W .  E.  Berube,  Audio-Visual  Department  Director,  ijispects  film  in  new  Filmosound  projector.  The  depai  Intent  library  now  contains  200  movie  films  and  800  film  strips. 

Pawtucket  Schools  Score  10  Year  Film  Program  Success 


B&H  Filmosounds  play  basic  role.  The  Pawtucket  (R.I.) 
Schools'  fihii  program  has  been  a  success  right  from  the 
start  ten  years  ago.  Today  the  city's  schools  use  twenty 
16mm  sound  projectors  for  the  three-thousand-odd  class- 
room showings  every  year.  And  the  program  is  continu- 
ally expanding! 
Here's  what  W.  E.  Berube.  Director  of  the  Audio -Visual 


Department,  has  to  say  about  his  experience  with  Filmo- 
sound projectors: 

"No  small  factor  in  the  success  of  our  film  program  is 
the  dependability  of  Bell  &  Howell  Filmosound  projec- 
tion. This  equipment  is  ruggedly  built,  quiet  and  depend- 
able in  operation.  Filmosounds  have  proved  themselves 
in  the  varied  and  hard  use  we  have  put  them  to." 


The  modern  equipment  at  the  disposal  of  this  efficient  staff  assures 
the  continued  success  of  Pawtucket's  Audio-Visual  program. 

16mm  Single-Case  Filmosound.  For  classroom  or  auditorium, 
for  sound  or  silent  fihiis.  Will  reverse  or  show  still  pictures. 
Completely  contained  in  a  single  case.  Built-in  6-inch  speaker 
operates  within  the  case  or  removed  from  it.  Larger,  separate 
speakers  available  for  single  or  multiple  use.  Brilliant  lifelike 
motion  pictures,  natural  flutterless  sound. 

Guoronteed  for  life.  During  life  of  product,  any  defects  in  workman 
ship  or  material  will  be  remedied  free   (except  transportation).

HELL-BENT  FOR  TELEVISION 

THIS  EDITORIAL  would  ordi- 
narily be  devoted  to  a  word  of 
greeting  to  our  many  thousands  of 
school  readers  to  whom  we  dedicate 
this  annual  Fall  Inventory  of  recent- 
ly-produced classroom  materials.  Suf- 
Ih  r  it  to  say  that  once  again  we  are 
proud  to  bring  you  these  many  special 
pages  of  classified  data  on  the  films 
and  filmstrips  especially  produced  for 
the  curriculum  and  representative  »f 
the  greatly-increased  total  resources 
of  such  tools  now  available. 

Our  immediate  concern  is  with  the 
nationwide  campaign  aimed  to  con- 
vince official  Washington  and  nianv 
state  legislatures  that  this  is  the  TIME 
for  the  miracle  of  Educational  Tele- 
vision to  come  to  pass.  One  small  voice 
has  recently  been  added  to  this  clam- 
orous outcry.  It  says,  in  a  recent 
editorial,  "we  believe  positively  and 
enthusiastically  that  television  educa- 
tion is  audio-visual  education  ..." 
This  oracle  also  believes  "that  audio- 
visual plans  and  budgets  that  include 
television  will  prevent  television 
budgets   that   eliminate    audio-visual." 

Now  let's  look  to  the  facts:  (1)  in 
New  York  State,  from  whence  this 
oracle  speaks,  the  state  legislature  is 
said  to  be  approving  a  million  dollar 
budget  for  a  statewide  educational  t.v. 
network.  (2)  There  isn't  one  dime  in 
this  budget  for  anything  but  expensive 
t.v.  equipment.  The  University  of  Iowa 
is  also  currently  asking  the  Iowa  legis- 
lature for  the  same  kind  of  budget. 
Neither  one  of  these  states  have  done 
anything  yet  about  their  poorly 
equipped  classrooms.  New  York,  in 
particular,  has  the  saddest  record  of 
all  with  respect  to  per-capita  pupil 
ex|)enditures    for    a-v    tools. 

(3)    There    is    one   existing   educa- 


tional television  station  to  which  we 
can  look  for  comparative  data. 
\\  OI-TV.  owned  and  operated  by  Iowa 
Slate  College,  is  the  pioneer  educa- 
tional televiser  of  the  nation.  For  ten 
or  eleven  hours  each  day,  this  station 
purveys  regular  commercial  network 
fare  and  nine-tenths  of  its  time  is  de- 
voted to  such  "purposeful  and  mean- 
ingful visual  images"  as  Ed  Sullivan. 
Tom  Corbett.  Space  Cadet.  Susan 
Peters  fsoap  opera).  Milton  Berle. 
Kate  Smith.  Gabby  Hayes,  Arthur 
Godfrey,  and  the  Cisco  Kid. 

We  think  that  educational  t.v.  has 
potentialities.  So  did  classroom  radio. 
But  we  think  that  its  cost  and  its  char- 
acteristics demand  the  searching  light 
of  wholesome  inquiry.  We  think  that 
we  should  continue  to  go  before  state 
legislatures  with  first  thinf;s  first.  We 
don't  see  clearly  the  classroom  possi- 
bilities of  t.v..  for  example.  We  don't 
agree  that  our  school  systems  can  get 
money  for  every  harebrained  scheme 
which  visionaries  propose.  The  U.  S.  is 
short  of  teachers,  short  of  buildings, 
and  it  is  tragically  short  of  classroom 
application  of  the  existing  audio-visual 
tools  which  were  designed  for  the 
completely  democratic  teaching  sys- 
tems of  our  schools. 

An  assembly  hall  setup  for  projected 
television  would  provide  for  the  imme- 
diacy of  interest  of  such  events  as  the 
recent  Japanese  treaty  signing  or  a 
presidential  inauguration.  But  heaven 
help  a  L^.  S.  system  of  education  which 
would  put  t.v.  receivers  into  our  class- 
rooms for  mass  "education"  by  the 
demagogues  who  might  control  them. 

Now  that's  pure  speculation,  of 
course,  but  we're  going  to  speculate 
and  examine  every  fragment  of  this 
educational  t.v.  campaign  until  the 
facts  are  clearly  understood.  Mean- 
while we  propose  that  the  more 
thoughtful  segment  of  U.  S.  audio- 
\  isual  leadership  stick  to  our  urgent 
and  immediate  need  for  unity  on  state- 
wide audio-visual  budgets  for  class- 
room materials.  They  come  first — OHC

E  B  Films  Takes  Over  Instructional  Films 
Library;  Will  Continue  as  Separate  Group 

■¥  Aniiouncemeiit  by  Em  Nclnpaedia  Britannica  Films  that 
il  has  acquired  the  assets  of  Instructional  Fihns,  Inc.,  fol- 
lows the  news  of  EBFilins'  purchase  of  Films  Incorporated, 
original  parent  company  of  Instructional. 

The  acquisition  of  the  two  corporations,  said  Walter 
Colnies.  president  of  EBFilnis,  is  part  of  an  expansion 
Ijrograni  to  "provide  efficient,  dependable  and  extensive 
distribution  of  the  best  audio-visual  materials  in  a  maniipr 
impossible  in   the  past.  " 

Instructional  Films.  Inc..  has  been  reorganized  by 
EBFilms  to  become  the  distribution  agency  for  educational 
motion  pictures  made  by  independent  producers  needing 
the  services  of  a  complete  sales  organization. 

The  25  productions  now  in  the  Instructional  Films 
liiirary  will  be  taken  over  by  EBFilms  as  the  company 
becomes  a  whollv  owned  subsidiary.  The  parent  compain 
begins  distributing  these  films  at  once,  and  other  produc- 
tions made  by  independent  producers  will  be  added  to  the 
Instructional  Films  library. 

Instructional  Films,  retaining  its  own  corporate  entity, 
will  issue  its  own  catalog  and  will  distribute  through  its 
own  staff  as  well  as  through  the  EBFilms  sales  organiza- 
tion, but  Instructional's  headquarters  has  been  moved  from 
New   York   to   EBFilms'   national   office   at  Wilmette,    III. 

School  officials  long  have  recognized  the  need  of  a 
■"showcase"  and  distribution  agency  for  the  independent 
producer,  and  feel  that  many  quality  productions  do  not 
reach  their  attention  because  the  smaller  studios  do  not 
have  the  physical  means  to  provide  distribution  and  pre- 
view prints  or  to  give  such  services  as  replacement  footage 
and  teachers'  guides.  Mr.  Colmes  said.  These  services  will 
be  provided  by  Instructional  Films  as  reorganized,  he 
added. 

Instructional's  library  contains  motion  picture  films 
on  such  topics  as  conservation,  geography,  communica- 
tions, and  science,  filmstrips  on  many  of  these  subjects, 
also  geo-historic  map  slides  and  recordings  on  democracy 
and  current  events.  The  area  of  materials  coverage  will 
be  widened  as  quality  materials  are  found.  Mr.  Colmes 
said. 

New  Simmel-Meservey  Distribution  Outlet 

"K  Instructional  Films.  Inc..  Encyclopaedia  Britannica 
Films'  newly  acquired  subsidiary,  has  acquired  distribu- 
tion rights  to  the  forty-four  16mm  educational  motion 
pictures  produced  by  Simmel-Meservey  Films,  and  new 
school  films  of  the  producer  will  be  added  to  the  Instruc- 
tional Films  catalog  as  they  are  made.  The  announcemeni 
was  made  by  Walter  Colmes,  president  of  EBFilms.  and 
Louis  C.  Simmel.  head  of  the  Simmel-Meservey  organiza- 
tion. 

Instructional  and  its  original  parent  compan\.  Film~ 
Incorporated,  have  both  been  purchased  by  EBFilms. 

Simmel-Meservey,  which  now  will  concentrate  entirely 
upon  planning  and  making  films,  is  a  leading  producer 
of  classroom  motion  jiiclures.  among  them  Dinner  Parly. 
Junior  From,  ff  heat:  the  Staff  of  Life,  Monarch  Butler jly. 
Guatemala  Story,  Historic  New  England,  Land  of  the 
Incas,  Introducing  Britain,  Obligations,  and  Modern 
Mexico.  Simmel  founded  the  companv  in  the  early  1940s 
to  produce  teaching  films  and  will  continue  to  make  educa- 
tional  films   for   classroom   and   communitv.

With   the   introduction   of   this   complete   and   versatile  new 
line  at  the  Xalimial   .Audio-Visual  Convention  on  July  28th 
in  the  Hotel  Sherman,  Cihicago,  TDC  sets  new  standards 
of  value  for  the  audio  visual  dollar — at  every  level  of  the 
educational   field! 

The  single-frame   models  feature  f;lass  pressure  plates. 
These   maj;nilicent   projeclors   are   unique   in   that   they  offer 
brilliant   illumination,  completely  simple  operation — all 
at  prices  that  make  them   the  greatest  value  on  the  market! 

All-purpose   models  are   fully   equipped    for  single-frame 
or  douhle-frame  filmstrip  and  2  \  2  slides.  They  feature 
the   exclusive   TDC   mechanism   that   completely   solves   the 
problem  of  film  protection.  It  is  impossible  for  anything 
to  touch  the  [litture  area  while  the  film  is  mo\'ing — yet 
the  film  is  firmly  held  between  glass   pressure  plates 
during  projection.

Educational    Film    Library    Association 
Holds  Eighth  Annual  Meeting  at  Chicago 

"K  Delegates  from  36  states,  Canada  and  Puerto  Rico  were 
in  attendance  when  Dr.  Arthur  Moehlman  of  the  University 
of  Iowa,  using  a  Vu-Graph  projector,  began  developing 
his  subject,  "Human  Fission  More  Dangerous  Than  Atomic 
Fission,"  at  the  session  signalizing  the  opening  of  tlie 
eighth  annual  conference  of  the  Educational  Film  Library 
Association,  leading  off  the  National  Audio-Visual  Conven- 
tion in  Chicago,  on  Thursday,  July  26,  at  the  Hotel 
Sherman. 

With  the  challenging  theme  of  "Resolving  Conflicts 
Through  Effective  Conununication."  the  EFLA  divided 
most  of  its  second  day  operations  into  eight  sectional 
meetings  in  order  to  permit  as  much  discussion  as  possible 
on  the  many  topics  before  the  Conference. 

Sectional   Meetings   Prove  Hif:hly    Informative 

Among  the  subjects  thus  taken  up  were  educational  tele- 
vision, censorship,  programming,  film  librarv  mechanics, 
and  film  utilization,  and  the  sectional  sessions  lived  up  to 
the  high  plane  of  informational  discussion  set  at  previous 
annual  gatherings.  The  association's  stand  on  censorship, 
incidentally,  was  indorsed  by  resolution  at  the  business 
meeting. 

A  panel  of  five  producers  and  eight  users  of  films 
answered  questions  from  the  floor  that  had  arisen  among 
the  groups  at  a  session  conducted  by  Elizabeth  Golterman 
of  the  St.  Louis  Public  Schools.  Replacement  footage,  com- 
munity acceptance  of  films  and  sliding  price  scales  were 
clarified. 

At  the  general  session  on  the  second  day   Dr.   Harold 


Lasswell  of  Yale  University  traced  the  development — and 
shortcomings — of  communication  in  world  affairs. 

Establishment  of  a  production  code  to  guide  the  makers 
of  classroom  pictures  was  proposed  by  Walter  Colmes, 
president  of  Encyclopaedia  Brittannica  Films,  at  the  final 
session.  Mr.  Colmes'  subject  was  "The  Promise  of  Better 
Instructional  Films." 

Elect  Ford  Lemler  as  1951-52  President 

The  new  president  of  EFLA  is  Ford  Lemler.  who  directs 
the  audio-visual  aids  activities  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan. Mary  Huber  of  the  Enoch  Pratt  Free  Library,  Balti- 
more. Md.,  is  vice  president.  Edward  T.  Schofield.  retiring 
president,  was  named  secretary  and  reelected  to  the  directo- 
rate. Also  named  to  the  board  was  James  W.  Brown  of  the 
University  of  Washington. 

The  screening  of  new  films  for  classroom  and  general 
interest  was  on  the  agenda  each  evening  of  the  Conference, 
with  grouping  of  materials  in  the  three  categories  of  films 
for  children,  for  high  school  and  college,  and  for  adults. 
Dr.  Walter  A.  Wittich  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  was 
the  chairman  of  a  special  meeting  in  this  area.  A  highlight 
of  film  viewing  came  the  final  evening  when  the  world 
premiere  of  Williamsburg  Restored  was  given  for  tlie  Films 
for  Adults  session.  Films  from  the  production  departments 
of  the  Universities  of  Wisconsin,  California.  Indiana  and 
Wayne  were  represented  in  the  showings. 

Informal  gatherings  at  the  Conference  included  an  open- 
ing reception  and  "coffee  time"  interchanges  of  shop  talk. 

Co-chairmen  of  the  program  committee  were  Clyde 
Miller,  Director  of  Audiphone-Visual  Education,  Ohio 
Department  of  Education,  and  Charles  F.  Schuller,  Assist- 
ant Director.  Bureau  of  Visual  Instruction.  Lfniversity  of 
Wisconsin.   They  merit  credit  for  a  job  well  done.

for  the  start  of  the  new  semester.  These  latest  titles,  covering  many  important  subjects  and  a 
wide  range  of  grade  levels,  will  make  valuable  additions  to  your  film  library. 

Notice  that  Coronet  films  have  a  versatility  that  means  extra  value  to  you.  Each  title,  while 
designed  for  a  specific  academic  area,  can  be  used  with  equal  effectiveness  in  many  related 
courses.  Abraham  Lincoln:  A  Background  Study,  for  example,  will  show  history  students  how 
Lincoln's  actions  did  much  to  affect  the  political  climate  in  which  we  live  today.  Social  study 
classes  observe  the  environment  that  shaped  the  character  of  this  great  president.  Students  of 
literature  enrich  their  knowledge  of  the  period  in  which  Lincoln  lived. 

In  the  same  way,  you  effectively  use  every  Coronet  film  in  the  presentation  of  study  materials. 
Yes.  Coronet  versatility  means  you  get  the  most  from  your  film  budget  dollar.  And.  as  always,

Crowded  Buildings,  Teacher  Shortage 
Highlight  1951  School  Opening 
•k  The  six  and  one-half  liilliim  dollar 
atinuai  business  that  is  public  educa- 
tion began  its  new  year  this  fall  with 
more  than  twenty-three  million  pupils 
expected  to  be  in  dail\  attendance. 
Crowded  buildings  and  an  acute  teach- 
er shortage  are  the  aftermath  of  the 
postwar  birth  rate  climb. 

Dr.  Ray  C.  Maul,  research  associate 
for  the  NEA's  national  commission 
on  teacher  education,  estimates  that 
10.000  of  the  nation's  603.000  elemen- 
tary teachers  are  not  qualified  for 
their  jobs;  in  addition  80.000  new 
teachers  are  needed  with  only  30,000 
now  available.  The  picture  for 
audio-visual  materials  still  appears  to 
lack  a  national  policy.  Spotty  distribu- 
tion of  available  materials,  inadequate 
teacher  preparation,  and  lack  of  na- 
tionwide information  on  ayailable  tools 
are  frequently  cited  obstacles. 

Library  of  Conaress  Distributing 
Catalog  Cards  for  Films  and  Strips 
♦  The  Library  of  Congress  is  printing 
and  distributing  catalog  cards  for  mo- 
tion pictures  and  filmstrips.  expanding 
the  former  service  of  providing  cards 
for  books  and  other  library  materials 
i'nl\.  A  comprehensive  catalog  card 
cf)yerage  of  Government  films  is  to 
result  from  an  agreement  with  Office 
of  Education  under  which  the  Library 
will  print  entries  prepared  by  the 
Visual  Aids  Service  of  the  USOE. 
Cards  for  selected  current  copyrighted 
films  will  be  followed  by  cards  for 
current  noncopyrighted  films  and  older 
subjects   still  in   distribution. 

The  printed  card  is  standard  7.5  by 
12.5  mm.  on  100  per  cent  rag  paper, 
with  name  of  picture,  producer,  date  of 
release,  running  time,  size  of  film, 
notation  on  sound  and  color,  applicable 
credits,  summary  of  contents,  subjects 
covered,  grade  level  and  other  data. 
Standard  space  for  over-printing  or 
typing  subjects  or  other  headings  is 
reserved  at  the  top  of  the  card,  and 
there  is  space  on  the  left  margin  for 
location  notations. 

The  code  of  rules  for  the  new  catalog 
service  has  been  approved  bv  the 
American     Library     Association,     film 


associations  and  a-v  groups.  For  fur-

The  first  three  fihns.  October  re- 
leases, are  What's  It  All  About;  Your 
Plans;  and  Service  and  Citizenship, 
each  10  minutes  running  time.  The

period  of  service  provides  oppor- 
tunities for  schooling,  vocational  expe- 
rience, counseling,  and  practical  and 
theoretical  training.  In  the  third  film 
the  student  is  shown  what  citizenship 
is,  what  the  responsibilities  of  citizen- 
ship involve,  and  how  military  service 
protects  the  goals  of  freedom  and 
peace.

represented  in  its  opening  pages  and  the 
equally  large  number  of  both  filmstrip  and

Obviously,  some  excellent  titles  will  have 
been  overlooked  in  so  broad  a  summary 
of  current  materials  representing  so  many 
specializing  producers.  One  important  area 
represents  the  college  and  university  film 
productions  which  will  be  covered  in  the 
next  issue.  Another  omission  includes  the 
numerous  sponsored  films,  some  of  them 
excellent. 

The  main  purpose  of  this  inventory  is 
to  feature  those  films  especially  produced 
for  the  classroom.  Those  whose  main  busi- 
ness it  is  to  supply  that  need  are  given 
priority  as  to  space  and  completeness.  Fur- 
ther notes  and  additions  will  be  presented 
in    following    issues    during    the    fall.

Ampro  &  RCA  Magnetic  Projectors 
Use  New  Magnastripe  Process  Film 

♦  One  of  the  highlights  of  the  N.AV.\ 
Trade  Show  this  summer  was  the  intro- 
duction of  16mm  magnetic  sound-on- 
film  recorder-projectors  using  Magna- 
strif)e  processed  film  which,  by  means 
of  the  application  of  a  magnetic  ovide 
coating,  brings  new  advantages  to 
schools  in  instantaneous  magnetic  re- 
cording as  well  as  reproduction.  No 
laboratory  or  studio  facilities  are  re- 
quired. Both  the  .\mpro  Corp.  and 
RC.\  have  adopted  the  Magnastripe  on 
their  new  projectors. 

The  RC.\  equipment,  which  lists  at 
S800,  is  available  only  to  RC\  dealers 
at  first  but  will  shortly  be  in  supply 
for  consumers  also.  The  basic  com- 
ponent is  a  standard  high-quality 
16nxm  sound  projector  which  also  will 
reproduce  regular  optically  recorded 
sound.  There  is  an  electronic  erase 
head,  with  mechanical  provision  against 
accidental  erasure. 

For  recording  voice  or  music  one 
merely  turns  a  switch,  and  another 
control  permits  immediate  playback. 

Magnastripe.  new  product  of  the 
Reeves  Soundcraft  Corp.,  uses  a  pat- 
ented process  to  produce  a  strij>e  of 
magnetic  oxide  one-tenth  inch  wide  on 
the  base  side  of  any  single-sprocket 
standard  black  and  white  or  color 
sound  film.  The  striping  can  be  applied 
before  or  after  the  taking  of  the  pic- 
ture and  even  if  the  film  already  has 
an  optical  or  photographic  sound 
track.  A  frequency  range  of  80  to  7200 
cycles  is  provided.

Students  and  teachers  alike  can  save  up  to 
one  hour  a  day  — learning  is  retained  up  to 
35%  longer!  This  is  the  situation  in  schools 
where  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  are 
used.  And  no  wonder.  All  EBFilms  are 
educationally  superior.They  bear  the  stamp 
of  the  outstanding  authorities  who  helped

The  result  is  a  library  of  the  world's  most 
authentic  films— the  only  library  large 
enough  to  bring  you  not  just  a  single  film 
on  a  subject,  but  a  series  of  films.  Thus  with 
EBFilms  you  can  be  sure  of  a  far  more 
precise  correlation  with  your  curriculum.

for  outstanding  performance  .  . . 
the  KODASCOPE  PAGEANT  SOUND  PROJECTOR 

puts  your  16mm.  movies  on  the  screen  with 
sparkling  brilliance  — affords  high-fidelity  sound 
reproduction.  Simple  guided  threoding  ossures 
easy  operation.  Lubricated  for  life,  ruggedly 
built,  yet  light  and  compact,  the  entire  unit  goes 
into  one  hondsome  case  weighing  only  33 
pounds.  Price,  $400. 


Regardless  of  where  vou  show  vour  16mm.  sound  movies,  you  want  to 
be  sure  that  vour  audience  gets  the  message.  Sound  distortion,  resulting 
from  too  much  amplification  or  poor  acoustics,  annoys  listeners,  hence 
often  destrovs  the  effectiveness  of  the  presentation. 

To  help  vou  eliminate  these  difficulties,  Kodak  now  offers  a  new 
Multi-Speaker  Unit  which  combines  three  speakers  in  one  case.  With 
your  Kodascope  Pageant  Sound  Projector,  this  gives  you  a  versatile, 
four-speaker  setup.  Placed  at  selected  locations  around  a  room  or  hall, 
thev  produce  effecti\e  sound  distribution  even  under  adverse  acoustical 
conditions. 

Each  of  the  three  8"  speakers  is  mounted  on  an  individual  baffle.  One 
speaker  carries  a  35-ft.  cord,  the  other  two,  i^-ft.  cords,  complete  with 
connectors.  When  assembled,  the  3  speakers  make  up  into  a  compact 
carrving  case  weighing  onlv  1  7  pounds.  The  complete  unit  matches  the 
Pageant  exactlv  in  appearance  and  contains  space  for  a  2000-ff.  film  reel.

We  also  have  Mr.  Steetle"s  predirijon

bursting  through  the  schoolhouse  walls 
and  o\erflouing  into  millions  of  Amer-

The  overburdened  American  tax-

for  these  estimates  are  noi  ours  Imi 
belong  to  the  .ICET  which  sa\s  that 
station  costs  varv  from  construction 
estimates  of  .S106.000  to  .sKlO.OOO  each

nual o|)erating  budgets  run  from  %\i\.-

Hut  all  this  uoulil  l.i-  oiiK  -ill\ 
speculation  if  it  were  not  for  tlic  fad 
that  lioth  "educators'  and  legislalors 
were  in  deadly  earnest.  While  cbililrcn 
shi\er  in  temporarx  shelters  and  our 
teachers  struggle  lo  meet  today's  hills 
\\  itli  yesterday's  salary  schedules,  these 
Planetary  Pioneers  are  enlisting  le- 
gions of  adventurous  suckers  for  a 
gigantic  raid  on  the  public  purse  to 
finance  these  projects. 

JCET  literature  has  a  niglilmarisb 
quality,  re:  "readiU  admitting  that  the 
capital  outlay  involved  is  considerable. 


ihe  riluralnrs  are  stressing  the  fact 
that  several  radio  stations  can  be  built 
and  fully  equipped  for  less  money  than 
is  required  lo  erecl  a  sjnf^le  hifih 
^rlioul  hiiilding."   The  italics  are  ours. 

There  is  not  a  single,  solitarx  shred 
of  jjroof  that  this  untested  form  of 
coinnninication  uill  maintain  e\en  the 
ininimum  standards  of  formal  educa- 
tion. But  there  is  considerable  lack  of 
proof  that  these  experimenters  arc  uill- 
ing  to  overlook  the  failure  in  most 
parts  of  the  countrx  of  that  other  mys- 
terious force  known  as  "educational 
radio."  How  is  your  classroom  radio 
working? 

We  are  bitterl\  opposed  to  these  at- 
tempts to  divert  funds  so  urgenth 
needed  for  improxenient  of  (iresent 
educational  facilities,  buildings  and 
classroom  equipment.  We  have  only 
just  begun  to  fight.  Pages  11  to  1.5  of 
this  issue  provide  some  new  viewpoints 
and  in  following  months  we  jjromise 
fair  and  factual  analysis  on  which  our 
school  readers  can  reach  theii  own  in- 
formed conclusion-. 

Nobodx  doubts  ibc  poner  of  this 
mass  medium.  What  ue  do  ipicslion 
here  are  the  e\perience  ami  motives  of 
these  people  uho  are  trxing  to  push  our 
slate  legislatures  into  such  expensive 
and  |)otentiall\  wasteful  situations  as 
the  contemplated  New  York.  New  Jer- 
se\.  Connedicut  and  Wisconsin  state- 
w  ide  TV  netuorks. 

Difl  we  sa\  "untested?"  We  were 
wrong,  for  "educational"  television  is 
being  tested  everv  dav  and  night  bv 
Iowa  State  College  via  WOl-TV.  the 
"pioneer  educational  t.v.  station  of 
I  be  nation.  The  fortunate  viewers  of

treats  as  (^aplain  I  idea.  Tom  Corlieli.

these  ])rograms  and  some  other  WOl- 
TV  daily  fare  were  recently  listed  as. 
"variable"  and  "objectionable"  b\  the 
National  Television  Review  Board. 
This  mav  not  be  "educational"'  but  at

than   the  fanciful   flights  of  the  JCET.

FOR  A  LONG  TIME  there  has  been  a  demand  on  the 
campus  of  Arkansas  State  Teachers  College  to  record, 
on  film,  some  cif  the  major  campus  events  of  the  year. 
This  demand  finall)  caused  the  public  relations  department 
lo  dust  off  an  ancient  16mm  camera  and  do  sometb+Hg 
about  it.  We  began  b\  collecting  footage  of  special  events 
on  the  cam|)us  which  ciintiiiiied  for  two  years  afler  which 
lime  we  incorporated  several  of  these  ■'shots"  into  a  com- 
posite film  and  titled  it  "Life  on  the  A.STC  Campus." 

The  j)rocess  continues.  New  scenes  are  being  added  and 
others  are  removed  as  experience  dictates  in  ihe  editing 
process.  Facult\  members  expressed  enthusiasm  after  the

llie  child  stud>  group  sponsored  by  the  department  of 
Home  Economics  offered  to  finance  a  silent  film  on  the 
nursery  school  for  class  use  in  the  study  of  the  pre-school 
child.  Ife  filmed  il  under  their  direction  and  compiled  a 
rather  coinplrlr  account  of  a  day  in  the  nursery  school. 

L  nfortunalely  we  had  a  mishap  in  shooting  some  of 
the  last  scenes  of  the  film.  We  broke  the  shutter  to  our 
camera  which  resulted  in  some  faulty  exposures,  ife  pur- 
chased a  new  camera  and  began  inimeilialely  to  re-lake 
the  film. 

We  started  looking  for  other  activities  that  were  worth- 
while to  record.  A  twenty-five  day  field  trip  with  a  geog- 
raphy class  thrcingli  ihc  western  slates  was  a  perfect  set-up. 
A  complete  syllallu^  of  the  course  was  prepared  whicb. 
served  as  a  script.  The  trip  was  filmed- with  good  result|. 
Two  later  trips  co\ering  the  same  ground  have  cTiabled  us 
lo  add  footage  t<i  the  original  print.  A  new  tripod  has 
been  added  to  a\oi(l  some  of  the  "shaky"  scenes  of  the 
earlier  shots. 

A  field  trip  through  the  Eastern  States  was  filmed  on  a 
smaller  scale,  but  with  more  selectivity.  Only  such  scenes 
as  fitted  well  into  the  objectives  of  the  tour  were  selected. 
This  trip  has  not  yet  been  repeated;  consequently  we 
have  had  no  chance  for  further  work  on  the  film.  We 
know  now  of  several  desirable  scenes  that  w(;  will  add 
when  the  trip  is  repeated. 

Both  of  these  field-trip  films  are  used  by  the  geography 
department  here  and  by  in-service  teachers  throughout  the 
state.  Although  these  films  can  be  more  profitably  used, 
for  instructional  purposes  by  the  students  who  made  the 
trips,  their  use  has  not  been  confined  to  them  alone.  Many 
other  teachers  are  using  them  in  connection  with  their 
geography  classes. 

We  have  produced  two  films  in  cooperation  with  art 
and  play  production  classes  to  aid  in  the  study  of  drama- 
tization and  stage  settings.  The  films  created  enough  in- 
terest on  the  campus  to  demand  a  special  shotving  for  the 
student  body. 

We  Start  a  Ten  Year  Production  Project 

With  these  experiences  in  production  to  our  credit,  we 
are  now  planning  a  series  of  films  on  the  resources  and 
industries  of  Arkansas.  This  series  is  to  be  in  color  and 
will  include  sound. 

The  first  film  will  present  to  the  school  children  of  the

"Public  Relations  for  Labor"  Is 
Subject  of  Illinois'  Filmstrlp 

♦  Lecture  notes  instead  of  a  sound  re- 
cording are  provided  for  local  adapta- 
tions of  a  new  40-frame  fihnstrip  from 
the  University  of  Illinois  which  treats 
objectively  the  subject  of  the  labor 
union  and  its  potential  as  a  commu- 
nity-builder. In  Public  Relations  for 
Labor  the  subject  is  taken  up  objec- 
tively and  in  general  terms  so  that  it 
can  be  used  by  different  labor  groups. 

The  notes,  by  Dorothy  Dowell  and 
Marguerite  Keswick,  are  tied  directly 
to  the  frames.  If  a  discussion  is  to 
follow  the  showing,  they  advise  that 
the  kinds  of  questions  should  be 
worked  out  in  advance. 

Starting  with  the  premise  that  the 
local  union  is  a  part  of  the  commu- 
nity, the  filmstrip  goes  on  to  prove 
the  fact  and  shows  some  of  the  proj- 
ects of  the  unions  to  win  an  under- 
standing of  their  purposes  and  to  earn 
the  cooperation  of  the  citizenry. 
Among  them  are  Labor  Day  parades. 


exhibits  at  county  fairs,  picnics,  sports 
teams  outfitted  by  union  organiza- 
tions, labor  publications,  sponsored 
motion  pictures,  exchange  of  speakers, 
and  finally  through  participation  in 
local  government.

Four  Point  Program  to  Widen  Use 
of  Tape  Recordings  Is  Suggested 
♦  A  four-point  program  to  widen  and 
improve  the  contributions  of  tape  re- 
cordings   and    transcriptions    to    the 
classroom   is  recommended   by   E.  R. 
Moses,  Jr.,  director  of  radio,  Eastern 
Illinois   State  College.  Charleston,   111. 
Participating  in  a  panel  at  the  21st 
Institute  for  Education   by  radio.   Di- 
rector   Moses    said    tape    recordings 
should  not  be  made  a  displacement  for 
teachers     but     educators     should     be 
taught  how  to  use  the  recorder  by  the 
state    teachers   colleges.     He   urged   a 
flexible  plan  to  provide  tape  recording 
libraries     and     the     development     of 
standard   equipment   for    small   school 
budgets,  a  project  undertaken  by  the 
School   Broadcast   Conference  but  in- 
terrupted by  the  Korean  war. 

With  James  K.  Peterson  of  the  Ball 
State  Teachers  College  as  chairman, 
the  panel  had  as  the  other  participants 
John  Henderson  of  WBBA,  Purdue 
Lniversitv,  who  spoke  on  what  the 
teiicher-trainee  should  know  about 
radio:  and  Charles  Stamps  of  Murray 
State  College,  on  the  local  radio  sta- 
tion as  a  medium. 

W  hen  Henderson  said  schools  would 
make  a  mistake  if  they  sought  to  use 
radio  as  a  substitute  for  teachers, 
Moses  agreed  that  such  an  attempt 
with  tape  recordings  w^ould  invite  un- 
imaginative teaching,  the  loss  of  re- 
gional programs  and  "sterility  in  radio 
programming."  He  noted  that  the  use 
of  the  tape  recorder  has  been  charted 
in  the  Chicago  public  schools  for  ex- 
panded application,  with  study  haU 
periods  used  bv  monitors  to  obtain 
programs  desired  for  study  and  criti- 
cism. 

In  some  schools  it  may  be  feasible 
that  the  a-v  aids  division  handle  all 
records  and  tapes,  in  others  the  vari- 
ous departments  may  desire  control 
of  those  that  pertain  to  their  indi- 
vidual fields,  but  in  any  event  there 
should  be  working  arrangements  with 
recording  centers  "so  that  teachers 
may  have  access  to  tapes  and  records 
which  will  help  supplement  their 
course  work."

N.  Y.  Film  Council  members  about 
the  American  Heritage  Project. 


American  Heritage  Project  to 
Stimulate  Local  Discussion  Forums 
->f  Soundly  backed  by  a  $150,000  Ford 
Foundation  grant,  a  nationwide  pro- 
gram of  conferences  and  discussions 
relating  American  historv  to  our  con- 
temporary problems  and  affairs  has 
been  launched  by  the  American  Li- 
brar\  Association.  The  American  Heri- 
tage Project,  as  it  is  known,  is  admin- 
istered    h\      Mrs.     Grace     Stevenson. 

First  Fall  Meeting  oj  the  New  York 
memhrrs  irho  heard  about  ALA's  Anu 


sccretar\  of  the  AEA"s  Adult  Educa- 
tion Board  and  well  known  to  the 
audio-visual  field  for  her  pioneering 
work  in  adult  film  programs  at  the 
Seattle  Public   Library. 

Mrs.  Stevenson  and  John  M.  Cory, 
Chief  of  the  Circulating  Division  of 
the  New  York  Public  Library,  de- 
scribed the  new  project  to  members 
of  the  New  York  Film  Council  at  its 
first  fall  meeting  in  October.  Model 
for  the  program  is  said  to  be  a  series 
of  programs  organized  by  Mrs.  Mil- 
dred Mathews  who  heads  the  Adult 
Education  Program  of  the  New  York 
Library.  Her  programs,  planned  on  a 
local  level,  were  chosen  by  the  Ford 
Foundation  as  the  model  for  this  na- 
lionuide  experiment. 

Operating  through  discussion  groups 
developed  by  public  libraries  in  each 
community,  the  jjurposc  of  this  pro- 
gram is  to  encourage  citizens  to  draw^ 
upon  lessons  learned  by  our  fore- 
fathers in  former  times  of  stress  and 
to  applv  these  basic  principles  of 
Americanism  to  our  current  thinking. 
Both  films  and  books  will  be  used  in 
these  discussions.

Untimely  Death  of  Eldon  ImhofP 
Mourned   by  Audio-Visual   Industry 

♦   Tlie    sudden    passing   on   November 

I  of  Eldon  Imhoff,  vice-president  and 
sales  manager  of  Victor  Animatograph 
Corporation.  Davenport,  Iowa  came  as 
a  deep  and  saddening  shock  to  the 
many  thousands  of  educational,  reli- 
gious, and  business  people  with  whom 
lie  had  been  associated  for  the  past  two 
decades. 

Active  in  company  affairs  until  an 
hour  preceding  a  sudden  collapse  at- 
tributed to  a  heart  condition,  he  was 
a  leading  authority  on  audio-visual 
and   photographic  equipment. 

For   two   years  during  World  War 

II  he  served  as  a  Visual  Aids  coordi- 
nator in  charge  of  training  film  utiliza- 
tion in  the  Eighth  Service  Command, 
subsequently  administering  the  pro- 
gram at  Camp  Hood,  Texas.  He  re- 
turned to  private  life  in  July.  1944 
when  he  joined  the  Victor  sales  de- 
partment. In  1947  he  was  elevated  to 
the  position  of  domestic  sales  manager 
and  in  May  of  this  year  he  became  a 
vice-president. 

Mr.  Imhoff  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
the  former  Miss  Mary  Meyer,  and  by 
a  brother  and  sister.

Radio-Television  Topics  Hold 
Limelight  at  Ball  A-V  Meeting 

->(  Subject  of  the  opening  address  at

Included  in  topics  for  discussion 
were  international  air  communications, 
methods  of  cooperation  between 
schools  and  radio-TV  and  recent  FCC 
decisions.  A  demonstration  lecture  en- 
titled. How  Can  the  School  and  the

School  Broadcast  Conference  Will 
Feature  Critical  Analysis  of  TV 

♦  A  critical  analysis  of  radio  and  tele- 
vision in  education  will  be  the  subject 
of  the  School  Broadcast  Conference 
opening  December  4  at  Chicago's 
Hotel  Sherman.  The  15th  annual 
meeting  continues  through  December 
5  and  6. 

School  administrators,  teachers,  net- 
work representatives  and  station  ex- 
ecutives will  examine  radio  and  tele- 
vision as  well  as  other  mechanics  and 
techniques  of  communication  in  educa- 
tion. George  Jennings,  director  of  the 
Radio  Council  of  the  Chicago  Board  of 
Education,  is  local  host  of  the  con- 
ference.

The  Hard  Core— 13  Minutes.  B  &  W- 
Sound.    Produced    by    the    United 
Nations    Office    of   Public    Informa- 
tion   for   the   International   Refugee 
Organization.    Written    by    Patricia 
Zegart.  Photographed  and  directed 
by  Arthur  Zegart.  Narrated  by  Wal- 
ter Abel. 
•  This  is  the  story  of  a  special  core 
of  people  who  live  in  DP  camps — the 
hard  core — the  old,  the  crippled,  the 
sick,    the   blind — the   people   who   are 
not  wanted.  But  IRO  has  found  homes 
for  a  million  in  the  three  years  of  its 
operation.   In  the  DP  camp  they   are 
rehabilitated;    they    learn,    so    far    as 
it  is  possible,  to  be  whole  again.  They 
learn    to    walk    again;    they   learn    to 
work  again. 

With  their  rehabilitation  IRO  has 
persuaded  some  nations  to  take  them 
in.  Netherlands  sends  a  mission  to  see 
and  invite  some.  Israel  takes  others. 
France  extends  a  warm  hand  to  some 
lonely  aged.  Denmark  welcomes  some 
aged  and  infirm,  arranges  for  the  cure 
of  others  with  TB.  takes  children. 
Norway  sends  a  special  plane  for  the 
blind  and  their  families;  makes  ar- 
rangements for  surgery  to  give  the 
blind  new  sight. 

But  thousands  have  been  left  be- 
hind— the  aged,  the  handicapped,  the 
blind,  the  children.  Will  they  be  for- 
gotten, the  film  asks?  Will  there  yet 
be  time  before  IRO  closes  its  books? 
This  story  has  been  emotionalized 
to  the  point  of  being  maudlin.  The 
voice  of  the  narrator  and  the  urgent 
pacing  of  the  delivery  become  acces- 
sories to  this  fact. 


Magic  Formula:  Eciucalioiial  TV 

DAVI  SECRETARY  TELLS  FCC  ITS  BETTER  THAN  TODAY'S  METHODS 


THE  TESTIMONY  of  Joseph  James 
McPherson,  executive  secretary  of 
the  Department  of  Audio-Visual  In- 
struction of  the  National  Education 
Association,  before  the  Federal  Com- 
munications Commission  where  he  ap- 
peared as  a  supporting  witness  on 
behalf  of  educational  television  facili- 
ties makes  interesting  reading.  We  re- 
print directly  from  the  statement  of 
the  Joint  Committee  on  Educational 
Telc\  ision: 

"The  development  of  educational 
television  will  greatly  increase  the 
over-all  effectiveness  with  which 
schools  can  make  use  of  audio- visual 
learning  materials.  Today  in  a  school 
system  of  the  size  of  Los  Angeles  it 
would  require  probably  150  prints  of 
one  educational  film  to  meet  ade- 
quately the  needs  of  the  teachers  that 
might  be  teaching  a  definite  subject  at 
a  definite  time  of  the  year.  Prints, 
just  a  one-reel  black  and  white  sound 
film,  cost  about  S45.  Multiply  that  by 
12,000  different  subjects  that  the  Los 
Angeles  schools  have.  Multiply  it 
again  by  the  number  of  subjects  that 
are  multiple-reel  subjects,  and  you  see 
it  runs  into  astronomical  figures.  The 
expense  is  too  great." 

Let's  Give  Up  the  Ship 

We  have  the  word  of  this  "expert"' 
that  we  can't  win.  Although  the  audio- 
visual field  is  somehow  managing  to 
acquire  new  subjects  each  year  and  to 
use  them  as  they  should  be  used  within 
the  classrooms  of  our  schools,  as  they 
are   needed,   its  all  wrong.    What  we 


really  need  is  just  one  television  sta- 
tion in  Los  Angeles  (or  several)  and 
super-programmers  to  feed  a  few  thou- 
sand classroom  t.v.  receivers.  These 
cost  about  the  same  as  light-weight 
16nmi  sound  projectors,  of  course,  but 
nobody  has  to  thread  them  up.  You 
just  turn  the  switch  and  there  it  is! 

Has  TV  a  Classroom  Future? 

Obviously  Mr.  McPherson  thinks 
television  has  a  classroom  future.  He 
im|)lies  it,  he  testified  in  favor  of  it, 
he  has  hterally  abandoned  all  hope  for 
the  economic  survival  of  any  direct 
16mm  projection  of  classroom  films. 
"The  expense  is  too  great,"  he  says. 

There  is  serious  and  real  conflict  in 
these  views.  McPherson's  encourage- 
ment of  million-dollar  budget  raids  for 
educational  t.v.  networks  is  directly 
contrary  to  present  long-range,  com- 
mon-sense legislative  aid  programs  for 
audio-visual  service  on  state  and  local 
levels.  "You  don't  need  it."  the  tele- 
visers  say.  "The  expense  is  too  great" 
says  Mr.  McPherson. 

Let's  Have  a  Frank  Statement 
See  &  Hear  is  dedicated  to  our 
present  logical  course  of  continued  de- 
velopment of  specific  classroom  mate- 
rials for  specific  needs.  It  challenges 
the  DA\  I  secretary  to  ami)lify.  clarify, 
or  retract  his  FCC  testimony  which 
seems  to  contradict  his  continued  sup- 
port of  these  aims.  His  office  is  sup- 
ported financially  by  those  who  share 
our  beliefs.  In  fairness  to  them  he 
should  state  his  position.

These,  our  youngsters,  in  the  classrooms  of  America 
are     the     real     beneficiaries    of    audio-visual    aids.

Yardsticks  for  Educational  Video: 

Can  Classroom  TV 
Follow  These  Proven 
Audio -Visual  Principles? 

•  hy  J.  J.  Jeliring.  Assistant  Professor 
Cornell  Lniversity 


TWO  VIDEO  VIEWPOINTS:  above  the  to»er  of  WOI-TV,  first 
educational  telecasler  at  Iowa  Stale  College.  Below:  Walt's 
Workshop  is  a  regular  commercial  feature  of  NBC's  Chicago 
outlet  WNBQ  and  typical  of  educational  fare  which  such  fa- 
cilities  can  provide   through   their  existing   facilities. 


