*'Americanization"^^ — the Teacher's New Task The hope of America lies in the prompt Americanization of the youth of the land. Can it be done—with the children of foreign-born parents running into the millions? Yes— It can, and it must! Visual Education and the motion pictures of the Ford Educational Weekly (with its many American films) seem providentially fitted to help in this critical juncture. Motion Pictures speak in all languages. Every mind in the world touches all other minds in the "movies." Translation is not needed. And a motion picture is so easy to show! Insert a film—press a button, and life is pulsating before the eyes of a school. Signing of the Declaration of Independence on the wall helps. But the thing itself in a motion picture—not "words" or wall pictures —gets a story across to the mind of a pupil— no matter where born, or how old or how young, in one-tenth of the time, and with a thousandfold dent on his memory. That "Americanization" means loyalty to home as well as to Country is a theme of the Ford Educational Weekly. The "Weekly" will put into the mind and heart of the pupil the home life of the quality for which America stands. These films cover history, industry, science, home life and art. They are distributed by the Goldwyn Distributing Corporation trom 22 leading cities. This reduces expressage to a minimum. Every loyal School-teacher should know what the Ford Educational Weekly really is. We want to tell you, and we want your helpful suggestions as to what new films we shall make. So—please r^ below.
