The filmslide requires small storage space and is easily shipped from one school to the next. It is one of the most economical types of visual aids available. The showing of the filmslide, as with other types of projected pictures, has the capacity of centering the attention of the class; each picture can remain on the screen as long as needed.

There is nothing that can replace the motion picture when you need to show motion, or when you need continuity of action; but why show a motion picture of such inanimate objects as Stone Mountain, the Grand Canyon, or the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde? Do you not lose something of the feeling of stability of such inanimate objects when you see them in motion pictures?
