Produced and photo- graphed by Knud Rasmussen with musical background by the Royal Opera House Sym- phony Orchestra of Copenhagen "An excellent presentation of Eskimo life, carefully portraying the environment of these Inhabitants of the Arctic region, their mode of life, customs, habits and costumes. This is an educational film of superior merit which lends itself admirably to schoolroom use where it will really make a child live vicariously through the hardships of Arctic life. "This film can be shown to all grades from kindergarten through senior high school. In the elementary grades, its geographical signifi- cance could be utilized to vitalize the teaching of the activities of these people. In the senior high school a skilled discussion leader would center discussion around the thoughts of ap- preciating the human struggle for existence, of realizing the hardships of other people, and of appreciating our own social and economic ad- vantages. "The simple story which in no way de- tracts from the customs, dress, and mode of living of these people, the highly artistic pho- tography, the interesting lighting effects, the skillful handling of the closeups which reveal the phlegmatic character of the old father, and the naive reactions of the people as a whole, and the euphemistic strains of the symphony have contributed much to the charms and beauty of this unusual picture."

Seeking a way to eliminate the neglect which caused the death of so many wounded soldiers, Clara Barton concludes that the women should go to war to tend the men. She attempts to enlist, but is summarily rejected. "A few women, however, follow her ex- ample and go into the field to serve in the hospital. Their ministrations are accepted, until a shell wrecks the hospital, causing the death of one of the nurses. Clara Barton, despite her dismissal by General Garfield, con- tinues her work. Failing health compels her to seek a cure in a Swiss sanitarium. There she is approached by a group of people who are desirous of her aid to secure the member- ship of the United States in an international organization, the Red Cross. She unsuccess- fully asks Congress to adhere to this interna- tional organization, but when a great confla- gration comes to one of the nation's cities. «l • silent; td-tound; f - inflammabis; nf - safety; p - primary; el - elementary; Jh • Junior high; «h ■ senior high; 0 - college; trade - trade schools 367
