This film has been used in our junior high schools and even in an elementary eighth grade studying Civics. . . The subject is however definitely allocated in our system to the senior high school for the twelfth year, because the central theme for that year in Social Studies is 'American problems.'

Gates, of Teachers college, Columbia university, and Celeste C. Peardon Describes the function of police officers in general and follows a typical city patrol- man through one of his regular shifts of duty. In due course, the use of motorcycles and patrol cars with two-way radio communication is demonstrated and explained. Lessons in pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety are de- veloped, along with the role of the policeman in rescue work and the apprehension of a speed- ing driver "This is a fairly good film for elementary use in connection with safety, social studies, and vocational guidance. It was noted that in one or two instances the patrolman himself failed to observe the best safety practices. The film is within the experiences of the elementary child, and it should contribute to the formation of favorable attitudes toward policemen. Pho- tography is good; organization and sound are adequate."

It shows the duties of the 'Bobbies' in peace time and then shows their new duties as a result of the war. This is not only a good film in classes studying contemporary history but also a good character- training film as it shows the need of coopera- tion and coordination. The humor in it adds to its interest. "It is recommended for all classes, particu- larly civics classes studying the protection of the community." Secondary educ.
