The Status of Audio-Visual Instruction 5
ing lasting impressions. We remember that which has been unusual and which has been seen clearly. The magazine, book, or newspaper which does not use pertinent and abundant illustrations is limited in circulation. Industry has found the motion picture, the slide, the photograph, and the chart to be highly successful in the training of men; in showing manufacturing processes; and in encouraging the public to purchase. The motion picture, alone, has been accused of affecting our daily life with a force exceeded only by the combined influence of the press and the radio.
In the educational field, experimental evidence has favored the use of visual-sensory aids in practically every carefully controlled experiment. This has caused the thinking educator to give consideration to educational possibilities. Schools have organized audio-visual divisions for the purpose of co-ordination and centralization of effort. States have formed audio-visual departments or bureaus for the purpose of providing films, slides, recordings, and the like on loan to those schools which cannot afford to purchase the necessary materials. Nations have organized research departments and production facilities for the purposes of directing audio-visual activities and providing the necessary useful materials.
It is interesting to note that the great majority of the leading cities of the United States have well-organized and functioning audio-visual departments. A very small part of the list includes such familiar names as Birmingham, Phoenix, Berkeley, Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Pueblo, Hartford, Bridgeport, Washington, D. C, Atlanta, Bloomington, Gary, Indianapolis, Sioux City, Atchison, Winfield, Cambridge, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Hibbing, Red Wing, Kansas City, St. Louis, Montclair, Newark, Trenton, Albany, Ithaca, New York City, Schenectady, Winston-Salem, Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Tulsa, Portland, Erie, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Reading, Scranton, Providence, San Antonio, Richmond, Seattle, and many others, in all parts of the United States.
Many of the smaller city, county, and district school systems have delegated the work of the audio-visual department to one or more persons on the regular staff. There are several thousands of such part-time visual instruction workers scattered throughout the country.
Among the states and territories which have a loan service of visualsensory aids to education are Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota,