Dl  RI\G  the  past  few  decades,  educators  have  been 
experimenting  with  the  proper  methods  of  using 
audio-visual  materials  in  the  classroom.  Out  of 
these  experiments  certain  basic  principles  have  evolved 
which  have  been  found  to  be  important  in  the  most  effec- 
tive use  of  audio-visual  materials  in  a  classroom  situation. 
Presently  we  are  confronted  with  the  likelihood  of  using 
educational  television  in  the  classroom  as  a  teaching  tool. 
This  raises  some  problems  when  it  is  considered  in  the 
light  of  what  has  been  discovered  by  educators  to  be  the 
most  effective  method  of  using  audio-visual  instructional 
materials  in  a  classroom  situation.  It  might  be  well  to  out- 
line some  of  the  problems  which  must  be  solved  before 
educational  television  can  be  used  in  the  classroom  with 
the  same  effectiveness  as  we  are  presently  using  audio- 
visual materials. 

How  AI)oiit  Previewing  and  Follow-Up? 

The  first  problem  to  consider  is  that  of  teacher  previetv 
and  preparation.  In  the  effective  use  of  films  in  the  class- 
room, any  teacher  soon  discovers  that  the  preview  and 
preparation  are  perhaps  the  most  important  steps  in  using 
audio-visual  materials  effectively.  It  does  not  take  a  teacher 
verv  long  to  learn  the  folly  of  going  into  the  classroom  and 
attempting  to  teach  with  a  film  which  has  not  first  been 
seen  and  carefully  analyzed.  A  teacher  may  show  films 
without  preview  but  the  chances  are  there  will  be  much 
more  entertainment  than  education  taking  place  in  that 
classroom.  No  teacher  would  think  of  taking  a  textbook 
which  he  had  never  seen  before,  into  the  classroom  and 
expect  to  teach  from  it  effectively.  In  this  respect,  the  use 
of  educational  television  poses  a  real  question.  Can  a  sub- 
stitute be  found  for  the  teacher  pre\  iew  which  is  neces- 
sary for  the  effective  educational  use  of  audio-visual 
materials  ? 

The  second  problem  is  the  matter  of  foUou-up.  Experi- 
ence indicates  that  in  certain  types  of  audio-visual  mate- 
rials, the  follow-up  is  important  if  educational  goals  are 
to  be  attained.  It  is  common  practice  now  to  use  the  follow- 
up  principle  with  the  use  of  audio-visual  materials.  Here 
again  it  is  imperative  that  the  teacher  give  time  and  study 
to  the  audio-visual  item  in  order  to  plan  an  effective  fol- 
low-up. 

To  have  an  effective  folloAv-up  of  a  television  program 
immediately  after  viewing  it  in  the  classroom  by  both  stu- 
dents and  teacher,  is  unlikely  because  of  lack  of  previous 
planning.  Preferably  the  teacher  should  be  given  some 
opportunity  to  prepare  the  proper  kind  of  follow-up  and 
not  be  expected  to  conduct  a  follow-up  on  the  spur  of  the 
moment  immediately  after  seeing  the  program.  Can  some 
effective  method  be  found  to  provide  for  teacher  follow- 
up  of  educational  television  presentations? 

Repetition  and  Review  Are  Important 

The  problem  of  repetition.  As  has  been  pointed  out 
previously,  the  matter  of  repeating  the  presentation  is  an 
important  principle  in  the  use  of  audio-visual  materials 
in  some  cases.  This  is  especially  true  in  the  presentation 
of  information  and  skill-training  types  of  materials.  In 
television  how  can  we  provide  for  having  groups  see  the 
material  twice  where  the  teacher  has  tested  and  found 
that  all  the  information  or  skill  has  not  been  properly 
learned? 

The  problem  of  change  of  pace  in  using  audio-visual 
materials.    Many  times    in   using   audio-visual   materials, 

SEE  and  HEAR 


teachers  find  it  advantageous  to  suit  the  pace  of  ilie  mate- 
rial to  the  group.  This  is  especially  true  of  fihnslrips  hut 
it  may  also  be  true  of  movies  where  it  is  often  found  de- 
sirable to  stop  the  projector  on  a  particular  frame  or  to 
turn  off  the  projector  after  a  particular  setjuence  for  a  dis- 
cussion, before  proceeding  to  the  next  sequence.  How  can 
television  he  adopted  to  the  cliange  of  pace  iieccssar\  for 
adequate  use  of  the  material? 

Can  Educational  T.V.  Provide  Programs';' 
The  prohlem  of  Icniilln  and  co.siIy  prcpuration.  yVudio- 
visual  materials  of  educational  significance  which  have 
been  produced  to  date  in  the  form  of  sound  motion  picture 
films  are  very  expensive  and  ha\e  taken  a  great  deal  of 
time  and  effort.  The  average  15-ininute  educational  sound 
motion  picture  may  cost  from  .S10,000-S30,000  to  produce, 
and  a  considerable  amount  of  time  and  effort  of  subject 
matter  specialists  must  be  devoted  to  making  the  finished 
product  educationally  acceptable.  To  produce  live  tele- 
vision shows  of  comparable  quality  would  be  costly  in 
terms  of  time  of  subject  matter  area  specialists  and  pro- 
ducers. Unless  a  kinescope  recording  was  made  of  the 
show  (that  is  a  motion  picture  film)  it  could  be  used  only 
once.  The  question  here  is  can  we  afford  the  cost  of  high 
quality  live  television  educational  shows? 

The  problem  of  scheduling.  In  our  formal  education 
system,  television  faces  the  same  problem  that  radio  has 
faced  to  date.  For  manv  years  now  the  established  educa- 
tional radio  networks  have  been  struggling  with  this  prob- 
lem and  in  most  cases  have  met  with  very  limited  success. 
One  of  the  most  important  things  for  the  teacher  is  to 
attempt  to  adapt  the  audio-visual  material  to  the  class 
schedule.  To  use  audio-visual  materials  they  must  be  avail- 
able on  the  day  and  at  the  hours  they  are  needed.  To  have 
even  a  majoritv  of  the  teachers  in  any  state  teaching  a 
certain  subject  at  a  certain  time  on  a  certain  day.  so  that 
they  can  have  a  television  program,  seems  to  be  impossible 
of  achievement. 

The  Trend   Is  Toward  Sju'cific  Materials 

There  are  other  problems  also  which  concern  the  pro- 
duction of  the  material  for  television  rather  than  their  use 
in  the  classroom.  We  must  also  find  ways  in  which  we  can 
encourage  student  participation  in  audio-visual  materials. 
We  must  tailor  our  educational  audio-visual  programs  for 
more  specific  groups  and  not  make  them  for  large  mass 
audiences. 

The  question  of  the  use  of  television  in  the  classroom  is 
now  in  the  hands  of  the  educational  leaders  of  the  country. 
They  must  decide  upon  the  expenditure  of  large  sums  of 
money  for  this  purpose.  Before  any  such  expenditures  are 
made,  it  would  seem  desirable  to  conduct  extensive  experi- 
ments to  determine  the  effectiveness  of  classroom  educa- 
tional television  as  compared  w  ith  the  methods  of  classroom 
audio-visual  instruction  currently  in  use. 

Such  research  studies  must  be  carried  on  by  competent 
research  people  in  the  area  of  educational  psycholog)",  pref- 
erably in  a  University  currently  engaged  in  research  in 
this  field.  Such  research  should  be  completed  prior  to  the 
establishment  of  extensive  educational  television  programs 
in  the  school  systems. 

Educational  leaders  would  do  well  to  beware  of  so  called 
research,  presented  in  the  form  of  teacher  interviews  on 
the  use  and  effectiveness  of  television  programs  in  the 
classrooms,  opinions  of  experts,  etc.    Whereas  these  may 


serve  their  purpose  they  should  not  he  considered  as  a  sub- 
stitute for  a  substantial  research  j)rogram  conducted  by 
qualified  university  experts  in  educational  psychology. 
Only  through  a  thorough  study  of  this  matter  can  we  come 
to  the  final  ansuer  of  the  (|uestioii.

ALTERNATIVE:    LOCAE    COOI'EKATION 

Television  Experiment 
in  Salt  Lake  City 

by  Ellaiuao  Clark* 


Ml  Cll  has  been  predicted  for  television  and  its  place 
ill  modern  education.  Much  also  has  been  said 
about  education's  taking  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunities afforded  by  television  —  opportunities  which  are 
two-fold:  111  the  bringing  of  highly  educational  televised 
programs  to  the  classrooms  and  (  2  I  the  use  of  television 
as  a  means  of  showing  the  piiiilir  what  is  going  on  in  the 
schools. 

Educators  and  parents  of  Salt  Lake  City  have  watched 
with  interest  three  different  kinds  of  televised  programs, 
using  public  school  students,  that  have  been  in  progress 
since  September  1919.  The  three  programs  differed  .in 
content  but  all  had  many  educational  values  for  the  par- 
ticipating students  from  seven  junior  and  throe  senior 
high  schools  of  the  city. 

One  televised  half-hour  wcekh  program  utilized  a  series 
of  assembly  programs  from  a  junior  high  school.  The 
programs  were  original  dramatizations  of  the  life  and 
culture  of  neighboring  countries.  Dialogue,  dances,  songs 
and  instrumental  numbers  were  woven  into  the  program. 
Beautiful  costumes  and  attractive  stage  properties  added

to  the  presentations.  Approximately  100  students  took 
part  in  these  televised  programs  and  it  was  a  profitable 
educational  experience  for  them.  '"Its  a  Date"  and  "Music 
Masters  of  Tomorrow"  presented  students  of  secondary 
schools  in  televised  talent  programs.  These  programs 
were  planned  in  advance  by  a  joint  committee  consisting 
of  tele\-ision  station  representation  and  school  people. 

Representatives  from  the  television  station  auditioned 
the  numbers  at  the  schools,  usually  as  the  students  were 
performing  for  an  assembly.  Prior  to  the  audition  stu- 
dents filled  out  blanks  giving  name,  age,  school,  grade, 
type  of  number,  name  of  selection,  years  of  study,  and 
■  ambitions.  This  information  was  of  value  in  setting  up 
the  final  show. 

Wide  Range  of  Student  Talent  Noted 

In  an  attempt  to  balance  each  program  a  variety  of 
numbers  was  used:  vocal  numbers  included  solos  and  en- 
sembles— a  brother  and  sister  having  near  perfect  pitch 
demonstrated  it  —  a  Negro  girl  sang  spirituals;  instru- 
mental numbers  were  of  wide  variety  with  piano  duo  and 
solos,  violin  and  saxophone  presentations:  dance  numbers 
included  ballet,  toe,  and  a  beautiful  and  near-professional 
interpretative  dance  by  a  junior  high  school  girl:  novelty 
numbers  included  the  wide  variety  of  interests  one  might 
expect  to  find  among  young  people  of  high  school  age; 
impersonations  and  mimicry  were  especially  entertaining. 
The  poise  of  these  students  and  the  ease  with  which  they 
performed  before  the  television  cameras  amazed  adults 
working  with  them. 

It  is  true  that  the  talents  and  interests  of  students  pre- 
sented in  the  programs  described  were  not  the  result  of 
classroom  training,  but  we  know  the  modern  school  recog- 
nizes and  encourages  student  interests  and  abilities  and 
affords  its  students  opportunities  to  display  these  interests 
and  talents  wherever  possible.  In  our  opinion  the  oppor- 
tunity presented  by  the  television  programs  to  do  this  very 
thing  has  been  well  worth  the  time  and  energy  put  into 
the  project. 

What  of  the  future?  \^Tiat  did  we  learn  from  these 
first  simple  beginnings?  We  saw  potentialities  for  tele- 
vised programs  which  are  limitless  and  we  are  looking 
ahead  and  can  see  much  progress  in  showing  the  school 
and  the  classroom  to  the  public. 

If  we  are  going  to  show  our  students  and  our  schools 
to  the  viewing  public  we  should  do  it  through  school  ac- 


tivities. We  want  to  present  the  educational  values  of  our 
schools.  We  won't  look  for  a  finished  performance — the 
thing  we  should  not  and  could  not  give  in  the  light  of 
children's  maturity,  interests,  and  well-being.  That  will 
mean  that  schools  will  maintain  control  of  the  programs. 

School  Activities  Suggest  TV  Programs 
There  is  no  limit  to  the  kinds  of  school  activities  that 
lend  themselves  to  televised  presentations:  for  instance, 
the  manual  arts  division  could  show  the  making  of  jewelry, 
working  with  plastics,  tooling  leather.  Youngsters  could 
present  a  series  of  demonstrations  explaining  scientific 
principles.  Explanations  and  discussions  of  natural  ob- 
jects might  include  collections  of  insects,  butterflies,  rocks 
by  intermediate  and  secondary  students.  Charts  and  dia- 
grams dealing  with  astronomy  could  serve  as  the  subject 
for  programs.  The  Social  Sciences  could  contribute  a 
wealth  of  classroom  activities  for  television  such  as  drama- 
tizations of  great  events  of  history,  discussion  of  pictorial 
interpretation  of  the  "Bill  of  Rights,"  democracy  and 
what  it  means,  and  so  forth.  Performing  pets,  hobbies, 
dramatization,  puppet  shows  in  which  children  handling 
the  puppets  as  well  as  the  puppets  themselves  are  shown, 
would  make  interesting  televised  programs. 

The  health,  music,  and  art  departments,  the  school 
library,  all  have  great  possibilities  for  excellent  television 
programs. 

Physical  Factors  in  TV  Programming 

From  our  observation  of  television  programs  we  know 
a  technique  of  handling  the  program  will  need  to  be  worked 
out  so  that  the  children  talk  to  the  viewer  about  the  activity 
and  have  the  center  of  the  screen,  keeping  the  teacher  or 
the  other  adult  interviewer  out  of  the  picture. 

We  know  that  time  schedules  become  a  factor  to  be  con- 
sidered. Performers  and  the  viewing  public  are  often 
disturbed  by  the  constant  rush  and  push  of  television 
shows.  School  people  and  television  workers  will  need  to 
work  on  this  problem  to  reduce  to  a  minimum  the  feeling 
of  push  and  rush. 

We  know  also  that  schools  will  need  to  employ  specially 
skilled  persons  who  know  children  and  the  schools  and 
the  public  and  to  be  responsible  for  organizing  such  pro- 
grams.   It  will  be  a  full  time  job. 

Much  is  said  today  about  the  school  and  public  rela- 
tions. Surely  television  is  now  a  most  powerful  medium 
in  this  respect.  The  schools  cannot  afford  to  pass  up  this 
remarkable  opportunity  for  taking  the  classroom  to  the 
public  so  that  all  may  see  and  understand  better  the  work 
of  the  school.  •

(CONTINUED     FROM     PACE     SIX     PRECEDING) 

State  an  understanding  of  the  physical  characteristics  of 
the  state  and  their  relationships  to  the  resources  and  in- 
dustries of  the  state.  Following  this  film,  we  plan  to  de- 
velop otlier  films  on  the  various  industries  of  the  state. 
This  is  an  area  of  instructional  materials  that  we  feel 
needs  considerable  attention  locally  and  one  in  which 
commercial  producers  can  rarely  afford  to  participate. 

Other  Campus  Productions  Are  Planned 

At  present  we  are  collecting  scenes  that  are  seasonable 
in  nature.  For  instance  the  fall  of  the  year  is  the  season 
of  greatest  danger  of  forest  fires.  A  recent  field  trip 
with  a  class  through  a  state  forest  gave  us  valuable  footage 
of  a  demonstration  of  the  methods  of  detecting  and  fight- 
ing a  forest  fire.  The  rangers  actually  started  a  forest  fire 
and  employed  their  actual  technique  in  putting  it  out.  The 
loss  of  footage  in  editing  these  scenes  is  approximately 
10%  which  is  low-  as  compared  to  our  earlier  experiences. 
Other  scenes  will  be  shot  in  the  spring  when  the  same 
geography  class  will  visit  the  forest  nurserv  and  a  paper 
mill. 

We  do  not  expect  to  complete  the  first  film  before  the 
end  of  19.51.  Many  of  the  industries  have  seasonal  activi- 
ties, and  we  will  have  to  catch  them  at  such  times  when 
their  activities  are  prominent.  The  entire  series  will  prob- 
ablv  take  ten  years  to  complete  as  we  are  not  planning  to 
devote  full  time  to  production. 

Today  our  equipment  includes  a  Cine  Special  with  an 
extra  magazine,  a  Junior  Professional  Tripod  with  pan 
and  gear  head,  an  exposure  meter,  and  a  collection  of  flood 
lights.  We  do  not  plan  to  add  sound  equipment  because 
of  the  expense. 

We  Do  What  We  Can  Do  Best! 

We  are  confining  our  production  to  those  areas  where 
materials  are  not  available  from  commercial  sources  or  are 
too  limited  in  extent  for  our  purposes.  We  believe  the 
cost  of  production,  which  is  not  excessive,  is  well  justified 
because  of  the  wide  use  here  that  we  can  already  see  will 
be  made  of  the  films.  Teachers  over  the  state  who  have 
used  these  films  have  definitely  profited  from  an  enriched 
teaching  program.  This  has  led  them  to  use  other  teach- 
ing materials  to  provide  the  desirable  experiences  for  their 
pupils.  We  are  certain  our  local  productions  are  helping 
to  expand  the  general  utilization  of  teaching  materials  in 
the  state.   Such  utilization  is  our  primary  objective.  • 


A  Word  About  Canipu>  Film  Production 

•  The  16mm  film  citlier  sound  or  silent  is  rapidly 
becoming  a  documentary  instrument  in  schools 
across  America.  Usually  interest  in  film  production 
begins  in  a  small  way — and  expands  rapidly.  Here 
is  another  account  of  how  a  man  with  an  idea,  Mr. 
Graham  T.  Nixon,  has  created  expanding  circles  of 
interest  at  his  school.  The  Arkansas  State  Teachers 
College.  If  after  reading  this,  you  wish  more  com-

The  "'Tellaviewers" 

l.y    Robert   D.   MacCurdy 
Teacher  of   Biology-.   ^  atertown.  Mass.   H.S. 


RESTORED  for  today's  educational  use,  with  a  rec- 
reational flair,  is  the  simple,  versatile  and  useful 
tool  of  what  perhaps  had  become  a  lost  profession 
— the  "magic  lantern"  lecturer.    Their  modern  protagon- 
ists are  the  "Tellaviewers." 

Two  generations  ago,  before  the  movies,  radio  and  tele- 
\'ision  claimed  our  time  and  attention,  our  grandparents 
used  to  attend  "magic  lantern"  illustrated  lectures.  They 
were  both  recreational  and  educational.  With  the  passing 
of  those  days,  the  lantern  slide  has  been  often  overlooked 
as  a  recreational  device.  Now.  the  rapid  growth  of  the 
audio-visual  technique  in  education  has  turned  the  light 
of  re-examination  upon  this  tool.  Beyond  the  use  of  the 
machine  as  a  slide  projector,  little  has  been  done  to  ex- 
tend its  application  to  its  maximum  potential. 

A  Lo:^l  Art   1?  Revived   to  Serve 

The  author  has  made  an  attempt  to  revive  the  lost  art 
of  the  lantern  slide  lecturer.  Several  of  his  more  promis- 
ing students  were  offered  the  opportunity  of  participating 
in  the  program.  They  were  provided  with  sets  of  lantern 
slides,  or  made  their  own.  on  such  subjects  as  botany, 
domesticated  animals,  snakes,   and  prehistoric   man. 

The  students  then  set  about  the  task  of  compiling  their 
own  set  of  lecture  cards  to  accompany  and  explain  the 
slides.  After  the  lecture  cards  had  been  prepared  and 
correlated  with  the  slides,  the  students  searched  through 
various  anthologies  to  find  anecdotes  relative  to  the  lecture 
material  and  slides.  This  material  was  also  recorded  on 
lecture  cards  and  svTichronized  with  the  slides. 

Practice  Makes  for  Perfect  Programs 

Students  then  began  to  jiractice  using  the  projection 
apparatus,  the  slides,  the  set  of  lecture  cards  and  anecdotes, 
and  the  hat  pin  pointer. 

Skill  is  necessary  to  handle  smoothly  this  collection  of 
items  without  noise,  confusion,  or  a  disarray  of  cards  and 
slides.  Finally,  the  student  practiced  reading  the  cards  in 
the  darkened  projection  room,  stressing  speech  qualities

"Measuring"    (one    of    the   Cooking 
film  series  described  beloiv). 


IT  would  be  strange  indeed  if  the 
home  economics  teacher  could 
view  tlie  endless  parade  of  new 
films  on  food  preparation  without  some 
bewilderment.  In  one  of  the  graduate 
courses  at  New  York  University  a  few 
of  them  were  evaluated  recently  and 
suggestions  offered  for  their  use.  Cook- 
ing Terms,  Cooking  Measurement,  and 
Cooking:  Planning,  Buying  Food,  Why 
Budget  and  Kitchen  Safety,  were  in 
the  list.* 

The  opinion  prevailed  that  all  of 
the  list  could  be  used  to  introduce  a 
unit,  to  summarize  a  unit  or  area  of 
learning,  or  to  evaluate  the  present 
knowledge  of  the  student.  And,  the 
films  are  useful  with  high  school,  col- 
lege, or  adult  groups.  Three  of  the 
films  were  selected  for  detailed  anal- 
ysis.

Terms 


ig,.  ii/„.j.  J I  high  school 
teacher  found  this  film  valuable  for  a 
beginning  class  in  foods  to  promote  a 
clearer  understanding  of  terminology. 
Showing  of  the  film  was  followed  by 
demonstrations  by  the  teacher  or  in 
some  instances,  students  when  the 
terms  were  encountered  later  in  actual 
preparation. 

A  college  class  in  experimental  cook- 
ery found  the  film  challenging  in  an 
examination  of  terminology  in  food 
preparation.  Definitions  presented  in 
the  film  were  compared  with  thbse 
from  other  sources.  In  some  instances, 
students  formulated  improved  defini- 
tions. Several  students  studied  the 
origin  of  definitions.  Others  analyzed 
the  practical  aspects  of  definitions  for 
accuracy  and  clarity. 

In  another  instance,  an  advanced 
high  school  class  examined  the  terms 
for  scientific  accuracy  and  for  their 
practical    aspects.     Questions   were

Applying  Some  Selected  Films  in  the  Classroom : 

The  Constructive  Use 
of  Home  Economics  Films 

by   Henrietta   Fleck,   Chairman,   Home   Economics  Dept., 
School  of  Education,  New  York  University 


raised,  as  for  example,  about  the  ad- 
visability of  testing  jelly  with  a  wooden 
spoon,  the  high  temperature  for  scald- 
ing milk,  the  pouring  of  batter  into 
egg  whites,  placing  a  roast  with  the 
meat  side  up  in  a  pan,  and  the  method 
employed  for  dredging.  The  flexibil- 
ity of  definitions  was  examined,  too, 
especially  in  the  light  of  equipment, 
the  individuals  concerned,  and  the  sit- 
uations involved. 

Film  Used   for  Examination 

Since  many  terms  are  outlined  in 
the  film,  a  college  teacher  of  an  in- 
troductory foods  class  used  the  film 
in  a  final  examination  of  the  course. 
She  asked  students  to  evaluate  each 
term  critically  and  to  make  any 
changes  they  might  deem  necessary. 
The  approach  was  novel  and  proved 
to  be  more  than  interesting  to  the 
students.  A  word  of  advice:  sufficient 
light  should  be  provided  in  the  room 
for  students  to  write. 

Buying  Food.  A  college  teacher  in 
a  consumei  education  course  found 
this  film  exj>ressly  helpful  in  present- 

"Planning"  is  another  of  the  useful 
classroom  film  subjects  on  cooking. 


v, 


ing  points  to  consider  in  the  buying 
of  food.  A  young  married  man  in 
the  class  became  so  interested  in  the 
suggestions  offered  that  he  made  a 
careful  examination  of  his  own  prac- 
tices. Considerable  money  was  saved 
when  he  and  his  wife  discontinued 
buying  all  of  their  food  at  a  local 
delicatessen  and  launched  upon  a  defi- 
nite budget  and  plan. 

One  of  the  graduate  students  found 
the  film  valuable  in  her  work  with 
adult  groups  of  low  income  status.  In- 
formation contained  in  the  film  had 
to  be  adapted  and  supplemented  at 
certain  points.  For  example,  other 
types  of  milk  which  may  be  purchased 
were  added.  The  film  impressed  many 
of  the  homemakeis  to  volunteer  infor- 
mation from  their  own  experiences. 

In  a  home  management  unit  in  a 
high  school  class  the  fibn  was  used  as 
a  point  of  departure  in  examining 
food-buying  practices  in  general.  Since 
only  a  super  market  is  indicated  in 
the  film,  class  committees  investigated 
other  types  of  markets,  studied  food 
budgets  and  buying  practices  of  vari- 
ous types  of  families,  and  summarized 
them  in  some  overall  suggestions  for 
improved  familv  buying. 

Safely  Is  a  Key  Problem 

Kitchen  Safety.  A  college  teacher 
in  reporting  on  the  use  of  this  filih 
savs  that  discussion  which  followed 
the  viewing  of  the  film  lead  to  an  ex- 
amination of  many  other  types  of 
experiences.  Several  students  discussed 
safety  practices  with  their  families. 
Another  student  reported  that  her 
family  examined  tlie  layout  of  the 
kitchen  in  her  home,  and  as  a  result, 
a  number  of  changes  were  made  to 
promole  safetv.  In  another  discussion, 
a  family  decided  that  a  kitchen  ste])- 
ladder  was  a  '"must"  in  their  home. 

In  a  high  school  home  economics 
class,  the  film  met  with  such  favor  that 
a  high  school  assembly  program  was 
built  around  it.    This,  in  turn,  proved 


lii 


SEE  and  HEAR 


to    be    the    incentive    for    an    all-high 
school  program  on  safety. 

A  home  demonstration  agent,  in  re- 
lating her  experiences  with  tlie  film, 
said  that  one  outstanding  by-|)roduct 
was  the  planning  of  safety  exhibits  for 
the  county  fair.  In  addition,  a  more 
diligent  examination  of  safety  prac- 
tices occurred  in  main    liomcs. 

Use  Films  for  a  I'lirposr 
Summary.  A  n u in b e r  of  points 
worthy  of  note  were  raised  by  this 
group  of  graduate  students.  In  the 
use  of  films  of  this  type,  it  is  impor- 
tant that  the  films  be  used  for  some 
specific  purpose  other  than  mere  en- 
tertainment. The  success  of  the  use 
of  a  film  depends  largely  upon  the 
extent  tt>  which  the  audience  is  reached 
tlirough  it.  In  other  words,  were  ideas 
clarified,  were  behaviors  changed,  and 
did  some  kind  of  beneficial  action  re- 
sult? Furthermore,  a  teacher  should 
help  her  group  to  examine  a  fibn 
critically,  not  to  accept  all  informa- 
tion wholeheartedly,  but  to  examine 
it  with  a  view  to  accuracy,  clarity,  and 
practicability.  A  film  must  not  be 
allowed  to  stand  by  itself.  It  must  be 
an  integral  part  of  the  learning  process.

Italian   Culture    of   the   Ages   Shown 
In  Highlight  in  Films  of  3  Cities 

♦  III  these  days  when  time  has  a  prob- 
lem keeping  its  pen  filled  to  record 
the  swiftly  moving  world  events,  the 
screen  provides  an  unexcelled  medium 
to  ca])turc  history  in  abbreviation  for 
the  student  of  the  arts,  crafts  and 
architecture  of  nations  and  cities. 
Three  such  subjects,  on  Italian  cul- 
ture, recently  came  from  the  Cornell 
Film  Co.,  1501  Broadway,  New  York 
City  18. 

In  Rome  the  camera  spans  2.700 
years  in  20  minutes  from  pagan  days 
to  the  modern  city  and  a  papal  ad- 
dress in  St.  Peter's  Square.  Florence 
(12  minutes)  shows  students  painting 
in  street  and  studio,  gold  and  silver- 
smiths creating  their  wares,  a  scene 
of  the  feast  of  St.  John  within  the 
Baptistry,  and  Giotto's  tower  and 
bells.  A  gondola  tour  of  Venice  (18 
minutes)  presents  the  Palace  of  the 
Doges,  St.  Mark's  Cathedral,  glass- 
workers  of  today,  and  the  water-mir- 
rored city  at  night. 

Realistic  Approach  on  International 
Scene  Goal  of  Classroom  Producer 

"♦f  A  realistic  approach  to  subject 
matter  in  the  production  of  motion 
pictures  of  other  lands  for  use  in  edu- 
cation is  the  objective  of  a  new  or- 
ganization. World  Neighbor  Films, 
P.O.  Box  1.527.  Santa  Barbara,  Calif. 

Pre-production  conferences  with 
educators  in  California  pointed  up  the 
fallacies  of  the  all  too  frequent  roman- 
tic and  traveloguish  treatment  of  the 
life  and  customs  of  other  peoples,  re- 
sulting in  distortion  to  the  student  by 
emphasis  on  the  spectacular.  Hence 
World  Neighbor  Films,  writes  Clark 
V.  Blocher,  has  taken  the  opposite  tack 
ond  is  giving  first  attention  to  the 
similarities  to  life  in  the  United  States. 

The  first  production,  on  the  earth 
and  what  it  grows,  is  Northwestern 
Mexico  (11  min.,  sound  and  color, 
S85).  The  film  has  been  "classroom 
tested"  for  use  in  social  studies  courses 
and  is  pertinent  to  discussion  of  topics 
in  the  fields  of  geography,  world  af- 
fairs, land  reclamation,  the  machine 
age  and  of  course  Mexican  culture. 
Brought  out  are  three  aspects  of  the 
normal  life  of  the  area:  the  irrigation 
farmer's  adaptation  to  his  environ- 
ment, the  cotton  ginning  process  and 


liic  derivation  of  hemp.  Scenes  were 
shot  in  Chihuahua  and  Sinaloa  states 
last  December.  Maps  provide  an  addi- 
tional educational  aid.  Tractor,  hay 
baler,  harvester  combine  and  cotton 
gin  demonstrate  the  modern  farming 
methods  employed.  A  teacher's  guide, 
with  narration,  carries  out  the  theme 
of  realism.

Are  You  Using  the  Overhead  Projector? 

Growing  Popularity  Is  Based  on  Useful  Service  in  the  Classroom 


(»(• 


HUH!  LAZY  MAN'S  TEACHING,"  was  the 
comment  the  head  of  a  department  of  educa- 
tion made  recently  to  a  querv-  about  the  use  of 
the  overhead  projector.  Later  on,  when  showing  a  visitor 
the  department's  audio  visual  equipment,  he  pointed  out 
a  dust  covered  projector  "of  some  sort"  at  the  bottom  of 
a  closet. 

You  guessed  it.  The  forgotten  projector  was  one  of 
the  newer  audio  visual  aids  to  learning — an  overhead 
projector. 

Most  of  the  te.Ktbooks  and  other  publications  in  the 
field  either  completely  ignore  this  newer  device,  comment 
adversely,  or  pass  it  off  lightly  while  giving  much  space 
to  slide  projectors. 

Those  of  us  who  have  used  the  projector  find  it  hard 
to  understand  this  lethargy.  For  the  so-called  overhead 
projector  is  a  machine  that  will  do  everything  that  the 
old  standby  3^  x  4  slide  projector  will  do.  plus  much 
more.  Educators  who  have  used  it  in  the  fields  of  insur- 
ance, religion,  publishing,  and  the  military,  as  well  as  in 
the  various  levels  of  public  education,  have  expressed 
amazed  enthusiasm  at  its  effectiveness. 

Here  Are  Its  Principal  Advantages 

Let  us  briefly  list  some  of  the  factors  which  make  this 
form  of  "lecture  desk  lantern"  so  useful. 

It  operates  in  daylight  conditions.  Because  it  need  be 
only  about  seven  feet  away  to  fill  the  classroom  screen, 
there  is  not  the  usual  amount  of  light  loss. 

The  operator  faces  the  class. 

As  the  teacher  points  to  the  material  in  front  of  her. 
she  can  readily  see  if  the  pupils  are  following  along  by 
taking  notes,  making  sketches,  or  giving  full  attention. 

The  machine  is  simply  operated. 

One  switch  turns  on  the  projector. 

One  easily  turned  knob  focuses  it. 

One  final  knob  adjusts  the  speed  of  the  cooling  fan. 

Younger  children  can  make  materials  for  projection. 

Since  a  slide  of  about  seven  inches  on  a  side  may  be 
projected,  the  smaller  children  will  have  the  large  area 


to  work  on  that  their  less  finely  developed  muscles  re- 
quire. Since  no  darkening  of  the  room  is  required,  since 
a  flick  of  the  switch  sets  the  prefocused  machine  in  oper- 
ation, and  since  no  screen  is  really  necessary,  the  children 
can  project  their  own  pictures  for  evaluation  and 
correction. 

It  is  ideal  for  one  room  schools  and  multiple-activity 
classrooms. 

An  individual  or  a  group  can  be  off  in  one  corner  of 
a  room  projecting  their  own  materials  without  interfe-ring 
with  the  other  activities. 

It's  Easy  to  Make  Your  Own  Materials 

Materials  are  easily  constructed  and  filed  and  are  non- 
breakable  (with  the  exception  of  prepared  3^  x  4  glass 
slides  which  may  be  used  on  occasion). 

Construction:  Drafting  or  special  plastics  inks  may  be 
penned  or  brushed  onto  the  clear  varieties  while  colored 
pencils  and  slide  crayons  may  be  used  on  the  "frosted" 
types.  Materials  that  ordinarily  have  to  be  condensed  may 
be  traced  full  size  from  books  and  other  sources.  Much 
more  typewritten  or  lettered  material  may  be  projected 
at  once,  thus  making  fe\\er  breaks  in  continuity. 

Filing:  Ordinary  letter  filing  folders  provide  an  excel- 
lent device  in  which  to  store,  arrange  and  catalog  material. 

Non-breakable  quality:  It  is  not  necessary  to  put  photo- 
graphic, typewritten,  drawn  or  other  similar  materials  on 
or  between  glass.  L^nbreakable.  nonbuming  plastics  of 
cellophane  thickness  or  greater,  in  single  or  multiple 
layers,  may  be  utilized. 

SYi  X  4  and  2  .v  2  slides  may  be  projected  without 
holders  or  slide  carriers. 

The  slides  are  placed  down  on  the  projecting  surface 
as  they  would  ordinarily  be  viewed  (no  need  to  get  them 
upside  down).  In  a  darkened  room  with  the  projector 
about  15  feet  from  the  screen,  several  2x2  slides  may  be 
projected  at  one  time  for  purposes  of  comparison. 

Overlays  a  Valuable  Asset  in  Many  Courses 

The  overhead  projector  allows  for  the  ready  use  of 
overlays.    In  this  it  is  unique  among  projecting  devices. 

In  all  fields,  such  as  mathematics,  art,  industrial  arts, 
and  science,  where  step-by-step  procedures  need  illustra- 
tion, this  technique  is  peculiarly  adapted. 

The  first  step  (or  the  given  material  in  geometry,  for 
instance)  may  be  flashed  on  the  screen  and  explained, 
then  the  next  step  thumbed  into  position  in  a  different 
color,  and  so  on  until  the  completed  problem,  project,  or 
process  is  all  built  up  before  the  pupils'  eyes. 

In  classes  like  English,  industrial  arts,  biology,  and 
chemistry,  where  objects  (sentence  elements  in  the  case 
of  English)  have  to  be  labeled,  the  overlay  is  an  ideal 
medium. 

Lessons  may  be  traced  on  a  projected  basic  material 
without  disturbing  the  original  material  for  use  with  the 

Lell:  two  vi^•^\^  of  the  Beseler  Company's  Vu-Grapli,  typical  of 
the  modern  overhead  equipment.  Other  overhead-type  projec- 
tors are  avaihihle   from   Keystone  ^  iew  and  Visiialcast.

next  class.  The  lesson  is  traced  on  a  piece  of  rolled  plas- 
tic damped  over  the  original  material. 

The  same  outline  map  may  be  used  as  a  base  to  overlay 
various  colored  areas  indicating  various  physical,  political, 
economic,  or  other  features. 

Graphs,  writing  lessons,  art  techniques,  and  other  illus- 
trative material  may  be  demonstrated  in  the  same  man- 
ner. .AH  materials  are  available  for  the  next  lesson 
without  erasing  or  redoing. 

Many  other  techniques,  methods  and  uses  of  the  over- 
head projector  are  in  operation  now.  and  more  will  be 
de%-eloped  by  the  versatile  American  teacher.  Those  uses 
listed  here  should  ser\'e  to  indicate  the  wide  possibilities 
inherent  in  the  overhead  projection  field. 

In  conclusion,  overhead  projection  is  not  a  "lazy  man's 
teaching  crutch"  but  a  unique,  valuable  aid  to  doing  a 
better  job  of  helping  the  learner.  Much  work  is  necessary 
in  preparing  materials  for  this  projection  (until  somebody 
does  for  this  machine  what  filmstrip  producers  are  doing 
for  the  owners  of  filmstrip  projectors) .  But  it  is  work 
that  pays  rich  dividends  for  both  teacher  and  pupil. 


Film  Librarians  Give  Answers  to 
Typical  Management  Situations 

From   Dade   County,   Florida 

♦  iOne  problem  isi  keeping  outside  organizations  happy  in 
spite  of  the  fact  thai  you  do  not  allow  them  to  use  the 
facilities,  uhen  such  use  would  be  "the  stratc  that  breaks 
the  cameTs  back,"  but  which  would  also  be  a  really  valuable 
service  to  them.  The  only  sate  rule  is  to  say  "no"  to 
El'ERiOME,  and  then  go  out  of  your  way  to  help  them 
find  the  material  they  want  from  some  other  source.  I  believe 
such  a  course  actually  builds  friendship,  if  it  is  handled 
firmly,  consistently,  and  kindly. 


From  Frederick,  Oklahoma 

♦  Some  schools  want  to  use  the  films  for  entertainment, 
instead  of  using  them  for  educational  purposes.  However, 
we  are  eliminating  this  to  a  great  extent.  Teaching  the 
proper  use  of  the  films  has  been  our  greatest  problem. 


From  Erie,   Pennsylvania 

♦  Too  few  teachers  plan  ahead  to  take  advantage  of  advance 
bookings.  They  usually  call  at  the  last  minute  for  material 
that  has  been  previously  booked — and  regard  themselves  as 
THE   user. 


From  L\-nchburg,  Virginia 

♦  First  of  all,  have  someone  in  charge  who  is  interested,  has 
been  a  teacher,  and  knows  the  teachers'  needs.  One  who  is 
tactful  in  handling  teachers,  tireless  in  his  efforts.  He  must 
be  a  person  who  can  sell  the  program  to  the  public  as 
well  as  to  staff  members. 

It  is  an  expensive  program,  and  the  person  in  charge  must 
have  a  substantial  budget  in  order  to  succeed.  Sew  films 
should  be  added  continuously.  .Make  all  materials  available 
to  teachers  without  too  much  effort  on  their  part  because 
teachers  are  busy  people. 


From  Louisville   (Jefferson  Coimtv),  Kentucky 

♦  Only  16  mm  films  are  circulated  from  our  library.  It  has 
been  my  experience  and  that  of  others  in  the  field  that  the 
circulation  of  records,  transcriptions  and  filmstrips  is  ex- 
tremely difficult,  resulting  in  high  loss  from  damage  and 
breakage  and  since  the  cost  of  these  aids  is  relatively  low, 
we  have  adopted  a  policy  of  building  libraries  of  these  ma- 
terials within  the  individual  schools.  .  .  .  Some  of  our  schools 
have  filmstrip  libraries  of  two  to  five  hundred  filmstrips  and 
similar   libraries    of   recordings.

*  First  of  six  in  a  Mental  Health  Fibn 
Board  Series  on  Emotions  of  Evervdav 
Living,  The  Steps  of  Age  is  a  homespun 
story  of  the  problems  of  the  aging,  a  sub- 
ject which  is  receiving  increasing  atten- 
tion in  the  field  of  medicine  and  psychi- 
atry, and  on  the  screen. 

The  tlieme  may  have  been  predicated 
upon  the  thought  expressed  by  the  elderly 
central  character  who  does  the  con- 
tinuity narrative,  in  her  words  that  "grow- 
ing old  is  .«o  much  easier  if  someone  loves 
you  and  understands  you."  It  also  could 
have  been  directed  toward  the  idea  that 
a  retired  worker  who  spends  all  his  wak- 
ing hours  "heating  himself"  at  checkers- 
solitaire  is  defeating  his  happiness. 

Both  themes  are  doubtlesslv  sound  psy- 
chiatry, and  probably  generally  accepted 
by  the  laity,  but  the  resultant  scattering 
of  interest,  complicated  bv  the  "fade- 
backs"  of  retrospect,  stopped  the  results 
short  of  potentialities  for  general  audience. 
Elements  of  the  story  development  in-

Grade  school  yoiiiigstera  get  acquainted  with  Daisy  May. 

AS  the  first  of  four  truck  units  completes  day-to-day 
visits  among  the  schools  of  Los  Angeles  and  carries 
its  cargo  of  calves  and  a  cow,  the  children  often 
report  as  they  return  to  their  homes,  "Daisy  May  came  to 
our  school  today."    "Daisy  May"  is  the  name  of  the  cow. 

For  the  child  who  studies  from  pre-primers,  which  carry 
the  picture  of  a  dog  or  a  cat  on  one  page  and  a  cow  on 
the  adjoining,  both  of  about  the  same  size,  it  is  little 
wonder  that  wide  stares,  cries  of  amazement  and  squeals 
of  recognition  mean  that  first  and  second-grade  children 
for  the  first  time  in  their  lives  have  become  acquainted 
with  the  reality  of  a  cow  and  her  calves. 

Currently  four  mobile  units  are  visiting  the  schools  of 
Los  Angeles  to  carry  information  about  farms  and  rural 
life  to  the  children  of  the  city  schools.  The  four  units 
are  as  follows: 

(1)  The  Dairy  Unit — This  was  the  first  unit  put  into 
operation.  It  has  a  cow  and  a  calf,  all  the  cows  being 
named  "Daisy  May."  Everyone  just  says,  "Has  Daisy- 
May  been  to  your  school?"  The  animals  are  supplied  by 
two  or  three  of  the  large  dairies  in  this  area.  One  cow 
will  be  on  the  truck  for  probably  two  weeks,  and  then 
another  dairy  will  lend  another  cow  and  some  calves.  The 
calves  are  somewhat  of  a  problem  as  they  grow  very  fast. 

Supplies  also  are  carried  on  the  dairy  truck,  such  as 
cream  for  making  butter  and  cottage  cheese.  These  sup- 
plies are  purchased  by  the  city  schools  at  a  reduced  rate. 
When  the  unit  goes  to  a  school,  it  stays  all  morning.  The 
presentation  is  made  by  the  teacher  who  is  in  charge  of

the  truck  and  always  is  in  charge  when  the  truck  is  at  the 
school.  These  people  are  regular  certificate-holding  teach- 
ers from  our  school  system,  paid  by  the  school  system. 

(2)  Poultry  and  Livestock  Unit — Special  stock  of 
chickens,  turkeys,  a  goat,  a  rabbit,  a  lamb,  and  a  pig. 

(3)  Agriculture — ^Science  Exhibits — Consisting  of 
samples  of  grain,  soil,  plants,  etc. 

(4)  California  Wild  Life — Living  wild  animals  as 
well  as  mounted  specimens,  birds,  etc. 

We  believe  the  mobile  units  are  very  worthwhile.  In 
the  first  place,  the  mobile  dairy  unit  was  developed  be- 
cause so  many  of  our  children  never  had  seen  a  live  cow; 
they  had  no  idea  whatever  of  its  size,  or  anything  else 
about  it.  Most  of  our  children  study  the  dairy  in  the  first 
or  second  grade,  but  it  is  not  possible  for  us  to  take  all 
the  children  to  the  dairies  in  this  area.  So  we  bring  a  live 
exhibit  to  the  school.  The  children  see  the  cow  being 
milked;  they  see  butter  being  made,  and  they  are  told 
about  the  other  products  made  from  milk.  They  get  to 
pat  the  cow  and  the  calf,  and  learn  about  the  food  the 
animals  eat.  The  school  is  notified  a  long  time  ahead  and 
so  is  prepared  when  the  truck  arrives. 

The  unit  of  California  \^  ild  Life  helps  our  children 
appreciate  the  natural  things  around  them  and  in  our 
neighboring  foothills.  \^'e  have  many  children  who  never 
have  been  to  the  mountains,  or  the  seashore,  although  that 
is  hard  to  believe.  This  is  one  wav  to  bring  reality  to 
them  and,  we  hope,  give  them  some  appreciation  of  nature 
and  wild  life.  •

When  all  these  preparations  were  coiiipleted  and  prac-

trial  audiences  and  critic  groups,  the  students  were  ad-

The  present  status  of  the  ■"Tellaviewers"  is  similar  to 
that  of  the  "Traveling  Teacherettes  *  and  both  groups  are 
ready  to  perform  with  practiced  efficiency  at  a  moinent's 
notice.  They  tra\el  to  other  schools  and  clubs  in  the 
community,  each  gi\  ing  a  .'^.5-minute  performance  that  is 
specifically  educational  in  its  subject  field,  and  liij;lil\ 
entertaining  due  to  its  organization,  stvle.  and  hnniurons 
treatment. 

