measuring  a  scant  3/8  inch,  is  mounted  into 
a  universally  adjustable  arm  attached  to  a  set 
of  telescoping  elevating  extensions  which,  in 
turn,  is  joined  to  a  form  of  "C"  clamp.  The  tele- 
scoping section  bearing  the  prism  supporting 
arm  can  be  adjusted  to  tilt  over  the  drawing 
table  and  is  held  to  the  table  by  the  "C"  clamp. 
In  use,  the  viewer's  eye  encompasses  the  reflec- 
tion through  the  prism  and  simultaneously  looks 
down  past  its  edge  to  see  the  drawing  surface  be- 
low. Rotating  the  prism  in  its  supporting-arm  per- 
mits the  image  to  be  seen  either  right-side-up  or 
upside-down  and  laterally  reversed.  The  latter 
can  be  an  advantage  if,  for  example,  a  person  is 
making  a  drawing  for  linoleum  block  cutting, 
which  calls  for  backward  picture  and  lettering. 

Prisms  available  from  surplus  optics  establish- 
ments, whether  silvered  or  used  in  conjunction 
with  a  first-surface  mirror,  are  generally  con- 
siderably larger  than  commercial  lucida  prisms. 
This  is  not  a  disadvantage;  the  eye  can  still  look 


down  past  the  near  edge  of  the  prism  to  produ^ 
an  apparent  image. 

All  information  presented  concerning  the  pris 
lucida   has   been   predicted    upon   the    standai 
accepted  use  of  only  one  eye  for  the  simultaneoi 
tasks  of  viewing  the  object  and  the  drawing  su 
face.  Those  fortunate  enough  to  have  a  pair 
functional  eyes  are  likely  to  find  that  it  is  easi 
to  use  one  eye  to  look  downward  into  the  ne 
edge  of  the  prism  and   the  other  eye  to   lo< 
down   onto   the  drawing   surface,   allowing   tl 
brain  to  fuse  the  two  operations  into  one  br 
liantly  "projected"  picture  on  well-lighted  pape 
Greatest  ease  in  drawing  the  projected  image 
then  achieved  by  adjusting  the  balance  of  illun: 
nation  between  the  object  and  the  paper  in 
manner  to  suit  the  individual's  preference. 


These  are  sample  sketches  of  three-dimensional 
subjects    made    by    using    the    camera    lucida.

Educational  Film  Abroad 


Educators  abroad  are  impressed  by  the  care 

ith  which  producers  of  educational  fihns  in 
lis  country  assure  authenticity  and  sound  ped- 
gogy  in  the  films  offered  for  classroom  use.  This 

as  the  impression  reported  by  Ellsworth  C. 
>ent,  vice  president  of  Coronet  Instnictional 
ilms,  after  a  seven-week,  around-the-world  trip 
lat  brought  him  into  personal  contact  with 
udiovisual  educational  authorities  in  eight  coun- 
ies. 

As  a  result,  these  films  are  helping  to  correct 
le  "public  image"  of  the  United  States  held  by 
lany  people  in  other  lands,  an  image  often  dis- 
jrted  and  misrepresented  by  American  fiction 
1ms  shown  in  the  theatres. 

Official  recognition  of  the  importance  of  the 
caching  film  is  at  least  as  great  in  the  countries 
e  visited  as  it  is  here,  according  to  Dent.  In 
■ustralia,  for  instance,  he  found  the  majority  of 
le  members  of  parliament  attending  screenings 
rranged  for  them  by  the  National  Librarian  in  a 
omfortable  screening-room  right  in  Parliament 
louse. 

In  India,  a  nationwide  program  is  guided  by 
le  National  Institute  of  Audio- Visual  Education, 
art  of  the  Ministry  of  Education.  It  trains  teach- 
rs  in  utilization,  conducts  research,  produces 
rototype  films,  displays  filmstrips,  distributes 
ducational  films,  and  is  a  center  for  information 
nd  consultative  services. 

Several  of  the  Indian  states  have  their  own 
udiovisual  education  centers.  Producers— both 
ommercial  and  governmental— are  turning  out

films  by  the  hundreds.  There  is  full  recognition, 
nevertheless,  of  the  need  for  importing  teaching 
films,  and  arrangements  were  made  with  Dent 
for  translating  many  of  Coronet's  900  subjects 
into  Hindi  and  distributing  them  generally.  Many 
of  these— the  Abraham  Lincoln  film,  for  example 
—have  already  been  translated  into  18  languages, 
including  Mandarin,  Urdu,  Arabic  and  Turkish. 
The  Coronet  A-Z  index  ranges  all  the  way  from 
Arithmetic  and  Atomic  Science  to  Zoology. 

In  Japan,  Dent  found  many  producers  of  fine 
educational  films  and  interest  in  broad  usage. 
In  Egypt  there  was  relatively  little  local  produc- 
tion but  there  was  major  interest  in  the  use  of 
films  for  mass  education.  In  all  the  countries 
visited,  there  was  a  deep  respect  for  the  solid 
production  values  and  meticulous  authenticity 
that  marks  American  classroom  films. 

Dent's  reputation  in  the  field  of  audiovisual 
education  in  this  country  preceded  him  on  his 
trip.  In  the  1920's  he  headed  the  department  of 
visual  instruction  of  the  University  of  Kansas  and 
served  as  secretary-treasurer  of  the  National 
Academy  of  Visual  Instruction.  In  the  30's  he  had 
a  leading  part  in  establishing  the  motion  picture 
facilities  of  Brigham  Young  University  and  of  the 
U.S.  National  Park  Service.  Then  followed  his 
executive  sales  posts  with  Radio  Corporation  of 
America,  Society  for  Visual  Education,  and 
Coronet  Instructional  Films.  He  is  chairman  of 
NAVA's  educational  committee.  President  of  the 
NEA  exhibitors'  association,  member  of  AASA 
and  DAVI-NEA,  and  life  member  of  the  National 
Education  Association.

A  School 
Operators*  Club- 
Why  and  How 


by  E.  W.  Moy 


JL  HERE  were  over  100  applicants  for  the  ten 
openings  in  our  student  Audio- Visual  Operators' 
Club.  This  situation  was  not  an  accident.  Here  is 
the  story  behind  it: 

In  the  Ithaca,  New  York,  public  schools,  it  is 
believed  that  a  student  Audio- Visual  Operators' 
Club  is  a  vital  part  of  the  junior  high  school  pro- 
gram. Its  advantages  are  two-fold:  it  provides  a 
much  needed  service  for  the  school  and,  of  equal 
importance,  it  offers  the  students  who  participate 
an  outstanding  educational  opportunity. 

The  objectives  of  the  Audio- Visual  Operators' 
Club  are: 

1.  To  develop  avocational  skills. 

2.  To  explore  vocational  opportunities. 

3.  To  render  service  to  school  and  community. 

4.  To  leam  to  work  with  other  students. 

5.  To  leam  to  work  with  adults. 

6.  To  develop  an  awareness  of  the  many  types 
of  audiovisual  media  used  in  everyday  life. 

7.  To  help  develop  the  quahties  of  leadership. 

8.  To  develop  the  ability  to  recognize  good  de- 
design  and  quality  in  audiovisual  tools  and 
materials. 

9.  To  develop  a  safe  attitude  in  the  handhng  of 
electrical  and  electronic  equipment. 

10.  To  develop  skill  in  the  operation  of  all  com- 
mon types  of  audiovisual  equipment. 

If  we  are  to  believe  that  the  extensive  use  of 
audiovisual  materials  is  essential  to  a  good  edu- 
cational program,  we  should  also  believe  in  a 
strong,  active  AV  Operators'  Club.  First  we  will 
discuss  the  service  aspect. 

Teachers  are  busy  people.  They  do  not  have 
the  time  to  pick  up,  set  up,  operate  and  return 
the  many  types  of  equipment  and  materials  that 
are  available.  While  it  is  believed  that  all  teach- 
ers should  know  how  to  set  up  and  operate  AV 
equipment,  especially  for  emergency  situations, 
it  is  also  believed  that  they  should  be  free  to  take 
care  of  their  classes. 

Someone  may  ask,  why  should  not  the  teacher 


be  the  sole  operator  of  the  equipment?  There  a 
two  reasons: 

Teachers,  as  previously  stated,  should  be  fr 
to  give  their  full  attention  to  the  students  ti 
major  portion  of  the  time,  and  through  expe. 
ence  it  has  been  proved  that  the  student  operat : 
causes  less  damage  both  to  materials  and  equi 
ment.  This  is  not  a  slur  against  teachers;  the  re ' 
sons  are  very  understandable.  Teachers  are  bu ; 
people.  The  student   operators  are  willing  atl 
able  to  spend  a  major  part  of  their  free  time  aij 
effort  in  learning  how  to  operate  and  take  cai 
of  AV  equipment.  In  fact,  in  many  instances,  tl 
students  would  spend  all  of  their  spare  time 
the  AV  center  if  left  to  themselves. 

Secondly,  there  are  many  outstanding  educ 
tional  opportunities  for  those  who  are  membe 
of  such  a  group.  The  student  operator  lear 
many  skills  which  are  useful  avocationally  ar 
in  some  cases  vocationally.  He  learns  to  work  an 
cooperate  with  his  peers.  He  leanis  to  work  an 
cooperate  with  adults,  and  this  is  beheved  to  1 
important.  In  many  instances  when  a  studel 
leaves  school  he  goes  to  work  with  older  adul 
rather  than  with  people  his  own  age.  The  stude 
operator  has  learned  responsibility,  also  has  n 
spect  for  equipment  and  materials. 

The  40  or  so  student  operators  trained  ea» 
year  in  the  junior  high  school  are  given  a  vbj 
strenuous  program.  There  is  much  more  to 
than  just  learning  to  operate  a  sound  projectc 
Students  must  first  go  through  an  eight-we< 
probationary  period  during  which  time  they  mu 
complete  certain  requirements  such  as  learnii 
to  operate  eight  different  kinds  of  equipme 
plus  delivering  and  picking  up  equipment.  Aft 
completing  these  requirements  within  the  allc 
ted  time  they  are  then  given  full  status  and  pri\ 
leges  and  move  into  the  second  training  stag 
Student  operator  training  is  a  continuous  proce 
for  club  members  and  does  not  actually  stc 
until  the  student  leaves  the  school  at  the  er 
of  the  nintii  grade. 

In  March  1954  the  Ithaca  public  schools  syste 
conducted    a   general    workshop    for   the   enti

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — ^June,  19<' 


I  iilty.  A  part  of  this  workshop  dealt  with  a 
(  iiionstration  on  how  to  use  educational  films 
|operly.  The  AV  department  had  a  number  of 
I  splays  of  material  and  equipment.  Displays 
■  re  maintained  by  student  operators. 

\t  that  time  it  was  decided  that  arm  bands  for 

()i"rators    were   needed   so   that   people   would 

()\v  who  they  were.  A  shield  was  designed  and 

iiisferred  to  yellow  cardboard  by  running  it 

iDugh  a  liquid  duplicator.  Later  one  of  these 

iilds  was  sent  to  a  commercial  firm  to  be  made 

!  o  a  cloth  arm  band.  This  same  shield  was  also 

•iile  into  cuts  to  be  used  on  the  cover  of  an  AV 

hliography   and   on   the   front  of  the   student 

xrators   license.  Lapel  pins  made  up  with  the 

line  shield  proved  too  expensive. 

When  the  student  finishes  his  basic  training 

•riod  he  receives  a  license  and  an  arm  band  to 

t  ar  in  school.  If  he  continues  on  as  an  operator 

1  the  end  of  his  ninth  year  he  may  take  his  arm 

and  home  and  keep  it.   Ithaca  also  has  two 

iiidard  types  of  lapel  pins.  One  is  for  satisfac- 

)i\    service  and   the  other  is   for  outstanding 

•nice. 

I'he  operators'  club  has  a  very  definite  table 

I  organization.  There  are  four  offices  plus  vari- 

iis  other  responsible  jobs.  The  chief  operator 

1  iid  his  three  assistant  chief  operators  are  elected 

I  ly  the  group.  This  is  done  once  a  year.  To  help 

I  ticse  officers  other  students  are  assigned  various 

I  esponsibilities  such  as  film  checking,  noon  hour 

■peration  of  equipment,  and  helping  in  the  train- 

I  ni;  of  novices. 

All  regular  members  of  the  operators'  club  re- 
lort  each  morning  before  school  and  attendance 
-  taken.  They  deliver  all  equipment  and  ma- 
nials  to  be  used  that  day.  If  material  is  used  in 
licir  own  classes  they  operate  it.  We  try  to  have 
t  least  one  operator  in  each  class.  At  the  end  of 
Ik  day  each  person  must  return  to  the  AV  room 
111-  equipment  that  he  delivered  in  the  morning. 
I  liis  is  enforced  very  strictly.  Failure  to  do  this 
without  sufficient  reason  means  expulsion  from 
li(  club.  The  purpose  of  this  is  to  try  to  develop 
vitliin  the  student  operators  a  sense  of  respon- 


sibility. Most  boys  are  able  to  do  this  without  any 
great  degree  of  difficulty. 

In  the  junior  high  school  we  are  fortunate  to 
have  an  activity  period  the  last  hour  of  each 
school  day.  Monday  is  meeting  day.  At  this  time 
both  groups  meet  together.  The  rest  of  the  train- 
ing is  carried  on  after  school.  The  boys  work  hard 
but  also  have  fun.  The  club  has  at  least  two 
parties  a  year  and  the  members  also  have  the 
privilege  of  eating  their  lunch  in  the  AV  room  at 
which  time  they  can  show  any  motion  pictures 
that  are  available. 

Many  adolescent  boys  get  a  great  deal  of  pleas- 
ure out  of  working  with  mechanical  and  elec- 
tronic materials  and  equipment.  Many  times  we 
must  practically  push  them  out  of  the  door  when 
the  shop  is  closed  around  5  p.m.  When  we  spoke 
to  one  mother  about  the  amount  of  time  her  son 
was  putting  in  after  school,  she  said  that  it  was  a 
great  deal  of  comfort  to  know  that  her  son  was 
doing  something  constructive. 

The  club  does  not  take  only  the  best  boys  in 
the  school.  Sometimes  it  takes  some  of  the  "prob- 
lems." Some  boys  are  so  full  of  vim,  vigor  and 
vitality  that  the  regular  school  program  does  not 
keep  them  satisfied.  If  this  is  true  we  have  the 
means  to  help  use  up  this  excess  energy.  This 
often  keeps  them  out  of  trouble.  Some  of  our  very 
best  student  operators  come  from  the  slow  learn- 
er groups.  It  takes  longer  to  train  these  boys  but 
once  they  learn  they  never  forget. 

Here  is  the  case  history  of  one  of  our  former 
student  operators.  John  started  as  a  student  oper- 
ator in  the  seventh  grade  and  by  the  time  he  was 
a  ninth  grader  he  was  chief  operator.  In  the 
meantime  he  had  become  interested  in  radio. 
Later  in  high  school  he  continued  his  activities 
in  the  Senior  Operators'  Club  and  built  himself 
a  small  radio  station  in  the  basement  of  his  home. 
When  he  finished  high  school  he  went  to  college 
where  he  studied  radio  and  TV.  Now  he  is  an 
experienced  announcer  and  also  has  a  license  as 
a  radio  engineer.  Many  former  student  operators 
have  found  both  vocational  and  avocational  in- 
terest through  the  student  operators'  club  activi- 
ties.

On  July  4,  1960,  the  American  flag  will  change  for  the  26th  time. 
These  changes  provide  a  useful  time-line  that  makes  geography  and 
history  more  fascinating  and  meaningful.  No  other  country  changes 
its  flag  as  it  expands. 


Visualizing  50  States 


by  E.  Milton   Grassell 


Every  country  has  a  national  flag  for  its  chief 
symbol.  But  the  United  States  is  the  only  nation 
in  the  world  that  expands  the  flag  as  the  country 
enlarges.  On  July  4,  1960,  the  American  flag  will 
change  for  the  26th  time. 

Have  you  used  the  flag  as  a  time-line  to  help 
students  understand  geography  and  history?  Mr. 
Leonard  M.  Hunting,  an  educator  with  20  years' 
experience  as  a  classroom  teacher  and  adminis- 
trator, has! 


Interested  in  how  he  does  it? 

The  accompanying  pictures  pinpoint  Mr 
Hunting's  method.  They  show  how  he  calls  at- 
tention to  the  flag's  stars  and  stripes  to  accent 
important  American  and  recent  world  history 
and  to  illustrate  geographical  concepts. 

In  addition  to  the  more  traditional  referencf 
material,  Mr.  Hunting  makes  ample  use  of  maps 
and  globes  and  other  aids.  Flip  charts,  for  in- 
stance, are  one  of  the  many  efficient  aids  that 
students  and/or  teachers  can  make  quickly  and 
easily.  The  base  material  for  the  flip  charts  is 
20-pound  butcher  paper.  The  graphic  illustra- 
tions were  enlarged  and  transferred  to  the  flip 
charts  with  an  opaque  projector.

Iriwcen  1818  and  1848,  ten  new  states  were  admitted  and  the

ilher  states.  The  next  state  was  to  be  far-away   California. 

riiis  visualization  illustrates  two  important  points.  First,  no

\n..ilier  great  westward  movement  doubled  the  width  of  the

and  extends  one-third  of  the  way  around  the  globe. 

The  United  States  has  no  territories,  since  Alaska  and 
Hawaii  are  now  states.  These  are  the  first  new  states  in  47 
years  but  before  that  eight  flags  were  changed  after  only  two 
years.  In  fact  only  six  American  flags  have  lasted  over  ten 
years.

"Your  editorial  in  the  April,  1960,  issue  of  'Educa- 
tional Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide'  stimulated 
my  interest  in  the  area  of  terminology  in  the 
audiovisual  field— with  the  enclosed  article  as  the 
result."— Mr.  Cohen 


JL  he  years  since  1900  have  seen  a  rapid  rise 
in  the  use  of  equipment  and  materials  to  further 
instruction  through  realism,  concreteness  and 
utilization  of  multi-sensory  experiences.  Electric- 
ity and  the  modern  machinery  utilizing  this  force 
have  made  possible  the  communications  media 
we  use  today.  And  as  the  field  of  interest  has  de- 
veloped,  confusion    in   terminology   has    grown. 

Such  terms  as  "school  museum,"  "visual," 
"auditory,"  "visual-sensory,"  "perceptual,"  "audio- 
visual" and  "instructional"  have  been  used  to  de- 
scribe "aids,"  "materials,"  "programs,"  "instruc- 
tion" and  "education."  The  use  of  these  terms  did 
not  provide  any  clear-cut  meanings.  Many  au- 
thors used  them  interchangeably,  some  used 
them  with  over  lapping  or  contradictory  mean- 
ings, and  others  avoided  any  attempts  to  define 
terminology.  For  example,  although  Kinder  in 
1950  defined  the  term  audiovisual  in  his  book 
and  used  it  in  the  title,  he  included  motion  pic- 
tures, dramatization  and  puppetry  under  the 
heading  "Visual  Materials  and  Techniques," 
while  television  appeared  under  "Auditory  Mate- 
rials and  Techniques. 1" 

The  question  is  whether  these  tools  are  simply 
aids  or  crutches  for  other  learning  materials  and 
for  the  teacher  or  whether  they  ave  valuable  in 
their  own  right.  It  is  now  rather  widely  accepted 
that  the  latter  is  the  case,  and  the  term  "materials" 
is  therefore  gaining  in  usage,  although  persons 
accepting  the  meaning  of  "materials"  may  still 
use  the  term  "aids"  from  habit  or  lack  of  care- 
ful attention  to  the  use  of  terminology.^ 

The  more  difficult  problem  stems  from  the  way 
in  which  the  field  of  audiovisual  education  grew 
—rapidly,  unevenly,  with  personnel  from  various

backgrounds  and  without  common  training  an 
professional  vocabularies.   Because    the    aucli( 
visual  movement  began  with    the    opening    i 
school  museums  which  continually  added  m(ji 
and  more  materials  and  equipment  to  their  avail 
able  resources,  the  term  "school  museum"  earl 
developed  into  a  label  for  all  audiovisual  matei 
ials.  In  the  following  years,  however,  it  came  ti 
have  more  specific  meaning,  and  a  new  teni 
came  into  popular  and  professional  usage:  "visua  > 
education."  This  term  first  appeared  as  the  tith 
of  the  Keystone  View  Company's  Teachers  Guidi 
to  the  Keystone  "600"  Set,  a  guide  to  the  use  o 
slides  and  stereographs,  published  in  1960. 

Visual  education  obviously  grew  out  of  tht 
concern  with  utilization  of  pictures  that  develop 
ed  from  the  time  of  the  Renaissance,  with  specia 
growth  after  the  invention  of  photography  anc 
the  half  tone  in  printing  and  of  early  projectioi 
and  viewing  equipment.  The  introduction  of  tht 
motion  picture  and  its  growth  after  1929  led  tc 
the  need  for  a  "visual  specialist"  who  could 
select,  purchase,  maintain  and  schedule  equip 
ment  and  films,  and  train  operators  or  teach 
teachers  to  operate  equipment.  The  expansion 
of  this  program  led  to  the  Visual  Director's 
position  and  the  appearance  of  visual  education 
societies  and  periodicals.  An  inspection  of  the 
Educational  Index  from  1929  to  1932  reveals  149 
articles  under  the  heading  of  "Visual  Education,' 
with  cross  references  to  Blackboards,  Lantern 
Projection,  Moving  Pictures  in  Education,  Nation- 
al Academy  of  Visual  Instruction,  and  Stere- 
ographs. All  of  the  articles  deal  with  visual  aids, 
except  for  a  few  that  consider  "visual  and  other 
sensory  aids." 

By  this  time,  radio  had  become  an  important 
educational  tool  in  its  own  right,  and  the  same 
volume  of  the  Educational  Index  contains  six 
pages  of  articles  dealing  with  this  medium,  plus 
four  articles  under  the  heading  of  "Phonograph," 
but  there  is  no  cross  reference  to  "visual  educa- 
tion." In  the  schools,  too,  the  existing  library 
organization  retained  control  of  printed  materials, 
the  visual  departments  handled  the  pictorial 
problems,  and  the  audio  or  radio  division  took 
care  of  the  broadcasting  medium.  These  three 
specializations,  with  separate  authority,  respon- 
sibility, organization  and  administration  seem  to 
have  been  typical  of  the  general  pattern  of  de- 
velopment. Some  people  in  the  field  of  "visual 
education"  included  all  audiovisual  materials  in 
their  considerations,  but  in  general  materials  were 
emphasized  which  utilized  the  eye  as  the  major 
avenue  to  learning.  The  Dictionary  of  Education 
defines  visual  education  as  "all  education  based 
on  the  use  of  materials  (other  than  books)  that 
appeal  directly  to  the  sense  of  sight."

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — June,  1960 


>     Between  1932  and  1935,  there  were  146  articles 
'  U'd  under  the  heading  of  "Visual  Education"  in 
Educational  Index,  with  a  few  of  the  articles 
men  like  McClusky,  Dent  and  Hoban  contain- 
r^  a  new  term:  "visual-sensory  instruction."  They 
rognized  that  the  division  of  visual  from  audi- 
r\-  was  artificial,  but  they  were  ahead  of  their 
lies.  Radio  was  now  a  much  larger  grouping

In  the  next  volume  covering  the  years  1935-

ider   the    heading   of   "Visual   Education."   Of 
ii'se,  some  articles  contradicted  the  heading  by 
^ing  the  term  "sight  and  sound  aids"  in  their 
ties  and  12  others  used  the  term  "audio-visual 
laterials"  for  the  first  time.  ( One  of  the  earliest 
^<'s  of  the  term   "audio-visual"  seems  to  have

nurse,  the  mention  of  the  term  audiovisual  here

ic,  and  no  one  seems  to  be  able  to  claim  the 
i'>tinction  of  being  the  first  one  to  use  the  term. 
lie  term  "visual-sensory  aids"  was  short  lived,

L  -\  the  1938  to  1941  volume  of  the  Educational 
lulcx,  28  of  the  255  articles  contained  the  term 
audio-visual"  in  their  titles.  These  articles, 
hough  still  under  the  heading  of  "Visual  Educa- 
i<iii,"  began  to  indicate  a  wide  awareness  of  the 
lose  interrelationship  among  visual  education, 
idio  in  education,  photography,  phonographs, 
notion  pictures,  excursions,  etc.  Audio  and  visual 
oil  Id  not  be  kept  departmentalized  much  longer, 
11(1  in  the  1941-1944  edition  of  the  Educational 
luh'x  the  heading  "Audio-Visual  Education" 
ppeared  for  the  first  time  with  68  articles  list- 
'1.  The  influence  of  the  armed  services'  experi- 
iKes  in  World  War  11  was  reflected  in  this 
li  iiige  as  well  as  the  growing  movement  for 
(iinbining  the  terms  audio  and  visual.  However, 
\  isual  Education"  was  retained  as  a  separate 
leading  and  had  60  listings.  Cross  references  in- 
liuled  all  of  the  audiovisual  materials.  Audio- 
isua!  materials  were  gaining  "co-ordinate  stand- 
uti  with  such  other  learning  materials  as  Ijooks, 
>ainplets,  newspapers  and  the  like,"  and  coming 
o  he  considered  as  primary  means  of  com- 
nunicating  ideas.'' 

In  the  volume  for  the  years  1944-47,  the  head- 
ng  "Audio- Visual  Education"  contained  220  list- 
ngs,  and  "Visual  Education"  another  146.  The 
1947-50  volume  contained  95  items  under  "Visual 


Education,"  and  seven  pages  dealt  with  materials 
under  the  headings  "Audio-Visual  Aids"  and 
"Audio- Visual  Education,"  while  cross  references 
were  made  to  "Audio-Visual  Demonstration 
Centers."  In  this  issue  "Instructional  Materials 
Centers"  was  a  heading  for  the  first  time,  but 
there  was  no  cross  reference  to  the  audiovisual 
field.  A  new  phase  of  the  materials  problem  had 
been  reached. 


xVUDIO  and  visual  had  been  united  and  had 
come  to  include  all  activities  concerned  with 
"types  of  teaching  aids  that  are  not  exclusively 
verbal.""  Brown  and  Vandemeer  defined  audio- 
visual materials  as  those  "which  do  not  depend 
exclusively  upon  comprehension  of  words  or 
similar  symbols."*  This  created  a  special  area 
known  as  audiovisual  education  but  left  as  many 
problems  as  had  been  solved.  The  materials  of 
instruction  for  teachers  to  use  with  students  were 
divided  as  artificially  as  ever  on  a  basis  of  print- 
ed vs.  non-printed,  verbal  vs.  non-verbal  or 
sensory  vs.  intellectual.  Any  teacher  could  see 
that  such  divisions  would  not  help  her  utilize 
more  easily  the  materials  in  the  classroom.  Many 
perceptive  educators  could  see  this  too,  and 
demands  for  improving  the  situation  came,  as 
usual,  long  before  they  were  reflected  by  cross- 
referenced  headings  in  the  Educational  Index. 

As  far  back  as  1928,  Anna  Dorris  had  seen  the 
need  for  concentrating  on  the  child  rather  than 
the  materials  when  she  wrote  that  any  education- 
al tool  or  device  must  be  considered  only  in  terms 
of  the  "degree  that  it  may  help  pupils  solve  their 
childish  problems  and  stimulate  their  interest  in 
gaining  new  knowledge.""  In  1937,  with  a  much 
improved  idea  of  curriculum.  Max  R.  Brunstetter 
pointed  out  that  educators  must  "integrate  basic 
instructional  materials  with  the  local  classroom 
teaching,"  both  in  the  traditional  program  that 
existed,  and  in  the  new  areas  and  methods  of 
instruction  that  were  developing.* 

In  1944  the  University  of  Chicago  established 
a  center  for  research  on  audiovisual  instruction- 
al materials,  but  set  out  to  "study  and  develop  all 
kinds  of  instructional  material  s."®  In  1945, 
Stephen  M.  Corey  spoke  of  the  need  to  "develop 
simultaneously  a  variety  of  well-integrated  in- 
structional  materials    to    contribute   to   specific

teaching  objectives,"  and  advocated  the  establish- 
ment of  "instructional  material  development 
centers."'" 

Paul  W.  F.  Witt  summed  up  the  situation  in  an 
excellent  and  forceful  manner  when  he  wrote 
that  audiovisual  materials  are  all  simply  "in- 
structional materials  and  are  used  for  much  the 
same  purposes  that  teachers  use  books  and  other 
printed  materials.  Any  hindrances  to  the  develop- 
ment of  this  concept  should  be  eliminated. 
Separation  of  audiovisual  instruction  from  other 
aspects  of  the  instructional  program  tends  to  keep 
emphasis  focused  on  materials  as  such  rather 
than  on  the  needs  and  concerns  of  the  learners."" 
It  was  only  in  1955  that  echoes  of  this  statement 
were  heard  when  Paul  Reed  saw  the  need  for 
integrating  all  instructional  materials  and  Edgar 
Dale  wrote  in  The  Newsletter,  "I  am  sure  that 
the  time  has  now  come  to  think  much  more 
broadly  in  terms  of  all  instructional  materials."*^ 


X  HIS  concept  of  a  unified  approach  to  all  "in- 
structional materials"  has  by  no  means  gained 
nationwide  acceptance  as  yet,  and  among  those 
who  do  accept  it  there  is  no  agreement  as  to  how 
to  achieve  it.  Some  leaders  see  it  as  question  of 
cooperation  between  audiovisual  and  other  per- 
sonnel. James  Kinder  says  that  "materials  of  any 
type  whatsoever  cannot  be  divorced  from  the 
total  educational  process,  if  they  are  going  to 
accomplish  maximum  results.  Tne  Director  of 
Curriculum  Research  and  Construction  and  the 
Director  of  Audiovisual  Education  must  work 
together."^^  BrovtTi  and  Vandermeer  agree,  and 
see  the  integration  of  instructional  materials  be- 
ing accomplished  by  the  teacher  upon  the  basis 
of  information  provided  by  the  various  adminis- 
trative departments,^*  and  F.  W.  Noel  vvTote  in 
1949  that  "administrators  should  avoid  placing 
the  ( audiovisual )  department  where  it  might  be- 
come involved  in  the  differences  and  disputes 
which  frequently  revolve  around  curriculum 
revision."*^ 

Others  see  it  quite  differently,  as  do  Professors 
Brunstetter  and  Witt  when  they  say  that  the 
"school  administrator  should  make  the  audio- 
visual director  a  member  of  the  team  responsible

for  supervision  and  curriculum  improvement.' 
L.  C.  Larson  points  out  that  the  primary  purpo 
of  the  audiovisual  center  is  to  "find  ways 
enriching  the  curriculum,"  and  that  of  the  audi 
visual  director  the  "improvement  of  instru 
tion.""  Helen  Seaton,  on  the  basis  of  her  19' 
study,  offered  the  opinion  that  "development 
a  unified  department  of  instructional  materia 
probably  offers  the  greatest  opportunity  for  fi 
integrated  use  of  all  teaching  aids  in  the  future." 
Paul  W.  F.  Witt  wrote  that  "from  a  practicj 
point  of  view  it  is  desirable  also  for  teachers 
be  able  to  come  to  a  single  source  for  inform 
tion  and  assistance  relative  to  the  use  of  instru 
tional  materials,  and  to  obtain  there  whatevi 
materials  they  may  need."i"  He  added  that  tf 
"centralization  of  responsibility  for  all  types  < 
instructional  materials  seems  highly  desirable," 
and  with  Max  R.  Brunstetter  in  1954  recommenc 
the  provision  of  a  central  instructional  materia 
center.-'  In  1955,  Paul  C.  Reed  sees  audiovisu; 
and  printed  materials  as  the  concern  of  an  e: 
panded  department  of  instructional  materials. 
Changing  over  from  "audiovisual  material; 
to  "instructional  materials"  involves  much  moi 
than  deciding  whether  to  have  the  old  depar 
ments  cooperate  better  or  to  establish  a  new  an 
expanded  department  of  instructional  material 

The  question  remains;  Is  there  any  justifies 
tion  for  maintaining  a  separate  and  distinct  cla; 
sification  called  "audiovisual  education?"  Ir 
structional  materials"  seems  inadequate,  an 
"instructional  resources"  raises  hackles  in  som 
quarters.  From  blackboard  drawings  and  map 
to  language  laboratories  and  teaching  machine 
a  strong  connecting  thread  is  needed.  Program 
ming  is  becoming  a  big  word  in  the  equipmer 
and  materials  field  and  suggests  an  integratio 
of  the  current  audiovisual  area  with  the  curricu 
luni  area.  Perhaps  a  clear  organizational  patter 
based  upon  current  realities  and  needs  will  mak 
it  easier  for  specialists  and  teachers  to  work  tc 
gether,  to  understand  each  other,  to  a  v  o  i  c 
duplication  and  confusion,  and  to  provide  bette 
educational  experiences  for  the  nation's  pupil;

Filmstrip  Standards 

In  1957  we  called  attention  to  the 
need  for  standards  for  the  filmstrip. 
A  few  people  were  alarmed.  They 
thought  any  mention  of  the  filmstrip's 
inherent  weaknesses  as  a  medium 
might  wreck  the  business.  What  pessi- 
misml 

At  Penn  State,  where  the  'Green 
Lake'  conference  was  held  that  year, 
a  few  people  took  this  challenge  seri- 
ously and  called  an  informal  meeting 
of  those  interested.  Some  20  came,  all 
deeply  concerned.  When  it  adjourned 
it  was  pretty  well  agreed  that  there 
should  be  another  meeting  to  go  fur- 
ther into  the  matter  of  specifications 
for  the  filmstrip. 

Meetings  were  held,  and  the  result 
was  a  folder  entitled  Standard  Speci- 
fications for  the  35mm  Single  Frame 
Filmstrip.  It  lucidly  sets  forth  dimen- 
sional and  other  specifications  in  the 
hope  that  the  industry  wiU  adopt 
them. 

A  week  later  I  received  a  filmstrip 
which  had  been  manufactured  under 
these  specifications.  There  were  the 
green  frames  to  start  on,  the  right 
number  of  frames  for  all  the  credits, 
the  body  of  the  fs  and  at  the  end  the 
two  red  frames. 

Without  sacrificing  individual  initi- 
ative and  creativity,  the  manufacturers 
of  filmstrip  projectors  would  do  well 
to  get  together  and  set  up  a  few  sim- 
ple standards  for  the  machines  which 
are  to  project  these  much-improved 
filmstrips.  It  is  not  too  early  to  get  at 
this  job.  One  thing  is  sure:  The  pro- 


jected still  picture  is  and  will  be  the 
workhorse  of  visual  aids  for  some 
time,  but  we  are  equally  convinced 
that  the  filmstrip  in  its  present  form 
and  format  can  stand  some  improve- 
ment as  a  medium.  This  goes  for  pro- 
jectors, too. 


Yes,  Do  Stop! 

May  I  quote:  "A  startling  new 
film,  full  color  animation,  with  an 
original  jazz  score:  subject,  safe  driv- 
ing; the  title.  Stop  Driving  Us  Crazy." 
Quoting  further  from  a  little  exploita- 
tion folder:  "It  is  a  crazy  new  film, 
with  crazy  color,  crazy  animation  and 
a  crazy  new  jazz  score,  but  it's  good 
education,  too." 

I  can  agree  up  until  the  last  clause. 
From  then  on  I  would  like  to  disagree. 
I  did  not  find  the  film  funny.  What's 
funny  about  safe  driving,  or  accidents, 
or  trying  to  put  Christian  standards  in- 
to practice  when  driving?  I  tried  to  like 
this  film  (running  time  10  minutes) 
but  I  just  could  not.  I  tried  to  think 
that  it  was  good  education  in  a  new 
format,  but  I  could  not  see  it  that  way. 
The  flier  talks  about  "top  modern 
talent  from  films,  art,  television,  and 
music."  What  a  pity  there  were  no 
educators  available!  But  I'm  glad  the 
General  Board  of  Temperance  of  the 
Methodist  Church  made  the  film.  It 
may  prove  two  things:  that  the  Metho- 
dist have  come  a  long  way  when  they 
can  jazz  up  temperance;  and  that  it 
takes  know-how  as  well  as  'talent'  to 
make  a  good  and  useful  educational

Vhy  Is  Usage  Down? 

Some  weeks  ago  a  news  release 
line  to  my  desk  saying  that  many 
lurches  were  not  taking  full  advan- 
lyc  of  the  wealth  of  films,  filmstrips 
1(1  other  religious  visual  aids  now 
.  lilable  for  congregational  preaching 
111  teaching.  This  is  true,  but  hardly 
'  us'. 

On  this  matter  we  would  like  to 
akf  three  observations;  first,  the  pro- 
iiicrs  deserve  some  of  the  blame,  and 
ic  distributor  is  at  fault,  and  the 
iral  church  has  been  taking  its  ease 

I  the  status  quo,  not  in  Zion. 

\  decade  ago  most  producers  learn- 
'  !)>'  close  association  with  users  that 
ii\  needed  to  up-grade  their  produc- 
ins  both  technically  and  in  content 
li\ance.  This  they  have  done;  on 
||^  tliey  deserve  our  praise.  One  thing 
ii\  have  not  done,  however.  They 
i\c  not  sold  the  distributors  on  the 
■-'I Illness  of  their  products.  They 
i\<'  sold  the  stuff,  but  not  motivated 

II  dealer  to  recommend  it  to  the  ulti- 
iilc  customer  in  terms  of  what  it  is 
iikI  for.  One  would  think  that  rental 
liiaries  and  AV  dealers  would  not 
11(1  prodding  by  the  producer  on  this 

iilcr.  But  they  do. 

Two  things  ail  a  lot  of  distributors: 
111  A  don't  know  what's  "in  the  can," 
11(1  they  don't  know  their  customers, 
lie  cliurches,  and  have  little  apprecia- 
i'ln  for  their  specific  program  needs. 
t  N  not  enough  to  send  out  a  flier  say- 

u    in  summary,  "We've  got  a  film, 

I'll  t  you  rent  it?"  Rather,  "We've  a 
K  \\  release;  just  the  thing  for  your 
(lutli  fellowship.  It  deals  with  so  and 
(I  and  it  will  set  the  stage  for  a  dis- 
nssion  of  such  and  such  a  question." 
1(1  too  many  dealers,  films  are  films. 

III  rries  are  cherries,  but  you  don't  sell 
n.naschinos  to  the  woman  who  wants 
o  bake  a  pie.  Wise  up,  dealers;  find 
>ut  what  the  material  in  those  cans  is 
;ood  for. 

Get  out  and  know  your  churches. 
Ceep  an  up-to-date  list  of  who  is  a 


potential  film-user  in  the  churches  of 
your  area.  Don't  expect  the  pastor  to 
channel  your  information.  Rather,  get 
from  him  the  names  of  the  leaders  of 
the  various  groups  of  the  church.  Go 
after  these  people  directly.  Tell  them 
what  you  have  and  what  it  is  good  for 
in  terms  of  their  needs.  This  means 
acquaintance  with  the  churches.  If  you 
are  too  busy  to  do  this,  youll  be  less 
busy  in  a  year  or  sol 

Churches  don't  use  what  they  don't 
know  about  and  too  many  churches 
have  made  too  little  efiFort  to  find  out 
what  is  available  now  in  films  and  film- 


strips.  Every  now  and  then  we  run 
into  ministers  who  have  learned  noth- 
ing since  they  came  into  the  move- 
ment—and sat  down  and  dozed  off. 
They  are  dreaming  of  the  day  when 
high  quality  materials  will  be  pro- 
duced, not  knowing  that  they  have 
Rip  Van  Winkled  right  thru  ihe  last 
decade!  Mighty  few  ministers  have 
utilization  know-how  to  match  the  in- 
herent quality  of  most  materials  pro- 
duced in  the  last  five  years.  Rise  up,

local  church  leaders  down.  So  have  the 
local  coiincils.  So  has  the  National 
Council  of  Churches.  Not  one  of  these 
has  a  record  of  achievement  when  it 
comes  to  helping  the  local  churches 
fruitfully  employ  these  fine  new  media 
in  the  ongoing  programs  of  the  church. 
The  general  level  of  know-what  and 
know-how  is  little  higher,  if  any,  than 
a  decade  ago.  Total  usage  shows  a 
poor  ratio  to  new  productions. 

Setting  AV  materials  of  all  kinds  in 
a  context  of  utilization  requires  edu- 
cational imagination,  and  we  have  too 
little  of  it.  This  is  the  bottleneck  re- 
stricting usage  today. 

In  closing:  Producers,  do  more  than 
sell  the  local  distributor;  explain  what 
it  is  good  for.  Distributor,  know  your 
goods  and  your  customer's  needs. 
Churches,  it  is  later  than  you  think, 
and  while  the  status  quo  may  be  a 
comfortable  bed  to  snooze  on,  it  is  a 
poor  place  to  be  when  the  Lord  of 
The  Harvest  declares  the  fields  are 
ripe  into  the  harvest. 

Wind-Up  O.K. 

The  wind-up  for  the  20-some  min- 
ute b&w  film  Should  You  Drink?  wsls 
good  but  the  pitch  didn't  get  over  the 
plate.  It  didn't  miss  the  plate;  it  just 
did  not  get  there  at  all.  A  certain 
young  woman  is  slicking  up  for  a  din- 
ner party.  Her  fiance  is  trying  via 
alcohol  to  put  over  a  real  estate  deal. 
He  drinks  so  he  can  do  a  bang  up  sell- 
ing job;  then  he  drinks  because  his 
alcohol-saturated  brain  fluffs  the  deal. 
Finally  he  arrives  at  the  party,  which 
has  gone  slowly  through  the  cocktails 
phase.  As  they  do,  some  one  brings  up 
the  question,  "Should  you  drink?" 

Now  this  deep  probing  is  conducted 
by  brains  wet  with  ethyl,  and  they  de- 
cide that  just  about  everybody  can 
and  should.  One  male,  sipping  his 
coke,  says  he  just  doesn't  like  the  stuff, 
but  his  wife  does,  and  how!  Now  these 
five  couples  are  charming  people, 
weD-maimered,  well-dressed,  prosper- 
ous and  well-adjusted.  Well,  not  quitel 
Down  imdemeath  there  is  in  each  of 
them  that  httle  maladjustment  that 
calls  for  alcohol  and  the  compensa- 
tions alcohol  can  give  (so  delight- 
fully).

Works  of  Mercy 

Son  of  Ahmad,  a  75-frame,  15- 
minute  b&w  filmstrip,  was  produced 
by  the  Broadcasting  and  Film  Com- 
mission of  the  NCC  for  Church  World 
Service  and  its  cooperating  denomina- 
tions. Its  first  use  was  in  connection 
with  the  1960  One  Great  Hour  of 
Sharing.  After  that  it  helped  church 
people,  young  and  old,  see  and  under- 
stand the  need  of  disaster  refugees 
for  food,  housing,  medicines  and  con- 
structive work  projects. 

Through  the  eyes  of  a  typical  vil- 
lage boy  of  about  14  years  we  see  the 
relief  and  rehabilitation  programs 
which  the  churches  of  the  world  sup- 
port and  we  come  to  understand  the 
impact  which  these  works  of  mercy 
and  help  make  upon  the  people  who 
are  assisted.  Fine  and  useful  produc-

The  User  Designs  A  Projector 

Let  me  put  together  the  things  that 
the  lay  worker  in  the  church  wants  in 
a  filmstrip-shde  projector: 

E^ase  in  threading.  They  don't  like 
units  that  combine  the  insertion  of  the 
filmstrip  with  the  engagement  of  the 
propelling  sprockets.  Thus,  inserting 
should  be  kept  separate  from  sprocket 
engagement. 

Ease  of  framing.  Whether  push  or 
pull  it  must  be  positive,  and  the  "han- 
dle" for  it  ought  to  be  easily  found  by 
the  fingers  in  the  dark. 

Ease  in  elevation.  They  don't  like  a 
machine  where  the  center  of  gravity 
changes  when  the  projector  lens  is 
elevated,  nor  those  with  front  legs 
close  together.  They  tip  too  easily. 
They  prefer  not  to  turn  nuts  or  unlock 
and  re-lock  legs  that  kick  out.  They 
like  the  base  to  stay  put  when  elevat- 
ing the  image. 

Ease  in  focusing.  They  don't  hke 
objective  lens  assembhes  that  fit  slop- 
pily and  wobble.  If  focusing  is  of  the 
push-puU  kind,  let  it  sUp  easily  and 
stay  put  If  of  the  rotating  variety, 
they  want  it  firm  and  positive.  The 
kind  that  jumps  a   groove  and  goes 


completely-  out  of  focus  drives  therr 
nuts. 

Heat  and  Light.  They  wonder  \\\\\ 
the  ventilation  louvers  above  the  laiiii 
can't  tut  forward  so  light  won't  leal 
into  their  faces;  why  some  projector 
get  too  hot;  and  why  there  can't  be  ; 
way  provided  for  some  fight  to  leal 
out  onto  the  reading  script. 

We  have  four  projectors:  \Veen' 
Tiny,  a  midget  from  some  distant  pas 
for  use  on  a  table  with  a  class;  Finge 
Masher,  older  vintage  which  is  hated 
Easy  Willie,  which  everyone  want 
and  sigjis  up  for;  Clumsy  Clim,  whicl 
no  one  wants  to  use.  Oh,  yes,  we  havi 
a  new  one.  Cool  Clarence,  who  i 
already  making  and  keeping  friend 
because  he  is  so  positive  and  well  ad 
justed!

escription 

In  the  colorful  setting  of  India's 
>pical  rain  forest  country.  Elephant 
aby  tells  the  true  stor>-  of  an  ele- 
lant  from  his  first  days  with  his 
other  through  the  many  weeks  of 
aining  in  a  crude  "classroom"  of 
imboo  to  the  day  he  proves  himself 
■ady  to  join  the  working  elephants 

the  teakwood  lumber  camp. 

The  film  opens  as  Raman,  a  young 

i\,  is  searching  for  an  elephant 
om  his  father's  herd  which  had  gone 
ito  the  forest  to  have  her  baby.  Ra- 
an  soon  comes  upon  the  mother  and 
?r  baby  who  appears  to  be  strong 
id  healthy.  He  decided  to  name  it 
i;heria,"  the  little  one.  The  camera 
lOves  closer  to  watch  Cheria  as  he  is 
linking  his  mother's  milk,  which  is 
id  to  be  the  richest  of  all  animal 
ilk.  Cheria  drinks  three  gallons  a  day 
id  will  continue  to  nurse  from  his 
lother  during  the  next  two  years. 

The  three  return  to  the  lumber 
ji  unp  where  Raman's  father  will  be 
aiting  to  see  the  baby.  Teakwood. 
very  hard  and  heavy  wood,  requires 
le  strength  of  elephant-workers  to 
aiisport  it  to  the  river.  This  wood  is 
le  main  source  of  income  for  the 
illage.  Cheria  and  his  mother,  who 

relieved  from  heav\-  work  for  a  few 
lonths,  go  to  the  river  for  a  cooling 
ith.  -All  the  elephants  are  bathed  by 
ii'ir  keepers  in  the  evenings  to  cool 
lem  and  keep  their  skin  from  erack- 

Time  passes  and  Cheria  is  next  seen 
hen  he  is  five  years  old.  During  this 
me  he  has  not  yet  grown  to  adult 
ze.  However,  he  is  considered  to  be 
»ad\'  for  training,  and  a  small  pen  of 
amboo  jwles  is  made  ready.  Here  he 
rst  is  to  feel  the  weight  of  a  human 
n  his  back.  His  reaction  is  similar  to 
liat  of  an  unbroken  horse,  as  he  is 
-r,  een  to  buck  and  try  to  unseat  his 
ider.  But  through  the  trainer's  pa- 
ience  and  rewards  he  eventually 
omes  to  accept  the  rider.  N'ext,  he  is 
lught  the  simple  commands  of  "up" 
nd  "down"  through  the  use  of  a 
eavA   teakwood  block  which  is  low- 


by   L.  C.   Larson   and   Carolyn   Guss 


erel  to  force  Cheria  down,  then  lifted 
to  allow  him  to  rise  while  accompanied 
by  the  proper  commands. 

When  a  tiger  himt  is  organized  in 
the  village,  Cheria  is  allowed  to  ac- 
company the  other  elephants  who 
carry  the  hunters  and  necessary  sup- 
plies. Raman  is  proud  to  see  that 
Cheria  does  not  panic  and  is  obedient 
when  the  tiger  is  sighted  and  killed.  In 
the  last  scenes  the  baby  elephant,  now 
trained  and  mature,  takes  his  place 
with  the  others,  doing  his  full  share  of 
the  work  in  the  lumber  camp.  He  now 
is  no  longer  Cheria,  but  Omban  Yanai 
—a  gro%vn-up  elephant. 

Appraisal 

Elephant  Baby  gives  a  detailed  ac- 
count of  the  daily  activities  of  working 
elephants  in  India  and  of  the  people 
who  train  them.  In  the  social  studies 
area,  it  illustrates  the  importance  of 
elephants  in  India  and  their  training 
as  well  as  presenting  valuable  con- 
cepts about  the  people's  lives,  also  the 
geography,  of  India.  It  is  correlated 
with  basic  readers  for  utilization  in 
the  language  arts  programs,  and  ap- 
propriate to  studies  of  animals  in 
science.  The  few  basic  ideas  are  pre- 
sented clearly  and  simply  and  the 
story-telling  approach  combine  to  sus- 
tain interest  for  the  young  child  in 
this  documentary.  The  film's  technical 
quality  was  considerably  above  aver- 
age. 

Because  the  conditions  in  the  teak- 
wood forests  of  India  are  not  often  so 
primitive  as  pictured  in  this  film,  the 
teacher  needs  to  explain  that  ele- 
phants have  been  replaced  by  ma- 
chinery in  most  locations  unless  the 
terrain  is  unsuitable.  The  dense  jungles 
of  Mysore,  where  elephant  labor  is 
still  commonly  used,  provided  the  lo- 
cale for  this  film.

Description 

Through  the  use  of  animation,   A 
]oumey  Into  Time  depicts  the  condi- 


tion of  the  earth  in  its  primeval  state 
before  there  was  any  life  on  it  The 
transformation  of  the  earth  from  a 
fiery  ball  into  an  inhabitable  globe  is 
pictured.  The  predominant  fonns  of 
life  throughout  geologic  time,  from 
the  beginning  of  life  to  the  ascent  of 
man,  are  featured. 

As  the  film  opens,  the  earth  is  seen 
as  a  fiery  ball  of  rock  with  no  life  of 
any  kind.  As  the  surface  cooled,  it 
contracted  and  hot  steam  and  gases 
were  squeezed  out  to  form  the  prime- 
val atmosphere,  an  atmosphere  so 
thick  that  no  sunlight  coidd  break 
through.  As  rain  formed  frcHn  the 
water  vapor  fell  on  the  earth,  it  was 
immediately  turned  into  steam  and 
boiled  back  into  the  atmosphere.  As 
the  crust  cooled  below  the  boiling 
pK>int,  the  rains  began  in  earnest.  Rain 
must  have  fallen  in  torrents  for  un- 
counted days  to  form  the  oceans. 
Gases,  rich  in  minerals,  continued  to 
spew  from  volcanoes  and  boil  up  from 
the  seas  to  enter  the  atmosphere. 

As  yet  there  was  no  life  but  carbon 
compounds,  the  building  blocks  of  life, 
were  linking  up  in  the  seas.  No  one 
knows  what  the  first  living  things  were 
like.  It  is  thought  by  many  they  wctc 
particles  of  protoplasm.  There  is  no 
trace  of  the  early  beginning  of  life 
nor  of  the  types  \«iuch  immediately 
followed.  However,  as  certain  species 
grew  larger  and  developed  hard  body 
parts,  they  left  impressions  in  the 
rocks  to  form  fossils.  From  these 
fossils  man  has  been  able  to  trace  the 
history  of  life. 

As  pointed  out  in  the  film,  at  the 
dawn  of  the  Paleozoic  Age,  life  was 
found  only  in  water.  Trilobites,  primi- 
tive arthropods,  were  the  highest  form 
of  hfe.  Worms  had  already  had  a  long 
line  of  development.  Their  ancestors, 
however,  had  not  left  a  trace  because 
of  their  soft  bodies. 

Quickly  spanning  about  150  million 
years,  the  film  shows  giant  sea  scor- 
pions and  simple  fish  with  mere  traces 
of  a  backbone.  The  oceans  are  seen 
teeming  with  shellfish.  The  plant-like 
crinoids  were  to  be  found  on  the  ocean 
floor.  Many  trilobites  were  still  to  be 
found;  however,  they  were  no  match 
for  the  giant  nautiloids  which  were 
the  rulers  of  the  deep. 

The  film  then  pictures  a  later 
geologic  time  in  which  plants  were 
still  confined  to  the  seas.  Fish  with 
imier    skeletons    had     developed— die

first  of  the  true  vertebrates.  Many  of 
these  fish  had  sturdy  bones  in  their 
fins  and  were  able  to  breathe  in  or  out 
of  the  water.  In  time  the  shallow 
waters  drained  away  and  plants  such 
as  the  mosses  and  the  huge  equisetum 
conquered  the  land  and  prepared  the 
way  for  land  animals.  Giant  insects 
developed  and  conquered  the  air. 

Some  fish,  having  the  ability  to 
breathe  out  of  the  water,  used  their 
short  fin-like  legs  to  crawl  out  upon 
the  land.  From  these,  the  giant 
amphibians  developed  and  for  a  time 
ruled  the  earth.  They  were  not  com- 
pletely independent  of  the  seas,  how- 
ever, because  they  had  to  be  bom  in 
the  water  and  had  to  return  to  the 
water  to  lay  their  eggs.  Today,  all  the 
giant  amphibians  have  disappeared 
and  only  a  few  small  species  are  left. 
The  giant  plants,  too,  have  long  since 
toppled  into  the  swamps  and  bogs. 
We  see  their  remains  today  as  the  beds 
of  coal  and  peat  which  are  found  over 
the  earth. 

With  the  beginning  of  the  Mesozoic 
era,  as  the  land  was  raised  and  became 
more  arid,  the  amphibians  gave  way 
to  the  reptiles.  The  thick-skinned 
reptile,  whose  eggs  were  enclosed  in 
a  tough  protective  covering,  did  not 
need  to  return  to  the  water  and  could 
move  further  out  upon  the  land.  For 
a  time  the  earth  was  dominated  by 
giant  reptiles  called  dinosaurs.  These 


were  of  varied  types  ranging  from  the 
giant  land  and  sea  forms  to  the  winged 
forms  which  sailed  through  the  air. 
As  always,  the  waters  of  the  sea  teem- 
ed with  shellfish.  These  were  prey  to 
larger  types  of  fish  and  these  in  turn 
to  the  still  larger  aquatic  reptiles.  At 
the  end  of  the  Mesozoic,  the  dino- 
saurs disappeared  from  the  earth  and 
only  a  few  orders  of  pygmies  remain 
today,  remnants  of  a  bygone  age. 

As  a  herd  of  camel-like  mammals  is 
pictured  on  the  screen,  the  narrator 
points  out  that  our  own  period,  the 
Cenozoic,  began  about  70  million 
years  ago.  By  that  time  birds  had  con- 
quered the  air.  Mammals,  with  im- 
proved brains  and  nervous  systems 
and  better  ways  of  caring  for  the 
young,  dominated  the  earth. 

By  the  time  man  appeared,  the 
earth  had  already  assumed  its  familiar 
appearance.  The  earliest  known  man 
was  Pithecanthropus.  He  used  fire, 
developed  a  language  and  made  sim- 
ple tools.  The  next  and  more  intelli- 
gent type  was  Neanderthal  man.  A 
new  type  of  man.  Homo  sapiens,  then 
appeared  on  the  scene.  With  his  ap- 
pearance the  other  types  vanished. 
Skeletons  and  tools  which  have  been 
found,  along  with  drawings  on  cave 
walls,  give  modern  man  a  good  idea  of 
the  early  mode  of  life  of  Homo  sa- 
piens.

Evaluation 

A  Journey  Into  Time  will  do  mu< 
to  cause  biology  and  geology  to  con 
alive  for  the  student.  No  longer  net 
the  "geologic  timetable"  be  a  dr 
meaningless  mass  of  information 
be  memorized.  This  film  helps  i 
show  the  development  of  life  by  pi 
turing  a  sequence  of  increasingly  cor 
plex  forms.  The  use  of  animation 
show  the  animal  and  plant  types  i 
"living"  organisms  makes  the  presei 
tation  much  more  vital  than  does  tl 
usual  study  of  fossil  remains.  The: 
are  those  who  may  object  to  the  sm£ 
number  of  plant  and  animal  typi 
represented  and  to  the  greater  amnui 
of  footage  devoted  to  man  than  h 
existence  in  time  would  warrant.  Tl 
preview  committee,  however,  fee 
that  the  film  will  go  far  toward  ma 
ing  the  study  of  geology  and  the  d 
velopment  of  plant  and  animals  typi 
more  informative  and  more  interestin

•teristics  of  each  are  also  covered. 
The  muscular  system  is  surveyed 
eluding  the  concepts  that  the  mus- 
es are  attached  to  the  bones,  work  in 
tirs,  and  work  by  contraction. 
As  the  doctor  taps  the  boy's  knee 
ith  a  rubber  mallet,  the  narrator  ex- 
ains  what  this  tells  about  the  gen- 
al  condition  of  the  nervous  system. 
lie  function  of  the  nervous  system  is 
)rtrayed  as  an  animated  character  is 
own  stepping  on  a  tack.  The  path  of 
e  stimulus  to  the  brain  and  spinal 
ird  and  the  consequent  action  of  the 
)dy  are  shown. 

The  doctor  examines  the  respiratory 
stem  by  listening  with  a  stethoscope. 
le  narrator  explains  something  of  the 
iture  of  the  sounds  heard  by  the 
)ctor  in  the  case  of  an  infection  of 
e  respiratory  system.  The  location, 
ructure  and  fimction  of  the  lungs  is 
en  traced  by  use  of  diagrams  and 
limation. 

During  the  examination  the  doctor 
els  the  abdominal  region.  Animation

the  small  intestine  is  pictured  to 
ve  a  better  undertanding  of  the 
ork  of  the  capillaries  in  the  digestive 
•ocess. 

A  nurse  takes  a  blood  sample  from 
e  boy's  finger.  As  this  sample  is 
ewed  under  the  microscope,  the 
inction  of  the  red  blood  cells  and  the 
hite  cells  is  discussed.  The  heart 
id  blood  vessels  are  then  treated  in 
;tail  as  the  pulmonary  and  systemic 
rculation  is  described. 
The  major  systems  are  reviewed  as 
e  name  of  each  is  superimposed  over 
e  organs.  The  need  for  a  regular 
lamination  by  a  doctor  is  stressed  in 
e  conclusion. 


ppraisal 

It  is  a  rare  pleasure  to  preview  a 
in  and  not  have  to  say,  "it  would  be 

good  film,  except  for "  Here  is 

1  example,  which,  in  the  opinion  of 
le  film  reviewer,  has  been  well  plan- 
d  and  executed  for  its  intended 
idience. 

The  film  uses  live  photography,  ani- 
ation  and  overlays.  Some  of  the  gen- 
al  functions  of  six  major  organ  sys- 
ins  of  the  body— skeletal,  muscular, 
■rvous,  respiratory,  digestive  and  cir- 
liatory— are  identified,  illustrated  and 
scus.sed.  To  be  sure,  there  is  no  great 
'velopment  in  depth,  but  the  treat- 
ent  is  certainly  adequate  for  either 
1  introduction  to  or  a  review  of  the 
atomy  and  physiology  of  the  human 
)dy  at  the  proposed  grade  levels, 
oreover  there  are  some  "built-in" 
ariiing  aids  in  the  form  of  repetition 
f!  some  of  the  more  complex  actions 
the  heart  and  lungs,  several  exam- 


ples of  audience  participation  and 
even  a  post-showing  suggestion  which 
could  add  "reinforcement"  to  the  learn- 
ing situation. 

The  animation  is  humorous,  clever, 
accurate,  and  at  times  best  described 
as  "outstanding."  Many  a  more  pre- 
tentious film  in  the  same  subject  mat- 
ter area  does  not  do  nearly  so  good  a 
job  of  using  animated  sequences. 

The  use  of  the  more  common  medi- 
cal diagnostic  instruments  and  exami- 
nation procedures,  plus  a  carefully  in- 
tegrated explanation  of  why  they  are 
used  and  what  they  reveal,  should 
prove  enlightening  to  young  people 
who  have  been  intimidated  or  fright- 


ened by  previous  trips  to  the  doctor's 
ofiBce. 

Narration  has  been  kept  simple  and 
non-technical.  It  talks  "to"  and  not 
"down  to"  the  audience.  It  is  clear, 
easy  to  understand   and  well  paced. 

Because  the  film  itself  is  really  a 
summary,  there  is  no  formal  recapitu- 
lation at  the  end. 

Considering  the  magnitude  of  the 
material  covered  and  the  excellence 
with  which  it  has  been  done,  any  sins 
of  omission  or  commission  are  judged 
to  be  minor  and  unimportant.  The 
film  is  highly  recommended.

'otpourri 

"Potpourri"  is  defined  in  Merriam- 
/ebster  as  'a  mixture'  and  indeed 
lis  describes  the  broad  variety  of  in- 
ructional  audio  materials  available 
(J  the  Spoken  Arts  label.  The  library 
f  Spoken  Arts  extends  into  the  areas 
literature  and  art,  into  poetry  and 
rama,  into  folk  songs,  folk  tales  and 
ersonalities. 

In  the  latter  category  there  are 
;cordings  by  Brendan  Behan  who  has 
een  so  frequently  in  recent  headlines, 
this  the  eminent  Irish  author  re- 
iiles  the  hsteners  with  a  selection  of 
ish  folk  songs  and  his  own  inimit- 
3le  commentary  not  only  about  the 
mgs  but  about  the  Irish  people  and 
leir  way  of  life.  His  Irish  Folk  Songs 
'id  Ballads  (Spoken  Arts  760)  is  in- 
resting  not  only  for  its  content  but 
so  for  the  picture  of  himself  drawn 
y  Brendan  Behan  through  this  per- 
)miance. 

Scholarly,    strikingly    original,    and 
(tally  different  in  that  it  approaches 
purely  visual  subject  without  visual 
iplementation    is    Invitation    to    Art 
Jpoken  Arts  763).  And  yet  it  offers 
iformation  which  can  help  the  neo- 
lyte  and  uninitiate  in  understanding 
id   appreciating    visual    arts.    Brian 
iTDoherty,  poet,  painter  and  art  critic, 
as  appointed  a  Research  Fellow  in 
Iducation  at  the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts 
Boston  and  this  brought  him  into 
intact  with  TV  as  a  medium  of  com- 
:unication.    In    the   recording,     Mr. 
I'Doherty  invites  the  listener  to  join 
in  creating  a  personal  framework 
which  art  can  be  correlated  so  that 
becomes  meaningful  to  the  individ- 
il.  This  is  not  a  glossary  of  terms 
a  series  of  definitions  but  rather 
exploration  of  speaker  and  listener 
igether  into  the  realm  of  art  in  which 
ich  subjects  as  line,  emphasis,  dark 
id   hght,  contrast,   brilliance   and   a 
ealth  of  other  everyday  art  terms  are 
formally  discussed.  This  is  a  record- 
ig  which  may  well  find  its  place  in 
struction   in   basic   art  classes   both 
high  school   and  college.   And,   of 
)urse,  it  may  be  very  popular  as  a 
irt  of  a  library's  circulating  collec- 
on. 

The  Spoken  Arts  (95  Valley  Road, 
ew  Rochelle,  N.  Y.)  collection  can- 
3t  be  summarized  in  a  few  words 
iier  than  to  say  that  a  consistently 
igh  level   of  artistic  presentation   is 


maintained  in  a  variety  of  areas.  Some 
of  the  recordings  available  include 
Golden  Treasury  of  De  Nerval,  Bau- 
delaire, Verlaine  and  Rimbaud  (Spok- 
en Arts  764)  which  is  a  reading,  in 
French,  of  representative  work  of 
these  poets;  and  by  comparison  in 
language,  Abba  Eban  who  served  as 
Ambassador  from  Israel  to  the  United 
States  for  almost  ten  years,  reads  from 
the  Psalms  and  Ecclesiastes  in  both 
English  and  Hebrew.  This  recording 
demonstrates  not  only  the  musical 
quality  of  Mr.  Eban's  voice  but  also 
the  lyric  quaUty  of  both  the  English 
translations  and  the  Hebrew.  Both 
of  these  recordings  have  application 
potential  in  appropriate  language  and 
literature  classes  on  the  secondary  and 
college  levels. 

Did  we  say  poetry?  There  is  The 
Poems  of  Emily  Dickinson  (Spoken 
Arts  761)  read  by  Nancy  Wickwire; 
The  Story  of  Ossian  (Spoken  Arts 
755)  read  by  John  Masefield,  and 
T.  S.  Eliot  reading  his  Burnt  Norton, 
East  Coker,  The  Dry  Salvages  and 
Little  adding  on  Spoken  Arts  #765. 
This  hasty  summary  of  recent  re- 
leases cannot  begin  to  describe  the 
broad  catalogue  earlier  indicated. 
There  are  recordings  of  interest  to 
modem  literature  and  theatre  students 
performed  by  such  well-known  per- 
sons as  Arthur  Miller,  J.  B.  Priestly, 
Marc  Blitzstein,  John  van  Druten, 
Paul  Green,  Erskine  Caldwell  and 
others,  much  poetry,  and  recordings 
exploring  other  aspects  of  aural  com- 
munication. 


Dr.  Arthur  Luce   Klein, 
president  of  Spoken  Arts. 


At  the  'other  end'  of  schooling  ex- 
perience, but  certainly  not  at  the 
'other  end'  of  recording  quality,  there 
are  many  recordings  for  the  younger 
set.  Adventures  in  Music  (RCA  Victor 
LE  1002)  is  designed  to  help  younger 
children  discover  the  beauty  and  grace 
of  superior  musical  presentation.  On 
this  single  record  there  are  excerpts 
from  carefully  selected  compositions 
by  Debussy,  Gounod,  Tchaikovsky, 
Rossini,  Elgar,  Herbert,  Copland, 
Bach  and  other  well-known  composers. 
The  selections  are  rhythmic  and  tune- 
ful and  will  appeal  to  young  listen- 
ers to  whom  fine  music  is  being  care- 
fully introduced.  With  the  recording 
(performed  by  the  National  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  conducted  by  How- 
ard Mitchell)  is  a  very  useful  guide 
prepared  for  teacher  use  by  Gladys 
and  Eleanor  Tipton. 

Still  in  the  lower  grades,  lend  an 
ear  to  three  new  editions  in  the  Read 
Me  a  Story  series  produced  by  Weston 
Woods  Studios,  Inc.,  of  Weston,  Con- 
necticut. There  are  four  stories   (two

on  each  side)  of  each  of  three  records. 
These  are  all  read  by  Owen  Jordan 
to  a  very  pleasant  musical  background 
supplied  by  Arthur  Kleiner.  The  first 
of  these  includes  "Caps  for  Sale"  (by 
Esther  Slobodnika),  "Little  Toot"  (by 
Hardie  Gramatky),  "The  Biggest 
Bear"  (by  Lynn  Ward)  and  "Andy 
and  the  Lion"  (by  James  Daugherty). 

On  the  second  of  these  recordings 
there  are  the  stories  "In  the  Forest" 
(by  Marie  Hall  Ets),  "Curious  George 
Rides  A  Bike"  (by  H.  A.  Rey),  "The 
Five  Chinese  Brothers"  (by  Claire 
Huchet  Bishop)  and  "Jenny's  Birthday 
Book"  (by  Esther  Averill).  And  the 
third  offers  "Pancho"  (by  Berta  and 
Elmer  Hader),  "Johnny  Crow's  Gar- 
den" (by  L.  Leshe  Brooks),  "White 
Snow  Bright  Snow"  (by  Alvin  Tres- 
selt)  and  "Magic  Michael"  (by  Louis 
Slobodkin). 

The  applications  of  these  record- 
ings in  the  schoolroom  are  immediate- 
ly obvious.  Story  telling  hour  can  be 
made  more  entertaining  with  this 
added  variety  of  voice  and  source  of 
material  as  well  as  mode  of  presenta- 
tion. For  the  harassed  librarian- 
school  or  public— here  is  the  idea  sub- 
stitute for  that  rainy  afternoon  story 
telling  hour  when  all  the  children  are 
there.  Or  plan  to  use  these  and  other 
story  telling  records  regularly  as  part 
of  the  library  program. 

Then,  of  course,  the  teacher  train- 
ing institution  misses  something  when 
materials  of  this  nature  are  not  'on 
hand'  for  student  listening.  First, 
there  is  the  immediate  source  of  in- 
formation about  recorded  materials. 
Then  there  is  the  example  of  fine 
story  telling  which  may  well  be  copied 
in  the  classroom.  And  here  is  a  way 
to  introduce  these  stories  to  the  col- 
lege student  who  may  want  to  tell 
them,  read  them  or  present  them  via 
records.  Yes,  at  each  end  of  the  study 


area  there  is  a  place  for  these  records 
titled  Read  Me  a  Story  and  produced 
by  Weston  Woods  Studios,  Weston, 
Connecticut. 

Sounds  in  Song 

While  we  are  in  the  grades  let's 
listen  to  a  science  record  intended  for 
the  elementary  school  student.  Space 
Songs  (Science  Materials  Center  101, 
The  Library  of  Science,  59  Fourth 
Avenue,  New  York  3,  N.  Y.)  is  an 
attempt  to  motivate  student  interest 
in  a  variety  of  questions  about  space. 
The  material  is  presented  in  tuneful, 
singable,  rhythmic  songs  (there  is  a 
songbook  of  piano  arrangements  which 
accompanies  the  record)  entitled 
"Planet  Minuet,"  "Ballad  of  Sir  Isaac 
Newton,"  "Friction,"  "Longitude  and 
Latitude,"  "Shooting  Stars,"  "Constel- 
lation Jig,"  "Milky  Way,"  "It's  A  Sci- 
entific Fact,"  "Gravity,"  "Why  Does 
the  Sun  Shine,"  "Why  Do  Stars 
Twinkle,"  "Why  Do  Stars  have  Dif- 
ferent Colors,"  "Why  Go  Up  There," 
"Zoom-a-little-zoom,"  (The  Rocket 
Song),  "Beep-beep"  (The  Satellite 
Song)  and  "What  is  a  Light  Year." 

The  recording  features  an  excur- 
sion into  incidental  learning  in  which 
the  actual  learning  material  is  some- 
what overshadowed  by  the  catchy 
nature  of  the  actual  songs.  Yet,  in  the 
songs,  time  is  taken  for  simple  declara- 
tive statement  of  scientific  fact  which 
can  lead  the  interested  student  to 
further  reading  or  other  inquiry.  Yes, 
there  are  many  children  who  will  en- 
joy hearing,  and  singing  these  songs 
and  whistling  the  tunes,  and  some  will 
be  motivated  thereby  to  further  study. 

In  the  area  of  science— and  at  the 
other  end  of  the  instructional  spectrum 
—is  The  Science  of  Sound  (Folkways 
FX  6007)  which  was  produced  by  the 
Bell   Telephone   Laboratories    and   is

By  comparison,  this  is  not  speculi 
tion,  this  makes  no  effort  to  be  'shov 
manlike  and  appealing'  and  yet  by  i 
very  nature  it  will  attract  many  sti 
dents  and  'hi-fi  buffs'  who  want  I 
understand  still  better  what  and  wl 
sound  is. 

The  recording  starts  with  a  sectic 
on  "How  We  Hear"  and  enters  ini 
discussion  and  demonstration  of  sue 
facets  of  sound  as  "Frequency 
"Pitch,"  "Vibration  and  Resonance 
"Intensity,"  "Loudness,"  "Noise  Mea

"Dissonance  and  Consonance,"  "Mu; 
cal  Scales,"  "Vibrato  and  Tremoh 
and  "The  Doppler  Effect."  And  pa 
enthetically,  in  reference  to  the  Do 
pier  Effect,  we  learned  recently  th 
through  this  the  precise  speed  of  sate 
lites  is  measured. 

The  recording  is  quite  complet 
It  is  a  lecture  and  demonstration, 
is  the  use  of  sound  to  talk  about  sour 
and  to  demonstrate  sound's  properti 
and  qualities  effectively.  This  can  1 
very  useful  in  secondary  school  at 
college  physics  courses  and  to  son 
extent  in  music  instruction. 

There  is  an  abbreviated  version 
this  recording  on  Folkways  FX  61 ! 
which  may  be  ample  for  some  instru 
tional  applications.  The  subjects  i 
eluded  on  this  recording  are  "How  V 
Hear,"  "Frequency,"  "Pitch,"  "Inten: 
ty,"  "The  Doppler  Effect,"  "Echo  at 
Reverberation,"  "Delay  Distortior 
"Fundamentals  and  Overtones 
"Quality"  and  "Filtered  Music  ai 
Speech." 

In  this  'potpourri'  we  must  mentic 
and  acclaim  the  very  ambitious  proje 
undertaken  at  the  Yale  Uiiiversi 
Audio-Visual  Center  under  the  ca 
able  direction  of  Elliott  Kone.  Ei 
ploying  the  trade  name  'Carillon'  Ya

and  they  bode  well  for  the  expansic 
of  our  recorded  literature. 

Thomas  Lask,  writing  in  the  Ne 
York  Times,  said,  "One  of  the  surpr:

We  agree,  and  add  that  the  listen* 
too,  is  a  beneficiary  because  on 
through  this  medium  will  the  mode 
bard  be  heard,  recognized  and  a 
claimed  for  his  true  worth.  These  a

ILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


We  should  like  to  make  a  plea  for  a 
it     more     imagination     and     artistic 

riise  in  the  type  of  drawings  and 
.itches   used   as   the   basis   for   film- 

I  ij)  illustration.  This  is  not  an  attempt 
•  balance  or  compare  direct  photog- 

■  liv  with  drawings;  it  is  not  an  at- 

|)t  to  say  that  one  type  of  illus- 

ition  is  better  than  the  other;  to  say 

;i(  li  things  would  be  downright  silly, 

II  each  type  has  something  to  offer  as 
w  ay  of  visualizing  any  material. 

Direct  photography  has  its  value 
ml  place;  the  artist's  drawing  also  has 
s  place.  Direct  photography  is  good, 
:i(l  there  is  no  denying  the  fact  that 
lir  lens  of  the  camera  catches  things 
s  they  are  and  gives  us  a  pictorial 
ecord  that  is  lifelike.  Sometimes,  how- 
ver,  it  is  good  to  have  the  artist's 
isualization,  for  he  can  eliminate  dis- 
racting  details  and  highlight  impor- 
ant  features.  But  (and  here  is  our 
eason  for  the  initial  plea),  if  only  the 
.rtist  would  use  an  ounce  of  imagina- 
i(Mi,  of  fantasy,  spirit,  call  it  what  you 
'ill,  when  he  makes  his  sketches. 

Instead  of  always  trying  to  make  his 
)ictures  seem  to  be  quasi-realistic 
cenes,  why  not  frankly  include  some 
lumorous  figures,  some  line  drawings 
0  suggest  situations,  some  delicate 
igures  that  create  a  feeling  or  mood. 
t  is  a  relief  sometimes  to  find  pic- 
orial  material  which  is  quite  obvious- 
y  not  "real"  but  which  nevertheless 
ielights  the  eye  of  the  viewer— and 
laving  done  so,  leads  the  mind  to 
■hink  about  many  things.  There  used 
:o  be  a  much  quoted  phrase  to  the  ef- 
"ect  that  "it  was  good  to  leave  some- 
thing to  the  imagination." 

Airplanes,  Jets  and  Rockets  (6 
strips,  color;  produced  by  Jam  Handy 
Organization,  2821  East  Grand  Blvd., 
Detroit,  Michigan;  $31.50  per  set, 
$5.75  single  strips).  The  basic  story 
of  this  series  is  that  of  the  principles 
of  today's  powered  flight.  Included  in 
the  story  are  accounts  of  how  air- 
planes, helicopters,  jets  and  rockets  get 
into  flight  and  what  keeps  them  fly- 
ing. Air  flight  is  a  common  part  of  our 
way  of  life,  but  we  are  not  all  familiar 
with  the  advantages  of  jets  over  pro- 
peller-driven planes;  certainly  we 
know  all  too  little  about  why  satellites 
and  space  stations  orbit  or  how  a 
rocket  works  in  airless  space.  The  in- 
formation in  the  set  is  timely,  and 
well  depicted  for  elementary  and  jun- 


ior high  science  study.  The  story   is 
plainly  presented,  but  interesting. 

Birds  and  Their  Songs  (4  strips, 
color,  with  two  long-playing  12-in. 
records  and  a  guide;  produced  by 
Museum  Extension  Service,  80  West 
40th  Street,  New  York  18,  N.  Y.;  $29 
for  complete  set.)  This  is  a  truly 
splendid  series  for  anyone  interested 
in  nature  study;  it  is  also  a  wonder- 
ful set  to  give  to  pupils  so  that  they 
may  learn  to  know  and  recognize  the 
songs  of  many  of  the  birds  we  hear 
in  our  gardens  and  woodlands.  The 
ability  to  recognize  the  songs  of  these 
birds  will  add  life-long  pleasure  and 
provide  something  that  has  meaning 
for  us  all. 

The  filmstrips  give  us  pictures  of 
about  40  of  the  birds  most  commonly 
found  in  woods,  gardens,  meadows, 
marshes  and  shores.  The  records  were 
recorded  by  expert  ornithologists  and 
have  caught  the  notes  of  the  various 
calls  clearly.  There  is  considerable  in- 
formation about  the  birds,  such  as 
nesting  habits,  migration  patterns,  dis- 
tances flown  and  general  character- 
istics. The  set  is  excellent  and  highly 
to  be  recommended  for  school  use,  for 
camps  and  nature  study  classes  and 
for  all  nature  lovers. 

David  Einhorn:  The  Father  of  the 
Union  Prayerbook  (Single  strips,  color, 
with  manual;  produced  by  The  Union 
of  American  Hebrew  Congregations, 
838  Fifth  Ave.,  New  York  21,  N.  Y.; 
$7.50).  As  the  title  suggests,  this  is 
biography;  the  story  of  a  man  who 
contributed  much  to  Reform  Judaism. 
As  such  it  is  a  strip  to  recommend  to 
all  religious  school  and  adult  religious 
study  groups.  The  life  and  work  of  the 
man  are  clearly  portrayed  and  the  fac- 
tual accoimt  of  his  contributions  to  the 
ritual  of  his  faith  are  well  presented. 
The  strip  also  has  value  as  the  story  of 
how  a  deeply  religious  man  watched 
the  struggle  against  slavery  at  the  time 
of  the  Civil  War,  and  how  his  hatred 
of  human  slavery  influenced  him  in 
his  life  work  as  a  rabbi.  The  illustra- 
tions are  well  drawn  and  the  artist  has 
caught  the  spirit  of  the  story  and 
given  us  a  portrait  of  a  man  and  his 
family,  his  environment  and  his  work. 

Hawaii    (6  strips,   color;  produced 
bv  Visual  Education  Consultants,  Inc., 


2066  Helena  St.,  Madison  1,  Wiscon- 
sin; $39  per  set,  $7..50  single  strips). 
Two  mainland  girls,  Wendy  and  Chris, 
come  by  plane  to  visit  our  new  state, 
and  their  visualized  tour  takes  us  from 
island  to  island  to  see  people,  places, 
ceremonies,  industries,  and  life  in 
Hawaii.  We  go  from  sugar  and  pine- 
apple plantations  to  national  park 
areas,  exploring  and  visiting.  There  is 
a  pronounciation  key  and  primer  of 
the  Hawaiian  language  which  will 
stimulate  pupil  interest,  and  they  will 
be  interested  to  see  many  evidences  of 
the  culture  of  the  past  as  well  as  mod- 
em buildings,  homes  and  recreational 
and  business  areas.  Our  tour  is  well 
planned  and  the  presentation  adapted 
to  material  included  in  curriculum 
units.  There  is  much  that  we  need  to 
know  about  Hawaii,  and  this  series

Beseler  Company  Product  A  Result 
Of  Non-Sensitive  Film  Experiments 


The  Charles  Beseler  Company  of 
East  Orange,  N.  J.,  reports  a  new  film 
which  is  said  to  make  black  and 
white  negatives  from  color  slides,  pro- 
jection positives  from  these  black  and 
white  negatives,  and  black  and  white 
positive  projection  transparencies  from 
any  black  and  white  negative. 

The  film,  called  Slide-o-Film,  should 
enable  photographers  to  work  in  both 
color  and  black  and  white  at  the  same 
time  and  to  compose  their  photo- 
graphs for  both  mediums.  It  will  make 
possible  the  projection  of  black  and 
white  salon  photos  to  large  audiences, 
and  black  and  white  enlargements  of 
these  transparencies. 

The  product  dates  back  almost  ten 
years,  when  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment began  its  initial  tests  of  nu- 
clear fission.  Immediately  after  the 
first  tests,  it  was  discovered  that  "radi- 
ation" or  "fall-out"  caused  serious 
effects  on  regular  films  and  other  "sen- 
sitized" photographic  materials  ...  as 
far  away  as  thousands  of  miles  from 
the  test  site.  At  this  time,  an  inventor 
demonstrated  a  new,  sensitized  film  to 
government  authorities  which,  accord- 
ing to  his  claims,  was  not  sensitive  to 
nuclear  radiation.  With  this  material. 


the  government  bureaus  found  they 
could  record  duplicates  of  their  origi- 
nal negatives  and  positives,  and  these 
duplicates  would  not  be  affected  by 
radiation  caused  by  nuclear  fission. 
What's  more,  since  it  did  not  contain 
silver  nitrate  particles  that  are  sensi- 
tive to  ordinary  light,  it  was  grainless 
and  produced  transparencies  of  re- 
markable clarity,  without  a  trace  of 
grain,  except  for  whatever  grain 
existed  in  the  original. 

The  inventor  set  up  a  manufactur- 
ing plant  to  produce  this  material 
(originally  known  as  "Kalvar"),  and 
supplied  millions  of  feet  to  the  govern- 
ment. 

Early  in  1957,  the  Beseler  company 
became  interested  in  this  material  for 
general  photographic  purposes.  After 
some  months  of  investigation,  the 
company  felt  ready  to  introduce  the 
product  to  professional  and  commer- 
cial users. 

It  was  decided  to  test  it  on  the  ama- 
teur and  commercial  market  before 
offering  it  to  the  general  public.  Early 
in  1958,  through  75  camera  shops  in 
the  New  Jersey-New  York  area,  this 
was  done  for  a  6-month  period.

Here  is  a  small  segment  of  the  exhibits  at  the  DAVI  conventiuii  in

Picture  Book  Parade  (8  filmstrip 
color,  with  filmstrip  text  booklets;  pn 
duced  by  Weston  Woods  Studio 
Weston,  Conn.;  $42  per  set,  $6..= 
single  strip.)  This  series  is  a  she< 
delight  to  review,  for  it  is  refreshir 
and  an  example  of  what  can  be  dot 
with  the  medium  when  that  ounce  ( 
imagination  is  used.  The  stories  ii 
eluded  are  The  Five  Chinese  Brother 
Pancho;  In  The  Forest;  Curioi 
Ceorge  Rides  A  Bike;  Magic  Michae 
Jenny's  Birthday  Book;  White  Snov 
Bright  Snow;  Johnny  Crow's  Gardei 

The  stories  themselves  are  the  kin 
that  you  love  to  read  and  tell  over  an 
over  again,  and  the  art  work  of  tli 
filmstrips  catches  that  entrancing  qua 
ity  of  illusion  which  adds  so  muc 
to  the  pleasure  of  story  telling  an 
makes  it  an  art.  Because  there  are  n 
captions  to  spoil  or  mar  the  pictur 
content  of  the  filmstrips,  there  is  oj: 
portunity  to  feast  one's  eyes  on  eac 
frame  and  really  listen  to  the  story- 
thus  providing  both  a  visual  and  a 
audial  experience  with  real  leaniin 
potential  (not  to  mention  learning  er 
joyment).  Really  excellent  filmstri 
material! 


The  Tabernacle  As  Described  i

duced  by  The  Union  of  Am.  Hebre\ 
Congregations,  838  Fifth  Ave.,  Ne\ 
York  21,  N.  Y.;  $7.50  with  manual) 
This  is  an  extremely  interesting  filn: 
strip  for  any  group  interested  in  Bibli 
cal  history  and  also  for  those  equall 
interested  in  all  matters  pertaining  t 
the  Holy  Land,  archaeological  devel 
opments  and  evidences  of  the  exisi 
ence  of  ancient  cultures.  Of  particula 
interest  is  the  story  of  how  Rev.  Ml 
Shouten,  a  Dutch  Protestant  clergy 
man,  built  a  model  of  the  Tabernacl 
at  Mount  Sinai  and  the  care  he  pu 
into  the  creation  of  this  group.  Intel 
esting  facts  about  the  menorah,  th 
ritual  objects  used,  the  building 
wliicli  constituted  King  Solomon' 
Temple,  are  all  given.  The  art  wor 
is  well  executed  and  there  is  a  feelin; 
of  dignity  in  the  presentation.  This  i 
a  filmstrip  of  value  for  all  groups  in 
terested  in  Biblical  and  cultural  his 
tory.

Mrs.  Mary  Lou  Plugge,  Chairman  of  the  Department  of  Speech  and  Dramatic 
Arts  at  Adelphi  College  in  New  York,  finds  her  NorElco  'Continental'  tape 
recorder  an  essential  tool  in  speech  instruction.  Here  Mrs.  Plugge  illustrates,  to 
her  lovely  student  Carol  Samisch,  the  proper  ivay  to  produce  a  sound.  MiSS 
Samisch,  in  turn,  repeats  the  sound  into  the  tape  recorder  so  that  she  may  listen 
to  an  accurate  reproduction  of  her  oivn  voice  and  compare  it.  Says  Mrs.  Plugge, 
"My  NORELCO  tape  recorder  is  valuable  to  me  for  a  number  of  reasons.  There  is 
an  impressive  tone  quality  in  its  reproduction  of  sound.  Concomitant  with  this  is 
the  aid  of  the  mechanical  pause  button  which  allows  me  to  stop  to  analyze  progress 
without  turning  off  the  machine.  The  control  over  recording  is  such  that  the  possi- 
bility of  accidental  erasure  is  completely  eliminated."  The  Norelco  'Continental' 
is  a  product  of  North  Atnerican  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High  Fidelity  Products  Division, 
Dept.    IS6,  ^30  Duffy  Avenue,  Hicksville,  Long  Island,  New  York.

ual  Track  Lip-sync 
or  16mni  Production 


A  magnetic  sound  recorder  that  as- 
ires  perfectly  synchronized  spot  sound 
eighs  only  seven  pounds. 
Magnasync's  "Nomad"  Model  816  at- 
iches  beneath  any  16mm  camera  and  is 
riven  by  the  camera  by  means  of  a 
exible  cable.  One  half  of  its  sprocket- 
riven  dual  track  tape  is  used  for  lip- 
ync  commentary  and  other  spot  sound 


The   "Nomad" 


vhile  shooting  on  location;  the  other 
lalf  carries  dubbed-in  music  and  other 
lound  added  during  editing.  Simultane- 
)us  playback  of  the  two  tracks  report- 
edly gives  theatre-like  results. 

During  projection  the  sound  is  held  in 
;ync  by  having  the  recorder-playback 
Iriven  by  the  projector.  The  mixed 
iound  may  also  be  transferred  to 
■nagnetically  striped  film  for  use  on  a 
■nagnetic  projector.  Nomad's  transistor- 
ized amplifier  is  powered  by  self-con- 
tained rechargeable  batteries.  A  remote 
sound  mixer  may  be  hand-held  by  a 
cameraman  who  is  alone  on  location, 
■naking  the  shooting  of  synchronized 
sound  shooting  a  one-man  operation  if 
need  be. 


