A Moment With the Managing Editor MOST magazines from time to time issue special numbers. In these issues it is sometimes necessary to devote more space to one group of related subjects than is ordinarily done. This issue is largely devoted to the educational use of motion pictures. The other fields — church and industry — however, receive their regular amount, but because of the additional amount given to the school, the three fields do not have approximately equal proportions as is the case in regular issues. An increase in size permits each to get its regular attention, however. The reason for this special issue is the National Education Association meeting at Atlantic City. Educators attending this meeting will receive this issue of Moving Picture Age. Future special numbers will give particular attention to the other fields of the magazine. Frank E.
