teacher a say in films. Instead, it is a straightforward demand for universal recognition of the teachers' position in each production, and an urgent call for closer co-operation between the schools and the studios.
The need is not for stupendous productions, but for good films which may be used as an aid to teaching.
Before choosing an educational film for a specific age-group the teacher should first view the film himself, and at the same time examine its content in relation to certain standards necessary for the progressive education of the class.
It should be noted that any films reviewed and passed as suitable for any particular class must be reviewed again at the end of each term, for the needs of each class will vary according to the educational progress made, and the films which may be suitable this term may be totally unsuitable for the children next term. The standards set for the different age-groups should therefore be extremely flexible and always subject to revision.
The standards will also vary from school to school, and no text-book should be used to provide standards for any particular class or age-group — the filmic requirements of Class III at Bersea School will not be the same for Class III at Hillside, in spite of the fact that the age-groups in both classes are identical.
A guide to such standards may be obtained by studying the following questions — questions which should be asked concerning a specific film reviewed for specific use by a certain class : —
Is the commentary such that it may easily be understood by the children in this locality? Are the spoken words within the children's vocabulary?
Is the subject matter presented in conformity with intelligencelevel of the class?

Is the subject matter of the right amount? Not too much or likely to cause confusion?
How much knowledge of the total conveyed will be of benefit to the class ? What percentage is too advanced ?
What parts of the film should be elucidated by the teacher? After the film, or during its progress?
Does the film require a lengthy introduction by the teacher?
As the film is in colour, what should be done to assist those
