Starting with the infants (up to the age of seven) and the Junior Schools, the film shows us intimately pupils at work and at play, and proceeds in the same manner to the Senior Schools, and so on briefly to the Central and Technical Schools, etc., indicating finally how all training undertaken is aimed at fitting children for the practical business of life, in industry, commerce, commercial art, on the land, and in the home. (Jreat emphasis is laid on the manipulative and practical aspects of modern education, and the en- deavour to make everything as interesting as possible and to give full scope for initiative. A typical scene shows the very small ones managing their own percussion- band. The film ends with various shots of children at physical training marching in formation past the camera, with the sky as background. An attractive film. . . This film should be considered ... as a pictorial impression rather than as a full statement, though within its limitations it is of great interest. . . Of general interest, particularly for teachers and parents." British film inst.

Methods illustrative of past peri- ods are shown as they still last today in out-of-the-way parts of the world. Human carriers, beasts of burden, primitive wheel carts, carriages, stage coaches, and then various forms of modern transportation by steam, electricity and motor are all repre- sented.
