Washinslon. D. C. — Accurate data and information about films, equipment, and their uses by the Government agencies for vocational training and similar purposes, are practically impossible of assembly. One striking exception is the U. S. Office of Education which now is able to offer a definite film training program lo all agencies of government concerned with vocational education in machine tools and shipbuilding skills. The other two-thirds of the civilian defense industries will be in full swing within the next nine months and will be scattered over all parts of the United States, probably also in foreign areas, where there are United States armed forces, and where the civilians connected with Defense may carry the industrial help of the United States. Much of this vocational training will be spread, in the near future, through the 60 clients of the United Slates who receive lendlease aid. These include China, the Dutch East Indies, the French. Belgians, and others, in Africa: and other groups elsewhere, such as the Russians, who need industrial skilled training in some techniques. There are approximately 25 training tilnis available which may be obtained from a number of agencies, such as the Social Security .\dministration, the Works Projects Administration. Civilian Conservation Corps. National Youth Administration, and others. The principal vocational training films, as is widely known, have been made, and will be made, by the Office of Education, under supervision of Dr. John Vi . Sludehaker, Dr. C. F. Klinefelter, and under BUSINESS SCREEN Victory Training Edition Vol. IV Co.MK.NTS Nu 1 Visual Aids in War Industry -4 Full Speed to Victory 13 Teaching Fundamentals 1-1 Precision Measuring Films 16 The Engine Lathe 1'^ The Milling Machine 19 Vertical Boring Mill 20 The Shaper 21 Radial Drill 22 Visual Aids in Shipbuilding 23 Shipbuilding Skills - 24 * • * Uuslo.-.!

These thirty training films. \irlually classics in the instruction of skills in machine work, are the earliest iirodiicis of the fifty training films scheduled by the Office of f;ducation. The balance of the fifty will be produced rapidly during the early part of 1942. These Office of Education films also include ilie shipbuilding series, likewise produced under ihe direction of Floyde E. Brooker. at the naval shipyards at Newport News. Va.. with the help of liie Navy, the U. S. Maritime Commission, and with the general cooperation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Navy Intelligence section. This shipbuilding series, for use in all areas where shipbuilding is being rushed, has the technical aid of the foremost shipbuilding machinists and technicians in .•\nierica. The need for this series is obvious when you realize that at least six times as many merchant ships will be built in the coming year as were built in 1911. and that the Navy tonnage will be expanded from 1.500.000 to 5.000.000 tons. The training films pr»duced by the Office of Education will be available to all agencies of Ihe Government, to all vocational training schools, and to all training sections in industry, as well as lo all other non-Government agencies which have anything to do with the training of skilled workers. The need of skilled workers grows by leaps and bounds: and the need of films to aid in the training apparently has no I I'Icuse turn to Page Thirty-six) ^JVo ArOHr \] e\* tree" ^t'O ' iW»»»*i ♦on **°^'^'I V\o^^^^ *o" I. on* br\\V*«» obo jTOC gS^' f»\m% ^ pf*** V. ore iV**^ .vo \^^^ rtxorc ^r\n**' nce. u* ^t\t ^Vxese be .V.e V>-*^.f o'< ^'""'^ *V\C no n*« ,f\t»A nop -;, nev-^ ^^vn^s co ^.^JS't»'^^„^s. pri" sp .<>* ■ybtn'^* ne ** '^.^raord^ MO«f "fcne ^**'* for ^1 o* ^"'^ .to^. ^o ^^^^^^ rO&^ po rK SOSb ,^^t.^ 0 \,^ w^ Mt L is aO J 6 Biisint'ss Screen