Levolor  Woven  Aluminum 

Aluminum  strip,  pre-painted  and  then 
interwoven  with  nylon,  is  now  available 
in  a  long  line  of  colors  and  in  two  pat- 
terns: Tropic  Weave  and  Tapestry.  The 
latter,  the  top  quality  number,  is  inter- 
laced with  gold  thread  and  more  of  an 
over-all  design.  The  fabric,  highly  flex- 
ible, reportedly  has  exceptional  re- 
sistance to  corrosion  or  other  weather 
deterioration.  Levolor-Lorentzen,  Inc.,

Pledge  Against  Obsolescence 

The  board  of  directors  of  the  Magnetic 
Recording  Industry  Association  has  rec- 
ommended that  all  its  members  stamp 
their  recorders  and  pre-recorded  tapes 
with  a  pledge  to  continue  the  currently 


dominant  reel-to-reel  7%  ips  tape  "as 
long  as  the  market  exists,"  assurance 
against  "unwarranted  obsolescence," 
presumably  by  tape  cartridge  or  pos- 
sibly videotape  developments. 


Non-Intermittent 
16mm  Projector 

General  Electric  announces  a  non- 
intermittent  television  projector  for 
16mm  film  that  adds  brilliance  to  its 
projected  image  because  it  eliminates 
the  "dark"  periods  of  shutter  passage, 
minimizes  the  showing  of  scratches  by 
its  diffused  lighting  reflected  on  the 
rotating  tilted  mirrors  that  follow  the 
film  in  its  passage  over  the  gate,  and 
compensates  for  shrinkage.  This  non- 
intei-mittent  optical  mirror  principle  has 
heretofore  been  applied  experimentally 
only  to  35mm  projection.  The  projector 
was  introduced  at  the  NAEB  convention 
in  April.

Lang-Lab  for  "Project  Hope" 

Electronic  Teaching  Laboratories. 
Washington,  D.C.,  has  donated  a  three- 
unit  language  lab  to  the  floating  medical 
training  center  that  is  to  operate  in  Viet- 
nam and  Indonesia  this  fall  as  part  of 
President  Eisenhower's  non-govern- 
mental People-to-People  program  of 
international  aid.  "Project  Hope" 


(Health  Opportunity  for  People  Every- 
where) is  outfitting  and  staffing  a  moth- 
balled  World  War  II  hospital  ship,  the 
USS  Consolation,  for  this  project.  The 
donated  equipment  will  be  used  in  con- 
centrated language  training  aboard  ship. 


Demonstration  Merry-Go-Round 

An  audience  of  up  to  20  people,  seat- 
ed on  a  turntable  and  rotated  to  face 
successive  demonstrations  and  exhibits, 
is  a  feature  of  the  Wilding  Communica- 
tion Idea  Center.  Changes  are  triggered 
by  an  "Automatic  Program  Control,"  a 
punched-tape  device  that  opens  and 
closes  curtains  and  turns  on  lights. 


Rapid'weld  8 

"Rapidweld"  treatment,  heretofore 
limited  to  35mm  and  16mm  film,  has 
now  been  extended  to  provide  similar 
cleaning  and  scratch  removal  service  on 
8mm  film,  according  to  Jack  Bernard, 
president  of  Rapid  Film  Technique,  Inc. 


Silver  Threads  for  Colburn 

The  George  W.  Colburn  Laboratory  is 
observing  its  25th  anniversary.  Today 
offering  complete  production  services, 
its  early  start  involved  creation  of 
machinery  to  do  such  jobs  as  35mm  to 
16mm  (and  a  little  later  to  8mm)  re- 
duction printing  and  direct  16  mm 
sound  recording.  Their  anniversary  an- 
nouncement credits  their  various  de- 
partment heads  and  foremen  with  over 
200  years  of  technical  experience. 


Polaroid  in  Color 

Dr.  Edwin  H.  Land,  president  of 
Polaroid  Corporation,  thrilled  his  re- 
cent stockholders  meeting  by  taking  a 
standard  Model  800  camera  and  flash- 
gun and  making  a  color  print  of  two 
Easter-hatted  ladies  in  the  front  row,

Students  prepare  for  language  drill 
in  this  view  of  the  Dictaphone  "electronic 
class"  in  action.  When  teacher  turns  on 
"Time-Master"  recorder-reproducer  on

lary drill  she  has  prerecorded  on  small 
plastic  "Dictabelt"  record  on  desk  direct- 
ly in  front  of  machine. 


Dr.  Land  warned,  however,  that  the 
marketing  date  "was  quite  some  time 
away  and  had  not  been  fixed."  He  re- 
ported preliminary  first  quarter  figures 
of  $20,034,000—3  gain  of  36  percent  over 
the  same  period  in  1959.

Delivers  5  Important  Features  for  Greater  Program  Effectiveness 
VICTOR-SOUNDVIEW  "PhD"  COMBINATION  FILMSTRIP-2x2  SLIDE  PROJECTOR 


1.  Sets  up  fast  for  filmstrip.  The 
"PhD"  is  foolproof.  Use  easy  push- 
down threading  to  start  the  program 
and  film  advance  lever  to  change  pic- 
tures. You  always  obtain  correct 
framing  by  means  of  a  spring  lock 
framing  mechanism. 

2.  Simplifies  film  review.  Want 
to  go  back  over  a  portion  of  the  film- 
strip  during  a  show?  The  "PhD" 
makes  it  simple  to  do  with  a  built-in 
spin-back  device. 

3.  Converts  to  slide  projector. 

You  can  switch  from  filmstrip  to 


2"  X  2"  or  bantam  slides  in  seconds 
by  using  the  heavy-duty  slide  carrier 
supplied  with  the  "PhD." 

4.  Protects  film.  You  never  have 
to  worry  about  overheated  film— or 
burned  fingers — when  you  operate  a 
"PhD."  Its  cooling  system  is  highly 
efficient.  Ceramic  edge  glass  pressure 
plates  guard  against  film  scratches. 

5.  Shows  sharpest,  brightest 
pictures.  The  "PhD"  is  a  500-watt 
projector  to  provide  the  screen  bright- 
ness you  need.  Four-element  optical 
system  and  highest  quality  5"  f:3.5 


projection  lens  assure  needle  sharp 
pictures  every  time. 


Add  sound  with  Victor-Soundview  "PB" 
Phonograph.  Single  case  houses  speaker, 
amplifier,  4-speed  phonograph  and  pro- 
jector. Complete  with  "PhD"  projector, 
$169.50.  Phonograph  alone,  only  $80.00. 


AND  BEST  OF  ALL— THE  "PhD"  COSTS  ONLY  «89.50l

INSTRUCTOR'S  MONITORING  CONSOLE 

MONITOR'S  standard  Console  gives  the  teacher  control 
of  the  laboratory  without  requiring  him  to  be  an  engineer 
or  a  switchboard  operator.  It  can  simultaneously  conduct 
five  separate  course  programs  thus  providing  a  variety 
of  teaching  materials  to  meet  individual  student  needs. 
The  console  offers  exclusive  circuitry  for  private  two-way 
communication,  individual  booth  monitoring,  program 
distribution  to  each  booth  or  by  rows  and  remote  control 
of  booth  recorders  for  mass  tape  duplication. 

STUDENT  UNIT-TYPE  I 

Type  I  features  the  MONITOR  E-3CS  patented  dual- 
channel  recorder  which  enables  students  to  listen  to  the 
master  channel  while  simultaneously  recording  their  own 
voices.  Just  two  controls  plus  an  on-off,  volume  switch 
assure  simplicity  of  operation.  Thus,  students  can  perform 
operations  by  reflex  action— and  concentrate  solely  on  the 
lesson  material. 

STUDENT  UNIT-TYPE  II 

Type  II  includes  a  tube  or  transistorized  amplifier  and  an 
activated  headset-microphone.  It  enables  each  student  to 
speak  and  listen  to  his  voice  simultaneously.  It  also  pro- 
vides for  intercommunication  between  the  student  and 
teacher.

Our  rapidly  expanding  school  population  makes  a  teacher  for 
each  student  an  idealistic  concept.  Yet,  educators  agree  there  is  an 
increasing  need  for  teaching  techniques  that  meet  the  varied 
capabilities  of  each  student. 

In  the  field  of  language  teaching,  the  MONITOR  Language 
Laboratory  System  offers  the  teacher  the  best  means  to  achieve 
this  objective.  MONITOR  today  is  the  only  language  laboratory 
standard  of  the  United  States  Government ...  the  result  of  twelve 
years  of  product  design  and  development.  MONITOR  is  the 
product  of  first  hand  experience  in  installing,  maintaining  and 
directing  hundreds  of  language  laboratories  in  5 1  countries. 

To  the  student,  MONITOR  means  more  intensive  learning  through 
repetition,  active  use  of  new  word  sounds,  and  objective  comi 
parison  of  his  own  voice  in  playback. 

To  the  teacher,  MONITOR  means  the  opportunity  to  meet 
student  needs  on  an  individual  basis.  As  an  easily  operated  and 
highly  flexible  teaching  tool,  MONITOR  adds  a  new  dimension, 
tutorial  supervision,  to  the  science  of  language  teaching.

Joint  Meetings,  More  Booths 
Announced  for  NAVA  Show 

Groups  from  the  fields  of  education, 
medicine  and  industrial  training  are 
among  six  organizations  which  have 
armounced  meetings  to  be  held  in  con- 
nection with  the  20th  annual  National 
Audio-Visual  Convention  in  Chicago, 
August  6-9,  1960.  A  total  attendance 
of  3,000  audiovisual  specialists  is 
forecast  for  this  year's  gathering. 

The  organizations  which  will  meet 
in  connection  with  the  1960  Con- 
vention, according  to  NAVA,  and  the 
dates  of  their  meetings,  are  as  fol- 
lows: AV  Workshop  for  Industrial 
Training  Directors,  August  8;  Illinois 
Audiovisual  Association,  August  6;  In- 
dustrial Audio  Visual  Association  (mid- 
western  region),  August  8;  AV  Con- 
ference of  Medical  &  Allied  Sciences, 
August  8;  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Department  of  Audio-Visual  Instruc- 
tion, National  Education  Association, 
August  6-7;  National  Audio- Visual  As- 
sociation, August  6-9. 

The  latest  products  in  audiovisual 
communications  will  be  displayed  by 
more  than  130  manufacturers  and  pro- 
ducers. This  year's  exhibit  will  feature 
a  record  number  of  new  products,  ac- 
cording to  NAVA,  including  projec- 
tors, recorders,  language  laboratory 
equipment,  projection  screens,  light 
control  equipment,  educational  TV 
equipment  and  a  variety  of  materials. 
Displays,  originally  scheduled  to  oc- 
cupy 200  booth  spaces,  will  be  ex- 
panded by  the  availability  of  an  addi- 
tional 30  exhibit  booths.  The  East 
Room  of  the  third  floor,  where  the 
Saturday  night  dance  has  customarily 


been  held,  will  be  pressed  into  service 
as  overflow  exhibit  space. 

Most  of  the  sessions  of  the  various 
groups  meeting  in  Chicago  are  open  to 
interested  users  of  audiovisual  mate- 
rials and  equipment  upon  payment  of 
a  small  registration  fee.  Information

ILLAVA  Sponsors  Forum 
At  National  AV  Meet 

Tlie  Illinois  Audiovisual  Education 
Association  has  taken  the  initiative  in 
setting  up  a  free  and  frank  forum  on 
currently  "hot"  topics  confronting 
audiovisual  professionals.  Sister  or- 
ganizations in  nearby  states  are  join- 
ing in  the  arrangements.  At  this  writ- 
ing the  DA VI  affiliates  in  Minnesota 
and  Michigan  have  indicated  co- 
sponsorship  with  Illinois.  The  pro- 
gram is  particularly  timely  in  view 
of  EFLA's  discontinuation  of  its  na- 
tional summer  meeting  to  avoid  de- 
tracting from  its  American  Film  Festi- 
val in  New  York  in  early  spring. 

Blue  Ribbon  winners  in  that  festival 
will  make  up  most  of  the  discussion 
program  at  Chicago's  Morrison  Hotel 
on  Saturday,  August  6,  starting  at 
9:30  a.m.  Sunday  is  left  open  for  at- 
tending the  audiovisual  worship  serv- 
ice and  NAVA  trade  show  exhibits. 

Starting  Monday  morning  there  will 
be  panel  and  audience-participation 
discussions  of  open  questions  such  as 
"Can  machines  teach— what,  who, 
how,  why?"— "Experience  reports  on

Saturation 

For 

Impact 


Paul  C.  Reed 


What  would  happen  if,  in  a  single  classroom,  you  were  to  pro> 
for  a  single  teacher  a  saturation  opportunity  for  the  use  of  au' 
visual  materials  and  equipment?  This  teacher  would  have  ev> 
thing  audiovisual  he  wanted  and  more  —  films,  filmstrips,  m. 
recording  equipment,  motion  picture  cameras,  and  expert  pro 
sional  assistance  in  the  use  of  all  these  things.  What  would  hap 
to  his  teaching?  What  would  happen  to  the  pupils? 

The  story  of  such  a  study  in  saturation  is  reported  at  lengtf 
this  issue  of  Educational  Screen  ir  Audiovisual  Guide.  It  s& 
particularly  appropriate  to  have  this  story  in  a  Blue  Book  it 
which  again  lists  hundreds  of  new  audiovisual  materials  relea 
during  the  past  year,  new  materials  that  most  teachers  have 
been  able  to  use  because  we  haven't  yet  found  the  way  to  overct 
the  obstacles  preventing  teachers  from  making  use  of  audiovis 
materials  and  equipment. 

Most  teachers  are  blocked  from  using  AV  materials  by  the  se 
major  obstacles  listed  in  this  "study  in  saturation."  But  the  teac 
who  participated  in  this  study  was  fortunate  enough  to  teach  i 
school  system  where  these  obstacles  had  been  overcome.  Yet 
use  of  audiovisual  materials  had  not  been  remarkable.  What  m 
was  needed?  What  would  happen  when  it  was  supplied?  Thi 
an  exciting  story  and  one  well  worth  your  attention  and  thou; 

While  reading  it,  think  about  this:  What  would  happen  if 
conditions  of  this  study  were  multiplied  by  fifty  or  a  hundr 
Suppose  that  in  one  large  high  school  somewhere,  we  could  prov 
all  the  teachers  of  that  school  with  optimum  conditions  for  us 
audiovisual  materials  and  methods?  What  equipment  would 
needed?  What  kind  of  building  facilities?  What  kind  of  speciali: 
assistance,  supervision  and  clerical  help?  What  materials?  Tl 
when  the  conditions  were  right  for  maximum  effective  use  of  auc 
visual  materials  in  the  instructional  program,  what  would  hapj 
to  teaching  and  learning! 

Surely  somewhere  there  must  be  imaginative  educators  with 
money  and  the  knowledge  and  the  ability  to  carry  on  such  an 
larged  saturation  study.  Where  are  they  and  when  will  the  sti 
get  underway?  But  wait!  One  school  isn't  enough.  This  saturat 
study  idea  should  be  expanded  to  a  whole  school  system. 

"Think  how  remarkable  it  would  be  if  there  could  be  even  ( 
school  system  in  this  country  with  a  complete  audiovisual  progr 
—even  one— where  there  could  be  an  all-out  demonstration  of  auc 
visual  methods  of  teaching.  Think  of  the  value  of  such  a  demons! 
tion!  .  .  . 

"There's  an  idea  and  a  terrific  one!  . . .  worth  the  attention 
all  to  bring  it  about.  Where  are  the  leaders  in  education  and 
audiovisual  field  who  can  take  this  eminently  practical  propc 
and  convert  it  to  reality?"" 

We  think  the  greatest  value  to  come  from  such  a  study  would 
its  convincing  force  as  a  demonstration.  Superintendents  and  otl 
leaders  would  come  from  all  parts  of  the  country  to  see  for  the 
selves.  The  demonstration  would  out-Hagerstown  Hagerstown. 
would  be  concerned  with  more  than  a  single  media  for  communi 
tion.  It  would  integrate  into  teaching  all  of  the  modem  means 
communicating  ideas,  information  and  inspiration.  It  would  prov 
a  massive  demonstration  of  all  the  conditions  and  problems  relal 
to  making  maximum  use  of  all  the  products  of  technology  ir 
modern  instructional  program. 

Such  an  extensive  saturation  study  would  have  immeasura 
impact  for  breaking  down  the  barriers  that  block  the  way  to  usi 
the  materials  and  equipment  we  now  have.

"Our  Kodak  Pageants  long  ago  proved  they  were 
easy  enough  to  operate  and  could  withstand  the  some- 
times overzealous  handling  by  young  boys.  So,  we 
have  given  our  Audio-Visual  Club  youngsters  the  re-

parts  to  fool  with.  Reel  arms,  belts,  cords  are  all 
permanently  attached.  2)  Threading  is  simple.  The 
red-arrowed  threading  path  is  printed  right  on  the 
machine.  3)  Operation  is  a  matter  of  flipping  one

Classroom  Experiment  Shows 

I 

'Saturation'  AV  Gets  Results 


by  Samuel  Cohen 


Samuel  Cohen  is  administrative  assistant  in  the 
office  of  the  superintendent  of  schools,  Union 
Free  School  District  No.  14,  Hewlett,  N.  Y.  He 
is  also  president  of  the  Long  Island  Audio  Visual 
Council,  now  marking  its  25th  anniversary  (see 
p.  320). 


A  HIS  is  the  report  of  one  study  in  "saturation." 
It  describes  the  effects  of  creating  a  particularly 
desirable  "saturation"  situation  for  audiovisual 
instruction.  This  situation  was  established  for  a 
teacher  and  his  class  in  an  excellent  school  sys- 
tem already  enjoying  the  services  of  one  of  the 
best  audiovisual  departments  in  the  nation.  The 
"saturation"  consisted  of  the  following  elements: 
( 1 )  Every  major  type  of  audiovisual  equipment 
was  placed  in  the  classroom  for  the  exclusive  use 
of  the  teacher  and  his  pupils.  (2)  Audiovisual 
and  other  instructional  materials  were  obtained 
upon  request  within  24  hours.  ( 3 )  Training  in  the 
operation  of  equipment  was  provided  upon  re- 
quest for  the  teacher  and  the  pupils.  (4)  Curricu- 
lum consultation  was  made  available  to  the 
teacher,  upon  his  request,  during  or  after  school 
hours.  This  report  contrasts  the  audiovisual  utili- 
zation during  the  saturation  period  with  that  of 
the  preceding  period  of  observation  of  regular 
classroom  functioning. 

Purpose  of  the  Study 

Research  has  proven  the  potential  value  of 
audiovisual  equipment  and  a  variety  of  instruc- 
tional materials  in  improving  the  teaching-learn- 
ing process.  Nationwide  attention  was  focused 
upon  audiovisual  instruction  during  World  War 
II  when  the  armed  forces  made  extensive  use  of 
materials  and  equipment.  Since  then  increasing 
public  notice  has  been  stimulated  by  develop- 
ments in  motion  pictures  and  television,  by  in- 
creasingly effective  work  on  the  part  of  educa-

leaders  in  the  audiovisual  field  to  have  one  of 
the  better  audiovisual  programs  in  the  nation. 
The  community  and  administration  supported  the 
program  generously,  as  evidenced  by  the  magni- 
tude of  services  offered  and  by  the  large  annual 
budget.  Supervising  the  program  was  a  profes- 
sionally trained  full  time  director  of  audiovisual 
services  with  two  full-time  assistants  in  addition 
to  secretarial  and  clerical  help. 

There  was  a  large  central  materials  library 
with  well-organized  and  smoothly-operated  sys- 
tems of  storage,  maintenance  and  distribution. 
Each  school  building  had  its  own  substantial 
materials  library  and  a  good  deal  of  equipment 
and  the  building  coordinators  were  trained  to 
administer  these  things.  Both  evaluation  and  in- 
service  programs  were  provided  and  information- 
al literature  such  as  catalogs,  bulletins,  source 
materials  and  guides  were  readily  available  to 
all  teachers  in  the  district.  Following  a  modern 
program  of  education,  the  district  achieved  ex- 
cellent academic  results.  The  elementary  school 
selected  for  the  study  had  self-contained  class- 
rooms of  some  30  students  each.  All  audiovisual 
materials  were  stored  and  distributed  in  the 
school  library,  and  there  were  50  pieces  of 
equipment  available  in  the  building. 

Design  of  the  Study 

A  male  teacher  who  was  interested  in  audio- 
visual instruction  and  in  the  proposed  study  was 
selected  from  five  sixth  grade  teachers  to  become 
the  cooperating  teacher.  The  entire  study  was 
made  in  one  classroom  with  this  teacher  and  his 
30  pupils. 

The  study  was  divided  into  two  parts.  First, 
there  was  an  observation  period  to  determine 
the  teacher's  pattern  of  utilization  of  equipment 
and  materials  with  his  class.  Following  a  short 
transition  period  at  the  close  of  the  observation 
period,  the  second  phase  of  the  study  began— 
the  saturation  period. 

During  the  saturation  period,  all  possible 
obstacles  to  the  utilization  of  audiovisual  equip- 
ment and  instructional  materials  were  removed, 
while  the  observer  again  collected  data  to  com- 
pare with  those  of  the  observation  period.  Dur- 
ing this  period  the  teacher  and  his  pupils  had 
available  in  their  classroom,  at  all  times  and  for 
their  exclusive  use,  the  following  equipment:  an 
optical-magnetic  16mm  motion  picture  projector, 
a  three-speed  phonograph,  a  tape  recorder,  a 
filmstrip-slide  projector,  a  micro-projector,  a 
lantern  slide  projector,  a  21-inch  table  model  tele- 
vision receiver,  an  AM-FM  radio,  an  opaque  pro- 
jector, an  overhead  projector,  a  shadow-box 
screen,  two  microphones,  a  complete  35mm  still 
camera  outfit  and  a  complete  16mm  motion  pic- 
ture camera  outfit,  all  brand  new  and  of  good 
quality.  In  addition,  every  effort  was  made  to 
obtain  all  requested  instructional  materials  on 
24-hour  notice  and  assistance  was  provided  in 
planning  and  executing  classroom  utilization  of 
equipment  and  production  of  materials  by  the 
teacher  and/or  his  pupils. 

Improvements  were  made  in  the  classroom's 
physical  facilities  to  encourage  use  of  the  various 
types  of  equipment  and  materials.  Operator  serv- 
ice was  provided  for  all  the  equipment  whenever 


requested  and  the  teacher,  as  well  as  students 
designated  by  him,  were  trained  in  the  operation 
of  equipment.  Curriculum  and  materials  consul- 
tation service  were  provided  whenever  the  teach- 
er desired  it. 

Two  basic  policies  were  agreed  upon  and  care- 
fully adhered  to  during  the  entire  time  of  the 
study:  the  initiative  for  the  utilization  of  all 
equipment,  materials  and  services  would  remain 
at  all  times  in  the  hands  of  the  cooperating 
teacher,  and  the  normal  class  program  and  pro- 
cedures were  to  be  followed  without  modifica- 
tion. Equipment,  materials  and  services  would  be 
used  by  the  teacher  with  his  students  only  as  he 
saw  opportunities  for  improving  the  learning 
experiences  which  had  already  been  planned,  in 
order  to  make  them  more  meaningful,  concrete, 
interesting,  efficient,  and  permanent. 

Results  of  tlie  Study 

There  were  substantial  increases  in  the  amount, 
variety  and  quality  of  utilization  of  equipment 
and  materials  during  the  saturation  period  as  had 
been  hypothesized.  Despite  the  previous  well 
developed  and  well  organized  program  in  the 
school  district  and  the  teacher's  interest  in  audio- 
visual instruction,  there  had  been  rather  hmited 
use  made  of  the  available  equipment  and  ma- 
terials during  the  observation  period. 

Equipment  utilization  increased  from  six  in- 
stances during  the  observation  period  to  53  in- 
stances during  the  saturation  period,  19  of  the 
latter  cases  occurring  in  the  absence  of  the  ob- 
server and  reported  to  him  by  the  cooperating 
teacher.  Variety  of  utilization  increased  from 
three  types  of  equipment  during  the  observation 
period  to  11  types  during  the  saturation  period. 

The  utilization  of  instructional  materials,  ex- 
clusive of  books,  increased  in  quantity  from  12 
instances  during  the  observation  period  to  108 
instances  during  the  saturation  period,  38  of  the 
latter  in  the  researcher's  absence.  Five  types  of 
materials  were  used  in  the  observation  period, 
while  17  types  were  utilized  during  the  satura- 
tion period.  These  included  class  produced  bulle- 
tin displays,  duplicated  materials,  maps,  a  film, 
posters,  slides,  table  displays  and  a  tape  record- 
ing, along  with  commercially  produced  films, 
filmstrips,  flat  picture  sets,  maps,  disk  recordings, 
posters  and  slides.  In  addition,  six  visitors  from 
other  nations  were  invited  for  specific  purposes 
in  connection  with  the  social  studies  program. 

Quality  of  utilization  improved  during  the  sat- 
uration period.  The  teacher  became  more  dis- 
cerning in  his  selection  of  materials,  and  pre- 
viewed all  materials  before  using  them  with  the 
class.  Not  only  did  his  own  ability  to  evaluate 
materials  improve  but  he  was  also  able  to  teach 
his  students  to  serve  on  evaluation  committees 
to  determine  whether  suggested  materials  should 
be  shown  to  the  class  or  merely  reported  upon 
by  the  previewing  group.  Thus  there  was  an  in- 
crease in  pupil  participation  in  and  responsibility 
for  decisions  concerning  materials  utilization. 

Pupils  were  better  prepared  for  the  materials 
which  were  to  be  used,  and  follow-up  activities 
improved  with  experience.  By  the  end  of  the 
saturation  period,  class  procedure  included  the 
use  of  equipment  and  materials  as  a  normal  and 
integral  part  of  a  lesson  rather  than  as  a  special

event  breaking  up  the  learning  pattern.  Both 
teacher  and  student  production  of  materials  im- 
proved in  appropriateness,  design,  use  of  color, 
involvement  of  the  viewer,  and  in  attention  to 
details  such  as  simple,  clear  titling  and  attractive 
lettering. 

Perhaps  most  significant  of  all,  both  teacher 
and  pupils  became  aware  of  the  qualities,  poten- 
tialities and  limitations  of  various  types  of  equip- 
ment and  materials  which  promised  to  carry  over 
beyond  the  study  and  lead  to  further  maturity  in 
utilization. 

Conclusions  of  the  Study 

Although  this  was  a  single  study  involving 
only  one  teacher  and  his  pupils,  a  number  of  con- 
clusions appeared  forcefully  from  the  data  col- 
lected. In  addition,  a  number  of  questions  were 
raised  for  which  the  data  could  provide  no 
answers  but  which  seemed  worthy  of  further 
study  to  find  the  answers. 

1.  Consultant  service  must  he  added  to  full 
availability  of  equipment  and  materials  before  a 
meaningful,  vital  program  in  audiovisual  instruc- 
tion is  possible.  Ready  access  to  equipment  and 
materials  is  necessary  for  a  good  program,  but  it 
is  not  enough  just  to  improve  quantity  of  utili- 
zation. Too  many  audiovisual  directors  find  most 
of  their  time  taken  with  purchasing,  ordering, 
training  and  supervising  the  training  of  student 
operators,  storing,  distributing,  and  supervising 
the  maintenance  and  repair  of  equipment,  pro- 
ducing catalogs,  files,  bulletins,  transparencies 
and  special  materials,  and  scheduling,  distribut- 
ing, maintaining  and  replacing  instructional  ma- 
terials. Personal  contacts  with  teachers  are  usual- 
ly concerned  with  emergency  situations  involv- 
ing mechanical  failures  rather  than  educational 
needs. 

Under  such  conditions,  quantity  and  variety  of 
utilization  can  be  increased  but  as  soon  as  qual- 
ity of  utilization  becomes  a  major  concern  the 
audiovisual  specialist  becomes  a  curriculum  con- 
sultant as  well.  He  must  work  with  each  teacher 
to  help  him  select  and  more  effectively  integrate 
and  utilize  equipment  and  materials  to  improve 
the  learning  experiences  of  the  pupils.  The  con- 
consultant  cannot  merely  tell  what  there  is  and 
how  to  get  it.  He  must  know  the  curriculum  and 
techniques  for  curriculum  improvement  as  well 
as  the  equipment  and  materials  field  if  he  is  to 
serve  teachers  properly. 

2.  The  personal  inter-relationships  of  teachers 
and  the  consultant  are  of  primary  importance  in 
determining  the  success  of  a  program.  Poor  per- 
sonal relationships  can  cancel  the  consultant's 
potential  contribution.  Mutual  confidence  and 
respect  must  be  established,  and  the  consultant 
must  convince  each  teacher  that  he  can  provide 
a  valuable  service  and  is  not  a  braggart,  nuisance 
or  a  threat  to  the  position  of  the  teacher. 

3.  A  great  deal  of  time  is  required  for  the 
utilization  of  audiovisual  equipment  and  instruc- 
tional inaterials  and  the  consequent  realization 
of  worthwhile  educational  results.  On  the  basis 
of  this  study  it  can  be  said  that  a  teacher  will 
put  more  time  and  effort  into  the  utilization  of 
materials  and  equipment  as  his  interest  in  them 
grows  and  as  he  obtains  increasingly  valuable 


results  from  their  use  in  the  classroom.  However 
further  study  is  required  concerning  the  amount 
of  a  teacher's  time  that  may  justifiably  be  de- 
voted to  the  utilization  of  equipment  and  ma- 
terials. Such  a  study  would  be  part  of  a  general 
examination  and  definition  of  the  various  de- 
mands upon  a  teacher's  time  and  of  that  amount 
of  time  that  he  may  reasonably  be  expected  to 
devote  to  his  professional  activities  during  and 
after  school  hours.  Such  research  would  of  ne- 
cessity be  made  against  a  backgroimd  of  salary 
levels  and  the  length  of  the  school  day  and  year. 
It  is  obvious  that  every  effort  must  be  made  to 
prevent  the  dissipation  of  professional  teacher 
time  in  clerical  work  or  unnecessary  red  tape 
procedures.  As  time  expended  in  audiovisual  in- 
struction becomes  more  productive  it  yields 
greater  satisfaction  which  helps  stimulate  the 
desire  to  continue  this  kind  of  work. 

4.  The  proper  utilization  of  audiovisual  equip- 
ment and  instructional  materials  can  enhance 
existing  educational  experiences  and  also  jnovide 
new  ones.  Researcher,  teacher  and  pupils  agreed 
that  the  use  of  more  and  more  varied  instruc- 
tional materials  provided  broader  and  richer 
experiences  for  the  class  and  made  the  work  more 
interesting,  meaningful  and  exciting.  The  amount 
of  pupil  reading  increased  along  with  the  in- 
crease in  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials  dur- 
ing the  saturation  period.  There  was  also  a  better 
comprehension  of  the  materials  read  due  to  the 
teacher's  developmental  reading  program  and  to 
the  stimulation  provided  by  experiences  with 
new  ideas,  materials  and  persons  during  the  sat- 
uration period. 

5.  Pupils  as  well  as  teachers  need  to  learn 
improved  utilization  of  equipment  and  materials. 
This  takes  time  and  assistance.  Individuals  must 
be  taught  to  gain  the  greatest  benefit  from  a  mo- 
tion picture  or  recording  or  television  program 
just  as  they  must  be  taught  to  distill  more  than 
the  story  line  from  a  book.  Both  types  of  skUls 
are  required  in  and  out  of  school  in  today's  world 
of  multiple-media  communication.  Investigation 
of  effective  means  of  providing  such  training  in 
our  schools  would  be  a  worthwhile  study  under 
the  National  Defense  Education  Act's  research 
program. 

6.  There  appears  to  be  more  utilization  of 
audiovisual  equipment  and.  instructional  materi- 
als and  more  production  of  materials  in  a  class- 
room where  work  is  carried  on  in  an  informal, 
flexible  manner  and  where  pupils  share  in  the 
planning,  execution  and  evaluation  of  their  work, 
as  opposed  to  a  traditional,  formal  classroom. 
Within  the  cooperating  teacher's  classroom  there 
were  contrasting  situations  to  compare.  Spelling 
and  arithmetic  were  taught  in  a  traditional  man- 
ner by  following  a  course  of  study  and  a  formal 
organization  while  science  and  social  studies 
were  taught  with  the  unit  approach,  group  plan- 
ning, committee  research  and  reporting,  pupil 
production  of  materials,  pupil  evaluation,  etc.  It 
seemed  that  the  variety  and  flexibility  in  the 
teaching  of  social  studies  and  science  allowed 
for  a  relatively  easy  introduction  and  incorpora- 
tion of  new  ideas,  materials  and  equipment 
without  the  disturbance  of  any  set  procedures. 
Most  of  the  utilization  of  equipment  and  ma- 
terials was  in  social  studies  and  science  but  there

Mr.  Cohen:  "Let's  Measure  Quality" 

"Better  methods  are  needed  for  evaluating  the  contributions  of  the 
utihzation  of  equipment  and  materials  to  the  education  of  children. 
When  quality  rather  than  quantity  is  to  be  measured,  there  is  a  lack 
of  efficient  tools,  techniques  and  procedures  for  doing  a  thorough  job. 
This  .  .  .  would  provide  us  with  the  beginning  of  educational  "quality 
control"  so  that  the  quality  of  teaching  and  learning  may  be  measured 
while  the  process  is  underway  .  .  ." 


almost  none  in  spelling  and  arithmetic,  a 
lence  that  could  not  be  accounted  for  by  the 
iter  availability  of  materials  in  the  former 
i>|t'cts  or  by  their  subject  matter. 

Once  a  teacher  endeavors,  with  the  help  of 
nsultant,  to  make  more  and  better  use  of  ma- 
ils and  equipment,  the  initial  effect  seems  to 
wealth  of  ideas  and  a  widening  of  perspec- 
at  a  rate  more  than  commensurate  with  the 
rt  expended.  As  each  idea  was  conceived  and 
cssfully  tried,  a  flood  of  new  ideas  came  to 
cooperating  teacher  and  led  directly  to  much 
•  re  use  of  equipment  and  materials.  The  results 

I  proved  regularly  and  the  teacher  then  showed 
ic  desire  to  continue  his  efforts  in  audiovisual 

st ruction.    There    was    increasing    desire    and 

iility    to   integrate   equipment    and    materials, 

piipment  and  production,  and  materials  with 

liir  class  experiences.  Later  the  teacher  began 

^ee  applications  of  his  work  to  other  classes 

kI  other  schools  in  the  system.  While  it  seems 

k(  ly    that    this    unusual    rate    of    development 

iiild  decrease  after  the  first  few  months,  it  can 

'   of  great  advantage  to  the  consultant  and  the 

at  her  while  it  is  so  high. 

s.  Children,  like  adults,  respond  to  what  they 

ntsider  to  he  special  concern  over  their  welfare. 

lianges  made  for  the  benefit  of  the  pupils  re- 

ilud  in  increased  effort  on  their  part.  A  teacher 

iK-t  be  careful,  as  the  Hawthorne  studies  of 

ts  of  changing  working  conditions  in  a  fac- 

i\   showed,  that  the  changes  made  are  really 

iipiovements  upon   the  existing  situation.   Ob- 

ixing  this  caution,  a  teacher  is  free  to  utilize 

11(1   benefit  from   the  realization  that  change, 

aiicty  and  excitement  in  the  classroom  will  re- 

i!t  in  high  pupil  interest,  effort  and  attention. 

'    Equipment  and  materials  utilization  were 

i"v/  valuable  in  this  situation  when  directly  re- 

i.'i'd  to  first-hand  experiences.  As  a  rule,  the 

II  lier  and  pupils  began  by  clearly  establishing 
II  '4oals  of  a  coming  unit  of  work.  Next,  first- 
mil  experiences  were  selected  which  seemed 
I'-t  likely  to  help  them  achieve  their  objectives. 

.  around  these  experiences  and  in  terms  of 
;ni  general  goals,  specific  purposes  were  estab- 
shed  and  the  utilization  of  various  instructional 
laterials  integrated  into  the  planning  of  activi- 
cs  for  the  unit.  Seeing  things,  meeting  people, 
iscovering  information  and  feelings  by  question- 
ig  individuals  and  getting  to  know  other  human 
eings  were  the  things  that  the  pupils  found  to 
e  the  most  valuable  bases  for  understanding  in 
unit  of  work.  Equipment  and  materials  added 
ic  further  dimensions  to  the  first-hand  experi- 
nces,   and   class   discussion   molded   all   of  the 


elements  of  the  unit  into  a  meaningful  whole. 
One  boy  clearly  expressed  this  when  he  wrote 
that  "the  visitors  were  most  important  in  our 
study  of  understanding  other  peoples,  but  I  feel 
we  would  have  gained  little  from  them  without 
the  books  and  movies  and  other  equipment." 

Questions  Raised  by  the  Study 

Important  questions  were  raised  during  the 
study  which  seem  to  have  sufficiently  important 
implications  for  the  fields  of  curriculum  and  ma- 
terials to  warrant  further  discussion. 

1.  With  how  many  teachers  can  one  consult- 
ant work  effectively?  Offering  all  of  the  services 
available  to  the  cooperating  teacher,  the  re- 
searcher on  a  full-time  basis  would  not  have 
been  able  to  work  with  more  than  two  teachers. 
It  is  important  to  ask,  "With  how  many  teachers 
can  a  consultant  work  and  still  be  a  vital  force  in 
the  professional  development  of  each?"  It  would 
be  important  to  establish  the  point  at  which  the 
number  of  teachers  becomes  so  large  that  the 
consultant  can  no  longer  work  with  individuals 
and  begins  to  function  with  groups.  Is  a  consult- 
ant more  important  and  effective  in  his  position 
when  working  with  individuals?  If  so,  might  he 
best  use  his  time  by  working  with  individuals  for 
an  initial  period  until  each  has  gained  sufficient 
knowledge  and  skill  to  require  less  concentrated 
attention,  and  then  working  with  large  groups  as 
in  workshops  or  in-service  courses?  Finally, 
should  a  consultant  work  only  with  teachers,  or 
with  teachers  and  pupils? 

2.  Would  a  reclassification  of  instructional  ma- 
terials make  teacher  utilization  easier?  The  aver- 
age teacher  must  obtain  materials  from  a  variety 
of  sources  including  the  principal's  office,  the 
library,  the  shop  or  other  special  activity  rooms, 
and  the  office  of  the  audiovisual  director.  Maps 
may  be  handled  by  the  audiovisual  director  in 
one  system,  and  in  another  by  the  assistant  prin- 
cipal who  orders  textbooks.  A  piano  may  appear 
in  the  audiovisual  budget  in  one  district,  and  in 
the  music  budget  in  another  district.  The  curricu- 
lum director  may  have  certain  materials,  guides 
and  handbooks  in  one  system,  and  the  audio- 
visual director  will  handle  the  same  ones  in 
another. 

In  either  case,  the  director  not  handling  the 
materials  often  has  no  idea  that  they  exist.  A 
common  agreement  as  to  the  point  of  demarca- 
tion between  audiovisual  materials  and  instruc- 
tional materials,  if  any,  would  greatly  strengthen 
the  professional  group.  Should  all  materials  be 
classified   under   the   Dewey   Decimal   System?

(Continued  on  next  page) 


This  is  a  controversial  question  in  many  school 
systems.  It  would  seem  that  the  best  approach 
might  be  an  attempt  to  reclassify  all  instruc- 
tional materials  from  the  point  of  view  of  the 
teacher,  that  is,  in  terms  of  the  function  of  the 
materials  rather  than  administrative  considera- 
tions. 

3.  Can  radio  ami  television  become  vital  class- 
room materials  of  instruction?  Many  educators 
see  radio  as  a  basic  teaching  medium,  and  also 
see  television  rapidly  becoming  one.  Others  in- 
sist that  neither  radio  nor  television  belongs  in 
the  classroom  due  to  difficulties  in  programming 
and  scheduling  and  excessive  cost.  Programming 
does  seem  far  from  satisfactory  and  scheduling 
provides  many  problems  indeed. 

It  would  seem  well  worth  careful  objective 
study  to  determine  whether  nursery,  adult  and 
in-service  education  via  radio  and  television, 
along  with  out-of-school  listening  and  viewing, 
are  not  better  areas  for  development  than  in- 
school  listening  and  viewing.  The  comparative 
value  of  "live"  programming  at  a  fixed  time  and 
tape-recordings  and  kinescopes  which  may  be 
used  at  the  discretion  of  the  teacher  and  pupils 
needs  thorough  study.  If  classroom  listening  and 
viewing  should  turn  out  to  have  real  merit,  much 
more  study  is  needed  before  effective  utilization 
can  take  place. 

4.  Should  audiovisual  equipment  be  rede- 
signed specifically  for  school  use?  Many  mechan- 
ical difficulties  were  encountered  with  new  equip- 
ment during  the  study,  and  considerable  time 
was  devoted  to  training  children  to  operate  the 
various  tyi>es  of  equipment  used.  Storage  and 
ready  availability  for  use  were  problems  not  easy 
to  solve  vdth  19  pieces  of  equipment  in  the  class- 
room. Some  thoughts  and  questions  presented 
themselves  concerning  the  design  of  equipment 
and  are  presented  in  the  hope  that  they  may 
stimulate  further  study,  perhaps  by  a  committee 
of  the  Department  of  Audio- Visual  Instruction  of 
the  N.E.A.  under  a  research  grant  through  the 
National  Defense  Education  Act. 

Every  individual  piece  of  equipment  should  be 
simple,  rugged  and  fool-proof.  Each  one  should 
perform  a  limited  number  of  operations  well  and 
for  a  long  time.  Controls  should  be  few,  simple, 
large,  clearly  labelled  and  color-coded.  As  many 
parts  as  possible,  including  fuses,  lamps,  carriers 
and  cartridges,  should  be  standardized  and  inter- 
changeable. Motion  picture  projectors,  for  ex- 
ample, having  too  many  different  and  difficult 
threading  and  rewinding  patterns,  are  usually 
referred  to  as  being  too  noisy  and  as  being 
frightening  to  female  teachers.  Instead  of  more 
pre-service  and  in-service  training,  is  it  unrealis- 
tic to  envision  a  projector  which  is  completely 
silent,  automatically  self-threading,  automati- 
cally self-rewinding,  containing  a  horizontally 
placed  projection  lamp  and  sealed  lifetime-lubri- 
cated bearings  in  as  compact  a  unit  as  possible, 
with  four  large  lever  or  switch  controls  on  the 
outside:  Motor,  on-oft;  Lamp,  on-off;  Volume 
and  Tone  Control;  Focusing  Control?  To  cite  one 
more  case,  is  it  necessary  for  all  buyers  of  audio- 
visual equipment  in  schools  to  jump  on  the  four- 
speed  phonograph  bandwagon?  Shouldn't  some 
grade  levels  or  departments  have  three-speed 
machines,  some  two-speed,  and  some  only  single-

iiitl  machines?  Wouldn't  this  make  possible 
onographs  which  need  less  maintenance  and 
pair  work? 

Another  possibility  is  the  production  of  a  sin- 
;  machine  to  combine  the  functions  of  a  num- 
r  of  existing  ones.  With  a  single  lens  system 
d  a  single  light  source,  a  rotating  central  unit 
ght  house  a  series  of  individual  elements: 
)tion  picture  projector,  filmstrip-slide  projec- 
■,  opaque  projector,  and  lantern  slide  projector, 
r  example.  Each  of  these  elements  could  be 
noved  for  repair  without  impairing  the  func- 
ning  of  the  rest,  and  storage  for  each  type  of 
iterial  would  be  provided  in  the  machine. 
Idition  of  drawers  below  the  projection  area 
•  turntable  and  tape  recorder  decks  with  com- 
)n  amplifiers  and  speakers  might  result  in  a 
ister  unit  capable  of  being  built  into  new  class- 
oms  in  new  buildings  and  paid  for  over  the  30 
ars  of  the  bond  issue  instead  of  from  capital 
tlay. 

School  districts  now  comprise  an  enormous 
iirket  and  are  in  a  position  to  ask  for  equipment 
signed  to  meet  their  specific  requirements, 
idiovisual  specialists,  through  their  national 
ofessional  organization,  could  make  a  contri- 
ition  by  drawing  up  national  specifications  for 
e  most-used  types  of  equipment  which,  when 
opted  by  groups  throughout  the  country, 
)uld  be  presented  to  the  manufacturers'  de- 
rtments  of  research  and  development. 

A  final  caution  remains  to  be  expressed.  Any 
oup  concerned  with  new  specifications  for 
[uipment  must  consider  the  possibilities  of  the 
actical  application  of  video  tape  to  school  use. 
coaxial  cables  can  carry  open  and  closed  cir- 
it  television  programs,  motion  pictures,  re- 
adings, flat  pictures  and  slides  from  magnetic 
pe  in  a  school's  audiovisual  center  to  flat 
reens  in  every  classroom,  we  have  exciting 
stas  opening  before  us. 

5.  How  can  techniques  of  evaluation  be  im- 
oved?  Better  methods  are  needed  for  evaluat- 
g  the  contributions  of  the  utilization  of  equip- 
ent  and  materials  to  the  education  of  children, 
'hen  quality  rather  than  quantity  is  to  be  meas- 
ed,  there  is  a  lack  of  efficient  tools,  techniques 
id  procedures  for  doing  a  thorough  job.  "This 
ould  be  another  valuable  area  for  research 
ider  the  National  Defense  Education  Act  and 
ould  provide  us  with  the  beginning  of  educa- 
3nal  "quality  control"  so  that  the  quality  of 
aching  and  learning  may  be  measured  while 
e  process  is  underway,  after  benchmarks  are 
ached,  and  after  the  entire  work  of  the  school 
completed. 

It  was  revealing  to  discover  obstacles  and 
■oblems  of  considerable  dimensions  in  a  school 
stem  with  an  excellent  department  of  audio- 
sual  services  and  with  staff  members  of  out- 
mding  ability  and  enthusiasm  for  their  work, 
is  hoped  that  others  in  the  fields  of  curriculum, 
aching  and  instructional  materials  may  share 
le  findings  and  implications  of  this  study  and 
len  contribute  to  the  further  removal  of  ob- 
acles  impairing  the  quality  of  their  audiovisual 
id  consultant  services.  Improved  services  can 
cilitatc  better  utilization  of  audiovisual  equip- 
eut  and  instructional  materials  as  teaching 
lols  to  promote  better  learning.

FILM  EVALUATIONS

Mother  Love 

(Carousel  Films  Inc.,  1501  Broad- 
way, Suite  1503,  New  York  36,  New 
York)  Produced  by  CBS  Television 
Network.  28  minutes,  16mm,  sound, 
black  and  white,  1960.  $135. 

Description 

Mother  Love  demonstrates, 
through  a  number  of  unique  experi- 
ments, that  the  single  most  impor- 
tant factor  in  an  infant's  love  for  its 
mother  is  that  of  body  contact, 
holding  and  nestling  and  that  dep- 
rivation of  this  can  cause  deep  emo- 
tional disturbances,  even  death. 

Opening  scenes  show  an  ade- 
quately-nursed and  well-cared-for 
orphan  rhesus  monkey  rolling  about 
and  pathetically  whimpering  be- 
cause the  only  companion  he  has 
knovsTi,  a  cheesecloth  pad,  is  taken 
away  from  him.  The  commentator 
says,  "Until  it  is  replaced,  this  mon- 
key will  remain  troubled  and  dis- 
tressed. Permanently  deprived  of  it, 
he  may  die  of  loneliness,  die  for 
want  of  love." 

But  what  is  love?  More  specifi- 
cally, what  is  an  infant's  love  for  its 
mother?  In  his  laboratory  at  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  Dr.  Barry 
Harlow  conducts  experiments  to 
find  the  key  to  the  bond  between 
mother  and  child  and  to  understand 
the  effects  of  denial  of  maternal 
love.  He  uses  rhesus  monkeys  as 
subjects  and  tests  their  reactions  to 
two  inanimate  substitute  mothers- 
one  made  of  wire  and  another  cov- 
ered with  cloth. 

One  experiment  demonstrates 
that  though  the  wire  mother  nurses 
the  baby,  he  spends  less  than  an 
hour  with  her  and  spends  the  rest 
of  the  time  with  the  cloth  mother. 
Other  babies  act  the  same  way. 
They  go  to  the  wdre  mother  to 
nurse  and  to  the  cloth  mother  for 
comfort. 

When  a  fear  stimulus  is  intro- 
duced in  a  cage  where  both  mothers 
are  present,  the  baby  always  turns 
to  the  cloth  mother  for  comfort  and 
reassurance.  Likewise  when  a  baby 
is  placed  in  a  strange  new  sur- 
rounding, the  presence  of  the  wire 
mother  gives  him  no  reassurance. 
He  moves  about  with  caution, 
searching  for  comfort.  As  soon  as 


the  cloth  mother  is  brought  in,  he 
runs  to  her  and  when  he  is  relaxed, 
the  fear  having  disappeared,  he 
goes  out  to  explore  the  new  world 
with  confidence. 

A  one-year-old  monkey  who  has 
been  separated  from  his  wire  and 
cloth  mothers  for  six  months  still 
remembers  his  cloth  mother.  He 
surmounts  the  barrier  and  the  fear 
stimulus  to  run  to  his  cloth  mother 
for  reassurance. 

Another  monkey,  recently  given 
a  cloth  mother  after  having  been 
deprived  of  contact  comfort  since 
birth,  has  learned  in  a  few  days  to 
go  to  her.  However,  when  given  the 
open  field  test  wherein  a  fear 
stimulus  is  introduced  into  his  cage, 
he  does  not  go  to  his  cloth  mother. 
He  just  huddles  in  a  corner  rocking 
to  and  fro  in  fear  because  he  has 
no  real  affection  for  his  cloth 
mother.  When  given  a  choice— to 
run  to  the  cloth  mother  or  away 
from  the  fear  stimulus— he  chooses 
the  latter.  Unlike  the  other  monkeys 
who  go  to  their  cloth  mother  out  of 
a  sense  of  well  being,  the  deprived 
monkey  is  interested  only  in  escape; 
he  has  not  learned  how  to  replace 
fear  with  love;  he  has  no  real  sense 
of  security. 

Other  experiments  demonstrate 
that  monkeys,  like  children,  enjoy 
playing  with  friends.  However,  in 
the  face  of  fear,  love  for  the  mother 
is  stronger  than  the  affection  be- 
tween friends. 

Dr.  Harlow  concludes  that  love 
or  its  deprivation  has  an  extremely 
important  effect  on  personality.  The 
critical  period  in  the  development 
of  an  infant  monkey  is  between  30 
and  90  days;  in  human  beings,  be- 
tween three  months  to  one  year.  If 
a  monkey  or  a  human  being  has  not 
learned  to  love  by  then,  he  may 
never  learn  to  love  at  all. 

Appraisal 

This  excellent  record  film  does 
an  outstanding  job  of  defining  and 
measuring  what  has  previously 
been  undefined  and  unmeasured— 
an  infant's  love  for  its  mother.  It 
calls  parents'  attention  to  the  im- 
portance of  physical  contact  (cud- 
dling) for  children.  Other  adult 
groups,  aside  from  parents,  would 
find  it  interesting  in  discussion  of 


the  nature  of  love  and  emotion. 

This  film  would  find  its  greate; 
use  in  university  classes  in  cow 
parative  psychology,  general  psj 
chology,  social  anthropology,  socij 
psychology  and  nursing  educatioi 

This  film  is  one  of  a  series  c 
films  distributed  by  Carousel  whic 
were  recently  presented  to  telt 
vision  audiences  as  part  of  the  CB 
Television  Conquest  series.

The  film  points  out  that  pathogeni

tor  states  that  most  can  be  see 
only  with  the  aid  of  the  electro 
microscope.  The  fact  that  virust 
have  no  independent  metabolisi 
is  given  as  a  major  difference  b( 
tween  them  and  other  types  c 
microorganisms.  Because  of  th 
they  can  grow  only  within  li\'in 
tissue  cells.  Several  types  of  viruso 
are  seen,  and  cell  destruction  b 
the  polio  virus  is  depicted  b 
means  of  slides  observing  section 
of  a  spinal  cord  before  and  afte 
virus  infection.  A  mouse  is  infectd 
by  pneumonia  virus,  and  the  result 
of  the  infection  are  portrayed  a 
the  dissected  lung  of  a  norma 
mouse  is  compared  with  the  lun 
from  an  infected  animal.  Cell  de 
struction  by  the  viruses  is  furthe 
shown  as  cultures  of  human  tissu' 
are  infected  by  adenovarus.  A  serie 
of  micro-views  shows  the  progres 
sive  destruction  of  the  human  tis 
sue. 

The  rickettsiae  are  microorgan 
isms  which  resemble  bacteria  ii 
structure.  However,  like  viruses 
they  grow  only  in  living  cells.  Thesi 
microorganisms  are  transmitted  b; 
the  bite  of  certain  insects  and  thi 
tick  which  is  pictured. 

The  protozoa  are  represented  ai 
the  lowest  form  of  animal  life.  Th( 
tremendously  diverse  form  of  th( 
protozoans  is  emphasized.  Th< 
pathogenic  varieties  which  caus( 
amoebic  dysentery  and  Africai 
sleeping  sickness  are  described.  The 
destruction  of  red  blood  cells  h\ 
the  protozoan  causing  malaria  i: 
portrayed  graphically  by  the  usf 
of  animation. 

The  film  emphasizes  that  disease; 
caused  by  pathogenic  organisms  are 
most  prevalent  in  areas  of  the  worlc 
where  people  live  in  crowded,  un- 
sanitary conditions.  Many  question* 
remain  unanswered  regarding  the 
relationship  between  microorgan- 
isms and  disease.  As  indicated  by 
the  narrator,  only  further  research 
can  reveal  the  answers  to  such 
questions. 

Appraisal 

Microorganisms  That  Cause  Dis- 
ease is  an  excellent  introduction  to 
the  five  types  of  pathogenic  micro- 
organisms. The  concept  of  disease 
and  the  destruction  of  cells  as  a 
natural  consequence  of  the  exist-

ce  of  pathogenic  microorganisms 
well  presented.  The  demonstra- 
ns  and  use  of  photocine-microg- 
5hy  to  show  destruction  of  cells 
well  done  and  should  help  stu- 
nts gain  a  more  vivid  understand- 
l  of  the  relationship  between 
croorganisms  and  disease. 

The  film  is  highly  recommended 
r  use  in  biology  and  health  class- 
on  the  junior  and  senior  high 
liool  levels.  The  biology  teacher 
Jl  find  the  film  excellent  in  in- 
)ducing  the  study  of  microorgan- 
ns.  A  health  teacher  will  find  it 
equal  assistance  in  getting  across 
e  fact  that  microorganisms  are 
ost  prevalent  under  crowded,  un- 
nitary  conditions  and  that  effec- 
/e  control,  and  thus  improved 
■alth  conditions,  can  come  about 
ily  through  persons  becoming 
•tter  educated  about  the  causes  of 
sease. 

Some  teachers  will  note  the  error 
volved  in  the  statement,  "Rickett- 
ae  are  transmitted  by  certain  bit- 
g  insects  such  as  this  tick."  (The 
ck  belongs  to  the  order  Arachnida

as  not  considered  by  the  preview- 
g  committee  to  be  of  great  signif- 
ance  in  tliis  otherwise  excellent

)escription 

Because  of  the  timeliness  of  the 
uhject  and  its  significance  to  eco- 
loinic  development  and  interna- 
ioiial  relations,  the  production  of 
ilms  about  the  St.  Lawrence  Sea- 
,va\'  was  to  be  expected.  It  is  not 
iurprising  that  some  of  the  earliest 
elt-ases  of  classroom  films  on  the 
object  are  by  EBF  and  McGraw- 
Hill-NFB.  The  first  named  film  was 
produced  in  the  United  States  and 
he  second  in  Canada. 


Both  films  are  approximately  the 
same  length,  are  available  in  color 
and  black  and  white,  contain  scenes 
made  at  the  same  time  and  place, 
and  tell  basically  the  same  story.  A 
general  outline  of  that  story  which 
applies  to  both  films  is:  (a)  the 
geographical  setting  and  economic 
need  for  the  Seaway,  (b)  the  ad- 
ministrative agreements,  specifica- 
tions, and  engineering  methods  of 
its  construction,  and  (c)  the  im>- 
mediate  and  anticipated  results  of 
the  Seaway  in  terms  of  international 
economic  development  and  coop- 
eration. 

In  spite  of  similarities  in  film 
specifications  and  basic  ideas,  the 
two  films  offer  some  interesting 
contrasts  in  cinematic  treatment. 
The  U.  S.  film  introduces  its  story 
with  the  historic  event  of  Queen 
Ehzabeth  II  of  Great  Britain  and 
Canada  arriving  in  Chicago  aboard 
the  royal  yacht  and  accompanied 
by  naval  vessels,  the  point  being 
that  the  completion  of  the  St.  Law- 
rence Seaway  made  this  feat  possi- 
ble for  the  first  time.  The  main 
body  of  the  film  is  then  presented 
in  the  form  of  a  flashback.  The 
Canadian  film  starts  with  the  prem- 
ise that  there  is  an  interrelation- 
ship between  cities,  industry  and 
water  transportation,  particularly 
because  of  the  relatively  lower  cost 
of  water  transportation.  Because 
large  ships  provide  cheaper  trans- 
portation than  small  ones,  and  be- 
cause the  expense  of  loading  cargo 
from  large  lake  steamers  to  small 
canal  boats  and  transferring  it  again 
to  ocean  streamers  could  be  avoid- 
ed by  building  a  larger  canal  along 
the  St.  Lawrence  "bottle  neck,"  the 
Seaway  was  constructed. 

In  order  to  state  the  problem  of- 
fered by  the  natural  situation  of 
falls  and  rapids  originally  existing 
between  several  of  the  Great  Lakes 
and  along  the  St.  Lawrence,  both 
films  rely  heavily  upon  materials 
prepared  by  graphic  artists.  The 
U.  S.  film  uses  a  map  (horizontal) 
of  the  Great  Lakes-St.  Lawrence 
system  on  which  figures  indicate 
the  height  above  sea  level  of  the 
various  water  bodies.  The  Canadian 
film,  on  the  other  hand,  uses  a  pro- 
file ( vertical )  to  visualize  the  prob- 
lem of  uneven  elevations.  In  show- 
ing the  procedure  for  constructing 
the  Seaway  (through  the  use  of 
cofferdams )  the  U.  S.  film  first  uses 
a  model  while  the  Canadian  film 
shows  only  the  real  thing.  The  color 
print  of  the  U.  S.  film  shows  the 
model  and  its  functions  with  more 
clarity  than  does  the  black  and 
white  print.  Similar  shots  of  dyna- 
miting are  used  in  both  films  when 


the  last  link  of  the  Seaway  is  flood- 
ed. The  Canadian  film  follows  with 
the  formal  opening  ceremony  that 
features  Queen  Elizabeth  and  Presi- 
dent Eisenhower,  while  the  U.  S. 
film  indicates  the  products  of  com- 
merce, their  magnitude  and  sig- 
nificance, before  returning  to  Chi- 
cago for  the  Queen's  address  there. 

Appraisal 

Each  film  makes  worthy  contri- 
butions to  the  recorded  knowledge 
about  the  St.  Lawrence  Seaway. 
The  EBF  film  provides  a  commen- 
tary that  is  richer  in  statistical  de- 
tail, and  it  alludes  to  concepts  that 
would  assume  a  high  school,  col- 
lege and  adult  level  of  use.  Its 
probable  use  will  be  in  courses  in 
geography,  business,  and  eco- 
nomics, including  the  overlapping 
area  of  economic  geography. 

The  McGraw-Hill-National  Film 
Board  film,  because  of  effecting  a 
greater  simplicity  and  directness  in 
its  development,  is  more  appropri- 
ate for  use  on  the  junior  high  and 
intermediate  grade  levels.  Profes- 
sional geographers  will  question 
the  Canadian  film's  selection  of  the 
Detroit-Windsor  area  as  an  example 
of  an  area  to  which  iron  ore  is 
brought  by  lake  steamer  to  be  con- 
verted into  steel  for  use  in  the  auto- 
motive area.  In  the  first  place,  very 
little  of  the  ore  traffic  on  the  Great 
Lakes  terminates  at  the  Detroit- 
Windsor  location.  Secondly,  very 
little  of  the  steel  for  automobiles 
is  manufactured  in  this  area.  Third- 
ly, Detroit,  of  all  the  major  cities 
of  the  Great  Lakes,  has  accomplish- 
ed less  in  the  improvement  of  port 
facilities  that  would  allow  it  to 
benefit  from  the  Seaway.  On  the 
other  hand,  elementary  teachers 
will  probably  welcome  the  way  in 
which  the  Canadian  film  presents 
through  animation  the  function  of 
locks.

AUDIO 


by  Max  U.  Bildersee 


Getting  Underway 

We  had  been  talking  but  a  few 
minutes  when  she  said,  rather  abrupt- 
ly, "Let  me  be  blunt,  Mr.  Bildersee. 
Audio  has  been  terribly  neglected  in 
our  schools.  How  we  get  started  with- 
out wasting  time  and  money?" 

I  wasn't  surprised  to  hear  Miss  Max- 
well speak  this  way.  I  had  known  her 
for  several  years  as  a  forward  looking 
educator  who,  recognizing  need  or 
error,  set  about  on  a  straight  line  to 
fill  the  need  or  correct  the  error. 

"You  know,  Miss  Maxwell,"  I  said, 
"we  have  several  problems  here.  First 
there  is  the  matter  of  teacher  readi- 
ness and  understanding  of  the  im- 
portance of  the  audio  aspects  of  the 
total  teaching  program.  And  after  we 
have  explored  that  and  determined  a 
reasonable  program  and  timetable, 
let's  look  at  the  twin  problems  of 
material  availability    and    equipment 


condition  and  convenience  for  use." 
"Before  we  do  enter  these  aspects 
of  discussion,"  she  said,  "let's  add  an 
important  fourth.  The  teachers  on 
my  staff  can  understand  objectives 
and  services  they  may  expect  from 
audio  materials.  And  we  can  supply 
equipment  and  records.  But  how  do 
we  keep  up  with  current  develop- 
ments? It  has  been  my  observation  that 
many  new  recordings  recently  have 
been  put  on  the  market.  And  frequent- 
ly these  are  produced  by  small,  out  of 
the  way  concerns.  In  short,  what  are 
the   sources   of    information?" 

We  started  with  the  matter  of 
teacher  readiness.  I  spent  considerable 
time  describing  the  various  ways  a 
school  system  could  organize  a  record 
fair  for  the  teachers.  I  suggested  that 
it  start  with  a  presentation  of  teaching 
objectives  served  by  sound. 

Miss  Maxwell  interrupted  to  ask, 
"Who  should  do  this?"

"You  can  do  it.  Miss  Maxwell, 
the  superintendent  can  do  it.  Tl 
higher  the  rank  of  the  individual  pr 
posing  the  ideas  and  the  board  pr 
gram,  the  better  opportunity  there 
for  success.  As  you  know,  this  caim 
be  superimposed.  It  must  be  proposi 
by  someone  who  will  be  heard,  ai 
then  adopted  by  the  staff." 

"What  general  points  do  you  belie 
should  be  emphasized  in  such  a  pr 
sentaHon?" 

"Before  we  get  to  that,"  I  inte 
posed,  "let  me  suggest  that  this  1 
presented  to  a  county-wide  or  systei 
wide  teachers'  conference  so  tliat  tl 
importance  you  attach  to  it  will  I 
accepted  by  the  staff." 

We  went  on  at  this  point  to  discu 
what  should  be  stressed  by  the  persf 
introducing  the  idea  of  expanded  u: 
of  audio  materials.  We  talked  of  tl 
importance  of  the  introduction  of 
variety  of  personalities  into  the  clas 
room.  We  explored  the  area  of  usir 
recorded  "experts"  for  instruction 
particular  areas  on  the  secondai 
level.  Miss  Maxwell  referred  to  listei 
ing  to  poetry  as  being  akin  to  listenir 
to  music,  and  then  suggested  that  tl 
"poet  reading  his  own  work"  woul 
give  an  authentic  interpretation  r 
professional  reader  could  attain. 

I  pointed  out  the  new  and  ambitioi 
program  of  producing  records  ( 
American  poets  reading  their  ow 
works  which  Yale  has  embarked  upoi 
and  pointed,  too,  to  Carl  Sandbm 
recordings  as  well  as  those  of  Edr 
St.  Vincent  Millay  and  Robert  Fros 
Miss  Maxwell  mentioned  the  serii 
of  recordings  produced  some  yea; 
ago  by  Columbia  Records  on  authoi 
reading  their  own  writings.  These,  sli 
thought,  might  well  be  included  i 
either  class  collections  or  library  co 
lections  for  circulation  to  students. 

When  Miss  Maxwell  said,  "Now,  i 
the  field  of  music  ..."  we  both  smile 
because  we  recognized  that  this  are 
coidd  well  occupy  all  of  our  attentioi 
But  she  quickly  added,  "Are  thai 
particular  recordings  we  should  en 
phasize  in  our  preliminary  demonstr; 
tion?  I  mean,  are  there  records  c 
instructional  importance  which  do  m 
necessarily  emphasize  performanct 
Are  there  records  to  help  the  chil 
understand  the  orchestra?" 

I  asked  Miss  Maxwell  if  many  c 
her  students,  even  secondary  .schoc 
students,  took  advantage  of  availabl 
concerts. 

She  said,  "No,  and  I  fear  that  is  be 
cause  they  cannot  grasp  the  inherer 
beauty  of  the  several  instruments." 

I  suggested  that  she  audit  Music  fo

recordings,  Young  Person's  Guide

my  No.  5  in  C  Minor  (CL  918)  by

ise  Leonard  Bernstein's  demonstra- 

and  orchestral  illustration  which 

ipies   one   side    of    the    recording 

:es  it  instructionally  valuable. 

'And  for  the  history  of  music,"  said 

IS  Maxwell,  "what  do  you  suggest?" 

The  History  of  Mu.iic  in  Sound,  I 

d,   "is    a    comprehensive   series    of 

umes  most  useful  for  reference  and 

monstration  purposes.  These  will  be 

icularly  useful  in  the  hands  of  a 

tive  teacher.  They  are  published, 

you  know,  by  RCA  Victor." 

But  we  must  not  lose  sight  of  our 

icdiate  problem— the  establishment 

objectives,"  I  said. 

'Oh  my  goodness,  no"  was  the  re- 

inder.  "But  I  am  not  forgetting  that. 

is  important  that  we  point  out  to 

e  teachers  that    there    is    no    self- 

intained  instructional  medium.  Each 

edium  must  remain  wholly  in   the 

ntrol  of  the  teacher.  She  must  be 

aster  of  the  situation,  not  the  ma- 

line." 

"WhoUy  agreed,"  I  said.  "Then  we 

e  discussing  these  materials  and  the 

idio  medium   in  the   same   manner 

lat  we    would    be    discussing    any 

ther  aspect  of  audiovisuals,  or  books 

r  maps  or  anything  else." 

"That's  the  point  of  view  I   want 

ly  teachers  to  understand." 

"Then,"   I   said,   "audio   adds   fun- 

amentally  essential  ear  training.  The 

hildren  must  learn  to  listen  and  to 

eparate  the  wheat  from  the  chaff  of 

poken  statements.  They  must  develop 

udio  appreciation    and    understand- 

ig" 

"Yes,  and  this  can  be  done  only  with 
iractice." 

"True.  And  the  areas  on  instruction 
n  which  sound  is  applicable  is  rapidly 
expanding.  Did  you  know  that  there 
.re  recordings  in  art  appreciation 
vhich  your  students  can  enjoy  and 
irofit  from  hearing?" 

"Tell  me  more.  I  had  assumed  that 
uch  areas  as  mathematics,  science 
;nd  art  were  so  utterly  visual  that 
here  could  be  no  records." 


"So  had  I,"  I  confessed.  "But  for 
the  elementary  school  there  is  Cabot's 
Let's  Look  at  Great  Paintings  (Cabot 
CAB  4024)  and  for  the  secondary 
school  Spoken  Arts  has  produced 
Invitation  to  Art  (763)  which  can  be 
most  useful." 

"And,  Mr.  Bildersee,  the  same  is 
true  in  science  and  mathematics?" 

"Largely,"  I  said,  "for  there  are  re- 
cordings in  these  areas,  too.  And  they 
are  available  in'  simple  arithmetic  as 
well  as  in  algebra  and  geometry  in 
the  mathematics  field.  And  in  science 
there  are  special  recordings  on  the 
science  of  sound,  for  instance,  and  in 
other  areas  as  well.  Further,  in  science, 
the  opportunity  to  present  person- 
alities exists." 

"Before  we  go  too  far  in  listing  re- 
cords and  objectives,  for  now  I  under- 
stand that  there  is  much  available, 
let's  look  at  the  other  matters  in  our 
agenda."  Miss  Maxwell  referred  to 
her  notes  and  said,  "What  do  you  rec- 
ommend about  equipment?" 

I  pointed  out  that  tliis  is  a  most 
difficult  problem  on  which  there  is 
no  real  agreement.  The  test  is  whether 
suitable  record  and  tape  players  are 
available  at  any  time  a  teacher  needs 
them,  and  whether  such  machines  are 
near  at  hand  or  distant.  "You  know," 
said  Miss  Maxwell,  "distance  lends 
enchantment  at  times,  but  not  when 
you  have  to  carry  a  machine." 

We  suggested  that  we  set  a  standard 
of  sharing  equipment  in  various 
sections  of  each  building.  Miss  Max- 
well agieed  with  my  insistence  that 
there  is  no  substitute  for  good  quality 
in  such  machines  and  that  quantity 
was  unimportant  if  quality  was 
ignored.  We  both  felt  that,  for  record 
players,  four  speed  machines  of  better 
than  average  quality  must  be  supplied. 
I  then  suggested  that  Miss  Maxwell 
investigate   such   machines   as   Audio 


Master,  N  e  w  c  o  m  b,  RCA  Victor, 
Columbia  and  Cahfone.  I  urged  her  to 
ignore  the  $29.95  bargains  as  waste. 

"Should  we  have  a  central  library 
of  records,  and  distribute  them  to  the 
schools,"  she  asked. 

"I  suggest  that  a  dispersed  library 
is  better,"  I  said.  "Each  school  should 
have  the  recordings  needed  in  that 
building,  with  the  exception  that  re- 
cordings used  very  rarely  can  be 
shared.  After  all,  you  wouldn't  share 
inexpensive  books  so  why  share  in- 
expensive records?" 

"We've  made  considerable  progress, 
Mr.  Bildersee,"  said  Miss  Maxwell. 
"First,  we  should  introduce  the  board 
idea  to  the  teachers  in  a  large  group 
rather  than  as  individuals." 

"Just  a  minute,"  I  interjected.  "No 
reason  can  be  given  for  not  introduc- 
ing this  to  teachers  individually,  except 
that  you  originally  asked  me  about 
getting  started  without  waste  of  time 
or  money.  I  am  urging  that  you  invest 
time  and  money  to  get  started." 

"Right  you  are.  A  presentation  to 
the  group  by  an  important  individual 
like  the  superintendent  or  a  represent- 
ative from  the  state  education  depart- 
ment is  a  good  beginning.  We  follow 
this  up  by  letting  the  teachers  see  and 
hear  a  variety  of  records.  Can  they 
experiment  with  them  under  classroom 
conditions?" 

"This  wiU  depend  upon  the  sources 
you  use  and  the  amount  of  time  avail- 
able. In  one  day  just  a  little  can  be 
accomplished.  But  if  each  school  is 
urged  to  purchase  a  few  records  and 
experiment  with  them,  knowledge  and 
experience  will  dictate  what  next  steps 
to  take.  And  of  course  this  leads  to  the 
point  we  mentioned  at  the  beginning 
—that  of  keeping  up-to-date." 

"Yes.  How  can  we  do  that?" 

"One  step  is  to  organize  a  com- 
mittee or  several  committees  respon-

"You  must  supply  them  with  neces-

such  materials  are  found." 
"Can  you  suggest  some?" 
"Yes,  I  can.  You  will  see  advertise- 
ments for  many  of  them.  But  im- 
mediately coming  to  mind  are  Educa-

similar  nature,  and  periodicals  such 
as  major  newspapers  and  magazines. 
In  the  latter  group  usually  metropol- 
itan Sunday  papers  and  such  maga- 
zines as  The  Atlantic  and  Saturday

specialist  journals  in  the  subject  mat-

so  forth."

Maxwell.  We  had  talked  of  many 
things,  we  had  covered  much  ground, 
but  there  was  still  much  more  to  be 
discussed.

the  broader  use  of  the  magnetic  sour 
track  on  film— on  8mm  film  as  it 
progressively  introduced  to  the  mark 

There  are  several  new  machir 
already  on  the  market— and  more 
come— offering  the  school  the  oppi 
tunity  to  make  their  own.  They  sei 
small  groups  with  sound  adequate 
speech  frequencies.  Their  school  i 
plications  will  depend  on  the  abil 
and  willingness  of  teachers  and  J 
personnel  to  take  time  to  prepare  a 
record  soundtracks  appropriate 
homemade  or  commercially  ma 
films.  There  will  probably  be  Sn 
color-sound  films  available,  but  t 
first  use  in  education  may  be  in  hoi 
and  school-made  motion  pictur

tracks  particularly  adapted  to  the  i

There  are  the  usual  problems 
magnetic  recording:  erasure,  pc 
technical  quality  indicative  of  amate 
recording,  sound  tracks  partially  c 
stroyed  and  all  the  other  ills  of  tl 
medium  including  our  inability

be  overcome  by  care  in  use  and 
technical  progress.  The  8mm  soui 
projector  can  become  a  factor  in  and; 
visual  education.  Johnny  can  read,  ai 
he  can  write  and  speak,  too.  Throu]

ILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


le  thing  we  have  always  liked 
t  filmstrips  is  their  potential  for 
idual  viewing  and  use.  We  hear 
luch  today  about  materials  de- 
>d  for  mass  education,  mass  view- 
group  discussion,  mass  impact, 
one  might  be  tempted  to  think 
ation  was  aK\a\s  a  large  group 
tion.  It  is  well  to  stop  sometimes 
■member  that  much  of  the  educa- 
il  process  depends  upon  what  the 
'idual  student  is  able  to  do  for 
by  himself;  that  small  groups  of 
ents  gain  from  the  opportunity 
;et  together  as  a  small  group  to 
,  talk  and  work;  that  even  though 
y  learning  sessions  do  take  place 
irge  or  mass  group  meetings,  they 
followed  b\'  individual  or  small 
ip  study.  It  is  for  this  reason  that 
like  to  see  individual  viewing  de- 
s  in  use  in  classrooms;  that  we 
like  to  see  two  or  three  students 
iped  about  a  table  viewer;  that  we 


like  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
the  filmstrip  is  a  good  educational 
medium  because  it  lends  itself  to  such 
activities. 

In  thinking  about  it  the  other  day 
we  did  a  bit  of  dreaming  about  what 
would  happen  if  there  were  several 
filmstrip  projectors  and  several  indivi- 
dual viewers  in  each  classroom.  Would 
students  be  permitted  to  take  up  a 
filmstrip  and  browse  through  it  as 
they  do  a  book?  (Wouldn't  it  be  won- 
derful to  hear  a  chuckle  as  the  student 
came  to  a  picture  which  pleased  him 
and  which  satisfied  some  personal 
idea  of  his  very  own,  without  having 
to  share  it  immediately  with  thirty- 
odd  other  viewers!) 

If  students  had  access  to  such  use 
of  filmstrips,  might  it  not  make  them 
willing  to  turn  to  these  picture  aids 
for  reference  and  study  and  would 
it  not  encourage  them  to  look  at  the 
visual  evidence  in  subject  areas  and 


really  see  it?  Yes,  group  study  is 
good,  but  we  wish  more  time  were 
given  to  individual  and  small  group 
study  too.  We  need  to  provide  op- 
portunity to  develop  individual  think- 
ers as  well  as  group  members  of 
society.

Series  (30  filmstrips,  color,  with  18

Our  ideas  as  to  the  way  to  study  lan- 
guages have  undergone  quite  a  change 
recently  (and  for  the  better  we  think). 
Material  such  as  this  series  makes 
it  possible  to  "move  into"  a  language 
situation,  and  use  the  language  as  we 
learn  about  it.  The  pictures  of  the 
series  were  photographed  in  Mexico 
and  the  commentary  is  in  conversa- 
tional Spanish  which  can  be  used  and 
adapted  to  increasing  facility  in  speak- 
ing skill.  Planned  in  accordance  with 
the  Pathescope-Berlitz  pattern,  this 
gives  the  student  an  opportunity  to 
hear  Spanish  spoken  at  a  conversa- 
tional rate;  it  gives  vocabulary  mate-

A  real  understanding  of  Canadian

understanding  of  the  role  Sir 
MacDonald  played  in  Canadian

agers; 

older  teens.  This  means  that  set  num- 
ber one  deals  with  the  ever-puzzling 
problems  of  how  to  get  a  date,  what 
to   do  on  a   date   and  how  to  know 
whether  or  not  it  is  love.  The  second 
set  takes   up  the  problems  of  going 
steady,  how  to  behave  on  a  date  and 
how  to  look  ahead  to  marriage.  These 
are  not  easy  problems  with  which  to 
cope,  and  guidance  counselors,  class- 
room teachers  and  group  leaders  need 
material  which  will  hold  student  inter- 
est   and    lead    them    to    think    about 
these   matters.   The  art  work  of  the 
strips  as  well  as  the  narration  of  the 
records  has  been  planned  for  young 
people  of  the  immediate  present.  This 
means    that    discussions    and    subject 
consideration  are  fitted  to  today's  situ- 
ations. They  are  intended  to  be  used 
in  discussion  sessions,  and  they  pro- 
vide material  that  should  help  teen-

V 
in  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


Summer  Time 

There  are  some  tilings  that  churches 
1  producers  and  distributors  ouglit 
do  in  summer  time.  Let's  take  them 

one  at  a  time,  and  set  down  in 
nmary  some  concerns  and  activities 

each  group: 

The  Local  Church 

1.  Now  is  the  time  for  the  local 
irch    to   make   an    inventory   of   its 

materials.  What  did  you  use  most 
past  year?  What  got  little  use? 
n  was  this  so?  Did  you  neglect 
)d  materials  on  hand?  Did  what 
u  used  a  great  deal  fit  your  program 
tter?  Was  it  a  matter  of  yoiu'  educa- 
luil  leadership  not  knowing  about 
the  materials  you  had  available 
it?  This  means  that  you  ought 
study  your  use-records  to  see  what 
ey  say. 

2.  Now  is  the  time  for  you  to  be 
nking  over  what  you  need  to  .secure 

lis  summer  in  terms  of  your  program 
nphases  next  fall  and  winter.  What 
)out  your  missionary  program,  your 
)uth  fellowship,  your  church  school, 
)nr  leadership  training  program? 
lave  you  new  materials  to  meet  the 
eeds  in  these  fields?  Why  not  go 
irough  this  Blue  Book  issue  of  Edu- 
'itioiKil  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide 
nd  check  materials  that  you  would 
kc  to  know  more  about?  Ministers, 
irectors  of  education,  church  school 
iiperintendents  and  other  leaders  may 
ave  more  time  now  than  at  any  other 
ime  of  the  year  to  study  catalogs, 
sts,  ads,  and  all  sorts  of  informational 
laterials  with  a  view  to  selecting 
materials  for  their  AV  library. 

3.  Now  is  the  time  for  you  to  get 
letter  acquainted  with  your  immedi- 
ite  source— the  nearby  AV  dealer  or 
ental  library.  Suppose  he  is  .50  miles 
iway!  Just  plan  a  day  for  going  and 
coking  over  his  materials.  If  you  can, 
jhone  him.  If  you  can't  do  that,  just 
.valk  in.  He  will  be  glad  to  see  you. 
Fell  him  of  your  needs.  This  helps 
'ijni.  Knowing  your  needs,  he  may  be 
ible  to  help  you.  This  personalized 
relationship  can  mean  better  service 
ill  year  long. 

4.  Now  is  the  time  to  use  materials 
that   you  don't   get  around  to   in   the 


busy  fall  and  winter.  Where?  In 
camps;  conferences;  in  vacation 
church  schools;  in  retreats  for  youth 
and  adults;  in  leadership  conferences 
and  schools.  It  is  easy  to  forget  audio- 
visual in  summer.  Don't  do  it. 

5.  What  about  your  equipment? 
Are  lamps  getting  gray  or  showing 
black  tops  or  bulges?  Better  plan  to 
replace  them  now.  What  about  clean- 
ing? Is  that  fan  under  your  filmstrip 
projector  full  of  lint  so  the  blades  are 
inefficient?  Better  check;  they  clog 
faster  than  you  think.  What  about  new 
equipment?  Was  usage  curtailed  last 
year  because  you  did  not  have  that 
second  filmstrip  projector?  Do  you 
need  a  table-type  filmstrip  previewer? 
It  is  a  great  convenience  and  a  time 
saver.  What  about  screens?  Got 
enough?  Got  the  right  ones?  Now  is 
the  time  to  act  on  equipment.  Many 
AV  committees  will  need  to  be  plan- 
ning their  budgets  for  the  coming  year 
and  when  they  do,  don't  overlook 
equipment. 

6.  And  on  this  matter  of  budget! 
By  and  large,  churches  get  and  pay 
for  what  they  (are  convinced)  they 
need.  Perhaps  you  need  to  do  some 
convincing  this  summer,  beginning 
with  yourself.  Half-sold,  you  won't  sell 
someone  else  very  easily.  Get  all  the 
way  sold  yourself  and  go  after  the 
money.  Look  way  ahead;  get  the  facts; 
present  them  where  they  will  influ- 
ence decision  and  action.  If  you've 
been  financing  materials  and  equip- 
ment outside  the  regular  budget,  stop 
that  and  get  it  into  the  budget. 

Local  Dealer 

1.  If  you  have  not  done  so,  read  my 
advice  to  the  local  church  and  see 
what  that  means  to  you.  It  can  mean 
much  if  you  will  see  your  side  of  the 
coin. 

2.  Now,  in  summer,  is  the  time  for 
you  to  get  better  acquainted  with  your 
customers.  Why  not  write  to  a  group 
of  churches  and  ask  them  to  send 
in  their  key  AV  person  on  a  certain 
day?  Why  not  have  a  box  lunch  for 
them?  Why  not  get  out  the  new  stuff 
and  show  it?  Better  look  at  it  yourself 
first.  You  will  do  a  better  job  of 
talking  about  it  if  you  do. 


3.  And  that  brings  me  to  point 
three:  Know  your  stuff.  Man,  you 
can't  really  serve  your  customers  until 
you  know  what's  in  those  cans!  Have 
your  booking  girl  on  hand  for  this 
viist  of  AV  people  from  the  local 
church.  Personalized  business  means 
more  business.  Don't  forget  to  be  on 
hand  yourself.  Miss  golf  that  day! 

4.  Now  is  the  time  for  you  to  take 
inventory,  not  in  the  usual  way  but 
in  terms  of  what's  'dead',  alive,  and 
jumping.  Better  think  im  ways  of  get- 
ting your  materials  out  to  your  cus- 
tomers. Tell  them  what  you  have  and 
how  they  can  get  it.  Better  find  out 
why  certain  materials  did  not  'move.' 
Did  you  put  any  pressure  back  of 
it;  follow  the  producer's  sales  advice; 
think  up  better  ideas  than  his  or  just 
let  it  slide  off  to  the  side?  Lastly,  are 
you  buying  what  your  customers 
want? 

5.  Now  is  the  time  for  you  to  lift 
your  sights  on  the  whole  church  field. 
Are  you  reading?  Do  you  know  what's 
going  on?  Do  you  get  the  denomina- 
tional curriculum  brochures  to  see 
what  the  up-coming  lessons  will  be 
about?  Do  you  ask  the  National  Coun- 
cil of  Churches  what  the  mission  study 
themes  will  be  for  the  coming  fall 
and  winter? 

6.  Now  is  the  time  for  you  to  offer 
service.  If  you  will  get  in  touch  with 
the  people  who  run  camps  and  con- 
ferences of  all  kinds  for  children  and 
youth,  you  will  find  that  they  will 
appreciate  any  help  which  you  can 
give.  Remember,  those  who  see  films 
and  filmstrips  in  conferences,  camps, 
vacation  church  schools,  will  want  to 
see  them  when  they  get  back  home. 
Spend  some  time  with  the  director  of 
the  community  service  agencies.  Find 
out  who  the  leaders  are  and  offer  them 
whatever  help  and  service  you  can 
give  in  what  they  are  trying  to  do. 
It  will  pay— both  you  and  them! 

7.  Your  total  sales  (and  income) 
will  be  related  to  your  total  informa- 
tion AV-wise.  Your  information  will 
come  from  at  least  three  sources.  The 
producer  will  take  the  initiative,  but 
you  must  respond,  and  read  what  he 
has  to  say.  It  may  be  very  important 
to  you.  Y'ou  ought  to  get  infonuation 
from  the  churches.  This  you  will  need 
to  go  after.  Better  talk  ten  minutes 
with  leaders  in  five  churches  than 
spend  a  lot  of  money  asking  questions 
that  won't  be  replied  to  on  paper. 
You  will  need  the  information  which 
this  Blue  Book  issue  can  give.  Study 
it  carefully.  You  might  want  to  check 
in  it  materials  which  you  have  and 
then  send  it  to  actual  or  potential  cus- 
tomers. 

8.  In    the   church    field    vou   can't 


EDUcATIo^AL  Screen  .4>d  Audiovisual  Guide — July,  1960

get  along  without  the  Audio  Visual 
Resource  Guide  (AVRG)  of  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Churches.  You  need 
it  as  reference.  It  is  full  of  informa- 
tion which  you  can  use.  It  will  help 
you  serve  the  churches  better  for  it 
evaluates  church-field  materials  better 
and  more  extensively  than  any  other 
document  in  existence. 

9.  Lastly,  better  check  your  lines 
of  communication.  A  highly  motivated 
church  worker  wrote  several  days  ago 
asking  how  he  could  get  information 
on  a  filmstrip  series.  In  his  city,  and 
close  by,  were  three  AV  dealers  who 
serve  churches.  How  did  they  miss 
him;  how  did  he  not  know  of  them? 
Dealers,  that's  your  problem.  Perhaps 
>  our  material  was  reaching  the  church 
but  not  being  passed  on  to  key  work- 
ers. That's  both  your  fault  and  the 
church's.  Now,  in  summer,  is  the  time 
for  you  to  rebiu'ld  your  file  of  local 
church  users  of  AV  materials.  Many 
churches  do  not  have  AV  committees 
as  yet  or  coordinators,  but  will  put 
your  information  in  the  proper  hands. 
Better  get  the  names  of  individual 
users  in  your  files  and  not  just  church- 
es. There  is  a  big  and  continuous  turn- 
over of  workers  in  the  average  church. 
Better  find  out  if  your  mailing  lists 
are  reasonably  accurate. 

The  Producer 

By  'producer'  I  refer  to  those  who 
produce  AV  materials  both  for  them- 
selves and  for  others. 

There  are  some  things  which  you, 
the  i^roducer,  can  do  in  summer,  also. 
First,  better  read  above  my  sugges- 
tions to  the  churches  and  the  local 
dealers.  There  are  implications  there 
for  you. 

1.  In  summer  you  can  get  better 
acquainted  with  the  whole  field  by 
going  where  church  and  church-AV 
people  meet.  You  need  to  know  what 
they  are  thinking.  You  can  gather  this 
from  listening  to  what  they  say.  Your 
salesmen  would  do  well  to  stop  in  on 
AV  workshops,  institutes,  courses  and 
conferences.  You  need  to  make  some 
effort  to  keep  abreast  of  what  is  going 
on. 

