September, 19)9 Page 263 Real Progress comes only through cooperative effort. The familiar common problems of visual instruction can not be solved by individual institutions, but together these institutions can accomplish a great deal. T The new cooperative organization of film users extends to the schools and colleges an invitation to membership ... An invitation to its privileges which include the right to purchase certain selected films for the first time; a cumula- tive catalog of only the good pictures; a regular news letter and a constant Information service on specific questions. We shall be glad to have you write us for complete information. Association of School Film Libraries, Inc. 9 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, N. Y. WARNING To .-ill Superinlcndenis: It has come to our attention that some unscrupulous persons arc offering for sale and Iiave sold to schools as new equipment stcoiid-hand or reconditioned motion picture projectors. To protect you and your schools from such misrepresenta- tion we are offering the following suggestions. Ascertain the factory nunil)ers on the projector you buy and send them to the manufacturer of the projector being offered to you for sale with the request that you be advised whether or not Ut? said projector is new or second-hand. Sometimes agents accept projectors in trade, and if they are unscrupulous enough to resell them as new they can quote prices on them that are far below the market prices of new equipment. It is advisable to be very cautious when buying (especially as "new") any projector of a different make than the one regularly sold hy the agent offering it. When an agent offers exceptional inducements in the way of free auxiliaries, bear in mind that there are standard prices for each make or projector, and if there is any deviation from that price, or gift of auxiliary equipment, the cost has to come from some one other than the manufacturer—be sure it isn't you. Our interest in the matter is the result of damage done to the films of the Exchange by unsatisfactory equipment, plus the fact that those meeting with such damage, or other projector troubles, become disheartened in their very laudable efforts to use the motion picture in their school work. If any cases of the nature noted come to your attention, please advise us, and if you have any doubts as to how to protect yourself, or your school, against such unethical prac- tices, we shall be glad to do what we can to help you.
