MEETINGS: The Correctional Education Association meets annually as an affiliate of the American Prison Association. Occasionally, meet- ings are held for the purpose of discussing the use of visual aids. FINANCING: A Visual Aids Service is maintained by each separate institution. FORECAST: There is every possibility that in the not too distant future provi- sions will be made for more detailed study of visual aids and their use in the correctional service. The Correctional Education Asso- ciation has very limited finances, but the service possible in many fields is unlimited. The Visual Aids Service is one of the objectives of the Association and it is hoped that some work may be done on the problem within the next year. COUNCIL OF MOTION PICTURE ORGANIZATIONS, INC.
