investigations covey the fields of psychology, pediatric psychiatry, sociology, pathology and criminology, and tend to ascertain what, if any, may be the necessary consequences of cinema-shows, propose practical remedies and find out the progress made from year to year. The cinema is described as the most powerful means of propaganda and culture in the Reports that reach the International Institute from far India and torrid Africa, and are full of symptomatic eloquence. These reports as well as legislation concerning the cinema, which becomes more complex every day, will be reviewed and illustrated. The influence exercised by the cinema over peoples amongst whom illiterates are still a high percentage, proves the evident importance of this new instrument of civilization, the need of it that is being felt everywhere as a medium of science and knowledge, and the necessity felt by all nations to take an interest in it with a view to directing it towards the maximum welfare of the peoples . For these reasons the International Institute has decided to edit and distribute this Review, which is at once a living field of battle and action, of investigation and thought and which will contain a record of all the work of the Institute in all the branches of its activities. To give the greatest circulation to the Review, the Institute has not hesitated to publish it in five editions, respectively printed in English, Italian, French, German and Spanish. All those, individuals or moral bodies, who are animated by faith and good zvill and throughout the world apply themselves to science and culture as universal elements of life, and zvho are in a position to indicate new systems or new paths enabling the educational film in its vast range of action to take root, are invited to collaborate openly and freely with us. The columns of our Reviezv are from to-day open to any suggestion, advice and information in the interest of the Institute and of the ideal that the Institute serves.
