Stresses protection from weather, adequate light, safety, beauty, and freedom from insects "Although this film might be used to introduce the study of housing standards in a social studies class, it is chietly for elementary science and for home-making courses at the high school and college levels. Because the film encompasses far more content than can be covered adequately in an eleven-minute subject it should not be used as a single source of suggestion or information on home planning. But its graphic and specific presentation of several elements, often taken for granted in housing studies, recommend it as a highly useful film." Ed. screen WAR WHERE YOU LIVE.
