Film Catalogue THE Educational Screen is interested in the entire field of visual instruction, and believes heartily in the use of all sorts of visual aids. It is the purpose of the school department to print every month a list of current releases in non-theatrical films. It does this for the benefit of the teacher who has not the time, nor perhaps the accessibility to exchanges, to gather this information for himself. In regard to the sources from which other visual materials may be secured, the teaching profession needs little assistance. Publishing companies make maps, charts and picture sets easily available. The sources of slides are well known, or easily dis- coverable. The newer field of the motion picture, however, is relatively unorganized. There are scores of producing com- panies, and dozens of exchanges in the larger cities acting as distributors. It is for the purpose of furnishing a reference list to the teacher who wishes to use such materials, and a guide to the sources from which he may secure them, that this film catalogue is printed. An effort will be made to list all classes of films—scenics, industrials, nature study pictures, and scientific films, as well as those on literary and historical subjects. Somewhat extended reviews of theatrical productions particularly suitable for serious uses will be included occasionally in this department.