It  would  appear  that  in  these  vuungsters  called  ■"The 
Tellaviewers."  the  lost  art  of  lantern  slide  lecturing  has 
been  revived  and  put  to  a  new  educational  use.  Even 
inore  important  is  the  students'  participation  in  the  edu- 
cational program  and  its  effect  on  their  development  in 
morale,  confidence,  sense  of  accomplishment  and  the 
worthy  publicity  they  acquire  for  themselves  and  their 
school. 

Our  four  "Tellaviewers"  are  Cvnlhia  DeFelice,  with

FEED-O-MATIC 
CONVEYOR — 


POINTEXf 
PROJECTION   POINTER 


Fan  action  of  the  Beseler 
VACUMATIC  PLATEN'  not 
only  holds  copy  flat  during 
projection,  but  keeps  inte- 
rior of  the  projector  unus- 
ually cool. 


All    copy    is    held    absolutely   flat   on   the 
VACUMATIC   PLATEN   of  this   ultra-modern 
Beseler  VU-LYTE  during  projection,  through 
suction  created  by  a  special  fan. 

There  is  no  need  to  spend  time  pasting 
and  mounting  copy — or  inserting  copy  into  holders. 
You  simply  introduce  your  copy  onto  the  platen, 
and  there  it  "stays  put"  without  curl  or  flutter. 

As  you  handle  the  superb  new  VU-LYTE, 
you'll  appreciate  the  exceptional  advantages  of 
this  VACUMATIC  PLATEN.  It's  one  of  the 
exclusive  Beseler  developments  that  make  the 
VU-LYTE  the  most  modern  and  most  versatile 
of  visual  teaching  tools. 

Yes,  Beseler  explored  every  line  in  bringing 
you  a  projector  that  gives  top-notch  results  with 
maximum  ease  and  economy  of  operation. 
For  instance: 


1.  YOU  CAN  use  the  VU-LYTE  in  a  partiolly- 
lighted  room.  Total  darkness  is  unneces- 
sary in  order  to  obtain  clear,  sharp  images 
and  brilliant  colors — becouse  VU-LYTE  pro- 
vides   extra    illumination. 

2  YOU  CAN  feed  mixed  or  continuous  copy 
through  smoothly,  without  light  flashes, 
by  means  of  the  Beseler  fEED-O-MATIC 
metal  belt  CONVEYOR.  A  full  B'/jxIl  page 
letter  or  a  postage  stamp  can  be  projected 
with  equal  ease,  without  flutter. 


2      YOU    CAN    project   a    lighted   arrow   onto 
any  part  of  the  illustration  by  means  of 
the   new   Beseler  built-in     POINTEXt    POINTER 
— thereby   pointing  out  details  without  leav- 
ing  the  projector. 

4.    YOU    CAN    use    VU-LYTE   on    on    uneven 
surface  —  project    on    small    or    large 
screens.    In  addition  VU-LYTE  is  an  amazingly 
quiet  and  cool  operating  opaque  projector. 


These  advanced,  exclusive  features,  plus  others,  are  incorporated  in 
a  projector  that  weighs  only  35  lbs.  and  is  reduced  in  price! 

Ask  for  a  free  demonstration  of  the  precision  built  VU-L^TE  in 
your  own  projection  room  and  for  more  information  regarding  this 
truly  new  concept  in  opaque  projection  ask  for  booklet  F

The  Pageant  Projector  multiplies  teaching  effectiveness 


These  school  children  are  sharing  a  new  experience  .  .  .  watching  on  film 
how  people  acmallr  live  in  a  far-off  foreign  country.  Children  learn  better 
and  teaching  is  easier  when  von  use  movies  .  .  .  whether  black-and-white 
or  color,  silent  or  sound. 

.\nd  30U  w-ill  find  the  16mm.  Kodascope  Pageant  Sound  Projector  your 
best  friend  when  using  movies  in  your  daily  curriculum.  A  limited  film 
library  need  not  hani|>er  you,  because  thousands  of  "ready-made"'  films  on 
almost  any  subject  you  can  name  are  available  from  hundreds  of  widely 
located  rental  libraries  todav. 

Vou  will  also  find  the  Pageant  Projector  easy  to  of>erate  .  .  .  simple 
to  thread  and  set  up  for  classroom  use.  .\ny  sixth  or  seventh  grader  can 
handle  the  presentation  for  vou.  Dejjendable  performance  means  trouble- 
free  presentations.  The  optical  system  always  projects  the  sharpest  and 
clearest  of  pictures  and  a  unique  sound  svstem  has  controlled  tone  volume 
for  best  of  fidelity.  Pupils  are  more  sure  to  hear  and  understand  the  nar- 
ration clearlv  whether  from  sound  tracks  or  from  the  microphone  or 
phonograph  attachment  used  with  silent  films. 

Lifetime  lubrication  means  no  more  oiling  problems,  makes  your  film 
prints  last  longer.  The  Pageant  and  speaker,  in  a  single,  fKjrtable  case,

BERTRAM  was  chosen  to  project

reproduces.  "Perfectly  fascinating,

OF  MEETINGS  AND  T.V. 

*  Members  of  the  Department  nf 
Audio-Visual  Instruction  I  NEA  I  plan 
to  gather  in  Boston  and  other  groups 
are  headed  for  the  School  .Adminis- 
trator's meetings  in  St.  Louis  and  Los 
Angeles  during  February  and  March. 
That's  the  immediate  calendar  of  spe- 
cial interest  to  audio-visual  directors 
and  classroom  film  users. 

Emphasis  on  educational  television 
continues  to  dominate  manv  of  these 
local  and  regional  gatherings  of  audio- 
visual groups.  The  issue  here  is  that 
the  apparent  necessity  of  setting  aside 
a  fair  percentage  of  channels  for 
future  t.v.  use  by  education  has  been 
interpreted  by  many  as  meaning  that 
the  use  of  those  channels  was  also 
immediate.  Much  of  the  controversv 
and  the  grave  danger  of  wasteful 
spending  could  be  removed  from  this 
situation  by  assuring  education  of  the 
channels  for  at  least  five  or  ten  vears 
ahead  without  requiring  immediate 
operation  of  such  facilities. 

No  single  institution  or  bonafide 
educational  group  has  yet  tested  the 
full  time  ownership  and  operation  of 
telecasting  facilities  for  purely  educa- 
tional programming.  Iowa  State's 
WOI-TV  is  a  commercial  operation 
with  continued  dominance  of  all  that 
education  deems  bad  in  present  com- 
mercial program  fare.  That  is  still 
the  key  question  of  1952  in  educa- 
tional telecasting:  uhy  does  WOI-TV 
continue  to  telecast  Berle,  Godfrey. 
Captain  Video,  et  al? 

At  the  recent  School  Broadcast  Con- 
ference in  Chicago,  your  editor  met 
Mr.  James  MacPherson,  DAVI  secre- 
tary, in  a  brief  debate  on  this  subject. 
It  is  Mr.  MacPherson's  contention 
that  his  FCC  testimony  favoring  edu- 
cational t.v.  for  classroom  film  pro- 
jection  was  quoted   "out   of   context." 


■*■  The  Instructional  Film  Reseanli 
Program,  located  at  PeniisyKania 
State  College  and  sponsored  b)  the 
L  .  S.  Xavv.  has  set  forth  10  principles 
'  overnins  film  influence  in  the  learn- 
ing-teaching  situation.  They  should  be 
of  interest  to  all  who  use  audio-visual 
materials. 

1.  Films  are  of  greatest  influence 
vvhen  their  content  reinforces  and  ex- 
tends previous  knowledge  and  atti- 
tudes. The  converse  of  this  is  also 
true. 

2.  The  influence  of  a  film  is  specific, 
not  general. 

3.  The  influence  of  a  motion  picture 
increases  as  the  content  of  the  film  is 
directly  relevant  to  the  audience  re- 
action it  is  intended  to  influence. 

4.  Reactions  to  a  motion  picture 
vary  with  film  literacy,  abstract  in- 
telligence, formal  education,  age,  sex, 
previous  experiezice  in  the  subject,  and 
prejudice  or  predisposition  of  the  audi- 
ence. 

5.  The  influence  of  the  motion  pic- 
ture is  primarily  in  the  picture  and 
secondarily  in  the  accompanying  lan- 
guage and  or  music  and  is  relatively 
unaffected  by  the  "slickness"  of  pro- 
duction. 

6.  Response  to  motion  pictures  is 
selective  in  terms  of  the  familiarity 
and  significance  to  the  audience  of 
the  pictorial  context  in  which  the  ac- 
tion takes  place. 

7.  Response  to  a  motion  picture  is 
n'ost  intense,  efficient,  and  predictable 
when  it  shows  actions  from  the  stand- 
point  of  the  trainee. 

8.  Rate  of  development  influences 
the  impact  of  a  motion  picture  on  its 
audience. 

9.  Instructional  te(hni(|ues  built  in- 
to the  film  or  applied  by  the  instructor 
substantially  increase  the  effectiveness 
of  a   film. 

10.  The  relation  of  efficiency  oi 
learning  performance  of  a  group  to 
a  film  or  filmstrip  exhibited  is  influ- 
enced by  the  leadership  of  the  instruc- 
tor who  uses  the  aid  as  well  as  bv  the 
effectiveness  of  the  aid  itself.

Two  New  California  Pictures 
Study  Practical  Drama  and  Jazz 

♦  Films  that  illustrate  practical  tech- 
niques of  the  theatre  are  now  avail- 
able from  University  of  California's 
educational  film  sales  department.  De- 
scribed in  a  pamphlet  recently  pub- 
lished, the  films  are  designed  as  an 
introduction  to  theatre  craft  for  stu- 
dents of  dramatic  art. 

Four  Ways  to  Drama  explores  the 
comparative  advantages  and  disad- 
vantages of  the  four  media  of  dramatic 
art:  stage,  radio,  television  and  mo- 
tion pictures.  Every  stage  of  building 
a  flat,  from  the  blueprint  to  covering 
the  piece  with  cloth,  is  described  in 
One  Way  to  Build  a  Flat.  Make-Vp 
jar  the  Theatre  illustrates  in  color 
the  step-by-step  processes  of  applying 
stage  make-up.  Color  and  Light 
uses  animation  to  demonstrate  the 
principles  of  additive  and  subtrac- 
tive  color  processes  in  relation  to 
white  light.  Making  Theatrical  Wigs 
dscribes  the  entire  process  of  this 
little-known  craft.  The  sixth  film 
in  the  series.  Projecting  Motion  Pic- 
tures, covers  a  familiar  subject  that 
goes  beyond  the  purely  mechanical  as- 
pects of  projection.  Here  the  stress 
is  on  the  relationship  between  the  audi- 
ence and  the  various  elements  of  pro- 
jecting— sating,  screen,  loudspeaker, 
etc.

Teen-Age  Menace:  Drug  Addiction 

A  SOBER,  REALISTIC  NEW  FILM  MEETS  THE  CHALLENGE 


*  The  hazards  of  narcotic  drugs,  the 
causes  and  physiological  effects  of 
drug  addiction,  derivation  of  the  vari- 
ous drugs,  and  treatment  for  those 
addicted  to  drugs  is  the  content  of  a 
new  22  minute,  black  and  white  edu- 
cational motion  picture.  Drug  Addic- 
tion, released  by  Encyclopaedia  Britan- 
nica  Films  and  produced  in  coopera- 
tion with  the  Juvenile  Protective  Asso- 
ciation and  the  Wieboldt  Foundation 
of  Chicago. 

Designed  to  present  the  facts  about 
the  growing  menace  of  drug  addiction, 
particularly  among  the  youth  of  our 
country.  Drug  Addiction,  it  is  hoped, 
will  leave  a  deep  impression  on  young 
minds  and  thus  aid  in  the  national 
effort  to  provide  information  which 
will  help  combat  this  shocking  post- 
war problem  which  has  become  so 
prevalent  within  the  past  few  years, 
Walter  Colmes,  EBFilms'  president 
said. 

For  Scliool  and  Coiiinuinitv 

Drug  Addiction  is  intended  for 
three  areas  in  the  high  school  curric- 
ulum— health  and  hygiene,  problems 
of  democracy,  and  guidance  and  also 
for  college  and  adult  levels,  for  dis- 
cussion groups  such  as  church  forums, 
for  groups  interested  in  public  health, 
and  for  service  clubs  and  similar  or- 
ganizations, Drug  Addiction  is  closely 
related  to  such  other  EBFilms  as 
Alcoholism.  Alcohol  and  the  Human 
Body,  and  Wastage  of  Human  Re- 
sources. 

The  film  gives  a  survey  of  the  entire 
problem  of  narcotics  addiction  from 
several  aspects:  from  the  point  of  view 
of  individual  education ;  as  a  public 
health  problem:  as  a  law  enforcement 
matter;  and  as  a  problem  of  rehabili- 
tating existing  addicts.  Woven  through 
this  factual  presentation  is  the  story 
of  Marty  Demelon.  a  youthful  addict. 

Drugs  Unrelenting  Hold 

Marty  is  first  seen  in  a  courtroom 
where  he  is  being  held  for  stealing  a 
clock  which  he  intended  to  sell  in  or- 
der to  purchase  more  drugs.  He  tells 
the  judge  his  story  of  how  he  was 
introduced  first  to  marijuana  and  later 
to  heroin  by  a  "friend."  He  soon  be- 
comes addicted  to  the  drug  and  must 
resort  to  stealing  and  selling  what 
possessions    he    has    in    order    to    buv 


more  drugs  to  avoid  the  dreaded 
withdrawal  sickness.  His  whole  life 
becomes  centered  about  the  drug.  Be- 
cause of  his  changed  personality  he 
MO  longer  associates  with  his  former 
friends.  This  sequence  describes  many 
symptoms  which  will  help  parents 
recognize  possible  drug  addiction. 
Animated  draw  ings  describe  the  source 
of  the  major  drugs,  heroin  and  other 
opiates,  marijuana,  and  cocaine,  and 
their  effect   upon   the  body. 

In  concluding  scenes  Marty  is  seen 
undergoing  treatment.  He  returns  to 
his  old  environment  but  is  shunned 
by  his  old  friends  who  still  consider 
him   an   addict. 

Strongest  Plea  to  Youth 

Drug  Addiction  directs  its  strongest 
plea  to  young  people  and  urges  them 
never  to  experiment  with  drugs  in  any 
way.  The  film  points  out  that  only 
by  avoiding  drugs  completely  can 
every  person  be  sure  that  he  will  re- 
main safe  from  a  vicious  habit  which 
enslaves  not  only  one's  body  but  his 
soul  as  well. 

Collaborators  for  Drug  Addiction 
were  the  Juvenile  Protective  Associa- 
tion of  Chicago,  a  social  agency  which 
has  handled  hundreds  of  cases  of  drug 
addiction  among  young  people,  and 
the  Wieboldt  Foundation,  a  philan- 
thropic institution.  Dr.  Andrew  C.  Ivy, 
Ph.D.,  M.D..  acted  as  consultant  on 
the  film.  Dr.  Ivy  is  a  vice  president 
of  the  University  of  Illinois  and  head 
of  its  professional  schools. 

Facts  About  the  Picture 

Drug  Addiction  has  a  running  time 
of  22  minutes.  It  may  be  purchased  for 
S95  from  Encyclopaedia  Britannica 
Films,  Wilmette,  Illinois,  or  from  any 
of  eight  EBF  preview  and  rental  li- 
braries in  New  York:  Boston:  Birm- 
ingham, Michigan;  Atlanta;  Dallas; 
Portland,  Oregon ;  Los  Angeles,  or  Box 
358.  Wilmette.  Illinois.  This  film  may 
be  rented  for  $4.50  for  one  to  three 
days'  use  and  $1.00  per  day  thereafter. 

Commentary:  There's  nothing  "Sen- 
sational" about  EBFilms'  Drug  Addic- 
tion:  in  fact,  the  film  leans  toward  a 
sober,  completely  factual  but  terribly 
convincing  presentation  of  this  all-too- 
frequent  problem.  An  important  con- 
tribution to  the  documentation  of  this 
serious  menace.

"NEW  TOOLS  FOR  LEARNING 

All  Groups   Interested   in  Audio-Visual  Progress  Can  Use  This  Film 


TO  BRING  both  lay  and  professional  audiences  a 
better  understanding  of  the  use  and  purpose  of  edu- 
cational films  in  school  programs,  the  audio-visual 
field  has  at  long  last  a  completely  neutral  and  objective 
studv  of  these  "new"  tools,  appropriately  titled  New  Tools 
for  Learning. 

A  Chicago  industry  premiere  in  January  brought  uni- 
versal commendation  for  the  18-minute  16mm  sound  mo- 
tion picture.  \eii  Tools  for  Learning  is  presented  by  the 
Lniversity  of  Chicago's  Center  for  the  Study  of  .\udio- 
\  isual  Education  and  was  a  highly  cooperative  enterprise 
from  the  start.  The  idea  first  took  shape  in  1949  and  in 
the  early  months  of  1950.  the  University  set  up  an  advisory 
committee  to  supervise  the  planning  and  production. 

Aeiv  Tools  shows  the  relationship  of  national  interest  to 
that  of  specific  aid  to  education;  the  film  establishes  the 
fact  audio-visual  education  has  reached  a  stage  of  signifi- 


cant development  requiring  professional  leadership  at  the 
local,  slate,  and  national  levels. 

Incidentally,  much  of  the  film  was  photographed  on 
classroom  location  in  schools  and  colleges  throughout  the 
countrv.  Cooperation  of  leading  producers  and  government 
sources  helped  make  A'pji-  Tools  an  outstanding  review  of 
progress  in  the   audio-visual   field. 

The  motion  picture  will  be  distributed  on  a  quantity 
print  order  basis  only  by  the  Center  for  the  Study  of 
Audio-Visual  Education.  L  niversity  of  Chicago.  Organiza- 
tions may  purchase  prints  from  this  source  in  larger 
quantities  at  approximately  print  cost:  individual  prints 
may  be  secured  from  regular  dealer  channels  later.  At 
least  one  major  16mm  projector  manufacturer  has  already 
purchased  a  large  number  of  prints  which  it  plans  to  use  in 
a  public  relations  program.  There  is  no  identification  of 
any  commercial  source  or  producer  in  the  film  itself.

Working  toward  those  important  first  words  of  speech. 


LITTLE  CAROL  was  born  deaf.  At' first,  no  one 
noticed  anything  wrong,  but  one  day  her  mother 
realized  that  Carol  could  hear  nothing.  A  long 
time  ago,  this  could  have  meant  but  one  thing — she  would 
be  deaf  and  dumb,  and  shunned,  ahnost  as  a  mental  defec- 
tive, for  the  rest  of  her  life.  As  things  are  working  out, 
however,  Carol  can  look  forward  to  a  happy,  constructive 
life,  but  she  will  need  understanding  and  years  of  training 
to  take  her  place  in  the  world  of  tlie  hearing. 

How  she  begins  this  training  and  what  she  can  expect 
to  accomplish  are  told  in  one  of  the  most  gripping  and 
compassionate  films  on  the  problems  of  handicapped 
people  ever  produced.  Sponsored  by  the  Lexington  School 
for  the  Deaf,  and  produced  by  Campus  Film  Productions, 
That  the  Deaf  May  Speafc.  42  min.  color,  has  already  won 
wide   acclaim   from   dozens   of   newspapers,   child   welfare

authorities  and  government  officials  in  the  few  short  weeks 
since  its  release. 

Carol,  along  with  manv  other  children  who  were  born 
deaf  or  who  became  deaf  before  learning  to  speak,  is  just  a 
normal  child  at  the  Lexington  School — outside,  she  would 
be  a  "special"  child,  a  pitiful,  deaf  child.  At  the  school 
children  live  together  all  week  (they  go  home  week-ends) 
and  work  together  at  the  main  problem  of  their  lives — 
learning  how  to  speak  and  to  understand  the  speech  of 
others.  They  iimst  start  the  long  travail  in  earliest  infancy 
for  if  speech  training  is  not  begun  early  it  may  never  be 
learned  at  all.  No  sign  language  is  taught  at  the  school 
and  none  is  permitted.  Training  in  speech  and  lip  reading 
is  made  a  part  of  every  subject,  for  the  children  are  taught 
a  full  school  curriculum  rather  than  just  that  concerned 
with  overcoming  the  handicap. 

Wliat  makes  That  the  Deaf  May  Speak  a  wonderful 
experience  to  watch  is  the  acting  of  the  deaf  children  and 
particularly  three-year-old  Carol.  The  New  )  ork  Times 
called  her  performance  one  "that  would  put  most  Holly- 
wood starlets  to  shame."  Other  comments  described  the 
picture  as  "an  artistic  triumph."  a  "good  bet  for  an 
Academy  Award.  '  a  "standard  against  which  all  films  of 
its  class  should  be  judged."  It  is  all  of  that.  But  it  was  not 
made  this  way  by  lucky  chance.  The  children  at  the 
school,  like  all  children,  are  self-conscious,  perverse,  and 
sometimes  possessed  by  tantrums.  \et.  some  observers  of 
the  finished  film  felt  sure  that  it  must  have  been  photo- 
graphed by  "candid  camera"  techniques  (which  it  wasn't), 
so  lacking  are  the  children  in  camera  consciousness.  Only, 
a  deep  love  for  children,  the  patience  of  Job  and  50.000 
feet    of    film    enabled    producer-director    Nat    Campus    to

The  day  little  Carol.  Mike  and  Bea  sa\  their  first  words 
seems  truly  a  mighty  triumph  in  the  film.  It  is  a  wonderful 
moment  for  the  audience,  too.  In  scenes  of  the  upper 
classes  in  the  school  we  can  see  tlie  direction  of  the  chil- 
dren's efiForts.  Carol's  speech,  like  that  of  most  congenitalh 
deaf  people,  mav  never  he  eas\  to  understand  or  |)Ieasant 
to  listen  to.  but  what  a  tremendous  accomplishment  it  is 
that  the  speech  she  will  never  hear  can  be  learned  at  all. 

The  narration,  written  by  Ralph  Schoolman,  is  surely 
one  of  this  top  film  writer's  best  scripts.  It  has  the  intimate 
and  moving  qualitv  of  telling  the  storv  as  if  spoken  to

bilities cannot  be  ignored  as  we  go 
forward  to  our  goal  of  universal  un- 
derstanding in  an  ever-broadening,  yet 
shrinking,  world. 

The  expanding  use  of  audio-visual 
materials  in  the  schools  and  in  com- 
munities points  to  needs  in  program- 
ming. Familiarity  with  equipment  and 
availability  of  materials  extends  utili- 
ization  through  schools,  homes,  and 
communities.  Classroom  presentations, 
student  and  adult  leadership  group 
meetings,  and  many  community  co- 
operative projects  have  the  idea  in 
focus  through  use  of  one  or  several  of 
the  types  of  A/V  materials. 

New  Audio- Visual  Centers 

In  schools,  the  central  source  for 
these  materials  is  no  longer  a  picture 
or  record  collection  or  a  place  where 
equipment  can  be  secured.  It  may  be 
called  a  film  Library.  It  may  be  an 
A/V  Center  with  several  or  all  types 
of  A/V  materials.  It  may  be  a  Cur- 
riculum Center  with  the  equipment 
and  materials,  and  also  have  planned 
programming  with  experienced  person- 
nel busily  engaged  in  organizing  eval- 
uations, selections,  and  the  many  cor- 
relations for  expanded  use  of  materials 
possessed  and  for  new  materials  being 
considered  as  desirable  for  the  area 
being  served. 

The  establishment  of  Centers  for  the 
classification,  correlation,  and  circula- 
tion of  audio-visual  materials,  requires 
cooperative  leadership.  With  a  few 
items,  the  need  for  programming  is 
apparent  to  the  ones  who  foresee 
growth  and  wish  to  avoid  frequent 
reorganization  as  that  growth  takes 
place.  With  the  many  items  of  all 
types  of  A/V  materials  to  consider, 
programming  becomes  a  necessity  and 


relegating  the  details  to  the  impurtanl 
position  of  providing  service,  clears 
the  way  for  expanded  utilization. 

Availability  and  expanded  utiliza- 
tion are  important  factors  when  justi- 
fication of  ownership  is  considered. 
The  ownership  of  present  and  of  future 
A  V  materials  places  a  responsibility 
of  system,  of  programming,  of  service, 
squarely  on  the  shoulders  of  those  who 
would  see  the  audio-visual  program 
advance  with  adequate  finance.  An 
adequate  budget  will  seldom  precede 
the  service  nor  will  it  be  maintained 
without  approaching  anticipated  re- 
sults. 

Many  schools  have  had  some  expe- 
rience with  one,  several,  or  perhaps 
all  the  types  of  A/V  materials.  Some 
have  established  Centers.  Materials 
are  available  from  these  sources  and 
service  requests  indicate  growth.  Pat- 
terns for  functional  A/V  programming 
should  anticipate  additions  of  more 
materials  and,  plans  for  service  in  clas- 
sification, correlation,  and  circulation 
can  provide  for  a  system  which  is 
functional  at  the  outset  and  which  will 
expand  without  the  necessity  of  fre- 
quent, costly  reorganization.  The 
Triple  C  System  is  devised  to  handle 
any  or  all  the  types  of  materials:  Dra- 
matizations, Planned  Field  Trips,  Ex- 
hibits, Demonstrations,  Motion  Pic- 
lures,  Still  Pictures,  Recordings,  Radio 
&  T/V  Experiences  and  Scripts,  Vis- 
ual and  Verbal  Symbols. 

Advantages  of  Triple  C  System 
The  Triple  C  System  is  simple.  It 
favors  utilization.  It  motivates  ex- 
pansion. It  services  all  types  of  A/V 
materials  and  can  handle  equipment. 
It  minimizes  details.  It  permits  and 
promotes  correlations.  It  eliminates 
repeated  catalog  and  supplement  ref- 
erence expense.  It  localizes  identifica- 
tion, content,  coverage,  availability, 
booking,  and  all  such  references  at 
one  place.  This  avoids  "criss-cross"  or 
"back  and  forth"  work  requirements 
for  personnel  at  the  Center  and  thus 
retains  the  simplicity  needed  where 
help  is  limited. 

The  Triple   C   System  is  complete. 


The  consideration  at  the  A/V  Center 
or  Curriculum  Center  and  at  all  points 
of  use  is  a  consideration  of  reference. 
There  is  reference  to  data  such  as 
source,  type,  cost,  length,  inspection, 
invoice  date,  title  and  physical  data 
of  items.  This  reference  is  made  in 
complete  form  at  the  time  of  accession. 
The  use  level  and  purposes  and  the 
evaluations  made  of  the  item  become  a 
])art  of  the  record.  There  are  provisions 
for  correlations  in  other  areas  to  be 
noted  on  the  original  reference  card, 
and  actual  correlation  cards  are  made 
for  the  item  as  in-service  use  points 
the   need   for   these  references. 

Local  Integration  With  Studies 
The  Triple  C  System  permits  local 
integration  of  materials  with  the  cur- 
riculum, and  the  reference  cards  are 
so  devised  that  local  interpretation  of 
study  guide  helps  and  presentations 
can  be  composed  and  recorded. 
These  local  interpretations  can  relate 
the  materials  to  specific  uses,  and  com-  ■ 
bined  with  useful  portions  of  the  com- 
mercially produced  guide,  the  result- 
ing composite  can  provide  the  appli- 
cable utilization  points  suggested  by 
the  potential  user  as  well  as  those  sug- 
gested by  the  producer  or  collaborator. 
This  composite  guide  becomes  a  part 
of  the  complete  reference  for  the  item 
as  it  is  placed  on  the  standard  5x8 
classification  card  and  on  any  corre- 
lation cards  relating  to  the  item.  This 
standard  card  size  is  large  enough  to 
accept  all  the  data  necessary  for  all 
references  in  classification,  correla-  Jk 
tion,  and  circulation.  • 

There  are  many  evident  advantages 
to  having  all  references  complete  on 
a  single  card,  and  those  who  have  at- 
tempted to  file  the  many  odd  size 
sruides  available  for  some  films  and 
filmstrips,  are  aware  of  the  difficulties 
of  housing  the  guides,  difficulties  of 
securing  more  than  a  review  of  con- 
tent and  less  tlian  a  text  on  the  sub- 
ject, and  finally  are  aware  of  the  diffi- 
culties of  finding  out  what  was  where. 
Locally  composed  guides  for  all  items 
of  all  types  accumulates  the  advan- 
tages and  disposes  of  the  weaknesses

of  "ready  niaiie"  references  ami  allows 
effective  cooperation  in  local  curric- 
uliiiii  profiraniniing.  Evaluation  of  the 
material  and  integration  to  the  lur- 
riculuni  can  thus  be  complete  ami 
precise  and  those  who  share  in  this 
programming  will  share  in  a  type  of 
in-per\  ice  training  that  is  meaningful 
and    productive. 

The  duplication  ot  this  complete 
reference  is  simplv  a  matter  of  cop\ - 
ing  in  a  siiif;U-  typing  lo  a  Ki;aI)V 
Master  which  has  the  form  of  the 
card  imprinted.  Reproduction  is  as- 
loniplished  hv  placing  this  Rkai)\ 
Master  on  a  spirit  dupliialion  ma- 
chine and  feeding  in  blank  card  stock. 
Both  the  form  and  typed  material  on 
a  card  is  the  result,  and  as  manv 
copies  of  this  original  can  be  run  as 
may  be  desired  ...  or  if  procedures 
are  followed  as  recommended  for  a 
school  svs'.em,  there  would  be  lico 
cards  furnished  to  each  use  point  or 
place  where  references  to  the  Center's 
offerings  are  made.  One  card  would 
be  placed  in  alphabetical  order  in  the 
alphabetical  file  and  the  otlier  card 
would  be  placed  in  numerical  order  in 
the  numerical  file  where  references 
are  filed  by  subject  coverage.  The 
immediate  availability  of  complete  ref- 
erences at  nominal  cost  is  possible 
with  such  cataloging  procedures. 

Permanent  and  Current  Files 

The  Triple  C  System  is  permanent 
and  always  current.  The  alphabetical 
and  numerical  (subject  area  I  files  are 
elastic  for  as  items  are  classified  as 
new  offerings  from  the  Center,  imme- 
diate reference  and  utilization  is  made 
possible  simply  by  placement  of  the 
5x8  card  in  each  file.  Removal  of  anv 
item  from  circulation  is  the  reverse  or 
simple  removal  of  the  reference  card 
from  each  file.  The  inventory  is  as 
current  as  yesterdav's  invoices.  The 
necessity,  expense,  delay,  and  person- 
nel time  for  re-organization  of  printed 
catalogs  and  supplements  is  completely 
removed. 

The  booking  sheet  I  at  the  Center) 
is  so  devised  that  it  "over-rides"  the 
permanent  card  and  thus  requires 
no  duplicate  reference,  and  by  simple 
reversals,  provides  booking  for  the 
item  and  utilization  record  of  the  item 
for  4  years.  Preparation  for  booking 
and  use  for  another  4  years  is  merely  a 
matter  of  insertion  of  a  new  booking 
sheet  over  the  permanent  Master  card 
at  the  Center.  The  four  year  record  of

use  is  highly  important  tti  those  who 
justify  budgets  on  utilization.  The 
time  saved  at  the  Center  can  best  be 
estimated  li\  those  who  have  spent 
weeks  on  \  early  reorganization  in 
preparation  for  handling  another 
year's  bookings  and  have  had  to  delay

because   of   "re-tooling"   requirements. 


The  permanent  Classification  card 
and  booking  .sheet  at  the  Center  is 
housed  in  visible  filing  which  permits 
\  icwing  of  all  reference  numbers  and

CLASSIFICATION 

■k  The  item  is  referred,  appraised,  se- 
lected for  evaluation,  and  secured  as 
an  addition  to  the  offerings  from  the 
Center.  The  Director,  with  his  cur- 
riculum grou[)  can  determine  the  sub- 
ject area  where  the  item  will  be  of 
greatest  value  according  to  its  cover- 
age and  real  content  as  it  relates  to  the 
local  curriculum.  A  permanent  Clas- 
sification number  is  then  assigned  to 
the  item.  It  is  a  composite  of  prefix 
symbol  for  notation  of  the  TYPE,  the 
subject  coverage  number,  and,  a  dash 
e.xtension  number  for  notation  of  the 
inventory  of  items  possessed  in  this 
(lass. 

TYPES  of  A/V  materials  can  be 
indicated  h\  prefixes  used  with  the 
classification  number.  These  will 
serve  to  suggest  devices  needed  for  use 
of  the  different  types,  the  coverage  that 
can  be  expected,  the  presentation  situa- 
tions involved  and  allow  all  A   V  ma- 


terials   to    lollow    a    like    iialtcrn    in    a

of  this  TYPE  for  this  subject  coverage. 

Type  of  material,  coverage  from 
general  to  specific,  and  inventory  are 
combined  for  functional  references  in 
this  manner  for  any  item  as  it  is  ac- 
quired and  accessioned.  The  locally 
composed  evaluation  and  study  guide 
and  the  physiial  data  of  the  item  is 
typed  to  the  MASTER  CARD.  Dupli- 
cates for  alphabetical  and  numerical 
files  are  run  on  the  spirit  duplicator. 
Two  cards  of  each  reference  are  fur- 
nished to  all  use  points.  The  READ\ 
MASTER  "ditto"  permits  this  printing 
at  low  cost,  on  equipment  owned  by 
most  schools,  and  prepares  references 
so  that  immediate  use  can  be  made  of 
new   items. 

At  the  Center,  the  booking  sheet  is 
housed  with  the  MASTER  CARD  in 
visible  files  with  cards  numericallv  ar- 
ranged. The  clerk  has  no  "back  track- 
ing" or  "criss-cross"  work  in  booking 
A  forward  movement  through  the  nu- 
merically arranged  listings  is  all  that 
is  required  to  locate  the  item,  and  to 
know  its  availability,  coverage,  evalua- 
tion, and  all  data  necessary  for  service 
from  the  Center. 

At  the  service  or  use  point,  the 
teacher  can  look  in  the  alphabetical 
file  listing  or  the  numerical  file  listing 
and  from  either,  can  secure  the  classi- 
fication call  number  for  requisition. 
If  she  chooses  to  use  the  numerical 
listing,   she  will  find  all  materials  of

all  the  types  for  main  subject  cover- 
ages within  a  section  of  the  file.  For 
example  .  .  .  the  Art  Instructor  would 
need  only  concern  herself  with  listings 
700-799  to  cover  all  MASTER  listings 
and  CORRELATED  listings  dealing 
with  Fine  Arts.  This  eliminates  the 
necessity  of  going  through  the  com- 
plete  inventory  of   the  Center. 

CORRELATION 

"k  An  item  found  to  be  useful  in  other 
areas  beyond  the  original  class  in 
which  it  is  listed  can  be  listed  as  a 
correlation.  This  expands  utilization. 
An  assignment  of  a  correlation  num- 
ber, duplication  of  the  original  data 
from  the  Master  Card,  and  this  ref- 
erence supplied  on  a  vellow  correlation 
card  for  placement  in  each  number 
file,  permits  correlations  of  all  mate- 
rials. These  references  of  correlations 
appear  in  proper  number  order  icith 
the  section  listings.  These  cards  will 
be  filed  numerically  by  correlation 
number  but  each  carries  the  original 
call  number  also  for  requisition  pur- 
poses. 

A  correlation  number  C727-1  on  a 
\  ellow  card  would  indicate  to  the 
teacher  that  the  item  has  utilization  in 
ART  and  the  classification  number, 
MP942-L  on  the  same  card  would  in- 
dicate original  reference  (motion  pic- 
lure.  English  History,  item  1  in  this 
subject    area  I .     She    would     use     the 


SHIPPING    LABEL 
OUTGOING    CCC   1 


MP942-1  as  call  number  to  requisition 
the  material.  As  additional  uses  for 
the  item  would  be  evaluated,  addi- 
tional correlation  cards  would  be  is- 
sued so  that  extended  utilization  of  all 
materials  is  a  matter  of  evaluation 
and  curriculum  study. 

Anyone  can  immediately  select  items 
dealing  with  any  desired  coverage  or 
subject  area.  This  allows  for  individ- 
ual or  group  study  with  The  Idea  in 
Focus.  Selection  by  types  is  as  easy 
as  reading  the  prefixes  of  the  numbers. 
At  the  Center,  the  Director  or  others 
can  know  at  anv  time  the  total  inven- 
tory and  also  the  inventory  by  types 
for  any  subject  coverage. 

CIRCULATION 

'k  The  item  is  requested  by  number. 
If  several  items  are  requested,  they  are 
arranged  on  the  requisition  sheet  in 
numerical  order.  Availabilitv  can  be 
determined  at  the  Center  with  a  "once 
through"  checking,  and  the  booking 
of  those  items  available  for  the  dates 
wanted  is  completed  by  drawing  a 
line  through  the  exact  dates  on  the 
over  riding  booking  sheet,  placing  the 
borrower's  name  or  code  on  the  sheet, 
and  drawing  a  circle  around  the  call 
number  of  the  item  on  the  requisition 
sheet  to  indicate  completed  booking. 
The  clerk  is  immediately  able  to  con- 
firm   booking. 

This  confirmation  as  well  as  all  nec- 
essary shipping  control  labels  results 
with  one  typing,  with  the  booker's 
confirmed   requisition   sheet   as   refer-

ence.  Five  forms:  Shipping  Label, 
Return  Label,  Confirmation,  In- 
ventory Control  Record,  and  Uti- 
lization Report  are  prepared  with 
this  one  typing  operation.  The  last 
three  carry  dates  of  booking  data  with 
complete  Shipping  Date.  Dales  For 
Use.  and  Dale  Due  Ba^k  and  all  forms 
carry  the  Classification  Call  Number 
and  the  Title  of  the  item  or  items  to 
be  included  in  the  planned  pick-U]i  or 
shipment. 

At  the  time  of  typing,  the  CON- 
FIRMATION COPY  is  sent  to  the 
person  making  the  request  for  the  ma- 
terials. This  record  will  pennit  ]>lan- 
ning  at  the  use  point  and  allow  local 
progranuning  to  be  completed.  The 
other  four  labels  are  fastened  together 
with  a  paper  clip  and  filed  in  the  ship- 
ping file  in  proper  SHIPPING  date 
order.  At  the  time  of  shipping,  these 
forms  are  taken  from  the  OUT  file, 
and  the  Shipping  Label  (gummed  #1) 
is  placed  on  the  package;  the  Return 
Label  (gummed  ^2)  and  the  Utiliza- 
tion Report  Form  are  placed  in  the 
package:  and  the  Inventory  Control 
Record  (#4)  is  placed  in  the  IN  file 
at  proper  RETURN  DATE  order.

can  be  controlled.  All  five  copies 
carry  reference  number  and  title  of

mine contents,  or  "back-forth"  work 
at  either  the  Center  or  use  point. 

INSTALLATION 

"k  The  flexibility  of  the  system  allows 
for  selection  of  materials  and  equip- 
ment to  meet  the  size,  service  and 
budget  of  the  area  to  be  served.  Hous- 
ing of  Classification  cards  w  ith  Book- 
ing sheets  is  possible  with  files  of  the 
sectional  type,  with  additions  of  sec- 
tions as  needs  develop,  however,  the 
10  drawer  capacity  630  items  or  the  17 
drawer  1071  capacity  type  file  is  the 
better  choice  if  needs  can  be  antici- 
pated. 

The  equipment  and  supplies  to 
serve  all  use  points  can  be  acquired 
as  the  program  grows  and  while  the 
Center  is  operating  if  desired  and  the 
extension  of  the  service  for  reference 
purposes  can  thus  remove  the  necessity 
of  catalog  listings  and  supplements.  In

Film  Control  Simplified 

Kardex    System    Lsed    in    California 
Schools — Desrrilied  by   L.  T.   Bolger 

A  I'DIO-VISL'AL  materials  have  served  a  successful 
/-^  apprenticeship  to  the  classroom  teacher.  The  value 
of  films  in  the  classroom  is  recognized  and  accepted. 
As  a  result,  entire  audio-visual  departments  have  been 
growing  bv  leaps  and  bounds.  New  film  liliraries  are  mak- 
ing their  appearance  in  schools  throughout  the  nation  — 
and  with  the  new  libraries  come  new-  problems  in  record- 
keeping, because  anv  Upe  of  expansion  alwavs  presents 
difficulties    of  control. 

A  growing  audio-visual  department  must  have  an  accur- 
ate, speedy  and  yet  easily  expandable  system  of  opera- 
tion. Schools  everywhere  are  now  confronted  with  just 
such    "growing    pains." 

The  city  schools  of  Pasadena.  Glendale  and  Santa 
Monica  are  not  immune  to  the  audio-visual  departmental 
growth  problems.  These  three  school  systems  soon  dis- 
covered that  their  vertical  card  file  system  for  booking 
film  requests  was  inadequate  under  the  increased  work 
load.  The  system  was  slow,  inaccurate,  and  unwieldy. 
Film  libraries  in  all  three  groups  of  city  schools  were 
Mvamped  with  requests  from  the  various  teachers  and 
schools    for    reels  from   their   film   library.     It   became   in-

creasingly  difficult  to  operate  efticientl)  under  the  vertical 
c.ird  file  system. 

Although  the  schools  of  Pasadena.  Glendale  and  Santa 
Monica  are  operated  independently  —  no  active  connec- 
tion between  their  records  —  all  three  groups  of  schools 
have  solved  their  film-booking  difficulties  in  the  same 
manner.  Each  school  has  installed  a  Remington  Rand 
kardex  Visible  Booking  System.  Mow  film  bookings  take 
only  one-half  the  time.  This  is  an  important  factor  be- 
cause of  the  large  number  of  phone  bookings. 

Through  the  use  of  Kardex.  schools  in  Pasadena.  Glen- 
dale and  Santa  Monica  find  that  they  have  eliminated 
a  great  deal  of  confusion  that  often  arises  when  more 
than  one  person  works  with  the  booking  records.  In  the 
new  system,  cards  are  never  out  of  place  and  there  is 
no   possibility    of   duplicate    bookings. 

Another  tangible  result  these  schools  have  met  from 
the  installation  of  Kardex  is  the  savings  in  clerical  costs, 
in  order  that  audio-visual  departments  keep  abreast  with

the  increased  demand,  schools  find  that  they  must  either 
hire  extra  help  or  improve  their  system.  Pasadena.  Glen- 
dale and  Santa  Monica  find  that  Kardex  has  made  it 
possible  for  work  to  be  handled  much  more  efficiently, 
with  it  it  is  possible  to  do  without  extra  help  to  handle 
the   increased    load. 

Speaking  for  our  own  audio-visual  section,  we  find  our- 
selves giving  better  service  with  less  time  and  effort,  and 
the  record  control  system  is  expanding  nicely  with  the 
department. 

Because  the  cards  in  our  new  control  set-up  are  housed 
on  slides  or  panels  with  visible  margin  indexing,  the  rec- 
ords are  never  lost  or  niisfiled  once  they  have  been  prop- 
erly set  up.  And  this  is  extremely  important,  particularly 
uhen  there  is  more  than  one  person  working  with  the 
records. 

Another  big  improvement  has  been  the  elimination  of 
duplicate  bookings  and.  of  course,  the  confusion  resulting 
from  such  duplications.  The  records  are  simple  and  clear. 
A  glance  at  the  graphic  chart  each  card  presents  tells 
those  concerned  with  the  administrative  phase  of  the 
.iudio-visual  program  just  what  they  need  to  know  —

IT  ISN'T  AUTOMATIC 

by  Thoinai'  H.  Boardiiian.  Aiulio-\"isual  Director,  Freeport   (111.)   Schools 


IN  RECENT  YEARS  the  audio-visual  program  has 
received  wide  acclaim  as  the  most  effective  medium 
to  be  used  bv  a  teacher  who  wants  to  be  economical 
with  her  time.  Yet  many  teachers  who  have  tried  to  use 
these  materials  have  found  the  results  don't  live  up  to  the 
claims  made  for  them.    Why? 

Actually  there  are  many  reasons,  but  one  that  is  all- 
inclusive  is  this:  Teachers  don't  take  time  to  use  audio- 
visual materials  to  their  full  advantage;  too  many  have 
the  impression  that  some  kind  of  magic  is  inherent  in  a 
film  or  record  and  that  learning  from  these  sources  is 
automatic.  If  there  is  an)-thing  automatic  about  teaching, 
the  audio-visual  program  ISNT  it.  The  audio-visual  pro- 
gram must  be  mentally  and  manually  operated. 

Because  so  many  teachers  feel  that  this  program  is 
self-suflScient,  a  study  was  made  to  determine  just  how 
automatic  these  materials  are.  You  as  a  teacher  will  find 
it  worth  your  reading  time  to  finish  this  article  and  find 
out  what  the  study  revealed. 

