However, since there are (To be continued in the April issue) The Educational Screen Takes Pleasure in Making Two Announcements Regarding its Activities in the Visual Field FIRST, a series of publications specifically concerned with or related to the field of visual education. The first publication of the series will be the thesis written by Joseph J. Weber (now of the University of Kansas) and accepted by Columbia University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. As the first dissertation exclusively upon visual educa- tion to be accepted for the doctor's degree in a great university, this work is a highly significant contribution to a field in which very little research of serious character and scholarly worth has been done. There has been a vast amount of random writing on the question, based on mere opinion or elementary experi- ment, but little has been established and reliable statistics are, so far, exceed- ingly meager. The conclusions arrived at by Mr. Weber by sound research methods will do much to differentiate fact from supposition in this new field. Brief abstracts of certain portions of the book will be printed in The Edu- cational Screen in forthcoming numbers. The volume itself will appear on or before June first, 1922. . SECOND, a comprehensive Questionnaire on visual education, circulated by this magazine on a scale never before attempted in the educational field.

Everv Questionnaire when it leaves this office bears the full name and address of th** recipient and a serial, number, thus insuring accuracy and flexibility in filing returns so as to yield the maximum variety of reliable statistics. The enormous circulation planned for this Questionnaire will make it a matter of months before analysis and tabulation of this mass of information can be available for educators. Partial data, however, can be given in nearly every issue of The Educational Screen.