2.  Are  you  sure  you  know  how  to 
help  your  dealers  sell  your  products 
to  the  churches?  I  read  some  of  your 
sales  pitches.  I  know  the  local  church. 
I  know  what  motivates  local  leaders 
to  buy.  I  must  confess  that  some  of 
your  slicked-up  advice  is  pretty  thin 
soup!  Some  of  you  may  need  to  know 
the  churches  a  little  better.  They  are 
not  schools;  not  industry;  not  the  gen- 
eral public— they  are  churches,  and 
they  have  peculiarities  (for  ill  or 
good).  You  would  do  well  to  re- 
evaluate much  of  your  advice  to  local 


dealers  about  how  to  'sell'  the  local 
churches. 

3.  When  you  produce  for  yourselves 
and  when  you  produce  for  a  client 
who  looks  to  you  for  advice,  you 
should  know  more  about  this  whole 
problem  of  what  medium  for  a  given 
body  of  content.  Are  you  sure  that 
we  are  not  running  the  'sound  film- 
strip'  into  the  ground?  Do  all  film- 
strips  need  recorded  commentaries? 
I  see  filmstrips  that  would  have  made 
good  recordings.  Someone  spent  a  lot 
of  money  for  pictures  which  'said' 
nothing  or  very  little.  Again,  I  see 
filmstrips  that  don't  need  the  commen- 
tary frozen  on  a  disc  but  just  printed 
for  the  user.  Just  how  did  the  church 
field  get  topheavy  on  sound  film- 
strips— to  the  severe  neglect  of  the 
cheaper  captioned  ones  or  tho.se  with 
printed  notes  or  commentary?  While 
the  cloud  on  the  horizon  of  the 
churchfield  is  no  larger  than  a  man's 
hand,  there  may  be  a  lot  of  water-of- 
change  in  it  for  you  producers  to  con- 
sider. 

4.  In  19.57  we  called  attention  to 
the  general  economic  situation  in  the 
church  field  to  the  disgust  of  some 
of  our  readers  and  the  alarm  of  others. 
A  few  leaned  back  and  took  a  sober 
look  at  things  but  by  and  large  there 
has  been  little  or  no  improvement  in 
the  basic  economic  patterns  prevail- 
ing. Churches  ask  me  all  the  time 
where  they  can  rent  filmstrips,  for 
instance.  I  tell  them  to  buy  them. 
They  say,  "How  can  we  at  $10.00 
per?"  Now  that's  not  my  question. 
Producer,  and  dealer,  you  answer  that 
one.  I  know  that  many  churches  can 
buy;  they  just  pretend  to  be  poor. 
But  we  shall  either  convince  them  or 
not  do  business  with  them.  It's  your 
problem;    you    find    the   answer. 

5.  When  your  clients  come  they 
generally  have  their  minds  made  up 
as  to  what  medium  they  want  for 
their  material.  When  they  do  ask  for 
advice,  can  and  do  you  help  them 
think  the  problem  through  in  terms 
of  the  economic  and  utilization  factors 
prevailing  in  the  church  field?  Sup- 
pose they  do  have  the  right  AV  medi- 
um in  mind,  what  about  the  specific 
format  of  that  medium?  Can  and  do 
\'ou  advise  them  on  this  in  terms  of 
the  economic  and  utilization  realities 
prevailing  in  the  church  field?  If  you 
don't,  who  wiir?  If  you  don't,  you  and 
every  one  right  down  the  line  will  be 
affected,  perhaps  adversely.  This  ef- 
fect will  be  in  usage  volume.  In  this 
you  have  a  stake.  (Incidentally,  let 
us  all  hope  that  the  "Consultation" 
at  Boulder  next  month  will  throw 
much  light  on  our  problems  in  this 
area. ) 


6.  By  and  large  you  producers  a 
to  be  congratulated  upon  the  technic 
excellence  of  your  productions.  Y. 
have  reached  a  general  plateau 
quality  which  reflects  most  favorab 
upon  your  abilities.  You  have  set  hig 
er  and  higher  criteria  and  you  ha 
reached  them.  Across  the  board  yi 
are  notches  ahead  of  what  I  see  ov 
in  the  'school  field.'  Would  that  tot 
usage  had  increased  in  the  same  rat 
over  the  last  two  decades!  While  tl 
factors  in  this  equation  are  more  doi 
inantly  human  and  less  technologic; 
we  are  confident  that  here,  too,  sol 
advances  can  be  made  in  the  deca* 
ahead.  My  perspective  on  the  chun 
AV  field  dates  from  1924  and  thai 
much  too  long  to  permit  other  th; 
an  optimistic  outlook.

Filmstrip  Notes 


When  you  are  tr\ing  to  tell  peop' 
about  an  orphanage  in  Italy,  nothin 
beats  color  photographs,  especially 
they  have  been  carefully  and  artistii 
ally  taken.  If  you  add  a  .sen.sitive  con 
mentary,  you  get  a  visual  aid  thj 
really  speaks.  This  is  what  we  hav 
in  the  87-frame  1.3-minute,  LP  recorc 
ed  filmstrip  Children  of  the  Livin 
City  wliich  was  produced  by  th 
Methodist  Board  of  Missions  (47 
Riverside  Dr.  N.  Y.  27).  It  tells  c 
the  Casa  Materna  Orphanage  in  souti 
ern  Italy,  which  has  been  home  t 
more  than  8,000  homeless  childre 
since  it  was  founded  by  Papa  San 
fifty  years  ago.  Going  along  with  thi 
fs  is  another.  Letter  from  Franco,  4 
frames  and  7  minutes,  in  which  a 
eight-year  old  boy  of  Casa  Matem 
tells  his  friends  across  the  seas  aboi 
his  life  and  thanks  them  for  his  birtl 
day  gift.  Both  fss  plus  record  fc

the  liberal  side  of  Jewish  thought.

?'ilm  Notes 

In  all  the  regions  of  the  world, 
vherever  men  know  sickness  and 
vomen  lie  down  in  labor  and  children 
:ry  out  in  pain,  there  are  those  who 
lave  gone  forth  to  help  them.  In  the 
l3-miimte  color  film  Medical  Mission, 
ve  see  these  followers  of  the  Great 
'hysician  at  work  in  Africa  (mobile 
:linic),  in  Sarawak  (Dr.  Brewster), 
n  Nepal  (its  only  hospital)  and  in 
ndia  (eye  clinic  and  leper  rehabilita- 
ion).  While  this  film  presents  Meth- 


odist missions  it  will  be  useful  to  any 
group  which  wants  a  fine  close-up 
view  of  what  medical  missions  really 
mean  out  on  the  health  frontiers  of 
our  shrinking  world.  Recommended 
for  junior  hi  and  up.  Available  for  a 
rental  of  $10  from  all  Methodist  film 
somces  and  the  Methodist  Board  of 
Missions,  475  Riverside  Dr.,  New 
York  27. 

Produced  especially  for  juniors  and 
junior  hi  young  people,  the  15-minute 
color  film  Francisco  tells  how  a  Puerto 
Rican  boy  got  to  summer  camp  and 


what  he  did  after  he  got  there.  The 
camp's  slogan  was  "Learn  something 
new;  do  something  new."  The  hero 
of  our  little  film  did  just  that.  He 
learned  how  certain  people  of  the 
Bible  made  a  living,  and  he  learned

Yet — not  really  so  new! 

In  more  than  half  a  million  homes  "Viewmaster  "  is  a 
household  word  for  pleasure  and  learning,  for  child  or 
adult.  The  McMurry-Sowyer  FILM  DISC  differs  in  that  it 
provides  a  sequence  of  14  scenes,  all  different,  instsod  of 
the   traditional   seven   pairs   of   3-D   views. 

As  an  experimental  project  of  the  Television,  Radio  and 
Film  Commission  of  The  So. Col-Ariz.  Methodist  Church 
this  basic  material  has  been  used  over  and  over  in  a  large 
number   of    church    schools.    It   is   now   available   for   all. 

Eleven  subjects  are  now  ready.  Their  cost  averages  $2.65 
each  including  script,  study  print,  usually  two  FILMDISCS 
(28  pictures),  fitted  into  a  sturdy,  imprinted,  correspond- 
ence-size  file   folder.

come  in  the  Kit.

Classroom  TV  Troubles 

Three  RCA  engineers  have  outlined 
some  of  the  troublesome  conditions  con- 
fronting receivers  intended  for  class- 
room use.  In  a  paper  before  the  SMPTE 
they  pointed  out  that  as  compared  with 
home  receivers  the  classroom  situation 
generally  involves  (a)  more  viewers  per 
receiver,  (b)  greater  viewing  distances, 
(c)  more  ambient  illumination,  (d) 
greater  ambient  noise  and  inferior 
acoustical  treatment.  While  projection 
receivers  are  capable  of  producing  much 
larger  pictures  it  is  at  such  low  bright- 
ness level  that  room  darkening  is  re- 
quired. 

Portable  school  furniture  was  recom- 
mended so  that  up  to  40  students  may 
be  grouped  around  a  single  21-inch  or 
23-inch  receiver  within  a  maximum 
viewing  distance  of  20  feet  and  a  maxi- 
mum viewing  angle  of  90  degrees. 
Height  from  floor  should  range  from 
4%  feet  for  first  graders  to  7  feet  for 
12th-grade  or  college  classrooms.  A  mas- 
ter antenna  system  was  urged. 


Five  for  Family 

Family  Films  received  five  of  the  1960 
awards  by  the  National  Evangelical 
Film  Foundation  for  the  best  Christian 
audiovisuals.  Three  were  for  its  feature 
film  "Power  of  the  Resurrection" — for 
best  picture,  best  actor  and  best  direc- 
tion. Family's  "Teenage  Witness"  was 
judged  the  best  youth  film,  its  "Geog- 
raphy of  the  Holy  Land"  the  best  single 
films  trip. 


Victor  Animatograph's  50! 

The  Victor  Animatograph  Corpora- 
tion, now  a  division  of  Kalart,  Plain- 
ville.  Conn.,  devotes  the  current  issue  of 
its  house  organ,  "News  Reel,"  to  the 
highlights  of  its  50  years  of  service  to 
the  audiovisual  field.  Included  are  a 
dozen  photographs  of  early  Victor  mod- 
els and  a  reproduction  of  its  first  ad- 
vertisement of  a  16mm  camera  and  pro- 
jector, August  12,  1923. 


Photo  Show  Discontinued 

New  York's  annual  National  Photo- 
graphic Show,  the  biggest  consumer 
show  of  its  kind,  has  been  discontinued 
by  its  sponsor,  the  Photographic  Manu- 
facturers and  Distributors  Association. 
Wilfred  L.  Knighton,  association  secre- 
tary for  the  past  22  years,  has  resigned 
to  give  his  attention  to  his  own  enter- 
prises, among  them  the  very  successful 
and  effective  Photographic  Credit  In- 
stitute, Inc.,  which  will  continue  to  op- 
erate from  PMDA  quarters,  480  Lexing- 
ton Ave.,  New  York  17. 

In  coming  to  their  decision,  the  direc- 
tors found  that  although  the  show,  ac- 
counted for  the  major  revenues  of  the 
organization,  it  also  took  up  a  great  deal 
of  the  time  and  effort  of  the  staff.  Net 
revenues  have  declined  in  recent  years 
owing  to  mounting  costs.  Edward  A. 
Donovan,  assistant  in  the  office,  will 
carry  on  the  association's  work.  Knight- 
on's record  of  service  to  the  photo  field 
includes   secretaryship  for   some   years

MONITOR  FEATURES  .  .  . 

■  SIMPLICITY  OF  OPERATION 

■  RELIABLE  PERFORMANCE 

■  RUGGED  CONSTRUCTION 

■  FUNCTIONAL  FLEXIBILITY 

■   EXCLUSIVE,  PATENTED  DUAL-CHANNEL  DESIGN 

INSTRUCTOR'S  MONITORING  CONSOLE 

1  monitor's  standard  Console  gives  the  teacher  control 
of  the  laboratory  without  requiring  him  to  be  an  engineer 
or  a  switchboard  operator.  It  can  simultaneously  conduct 
five  separate  course  programs  thus  providing  a  variety 
of  teaching  materials  to  meet  individual  student  needs. 
The  console  offers  exclusive  circuitry  for  private  two-way 
communication,  individual  booth  monitoring,  program 
distribution  to  each  booth  or  by  rows  and  remote  control 
of  booth  recorders  for  mass  tape  duplication. 

STUDENT  UNIT-TYPE  I 

2  Type  I  features  the  MONITOR  E-3CS  patented  dual- 
channel  recorder  which  enables  students  to  listen  to  the 
master  channel  while  simultaneously  recording  their  own 
voices.  Just  two  controls  plus  an  on-off,  volume  switch 
assure  simplicity  of  operation.  Thus,  students  can  perform 
operations  by  reflex  action— and  concentrate  solely  on  the 
lesson  material. 

STUDENT  UNIT— TYPE  11 

3  Type  II  includes  a  tube  or  transistorized  amplifier  and  an 
activated  headset-microphone.  It  enables  each  student  to 
speak  and  listen  to  his  voice  simultaneously.  It  also  pro- 
vides for  intercommunication  between  the  student  and 
teacher. 

Additional  System  Oriented  MONITOR  Equipment 

MONITORET-A  simplified  version  of  the  MONITOR  E-3CS 
for  home  study  with  prerecorded  tapes  .  .  .  REMOTESTER— 
Automates  testing  by  stopping  student  tapes  during  questions 
and  restarting  them  for  recording  answers  only  .  .  .  AUDIO- 
VISUAL SYNCHRONIZER— Automatically  coordinates  vis- 
ual presentations  with  prerecorded  tapes  or  with  the  instructor's 
microphone.  •^ 


Our  rapidly  expanding  school  population  malces  a  teacher  for 
each  student  an  idealistic  concept.  Yet,  educators  agree  there  is  an 
increasing  need  for  teaching  techniques  that  meet  the  varied 
capabilities  of  each  student. 

In  the  field  of  language  teaching,  the  MONITOR  Language 
Laboratory  System  offers  the  teacher  the  best  means  to  achieve 
this  objective.  MONITOR  today  is  the  only  language  laboratory 
standard  of  the  United  States  Government ...  the  result  of  twelve 
years  of  product  design  and  development.  MONITOR  is  the 
product  of  first  hand  experience  in  installing,  maintaining  and 
directing  hundreds  of  language  laboratories  in  51  countries. 

To  the  student,  MONITOR  means  more  intensive  learning  through 
repetition,  active  use  of  new  word  sounds,  and  objective  com- 
parison of  his  own  voice  in  playback. 

To  the  teacher,  MONITOR  means  the  opportunity  to  meet 
student  needs  on  an  individual  basis.  As  an  easily  operated  and 
highly  flexible  teaching  tool,  MONITOR  adds  a  new  dimension, 
tutorial  supervision,  to  the  science  of  language  teaching.

your  school .  .  .

DON'T  \A^ORRY, 

HE  >VON'T  GET  IT  OUTI 


To  remove  a  LEVOLOR  bottom  rail  clip,  one  must 
know  how.  No  amount  of  yanking  and  pulling  on  the 
tape  can  get  them  out.  But  to  the  maintenance  man 
who  knows  how,  it  is  as  simple  as  A.  B.  C. 


Information  that  insures  the  best  installation  pos- 
sible is  a  service  all  LEVOLOR  representatives  will 
give  you.  They  will  submit  a  prospectus  covering' 
every  detail  of  your  Venetian  Blind  installation-help 
with  the  specifications  and  make  a  final  inspection  ■ 
after  the  blinds  are  installed.  It  is  a  service  that  guar- 
antees good  specifications  and  good  Venetian  Blinds.

Convention  Keynote  Theme: 
"The  Challenge  of  the  60's" 

The  1960  National  Audio-Visual 
Convention  in  Chicago  August  6-9  is 
expected  to  draw  an  attendance  of 
3,000  audiovisual  specialists  from  the 
fields  of  education,  religion,  industry 
and  business,  according  to  Harvey  W. 
Marks,   general  convention  chairman. 

A  few  of  the  highlights: 

Keynoting  the  first  general  session 
will  be  a  visual  presentation  entitled 
"The  Challenge  of  the  Sixties,"  pre- 
pared and  presented  by  James  W. 
Hulfish,  Jr.,  NAVA  Director  of  In- 
formation. The  presentation  will  cover 
the  development  of  the  aduiovisual 
industry  to  its  present  stature  as  well 
as  a  review  of  current  trends  and  fu- 
ture prospects. 

"Meet  the  Challenge!"  is  the  title 
of  an  address  to  be  made  by  Dr.  G. 
Herbert  True,  nationally  famous  writ- 
er, psychologist  and  lecturer.  The  ad- 
dress will  cover  ways  AV  people  may 
today  gird  themselves  to  meet  the  dra-

He's  learning  ...if  the  classroom 
audio-visual  equipment  is  de- 
signed, as  only  Bell  &  Howell

full  benefits  of  teaching  with 
audio-visuals  can  be  achieved 
only  through  built-in  features

An 
Open 
Mind, 
Man! 


You  can't  be  for  or  against  a  hammer.  You  can't  be  in  favor  of  a  saw 
or  not  in  favor  of  it.  These  are  tools,  man!  These  are  tools  for  doing 
a  job.  The  only  legitimate  questions  you  can  ask  about  a  hammer 
are  those  related  to  its  use.  Can  you  use  it  to  do  the  job  that  has  to 
be  done?  Who  should  use  it?  How  can  he  learn  to  use  it  better? 
How  can  you  make  a  better  hammer?  One  that's  easier  to  use  or 
one  that  will  work  better?  Can  you  use  it  more  effectively  if  you 
use  it  in  combination  with  other  tools? 

It's  the  same  thing  with  equipment  and  developments  in  the 
audiovisual  field,  man.  These  are  tools  and  ideas  for  doing  a  job. 
How  can  you  be  for  or  against  such  communications  tools  as  a  pro- 
jector, a  tape  recorder,  a  television  receiver.  They're  tools.  You  can't 
be  for  or  against  them.  The  only  legitimate  questions  are  those  re- 
lated to  what  you  use  these  tools  for  and  how  you  can  use  them  to 
accomplish  the  most. 

With  brand  new  tools  or  improvements  on  the  old  ones,  you've 
got  to  keep  an  open  mind,  and  use  your  imagination.  That's  hard  to 
do,  man.  It's  much  easier  to  say  "the  way  we're  doing  it  already  is 
better."  "We  tried  it  once  and  it  doesn't  work."  "It's  too  small,  too 
big,  too  complicated,  too  something  else." 

Take  8mm  sound  on  film,  fcjr  instance.  Here's  a  new  communica- 
tions tool.  A  real  audiovisual  challenge  for  the  Si.\ties.  What  arc 
people  saying  about  it?  What  do  you  think?  Have  you  seen  and 
heard  it?  Is  the  picture  too  small?  For  what  group?  Where?  What 
about  the  sound?  Are  the  educational  film  producers  going  to  make 
8mm  sound  films  available?  Do  you  know  what  the  35mm  advocates 
said  about  16  back  in  the  Twenties?  How  are  you  going  to  find 
your  answers?  Or  is  your  mind  already  made  up! 

But  8  mm  sound  film  is  just  one  of  the  new  developments  pro- 
viding audiovisual  challenge  for  the  Sixties.  There  are  learning  ma- 
chines, called  "teaching  machines"  if  you  prefer.  New  and  improved 
and  varied  adaptations  of  recording  and  language  laboratory  equip- 
ment. There  is  the  challenge  of  the  video  tape  recorder.  Various 
combinations  of  multiple  purpose  equipment  in  single  units  for 
more  efficient  operation.  Systems  approaches  to  instructional  prob- 
lems. 

All  of  these  new  tools  and  new  ideas  have  got  to  be  faced  with 
an  open  mind  if  we  are  going  to  even  begin  to  meet  the  challenge 
of  the  Sixties.  Not  only  the  new  equipment  ideas  already  here  and 
PmiI  C  Resd  ""  display  at  the  1960  NAVA  exhibit,  but  the  increasing  number  of 
new  developments  that  will  be  on  display  each  succeeding  year 
of  the  Sixties. 

NAVA  time  in  the  summer  time  at  Chicago  is  an  exciting  time. 
It's  a  challenging  time.  Especially  in  1960.  It's  a  time  for  exposing 
new  products  and  expounding  new  ideas.  It's  a  time  for  open  minds 
and  for  imaginations  to  soar,  man! 

Advance  annoimcements  have  promised  the  greatest  opportunities 
ever  at  the  1960  National  Audiovisual  Convention  and  Exhibit  for 
everyone  in  the  audiovisual  field.  A  wide  variety  of  meetings,  the 
most  and  most  interesting  exhibits,  and  the  best  time  for  every- 
one. We  hope  we'll  be  seeing  you  there. 


406  Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — August,  1960 


At  the  new  Kaibab  Elementary  School,  Scottsdale,  Arizona,  selected  by  A.A.S.A.  for  its 
exhibit  of  outstanding  school  designs,  Mr.  Marvin  Osborn,  Audio-Visual  Director  says: 


"In  operation  75%  of  the  school  day,  these  Kodak 
Pageant  Projectors  just  keep  running... without  fail! 


»» 


"Once-a-year  checkups  seem  to  be  all  they  need  to 
keep  them  operating  the  way  we  like,  with  no  break- 
downs, no  disruptions  of  classroom  order. 

"Projection  Club,  6th,  7th  and  8th  grade  students 
handle  showings.  They  catch  on  fast  to  the  Pageant's 
simple  operation." 

Stresses  on  audio-visual  equipment  are  extraordi- 
nary, even  in  normal  use.  Constant  usage,  hard  usage, 
and  usage  by  many  different  people  mean  that  pro- 
jection equipment  must  be  built  specifically  for  Audio- 


Visual  work,  if  it  is  to  endure. 

That's  the  way  we  have  constructed  Kodak  Pageant 
Projectors.  First,  to  be  sturdy  . . .  with  quality  sound 
and  screen  image  for  all  types  of  A-V  usage.  Then,  to 
be  simply  operated  . . .  even  by  children.  Finally,  to 
be  easily  maintained  . . .  with  only  occasional  checkup. 

Kodak  Pageant  Projectors  are  sold  through  Kodak 
Audio-Visual  dealers,  who  will  demonstrate  at  your 
convenience.  Or,  you  can  write  for  Bulletin  V3-22:  no 
obligation,  of  course.

"...The  Challenge  of  the  Sixties" 


►y  W.  G.  "Bill"  Kirtley 
resident 
ifational  Audio-Visual  Association 


Pause  a  moment.  Think  back  over  the  dramatic 
hanges  which  have  taken  place  in  the  AV  world 
uring  the  past  ten  years.  You  will  begin  to  ap- 
ireciate  the  scope  of  the  challenge  before  us,  this 
Challenge  of  the  Sixties."  It  is  inevitable  that  by 
970  we  will  have  progressed  as  far  beyond  1960 
s  we  have  today  passed  beyond  the  AV  industry 
f  19.50.  In  fact,  this  progress  is  certain  to  be 
luch  greater  because  it  is  constantly  acceler- 
ting.  The  prospect  propels  the  imagination! 
Yet,  because  our  youthful  industry,  strongly 
nsing  its  own  impending  accomplishment,  has 
mained  steeped  in  today  while  keeping  a 
teady  eye  on  tomorrow— because  we  have  been 
ghtly  concerned  with  the  past  recognizing  that 
ur  ultimate  promise  of  maturity  rests  with  the 
uture— perhaps  we  are  not  fullv  aware  of  just 
ow  far  we  have  come  in  a  brief  decade.  Break- 
iroughs  are  rarely  recognized  as  such  at  the 
me  they  occur.  Only  in  retrospect  does  their  full 
ignificance  dawn.  Therefore,  in  anticipating  the 
)romise  of  the  Sixties,  it  is  appropriate  to  recall 
ome  of  the  advancements  which  set  apart  the 
Fabulous  Fifties"  as  a  crucial  decade  in  AV  his- 
orv. 


For  instance,  ten  years  ago  filmstrip  sales  in 
the  United  States  were,  comparatively  speaking, 
neghgible.  Few  then  could  possibly  have  imag- 
ined the  extent  to  which  they  would  be  used  by 
1960.  But  the  development  of  filmstrip  projectors 
which  were  simpler,  easier  to  use,  and  less  expen- 
sive made  the  use  of  filmstrips  as  an  instructional 
aid  vastly  more  desirable.  In  addition  the  devel- 
opment of  the  fully  automatic  filmstrip  projector, 
and  later  the  sound  slide  film  projector,  contrib- 
uted heavily  to  the  market  expansion  of  this  item. 
Today  filmstrips  are  among  the  most  frequently 
sought  of  audiovisual  aids. 

When  the  Fifties  began,  the  opaque  projector 
was  in  limited  use.  Not  until  the  light  output 
was  greately  increased  did  interest  begin  to  ap- 
proach today's  proportions.  Now  the  opaque  pro- 
jector is  an  A\'  staple. 

Introduced  during  the  period  were  16mm  film 
projectors  with  magnetic  sound.  With  this  signifi- 
cant advance  it  became  easier  for  the  talented, 
creative  instructor  to  produce  his  own  sound  mo- 
tion pictures  tailored  to  his  special  needs.  Local 
production  took  a  giant  stride  forward. 

Coinciding  with  the  automation  of  filmstrip 
projection  came  similar  advancements  in  slide 
and  transparency  units.  An  outgrowth  of  the  fully 
automatic  slide  projector  and  the  synchronized 
sound  slide  projector  Wiis  the  repetitive  projector 
with  its  enormous  implications  for  creating  AV 
markets  in  sales  and  merchandising.  The  role  of

the  slide  projector  expanded  to  include  the  ex- 
hibit hall,  display  window,  and  showroom  floor 
in  addition  to  the  lecture  room. 

Another  now-familiar  audiovisual  item  which 
really  came  into  its  own  only  during  the  past  de- 
cade is  the  overhead  projector.  Of  minor  im- 
portance before  1950,  the  overhead's  special  char- 
acteristics—use of  overlays,  ability  to  work  right 
on  the  projected  transparency— were  finally  dis- 
covered by  alert  AV  users.  Making  their  contribu- 
tion to  full  acceptance  of  the  overhead  were  a 
variety  of  new  transparency-making  devices  and 
systems,  simplifying  local  materials  production 
and  lowering  costs.  Today,  overheads  are  right- 
fully in  great  demand  and  sales  of  local  produc- 
tion equipment  and  materials  are  steadily  grow- 
ing. 

AV  advances  were  not  restricted  to  visuals.  Re- 
markable improvements  were  made  in  the  fidel- 
ity of  record  and  transcription  players,  so  much 
so,  actually,  that  the  description  "high  fidelity" 
lost  all  meaning  in  defining  sound  quality.  Stere- 
ophonic sound  became  a  major  feature  of  both 
record  players  and  tajje  recorders  lending  great- 
er flexibility  to  aural  presentations  of  all  kinds. 
Today  recorded  soimds  may  be  reproduced  with 
the  full  brilliance  of  the  original  source. 

But  product  development  is  only  half  the  story. 
Industry  progress  results  from  a  combination  of 
product  development  and  market  acceptance. 
For  without  a  fundamental  change  in  the  view- 
point of  AV  users  and  potential  users,  it  would 
have  been  impossible  to  have  realized  gains 
made  during  the  Fifties.  Take  three  relatively 
recent  AV  entries  as  an  illustration: 

In  1950,  if  you  broached  the  subject  of  educa- 
tional TV  your  listener  probably  suggested  that 
you  "come  back  down  to  earth."  At  a  reference  to 
language  laboratories  he  would  pronounce,  with 
little  fear  of  contradiction,  "impractical."  And  if 
)0u  were  caught  musing  about  teaching  ma- 
chines,   your  eavesdropper   would    likely   have 


w<;ndcred  what  you  planned  to  teach  them.  In 
fairness,  it  must  be  admitted  that  these  items- 
educational  TV,  language  labs,  teaching  ma- 
chines—were largely  unfamiliar  within  our  own 
industry  ten  years  ago.  It  is  not  surprising  that 
to  "the  man  in  the  street"  they  were  just  so  mucli 
gobbledygook.  But  today  he  is  informed  and  en- 
thusiastic. 

What  about  AV  and  "the  man  in  the  street?"  A 
scant  decade  ago  he  would  have  declared  him- 
self of  the  opinion  that  audiovisuals  were  gim- 
micks, that  their  chief  value  was  in  their  novelty. 
However  unjust  such  a  conviction  may  have  been 
then  is  irrelevant,  because  today  even  our  "man 
in  the  street"  is  becoming  convinced  of  the  value 
of  AV  aids.  He  is  beginning  to  demand  audio- 
visuals  for  his  schools,  is  impressed  with  the  bet- 
ter education  they  make  possible  for  his  children. 
He  is  personally  growing  acquainted  with  audio- 
visuals  through  their  extensive  use  at  his  church, 
appreciates  the  way  they  have  contributed  to 
his  own  religious  understanding.  Finally,  he  is 
obtaining  audiovisual  equipment  to  help  him  in 
his  own  business,  and  can  point  to  cold  statistics 
to  prove  that  they  are  improving  sale  and  cutting 
training  costs. 

In  short,  the  audiovisual  industry  began  to 
come  of  age  in  the  Fifties.  It  improved  its  prod- 
ucts, coupling  this  advance  with  an  upgrading 
of  its  services,  and  the  market  responded  with 
soaring  interest.  In  the  wake  of  this,  spectacular 
things  began  to  happen. 

General  school  construction  began  to  include 
provision  for  audiovisual  instructional  materials 
and  equipment.  Architects  began  to  reappraise 
school  design  with  AV  utilization  in  mind,  and 
this  in  turn  was  in  response  to  a  new  demand  by 
school  administrators  for  these  AV  facilities.  Col- 
leges of  education  greatly  increased  their  pro- 
grams to  train  teachers  in  the  use  of  audiovisual 
aids.  Congress  appropriated  funds  for  AV  pur- 
chases. With,  perhaps,  less  fanfare,  correspond- 
ing increases  in  AV  interest  began  to  take  place 
among  religious  and  industrial  users. 

Most  significant  of  all  is  the  fact  that  the  young 
people  of  today  are  being  constantly  exposed  to 
audiovisuals  in  their  schools  and  at  their  church- 
es. If  we  do  our  job  right,  they  will  grow  into 
adults  pre-sold  on  the  value  of  audiovisuals  to 
communication. 

In  the  final  year  of  the  Fifties  an  estimated 
$287  million  was  spent  for  AV  products— easily 
twice  the  amount  spent  in  1950.  In  a  single  dec- 
ade our  industry  had  doubled!  Yet  some  respon- 
sible business  leaders  have  predicted  that  the 
industry  will  double  again  in  the  next  two  years. 
Who  then  would  be  so  bold  as  to  hazard  a  fore- 
cast of  the  AV  picture  for  1970? 

"The  Challenge  of  the  Sixties"  is  the  many 
new  things  it  will  bring,  the  varied  problems 
which  will  arise  and  be  overcome,  the  new 
friends  AV  will  win.  The  future  will  see  mate- 
rials of  every  type,  more  readily  available  to 
more  people,  on  every  subject  under  the  sun. 
Equipment  will  be  more  streamlined,  simpler  to 
operate,  easier  to  transport,  and  a  cinch  to  serv- 
ice. There  are  many  promising  areas  of  advance- 
ment. But  most  exciting  of  all  is  the  certainty 
that  by  1970  we  will  be  using  wonderful,  yet  un- 
dreamed of  audiovisuals.

"...a  bridge  linking  AV  user  and  maker" 


by  Verne  Stockman 
President 

Illinois  Audiovisual  Education  Associa- 
tion 


Although  a  newcomer  among  the  professional 
groups  meeting  at  Chicago  this  year,  the  Audio- 
visual Education  Forum  really  has  a  substantial 
background  as  well  as  a  unique  and  important 
role.  It  represents  in  one  sense  a  revival  of  the 
Midwest  Forum  on  Audiovisual  Education  which 
approximately  twenty  years  ago  served  as  a  ve- 
hicle for  close  cooperation  between  the  then 
users  of  AV  materials  and  techniques  and  the 
commercial  and  manufacturing  people  who  de- 
veloped those  materials  and  stimulated  their  use. 

The  need  for  this  close  relationship  is  at  least 
as  great  today,  and  though  it  is  fostered  on  the 
national  level  by  DAVI,  there  remains  a  need 
for  educational  emphasis  at  the  annual  Chicago 
audiovisual  complex,  along  with  that  on  industry, 
agriculture,  medical  and  allied  sciences,  religion 
and  kindred  applications  of  the  medium. 

In  past  years  the  meetings  of  the  Educational 
Film  Library  Association  provided  this  educa- 
tional facet  to  a  considerable  degree,  but  since 
EFLA's  discontinuance  of  its  Chicago  summer 
meeting  a  need  exists  for  some  other  organized 
means  to  assure  this  interchange  of  thought  and 
experience  between  AV-using  schoolmen  and  the 
industry  that  serves  them. 

The  NAVA  exhibits  represent  an  educational 
opportunity  unequalled  anywhere  in  the  world 
for  any  AV  professional  to  update  his  knowledge 
of  the  technological  and  ideological  advance  in 
his  chosen  field  and  of  the  lines  along  which 
progress  is  to  be  anticipated.  To  end  this  oppor- 
tunity would  represent  an  irreparable  loss. 

Another  compelling  reason  why  the  Illinois 
Audiovisual  Education  Association  considers 
preservation  of  this  contact  imperative  is  audio- 
visual's  own  "expanding  universe"  of  new  tech- 
niques and  resources,  new  recognition  and  re- 
sponsibilities, and  new  questions— with  some  an- 
swers supposedly  found  and  many  admittedly 
still  to  be  sought.  Productive  as  are  our  profes- 
sional national,  state  and  local  gatherings  they 
tend  to  cover  so  much  territory,  and  generally 
in  so  impressively  an  organized  manner,  that 
there  is  too  little  chance  or  inclination  for  free 
and  frank  informal  nonconformism. 

At  Chicago  last  year  the  Illinois  Audiovisual 
Education  Association  joined  with  the  Chicago 
Film  Council  in  sponsoring  an  11th  hour  tradi- 
tional EFLA-type  film  screening  program.  The 
response  was  such  that  our  annual  fall  meeting 
authorized  an  expansion  of  this  participation.  In 
response  to  spontaneous  encouragement  from  AV 
workers  in  nearby  states  our  spring  meeting 
voted  to  invite  co-sponsorship  from  DAVI  affili- 


ates in  adjoining  states.  At  this  writing  accept- 
ances have  been  received  from  Minnesota  and 
Michigan  and  others  will  likely  be  added. 

We  are  all  thinking  about  these  new  chal- 
lenges, new  techniques,  new  devices  and  mate- 
rials. We  need  a  chance  to  compare,  contradict, 
collate.  This  Audiovisual  Education  Forum  rep- 
resents such  a  chance.  If  it  works  out  as  we  hope 
it  should  become  an  annual  event  to  which  all 
dedicated  workers  in  this  field,  whether  in 
school,  commerce,  industry,  government,  science 
or  civic  affairs  will  look  forward,  a  place  where 
they  will  bring  their  ideas  and  experiences,  theii" 
hopes  and  their  misgivings,  to  meet  with  and  on 
occasion  clash  with  those  of  their  peers. 

The  subjects  suggested  for  discussion  are  de- 
signedly those  on  which  the  last  word  has  not 
yet  been  spoken.  A  discussion  technique  is  pro- 
posed that  is  a  departure  from  customary  "pres- 
entation" procedure  (panelled  or  unpanelled). 
Instead  a  procedure  is  suggested  that  might  be 
described  as  a  "Great  Books"  graft  on  the  Town 
Meeting  tree,  with  an  added  touch  of  the  film 
critique  format  of  the  UFPA.  The  "program" 
consists  largely  of  a  list  of  discussion  topics.  Time 
permitting,  others  may  be  added  from  the  floor. 
Two  spokesmen  are  to  be  designated  for  each 
topic,  pro  and  con,  a  missionary  and  a  gadfly. 
They,  plus  a  moderator,  will  fence  the  topic's 
field  and  outline  their  idea  of  groimd  rules. 
Those  desiring  to  speak  will  make  this  known 
in  advance  in  order  to  allot  time  to  advantage, 
but  with  a  generous  provision,  we  hope,  for  re- 
buttal and  hindsight. 

Ours  is  a  three-day  program.  Saturday  will  be 
given  over  largely  to  critical  screening  of  new 
materials.  Here,  too,  pro  and  con  evaluators  will 
be  designated  in  the  manner  UFPA  has  found 
so  rewarding— and  exciting.  Sunday  allows  for  an 
AV  worship  service  and  all  afternoon  at  the  ex- 
hibits. Monday  is  "town  meeting"  day,  with  time 
out  for  further  exhibit  viewing  if  the  group  so 
decides,  and  in  any  event  a  report-back  session 
on  this  year's  exhibits  for  discussion  on  what  is, 
will  be  and  perhaps  ought  to  be. 

Because  this  is  a  new  approach  we  have  no 
way  of  knowing  our  personnel  resources  in  ad- 
vance of  the  meeting.  So  any  reader  who  plans 
to  be  in  Chicago  August  6-8  and  wants  to  attend 
is  urged  to  drop  a  note  right  away  to  one  of  our 
co-chairmen,  Bill  Kruse,  Educational  Screen  and 
Audiovisual  Guide,  2052  N.  Lincoln  Park  West, 
Chicago  14,  Illinois.  (Reynolds  Hungerford,  Chi- 
cago Public  Schools,  is  the  other).  Besides  our 
excellent  Illinois  and  Chicago  local  talent,  the 
nationally  prominent  AV  pros  heard  from  to  date 
include  Lee  Cochran,  Neville  Pearson,  Ford 
Lemmler,  Phil  Lewis,  Ralph  Creer,  James  Eoula, 
L.  D.  Miller,  Charles  Miller,  John  Hedges,  Rob- 
ert C.  Snider,  Mickey  Bloodworth,  Robert  A. 
Bauman,  James  Fitzwater,  Herb  Jackman,  Paul 
C.  Reed,  Seerley  Reid  and  Paul  VVendt.  A  lively 
and  productive  time  is  in  prospect.

"• . .  Steady  growth  of  AV  programs" 


by  Kathryn  Linden 
Chairman,  AV  Conference  of 
Medical  and  Allied  Sciences 


The  Audiovisual  Conference  of  Medical  and 
Allied  Sciences,  held  annually  under  auspices  of 
NAVA,  was  organized  in  1953  to  further  audio- 
visual education  in  these  areas  and  to  keep  the 
member  organizations  informed  of  new  develop- 
ments. Toward  this  end,  annual  meetings  are 
held  which  feature  an  exchange  of  information 
among  the  members,  and  workshops  on  signal 
advances  in  the  field. 

The  results  of  these  annual  meetings  have  been 
electrifying.  Progress  reports  by  one  organization 
have  frequently  led  to  similar  experiments  in 
other  professions.  The  free  exchange  of  ideas, 
and  the  open  discussion  of  mutual  problems  have 
proven  both  helpful  and  stimulating.  It  may  be 
said  that,  over  the  years,  the  annual  reports  have 
reflected  a  steady  growth  of  the  AV  programs  in 
all  the  sciences  represented. 

Special  workshops  of  the  conference  have  dealt 
with  national  and  international  distribution  prob- 
lems, methods  of  film  evaluation  and  film  pro- 
gramming, utilization  of  the  various  AV  media, 
bottlenecks  and  how  these  can  be  broken,  educa- 
tional television,  planning  and  production  of  pro- 
fessional films,  principles  in  education. 

Prominent  guest  speakers  have  come  from  uni- 


versities and  industry.  They  have  included  edu- 
cators and  psychologists,  film  producers  and  po- 
tential sponsors.  Among  them  have  been  Richard 
S.  Angell  of  the  Library  of  Congress;  L.  C.  Lar- 
sen,  director  of  the  Audio- Visual  Center,  Indiana 
University;  Glenn  E.  Mills,  director  of  visual  edu- 
cation at  the  University  of  Colorado  School  of 
Medicine;  Dr.  Robert  C.  Snider,  director  of  the 
AV  Center  of  the  University  of  Chicago;  Peter 
Hickman,  former  director  of  the  Smith  Kline  & 
French  medical  library;  and  Warren  Sturgis  of 
Sturgis-Grant  Film  Productions.  Last  but  not 
least,  special  sessions  of  the  conference  have  been 
presented  by  its  members. 

In  response  to  repeated  requests  from  pro- 
ducers and  AV  directors  of  other  organizations, 
the  afternoon  sessions  of  the  conference  have 
been  opened  to  the  public  since  1959.  This  year 
the  workshops  will  explore  the  2-way  theme  of 
cooperation.  Dorothy  Stock,  Ph.D.,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  psychology  at  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago, will  speak  on  Principles  in  Group  Dy- 
namics. Allen  K.  Heydrich,  director  of  education 
and  training  at  the  Link-Belt  Company,  Chicago, 
and  a  frequent  speaker  for  the  American  Man- 
agement Association,  will  discuss  Meetin<i.s  That 
Bring  Results.  In  closing,  there  will  be  a  panel 
presentation  on  Winning  Cooperation,  in  which 
the  following  will  take  part:  Dr.  J.  Edwin  Foster, 
director  of  AV  education,  American  Heart  As- 
sociation; Herbert  Jackman.  director.  Bureau  of

The  AV  activity  of  conference  members  is  re- 
flected in  highlights  from  their  reports.  The 
American  Medical  Association,  American  College 
of  Surgeons,  and  American  Hospital  Association 
co-sponsored  with  Johnson  &  Johnson  production 
of  such  films  as  Hospital  Sepsis  which  won  a 
1960  American  Film  Festival  Award  (Churchill- 
Wexler  Film  Productions. )  The  American  Nurses' 
Association— National  League  for  Nursing  co- 
sponsored  with  the  Smith  Kline  &  French  mental 
health  education  unit  the  film  Psycliiatric  Nurs- 
ing, a  1959  Academy  Award  nominee  and  winner 
of  the  Chris  Award  (Dynamic  Films). 

With  the  increasing  use  of  educational  films 


in  the  medical  and  allied  sciences,  distributior 
has  in  some  instances  reached  remarkable  pro- 
portions. The  American  Medical  Association,  foi 
example,  reports  over  6,000  bookings  a  year,  anc 
both  the  AMA  and  the  nursing  organization; 
have  shown  annually  a  600-booking  increase  ovei 
previous  years.  The  American  Dental  Associa- 
tion, with  over  3,000  bookings  a  year,  reported  ar 
increase  of  21  percent  in  their  distribution  foi 
1959. 

Films  have  been  used  also  at  convention  filir 
programs.  The  Ainerican  College  of  Surgeons  foi 
years  has  conducted  cine-clinics  in  which  sur- 
geons discuss  their  filmed  operations.  The  A.VIj^ 
runs  3  theaters  concurrently  during  their  conven- 
tions. Ralph  Creer,  AMA  director  of  medical  mo 
tion  pictures  and  television,  has  been  invited  h 
plan  and  conduct  international  medical  film  pro 
grams  in  Europe  and  Asia.  The  American  Nurses 
Association  and  National  League  for  Nursing 
conduct  theme  filin  sessions  throughout  theii 
conventions,  with  an  average  attendance  of  S0( 
to  1,000— and  as  high  as  1,500— at  film  forums. 

Increasing  AV  activities  have  been  evident  ir 
the  programs  of  other  members  of  the  conference 
also,  which  include  representatives  from  tht 
national  associations  of  veterinary  medicine 
podiatry,  colleges  of  pharmacy,  dental  schools 
osteopaths,  anatomists  and  bacteriologists. 

Membership  in  the  A\'  Conference  is  open  tc 
national  non-profit  and  non-governmental  associ- 
ations or  groups  devoting  resources  to  AV  mate- 
rials and  programming  in  the  medical  and  allied 
fields.  Two  representatives  from  each  participa- 
ting organization  are  invited  to  the  annual  con- 
ference. As  mentioned  earlier,  the  afternoon  ses- 
sions beginning  at  2  p.m.  are  open  to  the  public 

Officers  of  the  1960  Conference  are  Kathryn 
Linden,  director,  American  Nurses'  Association 
and  National  League  for  Nursing  Film  Service,

>y  Eliot  L.  Hirsch 

Secretary 

Illinois  Training  Directors'  Assn. 

Throughout  the  years,  personnel  in  industrial 
training  and  personnel  in  the  audiovisual  field 
have  had  much  in  common.  One  group  is  ever 
dependent  on  the  other  and  both  have  the  same 
objective:  to  supply  the  best  possible  training  to 
our  fast-moving  industry  where  yesterday's  ideas 
become  realities  today  and  obsolete  tomorrow. 

Without  practical   and   effective  training,   in- 

lustry   would   find    it   necessary   to   shorten   its 

stride.  Without  the  versatility  and  wide  range  of 

audiovisuals,  training  would  be  long,  dull  and 

ineffectual. 

Illinois  Training  Directors'  Association  is  privi- 
leged to  be  part  of  NAVA's  annual  convention. 
For  the  past  five  years,  our  annual  Audiovisual 
Workshop  has  offered  our  members  and  friends 
an  opportunity  to  exchange  ideas  with  the  AV 
people.  It  has  been  the  means  whereby  the  train- 
ing man  can  see  everything  that's  new  and  im- 
portant in  the  AV  field.  This,  our  sixth  annual 
workshop,  again  offers  these  same  advantages. 

Each  year  our  workshop  has  drawn  AV  people 
as  well  as  training  people.  Here  the  AV  man  can 
get  a  better  understanding  of  how  training  peo- 
ple use  their  products;  what  they  think  of  their 
products;  and,  perhaps,  what  additional  AV 
needs  they  have. 

Again,  this  year,  I.T.D.A.  extends  a  cordial  in- 
vitation   to   everyone— training   and   AV  people 


alike— to  attend  our  AV  Workshop  on  Monday, 
August  8,  1960,  9:00  a.m.  to  12:15  p.m.,  in  the 
Venetian  Room,  2nd  Floor,  Morrison  Hotel. 

This  year's  workshop  theme  is  "Making  Your 
A-V  I.Q.  Pay  Off."  A  panel  of  I.T.D.A.  members 
will  present  a  most  different  type  of  workshop, 
with  emphasis  on  "What  We  Must  Know  before 
We  Select  An  Audiovisual." 

This  often-neglected  phase  of  program  plan- 
ning will  be  dramatically  presented  through:  (1) 
examples  and  demonstrations  of  new,  exciting 
audiovisuals  and  some  of  the  old  standbys;  (2) 
the  "producing"  of  a  short  program  during  the 
workshop  hours;  (3)  presentation  of  a  training 
program  currently  in  use  by  a  member's  com- 
pany. 

Illinois  Training  Directors'  Association  is  affili- 
ated with  the  American  Society  of  Training  Di- 
rectors. Established  in  1943,  I.T.D.A.  has  a  mem- 
bership of  more  than  200,  mostly  from  the  metro- 
politan Chicago  area. 

The  purpose  of  I.T.D.A.  is  to  advance  the  pro- 
fession of  education  and  training  in  industry  and 
commerce.  In  striving  for  this  objective,  provi- 
sion is  made  for  the  professional  development  of 
its  members  through  the  discussion  of  mutual 
training  problems,  the  interchange  of  experi- 
ences, ideas  and  methods,  and  the  general  stimu- 
lation of  interest  in  sound  education  and  training. 

Anyone  with  an  interest  in  training  is  most 
welcome  to  additional  information  about  the  as- 
sociation. Write  I.T.D.A.  membership  chairman

"...AV  media 
permit  these  ideas 

to  be  seen 
as  well  as  heard" 


by  Chas.  N.  Shaw 
Director,  Central  Region 
Industrial  Audio-Visual  Association 


Modern  business  is  becoming  more  and  more 
complex  and  urgency  is  the  order  of  the  day. 
There  is  increasing  need  for  quicker  and  more 
accurate  means  of  getting  information  from  head- 
quarters to  the  field  and  of  presenting  programs 
and  promotions  to  buyers.  Audiovisual  media 
permit  these  ideas  to  be  seen  as  well  as  heard, 
allowing  more  accurate  and  longer  retention  of 
information. 

The  development  and  use  of  audiovisuals  is 
growing  at  a  rate  comparable  to  that  of  elec- 
tronics and  plastics.  We  of  the  Industrial  Audio- 
Visual  Association  can  be  proud  of  the  part  au- 
diovisuals have  already  played  in  our  respective 
companies;  however  we  have  only  scratched  the 
surface,  as  there  are  still  many  phases  or  depart- 
ments of  most  businesses  that  have  not  yet  taken 
advantage  of  these  modern  tools  of  communica- 
tion. 

As  brought  out  in  our  constitution:  "The  pur- 
pose of  the  Industrial  Audio-Visual  Association 
shall  be  to  study  all  means  of  audio  and  visual 
communication,  including  creation,  production, 
appreciation,  use  and  distribution;  to  promote 
better  standards  and  equipment  and  to  establish 
a  high  concept  of  ethics  in  the  relations  of,  our 
members  with  associated  interests."

We  Must  Educate  for 
Survival  of  Democracy 


by  Maj.  Gen.  J.  B.  Medaris,  USA  (Ret.) 

Chairman  of  the  Board 

Electronic  Teaching  Laboratories,  Inc. 


The  history  of  man  is  that  of  infinite  struggle- 
struggle  against  poverty  and  disease  and  disaster. 
Long  ago,  perhaps  in  even  those  unrecorded  days 
of  primitive  existence,  man  began  to  discern  that 
ignorance  is  the  root  of  his  troubles.  Man  then 
surely  concluded  that  his  ultimate  survival  de- 
pended upon  his  ability  to  acquire  and  transmit 
knowledge,  that  this  was  the  challenge  of  his 
time. 

Ignorance  is  still  our  fundamental  challenge, 
and  1  would  guess  it  to  be  the  challenge  of  our 
kind  in  the  years  2060  or  9060.  Ignorance  is  elu- 
sive. Knowledge  is  not  stable.  The  child  born  to- 
morrow will  be  as  ignorant  as  dirt  and  the  sum 
of  mankind's  knowledge  is  meaningless  unless  it 
is  transmitted  to  the  child. 

But  aside  from  the  generalities  of  the  need  for 
learning,  I  believe  that  the  American  of  I960  has 
a  unique  challenge  in  education,  a  challenge 
posed  by  the  prospect  of  world  Communism. 

As  participants  in  a  democracy  we  demand 
certain  freedoms  of  individual  thought  and  ac- 
tion and  association.  We  count  these  freedoms 
holy,  and  we  have  defended  them  with  human 
sacrifice.  We  are  prepared  to  continue  the  de- 
fense of  these  freedoms.  However,  one  of  the  by- 
products of  our  demand  for  freedom  is  a  mecha- 
nism of  government  which  cannot  function  with- 
out our  will.  This  is  right  and  proper,  and  only 
in  circumstances  of  extreme  threat  have  we  will- 
ingly suspended  our  individual  freedoms  so  that 
our  government  might  function  without  our  im- 
mediate consent. 

There  is  a  very  practical  limit  to  which  the 
individual  can  contribute  to  the  processes  of 
democratic  government:  he  can  vote;  he  cannot 
administer.  Thus  his  single  vote  must  be  an 
intelligent,  knowledgeable  vote.  That  vote  must 
include  some  understanding  of  the  principles  of 
good  government  and  some  evaluation  of  a  can- 
didate's ability  to  administer  good  government. 
It  is  an  awesome  responsibility  for  a  single  vote 
to  bear,  but  it  is  an  inescapable  one  if  we  are  to 


retahi  individual  freedom.  By  voting,  we  simply 
decide  who  will  decide  for  us. 

In  the  past  few  years  we  have  become  dis- 
turbed by  the  economic  and  technological  growth 
of  the  Communist  world.  Their  growth  is  cleanly 
planned  and  executed,  uncluttered  by  indecisive 
policy.  Our  government  appears  to  be  flounder- 
ing, and  about  the  only  thing  on  which  all 
Americans  agree  is  that  something  radical  must 
be  done  before  Communist  successes  reduce  us 
to  an  enfeebled  power  in  world  affairs. 

What  can  be  done?  Several  things,  I  believe; 
but  first,  let  us  consider  whether  or  not  our  gov- 
ernment actually  is  floundering.  To  begin  with, 
we  are  following  precisely  the  same  principles 
I  of  action  that  we  have  followed  since  1776.  We 
have  not  substantially  changed  in  that  respect. 
We  elect  intelligent  and  informed  men  to  office 
and  they  execute  our  desires.  We  are  rich  and 
healthy  and  insulated,  at  least  temporarily, 
against  the  probability  of  destruction  by  an  ag- 
gressor. Our  cup  runneth  over,  to  the  benefit  of 
millions  of  destitute  people  all  over  the  world. 

But  something  has  changed,  and  that  some- 
thing is  the  formulation  of  a  Communistic  proc- 
ess of  government  and  the  demonstration  of  that 
government's  effectiveness  in  mapping  a  plan  of 
action  and  proceeding  to  its  fulfillment,  unen- 
cumbered by  demands  of  individual  freedoms. 
This  does  not  mean  that  a  Communist  govern- 
ment is  either  immune  or  indifferent  to  public 
opinion.  On  the  contrary,  having  usurped  the  will 
of  the  people  in  gaining  power,  the  Communist 
government  thus  has  in  its  control  those  means 
by  which  public  opinion  can  be  shaped  to  appro- 
bate the  very  policies  of  government.  The  Com- 
munist government  can  give  the  peasant  bread 
and  convince  him  that  he  is  eating  cake. 

Further,  the  Commimist  government  can  im- 
pose all  manner  of  sacrifices  on  the  individual  in 
the  name  of  diverting  national  energies  and  re- 
sources to  "the  race  with  capitalism."  It  is  folly 
to  underestimate  the  impact  on  the  individual

Communist  of  Soviet  accomplishments  in  tech- 
lology.  What  can  the  individual  Communist  con- 
■lude  from  U.  S.  failures  and  Soviet  successes  in 
he  space  field  except  that  his  leaders  were  right 
ill  along— that  capitalism  is  innately  ineffective 
uid  democracy  is  decaying?  It  does  not  matter 
hat  this  is  one  small  area  in  the  vast  field  of 
icience,  and  that  the  Soviet  Union  is  far  behind 
n  many  other  areas  of  science.  The  point  is  that 
his  is  an  example  of  what  Soviet  government 
L-an  do  when  it  makes  up  its  mind  to  do  it. 

Against  this  backdrop  of  fanatical  dedication  to 
mmediate,  radical  action,  our  own  processes  of 
Jecision-making  and  execution  appear  belabored 
md  untimely.  We  are  changed  simply  by  con- 
trast. We  are  doing  business  as  usual,  but  "as 
usual"  is  no  longer  good  enough. 

Clearly,  we  must  acquire  the  capability  to  de- 
Fine  national  aims  and  to  pursue  those  aims  with 
the  same  enthusiastic  dedication  that  our  com- 
petitors are  enjoying. 

How?  The  easiest  way  would  be  to  strengthen 
the  powers  of  our  own  government,  to  surrender 
ii  measure  of  our  individual  freedoms  so  that  o)ir 
i^overmnent  could  decide  what  is  best  for  us 
v\ith()ut  fear  of  being  thrown  out  of  office.  This 
would  relieve  the  individual  of  much  of  the  re- 
sponsibility of  intelligent  choice  of  leadership, 
uid  assure  him  of  positive,  dynamic  government. 
It  would  not  guarantee  him  that  he  would  like 
what  his  government  did,  or  that  he  could  re- 
trieve his  right  to  disagree  once  he  had  surrend- 
ered that  right. 

The  other  choice  is  more  difficult.  If  we  refuse 
to  part  with  those  individual  liberties  and  at  the 
same  time  demand  more  decisive  and  dynamic 
leadership  from  our  government,  we  must  be 
prepared  to  fulfill  the  responsibility  that  is  thus 
entailed.  In  other  words,  the  burden  of  providing 
more  effective  government  lies  with  the  individ- 
ual. It  means  that  he  cannot  be  ignorant  of  na- 


tional and  international  affairs.  It  means  that  he 
must  develop  some  higher  loyalty  to  national 
interest  that  is  not  purely  a  reflection  of  his  own 
economic,  religious,  or  ethnic  interests.  It  also 
means  that  his  interest  in  government  must  not 
be  something  that  is  only  evinced  every  four 
years.  It  means  that  his  vote  in  a  national  elec- 
tion must  be  a  decision  based  on  real  knowledge 
of  the  issues  involved,  and  that  his  vote,  once 
cast,  is  not  carte  blanche  consent  that  will  not 
be  questioned  for  the  next  four  years. 

To  be  realistic,  I  must  admit  to  some  misgiv- 
ing that  we  will  ever  be  able  to  maintain  sub- 
stantial national  concern  over  the  full  breadth 
of  national  and  international  affairs.  It  is  simply 
not  the  nature  of  most  of  us  to  be  philosophically 
concerned  with  abstractions.  We  are  concerned 
about  the  space  race  only  when  we  are  behind. 
We  are  concerned  about  economic  trends  only 
when  they  have  caught  up  with  us.  We  fear  war 
only  when  we  see  the  possibility  of  it.  We  live 
with  the  immediate. 

However,  the  more  knowledge  an  individual 
has  the  more  inclined  is  he  to  look  behind  and 
beyond  the  immediate— to  seek  causes  for  politi- 
cal and  economic  defect  and  to  attempt  to  pre- 
vent their  recurrence  in  the  course  of  tomorrow's 
events.  One  can  therefore  conclude  that  the 
creation  of  a  more  knowledgeable  electorate 
would  result  in  the  creation  of  a  more  responsible 
and  effective  electorate.  I  believe  this  to  be  the 
peculiar  challenge  of  the  Sixties:  How  can  we 
educate  for  the  survival  of  democracy? 

If  knowledge  were  stable  this  challenge  would 
be  easier  met;  it  is  not.  The  generation  of  knowl- 
edge is  not  geared  to  a  timetable.  The  sheer  bulk 
of  learning  which  tomorrow's  child  will  have  to 
absorb  is  in  itself  staggering,  all  because  of  the 
explosive  growth  of  modern  science  and  tech- 
nology. 

Even  the  arts  are  not  immune  to  change.  In 
the  field  of  languages,  for  example,  there  is  an 
unprecedented  demand  for  people  who  are  not 
linguistically  crippled  by  knowledge  of  only 
their  native  tongues.  It  is  often  said  that  the 
world  is  shrinking  under  the  impact  of  transpor- 
tation technology.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  re- 
sult of  the  shrinkage  will  be  more  intelligible 
communication  among  peoples  and  not  merely 
the  movement  of  pig  iron  to  Japan  and  fireworks 
to  North  Africa. 

Thus,  the  educator  of  the  Sixties  has  a  dual 
burden.  On  the  one  hand  he  is  recjuired  to  teach 
more  to  the  child,  and  on  the  other  he  is  expect- 
ed to  do  it  in  less  time  in  the  name  of  national 
urgency.  What  is  the  answer  to  this  paradox? 

I  submit  that  the  answer  to  this  problem  is  the 
increased  application  of  technology  to  the  teach- 
ing process. 

Because  we  have  progressively  more  to  teach, 
because  we  have  progressively  more  children  to 
be  taught,  and  because  our  survival  depends  up- 
on a  knowledgeable  citizenry,  it  is  imperative 
that  professional  educators  make  maximum  use 
of  those  techniques  which  technology  is  offering. 

As  long  as  ignorance  is  our  fundamental  chal- 
lenge, we  cannot  afford  anything  less  than  ob- 
jective consideration  of  any  means  by  which 
ignorance  can  be  overcome.

Closed-Circuit  Conference 


by  Wm.  F.  Kruse 

A  nationwide  conference  on  prospects  and 
practices  of  closed-circuit  television  for  instruc- 
tional purposes  was  held  June  19-22  in  Evanston, 
Illinois.  All  but  the  opening  and  closing  sessions 
were  held  in  giant  Evanston  Township  High 
School  where,  under  direction  of  Miss  Wanda 
Mitchell,  an  extensive  foundation-supported 
CCTV  program  has  been  in  operation  for  several 
years. 

The  National  Education  Association's  Division 
of  Audiovisual  Instructional  Services  sponsored 
the  conference;  150  invitations  were  issued,  ap- 
proximately 135  accepted,  some  85  attended,  all 
professionallv  interested  in  this  specific  segment 
of  the  AV  field. 

Lee  A.  Campion,  NEA's  consultant  on  ETV 
matters,  explained  informally  that  this  type  of 
conference  was  precisely  what  was  needed  to 
serve  the  special  interests  of  the  educator-spe- 
cialists who  now  work  in  a  sort  of  professional 
"no  man's  land"  midway  between  DAVI  and 
NAEB  (Department  of  Audiovisual  Instruction; 
National  Association  of  Educational  Broadcast- 
ers). They  are  closer  to  DAVI,  he  felt,  because 
most  CCTV  programming  has  classroom  instruc- 
tion as  its  end.  But  while  NAEB  primary  interest 
is  in  mass  communication  its  technical  practices 
and  resources  are  very  similar  to  those  of  the 
CCTV  specialist. 

The  conference  program  was  very  well  plan- 
ned. Three  groups  rotated  in  three  sections— on 
Program  Origination,  Production  and  Distribu- 
tion respectively— with  each  participant  getting 
a  full  session  in  each  of  the  sections.  The  prelimi- 
nary program  had  also  called  for  a  section  on 
"receiving"  CCTV. 

An  effort  was  made  to  form  homogeneous  in- 
terest groups.  Thus  there  was  one  comprised 
mainly  of  college  and  university  people,  the  sec- 
ond predominantly  participants  from  secondary 
schools  and  city  systems,  and  the  third  most 
everyone  else. 

The  general  opening  dinner  session  was  ad- 
dressed by  Lloyd  Michael,  superintendent  of  the 
host  high  school;  another  evening  session  fea- 
tured William  Brish,  county  school  superintend- 
ent at  Hagerstown,  Maryland,  on  "'Four  Years  of 
Experimentation  in  CCTV."  Afternoon  general 
sessions  were  conducted  by  Miss  Mitchell  and 
by  Dr.  Sherman  Swarthout  and  John  R.  Manley. 
The  closing  general  session,  conducted  by  Lee 
Campion  and  Neal  Balanoff,  chairman  of  the  TV- 
Radio-Film  department,  Stephens  College,  sum- 
marized some  of  the  findings  and  gave  everyone 
a  final  chance  to  talk. 

At  another  general  session  six  representatives 
of  the  AV-TV  industry  presented  a  joint  program 
on  equipment  resources  and  prospects.  Alan  Fin- 
stad  (Dage)  was  moderator;  William  Sadler 
(Miratel),  Glenn  Hoxie  (Ampex),  Louie  Lewis 


(RCA),  Dan  Meadows  ( Sarks-Tarzian )  and 
Lloyd  Matter  (Dage)  each  presented  a  specific 
phase  of  technology  and  economics. 

It  was  noteworthy  that  the  questions  raised 
were  not  so  much  on  technology  as  on  profes- 
sional status,  philosophy  and  utilization.  They 
boiled  down  to  just  four  major  concerns :  ( I )  rel- 
ative "status"  between  the  CCTV  production 
specialist  and  the  TV  teacher;  (2)  just  how  mucli 
production  "quality"  should  be  required  in  intra- 
school  program  production  and  transmission;  (3) 
should  the  modern  school  aim  at  giving  the  stud- 
ent his  "entire"  education  via  TV;  and  (4)  how 
to  condition  the  classroom  teacher  to  accept  and 
where  designated,  effectively  help  create  CCTV 
programs.  These  four  questions  were  found  tc 
be  interrelated.  Status  differentials  and  quality- 
tolerance  may  be  viewed  as  facets  of  the  "con- 
tent versus  communication"  controversy.  Food 
for  the  mind,  as  for  the  body,  should  first  of  all 
be  nutritious,  but  lots  of  good  vittles  have  beer 
known  to  be  ruined  by  bad  cooks  and  sloppy 
service. 

There  was  quite  a  contrast  between  a  coloi 
slide  presentation  of  the  CCT\'  facilities  and 
staff  at  Penn  State  and  those  actually  demon- 
strated at  Evanston  High,  where  one  studeni 
crew  sets  up  the  studio  and  an  entirely  different 
one,  unrehearsed,  shoots  the  program.  Undei 
such  an  arrangement  considerable  unevenness  ir 
end  result  is  inevitable.  In  one  case  a  "live"  pro- 
gram (stage  make-up  for  male  actors)  camt 
through  as  smoothly  finished  as  anything  on  the 
networks,  but  another,  through  faulty  lighting  oi 
training  or  both,  had  the  poor  librarian-teachei 
painfully  blinking  into  the  lights  in  a  way  thai 
must  have  detracted  from  the  material  she  soughl 
to  present. 

There  was  room  for  improvement  also  in  the 
presenting  of  visuals— printed  matter  too  small  t( 
be  read,  violation  of  the  4x3  dimension  ratio  anc 
of  contrast  range  for  projected  visuals,  and  still; 
covering  so  little  of  the  screen  that  they  became 
the  picture  of  a  picture  rather  than  a  presenta- 
tion of  action  or  situation  described.  Nor  were 
the  'pros'  free  e)f  these  faults  in  their  demonstra 
tions,  indicating  a  need  for  upgrading  of  CCT\ 
technical  ceimmunication  skills  on  all  levels. 

One  of  the  speakers  defined  CCTV  as  "a  mean; 
of  transmitting  an  image  for  a  purpose."  Undei 
the  conditions  in  which  it  operates,  the  Evanstor 
High  School  production  staff  is  doing  a  com 
mendable  job  that,  in  the  main,  achieves  its  pur 
pose.  Allowing  for  some  rationalizing  in  the 
snubbing  of  network  "spit  and  polish,"  there  wa; 
fairly  general  agreement  that  a  school's  owr 
CCTV  production  quality  ought  to  be  at  leas- 
adequate  to  hold  students'  attention  and  to  pu- 
across  its  lessem  effectively. 

Technical  guidance  literature  such  as  put  ou 
by  Hagerstown,  Stephens  College  and  other  cen 
ters  was  in  lively  demand.  A  series  of  N.E.T 
films  on  production  techniques,  distributed  b)

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — August,  196t 


Indiana  University,  was  recommended.  The  Elec- 
tronics Industry  Association  reportedly  will  dis- 
tribute 20,000  copies  of  a  new  book  on  ETV 
fundamentals  authored  by  Philip  Lewis,  director 
of  instructional  materials  for  the  Chicago  public 
schools  (also  technical  director  of  Educational 
Screen  and  Audiovistial  Guide). 

There  was  interesting  discussion  on  the  role  of 

visuals"  in  educational  TV.  One  production  con- 
sultant stated  his  preference  for  holding  a  dy- 
namic TV  teacher  on  camera  full  face  by  the 
hour  rather  than   bring  in  a  lot   of  distracting 

visuals."  Miss  Mitchell  and  Mr.  Balanoff,  on  the 
other  hand,  stressed  the  use  of  good  visuals. 

There  was  no  support  for  the  idea  that  TV 
could  or  should  attempt  the  whole  job  of  the 
student's  instruction,  much  less  his  education. 
Cooperation  in  an  atmosphere  of  mutual  respect 
was  the  accepted  answer  to  teacher-producer  re- 
lations; as  teachers  increase  their  familiarity  with 
the  medium  and  its  techniques  they  are  expected 
to   take  a   more  active  positive   interest   in   TV 


teaching  and  to  improve  their  contributions  to 
its  results. 

In  his  keynote  address,  superintendent  Michael 
stressed  the  need  for  greater  investment  in  "tools 
of  instruction."  He  did  not  expect  CCTV  to  save 
money,  but  did  look  to  it  for  "better  quality  edu- 
cation." It  would  re-deploy  and  re-orientate 
teachers  but  not  replace  them.  This  was  not,  in 
his  opinion,  a  panacea  to  overcome  all  present 
classroom  problems  but,  with  television  tape 
making  possible  the  storage  of  "superlative" 
teaching,  TV  should  make  a  substantial  contri- 
bution to  better  schooling. 

In  the  future,  he  felt,  students  would  spend  40 
percent  of  their  time  in  individual  training,  20 
percent  in  small  groups  of  10  to  15,  and  40  per- 
cent in  large  group  situations. 

The  conference  wound  up  with  a  recommen- 
dation that  further  meetings  of  this  type  be  ar- 
ranged, preferably  with  each  CCTV  craft  "pro" 
accompanied  by  a  classroom  teacher  involved  in 
TV  lesson  production  and/or  use.

Assignment: 

DAVI 
Personnel: 
1970 


by  James  D.  Finn 
Professor  of  Education 
University  of  Southern  California 

and 
President 

Department  of  Audio- Visual  Instruction 
National  Education  Association 


(The  Board  of  Directors  of  DAVI  will  meet  in  closed 
session  during  the  National  Audiovisual  Convention 
and  Exhibit  in  Chicago.  In  further  observance  of  one 
of  the  major  AV  events  of  the  year.  Dr.  Finn  pre- 
sents this  view  of  DAVl's  responsibilities  during  the 
coming  decade.) 


The  disease  in  all  professions  is  stagnation,  a 
failure  to  grow  in  professional  wisdom  and  com- 
petence. (Edgar  Dale,  1960) 

X  O  begin  with  a  cliche,  the  Department  of 
Audio-Visual  Instruction  is  people.  As  I  have 
said  elsewhere,  these  people  are  a  wonderful 
conglomerate;  there  are  teachers  of  the  first 
grade  who  are  audiovisual  building  coordinators 
in  small  schools;  there  are  communication  theo- 
rists working  on  the  campuses  of  large  univer- 
sities; there  are  audiovisual  directors  in  school 
systems  and  colleges  with  operations  so  vast  that 
all  bookings  are  handled  by  IBM,  and  others  so 
small  that  slide  production  is  carried  on  in  the 
director's  kitchen  on  week-ends;  there  are  pro- 
ducers, librarians,  misplaced  curriculum  special- 
ists, military  officers  with  a  training  aids  specifi- 
cation number,  religious  audiovisual  workers, 
broadcasters,  government  information  specialists, 
applied  psychologists  and  at  least  one  college 
president.  And  this  is  but  part  of  the  list. 

DAVI,  since  it  began  to  grow  up  about  1952, 


lias  provided  a  home  for  these  many  different  i 
people  who  have  a  common  interest  in  audio- 
visual communication.  Looked  at  another  way, 
of  course,  DAVI  is  an  organization;  it  is  a  nation- 
al office  of  growing  importance  in  the  NEA; 
it  is  a  host  of  committees  working  on  projects 
ranging  from  cooperative  Hbraries  to  educational 
networks;  it  is  a  publishing  house  and  it  is  the 
national  posture  for  the  educational  profession 
on  matters  of  instructional  technology.  Funda- 
mentally, however,  as  old  and  tired  as  the  con- 
cept seems,  DAVI  is  people— the  people  that 
make  up  the  organization  and  the  committees 
and  who  write  for  the  publications  and  who 
develop  the  national  posture. 

When  assessing  the  "challenge  of  the  si.xties," 
as  this  symposium  is  attempting  to  do  for  the 
audiovisual  movement  as  a  whole,  it  is  fitting, 
I  think,  that  the  DAVI  contribution  should  con- 
cern itself  with  the  people  involved,  with  the 
future  requirements  of  the  audiovisual  profes- 
sion, whatever  they  may  be.  The  future  of  any 
movement  depends  on  the  quality  of  the  people 
who  support  and  develop  it. 

Actually,  even  when  confining  the  discussion 
to  the  educational  (as  opposed  to  the  commerci- 
al) personnel  needs  for  audiovisual  specialists 
in  the  next  decade,  it  is  obvious  that  we  will 
need,  first  of  all,  a  much  larger  number  than 
during  the  past  ten  years.  Second,  we  need  all 
the  talent  and  quality  in  this  larger  number  that 
we  can  get.  Our  first  problems,  then,  not  at  all 
new  to  the  educational  scene,  are  the  twin  prob- 
lems of  quantity  and  quality  of  personnel. 

The  need  for  large  numbers  of  highly  quali- 
fied people  is  a  function  of  a  technological  so- 
ciety as  a  whole  and  is  not  limited  to  a  small 
segment  such  as  that  portion  of  the  educational 
profession  represented  in  the  audiovisual  special- 
ist. C.  P.  Snow  has  recently  pointed  out  that, 
"There  is  one  curious  result  (of  technology 
and  industrialization )  in  all  major  industrial- 
ized societies.  The  amount  of  talent  one  re- 
quires for  the  primary  tasks  is  greater  than  any 
country  can  comfortably  produce,  and  this  will 
become  increasingly  obvious.  The  consequence 
is  that  there  are  no  people  left,  clever,  com- 
petent and  resigned  to  a  humble  job,  to  keep 
the  wheels  of  social  amenities  going  smoothly 
round.   Postal    .services,    railway   services,   are 
likely  slowly  to  deteriorate  just  because  the 
people   who   once   ran   them    are   now   being 
educated  for  different  things.  This  is  already 
clear  in  the  United  States,  and  is  becoming 
clear  in  England."' 

The  talent  needed  for  the  primary  audiovisual 
tasks  is  very  great  indeed. 

A  professional  organization  must  address  itself 
to  the  work  of  developing  the  competence  of  its 
members.  This,  then,  is  one  of  the  big  jobs  for 
DAVI  in  the  decade  ahead.  A  start  has  already 
been  made  with  the  first  Invitational  Seminar 
on  Professional  Education  which  was  held  in 
conjunction  with  the  1960  DAVI  Convention  in

Cincinnati.  The  Seminar  was  the  brain-child  of 
[..  C.  Larson  of  Indiana  University  and  was  au- 
tliorized  by  the  action  of  the  Seattle  convention 
in  1959. 

The  first  seminar  began  a  study  both  of  the 
content  for  the  professional  education  of  the  gen- 
eral audiovisual  specialist  and  the  pattern  in 
which  this  content  must  be  developed.  Much 
remains  to  be  done  even  to  lay  the  groundwork, 
and  plans  are  now  underway  for  a  series  of  such 
seminars  which  will  eventually,  we  hope,  specify 
pretty  clearly  the  pattern  of  training  and  experi- 
ence that  the  new  instructional  technology  will 
require  of  its  leading  practitioners. 

By  1970,  the  demands  on  the  audiovisual  spe- 
cialist—the learning  technologist— are  going  to  be 
rigorous.  First  class  talent  will  be  needed  to  ful- 
fill a  first  class  demand.  This  means  that,  in  ad- 
dition to  a  rigorous  pattern  of  training,  we  will 
need  standards  of  admission,  especially  to  full- 
fledged  standing  in  the  profession.  Until  very 
recently,  the  educational  profession  as  a  whole 
has  been  very  reluctant  to  adopt  this  character- 
istic of  other  professions.  Now,  however,  signs  of 
a  new  attitude  may  be  seen  in  several  places. 

The  American  Association  of  School  Admin- 
istrators has  already  taken  the  step  of  setting  up 
admission  standards;  naturally,  in  all  such  ar- 
rangements, there  is  a  "grandfather  clause"  to 
avoid  threatening  many  existing  and  dedicated 
people  in  the  profession.  Eventually,  however, 
the  new  standards  take  over.  It  is  especially  sig- 
nificant, I  think,  that  Dr.  Richard  Batcholder, 
immediate  past  president  of  the  Classroom 
Teachers  (the  largest  NEA  division),  has  been 
advocating  immediate  adoption  of  minimum  pro- 
fessional standards  for  admission  to  his  organiza- 
tion. It  is  my  personal  position  that  we  need  to 
begin  immediately  studying  the  problem  of 
standards  of  membership  in  DAVI;  we  will  end 
up,  I  think,  before  1970,  with  classes  of  mem- 
bership and  standards  of  admission  to  these 
classes;  only  by  such  a  procedure  may  we  de- 
velop and  provide  the  much-needed  talent  for 
the  primary  tasks  of  audiovisual  communication 
in  the  future. 

A  rigorous  pattern  of  content  and  training  for 
the  general  audiovisual  specialist  to  achieve  com- 
petence, and  enforcement  of  this  competence  by 
selective  standards  of  admission,  provide  the 
form  of  the  solution  to  the  audiovisual  man- 
power problem  of  the  next  decade.  The  sub- 
stance of  the  solution  is  another  matter,  a  matter 
that  must  be  worked  on  very  hard.  DAVI, 
through  its  seminars,  through  contact  with  other 
branches  of  the  educational  profession  and  with 
industry,  through  the  thought  and  research  of 
leading  thinkers  in  our  own  and  related  fields 
and  through  general  discussion  among  the  mem- 
bership, must  come  up  with  a  content  for  audio- 
visual professional  training. 

It  is  easy  enough  to  list  some  of  the  items 
in  this  content:  communication  theory,  learning 
psychology,  systems  theory,  curriculum,  tech- 
nical areas  like  production,  etc.,  etc.,  etc.  We 
need,  however,  a  pivot  on  which  to  swing  this 
content,  whatever  it  mav  be.  That  pivot  must 
deal  with  the  leadership  role  that  the  members 
of  DAVI  must  play  in  the  next  ten  years.  How 
does  our  organization  provide  leadership?  How 


Dr.  Finn 


does  it  provide  leadership  not  only  for  the  audio- 
visual group  as  a  whole,  but  for  the  entire  educa- 
tional profession  in  matters  touching  our  special- 
ty? Make  no  mistake  about  it.  DAVI— the  people 
who  make  up  DAVI  and  the  posture  the  organ- 
ization takes— is  important  today,  nationally  and 
internationally.  Our  time  has  come.  The  demand 
for  leadership  is  here.  How  shall  we  exercise  it? 

One  thing  is  certain.  L.  C.  Larson,  in  his 
series  of  memoranda  on  the  professional  educa- 
tion problem,  has  insisted  that  the  audiovisual 
professional  must  be  a  change-agent  in  educa- 
tion. I  would  go  one  step  further  and  define  the 
audiovisual  professional  as  a  learning  technolog- 
ist who  is  essentially  an  innovator.  Change-agent 
or  educational  innovator,  the  audiovisual  special- 
ist faces  daily  (and  will  continue  to  do  so)  the 
problems  of  the  most  rapid  change  occurring  in 
American  education.  Almost  all  the  current  edu- 
cational changes  are  related  to,  caused  by  or, 
are  part  of  our  developing  instructional  technol- 
ogy. And  this  whether  we  are  talking  about  the 
current  problems  of  TV,  teaching  machines  and 
language  laboratories,  the  immediately  anticipat- 
ed 8mm  sound  film,  thermo-plastic  recording 
and  instructional  systems  development,  or  the 
future  applications  of  computers  as  teaching  ma- 
chines, facsimile  communication  between  schools 
and  data-retrieval  and  cataloging  systems. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  next  ten  years  will  de- 
mand that  the  pivot  of  our  professional  core 
be  based  upon  an  ability  to  deal  with  change 
and  innovation  throughout  education.  The  end 
of  the  decade  of  the  Sixties  should  see  the  true 
audiovisual  professional  come  into  being.  The 
membership  of  DAVI,  then,  as  learning  tech- 
nologists, as  innovators,  as  change-agents  will  be, 
God  willing,  supplying  American  education  with 
the  needed  leadership  from  the  individual  school 
through  state  systems  to  the  federal  government. 

This  leadership  imperative  to  close  with  an- 
other cliche,  is  a  great  challenge.  It  is  also  a 
great  adventure.  There  is,  it  seems  to  me,  little 
place  in  the  audiovisual  future  for  the  faint- 
hearted or  those  who  prefer  the  good  old  days 
of  the  carbide  gas  slide  lantern.  There  is  a  large 
place  for  those  who  want  growth  in  professional 
wisdom  and  competence.

Campaign  —  1960 

The  nominating  conventions  are 
over.  The  candidates  for  office  of 
president  and  vice  president  of  the 
United  States  have  been  named  and 
are  preparing  their  campaigns.  Internal 
party  political  enmities  will  be  tem- 
porarily bmied  while  the  political 
faithful  rally  around  the  standard 
bearers  and  indicate  their  support  of 
their  party's  candidates. 

Of  course  we  prepared  for  this  in 
May  and  June.  Despite  the  approach- 
ing school-year  end,  we  found  time 
to  begin  to  delineate  major  political 
and  social  issues  which  would  be 
emphasized  before  the  conventions 
and  during  the  campaigns.  We  fol- 
lowed the  several  primary  contests- 
West  Virginia,  Oregon,  Wisconsin  and 
the  others  with  our  classes  as  we 
helped  our  maturing  students  pre- 
pare to  observe  this  national  contest 
and,  in  observing  and  in  stating  their 
preferences  and  opinions,  to  take  part 
in  this  event. 

Where  do  we  find  the  best  history 
of  past  campaigns?  In  the  newspapers? 
In  files  four  years  musty  are  the  rec- 
ords of  the  second  Eisenhower- 
Stevenson  campaigns.  In  files  are  the 
words  that  each  man  spoke,  the  prom- 
ises made,  the  story  of  endless  hours 


We  can  refer  our  students  to  the 
papers  and  to  the  newsmagazines  of 
that  year  and  to  other  permanent 
of  campaigning,  traveUng,  speaking, 
and  moving  on  to  the  next  brief  stop, 
printed  data  which  tell  the  story  but 
which  lack  the  excitement  of  the  feel- 
ing of  presence. 

Are  there  films  to  give  life  to  the 
campaigns?  There  are  newsclips  of  the 
earlier  campaign  which  may  be  avail- 
able for  school  use.  There  are  films 
describing  political  campaigns  which 
should  be  used  as  interest  in  the  cur- 
rent campaign  grows  to  the  climax 
of  ELECTION  DAY! 

There  are  recordings  which  give 
depth  and  breadth  to  previous  cam- 
paigns and  which  can  be  used  ef- 
fectively in  schools.  First,  of  course, 
are  the  tape  recordings  made  four 
years  ago  and  carefully  stored  for 
just  this  purpose.  Schoolmen  through- 
out the  country  kept  careful  audio 
records  of  "Campaign— 1956"  and  are 
ready  to  bring  out  the  salient  record- 
ings of  that  year  and  present  them  to 
their  classes  for  critical  appraisal. 

And  there  are  the  parallel  recordings 
which  have  been  made  this  spring  as 
the  potential  candidates  paraded  their 
views  before  radio  and  television 
audiences.  Yet,  there  is  a  large  library

of  recorded  material— home  recorded 
but  nonetheless  effective. 

And  there  are  commercial  record- 
ings of  past  campaigns  which  are 
most  valuable  in  helping  our  students 
prepare  to  follow  and  to  understand 
'Campaign-1960." 

Let's  start  with  some  faraway  back- 
ground material  that  can  be  useful. 
The  changing  nature  of  the  political 
scene  and  of  political  expression  can 
perhaps  be  best  demonstrated  by 
showing  an  old  time  orator  and  com- 
paring his  techniques  and  presenta- 
tion with  some  more  recent  speakers. 

There  is  the  famous  "Cross  of  Gold" 
speech  which  was  delivered  by  Wil- 
liam Jennings  Bryan  back  in  1896. 
This  was  delivered  during  the  Demo- 
cratic convention  of  1896  in  Chicago. 
William  Jennings  Bryan,  "the  boy 
orator  of  the  Platte,"  made  of  this 
famous  speech  a  campaign  issue,  and 
as  a  result  of  his  presentation  he  be- 
came the  candidate  for  president. 
This  speech  is  read  by  Ed  Begley  as 
part  of  the  album  Great  American 
Speeches  (Caedmon  TC  2016).  Also 
in  this  album  are  such  other  cam- 
paign and  inaugural  addresses  as 
"Washington's  First  Inaugural  Ad- 
dress" (read  by  Ed  Begley),  "Thomas 
Jefferson's  First  Inaugural  Address" 
(read  by  Melvyn  Douglas),  and  Carl 
Sandburg  reading  both  the  "House 
Divided"  and  "Cooper  Union" 
speeches  delivered  originally  by  Abra- 
ham Lincoln. 

The  series  I  Can  Hear  It  Now  can 
be  u.sed  effectively  to  summarize  some 
of  the  more  recent  presidential  cam- 
paigns. Volume  III  of  this  series 
(covering  the  years  1919-1932)  in- 
cludes such  choice  items  as  Daugh- 
erty's  "smoke  filled  room"  prediction 
(could  it  happen  in  1960?)  as  well 
as  the  voices  of  Harding,  Coolidge, 
Hoover,  Roosevelt  and  Al  Smith. 
Volume  I  (1933-1945)  brings  the 
voices  of  Roo.sevelt,  Landon,  Willkie 
and  Dewey  to  the  attention  of  the 
student.  Volume  I  continued  the 
chronicle  with  the  years  following 
the  close  of  World  War  II  summariz- 
ing the  major  conventions  of  1948 
and  the  Dewey-Truman  campaigns  of 
that  year.  These  records  are  produced 
by  Columbia  and  are  numbered  ML 
4340,  ML  4095  and  ML  4261  re- 
spectively. 

Other  recordings  worthy  of  con- 
sideration are  Mr.  President  —  FDR 
To  Eisenhower  (RCA  Victor  LM 
1753)  and  Veep  (Folkways  FS  3870). 
Coming  to  the  1956  campaign,  there 
is  a  recorded  history  of  that  event 
titled  Campaign  '56  produced  by  Yale 
University.  The  recording  presents  the 
voices  and  sounds  in  the  election  of 
the  president  of  the  United  States  in 
1956.  Heard  in  addition  to  the  major 


candidates,  Eisenhower  and  Steven- 
son, are  Kefauver,  Nixon,  Harriman, 
Stassen,  Clement,  Langlie,  Chandler, 
Martin,  Rayburn,  Hoover,  Truman, 
Kennedy  and  Eleanor  Roosevelt.  Cam- 
paign Fifty-Six  recalls  for  the  student 
and  the  listener  the  primary  fights, 
the  excitement  of  the  two  national 
conventions,  the  intensity  of  the  hard 
fought  national  campaign,  and  finally 
the  long  awaited  night  when  the 
nation's  choice  of  a  president  became 


known.  It  can  be  used  most  effective- 
ly to  orient  today's  students  to  the 
events  happening  around  them. 

Finally,  inauguration  addresses  of 
the  modern  age  come  into  focus.  These 
are  available  on  Franklin  Delano 
Roosevelt- 1933  and  1937  (Spoken 
Word  115),  Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt 
-1941  and  1945  and  Harry  S.  Tru- 
man-1949  (Spoken  Word  112)  and 
Dwight  David  Eisenhower— 1953  and 
1957  (Spoken  Word  113).

Enrichment  Materials  consistently  use- 
ful. This  year  there  will  be  eight  new 
titles  available  for  school,  library  and 
home  use  including,  in  the  American 
history  series.  Swamp  Fox  of  the  Rev- 
olution and  Custer's  Last  Stand  along 
with  Andrew  Carnegie:  Age  of  Steel 
backed  up  with  America's  First  World 
War.  In  their  Great  American  Docu- 
ments series  Enrichment  will  offer 
Northwest  Ordinance  along  with 
Missouri  Compromise  on  one  record 
and  Woodrow  W  i  1  s  o  n'  s  'Fourteen 
Points'  on  the  reverse  side  of  a  pres- 
entation and  delineation  of  the  Pre- 
amble to  the  Charter  of  the  United 
Nations. 

English  literature  and  American 
poetry  stand  to  have  a  'good  year'  too. 
Junior  and  senior  high  school  students 
will  profit  undoubtedly  from  hearing 
and  reading  simultaneously  the  com- 
plete Julius  Caesar  which  will  shortly 
be  available  from  The  Spoken  Word. 
This  and  King  Lear  will  both  be  on 
the  market  before  schools  reopen  for 
the  1960-1961  academic  year.  Both 
will  be  complete— and  both  performed 
by  the  Dublin  Gate  Theatre  group, 
directed  by  Anew  McMaster  and 
produced  by  Fred  O'Donovan.  Mc- 
Master, who  will  play  Marcus  Brutus 
in  Julius  Caesar  will  also  play  the  title 
role  in  King  Lear. 

