Frost, of the famous Yerkes Observatory, discussing: in a delightfully "human" way what the perfection of photography has meant to astronomy. Striking photographs from the Yerkes Observatory collection illustrate this two-part article. The Yale History Films Professor Nathaniel W. Stephenson writes of the great undertaking fathered by Yale University Press — to tell the story of America in a series of one hundred motion-picture reels. He gives illuminating details of the filming of the plays thus far produced — "Columbus" and "Jamestown." Seeing Things in School Work How the Emerson School in Seattle overcame the opposition of "stand-patters" who "didn't send their children to school to become movie fans." Today, yesterday's objectors would fight any move to take the film out of the curriculum. Making a Propaganda Movie Mary Winslow, of the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, tells how they made "When Women Work," the Bureau's film for publicizing its standards of equal pay, short hours, and good working conditions for women in industry. Recording Health Habits How visualization in the teaching and practice of health habits arouses enthusiasm that carries a child over tasks through which he once had to be pushed or pulled. Sibyl Kent Stone, Health Expert of the New England Dairy and Food Council, illustrates her story with charming pictures from a booklet in which boys and girls may "keep score" on how successfully they are playing the game of health. School and Jackie Coogan The most adored child in Screenland does not go to school. Instead, school comes to him. How this is managed, and how Jackie came to play "Oliver Twist," will be told in story ard picture. Published monthly by the Society for Visual Education, Inc. 806 W.
