Book Reviews ■ School I^se of Visual Aids, by Cline M. Kfion, Senior Specialist in Radii, and Vi.siial Education. Bulletin, 1938, No. 4. 72 pages, paper bound. U. S. Department of tlie Interior, Office of Education, Washington, D. C. This new government bulletin is the second publication re- sulting from the nation-wide survey on the use of visual aids in elementary and secondary school systems, conducted by the Office of Education with the cooperation of the .American Council on Education, in 19.36. f'R06 complete questionnaires were returned by schools, the largest percentage coming from urban communities. The material collected was compiled by the Council and published in The National Visual liducation Di- rectory, in the same year. Now appears the School I'sc of Visual Aids which is an in- terpretative study of the data obtained. Chapter 1 is devoted to a general summary of the reports—the use of audio and visual aids in different-sized school systems, frequency of their use, major difficulties and needs, and agencies distributing visual aids. The remaining three chapters, of which the pamphlet con- sists, present the findings regarding the extent and manner of u.se of; (1) Objects, Specimens, and Models; (2) Still Pic- tures and Graphic Presentations; (3) Motion Pictures. A list of helpful references is appended to each chapter. The bulletin tnay be secured from the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office, for 10 cents. ■ PROCEEDtNGS AND ADDRESSES of the Eighth SessioH of the National Conference on Visual Education and Film Exhibition ( DeN'ry Foundation) and Year Book of Visual Education. Published and distributed by The National Conference on Visual Education, 1111 Armitage Avenue, Chicago—128 pages —paper—50 cents. This meaty little volume packs into 128 pages a full record of what was said and done and heard and seen during the four days conference held at the Francis W. Parker School, Chicago, June 20th to 23rd last, under the genial auspices of the DeVry Foundation. Speakers from many corners of this country and the world touched all aspects of the field, from the most formal and limited phase of visual education in schools to its most elastic extensions into business and professional realms. Addresses ranged over the use of slides in teaching literary backgrounds, sound-slides to help salesmen sell, the place of puppetry in visual education, the possibilities of films, silent and sound, black and white and color, in such diverse subjects as the anatomy of the brain, historical and economic highlights of 80 yearj past, present achievements of the rural Consolidated School, heroic explorations in the Himalayas, colorful life in the foreign section of a great American city, lessons in social ethics culled from the theatrical movie output, the fundamentals of American government, the workings of the Social Security Plan, and the detailed and intimate portrait of the whole State of Ohio afforded by the famous .Aughinbaugh series of 12 scenic-historical travelogues. Other subjects of lively interest authoritatively presented during the four teeming days were . . . the interaction of Books and Movies as a Librarian sees it . . . student-reading of "fan" magazines and its social and educational significance . . . activities of the Better Film Councils ... the complex role of film laboratories in improving educational film production . . . production of school-made movies from coast to coast . . . film distribution systems for city, county, state and nation . . . advantages of sound with films . . . extraordinary use of docu- mentary films in Europe compared with the United States . . . what the film means in CCC camps . . . and the tremendous activity of various Departments of the U. S. Government, (Concluded on page 307)
