Page 222 The Educational Screen School Department Film Comprehension Test (On The Eastman Teaching Film "Wheat") (Concluded from June issue School Department) AS STATED in the June article, these "film tests" were developed for use in testing approximately 2000 pupils of dififerent age, grade and intelligence levels, for the purpose of comparing these different groups regarding their comprehension of educational films. The experiments were the basis of the writer's Ph.D. thesis entitled, "The Relationship between Ac- quired Information or Knowledge obtained from Edu- cational Motion Picture Film to the Intelligence, Age, Grade and Type of Pupil". The tests were composed after presenting the film to several groups of teachers, each of whom submitted as many questions as possible. These questions were analyzed, a preliminary test of 60 questions made, and given to some 200 pupils in grades 2 to 8. Results were again analyzed and from the data the present tests were finally prepared. Instructions; Draw a line under the right word or group of words after each question and place its number in parentheses at end of dotted line. There is only one right answer to each question, so d3 not underline more than one answer. Bass says: "Here's a SOUND Cam- era at the price of a silent camera."
