It unveils amazing products of today's labor- atories—new things and new methods which may be used to enrich our lives, broaden our horizons. "It even goes further as it tears aside the veil of time that hides the future from our eyes and reveals the magnificent heritage that science holds in store for us."

The tech- nical make-up of the film is rather incon- sistent. . . If a school wants a sound film to be used to develop an interest in the study of geometry this film is excellent for such a purpose as it does show how geometry is not only all about us but is essential in almost everything man does."

After explaining positive and negative numbers from coordinate positions, it branches out into tri-dimensional areas. An excellent film in many ways, although technically scarcely more than average. A noble film attempt in the comparatively 'un- filmed' field of mathematics. Only suitable for advanced math students. (Should be useful for] solid geometry, advanced math, physics."