They  Don't  Always  Believe  What  They  See 

A  rather  startling  revelation  to  come  from  audio-visual 
studies  is  that  many  students  do  not  accept  or  believe 
what  they  see  on  the  screen.  Students  may  see  a  film  on 
Holland  showing  that  they  dress  much  the  same  as  we,  but 
in  a  test  these  students  answer  that  typical  Dutch  dress  is 
wooden  shoes  and  baggy  pants.  Or  they  may  see  a  film  on 
Switzerland  shomng  the  very  extensive  use  of  electricity 
and  in  a  test  state  that  Switzerland  uses  but  little  electricity. 
Why?  The  students  are  xmprepared  to  accept  new  ideas 
and  concepts,  so  they  fall  back  on  their  previous  ideas  that 
probably  came  from  the  traditional  stories  told  in  the  early 
elementary  grades.  In  later  years  neither  the  teaching  nor 
the  learning  was  automatic. 

Part  one  of  this  study  was  to  find  to  what  extent  stu- 
dents who  had  false  impressions  of  customs,  dress,  activi- 
ties and  living  conditions  in  several  foreign  countries, 
changed  their  concepts  when  the  correct  visual  information 
alone  was  expected  to  do  the  job.  To  determine  what  false 
impressions  students  have,  a  questionnaire  was  developed 
and  administered  to  117  5th  and  6th  grade  students  early 
in  the  school  year.  During  the  year  eight  special  units 
were  given  which  visually  and  verbally  gave  the  correct 
impressions.  The  questionnaire  was  repeated  at  the  close 
of  the  year  and  the  false  impressions  that  changed  were 
counted.  The  percentage  results  appear  later  in  the  article. 

No  Automatic  Increase  in  Total  Learning 

The  second  part  of  this  study  was  to  see  if  there  was 
an  increase  in  total  learning  over  traditional  methods  when 
films  were  used  automatically.  Each  class  read  four  of  the 
special  units  and  were  tested,  the  other  four  units  com- 
bined reading,  seeing  a  correlated  film  and  testing.  This 
was  done  as  automatically  as  possible,  or  it  might  be  stated 
— a  poor  method  of  film  utilization  was  used.  The  students 
were  not  expecting  to  see  a  film;  there  was  no  class  prep- 
aration of  any  kind,  and  there  was  no  follow-up  except  the 


test.  This  procedure  is  inadequate,  but  many  teachers 
use  it  regularly. 

♦Results  of  the  Ouestionnaire:  Of  the  twenty-seven 
questions  only  five  had  lO'/v  or  more  of  the  students 
change  to  correct  answers,  and  well  over  half  the  questions 
had  less  than  50%  of  the  students  change  their  opinions 
during  the  year.  The  range  was  from  14  to  85%.  and  the 
average  was  approximately  45%.  I  doubt  if  teachers  are 
satisfied  when  only  45%  of  the  class  finish  a  year's  study 
knowing  the  correct  answers.  The  suggestion  is  made  that 
teachers  might  find  it  advantageous  to  devise  a  question- 
naire and  use  it  in  a  similar  manner,  making  sure  to  cor- 
rect the  wrong  impressions  as  they  come  up  in  the  regular 
course  of  study. 

♦  Results  of  the  Special  I'nits:  This  was  a  measurement 
of  one  type  of  film  utilization  (conceded  to  be  a  poor 
onel  to  traditional  methods  (reading  only).  This  study 
certainly  indicated  that  the  amount  of  learning  was  far 
less  than  might  have  been  expected.  The  overall  percentage 
gain  was  6.19%.  Other  audio-visual  studies  in  this  field 
indicate  that  with  better  utilization,  gains  of  from  20  to 
30%  could  have  been  expected. 

CONCLUSIONS: 

1.  The  students  who  got  the  greatest  benefit  from  this 
type  of  film  presentation  were  those  who  were  poor 
readers.    The   good  readers  showed   practically   no   gain. 

2.  The  percentage  gain  with  this  type  of  presentation, 
compared  to  what  could  be  gained  by  using  a  method  that 
is  educationally  sound,  should  make  teachers  dissatisfied 
with   anything   but   good    methods. 

3.  One  of  the  aims  of  the  social  studies  program  is  to 
have  students  realize  the  many  similarities  between  our 
country  and  others.  This  study  indicates  that  less  than 
50'^c  of  the  students  in  the  5th  and  6th  grades  will  change 
their  opinions  unless  the  teacher  takes  special  care  to  call 
attention  to  the  false  impressions.  This  strengthens  the 
opinion  that  the  Audio-Visual  program  is  not  automatic, 
but  manually  and  mentally  operated. 

4.  The  general  consensus  of  opinion  by  the  teachers 
who  participated  in  this  study  was  that  a  questionnaire 
used  at  the  beginning  of  each  year  would  be  invaluable. 
It  would  help  teachers  realize  the  areas  of  false  conceptions 
that  needed  to  be  corrected  during  the  year. 

5.  At  the  close  of  the  study  the  students  answered  a 
brief  questionnaire.  It  was  discovered  that  students  are 
aware  of  the  contribution  a  film  can  make  and  are  dis- 
satisfied  with  poor  methods   of   utilization. 

There  are  many  excellent  books  describing  good  methods 
of  classroom  film  utilization.  One  of  the  most  excellent 
descriptions  is  in  the  book  Audio-]  isual  Paths  to  Learning, 
W.  A.  Wittich,  Harper  Bros.,  1946.  It  is  also  suggested 
that  every  school  subscribe  to  the  audio-visual  magazines. 
See  and  Hear  and  Educational  Screen,  in  which  one 
often  finds  articles  by  teachers  describing  successful  meth- 
ods of  film  utilization.  It  is  worth  your  time  to  get  good 
results.  •

Article  on  Overhead  Projection 
Authored  by  Arnold  R.  Hansen 

♦  The  excellent  article  on  Overhead 
Projection  Techniques  which  appeared 
in  Issue  2  of  See  &  Hear  last  year 
should  be  properly  credited  to  Arnold 
R.  Hansen,  Director  of  Audio-Visual 
Activities  at  the  Hartford  Branch  of

grateful  to  Mr.  Hansen  for  this  out- 
standing contribution. 

Malayan  War  in  "Alien  Orders" 

♦  All-but-forgotten  hostilities  in  Ma- 
laya provide  dramatic  material  for  a 
new  CrowTi  Film  Unit  production  en- 
titled, Alien  Orders.  Running  11-min- 
utes,  this  16mm  sound  film  shows  how 
the  British  police  find  among  millions 
of  men  communist  guerillas  ^vith  alien 
guns  and  alien  orders.  British  and 
Malayan  troops  fight  with  all  the  tech- 
niques of  a  modern  campaign  against 
the  unseen  enemy  lurking  in  the  Ma- 
layan jungle.  Work  of  the  guerillas  is 
resisted  bv  thousands  of  Malayan  vol- 
unteers who  guard  mines  and  planta- 
tions. The  film  proves  the  struggle  in 
Malaya  to  be  no  minor  skirmish  but  a 
war  in  deadly  earnest  against  a  treach- 
erous enemy. 

Filmstrip  on  Atomic  Protection 

♦  How  to  Lessen  Chances  of  Injury 
from  an  Atomic  Explosion  is  the  title 
of  a  new  single-frame,  color  filmstrip 
released  recently  by  the  Societv  for 
Visual  Education,  Inc.  Consisting  of 
45  captioned  frames,  the  film  was  de- 
signed primarily  to  teach  pupils  in  the 
elementary  grades  to  help  protect 
themselves  from  injuries  caused  by 
atomic  bombing.  It  dramatizes  situa- 
tions at  school  where  a  child  would 
most  likely  be  during  an  atomic  bomb 
alarm  test  or  actual  attack. 

Produced  by  Alexark  and  Norsim 
under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Alexander 
Arkatov,  the  new  color  strip  lists  for 
$6.50  and  is  available  through  anv 
SVE  dealer.

National  Check-List 
for  A-V  Maintenance 

A  SEE  &  HEAR  SPECIAL  FEATURE 


'T'here's  a  network  of  some  hun- 
-■■  dreds  of  specializing  audio-visual 
dealers  across  the  U.  S.  and  Canada 
whose  business  it  is  to  sell  and  service 
the  many  lines  of  audio-visual  equip- 
ment which  our  schools  find  increas- 
ingly useful  in  expanding  the  world  be- 
yond their  classroom  walls. 

Not  all  of  these  dealers  have  earned 
the  cherished  recognition  of  their  par- 
ent companies  as  authorized  "service 
stations."  In  fact,  not  all  maintain  the 
minimum  essential  facilities  and  ex- 
])erienced  personnel  necessarv  to  main- 
tain and  perform  certain  repairs 
within  the  scope  of  their  regionalized 
service.  Those  who  do  have  this  fac- 
tory recognition  are  among  the  audio- 
visual dealers  listed  in  this  first  com- 
plete check-list  of  nationwide  audio- 
visual maintenance  facilities  which  ap- 
pears on  the  following  pages. 


Consumer   Education 

Milwaukee's  far-famed  Pho- 
toart  ^  isual  Service,  headed 
hy  Roa  Birch,  showed  mod- 
ern visual  dealers  enter- 
prise when  it  staged  an  all- 
day  consumer  education  pro- 
gram to  which  representa- 
tives of  Wisconsin  schools 
and  industry  came  in  droves 
to  learn  about  latest  equip- 
ment and  a-v  methods  pic- 
tured  at   left   and   right. 


It  is  coincidental  (but  important  to 
note)  that  these  dealers  may  also  pro- 
vide special  instruction  in  the  opera- 
tion and  care  of  modern  equipment  to 
the  schools  which  they  serve.  Good 
equipment  will  last  a  long  time  and 
save  needless  replacement  expenditure 
if  it  is  properly  operated  and  cared 
for  by  experienced  hands.  Consult  any 
of  the  dealers  listed  in  these  pages  for 
details  of  such  service. 

\o  intention  is  indicated  here  to 
list  these  facilities  as  film  libraries, 
though  many  of  them  also  maintain 
such  services  for  school  and  commun- 
ity clientele.  They  also  provide  spe- 
cial service  in  projection  rental  and 
will  furnish  operators  and  equipment 
for  larger  group  showings.  Keep  this 
list  for  a  valuable  permanent  refer- 
ence.

Wilcox-Gay  Tape  Recorder 
Features  Push-Button  Control 

♦  Believing  that  tape  recorders  for 
school  and  church  use  must  be  com- 
pact, lightweight,  portable,  and  sim- 
ple to  operate,  the  Wilcox  Gay  Com- 
pany has  announced  a  high  fidelity, 
different  tape  recorder  with  complete- 
ly automatic  push  button  controls. 

It  is  no  longer  necessary  to  have 
trained  operators  accompany  each  re- 
corder as  it  makes  the  rounds  of  the 
school  rooms,  the  manufacturer's  rep- 
resentative states.  You  simply  plug  in 
this  new  Recordio,  push  a  button  and 
it  records — push  another  button  and 
it  plays  back.  Two  other  buttons  give 
fast  forward  or  fast  reverse.  Thread- 
ing has  been  simplified  too. 

A  three-way  recording  system  per- 
mits live  recording  through  micro- 
phone and  recording  through  radio  or 
from  phonograph.  Standard  magnetic 
tape  is  used  which  can  be  kept  indef- 
initely for  permanent  records  or  it  can 
be  erased  and  used  over  and  over 
again. 

The  new  unit  is  completely  self- 
contained  and  weighs  less  than  18 
pounds.  It  plays  up  to  four  hours  on 
one  seven-inch  reel.  It  is  available  in 
two  models,  both  priced  at  $149.95, 
with  prices  slightly  higher  west  of  the 
Rockies. 

New  features  include  a  fast,  motor- 
driven  rewind;  speedy  skip  forward 
or  skip  reverse;  an  easy-to-read  timing 
indicator  which  measures  the  exact 
amount  of  tape  used  and  permits  quick 


location  of  any  recorded  sequence  on 
the  reel;  a  lightweight,  sensitive  mi- 
crophone; and  wide  tone  control  from 
treble  to  deep  base. 

More  complete  information  is  avail- 
able   from    MoNsoN    Sales   Corpora-

London's  Spring  Fair  to  Show- 
World's  Smallest  16mni  Projector 

*  The  scientific  and  photographic 
equipment  section  of  the  British  Indus- 
tries Fair  to  be  held  in  London  next 
spring  (May  5-161  will  contain  items 
of  interest  to  American  bu\ers. 

What  may  be  the  smallest  sound 
projector  in  the  world,  for  instance, 
will  be  shown  by  Southern  Films  Ltd. 
It  is  the  Sofil  ".Minor,"  a  16nnn  sound 
and  silent  film  projector.  No  larger 
than  the  average  portable  typewriter, 
the  entire  equipment — projector,  am- 
plifier, transformer,  loud-speaker  and 
leads — packs  into  a  single  case  meas- 
uring 12  X  12  X  9,  and  the  special  ver- 
sion for  the  United  States  weighs  only 
24  pounds. 

This  remarkable  feat  has  been  made 
possible  by  the  free  use  of  light  alloys 
and  miniature  electrical  equipment, 
plus  the  reduction  of  components  to  a 
minimum. 

Precision-built  throughout,  the  pro- 
jector has  a  heavy  duty  universal  type 
motor,  governor  controlled  for  silent 
and  sound  speeds,  operated  by  a  single 
switch.  Its  high  efficiency  6-1  shut- 
tle/shutter ratio  intermittent  motion 
allows  maximum  viewing  per  picture 
frame  during  each  cycle  and  eliminates 


undue  strain  on  llu'  iilin  pcrloration. 
The  film  threads  through  the  projector 
it  two  points  and  between  two  sets  of 
rollers  and  around  the  sound-head 
drum.  There  are  no  sprocket  shoes  to 
lift,  no  lav-on  idlers  to  thread.  The 
simple  film  path  can  be  followed  even 
by  inexperienced  operators.  Further 
information  may  be  obtained  from 
Southern  Film  Services  Ltd.,  5  Mac- 
kenzie .Street.  Slough,  Bucks.,  Kngland.

Learning  is  made  fascinating  when 
EBFilms  are  used  in  your  classrooms. 
Difficult  subjects  become  understandable — 
stimulating.  Students  learn  up  to  35% 
more  in  the  same  length  of  time. 
They  remember  up  to  55%  longer. 

Made  by  educators— for  educators. 

The  reason.''  Teachers  and  students  respond 
instinctively  to  educationally  superior  films. 
Every  EBFilm  is  produced  under  the  close 
supervision  of  outstanding  authorities  in  sub- 
ject matter,  and  in  audio-visual  presentation. 
The  result  is  films  with  greater  educational 
power. 

In  addition,  teachers  find  that  EBFilms  tie 
in  more  accurately  with  their  textbook 
courses  of  study  and  study  plans.  For  EBFilms 
offer  not  just  a  single  film  on  a  subject,  but  a 
whole  series  of  films  to  suit  every  grade  and 
to  tie  in  with  related  courses. 

Plan  now  to  let  this  great  educational  tool 
do  more  for  you  teachers  and  students.  Ask 
your  EBFilms  representative  to  help  you  plan 
a  successful  audio-visual  program— with

BERTRAM  drew  up 
his  chair  to  see  the 
class  film.  Rethought, 
"Why  is  it  hard  to 
understand  there's  no 
winter  season  at  the 
Equator."  Maybe 
THE  SEASONS

Ten  minutes  later  B.

■ALDIO-VISl  AL   PROGRAMS   IN   ACTION" 

MAJOR  LEGISL\TIVE  GRAMS  have  not  as  yet 
boomed  audio-visual  (le\elopmenls  in  Michigan 
schools  hut  a  picture  of  steady  and  often  inspiring 
progress  in  putting  these  new  tools  for  better  learning  in 
the  hands  of  the  teachers  in  school  systems  all  over  the 
state  is  rellecled  in  the  pages  of  a  new  illustrated  112-page 
report  prepared  1)\  members  of  the  Michigan  Audio-Visual 
Association  and  edited  by  Ford  L.  Leniler,  director  of  the 
Audio-Visual  Education  Center,  University  of  Michigan. 
Copies  of  "Audio-Visual  Programs  in  Action"  are  available 
at  SI.IHJ  per  copy  from  the  Center.  1028  Administration 
Building.  Lniversity  of  Michigan.  Ann  Arbor. 

Fourteen  Reports  on  Local  Pro^^ress 
Following  a  basic  introduction  which  outlines  important 
principles  generalized  from  member  reports  which  form 
the  bulk  of  its  content,  the  audio-visual  directors  of  four- 
teen city,  community  and  county  school  systems  detail 
their  budgeU,  problems  and  progress.  As  \\  illiam  G.  Hart, 
president  of  M.\V.\,  says  in  his  foreword  "the  audio-visual 
programs  reported  are  well-known  for  success  in  coping 
with  the  many  problems  of  this  field.  They  were  selected 
so  as  to  report  patterns  of  organization,  financial  resources, 
audio-visual  services  and  effective  techniques." 

Mr.  Lemler  considers,  in  his  pre-sununation,  that  "the 
audio-visual  program  is  a  comjilex  oj)eration."  He  notes 
that  it  "requires  order,  direction,  and  leadership."  Thr 
tenor  of  the  reports  indicates  that  the  "best  way  to  provide 
these  essentials  is  to  centralize  responsibility  in  an  audio- 
visual director  or  coordinator  with  the  necessary  compe- 
tencies of  leadership  and  administration." 

Darkeninj:  a   I  niversal  Classroom  Problem 

One  very  important  area  is  highlighted  as  most  of  the 
contributors  emphasize  the  need  for  adaptation  of  class- 
rooms for  audio-visual  work.  Darkening,  for  example,  is 
repeatedlv  cited  as  an  obstacle  to  successful  classroom  use 
of  projected  materials.  Helpfully,  the  book  also  cites  some 
specific  ways  in  which  Michigan  a-v  directors  have  solved 
this  problem  but  we  are  also  reminded  that  the  problem  is 
perpetuated  by  failure  to  provide  facilities  in  new  build- 
ings. Lloyd  Cartw right,  who  directs  the  Saginaw  Count) 
.\udio-Visual  Education  Center,  savs  "Superintentlents  and 
school  boards  who  are  planning  the  construction  of  new 
buildings  should  insist  that  drapery  track  installations  be 
specified  in  the  architect  s  plans.  A  determined  stand  on 
the  part  of  educators  in  demanding  these  installations  is  of 
utmost  imi)ortance  for  the  reason  that  the  current  plans 
for  new  buildings  have  been  in  the  direction  of  admitting 
the  maxinmm  of  natural  light. 

Service,  this  report  concludes,  is  the  keynote  of  every 
successful  audio-visual  program.  As  implementing  pro- 
grams, "audio-visual  programs  ha\e  meaning  only  to  the 
extent  that  .  .  .  they  .  .  .  assist  the  work  of  other  depart- 
ments and  acti\  ities  of  the  school."  You'll  value  your  copy 
of  this  well-illustrated,  well-organized  and  thorough! v  pro- 
fessional collection  of  "case  histories"  of  hard  work  well 
done.  — OHC

SOUND  WAVES  Is  a  demonstration- 
type  film.  By  means  of  special  lab- 
oratory equipment,  ttie  phenome- 
na of  sound  are  explained  clearly 
and  simply.  A  tuning  forK  illustrates 
ttiat  back  and  fortli  motion,  or 
vibration  produces  sound.  The 
properties  of  sound  waves,  such  as 
wave  length,  amplitude,  frequency, 
are  likened  to  movement  of  pendu- 
lum, waves  in  a  pool  of  water,  and 
various  animated  symbols.  On  ani- 
mated models,  a  set  of  beads  dem- 
onstrate longitudinal  waves  and 
show  that  vibrating  particles  move 
along  the  path  of  waves.  A  clock 
limes  wave  motion  to  explain  how 
speed  of  sound  waves  is  deter- 
mined. Concluding  experiments 
show  how  speed  of  sound  Is  mea- 
sured in  air,  in  water  and  In  solids. 

SOUNDWAVES  and  its  companion, 
MUSICAL  NOTES,  form  a  practical 
unit  for  teaching  the  Physics  of

The  Budget  and  YOU 

by    Charles   HofT,   Omaha    Municipal   University 

AS  1  STOOD.  1  WATCHED— 1  could  not  but  be  im- 
pressed with  the  many  fine  cars  on  the  paved  high- 
way— cars  zooming  in  both  directions  at  from  50 
to  75  miles  an  hour,  cars  with  all  the  conveniences  man  s 
mind  could  conceive. 

My  mind  took  me  back  to  another  day  twenty  years 
ago  when  I  came  to  Kearney  in  my  high-wheeled  Model-T 
Ford  from  mv  home  at  Neligh.  It  was  a  day  remembered 
because  of  sandy  roads,  high  centers,  a  hot  radiator,  and. 
if  I  were  lucky,  only  two  flat  tires. 

But  through  the  years  our  state  has  had  an  organization 
known  as  the  Good  Roads  Association.  Other  states  have 
similar  groups.  Through  their  efforts  and  the  efforts  of 
many  private  citizens  in  educating  the  public,  properly 
informing  the  legislators,  insisting  that  our  automobile 
manufacturers,  service  agencies  and  highway  contractors 
keep  abreast  of  the  motoring  needs  of  our  state,  no  ont- 
need  be  too  ashamed  of  our  highway  systems  today. 

So  it  is  with  our  audio-visual  program  in  the  schools. 
The  use  of  such  aids  is  not  new.  Every  teacher  in  the 
country  has  used  maps,  charts,  globes,  phonographs,  field 
trips,  museums,  etc.  Manv  have  used  movie  and  slide 
projectors.  But  just  as  we  have  gone  through  a  period 
of  pioneering  and  development  with  our  vehicles  of  trans- 
portation, we  are  now  in  an  era  of  special  attention  to  a 
"new  vehicle"  for  learning. 

Teachers  must  learn  where  to  find  films  and  slides  for 
specific  learning  situations.  They  must  learn  how  to  use 
those  films  and  slides  most  effectively  to  reach  their  ob- 
jectives. But  furtlier,  teachers  must  continue  to  be  com- 
munity leaders — to  inform  the  public  of  the  value  and  the 
efficiency  of  film  for  classroom  teaching.  The  teacher- 
must  here  tajje  the  place  of  the  Good  Roads  Association. 
Teachers  must  explain  the  need  to  provide  a  better  vehicli' 
for  better  education. 

Our  communities  look  to  our  teachers  for  leadership. 
Citizens  cannot  all  be  educational  specialists.  School 
board  members  cannot  be  expected  to  keep  informed  on 
good  teaching  methods  unless  school  administrators  and 
teachers  provide  the  '"know-how''  and  the  community 
leadership.  School  boards  and  communities  will  provide 
the  finances  for  better  education  if  they  understand  what 
is  needed  and  how  it  will  help.  Audio-visual  aids  can  be 
seen  and  touched.  The  proof  of  their  value  is  evident  in 
many  schools  of  our  country  as  well  as  in  our  successful 
war  training  programs.  The  job  of  convincing  your  com- 
munity is  not  difficult  if  you  yourself  learn  the  values  and 
the  proper  usage  of  audio-visual  aids.  But  it  is  your  pro- 
fessional duty  to  guard  your  community  against  visual 
education  racketeers.  A  sound  visual  education  program 
for  your  school  cannot  be  "sold"'  to  your  school  board  by 
an  equipment  dealer  who  completes  his  job  when  he  has 
the  signature  on  an  order.  The  purchase  of  equipment 
does  not  guarantee  good  usage.  When  teachers  are  ready 
and  know  that  they  need  physical  equipment,  it  next  be- 
comes their  responsibility  to  explain  that  need  for  visual 
education  equipment  and  materials  to  the  connnunity.       •

.Maurice  C.  .McCann  Outlines  Need 
lor  Improved  Film  Study  Guides 

♦  Received  in  the  office  recently  was 
a  report  from  Maurice  C.  McCann. 
chairman  of  the  \^  DAVI  study  guides 
committee.  Its  concern  with  a  vital 
problem  in  audio-visual  communica- 
tion would  seem  to  call  for  quoting  it 
in  full. 

"The  consensus  of  opinion  of  those 
interested  in  Audio-Visual  education 
indicates  that  there  is  a  definite  need 
for  study  guides,  particularly  film 
study  guides  for  teachers.  Most  of  the 
film  producers  have  well  prepared  and 
attractive  guides  to  accompany  their 
films.  However,  these  guides  are  not 
made  use  of  as  extensively  as  they 
should  be.  In  most  cases  the  study 
guide  is  not  received  in  advance  of 
the  film,  and  the  teacher  does  not  have 
enough  time  to  plan  and  prepare  the 
film  presentation  and  lesson.  Too 
often  study  guides  are  filed  away  and 
forgotten  or  the  person  in  charge  fails 
to  send  them  out  to  the  right  peojjle  at 
ihe  right  time.  It  is  logical  to  assume 
that  much  of  the  value  of  the  film 
|;resentation  is  lost  if  a  film  lesson  plan 
is  not  available  or  used  at  the  proper 
time.  Some  think  it  should  be  manda- 
tory that  there  is  a  written  suggested 
plan  of  use  for  all  films  as  well  as 
other  audio-visual  materials  such  as 
filmstrips.  slides,  recordings,  and  tran- 
scriptions. The  manner  of  use  of  such 
a  study  guide  should  be  optional  with 
the  teacher  who  knows  his  own  teach- 
ing situation  and  pupil  requirements 
best.  Whatever  the  source  of  films, 
should  they  be  school  owned,  or 
through  a  state  or  private  film  center, 
the  study  guides  should  precede  the 
film  by  two  or  three  days.  In  event 
that  this  cannot  be  done  or  if  the 
guides  are  not  satisfactory,  the  teach- 
ers who  use  the  films  should  pool  their 
knowledge  and  write  their  own  guides. 
Study  guides  written  by  teachers 
usually  are  more  satisfactory.  They 
may  be  sent  out  by  someone  assigned 
to  the  job  in  each  building,  in  ad- 
vance, to  each  teacher  and  returned  to 
lie  used  again. 

Make  Them  Brief.  Effective 
"In  a  recent  survev  of  studv  guides 
of  latest  films,  it  was  found  that  most 
guides  consisted  of  one  sheet  8^4  x 
11"  paper  printed  on  both  sides.  Per- 
haps it  is  best  to  be  sure  of  its  use  by 
making  it  brief  and  effective.    Teacher 


written  guides  could  be  mimeo- 
graphed. Actuallv  state  institutions 
distributing  films  should  send  out 
study  guides  as  well  as  films.  These 
could  be  a  help  if  teachers  wished  to 
write  their  own.  The  format  should 
be  one  that  is  most  practical,  effective 
and  convenient  to  use. 

"The  content  of  a  studv  guide  is 
somewhat  dependent  upon  the  level 
and  type  of  film.  It  is  desirable  to 
have  illustrations  and  pictures  if  the 
guide  is  printed.  According  to  our 
survev.  the  most  necessarv  requisite- 
are  title,  length,  black  and  white  oi 
color,  sound  or  silent,  cost,  recom- 
mended subject  area,  introduction,  or 
storv  of  film,  related  films,  vocabularv. 
suggested  study  activities,  books  avail- 
able on  subject  and  test  questions. 

Other  Key  Points  Noted 

"Other  points  to  consider  in  writing 
a  study  guide  are:  difficult  pronuncia- 
tions, what  to  do  before  showing, 
points  to  look  for.  what  to  do  after 
showing,  review  or  discussion  ques- 
tions, answers  to  quiz  questions,  and 
sequences  of  scenes  or  continuitv. 

"The  question  of  adequate  study 
guides  is  now  an  important  factor  in 
the  forward  progression  we  must 
make  in  the  continued  use  of  Audio- 
visual materials.  It  is  a  challenge  to 
those  interested  in  Audio- Visual  Edu- 
cation to  fulfill  this  need  for  satisfac- 
lorv  studv  guides  for  teachers."

Visual  Education  Room:  Community  Center 

bv  0.  H.  Engli*h  of  Brentwood's  Eirov  School.  Pitt^lmr'rli.  Pa. 


THE  Al  DIO-VISI  AL  EDLCATIOX  ROOM  that  h 
pictured  was-  reconstructed  for  educational  purposes 
from  two  idle,  unattractive  basement  rooms.  This 
special  room,  which  in  reality  is  a  model  auditorium  with 
a  miniature  stage,  serves  nianv  purposes.  It  contains  153 
seats  w  ith  folding  tablet  arms  and  will  acconmiodate  one 
or  more  classes,  or  will  serve  as  an  ideal  meeting  place. 
The  hea\  y  velour  pull  draperies  not  only  beautif\  but 
enable  the  room  to  be  darkened  for  visual  education  pur- 
poses in  about  a  half  a  minute. 

It  was  converted  last  winter,  and  since  that  time  it  has 
become  the  headquarters  for  a  functional  program  of  vis- 
ual education  in  the  Elroy  School  as  well  as  a  center  for 
community  participation. 

It  becomes  automatically  a  Community  Service  Center 
that  is  an  integral  part  of  the  school  program,  serving  the 
needs  of  the  children  as  well  as  the  adults..  The  room  is 
designed  to  utilize  all  phases  of  audio-visual  education — 
motion  pictures,  slides,  opaque  projection,  electrical  trans- 
criptions, radio,  public  speaking,  dramatics,  music  pro- 
grams, music  instruction,  and  assembly  programs  of  vari- 
ous types. 

.\11  parent-teacher  activities.  Boy  Scout  and  Girl  Scout 
work.  local  Y.M.C.A.  projects,  civic  forums,  and  countless 


reciprocal  school-community  relationships  prevail  within 
this  ser\  ice  center.  Many  programs  originate  here  that 
are  built  around  the  community  idea.  In  addition,  the 
long  corridor  running  along  the  outside  of  this  room  has 
been  remodeled  and  in  one  corner  kitchen  fixtures  were 
provided  bv  the  P.T.A.  for  use  by  teachers,  pupils,  and 
parents. 

The  name  "Community  Ser^■ice  Center"  was  probably 
first  emplo\ed  by  Teachers  College,  Columbia  Lniversity 
to  bring  to  focus  the  idea  that  education  is  a  community 
force.  "As  such,  schools  should  be  working  in.  uith.  and 
for  the  communit)    and  not  apart  from  the  community.' 

Audio-yisual  education  takes  on  a  very  broad  meaning 
in  a  center  such  as  this  set  up  to  help  students  and  educa- 
tional workers  develop  ways  and  means  by  which  the) 
may  serve  their  school  and  community  better. 

Brentwood  points  with  pride  to  the  establishment  of 
this  vitalizing  service  center  created  from  idle  rooms  and 
stored  equipment.  It  has  motivated  finer  pupil-pupil  and 
school-neighborhood  relationships:  has  inspired  more 
home-school  relationships:  has  increased  participation  in 
activities  that  influence  children  and  has  placed  greater 
emphasis  upon  use  of  the  school  building  b\  thf  lon)- 
munity.    Others  may  profit  by  our  experience.  •

A  Practical  Demonstration  in  Community  Cooperation 

They  Bring  Films  to  the  Handicapped 

ST.  LOUIS'  VOLUNTEER  FILM  ASSOCIATION  SETS  A  GOOD  EXAMPLE 

bv  Marion  Strauss 


A\  EXCITIXG  PLAN  of  visual  education  has  been 
put  into  effect  in  St.  Louis  through  the  fine  co- 
operation and  co-ordination  of  ill  the  teachers  of 
the  home-bound.  l2)  the  Division  of  Audio-Visual  Edu- 
cation of  the  St.  Louis  Public  Schools,  and  i  3  I  a  private 
agency  called  the  Volunteer  Film  Association. 

The  Volunteer  Film  Association  is  a  twelve-vear  old 
organization  of  men  and  women  volunteers,  who  take  pro- 
jectors and  motion  picture  films  into  the  homes  of  the 
handicapped  of  all  ages  and  also  into  hospitals  and  other 
institutions.  gi\  ing  shows  as  a  form  of  recreational  therapv 
with  the  approval  of  the  patient's  physician. 

While  the  Association  was  still  young,  the  Superintend- 
ent of  Instruction  of  the  St.  Louis  Public  Schools  granted 
the  Volunteer  Film  Association  the  privilege  of  borrowing 
films  from  the  library  of  the  Division  of  Audio-Visual 
Education  on  the  basis  of  the  large  number  of  school-age 
children  the  Association   was  caring  for. 

After  the  St.  Louis  home-teaching  program  had  become 
well  established  under  the  Pupil  Welfare  and  Adjustment 
Division  of  the  Public  Schools,  the  plan  for  bringing 
school  movies  to  the  home-bound  pupils  was  further  de- 
veloped. This  is  how  the  plan  works.  When  a  home-taught 
child  is  also  a  patient  of  the  Volunteer  Film  Association, 
the  teacher  mav  request  a  showing  of  any  film  in  the 
catalogue  of  the  Division  of  Audio-Visual  Education.  The 
Division  of  Audio-Visual  Education  lends  the  film  to  the 
Volunteer  Film  Association,  and  a  Volunteer  Film  Asso- 
ciation operator  shows  the  film  at  the  child's  next  regular- 
ly scheduled  show.  The  teacher  is  not  present,  but  she 
has  had  the  opportunitv  of  familiarizing  herself  with  the 
film,  the  handbook,  and  the  catalogue  description.  The 
film,  you  see,  supplements  her  teaching,  and  she  can  use 
il  as  the  classroom  teacher  does. 

There  have  been  excellent  results,  and  evervone  partici- 
pating  in  the  program   is  most  enthusiastic.  •

M  The  examples  of  school-cunimunit\  cooperation  are  be-

Cooperation   Helps    Make  a   hiliii 

We  Filmed  Our  Ideas 

by  Evelyn   Hoke.  H;ill  State  Teachers  College 

0\  THE  OPE.M.NG  DAY  OF  CLASS.  Miss  Grace 
\^'ood\.  Associate  Professor  in  Physical  Education, 
invited  class  members  to  state  their  interests  in  what 
the  course.  Recreation,  should  include.  Student  interest 
was  high  I  Vt  hen  we  were  done,  we  all  agreed  that  our 
ideas  were  good — so  good  that  they  should  be  documented 
in  understandable  graphic  terms:  so.  we  made  a  motion- 
picture  report  for  other  teachers  to  see  and  profit  by. 

Here  s  our  storv  of  play  materials  in  the  Elementary 
Grades. 

•  We  wanted  to  do  something  about  providing  activity 
for  play  periods  I  There  were  good  reasons  why  unani- 
mous agreement  prevailed:  First,  in  considering  better 
use  of  free  time  in  or  out  of  school,  the  class  subscribed 
to  the  notion  that  facilities  were  insufficient  for  indoor 
play  periods.  There  was  usually  a  dearth  of  indoor  game 
and  toy  kits  and  often,  inadequate  planning  was  done. 
Secondly,  since  as  college  students,  they  were  training  for 
teacher  and-or  parenthood,  a  study  of  this  \ital  topic 
w  ould  surely  be  of  lasting  benefit. 

Here's  Our  Six-Part  Plan  for  Term  \^  ork 
The  plan  for  the  terms  work  was  structured  something 
like  this: 

1.  Start  by  in\estigating  some  of  the  present  conditions 
governing  play  periods. 

2.  Make  an  evaluative  study  of  available  resources. 

3.  From  these  total  findings,  list  a  starting  set-up  of 
plans  and  kits. 

4.  Create  ideas  about  ways  for  securing  minimum 
needs. 

5.  Promote  putting  these  plans  and  materials  on  trial 
in  some  schools. 

6.  Retain  lists,  sets  of  drawings,  direction  sheets,  and

Play  Materials  in  the  Elementary  School. 

Students  Do  the  Field  Research 
The  students  consulted  with  children,  teachers,  and  par- 
ents to  gather  first  hand  information.  They  found  that 
children  should  be  allowed  to  obtain  and  make  materials: 
use  and  care  for  tools,  games,  and  accumulated  materials. 
Teachers  admonished  them  to  gather  a  host  of  games 
and  toys  so  that  a  child  of  any  age  could  suit  his  day.  t<p 
ponder,  to  manipulate,  to  push,  to  dramatize,  or  to  build. 
X^  ithout  hesitation,  they  came  to  me  as  Director  of  Teach- 
ing Materials  Service,  .\aturally  this  seemed  to  be  another 
big  opportunity  for  the  Service  to  further  the  role  of  the 
OPEN  WORKSHOP,  which  is  maintained  for  the  purpose 
of  producing  instructional  materials. 

Straightaway  general  supplies  were  inventoried  and 
needs  listed  in  light  of  some  of  the  students'  sketches  for 
the  construction  series.   In  addition  to  the  hopper  of  scrap

supplies,  the  Teaching  Materials  Center  secured  gratis  a 
truck  load  of  discarded  wooden  boxes  and  a  sizable  load 
of  top-grade  kiln-dried  hard  woods  from  the  trash  heap 
of  a  lumber  compan\    in  another  county. 

By  purchase,  the  Teaching  Materials  Service  added 
ready-made  games,  and  bought  such  miscellany  as  paints, 
oilcloth,  canvas,  duck,  and  attractive  puppet  stage  stuffs. 

The  materials  made  either  bv  individuals  or  class  units 
in  this  audio-visual  laboratory  are  absorbed  into  the 
school's  collection  so  that  they  become  available  for  dem- 
onstration and  use  b\    the  campus  at  large. 

Completion  of  the  games  was  hastened.  Meantime,  the 
class  made  arrangements  for  us  to  transfer  the  kits  to' 
Riley  Elementary  School  in  Muncie  where  the  children 
« ould  use  the  materials  noon  hours  during  the  closing 
weeks  of  Miss  Woody  s  course. 

We  Find  Good  Lighting  Is  Essential 

Then  the  film  making  began!  In  spite  of  the  schedule 
limits  and  the  handicap  of  having  a  very  simple  assortment 
of  tools,  ideas  were  plentiful.  Film  shooting  was  confined 
to  two  noon  hours.  We  had  planned  to  operate  with  a  mini- 
mum of  technical  equijiment.  \^  e  wanted  to  prevent  the 
distraction  due  to  having  lighting  equi|)ment  in  the  way. 
Also,  since  we  were  striving  for  a  pure  documentary  rec- 
ord, we  planned  to  forego  the  complexity  of  rehearsals 
before  shooting  the  action.  Critics,  of  course,  have  re- 
minded us  that  it  is  evident  that  we  allowed  shooting  con- 
ditions which  were  under  par.  I  now  advise  that  one 
should  use  ample  lighting  and  overlook  the  possibility  of 
intrusion  because  children  are  miraculously  free  of  camera 
shvness  when  so  intent  upon  their  activ  ities. 

Among  the  film  sequences  of  the  children  at  play,  it  is 
easy  for  the  audience  to  share  experiences  along  with  the 
young  actors.  For  example,  one  can  readily  identifv  the 
child's  sensation  of  balance  and  imbalance  which  com- 
bine to  fortify  or  deter  progress  in  a  trial  walk  on  the  ivalk- 
ing  beam.  The  element  of  practice  is  apparent  in  the  fal- 
tering steps  of  some  as  they  negotiate  this   nine-foot  trip

vn   the  beam   which   is   uid\    Sdnie   lour   inches   above   the 
surface  of  the  floor. 

Further  in  the  film,  one  is  convinced  that  there  is  a 
fertile  field  for  providing  for  the  play  periods  of  the  older 
children.  Singly  or  in  groups  they  were  equally  diverted 
with  this  new  supply  of  puzzles  and  games.  Their  re- 
sponses would  lead  to  the  advocation  that  they  "enjoy  play 
as  much  as  the  lillle  ffilks"  and  hence  need  as  many  games. 

Reaction  to  Our  Project  Is  Enthusiastic 
The  final  sequence  of  the  film,  though  very  brief,  gives 
glimpses  of  "Woody"  and  the  class  in  the  Teaching  Mate- 
rials Service  WORKSHOP  busy  with  the  preparation. 
Here  learning  was  no  chore  and  the  interest  was  genuine. 
Of  course,  the  class  was  delighted  with  the  film.  (  How- 
ever, this  group  was  not  unique  in  its  enthusiasm  and 
gratitude  to  us  for  the  creative  help  offered  in  this  labora- 
tory. This  is  a  very  enjoyable  part  of  our  Services.  I  These 
students  left  Play  Education  daily,  virtually  refreshed.  Of 
course,  one  aspect  of  the  situation  plagued  them — namely, 
that  there  were  more  ideas  than  could  be  executed  within 
time  and  resource  limits. 

In  the  main,  the  film  Play  Materials  in  the  Elementary 
School  has  a  two-fold  purpose.  First,  it  is  a  sort  of  docu- 
mentary record  which  is  intended  to  suggest  several  pre- 
liminary understandings  and  to  share  some  planning  which 
may  be  of  assistance  to  those  people  who  are  interested  in 
providing  for  programs  of  plav.  Secondly,  the  film  is  a 
kind  of  demonstration  piece  showing  a  pattern:  or  at  least 
one  example  of  the  operations  whereby  a  school  service 
produces  non-projected  and  projected  instructional  mate- 
rials. This  film  is  a  silent  motion  picture  record  of  a  com- 
bined teachers'  college  and  grade  school-  experience. 
Though  the  majority  of  similar  Library  projects  are  not 
filmed  this  was  taken  because  the  class  wanted  it. 

Result :    a  Pictorial  Record  of  Cooperation 

The  film,  being  a  vehicle  for  telling  the  story  of  the 
cooperation  between  this  teachers  college  class,  the  school, 
and  the  audio-visual  laboratory  in  tackling  the  problem 
of  what-to-do  for  indoor  play,  has  been  seen  by  scores  of 
people.  They  have  been  chiefly  teachers,  camp  counselors, 
and  administrators  seeing  it  either  as  a  result  of  renting 
ir  or  of  purchasing  it.  School  administrators  have  said 
that  this  whets  their  interest  in  the  multi-sided  approach 
to  learning.  Moreover,  the  scheme  of  putting  the  devices 
iin  trial  increases  the  value  which  they  and  their  teachers 
attach  to  the  widening  opportunities  for  selecting  and 
evaluating  instructional  materials  via  the  motion  picture 
film.  •

Films  that  Really  Teach 

A  Message  from  EBFilms 


From 
NEWSPAPER  STORY 


Enrico  Fermi,  noted  nuclear  physi- 
cist, OS  he  appears  in  the  EBF  pro- 
duction Atomic  Alert.  Dr.  Fermi 
helped  develop  this  new  film  on 
civilian  defense  for  school  children.

Films  are  "the  most  important  aid  to  learn- 
ing since  the  invention  of  printing!"  This 
is  what  leading  educators  say  about  film 
teaching.  How  important  then,  that  schools 
get  only  the  best  in  educational  films. 

We  at  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films  believe 
chat  a  film,  to  really  educate,  must  be  both  au- 
thentic and  compellingly  interesting.  For  this 
reason,  EBF  enlists  the  service  of  the  world's 
outstanding  authorities  in  subject  matter  and 
in  audio-visual  production.  The  result  is  films 
that  teach  better  because  they  are  education- 
ally superior. 

To  get  greater  correlation 

And  since  film  teaching  must  fit  a  variety  of 
curriculums  and  textbooks.  Encyclopaedia 
Britannica  Films  provide,  not  just  a  single 
film  on  a  subject,  but  an  entire  series. 

How  you  can  help 

I  f  schools  are  to  get  the  full  benefits  of  superior 
films  these  films  must  be  kept  in  constant  cir- 
culation. For  films  teach  only  when  they  are 
used  and  used  properly.  Here  is  where  you 
can  help  by  making  every  film  in  your  library 
available  with  as  little  waste  time  as  possible. 
Plan  now  for  a  more  efficient  film  program. 
Consult  your  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Film 
representative.

operation  of  A-V  equipment,  and  ar- 
ranging special  community  film  screen- 
ings using  "community-interest"  films. 

.Subject  areas  will  include:  child  de- 
\elopment.  community  health,  library 
services,  community  film  services,  con- 
servation, conservation  of  human  re- 
sources, communitv  recreation,  family

promotional  project  aimed  at  building 
the  membership  ranks  of  individual 
councils  and  establishing  new  councils 
in  areas  where  none  exist.  An  en- 
couraging response  has  already  been 
leceived  from  the  state  adjutants  of 
the  American  Legion.  Lists  containing 
thousands  of  member  prospects  have 
been  received  from  affiliate  member 
organizations  of  the  FCA.  Also,  in 
conjunction  with  the  program  the  FCA 
has  prepared  a  new  brochure  entitled 
"Better  Informed  Citizens."  and  a  four 
page  pamphlet  relating  the  historv  of 
the  FCA.  what  a  local  film  council  is, 
the  formula  for  a  successful  council, 
and  the  groups  which  should  partici- 
pate in   local  council  activities. 

FCA's  goal  for  April,  in  short,  is  to 
begin  to  produce,  in  ever  increasing 
amounts,  local  community  councils, 
which  can  promote  organized  coopera- 
tion among  agencies,  groups  and  in- 
dividuals and  to  assure  better  selection 
and  wider  distribution  and  more  effec- 
tive use  of  audio-visual  materials.