Anew  McMaster  will  also  be  avail- 
able from  Spoken  Arts  in  selections 
from  Shakespeare  in  a  two  record 
album  which  will  offer  the  exponent 
of  the  heroic  style  of  acting  as 
Petruchio  in  Act  II,  Scene  1  of  The 
Taming  of  the  Shrew,  Othello  in  Act 
V,  Scene  2  of  Othello,  Shylock  in  Act 

I,  Scene  3  of  The  Merchant  of  Venice, 
Romeo  in  Act  I,  Scene  4,  and  Act  V, 
Scene  3,  of  Romeo  and  Juliet,  the  King 
in  Act  II,  Scene  4  of  King  Lear,  the 
melancholy  Dane  in  three  scenes  (Act 

II,  2;  Act  III,  1  and  2)  from  Hamlet, 
Macbeth  in  Act  I,  Scene  7,  and  Act  II, 
Scenes  1  and  2,  of  Macbeth,  as 
Jacques  in  Act  II,  Scene  7  of  As  You 
Like  It  and  as  Caesar  in  Act  III, 
Scenes  1  and  2  of  Julius  Caesar. 

Of  course  there  will  be  new  lan- 
guage records  and  other  materials  de- 
signed for  all  grade  levels  using  lan- 
guage laboratory  learning  techniques. 
We  anticipate  that  there  will  be  a 
variety  of  recordings  in  French, 
Spanish,  German  and  Russian  with 
fewer  offerings  in  Italian  and  other 
languages. 

Basil  Rathbone's  reading  of  The 
Minister's  Black  Veil  and  Young  Good- 
man Brown  by  Nathaniel  Hawthorne 
will  be  offered  by  Caedmon.  There 
will  be  many  others  as  the  new  school 
year  progresses  and  the  first  an- 
nouncements give  promise  of  a  banner 
year  in  the  expanding  spoken  and 
instructional  records  area.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


We  have  always  said  that  there 
was  great  merit  to  "field  trips,"  and 
this  jjast  week  we  had  an  opportunity 
to  prove  this,  for  we  went  visiting  the 
aiuhovisual  program  of  Toronto,  Can- 
ada. There  is  a  fine  group  of  leaders 
in  that  city,  and  we  strongly  advise 
our  friends  to  go  a-visiting  as  we 
did,  for  it  gives  you  an  opportunity 
to  see  what  is  being  done  in  various 
parts  of  the  globe,  as  well  as  to  watch 
a  neighboring  school  system  in  action. 
One  particular  opportunity  was  given 
us  to  watch  a  second  grade  in  action, 
and  it  was  an  apportunity  (speaking 
in   terms  of  filmstrip   utilization)! 

A  lovely  tow-headed  lass  in  a  blue 
sailor  dress  was  quietly  and  efficiently 
operating  the  filmstrip  projector,  and 
the  members  of  the  class  were  observ- 
ing, reading,  questioning  and  talking 
at  a  fine  pace.  No  one  said  anything 
about  "watch  this  filmstrip  and  it  will 
show  you  .  . .  ";  no  one  said  anything 
about  "in  this  filmstrip  you  will  learn 
about,"  or  anything  el.se  of  that  nature.

The  class  projectionist  was  calmly 
presenting  to  her  classmates  an  experi- 
ence which  they  could  share  and 
which  helped  them  to  discuss  the 
material  about  which  they  were  "read- 
ing." It  was  an  example  of  filmstrips 
in  use  in  a  normal  classroom  situation, 
without  fuss  and  fanfare. 

As  we  quietly  left  the  classroom  we 
thought  how  wonderful  it  was  to  see 
modern  children  actually  using  mod- 


ern instructional  materials  as  part  of 
the  everyday  course  of  events  and  not 
making  a  lot  of  uproar  about  it.  The 
principal  was  proud  of  the  fact  that 
every  classroom  was  equipped  so  that 
such  learning  experiences  could  take 
place;  the  class  thought  nothing  about 
projection  (for  it  was  all  part  of  the 
usual  routine),  and  the  result  was  a 
group  of  children  really  participating 
in  learning.  Wonderful,  isn't  it,  to  be 
able  to  report  that  perhaps  we  are 
making  progress  in  the  use  of  instruc- 
tional materials  as  an  integral  part  of 
normal  .school  work.  (And  think  of 
how  nice  it  is  to  find  a  second  grade 
class  as  the  ones  sharing  in  such  an 
experience).

Arithmetic  Series  (6  strips,  color; 
produced  bv  McGraw-Hill  Book  Co., 
332  West  4'2nd  St.,  New  York  36,  N. 
Y.;  $32..50  per  set).  The  problems  of 
fractions,  decimals,  measurement  and 
time-telling,  percentages  and  the  use 
of  money  are  an  essential  part  of 
learning  to  use  numbers.  This  series 
is  planned  to  aid  in  work  with  number 
concepts  and  the  practical  applica- 
tion of  arithmetic  to  everyday  life. 
Facts  are  presented  in  a  plain,  clear 
manner  and  arithmetical  processes  are 
shown  in  their  relation  to  science, 
trade,  personal  budgeting  and  per- 
sonal living.  The  material  is  closely 
correlated  with  problems  encoimter- 
ed  in  grades  4  to  6  and  will  be  foimd 
helpful  when  used  with  any  textbook 
or  lesson  arrangement  in  these  grades. 

Cat  Stories  (3  filmstrips,  color;  pro- 
duced by  Curriculum  Material  Center, 
100.31  Commerce  Ave.,  Tujunga,  Cali- 
fornia; $3.95  per  strip).  Anyone  who 
likes  cats,  anyone  who  enjoys  looking 
at  pictures  of  cats,  and  anyone  who 
likes  stories  about  cats  will  like  these 
filmstrijis.  The  Cat  Who  Meets  a 
Womhhj,  The  Cat  Who  Finds  a 
Friend  and  The  Cat  Who  Sleeps  AH 
Day  are  delightful  filmstrips.  Actual 
photography  is  combined  with  art 
work  to  make  the  pictorial  sequences 
appealing,  and  there  is  a  warm  sense 
of  humor  in  the  story  presentations. 
Tin's  is  something  a  bit  out  of  the 
ordinary  run  of  story  material,  it  has 
story  value,  has  a  potential  for  lan- 
guage art  work,  and  will  satisfy  the 
desire  of  younger  learners  for  some- 
thing that  is  good  to  look  at  and  dis- 
cuss. If  we  will  use  material  of  this 
type  in  our  reading  and  story  hours, 
it  will  help  to  build  up  a  sense  of  ap- 
preciation for  this  work  and  encourage 
pupils  to  turn  to  other  story  material 
for  enjoyment  and  for  learning. 

Electing  a  President  (single  strip, 
black  and  white,  one  of  the  monthly 
series  produced  by  the  Educational 
Dept.,  New  York  Times,  229  West 
43rd  St.,  New  York,  N.  Y.)  The  fact 
tliat  we  face  a  presidential  election 
this  November  makes  a  filmstrip  such 
as  this  of  value  in  social  studies  classes 
and  for  civic  groups.  This  particular 
strip,  which  is  the  May,  1960,  -unit 
of  the  series,  traces  the '  process  by 
which  the  citizerM  of  the  United  States 
set  about  electing  a  president.  Nom- 
ination, election  campaign,  manner 
of  voting,  the  electoral  college  and 
the  final  result  are' all  presented  and 
dis'cussed  in  some  detail.  The  strip 
will  help  to  visualize  the  election  pro- 
cess and  serve  as  a  good  basis  for 
reading,  class  discussion  and  consider- 
ation of  the  American  system  of  gov- 


ernment and  the  manner  in  which  our 
people  participate  in  carrying  out  the 
American  form  of  living.  It  is  prob- 
ably best  suited  to  junior  and  senior 
high  school  work. 

The  Atlantic  Region  (2  filmstrips, 
color;  produced  by  The  National  Film 
Board  of  Canada  and  available  from 
Stanley  Bowmar  Co.,  Valhalla,  New 
York;  S5  per  strip).  Subtitles  of  the 
two  strips  here  considered  are  From 
The  Sea  and  From  Mine  and  River. 
As  the  teachers'  guide  tells  us,  the 
atlantic  region  of  Canada  provides 
from   55  to   60  percent   of  the  total 


fish  caught,  and  is  also  one  of  the 
oldest  mining  regions  in  this  same 
country.  The  picture  gives  us  a  good 
idea  of  what  both  industries  mean  in 
terms  of  national  wealth,  activity  and 
industry.  They  are  also  good  for 
schools  in  this  country,  for  conditions 
are  similar  and  both  fishing  and  min- 
ing are  a  vital  part  of  the  life  of  this 
country.  We  see  how  modern  fish- 
ing and  mining  methods  are  put  into 
operation  and  how  men  in  both  oc- 
cupations set  about  their  work.  Good 
clear  factual  presentations,  with  value 
for  social  studies  units.

AV 

in  the  Church  Field 

by  William  H.  Hockman 


Reaching  The  Shut-Ins 

Many  churches  would  like  to  get 
the  church  services  to  the  home- 
bound  people  of  the  congregation, 
and  many  approaches  to  the  solution 
of  this  problem  have  been  tried. 
Would  you  be  interested  in  our  pres- 
ent plan? 

In  our  church  this  work  comes  un- 
der the  Board  of  Deacons  and  its 
arm-of-service  is  the  Christian  Serv- 
ice committee.  When  the  CSC  sat 
down  and  looked  this  problem  over 
it  ran  head-on  into  certain  fixed 
things;  (a)  the  shut-in  wanted  to  hear 
the  entire  service;  (b)  the  shut-in 
was  old,  in  most  instances,  and  want- 
ed to  talk  with  the  caller  and  not 
listen  at  that  time  to  something  which 
he/she  had  brought;  (c)  the  home- 
bound  person  did  not  want  to  receive 
the  church  service  through  any  hard- 
to-operate  equipment;  (d)  they  did 
not  want  to  listen  just  once  but  sev- 
eral times;  and,  (e)  they  wanted  to 
listen  when  they  were  in  the  mood, 
and  able  to,  and  not  when  it  was  con- 
venient for  some  caller  to  stop  by. 

This  is  a  tough  order  to  fill!  But 
with  these  factors  in  mind  we  went 
to  work. 


What  about  a  portable  tape  record- 
er? We  had  already  installed  in  the 
sanctuary  a  good  professional-type 
tape  recorder  so  there  would  be  no 
problem  at  all  in  transferring  services 
to  the  smaller  recorder.  But  our  real 
problem  was  at  another  point.  First, 
the  tape  recorder  was  too  'hard'  for 
these  older  people  to  operate  them- 
selves, and  to  reach  oin'  shut-ins  we 
would  need  three  or  fom-  of  them  in 
operation  at  the  same  time,  pushing 
our  investment  in  equipment  above 
our  limits  (so  we  thought). 

Then  we  checked  into  a  short-wave 
radio  system,  with  receivers  in  the 
homes  of  our  home-bound  people. 
This  had  possibilities,  but  the  initial 
cost  and  the  trouble  in  operation  soon 
eliminated  this  from  further  consid- 
eration. 

About  this  time  we  discovered  an- 
other factor:  Some  of  our  aged  could 
not  see  to  read  any  longer.  How 
could  we  serve  them?  We  knew  that 
portions  of  the  Bible  had  been  put  on 
records  and  in  this  medium  could  be 
utilized  by  many  of  our  people. 

This  brought  us  back  to  records 
and  to  a  portable  record  player  which 
could  be  taken  to  a  shut-in  and  left

there  to  be  played  at  her  convenience. 
Now  we  seemed  to  be  on  a  rather  ! 
promising  track.  All  we  had  to  do 
now  was  to  get  the  taped  church 
service  onto  records.  Could  that  be 
done— within  our  budget— and  would 
the  'cut'  records  have  a  lifetime  of 
usefulness  sufficient  to  justify  their 
production? 

We  soon  found  a  local  firm  which 
would  transfer  our  tapes  to  record.s 
for  $7.50  per  record.  They  could 
squeeze  on  to  each  side  about  22  min- 
utes of  running  time  at  33 '/j  rpm.  We 
felt  we  could  afford  this  rate  of  ex- 
pense and  we  set  about  to  create  our 
first  "Shut-in  Package." 

It  so  worked  out  that  the  first  22 
minutes  of  the  service  went  on  one 
side  and  the  second  22,  which  would 
be  the  sermon,  on  the  other.  Natu- 
rally, something  had  to  be  left  off, 
and  it  was  the  hymns  that  got  cut,  in 
some  instances,  to  one  stanza.  At  other 
times  it  was  some  other  item. 

Now,  with  our  first  record  we  only 
needed  a  light-weight  phonograph  rec- 
ord player,  and  we  were  in  business. 
Finding  it  was  no  trouble,  but  we  re- 
quired one  with  a  minimum  of  con- 
trols and   considerable  sturdiness. 

For  some  weeks  now  this  first  Pack- 
age (phono  player  plus  two  or  three 
records)  has  been  taken  from  one 
home  to  another  by  the  Minister's 
Assistant  who  tells  the  Christian  Serv- 
ice committee  that  she  thinks  we  have 
hit  upon  just  the  right  solution  to  a 
knotty  problem.  She  finds  that  the 
Package  needs  to  stay  with  a  shut-in 
about  three  days,  and  that  in  that 
time  it  is  played  many  times.  She  finds 
that  they  enjoy  both  the  sermon  and 
the  rest  of  the  service  equally,  but  do 
not  miss  the  parts  that  must  be  de- 
leted to  reduce  an  hour  to  44  minutes 
on  the  record.  To  our  surprise,  the 
operation  of  the  player  was  not  beyond 
the  feeblest  if  a  little  care  was  taken  in 
explaining  its  operation,  and  if  the 
record  wa.s  not  cut  too  close  to  the 
edge,    making   starting   difficult. 

It  wasn't  long  before  our  worker 
ran  into  the  request  for  the  Bible  on 
records.  We  then  put  into  operation 
a  set  of  the  New  Testament  records 
from  Audio  Book  Company,  Benton 
Harbor,  Michigan.  These  records  have 
a  speed  of  16  rpm,  a  speed  now  avail- 
able on  many  phono  players.  This 
brought  not  only  the  church  service 
but  the  Bible  to  these  people  of  fail- 
ing sight,  and  their  gratitude  has  been 
profound.  This  album  could  easily  be 
divided  into  two  parts,  each  to  be 
included  in  a  Package. 

We  are  not  certain  as  yet  what  the 
lifetime  of  one  of  these  cut  records 
will  be.  It  is  difficult,  in  the  first 
place,  to  know  how  many  playings 
they  have  received.   Again,   we   find

that  they  get  damaged  by  the  playing 
arm  being  dropped,  and  b\'  handling. 
We  shall  retire  them  when  we  be- 
lieve their  general  condition  requires 
it. 

We  do  not  tape  every  service,  only 
those  which  we  think  will  have  es- 
pecial appeal  to  shut-ins.  During  the 
coming  year  we  expect  to  have  in  cir- 
culation throughout  our  parish  of  some 
2,000  members  at  least  three  of  these 
Packages  in  an  effort  to  carry  the  wor- 
ship and  message  of  the  church  to  a 
shut-in  list  of  more  than  70.  As  of 
now,  we  think  we  have  met  a  signifi- 
cant challenge. 

Vocation  Filmstrips 

We  seem  to  remember  some  find- 
ings to  the  effect  that  many  young 
men  and  young  women  wind  up  in 
the  vocation  which  interested  them 
when  they  were  about  13  years  old 
or  in  the  8th  grade.  Now  comes  a 
filmstrip  producer  (Eye  Gate  House, 
Inc.,  Jamaica  35,  N.  Y.)  with  an  8- 
unit  series  entitled,  "Let's  Talk  About 
Vocation,"  for  a  target  audience  of 
10-15-year-olds.  In  the  Master  Study 
Guide  they  say  "most  children  be- 
tween 10  and  15  years  old  are  not 
ready  to  make  a  realistic  decision  on 
vocation,"  but  point  out  that  all  of 
them  need  to  be  thinking  about  it. 
And  right  here  is  where  the  church 
comes  in:  to  deepen  motivation  and 
broaden  perspective.  This,  and  more. 


this  series  has  undertaken. 

The  eight  titles  and  their  length, 
and  acc-cnt,  are:  Phillip's  Netc  House; 
13-min;  under  God's  grace,  all  work 
is  good  and  worthy.  Virginia's  Day; 
151/^  min.;  vocation  can  begin  when 
you  are  young.  Lucky  Carolyn;  16'/2 
min.;  plaiming  a  career  in  music, 
Carolyn  is  helped  to  see  that  even 
now  she  needs  to  share  her  God-given 
talent.  Mike's  Decision.  16  min.;  Mike 
begins  to  see  that  after  all  he  may 
have  the  courage  it  takes  to  be  a  for- 
eign mi.ssionary.  Judy's  Journey;  19 
min;  Judy  is  losing  interest  in  school 
when  a  teacher  helps  her  to  see  teach- 
ing might  be  a  good  vocation,  and  re- 
vives her  interest  in  study,  junior 
Businessman;  16  min.;  Jimmy  sees  that 
as  a  business  man  there  are  ways  to 
serve  God.  Fatty  Goes  To  The  Hospital 
and  begins  to  see  what  being  a  nurse 
can  be  like;  18-min.  Heal  The  Sick 
were  just  words  which  sounded  good 
but  did  not  mean  much  until  a  tour  of 
a  hospital  reveals  real  suffering,  and 
the  great  services  performed  by  mod- 
ern medicine. 

It  seems  to  me  that  this  series  is  not 
only  for  the  child  but  for  his  parents 
as  well.  After  all,  they  stand  close  to 
his  life;  they  have  a  deep  interest  in 
his  vocational  interests  and  choices, 
and  they  desire  to  help.  With  a  new 
perspective  and  with  new  ideas,  they 
can  be  helped  to  see  vocation  from 
the    child's    level-of-view. 


What  about  quality?  The  color 
photography  is  excellent  across  the 
series.  The  color  itself  is  right,  and 
the  photos  are  meaningful.  The  nar- 
ration is  a  fine  rendering  by  one  voice 
of  commentaries  which  have  a  dialogic 
and  conversational  structure.  Here  we 
wonder  if  straight  narration  might  not 
have  done  as  well,  making  possible 
somewhat  fewer  words  with  each 
frame.  Yet,  the  producer  is  trying  at 
all  times  to  give  us  nuances  of  thought 
and  feeling  which  require  conversa- 
tion. Withall,  there  is  in  the  series  a 
greater  economy  of  pictures  than  of 
words,  when  leanness  is  more  desired 
in  the  latter. 

The  commentary  for  the  first  two 
frames  is  the  same  for  each  filmstrip. 
This  is  good.  It  gives  the  context,  the 
point-of-view;  it  orients  the  user. 
There  is  a  Master  Guide  for  the  series: 
and  a  Leader's  Guide  for  each.  They 
are  well  printed  and  helpful. 

In  my  judgment  the  target  audience 
is  Junior  and  Junior  Hi.  This  drops  it 
a  grade  or  two  lower  than  the  pro- 
ducer does.  On  some  of  these  I'd  be 
a  little  shy  about  using  them  with 
ninth  graders  and  very  cautious  at 
the  tenth  grade  level.  However  this 
varies  with  user,  with  the  group,  with 
the  purpose  and  the  setting.  I  am 
certain  that  most  Juniors  will  find 
them  to  their  liking.  (Complete  with

Happy  Little  Hamsters 

(Poiiufilm.i,  Orchard  Lake,  Michigan)

black  and  white,  1959.  $135  and  $75. 
Teacher's  auide  available. 


Description 

Happy  Little  Hamsters  is  the  amus- 
ing but  warmhearted  story  of  Naomi— 
her  courtship,  motherhood,  and  the 
raising  of  her  family  of  eight  children. 
It  also  gives  unusual  close-up  views  of 
the  day-by-day  development  of  a  ham- 
ster litter  from  birth  to  maturity. 

Naomi  and  Abdullah  "fall  in  live" 
at  first  sight— or  rather,  first  smell— 
and  for  a  while  they  are  happy.  But 
like  all  adult  hamsters  after  mating, 
they  soon  begin  to  have  family  spats. 
The  quarrels  get  .so  bad  that  pretty 
soon  Abdullah,  who  has  been  relegat- 
ed to  the  role  of  a  "hamster-pecked" 
husband,  is  taken  away. 

Several  weeks  later  Naomi  gives 
birth  to  eight  healthy  squirming  babies 
each  weighing  about  one-fifteenth  of 
an  ounce.  Their  skin  is  loose  and 
transparent  and  their  eyes  and  ears  not 
fully  formed.  However,  they  develop 
rapidly,  and  in  four  days  they  begin 
to  look  like  hamsters. 

As  the  babies  start  to  walk,  they 
become  quite  hard  to  manage  and 
feed.  They  scramble  about  blindly 
and  delight  in  after  dinner  romps  at 
the  end  of  which  poor  Naomi  is  ready 
to  drop  from  sheer  exhaustion.  In 
two  weeks  the  babies'  eyes  open,  and 
since  they  have  learned  to  eat  solid 
foods  by  then,  they  eat  everything  in 
sight  so  that  Naomi  has  to  remind 
tliem  that  cedar  chips  are  not  for  eat- 
ing. Too,  their  fights,  which  they  think 
are  lots  of  fun,  get  on  their  mother's 
nerves. 

By  the  time  the  hamsters  are  three 
weeks  old,  they  are  tired  of  fighting 
as  a  form  of  exercise.  They  are  more 
sure-footed  and  begin  to  show  off  in 
front  of  an  appreciative  group  of  chil- 
dren who  love  to  watch  their  antics. 
The  children  have  such  fun  with  them 
that  each  child  wants  one  for  a  pet. 

The  hamsters  are  now  ready  to 
leave  their  mama  and  go  out  on  their 
■own,  so  they  are  placed  in  neat,  new 
cages.  As  the  last  child  hamster  leaves, 
Naomi  feels  sad,  but  proud,  too,  be- 


cause these  happy  little  hamsters  will 
make  a  lot  of  children  happy. 

Appraisal 

Although  designed  specifically  for 
children  on  the  lower  elementary 
level,  the  film,  because  of  its  unusual 
treatment,  would  appeal  to  people  of 
all  ages.  The  photography  is  e.xcellent 
and  the  narration,  along  with  a  clever 
sound  track  giving  human  voices  to 
hamsters,  provides  just  the  right 
amount  of  hinnor  to  keep  audience 
interest  high. 

Happy  Little  Hamsters  is  authentic 
and  most  informative.  It  can  be  used 
to  correlate  with  units  on  animal  fam- 
ilies and  habits,  value  of  animals  to 
mankind,  and  care  of  pets.  There  is 
only  one  point  which  might  have  been 
more  emphasized:  the  necessity  of 
staying  away  from  the  young  for  a 
week  after  birth.  Science  and  biology 
students  would  be  interested  in  the 
day-by-day  development  of  the  litter 
from  birth  to  maturity.  They  could 
also  use  the  film  as  a  springboard 
for  discussion  and  study  on  individual 
similarities  and  differences  in  various 
animal  families.  The  Humane  Associa- 
tion might  be  interested  in  this  film. 


too,  as  well  as  parents  who  know  little 
about  hamsters  and  hesitate  to  let  their 
child  have  one  for  a  pet.

both  the  agent  and  product  of  the 
newly  created  life.  Animation  of  an  i 
"impressionist  character"  is  used  to  i 
describe  the  female  reproductive  sys- 
tem, the  development  of  the  embryo 
and  fetus  and  the  birth  of  the  infant. 
Live-action  photography  establishes 
both  the  seasonal  design  patterns  and 
the  feeling  of  deep  affection  within 
the  rural  family  in  which  the  mother 
is  expecting  her  second  child. 

The  story  of  the  cyclic  patterns  of 
nature  begins  with  the  rolling  surf  at 
sunrise  and  moves  on  to  panoramas 
of  fields,  woods,  streams  and  ponds. 
Then  close-ups  of  flowers  and  foliage 
establish  the  first  season  as  spring. 
The  film's  total  mood  is  revealed  in, 
"The  earth  turns,  day  follows  night, 
the  seasons  change,  and  an  infinite 
variety  of  things  unfold."  Time-gaps 
are  bridged  by  characteristically  pic- 
turing the  changing  seasons. 

The  rural  family  of  mother,  father 
and  young  son  jDrovides  the  symbol- 
ism for  each  animated  sequence.  The 
unifying  spirit  of  family  love  is  ap- 
parent in  family  walks  through  the 
spring  woods;  in  the  warm  affection 
of  the  husband  when  he  learns  they 
are  to  have  their  second  child;  in  the 
wife  as  she  holds  her  husband's  hand 
on  her  abdomen  to  feel  the  movements 
of  the  new  life;  in  the  comforting 
calm  gestures  of  the  husband  to  his 
wife  as  she  begins  labor;  and  in  the 
happiness  apparent  in  the  family,  now 
four,  as  they  again  stroll  through  the

Many  cinematic  techniques  are 
used  to  bridge  time  or  shift  from  one 
medium  to  another.  The  couple  sow-

\eci,  the  landscape  changes  from

iination,  picturing  labor,  to  a  baby 
ing  placed  in  the  outstretched  arms

Interwoven  animation  locates  and 
icribes  the  functions  of  tlie  female

zation.  Tlie  actual  union  of  sper- 
tozoa  and  the  ovum,  the  hereditary 
es  of  chromosomes  and  genes,  and 

early  cell  divisions  are  graphically 
)rcsented.  Attaching  itself  to  the 
rine  wall,  tlie  embryo  is  surroimded 

the  aninoic  and  yolk  sacs,  and  the 
|uence  of  development  during  the 
it  25  days  is  outlined,

couraged  with  mixed  groups  of  high 
.school  age  and  older. 

Evaluators  universally  stated  that 
it  would  be  an  excellent  film  to  set 
the  proper  atmo.s-phere  for  the  study 
of  human  reproduction  in  biology  and 
health  classes  on  the  high  school  and 
college  level.  Establishing  this  mood 
is  done  at  only  slight  sacrifice  of  factu- 
al concept  development  and  nomen- 
clature. 

Some  members  of  the  preview  com- 
mittee regretted  the  amount  of  time 
devoted  to  labor,  the  omission  of  the 
male  reproductive  system  and  the  fail- 
ure to  show  in  detail  the  stages  in 
early  embryonic  development. 

Others,  however,  indicated  that  the 
overall  picture  of  embryonic  and  fetal 
development  coupled  with  the  inspira- 
tional values  more  than  offset  possible 
criticisms.  Likewise  they  indicated 
that  the  use  of  this  film  as  an  intro- 
duction would  set  an  atmosphere  in 
wliich  not  onh  many  other  materials 
could  be  used  to  develop  concepts 
omitted  in  the  film,  but  the  atmos- 
phere created  would  make  presenta- 
tion of  the  concepts  easier  and  more 
meaningful.

Michigan  professor 
uses  Argus  TV  camera 
to  teacli  TV  instruction 


Edward  Stasheff,  Professor  of  Speech  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  explains: 


"For  my  course  in  TV  production,  I  need 
a  camera  that  is  compact  and  easy  to 
move  between  studio  and  classroom,  yet 
gives  me  sharp,  clear  results," 


NOW  JUST  *595* 


-the  cost  of  a  movie  projector- 
can  bring  your  school  closed -circuit  television.  This 
new  Argus  Direct-Wire  TV  Camera  transmits  a  clear, 
vivid  picture  with  ordinary  room  light.  It  telecasts  up  to 
1000  feet  through  standard  co-axial  cable.  It  hooks  up  to 
any  TV  receiver  without  interfering  with  regular  reception. 
It  can  produce  the  same  picture  on  several  receivers  at 
once,  or  as  many  as  four  cameras  can  be  channeled  to  a 
single  receiver.  It  costs  about  one  third  as  much  as  other 
closed-circuit  TV  cameras. 

'price  includes  1-inch,  f/1.9  lens;  telephoto  and 
wide-angle  lenses  available  at  modest  extra  cost 


argus 


"The  Argus  Uirect-Wire  TV  Camera 
gives  me  the  picture  quality  I  need  with 
nothing  more  than  normal  room  light." 


"It  attaches  to  any  TV  receiver,  warms 
up  in  just  five  minutes.  And  you  don't 
have  to  be  an  engineer  to  operate  it."

EBF  T/Mc  Programs 

Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films, 
Inc.,  has  started  production  of  "pro- 
grams" for  use  in  self-instruction  teach- 
ing machines.  Initial  subject  areas  now 
ready  are  high  school  and  college 
math  and  foreign  languages,  the  latter 
with  an  "added  audio  component"— 
a  pre-recorded  tape  cartridge"  con- 
taining key  sounds  and  phrases  which 
are  fed  to  individual  student  earphones 
on  cue  from  the  printed  program." 
The  EBF  "Temac"  programs  are  ex- 
pected to  be  available  soon  in  two 
forms  (a)  for  the  teaching  machine 
and  (b)  the  programmed  textbook,  "a 
unique  kind  of  book  which  also  pro- 
vides a  sequential,  organized  presenta- 
tion." Next  in  line  for  "program"  treat- 
ment are  similar  factual  subjects  such 
as  English  grammar  and  spelling  and 
Latin. 

Animation  Workshop 

More  than  100  artists  and  tech-

ganizations attended  a  4-day  workshop 
in  film  animation  techniques  sponsored 
by  Florman  &  Babb  June  12-15  at 
New  York's  Trade  Show  building.  Film 
producers  and  advertising  agency

ried the  course  from  idea  to  story- 
board  to  camera  and  eventually  to 
audience. 

Warren  Portman,  designer  of  the 
stand  used  at  the  workshop,  led  sev- 
eral sessions;  a  trip  was  taken  through

GE's  Large-Screen  TV 

Although  not  yet  marketed  commer-

TV  used  at  the  nominating  conventions 
offers  hopeful  prospect  of  effective 
large-group  use  of  the  medium.  An 
oversize  rear-projection  screen  about 
3.5  feet  behind  and  55  feet  above  the 
speaker's  platform  allowed  everyone  in

Why  do 
teachers  overwhelmingly 
prefer 
Coronet  films 
to  all  other 
educational 
motion  pictures? 

.  ..Because  Coronet  films  have  been  produced 

solely  with  classroom  requirements  in  mind! 

Even  in  brief  screening  sessions,  teachers  are  quick  to  recognize  that  Coronet  films  are  designed  to  make 
optimum  use  of  limited  time  ...  to  reflect  basic  educational  concepts .  . .  and  to  correlate  precisely  with 
the  curricula  and  textbooks  which  are  the  teacher's  guides  in  daily  instruction. 

As  she  strives  to  make  her  classroom  a  vivid,  rich  center  of  learning,  the  teacher  considers  it  an  obliga- 
tion to  restrict  her  use  of  materials  to  those,  like  Coronet  films,  which  help  her  do  the  most  effective, 
specific  teaching  job. 

Her  enthusiastic  approval  of  Coronet  films  is  substantiated  by  facts.  Coronet  is  the  only  producer  with 
a  research-script  department  which  analyzes,  unit  by  unit,  state-approved  curricula  and  appropriate 
related  texts  to  determine  fundamental  guideposts  for  scriptwriters  and  film  makers. 

The  result?  —  films  which  truly  correlate  to  what  is  being  taught . . .  exactly  and  specifically. 

You  may  wish  to  investigate  for  yourself  why  Coronet  films  are  teacher-preferred.  We  shall  be  pleased 
to  send  you  a  handsome,  new  chart  correlating  more  than  100  science  films  for  grades  4-6  to  30  widely 
used  textbooks  (from  which  you  may  make  preview  selections  at  no  obligation)  and  other  literature 
telling  the  complete  story  of  Coronet  Films.  Merely  send  your  request  to:

U.  of  Chicago  Lab  School 
Appoints  Field  Coordinator 

A  field  services  coordinator  has 
been  appointed  for  the  laboratory 
school  of  the  University  of  Chicago. 
This  new  position  was  created  pri- 
marily, it  is  said,  because  of  the  prob- 
lems involved  in  arranging  field  trips 
for  large  numbers  of  students. 

The  major  responsibilities  of  the 
field  services  coordinator,  according 
to  the  university,  will  include  arrang- 
ing   transportation,    making    contacts 


at  the  places  to  be  visited,  preparing 
proper  release  forms,  and  securing  ma- 
terials to  be  used  in  planning  the  trip 
with  the  students.  In  some  cases  the 
coordinator  will  meet  with  the  group 
prior  to  the  trip  and  discuss  the  geog- 
raphy or  culture  of  the  area  to  be  visit- 
ed. He  will  also  document  the  trip 
photographically  if  the  resulting  ma- 
terials could  be  of  instructional  value 
to  the  teacher  involved. 

About  80  trips  off  campus  for  the 
lab  school  were  planned  for  the  com- 
ing year.  This  is  about  three  times  as 
many  as  had  occurred  prior  to  this 
service.  A  resource  file  is  gradually  be- 
ing developed  for  use  as  a  reference 
for  the  teachers.

The 

Ultimate 
Up 
Until 

Now 


Paul  C  Reed 


We've  never  actually  seen  a  learning  room  completely  equipped  for 
the  automatic  audiovisual  presentation  of  information  and  ideas,  but 
we  hope  to!  We've  seen  it  already,  almost,  and  what  we  have  seen 
may  well  signal  the  most  sensational  advances  of  the  next  decade  in 
the  adaptation  of  space  and  equipment  for  audiovisual  presenta- 
tions. 

The  ultimate  up  until  now  in  rooms  for  audiovisual  learning  is 
in  the  new  Reception  Center  of  Eastman  Kodak's  headquarters  of- 
fices in  Rochester,  New  York.  In  these  conference  and  meeting 
rooms,  groups  that  are  assembled  to  learn  can  be  multi-sensationally 
impressed  in  such  a  way  that  learning  is  practically  inescapable. 

In  these  rooms  total  control  of  a  complete  array  of  audiovisual 
facilities  is  at  the  fingertips  of  the  instructor  or  communicator.  Stere- 
ophonic or  monophonic  sounds  come  from  ceiling  and  wall  speakers. 
The  amount  and  placement  of  light  can  be  accurately  related  to  the 
needs  of  the  moment.  Screens  position  themselves  appropriately  for 
various  still  or  motion  picture  projections.  Wide  screens  appear 
when  needed  for  projection  of  wide  pictures  or  when  two  or  three 
standard  pictures  are  to  be  projected  simultaneously.  All  audiovisual 
equipment,  and  in  effect  the  total  room  environment,  responds 
instantaneously  to  the  will  of  the  leader. 

Educators  who  have  been  privileged  to  experience  the  demon- 
strated use  of  these  presentation-facilities,  (and  you,  too,  could  be  so 
privileged),  are  inspired  to  imagine  the  changes  that  could  take 
place  in  their  traditional  schools  and  colleges  if  instead  of  class- 
rooms they  were  to  create  learning  rooms  for  maximum  audio- 
visual impact.  They  recognize  that  this  isn't  a  simple  matter  of  copy- 
ing a  blueprint,  but  that  there  are  fundamental  concepts  here  to  be 
applied  to  every  learning  situation. 

The  Kodak  rooms  were  not  designed  as  model  rooms  to  be  copied. 
Nor  were  they  planned  to  sell  equipment  or  materials.  Actually  they 
evolved  over  a  period  of  years  as  various  departments  strove  to  pro- 
vide training  and  presentation  facilities  that  would  be  most  effective 
and  most  efficient  in  the  use  of  time  and  personnel.  But  there  is 
stimulation  here  for  all  educators  and  especially  those  seriously  con- 
cerned with  creating  environments  and  using  methods  based  upon 
sound  psychological  principles  conducive  to  maximum  learning. 

But  the  ultimate  is  only  until  now.  Change  is  the  order  of  the  day 
and  of  the  decade  of  the  sensational  sixties  that  lie  ahead.  For  in- 
stance, it  would  be  but  a  simple  step  to  automate  completely  to 
audiovisual  presentations  in  learning  rooms  like  those  at  Kodak. 
Human  fingers  can  make  mistakes  and  push  wrong  buttons.  Finger- 
tip control  might  better  be  replaced  by  completely  automated  elec- 
tronic controls.  If  something  as  complex  as  a  television  station  can 
be  programmed  for  a  full  day  with  completely  automated  controls, 
why  not  an  audiovisual  presentation  room,  with  complete  and  pre- 
planned presentations  of  ideas  and  information  automatically  con- 
trolled and  readily  available  to  learning  groups  as  needed. 

Let  no  one  misunderstand,  however.  We  well  know  that  such 
presentations,  audiovisual  and  automated,  would  not  be  teaching. 
Teaching  is  much  more  complex.  But  an  important  aspect  of  teach- 
ing is  the  presentation  of  ideas  and  information.  Too  much  current 
teaching  still  relies  too  much  upon  the  teachers'  spoken  words  and 
the  reading  of  the  textbook  for  the  presentation  of  information. 

The  great  educational  advances  of  this  coming  decade  will  be  in 
the  direction  of  freeing  teachers  to  perform  better  those  aspects  of 
teaching  only  humans  can  do.  Automated  audiovisual  presentation 
could  be  one  of  the  giant  steps.

At  the  new  Monroe  Elementary  School,  Monroe,  Iowa,  sclccied  hy  A.A.S.A. 
for  its  e.xhihit  of  outstanding  school  ilesigm;  R.  J.  Hekel,  Superintendent,  says: 


"We're  convinced  that  A-V  increases 
learning  efficiency  by  20  to  30  percent.' 


"Even  slow  learners  grasp  meanings  quickly  when  they 
see  a  subject  in  context. 

"After  showing  a  movie  on  rural  fire  prevention,  for  ex- 
ample, nearly  every  pupil  readily  understood  basic  con- 
cepts of  the  subject.  Before  A-V,  it  was  a  slow  process, 
sometimes  tedious,  to  drum  home  the  same  subject. 

"We  frequently  show  movies — and  we  take  care  to  see 
that  they  add  to  the  learning  experience. 

"To  show  our  movies,  we  selected  the  quietest,  easiest- 
to-operate  16mm  sound  projector  we  could  find — the 
KODAK  PAGEANT  PROJECTOR. 

"Its  quiet  operation  is  not  distracting,  and  we  usually 
don't  have  to  show  a  new  teacher  or  student  more  than 
twice  how  to  operate  it  with  ea.se.  This  means  we  don't 


have  to  lose  valuable  class  time. 

"We  must  move  our  projectors  about  the  school,  so  we 
don't  like  cumbersome,  heavy  machines.  This  Kodak 
Pageant  is  as  light  as  any  we've  seen.  And  we  know 
there's  good  reason  for  this  projector's  weight.  For  in- 
stance, from  our  examination  of  the  sound  amplifier,  we 
found  this  to  be  a  quality  sound  system,  obviously  not 
skimped  on  in  manufacture.  This  sound  quality  is  exactly 
what  we  need  to  accommodate  showings  in  either  class- 
room or  auditorium." 

Test  the  Kodak  Pageant  Projector  yourself.  See  how  easy 
it  is  to  set  up,  how  quietly  it  operates.  Call  your  Kodak  A-V 
Dealer  for  a  demonstration,  or  write  for  Pageant  Bulletin 
V3-22.  No  obligation,  of  course.

features  on  the  National  Audiovisual 
Convention  and  Exhibit. 


1  HE  final  tally  for  the  20th  annual  National 
Audiovisual  Convention  and  Exhibit  showed 
3,170  registered  in  attendance.  This  exceeded 
advance  estimates,  and  surpassed  the  1959  show 
by  2.3  percent. 

Those  attending  the  big  show  at  the  Morrison 
Hotel  in  Chicago,  August  6-9  represented  users, 
producers,  equipment  manufacturers,  and  deal- 
ers of  non-theatrical  motion  pictures,  film  strips 
and  recordings  for  teaching  and  selling. 

Harvey  W.  Marks,  partner  in  the  Visual  Aid 
Center,  Denver,  Colorado  was  elected  president 
of  the  National  Audio- Visual  Association.  Marks 
was  installed  by  outgoing  president  W.  G.  Kirt- 
ley  of  the  D.  T.  Davis  Company  of  Louisville, 
Kentucky,  who  now  becomes  chairman  of  the 
NAVA  board  of  directors. 

Mahlon  H.  Martin,  Jr.,  M.  H.  Martin  Com- 
pany, Massillon,  Ohio,  was  installed  as  first  vice 
president,  and  Harold  A.  Fischer,  Photosound 
of  Orlando,  Orlando,  Florida,  was  made  second 
vice  president  of  the  association.  Robert  P. 
Abrams,  Williams,  Brown  &  Earle,  Inc.,  Phila-

The  keynote  speech  of  the  convention  waf 
presented  by  James  W.  Hulfish,  Jr.,  Fairfax 
Virginia,  director  of  information  of  NAVA.  Usinf 
three  slide  projectors  and  tape  recordings  anc 
a  "wide  screen"  Hulfish  described  the  develop 
ment  of  the  audiovisual  industry  and  deliverec 
a  prediction  of  the  future  of  the  use  of  audio 
visuals  in  the  next  decade. 

His  presentation  featured  recorded  interview: 
with  a  score  of  men  and  women  prominent  ir 
the  audiovisual  fields  of  business,  education 
religion,  medicine  and  manufacturing. 

Discussing  the  growth  of  the  .\V  industr\- 
Kirtley  said  that  "the  audiovisual  field  repre 
sents  an  investment  in  excess  of  .$2..5  billion  ii 
the  United  States  since  World  War  II." 

"The  annual  dollar  volume,"  he  said,  "was  esti 
mated  to  be  over  a  quarter-billion  dollars  ii 
1958  and  in  1960  is  expected  to  pass  the  .$30( 
million  mark." 

"The  most  dramatic  growth  is  taking  place  ii

Developing 
Map  Reading 
Skills 


by  Leonard  H.  Bathurst 


I 


F  maps  are  to  be  used  effectively  in  the  class- 
room, it  is  essential  that  the  students  have  a 
complete  understanding  of  maps.  The  reader  of 
a  map  must  know  that  it  is  a  "bird's  eye  view," 
drawn  with  lines,  of  a  given  area  or  section  of  the 
earth.  This  may  be  a  relatively  small  area  or  it 
may  include  the  entire  surface  of  the  earth.  With 
few  exceptions,  a  map  is  not  a  photograph  nor  is 
it  a  realistic  view  of  the  area  represented. 

The  skills  required  in  reading  maps  should 
begin  with  children  in  the  primary  grades.  There 
is  great  need  for  developing  map  reading  readi- 
ness. The  writer  has  observed  first  grade  children 
working  with  and  understanding  simple  maps 
that  had  been  made  in  the  classroom.  "Map"  is 
part  of  the  vocabulary  of  six-year-old  children. 
At  times  these  children  will  draw  checkerboard 
lines  on  drawing  paper  and  describe  their  "map" 
with  no  prompting  from  the  teacher  or  parent. 
This  map  reading  experience  is  similar  to  word 
reading  or  picture  reading  experiences  which 
children  begin  to  have  prior  to  entering  the  first 
grade. 


Teachers  must  realize  that  map  reading,  like 
word  reading  and  picture  reading,  is  a  develop- 
mental continuing  process  which  requires  several 
skills.  It  must  be  understood  that  all  skills  and 
understandings  are  not  grasped  during  a  single 
concentrated  lesson  on  map  reading.  Many  les- 
sons and  vears  of  growth  will  be  required  for 
mastery  of  map  reading  skills. 

The  major  concern  of  this  article  is  in  the  area 
of  understanding  the  types  of  maps  used  in  the 
schools  throughout  the  United  States  and  Can- 
ada. The  writer  is  not  concerned  at  this  point 
with  more  specialized  maps  not  normally  used  by 
students  in  school  situations. 

This  proposed  method  of  introducing  map 
reading  is  based  upon  known  facts  about  learn- 
ing. Since  the  writer  does  not  know  each  teach- 
er's class  (its  capabilities,  experiences,  etc.), 
some  variety  may— at  times  necessarily— be  enter- 
tained at  the  discretion  of  the  classroom  teacher 
in  order  to  make  his  or  her  teaching  more  effec- 
tive and  interesting  for  the  students. 

To  first  grade  children,  the  school-home  com- 
munity is  the  world  which  they  study  and  at- 
tempt to  understand.  This  "world"  is  usually 
studied  as  a  segment  of  their  social  studies  cur- 
riculum. They  will  devote  many  hours  studying 
and  understanding  this  community. 

The  study  of  maps  could,  and  perhaps  should, 
commence  during  this  first  school  year.  The  stu- 
dents take  many  excursions  about  the  school 
grounds  and  the  surrounding  streets.  These  trips 
are  considered  an  essential  part  of  the  reading 
readiness  and  social  studies  program.  While  the 
children  are  creating  this  common  denominator 
they  may  very  well  be  preparing  themselves  foi 
an  introductory  study  of  map  making  and  under- 
standing. 

The  teacher's  responsibility  would  be  to  direct 
the  attention  of  the  children  to  the  important 
sites  that  will  assist  the  children  when  they  begir 
map  construction.  Some  of  these  sites  would  in- 


These  photos,  provided  through  the  courtesy  of  A.  J.  Nyslrom  &  Co.,  ilhistrate  steps 
paralleling  those  described  in  the  story.  Here,  a  more  advanced  class  studies  a 
'linoleum  map'  of  the  United  States. 


?lude  the  principal  streets  and  avenues,  service 
itations,  prominent  homes,  traffic  signs,  fire  sta- 
ions,  the  post  office,  grocery  stores,  barber  shops, 
nail  boxes,  open  fields  and  lots  and  other  "land- 
narks"  in  the  community. 

Along  with  discussions  of  these  sites  (not  all 
it  one  time),  directions  and  relationships  would 
36  observed  and  discussed  in  the  classroom  as 
ivell  as  in  the  field." 

Colors  are  learned  and  used  by  the  children, 
rhe  many  structures  they  see  will  have  color 
(Bobby's  home,  the  fire  station,  the  stop  sign, 
etc.).  These  colors  will  be  used  as  the  map  is 
constructed  and  may  help  the  children  to  re- 
member the  location  of  certain  landmarks. 

In  the  spring  of  the  school  year,  after  many 
trips  and  discussions,  the  class  should  be  ready 
to  begin  a  map  construction  project.  This  social 
studies  unit  should  be  introduced  as  interestingly 
as  any  other  unit.  If  the  group  is  not  yet  ready 
for  the  project,  the  teacher  should  postpone  the 
unit  until  a  more  suitable  time. 

Rather  than  waiting  for  the  children  to  become 
ready,  the  teacher  will  be  evaluating  the  class, 
plus  his  or  her  own  techniques  and  weaknesses. 
Using  the  results  of  the  evaluation  the  teacher 
would  strive  effectively  to  assist  the  children  in 
gaining  a  deeper  understanding  of  their  school- 
home  community. 

The  children  would  need  to  realize  that  be- 
cause of  the  size  of  the  real  community  it  would 
be  impossible  to  bring  it  into  the  classroom.  The 
teacher  might  have  the  children  name  other  ob- 
jects which  would  be  too  large  to  bring  into  the 
classroom.  The  class  would  discuss  symbols  by 
which  the  objects  could  be  shown  in  the  school 
room.  Photographs,  models  or  drawings  of  these 
objects  are  brought  to  the  schools  to  represent 
the  real  object.  The  teacher  would  explain  that  a 
map  is  a  drawing  or  model  of  the  area  which  it 
represents. 

"We  will  make  our  map  look  as  much  like  our 
community  as  we  can,"  is  the  idea  to  have  the 
students  accept,  desire  and  discuss. 

During  the  discussions  the  group  would  be  in- 
tegrating the  language  arts  and  social  living  pro- 
gram into  the  map  unit.  Art  abilities  and  small 
muscle  skills  would  be  required  to  construct  the 
buildings  of  construction  paper.  Making  signs, 
lettering  streets,  addressing  homes,  drawing  pe- 
destrian crosswalks,  etc.,  will  require  skills  which 
are  being  developed  by  these  youngsters.  Safety 
rules  and  habits  may  very  easily  fit  into  this  unit. 
The  proper  way  to  cross  a  street,  the  shortest, 
safest  way  home  from  school,  to  the  store,  etc., 
may  be  practiced  on  the  map  and  discussed  in 
the  class  and  out  on  the  streets.  Teaching  boys 
and  girls  to  observe  is  very  important  at  any  age 
level  and  is  often  neglected  during  the  educa- 
tional experiences  of  the  children.  The  teacher 
would  be  expected  to  continue  to  teach  good 
work  habits  and  study  habits  while  initiating  this 
unit. 

The  next  step,  in  this  method  of  teaching  map 
construction  and  reading,  consists  of  setting  aside 
a  section  of  the  classroom  as  the  map  corner.  ( An 
area  approximately  9  x  12  feet  on  the  floor  may 
work  very  well).  Some  first  grades  have  a  lin- 
oleinn  play  area  in  their  classroom.  If  such  is 
the  case,  the  reverse  side  of  the  floor  covering  ( to

regions  of  our  country,  they  wanted  to  construct  their

After  the  teacher  has  planned  the  "layout"  of 
the  map  in  advance,  the  class,  using  chalk  or 
tempera  paint,  would  draw  a  street  which  would 
represent  the  street  in  front  of  the  school  build- 
ing. The  nearest  intersection  could  then  be 
drawn. 

The  streets  on  this  floor  map  should  be  wide 
enough  for  the  children  to  walk  on  without 
touching  the  buildings  which  will  be  placed  on 
the  map.  ( The  width  of  the  streets  should  be  con- 
sidered during  the  construction  of  the  "homes" 
so  that  the  scale  is  fairly  accurate.) 

After  the  first  intersection  is  placed  on  the 
map,  it  woidd  be  feasible  to  place  the  school 
building  on  the  proper  site.  This  would  provide  a 
point  of  orientation  from  which  the  children 
could  continue  developing  the  map.  The  child 
living  nearest  the  school  could  then  place  his 
"home"  on  the  map.  If  it  is  necessary  for  him  to 
cross  a  street,  it  may  be  important  to  draw  in 
another  street.  The  children  would  be  visualizing 
the  boy's  actions  because  they  know  where  he 
lives.  The  next  child  places  his  home  on  the  map. 
Streets  are  added  as  the  homes  are  placed  on  the 
map.  Other  buildings  are  placed  in  their  relative 
positions. 

XT  would  be  interesting  and  helpful  to  have  the 
children  actually  walk  down  the  street  from  the 
school.  They  turn  left  or  right  when  they  normal- 
ly turn  as  they  walk  home.  The  children  obey  the 
traffic  and  safety  rules  as  they  walk  down  the 
streets  on  the  map.  This  would  also  provide  an 
opportimity  for  the  teacher  to  observe  the  learn- 
ings of  the  pupils  in  a  "play  life"  situation. 

The  names  of  the  streets  are  written  on  the 
floor,  intersections  are  lined  with  safety  zones, 
traffic  signs  are  placed  at  the  proper  intersections 
and  other  "landmarks"  are  put  into  position  by 
the  students. 

After  the  map  has  been  completed  the  stu- 
dents would  walk  up  and  down  its  streets  describ- 
ing their  walk  and  the  objects  placed  on  the  map. 
As  they  do  this  walking  and  talking,  the  map 
should  become  more  realistic  to  them.  When  the 
students  have  learned  the  map,  the  teacher  might 
have  them  make  a  three-dimensional  map  on  a 
sand  table.  This  would  be  more  abstract  than  the 
map  on  the  floor.  Instead  of  walking  up  and 
down  the  streets,  the  children  could  have  their 
fingers  walk  through  the  streets.  The  sand  table 
would  be  much  smaller,  the  streets  much  nar- 
rower, and  the  buildings  very  small.  Small  blocks 
of  wood  used  in  games  such  as  Monopoly  might 
be  used.  The  small  symbols  for  houses  and  the 
larger  ones  for  the  school,  store,  post  office,  etc. 

The  sand  table  map  would  be  more  abstract 
than  the  map  on  the  floor  but  it  would  still  have 
three-dimensions.  The  writer  believes  that  this 
transferring  to  a  smaller,  3-D  map  is  rather  es- 
sential in  order  to  assure  more  complete  under- 
standing by  all  the  children  in  the  class.  The  map 
should  be  developed  as  slowly  as  necessary  to 
have  every  child  follow  the  abstracting.  The 
floor  map  should  remain  until  the  unit  is  com- 
pleted so  that  the  children  may  go  back  to  it  for 
reassurances  when  necessarv. 


After  the  children  have  walked  through  the 
map  with  their  fingers  several  times,  they  may 
be  ready  to  move  to  a  more  abstract  level  of 
understanding.  That  level  would  be  presented  on 
the  chalk  board.  The  map  now  leaves  the  hori- 
zontal plane  and  is  presented  on  a  vertical  plane. 
It  becomes  more  abstract  because  it  is  a  series  of 
lines  drawn  to  represent  the  streets,  signs,  build- 
ings, etc.  If  this  is  developed  slowly  by  the  stu- 
dents, there  may  be  little  or  no  difficulty  in- 
volved. Nevertheless,  the  teacher  must  be  certain 
that  the  students  are  understanding  this  transfer- 
ence from  the  three-dimensional  horizontal  model 
map  to  a  two-dimensional  drawn  or  diagram- 
matic map  in  a  vertical  position. 

The  students  should  trace  the  routes  home,  to 
the  store,  post  office  and  friends'  homes  on  the 
drawn  map  many  times,  with  the  teacher  observ- 
ing each  motion  of  the  fingers.  Questions,  answers 
and  discussions  should  be  held  to  evaluate  the 
learnings  of  the  students.  References  would  be 
made  to  the  sand  table  map  and  the  floor  map  as 
the  occasion  required. 

Moving  into  the  final  phase  of  this  elementary, 
home-school  community  map  the  teacher  may 
wish  to  reduce  the  map  to  8'/2  x  11  inch  pai>ei 
for  the  children  to  take  home.  The  writer  be- 
lieves this  could  be  achieved  by  having  tht 
teacher  attach  an  8V2  x  11  sheet  on  the  chalk- 
board beside  the  larger  map.  While  in  full  view 
of  the  children,  the  teacher  would  draw  the  out- 
line of  the  map's  main  arteries  on  the  sheet  ol 
paper.  He  or  she  would  explain  to  the  childrer 
that  the  map  is  being  reduced,  or  made  smaller 
to  fit  that  size  paper.  If  one  line  is  smaller 
shorter,  or  narrower,  then  all  lines  must  be  madt 
smaller,  shorter  or  narrower.  He  could  draw  the 
school  and  perhaps  some  other  buildings  01 
symbols  for  them  on  the  map  and  have  the  stu- 
dents discuss  them.  Perhaps  some  of  the  childrer 
could  assist  in  placing  them  on  the  drawn  re- 
duced map. 

In  preparation  for  the  next  day's  lesson,  th( 
teacher  could  duplicate  enough  maps  so  tha 
each  child  would  have  two  copies.  On  the  firs 
one,  each  child  would  trace  his  safe  way  homt 
and  place  his  home  on  the  map.  He  could  colo 
his  home,  the  school,  store,  etc.  On  the  seconc 
map,  each  child  could  make  a  complete  maj 
showing  the  location  of  the  homes  of  all  the  boy 
and  girls  in  his  class  and  all  the  important  "land 
marks." 

This  map  construction  could  be  a  very  rea 
evaluation  of  his  knowledge  of  map  making  ^^ 
interpreting  on  an  elementary  level,  as  wel^fl 
providing  enjoyable  problem  .solving. 

In  the  years  to  follow,  the  child's  understand 
ing  of  a  larger  community  ( a  larger  section  o 
town)  would  have  developed.  His  small  worU 
has  grown  and  he  has  gained  some  understand 
ing  of  size  relationship.  A  map  of  his  city  i 
made  very  similar  to  his  own  map,  but  a  greats 
area  is  included.  The  study  of  maps  continue 
from  city  to  county,  to  state,  to  country,  to  con 
tinent,  to  hemisphere  and  to  the  entire  earth.  A* 
the  child's  communitv  gets  smaller  in  size  rela 
tionships,  his  world  of  understanding,  if  de 
veloped  properly,  continues  to  grow,  and,  havin; 
an  understanding  of  elmentary  maps,  he  cai 
graduate  to  the  study  of  more  complicated  map*

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — Septembek.  196" 


Earphones  Permit  Select  Showing 
Of  Film  in  Classroom 


t  7   Samuel   R.   Rubinstein 

1  T  is  well  known  that  earphones  can  be  uti- 
lized by  pupils  listening  to  recordings  without 
disturbing  other  pupils  at  work  in  the  room. 
Capitalizing  on  this  idea,  we  experimented  with 
the  possibility  of  having  six  pupils  listen  with 
earphones  and  see  a  16mm  motion  picture  film 
projected  on  a  screen.  This  idea  has  great  po- 
tentialities. 

The  mechanics  of  this  set-up  are  quite  simple. 
An  adapter  box  with  six  jacks  was  used.  The  box 
has  its  own  plug  which  was  inserted  into  the  jack 
marked  "speaker,"  in  the  audio  section  of  the 
projector.  Six  pairs  of  earphones  were  plugged 
into  the  adapter  box. 

Six  children  sat  around  a  table  and  watched 
the  film  projected  about  4  feet  away  onto  a 
white  surface  glued  onto  the  inside  of  a  shadow 
box.  On  this  enclosed  surface,  black-and-white 
and  color  pictures  showed  up  very  clearly  with- 
out having  to  darken  the  room  or  to  draw  the 
shades. 

It  should  be  possible  to  use  this  arrangement 
in  any  subject  where  small  groups  are  expected 
to  do  independent  research.  Committees  often 
require  special  films.  Usually  they  are  forced  to 
spend  extra  time  or  move  themselves  or  equip- 
ment to  other  rooms.  This  new  method  would 
make  these  disturbances  unnecessary. 


The  film  can  be  shown  in  one  corner  of  any 
room;  a  table  and  several  chairs  provide  a  study 
area  for  the  pupils.  While  these  pupils  are  listen- 
ing and  watching  the  film,  other  pupils  continue 
with  their  work  and  they  will  not  be  affected  by 
any  sound  from  the  projector. 

One  jack  in  the  adapter  box  can  also  be  used 
with  a  plug  from  the  tape  recorder.  We  have 
taped  special  sound  effects  from  film  sound 
tracks,  as  well  as  some  interesting  commentaries 
on  various  subjects.  Tapes  are  reused  as  pupils 
progress  from  one  subject  area  to  another. 

Initially  pupils  were  curious  about  this  new 
arrangement  and  stopped  work  to  watch  the 
other  pupils  engrossed  in  listening  and  in  view- 
ing the  films.  Soon,  however,  everyone  continued 
work  at  his  own  activity  in  the  shop  or  in  the 
classroom. 

The  teacher  assigns  one  of  the  two  AV  squad 
monitors  in  each  class  to  handle  the  threading 
and  the  rewinding  of  the  film.  When  the  pro- 
jector is  returned  to  the  audiovisual  building  co- 
ordinator, the  earphones  remain  plugged  intg 
the  adapter  box  and  are  placed  in  the  box  with 
the  white  "screen"  surface.  This  assembly,  thus, 
is  returned  as  a  unit.  The  white  surface  is  pro- 
tected by  interposing  a  sheet  of  oak  tag  or  piece 
of  felt  between  this  surface  and  the  earphones. 

Teachers  will  find  even  greater  values  from  us- 
ing these  films  if  they  find  ways  to  use  them  for 
small  group  instruction  within  larger  classes. 


"I  Ca 
Can 


by  Hell 


o 


NCE  upon  a  time  there  was  an  AV  director 
who,  along  about  June,  became  very  tired  and 
discouraged.  There  seemed  to  be  nothing  but 
problems:  projector  troubles,  films  arriving  late, 
need  for  more  money  for  the  program  (a  whim 
of  which  the  administration  took  a  dim  view ) ,  all 
departments  wanting  films  on  the  same  day  at 
the  same  hour.  And  next  year's  film  program- 
ming loomed  like  a  lurking  monster. 

To  top  it  off,  the  boss,  who  up  to  now  had 
seemed  a  reasonable,  fair-minded  man,  turned 
out  to  be  mean  enough  to  think  the  AV  director 
should  give  up  part  of  her  lunch  hour  to  strug- 
gle with  and  solve  all  these  problems. 

As  she  lay  tossing  sleeplessly  in  bed  that  night, 
counting  jobs  to  be  done  instead  of  sheep,  an 
amplified  stereophonic  voice  came  up  from  no- 
where. She  heard  the  soothing  voice  tell  her  that 
all  suffering  AV  directors  were  entitled  to  one 
dream  of  perfection.  She  felt  the  world  lifting 
from  her  shoulders  as  she  awakened  to  the  won- 
derful land  of  tomorrow. 

The  schools  were  all  functionally  designed  for 
audiovisual  teaching.  There  were  no  more  pro- 
jector or  room-darkening  worries.  All  a  teacher 
had  to  do  was  press  a  little  button  and  there  ap- 
peared on  the  wall  a  bright  and  perfect  image. 
The  room  itself,  meantime,  had  retreated  into 
the  exact  degree  of  darkness  to  accommodate 
the  reflected  picture. 

There  was  no  scheduling  problem  and  no 
shortage  of  materials.  A  central  source  provided 
all  materials.  All  the  teacher  had  to  decide  was 
which  of  the  buttons  to  push.  There  were  no 
worries  for  the  AV  director.  In  fact  there  was  no 


need  for  a  director  because  there  was  no  pre- 
planning, no  catalogs  or  ordering  to  worry  about, 
no  struggle  to  get  the  post  office  to  deliver  the 
films  on  time,  and  no  records  to  keep. 

And  the  teachers?  That  was  best  of  all.  Bless 
their  hearts  for  being  in  this  dream  world!  They 
all  used  materials  wisely  and  well.  No  in  service 
training  was  necessary— except  when  an  occasion- 
al teacher  couldn't  remember  which  button  was 
which.  They  were  all  happy  and  satisfied.  Not 
one  griped  or  wrung  his  hands  over  tlie  human 
limitations  of  an  AV  director.  They  no  longer 
needed  selection  or  programming  help  for  they 
knew  that  all  the  projected  images  had  built-in 
automatic  previewing  devices  that  eliminated 
mistakes.  If  any  of  the  buttons  got  stuck  one  only 
had  to  press  the  big  button  for  automatic  re- 
pairs. (The  medium-sized  button  was  for  elec- 
tronic computation  of  all  statistics.) 

The  AV  director  now  ate  her  lunch  with 
dignity  and  composure,  with  no  pressures  or 
problems.  There  were  no  more  professional  meet- 
ings for  (1)  there  was  nothing  to  discuss,  (2)  no 
one  had  problems,  (3)  everyone  already  knew 
the  answers. 

Yet  she  was  sad  at  times  when  she  remembered 
the  old  days.  She  missed  the  poor  distracted 
souls  with  whom  she  had  argued,  laughed,  and 
cajoled.  She  enjoyed  helping  them.  It  wasn't  the 
new  pay.  That  was  just  right.  High  enough  to 
raise  her  morale,  but  not  enough  to  lower  her 
morals. 

The  days  slipped  by  in  this  blissful  haze.  Then 
they  dragged,  and  she  realized  that  this  was  a 
terribly  dull  situation.  An  instructional  program

[ton 


without  audiovisual  problems  was  a  program 
ivithout  challenge.  Such  a  situation  was  too  bor- 
ng  to  exist. 

At  that  moment,  in  no  uncertain  tone,  the 
ilarm  cried  out  "For  heaven's  sake  get  up  and 
^et  going  or  you'll  be  late  again!"  Then  she 
realized  gratefully  that  here  was  another  day 
with  all  its  difficulties  to  be  faced. 


She  appreciated  the  privilege  that  was  hers: 
to  help  others  meet  aggravating  situations  and 
imperfect  conditions.  She  knew  the  genuine  satis- 
factions that  came  from  the  professional  rela- 
tionships with  other  teachers  as  they  worked  and 
planned  together  to  achieve  the  ideal  program. 
She  began  to  realize  that  her  ideals  would  never 
be  accomplished  merely  by  pushing  buttons.

Are  you  a  pattern  follower?  The 
majority  of  us  are.  There  is  nothing 
wrong  with  patterns;  actually,  a  pat- 
tern is  a  type  of  map  which  helps  to 
chart  a  course  or  guide  in  the  presen- 
tation of  something.  The  trouble  with 
being  a  pattern  follower,  however,  is 
that  creativity  and  side-road  investi- 
gating are  often  overlooked  by  the 
one  \\ho  adheres  too  closely  to  a  pat- 
tern. The  truly  creative  craftsman  is 
the  one  who  adds  little  personal 
touches  to  his  pattern. 

.  .  .  All  by  way  of  introduction  to 
the  fact  that  a  new  school  year  is 
about  to  start.  We  face  new  classes, 
and  we  also  face  the  task  of  helping 
them  become  acquainted  with  much 
the  same  basic  information  we  pre- 
sented to  last  year's  classes.  There  is  a 
subtle  danger  in  the  temptation  to 
look  at  last  year's  pattern  of  subject 
presentation  as  an  ideal  guide  for  this 
year's  work.  Try  to  resist  this  tempta- 
tion if  you  can,  for  the  filmstrip  that 
stimulated  last  year's  discussion  may 
leave  the  new  class  totally  uninspired. 

If,  as  a  teacher,  you  are  thinking 
about  this  problem  of  the  use  of  in- 
structional materials  give  some  atten- 
tion to  new  productions;  try  a  slightly 
different  method  of  presentation  for 
old  materials;  if  you  do  use  materials 
you  have  used  before  then  try,  with 
apologies  to  Gilbert  and  Sullivan,  to 
"make  the  material  fit  the  need."  It 
is  just  possible  that  both  you  and  the 
new  class  may  have  an  even  better 
year  (and  learn  a  lot,  too!). 

Aural  Comprehension  in  French  (2 
units  of  three  filmstrips  each,  with 
record  or  tape;  produced  by  Teaching 
Audials  and  Visuals,  250  West  57th 
St.,  New  York  19,  N.  Y.;  $18.80  for 
unit  of  one  filmstrip  and  record  or  $27 
for  one  filmstrip  and  two  5-in.  reels 
71/2  i.p.s.  sound  tapes).  Known  as 
"T  h  e  Audio  -  Visual  Comprehension 
and  Dictation  Exercise  Units,"  this 
puts  into  the  hands  of  language  teach- 
ers a  set  of  practical  material  well 
planned  and  well  organized.  Photo- 
graphs for  the  filmstrips  were  taken  in 
France  and  give  us  good  visuals  with 
which  to  show  something  of  this  coun- 
try. The  records  or  tapes  provide  well 
coordinated  narrations  which  give 
meaning  to  the  visuals  and  also  pro- 
vide for  vocabulary  training  and  help 


to  make  the  language  itself  meaning- 
ful. "En  Bretagne,"  "A  La  Plage," 
"La  Douce  France"  are  planned  for 
the  junior  high  school  or  first  year 
French;  "Paris— La  Ville  Pour  Flaner," 
"Du  Haut  De  Notre  Dame  De  Paris" 
and  "Tout  Droit  An  Sacre-Coeur"  are 
for  the  senior  high  school  or  college 
entrance  board  students.  Pictorials  are 
sharp  and  artistic;  the  voices  of  the 
narrators  are  clear  and  well  paced. 
There  is  a  flexibility  to  this  material 
and  it  will  help  to  make  language 
study  and  comprehension  interesting. 
It  shows  what  happens  when  a  pro- 
ducer devotes  some  thought  and  atten- 
tion to  the  fact  that  study  of  language 
involves  both  appeal  to  eye  and  ear 
and  a  sensible  arrangement  of  subject 
content. 

Cities  of  Europe  (7  strips,  color; 
produced  by  Encyclopaedia  Britan- 
nica  Films,  1150  Wilmette  Ave.,  Wil- 
mette.  111.:  $42  per  set,  $6  single 
strips ) .  The  cities  included  in  this 
series  are  Rome,  Paris,  Vienna,  Lon- 
don, Madrid,  Toledo,  Granada  and  the 
Alhambra.  In  each  instance  the  city  is 
one  closely  associated  through  the  cen- 
turies with  major  events  of  history; 
they  are  also  centers  of  cultural  and 
artistic  importance.  We  are  given  a 
view  of  the  city  itself  and  also  pro- 
vided with  information  about  the  in- 
dustrial and  political  life.  This  is  so- 
cial geography  material  for  middle 
and  upper  grades,  and  is  also  recom- 
mended for  art  classes  at  the  same 
level. 

Elementary  Science  Series  (8  strips, 
color;  produced  by  Moody  Institute 
of  Science,  P.O.  Box  2575,  Los  An- 
geles 25,  Cahf.;  each  for  1  to  4  film- 
strips,  other  prices  for  quantity  pur- 
chases ) .  The  photographers  who  work 
for  this  producer  seem  to  achieve  a 
quality  of  picture  that  is  truly  vivid 
and  realistic.  The  range  of  subject 
matter  in  the  series  includes  Life  Story 
of  A  Butterfly,  How  Does  A  Garden 
Grow?,  How  We  See  and  Hear,  Minia- 
ture Plants  of  the  Desert,  Our  Desert 
Treasure,  Wealth  in  the  Ocean,  Won- 
ders of  Crystals  and  Wonders  of  Snow. 
Because  so  many  of  the  shots  are 
close-ups,  one  has  almost  the  feeling 
of  working  with  actual  objects  and 
specimens.    The   strips    are    good   for 


French  Language  Filmstrips  (2 
strips,  color;  with  record  and  manual; 
produced  by  National  Film  Board  of 
Canada  and  available  from  Stanley 
Bowmar  Co.,  Valhalla,  New  York; 
$7.95  each).  Any  class  would  enjoy  a 
visit  to  the  great  wheat  farms  of  Can- 
ada and  to  the  equally  interesting  for- 
ests and  logging  camps.  These  areas 
provide  the  background  for  becoming 
familiar  with  simple  French  conver- 
sation. The  pictures  involved  in  "Ex- 
ploits of  Ti-Jean  Dans  L'Ouest"  and 
"Ti-Jean  et  Les  Boucherons"  catch 
the  spirit  of  the  story  content  and  tht 
record  narrations  are  easy  to  comprC' 
hend.  Material  of  this  type  is  appeal- 
ing; it  helps  to  make  language  stud) 
interesting  and  al.so  provides  a  mediurr 
which  allows  the  pupil  to  use  the 
language  as  an  actual  channel  foi 
communication.  These  are  interesting 
stories,  and  to  understand  them  yoi 
learn  to  use  the  language;  you  fine 
yourself  using  the  words  of  the  nar 
rator.

$.37.80  per  set,  S6  single  strips).  Out- 
standing events  from  1900  to  the 
present  day  constitute  the  material  of 
this  .series.  Particular  attention  is  cen- 
tered on  such  units  as  events  before 
and  after  World  War  I,  the  Depres- 
sion period  and  its  effects  on  American 
life.  World  War  II  and  the  Atomic 
Age.  This  is  social  history,  and  the  pic- 
torial content  shows  us  how  the  Unit- 
ed States  changed  from  a  country 
with  a  policy  of  isolation  to  one  of 
leadership  in  international  affaii-s.  Em- 
phasis is  placed  on  social  and  political 
trends  in  the  various  periods  and  the 
implications  for  future  periods.  The 
series  will  be  found  useful  with  any 
text,  and  can  be  made  the  basis  for 
considerable  research  and  study.  The 
strips  are  not  cluttered  with  a  lot  of 
little  details,  but  give  broad  presenta-

an  outline  of  how  the  project  operates. 
Any  understanding  of  what  this  great 
waterway  means  to  both  Canada  and 
the  United  States  will  necessitate 
study  of  just  such  material  and  the 
filmstrips  are  excellent  for  both  social 
studies  and  for  economic  and  world 
geography.  The  facts  are  clearly  pre- 
sented, and  the  economic  results  of 
the  great  project  well  illustrated.  The 
photographic  journey  through  the 
locks  and  along  the  great  river  is  inter- 
esting and  gives  us  a  feeling  of  ap- 
preciation for  the  entire  project.

Origin  of  Weather 

(Carousel  Films,  Incorporated,  1501 
Broadway,  New  York  36,  New  York) 
26  minutes,  16mm,  sound,  black  and 
white,  no  date.  $135. 

Description 

Through  the  use  of  time-lapse  and 
other  special  photographic  techniques, 
Origin  of  Weather  indicates  the  pres- 
ent state  of  knowledge  concerning 
weather  and  dramatically  portrays  re- 
search by  Dr.  Joanne  Malkus  and  Dr. 
Bernard  Vonnegut  in  the  area  of  cloud 
formation  and  the  creation  and  effects 
of  storms.  The  fact  that  there  are 
more  things  unknown  about  the  weath- 
er than  are  known  is  illustrated  by  dra- 
matic pictures  of  tornadoes,  "run- 
away" clouds,  and  hurricanes,  causes 
of  which  are  not  yet  understood.  Other 
unknowns  include  the  process  by 
which  a  cloud  is  formed,  what  makes 
rain,  what  causes  lightning,  and  how 
the  forces  in  the  atmosphere  interact 
to  produce  high  winds  or  great  snow 
storms. 

In  an  effort  to  find  answers  to  some 
jf  these  questions,  the  audience  is  taken 
to  the  laboratory  of  Dr.  Joanne  Mal- 
kus. By  means  of  a  cup  of  hot  coffee 
the  main  ingredients  in  cloud  forma- 
tion are  identified.  Much  the  same  at- 
mospheric conditions  prevail  over 
tropical  oceans  as  those  over  the  coffee 
cup.  Time-lapse  photography  is  used 
to  show  clouds  forming,  moving  and 
disappearing.  Simple  line  drawings  are 
used  to  explain  the  formation  of 
clouds. 

In  order  to  study  the  clouds  more 
thoroughly,  an  airplane  is  used  to  take 
recording  instruments  of  various  kinds 
into  the  clouds.  Most  of  the  clouds, 
it  is  pointed  out,  exist  for  only  about 
ten  minutes,  being  eroded  out  of  exist- 
ence by  the  surrounding  cool,  dry  air. 
Sometimes,  however,  a  cloud  grows  so 
rapidly  that  the  cool  air  cannot  evapo- 
rate it.  The  resulting  "run-away"  cloud 
is  pictured  by  means  of  time-lapse 
photography.  When  scientists  find  out 
what  it  is  that  permits  the  formation 
of  such  giant  clouds,  Dr.  Malkus  be- 
lieves that  they  will  be  able  to  deter- 
mine what  forms  and  maintains  hur- 
ricanes. 

In  the  North  Pacific  area  the  giant 
"run-avvav"  clouds  are  often  formed. 


By  flying  between  Hawaii  and  Guam, 
Dr.  Malkus  was  able  to  obtain  a  photo- 
graphic record  of  the  cloud  formations. 
The  motion  pictures  thus  obtained 
were  transformed  into  a  map  represen- 
tation of  the  cloud  formations.  The 
maps  clearly  show  that  the  clouds  tend 
to  line  up  with  the  wind.  A  radar  pic- 
ture of  a  hurricane  is  shown  and  a  pos- 
sible relationship  between  the  arms  of 
the  hurricane  and  the  lined-up  clouds 
is  proposed.  However,  if  there  is  a 
connection  between  the  lining  up  of 
the  clouds  and  the  formation  of  hurri- 
canes, it  is  still  not  known  how  the 
clouds  line  up  nor  how  they  provide 
the  energy  to  drive  the  storm. 

It  has  long  been  thought  that  elec- 
tricity resulted  from  rain  in  a  thunder- 
storm. Dr.  Bernard  Vonnegut  has 
been  doing  some  experimentation 
which  challenges  this  accepted  view. 
He  suggests  that  lightning  comes  first 
and  is  a  major  force  in  the  formation 
Df  rain  drops.  A  simple  laboratory  dem- 
onstration, pictured  by  slow  motion 
photography,  shows  the  influence  of 
static  electricity  on  the  formation  of 
large  drops  from  small  drops  of  water. 

A  small  Van  de  Graaf  generator  is 
used  by  Dr.  Vonnegut  to  explain  the 
formation  of  electricity  in  the  clouds. 
He  likens  the  vertical  currents  of  air 
which  carry  electrical  charges  upward 
to  the  cloud  to  the  operation  of  the 
Van  de  Graaf  generator. 

To  test  his  theory.  Dr.  Vonnegut 
studied  the  formation  of  thunderstorms 
over  a  mountain  range  in  New  Mexi- 
co. A  photographic  record  was  made 
of  the  cloud  formations;  an  airplane 
was  used  to  fly  over  and  measure  the 
electricity  in  the  clouds;  balloons  were 
used  to  measure  the  vertical  currents 
of  air;  and  radar  was  used  to  deter- 
mine when  raindrops  were  first  formed 
within  the  cloud.  The  information 
thus  recorded  was  later  reduced  and 
compiled  in  chart  form.  Electrical 
activity  was  shown  to  precede  the  for- 
mation of  rain  and  seemed  to  coincide 
with  the  growth  of  vertical  currents 
within  the  clouds. 

Although  not  conclusive,  prelimi- 
nary results  tend  to  support  Dr.  Von- 
negut's  theory.  Such  healthy  skepti- 
cism and  application  of  experimental 
science  is  helping  man  gain  a  greater 
insight  into  the  forces  of  nature.  One 
day   man   may    control   the   weather. 


First,   however,   he   must   understand 
the  atmosphere  and  its  activities. 

Appraisal 

The  preview  committee  felt  that  this 
was  an  outstanding  film  for  several 
reasons.  It  gives  a  good  general  view 
of  the  problems  associated  with  the 
understanding  and  forecasting  of 
weather,  and  it  shows  scientists,  who 
are  portrayed  as  real  people,  at  work 
on  a  real  problem.  A  healthy  skepti- 
cism and  a  willingness  to  try  new 
things,  both  of  which  are  essential  to 
scientific  progress,  likewise  are  por- 
trayed. Much  information  concerning 
weather  is  presented  and  the  handling 
of  the  subject  is  very  interesting. 

The  outstanding  feature  of  the  film 
is  the  photographic  portrayal  of  weath- 
er phenomena.  The  use  of  such  motion 
picture  techniques  as  time-lapse  and 
slow  motion  also  contributes  much. 

Teachers  on  the  junior  high  school 
through  college  level  will  find  the  film 
a  worthwhile  conbibution  to  the  study 
of  weather.  On  the  junior  high  level 
the  presentation  of  basic  information 
on  weather  and  the  depiction  of  the 
scientific  method  of  problem  solving 
should  add  realism  to  the  understand- 
ing of  both  by  a  general  science  class. 
On  the  senior  high  school  level  the 
factual  information  should  serve  as  a 
good  review  of  knowledge  previously 
acquired  and  as  a  springboard  to 
further  study.  The  college  student  will 
find  challenging  the  new  concept  of 
rain  formation,  and  he  will  also  find 
interesting  the  photographic  record  oi 
weather  phenomena  and  the  methods 
of  collecting  data. 

Originally  produced  as  a  television 
program,  this  film  should  find  a  place 
for  itself  among  the  better  educational 
motion  pictures  on  weather.

ment  for  Snare  Drum  discusses  the 
common  mistakes  made  by  student 
drummers  and  how  to  correct  them.  It 
calls  for  audience  practice  right  after 
each  example  while  the  instruction  is 
still  fresh  in  mind. 

The  demonstrator  starts  by  empha- 
sizing correct  grip  of  the  sticks,  for 
without  this  basic  knowledge  one  can- 
not apply  drumming  fundamentals  cor- 
rectly. He  then  proceeds  to  demon- 
strate the  fundamental  rudiment— the 
single  shoke  roll— and  calls  attention 
to  the  students'  neglect  of  the  wrist 
motion  and  failure  to  decrease  the 
height  as  the  speed  increases. 

Comparing  the  earh'  strokes  of  the 
drummer  to  the  bowing  of  a  violinist, 
lie  demonstrates  the  downstrke,  up- 
stroke, full  stroke  and  tap  while  the 
appropriate  notation  for  each  stroke 
appears  on  a  comer  of  the  screen. 

Continuing  with  the  rudiments,  he 
shows  how  to  do  the  flam  which  is  a 
combination  of  the  upstroke  and  down- 
stroke.  A  drummer  too  often  makes  the 
mistake  of  "airing"  the  sticks  all  at 
once  while  doing  the  flam-accent- 
number-one.  This  looks  awkward  aside 
from  producing  the  wrong  sound  and 
rhythm.  This  can  be  corrected,  ac- 
cording to  the  demonstrator,  by  using 
a  tap  for  the  first  note  and  an  up- 
stroke, slow  and  graceful,  for  the  sec- 
ond note. 

Whether  playing  a  drum  solo  or  in 
a  concert  group,  a  drummer  is  judged 
on  his  ability  to  make  a  roll.  The  dem- 
onstrator executes  the  fundamental 
rolls  and  demonstrates  the  five-strike 
roll  on  paper  and  carbon  to  show  how 
even  the  strokes  should  be.  He  plays 
drum  music  to  illustrate  the  lerUo  and 
allegro  tempo. 

Very  often  the  drum  tone  is  criti- 
cized as  rattly  or  tinny.  The  demon- 
strator shows  how  a  misadjusted  drum 
with  either  a  loose  batter  head  or 
snare  head  or  both  produces  unsatis- 
factory sound.  Poor  sound  may  also  be 
attributed  to  the  use  of  incorrect  sticks 
such  as  large  street  sticks  on  an  orches- 
tra drum  or  small  orchestra  sticks  on  a 
large  drum. 

Appraisal 

.\  how-to-do-it  fUm,  Musical  Per- 
formance: Improvement  for  Snare 
Drum,  would  be  of  interest  to  drum 
students.  Band  directors  would  profit 
from  it  because  mistakes  as  well  as 
their  corrections  are  demonstrated. 
Definitely  not  for  beginners,  the  film 
is  aimed  at  drummers  on  the  junior 
high  school  level  through  college  who 
have  had  some  experience  and  is  to  be 
used  as  a  check  up  and  improvement 
on  their  playing. 

Though  the  film  covers  many  skills, 
it  is  well  done  and  well  explained,  be- 
sides providing  for  practice  on  the  part 


of  the  audience.  However,  in  the  clos- 
ing sequence  on  drum  adjustment  and 
use  of  sticks,  the  evaluators  are  at  a 
loss  to  know  what  is  to  be  practiced. 
Too,  the  demonstrator  could  have 
maintained  more  eye  contact  with  the 
audience.  He  seems  iU  at  ease  and 
keeps  looking  sidewise  off-screen  as  if 
he  is  being  cued,  or  down  as  if  he  is 
reading  from  a  script. 

Overall  this  film  offers  both  in- 
struction and  opportunities  for  practice 
in  the  use  of  fundamental  drum  tech- 
niques to  help  the  average  beginner 
become  a  more  skilled  performer.

ing  with  a  permanent  magnet,  the 
narrator  reviews  specific  facts  about 
magnets.  As  an  electromagnetic  crane 
is  shown  lifting  scrap  metal,  electro- 
magnets are  described  as  having  mag- 
netic properties  only  when  current  is 
Howing  through  them  as  opposed  to 
permanent  magnets  which  cannot  be 
turned  off. 

Materials  for  making  an  electro- 
magnet are  then  introduced.  A  dry 
cell  battery  is  used  as  a  safe  source  of 
electric  current,  and  pupils  are  warned 
tliat  house  current,  on  the  other  hand, 
should  never  be  used  for  experiments 
with  electricit\'.  The  battery,  wire  and 


switch  are  connected,  the  switch  is 
closed,  and  animation  is  used  to  por- 
tray the  flow  of  current  through  the 
wire. 

The  demonstrator  shows  that  a  per- 
manent magnet  will  pick  up  iron  fil- 
ings. Wire,  on  the  other  hand,  is  de- 
picted as  being  non-magnetic  until 
current  is  cau.sed  to  flow  through  it; 
then  the  wire  acts  as  a  weak  magnet. 
The  magneti.sm  in  the  wire  is  not  suffi- 
cient, however,  to  pick  up  small  nails. 
How  can  the  field  be  made  stronger? 
The  wire  is  formed  into  a  coil  to  con- 
centrate the  magnetic  field,  and  a  few 
nails  are  lifted.  The  magnetic  field  can

be  further  strengthened  by  inserting 
an  iron  core  into  the  coil  of  wire.  This 
is  demonstrated  by  the  magnet  lifting 
more  nails  once  the  core  is  inserted, 

Two  steel  weights  of  two  and  five 
pounds  respectively  are  introduced, 
and  the  electromagnet  is  strong  enough 
to  lift  the  smaller  of  the  two  weights. 
How  can  it  be  made  strong  enough 
to  lift  the  five  pound  weight? 

One  way  to  make  an  electromagnel 
stronger  is  to  increase  the  number  ol 
turns  of  wire  in  the  coil.  When  this 
has  been  done,  the  electiomagnet 
easily  lifts  the  five  pound  weight.  To 
lift  a  ten  pound  weight,  however,  it 
must  be  made  still  stronger.  This  can 
be  done  by  increasing  the  amount  of 
current  flowing  in  the  coil.  A  second 
dry  cell  battery  is  connected  in  series 
with  the  first,  and  the  electromagnel 
is  made  strong  enough  to  lift  the  ten 
pound  weight. 

The  points  covered  r^ative  to  the 
structvire  and  strengthening  of  an  elec- 
tromagnet are  reviewed.  The  crane  is 
again  pictured  as  an  application  of  tht 
electromagnet.  The  crane,  the  auto- 
matic dial  system  of  the  telephone 
the  telephone  bell  and  the  telephom 
receiver  are  pictured  as  devices  mak- 
ing use  of  electromagnets. 

To  make  the  magnetic  field  visible 
a  piece  of  i^aper  is  placed  over  a  per 
manent  magnet  and  over  an  electro 
magnet.  As  iron  filings  are  sprinklec 
over  the  pieces  of  paper,  a  definitt 
pattern  is  formed.  The  similarity  o 
the  two  patterns  is  pointed  out,  anc 
the  narrator  asks,  "Is  there  a  connec 
tion  between  electricity  and  magne 
tism?  Can  you  find  the  answer?" 

Appraisal 

The  elementary  and  junior  higl 
school  teacher  will  find  Electroinag 
nets:  How  They  Work  to  be  a  clear 
concise  presentation  of  the  principle 
underlying  the  construction  and  oper 
ation  of  electromagnets.  The  materia 
presented  is  well  organized  and  illus 
trated.  The  demonstrations  are  simple 
enough  that  students  may  want  to  tr 
them  for  themselves.  In  this  connec 
tion  the  teacher's  guide  points  out  thai 
considerable  heat  is  generated  in  thi 
wire  if  the  battery  is  left  connectef 
for  any  long  period  of  time.  The  shor 
life  of  batteries  used  in  this  type  dem 
onstration  is  also  indicated. 

Teachers  will  find  the  film  to  be  av 
excellent  introduction  to  the  study  o 
electromagnets.  It  should  serve  no 
onl\-  to  instruct,  but  the  "open-ended 
technique  should  also  encourage  fui 
ther  study  on  the  part  of  the  mor 
able  students.

Lit-Lit  Filmstrip 

What  does  Lit-Lit  mean?  It  is  the 
shorthand  for  The  Committee  on 
World  Literacy  and  Christian  Litera- 
ture of  the  National  Council  of 
Churches,  475  Riverside  Dr.,  N.Y.  27. 
This  great  organization  has  produced 

fine  filmstrip  to  tell  the  story  of 
literacy  to  children.  They  call  it  "Lit- 
Lit  Makes  Wishes  Come  True,  and  in 
good  color  photography  and  a  nicely 
composed  printed  commentary,  it 
shows  lively  children  in  all  parts  of 
the  world  and  talks  about  their  need 
to  be  taught  to  read  and  what  being 
able  to  read  really  means.  Commend- 
able job!  Script  by  Elizabeth  Allstrom 
and  the  photos  by  Floyd  Shacklock, 
Leon  Kofod  and  Marion  \'an  Home. 

The  script  is  followed  by  a  section 
of  suggestions  to  guide  the  user  in 
getting  the  most  from  this  filmstrip. 
There  are  52  frames,  and  the  utiliza- 
tion time  can  vary  from  L5  to  30 
minutes,  depending  upon  the  teaching 
techniques  employed.  Available  with 
this  filmstrip  is  a  .splendid  packet  of 
materials  on  world  literacy  and  litera- 
ture. Send  $.5.00  for  the  fs  and  add 
50c  for  the  Children's  Packet.  A  good 
buy  for  your  AV  library. 


Jews  In  U.S.S.R. 

