Euj± am Visual Education on World Federation Program at Montreal Dr. John E. Dugan, Chairman of the Section on Visual Education of the World Federation of Education Associations, announces that visual education is being included in plans which are under way for the Con- ference of the World Federation of Education Associa- tions to be held at Montreal, Canada, July 8th, 9th and 10th, 1942. Delegates are expected from various coun- tries of this hemisphere and from other nations which can send representatives at this time. The program of the Section on Visual Education will be concerned with the role of visual education in the present crisis, and will pay particular attention to the ways in which visual education can contribute to a better understanding and closer relationship between the nations of this hemisphere. Machine Shop Films Do Good Teaching Job The training division of the Sperry Gyroscope Com- pany has been using the U. S. Office of Education Machine Shop Films, distributed by Castle Films, and conducted a little experiment recently with a two-hour class of ten girls to test the effectiveness of films on '"The Micrometer" and "The Vernier." None of the girls had ever used a micrometer, and some had never seen one. The films carried practically the entire bur- den of instruction- After viewing the Micrometer film and hearing a three-minute oral explanation by the instructor on "feel", each girl made ten measurements on calibrated bars to l/IOOO inch. Of the 100 readings thus made, 77^0 were correct to .001 inch, 8% were wrong, due to misreading of a .025 inch division, and 15^^ were true errors. After viewing the Vernier film and hear- ing a six-minute oral elaboration by the instructor on the correct holding of the micrometer, each girl made ten additional measurements to 1/10,000 inch. Of these readings, 35% were correct to an accuracy of .0001 inch. 547o to .0002 inch, 5% were wrong due to mis- reading of a .005 inch division, and 41% were true er- rors. (Pciin.