"A  Wonderful  Life"  Released 
for  Wider  Church  Showing 

♦  \^'ith  high  praise  for  the  effective- 
ness of  the  film  "A  Wonderful  Life" 
in  the  campaign  for  reaffirmation  of 
Christian  faith  of  five  U.  S.  Protestant 
denominations,  the  Reverend  Vernon 
K.  Hoover,  of  the  Oflice  of  the  General 
Council.  Presb}  terian  Church  I  .  S.  A., 
has  announced  that  the  film  is  being 
released  through  the  Religious  Film 
Association  for  use  by  the  churches 
that  did  not  participate  in  the  original 
campaign. 

■"We  believe  that  the  film,  together 
with  the  program  built  around  it.  has 
brought  to  our  people  not  only  a  new 
sense  of  commitment  to  Christ,  but 
also,  a  new'  awareness  of  the  need  to 
express  this  commitment  in  the  family 
and  in  terms  of  service  to  church  and 
community,''  states  the  Reverend 
Hoover. 

A  Wonderful  Life  runs  45  minutes 
and  is  available  from  most  denom- 
inational and  local  film  libraries,  in- 
cluding those  of  the  Religious  Film 
Association,  for  a  rental  fee  of  -SIO.OO.

Notes  for  Our  "Time  Capsule" 


P 


keflectiojNs  on  educational  television 

iROGIUvSS  IN  EDt'CATION  is  a  slow  and  ofteii- 
|iaititiil  process.  Tlie  e\(iliili(>n  of  "xisiial  ed- 
ucation" lias  had  its  lull  share  of  lioth  procras- 
tination and  denial  from  within  the  profession  and 
among  citizen-leaders  of  school  afl'airs.  F'rom  the  he- 
ginning,  the  profession  has  resisted  "mechanization"' 
of  the  learning  process.  com|ile\ities  of  etpiipment, 
and  the  ill-timed  cries  and  claims  of  "\  isionaries." 
The  obstacles  to  visual  education  progress  could  well 
begin  with  its  lack  of  orderly  plan  and  end  uilli  tiie 
confusion  that  has  persisted  through  the  last  half- 
century  through  the  lack  of  professional,  thorough 
execution  of  the  generally-accepted  and  undenia- 
ble elements  of  such  a  plan. 

In  the  second  year  of  this  new  half-centiu\  there 
is  an  earnest  and  completeh  functional  effort  being 
made  to  ilistill  educational  sound  motion  picture  and 
filmstrip  utilization  down  to  the  countv  and  citv  school 
system  level.  The  map  of  these  LTnited  States  is  slowly 
filling  with  the  shaded  areas  wbich  indicate  the  exist- 
ence of  such  localized-service  facilities,  graduallv  out- 
nioding  the  cumbersome,  less-integrated  and  over-cen- 
tralized state  "mail  order"  film  libraries.  The  pros- 
perity of  filmstrip  producers  is  indicative  of  the  grad- 
ual trend  toward  classroom  recognition  of  the  basic 
premise  of  the  lighted  screen  on  its  simplest  and  most 
basic  level,  at  the  individual  teacher's  fingertips  when 
the  lesson  plan  requires.  More  efficient,  less  cumber- 
some equipment  has  come  from  the  manufacturers  of 
sound  projectors,  filmstrip  and  opaque  equipment  to 
speed  the  dav  of  classroom  utilization  uationtcide. 

State  funds  from  sympathetic  legislatures  in  Cali- 
fornia. Arkansas.  Oklahoma  have  aided  these  trends. 
More  may  well  be  impending  in  the  Carolinas.  Georgia 
and  other  states  where  plans  understandable  to  educa- 
tors and  administrators  and  bearing  their  endorsement 
may  secure  legislative  aid  to  overcome  county  and  lo- 
cal deficiencies. 

The  recent  report  of  the  Michigan  Audio-\  isual 
Association  on  i>rogress  made  without  such  aid  in 
fourteen  city  and  county  systems  is  evidence  that 
similar,  though  more  gradual,  gains  are  being  made 
by  liard-Hiirking  professionals  devoting  their  full  ener- 
gies and  ideas  to  the  job  at  band — a  job  of  tireless, 
thankless  but  urgent  Iv  inq>ortant  service  to  their 
schools  on  a  thoroughly  practical  basis. 

And  then — now — each  day  of  every  recent  month 
a  major  effort  to  confuse,  divide  and  perhaps  to  de- 
stroy these  painfullv-built  programs  of  progress  is  be- 
ing made  by  a  small  but  determined  group  of  empire- 
builders.  These  new  "visionaries"  are  the  ambitious 
salesmen   of   educational   television.     One   of   them   is

n  THE  MUSCULAR  SYSTEM,  a  hu- 
man model  assumes  various  posi- 
tions to  show  that  some  force 
holds  the  human  body  erect  and  in 
balance,  and  enables  the  joints  to 
move.  With  animated  diagrams,  the 
action  of  muscles  in  the  foot  is 
seen  in  helping  support  and  move 
the  body.  Likewise,  action  of  ten- 
dons and  the  contraction  and  re- 

axation  of  muscles  is  seen  to 
move  the  arm.  An  unusual  se- 
quence, aided  by  X-ray  photography 
shows  acting  muscles  of  respira- 
tion —  the  diaphragm,  abdominal 
muscles  and  the  intercostal  mus- 
cles that  lift  the  ribs  and  thorax.

The  Audio-Visual   Journal 


creatinf;  a  new  profesiiioiial  tlirone  for  himself  as  di- 
reelor  of  j\ew  York  Slate's  proposed  network  of  ed- 
ueational  television  stations,  for  wliich  he  is  billed  as 
"drawing  the  jdans."  Tliat  wonhl  he  Paul  Reed,  pres- 
ently of  the  Koeliester  Piil)lic  Schools  and  editor  of 
the  Educational  Screen.  Another  sits  in  the  execu- 
tive chair  of  the  Department  of  Audio- Visual  In- 
struction of  the  ]NEA.  He  is  Mr.  James  MacPherson 
who  has  puhlidy  envied  the  New  York  t.v.  program 
(initiated  in  the  Governor's  cabinet  as  a  political  ma- 
neuver) and  who  has  endorsed  educational  television 
as  llie  "answer"  to  the  "impossil)le"  costs  of  present 
classroom  films. 

Their  <o-workers  are  busy  ])eople.  They  are  pres- 
enth  flominating  almost  every  program  presumably 
devoted  to  audio-visual  education.  Illinois'  struggling 
audio-visual  group  has  no  announced  plans  to  end  that 
state's  deartii  of  progressive  legislation  on  a  practical 
basis.  But  at  this  year's  first  annual  meeting,  Illinois' 
audio-visual  directors  will  be  inspired  by  Chicago's 
jiresent  school  radio  chief  wiien  he  tells  them  of  the 
million-dollar  plans  for  a  <i\ic  "dream"  center  of  ed- 
ucational telecasting  that  now  exists  only  on  paper,  ii 
at  all. 

Superintendents,  curriculum  supervisors,  PTA's  are 
all  fertile  ground  for  such  imaginative,  "progressive" 
visionaries.  Some  legislators  will  listen  most  sympa- 
thetically to  the  creation  of  administration-controlled 
channels  for  such  powerful  thought-control  apjjaratus. 

Shades  of  George  Orwell!    What  are  we  thinking  of? 

Where  is  the  solid  proof  of  the  classroom  value  of 
educational  radio  on  a  broad  basis  worthy  of  its  com- 
paratively puny  costs?  Where  are  the  clear  cut  an- 
swers to  the  need  for  mass  telecasting  of  even  the  finest 
non-commer<'ial  educational  films?  TV  is  a  mass  me- 
dium. Have  we  really  done  so  well  with  the  educa- 
tion of  our  classroom  pupils  that  we  are  now  ready  to 
begin  saving  the  housewife's  soul?  Or  do  the  MacPher- 


Expensive  apparatus  such  as  this  W  OI-TV  tower

sons  and  their  Boswell.  Paul  Reed,  really  think  that 
such  stations  will  be  built  and  maintained  from  New 
York  to  California  for  the  dissemination  of  classroom 
learning?  Of  course  not!  But  the  confusion  in  their 
minds  is  eviilent  from  constant  references  to  the  value 
of  the  small  t.v.  screen  as  sufficient  for  classroom  re- 
<-eption.  etc.  And  Mr.  MacPherson's  ardent  testimony 
before  the  FCC  in  which  he  denounced  the  cost  of  the 
Los  Angeles  City  Schools  film  program  and  offered 
the  existence  of  a  t.v.  station  there  as  the  answer  to 
that  city's  needs  shows  what  they  are  up  to. 

Educational  t.v.  stations  are  powerful  thrones  wliich 
these  hopefuls  want  to  share.  Each  of  them  should  be 
given  a  month's  leave  to  operate  the  nation's  first  exist- 
ing, genuine-pioneer,  educational  television  station  at 
Iowa  State  College,  WOI-TV.  The  lucky  owners  of 
television  sets  around  Ames  learned  about  the  strip- 
tease last  month  from  that  great  delineator  of  culture. 
Milton  Berle  whose  illuminating  Texaco  Star  Theatre 
pavs  Iowa  State  College  every  week  for  the  privilege 
of  edu<'ating  the  regional  citizenry  on  the  art  of  low- 
comedv  in  its  lowest  form.  Any  single  week  you  can 
learn  froui  Roy  Rogers.  Prof.  Ed.  I  Toast  of  the  Totcn  I 
Sullivan:  Martin  Kane.  Private  Eye:  Garry  Moore: 
Dr.  Kate  Smith:  Tom  Corbett,  Space  Cadet;  Captain 
Video:  Gabby  Hayes:  Cisco  Kid:  Groucho  Marx:  Lu- 
cille Ball:  Red  Skehon  and  Martha  Rayc  on  WOI-TV. 

The  innuendos  of  W  hat's  My  Line  are  closely  fol- 
lowed everv  Sundav  evening  by  some  good  tips  on 
homicide  from  The  W  eb  on  Iowa  State's  pioneer  ed- 
ucational t.v.  station.  And  soon  after,  good  old  Martin 
Kane  cleans  uj>  your  Sunday  evening  of  culture  ad- 
vancement while  Iowa  State  has  put  away  another 
fat  little  sum  to  maintain  this  expensive  comnnuiica- 
tions  outlet. 

We  have  no  quarrel  with  progress  nor  any  doubt  of 
the  entertaining  qualities  of  any  of  the  above  popular 
favorites.  But  we  have  serious  doubts  of  the  future  of 
American  ediu-ation  when  it  combines  these  two  in- 
gredients in  the   name  of  public  service. 

More  important  we  will  fight  to  the  limit  those  who 
would  set  aside  all  these  years  of  i)ainfully-won 
achieveiuoiit  on  the  sound  basis  of  classroom  utiliza- 
tion of  soundly-created  audio  and  visual  tools.  Pro- 
fessional audio-visual  leaders  know  what  is  needed  to 
complete  the  evolution  of  this  field  from  the  assembly 
hall  to  the  classroom  jjhase.  They  know  how  difficult 
it  has  been  to  ])repare  and  to  secure  endorsement  lor 
soundly-written  plans  for  statewide  programs. 

Producers  of  classroom  films  will  understand  that 
those  who  projjose  ill-conceived  visionary  schemes  in 
the  name  of  education  are  today's  real  obstacles  to 
continued  progress. 

The  inifinished  j)yramid  of  progress  will  not  be  im- 
proved by  the  erection  of  a  television  antenna.  Not 
until  the  last  stones  have  been  laid  to  reach  the  top.

Conference  Studies  Role  of 
Films  in  Int'l  Problems 

♦  Extensive  use  of  educational  films 
was  featured  throughout  the  National 
Conference  on  the  United  Nations 
called  by  the  L  .  S.  National  Commis- 
sion for  I  NESCO.  a  citizen  group  es- 
tablished by  Congress  to  work  with 
the  I  nited  Nations  Educational.  Scien- 
tific and  Cultural  Organization. 

The  conference,  which  took  place  at 
Hunter  College  in  New  York  late  Jan- 
uary, provided  opportunities  for  2.200 
delegates  from  all  sections  of  the  coun- 
try to  examine  international  problems 
blocking  the  road  to  peace.  Officials 
of  the  I  nited  Nations,  the  UTN  Spe- 
cialized Agencies,  the  U.  S.  and  other 
governments,  as  well  as  experts  from 
many  non-governmental  agencies  par- 
ticipated in  the  conference  activities. 

To  illustrate  the  use  of  educational 
films  in  promoting  thoughtful  consider- 
ation of  international  affairs,  the  Edu- 
cational Film  Committee  of  the  confer- 
ence, headed  jointly  by  Paul  \^'itt  of 
Teachers  College.  Columbia  University 
and  Miss  Emily  Jones,  executive  sec-

considered  such  topics  as  "Peaceful 
Settlement  and  Collective  Security." 
"The  Fight  -\gainst  Ignorance.'"  ".\d- 
vancing  Human  Rights."  and  "Inter-

Double  Premier  For  Gallagher 
With  New  Film  and  Projector 

♦  It  was  a  double  pri'inicr  for  Cal- 
lagher  Films,  Inc.,  in  Green  Bay.  Wis., 
February  9.  when  they  presented  The 
Home  Coming,  a  22-minute,  color, 
sound  |)icture  |)roduccd  for  the  \^  is- 
consin  Odd  Fellows.  For  it  was  also 
the  first  public  showing  of  their  new 
arc  projector  incorporating  the  spe- 
cial RCA  arc-head  projector  assembly. 
More  than  1500  people  saw  and  heard 
the  picture  in  Riverside  ballroom, 
which  is  247  feet  long. 

Large  Kleig  lights  were  used  in 
Hollywood  fashion  for  the  premier. 
The  cast  and  state  officers  were  intro- 
duced. A  song  and  part  of  the  film 
were  carried  over  a  half-hour  radio 
broadcast  direct  from  the  stage  in 
Riverside. 


♦  One  of  the  most  important  prob- 
lems of  our  time  is  squarely  faced  in 
a  new  16nun  sound  film  produced  by 
Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films.  The 
traged\  of  ex<essive  drinking  is  por- 
Iraved  in  Alcoholism,  22-minute  film 
designed  to  focus  interest  on  this  dis- 
ease, to  change  the  climate  of  public 
opinion  that  surrounds  it  and  to  dis- 
pel some  of  the  ni)ths  which  have 
surrounded  an  illness  which  needs 
sympathetic  treatment. 

Alcoholism  attempts  to  show  how 
the  roots  of  excessive  drinking  are 
imbedded  in  personality  difficulties 
often  relating  back  to  the  early  forma- 
tive years  of  the  victims  childhood 
and  how  the  patient  can  be  treated 
through  psychotherapy.  The  film  pre- 
sents a  case  study  of  three  types  of 
alcoholics  tracing  the  development  of 
the  disorder  from  its  origin. 

The  case  of  Ed  Griner  is  given  in 
detail.  Ed  began  as  a  controlled  drink- 
er, but  gradually  reached  the  ])oint 
where  he  was  drinking  heavily  and 
finally  reaches  the  point  where  he  goes 
on  extended  benders.  He  tries  several

at  a  clinic  for  alcoholics  where  his 
case  is  reviewed  and  an  intensive  study 
of  Ed's  personality  is  made.  One  im- 
portant difficulty  they  find  is  that  Ed. 
though  moderately  successful  in  his 
work,  has  a  tendency  to  react  to  au- 
ihoritv  and  responsibility  in  the  same 
way  as  he  did  to  his  father's  overbear-

The  film  cites  two  of  these  cases: 
F  rank  Jarley.  a  machinist  who  used  to 
go  on  solitary  weekend  benders  and 
then  sober  up  for  Monday's  work  and 
who.  after  treatment,  joined  Alcohol- 
ics Anonymous:  and  the  case  of  Mrs. 
Lenford.  a  young  housewife,  who 
drank  a  little  all  day  long  without 
actually  getting  drunk.  She  too  is 
under  treatment. 

Ed  remains  under  treatment  for 
some  time,  learning  through  inter- 
views with  the  doctor  and  others  on 
the  clinic  staff  to  understand  himself 
and  the  forces  which  drove  him  to 
alcoholism.  He  understands  that  he 
can  never  again  be  a  controlled  drink- 
er and  must  never  risk  taking  a  single 
drink.  The  film  ends  with  a  plea  for 
a  better  understanding  of  alcoholism 
as  an  illness  and  of  the  need  for  in- 
creased treatment  facilities. 

Intended  for  high  school  health  and

Art  Creativeness  k  Filmstrips 

by  Ann  M.  Lally 
of  The  Chicago  Board  of  Education 


WHILK  CREATIVE  ART  WORK  is  l)asc<l  ui.n,,  the 
natural  interests  of  children,  teachers  in  large 
classripoin  situatit)ns  are  constaiitl)  faced  with  the 
problem  of  stimulating  groups  of  hoys  and  girls  in  the 
direction   of  purposi\e   creative  activit). 

Making  the  children  nanl  to  "dig  in"  is  as  essential  in 
an  art  lesson  as  it  is  in  anv  other  area  of  human  learning. 

First-hand  experience  such  as  plaving  outdoors,  or  help- 
ing at  home  or  classroom  acti\  ities  like  stor\ -telling  often 
serve  as  the  theme  of  a  young  child's  painting.  Film- 
strips  of  general  interest  to  voung  people  prox  i<le  another 
stimulu.s  for  child  art. 

hi  utilizing  filmstrips  for  creative  picture  making,  best 
results  will  be  secured  when  the  teacher  introduces  the 
strips  to  supplement  the  experience  and  personal  recollec- 
tions of  young  people.  At  the  primary  level  the  strip 
Betty  and  Mother  Go  Shopping^  was  used  when  a  class 
decided  to  work  on  story-telling  pictures  about  local  shops. 
General  discussion  on  activity  within  different  stores  was 
followed  by  a  showing  of  the  strip.  As  a  result,  manv 
unmentioned  items  and  anecdotes  were  added  In  the 
children  to  the  list  of  experiences  they  wished  to  include 
in  their  pictures  about  stores. 

"Coinniunity     Helpers"    Series    Stimulates    Drawing 

Other  filmstrips  which  primary  teachers  may  use  suc- 
cessfully in  stimulating  creative  pictures  are  The  Fireman; 
The  Postman:  and  The  Policeman.'-  These  strips  serve  to 
supplement  children's  knowledge  of  the  work  done  bv  uni- 
formed comnmnitv  workers.  The  discussion  following  the 
showing  of  the  filmstrips  usuallv  reveals  several  dramatic 
work  responsibilities  of  one  or  the  other  service  group 
which  boys  and  girls  have  not  previouslv  considered  as  a 
source  of  picture  material.  In  one  primary  class  a  strip 
served  as  the  inspiration  for  a  folio  of  creative  portraits 
of  23  different  types  of  workers.  Seeing  the  fireman,  the 
postman,  and  the  policeman,  stimulated  a  discussion  of  the 
importance  of  the  milkman,  the  school  engineer,  the  win- 
dow washer,  and  a  host  of  others  included  in  the  portrait 
series  develof)ed  by  the  boys  and  girls  in  this  single  class. 

Several  intermediate-grade  classes  interested  in  design- 
ing transportation  murals  have  enjoyed  viewing  Chicago — 
Transportation'  before  proceeding  with  their  composi- 
tions. The  all-inclusive  nature  of  the  strip  prompted  one 
group  to  develop  a  designed  interpretation  of  the  rail, 
waterway,  highway,  and  air  facilities  of  their  city.  In 
another  class  the  children  decided  to  portray  the  activities 
and  attitudes  of  people  inside  busses,  trains,  street  cars, 
and  airplanes.    Still  other  boys  and  girls  drew  and  painted

uhat  the\  lliiiuglit  they  might  see  from  the  windows  of 
conveyances  travelling  about  the  cit\.  This  approach  re- 
sulted in  startling  air  views,  as  well  as  more  ordinary 
interpretations  of  the  local  scene. 

Science  filmstrips  can  frequently  be  utilized  in  inter- 
mediate and  upper  elementary  grades  in  launching  dis- 
cussions of  plant  forms,  animals,  insects,  and  other  crea- 
tures. When  such  strips  are  used  to  motivate  interest  in 
art  activities  they  should  be  shown  rapidly,  and  followed 
immediately  with  a  discussion  in  which  boys  and  girls 
have  an  opportunity  to  tell  about  other  real  or  imaginary 
nature  forms  they  feel  could  be  used  succesfuUv  in  crea- 
tive art  experiences.  At  this  point  teachers  can  demon- 
strate that  art  does  not  slavishly  copy  nature  either  in 
form  or  color,  and  that  boys  and  girls  have  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  up  new  animal  and  plant  forms  of  their 
own.  as  well  as  develop  color  combinations  which  are 
pleasing  to  them. 

Filmstrips  on  sports,  on  health  practices,  on  social  cus- 
toms and  a  variety  of  other  subjects  can  be  used  as 
motivational  pivots  in  launching  teen-age  high  school 
students  on  original  pictures  or  designs  built  around  one 
or  the  other  of  these  interests.  Teachers  using  general 
filmstrips  as  a  stimulant  to  art  activity  must  at  all  times 
remember  that  they  represent  one  possible  and  relatively 
new  method  of  generating  original  thinking  or  individual 
emotional  responses.  They  should  never  be  used  to  limit 
£i  young  person's  creation. 

These    Color   Filmstrips   Show    Original    Concepts 

The  art  filmstrips  Contemporary  American  Painting* 
can  be  used  in  many  ways  in  high  school  and  junior 
college  art  classes.  Their  function  is  more  than  that  of 
stimulating  an  original  a|)proach  to  subject  matter  since 
they  represent  a  collection  of  the  original  work  of  a  num- 
ber of  outstanding  American  painters.  They  can  be  studied 
by  young  people  for  design  quality,  for  color  handling, 
and  for  general  appreciation. 

The  use  of  the  fihnstrip  is  in  its  infancy  in  art  educa- 
tion. Experimentation  with  general  filmstrips  have  proven 
to  be  an  interesting  additional  method  of  motivating  two- 
dimensional  creati\e  art  expressions.  The  use  of  art  film- 
strips  has  been  found  to  broaden  the  young  person's 
appreciation  of  the  \arious  ways  in  which  a  picture  may 
be  developed   and  completed. 

A  great  many  more  strips  are  needed  in  all  areas.  Pro- 
gressive art  educators  hope  that,  as  additional  art  and 
craft  filmstrips  are  prepared,  many  points  of  view  and 
varied  approaches  to  materials  will  be  included.  •

Your  Money's  U  orth  in   Better  Tools: 


How  to 
BUDGET 

Your  School's 
Audio -Visual 
Program 


•  by  G.   W.   Remington 
The  University  of  Minnesota 


Basic  tools  like  tlie  tape  recorder  and  filni strip 
projector  serve  these  primary  i^raders. 


HOW  MICH  SHOULD  OUR  SCHOOL  SPEND  for 
audio-visual  education?  This  is  a  question  which 
we  hear  very  often  from  school  administrators  and 
from  teachers.  It  is  a  question  which  cannot  be  answered 
glibly  with  so  manv  dollars  per  pupil  or  teacher  for  all 
schools,  but  one  which  has  to  be  worked  out  for  each  in- 
dividual situation.  The  question  can  be  answered  only  in 
terms  of  educational  goals. 

Is  the  school  to  have  a  well-organized  program  of  audio- 
visual education  under  the  direction  of  a  trained  co- 
ordinator with  the  material  carefully  selected  to  integrate 
with  the  units  of  the  courses  of  study?  Or  is  the  school 
just  going  to  run  a  program  of  films  in  the  auditorium  or 
central  projection  room?  If  the  latter,  the  cost  will  not  be 
much  and  the  educational  outcomes  will  be  less.  If  the 
first  type  of  program  is  desired,  then  there  are  three  fac- 
tors to  be  considered  in  working  out  the  cost,  administra- 
tion, equipment,  and  materials. 

Provide   a   Coordinator  For  \  our   Program 

How  much  will  the  administration  cost?  One  of  the 
leading  men  in  this  country  in  the  field  of  audio-visual 
education  suggests  one  full-time  visual  education  staff 
member  for  each  25  teachers.  It  is  reasonable  to  assume 
that  as  faculties  become  larger,  this  ratio  ma\  become 
smaller.  So  staff  cost  is  one  factor,  and  an  important  one. 
If  the  teachers  are  not  trained  in  the  use  of  audio-visual 
materials,  then  the  importance  of  the  co-ordinator  is  in- 
creased, for  he  must  take  charge  of  an  in-service  training 
program. 

The  amount  and  kind  of  equipment  is  a  second  factor. 
To  determine  equipment  needs,  it  is  necessarv  to  know 
how  nmch  time  it  is  desirable  for  each  teacher  to  spend 
using  such  equipment.  Do  you  think  a  teacher  should  use 
a  motion  picture  in  each  of  her  classes  once  each  week? 
This  will  mean  that  a  projector  for  each  five  teachers 
should  lie  pro\ided.  If  you  think  that  a  film  in  each  class, 
once  every  two  weeks  is  sufficient,  then  a  projector  for  each 
ten  teachers  will  be  needed.  This  same  time  application 
can  be  made  to  determine  how  many  slide  lanterns  are 
necessary,  how  manv  film  strip  projectors  or  2  x  2  slide 
projectors  should  be  supplied. 

Owning  .Materials  May  Be  a  Real  Economy 
Material  costs  will  be  the  third  factor.  Should  they  be 
rented  or  purchased?  This  again  is  a  problem  for  each 
school  to  determine.  Obviously  such  low  priced  materials 
as  film  strips,  slides,  transcriptions  and  recordings  are 
more  economical  if  purchased  outright.  If  a  motion  pic- 
ture film  which  costs  S5().00  is  to  be  used  10  or  15  times 
during  a  year,  it  would  be  better  economy  for  the  school 
to  purchase  the  film,  for  with  proper  use,  a  film  can  be 
run  several  hundred  times  before  it  is  worn  out.  If  a 
film  is  needed  only  a  few  times  during  the  year,  then 
pcdiiomy  will  be  best  served  by  renting  the  film  from  a 
film   library. 

In  determining  cost,  the  life  of  equipment  and  materials 
nmst  be  considered.  A  good  motion  picture  projector  or 
a  good  film  strip  projector  should,  with  proper  mainte- 
nance, last  about  eight  years.  A  film  which  is  used  15 
times  in  a  year  should  easily  last  eight  years,  so  original 
costs  of  e(]ui])ment  and  materials  should  be  considered  not

just  as  part  of  the  budget  in  the  year  they  are  acquired, 
but  rather  a  budget  should  be  planned  which  w  ill  spread 
the  cost  of  such  equipment  o\er  a  period  of  five  to  eight 
years.  Even  though  it  may  be  a  part  of  your  long  time 
goal  to  have  a  projector  for  each  five  teachers,  you  will 
not  want  that  much  equipment  at  the  beginning.  It  will 
take  some  time  with  a  good  in-service  training  program 
before  ail  teachers  will  see  the  value  of  using  visual  educa- 
tion materials  freely  and  often. 

\\  liat  It-  tlie  Cost  of  a  \^  ell-Koimded  Prograiny 
Let  us  take  a  hypothetical  case  and  figure  the  cost  of  a 
well-rounded  })rogram  of  audio-visual  education.  The 
equipment  and  materials  used  in  this  problem  may  not 
fit  the  type  of  program  every  school  may  want,  but  it 
will  show  how  to  estimate  costs  of  a  program  when  goals 
for  an  individual  school  are  set  up.  \^V  will  assume  that 
after  several  \ears  of  planning  teachers  are  using  audio- 
visual materials  to  the  extent  that  each  teacher  will  need 
a  motion  picture  projector  and  a  film  strip  or  2  x  2  slide 
projector  once  each  week  for  each  of  her  classes,  and 
that  she  will  be  making  liberal  use  of  slide  lanterns, 
opaque  lanterns,  record  players,  etc.  The  school  chosen 
will  be  a  15  teacher  school  with  450  pupils,  which  is  quite 
typical  of  manv  Minnesota  schools. 

The  first  essential,  of  course,  will  be  to  secure  a  staff 
member  with  training  in  audio-visual  education  to  organ- 
ize the  program,  help  with  the  planning  and  integrating 
of  audio-visual  materials  with  the  curriculum  and  conduct 
a  good  in-service  training  program  with  the  teachers.  He 
should  be  given  one-half  of  his  time  to  devote  to  the 
audio-visual  program.  If  his  salary  is  S3000.  then  S1.5U(l 
of  this  may  be  charged  against  the  audio-visual  budget. 
In  the  matter  of  equipment,  let  the  school  begin  with 
one  each  of  the  commonly  used  projectors,  that  is  one 
motion  picture  projector,  one  combination  film  strip  and 
2x2  slide  projector,  one  S^^  x  4  slide  lantern,  and  one 
combination  record  and  transcription  player.  The  follow- 
ing costs  are  estimates  onlv: 

1   16mni  sound  projector  and  screen  S500.00 

1  film  strip  and  2x2  combination  90.00 

1  slide   lantern   90.00 

1  combination   record   and   transcription 

player 150.00 

S830.00 
Each  teacher  will  use  each  projector  onlv  one  dav  in 
three  weeks  so  material  costs  will  not  be  too  high  to  begin 
with.  Suppose  each  teacher  uses  12  films  per  year  in 
each  of  his  classes  and  teaches  on  the  average  of  four 
different  subjects  per  day.  This  would  mean  48  films  per 
year  per  teacher  or  570  films  per  year.  However,  let  us 
assume  that  the  films  have  a  multiple  use  factor  of  2. 
that  is.  they  mav  be  used  bv  two  teachers  in  two  different 
courses  instead  of  by  just  one  teacher.  That  would  cut 
the  number  of  films  to  half  of  570  or  285  per  year.  As- 
suming an  average  rental  cost  of  SI. 50  per  film,  the  school 
would  spend  S427.5()  for  film  rentals.  Then  if  the  school 
spent  an  equal  amount  for  purchase  of  film  strips,  slides, 
recordings,  etc.,  the  annual  cost  for  materials  for  the  first 
year  would  be  -S855.00. 

The   second   vear.  the  cost  for  materials  could  be   the 


same,  and  the  only  equipment  added  would  be  an  opaque 
projector  for  .S2o6.00. 

At  the  end  of  the  third  i,ear.  the  teachers  will  be  using 
the  materials  so  liberally  that  another  motion  picture 
projector  at  S5()0  and  an  additional  combination  film  strip 
and  2x2  silde  projector  at  S90  will  be  needed.  Bv  this 
time,  the  school  will  own  some  of  their  materials  and  an 
increase  of  50' <  in  the  materials  budget  will  be  sufficient 
to  take  care  of  additional  materials  needed.  During  the 
fourth  \ear.  no  additional  equipment  will  be  purchased, 
and  the  materials  budget  will  remain  the  same  or  about 
si  20(1. 

By  the  end  of  the  fifth  year,  the  program  will  be  moving 
in  high  gear,  and  another  motion  |)icture  projector  at 
??50()  and  another  record  and  transcription  player  at 
sl50  will  be  needed  with  the  materials  budget  increased 
to  .S15(X).  During  the  next  three  years,  little  or  no  equip- 
ment will  be  needed,  and  the  S1500  mav  be  sufficient  to 
lurnish  materials.  Now  let  us  figure  the  total  cost  of  the 
program  over  an  eight  year  period. 

8-year       Annual 
Total  Cost      Cost 

Coordinator  at   S1500  per   year .812.000  .Sl.500.00

Materials  next  three  years  at  S 1.. 500.00  .     4..500  \ 


.S23.825  §2,978.12 

The  average  would  be  about  -§3.000  per  \ear.  -§200  per 
teacher  and  about  -56.66  per  pupil. 

Good  .\udio-\  isiial  Equipment  Is  .\n  Investment 
The  unit  prices  used  in  this  article  may  vary  somewhat 
from  actual  cost  figures.  It  is  possible  now  to  buv  good 
classroom  motion  picture  projectors  for  considerablv  less 
than  .S500  per  unit.  If  a  school  has  a  standard  projector 
for  auditorium  use  it  could  save  some  money  bv  buving 
lightweight  projectors  for  classroom  use.  There  are  sev- 
eral good  lightweight  projectors  on  the  market  now. 
Capital  invested  in  audio-visual  equipment  is  not  great 
when  compared  with  that  invested  in  science  equipment, 
commercial  department  equipment,  shop  equipment,  etc. 
Quite  frequently  a  school  will  spend  a  sizable  sum  for  a 
piece  of  laboratory  equipment  which  is  used  only  a  few- 
times  during  the  year,  while  projection  equipment  can  be 
kept  busy  every  day  in  the  school  year.  If  teaching  effi- 
ciency can  be  increased  from  20  to  40%  by  spending 
§6.00  annually  out  of  the  S160.00  per  pupil  cost  of  educa- 
tion, the  monev    would  be  verv  well  spent. 

I  wish  to  emphasize  again  that  the  problem  used  in  this 
article  is  only  a  hypothetical  one.  The  amounts  of  mate- 
rial and  equipment  may  or  may  not  be  what  a  school  will 
want  or  need.  They  are  used  only  to  show  how  a  school 
may  set  about  to  plan  its  audio-visual  program.  The  needs 
of  a  particular  school  may  make  the  costs  vary  consider- 
ably from  those  of  this  problem.  Thev  could  conceivablv 
be  considerablv  less  or  considerablv  more.  •

Albrecht  Durer's  Woodcuts  Used 
to  Portray  Life  of  Chiist 

*  Albrecht  Durer's  woodcuts,  general- 
ly thought  to  be  among  the  greatest 
ever  produced,  have  been  made  the 
basis  of  a  new  16nim  sound  film 
which  depicts  the  life  of  Christ.  \^ith 
an  original  score  based  on  medieval 
themes.  The  Life  of  Christ  is  narrated 
directly  from  the  New  Testament. 
Msgr.  Ronald  Knox"s  new  translation 
is  available  along  with  the  King  James 
version. 

To  Durer  the  New  Testament  rep- 
resented a  unified  drama  and  this  cine- 
matic interpretation  of  his  work  main- 
tains that  dramatic  unity.  Just  as 
Durer  sought  for  telling  detail  in  the 
natural  world,  the  film  seeks  out  the 
details  of  his  woodcuts,  the  minute 
observations,  the  perfectly  caught  ges- 
tures.

rental  fee  is  .$5.00:  three  days.  S7.50:

X-Rays  in   Dentistry  Featured 
in  Film  "Picture  Your  Teeth" 

♦  The  story  of  x-rays  in  dentistry  and

i:nd  care  for  teeth  is  told  in  the  new 
sound  motion  picture.  Picture  Your 
Teeth,  now  being  distributed  by  the 
Medical  Division  of  the  Eastman  Ko- 
dak Company,  and  approved  by  the

tal care.  It  explains  what  x-rays  are, 
shows  how  they  work,  and  points  up 
the  fact  that  they  are  one  of  the  most 
useful  of  all  tools  in  modern  dentistry.

Pawtucket  Schools  Score  10  Year  Film  Program  Success 


B&H  Filmosounds  play  basic  role.  The  Pawtucket  (R.I.) 
Schools'  tihii  program  has  been  a  success  right  from  the 
start  ten  years  ago.  Today  the  city's  schools  use  twenty 
16mm  sound  projectors  for  the  three-thousand-odd  class- 
room showings  every  year.  And  the  program  is  continu- 
ally expandingi 

Here's  what  W.  E.  Borube,  Director  of  the  Audio -Visual 


Department,  has  to  say  about  his  experience  with  Filmo- 
sound  projectors: 

"No  small  factor  in  the  success  of  our  film  program  is 
the  dependability  of  Bell  &  Howell  Filmosound  projec- 
tion. This  equipment  is  ruggedly  built,  quiet  and  depend- 
able in  operation.  Filmosounds  have  proved  themselves 
in  the  varied  and  hard  use  we  have  put  them  to." 


[iriiii^ 


The  modern  equipment  at  the  disposal  of  this  L-llicitnl  t-uM  as.-jures 
the  continued  success  of  Pawlucket's  Audio  Visual  program.

for  sound  or  silent  films.  Will  reverse  or  show  still  pictures.

If  each  day  you  could  bring  to  your  school, 
an  authority  on  every  subject  you  teach, 
you  would  choose  only  the  outstanding  au- 
thorities. When  )ou  use  EBFilms  you  bring 
these  authorities  to  )our  students.  Every 
EBFilm  is  produced  under  the  close  super- 
vision of  the  great  leaders  in  subject  matter 
and  in  audio-visual  teaching.  Names  such  as 

—  Teacher 

XOdUci(i)Jtmd 
CbmicLGreMilm. 

—  Direcrof,  Yale  Clin.c  of  Child  Development 

The  result  is  films  that  teach  in  the  most 
authentic  way  and  the  most  interesting 
way  .  .  .  films  that  meet  the  highest  educa- 
tional standards  and  at  the  same  time  make 
learning  a  fascinating  adventure. 

Your  school  deserves  this  educationally 
superior  audio-visual  material.  Plan  this

The  Eastman 
16mm.  Projector, 

MODEL  25 


The  complete  high-intensity  Model  2S  arc 
unit,  ready  for  use.  While  designed  and 
constructed  to  be  your  permanent  16mm. 
installation,  it  is  nevertheless  portable  with 
minor  disassembly.  (The  tungsten  model, 
shown  below,  will  be  found  adequate  for 
average-sized  halls  and  auditoriums.) 


Designed  for  theater-quality  perform- 
ance even  under  difficult  conditions,  this 
new  precision-made,  heav\-dut\  sound 
projector  gives  you  the  ultimate  in 
I6mm.  sound  and  image. 

Its  design  principles  are  unique.  A 

geneva  movement  operating  in  a  sealed 
oil  bath  is  the  intermittent  mechanism. 
It  transports  films  surelv  and  gentlv. 
Separate  motors  drive  the  geneva  move- 
ment, the  main  projector  mechanism, 
blower,  and  reel  arms — eliminating  belt 
and  chain  drives — isolating  the  projec- 
tor from  the  shock  sources  these  create. 

The  screen  image  is  flawlessly  bril- 
liant.  Kodak's   finest  optical    s\stem  — 


Liime>iized  Kodak  Projection  Ektar 
Lenses //l. 5  (in  a  choice  of  four  focal 
lengths) — provides  a  picture  in  sharp 
over-all  focus,  with  a  complete,  natural 
range  of  color  tones. 

The    sound    is    amazingly    faithful. 

Kodak's  optical  and  electronic  engi- 
neering provide  high-fidelitv  sound,  and 
exceptionallv  stable  sound  drive  elimi- 
nates mechanical  flutter.  Sound  optics 
may  be  focused  to  get  the  best  reproduc- 
tion from  all  types  of  prints. 

In  short,  the  Model  2  5  will  stand  up 
and  deliver  the  very  best  in  sound  and 
image,  vear  after  year.  For  complete  de-

An  Editorial  Foreword 


rpHE  FIRST  special  guide  to  the 
-*•  many  hundreds  of  sports,  physi- 
cal education  and  recreational  films 
available  to  our  schools,  community 
groujis.  churches,  industrial  and  la- 
bor organizations,  etc.  was  inaugu- 
rated in  1947  as  a  cooperative  ven- 
ture shared  hy  the  present  Editors 
and  the  forward-looking  staff  of  The 
Athletic  Institute.  Inc. 

This  neu  guide  brings  you  up-to- 
date  listings  of  nearly  1,000  such 
subjects,  eliminating  many  older 
tiliiis  and  adding  scores  of  useful 
new  subjects.  It  will  be  supplemented 
bv  a  special  bulletin  of  correction  and 
addition  just  as  soon  as  this  edition 
warrants  the  inevitable  follow-up  of 
that  kind.  Only  principal  sources  are 
listed  in  this  issue  but  it  is  well  to 
keep  in  mind  that  manv  hundreds  of 
i-ominercial  and  educational  film  li- 
braries, some  of  them  in  your  imme- 
diate community  area,  have  stocked 
and  can  rent  or  loan  subjects  listed 
here.  Your  local  film  library  can  help 


ctieck  your  guide  copy  or  write  to 
nearest  listed  source  for  further  in- 
formation. Free  loan  films  available 
from  national  distributors  are  avail- 
able only  from  their  own  network  of 
distribution  points. 

These  are  technicalities  of  good 
film  usage;  much  more  important  is 
the  content  of  the  films  themselves 
and  the  immense  good  which  they  do 
fur  the  audiences  which  enjoy  them. 
(  lubs  and  organizations  using  many

I  hat  their  attendance  at  such  meet- 
ings zooms  upward;  the  pleasure  of 
enjoying  a  good  hunting  or  fishing

benefits  gained  by  our  young  people

ments  of  sport  skills  from  film  ses- 
sions. The  large  number  of  progres- 
sive coaches  who  now  use  their  own 
movie  techniques,  supplemented  by 
the  loan  of  these  available  films,  is 
e\  idence  of  their  teaching  value. 

In  this  field  The  Athletic  Institute. 
Inc.  has  made  a  contribution  through 
its  growing  library  of  the  Beginning 
Sports  Series,  available  in  both 
sound  and  silent  filmstrips.  The  very 
economical  cost  of  these  programs 
|ilus  the  sound  instructional  technique 
ciiiplovt'd  in  their  making  has 
brought  a  new  appreciation  of  visual 
education  potentialities  throughout 
the  athletic  education  fraternity. 

Content  compilation  of  this  new 
guide  was  made  by  special  editorial 
researchers  on  the  staff  of  Ske  & 
Hkar.  Simplicity  and  accuracy  in  de- 
tail and  the  largest  possible  coverage 
of  available  films  were  primary  edi- 
torial considerations.  It  is  hoped  that 
these  aims  have  been  achieved  and 
that  yfiur  1952-5.S  edition  will  get  as 
dog-earned  and  well-used  as  many  of 
our  friends  have  indicated  of  the  pre- 
vious issue.  That  will  be  our  meas- 
ure of  the  value  of  this  contribution.

owned  l()rMin  sound  projector  audienio  used  in  schools, 
eliurciies.  chihs.  etc.  tiiriiu<;hnul  this  land. 

No  less  irnpiirtant  and  niakirij^  a  nupre  liirccl  contribu- 
lion  to  the  development  id  liotli  mind  and  hody  are  those 
basic  instructional  fdm-.  uiiiili  imparl  new  skills  and 
tecliniipies.  The  instructional  phase  of  the  screen  is  weli- 
apjilied  li\  those  coaches  who  re-create  the  events  of  a 
game  so  tiiat  plavers  nia\  benidil  li\  liieir  errors  and 
sometimes  shine  in  their  reflected  glory.  But  this  is  only 
a  small  part  of  it  .  .  .  for  there  are  also  such  programs  as 
the  widely  useful  rules  films  distributed  bv  the  Official 
Sports  Film  Service  and  sanctionetl  b\  llir  \alinnal  Fed- 
eration of  State  High  School  Athletic  Associations  to  im- 
part real  understanding  of  the  rules  which  guide  our  youth 
and  which  are  fundamental  to  the  very  democracy  of  which 
[hr\    nuist  be  a  vital  ]iarl  in  later  years. 

Again  there  are  the  numerous  skill  films  made  by  class- 
room film  ])r()diicprs  such  as  Coronet  and  Encyclopaedia 
Britannica  Films  and  the  hundreds  of  similar  subjects 
made  by  specialists  in  such  widely  diversified  fields  as 
archery,  field  Imckev.  horsemanship,  and  wijiter  sports. 
Every  one  ol  these  and  most  especiallv  such  sjionsored 
programs  as  the  American  and  National  Leagues  of  Pro- 
fe.ssional  Baseball  Clubs  fpioneered  by  baseball  veteran 
Lew  Fonseca).  the  basic  films  of  such  concerns  as  Spald- 
ing. Wilson,  etc..  all  make  a  very  direct  contrijiution  to  the 
ail-American  wav  of  life. 

First  of  all  we  iienefit  by  improved  partici])ation  in  the 
sports  themselves  and  thus  improve  our  minds  and  bodies: 
but  there  is  nuich  to  be  said  for  the  morale  and  recreational 
factor  in  which  films  help  fill  a  winter's  evening  or  give 
some  important  minutes  of  relaxing  personal  interest  to 
factory  workers  at  noon-hour  showings.  The  attendance  up- 
swing which  almost  always  accompanies  a  publicized  film 
showing  is  further  evidence  of  wides|)read  |)ublic  appre- 
ciation and  interest. 

Educational  authorities  have  recognized  the  importance 
of  the  screen  in  modern  teaching  by  the  formation  of  such 
groups  as  the  Audio-Visual  Committee  of  the  College 
Physical  Education  Association.  As  connnittee  mend>cr 
Ross  Allen  so  well  said  "llic  advantages  of  having  liighly- 
shillfil  jiiTliiiiiiriw  lo  serve  one  conslanlh.  In  have  iheir 
movements  available  for  analysis,  lo  have  their  skill  and 
coordination  ohjeclives  for  youthful  performers  lo  attain, 
have  enriched  our  teaching.  A  single  picture  can  replace 
most  effectively  so  many  words."

