Color symbols are used to emphasize meaning. Grade placement based on reading and vocabulary difficulty is grade 4, which al- lows a margin of comprehension for difficult concepts, since the film is planned for use in grade 6 or higher and for review and remedial purposes "Only film of its type in the field of Eng- lish grammar and hence fills a definite need. Good color. Unusual presentation. Good col- orful illustrations." California Cal $1.50 Geo $2 Ohio 440 French language FRENCH "U".

(Ameri- can classroom ser.) 15min 16-sd-$50; rent $4 1940 Baptista 460 Jh-sh-c Guide "The committee is agreed that the pho- tography, sound, narration, and interest are so good that the film should be recommended for use in high school Spanish classes. It is de- signed for the second year level. Since it tells the story of boys and girls doing the everyday things which comprise the life of the average American child, it is a very pleasant way of reviewing the vocabulary needed for conversation. A carefully developed 'Teach- er's Guide' suggests the preparation required if the class is to gain the greatest degree of pleasure and profit from the picture." Commit- tee on classroom films "An excellent film for first year college Spanish or second year high school Spanish. The narration is carefully and distinctly spoken by a native. Sound is clear and photography is very good. Story is simple and easy to fol- low." California "An excellent film for second-year classes in Spanish at the high-school level. It should prove very valuable also for use in junior high classes and in college classes. The film prob- ably would be of some value also in first-year classes, especially in college. It should prove effective in fostering and stimulating the stu- dents' desire for additional Spanish study. Photography is adequate; sound is good."

(Spanish language teaching films ser.) lOmin 16-sd-$40; rent $2 1941 BraF 460 Jh-sh-c Guide This motion picture takes us on a flying trip to the Iberian Peninsula where, by maps, scenes, and commentary we trace the origin and development of the word "Spain" and the history of the Peninsula itself up to the time of the unification of the country known today as Spain "This interesting film gives the student a background that will help to develop an in- terest and create a better understanding of the Spanish Speaking World. Its presentation complies with modern pedagogical principles in teaching a foreign language. If shown a few times the children would have no difficulty learning the song. Use for all Spanish classes —especially beginners. Guidance in junior high school to develop interest in subject groups interested in Pan Americanism."

Weather and meteorological disturbances are treated. Changes in the vegetable kingdom are shown. The woodchuck, squirrel, skunk and hare are shown preparing in their various ways for the coming of winter. Value as a teaching medium is above the average, but not good enough to be outstanding. Recommended for teaching in elementary grades andf for en- tertainment in junior high." A. W.
