New Slidefilm Shows Good Meeting Tips ♦ Many visualized meetings fall short of their objectives because of faulty meeting management. The most effectual slidefilm meeting is the meeting that is planned carefully to provide against interruptions, interferences, digressions. accidents. As a result of experience in many thousands of slidefilms sales — training meetings in the years past. The Jam Handy Organization has produced and made available a slidefilm titled Tips On Slidefilms, the purpose of which is to show, first, what makes for a perfect visualized meeting, and second. on the other hand, what can serve to nullify the efforts of the best possible meeting leader, and the most receptive attention of an interested audience, or group. Little Things Count Simple as the modern slidefilm projector is to use, eflicient as are the appurtenances that are needed for showings, there is yet a surprisingly large list of ""little things" — so little that they are often overlooked or neglected because they are little — which have to do witli the quality of a meeting. The new slidefilm is of tlie reading or discussional type. It totals 80 frames, and is presented in five sequences : 1. Preparing the classroom or meeting room 2. Use of the projector 3. Use in the classroom 4 Use in the workshop 5. Use as a reference library Perhaps the suggestions contained in the first section of this subject will be of the greatest use and interest to the majority of slidefilm users — preparing the class or meeting room for a smooth and effectual session. Hon TO Ofek\tf. Projector The second part illustrates and explains how to load the projector and adjust it for use. An interesting phase of this new picture is that which visualizes how the slidefilm may be used in the workshop. It is pictured ho' the image may be projected on thi wall floor or even the ceiling to guide and help the student oi worker actually engaged in executing a mechanical principle ualized for him on the slidefilm. Slidefilm kits or subjects as the ba.sis of a reference library is ;iU explained. It is shown how miIjects may be racked and indi vni for quick reference purpose? 1" the instructor, how a few fraim from a certain subject may "itji be used to supply background inormation for an advanced lesson. Also how the slidefilm image may be projected on the blackboard aa pattern for a blackboard i li ill. drawins.
