EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 364 Boy in court— Continued "An excellent film for community usage, with adult audiences, in stimulating inter- est in, and providing information about, probation work. Although the Committee does not consider it entirely suitable for use in secondary schools because of the possibility that it may contribute un- desirable ideas to youthful minds, it should be valuable for college use in connection with delinquency problems. Technical pro- duction ... is excellent in all respects. Educational screen jh-sh-c-adult Dead end; excerpt (children sequence).