The  Department  of  Audio-Visual 
Aids  of  the  Union  of  American  Hebrew 
Congregations  (UAHC)  has  just  re- 
leased two  more  titles  in  its  "Jews  In 
Distant  Lands"  series:  The  Soviet 
Union,  Part  1  and  Part  II.  Each  has 
50-odd  frames  of  excellent  color  photo- 
graphs and  informative  printed  com- 
mentary which  forms  but  a  part  of  a 
very  useful  guide  for  the  user. 

Part  I  shows  ghmpses  of  Jewish 
life  in  Moscow  and  Leningrad  and 
Part  II  takes  us  to  Kiev  and  Tashkent. 
In  each  of  these  sequences  there  are  a 
number  of  scenes  of  general  interest. 
These  serve  as  excellent  context  for 
pictures  of  Jewish  people  and  their 
synagogues.  With  rare  exceptions  these 
scenes  show  only  old  (Jewish)  people. 
No  schools  or  organizations  for  Jewish 
youth  under  18  are  permitted  by  the 
Soviet  government,  and  this  rule  is 
vigorously  enforced.  Everything  must 
center  in  synagogue  worship  and  there 


are  no  clubs  for  men  and  women  as 
in  the  U.S.A. 

I  found  these  two  filmstrips  inter- 
esting. They  filled  a  gap  in  my  in- 
formation about  the  life  of  a  minority 
group  on  the  USSR.  They  might  do 
the  same  for  you.  I  recommend  them 
for  use  with  young  people  and  adults 
in  church  and  synagogue.  They  should 
stimulate  sober  thinking,  further  in- 
vestigation, and  deep  gratitude  for  the 
blessed  freedom  we  have  in  our  land 
to  worship  and  to  teach.  From  UAHC

Documentary 

Epistle  From  The  Koreans  is  a  35- 
minute  b&w  film  produced  by  the  De- 
partment of  Stewardship  and  Pro- 
motion (DSP)  of  the  United  Presby- 
terian Church  in  the  USA,  475  River- 
side Dr.,  N.Y.  27.  It  is  widely  avail- 
able to  UP  churches  through  presby- 
tery and  synod  offices  and  from  DSP. 

In  moving  scenes  it  tells  the  story, 
via  the  documentary  method,  of  the 
young  Korean  student,  In  Ho  Oh,  who 
was  brutally  murdered  in  the  spring 
of  1958  in  Philadelphia  and  of  the 
letter  from  the  parents  to  the  city 
asking  that  it  deal  leniently  with  the 
murderers  and  offering  funds  for  their 
rehabilitation  thru  education. 

In  the  film  we  have  the  whole  story, 
with  a  little  too  much  realism  here 
and  there— the  minder  scene,  for  in- 
stance. We  doubt  if  pictured  brutality 
can  edify.  Knowing  what  to  include 
and  leave  out  is  the  essence  of  the  art 
of  the  documentary  film,  and  this  art 
takes  the  measure  of  all  who  would 
use  it,  from  client  right  on  through 
producer  and  director.  All  this  material 
could  have  been  compressed,  it  seems 
to  this  reviewer,  into  a  28-minute  film 
to  considerable  cinematic  and  utiliza- 
tion advantage. 

Despite  the  above  comments  it  is 
a  useful  film  for  general  congregation- 
al use  and  for  use  with  young  people. 
The  utilization  guide,  excellent  in 
every  respect,  was  written  by  the  Rev. 
Arthur  M.  Byers,  Jr.,  who  acted  as 
executive  producer.  It  can  help  any 
user  to  a  fruitful  presentation  of  the 
film. 


They  Did,  Indeed 

Adapted  from  the  book  by  the  same 
title,  the  film  They  Looked  for  A  City 
tells  the  incredible  but  true  story  of  a 
Jewish-Christian  family  in  Eastern 
Europe  and  its  bitter  struggle  to  sur- 
vive and  find  a  place  of  refuge.  From 
death  under  the  sabres  of  Russian 
Cossacks  to  death  under  the  London 
blitz,  we  follow  via  excellent  photog- 
graphy  and  a  fine  story  telling  the 
fortimes,  calamities,  triumphs  and 
trials  of  a  remarkable  family  whose 
faith  in  the  God  of  Abraham  and 
Christ  never  weakened.  Excellent 
feature-type  film  for  church  groups, 
especially  on  Sunday  nights.  It  has 
45  minutes  running  time,  leaving  with- 
in the  hour  time  to  give  it  a  context  of 
scripture,  hymns  and  prayer.  Mrs. 
Victor  Buksbazen,  author  of  the  book, 
and  her  husband,  with  the  help  of  a 
good  professional  cast,  have  produced 
a  fine  and  useful  film.  From  Friends 
of  Israel  Missionary  and  Relief  Society,

phia 7,  Pa.  Rental  $25.00. 


Planned  Families 

If  culture  is  the  coefficient  of  the 
human  cortex,  then  planned  families 
ought  to  make  a  lot  of  cerebral  sense. 
But  such  is  not  always  the  ca.se,  as  we 
see  in  the  I4'/i  minute  film  Fair 
Chance,  It  is  the  story  of  two  fathers. 
They  meet  in  the  corridor  of  the 
maternity  wing  of  a  hospital.  One  is 
calm;  his  daughter  was  planned  for 
and  has  just  arrived.  The  other  is  in 
panic,  delayed  labor,  young  children 
at  home,  bills. 

The  calm  one  invites  the  other  to 
have  a  cup  of  coffee  and  learn  how, 
with  the  proper  help,  families  can  be 
planned.  Of  course,  all  the  information 
in  the  film  is  about  the  need  for  plan- 
ning for  children  through  the  securing 
and  use  of  medical  knowledge.  Good 
film  for  that  purpose.  Board  spectrum 
of  usefulness:  churches,  schools,  social 
and  welfare  agencies,  colleges,  etc.

Now,  Really! 

Quite  a  'famiK'  of  films  have  been 
produced  on  the  general  subject  of 
Prejudice.  Some  show  what  it  is; 
others  miss  the  mark.  Some  try  to  go 
clever  and  flop.  Some  try  the  arty  tack 
and  take  a  tumble  from  effectiveness.

natural  rights  of  man  and  show  what 
each  man  can  do  about  maintaining 
them.  But  the  intellectual  powder  was 
a  bit  damp,  it  seems  to  me,  and  the 
film  just  sputtered  without  any  bang 
of  real  meaning.  I  could  be  wrong,  of 
course.  I  just  don't  see  either  children 
or  youth  or  adults— as  I  know  them— 
getting  much  but  bland  entertainment 
out  of  this  package. 

A  Day  In  The  Night  of  Jonathan 
Mole  is  not  quite  the  same  as  the 
above.  It  is  clever  and  dramatic  in 
structure,  and  tells  a  fantastic  story 
of  Mr.  Mole,  super-patriot,  who 
dreams  he  is  in  the  land  of  "Adanac." 
There  he  sits  as  a  judge  in  a  trial.  A 
Jew  wants  to  be  a  broker  on  the  stock 
exchange,  an  Indian  wants  to  be  a 
physician  and  an  immigrant  wants  to 
be  a  journeyman  plumber— all  in  viola- 
tion of  the  basic  law  of  this  whimsical 
Adanac  land.  Prosecution  and  Defense 
bring  out  all  the  fantastic  arguments 
(of  the  prejudiced  man  and  his  soci- 
ety) which  define  and  delimit  the 
human  status  of  these  three  men. 

Called  to  the  stand  are  Mrs.  Plati- 
tude, Mr.  Shortsight,  Mr.  Parrott, 
Elmer  Bigot  and  others.  What  a  trial 
it  is!  At  last  Mole  renders  his  decision 
—against  the  defendants,  just  like  he 
would  in  the  daylight  Adanac,  or 
C-a-n-a-d-a!  No  change;  so  he  stum- 
bles off  to  his  job  next  morning  the 
same  Old  Mole,  but  we  may  go  back 
to  our  jobs  with  the  evidence  of  the 
trial  vividly  in  our  minds,  and  not 
soon  wiU  we  forget  the  faces  of  the 
defendants.  With  all,  a  pretty  good 
job;  way  above  the  average.  From

Moral  Guidance  Filmstrips 

Tom  goes  swimming  when  his 
mother  advises  against  it;  Helen  thinks 
a  new  girl  in  the  community,  whom 
she  scarcely  knows,  is  stuck  up;  and 
Alan  finds  out  that  bad  manners  don'l 
pay  whUe  good  ones  do.  The  titles  are: 
Tom  Misses  a  Picnic,  Janet  Finds  A 
Friend  and  Alan  Minds  His  Manners 
These  are  from  "Adventures  in  Per- 
sonality Development"  by  Creative 
Education,  Inc.,  and  are  available 
through  the  International  Film  Bureaa 
57  E.  Jackson  Blvd.,  Chicago  4,  lU. 

These  are  captioned  filmstrips  with 
live  color  photography.  Each  fUmstrip 
the  producer  says,  deals  with  young 
people  making  decisions  about  right 
and  wrong,  and  the  user  is  advised,  at 
the  beginning  of  each  filmstrip,  tc 
discuss  the  things  that  interest  tht 
class  most. 

It  is  good  to  see  captions  used 
There  is  nothing  wrong  with  caption.* 
per  se.  There  can  be  a  lot  wrong  wit! 
particular  captions.  Dialogue  is  no) 
good  in  captions,  it  seems  to  me 
especially  where  a  story  is  being  told 
Why  not  cast  it  into  narration?  It 
makes  for  smoother  flow  of  the  story 

Again,  the  producer  counseled  the 
user  to  discuss  as  he  goes.  Discus^ 
what?  I  saw  nothing  worth  stopping 
for;  nothing  urgent  emerged  in  mj 
screen.  All  I  saw  was  lightweight  mat- 
ters of  prudence  rather  than  serious 
moral  problems. 

The  locale  of  the  homes  is  upper* 
suburbia;  the  target  audience  seema 
to  be  Juniors— where  the  'issues'  wouk? 
fit— but  the  'actors'  in  the  fs  look  lik«' 
late  Junior  Hi  youth.  My  young  people 
would  not  take  the  subject  mattei 
seriously.  Perhaps  they  are  differen 
in  the  public  schools.  General  evalua 
tion:  Not  very  potential  for  churcl 
use.

Stability  Vs  Volatility 

It  has  often  been  said,  particularly 
n  the  field  of  the  motion  picture  pro- 
ector,  that  today's  machine  is  so  very 
Tiuch  like  those  of  many  years  ago 
that  there  is  an  indication  of  design 
"reezing.  We  have  heard  accusations 
ii  mental  stagnation,  of  failure  to 
ntrodiice  new  ideas  to  save  film  wear 
ind  tear  and  of  plain  downright 
ilmost  smug  satisfaction  with  "that 
ivhich  is"  to  the  end  that  technical, 
mechanical  progress  in  film  projection 
has  been  at  a  standstill. 

This  is  unfair!  Unquestionably  every 
major  manufacturer  of  equipment  has 
setter  means  of  film  transport,  superior 
film  gates  and  higher  quality  picture 
ind  sound  projection.  Every  effort  is 
made  to  improve  equipment— even  to 
redesign  equipment— to  be  beneficial 
to  schools.  The  vast  library  of  16mm 
sound  films,  each  of  which  was  pro- 
duced to  be  projected  on  a  'standard' 
machine  at  a  'standard'  speed  must 
limit  the  potential  of  such  research. 

And  yet  if  a  new  machine  came  on 
the  market  immediately  embodying 
entirely  new  principles  of  film  move- 
ment it  would  die  aborning  because 
we,  as  schoolmen,  would  immediately 
denounce  it  because  the  library  of 
available  materials  would  have  to  be 
re-made  at  great  cost.  True,  the  cost 
would  fall  on  the  producer,  but  it 
would  be  passed  on  to  the  schools  in 
higher  sales  prices,  higher  rental 
prices  and  the  great  costs  of  conver- 
sion. No!  It  is  not  any  one  group's 
failure  which  has  caused  this  stand- 
ardization; rather  it  is  the  nature  of 
the  medium  and  the  great  costs  and 
risks  involved  and  inherent  in  any 
change. 

Audio  equipment,  on  the  other 
hand,  has  been  anything  but  stagnant. 
And  additional  changes  are  forecast. 
Does  this  mean  that  we  will  (or  did?) 
stop  buying  the  materials  we  needed? 
No  ...  it  meant  that  we  adapted 
rapidly  and  successfully  to  changes. 

Let's  examine  the  record  of  those 
changes.  We  need  go  back  only  a 
generation  ago  to  find  that  there  were 
no  magnetic  recorders  available  to 
schools.  There  were  universally  dis- 
liked and  distrusted  disc  recorders 
which  none  of  us  used  to  any  great 
extent.  And  there  were  central  sound 
systems  which  were  instructional 
monstrosities,  mere  pieces  of  furniture. 


And  finally,  there  were  recordings. 
These  were  in  short  supply  in  terms 
of  variety,  they  were  delicate  and 
fragile,  being  easily  broken  as  well  as 
rapidly  worn  out,  and  they  lasted  too 
short  a  time  for  effective  instructional 
use.  Still,  schools  bought  them  and 
used  them  for  there  are  ever  pioneers 
in  struction. 

These  recordings  were  of  the  old 
'78'  variety.  They  were  shellac  and, 
unlike  a  famous  brand  of  coffee,  'good 
to  the  first  drop'  only.  True,  there 
were  automatic  record  changers,  but 
even  these  were  unreliable  and  many 
records  were  chipped  sliding  down  a 
spindle,  or  as  the  three  ounce  or 
heavier  tone  arm  plopped  into  place. 

Then  came  the  introduction  of  LP 
records-both  33  1/3  and  78  rpm. 
This,  it  was  forecast,  would  either  rev- 
olutionize the  record  industry  and 
immediately  antiquate  every  78  rpm 
machine,  or  it  would  introduce  the 
ultimate  decline  and  downfall  of  the 
industry.  Obviously,  looking  backward, 
we  know  that  pessimism  was  un- 
realistic. We  know  that  schools  bought 
machines— and  more  machines— and 
that  the  old  phonographs  were  not 
antiquated—  they  were  jimked! 

Realistic  observers  today  predict 
the  early  demise  of  the  78  rpm  speed! 
And  we  are  not  inclined  to  disagree, 
for  practically  every  recording  today 
is  produced  at  33  1/3  rpm.  To  appease 
phonograph  record  collectors,  for  a 
while,  records  were  produced  at  three 
.speeds-78,  33  1/3  and  45.  But  no 
longer. 


Automatic  record  changers  have 
changed,  and  now  the  record  is  pro- 
tected through  superior  changers  and 
through  the  internal  manufacture  of 
the  disc  itself.  Vinylite  has  replaced 
shellac  and  now  to  clean  records  you 
merely  dip  them  in  appropriate  water/ 
soap  solution  and  'drip-dry'  them!  We 
could  go  on,  but  suffice  it  to  say  that 
record  longevity  is  now  guaranteed, 
barring  too  rough  treatment,  by  super- 
ior materials,  superior  pressing,  thick- 
ened lips  to  give  added  strength  and 
tone  arms  whose  pressure  is  measured 
now  in  grams  as  against  ounces  of  not 
so  many  years  ago. 

So  the  record  industry  was  reborn 
through  modernization  and  today 
every  school,  or  nearly  so,  has  record 
players  as  well  as  record  collections  to 
speed  and  enrich  learning. 

And  along  came  a  new  development 
—magnetic  recording!  This  was  first 
introduced  as  wire  recording  ...  re- 
member? These  were  spool  driven  and 
there  was  constant  speed  only  at  the 
hub  of  the  take-up  reel.  If  you  never 
untangled  a  'bird's  nest'  of  your  favor- 
ite wire  recording,  you  were  fortunate. 
And  repair  of  the  broken  wire  was  so 
simple!  Just  tie  a  bow  (preferably  a 
square  knot  because  a  'granny'  might 
slip)  in  the  wire  and  then  anneal  it 
with  the  end  of  a  cigarette.  Long 
after  World  War  II  major  companies 
were  trying  to  redesign  and  improve 
the  wire  recorder  for  the  school 
market. 

Early  'Portables' 

But  magnetic  tape  took  over.  And 
there  were  a  few  machines  on  the 
market— a  very  few.  We  can  recall 
stopping  off  in  Cleveland  and  marvel- 
ling at  the  first  'push-button'  machine 
developed  by  Brush  which  later  be- 
came a  temporary  standard  for  the 
schools.  This  was  a  portable  machine 
—requiring  two  men  and  a  small  truck 
to  transport  it—  but  we  are  reliably

informed  that  some  of  these  are  still 
in  use!  They  were  rugged. 

Tape  speed:  this  was  academic. 
There  was  a  choice  between  7.5  ips 
and  runaway.  And  sometimes  they  did 
just  that  spewing  tape  all  over.  And 
then  you  quietly  rewound  a  thousand 
feet  of  tape  by  hand.  Dual  track?  Un- 
heard of.  We  could  go  on  with  de- 
scription of  the  early  magnetic  re- 
corders, and  we  must  say  that  they 
were  magnificent  developments. 

Today's  machine?  You  know  it  well. 
Rugged  and  yet  lightweight.  Speeds? 
7.5  ips  is  still  available  but  now  you 
can  range  upwards  to  15,  30  and  even 
60  inches  per  second.  Not  practical 
for  school  purposes,  but  they  are 
available.  Yet,  7.5  is  still  available  but 
you  can  range  downward  too,  to  3.7.5 
and  1 .875  ips.  And  these  have  become 
practical. 

Progress  Made 

Improvements  in  the  medium?  Of 
course  there  are  new  materials  used 
for  tape  base,  and  surely  more  will 
come.  We  have  progressed  from  the 
old  paper  tape  through  a  variety  of 
materials  to  superior  quality  tape 
media  generally  available,  and  much 
less  expensive.  As  improvements  have 
happened  and  been  developed,  so 
prices  have  changed  because  there  has 
been  greater  circulation,  more  intense 
competition  and  increased  school  sav- 
ings. 

But  this  was  guessed  at  15  years 
ago! 

These  developments  in  audio  equip- 
ment were  paralleled  in  visual  equip- 
ment in  the  early  days  of  the  motion 
picture.  Does  your  school  still  boast 
of  owning  a  single  motion  picture 
projector?  Is  it  a  'carbon-arc'  type? 
Does  it  use  (as  well  as  tear  and  burn) 
only  35mm  film?  Is  it  a  silent  ma- 
chine? If  so,  then  you  may  well  com- 
plain about  lack  of  change.  But  if  you 


are  using  modern  non-flammable  color 
film  in  an  easily  threaded  16mm  pro- 
jector in  your  classroom  (sound  of 
course),  then  please  recognize  that 
there  have  been  changes,  many 
changes.  And  guess  with  me  that  there 
will  be  more,  many  more  .  .  .  like 
8mm  sound  on  film  (almost  here) 
and  video  tape  (as  close). 

One  which  is  forecast  reliably  in 
the  field  of  sound  recording  is  a  new 
cartridge  type  of  tape,  mounted  on 
an  automatic  changer,  using  tape  less 
than  one-seventh  of  an  inch  wide, 
with  dual  track  for  stereo  of  course, 
traveling  at  a  tape  speed  of  1.875  in- 
ches per  second  and  satisfying  the 
quality  demands  of  the  most  critical 
listeners.  Yes,  this  is  forecast  for  early 
presentation,  and  indeed  commercial 
models,  it  is  hoped,  may  be  available 
for  school  and  home  use  early  in  1961. 
Such  machines,  using  the  cartridges 
designed  for  them,  will  hold  up  to  six 
hours  of  continuous  sound  and  all 
that  one  need  do  is  press  the  start 
button,  adjust  the  volume  and  tone 
controls,  and  that  will  be  it.  Talk  about 
push-button   teaching! 

There  are  changes  of  a  non-tech- 
nical nature  forecast  in  disc  recording, 
too.  Just  as  Columbia  has  sought  a 
national  distributor  for  their  product, 
and  as  Ottenheimer  has  undertaken  a 
similar  arrangement,  so  we  can  antici- 
pate that  major  record  companies  and 
minors  as  well  will  be  nationally  rep- 
resented by  school-to-school  sales- 
men representing  a  variety  of  printed 
and  audiovisual  materials.  There  is 
an  undercover  scramble  going  for- 
ward to  line  up  the  better  record 
producers  and  the  finest  product  for 
exclusive  representation.  We  will  not 
be  surprised  if,  within  weeks  or 
months  at  the  most,  we  suddenly  dis- 
cover that  the  man  who  used  to  repre- 
sent films,  filmstrips,  projectors,  rec- 
ord players  and   tape  recorders  in  a

Isn't  a  major  film/filmstrip  produ 
er  with  exclusive  national  sales  orgar 
zation  quietly  talking  with  several  re 
ord  producers  in  the  effort  to  creai 
an  exclusive  distributor/sales  set-u 
for  such  products?  In  fact,  there 
bidding  afoot  as  one  competes  wil 
the  other  for  this  new  line  to  sell. 

Book  firms  are  involved  in  this,  toi 
Harcomt,  Brace,  American  Book  Con 
pany,  Allyn  and  Bacon  and  others  ai 
in  the  audiovisual  manufacture  an 
distribution  business  more  than  ank] 
deep.  And  tliey,  too,  will  become  in 
portant  factors  in  this  market.  And  a 
of  this  bodes  well  for  the  schools,  fc 
as  the  product  is  bettered,  as  the  con 
petition  becomes  keener  and  as  read 
availability  is  common  rather  tha 
rare,  prices  will  be  affected. 

There  are  good  times  ahead!  Th 
is  based  on  relative  volatility,  not  stf 
bility.  It  is  a  volatile  product  and  a 
explosive  market.  And  we,  the  coi 
sumers,  stand  to  profit  most  from  th 
combination  involving  distribution  an 
competition.

The  Cover  Scene 

This  figure  has  been  carved  out  of 
stone  by  an  Eskimo  artist.  The  film 
The  Eskimo  in  Life  and  Legend— the 
Living  Stone  deals  with  his  art  pur- 
suits and  depicts  the  seal  hunting  ac- 
tivities of  the  Baffin  Islands  inhabi- 
tants. Photographed  by  Film  Board 
of  Canada.  Produced  by  Encyclopae- 
da  Britannica  Films.

chewan. His  pioneering  efforts  in  vis-

tion and  has  reorganized  and  modern- 
ized the  visual  activities  of  the  De- 
partment of  Education.

This  movie  is  really 

sharp!  Not  a  light 

leak  anywhere. 

REASON:  The  windows  in  this  room 
are  light-controlled  with  Flexalum 
Audio-Visual  Blinds.  These  blinds 
make  any  room  theatre-dark  anytime. 
Here's  why:  (1)  more  slats  per  height 
plus  (2)  patented  notch  in  each  slat 
that  permits  adjacent  slats  to  touch, 
equals  (3)  no  between-slot  light  leaks. 
(4)  Light-trap  channels  eliminate 
around-the-edge  light  leaks. 


11:20  A.M. 

Back  to  groupwork. 

Full  daylight, 
instantly— no  glare. 

REASON:  Nothing  to  take  down, 
nothing  to  tug  bock.  No  wasted 
money  for  multiple  coverings,  no 
wasted  classroom  minutes.  Flexalum 
Audio-Visual  Blinds  do  the  whole  job 
—  taking  you  from  projection  dark- 
ness to  full  light  (or  anything  in 
between)  with  just  a  flick  of  a  nylon 
cord.  The  plastic  lined  side  channels 
eliminate  all  noisy  flutter!

Graflex  School  Master. 

School  Masters  provide  an  unusually  high  screen

not  completely  darkened  (saves  buying  room-darken- 
ing devices)  and,  (2)  is  easier  on  young  eyes,  more 
effective  on  young  minds.

as  a  unit  for  easy  cleaning  •  Threading  and  framing  is 
easy  •  Exclusive  built-in  handle  facilitates  carrying  • 
A  line  of  accessories  that  increases  the  use  and  the 
value  (but  not  the  cost)  of  the  School  Master — makes 
it  the  most  flexible  piece  of  equipment  in  your  instruc-

HOW  TO  TEACH  MORE 
EFFECTIVELY  WITH  AN 

)VERHEAD  TBANSPARENCY 

PROJECTOR 

in  important  visual  aids  primer  --  clip  and  save  it 

s  a  person  who  uses  and  is  often  called  upon  to  advise 
n  the  selection  of  visual  aids  equipment,  it  is  essential 
hat  you  become  familiar  with  the  many  advantages  of  over- 
lead  projection  techniques — how  it  can  make  your  teaching 
!ven  more  effective,  how  it  helps  the  student  to  grasp  and  to 
etain  ideas,  how  it  increases  the  scope  of  your  subject  matter. 


For  many  teachers  the  prime  ad- 
mtage  of  the  overhead  transparency 
rejector  is  the  fact  that  it  is  the 
nly  type  of  projection  equipment 
lat  is  designed  to  be  operated  in 
road  daylight.  The  ordinary  class- 
)oni  becomes  a  theater  without  turn- 
ig  out  the  lights  or  drawing  the 
lades.  Of  course,  you  must  have  a 
roj  actor  that  provides  the  maximum 

reen  light  required  to  retain  detail 
id  color.  Projection  Optics'  Trans- 
ique  Jr.,  for  instance,  provides  up 
)  three  times  more  light  on  the 
;reen  than  any  other  projector  of 
tyjje.  Transpaque  Jr.'s  exclusive 
ptical  system  has  completely  elimi- 
ated  a  serious  overhead  projection 
roblem  —  the  distracting  rings  that 
ave  always  appeared  on  the  screen. 

Tp-Front  Projection 

With  this  teaching  tool,  both  you 
nd  the  projector  are  at  the  head  of 
le  class.  As  you  teach,  you  face  your 
udents.  You  can  gauge  their  re- 
ctions,  spot  questions  immediately; 
udents  can  take  notes  and  you  can 
fer  to  yours.  Remember,  the  lights 
re  on!  In  short,  with  the  Trans- 
aque  Jr.  you  retain  all  the  advan- 
iges  of  a  classroom  environment. 

The  very  small  profile  of  Trans- 
aque  Jr.,   especially   the  projection 


head,  makes  every  seat  usable.  There 
is  nothing  obstructing  your  view  of 
the  class.  Every  student  is  able  to 
see  both  you  and  the  screen.  The 
more  compact  Transpaque  Jr.  is  also 
easily  portable. 

Superimpose  transparency  over 
transparency,  building  a  progressive 
story  before  the  eyes  of  your  class. 
Transpaque  Jr.  retains  the  brilliance 


TRANSPAQUE  OPTICAL 
SYSTEM 


and  color  even  through  multi-colored 
overlays.  Each  transparency  has  a 
large  10"  x  10"  format.  You  can 
tailor-make  them  yourself,  simply 
and  inexpensively.  You  can  buy  them 
already  prepared,  covering  a  multi- 
tude of  subjects. 

Write  As  You  Speak 

To  create  large  screen  images  of 
your  notes  or  ideas,  just  write  in 
your  normal  size  script  on  a  trans- 
parency. It  is  projected  as  you  write, 


just  behind  you  on  the  screen.  You 
can  draw  lines,  write  clarifying  re-

William  Lewin 


The  passing  of  William  Lewin,  vet- 
eran educator-publicist,  at  71,  repre- 
sents a  grievous  loss  to  the  audiovisual 
movement  to  which  he  devoted  long 
and  dedicated  servive.  He  will  be  best 
remembered  as  editor-publisher  of 
Audio-  Visual  Guide,  merged  in  1956 
with  Educational  Screen  to  form  this 
publication. 

Yet  this  magazine  was  but  one  facet 
of  his  many  AV  activities,  the  means 
rather  than  the  end  in  effectuating  a 
lifelong  phQosophy  that  saw  the  mo- 
tion picture  in  all  its  forms  as  the  ma- 
jor communication  of  our  culture. 

Contemporaries  privileged  to  know 
his  work  will  recognize  four  of  his 
many  contributions  as  especially  sig- 
nificant: 

( 1 )  His  leadership  in  the  photo- 
play appreciation  movement  was  re- 
flected in  his  doctoral  thesis  Photo- 
play Appreciation  in  American  High 
Schools,  in  his  original  film  study 
courses  and  in  his  publication  of  the 
long  series  of  detailed,  illustrated 
photoplay  discussion  guides  that  ap- 
peared in  virtually  every  issue  of  his 
magazine.  There  were,  reportedly,  ten 
million  reprints  of  250  such  guides 
put  into  circulation. 


William  Lewin 


(2)  His  recommendations  to  ER- 
PI,  after  completing  a  nation-wide 
test  of  their  initial  sound  films,  that 
these  be  brought  much  closer  to  the 
curriculum,  even  to  the  extent  of  buy- 
ing motion  picture  rights  to  widely 
accepted  textbooks,  were  not  follow- 
ed. Had  they  been,  better  films  might 
have  been  made— much  sooner. 

(3)  Under  sponsorship  of  the  De- 
partment of  Secondary  Teachers, 
NEA,  which  he  served  as  president  in 
1949,  he  initiated  the  National  Audio- 
visual Education  Week  movement, 
officially  proclaimed  by  governors  and 
mayors  from  coast  to  coast,  and  tied 
in  with  his  National  Audiovisual 
Awards  and  "pilot"  school  demonstra- 
tion center  projects.  While  the  goal  of 
.500  such  centers  may  not  have  been 
reached,  enough  came  into  being  to 
provide  an  almost  inexhaustible  flow 
of  local  case  histories  of  praiseworthy 
AV  achievement  to  enliven  a  long  se- 
quence of  magazine  issues. 

His  steering  committee  and  other 
organization  forms  drew  the  coopera- 
tion of  A-V  activists  on  all  levels. 
When  some  AV  professionals  gave 
this  effort  less  than  complete  endorse- 
ment, particularly  that  phase  which 
rewarded  pilot  school  "winners"  with 
some  $40,000  worth  of  equipment 
and  other  materials  donated  for  this 
purpose  by  commercial  interests,  he 
rejected  this  criticism  with— "Let  us 
not  be  hindered  by  self-seeking  peda- 
gogical politicians  nor  by  educational 
isolationists  in  ivory  towers." 

(4)  His  sustained  publication  of 
Who's  Who  in  Audiovisual  Education, 
a  series  of  almost  100  pen  pictures  of 
active  workers  in  this  field,  is  today  a 
priceless  reservoir  of  historical  data. 
At  the  time  of  publication,  it  provided 
a  means  of  getting  acquainted  with 
many  AV  co-workers  who  might  other- 
wi.se  never  have  "met."  This  "Who's 
Who"  series  reflected  clearly  Lewin 's 
basic  concept  of  the  one-ness  of  the 
entire  audiovisual  medium.  Campus 
and  commerce  were  included  side  by 
side;  he  published  a  parallel  (though 
smaUer)  Who's  Who  in  Radio  Educa- 
tion, and  made  a  beginning  of  similar 
coverage  of  television  education. 

Front  covers  of  his  magazine  usualK- 
carried  an  attention-getting  picture 
from  a  current  theatrical  feature  film, 
generally  one  receiving  discussion 
guide   treatment   in    the    same   issue. 


Emphasis  was  on  discussion.  The 
magazine  originally  called  Group  Dis- 
cussion Guide  was  later  named  Film 
and  Radio  Discussion  Guide,  with  side 
boxes  specifying  "Radio  and  Newspa- 
per" and  "Film  and  Theatre." 

Truly,  here  was  a  man  of  many 
sides.  High  school  teacher,  publisher 
prolific  writer,  non-conformist  in  some 
of  the  professional  organization  nice- 
ties, strong-willed,  utterly  unsparing 
of  his  strength  and  talents,  often  mis- 
understood and  .sometimes  misunder- 
standing, a  man  who  gave  his  idl- al- 
ways—to  his  cause,  the  cause  of  audio- 
visual communication. 


In-School  Study  of  French 
Via  TV  Now  Under  Way 

"Parlous  Francais,"  the  first  in 
school  course  of  instruction  ever  of 
fered  on  a  national  basis  via  television 
was  inaugurated  in  September  on  If 
educational  TV  stations  throughout 
the  United  States.  The  program  it 
being  sponsored  by  Louis  de  Roche- 
mont  Associates. 

The  series  will  be  distributee 
through  the  facilities  of  the  non-profii 
National  Education  Television  anc 
Radio  Center. 

It  was  tried  last  year  on  an  experi- 
mental basis  over  Boston's  WGBH-T\ 
when  it  was  telecast  into  1,200  class- 
rooms  with  35,000  youngsters  par- 
ticipating.

Dr.  Mees,  Science  Pioneer 
and  Eastman  VP,  Dies  at  78 

Dr.  C.  E.  Kenneth  Mees,  inter- 
nationally famous  scientist  and  retired 
vice  president  for  research  for  East- 
man Kodak  Company,  died  August 
15  in  Honolulu,  Hawaii,  where  he  had 
lived  since  his  retirement  in  1955.  He 
was   78. 

One  of  the  pioneers  of  American 
industrial  science,  Dr.  Mees  had  guid- 
ed Eastman  Kodak  research  for  nearly 
44  years  following  his  organization  of 
Kodak  Research  Laboratories  for  the 
company  in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  in  I9I2. 

Known  for  his  work  in  photographic 
science  and  as  an  authority  on  com- 
plex color  photography  processes.  Dr. 
Mees  has  also  been  cited  as  the 
"warm  -  hearted  and  understanding 
friend  of  the  ordinary  snapshooter," 
the  man  who  knows  little  of  photo- 
graphy but  simply  wants  a  good  pic- 
ture of  family  and  friends. 


How  training  device  techniques  used  in  aircraft  and  missiles  industry  could 
be  applied  to  the  academic  field  was  studied  by  Ciaremiint  (Calif.)  College

Field,"  page  553. 


A  HE  17th  annual  international 
conference  on  the  use  of  audiovisual 
comunication  media,  held  on  the  Uni- 
versity of  Colorado  campus  August 
17-23,  put  special  emphasis  on  im- 
proved training  for  AV  workers  on 
all  levels,  from  local  church  to  inter- 
national agencies.  The  conference,  in 
its  final  summation,  recomended  hold- 
ing specialized  "convocations"  for 
area,  denominational  and  national  AV 
specialists,  with  an  agenda  limited  to 
training  matters. 

Next  year's  AV  "consultation,"  how- 
ever, will  follow  the  traditional  pat- 
tern of  fellowship  and  joint  study  of 
AV  concerns  common  to  all  religious 
education  workers  from  local  church 
to  top  agencies,  and  including  also 
equipment  manufacturers  and  materi- 
als producers.  This  will  be  held  at 
Green  Lake,  Wisconsin,  September 
3-9,  1961. 

Attendance  at  the  Colorado  meet- 
ing was  by  invitation  extended  by 
the  Department  of  Audiovisual  and 
Broadcast  Education  of  the  National 
Council  of  Churches  to  150  leading 
AV   activists;    145   attended. 

James  D.  Finn,  president  of  Depart- 
ment of  Audiovisual  Instruction,  NEA, 
keynoter  at  the  opening  session,  spoke 
of  new  electronic  devices  used  in 
industry   and   secular   education.

Colorado  and  Syracuse  universities, 
respectively,  led  tlie  general  sessions 
on  communication  philosophy  and 
techniques.  Their  extensive  use  of  all 
kinds  of  visualization  devices  in  their 
own  presentations  helped  set  a  pat- 
tern for  virtually  all  the  rest  of  tlie 
program. 

The  overhead  projector  was  most 
extensively  used,  although  many  of 
its  projections  were  verbal  rather  than 
pictorial  or  symbolic.  Effectively  used 
al.so  were  motion  pictures,  filmstrips, 
flannel  boards,  presentation  easels, 
blackboards,  and  realia  that  included 
even  a  barnyard  shovel  brought  in 
by  the  chaplain,  the  Rev.  Malcolm 
Boyd,  who  conducted  the  daily  vesper 
services. 

Surveys  conducted  among  regional 
and  denominational  AV  centers  on 
their  training  practices  and  results 
were  discussed  in  detail  by  small  work 
groups.  The  plenary  session  concurred 
in  their  recomendations  that  utiliza- 
tion training  by  developed  for  each 
of  the  three  major  levels  of  church 
work    (local,   regional   and   national). 

Emphasis  was  i^laced  on  bettering 
the  use  of  the  existing  materials  now 
admittedly    in    excellent    supply    and 


good  ((uality.  At  the  local  church  and 
council  level  there  is  to  be  stress  on 
operational  skills  and  on  .selection  and 
evaluation  of  materials.  This  would 
continue  into  the  training  of  the  reg- 
ional cadres  but  with  he:ivier  em- 
phasis on  learning  and  communication 
theory,  knowledge  of  AV  resources 
and  familiarity  with  training  tech- 
niques. These  requirements,  in  turn, 
would  extend  up  into  the  training 
programs  for  national  leadership,  witli 
such  added  subjects  as  contemporary 
research  and  technological  develop- 
ments. 

Among  the  leaders  in  the  various

An  innovation  at  this  year's  meet- 
ing was  a  series  of  film  "analyses  in 
depth"  by  psychologist  Dr.  Elaine 
Tracy  and  the  chaplain,  the  Rev.  Mal- 
colm Boyd.  They  discussed  in  con- 
siderable detail  the  psychological  and 
moralistic  overtones  in  the  story  treat- 
ment and  characterizations  by  the  two 
analysts,  and  this  discussion  was  con- 
tinued actively  by  the  audience.  The 
entire  program  of  this  year's  "con- 
sultation" was  marked  by  maximum 
audience  participation  and  by  a  un- 
animous concern  for  better  usage  of 
audiovisuals  in  all  levels  of  church 
work.

Trolinger  Tape  Added  to  AV  Archives 


Reminiscences  of  early  days  in  the 
audiovisual  activities  at  the  University 
of  Colorado  were  recorded  in  a  taped 
interview  with  Miss  Lelia  Trolinger, 
who  headed  this  work  from  1923  imtil 
her  retirement  in  1956.  Her  succes.sor. 
Dr.  Robert  deKiefer,  introduced  the 
interview,  and  William  F.  Kruse, 
DA VI  archivist,  guided  Miss  Trolinger 
in  telling  her  story. 

In  1923  a  young  mathematics 
teacher  who  came  to  the  Boulder 
campus  for  her  degree  and  stayed  on 
to  teach  in  the  local  high  school, 
somewhat  hesitantly  took  the  job  of 
secretary  of  the  university  extension 
division's  Bureau  of  Visual  Instruction. 
Intending  to  try  it  "for  just  a  year" 
(especially  since  the  pay  was  lower 
than  that  of  a  math  teacher),  she 
came  in  just  in  time  to  be  sent  to  the 
NEA  convention  at  which  DAVI 
achieved  departmental  status.  Later, 
during  World  War  II,  she  served  as 
national  secretary-treasurer  of  the  de- 
partment. 


Hale,  hearty  and  jolly,  "Trolly" 
maintains  an  active  well-wisher  inter- 
est in  the  great  growth  of  the  depart- 
ment she  headed  so  many  years,  an 
inspiration  to  the  younger  cadres  now 


Prior  to  taping  of  recollection,  memories:

carrying  on  the  ever-expanding  work. 
CCTV,  tape  duplicating  services,  and 
vastK'  increased  resources  of  materials 
of  all  kinds  have  burgeoned  since  her 
retirement,  but  the  helpful-to-all  phi- 
losophy of  her  department  remains 
unchanged.

Film  Rental  Librarians 
Discuss  Industry  Issues 


X  HE  25th  anniversary  of  film  rent- 
il  libraries  specializing  in  recreational 
notion  pictures  was  observed  in  a 
wo-day  conference  under  the  au- 
pices  of  the  National  Audio-Visual 
Vssociation,  on  August  3  and  4.  Close 
o  1 00  operators  and  stafiF  members  at- 
ended  the  meeting  at  the  suburban 
Moraine  Hotel,  north  of  Chicago,  just 
jrior  to  the  20th  annual  National 
\udiovisual  Convention. 

Program  chairman  Carl  Nater 
Walt  Disney  Productions)  opened 
he  session  with  a  talk  on  "How  to 
Recognize  an  Entertainment  Film 
library."  This  was  followed  by  a  visu- 
lized  presentation  on  new  markets 
ind  services  by  Alan  Twyman  (Day- 
ion,  Ohio),  who  told  of  his  own  rental 
ibrary  beginnings  a  quarter-century 
go  when  projector  owners  were  few 
ind  good  16mm  sound  films  fewer. 

Twyman  topped  a  pre-conference 
Mntest  by  naming  167  specific  fields 
if  use  for  16mm  entertainment.  Addi- 
3ons  from  other  contestants  brought 
the  list  up  to  272,  and  this  was  further 
icreased  by  several  score  other  list- 
increased  by  several  score  of  other  list- 
ings brought  out  in  the  very  active 
floor  discussion  that  prevailed 
throughout  the  conference.  No  less 
than  48  separate  use  areas  were  dis- 
closed in  schools  and  colleges  along; 
15  areas  in  religious  institutions. 

The  banquet  that  evening  was  ad- 
dressed by  NAVA  president  Bill  Kirt- 
ley  and  NAVA  executive  vice-presi- 
dent Don  White.  Toby  Chandler 
(Film  Center,  Washington,  D.  C. ) 
was  master  of  ceremonies. 

The  second  morning's  session  had 
as  discussion  leaders  Lennie  Deacom 
(Ideal  Pictures,  Los  Angeles)  on  per- 
sonal service  for  the  walk-in  custom- 
er; Mike  Nuzzola  (Films,  Inc.,  Chi- 
cago) on  the  economics  of  field  sales- 
men; Yolanda  Salla  (Association 
Films)  on  telephone  service;  Toby 
Chandler  on  catalog  production;  Bill 
Rayner  (Swank  Films)  on  promotion- 
al letter  writing. 

Paul  Foght,  general  chairman  of 
the  NAVA  entertainment  film  com- 
mittee and  president  of  the  Ideal  Pic- 
tures network  of  28  libraries,  gave  an 
excellent  Ozalid-visualized  report  on  a 
survey  of  the  business  practices  of  his 
organization,  under  the  heading  of 
The  Dollars  and  Sense  of  the  Enter- 
tainment Film  Business." 

Thomas    J.    Brandon,    assisted    by 


past  presidents  D.  T.  Davis  and  Bill 
Kruse,  made  the  concluding  presen- 
tation on  the  self-chosen  theme  of 
"The  Fabulous  Invalid  of  Remarkable 
Potency."  His  potent  "invalid"  was 
the  theatrical  motion  picture  industry. 
Brandon  discussed  its  remarkable 
recovery,  thanks  to  bigger  and  better 
pictures,  and  the  lessons  to  be  drawn 
by  its  non-theatrical  sibling. 

According  to  the  speaker,  1960  is 
birth  of  the  independent  16mm  en- 
birth  of  the  independetn  16mm  en- 
tertainment film  rental  library,  but 
also  of  the  publication  of  some  of  Ed- 
gar Dale's  "Payne  Fund"  studies  on 
the  impact  of  the  motion  picture  on 
our  culture.  He  urged  that  such 
studies  be  now  renewed  with  special 
emphasis  b\'  high  schools  and  colleges 
and  by  the  educational  press  on  the 
feature  length  film.  The  high  schools 
that  pay  any  attention  to  motion  pic- 
ture appreciation  number  less  than 
one  in  100. 

Brandon's  suggestions  that  the  AV 
trade  organization,  \A\'A,  be  urged 
to  give  greater  attention  to  the  im- 
portance of  film  as  film  and  to  the 


Thimias  J.   Brandon,   left,   introduced   by 
U.  T.  Davis. 


importance  of  its  economic  and  cul- 
tural image  won  unanimous  approach. 
Answers  to  a  questionnaire  filled  out 
by  the  participants  are  to  be  collated 
and  the  findings  reported  to  the 
NAVA  board  of  directors. 

The  conference  was  remarkable  not 
only  as  the  largest  of  its  kind  in  many 
years  but  also  as  a  forum  for  sharing 
techniques  and  experiences  developed 
by  business  rivals  in  a  highly  competi- 
tive commercial  calling.  Unlike  earlier 
gatherings,  no  time  was  wasted  here 
in  jeremiads  over  wicked  price  cutters 
and  hardhearted  purveyors  of  new 
products.  Instead,  emphasis  through- 
out was  on  the  manifold  consumer 
areas  that  good  recreational  films 
would  benefit,  to  the  resultant  bene- 
fit to  all  engaged  in  the  business  of 
meeting  these  needs.  Far  from  being 
deplored,  commercial  competition 
was  viewed  as  a  contribution  to  over- 
all growth  from  which  all  would  bene- 
fit—those served  and  all  who  serve 
them.

AV  Show  in  Review 

"Big,"  "New,"  "Most" 

The  20th  annual  National  Audio- 
visual Convention  marked  a  new  higli 
in  number  of  exhibitors,  booths  and  at- 
tendance. 

The  highlight  this  year  was  the  em- 
phasis on  language  laboratories  and 
their  component  tape  recorders,  furni- 
ture, microphones  and  other  acces- 
sories. One  exhibitor  eliminated  wiring 
by  means  of  a  citizen-band,  low-power 
transmitter. 

Eight  millimeter  sound-on-film  was 
demonstrated  in  the  Fairchild  booth 
and  also  mentioned  somewhat  inci- 
dentally by  Eastman  and  Paillard. 
While  there  was  no  very  heavy  em- 
phasis on  teaching  machines,  some 
typical  written  -  response,  multiple- 
choice,  sleep-teach,  and  tachistoscopic 
examples  were  demonstrated. 

Graflex  unveiled  a  completely  new 
16mm  sound  projector  to  replace  its 
Ampro  line.  It  offers  a  reflector-type 
250-watt  lamp  which  reportedly  gives 
500  lumens  and  passes  part  of  the  heat 
rays  back  through  its  reflector.  Adjust- 
able lamp  brilliance  and  a  palm-sized, 
transistorized,  slide-in  amplifier  are 
among  other  new  features. 

The  Sawyer  "film-disc,"  mounting 
14  16mm  color  pictures  in  cardboard 
wheel  for  individual  viewing  or  small- 
group  projection,  is  soon  to  be  put  into 
national  distribution  after  several  years 
of  use  in  test  situations.  The  countless 
thousands  of  "Viewmaster"  discs  and 
viewers  in  home  use  will  ease  its  in- 
troductions into  school  and  church 
when  the  full  program  is  launched. 
This  handy  little  device  may  prove  of 
major  help  in  adding  visuals  to  teach- 
ing machine  "programming." 

A  close  second  in  number  of  exhib- 
its was  a  "service"  group  including 
projector  and  TV  tables  and  carts, 
presentation  easels,  flannel  boards, 
display  racks,  storage  cabinets  and 
containers,  etc.  The  interest  of  pro- 
ducers and  dealers  in  these  broader 
lines  reflects  a  growing  ability  and  in- 
terest on  the  part  of  audiovisual  deal- 
ers to  meet  the  entire,  ever-broadening 
needs  of  school,  church  and  industry 
customers. 

Most  encouraging  at  this  year's 
meeting  was  the  emphasis  on  industry 
use  of  audiovisuals,  not  only  in  meet- 
ings of  NAVA's  Industry  and  Business 
Council  but  also  in  the  general  session 
in  which  three  faculty  members  from 
San  Jose  State  Teachers  College  made 
a  presentation  on  "Selling  to  Industry." 

Trade  show  attendance  by  top-level 
consumer  groups  was  swelled  by  a 
number  of  contiguous  special  interest 


meetings.  The  Industrial  Audio-Visual 
Association,  Industrial  Training  Direc- 
tors, and  Medical  and  Allied  Sciences 
groups  followed  their  usual  pattern. 
An  AV  Education  Forum  was  co-spon- 
sored by  several  mid  west  professional 
educator  groups.  The  AV  Worship 
Service  was  followed  by  meetings  of 
the  NAVA   Religious  Council   and   of 


the  religious  film  libraries  and  dealers, 
but  for  the  first  time  in  years  there 
was  no  church-user  workshop. 

DA VI  held  several  committee  and 
board  meetings,  and  more  national 
sales  meetings  than  ever  were  sched- 
uled by  manufacturers,  producers,  and 
distributors.  It  was  quite  a  show.

In  this  time  of  great  change  and  technological  advances  in  education,  audiovisua 
departments  in  universities  and  school  systems  are  finding  present  departmenta 
names  inadequate.  For  instance,  DAVE,  Department  of  Audio  Visual  Education 
does  not  define  nor  do  justice  to  a  modern,  up-to-date  audiovisual  departmen 
that  provides  instructors  with  teaching  machines,  learning  programs,  languagi 
laboratories  and  television  broadcasts.  This  time  of  broadening  concepts  of  audio 
visual  services  is  a  time  for  name  changing. 

As  a  service  to  audiovisual  directors  everywhere  we  offer  the  following  sug 
gestive  list  of  new  departmental  titles  from  which  thev  may  choose  or  be  stimu 
lated: 

DAFT  —  Department  of  Apparatus  For  Teaching 

DAME  —  Department  of  Apparatus   Materials   and   Equipment 

DAMN  —  Department  of  Audiovisual  Materials  and  Nostrums 

DARE  —  Department  of  Audiovisual  Resources  for  Education 

DATA  —  Department  for  Applying  Technological  Aids 

DATE  —  Department  for  Applying  Technology  to  Education 

DAWN  —  Department  of  Audiovisual  Wonders  and  Novelties 

DEAD  —  Department  of  Educational  Aids  and  Devices 

DEAF  —  Department  of  Equipment  Apparatus  and  Fittings 

DEBT  —  Department  of  Educational  Bric-a-brac  and  Textbooks 

DEFT  —  Department  of  Educational  Fittings  and  Trappings 

DICE  —  Department  of  Instructional  Contrivances  and  Equipment 

DIRE  —  Department  of  Instructional  Resources  for  Education 

DIRT  —  Department  of   Instructional   Research  and  Technology 

DOER  —  Department  Of  Educational  Resources 

DOLT  —  Department  of  Learning  Technology 

DONE  —  Department  of  Odd  and  Nondescript  Equipment 

DONT  —  Department  Of  Newer  Tools 

DOPE  —  Department  of  Paraphernalia  for  Education 

DREG  —  Department  of  Resources  and  Educational  Gear 

DRIP  —  Department  of  Resources  for  Instructional  Process 

DUPE  —  Department  of  Utensils  for  Propulsive  Education 

You  can  readily  see  from  this  sampling  that  one  cannot  approach  this  nam< 
changing  problem  lightly.  Careful  and  considerate  thought  must  be  given  t( 
the  tour  letter  words.  The  image  that  this  word  projects  to  your  public  can 
be  striking! 

And  what  about  the  four  letter  words  if  you  have  a  Bureau  instead  of  a 
Department?  Well,  we'll  leave  the  "B"  words  for  you  to  figure  out.

This  is  how  we  help  them  remember  m.ore 
of  what  they  see  and  hear  in  a  movie." 


Says  Lawrence  Root, 

rincipal  at  the  new  Brigh- 
:on  District  No.  1  Council 
Rocl<  Elementary  School, 
Rochester,  New  York,  se- 
eded by  A.A.S.A.  for  its 
exhibit  of  outstanding 
school  designs: 


"We  take  the  view  that  most  educational 
films  have  been  prepared  professionally, 
and  as  such  can  communicate  subject  mat- 
ter worth  learning. 

"All  that  remains  is  for  the  children  to 
open  their  minds  to  concentrate  on  and  re- 
ceive the  message.  Gaining  their  concen- 
tration is,  we  feel,  a  matter  of  shutting  out 
distraction. 

"Many  of  our  movies,  therefore,  are 
shown  in  the  quiet  isolation  of  the  audi- 
torium, using  a  Kodak  Pageant  Projector. 
We  selected  our  Pageant  on  the  basis  of  its 
quietness,  picture  brilliance,  and  clarity  of 
its  sound.  Its  consistent  performance  helps 
keep  young  minds  from  wandering. 


"Our  reward  is  evidenced  in  the  picture 
above.  Good  attentiveness,  and  —  later  — 
good  recall  of  what  they  saw  and  heard." 

The  picture  above  was  taken  using  only 
that  light  reflecting  from  the  screen  while 
a  movie  was  in  progress.  The  projector  that 
throws  such  a  brilliant  easy-to-see  image  on 
the  screen  is  a  Kodak  Pageant  Sound  Pro- 
jector, with  its  special  Kodak  Super  40 
Shutter.  With  this  shutter,  the  Kodak  Pag- 
eant actually  projects  40%  more  light  onto 
the  screen  than  projectors  with  ordinary 
shutters.

AF  in  Canada— 

Saskatchewan's 
Vis -Ed  Branch 

by  Fred  Holliday 


O  ASK  ATC  HE  WAN'S  audiovisual  program  has 
been  in  operation  since  the  latter  years  of  World 
War  II.  At  that  time,  only  a  very  few  schools  re- 
ceived service  compared  with  the  4,763  class- 
rooms that  are  today  receiving  regular  ship- 
ments of  instructional  films. 

There  is  justifiable  reason  for  this  expansion. 
The  province  of  Saskatchewan,  in  1960,  is  a 
wealthy  province,  rich  in  resources  and  people. 
Until  1945  Saskatchewan's  economy  was  based 
almost  solely  on  agriculture,  and  a  crop  failure 
was  literally  a  provincial  disaster.  The  farm  pop- 
ulation lived  in  constant  fear  of  drought  or  early 
frost.  Today  the  economic  structure  is  changed. 
There  are  now  many  more  oil  wells  in  Saskatche- 
wan than  there  are  grain  elevators. 

Potash  is  mined  in  the  midst  of  wheat  fields 
and  uranium  serves  the  atomic  age.  Regina,  the 
provincial  capital,  now  has  its  steel  mill  and  fac- 
tories and  the  completion  of  the  South  Saskat- 
chewan River  dam  will  provide  water  and  power 
for  agriculture  and  industry. 

It  is  almost  800  miles  from  the  northern  limits 
of  Saskatchewan  to  the  International  boundary 
and  400  miles  between  the  sister  provinces  of 
Alberta  and  Manitoba  on  the  west  and  east  re- 
spectively. Within  the  province  live  900,000  peo- 
ple. 

Enrolled  in  secondary  schools  are  more  than 
400,000  pupils;  over  3,000  are  in  private  schools 
and  nearly  152,000  in  elementary  schools.  Tend- 
ing the  needs  of  these  students  are  some  8,100 
teachers.

The  Saskatchewan  Visual  Education  Brant 
has  a  staff  of  16  and,  with  a  theatre  seating  3' 
covers  almost  4,500  square  feet  of  area  in  th 
Government  Administration  building  in  Regin. 
During  the  school  year  ended  June  30,  1961 
13,115  shipments  of  film  were  made,  and  33,80 
individual  films  shipped. 

A  considerable  proportion  of  our  time  is  d( 
voted  to  the  evaluation  of  materials  supplied  b 
the  distributors.  Preview  committees  are  con 
posed  of  specialists  in  the  various  curricul 
fields.  The  committee's  approval  ensures  pui 
chase  in  accordance  with  available  funds. 

A  booking  room  staff  of  4  takes  care  of  acce; 
sioning  of  films,  handling  booking  files  and  pre 
paring  shipping  orders.  Teachers  and  other  boi 
rowers  requisition  their  films  every  two  montli 
and,  for  some  subjects,  on  a  "spot  booking"  ba.si: 
In-service  training  of  teachers  and  initial  trail 
ing  at  Teachers  Colleges  assists  the  teacher  t 
base  selection  of  films  on  need.  With  a  shor 
booking  period,  teachers  have  time  for  previe\ 
and  the  opportunity  to  integrate  the  film  satis 
factorily  with  the  teaching  program. 

A  carefully  organized  manual  helps  to  deter 
mine  availability  of  films  at  different  grade  lev 
els.  The  Dewey-decimal  classification  number 
help  in  locating  films  quickly.  The  success  of  an' 
school  film  library,  professional  or  otherwise,  de 
pends  on  adequate  attention  being  given  to  filn 
utilization.  To  ensure  this,  there  must  be  co-op 
eration  between  library  staff  and  teachers. 

Two  male  employees  look  after  outgoing  anc 
incoming  shipments.  Film  distribution  is  by  mai 
as  there  are  rural  deliveries  and  post  offices  a 
remote  points  which  are  not  reached  by  othei 
methods  of  transportation.  The  Canada  Pos 
Office  allows  films  to  be  returned  free  of  charge 
if  the  Department's  "reversal"  postal  card  i; 
used.  There  are  well  over  200  film  shipment? 
made  daily  during  each  semester. 

The  director  and  staff  assume  responsibilit) 
for  the  appointment  of  audiovisual  co-ordinaton 
in  the  larger  schools  throughout  the  province 
These  are,  in  turn,  responsible  for  the  training  ol 
teachers  in  the  efficient  use  of  projection  mate- 
rials to  minimize  film  damage.  Although  most 
schools  participate  in  an  insurance  scheme,  ar 
efficient  film  inspection  system  with  four  em 
ployees  helps  to  prevent  deterioration. 

Our  library  maintains  a  good  reporting  sys- 
tem on  film  showings  and  classroom  usage.  This 
provides  contact  between  the  director  and  thf 
teacher.  From  this  the  director  and  staff  can  as- 
certain whether  the  film  has  been  used  efficient- 
ly and  if  it  serves  the  required  purpose.  The  re- 
port also  acts  as  a  guide  in  the  purchase  of  addi- 
tional prints  and  in  the  withdrawal  of  those 
films  which  are  considered  inadquate.  In  short, 
the  statistics  obtained  give  a  complete  history 
of  film  usage. 

The  branch,  of  necessity,  has  an  administra- 
tive section  with  a  secretary  and  stenographic 
assistance  to  move  correspondence  speedily. 

This  June,  all  teachers  in  training  have  re- 
ceived practical  instruction  given  during  the 
year  in  the  handling  of  equipment.  Film  and

Talkback  is  a  series  of  fifteen-minute  dramas  which  presents  26  of  the  nwst  vital  problems  in 
contemporary  America.  Since  no  solution  is  offered  in  the  films,  group  discussion  jnust  determine 
the  outcome.  Talkback  was  created  and  produced  for  television  release  after  exMustive  research, 
involving  some  10,000  opinions  and  interviews,  to  bring  into  light  major  crises  within  families, 
businesses,  colleges,  and  individuals.  By  popular  demand  it  is  now  available  for  use  by  adult  and 
youth  study  groups,  civic,  fraternal,  church,  and  school  organizations. 

Educators  who  work  with  groups  in  self-education  are  quick  to  endorse  Talkback  because  of  its 

ability  to  stimulate  creative  thinking.

through  courtesy  of  certain  distributors,  were  in- 
stalled in  each  training  college  and  student 
teiichers  were  fully  equipped  audiovisiially  for 
their  practice  teaching  periods.  Following  theory 
and  practice  tests,  qualifying  certificates  were 
issued. 

In  addition  to  distributing  films,  filmstrips 
and  2x2  slides,  and  endeavouring  to  obtain  the 
best  utilization  for  these  materials,  the  branch 
provides  service  in  the  field  of  non-projected 
aids  also.  Promotional  use  of  chalkboards,  bulle- 
tin boards,  flannelgraphs,  dioramas,  etc.,  is  car- 
ried on  incidentally  to  the  general  program. 

The  Branch  attempts  to  encourage  research  in 
the  Audiovisual  field  and  conducts  workshops 
and  institutes  as  a  regular  feature  of  its  in-serv- 
ice training  program. 

Schools  are  encouraged  to  establish  their  own 
filmstrip  libraries.  Although  about  300  filmstrip 
libraries  have  been  set  up  in  central  locations, 
the  core  system  is  proving  to  be  the  most  prac- 
ticable. 


An  Audiovisual  Board  has  been  set  up  imder 
authority  of  the  Minister  of  Education  for  the 
Province.  This  board  acts  in  an  advisory  capacity 
on  all  aspects  of  audiovisual  aids  in  the  schools, 
and  with  adult  organizations  in  respect  to  films, 
radio  and  telecasts.  Represented  on  the  board 
are  many  prominent  educational  organizations, 
the  University  of  Saskatchewan,  the  Saskatche- 
wan Wheat  Pool,  the  Federated  Co-Operatives, 
the  Provincial  School  Trustees  Association,  and 
the  Saskatchewan  Teachers  Federation.  Many 
of  these  groups  purchase  films  for  their  own 
needs  and  leave  them  on  deposit  in  the  provin- 
cial library. 

One  may  truly  say  that  the  teaching  profes- 
sion and  the  citizens  of  this  province  are  film 
conscious  and  can  adequately  use  films  for  their 
needs  from  a  library  eastablished  to  give  service. 
However,  despite  the  best  laid  program  in  a 
challenging  field,  the  important  question  still 
remains,  "How  can  schools  get  all  the  films  they 
need  when  they  want  them?" 


The  Visual  Education  branch  of  the  provincial   Dcpartniont  of  (Jducation  has  a  siiilf 
of  16  in  Repina. 


The  booking  room  staff  handles  files,  receipt   of  films  and  preparation   of  shipping 
orders.  Over  33,000  films  were  sent  out  during  the  school  year  1959-60.

J.  HE  value  of  audiovisual  materials  in  modern 
education  is  becoming  widely  accepted.  In  keep- 
ing with  this  trend,  the  United  States  Military 
Academy  has  been  increasingly  active  in  the 
employment  of  these  aids  to  improve  the  quality 
of  instruction  presented  to  cadets. 

Before  describing  the  manner  in  which  the  De- 
partment of  Social  Sciences  employs  these  ma- 
terials, it  is  necessary  to  point  out  several  features 
of  the  academic  system  of  the  Academy  which 
have  a  direct  bearing  upon  the  employment  of 
audiovisual  aids.  First,  the  Academy  has  a  pre- 
scribed curriculum,  which  means  that  between 
500  and  600  cadets  will  study  a  particular  course 
during  the  same  semester.  This  simplifies  the  task 
of  designing  materials  for  instructional  use  and 
provides  the  economies  of  large-scale  production 
of  these  materials.  Second,  each  department  has 
an  even  teaching  load  throughout  the  school 
year.  This  means  the  classrooms  are  continually 
in  use,  justifies  the  expenditure  of  funds  to  pro- 
vide each  classroom  with  the  latest  in  audio- 
visual devices,  and  provides  full  time  employ- 
ment for  personnel  engaged  in  the  design  and 
production  of  audiovisual  materials. 

A  third,  and  most  significant,  aspect  of  the 
academic  system  at  West  Point  is  the  favorable 
ratio  of  instructors  to  students.  The  small  classes 
(11  to  15  students  per  class)  [x^rmit  considerable 
flexibility  in  the  use  of  audiovisual  materials 
within  the  classroom.  In  contrast  with  many  other 
institutions  of  higher  learning,  the  Military  Acad- 
emy is  not  concerned  with  the  problem  of  teach- 
ing more  students  with  fewer  instructors  through 
the  use  of  AV. 

It  is  felt  that  audiovisual  materials  can  make 
four  significant  contributions  to  the  process  of 
teaching.  By  appealing  to  the  various  senses  they 
serve  to: 

1.  Increase  retention  of  material  taught  the 
student. 

2.  Speed  the  flow  of  information  between  the 
instructor  and  the  student. 

3.  Provide  a  means  for  simplifying  complex 
ideas  and  processes. 

4.  Stimulate  a  cadet's  interest  in  the  subject 
material  and  consequently  hold  his  attention 
better  in  class. 

Using  these  attributes  of  audiovisual  aids,  the 
objectives  of  the  Department  of  Social  Sciences 
are  two-fold:  first,  to  provide  each  instructor 
with  the  materials  and  devices  to  make  him  a 


more  effective  teacher  in  the  classroom  and 
second,  to  stimulate  and  motivate  cadet  thinking 
along  areas  of  cultural  and  educational  value  out 
side  of  the  classroom  through  the  use  of  selectee 
audiovisual  materials.  With  these  objectives  ii 
mind,  the  department  has  organized  its  audio 
visual  program  into  three  major  functional  ac 
tivities. 

The  first  of  these  activities,  termed  Teaching 
Aids,  deals  with  the  provision  of  audiovisua 
equipment  and  materials  for  use  in  the  class 
room.  In  this  category  are:  record  players,  tapt 
recorders,  slide  projectors,  outline  and  wall  maps 
blackboards,  bulletin  boards,  and,  very  important 
transparencies  for  the  overhead  projector.  Eacl 
classroom  is  provided  with  an  overhead  projecto; 
and  it  is  probably  the  principal  teaching  aid  ii 
use  by  the  instructors.  The  versatility  of  the  trans 
parency  as  an  art  medium  coupled  with  the  east 
of  use  of  the  projector  make  the  overhead  pro 
jector  the  most  suitable  of  all  audiovisual  device: 
for  our  purposes.  It  is  in  wide  use  throughout  th< 
Academy.  In  the  past  four  years  the  Departmen 
has  produced  approximately  1,.500  separate  trans 
parencies.  Most  of  these  have  been  produced  ii 
multiple  copies  giving  a  total  library  of  approxi 
mately  13,000  transparencies  for  instructional  us( 
in  the  classroom. 

The  responsibility  for  the  employment  of  audio 
visual  materials  in  support  of  a  course  is  that  o 
the  officer  in  charge  of  the  course*;  though  al 
instructors  are  encouraged  to  recommend  ma 
terial  which  they  feel  will  be  of  value.  Everj 
summer  the  material  used  to  support  each  cours( 
is  reviewed  to  determine  its  value  for  the  cominj 
year.  Some  material  is  discarded,  some  revised 
and  some  new  material  produced.  This  materia 
is  indexed  and  cross-indexed  to  provide  easy  ref 
erence  to  all  material  pertinent  to  a  particula: 
course.  This  is  especially  important  since  then 
is  a  broad  area  of  overlap  among  many  of  thi 


"Courses  taught  by  Department  of  Social 
Sciences  are:  European  &  American  History, 
U.  S.  Government,  Contemporary  Foreign 
Governments,  Far  Eastern  History,  Eco- 
nomics, Economics  of  National  Security,  and 
International  Relations.  Special  courses  for 
selected  students  are  taught  in  Middle  East 
History,  Russian  History,  Diplomatic  His- 
tory, Political  Philosophy,  and  National 
Security  Problems.

courses  (e.g.,  Geography,  Economics,  and  Inter- 
national Relations ) . 

The  production  of  requested  material  is  coordi- 
nated through  the  instructor  who  has  been  desig- 
nated the  "Teaching  Aids  Officer."  Working  un- 
der his  direction  is  an  illustrator  who  produces 
the  majority  of  the  original  art  work  for  signs, 
displays  and  transparency  production.  The  pro- 
duction of  this  material  and  the  maintenance  and 
indexing  of  the  large  collection  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terial already  on  hand  is  a  full  time  job  for  the 
illustrator. 

In  addition  to  the  illustrator,  the  department 
receives  major  support  in  the  production  of  audio- 
visual material  from  the  USMA  Signal  Center. 
This  Center  is  capable  of  providing  rapid  and 
excellent  service  in  the  production  of  photos, 
tranparencies,  movie  films  and  audio  assistance 
(the  center  has  a  fully  equipped  recording 
studio).  Other  agencies  at  the  Military  Academy 
also  provide  assistance  in  the  manufacture  of 
three  dimensional  aids,  bulletin  boards,  display 
frames,  etc.  As  may  well  be  imagined,  the  de- 

f)artment's  audiovisual  program  would  be  severe- 
y  handicapped  without  the  assistance  of  these 
agencies. 


X  HE  second  functional  activity,  Curriculum 
Supporting  Displays,  is  intended  to  reinforce  the 
material  taught  in  the  classroom,  and  is  responsi- 
ble for  the  hallway  bulletin  boards,  an  automatic 
slide  projector  and  the  large  display  cases  in  the 
foyer  of  the  academic  building.  This  activity  also 
provides  display  material  illustrating  department 
functions  for  homecoming  weekend,  open  houses, 
and  other  appropriate  occasions. 

The  officers  in  charge  of  the  courses  currently 
in  progress  are  responsible  for  providing  material 
for  the  hallway  bulletin  boards  and  the  automatic 
slide  projector.  Materials  for  these  media  are 
keyed  to  the  courses  and  normally  emphasize  a 
theme  being  taught  in  the  course.  For  example, 
a  set  of  16  slides  illustrating  the  factors  gener- 
ating inflation  will  be  displayed  at  a  time  when 
the  economics  course  is  teaching  this  aspect  of 
our  economic  system,  or  a  photo  display  of  the 
Depression  will  be  mounted  on  the  hallway 
bulletin  board.  Materials  displayed  here  are 
normally  rotated  every  week  to  ten  days. 

The  large  display  cases  in  the  foyer  are  used 
to  present  a  more  general  theme  related  to  the 
courses.  The  officer  in  charge  of  a  course  will 
determine  the  concept  which  he  desires  to  have 
presented  and  briefly  outlines  how  he  feels  that 
this  may  be  best  done.  The  officer  responsible  for 
this  portion  of  the  display  program  then  coordi- 
nates this  request  with  personnel  from  the  West 
Point  Museum.  The  Museum  with  material  from 
its  own  stocks  or  borrowed  from  other  institu- 
tions (e.g.  The  Museum  of  Natural  History) 
creates  and  mounts  the  display  in  the  foyer 
cases.  Explanatory  descriptions  for  the  display 
are  provided  by  the  department.  Typical  displays 
might  represent  Elizabethan  England  or  the 
history  of  weapons  development  in  Europe. 
These  displays  are  rotated  every  two  weeks. 

In  conjunction  with  these  aspects  of  the  display 
program,  the  department  also  makes  use  of  dis- 

fdays  created  by  other  institutions.   Many  very 
ine  and   valuable   displays   are   available   from 


organizations  such  as  the  United  Nations,  the 
Federal  Reserve  Bank,  the  International  Mone- 
tary Fund,  and  American  corporations.  Possibly 
a  half  dozen  of  these  displays  are  utilized  each 
year  for  varying  periods  of  time. 

The  Great  Films  Program  is  the  third  of  the 
department's  activities.  The  Great  Films  Program 
commences  in  late  January  and  runs  until  the 
middle  of  April.  This  is  a  period  of  less  outdoor 
activity  for  the  cadet,  and  for  several  reasons 
related  to  the  poor  weather  and  the  long  wait 
until  summer  is  popularly  called  "gloom  period." 
On  two  afternoons  of  each  week  during  this 
time  specially  selected  feature  films  are  shown 
to  the  cadets.  The  films  to  be  shown  are  selected 
with  two  objectives  in  mind.  The  first  is  to  "bring 
to  life"  the  issues  and  problems  discussed  in  the 
classroom,  thus  stimulating  the  cadets'  thinking 
and  broadening  their  awareness  of  the  problems 
of  their  country  and  the  world  in  this  period  of 
crisis  and  change.  The  second  objective  is  to 
broaden  his  appreciation  of  his  own  and  others' 
cultures.  Fortunately,  many  fine  films  serve  to 
do  both. 

To  accomplish  the  first  objective,  films  such 
as  Mr.  Smith  Goes  to  Washiiigton,  All  the  King's 
Men  and  Triumph  of  the  Will  (a  Nazi  propa- 
ganda film)  are  shown.  Insofar  as  possible,  the 
showing  of  these  films  is  coordinated  with  ma- 
terial presently  being  taught  in  the  classroom. 
The  first  two  films  mentioned  above  are  shown 
in  conjunction  with  the  course  in  United  States 
Government;  Triumph  of  the  Will  is  shown  in 
conjunction  with  the  course  on  European  and 
American  History. 

To  accomplish  the  second  objective,  films 
covering  periods  of  history  and  films  depicting 
life  in  other  countries,  such  as  The  Good  Earth 
and  Rashomon  are  shown. 

The  film  program  has  been  quite  successful 
both  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  department 
and  of  the  cadets.  Attendance  of  400  or  more 
cadets  at  a  showing  (strength  of  Corps  is  2,400) 
is  not  unusual.  Since  attendance  is  voluntary,  it  is 
important,  if  the  program  is  to  succeed,  that  the 
films  be  of  high  quality  and  have  entertainment 
value  for  the  cadet.  For  these  reasons,  educa- 
tional and  documentary  films,  though  technically 
quite  accurate  and  providing  comprehensive  cov- 
erage of  desired  material,  are  not  normally 
shown.  One  source  of  films  which  is  often  a 
happy  blending  of  entertainment  value  and 
broad,  accurate  coverage  of  the  material  has  yet 
to  be  fully  exploited.  These  are  the  network  tele- 
vision documentaries,  which  because  of  their 
topicality  tend  to  be  most  valuable.  Our  Military 
History  Department  has  been  able  to  make  ex- 
tensive use  of  documentary  films  of  World  War 
II  campaigns. 

The  officer  in  charge  of  the  Great  Films  Pro- 
gram also  coordinates  the  procurement  of  films 
to  be  shown  in  the  classroom  as  part  of  the  nor- 
mal course  of  instruction.  In  the  field  of  the  social 
sciences,  unfortunately  the  department  has  found 
few  films  appropriate  for  classroom  use. 

A  last  aspect  of  our  audiovisual  program,  not 
falling  directly  under  any  of  the  activities  men- 
tioned above,  is  the  utilization  of  the  television 
facilities  of  our  new  academic  building.  During 
the  course  of  the  year,  events  of  special  signif- 


546 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — October,  1960 


icance  to  Americans  are  broadcast  on  television. 
Where  possible  in  the  busy  schedule  of  the  cadet, 
it  is  arranged  that  he  be  permitted  to  view  these 
events  in  the  happening.  For  example,  in  Septem- 
ber, 1959,  cadets  were  excused  from  classroom 
attendance  to  see  and  hear  Premier  Khrushchev's 
address  to  the  National  Press  Club.  Both  cadets 
and  instructors  felt  this  worthwhile. 

The  activities  and  organization  so  briefly  out- 
lined above  have  evolved  through  time  and  ex- 
perience. They  will  continue  to  be  adapted  to 
meeting  changing  circumstances  and  require- 
ments. However,  the  provision  of  the  latest  in 
audiovisual  materials  and  an  organization  to  serve 
them  is  not  enough  to  ensure  an  effective  audio- 
visual program.  Beyond  the  basic  physical  and 
equipment  requirements,  an  effective  AV  pro- 
gram requires;  (1)  an  imderstanding  of  the  po- 
tential of  the  various  media  to  be  employed,  ( 2 ) 
a  knowledge  of  the  type  of  instructional  material 
suitable  for  audiovisual  portrayal,  and  (3)  an 
appreciation  by  the  instructors  of  the  value  of 
audiovisual  aids  to  instruction  and  also  of  the 
proper  techniques  for  use  of  material  available. 

Much  of  the  knowledge  required  to  develop 
an  effective  audiovisual  program  can  be  acquired 
through  experience,  and  the  department  has 
gathered  much  "lore"  in  this  way.  But  experience 
is  a  slow  and  uncertain  way  of  accumulating 
knowledge.  The  department  has  taken  several 
steps  to  ensure  that  it  is  abreast  of  the  latest  de- 
velopments in  the  audiovisual  programs  conduct- 
ed by  the  Tecnifax  Corporation  at  Holyoke, 
Massachusetts.  Here  the  newest  in  special  audio- 


visual developments  can  be  seen. 

During  the  year,  also,  we  monitor  develop- 
ments through  the  USMA  Signal  Officer.  Every 
summer  the  new  instructors  are  given  an  orienta- 
tion on  the  audiovisual  materials  available  and 
the  best  techniques  for  using  them.  This  last 
step  is  essential  since  a  number  of  instructors 
have  an  almost  instinctive  reaction  against  the 
use  of  audiovisual  materials.  They  often  feel  that 
the  use  of  such  materials  competes  with  their  own 
presentation— in  the  classroom  as  can  happen 
if  they  are  improperly  used. 

In  the  last  analysis,  however,  the  best  sales- 
men for  the  employment  of  audiovisual  materials 
are  the  materials  themselves.  When  properly  and 
imaginatively  conceived  and  effectively  employ- 
ed they  quickly  establish  their  own  worth.  Such 
has  been  the  experience  of  this  department  over 
the  past  four  years.  We  now  have  a  well-articu- 
lated and  growing  program  for  the  employment 
of  audiovisual  materials.  Our  instructors  now  use 
these  as  a  matter  of  habit  and  their  skill  is  inte- 
grating them  into  the  courses  improves  with  each 
passing  year.  The  display  and  film  programs  are 
supplementary  but  they,  too,  contribute  to  the 
educational  goals  of  the  department  by  broaden- 
ing and  stimulating  the  cadet's  mind. 

Audiovisual  materials  no  longer  can  be  con- 
sidered merely  an  aid  to  provide  fringe  benefits 
to  the  educational  process.  They  are  now  an 
integral  and  vital  part  of  this  process.  There  are 
problems  of  money,  organization  and  experience 
in  establishing  an  effective  audiovisual  program, 
but  the  improvement  in  teaching  and  the  stu- 
dent response  reward  the  effort  expended.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


World  War  II  had  its  Battle  of  the 
Bulge;  filmstrip  production  seems  to 
have  had  a  battle  of  "How  Much  Is 
Enough  and  How  Often?"  The  prob- 
lem might  even  be  called  one  of  "Sets 
vs.  Singles."  Personally,  we  are  in- 
clined to  take  the  side  of  Singles— at 
least  to  the  extent  of  saying  that  we 
are  opposed  to  a  statement  which  pur- 
ports to  claim  that  there  is  a  hard  and 
fast  rule  to  determine  the  exact  num- 
ber of  frames  to  be  included  in  any 
one  filmstrip,  or  that  there  is  another 
rule  which  gives  the  exact  number  of 
strips  that  constitute  a  set.  Quality 
of  content  and  of  color  or  black  and 
white  is  more  important  to  us  than 
frequency  of  appearance.  Some  sub- 
jects can  be  covered  in  the  proverbial 


twinkling  of  an  eye;  why,  then,  stretch 
them  out  into  yards  of  rather  boring 
pictures?  Other  subjects  can  be  di- 
vided and  redivided  into  small  units 
with  enough  left  over  for  several  extra 
sets.  Moreover  some  subjects  fall  into 
a  sequential  order  that  is  adapted  to 
serial  type  production. 

We  make  a  plea  to  both  producers 
and  users  to  maintain  and  insist  upon 
a  standard  of  filmstrip  production  that 
will  assure  material  worth  using  to 
stimulate  and  hold  pupil  interest.  If 
this  means  single  strips,  all  right;  if 
it  means  sets,  then  still  all  right.  There 
is  nothing  against  variety  in  technique 
of  presentation  (if  variety  is  the  spice 
of  life,  it  should  be  applicable  to  film- 
strips  ) .

Birds  ok  the  City  (single  .strip, 
color;  produced  by  National  Film 
Board  of  Canada  and  available  from 
Stanley  Bowmar  Co.,  12  CleveLand 
St.,  Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  $5).  There  is  just 
as  much  opportunity  to  study  bird 
life  in  a  city  as  there  is  in  the  coimtry. 
Many  birds  are  to  be  seen  in  the  parks 
of  cities  and  there  can  be  many  hour; 
of  enjoyment  for  the  city  child  wh( 
learns  to  recognize  them.  Among  thi 
birds  clearly  pictured  for  us  in  this 
strip  are  the  pigeon,  starling,  robin, 
woodpecker,  crow,  blue  jay  and  gull. 
The  sketches  are  true  to  color  and 
show  in  detail  the  features  to  look 
for  in  identifying  each  bird.  The  film- 
strip  is  good  for  classroom  nature 
study  work  and  is  excellent  prepara- 
tion for  a  nature  trip  or  bird  walk  or 
camping  trip. 

Bobby  Visits  the  Farm  (single- 
strip,  color  with  manual;  produced  by 
California  State  Polytechnic  College. 
El  Corral  Book  Store,  San  Luis 
Obispo,  California;  $5  for  strip  .and 
one  manual;  extra  manuals  75  cents 
each).  This  strip  is  the  cooperative 
production  of  a  college  education  and 
audiovisual  department,  and  we  think 
it  is  a  good  example  of  what  these 
groups  can  do.  The  story  is  simple; 
a  boy  goes  to  visit  a  farm;  he  sees 
farm  animals  and  the  work  carried  out 
on  a  faiTTi;  he  glimpses  something  of 
the  life  of  a  farm  family  and  what  they 
do  in  the  course  of  a  day's  activities. 

The  pictures  are  clear,  and  they 
give  us  close-ups  which  enable  us  to 
recognize  the  animals.  The  picture 
presented  is  what  a  boy  would  see  if 
he  actually  went  to  this  farm.  The  fact 
that  there  are  no  captions  to  interfere 
with  looking  makes  it  possible  to  do 
a  lot  of  talking  about  the  picture  con- 
tent, and  this  is  why  we  like  the  strip. 
Our  guess  is  that  pupils  will  do  a 
lot  of  talking  when  this  strip  is  used, 
and  they  will  do  it  because  the  picture 
material  presents  something  of  interest 
to  talk  about. 

Reading  Meaning  Into  Maps 
Through  the  Camera  Lens  (six 
strips,  color;  produced  by  Curriculum 
Materials  Center,  10031  Commerce, 
Tujunga,  California;  $3.95  per  strip). 
People  today  have  more  recourse  to 
maps  than  ever  before,  and  it  is  cer- 
tainly important  for  them  to  know 
how  to  read  maps.  The  presentation 
techniques  are  good  in  this  series. 
Basically,  the  purpose  is  to  train  the 
reader  to  recognize  the  standard  s>'m- 
bols  used  to  indicate  map  features. 
The  strip  relates  this  to  real  life  by 
including    photographs    which    show

ivhaf  the  geographic  feature  actually 
ooks  like.  This  helps  us  to  realize  that 
:he  map  symbols  are  really  an  alpha- 
jef  which  helps  us  read  map  iiiforma- 
ioii. 

Material  of  this  type  is  good  for 
ntroductory  map  and  globe  study  and 
t  also  has  meaning  for  units  of  work 
.vhere  it  is  important  to  be  able  to 
ook  at  maps  and  get  an  over-all  idea 
>f  what  geography  means  to  history 
iiKJ  world  affairs. 

i'liK  Rkvoi.ution  of  Expectations 
(single  strip,  color  and  black  and 
A'hite,  with  33  1/3  rpm  record;  pro- 
luted  by  Life  Filmstrips  and  avail- 
ible  from  Encyclopaedia  Britannica 
Films,  1150  Wilmette  Ave.,  Wilmette, 
111.;  S>7.50  strip  and  record).  Any 
itudy  of  world  development,  must  of 
lecossity  include  a  consideration  of 
.vluit  in  each  generation  led  men  to 
eek  out  new  places,  still  going  on. 
\n  understanding  of  what  is  involved 
.;ives  us  a  clue  to  the  reasons  why  men 
.;()  to  war,  why  they  struggle  to  pro- 
luce   machines   and   goods. 

The  strip  is  essentially  suited  to 
inits  in  world  history,  economics  and 
iocial  science.  Again  this  is  an  in- 
itance  of  non-captioned  f  i  1  m  s  t  r  i  p 
(with  comment  and  exi^lanation  on 
he  record ) ;  this  allows  considerable 
atitude  in  the  technique  for  present- 
ng  the  material  to  any  group  and 
Tieans  that  discussion  can  be  carried 
lut  in  terms  of  group  background, 
level  of  work  and  language  ability. 

United  Nations  Material  —  Interna- 
tional Court  of  Justice,  and  The  U.  N. 
Did  the  Refugees  (2  strips,  black  and 
ivhite;  produced  by  United  Nations 
uid  available  from  Stanbow  Produc- 
tions, Valhalla,  N.  Y.;  $3  each).  Much 
criticism  of  the  way  the  United  Na- 
;ions  operates  stems  from  a  lack  of 
Appreciation  of  how  international  mat- 
ters are  carried  out.  The  first  strip 
listed  here  gives  us  an  idea  of  how 
the  international  court  deals  with  mat- 
:ers  involving  people  of  different 
lationalities  and  affiliations.  The  sec- 
)ik1  strip  show  us  how  important  it  is 
For  refugees  driven  from  their  home- 
lands to  make  new  contacts  and  to 
become  established  in  new  homes. 
Neither  of  these  strips  is  fabricated  in 
I  producer's  outline;  the  facts  are 
taken  from  real  life  and  the  story  (if 
it  can  actually  be  called  "story")  is 
documentary  and  true  to  conditions 
I'xisting  today.  There  are  captions  to 
guide  the  viewer,  but  in  many  in- 
stances the  pictures  speak  for  them- 
selves, and  it  would  be  good  to  in- 
vite student  comment  over  and  above 
what  is  suggested  by  the  caption.

Description 

The  Industrial  Revolution  in  Eng- 
land presents  a  succinct  resume  of 
perhaps  the  greatest  of  all  modern 
revolutions,  namely,  the  Industrial 
Revolution.  Its  background,  origin, 
precursors,  and  most  important,  its 
impact  on  England's  body  politic,  so- 
ciety, and  conscience  are  depicted 
with  broad,  bold  and  deft  strokes. 

The  first  sequence,  a  prelude  in  a

the  domestic  system  of  England  of 
200  years  ago  in  which  the  agrarian 
life  of  small  farms,  little  changed  from 
the  Middle  Ages,  afforded  its  people 
a  life  of  primitive  toil  and  a  low  stand- 
ard of  living.  At  this  time,  too,  when 
each  household  possessed  its  spinning 
wheel  and  each  village  its  looms,  every 
master,  carrying  on  with  his  own  cap- 
tal,  tried  to  wrest  his  family's  necessi- 
ties from  his  three  to  fifteen  acres  and 
to  meet  his  augmented  needs  by  the 
sale  of  domestically  produced  woolen 
cloth.  While  it  is  indeed  true  the 
master  often  displayed  a  genuine 
paternalistic  attitude  toward  the  train- 
ing and  welfare  of  his  apprentices  and 
journeymen,  they  were,  nevertheless, 
bound  by  reprehensible  custom  and 
parliamentary  law  halfway  between 
serf  and  citizens  and  were,  therefore, 
destined  to  live  and  die  on  the  spot 
where  they  were  born. 

The  second  sequence,  utilizing  a 
melange  of  pithy  animation,  19th  cen- 
tury engravings,  and  live  shots,  pre- 
sents the  sociological  and  economic 
facets  of  this  change  from  domestic 
production  to  the  factory  system. 
Pastoral  and  somnolent  villages  be- 
came bustiing  towns,  and  towns  be- 
came squalor-  and  vice-ridden  cities 
spawning  misery  and  destitution  on  an 
unprecedented  scale.  This  era  can  best 
be  synthesized  in  the  lives  of  three 
Englishmen  whose  inventions  launch- 
ed and  spearheaded  this  economic  up- 
heaval. 

James  Hargreaves,  in  1765,  came  up 
with  the  "spinning  jenny,"  a  hand 
operated  machine  capable  of  weaving 
16  spindles  at  a  time,  thereby  replac- 
ing 100  hand  spinners.  He  was  fol- 
lowed shortly  by  the  Rev.  Edward 
Cartwright  who  in  1785  set  the  stage 
for  further  improvement  in  weaving 
by  his  invention  of  the  "power  loom" 
operated  by  water  power,  thus  weav- 
ing cloth  automatically.  Lastly,  and 
most  significantly,  was  James  Watt 
who  despite  the  apocryplial  teaketde 
story  did,  in  1769,  improve  upon  tlie 
earlier  work  of  Thomas  Newcomen 
and  constructed  an  efficient  steam  en- 
gine capable  of  driving  machinery. 
Thus  it  was  that  by  1781  the  "age 
of  steam"  had  ushered  in  a  cheap 
source  of  power  which,  coupled  with 


improved  methods  of  producing  iron 
and  steel,  made  the  Industrial  Revolu- 
tion a  fait  accompli.  Moreover,  this 
inexorable  movement  left  in  its  wake 
widespread  unemployment  and  bitter 
opposition  to  the  tyranny  of  the  ma- 
chine and  the  factory  system. 

