These include maps, diagrams, homework papers, pictures, books, magazines, and solid objects. Slides and preliminary preparation of materials are not required. What can it DO for me? vu-lyte will help to heighten class interest. Pupils will grasp subjects more readily. Lessons so learned are longer retained. It will make it possible for you to use more illustra tive materials to enrich class discussions and increased pupil participation will become a natural result. What ARE its advantages? VU-LYTE is simple to operate; provides the brightest, sharpest pictures in brilliant colors, and can be used in a partially lighted room. No similar projector has so many exclusive advantages.
