The film opens with a series of views of much- publicized city night life; then tells how the scene begins to change at midnight as the revelers go home, so that at last the city is asleep. But a vital part is still awake—men and trucks at work bringing materials needed by the city for the new day's life and work. The film shows a sleeper arising at seven in the morning, and follows him through a few minutes of his day, show- ing how almost every modern convenience is made possible through the men and trucks that had worked while he slept. The film closes with the thought that the Ford Motor Company is proud of its trucks and their accomplishments. Pro- duced ... by the industrial film division of Paramount Pictures."

Zenger's friend, John Alexander, sought and received the as- sistance of the able retired lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, of Philadelphia, whose presen- tation before the jury is a masterly state- ment on the freedom of the press. Zenger's acquittal was one of the first victories for freedom of the press and contributed to the inclusion of this doctrine in the Bill of Rights.

No specific schools are mentioned and the thought of the film is that of the broad use of art study in practically every field of endeavor A map of the United States is seen and it is pointed out that one out of every 10 people in America is of Negro origin. Several shots of Negroes follow. A rapid suggestion of the rise of the Negro in in- dustry, science, agriculture, business and the professions is suggested. Then the education of Negroes is considered and on a map dots locate the schools available to them. Increasingly, we learn, these schools are providing art study for the Negro In reel 1 we see students painting, making pottery, sculpturing and modelling and learning photography. Reel 2 shows students occupied with the study of archi- tecture. They study drama also, building sets, designing scenery, learning the art of make-up and acting. Rhythm is con- sidered necessary and one school uses primitive African dances for this purpose. Folk and modern dancing are studied also. It is in music that the Negro has made his most outstanding contributions and considerable footage is given here to ob- serving these students singing, practicing at the piano and organ. A quick over-view follows—a girl paint- ing, art work on a table, a blue print, folk dancing and some masks Jh-sh Guide Hampton institute. 15min 16-si-rent $4.50 1941 Harmon found. 325 May also be rented in kodachrome for $10 A survey of the training of Negro men and women in skills of the hands as well as those of the mind.
