Visual Instruction at Kansas University 17 Since visual aids provide vicarious experience, their value increases with lack of experience on the part of the learners. Consequently, the more limited a child's training is, the greater may be the potential effectiveness of the picture or other aid. But one caution must be reiterated. Viewing a picture does not neces- sarily effect learning. Seeing is merely a fraction of the learning process. Learning is the effect of thinking, feeling, doing—in brief, cerebration. So, unless the visual impression is seized upon vigorously by discussion, question- ing, the pupil expression, it has little or no value whatever. Therefore, the biggest task in the field of visual instruction now is the actual elaboration of a specific methodology. Every subject in the elementary curriculum, and every fundamental element that can be elucidated with either a visual scene or a visualized scheme, will have to be correlated with one or more visual aids. And every teacher will have to know how to secure, system- atize, and utilize most economically the various aids and be an expert in guiding the pupils in their most effective use. ANNOUNCEMENT However rapidly we may be able to increase size from month to month, we shall be quite unable to accommodate all the material deserving a place in The Educational Screen. Space in the February number is already crowded, including the additional pages that thirty days of growth will justify. Among the articles for February will be "Musings on the Movies" by Donald Give Stuart, Professor of Dramatic Literature at Princeton University. Professor Stuart's quality as scholar and playwright gives particular interest and value to his utterances on the new theatrical medium. The present departments will be continued and one or two more of the features planned for this magazine can probably begin in February; especially the Digest and Survey of current articles in the periodical press. Our correspondents are furnishing matter which deserves a section of its own. SJ>ace shall be found at. the earliest moment possible. More space must soon be placed at the disposal of the editor of The Theatrical Film Critique to allow expansion, with corresponding increase in value to our readers, of this distinctly unique department.
