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

OBJECTIVES DEFINED
Records designed for a specific purpose and with limited appeal have a definite place in the educational market. All too often producers overlook the clear definition of objectives and precise statement of concepts in the hope of broadening the market for the record. But in so doing educational values are frequently lost or severely damaged.
Geneva records do not fall into this trap of popularity — and therefore they serve and serve well the particular audience they seek. Geneva Records are published by tlie Westminster Press (Philadelphia 7, Pa.) which is the publication division of the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of .America. Specifically, the record albums are labeled for use "by or with the children ... in the home ... in Sunday school ... in weekday church school."
The selections offered include Scripture (from the Old and the New Testaments), poetry, stories, songs, prayers, singing games and instrumental music. These are carefully chosen and are designed for participation as well as listening. Performance on the records is adult insofar as the voices are concerned, but is simple and direct and is easily understood by a listening child. These recordings are not intended for nor will they be adequate for any but the youngest school children — but the intended listeners will understand and enjoy tliem.
The titles of the four albums are "Holidays" and "My Family" which are directed at the 3-4-5 year old group, and "Through the Year" and "The AV^orld I Live In" which are directed at 6-7-8 year old cliildren. Each album contains four 7 inch 78 rpm records. The longest single side is two and a quarter minutes, well within the listening attention of the children.
"The \V'orld I Live In" has as recording subtitles "Creation," "Beauty,"
"The Wide World and I," "Order' and "Life." These presentations art designed to be used as part of learninj and play sitnations. The recording or "Life," for instance, includes narratioi about life on the earth, the sonf "Thanks Be To God," the poem "Whc Likes The Rain?" and the song "Storn and Flood and Ocean's Roar." .All ol this is contained on one side with playing time of two and a quartei minutes. The reverse side includes the song "Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow," followed by narration relating the song to God's plan for the growth of living things. Then the song "Back of the Loaf" is sung, the narrator in troduces a scene involving the phmting season in East .Africa and, finally, the Litany: "Seeds W'e Bring" is sung.
The producers of these recordings have carefully defined their objectives and their audience and reach tliat group. In selected religious institutions and schools, as well as in many homes, these recordings will be very useful.
Of general interest, but not desig^ietl for specific instructional purposes, is ".And God Said," recently released by Epic Records. This (Epic Records, New York 19, N. Y., LN 3.534) is a series of stories from the Bible in word and song. From the Old Testament, the stories of the Garden of Eden. Noah. .Abraham and the Creation are related. The life of Jesus from birth through crucifixion is told simply and with great dignity. This recording is of limited value from an instructional standpoint but it can be an attractive and pleasant addition to a home record collection.
".And God Said" is entirely professional in concept, creation and delivery. The narration is by Dana .Andrews of Broadway and Hollywood note. His presentation is clear and dignified and entirely in keeping with the theme and mood of the recording. Dickson Hall's impressive script and songs are sung by the Frank Raye Singers with equal simplicity and bring
