The commentator refers to buying of territory, as contrasted with con- quest. . . Apart from the interest in this pic- ture as a travelogue, it is of value to show the development of America through the pur- chase of territory. While the scenes are well planned, the technical quality of the photog- raphy leaves something to be desired.

Designed to show the various stages and episodes which led to the development of the United States. Such scenes are shown as: The landing of the Pilgrims, the fight for independence, pioneer expansion, the war between the states, and the World war. Titles well written; though most of the scenes seem to have been taken from old feature films, some of the shots are very good; film does not appear quite complete enough.

It can be used advantageously in Junior High School History classes studying the early history of this country to show the close connection be- tween the United States and England and some of our heritage from that country. The film can also be used in English classes when biography is being studied."