Tips  for  (Jood  Shows:  Preview 
all  instructional-type  films  be- 
fore class  or  groun  showings  so 
that  you  may  prepare  the  lesson, 
including  key  questions  for  re- 
view after  the  showing.  Tell  the 
class  what  to  look  for;  review 
with  tiiem  what  they  have  seen 
right  after  the  showing.  A  good 
film  lesson  is  only  as  valuable  as 
your  preparation  makes  it. 

Projection  eciuipment  (for 
sound  films  make  sure  you  have 
a  sound  projector  available) 
should  be  checked  before  any 
film  showing.  Proper  room  or- 
ganization, with  especial  care  on 
darkening  and  ventilation,  will 
help  make  any  showing  a  more 
enjoyable  and  profitable  experi- 
ence for  your  audience.  Be  sure 
cords  are  properly  attached  and 
out  of  the  way  of  the  audience. 
Test  the  film  by  running  a  few 
frames  before  the  actual  show- 
ing. Follow  the  manufacturer's 
instructions  on  operation  and 
threading  if  unfamiliar  with 
equipment.  Many  of  these  films 
are  valuable  color  subjects  and 
damage  to  sprocket  holes,  etc.  is 
a  needless  hazard  which  you  can 

avoid    by    careful    preparation.

You  Should  Know  About 
Educational  Films! 


Only  those  instructional  films  produced  since 
World  War  II  are  completely  up-to-date. 


The  striking  advances  made  in  the  pro- 
duction and  use  of  l6mm  sound  educa- 
tional motion  pictures  since  World  War  II 
are  so  enormous  that  pre-war  films  are 
virtually  out-of-date.  New  teaching  tech- 
niques were  developed  and  perfected  dur- 
ing the  war  by  educators  and  by  the 
Armed  Forces.  Improvements  in  color, 
sound  and  subject  treatment  came  out  of 
the  war.  And  these  important  advances 


were  immediately  incorporated  into  edu- 
cational film  production. 

Thus,  only  those  instructional  films 
produced  since  the  end  of  World  War  II 
can  be  considered  completely  up-to-date. 
Educational  motion  pictures  produced 
before  the  war — regardless  of  the  pro- 
ducer— are  almost  as  obsolete  as  pre-war 
world  maps  and  physics  without  nuclear 
fission. 


Coronet  Films  has  produced  70  percent  more  16mm 
instructional  films  since  World  War  11  than  the 
other  three  leading  producers —  combined! 


This  important  finding — taken  from  offi- 
cial records  of  the  U.S.  Copyright  Office, 
Library  of  Congress— proves  that  Coronet 
Films  is  by  far  the  best  source  for  the  most 
modern,  up-to-date  teaching  films  in  the 


world.  The  comparison  chart  below  re- 
veals how,  since  World  War  II,  Coronet 
Films  has  produced  more  educational 
films  than  the  other  three  leading  pro- 
ducers combined.

How  it  works 

An  ingeniously  designed  '"Slip  On"  Spindle  now 
makes  it  possible  to  play  both  large  and  small  hole 
records  with  equal  ease.  Merely  place  the  "slip-on" 
spindle  over  the  permanent  spindle — press — it's 
locked  in  place  to  play  up  to  fourteen  of  the  7-inch 
"45"  records  automatically,  or  single  records  manu- 
ally. Remove  spindle  to  play  standard  78,  or  flip 
lever  to  play  33  '3  rpm  records. 

Special  advantages  to  schools 

With  RCA  Victor's  new  "Victrola"  phonographs, 
schools  can  now  enjoy  all  the  many  advantages  of 
the  "45"  sj'stem — as  weU  as  new  pla>'ing  ease  and 
high  quaUty  reproduction  of  78  and  33 '.-s  rpm  rec- 
ords. Existing  78  rpm  records  can  still  be  utilized, 
while  new  record  purchases  are  made  of  the  supterior 
45  and  33 '3  rpm  records.  This  conversion  to  new 
si)eeds  is  accomplished  economically  and  without 
obsoleting  78  rpm  record  libraries. 

Vonr  local  RCv\  Victor  dealer  will  be  pleased  to  demonstrate 
the  new  "Victrola"  phonographs  and  radio-phonograph  com- 
binations. Send  r<iupon  below  for  literature  describing  the

They  can't  afford  projector  trouble 

at  North  Fork! 


Ikcause  of  its  remote  location,  the  school  district  at 
-North  Fork,  (California,  can't  risk  a  sound  projector 
lirtakdown.  The  district  covers  a  half  million  acres  in 
the  Sierra  Nevada  Mountains  and,  although  Fresno  is 
onlv  45  miles  away,  many  of  these  miles  are  vertical. 

To  the  people  of  North  Fork,  sound  movies  mean  a 
lot  more  than  an  Audio-Visual  teaching  aid.  They  are  a 
source  of  community  education  and  entertainment. 
They  are  used  by  the  Boy  Scouts,  Brownies,  4H  Club, 
and  other  community  groups. 

Mr.  J.  A.  Thomason,  the  District  Superintendent 
and  Principal,  and  his  Audio-Visual  Director,  Mr. 
Norman  Gould,  chose  a  KODASCOPE  PAGEANT 
SOUND  PROJECTOR  for  these  reasons: 

1.  The  Pageant  is  portable,  easily  taken  from  place 
to  place. 

2.  The  Pageant  is  sturdy,  viithstands  heavy  use. 

3.  The  Pageant  is  easy  to  operate  uiid  rtefiiirns  no 
liibricalioii. 

4.  The  optical  system  always  projects  a  sharp,  clear 
picture — corner  to  corner. 

5.  The  sound  svstem  provides  faithful  reproduction 
from  all  types  of  sound  film. 

6.  The   Pageant  is  priced  to  fit  the  most  modest 
school  budget. 

And  how  did  North  Fork's  Pageant  measure  up? 
AJlvr  more  than  IS  months  of  almost  constant  use,  its 
P  AGE  AST  SOL  SD  PROJECiOR  has  never  lost  an  hour 
jrom  mechanical,  electronic,  or  optical  breaki/oun!  In  your 
school,  as  at  North  Fork,  the  Pageant  will  prove  a 
useful  and  dependable  teaching  aid. 

The  Pageant  and  speaker,  in  a  single,  portable  case, 
weigh  only  33  lbs.  .  .  .  list  at  S-iOO.  In  a  two-case, 
4-speaker  unit,  S492.50.  Why  not  let  your  Kodak 
Audio-Visual  Dealer  demonstrate  the  Pageant  for  you 
write  us  for  new  free  booklet.

Battleground:  Why  We  Oppose  the  TV  Boom 


A   SEE   AND   llEAK    EDITORIAL 


THE  PROCESS  OF  FORMAL  EDLCAIION  ol  (ilir  yoilUJi 
people  is  carrietl  on  within  tlie  walls  of  a  mil- 
lion rlassroonis  within  the  seveial  liimdred 
thousand  sehool  huildin<;s  of  these  I  nited  Slates. 
These  huildings  are  inereasinf;  to  the  extent  of  bil- 
lion-dollar construction  fjoals  to  match  the  enormous 
increase  in  our  school  |)opulation  followiiif;  the  war. 

Iliis  is  the  fact  which  underlies  an<l  defines  the 
most  basic  goal  for  real  progress  in  the  field  we  call 
"audio-visual  education."  It  is  our  first  responsibil- 
ity. These  young  learners  and  their  teachers  have 
urgent  need  of  what  no  serious  person  any  longer 
doubts  are  the  most  useful  tools  for  bringing  about 
greater  understanding  of  ideas  and  information  lie- 
yond  the  scope  of  the  jtrinted  page. 

And  yet  the  application  of  tlie  motion  picture,  the 
iilmstrip.  the  tape  or  record  reproducer,  the  opaque 
and  overhead  projector  is  still  limited  to  a  small 
minority  of  all  the  nation's  classrooms.  This  is  the 
fact.  Prove  it  right  or  wrong  in  your  own  schools. 
Hon-  many  times  is  a  motion  picture  shoicn  in  the 
classroom  any  day  or  any  tveek  or  any  month  .  .  .  or 
even  a  filmstrip  or  any  kind  of  lighted  picture? 

This  is  the  limiting,  undeniable  fact  which  makes 
the  economic  well-being  of  the  educational  film  or 
filmstrip  producer  or  the  audio-visual  equipment 
manufacturer  still  dependent  upon  the  comparative 
few  hundreds  of  "regular"'  customers,  ^e  marvel 
at  the  courage  and  tenacity  of  those  who  invest  their 
capital  and  skills  serving  the  unfulfilled  promise  of 
audio-visual  education. 

Do  you  challenge  this  realistic  appraisal  in  light 
of  the  hundreds  of  new  items  listed  in  pages  of  this 
issue  in  our  Fall  Inventory  of  New  Audio-Visual  Ma- 
terials? There  is  a  notable  lack  of  large  return  on 
the  balance  sheets  of  any  concerns  which  can  be  at- 
tributed to  real  income  from  real,  current  school  in- 
vestments in  new  a-v  materials  or  new  a-\  C((ui])inent. 
This  is  still  the  field  of  the  big  future  .  .  .  Iiut  \\liat 
of  the   real  present? 

It  is  a  field  of  too-little  magazines  trying  to  help 
make  the  opportunity  live.  It  is  a  field  of  the  will- 
of-the-wisp,  where  each  new  technique  and  new  me- 
chanical marvel  is  pursued  with  new  enthusiasm  .  .  . 
most  often  to  the  neglect  of  sound,  solid  and  proven 
methods  and  materials  still  unused. 

The  rural  school  at  Kaiser,  Wisconsin  has  only 
two  filmslrips  to  serve  all  eight  grades.  But  enthu- 
siasm in  Wisconsin  is  high  and  so  is  the  budget  for 
new  "educational"  telecasting  equipment.  Wisconsin 
has  done  well  bv  audio-visual  tools,  however,  and  the 


budget  for  the  Universit\'-  liurcau  of  Visual  Instruc- 
tion is  tiic  highest  in  iiistory  this  year.  Nearly  100% 
of  the  secondary  schools  are  equipped  with  at  least 
one  16miu  sound  jirojector;  many  of  the  larger  rural 
or  consolidated  schools  are  getting  ahead.  Continu- 
ing years  of  teacher  training  in  summer  extension 
courses  and  in  the  teachers'  colleges  are  helping  the 
use  of  a-y  toob  ami  to  implant  the  desire  for  more 
of  them. 

And  what  of  the  Emj)ire  State  . . .  New  York?  And 
of  the  numerous  other  states  where  a  most  popular 
subject  among  the  dilletantes  of  "audio-visual"  ed- 
ucation at  current  meetings  is  programming  for  pro- 
posed educational  television  stations.  Here  is  today's 
great  new  "challenge"  ami   it   uuist   be  met  I 

But  this  mechanical  means  of  mass  commimication 
does  not  serve  the  classroom,  except  in  the  confused 
imaginings  of  the  most  visionary  or  for  unusual  his- 
toric events  where  immediacy  is  paramount.  It  does 
imply  a  vast  new  responsibility  by  school  jieople  for 
the  cultural  uplifting  of  home  viewers.  At  a  time 
when  education  is  bard-pressed  for  teachers  and 
teacher  salaries  .  .  .  for  l)uildings  to  serve  crowded 
and  ill-housed  youngsters  .  .  .  for  materials  of  instruc- 
tion .  .  .  legislatures  and  boards  of  education  are  be- 
ing coerced  and  confused  into  making  funds  avail- 
able for  television  stations  for  which  an  omnipotent 
but  ill-advised  Federal  authority  has  set  an  "action 
now-  or  else"  deadline. 

Much  of  the  vigor  and  the  precious  time  which 
should  be  going  into  the  cause  of  audio-visual  prog- 
ress, school  by  school,  state  by  state  is  being  dissi- 
pated in  the  urgent,  virulent  and  well-heeled  cam- 
paign labeled  "educational  television."  Look  at  the 
record  and  some  of  the  results: 

1.  New  York  State  which  has  yet  to  have  any  kind 
of  legislative  aid  for  real  statewide  audio-visual  de- 
velopment I  such  as  made  California  the  model  for 
the  nation  a  few  years  ago)  is  being  "promoted"  for 
millions  of  dollars  worth  of  public  funds  for  a  num- 
ber of  such  t.v.  station  installations.  To  serve  the 
schools?  Or  to  serve  ambitious  politicians  who  seek 
the  power  of  this  mass  medium  which  thus  comes 
into  their  han<ls? 

2.  The  editor  of  one  contemi)orary  "audio-visual 
journal"  is  now  the  ])aid  employee  of  the  Joint  Com- 
mittee on  Edutalional  Television.  This  is  the  au- 
gust body  which  included  in  its  printed  argumen'is 
to  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  the  state- 
ment   that    clas-rooni    film   libraries  were   doomed   as

3.  The  audio-visual  administrator  of  one  Ohio  citv 
is  already  "too  busy"  for  his  regular  chores.  He's 
writing  a  weekly  t.v.  show. 

4.  The  L  niversity  of  Houston,  together  with  the 
Houston  Independent  School  District  has  been  grant- 
ed a  construction  permit  for  t.v.  facilities  by  the  FCC. 
Ditto  Kansas  State  College,  the  New  Jersey  State  De- 
partment of  Education  (action  pending)  ;  the  San 
Francisco  "Bay  Area  Educational  Television  Asso- 
ciation" (action  pendingi  and  numerous  other  ap- 
plications granted  or  pending  for  similiar  facilities. 

There  is  no  doubt  whatsoever  of  the  power  of  tele- 
vision as  a  mass  medium,  imparting  good  informa- 
tion or  bad:  good  entertainment  or,  as  it  is  today  in 
tiip  commercial  sense,  pretty  bad.  We  cite  TV  as  Ex- 
hibit "A"  in  our  "Case  for  Audio-Visual  Progress"' 
because  its  proponents  are  selling  it  under  false 
labels,  at  too  high  a  price  for  an  unknown  article. 
We  attack  the  nationwide  campaign  that  is  being 
waged  for  the  fast  dollar  tiitli  no  questions  asked. 
We  are  not  in  the  least  awed  by  the  Joint  Commit- 
tee's assemblage  of  the  great  names  who  are  pre- 
sumed to  favor  this  great  cause. 

But  we  are  keenly  aware  of  the  fact  that  the  only 
educational  institution  as  yet  really  operating  such 
facilities  (Iowa  State  College  WOI-TV  at  Ames,  Iowa) 
has  practically  proven  the  fact  that  a  majority  of  its 
programs  must  be  comuiercially  sponsored  ( some  of 
the  worst  trash,  incidentally)  in  order  to  survive  de- 
spite its  tax-free,  interest-free,  donated  physical  plant. 

Wherever  state  legislative  aid  is  being  actively 
campaigned  for  in  the  name  of  "educational  televi- 
sion" the  cause  of  similar  statewide  budget  aid  for 
belter  classroom  a-v  use,  for  the  establishment  of 
county^  programs  of  audio-visual  utilization  .  .  .  the 
hope  of  real  progress  in  this  year  and  next  ...  is  a 
lost  cause.  We  sincerely  hope  not  but  see  little  evi- 
dence to  the  contrary. 

Unless  of  course  those  audio-visual  leaders  who 
know  better  can  summon  up  the  courage  and  logic 
needed  to  properly  limit  and  to  help  define  real  long- 
term  goals  for  proving  out  educational  television 
for  what  it  is  and  wliat  it  ran  do.  ^'hy  was  it  neces- 
sary to  set  the  deadline  of  June  2,  1953  upon  tlie  242 
television  outlets  assigned  to  education  by  the  FCC? 
Education  is  the  most  important  single  process  in  the 
nation.  \^  e  might  find  out  how  television  could  be 
made  comi>atible  to  films  and  other  available  tools 
rather  than  comi)etitive  if  time  permitted. 

But  time  and  the  FCC  do  not  permit.  So  there 
will  ])e  less  school  money  for  real  things  to  help 
real  needs  .  .  .  for  films,  filmstrips,  equipment  and 
|n-(i jcclion   facilities  in  modern  school  plants.

ters, such  as  use  of  halos.  ancient 
dress,  tvpe  of  behavior.

California's  Library  School 
Begins  New  Audio-Visual  Research 
♦  A  new  audio-visual  project  under 
the  direction  of  Irving  Liebeniian. 
formerly  executive  assistant  for  the 
Brooklyn  Public  Library,  has  been 
launched  by  the  School  of  Librarian- 
shij)  at  the  University  of  California. 
The  project  has  been  made  possible 
by  a  nvo  year,  828,000  grant  from 
the  Carnegie  Corporation  of  New 
York. 

Purpose  of  the  project  is  to  isolate, 
identify,  and  develop  the  content 
which  should  be  taught  to  the  first 
vear  librarv  school  student  to  enable 
him  '"to  promote,  acquire,  organize, 
and  administer  collections  of  audio- 
visual materials."  It  is  expected  that 
the  project  will  produce  appropriate 
teaching  materials  and  will  result  in 
a  report  which  may  be  useful  to  li- 
brarv schools  generally. 


W.  A.  Wittich  Discusses  Visual 
Methods  in  Church-School  Work 

♦  Walter  A.  Wittich.  director  of  the 
University  of  Wisconsin  bureau  of 
audio-visual  instruction,  recently  em- 
phasized the  "serious  responsibility 
of  our  church-school  work  in  helping 
children  understand  abstract  values 
and  believe  in  them."  He  spoke  be- 
fore a  four-day  audio-visual  institute, 
sponsored  by  the  Wisconsin  Council 
of  Churches  and  the  University  of 
Wisconsin. 

Stating  that  we  live  in  a  different 
kind  of  world  than  that  of  centuries 
ago.  Professor  Wittich  noted  our 
"accelerated  pace"  of  today.  "We  are 
living  in  a  fascinating  environment 
now.  where  youngsters  take  for  grant- 
ed things  that  would  have  seemed 
miraculous  to  their  grandparents," 
Mr.  Wittich  declared,  referring  to  the 
relatively  new  inventions  of  radio, 
motion  pictures,  and  television. 

He  added:  "One  of  the  most  hope- 
ful ways  of  letting  the  children  of 
today  understand  the  past  is  throiigli 
actually  re-creating  the  i)asl.  b) 
means  of  the  visual  methods  of  slides, 
films,  and  other  graphic  materials." 


Oregon  State  College  Establishes 
Two  Bronch  Film  Libraries

W/ashington  State  College  Describes 
ECA  Film  Project  in   New  Booklet 

♦  -More  than  6,00U  industry  and  agri- 
culture films  were  reviewed  during 
the  past  vear  for  the  ECA  by  The 
State  College  of  Washington.  Recom- 
mended films  will  be  used  by  plans 
receiving  aid  under  the  Marshall 
Plan. 

In  the  course  of  the  project  well 
over  a  million  words  were  written, 
including  a  digest,  a  summary,  and 
general  information  about  each  film.

New  Recordings  for  the  Classroom 

SELECTED  RECORDS  FOR  MANY  GRADE  LE\  ELS  AND  SPECIAL  PROGRAMS 


Events  in  American  History 
Dramatized  on  Enrichment  Records 

♦  (^iildflul  i_-\ fills  ill  Anicrican  his- 
lor\  arc  dramatized  for  classroom  use 
oil  two  new  records  released  recenth 
hv  Knrichmeiit  Materials,  Inc.  Long- 
playing  and  unbreakable,  these  SSVa 
rpni  Enrichment  Records  are  adapted 
from  the  popular  series  of  Landmark 
Books. 

Building  the  First  Transcontinental 
Railroad  and  The  Wright  Brothers — 
Pioneers  of  American  Aviation  are 
titles  on  one  of  the  records  (LLP 
104)  :  titles  on  the  other  (LLP  103) 
arc  Paul  Revere  and  the  Minute  Men 
and  Our  Independence  and  the  Con- 
stitution. 

Dramatizes    Factual   Events 

The  railroad  story  is  a  portrayal  of 
the  color  and  excitement  that  were  a 
part  of  the  construction  of  the  first 
transcontinental  line.  The  men  who 
spearheaded  the  project  —  Collis  P. 
Huntington,  Mark  Hopkins.  Charles 
P.  Crocker  and  Leland  Stanford — are 
introduced.  The  strenuous  days  of 
construction,  the  work  songs,  the  bat- 
tle waged  between  Chinese  and  Irish 
laborers  as  they  drew  within  sight  of 
each  other — all  are  presented. 

In  recording  a  dramatization  of 
man's  attempts  to  fly  the  hopes  and 
disappointments  of  the  Wright  Broth- 
ers are  followed  as  they  test  the  ex- 
citing idea  of  adding  a  motor  to  a 
glider.  Sounds  of  early  motors  are 
recorded  as  the  two  men  strive  to  get 
their  flying  machine  off  the  ground. 
The  record  includes  a  .salute  to  the 
Wright  brothers  and  aviation  by  Cap- 
tain Eddie  Rickenbacker. 

In  the  recording  on  LLP  103,  Paul 
Revere's  famous  ride  is  shown  to  have 
had  its  beginnings  in  ihc  patriot's 
boyhood.  Paul's  French  father  teaches 
him  the  meaning  of  freedom:  Paul, 
as  a  boy,  climbs  the  tower  of  the  Old 
South  Church:  as  he  matures,  he 
participates  in  the  activities  of  men 
who  are  becoming  dissatisfied  with 
British  jiolicies;  when  his  big  moment 
arrives.  Paul  Revere  is  ready  to  make 
history. 

On  the  reverse  side  of  the  Revere 
record  is  a  dramatization  of  the  his- 
toric    meetings     which     resulted     in 


America's  Declaration  of  Independ- 
ence and  Constitution.  Tom  Paine. 
Alexander  Hamilton,  Thomas  Jeffer- 
son, Benjamin  Franklin,  and  George 
Washington — all  are  represented  as 
their  voices  are  once  again  raised  in 
the  passionate  fight  for  a  young 
country's  freedom. 

Here  Are  Other  Titles 

Other  titles  in  the  Enrichment  Rec- 
ord series  are :  Voyages  of  Christopher 
Columbus:  Landing  of  the  Pilgrims: 
California  Gold  Rush :  and  Riding  the 
Pony  Express.  Additional  titles  are 
in  preparation. 

The  Enrichment  recordings  are 
prepared  with  the  assistance  of  the 
following  board  of  educational  au-

Your  interesting  editorial  on  edu- 
cational-TV seems  to  be  predicated 
upoji  certain  assumptions  about  busi- 
ness, finance,  and  education  which 
are  open  to  some  debate.  The  general 
trend  of  your  argument  is  that  we  are 
getting  wav  ahead  of  ourselves  bv 
going  into  TV  when  we  have  not  vet 
developed  the  connnon  classroom  aids 
beyond  a  primitive  stage  of  utiliza- 
tion. Moreover,  the  great  expendi- 
tures that  must  be  laid  on  the  line  for 
TV  are  bound  to  cut  deeplv  into  ordi- 
nary audio-visual  allocations. 

This  is  not  an  idea  that  some  of  the 
rest  of  us  have  not  thought  about.  In 
fact,  a  great  many  teachers  fear  that 
TV  expenditures  will  cut  into  their 
salaries  just  as  they  fear  that  movies 
will  replace  them  in  the  classroom 
and  render  their  jobs  unnecessarv. 

1  see  no  reason  why  educational 
TV  will  not  result  in  the  greatest 
stinmlation  for  use  of  all  tvpes  of 
audio-visual  materials  in  the  schools 
and  outside  the  schools.  A  little  re- 
flection will  reveal  that  TV  is  no  sub- 
stitute for  any  present  type  of  class- 
room teaching  aid  except  radio  and 
never  will  be.  TV  programs  must  be 
of  a  general  nature,  by  necessity, 
whether  used  in  the  schools  or  for 
home  viewing.  1  see  no  conflict  here 
with  classroom  aids. 

The  matter  of  competition  lor  the 
scarce  tax  dollar  is  much  more  seri- 
ous. The  plan  in  Illinois  seems  to  be 
pointing  toward  tapping  no  existing 
educational  fund  of  any  kind  for  TV, 
but  asking  for  a  new  fund  to  support 
a  state  TV  network  to  be  administered 
bv  a  Radio-TV  Council  appointed  b\ 
and  financed  by  the  Legislature.  Mv 
thinking  along  this  line  is  TV  beamed 
toward  adult  education  of  a  work-a- 
dav  tvpe.  because  the  average  educa- 
tional level  in  this  country  is  onlv  9.3 
grades,  and  even  if  it  were  19.3 
grades,  no  person  can  learn  enough 


general  information  in  his  youth  to 
last  him  all  the  rest  of  his  life.  WOI- 
TV  has  demonstrated  the  unlimited 
scope  of  educational  programs  once 
the  public  catches  on  to  the  poten- 
tialities inherent  in  the  medium. 

With  our  national  income  doubling 
once  everv  30  years.  I  don't  see  how 
anyone  can  subscribe  to  an  economy 
of  scarcity  and  the  idea  that  there  is 
just  so  much  money  to  go  around. 

One  reason  why  there  aren't  more 
audio-visual  materials  in  schools  is 
the  amateurish  and  uncoordinated 
condition  of  the  industry.  Television, 
as  voung  as  it  is,  is  more  mature. 
Take  for  example  the  lack  of  stand- 
ardization in  16nim  projector  exciter 
lamps.  Note  the  high  cost  of  mer- 
chandising audio-visual  equipment, 
and  the  lack  of  local  servicing. 

If  the  audio-visual  industry  will 
give  some  of  us  educators  full  support 
and  encouragement,  we  can  do  a  tre- 
mendous amount  toward  the  job  of 
getting  audio-visual  materials  ac- 
cepted in  the  schols  at  the  point  where 
the  budget  is  designed.  We  must  have 
a  combined  educator-NAVA  policy 
committee,  however,  just  as  soon  as 
possible.  This  should  be  a  committee 
of  long  tenure,  made  up  of  people 
who  really  belong  to  the  major  league 
and  who  are  seasoned  planners.

EDUCATIONAL  TV 

•    "It  is  difficult  to  find  anyone 
who    is    not   enthusiastic    about 
the  prospects  of  using  television 
in   education,   or   is   it  that  the 
opponents    of   such    a    program  ' 
are    afraid    to    speak    up?    The 
editor  of  See  and  Hear  Maga-

voice  in  the  negative.    Not  that 
he  is  opposed  to  educational  TV 
but  in  his  editorial  in  the  Octo- 
ber   issue   he  calls   attention   to 
the   effect   of   the    current   cam-

"NOW   IS  NOT   THE  TIME" 
To  the  Editor: 

I  have  read  your  editorial  on  edu- 
cational television  and  feel  encour- 
aged in  my  conviction  that  '"now  is 
not  the  time." 

A  number  of  communities  here  in 
Florida  are  feeling  the  pressure  of 
individuals  who  could  hardlv  he  de- 
scribed as  w  ise  councilors  of  the 
school  systems.  We  are  now  trying  to 
assemble  information  which  can  be 
used  to  head  off  what  could  be  a  trag- 
edy in  the  handling  of  school  funds. 

I  am  sure  you  have  given  a  great 
deal  of  thought  to  this  problem  and 
perhaps  have  accumulated  some  data 
on  the  financing  and  operation  of  a 
school  owned  station.  I  feel  that  a 
few  glaring  statistics  as  to  cost  of  in- 
stallation, mechanical  operation  and 
maintenance,  salaries  of  technicians, 
program  supervisors,  specialists  and 
assistants  plus  cost  of  sets  to  be  in- 
stalled in  each  school  will  have  a 
sobering  effect  on  some  of  the  indi- 
viduals who  must  place  their  stamp 
of  approval  on  the  expenditure  of 
school  funds. 

Among  other  factors  which  are  not

the  time  consumed  by  teachers  and 
children  in  preparing  and  presenting

If  you  are  over  21   (or  under  101),  follow  the 
example  of  our  hero,  Ed  Parmalee,  and  face 
the  life-saving  facts  about  cancer  as  presented  in 
our  new  film  "Man  Alive!".  You'll  learn  that 
cancer  is  not  unlike  serious  engine  trouble- 
it  usually  gives  you  a  warning: 

( 1 )  any  sore  that  does  not  heal     (2)  a  lump  or 
thickening,  in  the  breast  or  elsewhere     (  3  )  unusual 
bleeding  or  discharge     (4)  any  change  in  a  wart 
or  mole     (5)  persistent  indigestion  or  difficulty  in 
swallowing     (6)  persistent  hoarseness  or  cough 
( 7  )  any  change  in  normal  bowel  habits.  Any  one 
of  these  symptoms  should  mean  a  visit  to  your 
doctor.  Most  cancers  are  curable  //  treated  in  time! 

You  and  Ed  will  also  learn  that  your  best 
"insurance"  against  cancer  is  a  thorough  health 
examination  every  year— twice  a  year  if  you  are  a 
man  over  4.5  or  a  woman  over  35.

WANTS  REPRINTS  OF  EDITORIM. 
To  the  Editor: 

Your  excellent  editorial  in  the  most 
recent  issue  of  SEE  &  HEAR  on  tele- 
vision has  just  come  to  my  attention. 

Congratulations  for  a  good  clear 
exposition  of  the  true  facts.  You  have 
|3ut  into  words  clearly  what  I  have 
man\  times  tried  to  sa\  but  never 
quite  so  satisfactorily  as  in  \our 
editorial. 

Can  we  get  reprints  of  the  editorial 
from  you  for  distribution — or  can  I 
have  your  permission  to  reprint  it 
with  proper  credit? 

We  especialh  need  to  bring  some 
sense  into  the  thinking  of  many  peo- 
ple in  Southern  California.  The  same 
bunch  that  tried  several  years  ago  to 
stampede  us  into  a  statewide  F.M. 
radio  network  at  a  cost  of  SlVj  mil- 
lion, are  now  blowing  the  horns  for 
"educational  television."  My  ques- 
tion to  the  advocates  of  T.V.  is  simply 
— where  are  vou  going  to  get  the 
necessary  programs — and  how  can 
you  pa\  for  them?  If  films  are  going 
to  be  used,  then  they  can  better  be 
shown  directly  in  the  classroom  and 
scheduled  to  meet  the  real  needs  of 
the  pupils.

Texas  Educators  Form  State

♦  Meeting  in  San  Antonio,  a  group 
of  professional  educators  including 
directors  of  visual  education,  cur- 
riculum coordinators,  and  supervisors 
of  instruction  organized  a  profes- 
sional association  called  TEXAVED 
I  Texas  Audio-Visual  Education  Di-

this  new  organization  is  to  bring 
ahout  a  wider  and  more  effective  use 
of  audio-visual  instructional  materi- 
als in  the  elementarv  and  secondary 
schools,  colleges,  and  universities  and 
adult  groups  throughout  the  state  of 
Texas. 

This  follows  a  tradition  of  state 
audio-visual  organizations.  Similar 
groups  have  formed  organizations  in 
Oklalioma.  California.  Rhode  Island. 
Illinois.  Michigan,  and  Indiana. 

Officers  of  TEXAVED  are:  Presi-

membership.  Frank  Neusbaum.  Penn-

the  awards  committee  presented  the 
resolution  after  extensive  discussion

The  contest  was  established  three 
years  ago  to  give  incentive  to  Lni-

their  production  techniques  and  film 
qualitv  and  to  give  recognition  to 
praiseworthy  educational  films.  Films 
were  to  be  submitted  bv  the  member 
units  to  a  screening  committee  which 
was  responsible  for  selecting  the  bet- 
ter films  in  each  of  three  categories. 
These  films  then  were  to  be  shown  to 
the  membership  and  the  best  film,  in 
each  category  was  to  be  given  recog- 
nition in  the  form  of  a  certificate  and 
plaque. 

The  resolution  to  discontinue  the 
contest  was  submitted  on  the  basis 
that  1  I  showing  films  under  contest 
conditions  may  lead  to  dissensions

South  Carolina,  sponsored  a  series  of 
five  Audio-Visual  workshops  during 
the  we^  of  Xorember  3.  Conferences 
which  covered  both  afternoon  and 
evening  sessions  were  held  at  Colum- 
bia. .\nder5on-  Greenwood,  Sj>artan-

3  000  Attend  Audio-Visual  Program 
at  Santa  Monica  City  College 

♦  Santa  Monica's  City  CoD^e  was 
recently  the  scene  of  one  of  the  larg- 
est audio-visual  confoences  ever  hdd 
in  California.  More  than  3.000  teach- 
ers, parents,  and  community  workers 
attended,  according  to  an  estimate  of 
Maiston  Jones,  president  of  die 
Audio-Visual  Education  Association 
of  California.  Southern  Section,  spon- 
sor of  the  conference. 

More  than  25  continuous  exhibits, 
demonstrations,  and  previews  of  the 
latest  audio-visual  materials  and 
equipment  were  featured.  Teachers 
along  with  audio-visual  dealers  and 
community  leaders  demonstrated  the 
latest  audio-visual  techniques.  Al- 
though the  conference  featured  "mak- 
ing and  using"  audio-visual  materials 
for  the  classroom,  use  of  such  mate- 
rials by  community  groups  was  not 
overlooked. 

Dr.  Alexander  Stoddard,  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Los  .Angeles  Gty 
Schoob,  discussed  "Educational  Tele- 
vision," which  was  followed  by  a 
closed-circnit  demonstration  educa-

tion will  be  administered  by  the  Film 
Council  of  America,  Dr.  Paul  A. 
Wagner,  executive  director  of  the 
FC\  announced  recently. 

Dr.  Wagner  stated  that  as  rapidly 
as  possible  these  film  discussion  series 
«ill  be  initiated  in  communities  all 
over  the  nation.  The  Ellm  Council  of 
.•Vmerica  is  responsible  for  the  pro- 
motion of  the  program,  for  the  distri- 


bution of  the  printed  materials  and 
for  the  coordination  of  film  distribu- 
tion to  groups  purchasing  the  printed 
materials.  The  leaflets  describing 
each  series  are  available  at  no  charge 
from  the  FC\-  600  Davis  St_  Evans- 
ton,  IIL  Sample  kits  of  each  series 
are  available  at  $1.85.  Charles 
Bushong.  director  of  adult  education 
programs  for  the  FCA.  is  in  charge 
of  the  Film  Discussion  Project. 

The  "Great  Men  and  Great  Issues 
in  Our  .-Vmerican  Heritage"  and 
""Worid  .\ffairs  Are  Your  Affairs" 
programs  were  launched  by  the  Fund 
for  Adult  Education  on  an  experi- 
mental basis  early  in  1952  under  the 
direction  of  Eh-.  Glen  Bnrch.  These 
series,  using  motion  pictures  and 
printed  materiab  in  a  series  of  re- 
lated subjects,  have  been  tested  with 
122  groups  in  76  communities.  In 
the  light  of  that  experience  certain 
revisions  have  been  incorporated,  and 
both  programs  are  now  available  for 
general  distribution. 

The  "World  Affairs"  series  opens 
with  a  discussion  of  the  relationships 
of  the  .\merican  citizen  to  world 
events,  proceeds  to  an  examination 
of  eight  critical  areas  in  the  world, 
and  closes  with  a  program  on  world 
trade.  The  "Great  Men  and  Great 
Issues"  series  presents  ten  fihn  biog- 
raphies of  great  Americans  with 
e^ays  on  the  i^oes  these  men  dealt 
with  and  the  application  of  their 
ideas  to  the  problems  we  face  todav.

Scientific  Film  Congress  Meets 

Repoili-.l  lor  SEK  &  HKAII  l)y  Tom  Hope 


PRORMil.V  IIIK  LONGEST  film  gath- 
cririf;  in  llit-  world  ^^a^i  the  ()th 
Congress  of  tlu-  Intcnialioiial  Sci- 
entific Film  Association  uliich  lasted 
nine  days.  Held  in  Paris  this  year 
with  representatives  from  22  nations. 
o\er  100  films  were  screened  in  tiic 
four  fields  of  activities  in  the  ISFA — 
research,  medical,  industrial,  and  edu- 
cational. 

Of  greatest  interest  to  many  were 
the  films  from  behind  the  Irmi  Cur- 
tain. The  Communists  tried  to  show 
off  their  best  but  even  the  non-profes- 
sional film  reviewer  found  them  some- 
what naive  in  story  although  well 
done  technically.  Russia.  Poland. 
Czechoslovakia,  and  East  Germany 
all  had  films  at  the  Congress. 

Behind  the  Iron  Curtain 
One  of  the  best  was  an  East  Ger- 
man piciure.  "Working  With  a  New 
Spirit."'  That  productivity  film 
brought  out  a  different  i)hilosoph> 
from  that  of  the  United  States  Mutual 
Security  program  ideas.  Instead  ol 
using  work  simplification  methods 
and  time  studies,  the  Germans  showed 
that  each  individual  worker  di3  his 
best  to  improve  and  increase  his  out- 
put. When  one  of  them  had  achieved 
a  good  goal,  he  was  the  hero  in  that 
plant  and  was  told  to  ex|}lain  the  se- 
cret of  his  success  to  his  fellow  work- 
ers. Of  course  the  film  didn't  mention 
that  the  entire  individual  quota  per 
worker  was  raised  ifter  that  with  the 
minimum  set  at  that  good  worker's 
highest  achievement.  Likewise  the  sys- 
tem of  arriving  at  that  good  goal  was 
througli  a  haphazard  unscientific  ap- 
proach. 

Another  Iron  ("nrtain  lijin  from 
Poland  showed  proudi\  that  Poland 
now  had  tractors,  fork  trucks,  etc. 
One  item,  somewhat  ingenious  to 
some  viewers,  was  a  truck  unloader 
which  is  fairly  new. 

Color  Film  from  Hiingarv 
One  of  the  most  beautiful  films  ex- 
hibited was  one  from  a  Russian  sate- 
lile.  Hungarv.  The  picture.  The  F.vn- 
III  lion  of  Lakes  shot  with  Agfa  color, 
brought  out  many  "oh's"  and  "ah's" 
over  the  |)hotogra[)hic  quality. 

With  106  films  screened  over  the 
nine  day  period  it  is  difficult  to  give  a 
complete  review  of  them  all.    One  of 


those  creating  a  great  deal  of  interest 
vsas  an  industrial  film  frt)ni  (»reat 
Britain.  Inlrodiiciriii  the  i\eiv  Worker. 
Made  for  the  British  government  in 
connection  with  our  MSA  program, 
the  picture  has  a  fresh  approach  to 
the  subject  of  the  new  eniplovee  in  a 
factor). 

It  pictures  a  young  inaji.-applying 
for  a  job  and  going  to  worlc  his  first 
day  as  well  as  his  first  few  weeks. 
After  a  time  he  becomes  discouraged 
with  his  job  and  quits.  Thei).the  nar- 
rator suggests  that  they  repeat  the 
film  and  take  the  chap  in  tOi<vork  for  ' 
the  first  day  all  over  again.  Written 
with  a  good  sense  of  humor,  the  film 
gives  a  good  lesson  to  sup^vi^rs  on 
the  right  way  to  greet  and  handle  a 
new  worker. 

Seventv-three  delegates  and  observ- 
ers fron\  Europe.  North  and  .South 
AmeriGa,  Africa.  .\sia,  and  Australia 
attended.  They  :  were  from  South 
\frica.  Australia.  Austria.  Rejcium.

Sectional  Meetings  Featured 

During  the  nine-day  con\fnlion. 
every  morning  was  devoted  to  busi- 
ness meetings,  committees,  and  the 
like.  In  the  afternoon  two  of  the  four 
sections  of  the  congress  held  show- 
ings and  demonstrations  in  their 
fields — research,  medicine,  induslrv. 
and  education.    Each  evening  a  sinale 


slio«  ing  of  a  mixed  varietN  of  films 
were  presented  in  the  auditorium  of 
the  Chemical  Society  Building,  where 
the  film  congress  held  forth. 

The  association  reelected  John 
Maddison  of  Great  Britain  as  presi- 
dent. Other  officers  are  Jan  Korngold 
of  Poland  and  Prof.  Mario  Ponzo  of 
Italy  as  vice  presidents:  honorary 
treasurer.  J.  W.  Varossieau  of  Hol- 
land: honorary  secretary.  Jean  Pain- 
li'\c  of  France:  curator  of  the  film 
reference  lilirar\.  1-uc  Harsaerts  of 
Belgium;  and  delegate  for  Latin 
A,merica,  Prof.  R.  V.  Talice  of  I  ru- 
guay. ,. 

Review  o£  Technical  Progress 

The  associtltion  voted  to  add  a 
^fth  section  to  its  organization,  which 
will  be  concerned  with  scientific  vet- 
erinary work.  A  committee  was  set 
up  uhich  is  to  study  the  results  of 
scientific  films  and  a  special  session 
on  equipment  and  its  future  possibil- 
ities was  agreed  upon.  The  ISFA  de- 
cided to  sponsor  the  film  Atoms  at 
Work  and  to  encourage  more  such 
films  for  future  production. 

Discussions  were  held  on  the  prob- 
lem of  getting  international  financing 
of  important  films.  One  such  film  has 
been  produced  by  Belgium  and  Hol- 
land in  ths  medic;*!  research  field. 

Other  subjects  jpsciissed  and  dem- 
oiielmted  *in  '.^^ny  cases  included 
three  dimensional  films,  magnetic  film 
projection,  light  intensity  of  the 
image,  the  use  of  film  loops  in  train- 
ing work,  and  a  new  high  speed 
camera. 

The  latter  was  invented  by  a 
Frenchman,  Maurice  Girardin  of 
(rrenoble.  who  savs  that  the  camera 
using  lf)mm  film  can  take  pictures  up 
to  75.000  frames  per  second.  Nor- 
mally it  takes  pictures  at  .'5.000  per 
second.  The  camera  is  built  with  a 
drum  inside  which  has  80  separate 
lenses.  The  revolving  drum  passing 
the  lens  opening  forms  its  own  shut- 
ter sjieed  as  it  travels  along  with  the 
film.  The  demonstration  film  among 
other  things  dramatically  showed  a 
television  tube  being  smashed  by  "im- 
plosition."' 

One  new  type  of  third  dimension 
11  Im  was  demonstrated.  The  effect  is 
achieved  with  a  special  screen  re- 
sembling an  inverted  cone  which  has 
slats  all  the  way  around.  The  third 
dimension  effect  is  obtained  by  whirl- 
ing the  screen  as  the  film  is  projected 
on  it.  No  special  polaroid  glasses  are 
necessary.  •

Dy  all  odds,  the  biggest  single  service  problem 
with  motion-picture  projectors  is  faulty  lubrica- 
tion," is  the  opinion  of  Audio- Visual  experts, 
coast  to  coast.  Too  little  oil  encourages  wear. 
Too  much  oil  gums  up  working  parts,  stalls 
motor,  collects  dirt,  impairs  performance. 

Recognizing  lubrication  as  a  major  problem, 
Kodak  engineers  set  out  at  the  start  to  design  a 
projector  ■which  would  eliminate  lubrication 
worries.  The  result — the  sensational  Kodascope 
Pageant  Sound  Projector  with  its  ^permanent 
lubrication.  Oil-impregnated  bearings  . . .  sealed- 
in-oil  ball  bearings  .  .  .  "lifetime"  oil-retaining 
pads  .  .  .  low-friction  nylon  gears  .  .  .  and  a 
minimum    of    moving    parts,    all    assure    quiet. 


trouble-free  operation — month,  after  month,  after 
month.  You  can  forget  all  about  lubrication! 

Yet,  you  really  have  to  see  and  operate  this 
superb  new  I6mm.  sound-and-silent  projector  to  • 
truly  appreciate  its  many  unique  advantages.  Your 
Kodak  Audio- Visual  Dealer  will  be  glad  to  show 
it  to  you — either  the  one-case,  single-speaker 
Pageant  for  classroom  and  small  auditorium  use, 
or  the  matched-case,  four-speaker  Pageant  for 
ideal  sound  reproduction  under  difficult  acous- 
tical conditions.  Or  fill  in  and  mail  the  coupon  at 
right  for  complete  details  about  the  Pageant,  List 
price,  $400  with  single  speaker;  Kodak  Multi- 
Speaker  Unit,  $92.50.  (Prices  are  subject  to 
change  without  notice.) 


rfie  Pageant  gives  you  these  other  important  advantages,  too! 

•  Built-in  Fidelity  Control  focuses  scanning  beam  exactly  on  sound  track  for  the  finest  tone 
reproduction  from  a/l  types  of  l6mm.  sound  films. 

•  Unique  field-flatieninu  element  in  the  Pageant's  optical  system  gives  you  crisp,  corner- 
to-corner  screen  images. 

•  Operation  is  so  simplified  that  students  make  excellent  projectionists  with  only  a  few 
minutes'  instruction. 

•  Accepts  microphone  or  record-player  attachment  for  use  with  silent  films  and  also  can 
be  used  as  public-address  system. 

•  Compact,  simple  to  set  up,  the  Pageant  can  be  used  ...carried...  any  where  on  quick  notice.

The  Motion  Picture  Camera  and  a 
Gifted  Creator  Speak  to  Millions — 

Of   Science  and 
the  Power  of  God... 