However,  by  the  19th  century, 
England  had  became  the  workshop  of 
the  world  and  supreme  in  world  trade. 
All  of  this  brought  prosperity— pros- 
perity, that  is,  if  you  were  on  top  and 
well  to  do,  because  the  whole  struc- 
ture was  supported  by  the  great 
masses  who  lived  and  toiled  12  to  14 
hours  a  day  under  unspeakable  con- 
ditions. In  a  very  real  sense  the  work- 
er's life  began  with  the  employer  and 
ended  with  the  machine.  Thus  this 
new  wealth  and  world  preeminence 
rested  upon  the  work  of  women  and 
children  in  mines  and  mills  who  grub- 
bed out  an  existence  amid  poignant 
human  misery. 

Why  did  not  the  warning  of 
Mathew  Arnold  that  England  would 
undergo  a  "political  bloodbath  of 
revolution"  not  unlike  that  of  France 
fail  to  materialize?  The  answers  are 
two.  First,  the  great  reforms  passed 
by  Parliament  from  the  middle  19th 
century  onward:  the  Mines  Act  of 
1842  forbidding  women  and  children 
under  ten  to  work  in  the  mines;  the 
Ten  Hours  Act  of  1847,  limiting  the 
work  day;  the  Acts  of  1875  which  gave 
trade  unions  full  and  legal  protection. 
Second,  the  increased  productivity  as 
contrasted  to  the  former  low  outi^ut 
of  the  manual  system  with  its  liigh 
prices  and  first  class  craftsmanship  for 
those  who  could  afford  it.  However, 
the  machine  increased  production  by 
the  division  of  labor— shoes  being 
made  in  20  minutes  rather  than  18 
hours  by  the  old  hand  methods— 
thereby  giving  rise  to  such  salutary 
benefits  as  higher  wages,  lower  costs, 
and  shorter  hours.  Indeed,  it  was  these 
evolutionary  rather  than  revolutionary 
changes  which  averted  a  bloodbath 
and  made  possible  an  increased  stand- 
ard of  living  for  the  English  people. 
At  the  same  time  they  made  England 
an  exporter  of  industrialism  itself  to 
the  world,  thus  ushering  in  our  mod- 
em technological  and  industrial  civili- 
zation.

Appraisal 

This  film  is  eminently  suited  for 
junior  high  use  and,  depending  upon 
level  of  backgroinid  and  sophistiea- 
tioii,  for  senior  high.  Certainly  it  lends 
itself  to  inexhaustible  discussion  which 
surely  must  accompany  its  use.  How- 
ever this  capsule  treatment  of  the 
Industrial  Revolution  would  have  been 
enhanced  liad  the  producers  seen  fit 
to  plumb  deeper  the  still  unresolved 
social  dislocations  of  this  historical 
"Juggernaut,"  but  perhaps  that  is  a 
subject  for  further  treatment.  Let  us 
hope  so.

a  nervous  seal  to  appear  on  the  ice, 
and  finally  how  to  trap  the  white  fox 
whose  fur  they  will  trade.  Indeed, 
the  family '.s  trip  to  the  Hudson  Bay 
post  is  a  highlight  of  the  summer,  for 
here  they  can  secure  not  only  new 
parkas,  guns  and  ammunition,  but  also 
metal  cooking  utensils,  mirrors  and 
even  baby  cribs.  In  the  near-by  town 
where  the  family  has  relatives  they 
see  oil  drilling  and  communication  in- 
stallations, a  modern  school  for  Es- 
kimo children,  and  an  increasing  num- 
ber of  opportunities  for  their  men 
who  like  to  work  with  machinery.  So 
as  Anakudluk   leads  his   family  liack 


to  their  hunting  gi-oimds  he  realizes 
anew  that  now  there  are  few  Eskimos 
who  do  not  have  some  contact  with 
the  white  man  in  the  Arctic. 

Appraisal 

An  anthropologist  member  of  the 
evaluation  committee,  acquainted  with 
the  work  of  the  film's  collaborator 
and  himself  familiar  with  the  Arctic, 
identifies  the  Eskimos  pictured  here 
as  those  inhabiting  Baffin  Land, 
Southampton  Island,  and  the  mainland 
on  the  west  coast  of  Hudson  Bay.  The 
film  mentions  no  specific  locale,  but

Description 

This  film  pictures  an  Eskimo  family 
during  its  journey  to  and  its  life  in 
a  spring  hunting  and  camp  site,  its 
summer  visit  to  a  trading  post  and  a 
nearby  town,  and  its  brief  contact  with 
modern  technology  as  represented  by 
industrial  and  military  installations  in 
the  Arctic. 

After  almost  ten  months  of  winter 
during  which  the  treeless  land  and  the 
sea  are  frozen  together,  Anakudluk 
readies  his  krammotik  and  his  half- 
wolf  Huskies  to  carry  his  wife,  infant 
daughter,  and  son  over  high  ridges 
and  long  level  stretches  of  ice  to  dry 
ground.  Never  travelling  in  large 
groups  because  of  food  shortages,  the 
PZskimos  pause  frequently  to  test  the 
sea  ice,  rest  the  dogs,  permit  the  chil- 
dren to  play,  and  partake  of  raw  seal 
meat,  their  main  food. 

Finally  reaching  the  tundra  with  its 
paunrain,  the  Eskimo  family  joins  with 
others  in  setting  up  canvas  "igloos." 
Each  day  the  boys  are  called  from 
their  ball  games  to  feed  the  dogs  who 
fight  fiercely  over  the  remnants  of 
seal  meat,  and  the  women  cut  seal 
skin  into  strips  for  various  uses.  Dur- 
ing the  summer  nights  when  the  sun 
never  sets,  families  gather  to  exchange 
stories  and  to  pass  tlie  time  by  telling 
jokes  on  each  other. 

But  Anakudluk  is  always  concerned 
about  the  weather  and  its  effect  on 
Netclu'k  the  Seal  and  Tiriginiak  the 
White  Fox.  Fitting  himself  and  his 
son  in  doubly  furlined  parkas,  he 
leaches  the  boy  how  to  fish  by  har- 
poon and  line,  how  to  crouch  silently 
behind  the  portable  blind  waiting  for

all  these  Eastern  Arctic  Indians  have 
basic  similarities.  Many  in  the  Hudson 
Bay  area  are  of  mixed  stock,  but  not 
so  much  as  are  the  "Greenlanders," 
a  name  now  preferred  by  Eskimos 
living  on  that  island. 

Eskimo  Family  is  accurate  in  its 
description  of  food  and  clothing  sour- 
ces. Caribou,  though  still  hunted  in 
some  parts  of  the  Arctic,  are  not  found 
in  large  enough  numbers  for  Indians 
pictured  here  to  hunt  them,  even  for 
skins  used  in  parkas.  The  film's  short 
sequence  on  modern  technology  is  not 
overdone;  many  Eskimos,  besides 
those  who  live  regularly  in  towns, 
abet  their  incomes  by  operating  bull- 
dozers during  the  summers.  Other 
interesting  evidences  of  change  are  the 
modern  colored  glasses  worn  by  Ana- 
kudluk  as  he  stalks  the  seal,  refriger- 
ators found  in  town  homes,  and  the 
small  but  efficient  oil  stoves  used  for 
heating  tea  while  en  route  from  one 
camp  site  to  another.  Such  items  sug- 
gest some  use  of  this  film  at  upper 
secondary  levels  but  its  chief  appeal 
is  for  middle  grade  social  studies. 

Some  teachers  may  be  disappointed 
in  its  paucity  of  "built-in"  geograph- 
ical information  but  others  will  use 
it  as  a  springboard  to  or  even  as  a 
case  study  in  Arctic  life.  It  provides 
opportunity  to  contrast  sounds  of 
words  in  the  Eskimo  and  other  lan- 
guages and  illustrates  the  meaning  of 
several  interesting  terms  descriptive 
of  eastern  Arctic  culture. 

Technically  the  film  is  well  done. 
The  beginning  of  the  trip,  with  the 
heavily  loaded  sled  pulled  by  dogs 
running  in  a  fan-like  formation  and 


pushed  by  all  but  the  infant  member 
of  the  family,  is  especially  dramatic. 
Color  is  used  to  advantage  in  many 
spots,  one  of  which  is  a  close-up  of 
Anakiidluk's  weather-beaten  and  care- 
worn face  as  he  watches  the  changing 
weather  from  his  summer  igloo.  Cer- 
tainly this  film  should  help  at  several 
grade  levels  to  suggest  that  stereotype 
of  Eskimos,  like  those  of  so  many  other 
people  we  do  not  know,  are  badly 
out  of  date.

Description 

The  art  of  story  telling  is  developed 
in  Telling  Stories  to  Children  through 
demonstration  and  explanation  of 
techniques.  The  urgency  of  small  feet 
running  to  take  their  owner  to  the

significant  of  the  magic  of  this  an- 
cient art  for  youngsters. 

A  young  librarian  joins  the  children 
as  an  engrossed  listener  to  the  old 
favorite  "Three  Billy  Goats  Gruff." 
She  expresses  to  the  Story  Lady  her 
desire  to  be  an  experienced  teller  of 
tales  and  is  introduced  to  collections 
of  folk  and  fairy  tales  and  to  the  tech-

attempt  to  entertain  young  listeners 
fails.  A  successful  telling  of  "Master

preparation  and  a  rehearsal  of  tech- 
niques with  a  young  man  who  comes 
to  entertain  at  the  story  hour  with  a 
folk  tale  and  Irish  harp. 

A  colorful  mobile  displays  the  chil- 
dren's attempts  to  capture  memorable 
moments  of  the  Scandinavian  tale  of 
the  three  goats  and  the  troll.  This 
mobile  silently  expresses  the  imagina- 
tive creativity  which  stories  can  foster 
in  children  and  indicates  an  activity 
which  may  be  developed  in  combina- 
tion with  story  hour  programs.  Similar- 
ly the  use  of  the  Irish  harp  points  up 
the  valid  integration  of  another  of 
the  art  forms,  such  as  music. 

Close-ups  of  the  children's  faces  as 
they  sit  entranced  by  a  well-told  story 
are  as  significant  as  the  squirming 
disinterest  displayed  to  the  tale  poorly 
related.  The  unposed  glimpses  of  the 
children  help  to  draw  the  viewer  into 
the  spell  of  "Once  upon  a  time"  which 
takes  the  young  out  of  their  narrow 
world  and  allows  them  momentary 
satisfaction  of  identification  with  per- 
sons in  the  world  of  make  believe. 
Through  the  natural  response  of  the 
children  is  shown,  also,  the  rapport 
which  exists  between  listener  and  the 
weaver  of  the  magic  spell,  a  rapport 
which  breaks  down  all  the  barriers  of 
age,  sex,  and  place. 

Appraisal 

This  film  is  an  especially  helpful 
introduction  to  the  study  and  practice 
of  a  too  little  used  ancient  art.  The 
integration  of  other  art  forms  with 
story  telling  helps  to  point  up  the 
fact  that,  at  its  best,  this  is  indeed  a 
practiced  and  studied  art. 

The  abortive  attempt  at  story  telling 
by  the  young  librarian  and  her  eventu- 
al success  at  delighting  the  story  hour 
group  should  give  heart  to  any  novice. 

Words  of  the  demonstration  stories 
are  sometimes  lost  on  the  sound  track. 
This  is  probably  due  to  the  natural- 
ness of  the  story  hour  situation  and 
to  the  teller's  concern  with  his  audi- 
ence rather  than  the  filming.  The  loss 
of  a  few  words  is  no  serious  fault 
since  the  film's  objective  is  to  teach 
technique  and  not  entertain  with  a 
story.  There  might  properly  have  been 
a  relation  of  story  to  book  since  story 
telling  is  often  an  ideal  introduction 
to  books.  Students  would  also  have 
found  it  helpful  to  know  the  collec- 
tions from  which  the  tales  were  taken. 

Persons  concerned  with  the  train- 
ing of  those  who  are  to  work  with 
children— librarians,  teachers,  recrea- 
tion workers,  group  leaders,  etc.— 
should  find  this  much  needed  film 
of  considerable  value.

AV 

in  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


The  17  th  Workshop 

During  the  hitter  part  of  August, 
.•lose  to  150  AV  leaders  in  the  church 
'ield  met  at  the  University  of  Colo- 
iido  at  Boulder  for  an  executive  con- 
iercnce  on  two  large  AV  themes:  Pro- 
luction  and  Utilization.  While  these 
:\vo  subjects  formed  the  warp  of  all 
jur  considerations,  the  woof  was  laid 
ilown  by  a  shuttle  of  large  and  small 
iroiip  discussions  which  asked  three 
lucstions.  They  were:  What  is  the 
undamental  implication  of  the  art  of 
•oinmunication  for  these  two  subjects? 
V\'hat  is  the  present  status  of  each  of 
these  processes?  What  is  the  future  of 
joth  production  and  utilization? 

As  the  conference  progressed  it  was 
riuite  obvious  that  our  heads  were 
much  clearer  on  the  subject  of  pro- 
luction  than  on  utilization.  We  do  not 
need  to  seek  far  for  the  reason.  In 
production  many  of  them  had  some 
experience;  in  utilization  most  had  but 
little.  Thus  in  'utilization'  we  were 
fuzzy,  bifocal,  and  often  nonfocusing. 
No  distinctions  could  be  made  be- 
tvseen  utilization— in  the  sense  of  re- 
lating an  AV  unit  of  experience  to  on- 
going educational  experience  —  and 
utilization  techniques,  the  process  of 
wringing  the  educational  juice  out  of 
the  stuff  being  used.  Even  those  who 
spoke  on  the  art  of  communication 
turned  out  to  be  rather  poor  communi- 
cators, chopping  away  with  a  dull  axe 
and  relying  more  on  the  heft  of  the 
stroke  than  on  deftness. 

One  of  the  prime  considerations 
was:  what  are  the  denominations  to 
produce  for  themselves  and  what  will 
they  ask  the  'independent'  producers 
to  produce  for  them  or  turn  out  for 
the  church  market? 

At  the  end  of  the  conference  the 
status  quo  on  production  was  consid- 
ered reasonably  acceptable,  with  cur- 
riculum-integrated productions  likely 
to  be  undertaken  by  the  denomina- 
tions. The  independent  producers 
would  continue  to  produce  "program' 
materials  both  for  the  denominations, 
upon  reciuest,  and  also  for  themselves. 
This  seemed  to  me  the  trend,  although 
the  official  findings  qualify  this  some- 
what. 

Utilization  is  the  crucial  point.  In 
volume  it  has  not  kept  pace  with  pro- 
duction, nor  with  the  quality  of  the 


great  bulk  of  materials  produced.  Some 
of  us  remember  when  the  cry  at  the 
workshops  was,  "Give  us  quality  ma- 
terials and  we  will  use  them."  Remem- 
bered, too,  are  the  days  when  the  wail 
was,  "There  is  so  little  to  choose  from; 
we  will  start  using  AV  materials  when 
they  are  plentiful." 


Now,  when  quality  is  high  and  ma- 
terials are  abundant,  total  usage  is  lit- 
tle above  five  or  ten  years  ago.  There 
isn't  space  here  to  detail  the  reasons 
for  this,  but  this  much  can  be  said: 
the  topsoil  of  AV  motivation  and  AV 
know-how  in  the  average  church  is 
as  thin  as  it  was  a  decade  ago  and 
possibly  thinner.  How  can  a  decent 
crop  of  audiovisual  usage  be  grown 
on  an  inch  of  AV  motivation  and  un- 
derstanding? 

More  than  Production,  Utilization 
took  the  measure  of  the  Boulder  con- 
ferees. With  scanty  experience  in  this 
area,  and  with  the  handicap  of  the  de- 
lightful biases  of  preachers,  they  tend- 
ed to  flounder  in  a  sea  of  words. 

On  Training  there  was  some  rather

incisive  thinking.  If  this  was  by  acci- 
dent, let  us  be  thankful;  if  by  design, 
let  us  be  appreciative.  As  this  training 
task  was  distributed  among  the  var- 
ious agencies  which  touch  local 
church  and  educational  personnel, 
there  was  considerable  awareness  of 
educational  realities  as  well  as  ec- 
clesiastical amenities.  It  is  possible  that 
the  most  realistic  recommendations  of 
the  'consultation'  will  turn  out  to  be 
in  this  area.  But  let  us  not  be  kidded. 
Making  recommendations  to  top  level 
denominational  executives  is  not  to  be 
equated  with  getting  the  job  of  train- 
ing done  at  either  the  national,  state, 
council,  neighborhood  or  local  church 
level.  Both  talk  and  momeo  paper  is 
cheap.  It's  time  to  perform;  cut  bait 
or  go  fishing! 

One  thing  was  obvious  from  the 
very  beginning:  more  and  more  of 
those  who  work  at  the  tasks  of  the 
church  at  all  levels  know  less  and  less 
AV-wise.  We  have  just  about  gone  to 
seed.  We  have  been  content,  as  it 
were,  to  talk  to  each  other,  if  not  to 
ourselves.  This  AV  movement  within 
the  church  has  gotten  off  the  ground, 
away  from  the  realities.  We  are  one  of 
those  Nevada  rain-clouds.  There  is  a 
lot  of  water  up  there  and  some  of  it  is

falling.  But  it  never  hits  the  parched 
earth,  being  reabsorbed  into  the  at- 
mosphere. 

There  is  some  promising  new  leader- 
ship coming  along.  They  are  com- 
petent in  many  ways,  show  a  bias  of 
urgency,  are  allergic  to  denominational 
fence-building  and  ecclesiastical  fence- 
sitting.  They  want  progress,  for  the 
Kingdom  tarries.  Weary  of  talk,  they 
want  some  action.  May  their  tribe  in- 
crease! 

The  Consultation  slipped  its  clutch 
on  the  so-called  depth  analysis  of  sev- 
eral important  films.  It  seemed  pain- 
fully obvious  to  many  that  the  analysts 
had  a  superficial  grasp  of  the  meaning 
of  'depth  analysis'  and  a  scanty 
acquaintance  with  non-theatrical  reli- 
gious films.  On  the  second  go  at  it  the 
floundering  was  not  quite  so  pathetic. 

On  Sunday  night  the  Consultation 
spun  its  wheels  when  we  were  obliged 
to  view  some  very  inconsequential 
films  from  overseas.  A  screening  com- 
mittee, as  of  old,  could  have  spared 
us  this  waste  of  time.  And  waste  it 
was,  for  in  the  library  of  the  Con- 
sultation were  dozens  of  fine  films  un- 
seen and  unknown  by  most  of  those 
in  attendance.  And  right  here  let  me 
say  that  the  library  and  previewing 
operation  was  the  most  efficient  of 
the  Consultation.  The  scope  of  new 
materials,  in  both  filmstrips  and  films, 
was  most  impressive.  Many  of  those 
in  attendance  used  every  spare  mo- 
ment to  increase  their  familiarity  with 
the  67  films,  57  filmstrips  and  11 
recordings  on  hand.  For  the  most  part, 
only  important  new  material  came 
before  us  at  the  optional  late-evening 
previews. 

By  and  large  the  Consultation  was 
a  success.  It  was  refreshing  to  see  it 
turn  down  a  proposal  to  omit  such  a 
'workshop'  (at  Green  Lake,  Wiscon- 
sin) in  1961  in  the  interest  of  a  small 
convocation  of  top  denominational 
brass.  This  would  raise  that  rain-cloud 
even  higher  above  the  parched  earth. 
They  wanted  a  'Green  Lake'  in  1961, 
and  suggested  that  a  segment  of  it 
could  then  plan  for  the  1962  top  exec- 
utive AV  meeting. 

All  who  are  interested  in  going  be- 
yond these  comments  and  impressions 
are  encouraged  to  secure  the  Boulder 
Consultation  Findings  from  CAVBE, 
47.5  Riverside  Dr.,  New  York  27,  N.  Y. 


This  and  That 
From  Boulder 

•  In  the  'let's  dream'  session,  five  of 
the  ten  'dreamers'  wished  devoutly  for 
'truly  integrated'  materials,  meaning 
that  certain  units  of  the  curriculum 
continuum  should  appear  in  AV  for- 
mat. Pretty  good  dreaming,  I'd  say! 


•  Expert:  "Though  often  wrong,  he 
is  one  who  is  never  in  doubt."  Another 
definition:  "He  doesn't  know  any  more 
than  you  do  but  has  it  better  organized 
—and  uses  slides."  And  this:  "Ordi- 
nary man  and  his  ideas  a  considerable 
distance  from  home." 

•  The  food  and  the  fellowship  were 
tops  at  Boulder.  By  the  way,  just  who 
has  more  fun,  or  a  better  right  to  it, 
than  people  who  take  the  religious 
view  of  life?  Within  minutes  everyone 
was  acquainted;  within  hours  we 
were  all  friends.  What  a  goodly  fel- 
lowship AV  people  are! 

•  When  it  comes  to  teachers,  accord- 
ing to  Bob  de  Kieffer,  some  are  "un- 
conscious inefficient,"  some  "conscious 
inefficient,"  others  "conscious  ef- 
ficient," and  only  a  few  are  "uncon- 
scious efficient." 

•  For  over-all  technical  excellence, 
honors  go  to  the  two  motion  pictures 
Windows  of  the  Soul  ( Moody  Institute 
of  Science)  and  From  Generation  to 
Generation  (McGraw-Hill).  Runner- 
up:  One  Love:  Conflicting  Faiths 
(Methodist  Radio  and  TV  Commit- 
tee). 

•  Sad  reflection:  Early-birds  around 
the  coffee  urn  just  stand  there  and 
gab,  never  thinking  to  move  out  of  the 
way  so  others  can  get  up  to  the  source 
of  supply  rather  than  stand  afar  with 
their  mouths  watering. 


Coming  Up  Here 

In  November  we  will  review  a  num- 
ber of  important  new  films  and  film- 
strips  and  evaluate  them  critically  in 
terms  of  quality  and  utility. 

This  fall  we  will  try  to  indicate 
some  'frontier'  uses  in  the  church  for 
'captured'  and  created  audio  materials 
which  are  available  to  alert  church 
leaders  here  and  abroad. 

We  also  invite  a  1000-word  article 
on  two  subjects:  "Steps  A  Beginning 
User  of  Audiovisual  Aids  Can  Take;" 
and  "How  A  Local  Church  Can  Get 
Started  in  The  Use  of  Audiovisual 
Aids."  The  past  tense  is  acceptable,  of 
course,  if  you  have  something  to  re- 
port on  either  of  these  subjects.  (Yes, 
I'd  settle  for  a  little  more  or  a  little 
less  than  that  thousand  words!) 

We  hope  to  get  an  article  on  how 
to  set  a  unit  of  learning  into  the  ex- 
perience continuum  of  a  church  school 
class,  and  stitch  it  fast  so  that  it  does 
not  fall  out.  Or  put  another  way,  how 
to  wring  the  educational  juice  out  of 
an  audiovisual  aid.

Election  Addenda 

It's  still  not  too  late  to  give  depth 
and  perspective  to  the  current  elec- 
tion campaign  boiHng  up  around  all 
of  us.  Have  your  students  given 
thought  to  what  the  recent  post-con- 
vention session  of  Congress  meant  to 
local  and  national  candidate-congress- 
men? It  may  be  just  the  time,  now, 
to  introduce  Howard  Langer's  inter- 
view of  Senator  Margaret  Chase  Smith 
(Folkways  FC  7352)  in  which  the 
senator  from  Maine  discusses  her  work 
in  the  Senate,  her  views  on  particular 
issues  and  her  relations  with  her  con- 
stituents in  Maine.  Or  you  may  prefer 
Mr.  Langer's  interview  of  Jim  Farley 
(Folkways  FC  7355)  and  hear  the 
former  postmaster  general  and  cam- 
paigner extraordinary  discuss  Amer- 
ican politics,  political  machines  and  a 
variety  of  other  subjects  pertinent  to 
this  campaign. 

You  may  want  to  help  students  find 
the  "off  the  record"  side  of  politicians 
on  The  Un-typical  Politician  (Folk- 
ways FH  5501).  This  recording  uti- 
lizes the  voices  of  Al  Smith,  Franklin 
Delano  Roosevelt,  Dwight  D.  Eisen- 
hower, Harry  Truman,  Adlai  Steven- 
son, Thomas  E.  Dewey  and  many 
others.  In  this  recording  you  will  find 
some  of  the  past  conventions  brought 
to  new  life  through  the  sounds  record- 
ed on  the  scene;  you  will  hear  cam- 
paign songs  as  well  as  campaign 
humor  and  you  will,  of  course,  hear 
portions   of   campaign   speeches. 

We  are  told  that  the  current  cam- 
paign will  be  the  subject  of  docu- 
mentary records,  and  we  hope  that 
is  true.  For  by  way  of  review,  once 
the  heat  of  the  day  has  passed,  such 
a  summary  of  the  events  of  these  days 
will  be  an  invaluable  teaching  tool 
for  both  immediate  use  and  reuse  four 
years  from  now  when  a  new  crop  of 
students,  ine.xperienced  in  campaigns 
and  political  life,  will  be  seeking  a 
point  of  view  from  which  to  examine 
another  campaign.  Campaign— 1960  or 
whatever  name  it  carries  will  enrich 
school  audio  collections  and  make  it 
possible  quickly  and  efficiently  to  give 
tomorrow's  student  the  depth  and  per- 
spective he  seeks. 

"We,  the  peoples  . . . 

of  the  United  Nations,  determined  to 
save  succeeding  generations  from  the 
source  of  war "  is  the  opening 


phrase  of  the  magnificent  document 
which  may  mean  to  the  world  what 
our  own  Declaration  of  Independence 
and  Constitution  have  meant  to  us. 
The  Preamble  to  the  Charter  of  the 
United  Nations  summarizes  in  com- 
paratively few  words  mankind's  hopes, 
goals  and  ideals. 

And  this  is  the  subject  of  a  new 
documentary  recording  offered  by 
Enrichment  Teaching  Materials.  Their 
Preamble  to  the  United  Nations  Char- 
ter (EAD  6B)  is  a  summary  of  the 
events  which  led  up  to  the  presenta- 
tion of  this  document  to  the  world. 
The  concise  history  must,  of  course, 
begin  with  the  end  of  peace  in  1939 
and  involvement  of  the  world  in 
armed  conflict  in  the  years  which  fol- 
lowed. The  recording  includes  dis- 
cussion of  the  high  level  conferences 
involving  national  leaders  which  pre- 
ceded the  end  of  World  War  II  and 
the  international  conference  in  San 
Francisco  which  organized  itself  to 
produce  the  document. 

The  closing  of  the  recording  in- 
cludes a  complete  reading  of  the  Pre- 
amble to  the  United  Nations  charter 
and  offers  the  teacher  a  dramatic 
device  by  which  to  introduce  this 
statement  of  man's  aspirations  to  stu- 
dents. 

This  recording  has  built-in  instruc- 
tional advantages  for  upper  elemen- 
tary and  junior  high  school  students. 
These  are,  all  of  them,  children  whose 
knowledge  of  the  horrors  of  war  can 


come  only  from  reading,  television  and 
motion  pictures.  These  children  can- 
not grasp  the  high  motives  of  inter- 
national organization  unless  these  are 
presented  simply,  and  directly.  The 
alert  teacher  can  use  such  a  record- 
ing as  a  motivation  for  role-playing 
in  a  classroom  re-enactment  of  the 
San  Francisco  meeting  of  1945.  The 
recording  can  be  used,  too,  to  present 
simply  and  directly  the  document 
basic  to  the  record,  or  it  can  be  used 
to   summarize  already  completed   in-

W«^stoii  Woods  Studios  has  rp-parkagcd  their  "Picture  Book  Parade"  series 
in  sound  filmstrip  sets:  four  individual  fihnstrips,  their  text  booklets,  and  a

struction  or  to  review  that  which  has 
been  studied  beforehand.  School  libra- 
ries which  make  a  practice  of  lending 
recordings  as  they  lend  books  will  find 
this  is  a  popular  and  valuable  addi- 
tion to  the  record  collection  and  suited 
to  the  needs  of  students. 

Appropriately,  the  "flip"  side  of  this 
recording  looks  backward  into  an  earli- 
er generation  which  attempted  world 
organization  for  the  peaceful  pursuit 
of  mankind's  objectives.  Woodroiv 
Wilsons  Fourteen  Points  (Enrich- 
ment Teaching  Materials  EAD  6A) 
takes  the  student  back  into  1918  and 
mirrors  the  feeling  of  the  people  and 
the  time  through  the  then  popular 
songs.  The  recording  summarizes  the 
atmosphere  in  which  Woodrow  Wilson 
went  before  the  Congress  in  January, 
1918,  and  delivered  his  statement 
viewing  fundamental  requirements  for 
a  lasting  peace.  These  fourteen  points 
went  with  him  to  Paris  and  one  of 


them,  the  organization  of  a  League 
of  Nations,  became  a  reality  without 
full  American  support. 

The  recording  is  designed  to  sup- 
ply for  that  period  what  the  recording 
about  the  UN  supplies  for  this  period, 
and  the  listening  student  cannot  help 
but  develop  an  attitude  of  understand- 
ing and  appreciation  for  the  wisdom  of 
Woodrow  Wilson,  his  humility  and  his 
desire  to  serve  the  world  by  creating 
the  foundations  for  a  just  and  lasting 
peace.  As  in  the  UN  recording,  this 
too  summarizes  at  the  conclusion  by 
a  simple  restatement  of  the  basic 
points  which  Wilson  enunciated. 

And,  as  its  companion  recording, 
this  is  suitable  to  upper  elementary 
and  junior  high  school  students  study- 
ing this  period  of  man's  development 
and  may  be  used  for  motivation,  for 
the  presentation  of  fundamental  in- 
formation or  for  summary  and  follow- 
up.

Politics-Perpetually 

Playwrights  and  authors  have  al- 
ways been  fascinated  by  government 
and  politics  and  have  recorded  the 
history  of  many  real  and  legendary 
characters  in  political  drama.  William 
Shakespeare  is  no  exception.  Early  in 
the  17th  century  he  set  down  the 
story  of  King  Lear  (Spoken  Word 
SW-A9)  who  decided  to  abdicate  his 
throne  in  favor  of  his  daughters  in 
proportion  to  their  love  for  him.  The 
youngest  daughter,  Cordelia,  expresses 
lier  love  in  terms  of  the  proper  af- 
fection a  daughter  should  show  her 
father,  and  is  disinherited.  But  her 
two  older  sisters  divide  the  kingdom. 

Selfishness,  greed  and  jealousy 
bring  about  the  downfall  of  the  dy- 
nasty which  Lear  sought  to  establish. 
The  elder  sister,  Goneril,  poisons  her 
younger  sister  and  later  puts  an  end 
to  her  own  life.  Cordelia,  who  has 
come  from  France  to  aid  her  father 
is  captured  and  dies  in  jail,  and  Lear 
also  perishes. 

A  complete,  full  length  recording 
of  the  play  is  presented.  The  produc- 
tion, a  performance  by  the  Dublin 
Gate  Theatre,  is  read  from  the  O.xford 
edition  of  the  play.  Anew  McMaster 
directed  the  fine  performance  and 
leading  roles  are  played  by  Mr. 
McMaster  (Lear),  Eve  Watkinson 
(Goneril),  Nancy  Manningham  (Reg- 
an) and  Jillian  Gotts  (Cordelia). 

Classes  studying  this  play  will  find 
that  the  action  and  the  language  have 
new  clarity  as  they  hear  the  play  and 
follow  it  in  their  texts  simultaneously. 
Certainly  this  can  be  used  for  a  variety 
of  instructional  activities  far  beyond 
the  classroom. 

Public  libraries  can  plan  the  presen- 
tation on  a  single  performance  or  a 
serial  basis.  So,  too,  can  college  libra- 
ries wanting  to  offer  extra  experiences 
beyond  the  classroom  for  interested 
students  and  faculty  members. 

And  in  any  discussion  of  politics 
and  the  theatre  the  play  Julius  Caesar 
(Spoken  Word  SW-A15)  cannot  be 
overlooked.  This  is  an  equally  highly 
considered  performance  of  the  Shakes- 
peare play,  performed  by  the  Dublin 
Gate  Theatre.  This  recording,  as  is 
true  of  the  King  Lear  just  mentioned, 
is  complete  and  unabridged  and  is 
taken  from  the  Oxford  edition. 

An  additional  use  of  this  recording 
is  suggested.  Not  infrequently  this 
is  the  first  Shakespeare  play  (this  or 
Macbeth)  which  is  introduced  in 
classrooms  for  close  study.  And  this 
introduction  may  be  in  the  senior 
liigh  school  or  in  the  latter  portion 
of  the  junior  high  school.  Certainly  in 
this  instance,  close  listening  for  com-

)reIiension  is  an  essential  to  apprecia- 
ion,  and  thus  is  Julius  Caesar  sug- 
;ested  for  introduction  at  this  level 
if  instruction. 

Close  study  of  the  audience  Shakes- 
)eare  approached  and  charmed  gives 
nany  parallels  with  our  younger  stu- 
lents.  Shakespeare  wrote  to  be  heard, 
lot  read.  His  effort  was  to  please  a 
•omparatively  socially  inexperienced 
ludience  which  understood  wh.at  was 
laid  and  seen  but  may  not  have  higli 
iterary  accomplishments  from  a  read- 
ng  standpoint.  So  be  it!  We,  then,  as 
eachers  have  an  obligation  to  intro- 
luce  this  man's  work  in  the  natural 
;nvironment  of  sound  so  that  ap- 
)reciations  can  be  developed.  With 
he  present  availability  of  many  fine, 
uU-length  productions  of  Shakes- 
peare's plays  there  can  be  no  reason 
or  ignoring  the  presentation  of  this 
dramatic  work  in  sound  for  the  ap- 
jreciation  and  understanding  of  mod- 
em  students. 

Sometimes  politics  seems  timeless 
—and  this  indeed  is  true  of  the  story 
Robin  Hood  (Libraphone  J  1620). 
This   is   a   complete   reading    by   Ian 


Martin  of  the  story  so  happily  adopted 
by  all  children.  They  will  meet  Robin 
Hood  and  all  his  outlawed  companions 
in  Sherwood  Forest.  Little  John,  Friar 
Tuck,  Allan-a-Dale,  Will  Scarlet  and 
Will  Stiitley  are  all  there  to  fascinate 
young  people  in  this  excellent  straight 
reading.  Obvious  application  is  for 
the  upper  elementary  grades. 

Libraphone  Records  are  intended, 
primarily,  for  those  who  are  sightless 
or  have  limited  vision.  These  are  rec- 
orded at  the  slow  speed  of  16.67 
revolutions  per  minute  and  approxi- 
mately one  full  hour  of  sound  is  in- 
cluded on  one  side  of  a  single  record. 

Of  course  the  use  of  such  records  is 
not  limited  to  handicapped  children 
or  adults.  This  recording  may  be  heard 
in  class— chapter  by  chapter,  as  an 
introduction  to  this  type  of  book. 
Or  the  teacher  may  elect  to  have  the 
superior  reading  of  Ian  Martin  present 
the  first  few  chapters  and  then  rely 
on  the  imagination  and  interest  of  the 
children  to  lead  to  additional  reading. 
The  uses  are  many  and  varied  and 
the  application  most  probably  will  be 
in  the  fifth  and  sixth  grades. 


Something  New  at  NAVA 

Doing  the  round  of  the  exhibits  at 
the  National  Audio  Visual  Conven- 
tion last  August  we  were  impressed 
by  the  tremendous  project  undertaken 
by  the  Academic  Recording  Institute 
of  3060  Locke  Lane,  Houston  19, 
Texas.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mack  Reed  have 
already  produced  50  recordings  in 
five  subjects.  The  overall  titles  are 
Taste  and  Genius  in  the  Arts,  The 
Philosophical  Perspective,  The  Nature 
of  Human  Nature,  Morison  by  Land 
and  by  Sea  and  Politics:  The  Folklore 
of  Government.  The  voices  exploring 
these  subjects  in  some  depth  are  John 
Mason  Brown,  Charles  Frankel,  Ash- 
ley Montagu,  Samuel  Eliot  Morison 
and  C.  Northcote  Parkinson. 

The  recording  companies  mention- 
ed in  this  summary  of  recent  release 
include  Folkways  of  117  West  46th 
Street,  New  York  36;  Enrichment 
Teaching  Materials  of  246  Fifth  Ave- 
nue, New  York  1;  Spoken  Word,  10

NEW 
projection  screen 
now  enables  you 
to  view  pictures  in 
semi-darkened  rooms 

It  Is  true  that  you  can  project  better  pictures 
in  darkened  rooms— but  there  are  many 
times  when  room  darkening  is  inconvenient, 
difficult  and  costly.  Now,  with  the  new  Radiant 
exclusive  "truly  lenticular"  screen,  which 
controls  both  horizontal  and  vertical  light 
reflection,  you  can  project  slides  and  movies 
effectively  in  normally  or  partially  lighted 
rooms  where  no  unusual  lighting  conditions 
prevail.  For  schools— this  enables  viewers 
to  take  notes  during  showings,  minimizes 
inattention  and  misbehavior,  and  permits 
simultaneous  use  of  collateral  material. 

Send  for  Illustrated  Booklet 

which  gives  the  complete  ex- 1 
planation  of  this  new  truly  lentic- 
ular screen,  also  catalog  giving 
specifications  and   prices  of  | 
Radiant's  complete  line  of  lentic-

of  every  type  for  every  purpose.

Mrs.  Mary  Lou  Plugge,  Chairman  of  the  Department  of  Speech  and  Dramatic 
Arts  at  Adelfhi  College  in  New  York,  finds  her  Norelco  'Continental'  tape 
recorder  an  essential  tool  in  speech  instruction.  Here  Mrs.  Plugge  illustrates,  to 
her  lovely  student  Carol  Samisch,  the  proper  way  to  produce  a  sound.  MiSS 
Samisch,  in  turn,  repeats  the  sound  into  the  tape  recorder  so  that  she  may  listen 
to  an  accurate  reproduction  of  her  own  voice  and  compare  it.  Says  Mrs.  Plugge, 
"My  Norelco  tape  recorder  is  valuable  to  me  for  a  number  of  reasons.  There  is 
an  impressive  tone  quality  in  its  reproduction  of  sound.  Concomitant  with  this  is 
the  aid  of  the  mechanical  pause  button  which  allows  me  to  stop  to  analyze  progress 
without  turning  off  the  inachine.  The  control  over  recording  is  such  that  the  possi- 
bility of  accidental  erasure  is  completely  eliminated."  The  NORELCO  'Continental' 
is  a  product  of  North  American  Philips  Co.,  Inc.,  High  Fidelity  Products  Division, 
Dept.  ISIO.  230  Duffy  Avenue,  Hicksville,  Long  Island,  New  York.

VENETIAN  BLIND  DOV\^NI 


Because,  not  only  are  LEVOLOR  installation 
brackets  made  of  heavier,  stronger  metal,  but 
LEVOLOR  installation  brackets  have  a  two-way 
safety  catch.  Even  when  not  completely  locked,  the 
blind  cannot  come  down. 


Information  that  insures  the  best  installation  pos- 
sible is  a  service  all  LEVOLOR  representatives  will 
give  you.  They  will  submit  a  prospectus  covering 
every  detail  of  your  Venetian  Blind  installation— help 
with  the  specifications  and  make  a  final  inspection 
aftej-  the  blinds  are  installed.  It  is  a  service  that  guar- 
antees good  specifications  and  good  Venetian  Blinds.

EXTRAORDINARY     AN  NOUNCEMENT - 

PHOTOPLAY  STUDIES 
Comes  of  Age—! 

The  NATIONAL  COUNCIL  OF  TEACHERS  OF  ENG- 
LISH, beginning  with  the  academic  year  1960-61,  will  pviblish 
a  monthly  magazine  called 

MASS  MEDIA  STUDIES 

This  will  include  Photoplay  Studies,  as  well  as  Drama 
Studies.  Ti'tevision  Studies,  Magazine  Studies,  Newspaper 
Studies,  and  other  mass  media  studies  from  time  to  time. 

The  NCTE,  now  planning  a  50th  Golden  Anniversary  con- 
vention, has  60,000  members.  The  organization  has  a  new 
headquarters  building  at  Champaign,  Illinois. 

The  general  editor  of  the  new  Studies  is  Dr.  Joseph  Mer- 
sand.  He  is  a  past  president  of  the  NCTH  Dr.  Mersand  is  a 
leader  in  the  movement  to  include  in  the  teaching  of  English 
a  critical  appreciation  of  America's  mass  media.  The  aim  of 
this  movement  is  to  build  "natural  censorship"  by  develop- 
ing independent  critical  judgment. 

The  photoplay-appreciation  movement  started  in  1934, 
when  the  NCTE  published  Dr.  William  Lewin's  pioneer 
monograph  on  Photoplay  Appreciation  In  American  High 
Schools.  The  following  year  (19,35)  Photoplay  Studies  was 
launched  by  Lewin  and  the  late  Max  J.  Herzberg.  It  has 
appeared  in  the  same  format  for  25  years.

Kansas  City  Schools  To 
Have  Own  TV  Station 

The  Kansas  City  School  District, 
whose  educational  telecasts  have  been 
carried  by  the  city's  three  commercial 
stations  for  the  past  three  years,  soon 
will  operate  its  own  TV  outlet,  KCSD- 
TV. 

J.  Glerm  Travis,  administrative  as- 
sistant to  the  superintendent  of  schools 


and  head  of  the  educational  TV  study, 
said  the  new  station's  educational  tele- 
casts will  be  available  to  all  of  the  dis- 
trict's 68,000  students.  Channel  19 
will  begin  operating  with  41/2  hours 
of  programming  per  day  and  will  build 
to  seven  hours  daily,  according  to  the 
projected  schedule. 

The  district  has  used  television  in 
its  school  system  since  1957  when 
KCMO-TV  made  air  time  available  to 
telecast  fifth  grade  Geography  of  Asia. 
With  television  receivers  borrowed 
from  local  distributors,  the  telecasts 
were  piped  to  about  half  the  80 
schools. 

KCSD-TV  studios  will  occupy  the 
II th  floor  of  the  new  public  library- 
school  administration  building  in  Kan- 
sas City.  Receiving  units  will  be  in- 
stalled in  all  elementary  and  secondary 
schools  in  the  district.

EFLA  Announces  Three 
Meetings  For  November 

The  Educational  Film  Library  As- 
sociation has  announced  three  regional 
meetings  to  be  attended  by  its  national 
membership  during  November.  Emily 
S.  Jones,  administrative  director  of 
EFLA,  reports  that  all  three  meetings 
will  feature  screenings  of  new  films  of 
unusual  interest,  as  well  as  demonstra- 
tions, conferences  and  discussion  ses- 
sions. 

The  Eastern  regional  meeting  will 
be  held  November  3-4  at  the  Carnegie 
International  Center  in  New  York  City 
under  the  joint  sponsorship  of  EFLA 
and  the  New  York  Film  Council.  The 
Central  regional  meeting  is  scheduled 
for  November  10-12  at  the  Pick-Fort 
Shelby  Hotel  in  Detroit.  Presiding 
chairman  will  be  James  Limbacher  of 
the  Dearborn  Ptiblic  Library.  The 
Western  regional  meeting  will  be  in 
session  November  18-19  in  Tucson  on 
the  campus  of  the  University  of  Ari- 
zona, under  the  chairmanship  of  Mrs.

U.  of  Wisconsin  Opens  New 
Long  Distance  TV  Course 

A  new  long  distance  closed  circuit 
TV  course  in  electrical  engineering  is 
underway  at  the  studios  of  WH.\-TV 
on  the  University  of  Wisconsin  cam- 
pus. Three  classes  of  students  meeting 
simultaneously,  two  in  Milwaukee  and 
one  in  Madison,  are  enrolled  in  the 
pioneering  TV  course. 

The  UW  has  experimented  with 
closed  circuit  TV  classes  previously, 
but  only  between  buildings  on  the 
Madison  campus. 

The  sttidents  in  the  three  widely 
separated  classes  will  see  and  hear 
Prof.  Wayne  Swift,  of  the  UW  electri- 
cal engineering  department,  lecture  in 
the  course.  Through  the  use  of  "audio

Why  are  Coronet  Films 
invariably  the  choice 
when  teachers  are 
concerned  with  film  selection? 


The  skilled  teacher— thoroughly  familiar  with  the  curriculum 
and  highly  sensitive  to  classroom  needs— is  constantly  search- 
ing for  supplementary  materials  to  enrich  each  unit  of 
instruction. 

The  main  requirement  is  that  these  materials  meet  the 
needs  of  the  modern  curriculum  and  that  they  not  only 
complement,  but  also  extend  and  clarify  the  textbook  . . .  the 
basic  teaching  tool  in  the  classroom.  The  teacher  is  quick  to 
recognize  that  Coronet  films  do  exactly  this . . .  that  they 
reflect  the  curriculum  precisely  as  she  knows  it  from  her 
day-to-day  classroom  experience. 

Why  do  Coronet  films  have  this  instantly  recognizable 
quality?  .  .  .  because  for  twenty  years  their  production  has 
been  governed  by  a  single  aim:  to  make  only  those  films  which 
truly  correlate  with  the  course  of  study  and  the  textbooks 
which  are  used  most  widely. 

CORONET    FILMS 


To  become  better  acquainted 
with  Coronet  films  for  classroom 
use,  simply  select  preview 
prints  of  your  choice  from  the 
current  catalogue  of  nearly 
1,000  Coronet  fi.lms.  For  detailed 
information  on  the  extent 
to  which  Coronet  films  correlate 
with  the  curriculum,  write 
for  a  handsome,  new  chart  which 
outlines  the  exact  relationship 
between  more  than  100  Coronet 
science  films  and  30  leading 
textbooks  used  widely  in 
grades  4,  5,  and  6.  Ask  for 
"Intermediate  Science  Chart."

the  students  will  have  the  opportiunty 
to  question  their  professor  and  hear 
tlieir  answers  immediately. 

Of  the  three  classes,  the  one  on  the 
UW's  Madison  campus  will  be  only  a 
few  hundred  feet  from  the  \V'HA-TV 
studios,  in  the  University's  Education 
Building.  The  two  classes  in  Milwau-

Illinois  School  For  Blind 
Using  Recordings  of  Texts 

Blind  people  are  now  using  record- 
ings of  high  .school  and  college  texts. 

The  recordings,  called  "talking  text- 
books," are  being  used  for  the  third 
successive  year  by  the  Hadley  School 
for  the  Blind,  a  correspondence  in- 
stitution for  the  blind  located  in  Win- 
netka.  111.  According  to  Donald  W. 
Hathaway,  the  s  c  h  o  o  1'  s  executive 
director,  the  recorded  texts  help  the 
student  learn  faster,  better,  and  with 
more  rapport  with  the  instructor. 

"Currently  1.50  blind  students  out 
of  the  total  enrollment  of  1,.500  are 
using  the  recordings,"  Hathaway  said. 
"Within  ten  years,  we  expect  half  our 
enrollment  to  be  using  records  instead

"Cinema  16"  to  Present 
Varied  Film  Offerings 

Cinema  16,  America's  largest  film 
society,  will  present  16  programs  of 
new  features,  international  prize  win- 
ners and  rarely  seen  classics  during  its 
forthcoming  14th  season,  opening  Oc- 
tober 23rd.  The  fare  will  include  a 
festival  of  prizewinning  films  from 
France,  two  programs  presented  in  co- 
operation with  Unifrance,  featuring 
more  than  20  prizewinners  not  previ- 
ously seen  in  the  U.S.,  including  Sim- 
enon,  first  documentary  of  the  famed 
novelist,  showing  his  unorthodox  work 
habits. 

Cinema  16's  performances  are  pre- 
sented at  two  of  New  York's  well- 
known  art  theatres,  the  Beekman  and 
the  Murray  Hill;  and  at  the  Fashion 
Industries  Auditorium. 

New  Math  Teaching  System 
To  Undergo  Test  Program 

One  of  the  largest  test  programs 
ever  conducted  to  evaluate  a  new  edu- 
cational system  was  described  to  57 
top  educators  from  3.5  states  and  Can- 
ada during  a  two-day  conference  Au- 
gust 26-27  at  Hollins  College,  Roa- 
noke, Va. 

The  session  was  convened  to  discuss 
a  proposed  new  method  for  teaching 
mathematics.  The  unique  system, 
based  on  a  series  of  specially  designed 
"programs,"  was  explained  to  state 
math  directors,  education  supevisors 
and  teachers  by  officials  of  Encyclo- 
paeda  Britannica  Films  and  Hollins 
College,  which  will  administer  the 
project  jointly. 

Dr.  E.  W.  Rushton,  superintendent 
of  schools  in  Roanoke,  said  that  the 
city's  participation  in  the  testing  pro- 
gram, to  be  held  in  five  U.S.  cities  be- 
ginning in  September,  grew  out  of  a 
decision  last  year  to  relate  high  school 
instruction  techniques  to  college  teach- 
ing practices. 

To  expedite  this  nioneering  effort. 
Dr.  Rushton  said,  the  school  system 
enlisted  the  cooperation  of  the  Roan- 
oke school  board,  children  selected  for 
the  special  program  and  the  teacher 
and  principal  of  the  school  in  which 
the  I960  test  was  conducted.

. . .  EASIEST  TO  THREAD,  SIMPLEST 
TO  OPERATE 

Almost  anybody  can  thread  an  RCA  "Life-Tested"* 
16mm  Projector  in  less  than  30  seconds.  Its  exclusive 
Thread-Easy  film  path  is  the  simplest  and  most  direct 
in  the  16mm  field.  Even  amateurs  can  screen  every 
show  with  professional-like  ease. 

RCA  engineers  continually  search  for  new  ways  to  make 
RCA  projectors  even  longer-lasting  and  easier  to  operate. 
As  new  ideas  are  proved  valuable,  they  become  part  of 
RCA  Projector  design. 

For  example,  the  latest  "Life-Tested"  Projectors  incor- 
porate a  nylon  film  pressure  shoe  which  is  kinder  to  film, 
quieter  operating  and  so  durable  that  it  probably  will  not 
require  replacing  during  the  normal  lifetime  of  the  pro- 
jector. New,  too,  is  a  one-piece,  precision  tooled  inter- 
mittent cam  and  gear  which  replaces  a  3-part  assembly. 
A  new  claw  design  accommodates  new  or  old  film  with 
equal  facility  and  reduces  film  handling  noise  to  a  hush. 
Like  most  changes,  these  are  not  readily  visible,  but  are 


contributing  substantially  to  the  smooth  operation  and 
dependable  performance  you  expect  from  RCA  Projectors. 
This  is  the  important  kind  of  design  change,  the  kind 
that  keeps   RCA   Projectors   always  ahead  in    16mm. 

Competitive  comparisons  have  sold  thousands  of  RCA 
Projectors.  Make  your  own  .  .  .  you'll  go  RCA ! 

Your  RCA  Audio-  Visual  Dealer  has  full  details 
on  RCA  "Life-Tested"  Projectors  and  other  electronic 
aids  to  education.  Look  for  his  number  under  "Motion 
Picture  Equipment  and  Supplies"  in  your  Classified 
Directory.  He  will  be  glad  to  come  to  your  school 
to  give  you  a  demonstration.

400  Hear  Experts,  Attend  Workshops 
At  Fall  Meeting  Of  Illinois  AV  Assn. 


There  was  "something  for  everyone" 
at  the  fall  meeting  of  the  Illinois 
Audiovisual  Association,  held  at  the 
Aurora  (East)  High  School,  in  Aurora 
Sept.  29-Oct.  1. 

Schools  vv'ere  closed  to  permit  all 
teachers  to  attend  this  specifically 
audiovisual  education  institute,  and 
more  than  300  Aurora  teachers  min- 
gled with  another  hundred  or  more 
members  of  lAVA  fom  all  over  the 
state. 

The  opening  general  assembly, 
chaired  by  Dr.  Robert  Campbell,  di- 
rector of  instruction  and  curriculum  of 
the  Aurora  schools,  featured  an  all-out 
endorsement  of  modern  teaching  tools 
and  methods  in  the  opening  address 
by  Superintendent  Norman  S.  Greene. 
He  left  no  doubt  about  his  high  re-

V.  B.  Lamath,  University  of  Bombay, 
talked  on  "The  Philippines,  Japan  and 
India." 

During  the  mid-morning  and  lunch- 
eon intermissions  and  again  at  the 
close  of  the  afternoon  sessions  an  ex- 
tensive commercial  display  of  equip- 
ment and  materials  drew  excellent 
attendance. 

Most  of  the  afternoon  was  taken  up 
b\'  19  different  workshops  in  as  many 
classrooms.  Five  of  the  23  demonstra- 
tors in  charge  of  these  workshops  were 
commercial  men,  seven  were  class- 
room teachers,  six  were  supervisory 
personnel  in  active  service  in  the  Auro- 
ra system,  and  five  were  visiting  AV 
"experts"  attending  the  state  meeting. 

Elizabeth  Bloss,  local  AV  director, 
and  chairman  of  the  committee  that 
planned  the  meeting,  had  selected  the 
workshop  topics  specifically  requested 
by  the  teachers  in  her  system.  There 
were  demonstrations  of  audiovisual 
techniques  in  subject  areas  ranging 
from  art  through  zoology. 

The  two  evening  and  the  Saturday 
morning  sessions,  held  at  a  downtown 
hotel,  were  attended  mainly  by  the 
hundred  or  more  lAVA  members.  The 
first  of  these,  on  Thursday,  featured 
separate  sessions  for  four  professional 
interest  groups— college-university,  sec- 
ondary-elementary, library,  and  in- 
dustry. The  latter,  meeting  as  a  sep- 
arate professional  group  for  the  first 
time,  worked  out  a  most  promising 
program  of  active  service  in  support  of 
the  educators'  activities." 

The  Friday  evening  session  was  a 
"What's  New"  report  by  William  F. 
Kru.se,  visualized  on  an  opaque  pro- 
jector and  a  6-foot  screen.  The  report 
covered  8mm  sound-on-film,  video- 
tape and  stratovision,  thermoplastic 
tape,  sound-on-filmstrip,  and  tutoring 
machines.  The  report  on  the  last 
named  was  supplemented  by  James 
Brown,  representing  the  Rheem-Cali- 
fone  Corporation. 

At  its  business  meeting  lAVA 
adopted  a  proposal  by  DuPage  Coun- 
ty superintendent  Roy  DeShane  to 
promote  the  formation  of  intermediate 
school  district  activity  in  AV,  special 
education  and  similar  cooperative 
programs.  Continuation  of  the  AV  Ed- 
ucation Forum  in  conjunction  with 
NAVA  was  voted,  and  Tom  Board- 
man,  University  of  Illinois,  and  Wil- 
liam F.  Kruse  were  named  as  co- 
chairmen.  Newly  elected  to  the  execu- 
tive committee  are  Norma  Bartz,  AV 
director  at  N  i  1  e  s  Township  High

Concern 

For 

A 

Dynamic 

Image 


Paul  C.  Reed 


582 


Ever  since  the  advent  of  projected  pictures,  the  visual  education 
specialist  has  been  concerned  about  images.  He  wants  the  picture 
on  the  screen  to  be  bright  and  clear.  He  wants  to  get  the  image 
there  at  the  precise  time  the  teacher  needs  it.  He  wants  the  image 
to  resemble  reality  as  closely  as  possible.  He  is  really  concerned 
about  the  quality  of  the  image— the  one  on  the  projection  screen. 
But  what  about  the  image  he  projects  of  himself  as  an  audiovisual 
educator? 

Should  the  audiovisual  specialist  be  concerned  about  his  own 
image?  Should  he  care  what  others  think  his  job  is  or  should  be? 
A  public  image  is  something  a  politician  worries  about  because  this 
influences  elections.  Great  corporations  must  be  concerned  about 
images  because  this  makes  the  difference  between  profits  and  more 
profits.  The  lawyer,  the  doctor,  the  artist,  the  teacher,  and  other 
professionals  must  be  concerned  about  their  images  because  this 
determines  their  prestige,  their  self-esteem,  and  their  incomes,  too. 

Audiovisual  educators  must  also  be  concerned  about  their  owi] 
image  because  not  only  does  this  determine  the  kind  of  job  the 
will  do,  but  it  may  even  determine  their  survival.  For  the  audio 
visual  educator,  the  "public  image"  isn't  important.  But  the  ima£ 
he  holds  of  himself  is.  And  his  image  as  perceived  by  his  supervisor 
and  superintendents  will  determine  whether  or  not  this  educationa 
specialist  is  needed  to  meet  education's  needs  today  and  tomorrov 

If  the  audiovisual  specialist  is  going  to  survive  in  an  age  whe 
continuing  technological  advances  promise  perpetual  revolutions  in 
the  speed  and  methods  of  communication,  he  must  create  an  image 
worth  surviving.  Furthermore,  this  image  of  the  modern  audiovisual 
or  technological  specialist,  more  than  that  of  any  other  educator, 
must  be  a  dynamic  one,  geared  to  the  future  of  education. 

Creating  this  dynamic  image  is  not  a  task  for  the  professional 
image  makers.  Madison  Avenue  and  the  PR  boys  may  be  needed 
later,  but  this  isn't  a  first  step.  Nor  can  the  creation  of  new  dynamic 
images  be  left  to  the  professional  organizations,  the  conferences, 
and  the  professional  magazines.  These  can  only  help. 

The  creation  of  the  image  is  the  task  of  the  individual.  In  the 
audiovisual  field,  the  creation  of  a  dynamic  image  capable  of  sur- 
viving must  be  the  concern  and  responsibility  of  every  single  p>erson 
claiming  audiovisual  communication  as  his  specialty.  Everything  he 
is  and  does  on  the  job  will  contribute  to  that  image.  But  a  dynamic 
image  cannot  be  created  from  a  tintype  character  on  a  treadmill. 

If  a  dynamic  image  is  to  exist  and  persist,  the  reality  of  the  audio- 
visual specialist  at  work  must  disclose  an  educator  more  concerned 
with  the  ends  of  education  than  the  means.  He  must  be  more  able 
to  create  an  idea  than  a  photograph;  more  able  to  sense  the  signifi- 
cance of  new  equipment  than  to  lift  it;  more  interested  in  the  use 
of  a  machine  than  oiling  it.  He  should  be  more  interested  in  the 
film  than  in  the  machine  that  projects  it;  more  interested  in  the  pic- 
ture than  the  substance  upon  which  it's  printed;  more  concerned 
with  what  happens  to  the  mind  that  is  learning  than  in  anything 
else. 

Back  in  the  thirties,  I  knew  personally  and  watched  despairingly 
as  an  educator  who  had  been  a  dynamic  leader  in  the  visual  field 
finished  out  his  educational  career  decrying  the  newfangled  motion 
picture  and  declaiming  the  solid  merits  of  the  3y4x4  lanteni  slide. 
Throughout  the  fifties  some  audiovisual  educators  kept  hurling  in- 
vectives hoping  to  bar  television  from  their  exclusive  audiovisual 
worlds.  Today  there  are  "educators"  responding  to  the  challenge  of 
startling  new  devices  for  the  communication  of  knowledge  and  ideas 
by  expounding  learnedly  that  machines  cannot  replace  teachers! 

All  we  can  say  is  that  we  hope  sincerely  that  everyone  in  this  field 
can  become  a  little  more  concerned  with  the  image  he  holds  of  him- 
self as  an  audiovisual  educator,  and  that  he  concern  himself  with  de- 
veloping the  kind  of  dynamic  image  that  will  serve  today's  needs 
and  the  challenge  of  the  future.

**. . .  quiet  order  helps  our  students  concentrate— 
our  Pageant  Projectors  help  maintain  this  quiet/ 


Says  O.  U.  Johansen, 

Principal  at  the  new 
Riverview  Senior  High 
School,  Sarasota,  Florida, 
selected  by  A.A.S.A.  for 
its  exhibit  of  outstanding 
school  designs: 


"It's  an  old  problem: 

"You're  showing  a  movie  in  one  class- 
room. The  sound  must  be  loud  enough  for 
that  class  to  hear,  but  not  so  loud  as  to  spill 
over  into  other  nearby  classes. 

"We  feel  that  our  Kodak  Pageant  Projec- 
tor has  contributed  measurably  toward  our 
maintaining  this  school's  atmosphere  of 
quiet  order,  so  essential  to  a  serious  stu- 
dent's concentration. 

"Our  Kodak  Pageant  Projector  operates 
so  quietly,  we  don't  have  to  turn  up  the 
volume  to  drown  out  machine  noises. 


"Since  the  Pageant  has  a  good  audio 
system,  the  entire  class  can  hear  the  sound 
clearly  without  effort,  even  though  volume 
levels  are  kept  low." 

//  you're  not  at  the  movie,  you  don't  have 
to  listen  to  it ...  an  important  point  to  keep 
in  mind.  Your  Kodak  A-V  dealer  will  dem- 
onstrate how  quietly  the  Kodak  Pageant 
Projector  operates,  and  how  efficiently  it 
meets  many  other  common  A-V  require- 
ments. Call  him  or  write  for  Pageant  Bul- 
letin V3-22-no  obligation  either  way,  of 
course.

The  Audiovisual  Wall 


by  Charles  A.  Huff 


o 


NE  of  the  likeliest  of  reasons  for  uon  partici- 
pation in  Audiovisual  teaching  is  the  unavaila- 
bihty  and  inaccessability  of  AV  equipment  and 
materials.  Often  a  teacher  will  forego  the  use  of  a 
tape  recorder,  motion  picture  projector  or  slide 
projector  rather  than  go  to  the  trouble  of  ob- 
taining them  from  a  locked  cabinet  on  another 
floor,  risking  a  schedule  conflict  with  other 
faculty  members,  or  tolerating  the  interrupting 
commotion  which  it  entails.  Add  to  these  the 
necessities  of  extensive  bother  in  obtaining  films 
and  tapes,  inadequate  fabricating  areas  and  ma- 
terials, and  the  irritation  of  malfunctioning  equip- 
ment due  to  the  neglect  of  previous  operators. 
It  is  no  small  wonder  that  some  teachers  think 
"it  just  isn't  worth  it." 

Many  of  these  problems  can  be  eliminated  with 
the  installation  of  a  common  multi-purpose 
audiovisual  wall  between  two  adjacent  class- 
rooms. In  this  wall  would  be  incorporated  all 
the  audiovisual  equipment  needed  for  the  two 
classrooms  and  it  would  be  available  at  a  mo- 
ment's notice.  The  wall  should  be  accessable 
from  both  sides,  and  equipment,  particularly 
projectors,  should  be  mounted  on  swivel  bases 
so  that  either  room  could  use  the  facilities.  This 
swivel  arrangement  could  be  further  improved  by 
the  use  of  sound  proofed  enclosures  to  reduce 
projection  noises  and  insure  the  absence  of  class- 
room disturbance  to  the  adjoining  rooms.  Slid- 
ing panels  are  the  safest  and  most  desirable 
means  of  opening  these  enclosures  as  they  will 
not  protrude  into  the  room. 

Others  would  have  their  own  ideas  as  to  what 
should  be  included  in  the  AV  wall,  according  to 
teaching  purposes  and  funds  available.  However 
the  wall  itself  would  probably  be  the  least 
expensive,  particularly  in  new  construction,  and 
could  be  planned  with  allowance  for  future 
equipment  as  funds  become  available.  It  is  possi- 
ble that  some  teachers  might  be  interested  in 
making  "professional"  investments  in  their  own 
AV  equipment,  especially  since  they  will  have 


exclusive  use  of  the  equipment.  Some  items  whicfl 
should  be  considered  in  any  case  are:  slide  and 
motion  projectors,  tape  recorder,  television  set, 
headsets,  a  materials  fabricating  and  repair 
table,  and  storage  drawers  and  shelves.  More 
bulky  equipment  such  as  opaque  and  overhead 
projectors  might  be  more  advantageously  stored 
elsewhere. 

The  audiovisual  wall  should  be  adequately 
wired,  with  its  own  circuit  and  a  circuit  breaker 
box  for  maximum  protection.  Each  swivel  based 
shelf  could  be  equipped  with  its  own  outlet  and 
wired  to  allow  freedom  of  movement.  A  master 
switch  on  each  side  of  the  wall  would  be  feasible 
as  it  might  be  desirable  to  keep  most  equip- 
ment constantly  set-up,  plugged  in  and  ready  to 
go.  Also,  it  may  prove  advantageous  and  eco- 
nomical to  wire  all  audio  equipment  to  a  single 
high  fidelity  speaker  at  the  front  of  each  room. 
A  multiple  use  amplifier  could  be  a  further  eco- 
nomical measure. 

Projectors.  Film  and  slide  projectors  should 
be  located  close  to  the  inside  corner  of  the  wall 
to  take  advantage  of  the  projection  angle  to  the 
opposite  corner  of  the  room.  The  supporting 
shelves  should  be  revolving  and  should  be  high 
enough  to  project  over  all  obstacles.  The  en- 
closure for  the  film  projector  should  be  large 
enough  to  allow  the  projector  to  revolve  with  the 
extension  arms  and  reels  connected.  This  would 
make  it  possible  to  thread  the  machine  without 
requiring  the  operator  to  lift  it  from  the  shelf, 
merely  swinging  it  parallel  to  the  wall. 
Tape  Recorder  A  tape  recorder  and  a  record 
player  could  also  be  included  in  the  wall.  How- 
ever, if  a  choice  must  be  made  a  tape  recorder 
would  be  more  versatile.  Locally  produced  tapes 
are  inexpensive  and  can  be  easily  adapted  to 
filmstrips  or  film  slides. 

Head-sets  One  might  want  part  of  the  wall 
devoted  to  a  pull-down  counter  shelf  behind 
which  could  be  found  ear  phone  head-sets  con-

lected  to  the  tape  recorder  or  record  player. 
This  feature  could  be  utilized  in  drill  work,  make 
ip  work,  or  any  class  where  individual  help  is 
lesirable.  The  tapes  could  be  teacher-made  and 
vould  release  the  teacher  for  other  duties. 
'television  The  television  set  would  be  a  wel- 
•onie  addition  to  the  AV  wall  and  is  now  be- 
oming  a  fairly  inexpensive  item.  Although  it 
night  be  more  desirable  to  have  a  separate  set 
II  each  classroom,  especially  if  the  school  is 
■quipped  for  a  closed  circuit,  one  set  here  could 
erve  two  rooms.  On-the-spot  coverage  reports 
ind  educational  programs  are  becoming  increas- 
ngly  available  during  school  hours. 
^laterial  Fabricating  and  Repair  Table  One 
ection  of  the  audio-visual  wall  should  have  drop 
ables  on  both  sides  with  two  way  storage 
Irawers  and  shelves  between.  These  areas  would 
)e  well   stocked   with   necessary   materials   and 


tools  for  fabricating  filmslides,  overhead  trans- 
parencies, bulletin  boards  or  any  other  teaching 
materials.  Also  provision  could  be  made  for  an 
installation  to  handle  minor  repairs  such  as  film 
and  tape  splicing  and  maintenance  of  equip- 
ment which  a  teacher  can  perform,  thus  avoid- 
ing delays  and  postponements. 
Storage  Easily  accessable  storage  shelves  and 
drawers  will  increase  the  use  of  audiovisual  ma- 
terials. Adequate  security  of  the  storage  facilities 
might  encourage  more  teachers  to  buy  and  make 
better  materials.  Of  course  all  school  owned  films 
and  tapes  could  not  be  "hidden"  in  classrooms 
but  privately  owned  materials  and  those  applica- 
ble exclusively  to  a  given  classroom  could  be  ef- 
fectively kept  in  that  classroom.  Special  shallow 
drawers  for  filmstrips  and  record  shelves  for 
film  cans  would  be  convenient  and  efficient  when 
categorizing  and  using  the  materials.

"Do-It-Yourself"      ^ 


Language  Lab 


by  Robert  Wiseman 


I 


N  the  past  few  years  language  laboratories 
have  been  one  of  the  leading  conversational 
topics  among  audiovisual  educators,  foreign 
language  teachers,  and  manufacturers.  From  the 
various  methods  that  have  been  developed  for 
the  teaching  of  a  foreign  language  have  come  a 
number  of  different  language  laboratories.  All 
of  these  language  laboratories  are  basically  one 
of  four  types,  the  individual  listening,  the  group 
listening,  the  group  and/or  individual  listen- 
response,  and  the  individual  listen  and  recorded 
response.  Although  there  may  be  various  other 
methods  these  methods  are  basic  to  all  language 
laboratories. 

All  have  some  value  in  the  teaching  of  foreign 
language  but  the  method  that  seems  to  offer  the 
greatest  number  of  advantages  and  the  greatest 
amount  of  versatility  is  the  individual  listen  and 
recorded  response.  This  method  gives  the  student 
an  opportunity  of  working  at  his  own  speed.  It 
also  permits  the  student  to  analyze  carefully  a 
spoken  word  or  phrase  and  then  to  record  it  on 
tape  for  self-comparison  with  original  pronuncia- 
tion and  intonation. 


With  this  system  the  teacher  may  evaluate 
each  student's  progress  and  offer  assistance  when 
it  is  needed.  It  is  also  possible  to  add  a  monitor- 
ing circuit  which  will  enable  the  teacher  to  listen 
to  individual  students  while  they  are  working  on 
an  assignment.  With  the  addition  of  still  another 
circuit,  it  is  possible  iOV  the  teacher  to  talk  direct- 
ly with  the  student  and  to  give  help  tlirough  in- 
dividual instruction  in  the  difficult  phases  of 
learning  a  foreign  language. 

It  seems  obvious  that  the  individual  listen  and 
recorded  response  language  laboratory  describ- 
ed above  offers  many  advantages  over  the  other 
systems  which  usually  consist  of  a  tape  player 
or  record  player  terminating  into  a  varying  num- 
ber of  earphones.  Through  these  earphones  the 
students  may  listen  only  to  the  master  recording 
or  listen  and  repeat  after  the  recording.  Their 
response  may  be  connected  to  the  set  of  ear- 
phones by  means  of  a  microphone  so  that  they 
may  hear  their  response  more  clearly. 

It  is  evident  that  a  group  listening  system,  such 
as  this,  has  many  disadvantages.  One  is  that  all 
students  who  are  listening  must  progress  with 
the  other  students  in  order  to  prevent  disruption 
of  the  group.  Since  all  students  do  not  advance 
or  learn  at  the  same  rate  of  speed,  the  slow  learn- 
ers mav  miss  a  certain  amount  of  vital  informa- 
tion. On  the  other  hand,  if  the  faster  learners  are 


586 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1960 


quired  to  slow  their  pace,  there  is  danger  of 
lem  becoming  disinterested.  Another  disadvant- 
ge  is  that  the  student  in  a  group  listening  situa- 
on  cannot  give  a  response  to  what  he  hears;  or  if 
e  is  permitted  to  respond,  he  has  no  method  of 
omparing  his  own  response  with  that  of  the 
jcorded  master. 

The  advantages  offered  by  the  individual 
sten-record  response  (IL-RR)  seem  to  out- 
'eigh  those  of  the  other  systems  because  the 
L-RR  system  properly  designed  and  set  up  can 
ffer  anything  that  the  other  systems  are  design- 
d  to  do  in  addition  to  providing  an  individual 
peed  and  self-evaluation  system. 

It  would  seem  that  the  IL-RR  system  is  ver- 
atile  enough  for  most  foreign  language  teachers; 
lerefore,  when  a  school  system  plans  the  in- 
tallation  of  a  language  laboratory,  it  should  con- 
ider  only  the  IL-RR  system.  This  would  be  the 
deal,  but  such  a  system  at  the  present  time  is  a 
ery  costly  installation,  so  costly,  indeed,  that 
lost  schools  do  not  permit  such  an  expenditure 
f  money.  It  is  not  uncommon  to  hear  quotes  for 
he  installation  of  a  20-student  laboratory  in 
xcess  of  $15,000.  This  amount  eliminates  all  but 
16  wealthier  schools.  With  this  figure  far  in 
xcess  of  their  allotted  budgets,  the  smaller 
chools  are  left  out  entirely.  The  purpose  of  this 
rticle  is  to  help  schools  develop  a  language 
aboratory  that  is  in  keeping  with  the  teaching 
rend  of  foreign  language  and  with  modest  bud- 
;ets. 

ivailability  of  Equipment 

In  attempting  to  determine  the  possibility  of 
etting  up  an  IL-RR  system  at  a  reasonable  cost 
md  on  an  "add-on"  basis,  it  was  necessary  to 
nvestigate  the  features  of  available  equipment. 
[Tie  first  necessary  piece  of  equipment  was  a 
mall,  lightweight  tape  recorder.  Such  a  tape 
ecorder   must   possess    certain   features    to   be 


adapted  to  such  a  system.  The  following  features 
were  necessary  for  such  an  adaptation:  single 
channel  record— two  channel  playback  (stereo) 
also,  changeable  to  four  track  stereo;  pre- 
amplifier output  on  both  channels;  simple  opera- 
tion; compact  design;  and  built  for  hard  usage. 

The  second  major  piece  of  equipment  that 
would  be  needed  to  work  in  conjunction  with  the 
tape  recorder  is  a  three  or  four  channel  phone- 
mic pre-amplifier /mixer.  The  pre-amplifier/mixer 
should  except  a  minimum  of  two  high  level  in- 
puts (phono)  and  two  low  level  inputs  (micro- 
phone). 

A  set  of  earphones  and  suitable  wiring,  phone 
jacks  and  plugs  completes  the  list  of  equipment 
needed  to  set  up  a  complete  IL-RR  laboratory. 
The  earphones  should  be  capable  of  reproducing 
the  full  frequency  range  of  the  human  voice. 

The  tape  recorder  that  was  found  to  match 
most  nearly  the  requirements  outlined  above 
permits  recording  on  only  one  channel  and  play 
back  on  two  simultaneous  channels.  It  will  also 
play  two  or  four  channel  stereo  by  a  simple  turn 
of  a  dial.  By  using  the  two-track  four-track 
change  dial,  it  is  possible  to  record  on  any  of  the 
four  channels.  (The  necessity  of  this  feature  will 
be  discussed  later. )  Although  this  is  the  recorder 
chosen  for  this  installation,  it  should  not  be  con- 
strued as  being  the  only  available  tape  recorder 
which  can  be  used.  Any  tape  recorder  that  has 
these  features  should  work  without  difficulty. 

The  pre-amplifier/mixer  selected  permits  the 
mixing  of  four  channels  at  one  time,  two  of  which 
can  be  phono  and  two  microphone,  or  if  desired 
four  microphone  inputs  may  be  used.  It  should  be 
noted  that  any  mixing  unit  having  these  features 
can  be  used;  however,  the  mixer  chosen  should 
be  of  the  pre-amplifier  type.  This  feature  is  neces- 
sary in  order  to  raise  the  output  of  the  earphones 
to  accommodate  the  hearing  requirements  of 
individual  students. 

The  earphone  can  be  one  of  the  lightweight

models  that  fit  under  the  chin  or  the  headband 
type  that  go  over  the  head.  It  is  important  that 
tliey  be  capable  of  reproducing  the  frequency 
range  of  the  human  voice  or  approximately  1(X)- 
10,000  ciys.  For  matching  purposes  with  the  MX6 
pre-amplifier/mixer,  the  earphones  should  have 
an  impedance  of  2,000  ohms.  This  impedance 
should  be  used  so  that  when  two  sets  of  ear- 
phones are  used  in  parallel  (student  and  teach- 
er) the  total  resistance  will  be  1,000  ohms  which 
is  the  output  impedance  of  the  MX6.  When  the 
teacher's  set  is  not  connected  to  the  individual 
system  a  2,0(X)  ohm  resistor  will  automatically 
be  connected  in  the  line  so  as  to  maintain  the 
correct  impedance  load  on  the  pre-amplifier  out- 
put. ( See  schematic  for  the  instructor  unit. ) 

The  wire  used  in  connecting  the  equipment 
should  be  a  shielded  single  conductor  wire;  and 
the  connectors,  because  of  their  ability  to  with- 
stand hard  usage,  should  be  the  standard  phone 
jack  and  plug. 

Connecting  The  Component  Parts 

The  equipment  and  hook-up  for  each  individ- 
ual booth  should  be  as  follows: 

1.  One  connecting  cord  from  the  pre-amp  out- 
put on  the  tape  recorder  to  phono  1  on  the 
pre-amplifier/mixer. 

2.  One  connecting  cord  from  the  stereo  pre- 
amp  output  on  the  tape  recorder  to  phono 
2  on  the  pre-amplifier/mixer. 

3.  Tape  recorder  microphone  into  tape  re- 
corder. 

4.  Earphones  into  the  output  of  the  pre-ampli- 
fier/mixer. 

5.  A  line  from  pre-amplifier/mixer  output  to 
the  teacher's  p>osition. 

6.  A  separate  shielded  line  from  the  teacher 
position  to  the  pre-amplifier/mixer  micro- 
phone input. 

7.  One  16  ohm  10-watt  load  resistor  into  the 
speaker  output  of  the  tape  recorder. 

The  connecting  cord  froiu  the  pre-amp  out- 
put on  the  tape  recorder  to  phono  1  on  the  pre- 
amplifier/mixer  should  consist  of  a  short  piece  of 
single  conductor  shielded  wire  with  a  standard 
phone  jack  on  each  end.  The  cord  connecting  the 
stereo  pre-amp  output  on  the  tape  recorder  to 
phono  2  on  the  pre-amplifier/mixer  should  con- 
sist of  a  cord  as  listed  above  with  the  exception 
that  the  plug  going  to  the  stereo  pre-amp  out- 
put on  the  tape  recorder  should  be  of  the  minia- 
ture type  which  can  be  readily  obtained.  The 
headset  should  be  plugged  into  the  distribution 
box  as  shown  in  the  diagram. 

The  line  from  the  pre-amplifier/mixer  dis- 
tribution box  to  the  instructor  unit  should  be  a 
single  conductor  shielded  wire.  It  should  ter- 
minate directly  into  a  phone  jack  or  into  a  switch, 
whichever  is  desired,  as  shown  in  the  instructor's 
unit  diagram.  The  instructor's  microphone  line 
to  the  pre-amplifier/mixer  should  be  a  single 
conductor  shielded  wire  separate  from  the 
rnonitor  line  going  to  the  instructor's  unit.  This 
line  may  start  in  the  instructor's  unit  from  a 
shorting  type  phone  jack  or  a  shorting  switch. 

The  16-ohm  10-watt  resistor,  across  the  speaker 
output  of  the  tape  recorder,  is  merely  a  resistor 
soldered  across  the  terminals  of  a  phone  plug. 
The  purpose  of  this  phone  plug  and  resistor  is  to 


inactivate  the  speaker  and  to  prevent  damaj 
to  the  tape  recorder  amplifier  which  might  r 
suit  from  no  load  on  the  output  stage. 

The  teacher's  unit  can  be  as  simple  as 
metal  box  with  a  phone  jack  for  each  studei 
position  into  which  the  teacher  can  plug  his  ( 
her  set  of  earphones,  or  a  single  earphone  outpi 
connected  to  each  student  position  line  by  meai 
of  a  switch.  The  switches  will  permit  the  teach( 
to  monitor  the  desired  student  position.  Tl 
microphone  can  be  connected  to  separate  studei 
positions  by  jacking  it  into  the  separate  mien 
phone  jacks  the  same  as  for  the  headsets  ( 
again  by  the  use  of  switches.  The  teacher's  un 
should  be  entirely  up  to  individual  needs  or  d<i 
sires.  A  sloping  panel  cabinet,  available  in  man 
shops,  will  serve  to  permit  the  installation  of  ; 
many  student  position  jacks  as  might  be  neede 
in  most  small  labs.  It  is  not  considered  nece 
sary  that  the  teacher  should  be  able  to  convert 
directly  with  all  students  at  the  same  time.  If 
should  become  necessary  for  the  teacher  to  tal 
with  all  students  at  once,  it  would  seem  thi 
the  teacher  should  talk  directly  to  the  student 
This  would  tend  to  establish  a  closer  communicj 
tion  contact  than  is  possible  through  the  use  ( 
"piped  sound."  This  direct  communication  woul 
probably  prove  more  effective  as  well  as  serv 
to  alleviate  the  monotony  of  listening  throng 
earphones. 

With  the  IL-RR  system  it  is  possible  for  th 
student  to  listen  to  a  pre-recorded  tape  (mastf 
tape )  and  give  a  response  which  will  be  recorde 
on  the  same  tape  that  is  being  played  through  th 
tape  recorder.  At  the  same  time,  the  teacher  ma 
listen  to  the  master  tape  and  the  student's  n 
sponse.  If  the  teacher  hears  a  serious  defect  i 
the  student's  response,  she  may  talk  directly  wit 
the  student  about  the  error  without  having  he 
voice  recorded  on  the  tape.  This  gives  the  studen 
a  chance  to  compare  his  unknown  error  with  th 
same  error  after  the  teacher  has  called  his  al 
tention  to  it. 

Recording  The  Master  Tape 

Many  foreign  language  tapes  are  available  fo 
the  purpose  of  recording  a  retainable  set  o 
master  tapes.  A  check  of  foreign  language  tap 
catalogs  will  soon  acquaint  one  with  man; 
sources  which  will  rent  pre-recorded  tapes  fo 
the  purpose  of  making  duplicates.  If  it  is  desired 
tapes  can  be  made  by  an  affluent  speaker  of  th 
foreign  language.  Once  the  master  tapes  ar 
made,  they  should  be  kept  in  a  safe  place  so  as  ti 
prevent  accidental  loss  or  erasure  and  used  onb 
for  the  purpose  of  recording  student  maste 
tapes. 

Recording  The  Student  Master  Tape 

In  order  to  permit  the  student  to  listen  to  thi 
tape  and  record  at  the  same  time,  it  is  necessan 
to  have  two  channels  on  the  tape  recorder.  Om 
for  recording  and  playback,  and  one  that  i; 
onlv  for  playback.  The  channel  that  can  be  play 
ed  back  only  will  be  referred  to  as  the  studen 
master  channel  or  tape. 

To  record  the  student  master  tape,  the  tap* 
recorder  should  be  set  to  record  on  "B"  channel 
After  the  recording  has  been  made,  the  channe 
selector  dial  should  be  set  to  "A"  channel;  ther

he  two  screws  holding  the  recording  head  cover 
n  position  should  be  removed  along  with  the 
;over.  It  is  now  possible  to  lift  off  the  channel 
;hanging  dial.  The  reassembly  of  the  head  cover 
low  makes  it  impossible  to  change  the  channel 
position.  Channel  "B"  which  will  now  be  played 
hrough  the  stereo  pre-amp  output  cannot  be 
erased,  but  the  student  may  record  on  "A"  chan- 
lel  as  many  times  as  she  wishes  without  harming 
he  "B"  or  student  master  channel. 

letting  Up  The  System 

In  setting  up  this  system  the  actual  connecting 
)f  component  parts  can  usually  be  performed  by 
tudents  who  are  interested  in  electronic  and 
ludiovisual  work. 

Although  this  system  can  be  set  up  with  as 
nany  imits  as  needed,  it  is  recommended  that 
hey  be  set  up  experimentally  first  and  more  add- 
'd  as  the  need  develops. 

Individual  booths  may  be  used,  if  desired, 
lithough  it  is  not  completely  necessary  provided 
hat  each  position  is  set  approximately  four  or 
i\e  feet  apart.  In  the  average  room  and  under 


average  conditions  interference  will  not  be  exces- 
sive. The  final  answer  to  the  question  of  booths 
will  have  to  be  decided  by  the  teacher  and  the 
noise  conditions  in  the  lab  room. 

Cost  of  Equipment 

The  cost  of  setting  up  each  student  position  in- 
cluding the  wiring  and  individual  position  share 
of  the  teacher's  unit  is  approximately  $225.  This 
figure  may  vary  depending  upon  school  prices. 

Facts  About  the  System 

It  is  possible  to  add  or  subtract  units  from  the 
system  whenever  necessary  without  disrupting 
the  entire  lab.  This  addition  or  subtraction  can 
be  performed  in  a  matter  of  minutes  by  a  simple 
plugging  or  unplugging  of  phone  jacks. 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  valuable  features  of 
this  system  is  that,  if  foreign  language  programs 
differ  from  the  present  trend,  this  system  can  be 
disbanded  with  relatively  no  monetary  loss.  The 
tape  recorders  are  returned  to  recording  purposes 
and  the  pre-amplifier/mixers  may  be  put  to  pub- 
lic address  use  in  the  school  system.

The  Diggleswitch 


by  James  DeVirgilio 


D. 


'OWN  through  the  ages  pedagogues  have 
been  known  for  a  "jargon"  common  to  their 
group.  True,  all  professional  groups  have  a  "jar- 
gon" peculiar  to  their  profession,  but  few  of  these 
groups  are  in  the  "fishbowl"  of  society  such  as 
we  in  education.  Because  of  this  we  come  under 
the  scrutiny  of  other  professional  people,  who 
through  using  a  language  of  their  own,  seeming- 
ly resent  the  terms  we  use.  Nevertheless,  for  lack 
of  a  better  term,  I  shall  attempt  to  discuss  the 
building  of  concepts  with  prospective  teachers. 

Concepts  are  the  important  elements  of  a 
lesson;  if  a  teacher  is  concept  conscious  he  is  not 
likely  to  fall  into  a  "fact  rut."  The  focal  points, 
those  of  real  value,  will  be  the  important  ones  of 
a  lesson  and  the  related  facts  will  follow. 

For  an  example  let's  consider  the  concept  of 
freedom  for  junior  high  class.  An  interesting 
situation  arose  when  this  was  used  in  one  of  my 
classes.  Immediately  most  of  the  students  thought 
in  terms  of  political  freedom.  Their  own  experi- 
ences were  coming  to  the  fore  as  being  of  pri- 
mary concern  in  developing  an  understanding  of 
this  concept.  Consequently,  they  thought  of  us- 
ing the  Cuban  revolution  and  the  present  dif- 
ferences between  Communism  and  Democracy. 

These  considerations  are  noble  and  of  some 
value,  but  they  reveal  a  basic  weakness  on  the 
part  of  these  prospective  teachers  to  see  the  need 
of  developing  the  concept  of  freedom  based 
on  the  immediate  and  past  experiences  of  the 
youngsters  they  were  teaching  and  not  on  their 
own.  Had  they  considered  the  children's  experi- 
ences in  a  typical  8th  grade  class,  freedom  as  a 
concept  would  have  had  more  meaning.  This 
would  be  a  good  starting  point,  and  could  easily 
be  expanded  to  include  freedom  of  the  press, 
speech,  action,  political  parties  and  idealogies 
which  are  the  peripheral  facts.  Therefore  in  de- 
veloping a  concept  it  is  imperative  that  we  call 
on  the  experiences  of  the  youngsters  and  relate 
these  to  daily  living,  before  we  expand  into  more 
abstract  consideration. 

There  is  still  the  problem  of  concept  com- 
munication. If  we  use  verbal  symbols  alone,  un- 
less our  students  are  thoroughly  familiar  with  the 
concept  before  it  is  presented,  we  will  develop 
verbalizers  who  have  little  understanding  of  the 
impact  the  concept  has  as  it  relates  to  a  total 
situation.  So  we  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
the  more  abstract  and  distant  from  the  learner 
the  concept,  the  greater  the  need  for  aids  to  clari- 
fy it.  I  would  go  so  far  as  to  say  the  antithesis  is 
true  also;  the  more  familiar  a  concept,  the  more 
difficult  it  becomes  to  develop  clear  insights  as 
to  its  totality.  There  are  preconceived  notions 
interfering  with  understanding.  These  have  to  be 
brought  to  the  surface  by  the  teacher  and  clari- 
fied. 


What  are  aids  to  communication?  One  only 
has  to  look  at  Edgar  Dale's  "Cone  of  Experi- 
ence"* to  get  a  full  view  of  them.  These  include 
such  things  as  filmstrips,  slides,  dramatizations, 
models,  television,  bulletin  boards  and  exhibits. 
There  are  many  more. 

The  point  for  the  present  is  to  show  how  verbal 
symbols  are  just  that:  symbols.  Consequently, 
what  may  be  clear  in  the  mind  of  the  one  speak- 
ing may  be  meaningless  to  the  listener.  This  was 
illustrated  rather  emphatically  by  a  student,  Sam 
Brannock,  who  appeared  disinterested  but  who 
in  reality  had  figured  a  way  to  show  that  con- 
cepts verbally  presented  can  be  beyond  recogni- 
tion. No  one  would  deny  that  he  relied  on  un- 
usual extremes  to  prove  his  point. 

