May, 1923 The Educational Screen 215 "VISUAL INSTRUCTION" Being Number Seven of the Course of Study Monographs For the Elementary Schools of Berkeley, California, including the Kindergarten and First Six Grades. ....--,. PREPARED BY A Committee from the Berkeley Public Schools under the chairmanship of Anna V. Dorris. The appearance of this Monograph is a notable event in the history of the development of visual education. It is the first thing of the kind. It is a manual of procedure prepared by experts, based on concrete^practice instead of theory, and hence calculated to be of great value to eVery progressive teacher who has already started the use of visual aids or whp is planning to do so. Superintendent H. B. Wilson, of the Berkeley Public Schools, writes, in his Introduction to the Monograph, as follows : "This is the first effort which has been made in Berkeley, or elsewhere so far as I can find, to issue a hand book and guide in the use of visual instruction materials " ' .' ' ' ' "The committee, which was appointed about two years ago, went about its pioneering in this field with the idea of gathering from all possible sources information in reference to (1) the various sorts of materials which might be used in visual instruction and (2) any results which had been secured from the use of such m'aterials. The amount of information available of a scientific sort in the field of the committee's effort was, and is still, very limited. Such information as could be gathered from other sources has been supplemented by the experiences of the teachers and principals in the Berkeley schools." TABLE^OF^CONTENTS 10.
