Editorial 281 A New Department THE Educational Screen exists to support everything and everybody it can believe in as an agency or influence for the good of the visual move- ment. This means every firm or organization, large or small, that is ualified to further the advance of the movement, and whose qualifications are pparent in its product, in its service, and in its understanding of and sympathy nth the educational field. To do this sincerely and consistently, this magazine will hold fast its orig- nal position of genuine independence, for from such a position only can its udgments have meaning and value for the cause. We are interested solely n being the organ of the whole movement—not of any individual element herein—and the value of such an organ is becoming steadily more evident to eaders, contributors and advertisers. Commercial firms can make use of such an organ through advertising, rheir revenues permit it. Non-commercial organizations cannot advertise, rheir lack of revenue prevents it. Yet the service of the latter to the cause nay richly deserve publicity and, indeed, must have it to be wholly effective. There are now two non-commercial organizations in the country, founded ixpressly to promote visual education, whose activities merit the greatest pos- ible publicity. The older one is The National Academy of Visual Instruction, .t has already a definitely designated "official organ," namely, The Moving ^icture Age. The more recent organization is The Visual Instruction Asso- :iation of America. This organization does not desire an "official organ" but seeks merely a channel through which it may say what it wishes to say to the educational public regularly. The Educational Screen is very glad to announce, therefore, that it will jive a definite portion of its space in each issue to The Visual Instruction As- sociation of America. This space shall be exclusively the Association's own md will bear no editorial relation whatever to the rest of the contents of The Educational Screen. This magazine will receive, of course, no monetary ad- vantage by this arrangement. We give the space as a part of our service, md believe it will benefit all concerned—our public, the Visual Instruction \ssociation of America, and the magazine as well, by adding to its contents an- other element of real value and interest.
