The problem of adequate distribution of cinematographic apparatuses amongst the schools, will also have to be studied with particular care. The mission of the International Institute, in the field of the didactic film reveals itself as necessary and valuable. All the States and schools of the World, animated by the same fervent zeal, ought to collaborate with the Institute. Now that the efficacy, nay the necessity of teaching with the auxiliary of the cinematograph, is a recognised fact, it is essential to examin and face the problem in all its grand and imposing aspects. In this Review, the various forms and possibilities are discussed, the experiences and the results obtained are compared, the technical systems of projection and preservation of films are studied as well as every other item, which can contribute to this new form of instruction. It is well that all the influential classes and the political men of all the States should understand the importance of this problem and give it the attention it demands. Now, that the League of Nations possesses a powerful technical organ which examins these questions, it is necessary that all the Nations which have signed the Covenant should give the attention required to the important study of educational and didactic cinema !