MOODY  SCIENCE  FILMS  BY  DR.  IRW  L\  MOON 
BRING  NEW  UNDERSTANDING  TO  LAYMEN 


IT  is  most  evident  tliat  never  before  in  liistory  has  man 
been  so  concerned  with  nonessentials  as  he  is  in  our 
own  dav.  Descriptive  phrases  which  sum  up  this 
j)hase  of  the  twentieth  century  are  not  lacking — The  Age 
of  Anxiety,  The  Aspirin  Age,  The  Age  of  Television — and, 
if  one  takes  the  time  to  analyze  these  descriptions  of  his 
apparentlv  purposeless  activity,  one  might  find  that  the 
common  element  present  in  them  all  is  man's  distraction. 
In  other  times — and,  even  in  our  own  day  in  less  fortunate 
parts  of  the  world — all  man's  time  was  used  in  working 
1(1  sta\  alive.  He  plowed  the  fields,  feeling  the  dirt  in  his 
feet  and  the  sun  in  the  heavens,  and  he  did  not  need  to  be 
an  astronomer  to  know  that  his  work  day  was  marked  by 
the  passage  of  the  sun.  The  wind  that  rustled  the  corn  in 
his  fields,  the  sun  that  caused  his  eyes  to  smart  as  the  sweat 
trickled  into  them,  the  stars  and  moon  and  sea  were  all 
part  of  his  daily  existence  because  they  were  at  the  same 
time  his  partners  and  his  opponents  in  the  never-ending 
struggle  for  existence. 

Material   Progress   But   What    of   Reflection? 

In  Aristotle's  time  a  consciousness  of  the  natural  world 
caused  children  to  wonder  about  the  movement  of  the  sun: 
todav  they  stand  in  open-mouthed  awe  before  a  television 
.■ict;  the  possibilities  for  distraction,  in  short,  have  prodigi- 
ously multiplied  in  proportion  to  the  improvement  in  com-

novel  has  been  replaced  with  digests  of  capsulized  informa- 
tion with  which  all  can  agree.  The  pleasures  of  distraction 
have  replaced  the  capacitv  to  wonder. 

To  decry  this  movement  of  progress  is  but  to  bury  our 
heads  in  the  sands  of  an  always  nostalgic  but  never  quite 
accurate  conception  of  the  past.  Modern  communication  is 
also  a  force  for  tremendous  accomplishment  and  it  is  no- 
where more  evident  than  in  a  series  of  films  that  have  been 
acquiring  a  reputation  for  again  inspiring  people  to  a 
sense  of  wonder. 

The  Relationship  of  Science  and  Religion 

The  Moody  Bible  Institute  for  the  past  few  years  has 
been  quietly  producing  and  distributing  films  which  ex- 
amine the  world  about  us  and  which  proclaim  in  a  small 
but  powerful  voice  that  in  this  day  of  distraction,  in  this 
Age  of  the  H-Bomb.  science  is  not  an  uncontrollable  force 
for  destruction  but  is  a  power  that  comes  from  God. 
Quietly,  sincerely,  and  with  consummate  artistry,  these 
fihns  without  even  the  slightest  hint  of  proselytizing,  have 
revealed  to  thousands  of  people,  adults  and  children,  in 
schools,  clubs,  business,  and  industry  that  there  is  a  mean- 
ing and  truth  in  science  that  comes  not  from  man  alone. 
As  many  are  propelled  through  the  swiftly  revolving  doors 
of  modern  civilization,  these  films  quietly  say:  "Wait — • 
let's  take  a  look  at  a  few  of  the  things  that  are  really  im- 
portant." 

And  how  do  they  do  it?  Simply  by  dramatizing  that  God 
cannot  be  escaped,  that  He  is  all  around  us.  not  only  in 
the  obvious  wonders  of  nature  but  even  in  the  most  incon- 
spicuous snowflake  that  falls  to  the  ground. 

Five  Films  Available  in  Series  to  Date 
The  titles  of  the  films  give  some  indication  of  the  areas 
thev  explore:  God  of  Creation  1.37  niin.)  :  God  of  the 
Atom  (40  niin.l  :  Voice  of  the  Deep  (30  min.)  :  Dust  or 
Destiny  (48  min.):  and  Hidden  Treasures  (46  min.). 
From  the  galaxies  of  stars  photographed  from  the  Mt.  Wil- 
son Observatory  to  the  photosynthesis  of  a  leaf,  the  Moody 
films  are  designed  to  reawaken  a  child-like  sense  of  awe  - 
in  those  who  see  them.  All  in  color,  they  study  all  forms 

See  and  Hear 


')f  life  and  allow  the  audience  to  judge  whether  or  not 
life  is  a  haphazard  prank  or  the  design  of  a  Master  Plan- 
ner. 

Director  of  the  series  is  Dr.  Irwin  A.  Moon,  head  of 
Moodys  Institute  of  Science.  Using  time-lapse  and  niicro- 
>(()pic  photography,  the  telescope,  radio  equipment,  and 
other  scientific  paraphernalia.  Dr.  Moon  is  in  the  habit  of 
working  on  a  budget  that  would  make  Hollywood's  major 
entertainment  producers  bug-eyed  with  amazement. 

Are  these  films  designed  for  classes  in  religion,  for  the 
l)ious.  for  those  who  are  removed  from  the  struggle  of  liv- 
ing in  today's  world?  An  answer  to  this  may  be  found  in 
Moody's  experience  with  industry. 

Like  many  genuine  works  of  art.  the  films  have  a  ten- 
dency to  make  the  viewer  feel  like  a  "high-brow."  Reac- 
tion of  executives  on  a  first  screening  is  almost  invariably 
an  enthusiasm  mingled  with  some  misgivings  about  show- 
ing it  to  the  men  in  the  plant.  "It  may  be  alright  for  us. 
but  maybe  the  men  won't  understand,  jierhaps  they'll  think 
were  cramming  religion  down  their  throats." 

To  circumvent  this  difficulty,  Don  H.  Parson.  Director 
of  Moodv's  Film  Department,  usuallv  suggests  that  the 
films  be  shown  to  a  selected  committee.  Amusingly  enough, 
the  committee's  reaction  is  quite  often  similar  to  the  front 
office's:  "It  may  be  alright  for  us  but.  .  .  ." 

That  the  films  have  been  more  than  suitable  to  the  man 
who  works  with  his  hands  is  proved  by  a  list  of  companies 
which  have  used  the  series  as  part  of  their  recreational  and 
training  programs.  This  list  includes  such  firms  as  Ameri- 
can Typefounders.  Inc.,  General  Foods  Corp.,  Electro-Mo- 
tive Division  of  General  Motors,  Goodyear  Tire  S.  Rubber 
Co.,  and  the  Eastern  Air  Lines. 

One  national  manufacturer  with  branches  throughout 
the  V.  S.  has  alreadv  expended  3600  man  hours  in  screen- 
ing the  films  -to  supervisors  and  workers.  Comments  are 
always  much  the  same — "let's  have  more  of  them." 

Future  plans  of  the  Moody  Institute  of  Science  are  only 
limited  by  a  lack  of  money,  a  problem  which  is  not  new 
to  the  Dr.  Moon  and  his  associates.  Several  new  films  are 
now  in  preparation,  a  special  series  for  television  is  being 
planned,  and  the  infectious  enthusiasm  of  Don  Parson  is 
at  work  in  the  Moody  office  i  820  \.  La  Salle  St..  Chicago 
10 1  making  available  the  current  films  to  an  ever-widening 
audience  in  churches,  schools  and  industrv.  •

Filmstrip  frames  like  these  aid  the  foreign-born. 

Using  the  Filmstrip 
in  Adult  Education 

by  Angelica  W.  Cass 

■¥■  The  fihiistrip  is  especially  adaptable  to  the  teaching  of 
foreign  born  and  other  adults  who  labor  under  a  literacy 
handicap.  The  writer  has  had  many  years  experience  in 
working  with  these  adults  and  has  arrived  at  the  above 
conclusion  after  experimenting  with  and  evaluating  audio 
visual  methods  and  techniques. 

Filmstrips  are  excellent  to  use  with  these  adults  because 
they  can  be  geared  to  the  abilities  of  the  students  in  each 
group.  The  pictures  and  titles  are  "still"  and  do  not  move 
on  before  the  students  can  take  in  the  salient  point  or 
points  and  read  the  titles  completely  and  satisfactorily. 
Each  individual  frame  can  be  shown  for  as  long  a  time 
as  is  desired  or  necessary  so  that  ample  time  for  asking 
questions  or  for  discussion  can  be  allowed  for  at  the 
j)oint  at  which  they  arise. 

The  fact  that  the  filmstrip  can  be  operated  backwards 
when  desired  is  a  distinct  advantage  when  it  is  needful  to 
refer  to  a  previous  frame  to  settle  a  point  or  to  correct  an 
impression.  Another  advantage  is  the  fact  that  absolute 
darkness  is  not  essential  for  a  good,  clear  showing  of  a 
fihnstrip.  '^'\u\e  a  matte  white  screen  is  preferable  for  best 
projection  results,  an  adequate  and,  in  many  cases  a  satis- 
iactorv.  projection  can  be  obtained  on  the  reverse  side  of 
a  wall  map,  chart,  wall  space,  or  on  the  blackboard  itself 
if  necessary. 

Filmstrip  projectors  are  very  portable  and  can  lje  set  up 
quickJv  and  easily  without  fuss  or  a  long  period  of  prepa- 
ration. No  intricate  "threading"'  is  involved  in  setting  up 
the  projector  and  inserting  the  filmstrip.  The  entire  proc- 
ess can  be  learned  in  less  than  five  minutes. 

The  following  steps  are  suggested  when  planning  to  use 
a  fihnstrip:  llj  preview  it,  1 2)  plan  for  its  use  as  a  part 
of  the  lesson,  (3)  show  it,  (4)  evaluate  the  results  and 
decide  whether  or  not  to  (5)   reshow  it. 

A  filmstrip  should  be  used  to  meet  a  need,  stimulate  in- 
terest and  conversation,  help  correct  mistaken  impressions 
or  to  fix  a  point.  In  other  words,  use  a  filmstrip  when  it 
will  enable  the  students  to  learn  better  because  of  its  use 
than  thev  would  without  it.  •

"Indian  Dances"  Is  EB  Films' 

Lates!    in    Conservation    Film    Series 

*  Indian  Dances  is  the  title  of  a  new 
color  film  which  shows  how  the 
American  Indian  expressed  some  of 
his  environmental  adjustments 
through  the  medium  of  dancing.  The 
film  is  being  released  by  Encyclo- 
paedia Britannica  Films,  Inc. 

Made  in  collaboration  with  the 
American  Museum  of  Natural  His- 
tory in  New  York,  the  film  joins  the 
prizewinning  Life  Along  the  Water- 
ivays  as  part  of  a  new  series  of  five 
EB  films  on  ecology  and  consena- 
tion.  The  film  shows  four  of  the 
rhythm  patterns  used  by  the  Indian 
to  express  his  relationships  with  na- 
ture— and  in  turn  to  reveal  his  power 
as  a  close  observer  of  nature. 

Sharp  and  beautiful  bird  photog- 
raphy by  Edgar  M.  Queenv.  chair- 
man of  the  board  of  Monsanto  Chemi- 
cal Co.  and  trustee  of  the  American 
Museum  of  Natural  History,  shows 
the  characteristic  patterns  of  the 
prairie  grouse  courting  and  of  the 
eagle  in  flight.  The  appropriate 
dances  by  Tom  Two  Arrows  show 
the  Indian  abstraction  of  these  pat- 
terns. 

Similarly,  the  buffalo  and  deer 
dances  are  shown  again  in  juxtaposi- 
tion with  their  sources  in  nature. 
The  whole  effect  is  one  of  a  primiti\e 
human  being  watching  nature  and 
then  making  his  own  esthetic  interpre- 
tation of  its  phenomena. 

Music  rhythms  used  in  the  film 
were  drawn  from  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress ethnic  folkways  recordings. 
Bird  sounds  were  recorded  by  Ralph 
Piper  on  location  at  the  time  of 
photographv. 

Following  will  be  Marine  Life,  a 
vivid  portrayal  of  some  of  the  color- 
ful forms  of  undersea  life:  Land  of 
Little  Water,  which  tells  the  story  of 
the  effect  of  too  little  water  and  too 
much  water  on  our  western  lands; 
and  Forest  Ranger,  which  is  an  ac- 
count of  the  work  of  the  forest  ran- 
ger in  conservation,  lumbering  and 
fire-fighting.  Each  runs  approximate- 
ly 11  minutes.  •

l.iK yclopa'dia  Britamiica  film  series  designed  to  hel|) 
us  understand  vital  problems  in  political  science  and 
to  help  define  democracy.  They  are  of  particular  im- 
portance in  this  era  of  world  tension. 


"Pressure  (iroiips  "  examines  how  such  orfiaiii/aliciris 
operate  and  for  what  end  .  .  .  some  as  legitimate  and 
needed  forces  .  .  .  others  whose  motives  need  to  be 
analysed.  This  is  the  second  EB  Film  on  forces  at 
work  in  a  democracv. 


"Social  Revolution"  takes  up  some  of  the  broader  im- 
])Iications  of  democracy  in  terms  of  peaceful  versus 
violent  change.  In  a  democracy,  the  film  shows  the 
existence  of  processes  based  upon  change.  Prof.  Hans 
Kohn.  CCN\.  was  the  collaborator  on  this  film.

SELECTED  FARE  FOR  GOOD  VIEWING  NATIONWIDE 


Above:  Dr.  Francis  Harwich  discusses 
"Ding  Dong  School"  programming  with 
iSBC's  Reinald  Werrenrath,  Jr.  (see  below) 

NBC   Conducts   Nursery  School   on 

Television  in  "Ding  Dong  School" 

♦  Assuiiiing  its  share  of  television's 
responsibility  for  educational  pro- 
gramming, the  National  Broadcasting 
Company  is  producing  a  new  morn- 
ing program,  without  sponsor,  ad- 
yertising,  beauty  queens,  or  comedi- 
ans, which  is  entitled  "Ding  Dong 
School."  The  format  of  the  show  is 
deliberately  paced  to  a  pre-school. 
three-and-four  year  old  level  of  inter- 
est and  understanding.  Its  simple, 
low  eye  level,  single  camera  picture 
enables  youngsters  in  the  tricycle  and 
lollipop  set  to  experience  tKe  actual 
training  and  guidance  of  nursery" 
school  attendance. 

How  does  "Ding  Dong  School" 
work?  In  the  eyes  of  a  young  view- 
er, something  like  this.  The  school 
bell  rings,  a  huge  bell,  filling  the  en- 
tire television  screen,  and  then  we 
find  ourselves  seated  on  the  floor: 
from  an  adult  point  of  view,  right 
on  the  carpet,  because  the  camera  is 
placed  for  a  child's  eye  view.  We  are 
looking  up  at  a  lady  seated  on  a  has- 
sock. On  the  shelves  at  her  side  are 
the  comfortable,  familiar  things  we 
would  expect:  a  jigsaw  puzzle  of  a 
fireman,  booted  with  fire  hose  in 
hand:  a  book  about  the  policeman 
who  helps  children  across  the  street: 
a  sweet  potato  plant  in  a  glass. 

The  lady  is  "Miss  Frances"  or. 
rather.  Dr.  Frances  R.  Horwicli, 
chairman  of  the  department  of  edu- 
cation of  Chicago's  Roosevelt  College. 
Speaking  slowly,  softly,  allowing  for 
reply,  she  tells  stories,  plays  records, 
introduces  talented  *guests  who  play 
bass  fiddles  and  draw  pictures,  and. 
at  the  precise  moment  when  juvenile 
attention  begins  to  lag,  leads  in  little 


e.\ercises  that  brings  back  young  in- 
terest in  a  hurry. 

For  30  minutes  Miss  Frances  is  the 
program,  and  the  program  is  in  fact 
a  nursery  school — a  program  for 
active  participation  by  pre-school 
youngsters,  one  in  which  they  may 
land  do)  completely  lose  themselves 
in  the  fascination  of  taking  part  in  a 
real  show.

Christopher  films  are  made  in  New 
\  ork  and  in  Hollywood  and  then  are 
sliipped  out  to  the  TV  stations  each 
week  from  the  Christopher  head- 
qiiarters  at  18  East  48th  St.,  New 
York  City.  At  the  present,  59  out  of 
a  total  of  65  areas  in  the  country 
w  here  TV  coverage  now  extends  pre- 
sent    the     Christopher     (juarter-hour 


weekly  series.  In  Baltimore,  Cleve- 
land. Detroit,  and  Omaha  two  stations 
feature  the  Christopher  program. 

Average  cost  of  producing  one 
Christopher  film  a  week  for  television 
is  $3,500.  A  unique  feature  of  this 
Christopher  television  project  is  that 
no  collections,  appeals  or  fund-rais- 
ing drives  are  conducted  to  cover  the 
expense  of  producing  the  weekly 
films.  All  contributions  are  com- 
pletely voluntary  and  unsolicited.  The 
$53,000  to  cover  the  cost  of  the  first 
16  films  was  spontaneously  provided, 
mainly  in  small  amounts,  by  Chris- 
topher friends  throughout  the  coun- 
try. It  is  hoped  to  make  52  films  a 
year  under  this  same  policy. 

Air  time  is  donated  by  the  indi- 
vidual stations  as  a  public  service.  It 
is  estimated  that  the  cost  of  the  time 
for  the  63-station  network  would  ex- 
ceed $750,000  a  year. 

Before  launching  the  television  se- 
ries this  fall,  the  Christophers  had 
made  four  30-minute  films  which 
have  been  shown  to  groups  through- 
out the  country  as  well  as  in  motion 
picture  theatres  and  on  TV. 

Founded  in  1945.  the  Christophers 
seek  to  show  the  power  of  each  indi- 
vidual, under  God.  to  bring  "Christ" 
into  the  marketplace  and  restore 
peace  to  the  world."  Over  700.000 
persons  participate  in  the  Christopher 
movement,  which  has  no  meetings,  no 
memberships,  and  no  dues. 


Filmed  Television  Series  Combines 
Entertainment,  Religious  Message 

*  One  filmed  television  series  receiv- 
ing a  good  deal  of  attention  in  many 
parts  of  the  country  is  This  Is  the 
Life,  produced  by  The  Lutheran 
Church-Missouri  Synod  and  distrib- 
uted in  cooperation  with  the  National 
Council  of  Churches  of  Christ  in  the 
U.S.A.  .A.fter  eight  weeks  on  the  air 
about  30.000  letters  in  praise  of  the 
program  have  been  received.  The 
series  of  films  has  been  described  as 
"combining  entertainment  with  a  re- 
ligious message." 

This  Is  the  Life  is  one  of  the  most 
televised  programs  of  the  day.  It  is 
already  seen  in  61  TV  areas  out  of 
a  maximum  of  64.  Efforts  are  being 
made  to  make  the  coverage  national.

"Food  As  Children  See  It** 

A  .NEW  GENERAL  MILLS^   NUTRITION   FILM 

■¥.  "is  it  good  for  him'.'""  This  is  a  question  mothers  often 
ask  themselves  as  they  look  at  Little  Johnny  as  he  sits, 
spoon  in  hand,  waiting  for  his  food  to  be  dished  up  to 
him.  Too  old  for  a  formula  but  not  yet  ready  for  his 
father's  steak  and  freiich  fries,  an  active  youngster's  diet 
is  a  nutritional  problem  which  has  perplexed  many  a 
mother.   A  recent  film  is  designed  to  eliminate  it. 

Sponsored  bv  General  Mills.  Inc..  and  available  on  free 
loan.  Food  as  Children  See  It  features  an  ideal  meal  for 
pre-school  children,  common  child  feeding  problems  and 
suggested  solutions,  and  menu  planning  and  food  prepara- 
tion for  health  and  efficiency  based  on  the  basic  seven 
food  groups.  The  film  is  a  sequel  to  the  popular  The 
School  that  Learned  to  Eat. 

Produced  ^  ith  Expert  Guidance  on  Detail 
Food  as  Children  See  It  was  produced  under  the  tech- 
nical supervision  of  Dr.  Miriam  E.  Lowenberg,  now  head 
of  the  Department  of  Foods  and  Nutrition.  Pennsylvania 
State  College.  During  World  War  II.  Dr.  Lowenberg 
supervised  a  day  nursery  at  one  of  the  nation's  largest 
defense  plants,  directing  the  feeding  of  thousands  of  chil- 
dren. After  the  war.  she  became  nutritionist  for  the  Ro- 
chester Child  Health  Institute  at  Rochester,  Minn.  There, 
she  conducted  adult  education  classes  on  child  feeding  and 
other  phases  of  nutrition  for  mothers  of  young  children, 
public  health  workers  and  other  lay  and  professional 
groups. 

The  Rochester  program,  sponsored  by  the  Child  Health 
Institute  and  the  Rochester-Olmsted  County  Public  Health 
Department,  was  extremely  popular.  Mothers  in  the  area 
said  it  gave  them  the  help  they  needed  to  put  their  physi- 
cians' advice  on  child  feeding  into  practice. 

Child's  \  iewpoint  Is  the  Basic  Theme 
At  Rochester,  Dr.  Lowenberg  found  a  perfect  outlet 
for  the  philosophy  of  child  feeding  she  had  developed 
while  supervising  the  defense  plant  nurserv.  That  philos- 
ophy— always  look  at  food  from  the  child's  point  of  view 
— has  been  reflected  in  the  new  film. 

General  Mills,  a  financial  contributor  to  the  Rochester 
program,  produced  the  picture  as  part  of  a  broad  program 
of  nutrition  education  that  dates  back  manv  vears.  The 
picture  was  produced  bv  T.  \^  .  Hope,  directed  b\   Paul

This  New  Film  on  Nutrition  captures  reaction  oj  a 
young  diner  to  serving  of  food  as  aid  to  mothers.

addition,  the  company  will  sell  complete  prints  at  cost.

THE  TV  DEBATE 

SHARES   Ol  H    \  lE-W  POINT 

To  the  Editor: 

It  certaiiiK  i?  rffrt-shing  and  in- 
spirational to  still  find  some  person* 
and  publication?  that  refuse  to  be 
stampeded  bv  the  current  boom  to- 
wards educational  TV. 

Our  own  state  is  no  exception  un- 
fortunately, and  all  efforts  and 
liiiblicitv  are  geared  toward  the 
spending  of  approximately  three  or 
four  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  a 
TV  station  whose  \alue  remains  to  be 
proven,  while  the  proven  tools  of 
communication  receive  hardly  any 
attention. 

Just  when  it  appeared  that  audio- 
visual people  might  get  the  support 
ihev  so  badlv  needed  in  many  com- 
nmnities.  now  they  see  this  support 
vanishing  because  the  "miracle""  tool 
has  arrived. 

1  agree  that  TV  has  great  poten- 
tialities and  we  made  use  of  some  of 
these  last  spring  when  our  A-\  As- 
sociation presented  eight  programs 
entitled  "Tools  For  Learning"  illus- 
trating the  t\"pes  and  uses  of  A-V 
tools. 

But  our  so  called  and  self  styled 
"oracles"  are  misleading  us.  f  believe 
and  I  think  it  is  high  time  for  a  return 
to  some  fundamental  concepts  which 
they  advocated  themselves. 

All  school  systems  and  all  schools 
are  not  equipped  as  they  should  be 
nor  are  teachers  trained  as  they 
ought  to  be. 

I  personallv  do  not  subscribe  to  all 
this  hoopla  and  I  want  to  commend 
vou  for  vour  fine  editorials  on  this 
matter. 

I  know  there  are  many  others  who 
feel  as  I  do  in  this  matter.  Individual- 
ly perhaps,  we  are  small  fish  not 
making  much  of  a  splash,  but  per- 
haps collectively  we  may  organize 
and  make  our  voices  heard  so  that 
those  concerned  may  take  heed. 

1  would  appreciate  it  very  much  if 
vou  could  either  send  me  reprints  of 
the  editorial  if  available  or  a  few- 
extra  copies  of  the  magazine  so  that 
1  mav  spread  them  around  where 
thev  will  do  some  good.

TV  May  Be   Educational — - 
But    Is    It    For    Schools? 

"Vrow  TH.\T  Life  Magazine  and  the 
-'-  '  radio-TV  experts  of  the  U.  S. 
Office  of  Education  have  joined  the 
well-heeled  lobby  of  the  Joint  Com- 
mittee on  Educational  Television  in 
promoting  slate  and  c  o  m  m  u  n  i  t )' 
budgets  for  this  modern  miracle 
medium,  SEE  &  HEAR  seeins  to  be 
the  lone  voice  in  the  clamorous  multi- 
tude. 

At  least  one  majstr  editorial  stand 
is  being  won  by  default  as  proponents 
admit  the  slowness  with  which  this 
effort  is  being  taken  up  and  now  ask 
FCC  postponement  of  the  mid-1953 
deadline  for  school  allocation  of 
channels.  And  the  widely-ridiculted 
New  York  state  advisory  committee 
who  voted  down  that  state's  appro- 
priation have  also  slowed  the  band- 
wagon. Ma\be  just  enough  to  get 
some  sound  thinking  on  the  subject. 

For  it  is  now  apparent  that  a  good 
many  people  are  being  talked  into  the 
idea  that  educational  television  is  a 
classroom  instructional  medium. 
That's  what  Life  thought  in  its  mid- 
April  editorial,  including  this  thought- 
provoking  comment  "Houston's  presi- 
dent, Dr.  W.  W.  Kemmerer.  figures 
that  once  KUHT  has  hit  its  full  stride, 
(he  University  can  save  some  $10  mil- 
lion on  physical  plant,  like  more 
classrooms,  thai  it  wont  have  to 
build."  !    !    !

THIS  MONTH'S  COVER 

■¥  Reflecting  the  new"  content 
approach  of  See  &  Hear,  our 
cover  carries  scenes  from 
such  currently  popular  16mm 
films  as  Food  as  Children  See 
It:  And  the  Earth  Shall  Give 
Back-  Life;  Nationalism  and 
The  Colonial  Primer.  We 
hope  you've  seen  all  of  them 
bv  now. 


bulletin  No.  16.  "Television  In  Our 
Schools"  sells  this  idea:  '"As  a  com- 
munications medium,  television  is 
unique  in  its  ability  to  bring  nianv 
other  aids  into  the  classroom.  Every 
audio  and  visual  help  we  have  ever 
known  can  be  carried  by  television — 
motion  pictures,  film  strips,  slides, 
recordings,  drawings,  maps,  and 
countless  other  instructional  devices." 

We  have  no  doubt  of  the  commu- 
nity value  of  real  educational  t.v.. 
even  if  proof  of  a  loyal  viewing  audi- 
ence is  still  lacking.  But  we  ridicule 
the  whole  idea  that  school  money  be 
w  asted  on  the  absurd  premise  that  our 
entire  classroom  learning  structure 
should  or  will  be  turned  upside  down 
to  accommodate  mass  dissemination 
of  anything  short  of  an  important 
current  event. 

These  audio-visual  tools  have  been 
developed  over  decades  of  progressive 
experience  to  meet  individual  teach- 
ing situations,  according  to  the  teach- 
ers  need  and  at  the  convenience  of 
classroom  groups,  as  needed.  No 
|)ii.>ili-bulton  regimentation  of  the 
learning  process  is  necessary  to  open 
\\  ide  the  use  of  these  tools.  Nor  is  it 
necessary  to  push  schools  into  buying 
a  -81200  TV  receiver  per  classroom  to 
take  the  place  of  equipment  costing  a 
fraction  of  that  amount  with  much 
less  upkeep  cost !  '•

10,000  Films  in  Search  of  an  Audience 


A  SEE   &   HEAR  EDITORIAL  VIEWPOINT 


EACH  \EAR  the  producers  of  educational  and  informa- 
tional films  add  many  hundreds  of  new  titles  to  the 
already  staggering  numbers  of  motion  pictures  and 
fibnstrips  now  available  for  the  nianv  kinds  of  program 
and  teaching  tasks  to  which  they  are  applied. 

In  1952.  for  example,  nearly  l.SlK)  new  titles  were  pro- 
duced among  the  126  fihn  studios  serving  foundations, 
trade  groups,  govenmient  agencies  and  U.  S.  business 
alone,  .\bout  400  additional  motion  pictures  and  hundreds 
of  new  filmstrips  for  classroom  teaching  and  communitv 
information  were  turned  out  by  instructional  film  com- 
panies specializing  in  such  non-sponsored  materials. 

10,000  Films  for  Half-Million  Projectors! 

The  increment  or  totally  available  inventory  now  accessi- 
ble to  schools,  churches,  industry  and  community  groups  is 
probably  in  excess  of  10.000  individual  titles  of  motion 
pictures  and  many  thousands  of  highly  useful  filmstrips. 
Not  to  mention  growing  libraries  of  recorded  programs, 
both  disc  and  tape,  also  circulating. 

Keeping  up  with  these  program  sources  is  a  full-time 
business  for  resource  people  in  our  educational  fihu 
libraries,  among  commercial  libraries  and  dealers,  public 
library  film  collections,  and  within  the  schools,  churches 
and  industry.  Our  own  constantly  bus^^  telephone  lines  and 
the  Chicago  mail  desk  confirm  the  problem. 

Xot  Big  Lists.  But  Specific  Titles  Sought 

To  expand  the  frontiers  of  film  use  we  must  first  recog- 
nize the  urgent  need  of  teacher,  program  chairman,  safety 
director,  labor  counsellor,  welfare  worker,  and  other  film 
users  for  SPECIFIC  film  guidance,  for  now  almost  totally 
lacking  lists  of  related  materials.  Having  pioneered  in  such 
specific  fihii  lists  as  the  Health  &  \^  elfare  Resources  Guide 
(See  &  Hear,  April  1950 1 :  the  Science  Film  List  (See  &

We  therefore  define  our  course  of  action  as  less  con- 
cerned with  the  theory  of  audio-visual  education  or.  with 
the  professional  practices  of  audio-visual  administration 
and  reaffirm  our  immediate  concern  with  practical  assist- 
ance in  the  matter  of  specific  film  evaluation  and  listing. 
Here  is  a  partial  list  of  features  you  can  exj)ect  from  the 
Editors  of  See  &  Hear:

16MM   FILMS,   TO   PARAPHRASE   HOLLYWOOD,   ARE  BETTER   THAN    EVER! 


"♦f  This  great  and  group-minded  country  of  ours  has 
long  since  found  16mm  sound  films  and  filmstrips. 
among  the  other  audio-visual  tools,  to  be  powerful 
stimulants  to  attendance  and  the  most  effective  way 
of  opening  wide  new  worlds  of  information  and  guid- 
ance as  well  as  recreation. 

Color  processes,  rapidly  inipro\  ing  for  16mm,  give 
all  of  us  a  medium  that  makes  the  television  viewing 
screen  far  inferior  except  for  the  most  important 
current  affairs.  For  we  choose  ichat  iic  tvant  to  see. 
when  we  iiant  to  see  it  and  we  now  have  selection  for 


almost  every  kind  of  film  program  contemplated. 

A  word  of  caution.  There  are  those  who  would  iui- 
pair  the  improving  economic  health  of  film  produc- 
tion and  supplant  this  group  medium  with  mass 
tools.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  groups  are  meeting  in 
large  numbers  than  ever  before  and  that  the  strength 
of  our  democracv  which  is  founded  on  this  gathering 
of  members  of  the  community  is  deep  and  real. 

What  all  of  us  need  is  more  information  on  avail- 
able films,  accurately  and  completely  given.  That  is 
our  primarx  editorial  aim.  — OHC

SIGHT  &  SOUND 

Georgia  Distributes  More  Than 
100,000  Educational  Films  in  1952 

♦  The  state  of  Georgia's  Audio-Vis- 
ual Division  last  year  distributed 
117,361  educational  films.  This  fig- 
ure was  quoted  in  an  article  about 
the  state's  A-V  activities  appearing 
recently  in  "The  Atlanta  Constitu- 
tion." Director  of  the  division  is  G. 
C.  Bagley.  who  can  recall  when  the 
library  had  only  1.200  prints  of  660 
titles  back  in  1947.  Todav  the  total 
is  21.0.51  prints  of  2,420  titles. 

Films  are  mailed  by  parcel  post 
to  the  schools  upon  request,  and  the 
schools  are  allowed  to  keep  them 
three  to  four  davs  before  returning 
them  by  mail  to  the  library.  Postage 
is  paid  both  ways  by  the  Audio- Vis- 
ual Division. 

Any  Georgia  school  may  request 
and  get  films  for  a  fee  of  $10  per 
school  year.  The  service  also  has 
been  extended  to  public  libraries  of 
the  state  on  the  same  basis. 

Medical  Film  Circuit  Will 
Facilitate  Distribution  to  Schools 

*  In  a  iifu  plan.  Americati  and 
Canadian  medical  colleges  were  di- 
vided into  10  circuits  by  the  Medi- 
cal Audio-Visual  Institute  to  facili- 
tate distribution  of  new  films, 
filmstrips,  slides,  and  other  visual 
material. 

Under  the  plan,  the  medical  col- 
leges were  divided  into  circuits  ac- 
cording to  geographic  accessibility, 
with  each  circuit  containing  eight 
to  ten  colleges.  The  first  college  in 
each  circuit  receives  a  print  which 
progresses  to  the  last  college  in  the 
circuit.  The  film  remains  at  each 
college  for  one  week  including 
transportation  time  and  is  preceded 
by  full  printed  infiirniation  describ- 
ing the  nature  of  the  program.  In 
some  instances  the  materials  are 
those  distributed  by  the  Medical 
Audio-Visual  Institute  of  the  Asso- 
ciation of  American  Medical  Col- 
leges. The  materials  are  selected  in 
terms  of  medical  teaching  and 
enough  prints  are  made  available 
to  provide  one  for  each  circuit  and 
two  spares  for  use  in  case  of  emer- 
gency. 

The  key  to  the  success  of  the  pre- 
view circuits  may  be  attributed  to 
the  fait  that  someone  witliin  each 
medical    college,    known    as    the 


Audio-Visual  Coordinator,  is  re- 
sponsible for  informing  all  faculty 
members  and  arranging  preview 
sessions  for  specialty  areas. 

Two  Oklahoma  Audio-Visual 
Conferences  Scheduled

♦  This  film  by-passes  the  often  over- 
worked subject  of  juvenile  delin- 
quents and  considers  the  more  nu- 
merous "average  American  boys." 
Today's  youngsters  face  a  world  of 
working  mothers  and  out  of  the 
home  activities  for  most  members 
of  the  family.  Though  most  boys 
never  touch  narcotics  or  take  up 
robbery,  they  often  do  have  a  sense 
of  loneliness  which  adults  too  fre- 
quentlv  overlook  or  misunderstand. 

My  Son's  Dad,  without  crises  or 
violent  action,  tells  the  story  of  the 
"Y's"  work  in  helping  boys  learn 
to  get  along  with  each  other  and 
develop  into  leaders  and  good  citi- 
zens.

♦  In  the  tradition  of  Fishing  in 
Alaska  and  Hunting  in  .4laska,  two 
earlier  films  by  Nash,  Out  of  the 
\orth  is  a  great  outdoor  film.  In  an 
almost  poetic  combination  of  pic- 
ture, music  and  narration  it  shows 
the  arrival  at  the  Canadian  marshes 
and  lakes  of  migratory  ducks  and 
geese:  the  concealment  and  quiet 
of  the  laying  season:  the  young 
breaking  out  of  their  shells — and 
then  learning  how  to  dive,  dabble, 
tip.  scoop. 

Then  the  flocks  whirl  and  begin 
the  long  flight  south,  past  the  hunt- 
ers who  ha\e  waited  all  year  to 
take  man  s  toll,  and  finalh  to  the 
places  without  fear  in  the  deep 
south.  This  picture,  which  took 
three  vears  to  produce,  is  as  color-

birds  it  portrays.

Of  all  the  causes  of  projector  breakdowns,  Audio-Visual  experts  agree 
improper  lubrication  is  the  number  one — bv  a  big  margin.  (See  statements 
opposite.)  They  will  also  tell  you  that  the  Kodascope  Pageant  Sound  Pro- 
jector is  the  one  16mm.  sound  projector  that  eliminates  this  worry  .  .  .  it's 
the  only  machine  perruaiieiitly  lubricated  at  the  factory! 

This  achievement  didn't  just  happen.  It's  the  result  of  a  fresh  approach  bv 
Kodak  engineers  on  the  over-all  design  of  motion-picture  projectors.  Out 
of  this  came  the  idea  of  using  oil-impregnated  bearings,  sealed-in-oil  bear- 
ings', "lifetime"  oil-retaining  pads,  low-friction  nylon  gears,  and  a  mini- 
mum of  moving  parts.  Troiihlc-free  operation  is  built  into  the  Pageant!

The  Magic  of 
4  Walt  Disney... 


Abovk:  H  (ill  JJisiie)  in  an  injoniuil  glimpse 
al  his  studio  sketch  board. 


.  .  .  his  talented  studio  and  collaborators 
bring  "True  Life  Adventures"  to  16mm 


THERE'S  MAGIC  in  the  pen  and  name  of  Walt  Dis- 
ne\  who  has  brought  millions  the  world  over  the 
delightful  antics  of  his  cartoon  characters.  The 
broadened  horizon  of  Disney's  production  program  re- 
cetitiv  added  the  fascinating  interest  of  colorful  nature 
studv  films  and  won  the  studio  three  Academy  Awards 
in  this  field. 

Now  that  magic  name  and  talent  has  come  to  16mm  and 
rental  lilirarv  outlets  across  the  nation,  including  such 
well-known  sources  as  Association  Films.  RKO-Radio. 
Ideal  Pictures  and  others,  have  been  licensed  to  distribute 
16mm  versions  of  a  wide  range  of  Disney  productions. 
From  the  award-winning  "True-Life  Adventure  Series" 
have  come  such  subjects  as  Seal  Islan<{,  Beaver  J^ alley 
and  !\ature's  Half-Acre,  all  in  Technicolor. 

Colorful  Animated  Cartoons  in  16nini 
Animated  cartoon  subjects  now  available  include  the 
History  of  Aviation,  Behind  the  Scenes  of  Walt  Disney 
Studio,  and  Disney  Cartoon  Parade  .\ umber  One.  Three 
nine-minute  cartoons  in  16mm  now  are  Clock  Cleaners, 
Bone  Trouble,  and  Donald  &  Pluto. 

Of  all  this  picture  pioneer's  innovations  in  mass  enter- 
tainment and  showmanship,  none  won  him  more  wide- 
spread acclaim  than  the  series  of  nature  dramas.  These 
factual  reports  on  the  human  and  funny  side  of  wild 
animals  have  won  the  respect  of  naturalists,  educators 
and  showmen. 


The  man  who  made  Fantasia  sensed  the  entertainment 
possibilities  in  the  natural  behavior  of  animals  and 
evolved  the  plan  for  True-Life  pictures.  His  first  problem 
was  finding  photographers  with  the  proper  qualifications. 
For  Seal  Island,  the  first  True-Life  picture  and  the  first 
award  winner,  he  secured  Alfred  G.  Milotte  and  his  wife 
Emma.  They  were  naturalists  as  well  as  cinematographers. 
had  the  skills  and  patience  necessary  for  successful  nature 
photography,  and  knew  where  to  find  and  what  to  expect 
from  their  quarv. 

Improved   Technique    for   Nature    Dramas 

Since  Seal  Island  Disney  has  further  developed  the 
technique  for  filming  nature  dramas.  He  first  sends  pho- 
tographers to  the  natural  habitat  of  the  subject  with 
orders  to  return  only  when  they  have  the  subject's  entire 
life  cvcle  on  film.  Secondly  he  requests  footage  from 
amateur  photographers  and  free  lancers.  The  specifica- 
tions set  forth  for  these  submissions  reveal  the  nature  of 
the  True-Life  films.  The  material  presented  must  be  cov- 
ered completely,  and  there  must  be  no  sign  of  human 
presence. 

In  Seal  Island  the  camera  looks  at  the  intimate  family 
life  of  handsome  fur  seals  in  the  mist-enveloped  reefs  of 
the  Pribilof  Islands  in  the  Bering  Sea.  These  polygamous 
seals  return  to  the  islands  each  summer  to  battle  for  wives 
and  raise  their  families.  Suspicious  bull  seals  who  spend 
all  of  their  time  guarding  their  harems,  bachelors  who  are 
in  training  for  next  vear's  turmoil,  the  cows  who  do  all

RKO  Radio  Pictures.  Inc..  1270  A\enue  of  the  Amer- 
icas. New  York  20.  is  distributing  two  other  True-Life 
adventures  on  a  rental  basis. 

Beaver  J  alley,  which  won  the  Academy  Award  in  1950. 
shows  the  wild  life  around  a  beaver  pond  going  about  its 
evervdav  business  of  courtship,  house-making  and  sur- 
vival. The  beaver,  famous  for  his  industry,  builds  dams 
and  lodges.  Otters  clown,  and  coyotes  prowl. 

A  frog  svmphony  uses  the  film  sound  track  to  excellent 
advantage  in  bringing  to  life  the  hollow-throated  croaking. 
And.  as  in  Seal  Island,  candid  scenes  are  combined  into  a 
story-like  sequence  that  builds  interest  and  suspense  in  an 
absorbing  narrative. 

The  newest  nature  drama  to  be  freed  from  the  "prior 
location  approval"  type  of  distribution  is  Nature's  Half 
Acre.  With  stop-motion,  time-lapse  and  magnifying  lens 
photographv  Disnev  brought  to  the  screen  the  exciting 
drama  of  the  struggle  for  existence  in  a  tiny  spot  of  land. 
Natures  svstem  of  balance,  and  survival  of  the  fittest  are 
followed  from  the  re-birth  of  life  in  the  spring  to  its 
activit\  before  the  coming  of  winter.

artists  show  how  they  give  life  to  the  fabulous  cartoon 
characters  known  and  loved  the  world  over.

tance  of  productivity  to  the  I  .  .'^.  defense  effort  and  il> 
relation  to  the  continued  prosperity  of  the  nation.  .\ 
forum  discussion  on  that  subject,  originating  as  a  30-min- 
ute  television  program  on  film,  has  now  been  released 
bv  the  Twentieth  Centur\  Fund  and  is  being  distriltutcii 
bv  Encvclopaedia  Britannica  Films  in  a  I6rnm  sound 
version  of  that  length. 

In  a  lively,  authoritative  fashion.  Producing,  jor  De- 
fense presents  memliers  of  the  forum  which  includes  Paul 
G.  Hoffman,  until  recently  head  of  the  Ford  Foundation: 
Clinton  S.  Golden,  labor  authority  and  lecturer  at  Har- 
\ard:  and  J.  Frederic  Dewhurst.  eronomist  of  the  Fund. 
Ben  Grauer  serves  as  moderator. 

With  this  film  as  a  "springboard"  to  group  discussion, 
community  forums  and  school  audiences  alike  have  in- 
valuable and  authoritative  guidance  for  an  important  pro- 
gram of  unusual  current  interest. 

A  companion  film,  in  a  sense,  is  the  Fund's  earlier  film 
Round  Trip  dealing  with  the  fundametnals  of  world  trade 
and  taking  on  added  importance  as  the  L.  S.  considers 
this  subject  in  light  of  current  world  problems  and  our 
own  ecnoomy .  This  subject  has  been  brought  up  to  date 
in  a  1952-edited  version.  The  two-reel  film  uses  cinema 
technique  to  bring  together  producers  and  consumers  in 
various  countries,  allowing  each  to  argue  about  foreign 
trade  from  the  point  of  view  of  his  own  interest.  Con- 
clusion reached  is  that  everyone  benefits  from  two-wav 
trade,  a  "full  load  going  and  coming."

Conserving  America 

TWO   FILMS    DISCUSS    WATER   RESOURCES 

IN  THE  spirit  of  the  Living  Earth  Series  which  won  in- 
ternational acclaim.  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  Films 
has  begun  the  Living  Water  Series  of  sound  motion  pic- 
tures concerned  with  the  increasingly  important  problem 
of  conserving  the  supply  of  fresh,  clear  water.  Parts  I 
and  II  of  the  full  color  series,  produced  by  the  Conserva- 
tion Foundation  in  association  with  the  New-  \ork  Zoo- 
logical Society,  have  been  released.  They  are  intended 
particularly  for  junior  and  senior  highschool  classes  in 
general  science,  agriculture  and  related  subjects,  hut  they 
should  prove  to  be  of  broad  interest  to  many  groups  of 
adults — especially  as  more  and  more  areas  of  the  country 
are  troubled  with  dwindling  local  sources  of  water. 


NATURE'S  PLAIV  describes  the  water  cycle,  nature's 
scheme  for  pro\-iding  all  living  things  with  life-giving 
water.  Natural  and  time-lapse  photography  show  the 
nature  of  our  water  supply,  and  combine  with  animation 
to  explain  the  mechanics  of  the  water  cycles  and  to  de- 
scribe and  contrast  various  patterns  in  North  America. 
The  picture  is  14  minutes  long  and  may  be  purchased 
for  .?125. 