In  developing  his  "Diggleswitch,"  Mr.  Bran- 
nock states  that  he  wanted  to  take  something 
very  familiar  to  the  students,  dress  it  up  in  verbal 
apparel  unrecognizable  and  meaningless  to  them 
and  then  show,  by  the  use  of  simple  aids,  how 
learning  would  ensue.  Before  you  read  the  fol- 
lowing, be  sure  not  to  look  for  the  answer  and 
see  if  you  can  understand  what  it  is. 

The  Diggleswitch 

The  diggleswitch  is  a  manually  op- 
erated, alloy  enclosed  instrument  for 
the  purpose  of  initiating  the  fulfillment 
of  certain  specific  libido  passions. 

There  are  several  different  types  of 
diggleswitches,  but  I  will  explain  only 
one. 

This  particular  one  depends  upon 
the  action  of  a  louvered  edge  disc, 
hereafter  known  as  a  toggle,  upon  a 
resistant,  concoidaUy  fracturing  cylin- 
der, the  finch,  releasing  a  particle  of 
extreme  molecular  activity,  the  fear- 
dunk,  which  is  directed  in  a  parabolic 
cui-ve  to  a  device  for  the  regulation  of 
hydro-carbon  oxidation.  This  device, 
the  zebben,  is  connected  to  the  con- 
stant pressure  cellulose  absorption 
tank  where  it  obtains  its  primary  re- 
actant. 

When  the  toggle  is  manually  acti- 
vated, the  integration  of  the  afore- 
mentioned parts  serves  to  produce  the 
necessary  function  of  the  diggleswitch 
on  the  zebben,  which,  when  applied 
to  the  libido  satisfying  device,  achieves 
the  ultimate  response.

Teaching  The 
United  States 
Constitution 
By  Tape 


by  Channon  H.  Krupsky 


Students   checking   the   visual   presentation   which    grew 
out  of  their  tape  recording  of  the  President's  Message. 


jS/L  Y  class  of  7th  grade  boys  and  girls  was  faced 
with  the  necessity  of  learning  the  terminology 
and  the  greatness  of  our  Constitution,  the 
weighty  decisions  it  embodies.  I  realized  that,  to 
make  this  unit  interesting,  the  creation  of  a 
stimulating  situation  would  challenge  my  ingen- 
uity and  ability  as  a  teacher. 

The  opportunity  for  employing  the  medium  of 
tape  recording  in  teaching  this  unit  on  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  United  States  occurred  when  the 
newspapers  carried  the  announcement  of  a  forth- 
coming message  by  the  President  on  the  State 
of  the  Union. 

Since  a  tape  recorder  was  available  in  our 
school,  we  were  able  to  set  it  up  and  record  the 
complete  State  of  the  Union  message  as  given  by 
President  Eisenhower  on  January  6,  1960. 

I  obtained  a  copy  of  the  message  as  it  was 
printed  in  the  newspaper  and  marked  with  red 
pencil  those  phrases  which  would  be  significant- 
ly connected  with  the  Constitution.  Then,  replay- 
ing the  tape,  I  noted  the  footage  numbers  shown 
by  the  recorder  corresponding  to  the  phrases  I 
had  marked  on  the  newspaper  account.  Next  I 
checked  these  particular  passages  with  the  Con- 
stitution and  jotted  down  the  exact  article  and 
section  it  referred  to.  I  also  checked  references 
to  history  and  specific  offices  and  people  and 
used  several  references  to  locate  protocol  and 
traditional  procedures  and  seating  for  this  oc- 
casion in  the  function  of  our  government. 

Our  class  was  further  prepared  by  charts  and 
pictures  which,  displayed  on  a  bulletin  board, 
graphically  described  the  organization  of  our 
government. 

Our  unit  began  with  a  brief  discussion  about 
the  State  of  the  Union  message  as  part  of  our 
"current  events"  period.  Not  many  students  were 
alerted  to  this  event  nor  were  they  particularly 
interested.  I  then  asked  the  boys  and  girls  if  they 
would  like  to  hear  this  message.  The  response 
was  good;  perhaps  listening  meant  not  having 
to  "do"  something. 

I  did  not  intend  that  the  class  should  listen  to 
a  lengthy  address  which  was  above  their  under- 
standing or  endurance.  For  a  short  period  we 
listened,  particularly  to  the  introduction  by  the 
narrator  which  gave  us  a  complete  word  picture 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1960

of  the  setting  for  this  occasion,  and  to  segments 
of  the  message  itself.  This  was  followed  by  more 
discussion.  Questions  arose: 

Why  did  the  president  give  this  message? 

Did  all  presidents  give  such  a  message? 

What  was  a  joint  meeting? 

What  was  meant  by  "Speaker  of  the  House"? 

How  did  the  vice  president  become  president 
of  the  Senate? 

To  answer  these  questions,  we  would  listen 
to  segments  of  the  tape  for  discussion  and  inter- 
pretation, then  we  referred  to  the  particidar 
articles  and  sections  of  the  Constitution. 

As  the  climax  to  this  unit,  the  students  wrote 
their  own  interpretation  of  the  significant  terms 
in  the  preamble.  The  student  whose  interpreta- 
tion was  considered  the  best  was  given  a  chance 
to  record  it,  with  the  whole  class,  in  a  speech 
choir  background,  reading  the  preamble.   This 


reading  of  the  preamble  was  recorded  on  tlu 
same  tape  following  the  President's  message. 

We  loaned  the  tape  and  other  materials  t( 
several  other  7th  grade  classes.  A  copy  of  tlu 
tape  was  made  and  is  now  in  the  library  of  tht 
Audio-Visual  Department  of  the  Kansas  Cit) 
School  District. 

This  imit  on  the  Constitution  emphasized  the 
importance  of  modem  audiovisual  materials  ir 
making  the  learning  interesting,  stimulating  anc 
challenging.  As  a  result  of  this  unit  we  are  using 
the  tape  recorder  in  other  units  this  fall.  W{ 
recorded  some  of  the  convention  highlights  and 
later  will  record  the  highlights  of  the  presidential 
election  itself.  We  will  use  these  tapes  to  stimul- 
ate interest  in  units  on  American  history,  th( 
development  of  the  American  political  system, 
the  executive  branch  of  the  government  and  re- 
lated areas.

Description 

The  Friendly  Beasts  is  the  story  of  a 
little  wild  goat  from  the  mountains  of 
Judea  that  wanders  to  the  inn  yard  at 
Bethlehem  on  the  first  Christmas  Eve. 
The  other  animals  that  came  to  the 
inn  yard  to  give  of  themselves  for  the 
Baby  Jesus  are  the  "Friendly  Beasts" 
referred  to  in  the  traditional  Christmas 
carol  sung  at  the  beginning  and  end- 
ing of  the  film.  The  conversations  of 
the  animals  are  also  taken  from  the 
Christmas  carol. 

Judea  was  truly  the  'land  of  ani- 
mals," for  there  were  many  that  roam- 
ed in  its  mountains.  There  were 
wolves,  jackals,  wild  dogs  and  deer. 
Many  birds  also  lived  about  but  these 
were  not  "Friendly  Beasts." 

Those  considered  to  be  "Friendly 
Beasts"  were  the  dove,  bird  of  peace; 
donkeys,  used  to  carry  heavy  packs; 
oxen,  the  beast  of  burden;  camels, 
used  in  making  long  journeys;  but 
most  valuable  of  all  the  animals  was 


the  goat.  The  goat  was  valuable  for 
its  meat  and  mUk,  while  its  hair  could 
be  woven  into  cloth.  A  goat  also  made 
an  excellent  pet  and  often  slept  with 
a  family's  children.  Its  nimbleness  of 
foot  enabled  it  to  climb  high  and 
rocky  places  in  search  of  the  few 
blades  of  grass  that  grow  in  this  land. 

There  were  many  different  trees 
and  plants  that  grew  in  the  land  of 
Judea.  Among  these  were  olive  and 
fig  trees,  date  palms,  grapevines  and 
cactus.  These  grew  wild  and  were  as 
wild  as  the  little  goat  in  this  story. 

As  the  story  begins,  this  mischievous 
little  goat,  wandering  about  high  in 
the  mountains  of  Judea,  came  upon  a 
flock  of  sheep.  She  ran  toward  them, 
startling  them  with  a  cry,  and  they 
fled,  leaving  two  little  lamljs.  But  the 
little  wild  goat,  showing  a  gentle 
heart,  started  them  after  the  flock  so 
they  would  not  become  lost. 

The  little  goat  then  searched  among 
the  rocks  for  food,  her  nimble  feet 
picking  the  way  carefully.  She  had 
come  near  to  Bethlehem  when,  being 
thirsty,  she  began  a  search  of  water, 
for  without  water  she  could  not  live. 

Frightened  by  a  huge  bird,  she  ran 
onto  the  sands  of  the  desert— where 
she  almost  stepped  on  a  snake.  Fran- 
tically  the  goat  ran   until,   finding  a

little  spring,  she  drank  her  fill  an 
then  found  shelter  in  a  cave  for  tl 
night. 

Suddenly,  a  strange  mood  pervade 
the  night.  A  bright  new  star  appeare 
in  the  heavens,  a  great  light  appeare 
over  distant  hill,  and  music  from  afi 
came  to  the  cave.  This  was  the  nigl 
of  the  first  Christmas. 

Beckoned  by  these  m\steries  th 
little  goat  ran  to  the  wall  surroundin 
Bethlehem,  found  a  gate  and  entere 
the  inn  yard  where  she  was  greeted  b 
a  "Hello!"  from  a  donkey. 

"Can  you  talk?"  asked  the  goat. 
"All  of  us  can  talk  tonight,"  answei 
ed  the  donkey.  "Each  of  us  gave  a  gil 
to  the  Baby  Jesus.  I  carried  his  mothc 
to  Bethlehem.  What  do  you  have  t 
give?" 

"I  don't  know,"  answered  the  goat 
"What  can  I  give?" 

"Why  don't  you  ask  the  dove?"  saii 
the  donkey. 

The  little  goat  progressed  from  on 
animal  to  the  next  discussing  thei 
gifts  to  the  Christ  Child.  The  dove  ha( 
sung  a  lullaby  to  help  the  Savior  ti 
sleep.  The  ram  had  given  his  wool  t 
keep  the  Baby  warm  and  the  came 
suggested  the  animals  could  give  pro 
tection  to  the  Christ  Child  and  hi 
family. 

The  cow  offered  the  little  goat  somi 
of  her  hay.  As  they  ate,  the  cow  sai( 
she  had  given  her  manger  for  a  crib 
The  cow  also  said  that  when  the  Hoi; 
Family  left  they  would  have  onl\-  thi 
donkey  to  take  with  them. 

When  the  little  goat  had  finishec 
eating  and  lay  down  to  rest,  she  begai 
to  wonder  how  would  the  Holy  Fami 
ly  get  milk  for  the  Baby  Jesus.  Thi: 
could  be  her  gift  to  the  Christ  Child 
She  would  give  herself  and  becom( 
the  family  goat.  She  carefully  groom- 
ed herself  and  the  next  day  as  th{ 
Holy  Family  left  Bethlehem  the  littk 
goat  was  a  part  of  their  procession.  Ir 
this  way  the  little  wild  goat  from  th« 
mountains  of  Judea  became  one  of  thei 
"Friendly  Beasts." 

Appraisal 

This  film  is  a  new  and  refreshing 
approach  to  an  age-old  story,  with 
animated  scenes  of  the  First  Christmas 
at  both  the  beginning  and  the  end. 
Then  the  film  progresses  into  the 
realistic    animal     scenes     which     are 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November.  I960* 


beautifully  photographed  as  well  as 
being  informative  in  nature. 

The  general  format  of  this  film  is  so 
presented  that  it  could  be  used  with 
pre-school,  primary,  or  lower  inter- 
mediate age  children.  One  of  the  film 
preview  committee  members  suggested 
that  a  second  version  of  the  film  might 
omit  the  animated  scenes,  thus  making 
it  less  seasonal  in  its  appeal.  The  film 
could  be  used  by  schools,  churches 
and  general  groups  for  programs  or  for 
study.  The  musical  framework  of  the 
film  might  also  interest  music  educa- 
tion groups.

Description 

Weather  Scienti^s  highlights  the 
need  for  weather  information  through 
surveying  common  weather  phenom- 
ena, pointing  out  the  influence  at- 
mospheric elements  have  on  persons' 
economic  and  recreational  lives,  and 
reviewing  the  functions  and  opera- 
tions of  the  United  States  Weather 
Bureau.  Instruments  used  for  making, 
reporting  and  recording  observations 
are  explained  in  terms  of  the  specific 
functions  each  perform. 

The  relationship  between  human 
activity  and  weather  is  illustrated  in 
the  use  of  a  montage  of  clouds  with 
various  weather  conditions  and  the 
effects  these  types  of  weather  have 
upon  the  fun  of  swimming,  the  incon- 
venience of  shoveling  snow,  the  selec- 
tion of  an  aircraft's  flight  plans,  and 
navigation  for  all  types  of  water  com- 
merce. Weather  is  defined  as  the  con- 
dition of  the  atmosphere  at  the  point 
of  observation.  The  needs  of  individ- 
uals to  know  in  advance  what  weather 
conditions  will  be  is  established  as  a 
principal  reason  for  the  varied  opera- 
tions of  the  United  States  Weather 
Bureau. 

Using  a  map,  the  operations  of  the 
Weather  Bureau  are  traced  from  its 
central  office  in  Washington,  D.  C,  to 
the  regional  offices  which  coordinate 
many  different  observations  which  are 
reported  back  to  the  central  office. 
Observations  are  indicated  as  coming 
from  local  U.  S.  weather  stations,  fire 
tower  observers,  airline  pilots,  ocean 
vessels,  and  scientists  engaged  in 
meteorological  research  in  this  country 
and  throughout  the  world,  including 
both  polar  zones.

rain  and  snow  gauge  for  amounts  of 
precipitation.  Radio  sondes  and  their 
balloons  are  used  to  gather  atmos- 
pheric data  at  altitudes  up  to  20  miles. 
The  sunshine  recorder,  ceilometer  (for 
determining  the  height  of  the  cloud 
ceiling)  and  radar  all  assist  in  making 
observations.  Overprints  of  new  tech- 
nical terms  appear  while  discussed. 

Weather  facts  are  plotted  on  large 
official  maps  that  are  redone  for  use 
on  television.  Computers  are  used  to 
sort,  combine  and  analyze.  Maps  are 
transmitted  by  other  electronic  devices. 

In  concluding,  the  role  of  volunteer 
weather  reporters,  a  job  open  to  in- 
terested boys  and  girls,  is  described. 
Forecasting  is  shown  to  need  many  ob- 
servations since  tomorrow's  weather 
exists  today  or  will  be  caused  by  con- 
ditions today  in  regions  near  or  afar. 

Appraisal 

Intermediate  and  junior  high  pupils 
will  find  Weather  Scientists  an  effec- 
tive survey  of  the  activities  of  weath- 
er stations.    Several   members  of  the 


evaluation  committee  felt  that  this  film 
was  more  effective  tlian  field  trips  they 
had  taken  with  children  to  a  Weather 
Bureau  office,  but  it  could  also  .serve 
as  a  preparatory  or  follow-up  activity. 

Content  is  centered  upon  instru- 
ments, their  function  and  the  correla- 
tion of  the  varied  observations.  For  an 
explanation  of  what  cau.scs  weather 
phenomena,  other  films,  filmstrips,  or 
supplementary  readings  would  be  re- 
quired. Throughout,  the  pace  of  con- 
tent development  is  slow  enough  that 
children  should  have  no  difficulty 
grasping  the  presentation. 

High  technical  quality  is  evidenced 
throughout  but  especially  in  the  selec- 
tion of  views  of  cloud  formations,  well 
employed  close-ups,  and  the  personal 
touch  developed  in  the  sync-sound 
sequence  in  which  the  weatherman  ex- 
plains his  instruments.  The  small-sized 
letters  used  in  the  overprint  titles  of 
meteorlogical  terms  create  a  slight 
visual  problem  and  constitute  the  only 
weak  point  in  an  otherwise  excellent 
film.

Did  You  Guess  The  Diggles witch 

{Author  De  Virgilio  continues.) 


I'm  sure  the  readers  feel  as  the  stu- 
dents did.  They  had  no  knowledge  of 
this  object,  so  familiar  to  them  in  real 
life  yet  in  this  case  so  totally  obscure. 
Several  more  readings  proved  to  be  of 
no  value.  Words  were  words.  Some- 
thing else  was  needed. 

We  then  used  a  few  simple  lines 
outlining  the  form  as  in  the  diagram, 
putting  each  line  on  the  board  as  it 
was  verbally  explained.  Immediately 
the  group  reaction  showed  that  they 
understood.  You  could  see  the  surprise 
on  their  faces  for  not  recognizing 
.something  they  felt  they  should  have 
known.  Aren't  many  of  our  classes 
the  same?  The  thrill  of  understanding 
bubbles  over  and  the  spontaneity  of  it 
is  stimulating.  So  it  is  that,  in  the  class- 
room, aids  of  all  sorts  are  the  equiv- 
alent of  adjectives  and  adverbs  in  a 
sentence.  Yes,  the  diggleswitch  is  a 
cigarette  lighter.

What  does  all  of  this  prove?  It 
proves  that  in  teaching  we  are  merely 
calling  on  the  learners  to  recite  if  we: 

(1)  fail  to  clarify  the  concept  for 
ourselves  before  we  started. 

(2)  ignore  the  total  field  of  the 
concept. 

(3)  overlook  the  background  of  our 
students  in  relation  to  the  concept 
as  our  starting  point. 

(4)  reply  too  heavily  on  lecture  or 
verbal  symbols  as  our  medium  of 
communication. 

(5)  ignore  the  need  for  aids  to 
communication. 

(6)  fail  to  see  the  relationship  of 
facts  to  concept. 

Common  though  knowledge  of  this 
may  be,  we  still  see  a  lack  of  applica- 
tion of  these  good  principles  in  the 
classroom.  Whv?

One  Faith 

Out  across  the  world.  Christians  are 
becoming  increasingly  aware  that  they 
art'  one  fellowship  and  share  one 
faith.  This  faith  may  take  many 
forms,  include  many  institutions,  and 
embrace  many  peoples,  and  be  amid 
many  diverse  cultures.  Yet,  basically, 
it  remains  one  faith.  But,  how  can  that 
be  spelled  out;  shown,  and  made 
clear? 

It's  not  easy  to  do,  but  the  28- 
minute  color  film  Household  of  Faith 
docs  it  pretty  well.  The  film  begins 
v\ith  12  people,  from  as  many  coun- 
tries, sitting  at  a  circular  table  on 
which  is  a  huge  globe  of  the  world.  It 
ends  with  many  kinds  of  Christians 
gathered  at  the  table  of  the  Lord  for 
Communion.  In  between  we  witness 
cooperation  within  the  household  of 
faith.  First,  in  the  Christian  Medical 
College  at  Ludhiana,  India;  next,  at 
Madras  where  the  College  of  the 
Church  of  South  India  is  staffed  by 
leaders  from  many  denominations. 
Again  we  see  this  spirit  at  work  in 
the  Theological  College  of  Bangalore. 
Lastly,  we  see  the  Indian  Christian 
Church  sending  fraternal  workers  to 
Africa  and  Thailand  where  they  will 
join  Christians  from  Korea,  Germany, 
the  Philippines  and  America. 

Twelve  denominations  sponsored 
this  film  which  was  produced  by  BFC 
of  the  NCC.  Since  it  is  one  of  the  offi- 
cial films  on  the  study  theme  "Into 
All  The  World  Together,"  it  will  have 
wide  availability  through  local  film 
rental  libraries.  First,  inquire  of  the.se; 
then  write  to  BFC,  47.5  Riverside  Dr., 
N.  Y.  27.  This  is  a  B-plus  production 
job,  with  an  "A"  rating  on  general 
utility  for  young  people  and  up  in 
church  and  community. 

Procession,  Indeed! 

Early  in  my  ministry  a  layman  re- 
marked that  something  was  "as  diffi- 
cult as  leading  a  parade  in  worship." 
Churching  the  moving  and  mobile 
population  of  America  is  just  about 
that  hard.  This  is  brought  out  clearly 
in  the  film  The  Procession,  distributed 
through  the  BFC  of  the  National 
Council  of  Churches,  475  Riverside 
Dr.,  N.  Y.  27.  This  is  a  motion  picture 
on  the  study  theme  "Heritage  and 
Horizons." 


Photographed  in  Chicago,  this  im- 
usual  motion  picture  utilizes  the  inter- 
view technique  to  explain  the  mission 
of  the  church— to  people  in  the  heart 
of  a  business  district,  to  young  families 
in  a  suburban  community,  to  those 
who  live  in  a  rapidly  changing  area 
of  the  city,  and  to  those  in  a  badly 
depressed  community.  Here  is  the  face 
of  the  city.  The  church  must  be  here, 
but  how?  This  film  predicts  new- 
philosophies  for  churches  both  urban 
and  suburban.  With  America  on  the 
move,  what  moves  should  the  church 
make?  A  highly  mobile  camera  and  a 
good  commentary  give  some  of  the 
answers  in  28  minutes,  and  for  a  rental 
of  $8.00  your  church  or  its  groups 
mav  see  and  hear  these  answers. 


Filmstrip  Evaluations 

Stones  About  Church  is  a  4-unit 
series  of  color-art  filmstrips  by  Family 
Filmstrips  for  use  with  4  and  5  year 
olds.  These  titles  —  "We  Go  To 
Church,"  "Happy  Times  At  Church," 
"Making  Friends  At  Church,"  and 
"Gifts  For  Our  Church"— are  closely 
related  to  kindergarten  lessons. 

I  liked  the  art.  It  is  simple.  I  hked 
the  commentary.  It  says  enough;  does 
not  over-talk  the  i^ictures.  I  liked  the 
accent  on  church.  Notice  the  titles; 
not  'church  school'.  The  larger  con- 
text is  what  we  need.  I  like  the  ob- 
jectives given  on  the  filmstrips.  The 
concepts  are  strongly  presented.  The 
teacher  can't  miss  them.  The  basic 
stand  out.  No  homogenizing  of  big 
ideas  into  baby-food  here,  as:  "Now 
children,  give  your  pennies  to  Jesus." 
Bobbie  Trent  (writer),  Dorothy  Grider 
(illustrator)  and  Vic  Perrin  (narrator) 
make  a  fine  production  team.  The 
utilization  time  is  ju.st  right;  4  minutes. 
The  leader's  guide  is  helpful  and 
should  be  taken  seriouslv.  This  is  an 
"A"  job!

format.  Both  are  useful.  The  first  can 
be  used  witli  juniors  and  up  where 
it  is  to  be  the  'program'.  The  origin 
of  four  sacred  carols  is  given,  followed 
by  the  words  of  several  stanzas.  Organ 
and  mixed  chorus  provided  the  musical 
background.  Groups  will  find  it  easy 
to  sing  along  with  the  music.  The  four 
carols  are:  O  Little  Town  Of  Bethle- 
hem, Silent  Night,  We  Three  Kings 
of  Orient  Are,  and  Joy  to  the  World. 
There  are  41  frames.

ing;  God  Rest  You  Merry,  Gentlemen; 
O  Christmas  Tree,  Up  On  The  House- 
top. The  stories  are  short.  The  music 
is  festive.  The  art  nicely  composed 
and  the  color  good.  Here  is  a  film- 
strip  for  the  party  in  either  church,

Notes  and  Comments  on  Films 

We  can  learn  something  about  a 
film,  of  great  importance  in  estimating 
its  quality  and  utility,  by  noting  what 
the  producer  says  about  it.  The  pro- 
ducer of  How  Vast  Is  Space?  (Adantis 
Productions,  7967  Sunset  Blvd.,  Holly- 
wood 46)  says  "This  film  deals  with 
basic  information  in  a  manner  which 
will  not  become  obsolete,"  and  we 
are  inclined  to  agree  with  him. 

Designed  for  junior  high  school  sci- 
ence classes,  this  film  follows  the  line 
of  science  in  dealing  with  the  ge- 
ography and  stiucture  of  space  among 
the  stars  and  within  the  atom.  In  the 
church  we  might  use  this  film  to  ask, 
What  of  God  in  a  universe  like  this? 
How  shall  man  regard  himself  in 
such  a  cosmos  within  such  a  universe? 
Is  the  creator  of  the  galaxies  aware 
of  man,  this  very  small  speck  on  a 
quite  small  world,  in  a  solar  system 


which  could  blink  out  and  not  even  be 
missed  in  the  vast  imiverse? 

While  the  taproot  for  religious  faith 
must  grow  in  other  than  scientific  top- 
soil  for  most  of  us,  it  is  good  for  the 
faithful  to  take  a  look  now  and  then 
at  how  vast  .space  really  is.  This  18- 
minute  color  film,  with  good  cinematic 
qualities,  can  be  useful  in  this  role. 

While  not  often  yielding  to  the 
temptation  to  comment  on  theatrical 
(35mm  films)  we  will  do  so  in  the 
instance  of  Masters  of  the  Congo  J«n- 
gle.  A  great  fUm.  The  finest  nature 
photography  I  have  seen.  Superb 
camera  work;  extraordinary  on-loca- 
tion  sound;  color  that's  rich  and  true, 
and  a  continuity  which  sets  the  native 
African  delightfully  within  his  general 
abode,  nature.  Produced  by  scientific 
societies,  it  is  good  cinema. 

Here  is  proof  beyond  doubt  that  if 
a  film  is  interesting  it  will  also  be 
entertaining.  Don't  miss  this  one,  and 
when  a  16mm  version  comes  along, 
as  we  hope  it  does  soon,  churches, 
clubs,  schools  of  all  kinds  will  give 
this  superb  film  a  large  and  apprecia- 
tive audience. 

New  Experiences  For  Mentally  Re- 
tarded Children  (b&w,  36  minutes, 
from  the  Virginia  State  Board  of  Edu- 
cation, Richmond)  is  a  training  film 
for  the  teachers  of  such  children,  and 
also  normal  children.  Here  before  our 
eyes  is  the  patience,  the  tact,  the  skill 
and  above  all  else  the  love  which  all 
good  teachers  have  in  more  or  less 
degree.  This  love  is  evidenced  by  the 
total  acceptance  of  these  children  by 
their  teachers.  Given  a  religious  utili- 
zation context,  this  film  can  give 
teachers  a  peek  into  the  depths  of  love- 
in-action,  or  teaching. 

Indian  Summer,  a  b&w  film  of  some 
30-40  minutes,  tells  of  a  valley  that  is 
to  be  flooded  by  a  power  project, 
picking  up  the  story  of  one  old  man 
who  says  he  will  not  move— but  does. 
As  the  camera  follows  him  around— 
in  the  manner  of  good  documentaries 
—his  plight  and  pathos  touch  us  deep- 
ly and  we  reflect  on  the  human  price 
of  our  marching  technological  prog- 
ress. Produced  by  Folkfilm  Produc- 
tions. 

Here  is  a  trinity  of  useful  films 
(Southern  Baptist):  The  Great  Chal- 
lenge, 30  minutes,  on  the  work  of  the 
church  school  teacher;  Preparing  to 
Teach,  17  minutes,  filmic  description 
of  what  real  preparation  involves;  and. 
Teaching  The  Word,  17  minutes,  ac- 
centing the  central  importance  of  the 
Bible  in  Christian  education  (as  the 
Southern  Baptists  see  it).  The  first 
two  have  little  or  no  denominational 
reference,  and  the  second  tide  is  high- 
ly recommended  for  use  with  teacher 
groups.

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  1960 


Facts  and  fancies  about  beverage 
alcohol  are  dealt  with  interestingly 
and  effectively  in  the  14-minute  color 
film  Theobald  Faces  the  Facts— and 
flunks!  But  you  might,  too.  So  might 
your  youth  group.  Why  not  give  them 
the  various  tests  (of  the  film)  to  see 
how  well  they  can  do.  Bv  the  National 
WCTU,   Evanston,   111.  ' 

Some  years  ago  an  American  official 
of  a  'foreign'  mission  board  (that  was 
the  term  then  used)  said  he  found 
himself  way  down  the  line  going 
through  the  customs  line  in  an  Indian 
city  and  no  longer  first  as  Americans 
and  British  were  wont  to  be,  and 
knew  right  then  that  a  new  day  had 
dawned  in  missions.  That  was  the  day 
of  the  'fraternal  worker'. 

This  new  day,  and  what  it  means, 
is  set  forth  in  an  interesting  film. 
Passport  to  Dehra  Dun.  When  an 
Indian  churchman  explains  to  a  gov- 
ernment official  what  a  fraternal 
worker  is  and  does,  the  entry  of  an 
American  is  granted.  This  explanation 
constitutes  the  meat  of  the  film  for 
us  and  we  see  a  village  worker  at  his 
tasks,  visit  a  great  medical  school,  and 
have  pictured  for  us  the  meaning  of 
'dirty-hand  education'.  Good  and  use- 
ful film;  28  minutes;  color;  produced 
by  the  United  Presbyterian  Church's 
commission  on  Ecumenical  Relations, 
475  Riverside  Dr.,  New  York  27, 
N.  Y. 

Mission  In  Bolivia  (25  minutes; 
color;  Board  Missions,  the  Methodist 
Church,  475  Riverside,  N.  Y.  27)  is 
an  interesting,  informative  and  moving 
documentation  of  what  the  Gospel 
means  to  agriculture  and  education 
in  this  Andean  country.  Did  you  know 
that  the  50-year-old  Francis  Harring- 
ton School  in  La  Paz  has  1,400  stu- 
dents, that  the  government  has  given 
special  honor  and  recognition  to  the 
church-sponsored  Cochabamba,  and 
that  this  country  is  larger  than  Texas 
and  California  combined?  Neither  did 
I! 

Most  mission  films  to  date  have  cen- 
tered on  a  description  of  the  mission- 
ary process,  and  Beyond  the  Night  is 
such  a  film.  A  professional  thief  en- 
ters a  church  on  New  Year's  eve  and  is 
never  quite  the  same  after  that.  This 
stow  change  of  his  is  the  stuff  we  see 
in  the  film,  and  it  is  put  together  in- 
terestingly. By  United  Presbyterian 
Church's  Ecumenical  Mission,  475 
Riverside  Dr.,  N.  Y.  27;  28  minutes. 

We  have  spoken  of  the  fine  utility 
of  the  Methodist  "Talk-Back  Series," 
15-minute  b&w  TV  films  which  rent 
for  S4.00  and  are  excellent  discussion 
starters.  The  Victims  sets  before  us 
the  problem  of  police  methods,  and 
Officer  Travers  and  his  methods  will 
be  defended  by  some  and  condemned 
by   others.    If   vou   don't   believe   this, 


just  show  it  to  a  group  of  men,  women, 
or  young  people  and  watch  what  hap- 
pens when  the  lights  go  on!  There  are 
26  titles  in  the  series.  Send  to 
TRAFCO,  Nashville  3,  for  descriptive 
material. 

Latin  America  is  the  subject  for 
study  in  1961-62,  and  the  film  Little 
Man  Stand  Tall  will  help  us  under- 
stand the  missionary  process  in  Para- 
guay. As  with  the  other  titles  above, 
this  film  shows  the  Protestant  faith 
winning  its  way  by  its  appeal  to  the 
minds  and  hearts  of  people  and  not  by 
any  kind  of  coercion.  It  helps  all  kinds 
of  church-neglected  people  stand  tall! 
Produced  by  the  United  Christian 
Missionary  Society,  Indianapolis,  Ind., 
it  does  a  good  job  of  spelling  out 
visually    what    'missions'    means. 

Church  parties  would  improve,  in 
most  situations,  if  both  young  people 
and  their  adult  advisors  could  see 
and  take  to  heart  the  excellent  advice 
given  in  the  10-minute  animated  color 
film  Let's  Have  a  Party.  Good  parties 
don't  happen;  they  are  planned;  they 
run  on  tracks  of  principle,  and  the  film 
shows  what  the.se  tracks  are.  By  Broad- 
man  Films,  Nashville,  Tenn. 

This  and  That  .  .  . 

•  The  "God's  Wonders"  series  of  12 
10-minute  films  produced  by  Church 
Craft  of  St.  Louis  have  now  been 
acquired  by  Concordia  Films,  3558  S. 
Jefferson  St.,  St.  Louis  18,  Mo.  Pro- 
duced for  children,  and  designed  to 
show  God's  handiwork  in  nature,  these 
useful  films  should  now  find  a  broader 
usefulness  in  the  church  at  large. 

•  The  SVE  Religious  Catalogue  is 
available  now.  It  lists  many  new  film- 
strips  and  over  600  2x2  color  slides  for 
instructional  or  devotional  use.  Also, 
it  lists  over  100  Great  Art  Prints  which 
are  suitable  for  framing  or  study. 

•  Sticking  filmstrips!  I  had  trouble; 
my  students  had  trouble;  a  lot  of  other 
folks  had  trouble  with  filmstrips  stick- 
ing in  the  projector  this  damp  and 
humid  summer.  What  to  do?  Cathe- 
dral Films,  Inc.,  says  that  complaints 
came  only  from  himiid  areas,  where 
the  strips  absorbed  moisture.  When 
the  heat  of  the  lamp  hits  them  they 
sweat  and  stick.  A  phone  conversa- 
tion with  Ben  Peirez  of  Viewlex,  Inc., 
brought  out  the  same  facts;  and  more 
importantly,  that  his  company  is  ex- 
pecting to  announce,  by  the  time  you 
read  this,  a  new  filmstrip  gate  that 
won't  stick  however  wet  the  strip. 

•  Several  times  this  summer  we  were 
told  by  church  leaders  that  their  table- 
type  filmstrip  Previewer  had  been  a 
good  investment.  They  found  what  I 
did.  Tciichers  will  use  it  when  they 
will  avoid  the  bother  of  using  a  pro- 
jector for  preview  and  study.  It  will 
stimulate  use,  and  improve  it,  too.

AUDIO 


by  Max  U.  Bildersee 


One  of  the  nice  things— and  there 
are  many— about  this  audio  business 
is  that  things  are  happening  all  the 
time.  Sometimes  you  know  well  in 
advance  who  is  going  to  publish  what 
and  when.  And  then  comes  the  time 
that  you  know  absolutely  nothing  of 
a  tremendous  project  and  you  stum- 
ble on  it  much  to  your  pleasure  and 
delight. 

We  had  the  latter  experience  earlier 
this  year  in  Chicago  when  we  met 
Mack  Reed.  We  had  just  entered  the 
exhibit  area  at  the  NAVA  convention, 
and  the  first  booth  we  stopped  at 
carried  the  new  and  high  sounding 
title  Academic  Recording  Institute. 
We  stopped  to  ask  questions,  we  re- 
mained to  listen  and  ask  more  ques- 
tions, and  thus  learned  for  the  first 
time  of  the  most  ambitious  and  po- 
tentially far-reaching  recording  project 
of  the  decade. 

Where  many  major  record  distribu- 
tors in  the  educational  field  began 
with  one  or  two  records  and  grew 
slowly,  varying  titles  and  talent  to  de- 
velop exciting  libraries,  the  Academic 
Recording  Institute  has  done  just  the 
opposite. 

First  they  developed  an  idea  which, 
succinctly,  is  'investigation  in  depth' 
and  then  decided  on  using  the  phono- 
graph record  as  the  medium  by  which 
the  ideas  of  outstanding  current  fig- 
ures could  be  presented  to  the  greatest 
audience.   The   thesis   is:    scholarship 


and  artistry  for  group  and  individual 
listening. 

Then,  after  the  idea,  came  the  plan- 
ning. The  administrators  went  to  the 
drawing  board,  so  to  speak.  They 
created  a  blueprint  for  this  unusual 
project  which  involved  such  outstand- 
ing people  as  George  Jean  Nathan,  C. 
Northcote  Parkinson,  Samuel  Eliot 
Morison,  Ashley  Montagu  and  Charles 
Frankel.  The  areas  these  men  repre- 
sent are  Taste  and  Genius  in  the  Arts, 
Politics:  The  Folklore  of  Government. 
Morison  hy  Land  and  Sea,  The  Nature 
of  Human  Nature  and  The  Philosophi- 
cal Perspective. 

Having  drawn  the  rough  plans,  pre- 
pared the  blueprints  and  secured  the 
best  materials,  it  is  not  surprising  that 
Academic  Recording  Institute  has  gone 
on  to  build  an  exceptional  library  of 
records  which  should  find  broad  ac- 
ceptance in  secondary  schools,  colleges 
and  universities  and  libraries  through- 
out the  English  .speaking  world. 

John  Mason  Brown,  eminent  critic 
and  author  who  has  also  had  a  lively 
career  on  the  lecture  platform,  deals 
with  Taste  and  Genius  in  the  Arts  un- 
der the  headings  "The  World  of  the 
Theatre,"  "What  is  Greatness?"  "The 
Artist  and  His  Times,"  "Laughter," 
"Development  of  Style,"  "The  Revela- 
tion of  Character,"  "Biography  and 
Autobiography,"  "What  is  a  Classic?" 
"What  Determines  Taste?"  and  "Men 
and  Ideas."  Good  listening,  all  of  them. 


John  Mason  Brown,  righl,  is  interviewed  by  Serrell   Hillman  in  the  series  put 
out  by  Academic  Recording  Institute. 


in  the  variety  of  areas  which  Mr. 
Brown  is  so  well  equipped  to  discuss. 

The  technique  employed  is  that  of 
the  informal  interview,  with  the  sec- 
ond person  not  only  asking  questions 
but  also  offering  ideas  for  the  featured 
speaker  to  accept  or  refute  and  citing 
examples,  all  of  which  contributes  to  a 
fast  moving  presentation.  Serrell  Hill- 
man,  a  journalist  who  has  served  the 
news  services,  been  a  correspondent 
and  is  a  bureau  chief  for  Time  Maza- 
zine,  gracefully  and  skillfully  guides 
the  disciLssions  with  John  Mason 
Brown  but  does  not  intrude  to  the 
discomfort  of  the  listener. 

High  school  teachers,  college  i  n- 
structors  and  librarians  will  be  in- 
terested not  only  in  hearing  these 
recordings  but  in  offering  their  stu- 
dents a  chance  to  hear  them  as  well. 
Small,  selected  portions  can  be  pre- 
sented in  class  to  stimulate  discussion. 
Smaller  groups  can  comfortably  listen 
to  longer  portions,  and  individuals  lis- 
tening alone  can  pace  the  audio  ex- 
perience and  hear  the  entire  recording 
at  one  time. 

Selective  Timing 

We  draw  these  differences  because, 
generally,  the  adult  optimum  listening 
time  is  not  over  15  minutes— more 
nearly  10  to  12.  At  the  end  of  this 
short  period  there  must  be  diversion 
if  comprehension  is  to  be  at  a  high 
level.  With  modern  communications 
equipment  in  which  each  student 
hears  via  headphones  rather  than  a 
loudspeaker  —  and  consequently  is 
moved  into  closer  physical  approxi- 
mation with  the  original  sound  source, 
these  time  suggestions  are  subject  to 
extension. 

True  not  only  of  these  particular 
records,  but  of  all  of  the  records  in 
the  series,  is  their  potential  use  in 
home  entertainment.  Ideas  can  bt 
fascinating,  and  listening  in  a  social 
environment  will  give  added  meaninfz 
to  these  recordings  to  a  great  nian\ 
people.  In  the  living  room  or  den  they 
take  on  a  personal  meaning  which  nia\ 
be  lacking  in  the  stricter  institutional 
environment  of  the  school  or  library 

Libraries  have  herein  an  exception- 
al opportunity  to  exploit  these  'name 
lecturers  for  the  benefit  of  theii 
patrons.  It  is  entirely  possible  t( 
schedule  a  year-long  lecture  series  foi 
a  variety  of  interested  people  usinj 
these  records  in  the  appropriate  ordei 
of  presentation  on  a  weekly  basis 
What  a  tremendous  opportunity  ti 
bring  these  experts  to  the  attention  o 
the  community  in  a  series  of  eveninj 
auditions  followed  by  open  discussion 
And,  too,  there  is  always  the  oppor 
tunity  to  present  these  for  teenager 
in  a  similar  series  of  special  program

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — November,  196( 


through  the  hbrary  or  through  the 
school  or  as  a  cooperative  program. 

Ill  addition  to  the  accepted  class- 
room and  instructional  uses,  school- 
men can  schedule  listening  periods 
during  free  periods  for  interested  stu- 
dents. These  can  be  schetluled  during 
the  free  luncheon  period  and  be  used 
both  for  relaxation  and  intellectual 
stimulation.  During  the  40- week  school 
year  students  can  be  introduced  to  the 
ihistorical  acumen  of  Morison,  the 
critical  know-how  of  Brown,  the  some- 
times 'tongue-in-cheek'  but  always 
challenging  attitude  of  Parkinson  and 
the  scholarly  approach  of  Ashley 
Montagu  or  Charles  Frankel.  It  is  only 
through  such  devices  that  today's 
young  people  are  going  to  be  intro- 
duced to  such  men  and  seasoned  by 
their  experience. 

This  proposal  can  be  enlarged  upon 
easily.  There  are  sufficient  recordings 
of  a  challenging  artistic  and  intel- 
lectual nature  to  schedule  a  variety 
program  throughout  the  school  year. 
There  are  enough  intellectually  gift- 
ed and  interested  students  to  justify 
the  program.  And  there  are  public 
relations  media  within  the  school  to 
make  these  programs  broadly  attrac- 
tive. The  year-long  listening  program 
can  be  planned  by  students  with  or 
without  adult  supervision.  The  whole 
area  of  the  History  of  Music  can  be 
included  in  the  program.  There  can 
be  plays,  readings  of  poetry.  There  can 
be  musical  programs  featuring  style, 
instrument,  artist,  orchestra  or  com- 
poser. The  variety  is  endless,  and  to- 
day's teenagers  faced  with  the  chal- 
lenge of  contemplating,  planning  and 
executing  such  a  program  will  rise  to 
the  challenge. 

We  find  more  and  more  evidence 
that  despite  the  highly  publicized 
'headline  stuff  which  involves  a  few 
young  people  there  is  a  definite  pre- 
ponderance   toward    decency    among 


young  people.  The  decade  ahead  will 
see  a  marked  trend  in  this  direction 
and  it  behooves  our  educational  in- 
stitutions at  all  levels  to  grasp  leader- 
ship in  this  and  to  offer  the  finest  in- 
formation available  and  to  create  an 
attitude  by  precept  which  will  impress 
upon  all— young  and  old  alike— that 
decency  is  normal  and  that  contem- 
plative individuals  are  the  backbone 
of  the  national  and  local  community. 
How  many  of  your  students  under- 
stand Parkinson's  Law?  How  well  do 
you  know  its  origins  and  applications, 
even  in  the  school  of  today?  Is  the 
speaker  serious,  or  is  he  teasing  the 
listener  with  his  presentation.  Only 
through  actually  hearing  it  can  school- 
men know  and  be  able  to  advise  their 
students. 

Two  Parkinsons 

It  is  interesting  that,  within  the 
month,  two  different  recordings  of 
Parkinson's  Law  have  been  called  to 
our  attention.  Both  are  very  fine  re- 
cordings and  either  or  both  merit  the 
attention  of  teachers.  In  the  Aca- 
demic Recording  Institute  series  on 
Politics:  The  Folklore  of  Government 
this  is  the  introductory  title.  Others 
included  in  the  series  are  "The  Politi- 
cal Climate  of  the  Far  East,"  "The 
Theory  of  Political  Cycles,"  "Mon- 
archy," "Oligarchy,"  "Democracy," 
"Dictatorship,"  "The  Russian  Com- 
munist Theocracy,"  "The  Phenomenon 
of  War"  and  "The  Bureaucratic  Ma- 
lignancy." 

The  scholar,  author  and  lecturer, 
Cyril  Northcote  Parkinson,  is  inter- 
viewed by  a  colleague  and  outstanding 
teacher,  Julian  H.  Franklin,  whose 
activities  are  chiefly  in  the  field  of 
comparative  government  and  politi- 
cal theory.  Dr.  Franklin  does  not  in- 
trude on  Professor  Parkinson's  ex- 
pounding of  ideas   but  rather  deftly

brings  to  the  surface  and  into  focus  for 
the  hstener  the  attitudes  and  informa- 
tion which  Professor  Parkinson  offers. 
In  addition  to  the  ARI  recording 
on  Parkinson's  Law  there  is  one  of  that 
title  offered  by  Libraphone  in  their 
Athaneum  series.  This  is  the  first  re- 
cording at  33.3  rpm  offered  by  Libra- 
phone  which,  to  this  time,  has  offer- 
ed only  readings  of  whole  books  after 
the  manner  of  the  Library  for  the 
Blind  and  intended  fundamentally  for 
the  use  of  handicapped  people.  The 
Parkinson  Recording  (Professor  C. 
Northcote  Parkinson  Explains  Parkin- 
son's Law  —  Libraphone  Athenaeum 
Number  AS-3301  —  Libraphone,  Box 
215,  Long  Branch,  N.  J.)  is,  we  hope, 
the  forerunner  of  a  series  of  such  re- 
cordings which  have  broad  appeal  and 
potentially  wide  use  in  the  variety  of 
educational  and  service  institutions 
gradually  adding  to  their  audio  li- 
braries. Whereas  Professor  Parkinson 
is  interviewed  in  the  ARI  recording,  he 
speaks  in  lecture  fashion  on  the  Libra- 
phone disc,  and  consequently  is  the 
only  voice  heard. 

If  we  have  not  already  commimi- 
cated  to  you  our  utter  enthusiasm  for 
the  Academic  Recording  Institute  re- 
cordings, let  us  say  so  now  and  quite 
openly.  The  critic  is  in  the  happy  posi- 
tion of  being  able  to  share  his  en- 
thusiasms with  many— and  still  not  lose 
one  whit  of  ardor  for  the  object  of 
his  appraisal.  We  urge  you— all  of 
you— to  take  pen  in  hand  and  secure 
immediately  a  copy  of  the  catalog 
which  has  been  produced  by  these 
fine  people.  Write  to  Mr.  Mack  Reed 
at  3060  Locke  Lane,  Houston  19, 
Texas,  and  ask  for  the  Academic  Re- 
cording Institute  catalog.  Study  it  and 
select  the  series  which  you  want  to 
add  to  your  collection— and  add  them. 
You'll  not  be  sorry. 


Samuel  Eliut  Morison  is  another  in  the 
stable  of  eminent  speakers  at  ARI. 


We  asked  Mr.  Reed  about  the  popu- 
larity of  the  various  series  and  he  told 
us  the  Philosophy  records  seem  to  be 
leading  in  requests,  but  that  doctors 
generally  prefer  Montagu.  It  seems, 
he  told  us,  that  Parkinson  is  the  choice 
of  the  business  man  and  that  school- 
men on  the  secondary  level  lean 
toward  the  Morison  and  Brown  re- 
cordings. On  the  college  level,  the 
demand  seems  to  be  about  equal  for 
all  five  groups. 

A  final  word  about  Mack  Reed's 
point  of  view.  He  says,  "I'm  preju- 
diced, but  I  know  these  recordings  be- 
long in  every  library— with  or  without 
record  players— because  the  discus- 
sions stimulate  reading,  and  they  make 
people  think."  I  claim  to  be  without 
bias  in  this  matter,  and  I  entirely  sup- 
port his  point  of  view.  In  fact  these 
recordings  can  be  profitably  added, 
without  exception,  to  the  libraries  of 
secondary  schools,  colleges  and  com- 
munities. 

So:  run,  do  not  walk,  to  the  nearest 
postbox.

A  lecture  is  only  as  good  as  it  sounds-and  how  it  sounds  depends  first  and  fore- 
most on  the  microphone.  In  designing  the  superb  new  Unidyne  III  microphone,

IT  FOCUSES  ON  THE  VOICE.  Unidirectional  pick-up  pattern  (from  the  front  only) 
suppresses  random  background  noise.  Students  hear  yon.  not  shuffling  papers,  not 
footsteps,  not  street  noises.  Completely  controls  annoying  feedback  "squeaK' 

UNPRECEDENTED  VERSATILITY.  Unobtrusive  size,  light  weight,  instant  change  from 
stand  to  hand,  faithful  response,  extraordinarily  rugged  design,  simplicity  and  utter 
reliability  combine  to  make  the  Shure  Unidyne  III  the  most  practical  institutional 
microphone  ever  created.

FILMSTRIPS 


by  Irene  F.  Cypher 


An  ounce  of  imagination,  a  dash  of 
creativity,  a  sprinkle  of  fresh  view- 
point—oh, what  they  mean  to  the  pro- 
ckiction  of  any  picture!  And  what  they 
can  do  to  raise  the  level  of  interest- 
holding  potential   for  a   filmstrip! 

It  is  true  that  the  general  range  of 
subject  content  to  be  taught  remains 


fairly  well  fixed  year  after  year;  cer- 
tain basic  information  must  be  con- 
veyed to  all  pupils  as  they  proceed 
through  their  educational  careers.  This 
does  not  mean,  however,  that  the  same 
words  must  always  be  repeated  when 
conveying  this  information;  neither 
does  it  mean  that  the  same  type  of 


Hugged 

construction 

plus 

ease  of 

handling  \ 

equals . . . 


Everyone  working  with  audio-visual  equipment 
knows  that  your  best  buy  Is  the  best  you  can 
buy!  In  the  case  of  projection  screens,  that's 
Da-Llte  ...  a  full  line  of  wall-type  and  tripod 
models  with  exclusive  features  developed  over

pictorial  presentation  must  be  use( 
whenever  the  subject  matter  is  visual 
ized. 

One  of  the  favorite  phrases  use( 
by  everyone  when  attempting  to  givi 
advice  is,  "Get  a  fresh  viewpoint  anc 
you  will  see  things  more  clearly. 
These  sage  words  should  be  nailed  \\\ 
on  the  walls  of  every  filmstrip  pro 
ducer's  studio.  There  is  no  valic 
reason  why  there  cannot  be  some  tract 
of  uniqueness,  freshness,  vividness 
in  the  treatment  given  to  subject  mat 
ter.  Today's  pupils  approach  all  les 
sons  with  a  considerable  degree  of  ex- 
posure to  radio,  television,  photog 
raphy.  The  material  presented  to  them 
in  the  classrooms  should  equal,  if  no( 
surpass  these  media  in  vividness  and 
interest  appeal.  Let's  be  willing  tc 
get  a  fresh  viewpoint  once  in  a  while, 
and  present  age-old  facts  in  terms  of 
modem  format. 


Christmas  Celebrated  in  Song  (2  film- 
strips,  1  record,  2  guides,  color;  pro- 
duced by  Society  for  Visual  Education, 
1345  Diversey  Parkway,  Chicago  14, 
111.;  $13.50  per  set).  Here  is  the  ac- 
count of  how  many  of  the  songs  as- 
sociated with  the  Christmas  season 
came  to  be  written.  Christmas  in 
Sacred  Music  relates  the  stories  be- 
hind favorite  hymns;  Christmas  in 
Folk  Music  does  the  same  thing  for 
favorite  carols. 

The  filmstrips  present  both  the  pic- 
ture story  of  the  song  and  the  words; 
the  records  give  an  excellent  musical 
background  for  the  material.  Wherever 
and  whenever  consideration  is  given 
to  music  of  .special  seasons,  these  film- 
strips  will  lend  interest  because  they 
both  present  information  and  allow  the 
viewer  to  participate  in  learning,  for 
they  encourage  the  viewer  to  join  in 
singing  the  songs.  They  will  be  of  in- 
terest to  any  age  group,  and  are  to 
be  recommended  for  school  groups, 
choral  groups  and  adidt  or  community 
programs.

gncd  to  show  what  type  of  men 
ioneered  in  opening  up  the  new 
orjtl  to  settlement  and  what  human 
)nclitions  they  encountered  in  carry- 
ig  out  their  tasks.  Good,  and  can  be 
•commended  for  enjoyable  and 
orthwhile  viewing  in  middle  and

Learninfi  To  Look  (6  strips,  color,  and 
record;  produced  by  Filmscope,  Inc., 
Box  .397,  Sierra  Madre,  California; 
$36.50  per  set,  $5.50  single  strip, 
$5.00  single  record ) .  There  is  so  much 
to  see  in  the  world  around  us,  if  only 
we  know  how  to  look  and  what  to  look 
for.  In  this  series  the  camera  helps 
us  to  focus  our  eyes  on  Trees,  Lumber, 
Plants,  Desert  Flowers,  Desert  Tex- 
tmes,  and  Desert  Soil,  Sand  and  Stone. 
.As  our  eyes  look,  our  ears  help  to  un- 
fold the  story  of  what  we  see  in  de- 
sign, what  forms  are  to  be  noticed  in 
natural  objects,  and  what  beauty  is 
to  be  observed  in  the  world  around  us. 
This  is  a  refreshingly  well  planned  ap- 
proach to  the  problem  of  stimulating 
pupils  to  "see  what  they  are  looking 
at"  and  to  train  them  for  the  task  of 
observing  and  noting  details. 

The  material  is  certainly  well  or- 
ganized for  art,  nature  study  and  lan- 
guage arts  at  both  the  elementary  and 
secondary  levels.  We  need  more  of  this 
type  of  filmstrip-record  combination 
for  it  provides  a  viewing-listening  ex- 
perience which  cannot  always  be  se- 
cured first-hand,  but  which  should  be 
made  available  to  all  pupils.  The  title 
of  the  series  is  well  chosen,  for  both 
picture  and  record  do  indeed  help  in 
the  process  of  assisting  pupils  in  "learn- 
ing to  Look."

There  is  something 
under  the  sun! 


A  new  screen  for 
vie^^ing  pictures  in 
undarkened  rooms 

It  is  true  that  you  can  project  better 
pictures  in  darkened  rooms — but 
there  are  many  times  when  room 
darkening  is  inconvenient,  difficult 
and  costly.  Now,  with  the  new- 
Radiant  exclusive  "truly  lenticu- 
lar" screen,  which  controls  both 
horizontal  and  vertical  light  reflec- 
tion, you  can  project  slides  and 
movies  effectively  in  normally  or 
partially  lighted  rooms  where  no 
unusual  lighting  conditions  prevail. 
For  schools — this  enables  viewers 
to  take  notes  during  showings,  min- 
imizes inattention  and  misbehavior, 
and  permits  simultaneous  use  of 
collateral  material. 

Send  for  Illustrated  Booklet 

which  gives  the  complete  ex- 
olanation  of  this  neu)  truly 
lenticular  screen,  also  catalog 
giving  specijications  and  prices 
of  Radiant's  complete  line  of 
lenticular  and  glass-beaded

One  classroom... one  console... five  different  activities! 


EDWARDS  LANGUAGE  LABORATORY 


In  this  typical  classroom  situation,  one  30-position,  2-channel 
Edwards  Language  Laboratory  serves  five  simultaneous  activ- 
ities (4-channel  models  available  when  required).  13  beginners 
work  on  a  master  lesson  using  Lesson  Channel  1.  Nine  inter- 
mediate students  work  on  a  second  lesson  using  Channel  2. 
Three  more  advanced  students  work  with  tapes  saved  from 
an  advanced  class,  recording  their  responses  while  erasing  old 
practice  material  recorded  by  previous  students.  Three  absen- 
tees make  up  work  on  tapes  saved  from  a  previous  lesson. 
Two  students  use  a  free  period  for  some  independent  lab 
work.  The  language  laboratory  is 
utilized  to  the  fullest  extent.  Any 
number  of  separate  lesson  activ- 
ities or  subjects  may  be  handled. 
The  instructor  has  complete  con- 
trol over  all  30  booths  and  can 
monitor  or  communicate  with 
any  student  at  any  time.  The  in- 
structor can  utilize  the  Edwards 


Language  Laboratory's  extreme  flexibility  to  include  visual 
presentations,  channeling  sound  for  films,  slides,  TV,  etc. 
through  the  lesson  channel's  auxiliary  input.  He  can  use  the 
function  selector's  recite  position  to  channel  the  recitation  of 
one  student  (or  a  conversation  between  himself  and  one  stu- 
dent) to  the  rest  of  the  group.  The  Instructor  may  pick  up  any 
student  tape  he  desires  to  check,  or  to  hold  as  a  master  tape 
for  later  use.  There  are  many  language  laboratories,  but  only 
Edwards  offers  such  versatility  and  ease.  Write  today  for 
detailed  literature  on  this  more  effective  teaching  tool  for 

creative  language  instruction.

ALA  Exhibit  At  1962  Fair 
Will  Include  AV  Equipment 

Receipt  of  a  $30,991  grant  to  the 
American  Library  Association  from 
the  Council  on  Library  Resources, 
Inc.,  Washington,  D.  C,  for  use  in 
planning  a  "Library  of  the  Future" 
exhibit  at  the  forthcoming  Century  21 
Exposition  in  Seattle  has  been  an- 
nounced by  David  H.  Clift,  executive 
director  of  the  ALA. 

The  Century  21  Exposition,  first 
international  exposition  to  be  held  in 
the  United  States  since  1939,  will  be 
held  from  April  21  to  October  21, 
1962.  The  new  grant,  which  is  in 
addition  to  a  $2,000  grant  this  past 
May  from  the  Council  on  Library  Re- 
sources for  a  feasibility  study,  will  be 
used  to  develop  plans  for  participa- 
tion by  the  ALA  in  the  Exposition. 

The  ALA  exhibit,  as  envisaged,  will 
display  in  a  library  environment  ran- 
dom access  data  processing  machines, 
film  storage  and  retrieval  machines, 
audiovisual  devices,  teaching  ma- 
chines, film  viewers  and  printers, 
communication  devices  including  *dis- 
tant  television  transmission,  and  ma- 
chine translators.  The  exhibit  will  in- 
dicate what  the  technical  proficiency 
of  the  machines  can  contribute. 

Education  Groups  Plan  Two 
European  Tours  in  1961 

Two  trips  abroad  will  be  made 
during  the  summer  of  1961  under 
auspices  of  the  Comparative  Educa- 
tion Society  and  Phi  Delta  Kappa's 
Commission  on  International  Educa- 
tion. One,  June  18-July  22,  covers 
Denmark,  Sweden,  Finland,  the  So- 
viet Union,  Poland  and  Czechoslo- 
vakia. The  second,  Aug.  13-Sept.  16, 
includes  Denmark,  Holland,  Germany 
and  Belgium.  In  charge  of  arrange- 
ments is  Gerald  H.  Read,  Kent  State 
University,  Kent,  Ohio. 

FCC  Permits  ETV  To  Use 
Microwave  Facilities 

The  Federal  Commimications  Com- 
mission, in  an  important  decision,  has 
responded  to  NAEB's  petition  to  grant 
an  exception  in  behalf  of  educational 
broadcasters  regarding  the  use  of 
microv\'ave  facilities  for  inter-city  TV 
relays.  The  significance  of  this  deci- 
sion is  that  now  education  can  estab- 
lish its  own  microwave  facilities  to 
link  educational  TV  systems  in  wide- 
ly separated  communities,  rather  than 
resorting  to  common  carriers.  The  rul- 


ing, which  excepted  non-commercial 
educational  users  only,  should  have 
profound  influence  in  development  of 
state  and  regional  ETV  networks  and 
closed  circuit  systems. 

Keynoters  Mark  AV  Trends 
At  Texas  AV  Meeting 

Dr.  Chester  Babcock,  executive  di- 
rector, division  of  instruction  and  cur- 
riculum, Seattle  Public  Schools,  de- 
livered the  keynote  address  when  the 
Texas  Audio-Visual  Education  Asso- 
ciation held  its  ninth  annual  meeting 
October  30  through  November  1  at 
the  Windsor  Hotel  in  Abilene. 

Participating  in  a  panel  discussion 
on  the  keynote  address  were  a  curricu- 
lum director,  audiovisual  specialists 
on  public  school  and  college  levels,  a 
school  librarian,  a  superintendent  and 
an  educational  psychologist. 

Moderated  by  Dr.  Harold  E.  Wig- 
ren,  director  of  audiovisual  education 
of  the  Houston  Independent  School 
District,  these  were  Miss  Susan

Subject  of  the  keynote  address,  as 
well  as  other  aspects  of  the  program, 
were  in  line  with  the  conference 
theme:  "TEXAVED  Looks  Ahead: 
The  Imi^act  of  New  Technological 
Developments  on  Curriculum  and 
Teaching  and  the  Uses  of  Insbuc- 
tional  Resources." 

Utah  State  Univ.  Will 
Produce  Taped  Lessons 

A  television  studio  at  Utah  State 
University  is  being  equipped  to  turn 
out  tape  recorded  courses  for  broad- 
cast to  the  student  bod\'  and  the  home 
viewer. 

A  major  benefit  of  the  on-campus 
tape  recording  operation,  according  to 
university  president  Daryl  Chase,  will 
be  elimination  of  the  twice-a-week 
treks  taken  since  19.54  by  Utah  State 
faculty  meml>ers  80  miles  over  the 
mountains  from  the  University  at 
Logan  to  the  nearest  television  trans- 
mitters in  Salt  Lake  City. 

"Frequently  truck-loads  of  special 
equipment,  laboratory  animals  and  ex- 
perimental devices  have  accompanied 
the  instructors  and  prcxluction  group 
on  the  160-milc  round  trip,  even  in 
rugged  weather,"  Chase  said.  "With 
our  new  studio  equipment  we  will  be 
able  to  produce  material  here  and  mail 
the  finished  tapes  to  both  commercial 
and  education  television  stations  in 
Salt  Lake." 

The  studio  is  being  equipped  by 
RCA.

"We  saw  how  practical  a  teacher  can  be  about  A-V  aids 
before  we  selected  this  Kodak  Pageant  Projector." 


Says  John  M.  Chilcoat, 

Principal  at  the  new  Nor- 
wood Elementary  School, 
Baltimore  County,  Md., 
selected  by  A.A.  S.A.  for 
its  exhibit  of  outstanding 
school  designs: 


"From  our  teachers'  point  of  view,  class- 
room order  and  pupil  attention  are  basic 
requisites  before  any  learning  can  take 
place. 

"A-V  aids,  they  feel,  must  contribute  to 
the  entire  learning  experience— should  not 
disrupt  order,  nor  distract  attention.  When 
attention  is  held,  the  learning  process  is 
quickened,  the  subject  more  thoroughly 
understood. 

"Our  teachers  expressed  themselves  on 
these  matters  when  we  were  examining 
projectors.  Then  they  selected  the  Kodak 
Pageant  Projector  as  their  practical  choice. 


Easy  to  set  up,  the  Pageant  meant  pro- 
grams started  promptly.  Quiet,  the  Pageant 
didn't  distract  students  by  machine  noise." 

Because  reel  arms,  belts  and  cords  are 
all  permanently  attached  in  place,  the 
Pageant  sets  up  easily.  Operation  is  so 
simple  that  many  teachers  leave  it  entirely 
to  the  children. 

To  see  a  demonstration  of  the  Kodak 
Pageant's  brilliant  screen  image,  its  high 
quality  sound,  and  its  other  practical  fea- 
tures, call  a  nearby  Kodak  A-V  dealer.  Or, 
write  for  Pageant  Bulletin  V3-22.  No 
obligation,  of  course.

recorder  an  essential  tool  in  speech  instruction.  Says  Mrs.  Plugge,  "My  Norelco

Univ.  of  Colorado  Named 
Tape  Duplication  Center 

The  University  of  Colorado  has 
been  designated  a  major  tape  dupli- 
cation center  for  modern  language  in- 
stitutes throughout  the  nation. 

Dr.  Robert  E.  de  Kieffer,  director 
of  the  Bureau  of  Audio-Visual  In- 
struction, said  his  office  has  begun 
reproducing  foreign  language  tapes 
as  of  Sept.  L  The  purpose  behind  the 
program  is  to  provide  teachers  who 
have  attended  the  modern  language 
institutes  with  tapes  to  aid  them  in 
their  classroom  work. 

De  Kieffer  said  his  office  will  pro- 
duce complete  sets  of  tapes  in  Rus- 
sian, Spanish,  German,  Italian  and 
French.  There  are  45  to  65  tapes  in 
each  set. 

Video  Tape  Exchange  Plan 
For  Practicing  Physicians 

The  Council  on  Medical  Televi- 
sion, with  the  aid  of  a  grant  from  Eli 
Lilly  &  Company,  will  initiate  a  proj- 
ect intended  to  develop  and  expand 
the  use  of  standard  broadcast  televi- 
sion as  a  means  of  supplementing  the 
continuing  education  of  the  nation's 
practicing    physicians. 

During  the  first  phase  of  this  proj- 
ect, each  of  three  medical  schools  will 
prepare  a  "course"  consisting  of  four 
lialf-hour  segments,  or  "cores,"  re- 
corded on  videfl  tape.  A  syllabus,  con- 
taining self-testing  material  to  sup- 
plement each  televised  presentation, 
will  be  prepared  also.  These  courses 
will  be  designed  primarily  for  the  gen- 
eral practitioner.  Production,  distribu- 
tion and  transmission  will  be  handled 
by  the  National  Educational  Televi- 
sion and  Radio  Center  (NET)  and  its 
affiliated  stations.  The  cores  -will  carry 
an  acknowledgement  to  the  pharma-

Letters 


Industrial    AV    Exhibition 


To  the  Editor: 

I  thought  you  would  be  interested 
in  the  letter  we  got  from  Dr.  A.  Perl- 
berg  of  the  Department  of  General 
Studies,  Israel  Institute  of  Technology 
in  Haifa,  Israel.  The  letter  is  self-ex- 
planatory, but  I  thought  it  would  be 
of  interest  to  you  to  know  how  wide 
your  readership  is  and  the  way  they 
follow  through  on  the  things  that  they 
read  in  Educational  Screen. 

We  saw  that  the  information  which 
he  requested  was  sent  to  him. 

Keep  up  your  good  work;  you're 
making  a  real  contribution  to  this 
field. 

Very  truly  yours, 

W.  D.  Brumbaugh,  Director 
Audio  Visual  Bureau 
University  of   Utah. 


To  the  Editor: 

The  All-Soviet  National  Library  of 
Foreign  Literature  is  the  central  re- 
pository of  foreign  literature  in  the 
Soviet  Union.  In  its  collections  there 
are  more  than  2,500,000  copies  of 
all  branches  of  knowledge. 

One  of  the  sources  of  acquisition  of 
literature  into  the  library  is  the  inter- 
national book  exchange  which  is  con- 
ducted with  625  libraries,  scientific 
foundations,  publishing  houses  and 
other  organizations  in  57  countries. 

We  are  very  much  interested  in  the 
broadening  of  exchange  of  publica- 
tions with  organizations  of  your  coun- 
try and  will  be  glad  if  you  are  agreed 
to  sending  to  our  library  the  journal 
you  publish,  "Educational  Screen,"  in 
exchange  for  Soviet  periodical  publi- 
cations that  you  need. 

In  the  event  of  your  agreement, 
we  ask  that  you  let  us  know  what  pub- 
lications   you   would   like   to   receive

To  the  Editor: 

My  thanks  for  drawing  to  my  at- 
tention an  error  in  the  statistics  in  the 
books  and  periodical  publications  in 
article  entitled  "Saskatchewan's  Vis- 
Ed  Branch."  There  was  a  typing  error 


in  the  manuscript  regarding  the  total 
number  of  pupils  attending  secondary 
schools.  The  400,000  pupils  should 
read  40,000.  I  have  had  inquiries 
about  this  from  different  people  across 
Canada  and  have  made  the  correction. 

Sorry  that  this  error  had  to  creep  in. 

Best  regards. 

Sincerely,

NEWCOMB 

pronunciator 


MODEL  AV-LSV 


a  new,  compact,  portable,  economical  language  trainer 


^ 


« 


The  Newcomb  Pronunciator  is  a  four-speed,  variable- 
speed,  compact  phonograph  with  an  earphone- 
microphone  headset.  It  is  designed  primarily  as  a  pro- 
nunciation comparator  in  foreign  langfuage  teaching, 
but  it  will  undoubtedly  find  many  additional  applica- 
tions in  libraries,  laboratories,  reading  rooms,  and 
other  classrooms.  The  Pionunciator  is  an  efficient 
teaching  tool  for  pupils  of  all  ages.  When  the  student 
repeats  a  word  into  the  microphone,  he  hears  exactly 
how  his  voice  sounds  to  others  as  well  as  how  closely 
his  pronunciation  approximates  that  of  the  recorded 
voice.  Circuit  of  vocal  sound  through  microphone- 
amplifier-headphones  in  effect  bypasses  hearing 
through  bone  conduction  -  the  usual  means  of  subjec- 
tive perception  —  and  gives  an  accurate,  objective  rep- 
resentation of  how  the  student's  voice  really  sounds. 
There  are  separate  volume  controls  for  phono  and 
microphone.  The  Pronunciator  is  equipped  with  the 
Newcomb  Acra-Set  tone  arm  lifter.  This  permits,  with 
the  turn  of  a  knob,  introduction  of  a  pause  between 
words  and  simplifies  repetition  of  a  passage.  It  also 


protects  the  record.  The  Pronunciator  capitalizes  on 
the  advantages  inherent  in  disc  recordings  —  ready 
availability,  low  cost,  and  ease  of  operation.  Virtually 
all  students  are  already  familiar  with  phonographs 
and  will  know  how  to  operate  the  Pronunciator  with 
only  a  minimum  of  instruction.  Not  only  is  the  acqui- 
sition cost  low,  but  the  Pronunciator  requires  no  archi- 
tectural modification  or  expensive  construction.  Yet 
it  is  surprisingly  versatile,  has  an  input  jack  for  audio 
signals  from  a  tape  recorder,  radio,  or  teacher's  am- 
plifier, also  has  an  output  jack  to  teacher's  monitor 
and  an  a.c.  outlet  for  film  projector.  It  requires  little 
maintenance,  is  as  ruggedly  built  and  dependable  as 
all  Newcomb  Audio  equipment.  It  weighs  just  12 '/4 
pounds,  can  be  easily  carried  from  one  room  to  another 
or  taken  home  for  special  assignments.  It  takes  up 
little  room  in  storage  — measures  6%"x9%"xl4%''.  It 
plays  any  size  record  up  to  12".  Write  for  your  free 
copy  of  Bulletin  AV-11  which  describes  the  Pronunci- 
ator in  detail.  Handy  bid  specifications  are  also  avail- 
able to  qualified  personnel.

editorial 


Traditionally  the  year's  end  is  a  time  for  inventory  and  stock  tak- 
ing. In  our  field  it's  a  time  when  we  can  count  all  the  countable 
things  we've  done  for  the  past  year.  We  can  count  tlie  new  AV 
equipment  acquired.  We  can  count  the  AV  materials  circulated 
and  used.  We  can  count  money  spent  and  money  saved.  We  can 
also  count  the  existing  needs  and  use  this  as  a  basis  for  new  budgets 
and  new  plans  for  the  coming  year. 

Year's  end  is  also  a  time  for  introspection.  A  time  when  even 
normally  extroverted  people  can  take  a  good  look  at  themselves 
and  try  to  answer  such  questions  as  "How  'm  I  doing?"  and  "Where 
'm  I  going?"  What  better  time  than  this,  then,  at  the  end  of  1960, 
for  audiovisual  people  to  take  an  introspective  peek  at  their  own 
roles? 

Throughout  this  past  year,  from  all  sides,  we  have  heard  of  the 
challenging  and  almost  fantastic  promises  of  the  coming  decade. 
_  ,  •  It's  an  imbelievable  technological  age  we're  moving  into,  they  say. 

I  t^  1^ /"^'YT^Qt  j^t^  1  Ctrl  In  the  next  ten  years  we  can  expect  greater  advances  than  in  the 

past  forty.  The  implications  of  known  technological  development 
for  changes  in  education  and  educational  methods  are  already  stag- 
gering to  normally  stable  educators.  But  new  breeds  of  educators 
are  rising  up  to  meet  these  challenges,  and  organizational  shifts 
are  being  made  to  accommodate  them. 

There's  a  "re-tooling"  going  on  in  some  educational  circles  that's 
more  than  the  building  of  new  schools  and  the  purchase  of  new 
equipment.  It's  a  change  of  attitude,  a  break  awav  from  assuming 
that  it  has  to  take  a  generation  for  a  new  idea  to  become  accepted 
practice  in  education. 

Dr.  Walter  Crewson,  dynamic  associate  commissioner  of  New 
York's  State  Education  Department,  urged  New  York's  superintend- 
ents to  get  set  to  experiment: 

"We  all  know  the  roadblocks  by  heart.  But  you— are  you  finding 
orderly  means  of  challenging  old  practices?  Have  you  appointed 
a  vice  president  in  charge  of  educational  heresy?  Do  you  look  hard 
at  a  new  idea,  or  do  you  discard  it  without  a  glance?  Sometimes  I 
wish  we  were  all  a  little  less  sophisticated  in  the  art  of  educating. 
Then  we  ivouldnt  he  so  wise  in  all  the  rationalizations  against  the 
new  and  unproven.  The  Department  is  tooling  up  for  a  real  journey 
into  the  unknown.  Will  you  join  us?" 

When  I  first  read  these  words  from  Dr.  Crewson,  I  scribbled  on 
the  margin,  "This  is  really  what  AV  leadership  is  all  about!"  And 
that  it  is.  All  these  years  the  true  audiovisual  leaders  luive  been  the 
imappointed  "vice  presidents  in  charge  of  etlucational  heresy." 
They've  been  the  discoverers  of  the  new  for  education  and  have 
been  the  ones  who  have  proved  the  values  of  the  improven.  They 
hav  led  pioneering  teachers  on  journeys  into  the  unknown.  Lantern 
slides,  stereographs,  motion  pictures,  radio,  sound  pictures,  tape 
recording,  language  laboratories,  television,  learning  machines,  all 
have  been  journeys  into  the  unknown. 
l^lll   Cj.   Jveecl  This,  then,  is  becoming  the  more  clearly  defined  role  for  audio- 

visualists  as  we  move  forward  to  meet  the  technological  challenges 
of  the  sixties.  Audiovisual  administrators  must  become  far  more 
concerned  with  innovation  than  with  administration. 

New  products  of  technology  from  all  fields  must  be  examined 
with  critical  imagination  to  discover  their  applications  to  educa- 
tion. The  promising  must  be  applied  creativelv  to  the  solution  of 
educational  problems.  The  unproved  must  become  tested  and 
proved.  Then,  finally,  the  new  proved  tools  must  be  promoted  and 
put  to  work  in  the  increasingly  complex  tasks  of  educating  the 
uneducated. 

Educational  innovation  is  the  new  primary  role  of  audiovisual 
leadership.  Audiovisualists  should  become  innovationists.

An  "Ed  Screen"  Staff  Report 


X  HE  year  1960  marks  the  close  of  an  exciting 
decade  of  growth  and  the  opening  of  a  new 
decade  that  promises  to  be  even  more  hvely.  The 
final  curtain  call  of  the  50's  was  well  summarized 
by  NAVA  president  W.  G.  Kirtley  in  the  August 
convention  issue  of  Educational  Screen  and  Au- 
diovisual Guide,  when  he  also  pointed  to  "the 
certainty  that  by  1970  we  will  be  using  wonder- 
ful, yet  undreamed  of  audiovisuals." 

Many  new  resources  of  today  and  tomorrow 
have  been  publicized  in  our  pages  during  the 
past  12  issues.  The  editorial  of  the  convention 
issue  dealt  with  one  of  them:  the  8mm  sound 
motion  picture 

"Here's  a  new  communications  tool.  A  real 
audiovisual  challenge  for  the  Sixties.  What 
are  people  saying  about  it?  What  do  you 
think?  How  are  you  going  to  find  your 
answer?  Or  is  your  mind  already  made  up!" 

With  big  guns  like  Eastman  and  Fairchild 
making  8mm  sound  projectors,  and  at  least  two 
souces  of  8mm  ( entertainment )  sound  films,  this 
medium  has  definitely  arrived. 

There  were  three  8mm  sound-on-film  pro- 
jectors on  display  in  the  1960  NAVA  trade  show, 
along  with  one  single  system  camera  for  shooting 
8mm  talkies.  Many  other  relatively  new  items 
were  there  also— language  labs,  techiiamation, 
teleprompters,  vidicon  just-plug-it-in  cameras, 
teaching  machines,  wireless  intercom  for  lan- 
guage lab  use,  special  receivers  for  stratovision 
reception,  etc.  And  just  beyond  the  1960  show 
were  such  promises  as  sound-on-filmstrip,  color 
videotape,  thermonuclear  recording,  and  culture 
storage  and  problem  solving  computers. 


A  similar  display  of  technological  advance  was 
seen  at  the  DAVI  convention  five  months  earlier. 
Fourteen  language  lab  manufacturers  vied  for 
the  attention  of  the  visiting  AV  professionsls 
with  nine  producers  of  language-teaching  ma- 
terial, eleven  makers  of  tape  recorders,  nine  rec- 
ord players  and  eight  teaching  machines. 

Ever  since  the  first  magic  lantern  was  set  to 
instructional  use,  the  "newest"  has  always  drawn 
the  biggest  house.  Our  Audio  department  editor 
"Pat"  Bildersee  wrote  of  this  in  reporting  the 
Cincinnati  show: 

"But  the  really  busy  exhibitors  were  show- 
ing teaching  machines.  These  were  simple 
machines,  some  of  them,  which  required  the 
skills  of  reading,  writing  and  pushing  but- 
tons. Others  were  highly  complex  electronic 
equipment  that  even  timed  the  responses 
and  scored  the  student  accordingly.  But,  as 
in  the  case  of  the  language  laboratories  not 
too  long  ago,  there  was  an  admitted  need 
for  more  and  still  more  program  material 
for  the  teaclaing  machines.  Just  as  each  new 
complex  machine  comes  into  the  market 
there  is  demonstrated  again  the  need  not 
only  for  equipment  but  also  for  adequate 
and  superior  materials.  Machines  are  last- 
ing, materials  are  used  and  gone  insofar  as 
the  individual  student  is  concerned,  and 
the  new  materials  must  be  supplied  all  the 
time." 

While  the  educational  psychology  theorists  are 
far  from  certain  as  to  the  sequence  or  fonnat  of 
these  teaching  machine  "programs"  (don't  say 
"instructional  materials"!)  film  producers  and 
textbook  publishers  (including  their  American 
Institute  of  Graphic  Arts )  have  jumped  into  this 
field  without  qualm.  "Programs'  in  aritlimetic, 
grammar  and  other  conformist  skill  areas  are 
promised  for  next  fall  by  Encyclopaedia  Bri- 
tannica  Films— and  in  two  versions,  too,  so  that 
they  may  be  sold  either  with  or  without  "ma- 
chines." McGraw-Hill  has  named  Godfrey  Elliott 
head  of  a  special  department  to  serve  this  field, 
and  Coronet's  tie-in  with  Kalart's  sound-on-film- 
strip may  provide  the  best  current  means  of 
audiovisualizing  what  until  now  has  been  pri- 
marily a  verbal  drill  device.  There  are  plenty  of 
manufacturers  to  make  these  machines  and  au- 
diovisual dealers  to  demonstrate  and  sell  all  that 
the  schools  will  take.  They  have  been  doing  this 
for  a  long  time;  one  of  the  first  of  these  firms, 
N'ictor  Animatograph  Corporation,  is  observing 
its  50th  anniversary  this  year. 

As  with  every  innovation  in  teaching  tools  and 
techniques,  there  are  blocks  in  the  path  of  broad 
and  speedy  acceptance.  The  first,  probably  much 
exaggerated,  is  the  alleged  reluctance  of  class- 
room teachers  to  change  their  teaching  patterns 
from  those  by  which  they  themselves  were 
taught.  There  is  not  likeh'  to  be  as  much  resist- 
ance to  a  simple  tin-boxed,  self-scoring  workbook 
as  there  was  to  the  relatively  complicated  mo- 
tion picture  projector  or  tape  recorder. 

A  more  insidious  obstacle  may  result  from  ex- 
treme, immoderate  claims  for  innovations  by 
their  protagonists.  Few  math  teachers,  however 
progressive,  would  be  attracted  by  the  claim  that 
the  full  four-year  math  course  can  be  mastered

Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  1960 


via  machine  in  one  year  of  night  school.  Nor  by 
the  boast  that  "in  ten  yeiirs  there  will  be  no  more 
teaching  by  people,"  made  by  a  psychology  pro- 
fessor spending  $49,000  for  machines  to  teach  his 
100  pupils.  Such  statements  recall  the  Edisonian 
dicta  of  a  half-century  ago  that  educational  mo- 
tion pictures  would  displace  both  teachers  and 
books. 

This  over-pressing  attitude  is  reflected  in  theo- 
retical discussions  among  AV  professionals  in  a 
lofty  dismissal  of  all  past  progress  as  "pre-techno- 
logical."  The  projection  of  picture  and/or  sound 
was  as  potent  a  manifestation  of  technology  as  is 
airborne  videotape  or  the  digital  computer  today. 
Only  those  improvements  which  proved  satisfac- 
torily applicable  to  educational  purposes  were 
absorbed  by  the  education  of  their  day.  The  new 
developments  will  similarly  be  absorbed  in  ours. 

The  educator  may  well  be  wary,  however,  of  a 
possible  monopoly  of  mass  communication  if 
nationwide  stratovision  were  tied  into  uniform 
compulsory  testing  machine  scores,  electronically 
graded  for  conformity  to  pre-set  patterns  of 
tliought.  He  may  look  askance,  too,  at  the  new 
philosophy  that  explains  human  thought  by 
analogy  to  the  workings  of  machinery  supposed 
to  approximate  human  thinking— a  philosophy 
which  dreams  up  apparatus  that  proves  only  that 
man's  senses  can  be  fooled. 

But  there  are  many  other  technological  devel- 
opments that  are  sure  to  strengthen  rather  than 
further  atomize  the  group  culture  so  basic  to 
democratic  society.  For  instance,  a  double-8 
sound  projector,  running  90  minutes  of  feature 
film  encased  in  a  dust-proof,  no-rewind  maga- 
zine, was  demonstrated  at  the  1960  meeting  of 
tiie  Society  of  Motion  Picture  and  TV  Engineers. 
A  somewhat  similar  20-minute  endless  loop  pro- 
jector has  reportedly  been  developed  under  the 
auspices  of  the  MIT  physical  science  study  com- 
mittee. Also  seen  at  NAVA  was  a  radical  redesign 
of  the  Graflex  16mm  motion  picture  projector, 
embodying  a  new  light  source  and  meeting  nu- 
merous demands  often  voiced  by  educator-users. 

Cameras  that  simplify  school  and  other  group 
film  production  are  seen  in  such  new  models  as 
the  Magnasync  dual  track  magnetic  single  sys- 
tem, and  the  Rapromatic  camera  attachment 
that  develops  a  film  as  fast  as  it  is  shot.  Polaroid's 
"3000"  speed  film,  instantaneous  projection  slides, 
and  promise  of  color  soon  to  come  have  many 
school  applications.  Improvements  in  transparen- 
cv-making  techniques  by  Ozalid,  Tecnifax  and 
Thermofax  are  further  examples. 

Most  encouraging  were  the  stories  about  novel 
adaptations  by  classroom  teachers  of  familiar  AV 
(■(juipment:  the  overhead  projector  for  group  cor- 
rection of  theme  papers;  a  math  teacher's  home- 
made tapes  to  teach  three  algebra  classes  at  once, 
with  special  attention  to  slow  and  fast  learners; 
tlu'  speech  teacher's  homemade  teleprompter  to 
coach  a  student  speaker  so  that  his  classmates 
were  not  aware  of  the  prompting;  a  guidance 
counselor's  taping  of  talks  by  visiting  college 
representatives  and  by  former  graduates  to  tell 
tlu'ir  job  experiences  to  the  new  student  crop— 
lliese  and  many  more  were  reported  in  the  pages 
f)f  EdScreen  and  AV  Guide. 

We  followed  the  progress  of  NDEA  adminis- 


tration, NAVA's  improved  liaison  with  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  School  Boards,  the  meetings 
of  DAVI  and  its  state  affiliates,  EFLA's  second 
successful  Film  Festival  and  its  branching  out 
into  regional  meetings,  NAVA's  increased  inter- 
est in  distribution  of  entertainment  films,  AVCO- 
PI's  coordination  of  AV  public  relations  for  its 
nine  constituent  national  groups.  The  effect  of 
the  National  Defense  Education  Act  will  long  be 
felt  not  only  in  the  large  volume  of  AV  equip- 
ment and  materials  it  put  into  use  under  Titles 
III  and  V,  but  as  initiator  of  over  80  research 
projects  and  more  to  come,  under  Title  VII. 

The  interrelationship  of  audiovisual  work  in 
church  and  school  involves  no  church-state  sepa- 
ration issue.  Our  February  editorial,  "No  Day  of 
Rest,"  urged  secular  teachers  to  put  their  pro- 
fessional skills  to  use  in  AV  activity  in  the  church. 

William  S.  Hockman's  Church  department 
each  month  offered  helpful  reviews  and  sage 
editorial  counsel.  Why  is  church  AV  usage  down? 
Hockman  said  one  reason  was  that  distributor- 
librarians  did  not  know  enough  about  what  was 
inside  the  cans  they  handled.  In  analyzing  this 
year's  "Green  Lake"  meeting  (at  Boulder)  he 
pointed  out  that  there  is  now  no  shortage  of 
either  equipment  or  materials,  but  that  utiliza- 
tion is  lagging. 

All  these  and  more  paraded  across  the  pages  of 
Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide  dur- 
ing the  past  year,  just  as  they  had  during  38 
previous  years.  The  forecast?  More  and  better. 
It's  reassuringly  "mature"  that  we  take  ourselves 
seriously.  Just  let  it  not  be  'too'  seriously.

Ne\v  Directions 
For  AV  Training 


1^ 


by  G.  M.  Torkelson 
and  E.  K.  Oxhandler 


X  HE  current  intensive  self-evaluation  being 
undertaken  in  the  field  of  teacher  preparation  in 
the  United  States  has  been  marked  by  contro- 
versy over  directions  for  the  future. 

One  group  in  our  society  feels  that  teachers 
are  best  prepared  through  a  liberal  arts,  general 
education  background  without  requiring  any 
professional  course  work  or  preparation.  Another 
group  feels  that  many  professional  courses  such 
as  those  in  methods  of  teaching,  educational 
psychology,  tests  and  measurements  and  audio- 
visual education  must  be  required  of  all.  Char- 
acteristic of  recent  trends,  however,  are  programs 
which  embody  an  extension  of  the  liberal  arts, 
general  education  background  of  all  pre-service 
teachers— while  retaining  a  basic  minimum  of 
professional  courses.  To  maintain  proper  balance 
in  this  latter  approach,  certain  economies  of  time 
and  effort,  particularly  in  course  offerings  and 
course  structure  are  essential. 

One  of  the  professional  content  areas  now  in 
the  center  of  this  dichotomy  of  ideas  is  that  of 
audiovisual  communications.  Some  professional 
educators  feel  that  the  essential  elements  of 
communication  and  the  use  of  instructional  ma- 
terials can  be  absorbed  almost  by  osmosis  from 
other  courses  aand  that  no  formal  professional 
training  is  necessary.  The  opposing  point  of  view 
insists  on  a  required  separate  course  in  audio- 
visual education.  1 

To  determine  the  relative  effectiveness  of  these 
divergent  approaches,  an  NDEA  research  proj- 
ect is  being  undertaken  at  The  Pennsylvania 
State  University  entitled,  "An  Exj>erimental 
Study  of  Patterns  for  Improving  the  Preparation 
of  Pre-Service  Teachers  in  the  Use  of  Instruc- 
tional Materials  and  of  the  Effects  of  Optimal 
Use  of  Instructional  Materials  Upon  Pupil  Learn- 
ing and  Teacher  Use,"  G.  M.  Torkelson,  director. 


