Editorial 313 [hat features should be retained, what omitted, what extended, what new features should be introduced—these will be of immense assistance to us fi shaping the policy and contents of the enlarged Educational Screen dur- kg the coming year. In the third place, we want the cooperation of significant contributors firoughout the country who have strong beliefs and sincere doubts about lie new movement, whose achievements in research or in practice prove he genuineness of their interest in the visual cause, whose position and kperience lend authority to their utterances. This will mean material for kir pages both readable and worth the reading. The "scissors" play no art—we do not say the "blue pencil"—in the production program of The fducational Screen. We aim to present original and vital matter only, |f which the source, form, and content will command attention and respect rom thinking men and women everywhere. Finally, we want the patronage of advertisers who can, who will, nd who do render the service that they advertise. In return they can xpect from us the fullest and most cordial efforts to promote their best dvantage in this newly opened and greatly undeveloped field. We are laking a magazine expressly calculated to serve their interests as per- ectly as the interests of our readers. These interests are identical. It is efinitely our business to foster mutual confidence between the commer- ial producer and the educational consumer, in a field where this confidence as often been rudely shaken. We intend to make a magazine that de- erves and, therefore, has the complete confidence of a public which is xactly the public worthy advertisers need to reach. We want only vorthy advertisers to reach it. Such a magazine, with such a public and vith such advertisers, cannot fail to be an invaluable means toward the evelopment of this great visual field to the maximum benefit of all con- erned. Fhe New Magazine ON THE technical side the new magazine will show marked improve- ment in quality of stock, arrangement of matter, and general attractiveness to the reader. Illustrations will be introduced grad- lally. It will have a page size of 6^/4. x 9y 2 inches, and will carry 48, instead )f 32, pages. With this added space at our disposal we shall be able to continue, ndividually or in combined form, all of the valuable features of the two nagazines. A careful balance will be struck between the largely theoret- cal material of the Educational Screen and the largely practical material