MAN'S  PROBLEM,  the  sequel  to  Nature's  Plan,  em- 
phasizes our  absolute  dependence  on  an  adequate  supply 
of  water.  It  makes  astonishingly  clear  the  growing  water 
shortage  problem,  and  outlines  the  steps  which  must  be 
taken  to  guarantee  sufficient  water  to  the  increased  popu- 
lation and  expanded  industry  of  the  future.  Part  II  in 
the  Living  ^  ater  Series  is  19  minutes  long  and  may  be 
purchased  for  -SI 75. 

Either  of  the  above  films  may  be  purchased  outright  at

So  You  Want  to  Be  a  Producer! 


How  Cornell's  School  of  Industrial  and  Labor  Relations 
Produced  a  Low  Cost  Motion  Picture — by  J.  J.  Jehring 


AN  ELEVEN-MINUTE  sound  motion  picture  in  color 
produced  for  less  than  SIOO.UO.  It  sounds  fantas- 
tic to  anyone  who  has  been  working  in  the  pro- 
duction of  films,  but  it  was  actually  accomplished  at  the 
New  York  State  School  of  Industrial  and  Labor  Relations 
at  Cornell  University. 

The  latest  sound  motion  picture  produced  at  the  school 
was  the  outgrowth  of  a  definite  classroom  need.  It  was 
something  which  would  more  adequately  serve  the  purpose 
of  the  instructor  and  had  to  do  with  the  field  of  human 
relations.  In  one  of  the  courses  it  was  necessary  to  teach 
the  students  various  methods  of  group  observation.  In 
order  to  accomplish  this,  various  role  playing  presenta- 
tions were  performed  before  the  group  and  the  group  was 
asked  to  make  careful  observations  of  what  was  being 
said  as  well  as  what  was  being  done  bv  the  various  mem- 
bers. Inasmuch  as  it  was  rather  difficult  to  reenact  the 
group  scenes  in  an  exact  fashion  in  order  to  point  out  the 
matters  the  students  had  missed,  the  use  of  film  was  sug- 
gested. It  was  decided  that  a  sound  motion  picture  of  the 
situation  was  needed. 

Short  Silent  Film  Used  for  Test 
The  first  step  was  experimental,  an  attempt  was  made 
to  discover  how  many  persons  could  be  shown  on  a  screen 
and  still  be  able  to  be  carefully  observed.  In  order  to  de- 
cide this  problem,  a  silent  black  and  white  film  of  100  ft. 
was  made  using  various  lenses  and  various  lighting  condi- 
tions. Groups  of  two.  three,  and  five  persons  were  taken 
at  varying  distances  from  the  camera.  After  a  careful 
analyzing  of  the  results  of  this  shooting,  it  was   decided 

Here's  the  Setup  for  ComelVs  film  as  students 
and  staff  members  face  camera. 


that  with  proper  lighting  it  would  be  possible  to  carefully 
observe  five  persons  at  about  twenty-five  feet  from  the 
camera  and  it  was  decided  to  use  a  group  of  five  for  the 
film. 

In  order  to  make  the  film,  it  was  necessary  to  experi- 
ment with  a  single  system  sound  motion  picture  camera 
and  the  Auricon  Pro  was  obtained  for  the  purpose.  The 
original  plan  was  to  make  the  film  in  black  and  white. 
However,  the  producer  of  the  Auricon  Pro  camera  recom- 
mended that  color  film  be  used  in  order  to  obtain  the  best 
sound  accordingly  the  proper  color  film  was  obtained  in 
three  two  hundred  foot  rolls  which  gave  a  total  running 
time  of  16.5  minutes. 

Cornell  Sound  Film  Studio  L  sed 
The  shooting  took  place  in  a  sound  motion  picture 
studio  at  Cornell  and  regular  studio  lighting  was  employed 
for  the  production.  The  scene  which  was  to  be  photo- 
graphed was  a  school  board  meeting.  There  was  to  be  lit- 
tle movement  of  the  actors.  The  role  playing  situation  was 
thoroughly  rehearsed  before  the  camera.  The  scene  lasted 
11.5  minutes  and  because  only  two  hundred  foot  reels  of 
film  could  be  used,  it  was  necessary  to  change  the  reels 
twice  during  the  performance.  In  order  to  accomplish 
this,  we  resorted  to  cutting  in  the  camera,  which  means 
that  the  actors  held  their  positions  till  shooting  was  again 
resumed.  The  places  where  the  action  was  cut  was  care- 
fully worked  out  so  that  all  persons  knew  exactly  what 
was  expected  of  them.  It  was  found  that  having  the  actors 
hold  their  positions  was  not  an  advisable  situation,  and 
that  in  future  productions  it  would  he  advisable  to  have 
a  camera  that  would  shoot  for  longer  periods  of  time,  such 
as  the  Auricon  2400. 

The  camera  and  sound  work  for  the  film  was  under  the 
direction  of  Professor  Elmer  Phillips  of  Photo  Science 
Service  at  Cornell  I  niversity. 

Only  One  Camera  Position  Employed 
One  of  the  unique  features  of  this  film  is  that  the  cam- 
era does  not  move  from  a  given  position  for  the  entire 
length  of  the  shot,  no  panning  was  used,  and  further,  the 
film  is  all  made  with  one  lens.  This  was  in  direct  violation 
of  all  known  camera  technique  but  it  gave  the  results 
needed  in  the  class  room  and  that  was  the  most  important 
consideration. 

The  ])i(turc  image  which  the  camera  gave  was  very 
clear,  and  the  sound  was  also  very  good  for  all  members 
of  the  group.  The  camera  was  very  simple  to  operate  and 
good  results  were  obtained  from  the  start  by  persons  who 
had  not  been  familiar  with  cameras  and  sound  equipment.

SEE   and   HEAR 


Proks.  J.  J.  Jehring  (left)  and  A.  .S.  i'killips 
of  Cornell  staff  sel  up  camera  jor  the  film. 

One  of  the  enigmas  was  what  would  hajjpen  when  a  per- 
son was  forced  to  look  at  a  film  from  a  given  angle  for 
eleven  and  a  half  minutes.  There  is  much  motion  picture 
theory  about  this  matter  but  whereas  the  stationary  cam- 
era mav  not  be  desirable  for  long  periods  of  time  for  en- 
tertainment purposes,  the  use  of  this  technique  in  educa- 
tional motion  pictures  may  be  found  to  have  certain  ad- 
vantages when  certain  educational  objectives  are  to  be 
achieved. 

In  viewing  this  fihii.  most  people  who  are  motivated  to 
carefully  observe  what  is  happening,  find  that  it  is  a 
strain  to  look  at  the  screen  for  about  the  last  half  of  the 
first  minute,  at  this  point  the  eye  begins  to  accommodate 
for  the  lack  of  motion,  by  traveling  around  to  different 
parts  of  the  screen.  Lacking  this  motivation  the  results 
might  be  different.  Once  the  eye  accommodates  itself  by 
moving  about  the  screen,  the  observer  soon  forgets  the 
lack  of  motion  picture  technique. 

Out-of-Pocket  Cost  Was  Only  .S60 

The  actual  cost  of  producing  this  film  was  the  cost  of 
the  film  which  was  about  $60.00.  The  shooting  time  was 
about  two  hours,  and  if  overhead,  etc.,  were  figured  at 
$20.00.  this  would  bring  the  cost  to  around  .flOO.OO  for 
an  eleven  minute  color  sound  motion  picture  which  wiU 
be  verv  useful  in  teaching  observation  techniques  in  the 
class  room. 

The  script  was  written  and  directed  by  Mr.  Stephen 
Richardson.  Members  of  the  cast  included  Mr.  Richard- 
son: Nonnie  Siegfried,  his  secretary:  Edith  Lentz,  a  Re- 
search Field  Director:  Robert  Wilson.  Research  Associ- 
ate: and  Diana  Hills,  a  student  in  the  N.Y.S.S.I.&L.R. 

The  production  was  under  the  direction  of  Professor  J. 
James  Jehring  and  the  camera  and  sound  work  under  the 
direction  of  Professor  E.  S.  Phillips.  Sf

They  Serve  the  Community 


if  SERVING  the  communitN  and  its  schools  are  more 
than  3,000  film  libraries  in  every  state,  expediting  the 
distribution  of  tens  of  thousands  of  prints  of  16mm  sound 
films.  These  key  links  in  the  chain  of  film  distribution 
perform  invaluable  services  to  the  users  and  producers 
alike.  Yet  their  services  are  performed  without  fanfare 
and  with  such  efficiency  that  they  often  go  unnoticed. 

Thev  divide  into  functional  groups:  the  urban  com- 
mercial libraries  providing  both  free  loan  and  rental  films 
to  their  clientele:  the  statewide  university  extension  film 
libraries:  the  growing  number  of  county  film  libraries 
serving  schools  and  finally  the  local  public  and  school 
film  libraries  serving  their  individual  communities  and 
school  systems. 

Their  shelves  are  constantly  being  enlarged  as  new 
product  emerges  from  the  laboratories.  Typical  of  this 
growth  is  the  example  of  the  Southern  Illinois  University 
librarv  at  Carbondale.  111.  According  to  figures  recently 
released  bv  Donald  A.  Ingli.  director  of  the  school's 
Audio-Visual  Service,  between  10.000  and  12.000  book- 
ings of  films  are  now  being  made  annuallv  i)\  that  service 
alone. 

85'  I  of  the  films  are  circulated  at  nominal  rental  fee  to 
schools  in  the  state,  most  going  to  educational  institutions 
in  the  southern  Illinois'  counties.  The  other  15' <  are 
circulated  to  church,  civic  and  social  groups. 

PROPER  FILM  handling  assures  horroicers  of  prints  from

Exploration  and  Hydro-Electric 
Power  Subjects  of  New  BIS  Films 

*  Kecent  films  released  b\  the  Brit- 
ish Information  Services  include  a 
survey  of  an  Antarctic  expedition  and 
an  examination  of  Britain's  achieve- 
ments in  hydro-electric  power.  Titles 
are  Gates  of  Power.  19-minutes.  black 
and  white,  and  While  Continent,  a 
20-minute  Technicolor  film. 

Gates  of  Power  shows  what  Eng- 
land is  doing  all  over  the  world  to 
harness  the  greatest  natural  power 
on  earth.  New  dams  are  seen  under 
construction,  including  the  Karapiro 
Dam  in  New  Zealand,  one  of  the 
largest  in  the  world.  Also  included  in 
the  film  are  shots  of  Scottish  and 
Canadian  miners  who.  at  Pitlochrv 
in  Perthshire,  are  building  the  larg- 
est water  tunnel  in  the  world  through 
more  than  two  miles  of  solid  rock. 

In  the  British  Isles  the  power  sta- 
tions are  connected  to  the  Grid  Svs- 
tcm  that  covers  the  whole  countrv. 
and  the  final  sequences  of  the  film 
show  what  happens  when  thev  are 
called  upon  to  supply  extra  current. 
The  power  house  in  which  the  filming 
was  carried  out  has  turbines  each  of 
which  is  rated  at  15.500  h.p.  They 
never  wear  out.  and  it  takes  only  two 
men  to  run  them.

Magazine  With  a  Mission 

TIIERK  IS  a  vast  difference  between  visual  prograni- 
\  iewed  in  the  home  via  the  family  television  set  I  if 
at  all  I  and  the  expression  of  American  democracv  at 
work  which  takes  place  when  .30.  50  or  several  hundreds 
of  friends  and  neighbors  gather  in  their  nianv  comnmnit\ 
meeting  places  to  see  a  film  and  talk  about  it  after. 

Not  only  is  the  perfomiance  as  much  better  as  onh  a 
real  audience  can  make  it  .  .  .  but  something  very  impor- 
tant to  our  way  of  life  has  taken  place.  It  is  the  mission 
of  this  magazine  to  see  that  these  tens  of  thousands  of 
potential  group  users  of  the  film  medium  get  the  informa- 
tion they  need.  While  we  respect  the  power  of  television 
to  deliver  a  mass  impression,  we'd  like  to  see  individualism 
and  group  action  encouraged.  We'd  like  to  try  to  remove 
some  of  the  barriers  and  frustrations  which  have  thus  far 
handicapped  many  groups  from  becoming  active  film 
users. 

The  cover  of  this  issue  reflects  the  broad  expanse  of 
material  a\ailable  .  .  .  the  serious  needs  of  mental  health 
education  .  .  .  the  inspiring  message  of  American  enter- 
prise .  .  .  the  important  topic  of  inflation  .  .  .  and  the 
pleasant  memories  of  woods  and  waters.  All  these  things 
are  reflected  in  our  cover  scenes.  But  more  important,  all 
these  films  and  their  most  convenient  sources  are  describerl 
in  detail  within  the  pages  of  the  program  chairman's  first 
film  guide.  Schools,  churches,  lodges,  granges,  union 
groups  and  management  audiences  alike  will  share  the 
benefits.  All  you  need  is  a  16mm  sound  projector,  whether 
borrowed  or  bought  .  .  .  and  the  world  is  \ours  fir  the 
seeing  .  .  .  and  hearing!

a  fresh  approach  to  the   needs  of  film  users

and  Thousands  of  Potential  Audiences 


EACH  DA\  and  thiougli  the  lout;  summer  evenings 
ahead,  tens  ol  tliousands  ot  si""-'P  assemblies  and 
meetings  ol  all  kinds,  in  recreation  centers,  citv  parks, 
at  iiiral  crossroads  and  in  the  cool  surroundings  of 
air-ionditioned  halls,  will  pio\ide  the  audiences  who 
luetl  and  want  the  potent  ingredieius  ol  light-hearted 
entertainnuiit  and  uselul  inlormaiion  vvhidi  the  magic 
of  the   Itinun  sound  IHm  can  so  ■\vell  j)ro\  ide. 

In  the  first  half  of  195.1,  literally  hundreds  of  new 
films,  lepresenting  literalh  millions  of  dollars  in  pro- 
iluction  cost  have  been  ]jrepared  for  these  audiences. 

Here  is  the  real  jjaradox  and  the  urgent  problem 
of  the  Kiimii  sound  film  field,  shared  l>v  the  audience, 
the  producer  and  by  those  who  hope  to  bring  these 
important  factors  together. 

W'iiile  magazines  devote  countless  pages  to  the 
mystical  fol-de-rol  of  "visual  education"  .  .  .  few  of 
us  ha\e  done  anything  to  meet  the  most  urgent 
problem  of  all.  The  siinjjle  truth  is  that  the  groups 
u'lio  can  use  these  films  are  poorly  informed  about 
the  wonderful  fare  available  to  them.  Producers  tell 
the  editors  of  this  publication  that  it  takes  nearly  a 
year  to  reach  all  the  possible  users  of  their  new 
product  with  the  news  of  its  existence. 

Related  to  this  problem  is  the  distribmion  (omplex 
of  the  field  itself.  News  about  a  good  new^  fdm  on 
Infhitiou  that  can  be  purchased  for  .S200  is  of  little 
\alue  to  the  ^oung  Republicans'  Club  of  Rogers  Park 
in  (Chicago.  liut  infoi mation  concerning  a  local  source 
of  that  suljject  on  a  low  rental  basis  is  of  interest,* 

In  this  great  country,  the  vastness  of  our  geography 
and  the  self-imposed  liiiiitaiioiis  ol  i)udget  are  similai 
problems.  What  is  the  good  ol  pid^lici/ing  a  sound 
film  on  home  decoration  when  no  moie  than  five  or 
ten  i:>rints  exist  to  serve  a  potential  boiiovving  audi- 
ence represeiuing  ten  thousand  projedois? 

These  arc  the  problems  of  that  great  comnumity  of 
program  chairmen.  The  annual  electorate  of  this  band 
of  hard-working  .Americans  deserves  something  better 
from  a  field  that  can  potentially  serve  them  so  well.

UMW  and  the  vast  assemblies  of  the  CIO  .  ,  ,  these 
are  the  groups  we  intend  to  serve.  The  V'etcrans 
organizations  alone  comprise  millionfold  member- 
ships, .'\nd  the  inlluence  of  all  these  groups  is  of 
key  importance  in  their  respective  communities.  Rec- 
ogni/ing  this  let  us  see  what  must  be  done  to  serve 
tluHi   better  and  what   wc  intend   to  do  about  it. 

I'iist  and  foremost  we  have  thiowu  aside  tradition 
ill  this  single  national  guidi  to  a  wide  variety  ol 
Al'AI LAIU.E  lilms.  We  have  stressed  the  lollowing 
primaiv  ingredients:  the  tjuality  of  the  film  listed  or 
evaluated  in  terms  of  its  ])hysical  excellence;  the 
value  of  the  lilm  in  terms  of  its  (onieiit  interest,  and 
finally,  the  availability  of  the  film  in  terms  of  enough 
prints  widely  scattered  around  the  ((niiitry  so  as  to 
be  reasonably  easy  for  the  group  to  get  and  show. 

.Some  of  these  are  rental  films:  some  are  available  on 
a  free  loan  basis,  requiring  only  ]jayment  of  trans- 
portation charges  by  the  borrower.  They  have  been 
selected  in  a  specific  arrangement  of  subject  areas,  i.e. 
tliere  are  pictures  on  sports  and  travel,  for  women's 
groups,  for  the  community  gathering,  for  serious  dis- 
cussion groups,  and  for  next  .Sunday  evening's  <hurch 
social.  They  have  one  thing  in  common.  In  these  selec- 
tions the  reader  has  fair  assurance  of  availability. 

Do  you  own  a  16mm  sound  ])rojector?  Thai  is  all 
you  will  need— besides  a  modest  budget  for  postage 
or  rentals.  From  tliat  point  on,  the  dividends  to  any 
group  using  tliese  popular,  useful  films  will  bring 
a  handsome  return  in  terms  of  increasecf  attendance, 
informed  discussion,  and  sheer  pleasure.

IN  THE 


American  Tradition 


Williiii  the  scope  of  every  organiza- 
lioii's  purpose  lies  the  furtherance 
of  understanding  and  a|)()reciation  of 
the  things  which  make  this  country 
great.  The  American  Heritage  is  the 
possession  and  responsibility  of  each 
citizen,  and  through  the  programs  of 
his  community  groups  he  can  learn  more 
about  it. 

Motion  |jictures  from  both  sponsored 
and  educational  sources  make  easily 
available  a  huge  fund  of  information  on 
American  history,  our  economic  system, 
our  government,  and  the  citizen's  duties. 
In  the  brief  reviews  below  we  have  only 
brushed  across  the  field  of  free  and  low 
cost  Itimm  film  material,  but  these  ex- 
amples are  tyjiical  of  the  many  programs 
available    tf)    your    organization. 

A  View  of  History 

•  The  relationship  of  power  to  the 
development  of  our  democracy  is  the 
theme  of  the  General  Electric  color 
film.  Freedom  and  Pou'er.  With  a  re- 
freshing "illustration"  rather  tlian  car- 
toon technique,  the  film  moves  through 
history  since  the  .-Vmerican  revolution 
offering  an  enjoyable  and  factual  inter- 
pretation of  inter-relationships  between 
our  way  of  life  and  the  development  of 
electric  power. 

Opening  with  crisp  scenes  of  the 
revolution  and  the  breathle-ss  fight  to 
victory  the  film  begins  a  panorama 
of  the  inception  and  growth  of  .Am- 
erica's industrial  might.  Ben  Franklin's 
early  experiments  are  followed  by  dra- 
matization of  the  ingenuity  of  later 
men.  The  more  goods  .  .  .  more  jobs 
.  .  .  more  goods  cycle  is  shown  through 
the  fascinating  detailed-drawing  tech- 
nique until  recent  times,  then  live- 
action  scenes  show  the  heights  reached 
by  electric  power  today  and  the  |)romise 
of  the  future.

A  scene  from  "Baltimore   Plan." 

The  Original  Americans 

•  Under  the  sponsorship  of  I*.  Lorillard 
and  Company,  makers  of  Old  Gold 
cigarettes,  the  history  and  present  day 
lives  of  Indian  tribes  are  being  docu- 
nienttil  b\  a  continuing  series  of  color 
films. 

Five  films  lia\e  been  made  to  date, 
and  the  latest.  Girint  of  the  North, 
de\iates  slightly  from  the  others.  It  is  a 
21-niinule  pictorial  treatment  of  .Alaska. 

rhe  life  and  customs  of  the  .Alaskan 
Indians  and  Eskimos  receive  consider- 
able coverage,  but  the  principle  subject 
is  the  land  and  progress  of  the  territory. 
Fallen  Eagle  is  more  typical  of  the 
rest.  It  tells  the  story  of  mighty  .Sioux, 
once  rulers  of  the  great  plains,  but  now 
"tamely  walking  in  the  w-ake  of  heroes." 

The  story  was  filmed  at  the  Rosebud 
Reservation  in  South  Dakota,  and  this 


restless  and  unhappy  people  re-enact 
the  ceremonies  and  manner  of  living  of 
their  fathers. 

Seminoles  of  the  Everglades  was  the 
first  in  the  series,  and  it  was  followed 
by  Pueblo  Heritage  and  Hopis  on  the 
Mesa.  .AH  five  are  available  on  free  loan 
from  the  producer,  .Alan  Shilin,  but 
prints  are  heavily  booked  and  programs 
should  be  planned  w'ell  in  advance.

A  City  of  Today 

•  Certainly  an  important  part  of  the 
American  heritage  is  maintaining  it,  and 
one  of  the  places  this  must  be  done  is 
in  the  large  city.  The  problem  of  slum 
clearance  and  urban  redevelopment  is 
a  vital  one  to  millions  of  .Americans, 
and  it  is  of  economic  and  social  ini 
portance  to  the  entire  nation. 

The  attack  made  cjn  this  problem  bv 
one  city  is  depicteci  in  Baltimore  Plan.  ,i 
21-minute  production  by  Encyclopaedia 
Britannica  Films,  Inc.  The  film  tells 
how  the  community  was  aroused  bv 
newspaper  eposes  of  slum  conditions  in

On  Holding  Discussions 

•  More  and  niore  oig.uii/.itions  across 
the  nation  are  becoming  aware  of  the 
need  for  informal  discussion  groups 
among  public-minded  citizens.  Recog- 
ni/ing  that  free  discussion  is  vital  to 
our  political  system,  they  see  in  their 
organizations  the  opportunity  to  express 
a  \oice  in  local  and  even  national 
affairs. 

Establishing  and  (onducting  effective 
discussions  is  a  difficult  undertaking 
however,  and  many  clubs  could  use  the 
assistance  offered  by  three  22  to  25- 
minutc  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  films. 
They  are:  Room  for  Discusiion,  which 
shows  the  values  to  be  gained;  How  to 
Conduct  a  Discussion,  which  explains 
the  basic  principles;  and  Organizing 
Discussion  Groups,  which  suggests  spe-

Birds  of  North  America 


Nature  In  Flight 


From  the  tiny  lunnming  bird  to  the 
great  Canadian  goose  birds  are  the 
stars  of  a  series  of  three  10-minute  color 
films  sponsored  by  the  Minneapolis- 
Moline  Co.  Tliey  are  especially  ap- 
propriate for  showings  to  groups  with  a 
sports  or  nature  interest,  but  tlie  fascin- 
ating beauty  of  l)irds  makes  these  motion 
pictures  genuinely  ajjpealing  to  almost 
any  audience. 

The  first  in  the  series  is  liirtl  Nesting 
Time  which  deals  with  the  home  life  of 
\'S  relatively  well-known  North  .Amer- 
ican birds.  ,\mong  the  outstanding 
scenes  are  one  of  a  baby  crested  fly- 
catcher valiantly  trying  to  swallow  a 
dragon  fly  and  another  of  a  male  tree 
swallow  who  has  to  line  his  mate's  nest 
with  hard  to  find  white  feathers  I)ecause 
she  won't  take  the  red  ones  lying  aroinid 
the  nesting  site. 

One  point  made  clear  in  this  film  is 
that  because  of  the  tremendous  number 
of  insects  they  destroy  birds  are  tndy 
the  guardians  of  our  food  supply. 

Birds  of  the  Prairie,  the  second  in  the 
series,  won  a  first  award  in  the  class- 
rooin  divisioti  of  the  l'.)53  Boston  Film 
Festival.  Its  locale  is  the  western  praries 
when  flowers  are  in  bloom  and  birds  are 
nesting.  In  one  sequence  a  long-billed 
curlew,  the  largest  of  all  North  .Amer- 
ican shore  birds,  puts  on  her  broken 
wing  act  to  lure  an  intruder  awav  from 
her  eggs.  Birds  of  the  Prairie  emphasizes 
interesting  characteristics  like  tliis  and 
the  infinite  beauty  of  birds  which  make 
them  a  resource  which  shoidd  be  cher- 
isiied  and  guarded  as  an  important  part 
ol  the  Anuriian  Heritage. 

I  In  third  ol  .MinneapolisMoline's

near  at  hand.  .Shown  in  their  nests  are 
the  female  redhead  and  female  gadwall 
as  well  as  newly  hatched   shovellers. 

Some  of  the  exciting  shots  are  of  great 
flocks  of  blue  and  snow  (Canadian  geese, 
pied-billed  and  western  grebes  swim- 
ming by,  and  marsh  hawks  diving  at  the 
camera.  The  film  is  designed  for  sports- 
men's clubs  as  well  as  TV  and  classroom 
use.  It  makes  the  point  that  although 
fall  shooting  with  guns  is  great  sport,  it 
is  even  better  to  go  out  in  the  spring  and 
hunt  waterfowl  with  field  glasses  or, 
better  still,  uiili  a  camera.

a  new  United  Nations  film   shows  their  worldwide  plight 


MDst  ol  the  900  million  children  wIkj 
live  in  today's  world  are  finding 
that  it  isn't  easy  to  grow  up.  Sometimes 
it's  not  easy  to  stay  alive.  They  don't 
make  war  or  poverty,  politics  or  disease. 
Ijiil  tlR\  sillier  the  consequences  of  these 
things. 

(Children  aren't  equipped  to  cope  with 
hunger,  homclessness.  or  desolation,  and 
millions  ot  them  need  help.  They  are 
getting  it  from  the  United  Nations 
International  Children's  Emergency 
fund  which  is  suppported  .solely  by 
\olinitarv  lontriljutions  from  gmerii- 
ments  and  indi\iduals. 

UNICEF  was  founded  in  1946  to 
bring  emergency  relief  to  the  children 
suffering  the  aftermath  of  total  war.  In 
19,")0  it  received  a  new  mandate  from  the 
LInited  Nations  to  bring  aid  also  into 
the  manv  regions  which  lack  modern 
equipment,  supplies  and  skills  to  protect 
the  health  and  welfare  of  iheir  children. 

The  10-minute  motion  pit  tine  The 
Children,  which  received  a  1953  award 
of  merit  from  Scholastic  Teacher  Maga- 
zine,  describes  UNICEF's  attack  on  these 


prf)blems.  It  shows  how  today,  with  the 
help  of  UNICEF  and  the  World  Health 
Organization,  local  governments  can 
strengthen  their  child  care  services  and 
build  safeguards  against  the  disasters 
which  threaten  their  young  people. 

The  films  shows  the  food  production, 
the  health  programs  and  eilucational 
activities  carried  out  in  many  areas,  with 
the  aid  of  the  UN,  which  are  making  a 
happier,  healthier  and  more  hopeful 
world  for  tomorrow's  citizens.

Stretching  the  Budget  Dollar 

•  Taking  lull  advantage  ot  authorita- 
tive consumer  product  information,  and 
using  caution  in  buying  things  on  lime 
are  the  subjects  of  two  recent  Coronet 
Films  productions.  These  pictures,  In- 
slallmcnt  Buying  and  Consumer  Pro- 
tection, seem  to  be  especially  useful  for 
forum  discussions,  and  they  are  beccmi- 
ing  widely  available  as  educational  film 
libraries  throughout  the  nation  acquire 
them  lor  lowiost  rental. 

The  jjitfalls  of  buying  now  and  paying 
later  are  dramatically  demonstrated  in 
the  11-niiinite  film,  Installment  Buying. 
f;omplete  investigation  of  credit,  con- 
tracts and  interest  rates  is  encouraged, 

"Installment  Buying"  advises  careful 
checking  of  contract  terms. 


and  according  to  the  film  the  prospective 
buyer  should  ask  herself  three  ques- 
tions: Is  the  article  w'orth  buying  this 
way?  Can  I  afford  it?  Am  I  getting  the 
best  terms? 

Consumer  Protection  offers  an  11- 
minute  description  of  both  consumer 
and  government  services  available  to  the 
prospective  buyer.  By  taking  advantage 
of  this  information,  the  film  says,  the 
consumer  is  properly  protected  in  her 
buying.  The  higher  standard  of  living 
made  possible  by  buying  on  the  basis  of 
more  than  price  and  appearance  alone  is 
\ividly  illustrated.

Dav  and  every  summer  weekend  to 
follow  lunulreds  of  Americans  will  die 
in  needless  tralfic  accidents.  Estimates 
by  the  National  Safety  Council  as  to  how 
many  people  will  be  killed  during  each 
holiday  period  receive  wide  coverage 
in  the  newspapers,  but  week  in  and  week 
out  the  highways  take  a  huge  toll  re- 
gardless of  publicity. 

More  people  are  killed  on  our  high- 
ways than  are  killed  in  battle,  and  in  re- 
cognition of  that  situation  many  firms 
have  sponsored  16mm  films  which  pro- 
mote safer  driving.

.safety  motion  pictures  are  reviewed  be-

judge  the  viewer  sees  careless  driving 
that  could  well  be  his  own.  For  its 
effective  message  that  safety  is  the  bus-

received  a  top  award  from  the  National

•  Diesel  Race  Car,  a  45-minute  film  in 
color  sponsored  by  Cummins  Engine 
Company,  could  be  called  the  story  of  a 
great  failure.  It  is  an  honest  record  of 
a  good  try,  and  an  exciting  picture. 

Car  No.  28,  in  last  year's  "500"  at 
Indianajjolis,  never  finished  the  race,  but 
ii  cpialilied  lor  the  poll  position  with  the 
record  time  of  138.01  miles  per  hour. 
The  car.  made  by  this  film  sponsor,  a 
diesel  engine  manufacturer,  was  tops 
in  areodynamic  styling,  speed  and  stabil- 
itv.  Being  pulled  out  of  the  race  because 
of  breathing  difluulties  did  not  make  it 
a  failure  in  a  broad  sense,  because  every 
fact  discovered  during  the  building  ot 
the  great  diesel  will  be  used  in  (himmins 
future  engines.       See  group  one,  Assn.

offered  in  the  Standard  Oil  Company

There's  a  light  romantic  plot,  but  the

Indiana  which  tells  of  the  hardships  and 
enterprise  of  the  early  pioneers.  Re-

brings  back  the  old  river  days. 

Farther  west  are  Pike's  Peak  and  the 
Rockies,  and  Trail  Ridge  Road  winding 
two-miles  high  among  snow-streaked 
peaks.  I  he  majestic  Tetons  tower  above 
\\'voming  plains,  and  Pine  trees  frame 
a  brilliant  \  iew  of  Jackson  Lake  and  the 
moiuitains  behind  it.  To  the  north  ate 
the  sights  of  Yellowstone  park.

exclusive  16mm.  feature  that  eliminates  com- 
pletely the  chief  causes  of  projector  breakdowns! 

At  just  S400,  the  Pageant  is  still  the  economi- 
cal top-choice  projector  for  average  l6mm.

Kodak  have  come  four  more  projectors — each

the  sound-and-silent  projector. 
Ideal  for  projection  under  difficult 
conditions  ...  in  hard-to-darken

Here's  what  A-V  experts 
_   are  saying  about  Pageants 

\^^L  'I^or  years  our  service  department 

^£^^^  h-is  received  all  makes  of  projectors 
^^^^"  that  have  been  abused  from  over- 
^^  oiling   as    well   as   for  the   lack   of 

proper  oiling.  Of  course,  these  projectors  came  to 
us  for  repairs  as  a  result  of  mechanical  failures 
which,  in  many  cases,  occurred  during  the  presen- 
tation of  a  classroom  lilm.  In  our  estimation,  oil- 
ing is  the  number  one  problem  of  most  projectors. 
Sow,  thanks  to  Kodak,  the  Pageant  Projector^ 
which  requires  no  lubrication  by  the  user,  has 
solved  this  problem." 

R.  Hilton  McCrory 

Stanley  Projection  Company 

Alexondria,  La. 


"There's  no  doubt  about  it — im- 
proper lubrication  is  the  chief 
cause  of  sound-projector  break- 
downs. A  large  percentage  of  pro- 
jectors that  come  back  to  our  shop  have  been 
either  over-  or  under-oiled.  Often  this  results  in 
big  repair  bills,  to  say  nothing  of  the  time  the  pro- 
jector is  out  of  service.  That's  why  we're  getting 
so  many  calls  for  the  permanently  pre-Iubricaled 
Pageant.'* 

William  L.  Weeden 

Otcar  H.  Hirt,  Photographic  Supplies 

Philadelphia,  Pa. 


"Practically  ever>body  knows  that 
too  little  oil  will  cause  working 
parts  to  wear  out  and  result  in  pro- 
jector failure.  But  few  people  seem 
to  realize  that  over-oiling  is  just  as  bad.  It  gums 
up  parts  and  stalls  motors.  Many  of  our  custom- 
ers have  found  the  permanently  lubricated  Pag- 
eant a  happy  solution  to  this  problem.'* 

William  C.  Raike 
Raike  Company 
Los  Angeles,  Calif. 


"Most  projectors  that  come  to  our 
service  department  for  repair  arc 
found  to  have  suffered  from  im- 
proper lubrication — either  loo 
much  or  too  little.  With  the  Kodascope  Pageant 
this  critical  maintenance  problem  has  been  elimi- 
nated. The  Pageant  is  a  fine  projector  at  a  reason- 
able price."

x\EW  MANAGEMENT  ANNOUNCES  PROGRAM 

rp  FFECTIVE  JANUARY  1.  Vm.  this  eight-year  ..1(1 
^--^  publication  is  being  acquired  from  its  founders. 
.\udio-Visual  Publications.  Inc.  of  Wisconsin  by  the  pub- 
lishers of  Blsiness  Screen  M.\g.\zine.  Readers  of  See  & 
HK.iR  are  already  receiving  copies  of  Business  Scree.n  as  a 
further  fulfillment  of  subscription  obligations  and  a  vigor- 
ous new  See  &  Hear  series  of  issues  will  begin  with  our 
first  publication  in  February  under  this  strong  new  man- 
agement. 

Thus  moments  of  greatness  are  remembered  over  the  past 
eight  years  and  a  period  of  indecision  ended.  The  new  See 
&  Hear  in  1954  will  be  completely  dedicated  to  the  inter- 
ests of  its  subscribers  in  the  field  of  education.  It  will  be 
thoroughly  independent  in  viewpoint  and.  accepting  no 
advertising  in  the  initial  stages  of  this  new  program,  will 
freely  express  its  opinions  and  evaluate  materials  where 
such  expression  and  evaluations  have  been  badly  needed. 
The  new  program  assumes  the  character  of  five  special  re- 
ports to  our  readers  as  its  main  feature.  Certainly  one  of 
these  will  cover  the  positive  and  negative  aspects  of  the 
lurrent  boom  for  educational  television  facilities  nation- 
wide. 

From  pocket-size  to  regular  format.  See  &  He.ar  had  imK 
one  mission:  to  serve  school  administrators  and  teachers. 
As  such  it  will  continue  on  that  course  in  1954.  The  best 
in  new  materials,  new  utilization  techniques,  ideas  for 
budget-raising,  in-service  training  of  teachers,  and  open 
debate  on  major  policv  issues  are  features  within  the  scope 
of  our  1954  editorial  program. 

The  loyalty  of  our  subscriber  family  during  this  recent 
period  of  transition  was  a  memorable  aspect.  They  shall  be 
remembered  and  served  to  our  utmost  in  the  year  ahead.  In 
serving  these  readers  we  expect  to  hold  to  the  best  tradi- 
tions of  real  audio-visual  leadership  and  to  speak  freely  on 
those  matters  which  vvill  help  the  field  advance  toward  the 
goal  of  widest  possible  classroom  utilization  of  the  finest 
in  audio  and  visual  materials.  — OHC

I  |)|()-\ISL  ^1,  SKKMCE  on  the  local 
or  county  level  is  the  paramount  in- 
terest of  everv  a-\  director  and  It-achcr. 
To  attain  the  ullimalc  goal  of  true  class- 
room utilization  of  motion  pictures, 
filmstrips  and  other  classroom  tools, 
the  source  of  supply  must  be  brought 
closer  and  closer  al  hand.  Statewide 
library  facilities  at  our  larger  colleges 
and  uniyersities  have  rendered  inval- 
uable service  during  the  formative  years 
but.  in  this  new  year  ahead,  the  utmost 
effort  should  be  made  to  continue  the 
work  of  building  and  supporting  city 
and  county  libraries  as  well  as  actual 
collections  within  our  larger  .schools. 
(  ertainly  filmstrips  and  recordings  will 
be  acquired  for  individual  buiUlings. 

The  untiring  efforts  of  the  nation's 
largest  and  oldest  classroom  film  pro- 
ducing company.  Encyclopaedia  Britan- 
nica  Films,  Inc..  have  been  devoted  U> 
this  cause.  Assistance  in  building  comi- 
ty film  libraries  has  been  a  primary 
mission  of  EB  Films'  staff  in  the  field. 
Other  producers  and  many  audio-\  isnal 
leaders  on  the  state  and  local  level 
have  been  similarly  engaged. 

A  model  program  of  this  kind  is  the 
West  Texas  Cooperative  Audio-Visual 
Services,  centered  at  Texas  Techno- 
logical College  in  Lubbock  under  the 
insjiircd  Icadcrshii)  of  Dr.  John  S.  Car- 
roll and  supervised  by  Henry  K.  Mi  - 
Carty  as  audio-visual  director. 

Hundreds  of  reels  of  classroom  hlni^ 
ha\e  been  acquired  through  this  co- 
operative program  to  serve  the  schools 
of  the  region.  Beyond  this  material 
service,  however,  the  \^  est  Texas  (co- 
operative has  examined  these  profes- 
sional responsibilities: 

(II  The  in-service  program  for 
teacher  training  in  Audio-Visual  Edu- 
cation offered  In  Texas  Technological 
College. 

(2 1  Duties  of  auilio-\  isiuil  coor- 
dinators in  the  rciiion. 

I .)  I  rilni  icipiisilidii  and  dislrilni- 
lion  pallciiis. 

(  i  I  Study  of  local  Iransporlalion 
problems. 

(5)  F.xalualion  and  selection  of  urw 
materials. 

ff)l  Croup  discussion  of  problems  of 
local  iililizalion  and  distribution  of 
audio-\  isual  materials. 


Joined  together,  the  comparatively 
modest  budgets  of  local  school  districts 
make  a  formidable  sum  which  benefits 
all  who  make  up  the  West  Texas  Co- 
o])erative.  These  benefits  go  beyond 
the  sharing  of  valuable  classroom  mate- 
rials: they  help  imjirove  the  profession- 
al stature  of  all  who  serve  within  the  in- 
ili\idnal  schools  and  thus,  are  vastly 
im|Mo\iiig  the  quality  of  instruction 
giycn  piijiils  uilliin  the  member  schools. 

How  many  of  the  .i. 000-odd  counties 
\iilliin  the  I  .8.  are  achieving  a  similar 
realistic  goal?  Many  states  have  made 
real  progress  but  ])robably  less  than 
10%  are  on  such  a  practical  basis  of 
service.  The  other  905c  are  .Mi.'i.sion 
No.  1  in  1951. 

County  library  services,  budgets, 
standardized  forms,  etc.  will  be  the 
subject  of  a  See  &  Hear  Special  Report 
on  our  1954  editorial  program.  We 
cannot  think  of  better  examples  than 
the  ^S  est  Texas  Cooperative  .Audio- 
visual Services  but  wherever  the\  are 
.  .  .  we'll  inilude  them  I

days  when  kings  bore  arms.  Three 
thousand  weapons  hang  where  Wil- 
liam the  Thirds  gunsmith  hung

A  BRIEFING  FOR 
THE  BATTLE  AGAINST 


SLUMS    -^ 


"The  Living  City"  Is  Visual  Report 
on  Recent  Study  of  City  Planning 


♦  Fifty  years  ago,  Jacob  Kiis  was 
admonishinsr  New  Yorkers  with  a  ter- 
rifying treatise  caileti.  "How  the  Other 
Half  Lives."  Twenty  years  ago.  Frank- 
lin Roosevelt  was  warning  that  "one- 
third  of  our  nation  is  ill-housed."  Both 
men  were  concerned  with  the  total 
])rohleni  of  povertv  hut  both  were 
quick  to  point  to  |)0\  eriv  s  i)ulwark. 
the  slum. 

The  vigorous  growth  of  urban  liu fil- 
ing in  America  during  this  century, 
the  most  massive  growth  in  world 
history,  seems  exceeded  only  by  the 
virulence  of  its  own  decay.  The  war 
against  this  decav  is  being  joined  by 
alarmed  communities  throughout  the 
land.  .\  new  briefing  for  today's  bat- 
tle is  provided  in  The  Living  City,  a 
21  minute.  16nini  sound  motion  pic- 
ture produced  b\  Encyclopaedia  Britan- 
nica  Films  for  the  Twentieth  Century 
Fund. 

Slums  Are  Major  Problem 
Slums  are  no  longer  something 
shadowy  on  the  other  side  of  the  tracks 
and  it  is  increasingly  diflicult  to  meas- 
ure them  in  fractional  terms.  Thr 
Living  City  shows  the  cancer  in  stone: 
the  old.  overcrowded,  hard-core  slum 
corroding  in  every  direction  until 
there  are  rings  of  blight  around  ihr 
city,  bitterly  contained  bv  outer  ri:igs 
of    booming    suburbs. 

Based  on  the  Twentieth  Century 
Funds  newly  published  sludv  of  city 
]>laiuiing  by  Miles  Colean.  the  film  ob- 


serves the  continuous  urban  cycle  of 
growth,  decav  and  renewal.  It  asserts 
that  this  transition  may  be  for  better 
or  worse.  de|)ending  on  what  is 
plaimed  and  accomplished  at  point  of 
renewal.  Chronically,  in  the  film's 
evidence,  there  is  little  planned  and 
less  accomplished.  1  he  delays  in  clear- 
ing and  reconstruction  ally  time  and 
space  with  the  slums  progress. 

Evolution  of  a   City 

The  baffling  physical  jiroblein  of 
nearly  all  big  cities,  the  opposing 
rings  of  blight  and  suburbs,  is  mapped 
in  animation.  The  sociological,  eco- 
nomic and  political  problems  involved 
in  the  rings  are  mirrored  in  the  forth- 
right j)hotography  of  children,  men 
and  women  and  the  cities  they  live 
in. 

The  age  -  bombed  neighborhoods, 
miles  of  faded  jumbles  of  filthy  mean- 
ness that  great  populations  must  call 
home  and  landscape,  the  pathetic 
storefront  playgrounds,  the  choked 
streets,  the  crumbling  horror  "[archaic 
walls,  splintery  stairways,  sagging 
])orches.  the  rat  haven  fire-tra|)s  arc 
in  The  Living  City.  The  people  of  llii.- 
landscape  are  there,  wistful  girls  won- 
dering what  beauty  looks  like,  mothers 
uho  wonder  how  their  children's 
beauty  can  survive,  earlier  mothers 
who  have  grown  to  think  the  slums 
beautiful  and  would  not  leave  them. 
The  child  playing  on  the  trash  pile, 
happy   in   a  way   of   life.    The   factory 


owner  driving  to  work.  Is  it  uoilli 
the  effort,  nudging  through  this  melrcj- 
|)olitan    mess? 

And  wiiire  uill  it  end:  when  all 
the  city  is  this  way.  who  will  live 
here,  who  will  work  here,  who  will 
visit?  Vthat  good  will  be  the  factory? 
These  questions  the  fUm  forces  the 
viewer  to  inquire.  These  questions  it 
addresses  to  those  who  block  the  city's 
renewal  by  industrial  strangidation.  by 
outdated  traffic  controls,  negligence.  It 
speaks  to  conscienceless  landlords  and 
slovenly  tennants.  careless  business 
houses,  lax  and  corrupt  officials  and 
a  purblind,  retreating  citizenry. 

This  done.  The  Living  City  gives 
credit  where  it  has  been  earned  by 
civic  plaiming  and  reform.  It  shows 
how  many  cities  have  at  least  begun 
to  fight.  It  shows  Baltimores  block- 
by-block  attack,  strict  enforcement  of 
municipal  ordinances  and  a  vigilant 
citizen's  committee  clocking  the  oper- 
ation. 

The  Living  City,  produced  by  John 
Barnes,  is  available  through  the  coun- 
try-wide offices  of  Encyclopaedia  Bri- 
tannica  Films  at  a  sales  price  of 
.?l(in.(10  or  a  rental  fee  of  -51.50. 

I  rban  citizen  groups  and  civic  or- 
ganizations have  indicated  interest  in 
The  Living  City.  Through  their  con- 
certed action,  an  aroused  citizenry 
may  yet  deal  with  |)roblems  that  are 
as  close  to  home  as  home  itself.