The  study  is  divided  into  four  major  patterns 
for  improving  teacher  skills  in  audiovisual  com- 
munications. These  are: 

1.  A  separate  course  in  audiovisual  communi- 
cations. 

2.  The  integration  of  audiovisual  communica- 
tions into  general  methods  courses. 

3.  A  pattern  where  all  content  is  self-taught 
through  appropriate  self-study  aids. 

4.  Audiovisual  communications  taught  in  com- 
bination with  student  teaching. 

The  population  for  the  study  is  composed  of 
students  in  the  Elementary  and  Secondary  cur- 
riculums  at  The  Pennsylvania  State  University. 
In  most  instances  students  were  assigned  to  the 
patterns  on  a  random  basis.  Where  circumstances 
prevented  complete  randomization,  groups  were 
equated  statistically. 

All  students  were  given  a  battery  of  tests  in-

ion  and  trouble  shooting;  and  an  attitude  scale. 
Jpon  completion  of  the  course  of  study  (either 
i  or  16  weeks ) ,  these  same  tests  were  readminis- 
:ered  with  the  addition  of  a  timed  performance 
:est  on  audiovisual  equipment.  Since  the  mechan- 
cal  comprehension  test  was  used  only  as  an 
equating  instnnnent,  it  was  administered  only 
it  the  beginning  of  each  semester. 

The  materials  of  instruction  (films,  filmstrips, 
charts,  etc.),  the  syllabus  for  the  course  and  the 
ime  for  presentation  were  kept  equivalent  for 
iach  pattern.  If  variations  in  approach  were 
lecessitated  by  characteristics  of  the  pattern, 
mecdotal  notes  were  kept  to  record  the  differ- 
ences. It  is  the  purpose  of  this  article  to  describe 
he  student  teaching  pattern  and  to  evaluate 
he  findings  to  date. 

In  this  pattern,  the  basic  audiovisual  content 
s  taught  "on  location"  during  the  eight  weeks  of 
student  teaching.  Laboratory  instruction  and 
M-actice  with  equipment  is  integrated  into  the 
laily  schedule  of  the  student  teacher. 

In  general,  the  procedures  are  as  follows: 

1.  Students  meet  with  their  audiovisual  in- 
stnictor  initially  within  the  first  week. 

2.  Four  hours  per  week  are  scheduled  for  dis- 
cussion sessions. 

3.  Individual  appointments  are  arranged  be- 
tween instructor  and  students  for  laboratory 
practice  in  the  schools  where  their  teaching 
occurs. 

4.  Each  student  is  required  to  record  his  activi- 
ties on  several  forms.  Fonn  No.  1  is  used  in 
reix)rting  time  spent  in  using  audiovisual 
equipment;  form  No.  2  in  reporting  his  class- 
room use  of  instructional  materials.  On  form 
No.  3  the  student  orders  such  instructional 
materials  as  films  and  filmstrips  from  the 
Audiovisual  .'^ids  Library  at  The  Pennsyl- 
vania State  University. 

.5.  Each  instructor  spends  part  of  each  of  two 
days  per  week  at  the  center  observing  the 
students  using  audiovisual  materials  in  their 
classrooms. 

6.  Conferences  are  held  with  students  concern- 
ing their  experiences. 

7.  Near  the  end  of  eight  weeks,  the  examina- 
tions mentioned  previously  are  administered. 

The  student  teaching  pattern  is  further  modi- 
fied by  saturating  one  center  while  leaving  the 
other  as  is.  "Saturation"  means  that  equipment 
and  teaching  materials  are  adde<l  to  the  supply 
already  in  the  schools,  thus  approximating  a 
situation  where  materials  and  equipment  are  ob- 
tainable by  the  student  teachers  with  minimum 
delays. 

\n  example  of  this  facet  of  the  student  teach- 
ing pattern:  In  one  center  which  has  students  in 
six  elementary  schools,  each  school  was  supplied 
with  a  motion  picture  projector,  filmstrip-slide 
projector,  overhead  projector,  opaque  projector, 
tape  recorder,  record  player,  projection  stand 
and  portable  tripod  screen.  A  lantern  slide  pro- 
jector was  available  on  short  notice.  This  equip- 
inent  supplemented  that  already  owned  by  the 
scliool  system.  On  occasion,  different  makes  of 
the  projcx-tors  were  "traded"  among  the  schools 
to  provide  the  students  with  experience  on  dif- 
ferent equipment. 


The  "as  is"  or  non-saturated  center  used  the 
equipment  available  in  the  school  system.  Occa- 
sionally some  equipment  was  brought  in  only  for 
purposes  of  familiarizing  the  students  with  dif- 
ferent models.  None  of  this  equipment  was  left 
for  use  in  the  center. 

Results  show  that  combining  a  course  in  audio- 
visual communications  with  student  teaching  has 
an  obvious  advantage  over  the  other  patterns  in 
the  intrinsic  motivation  that  comes  from  using 
instructional  material  during  actual  teaching. 
While  the  students  taking  the  required  course  on 
campus  range  in  their  reactions  from  being  nega- 
tively rebellious  to  being  actively  interested,  the 
reactions  of  those  taking  the  course  while  student 
teaching  indicate  somewhat  less  negativism,  plus 
numerous  expressions  that  the  course  is  neces- 
sary and  interesting.  This  interest  is  maintained 
by  many  even  though  the  students  must  meet  for 
lecture  sessions  late  in  the  afternoon  or  in  the 
evening. 

Student  comments  bear  out  the  basic  premise 
of  the  student  teaching  pattern  that  the  time  to 
teach  instructional  materials  and  communication 
is  when  these  concepts  are  most  needed  and 
relevant!  Typical  student  reactions  are: 

"We  can  really  understand  the  reason  for  us- 
ing these  materials  when  we  see  the  children 
respond  to  the  things  we  are  trying  to  do." 

"The  things  we  talk  about  we  can  use  in  the 
classroom  the  next  day." 

"Although  it  makes  an  awfully  long  day,  I'd 
much  rather  take  the  audiovisual  communica- 
tions  course  this  way;   it  is  more  meaningful." 

"As  student  teachers  we  were  able  to  have 
questions  answered  as  situations  occurred  con- 
cerning visual  aids  and  equipment.  I  feel  that 
this  advantage  is  not  offered  to  students  taking 
the  course  on  campus." 

On  the  negative  side,  comments  were  concern- 
ed mainly  with  the  addition  of  the  course  con- 
tent to  workload  in  student  teaching.  Ideally, 
one  would  expect  that  the  adding  of  an  audio- 
visual course  to  student  teaching  would  not 
mean  the  equivalent  of  two  separate  experiences 
but  rather  a  commonality  of  experiences  which 
minimizes  the  repetition  inherent  in  the  objec- 
tives of  both  student  teaching  and  an  audio- 
visual course.  During  the  continuation  of  this 
experiment  over  the  academic  year  1960-61,  at- 
tention is  being  directed  toward  improving  this 
combination. 

What,  then,  may  be  concluded  from  our  ex- 
perimenting thus  far?  On  the  positive  side,  one 
could  conclude  that: 

1.  Audiovisual  instruction  during  stud  e  n  t 
teaching  offers  almost  immediate  classroom 
application  of  principles  and  materials  pre- 
sented in  the  course. 

2.  The  combination  with  student  teaching  is 
more  economical  in  a  time  sense  since  two 
similar  educational  objectives  are  being 
achieved  concurrently. 

3.  The  demands  of  immediate  use  of  materials 
and  equipment  in  student  teaching  offers  in- 
creased motivation  for  learning. 

4.  The  teaching  of  an  audiovisual  course  "on 
l(x;ation"  has  the  seconday  advantage  of 
stimulating    the    regular    teachers    to   "take

stock"  of  their  own  procedures,  particularly 
where  adequate  materials  and  equipment 
are  available.  As  a  result  of  this  form  of  "'in- 
service"  education,  some  of  the  regular 
teachers  have  introduced  new  techniques  in 
their  classrooms  and  have  requested  that  the 
school  administration  supply  additional  and 
newer  types  of  equipment. 

5.  At  this  point  in  the  experiment,  it  is  not  pos- 
sible to  make  conclusive  statements  concern- 
ing relative  amounts  of  learning  and  ac- 
ceptable performance  among  student  teach- 
ers attributable  to  any  pattern  or  combina- 
tion. The  authors  suspect,  through  their  ex- 
perience in  the  student  teaching  patterns, 
that  the  acquisition  of  knowledge,  skills  and 
attitudes  relative  to  the  incorporation  of 
audiovisual  materials  into  teaching  will  be 
enhanced  by  combination  with  student 
teaching. 

On  the  negative  side,  there  are  several  judg- 
ments that  can  be  made. 

1.  As  constituted  in  the  experiment,  i.e.,  with 
the  audiovisual  instructor  traveling  and 
teaching  at  the  center,  the  pattern  is  pro- 
hibitive on  the  basis  of  per  pupil  expendi- 
ture for  instruction.  The  audiovisual  in- 
structor spends  two  days  each  week  on  loca- 
tion in  this  procedure  with  25  students  as  a 
maximum.  This  problem  may  be  offset  by 
some  combination  of  self-study  materials 
with  the  student  teaching  supervisor  assum- 
ing responsibilities  for  the  audiovisual  in- 
struction. As  presently  stnictured,  however, 
this  would  place  an  extra  obligation  upon 


the  supervisor,  one  which  unfortunately 
could  be  detrimental  for  audiovisual  content 
since  skill  as  an  audiovisual  instructor  is  not 
always,  in  practice,  a  sine  qua  non  for  the 
employment   of  a   student   teaching   super- 
visor. 
2.  A  second  problem,  economic  and  also  logis- 
tic, concerns  the  need  for  adequate  supplies 
of  equipment  and  materials  to  provide  prop- 
er  teacher   preparation.    Where   equipment 
and  materials  can  be  concentrated  in  a  cur- 
riculum  materials  center  on  campus,  such 
convenience  can  insure  thoroughness  of 
training.  On  the  other  hand,  varying  sup- 
plies and  locations  complicate  the  task  of 
thoroughness  of  instruction  when  those  ma- 
terials may  be  incomplete  and   spread  in- 
conveniently among  the  buildings  of  a  pub- 
lic school  system.  In  comparison  with  this 
situation,  consider  how  many  students  might 
be  prepared   in   basic  audiovisual   skills  in 
the  course  on  campus  during  two  days  as 
compared   with   an   instructor  teaching  25 
students  on  location. 
Since   the    experiment    is    continuing    in    this 
academic  year,  with  some  revisions  in  the  stu- 
dent teaching  pattern,  it  is  not  possible  to  con- 
clude categorically  that  the  pattern  in  question 
is  the  best  way  to  prepare  teachers  to  use  audio- 
visual   materials.   Continued   experimentation  is 
being  coupled  with  observation  of  student  teach- 
ers in  action  once  they  have  achieved  their  first 
jobs.  This  report,  therefore,  should  be  considered 
only  as  an  interim  judgment  and  final  statements 
must  be  delayed  for  a  later  publication.

A  Community 
Resources  File 


by  Richard  D.  Foltz 


xV  useful  addition  to  administration  in  any 
school  district  is  a  catalog  listing  those  who  are 
specialists  in  a  given  area.  Often  these  are  non- 
teaching  people,  such  as  lapidarists,  musicians, 
dancers  or  collectors.  A  class  frequently  can  bene- 
fit from  a  lecture  or  classroom  visit  by  one  of 
these. 

My  first  experience  with  this  idea  of  a  com- 
munity resource  file  was  in  the  Bellevue,  Wash- 
ington, school  district.  It  was  felt  that  this  highly 
professional  community  had  a  wealth  of  supple- 
mentary knowledge  to  offer  the  school.  This 
knowledge  could  be  valuable  because  not  many 
teachers,  for  example,  can  present  a  collection  of 
rocks  for  a  science  unit  in  geology.  Likewise,  not 
many  classrooms  can  produce  a  set  of  slides  with 
a  commentary  on  "Buildings  in  Rome."  Perhaps 
the  community  could  produce  not  only  these  but 
an  ever  wider  range  of  information. 

Under  the  supervision  of  Patricia  Foster, 
director  of  instructional  material,  a  questionaire 
was  circulated  to  parents  of  the  school  children. 
The  questionaire  asked  parents  to  list  any  spe- 
cial experience  they  had  in  the  arts,  music,  sports, 
drama,  dancing,  mechanics  and  writing,  as  well 
as  other  fields.  They  also  were  asked  to  check 
an  applicable  hobby  such  as  stamps,  coins,  bird 
watching,  weaving,  photography  or  gardening. 
Other  items  asked  parents  to  describe  their  oc- 
cupations and  list  any  interesting  trips  they  might 
have  taken.  Finally,  space  was  provided  to  list 
any  other  persons  who  might  have  a  specialty 
and  who  would  be  willing  to  donate  their  time 
and  talent  to  the  schools. 

The  questionaires  were  then  sorted  and  ar- 
ranged according  to  subject  in  a  catalog  with 


other  classroom  aids  and  were  distributed  to  the 
teachers.  The  30-page  section  listing  community 
persomiel  who  would  be  willing  to  donate  their 
time  and  service  covered  15  subjects,  including 
arts  and  crafts,  drama,  English,  geography,  his- 
tory, science  and  travel. 

Other  school  units  across  the  nation  have 
similar  catalogs  or  projects.  Communication  with 
Benjamin  C.  Willis,  general  superintendent  of 
Chicago  schools,  revealed  that  in  one  of  the 
city's  southeastern  schools  .  .  .  "The  district  super- 
intendent, working  with  the  University  of 
Chicago  and  representatives  of  the  steel  plants, 
is  devising  methods  by  which  the  technical, 
mathematical  and  scientific  genius  of  men  in  re- 
search laboratories  might  bring  unique  academic 
talents  to  assist  in  the  educational  program  of 
the  high  school." 

Correspondence  with  J.  Wayne  Wrightstone, 
director  of  educational  research  with  the  New 
York  City  schools  revealed  that  their  Guidance 
News  lists  such  persons  in  that  city. 

The  Los  Angeles  city  schools  have  a  seven- 
page  list  of  programs  including  animal  acts, 
puppets  and  magicians.  These  entertainers  have 
been  previewed  and  rated  by  a  committee.  A 
fee  is  charged  by  many  of  these  entertainers. 

Ls  this  community  resource  file  available  only 
in  the  large  cities?  To  the  contrary,  even  a  small 
community  should  have  several  persons  with  an 
interesting  occupation  or  hobby.  Are  these  people 
willing  to  give  of  their  time?  Usually  if  approach- 
ed properly  and  invited  at  a  time  convenient,  they 
are  willing.  Of  course  they  should  know  the  age 
level  of  the  group  to  be  addressed  and  the  length 
of  the  class  period.

New  York  School 
Holds  Preview  Party 


by  Philip  L.  Burger 


X  HE  Preview  Party  is  gaining  in  popularity  as 
a  means  of  selecting  filmstrips  to  be  added  to  a 
school's  library  of  audiovisual  materials.  At  such 
a  party,  all  the  teachers  in  a  building  are  invited 
to  get  together  after  school  and  spend  a  couple  of 
hours  viewing  a  large  number  of  filmstrips. 

By  this  means  the  process  of  selection  which 
might  otherwise  stretch  over  a  period  of  weeks 
or  even  months  is  accomplished  in  one  afternoon. 
It  has  been  called  a  party  because  it  is  usually 
voluntary,  and  some  refreshments  are  served. 

Recently  I  was  asked  to  stage  a  preview  party 
at  the  Alexander  Central  School.  Alexander  is  a 
small  community  in  western  New  York  about  half 
way  between  Buffalo  and  Rochester.  The  Central 
School  comprises  two  buildings,  one  housing  the 
elementary  school  with  24  teachers  and  the  other 
housing  the  junior  and  senior  high  schools.  Sepa- 
rate preview  parties  were  held  in  each  school, 
one  on  Monday  in  the  elementary  school  and  on 
Tuesday  in  the  high  school. 


In  advance  of  the  preview  party,  the  audio- 
visual director,  Mrs.  Dorothy  Fritts,  queried  the 
teachers  as  to  their  interests  in  filmstrips  to  be 
added  to  the  school's  library— which  already  con- 
sisted of  about  500  filmstrips. 

This  list  was  reviewed  with  the  filmstrip 
dealer,  who  handles  four  major  lines  of  filmstrips 
offering  a  total  selection  of  some  5000  titles.  lie 
made  further  suggestions  of  new  or  outstanding 
filmstrips  and  arranged  to  have  these  available 
on  the  day  of  the  preview  party.  He  also  arranged 
to  supply  eight  previewers  and  four  filmstrip  pro- 
jectors to  supplement  those  available  at  the 
schools. 

The  library  room  was  used  in  the  elementary 
school,  and  filmstrips  were  set  out  on  six  tables 
divided  by  grade  level  and  subject  area.  Each 
table  had  at  least  one  previewer  and  projector 
and  other  tables  were  set  up  with  previewers  and 
projectors  so  that  all  24  teachers  could  be  ac- 
commodated. 


Mrs.  Dorothy  FriUs.  audiovisual  director,  and  the 
dealer  select  about  30  titles  for  viewing. 


The   dealer   explains   the   operation    of   one    of   his 
projectors  to  some  of  the  teachers.

Simple  evaluation  forms  were  provided  so  that 
teachers  could  make  notes  and  designate  their 
ihoices.  They  were  asked  to  indicate  their  prime 
hoices  so  the  list  could  be  reduced  if  necessary 
to  stay  witliin  the  funds  available. 

The  atmosphere  of  the  preview  party  was  ex- 
tremely informal  and  teachers  worked  either 
singly  or  in  groups  as  they  desired.  Coffee  and 
cookies  were  available  during  the  afternoon. 
Typical  reactions  of  the  teachers  were: 

"We  have  never  had  the  opportunity  of  seeing 
so  many  filmstrips." 

"This  was  an  interesting  break  from  our  usual 
teacher's  meetings." 

"We  didn't  realize  there  were  so  many  good 
filmstrips  available." 

From  the  standpoint  of  the  audiovisual  di- 
rector, it  saved  her  a  good  deal  of  time  as  com- 
pared with  the  methods  previously  used.  This  had 
involved  getting  filmstrips  in  as  they  came  to 
her  attention,  then  distributing  them  to  interested

teachers,  keeping  records  of  what  had  been  re- 
ceived and  making  sure  they  were  returned  when 
previewing  was  over. 

From  the  dealer's  standpoint  it  meant  that  he 
could  make  available  to  the  school  many  more 
titles  than  he  was  able  to  do  if  the  filmstrips  were 
left  with  the  school  for  a  period  of  time.  This 
he  can  do  with  a  smaller  investment  in  film- 
strips  than  if  he  were  to  leave  them  at  many 
schools  for  some  period  of  time.  To  make  it  eco- 
nomically advantageous  for  him  to  stage  a  "pre- 
view party,"  he  usually  has  an  understanding 
with  the  school  that  they  are  ready  to  buy  a 
quantity  of  filmstrips. 

One  note  of  caution:  From  the  school's  stand- 
point, a  preview  party  is  a  frustrating  experience 
for  teachers  unless  their  selections  are  added  to 
the  library.  Also,  this  kind  of  preview  does  have 
the  limitation  that  the  filmstrips  cannot  be  tried 
out  in  the  classroom  with  a  class,  but  in  most 
cases  this  is  outweighed  by  the  advantages. 


A    group    of   teachers    gather    for    consultation    on 
some  of  their  recommendations.

How  Audiovisual  Aids  Make 
Teaching  And  Learning  Easier 


(ir 


tai 


by  Estelle  W.  Hodes 


This  article  received  an  honorable  mention 
award  in  a  recent  contest  conducted  by  Viewlex, 
Inc.,  on  the  above  subject. 


xVMONG  the  goals  of  education  are  the  devel- 
oping of  the  pupil's  ability  to  deal  with  environ- 
mental factors  and  forces,  and  promoting  his 
growth  in  an  appreciation  of  his  cultural  heri- 
tage. Others  we  could  include  are  the  fostering 
of  an  intelligent  allegiance  to  American  ideals 
and  active  participation  in  democratic  practices, 
and  guiding  the  student  in  gaining  an  under- 
standing and  appreciation  of  the  contributions 
made  to  human  welfare  by  individuals  and  by 
the  various  national,  religious  and  racial  groups. 

The  teacher  who  makes  intelligent,  effective 
use  of  the  wealth  of  audiovisual  materials  avail- 
able to  him  can  make  subject  matter  vividly  in- 
teresting and  exciting,  and  can  offer  an  enriched 
and  much  broader  program  of  study.  These 
teaching  aids  can  help  the  student  acquire  bet- 
ter understandings,  provide  him  with  vicarious 
experiences  and  motivate  him  in  the  learning 
process.  They  provide  the  student  with  many 
learning  opportunities  through  which  he  can 
see,  examine,  hear  and  participate  in  classroom 
activities.  Thus  audiovisual  aids  play  an  impor- 
tant part  in  teaching,  particularly  since  verbal 
descriptions  do  not  always  make  clear  the  thing 
described,  and  often  a  lack  of  background  ex- 
periences of  the  student  prevents  full  compre- 
hension. 

For  example,  filmstrips  are  easily  projected 
and  studied  in  the  classroom  and  are  extremely 
valuable  in  teaching,  among  other  things,  under- 
standings of  word  symbols,  vocabulary  building, 
symbols  involved  in  maps  and  in  arithmetic.  The 
many  and  varied  education  filmstrips  make  possi- 
ble group  instruction  in  learning  skills,  develop- 
ing aesthetic  appreciations  or  providing  in  visual- 
ized form  reproduced  factual  information  which 
might  otherwise  not  be  directly  observed.  A 
single  frame  may  be  repeated  and  discussed,  and 
when  the  teacher  wishes  to  emphasize  a  particu- 
lar point,  he  can  control  the  timing  and  vary  the 
speed  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  students  or  ad- 
just the  commentary  to  the  level  of  the  students. 
Filmstrips  and  equipment  are  small,  compact, 
not  too  expensive  and  easy  to  operate.  The  film- 
strip  projector  may  easily  be  operated  by  stu- 


necessary  viewing  equipment  is  in  the  forefront 
of  educational-technological  development;  he 
dents  and  therefore  an  excellent  opportunity  is 
afforded  for  participation  by  students  in  this  class 
activity.  A  filmstrip  used  during  the  first  part 
of  a  period  may  be  best  utilized  if  discussion 
takes  place  at  tne  end  of  the  period,  after  the 
viewing  experience  has  been  thoroughly  ex- 
plored. Since  filmstrips  do  not  need  to  be  showTi 
in  total  darkness,  students  may  be  encouraged 
to  take  notes  in  preparation  for  further  discussion 
or  follow-up  research. 

Another  good  teaching  aid  is  the  slide  pro- 
jector, which  utilizes  2  by  2  inch  slides.  Though 
slides  are  somewhat  more  difficult  to  haixlle 
than  filmstrips,  they  are  extremely  flexible  in 
that  the  teacher  may  determine  the  sequence  ac- 
cording to  the  special  needs  of  a  particular  class. 
Slide  sets  may  be  easily  revised  and  kept  up  to 
date  simply  by  replacing  outdated  pictures  with 
newer  materials,  or  adding  individual  slides  made 
by  the  teacher  or  student.  The  teacher  should,  of 
course,  preview  the  slides  and  prepare  a  pre- 
liminary plan  of  the  slides  to  be  used  for  a  given 
lesson. 

Other  projection  materials  adaptable  for  class- 
room use  are  SV4  by  4  inch  lantern  slides,  stereo 
reels  and  microfilms.  The  lantern  slides  have  a 
larger  area  of  transparencv  image,  with  more 
detail  and  screen  brilliance  and  are  particularly 
good  for  use  in  reading  instruction  with  a 
tachistoscopic  attachment  on  an  overhead  slide 
projector.  The  stereoscopic  3D  slide  reel  may  be 
used  either  in  a  hand  viewer  or  a  special  pro- 
jector, and  it  helps  to  create  an  illusion  of  reality. 
The  low  cost  and  ease  of  handling  by  individual 
students  make  stereo  reels  a  desirable  medium 
for  special  enrichment  studies. 

The  imaginative  teacher  tries  to  make  use  of 
the  many  types  of  still  pictures  obtained  readily 
and  inexpensively  from  magazines,  newspapers, 
books  and  other  sources  all  around  us.  The 
opaque  projector  provides  the  teacher  with  the 
means  for  enlarging  pictures  for  viewing  and 
extended  study  and  to  develop  a  common  learn- 
ing experience  through  sequence  collection.  Pic- 
tures can  be  easily  understood,  have  great  value 
as  a  medium  of  communication,  and  can  serve 
as  an  international  language  for  the  social 
studies  program. 

The  teacher  who  can  avail  himself  of  the  great 
variety  of  educational  motion  picture  films  and

,'irtually  is  in  the  position  of  bringing  the  world 
o  the  classroom.  Through  dramatized  films,  the 
:eacher  is  able  to  help  recreate  the  past  in  teach- 
ig  ancient,  recent  or  contemporary  history.  He 
.an  present  geography  in  a  vivid  way  through 
:ravelogs  and  can  span  time  and  space  through 
ise  of  time-lapse  photomicrography  in  teaching 
cience.  The  alert  teacher  keeps  informed  of 
ources  for  obtaining  these  films  and  encourages 
ichool  administrators  and  interested  parent 
groups  to  make  them  available  to  the  school. 

Radio  and  recordings  also  play  an  important 
lart  in  helping  the  teacher  achieve  many  worth- 
while educational  goals,  and  through  them,  the 
teacher  is  able  to  bring  to  his  classroom  the  full 
range  of  the  "world  of  sound."  Through  discs  and 
tape  recordings,  the  teacher  can  relate  the  stu- 
Llent  to  his  present  day  world  as  he  weaves  a 
Lontinuous  story  of  the  political,  economic  and 
iociai  development  of  our  country  —  how  our 
iocial  institutions  and  democratic  principles  came 
into  being;  how  customs  of  other  nations  helped 
to  build  our  own;  and  how  the  citadel  of  de- 
mocracy, the  United  Nations,  became  a  reality. 
Appreciation  of  other  cultures  and  desirable  at- 
titudes toward  ethnic  groups  may  be  fostered 
through  recordings  of  music  of  other  lands,  and 
iit  the  same  time  "how  to  listen  to  music"  may 
be  another  desirable  outcome. 

Good  citizenship  can  be  taught  and  emo- 
tional responses  to  the  American  ideal  evoked 
through  the  vitalizing  recordings  about  the  lives 
of  famous  men  in  history.  The  history  lessons 
may  be  effectively  dramatized  and  students  made 
to  feel  that  "they  were  there"  as  the  illusion  of 
reality  is  created  through  use  of  recordings  of 
history-making  speeches.  The  voices  of  famous 
news  analysts;  the  oratory  of  Winston  Churchill; 
the  dramatic  voice  of  Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt 
as  he  spoke  to  his  people  and  the  people  of  the 
world  through  the  difficult  war  years,  and  then 
the  recording  of  his  funreal  procession;  the  boom- 


ing, dictatorial  voice  of  Adolph  Hitler,  the  sound 
of  the  Nazi  storm  troopers  marching;  the  epoch- 
making  occasion  of  the  acceptance  by  Douglas 
MacArthur  of  the  Japanese  surrender;  and  the 
voice  of  the  then  secretary  of  state,  Edward 
Stettinius,  as  the  San  Francisco  conference  of 
the  United  Nations  is  opened— all  of  these  and 
many  more,  including  musical  recordings,  are 
at  the  disposal  of  the  teacher. 

These  vital  events,  which  are  permanently 
"alive"  tlirough  recordings,  plus  the  beautiful 
music  of  our  land  and  of  other  cultures,  should 
be  fully  utilized  by  the  teacher  so  that  they  may 
serve  the  students  of  today  and  will  also  be 
available  to  serve  the  children  of  the  future. 

Recordings  may  be  used  for  integrating  subject 
matter  with  the  total  school  program  and  varied 
activities  such  as  dramatics,  to  develop  the  stu- 
dent's poise  and  overcome  personality  problems; 
English,  to  develop  interest  in  good  literature  and 
poetry  and  foster  habits  of  good  speech;  music, 
to  acquaint  students  with  various  types  of  music 
and  songs  of  other  lands;  physical  education, 
dance  instruction  and  sjiorts,  to  develop  rhythm 
in  exercise,  skill  in  games,  or  for  teaching  syn- 
chronized swimming. 

School  can  and  should  be  fim  for  the  young, 
and  the  properly  trained,  alert  teacher  draws 
upon  the  vast  reservoir  of  the  old  and  introduces 
the  new  tools  for  learning— films,  filmstrips,  field 
trips,  textbooks,  references,  newspapers,  maga- 
zines, slides,  flannel  boards,  pictures,  exhibits, 
and  others  to  make  the  school  day  come  "alive" 
with  meaningful  experiences. 

Teachers  are  in  the  enviable  position  of  early 
and  continuous  contact  with  children  and  youth 
and  of  having  the  opportunity  to  give  them  the 
benefit  of  the  enriching,  stimulating  audiovisual 
materials  which  will  help  them  to  develop  to 
their  full  potential  and  thus  nurture  the  nation's 
greatest  assets— its  young  who  are  learning  to  be 
the  citizens  of  tomorrow.

AV 

in  the  Church  Field 


by  William  S.  Hockman 


May  We  Comment,  Please! 

•  Gabriel  Courier,  commenting  on 
the  news  in  the  October  1960  Chris- 
tian Herald  magazine  says:  "A  Sun- 
day school  booklet  for  nursery  and 
kindergarten  classes,  part  of  the 
United  Church  of  Christ's  new  re- 
ligious education  curriculum,  shows 
Christ  and  his  followers  in  'Bermuda' 
shorts  or  slacks  and  sport  jackets,  with 
slight  beards  and  short  hair."  May  we 
make  two  comments:  After  receiving 
some  years  ago  a  scoutmaster  version 
of  Jesus'  life  and  work  to  come  out  as 
a  'church'  fUm,  we  predicted  that  it 
would  be  the  film  people  who  would 
first  give  us  a  modern-dress  version  of 
Jesus.  Let  me  apologize  to  the  film 
folks  right  here!  Secondly,  how  silly 
can  we  get!  Suppose  now  we  are  to 
get  Paul  in  a  power  boat! 

•  We  are  for  research.  We  are  for 
research  in  the  field  of  communica- 
tion. We  want  the  findings  of  research 
brought  fruitfully  into  the  production 
of  the  media  which  the  church  uses  in 
getting  the  Gospel  into  the  minds  and 
lives  of  boys  and  girls,  youth,  and 
adults.  We  want  the  validated  findings 
of  research  made  available  to  those 
who  devise  and  use  techniques  for 
the  church  hall  and  the  classroom. 

But  may  we  comment  that  we  are 
not  now  perishing  in  the  church  field 
for  more  and  better  'communication 
research.'  What  we  don't  have  is  edu- 
cational imagination.  What  we  lack  is 
knowing  how  to  relate  good  AV  ma- 
terials to  our  jobs.  It  takes  educational 
imagination,  experience  and  under- 
standing to  set  educational  material, 
whatever  the  media,  into  the  experi- 
ence continuum  of  the  child,  the 
youth,  the  adult,  whether  in  church, 
church  school  or  school.  No  amount  of 
research  will  stimulate  local  church 
leaders  to  use  what  is  already  avail- 
able, nor  will  it  motivate  local 
churches  to  provide  abundant  AV  ma- 
terials for  teachers  who  would  use  it

if  it  were  more  easily  available  for 
preview  and  study.  Lastly,  what  we 
really  need  is  to  catch  up  with  the  re- 
search we  already  have!  We  need 
motivation,  let's  face  this  unpleasant 
fact. 

Notable  Achievement 

A  decade  from  now  we  may  say 
that  it  was  the  United  Church  of  Can- 
ada which  showed  the  way  to  better 
and  broader  utilization  of  audio  and 
visual  materials.  As  we  look  back  on 
1959  and  1960  we  may  be  able  to  see 
that  it  was  the  skillshop  program  of 
this  great  church  which  sttirted  the 
use-curve  upward  on  the  graphs.  Cer- 
tainly, this  denomination  has  been 
pioneering  in  the  area  of  better  and 
wider  usage  of  AV  materials  in  ad- 
vancing the  total  program  of  the 
church. 

Just  concluded  is  their  fifth  skill- 
shop  for  those  church  leaders  who 
have  specific  responsibility  in  certain 
conferences  and  areas  for  education, 
missions,  men's  work  and  women's 
work.  At  Grand  Falls,  in  Newfound- 
land, close  to  40  church-men  and 
church-women  met  for  two  evenings 
and  two  days  to  learn  about  the  vast 
AV  resources  which  were  available  to 
them  in  furthering  the  goals  of  the 
local  church  and  the  denomination.  To 
this  was  added  knowledge  of  how 
audio  and  visual  materials  can  aid  the 
church's  work  in  all  areas  of  its  con- 
cern. And  to  this  was  added  one  more 
very  significant  thing:  how  these  peo- 
ple, one  by  one,  could  go  back  to 
their  own  presbyteries  and  confer- 
ences and  put  on  similar  skillshops 
for  the  people  in  the  local  church. 

This  intensive  program  was  taken  in 
earnest.  Out  of  four  previous  skill- 
shops  come  encouraging  results.  In 
Alberta  just  about  ever>'  conference 
of  the  church  is  holding  or  planning 
AV  skillshops  for  local  church  leaders. 
New  leaders  are  found.  The  AV  move- 
ment is  getting  down  to  the  grass 
roots  of  the  church.  But  it  all  started 
when  the  AV  leaders  of  the  denomina- 
tion resolved  to  do  something  and 
when  the  General  Council  approved 
this  far-seeing  and  already-fruitful 
pioneering. 


A  Remarkable  Film 

If  you  arc  convinced  that  your  fi\< 
senses  report  to  you  adequately  on  tin 
extent  and  nature  of  the  universe,  thci 
don't  see  the  60-minutc  c-olor  fih 
Windows  of  The  Soul.  If  you  woul( 
like  to  miss  seeing  one  of  the  finesi 
and  most  interesting  'science  films 
made  to  date,  then  don't  bother  aboui 
this  newest  release  from  the  Mood\ 
Institute  of  Science,  Hollywood  2.5 
California. 

After  seeing  this  film,  this  reviewei 
has  the  impression  that  it  will  be  somt 
time  before  its  beautiful  content  or- 
ganization and  its  general  technical 
excellence  will  be  e<jualled  or  surpass- 
ed. One  by  one  the  five  senses  art 
taken  up.  We  are  shown  how  wonder- 
ful they  are.  We  are  shown,  also,  hou 
inadequately  each  of  our  senses  report 
the  objective  world.  This  may  c-ome 
as  a  jolt  to  some.  It  will  stir  the  mind 
and  exalt  the  spirit  of  others.  "Shown," 
we  have  said.  Let  that  be  emphasized. 
It  is  these  experiments  which  make  up 
much  of  the  content  of  the  film,  each 
one  carefully  designed  and  beautifully 
recorded  by  the  camera.  There  is  fi- 
nesse in  all  aspects  of  this  job. 

When  it  comes  to  total  impact  we 
are  shown  that  all  the  wonderful  tech- 
nological apparatus  which  we  have  to- 
day has  been  called  into  existence  to 
supplement,  correct  and  extend  our 
senses  as  they  attempt  to  report  reali- 
ty. And  none  of  this  was  possible  be- 
fore man  took  a  'scientific'  attitude  to- 
ward his  tangible  world  where  the 
senses  operate.  Post-scientific  in  one 
area  of  life,  man  has  made  great  prog- 
ress; pre-scientific  in  his  attitudes  to- 
ward spiritual  values,  he  has  about  the 
same  general  stance  as  Ab,  The  Cave- 
man. 

To  get  down  to  today:  he  dreams  of 
peace  but  plans  for  war.  He  has  a 
technology  for  one  and  not  the  other. 
In  one  there  are  bold  ventures;  in  the 
other  timidity  and  paralyzing  hesita- 
tion to  venture.  Well,  you  see  the  film 
for  yourself  and  it  will  start  you  think- 
ing—and planning  to  present  it  to  the 
adult  and  youth  groups  of  your  church. 

We  Hate  To  Say  This 

Try  as  I  would,  I  could  not  like  the 
motion  pictures  Exploring  Ancient 
Cities  and  The  Dead  Sea  Scrolls  as 
much  as  I  did  the  filmstrips  Bible 
Cities  and  Bible  Scrolls.  There  must  be 
a  reason  why,  and  this  reason  may  be 
completely  personal  and  invalid.  1 1 
shall  not  be  dogmatic. 

First,  the  filmstrips  were  fine  film- 
strips.  They  had  good  technical  quali- 
ties—photography, color  balance,  edit- 
ing and  commentary  rated  fine  to  ex- 
cellent. They  reported  the  data;  they 


Educational  Screen  and  Audiovisual  Guide — December,  1960 


)t  across  what  they  set  out  to  deliver, 
here  was  no  motion  and  they  de- 
/ered  none. 

Secondly,    the   films    could    deliver 

"'  tie  more  than  the  still  pictures  by 

le  very  natiu-e  of  the  subject  matter. 

'"'  he    fiimstrips    mopped    up    all    the 

eaning.  There  was  nothing  e.xtra  for 

le  films  to  get.  Camera-action  here 

)uld  not  help  much.  The  subject  was 

atic  and  could  not  be  given  the  life 

motion  by  the  camera. 

In  the  third  place  we  must  acknowl- 

Ige  that  there  are  many  users  who 

ill  assume  that  if  the  films-trips  are 

ood  the  films  must  be  a  great  deal 

etter.  That's  the  slant  of  their  think- 

ig  and  notiiing  will  change  it.  Family 

ilmstrips,   Inc.,  knows  this  and  has 

rovided  a  film-version  for  those  who 

His1  have  everything  in  this  media. 

Intil  we  users  wise  up  on  the  inher- 

nt  nature  of  the  several  audio  and 

isual  media  the  producer  will  need  to 

erve  up  still-picture  material  in  the 

lore  expensive  and  less  effective  mov- 

ig-picture    form.    The    essential    na- 

Lire  of  a  given  body  of  subject  matter 

alls  for  a  certain  audiovisual  media 

nd  to  translate  it  into  any  other  media 

risky    procedure— in    my    not-so- 

lumble  judgment! 


Fine  Format 

Most  seeing  is  interesting.  Much 
hearing  is  dull.  Most  interesting  things 
will  be  entertaining.  There  is  such  a 
thing  as  an  interesting  film.  There  is  no 
entertaining  film.  Entertainment  is  a 
product  of  interest.  There  is  no  happi- 
ness-activity. Happiness  comes  out  of 
an  activity  of  a  certain  kind  and  which 
has  a  certain  structure. 

Now  all  this  is  to  say  that  we  need 
new  ways  to  make  films,  especially  in 
the  religious  field.  We  have  some 
mighty  interesting  things  to  report.  If 
we  show  them  the\-  may  be  interest- 
ing. If  we  talk  about  them,  in  either 
spoken  or  printed  words,  they  may  be 
pretty  dull.  We  certainly  know  that 
showing  gets  the  greatest  hold  on  the 
attention. 

It  must  have  been  this  sort  of  rea- 
soning that  guided  those  who  made 
the  30-minute  color  film  Island  hi 
Titne.  Could  you  talk  30  minutes 
about  four  training  centers  of  your 
denomination?  Could  you  be  lively 
enough  to  make  the  places  and  peo- 
ple come  alive?  Could  you  make  peo- 
ple glad  that  they  had  given  money  to 
such  work?  Could  you  get  more  money 
to  extend  this  work? 


Could  you  tell  how  people  found 
in  these  training  centers  what  they 
needed  to  release  their  personality  and 
spiritual  energy,  to  give  them  new 
views  of  themselves  and  their  friends, 
to  set  free  their  spirits  so  that  living 
became  more  meaningfid  and  service 
to  their  churches  and  communities 
more  significant  and  blessed  with  more 
tangible  results? 

I'll  answer  for  you:  You  could  not! 
But  this  film  gets  the  job  done.  It 
does  it  with  a  new  interview  format. 
There  is  no  jerkiness.  It  flows  smooth- 
ly. These  people,  who  speak  many 
different  times,  get  the  story  of  the 
training  centers  told,  .md  tell  us,  too, 
what  happened  to  them  as  persons 
while  they  were  there— some  for  a 
week,  some  for  several  months.  A 
good  film  for  denominational  film  plan- 
ners to  see.  From  Berkeley  Studios,

tliemselves  as  they  may  become? 

Doing  this,  and  giving  some  of  the 
answers,  seems  to  be  what  Family 
Filmstrips,  Inc.,  was  trying  to  do  in  its 
four-miit  "Young  Teens  and  Life 
Problems"  series.  The  42-frame  Who 
Am  1?  is  to  help  young  teen.s  get 
acquainted  with  themselves  physical- 
ly, mentally,  spiritually— as  children  of 
God  and  as  liaving  a  purpose  to  ful- 
fill. Dorothy  Severance  writes  the 
commentary  and  the  stylizetl  cartoon 
art  is  by  Jerry  Bovven.  Tammy  Wind- 
sor and  Richard  Gerring  voice  the 
commentary.  The  teenager  and  her 
mother,  from  across  the  street,  who  sat 
in  on  the  preview  of  this  series, 
thought  this  the  best  of  the  set. 


What  Can  I  Believe?  That's  a  teen- 
age problem  of  fir.st  magnitude!  Here 
we  see  a  teenage  boy  and  girl  trying 
to  evaluate  several  different  philoso- 
phies of  life.  A  narrator  keeps  the  con- 
tinuity intact  and  supplies  .some  of  the 
slants.  At  last  these  several  life-stances 
are  compared  with  that  of  the  Chris- 
tian, which  kwks  pretty  sensible.  In 
this  'philosophy'  there  is  something  to 
try  and  to  believe.  The  above  team  is 
joined  by  Stan  Warwick  who  helps 
with  the  narration.  The  mother  said: 
"Not  quite  as  clear  as  the  first."  Her 
daughter:  "Gee,  I'd  have  to  see  that 
several  times.  I  didn't  quite  get  it." 
Well,  why  not?  Good  usage  can  surely 
take  care  of  that!

Now  we  come  to  the  tough  jol 
Christian  Commitment.  It  is  broug] 
off  by  the  same  team  as  the  first  abov 
and  I  think  they  do  pretty  well.  Tl 
producer  says  we  should  look  for  the} 
things  on  the  filmstrip;  "Some  cause 
to  which  people  dedicate  their  live 
results  of  dedicating  one's  life  to  ui 
worthy  goals;  changes  that  come  whe 
a  person  accepts  Christ  as  Lord  an 
Savior."  Are  these  things  touched  uj 
on?  They  are.  How  well?  Now  that 
the  rub!  How  well  in  a  short  filmstri 
can  this  broad  and  deep  subject  b 
explored.  We  think  gocKl  enough,  an 
we  think  the  follow-up  can  easily  tak 
up  where  the  filmstrip  leaves  of 
After  all,  that  is  what  the  filmstrips  ai 
for— getting  the  subjec-t  before  th 
group  for  discussion,  not  to  stop  i 
Education  is  what  educators  bring  t 
pass.  In  getting  results,  they  use  a 
sorts  of  materials. 

Should  Young  Teens  l(x)k  ahead  t 
college  and  career?  They  certain! 
should.  A  lot  of  them,  according  t 
some  pretty  reliable  findings,  wi 
wind  up  doing  in  adult  life  what  the 
dreamed  themselves  doing  when  the 
were  around  13  years  old.  Lookin. 
Ahead  To  College  and  Career  wa 
turned  out  by  writer  Robert  L.  Dan 
ner,  artist  Richard  Moore  and  narrato 
Mar,x  Hartman.  The  mother  am 
daughter  from  across  the  street  likei 
this  one,  and  the  teenager  was  tliink 
ing  about  career  and  college.  Tvv. 
things  were  accented:  the  idea  tha 
we  are  stewards  before  God  of  ou 
lives  and  our  talents,  and  that  then 
are  things  we  can  do  now  about  col 
lege  and  career.  Good  job! 

Each  of  these  filmstrips  uses  t\v( 
frames  to  state  what  they  are  dri\in( 
at.  That's  a  help.  Each  one  has  dis 
cussion  bands.  These  are  pretty  good 
Each  has  a  fine  leader's  guide,  to  b( 
taken  seriously  by  the  user.  Techni 
caljy,  all  four  meet  the  test  of  gooc 
quality. 

Now  for  u.se:  Junior  High  younj 
people  should  see  them.  Not  too  fast 
please.  One  each  week  might  be  toe 
much.  Try  presenting  one  a  meeting 
with  assigned  follow-up  activities  foi 
the  group  and  discussion  the  nex' 
week.  I'd  string  them  over  foul 
months.  This  allows  the  group  to  ma- 
ture some  and  voids  that  overstuffec 
feeling  teenagers  often  get  when  the 
same  theme  or  meeting  format  is  >isec 
too  long. 

Lastly,  I'd  use  them  with  the  par- 
ents. My  neighbor  was  sure  that  par- 
ents ought  to  see  them  in  order  to  talk 
out  some  of  the  ideas  presented.  1 
think  she  was  dead  right  on  this.  Sc 
get  and  use  this  top-grade  series.  From' 
your  AV  dealer,  of  course.

"The  Old  Order  Changeth  .  . . 

.  .  .  yielding  place  to  new " 

wrote  Alfred  Lord  Tennyson  and  this 
statement  is  true  particularly  regard- 
ing the  field  of  recording  and  the 
school  use  of  records. 

About  a  quarter  of  a  million  words 
ago— in  September,  1948,  in  the  first 
of  these  columns— we  WTOte:  "LP  or 
'long-playing'  records,  on  which  the 
conventional  three-disc,  six-sided  al- 
bum can  be  reproduced  on  one  side  of 
a  single  12-inch  record,  represent  a 
technical  advance  in  the  recording 
art." 

Perhaps  this,  in  retrospect,  is  the 
cautious  and  conservative  understate- 
ment worthy  of  review  because  the 
introduction  of  microgroove  recording 
has  revolutionized  an  entire  industry. 
More  than  that,  it  has  also  revitalized 
an  industry  which  had  faded  from  the 
social  scene,  having  been  replaced  by 
other  media,  and  was  then  facing  the 
impact  of  total  television.  Yet,  today, 
12  years  later,  the  long  playing  rec- 
ord has  become  so  commonplace  in 
home  and  .school  that  it  is  difficult  or 
impossible  to  find  a  single  person  who 
still  uses  the  older  '78'  rpm  records 
except  to  replay  recordings  of  nostal- 
gic value. 

Schools,  in  1948,  boasted  many  rec- 
ord players,  all  of  them  solely  adapted

to  the  standard  groove  record.  There 
were  dual  speed  players  adapted  to 
standard  records  and  16  inch,  33.3 
rpm  transcriptions.  But  the  record  we 
know  today  was  then  unknown.  It 
may  be  possible  that  today's  freshman 
in  a  teacher  training  institution  has 
never  heard  a  shellac  78  rpm  record! 
Such  is  the  change  in  the  industry. 
Today  we  doubt  that  a  school  exists— 
certainly  not  a  multi-room  school— 
which  does  not  have  and  use  a  rec- 
ord player.  And  the  records  in  use  are 
all— or  practically  all— 33.3  or  4.5  rpm 
microgroove  records. 

There  are  two  exceptions  worthy 
of  mention.  Some  schools  are  also  us- 
ing the  even  newer  16.67  rpm  rec- 
ords on  which  almost  one  full  hour  of 
sound  can  be  etched  on  one  side! 
And  some  schools  are  using  78  rpm 
records  for  health  and  physical  edu- 
cation classes  in  which  much  rapid 
student  movement  is  involved.  And 
this  is  logical  because  in  the  larger 
gr(X)ve,  tlie  larger  styli  ride  more  even- 
ly under  such  extremes  as  folk  and 
square  dancing. 

Back  in  the  early  days  of  the  col- 
umn—again in  1948— we  reported  that 
"more  than  30  record  companies  pro- 
duce records  which  will  be  useful  in 
schools."  Today  the  number  has  dou- 
bled and  again  doubled,  and  the  end 
is  far  from  being.  In  the  past  few 
months  we  have  heard  and  reported 
on  the  product  of  twice  this  number 
of  companies  and  we  have  but  scratch- 
ed the  surface,  for  we  believe  it  to  be 
our  responsibility  to  bring  to  your  at-

NEW 

projection  screen 
now  enables  you 
to  view  pictures  in 
semi-darkened  rooms 

It  is  true  that  you  can  project  better  pictures 
in  darkened  rooms— but  there  are  many 
times  when  room  darkening  is  inconvenient, 
difficult  and  costly.  Now,  with  the  new  Radiant 
exclusive  "truly  lenticular"  screen,  which 
controls  both  horizontal  and  vertical  light 
reflection,  you  can  project  slides  and  movies 
effectively  in  normally  or  partially  lighted 
rooms  where  no  unusual  lighting  conditions 
prevail.  For  schools— this  enables  viewers 
to  take  notes  during  showings,  minimizes 
inattention  and  misbehavior,  and  permits 
simultaneous  use  of  collateral  material.

tention  the  worthwhile  product  and 
not  the  second  rate  material. 

Catalogs  of  records  have  changed 
in  appearance  and  content  over  this 
period,  too,  and  the  record  companies 
are  working  hard  not  only  to  create 
school-valuable  discs  but  also  to  sup- 
ply schools  with  reliable  information 
about  their  recordings.  We  urge  you 
to  seek  the  new,  revised  educational 
record  catalogs  published  by  RCA 
Victor  (155  East  24th  Street,  New 
York  10)  and  by  Capitol  Records 
(1750  North  Vine  Street,  Hollywood 
28).  These  are  but  two  of  many  but 
they  have  been  issued  very  recently 
and  if  you  do  not  already  have  them, 
they  are  worth  acquiring. 

Some  of  the  more  active  producers 
in  the  field  whose  catalogs  you  may 
want  to  have  at  hand  are  Folkways 
Records  (117  West  46th  Street,  New 
York  36),  Audio  Education  (55  Fifth 
Avenue,  New  York  3),  Columbia  Rec- 
ords (799  Seventh  Avenue,  New  York 
19),  Spoken  Arts  (95  Valley  Road, 
New  Rochelle,  N.  Y.),  Spoken  Word 
(10  East  39th  Street,  New  York  16), 
Caedmon  Records  (277  Fifth  Avenue, 
New  York  16),  Decca  Records  (445 
Park  Avenue,  New  York  22),  Enrich- 
ment Records  (246  Fifth  Avenue, 
New  York  1),  Carrillon  Records  (202 
Davenport  Avenue,  New  Haven, 
Conn.)  and  Weston  Woods  Studios 
(Weston,  Conn.). 

Of  course  no  such  list  is  exhaustive 
and  it  does  not  mention,  much  less 
emphasize,  the  great  contributions 
made  by  producers  who  offer  a  very 
few  titles.  These,  too,  should  be  in- 
vestigated and  should  be  known  to 
audiovisualists  and  teachers. 

The  world  of  records  for  instruc- 
tion is  growing  up,  and  whereas  the 
bulk  of  yesterday's  contribution  was 
directed  at  the  elementary  school  the 
weight  of  today's  record  product  is  on 
an  'egghead'  level  and  is  designed  to 


appeal  to  much  more  mature  students 
and  to  adults. 

There  are  good  reasons  for  this. 
First,  there  is  a  growing  realization  of 
the  potential  contribution  of  record- 
ings to  instruction  on  all  levels,  per- 
haps spuiTed  by  the  language  explo- 
sion of  recent  months  in  which  the 
recording  has  come  into  its  own  as  a 
tool  for  use  by  both  student  and 
teacher.  Another  reason— a  strong  one 
—is  that  many  more  libraries  are  cir- 
culating records  as  a  factor  of  the 
library  loan  service.  It  is  probable 
that  considerably  more  than  2,000 
public  and  college  libraries  support 
spoken  record  collections  and  circu- 
late them  to  the  listening  public,  to 
schools,  and  use  them  in  a  variety  of 
ways  to  increase  traffic  at  the  loan 
desk.  Much  of  this  progress  can  be 
traced  to  the  development  of  long 
playing  or  microgroove  records  less 
than  20  years  ago! 

Schools  can  and  should  borrow 
some  library  techniques  themselves 
and  use  them  to  increase  listening- 
purposeful  listening— on  the  part  of 
their  students.  For  instance:  has  your 
school  library  a  listening  corner  where 
students  can  sit  with  headphones 
and  hear  masterpieces  of  literature  as 
they  are  interpreted  by  great  artists? 
Has  your  library  offered  students  the 
opportunity  thus  to  hear  history  as  it 
was  made  through  the  last  double 
decade?  Our  young  people  are  inter- 
ested in  what  goes  on  about  them; 
they  are  capable  listeners  and  should 
have  this  opportunity. 

Do  you  schedule  a  daily,  or  weekly, 
voluntary  audio  program  for  inter- 
ested students?  Have  you  thought 
that  you  might  schedule  a  complete 
Shakespearean  play  over  a  five  week 
period,  presented  serially,  act  by  act, 
for  interested  student  listeners?  It 
can  be  done  and  should  be  done. 
Have  you  planned  for  your  students  to

many  others  to  mention?  Indeed,  what 
have  you  done  about  using  records  to 
acquaint  your  students  with  the 
sounds  of  modem  American  poets? 
You  can  profitably  use  the  address  we 
gave  you  for  Carillon  Records  and 
discover  a  wealth  of  material  in  just 
this  little  area  available  to  you  now! 

You  may  ask,  "Where  can  we  bor- 
row these  for  our  students  to  hear?" 
You  are  aware  that  loan  libraries  of 
records  do  not  exist  as  do  film  librar- 
ies. But  the  per  um't  cost  of  records  is 
parallel  with  the  per  unit  cost  of 
books,  and  schools  without  adequate 
library  facilities  today  are  depriving 
students  of  learning  and  of  experi- 
ences which  are  integral  to  growth. 
Borrowing  records  for  this  purpose  is 
undesirable;  the  recordings  should  be 
on  hand  and  readily  available  for  the 
variety  of  in-class,  out-of-class  and 
home  listening  opportunities  which  are 
ever  present. 

Most  homes  today  boast  record 
players,  few  have  16  mm  sound  pro- 
jectors. Most  students  have  access  to  a 
variety  of  essential  equipment  for 
their  audio  learning,  and  little  access 
to  machines  essential  for  film  projec- 
tion. As  we  teach  the  'whole'  child,  so 
we  must  offer  him  the  'whole'  experi- 
ence through  every  medium  at  our 
command  and  indeed  make  it  easy  for 
the  student  to  know  the  variety  of  ex- 
perience available  to  him. 

Newspapers  most  recently  have 
been  headlining  the  problem  of  learn- 
ing in  the  area  of  English.  Such  state- 
ments as  "Colleges  To  Fight  Decay  In 
English"  and  "National  Program  Set 
Up  To  Overhaul  English  Teaching" 
indicate  the  seriousness  of  the  prob- 
lem. But  too  often  the  college  looks 
not  at  itself  but  at  lower  institutions 
in  decrying  current  efforts.  The  Col- 
lege Entrance  Examination  Board  re- 
cently started  "the  first  nationwide 
program  to  halt  the  deterioration  of 
high  school  English  instruction."  The 


CEEB  is  urging  that  English  teachers 
stress  first  and  foremost  the  formal 
teaching  of  language,  composition  and 
literature  while  underscoring  the  need 
for  knowledge  of  grammar  and  a  max- 
imum of  clear,  descriptive  writing 
where  demanded. 

The  CEEB,  we  hope,  has  not  lost 
sight  of  the  importance  of  language  as 
a  communications  tool.  Teachers  lis- 
tening to  the  'off  the  cuff'  remarks  of 
the  presidential  candidates  these  few 
months  past  have  perhaps  been  horri- 
fied and  dismayed  at  some  of  the  sen- 
tences (a  generous  use  of  the  word) 
employed.  Yet  comprehension  was 
complete.  The  listener  knew  what  at- 
titude was  being  expressed  and  what 
ideas  were  being  expounded. 

Some  Self-Examination 

We  hope  that  the  colleges  will  look 
unto  themselves,  too,  in  this  examina- 
tion. We  have  been  told  that  educa- 
tion in  the  art  of  communication, 
study  in  English  to  be  specific,  is  hard- 
ly significant  in  a  technically  oriented 
institution  preparing  students  for  other 
than  intellectual  pursuits.  Just  as  we 
urge  a  broad  listening  program  upon 
the  secondary  schools,  so  we  urge 
similar  programs  intensified  by  ma- 
turity upon  the  colleges  so  that  their 
highly  trained  individual  may  also  be 
appreciative  of  letters  and  able  to  use 
both  the  written  and  the  spoken  word 
effectively  in  communications. 

We  are  not,  fundamentally,  in  dif- 
ference with  the  CEEB,  but  rather 
we  urge  that  each  of  us  look  to  the 
institution  wherein  we  serve  and  ask 
the  searching  questions  which  evolve 
into  "What  more  can  we  do,  now  and 
tomorrow,  to  offer  all  of  our  students 


the  greatest  opportunity  to  become 
acquainted  with  the  literary  heritage 
and  creation  of  a  vibrant  society?" 

Books  and  records  together  offer  the 
greatest  opportiuiity  we  have,  as 
schoolmen,  to  achieve  the  desired  end. 
A  literate  body  politic  will  be  discrimi- 
nating, expressive  and  responsive. 
Thinking  will  become  a  discipline,  a 
self-di.scipline  if  you  please,  in  which 
the  questions  of  "how"  and  "why" 
become  commonplace.  No  student 
should  reach  or  leave  college  unpre- 
pared to  read  intelligently,  to  hsten 
intelligently  and  to  communicate. 

Dr.  Edward  S.  Noyes,  acting  pres- 
ident of  the  CEEB,  expressed  the  hope 
that  Congress  would  extend  and  en- 
large the  National  Defense  Education 
Act  to  include  and  to  emphasize  the 
study  of  English  .so  that  it  would  re- 
tain its  proportionate  value  and  posi- 
tion in  the  educational  plan  of  the  na- 
tion. With  this  we  heartily  agree  pro- 
viding that,  in  accepting  federal  sup- 
port, no  community  is  required  to 
abandon  any  facet  of  its  control  over 
the  scope  of  matter  studied  in  the 
classrooms  but  rather  is  encouraged  to 
reassert  this  control  and  to  expand 
offerings  to  meet  the  demands. 

Further,  in  the  establishment  of 
these  forms  of  aid  designed  to  make 
dramatic  contribution  to  educational 
progress,  the  Congress  must  establish 
more  adequate  safeguards  so  that  no 
small,  ambitious,  self-seeking  clique  of 
empire  builders,  no  matter  where  or  in 
what  position  of  responsibility  and 
prominence,  can  seek  to  gather  unto 
themselves  educational  control  which 
deprives  the  local  community  and  the 
hardworking  school  board  and  local 
school  administrator  of  ultimate  au- 
thority and  responsibility.

FILMSTRIPS 


hy  Irene  F.  Cypher 


Every  so  often  it  is  apparently  wise  to 
repeat  a  theme,  reiterate  a  word  of 
caution,  review  something  said  in  the 
not  too  distant  past.  With  no  apologies 
therefore,  we  wish  to  recall  the  fact 
that  everyone  concerned  with  the  pro- 
duction of  filmstrips  has  at  one  time  or 
another  w;irned  of  the  danger  which 
lies  in  making  filmstrips  too  long,  the 
danger  of  including  too  many  frames 
in  any  one  strip. 

A  filmstrip  that  is  over-long  can  be 
a  deadly  failure  in  the  classroom. 
Teachers  tend  to  project  a  strip  in  its 
entirety,  no  matter  how  often  they 
hear  it  said  that  efl^ective  utilization 
occurs  if  you  use  only  a  few  frames  at 
a  time,  or  project  only  a  section  of  a 
sti'ip  at  a  time.  The  teacher  who  ac- 
tually gets  material  and  projection 
equipment  together  for  a  lesson  usual- 
ly proceeds  to  show  a  filmstrip  through 
to  the  bitter  end,  and  if  the  strip  is  50 
or  60  frames  in  length,  chances  are 
the  class  will  be  happy  when  the  les- 
son is  over. 

My  grandfather  used  to  say 
"Enough  is  as  good  as  a  feast"  and 
that  certainly  applies  to  the  number 
of  frames  included  in  any  one  film- 
strip.  In  the  past  few  months  we  have 
seen  a  number  of  rather  long  film- 
strips,  and  we  hope  the  producers 
stop  to  consider  the  wisdom  of  keep- 
ing classroom  viewing  situations  in 
mind  before  they  make  either  sets  of 
stiips  or  single  units.  Gilbert  and  Sul- 
livan have  advised  us  to  "make  the 
punishment  fit  the  crime,"  and  we 
think  this  good  advice  to  keep  in 
mind  when  editing  filmstrips  material. 

Creative  Cookery  With  Cereals  (sin- 
gle strip,  c-olor;  produced  by  die  Cereal 
Institute,  135  South  LaSalle  St.,  Chi- 
cago 3,  111.;  available  without  charge 
to  high  school  economics  depart- 
ments.) An  interesting  filmstrip,  co- 
ordinated to  a  cook  book  pamphlet, 
with  some  good  information  about 
how  to  use  cereals  in  many  kinds  of 
cookery.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
the  filmstrip  constantly  turns  our  at- 
tention to  the  cook  book,  and  sets  the 


Comments  and  materials  for  review 
should  he  sent  to  the  department  edi- 
tor—Irene F.  Cijpher,  New  York  Uni- 
versity, 26  Washington  Square,  New 
York  3,  N.  Y. 


stage  for  actual  cooking  experiences. 
We  are  given  some  facts  about  the 
nutritional  value  of  cereals,  a  daily 
food  guide,  and  an  account  of  the 
grains  from  which  we  derive  our  fa- 
miliar cereals.  This  is  a  useful  combi- 
nation of  filmstrip  and  printed  ma- 
terial, particularly  good  for  junior  and 
senior  high  school  work. 

Groicinfi  In  Citizenship  (six  strips, 
color;  produced  by  Young  America 
and  available  from  McGraw-Hill  Book 
Co.,  330  West  42  St.,  New  York  36, 
N.  Y.;  $33.50  set;  $6.50  single  strip). 
Understanding  of  the  responsibilities 
of  citizenship  is  the  basis  for  the  suc- 
cessful continuance  of  our  own  way  of 
life.  This  series  shows  how  the  good 
citizen  carries  out  his  part  by  obeying 
rules  and  laws,  by  cooperating  with 
others,  by  respecting  property  and  by 
living  honestly. 

The  stories  and  facts  are  presented 
in  terms  that  will  be  meaningful  to 
pupils  of  grades  4  through  7.  The  sit- 
uations are  normal  class  elections,  so- 
cial events,  bus  trips,  writing  and 
preparation  of  a  class  play.  The  indi- 
vidual is  seen  in  relation  to  people  and 
situations,  and  the  stories  seem  tnie  to 
life.  There  is  good  material  for  dis- 
cussion and  language  arts  work  and 
also  for  citizenship  education. 

Israel:  The  Land  and  The  Peoph 
(7  strips,  color;  produced  by  Encyclo- 
paedia Britannica  Films,  1150  Wil- 
mette  Ave.,  Wilmette,  111.;  $42  pei 
set,  $6  single  strips ) .  We  have  always 
thought  it  important  to  understand  the 
environmental  background  in  order  to 
understand  any  nation  and  this  seriej 
gives  us  a  very  good  picture  of  the 
land  behind  the  new  Israeli  nation 
One  strip  presents  an  over-all  story  ol 
Israel;  other  strips  take  up  the  stor> 
by  showing  us  what  the  various  sec- 
tions and  groups  are  like:  Galilee. 
Haifa  and  the  Valley  of  Jezreel,  The 
Negev,  Tel  Aviv  and  the  Coasta 
Plain,  the  Jordan  Valley,  Jerusalem 
and  the  Judean  Hills. 

Always  we  see  what  the  land  mean.' 
to  the  people,  and  how  the  peopk 
have  cukivatetl  the  land  for  bettei 
living.  Photographs  for  the  picture 
were  taken  in  Israel  today,  so  we  s<( 
things  as  they  actually  are  now.  Tlit 
facts  are  well  presented  and  the  ma

French  For  Young  Americans  and 
Elementary  Spanish  For  Young  Amer-

$35.10  for  complete  set;  $8  for  single 
strip  and  record;  $13  for  two  filmstrips 
and  record ) .  Each  of  these  sets  is  in- 
tended for  elementary  language  study 
in  grades  3  through  6.  In  each  in- 
stance the  student  is  introduced  to 
French  or  Sj^anish  boys  and  girls  as 
they  go  about  their  daily  activities  in 
the  school,  at  home,  with  their  fami- 
lies and  at  play  after  school.  The 
scenes  and  objects  presented  are  fa- 
miliar, and  the  situations  portrayed  are 
part  of  normal  living  in  any  country. 
This  helps  to  give  meaning  to  the 
language  itself  and  makes  it  seem 
normal  and  natiu-al.  Opportunity  is 
provided  for  repetition,  for  questioning 
and  for  conversation.  The  work  is  di- 
vided into  sections  for  class  use  and 
can  be  adapted  to  many  lessons.  The 
approach  to  the  language  in  each  in- 
stance is  by  easy  steps  and  vocabulary 
is  increased  as  the  story  proceeds.  The 
material  is  geared  to  introductory 
language  study  and  arranged  in  terms 
of  elementary  pupil  abilities.

cused on  the  use  of  instant  nonfat  dry 
milk  crystals  in  cooking.  Some  of  the 
recipes  are  for  adult  family  parties, 
and  the  strip  might  well  be  recom- 
mended for  clubs  and  community 
groups  as  well  as  for  school  classes. 

Teaching  Science  In  The  Elemen- 
tary School  (4  filmstrips,  color,  each 
with  record  and  guide;  produced  by 
Lomg  Filmslide  Service,  7505  Fair- 
mount  Ave.,  El  Cerrito,  Calif.;  $16.50 
for  filmstrip,  record  and  guide).  This 
is  a  series  intended  for  in-service 
teacher  education  and  also  good  for 
class  use.  The  four  units  are  "The 
World  Is  So  Full  of  A  Number  of 
Things,"  "All  About  Milk,"  "Science 
in  Our  Daily  Bread,"  "Science  in  the 
Magic  Story  of  Water." 

Here  are  basic,  simple  science  sto- 
ries, brought  down  to  the  level  of  the 
young  scientists  who  are  beginning  to 
look  at  the  world  around  them  and  to 
cjuestion  and  experiment.  Suggestions 
are  made  for  teacher  direction  of  the 
study  trips  and  experiments;  simple 
science  problems  are  outlined,  and 
pupils  are  shown  at  work  carrying 
out  simple  projects.  The  picture  se- 
quences have  pupil  interest  appeal, 
and  they  also  serve  to  give  a  teacher 
some  good  ideas  on  motivating  pupils 
to  further  science  study  and  work.  The 
series  is  well  planned  and  well  pre- 
sented. 

The  Color  Of  Man  (single  strip, 
color;  produced  by  Pyramid  Film 
Producers,  1636  No.  Sierra  Bonita 
Ave.,  Hollywood  36,  Calif.;  $6  single 
strip.)  The  filmstrip  is  based  on  a 
motion  picture  of  the  same  name,  but 
does  not  need  to  be  used  with  the 
film,  for  it  is  a  complete  unit  in  and  of 
itself. 

Basically,  of  course,  the  story  is 
that  of  the  problems  presented  by 
prejudice  and  discrimination  based  on 
the  color  of  a  man's  skin.  Consider- 
able attention  is  focused  on  scientific 
theories  relating  to  skin  pigmentation; 
facts  are  presented  about  laws  per- 
taining to  segregation  and  integra- 
tion. The  presentation  is  straightfor- 
ward, simple  and  thought-provoking. 
The  subject  area  is  a  hard  one  to  deal 
with,  but  this  particular  filmstrip 
could  be  used  to  assist  in  discussion 
of  the  problem  with  classes,  in  church, 
in  community  group  meetings  and  in 
college  workshops.  Study  guides  are 
available  to  assist  in  presenting  the 
material  at  the  various  group  levels.

Poland:  Land  Under 
Communism 

(Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  Inc., 
1150  Wihnette  Avenue,  Wilmette,  Illi- 
nois) 22  minutes,  sound,  color  and 
black  and  white,  1960.  $240  and 
$120.  Teachers  guide  available. 

Description 

Thu  struggle  of  the  Polish  people  in 
their  search  for  national  identity  in  a 
communist  society  is  depicted  in 
Poland:  Land  Under  Communism. 
Through  the  eyes  of  two  families- 
one  representing  the  agrarian  way  of 
life  and  the  other  symbolizing  the 
new  industrial  order— come  revealing 
glimpses  of  the  past  and  present  of 
this  proud  but  oft-dismembered  na- 
tion. 

Scenes  of  a  contemporary  peasant 
fLunily  serve  to  link  the  past  with  the 
present,  recalling  Poland's  former 
grandeur,  the  years  of  oppression  and 
devastation  and  the  ever-present  prob- 
lem of  survival  for  the  peasant  faced 
with  the  threat  of  collectivization.  In 
the  classroom  young  Poles  learn  a 
significant  geographical  generalization 
reinforced  by  historical  record:  with 
no  natural  boundaries  on  either  the 
east  or  the  west,  the  very  existence 
and  disposition  of  Polish  boundaries 
during  the  past  two  hundred  years 
have  been  dependent  upon  the  goals 
and  policies  of  non-Polish  govern- 
ments. 

A  painting  of  a  Polish  king,  Stephen 
Batory  is  a  reminder  that  this  16th 
century  monarch  elected  by  the  Polish 
Sejm  or  parliament  invaded  Russian 
domains  as  far  as  Pskoff,  compelling 
the  Russian  Czar  Ivan  IV  to  sign  the 
humiliating  Treaty  of  Zapolsk.  The 
career  of  Batory,  termed  the  "fore- 
most warrior  of  hLs  time,"  suggests  the 
intense  and  almost  religious  spirit  of 
nationalism  which  has  enabled  the 
Poles  to  cling  tenaciously  to  their  na- 
tive language,  religion  and  culture 
through  generations  of  foreign  sub- 
jugation. 

In  spite  of  their  domination  by  an 
anti-religious  political  creed,  the  Po- 
lish people  have  maintained  their  de- 
votion to  the  Roman  Catholic  faith.  In 
this  connection  it  is  interesting  to  re- 
member that  the  Poles  have  tradition- 


ally regarded  themselves  as  the  guard- 
ian of  Latin  Christianity  and  the  out- 
jwst  of  western  culture  against  eastern 
invaders  from  the  time  of  the  Polish 
victory  over  the  invading  Tatars  in 
1241  to  the  moment  of  Pilsudski's  re- 
pulse of  Russian  Bolsheviks  at  the 
gates  of  Warsaw  in  1920  in  what  has 
been  called  the  "miracle  on  the 
Vistula." 

Yet  in  a  Poland  where  the  present 
economy  and  disputed  political  fron- 
tiers depend  on  the  Soviet  Union  there 
are  the  inevitable  characteristics  of  an 
authoritarian  state.  Trips  of  children 
to  a  "Lenin  House  of  Culture"  and  the 
presence  of  a  state-owned  newspaper 
are  familiar  aspects  in  the  daily  rou- 
tine of  a  steelworker's  family. 

Views  of  Poland's  industrial  enter- 
prises reflect  the  serious  concern  of 
l^arty  leaders  in  the  rapid  economic 
growth  in  heavy  industry  with  rela- 
tively little  production  of  consumer 
goods.  However,  in  contrast  with  mod- 
ern Silcsian  coal  mines  and  the  bus- 
tling harbor  of  Gdynia,  almost  half 
the  population  still  remains  on  the 
land,  struggling  unsuccessfully  to  feed 
the  other  half— so  it  appears— with  an 
inferior  farm  technology.  The  agri- 
cultural problem  has  not  been  allevi- 
ated, as  the  film  emphasizes,  by  the 
reluctance  of  the  peasants  to  embrace 
communist  economic  theories.  Retain- 
ing their  individual  plots  of  land,  the 
peasants  have  stubbornly  resisted  at- 
tempts at  collectivization  and  have  re- 
mained suspicious  of  the  government. 

The  proposition  that  Communist 
efforts  to  regiment  the  Polish  intellec- 


tual community  have  failed  appears 
to  find  some  justification  in  this  rec- 
ord. Some  signs  of  an  incipient  intel- 
lectual freedom  in  universities  are  re- 
ported. Polish  students  are  also  por- 
trayed as  generally  enamored  of  west- 
ern ideas  and  innovations  including 
jazz  and  novels— a  reaction  in  part 
against  the  cultural  isolation  of  the 
Stalinist  period. 

Appraisal 

Notwithstanding  the  nature  of  its 
subject  matter,  this  survey  of  contem- 
porary Polish  life  and  commentary  on 
historical  influences  strives  for  ob- 
jectivity, avoiding  the  all  too  familiar 
pedagogical  excess  of  exhortation  and 
denunciation  in  developing  attitudes 
about  communism.  Although  the  gains 
in  economic  growth  under  Commu- 
nism are  acknowledged,  it  is  made 
clear  that  advances  were  secured  at  a 
great  cost  in  human  suffering. 

The  limitations  of  this  film  stem 
chiefly  from  the  brevity  inherent  in 
any  attempt  to  survey  a  complex  prob- 
lem. This  is  evident  in  the  absence  of 
any  critical  inquiry  concerning  the 
political  and  ethnic  problems  which 
shaped  Polish  history  and  the  failure 
to  consider  carefully  the  impact  of 
social  and  technological  change  upon 
Polish  institutions  and  values.  More- 
over, in  spite  of  the  persistent  theme 
of  a  resurgent  Polish  nationalism 
holding  in  check  the  advocates  of  for- 
mal Communist  doctrine,  there  is,  sur- 
prisingly, no  effort  to  account  for  the 
success  of  the  peaceful  Polish  "revolu-

The  greatest  educative  value  of 
I'olaiid:  Land  Under  Communism  in 
the  hands  of  the  secondary  school 
social  studies  teacher  lies  not  merely  in 
its  ability  to  impart  factual  information 
but  rather  in  its  use  as  an  instrument 
of  reflective  thinking,  in  posing  ques- 
tions about  such  crucial  issues  as  co- 
existence, the  nature  of  economic 
goals,  factors  in  ix;on<miic  growth  and 
the  impact  of  cultural  change.  Tech- 
nically above  criticism,  this  produc-

Description 

Universe  is  a  profound  treatment  of 
man's  position  in  the  cosmos  and  of 
his  efforts  to  learn  more  about  the 
vast  universe  of  which  he  is  a  part. 
As  the  sun  rises  over  an  earthly  city 
and  the  people  go  about  their  respec- 
tive tasks,  life's  dependence  upon  the 
outpourings  of  energy  from  the  solar 
furnace  is  revealed.  If,  as  the  narrator 
points  out,  the  Milky  Way  could  be 
viewed  from  afar,  the  earth  would  be 
seen  as  one  of  nine  known  planets 
whirling  about  the  sun,  one  star  among 
the  millions  of  stars  in  the  galaxy. 

Dr.  Donald  A.  MacRae  of  the 
David  Dunlop  Observatory  is  pictured 
setting  up  the  reflector  telescope  to 
photograph  stars  in  an  efiFort  to  learn 
more  about  the  universe  and  the 
bodies  therein.  From  the  .study  of 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  such  obser- 
vations astronomers  have,  within  com- 
paratively recent  times,  begun  to  piece 
together  an  accurate  picture  of  the 
universe.  Already  enough  is  known  for 
man  to  journey  in  imagination  to  sorne 
of  the  bodies  nearest  our  earth  in 
space. 

The  closest  of  the  interplanetary 
btxlies  to  our  earth  is  tlie  moon.  Close- 
ups  of  the  moon's  surface  as  seen 
through  the  eyes  of  our  best  telescopes 
are  pictured.  These  reveal  a  stark, 
rugged,  lifeless  expanse.  Man  could 
not  exist  unprotected  on  the  moon  for 
even  a  few  seconds.  With  no  atmos- 
phere to  temper  the  withering  out- 
pourings from  the  sun,  temperatures 
by  day  reach  that  of  boiling  water,  by 
night  a  chilling  240°  below  zero.

'Uni 


The  moon  whirls  eternally  about  its 
master  the  earth.  The  earth  in  turn  is 
dominated  by  the  sim  which  Ls  at  the 
center  of  the  nine  known  planets. 

The  planet  Mercury  is  depicted  as 
closest  to  the  sun.  Mercury  keeps  one 
face  always  toward  its  master.  Being 
so  close  to  the  sun  and  too  small  to 
hold  an  atmosphere,  conditions  are 
too  harsh  for  life  on  this  barren  planet. 

Further  out  is  the  planet  Venus, 
eternally  shrouded  in  a  den.se  cloud. 
Even  though  it  is  our  nearest  plane- 
tary neighbor,  Venus  is  one  of  the 
least  known. 

Our  earth  is  located  between  Venus 
and  Mars.  For  more  than  a  century 
man  has  looked  toward  Mars,  the  red 
planet,  and  wondered  whether  he  is 
alone  in  space. 

The  alternating  green  and  red 
which  change  with  the  Martian  sea- 
sons would  indicate  the  probable  pres- 
ence of  vegetation.  Whether  other 
life  exists  is  not  known  but,  because 
of  the  lack  of  oxygen  and  water,  it  is 
certain  that  no  creature  such  as  man 
could  exist  there. 

Beyond  Mars,  where  theoretically 
there  should  be  another  planet,  as- 
tronomers have  found  hundreds  of 
rocky  fragments.  These  range  in  size 
from  that  of  a  pea  to  one  of  more 
than  .300  miles  in  diameter. 

The  huge  planet  Jupiter  is  shown 
next.  It  is  larger  than  all  the  other 
planets  combined.  In  keeping  with  its 
size,  it  dominates  12  moons.  No 
human  could  live  there  however,  be- 
cause of  the  cold  and  the  composition 
and  great  density  of  the  atmosphere. 

Beyond  Uranus  and  Neptune  is  the 
last  of  the  known  planets,  Pluto.  So 
far  is  Pluto  from  the  sun,  more  than  4 


billion  miles,  that  the  sun  appears  as 
a  mere  star,  one  among  many.  Nothing 
exists  in  the  perpetual  cold  and  dark- 
ness of  Pluto. 

Another  member  of  the  Sun's  family 
which  is  pictured  is  the  comet.  It  is 
a  nebulous  aggregate  of  dust  and 
gases  which  l^ecome  luminescent  as  it 
approaches  the  sun.  Often  a  filmy  tail 
a  million  miles  long  is  forced  from  it 
by  pressure  of  the  sunlight. 

The  center  of  the  solar  system,  tlie 
sun,  is  depicted  as  a  thermo-nuclear 
furnace  which  has  raged  with  the 
energy  of  1  million  H-bombs  per  sec- 
ond for  more  than  five  billion  years.  A 
planet  too  close  or  too  far  away  from 
this  source  of  energy  would  be  devoid 
of  life.  The  earth  at  93  million  miles 
is  ideally  situated. 

A  montage  representing  life  on  earth 
is  shown  as  the  scene  shifts  to  the 
observatory  where  the  narrator  ex- 
plains the  procedure  for  locating  and 
training  the  telescope  on  a  particular 
star  in  the  heavens.  It  is  not  a  porbait 
of  the  star  which  is  desired,  but  a 
photograph  of  the  spectrum  of  the 
star.  Such  photographs  and  other  data 
are  studied  to  learn  the  composition, 
movement,  size,  temperature,  etc.,  of 
stars,  because  nothing  can  be  learned 
of  a  star  directly. 

As  the  audience  is  taken  on  an 
imaginary  journey  to  the  stars,  many 
differences  are  pointed  out  among 
those  stars  in  the  Milky  Way.  Some, 
as  Beta  in  the  Constellation  Lyra,  have 
another  star  circling  them.  These  we 
call  twins.  There  are  multiple  stars, 
such  as  Castor  in  Gemini.  There  are 
giants  many  times  the  size  of  the  sun, 
and  dwarfs  where  one  cubic  inch  of 
matter  would  weigh  40  tons.  In  addi-

ndiana  University,  Bloomington,  Ind. 


Jon  there  are  stars  rotating  at  such  a 
•ate  as  to  throw  off  huge  rings  of  mat- 
er which  move  outward  in  an  ever 
ividening  circle.  Pulsating  stars  are 
pictured  increasing  and  decreasing  in 
srilliance.  There  are  rare  stars  where 
emperatures  reach  5  billion  degrees 
•esulting  in  an  explosion  to  form  a 
novae"  or  "super  novae."  The  Crab 
Nebulae  in  the  constellation  Taurus  is 
the  remnant  of  such  an  explosion 
which  occurred  more  than  ten  cen- 
turies ago. 

In  addition  to  stars  and  such  satel- 
lites of  these  as  may  exist,  there  is 
much  dust  and  gas  in  interstellar 
space.  The  stars,  dust  and  gases  were 
thought  until  recently  to  be  a  chaotic 
aggregation.  However,  years  of  pa- 
tient work  have  revealed  that  a  pat- 
tern really  exists. 

If  man  could  move  with  the  free- 
dom of  a  god  and  were  to  go  beyond 
our  own  galaxy,  the  Milky  Way,  he 
would  come  to  the  edge  of  an  endless 
sea  filled  with  islands  of  stars  called 
galaxies.  Many  types  of  galaxies  are  to 
be  foimd,  floating  eternally  in  space. 
It  is  here  that  stars  are  formed  from 
dust  and  gasses  of  interstellar  space, 
here  too  that  stars  consume  them- 
selves. How  many  of  the  billions  of 
stars  must  have  planets  as  ideally  suit- 
ed for  life  as  our  own? 

As  the  narrator  indicates,  when  man 
l(x)ks  this  deeply  into  space  he  sees 
only  a  ghosdy  image  of  the  past.  The 
light  which  is  seen  began  moving 
toward  us  millions  of  years  ago,  long 
before  the  dawn  of  life  on  earth.  "In 
all  of  time,"  says  the  narrator,  "of  all 
the  planets,  of  all  the  galaxies  in  space, 
what  civilizations  have  arisen,  looked 
into  the  night,  seen  what  we  see,  ask- 
ed the  questions  that  we  ask?" 

The  film  ends  with  the  sunrise.  The 
work  of  the  astronomer  is  ended  and 
another  day  begins  on  the  earth,  oiu" 
tiny  island  in  the  vast  Universe. 

Appraisal 

Both  the  junior  and  senior  high 
school  teacher  will  find  Universe  to  be 
an  excellent  medium  for  the  intro- 
duction or  summation  of  a  unit  on 
astronomy.  The  film  is  akso  well  suited 
for  use  in  presenting  basic  information 
on  the  solar  system.  The  college  per- 
sonnel on  the  previewing  committee 
felt  that  the  film  might  also  be  used  in 
introducing  a  lx;ginning  undergraduate 
coiu-se  in  astronomy. 


The  first  half  of  the  production 
gives  an  excellent  overview  of  the 
members  of  the  solar  system  and  pre- 
sents much  basic  information  concern- 
ing these  bodies.  The  second  half 
delves  into  the  realm  of  the  stars, 
presenting  a  summation  of  what  man 
has  learned  about  the  stars  and  star 
systems. 

The  many  areas  touched  upon  con- 
tribute to  the  usefulness  of  the  film  as 
a  device  to  motivate  further  study  and 
discussion  on  the  part  of  students.  The 
treatment  is  such  as  to  provoke  deep 
thought  and  a  feeling  of  awe  toward 
the  humble  place  of  man  in  the 
cosmos.

Description 

Conserving  Our  Forests  Today 
highlights  not  only  the  varied,  inter- 
rehited  uses  that  America's  timber- 
lands  must  serve,  but  also  points  out 
the  role  of  the  citizen  and  the  forester 
in  maintaining  this  resource. 

The  variety  of  products  supplied  by 


trees  are  shown  to  include  not  only 
lumber  but  a  host  of  pul]!  products 
ranging  from  paper  to  motion  pictine 
film  and  synthetic  textiles.  Other  bene- 
fits that  are  pictured  include  use  of 
western  forest  areas  for  livestock  graz- 
ing, the  function  of  forests  in  creation 
of  a  good  watershed  to  provide  ade- 
quate water  for  domestic  and  com- 
mercial uses,  and  the  recreational 
benefits  found  in  well  maintained  na- 
tional and  state  forests. 

With  principal  emphasis  placed 
upon  Pacific  Coast  and  Southern 
forests,  the  comparative  growing  rates 
of  the  Douglas  fir  in  the  west  and  the 
Southern   pine    are    graphically    illus-

trated.  While  the  Douglas  takes  nearly 
12.5  years  to  mature,  the  Southern  pine 
matures  to  commercial  size  in  30  years. 
The  growth  comparison  is  emphasized 
as  a  young  boy  of  two  stands  beside 
a  two-year-old  pine  seedling  and  then 
is  shown  along  side  it  at  various  inter- 
vals until  both  are  .30.  The  role  of 
hardwocKl  trees  is  also  indicated  as  is 
the  nei>d  for  careful  cutting  of  all 
trees  to  provide  for  sustained  yield. 

Modern  means  of  fighting  the 
forest's  enemy,  fire,  are  seen  to  in- 
clude fire  kK>kout  towers  and  fire 
fighting  crews  operating  from  trucks, 
parachuted  from  planes  or  landed  by 
helicopters.  The  other  enemies  of  trees 
are  insects,  disease  and  improper  log- 
ging. Aerial  spraying  plays  an  effec- 
tive role  against  insects  and  disease. 

Shown  in  detail  is  reforestation  us- 
ing seed  orchards  in  which  seed  are 
harvested  for  aerial  .seeding,  and  also 
the  raising  of  seedlings  for  tran.splant- 
ing  to  logged-  or  bumed-over  lands  is 
presented  in  detail. 

Appraisal 

For  intermediate  grade  and  lower 
junior  high  pupils.  Conserving  Our 
Fore.'its  Today  provides  a  concise 
overview  of  timber  conservation  and 
use  practices  in  two  primary  wot)d 
pr(Klucts  regions  of  the  United  States. 
What  is  said  of  these  regions  is  also 
applicable  to  other  areas  of  the  United 
States  with  only  minor  modifications. 

At  both  age  levels  the  film  could 
he  used  to  introduce  or  organize  a 
unit  on  forest  lands  since  it  provides 
many  avenues  for  further  exploration 
and  questioning  by  pupils.  These  in- 
clude: "Are  recommended  forest-land 
grazing  practices  the  same  throughout 
the  nation?"  and  "What  is  the  differ- 
ence in  utilization  practices  between 
the  slow  growing  western  trees  and 
those  that  mature  more  rapidly  in  the 
South?"  These  are  two  points  that  the 
teacher  can  use  to  develop  new  con- 
cepts with  her  pupils  and  prevent  for- 
mation of  erroneous  ones  from  thi 
film's  too-simplified  statements. 

Quickly  covering  so  much  material 
in  a  seemingly  unhurried  manner,  tht 
film's  excellent  development  and  or- 
ganization is  apparent.  Simple  effect.'- 
like  the  growth  comparisons  between 
the  boy  and  the  tree  and  numerou.^ 
views  of  children  of  the  audience'? 
ages  enjoying  the  forest  areas  woulci 
contribute  to  a  sense  of  personal  iden- 
tification by  the  pupils  seeing  the  filn 
and  are  practices  to  be  commendei 
in  films  whose  object  is  to  motivati 
the  interest  required  of  citizens  it 
developinent  of  intelligent  concert 
about  use  of  tiatural  resoiu-ces.

THE     AMERICAN     REVOLUTION    through   its   Songs   and   Ballads 
(HL   502) 

This   opinion    is   shared    by   every   critic   who   has   reviewed    them    to   date    in    both    the 
lay  and  educational  press — from   Downbeat  to  Audio  Cardclog.

New  England's  farming,  fishing,  troding,

and  supported  by  a  rousing  mole  chorus 
and    the    50    great    drums    and    shrill    fifes    of 

the  famous  MATTATUCK  DRUM  BAND. 
Both  records  ore  complete  with  teacher  notes  and  a  well  illustrated  pamphlet  for

graphic hints  and  aids,  international 
tape  exchange,  tachistoscopic  train- 
ing, television  in  education  and  many
