The EDUCATIONAL SCREEN St. Louis Meeting Off THE recent cancellation of the an- nual February meeting of School Administrators at St. Louis was disap- pointing, but reasons therefor were numerous, obvious and valid. Countless letters to Washington since September showed that the field anticipated the move. First, one wonders why decision was po.stponed to the eleventh hour! Second, it is understandable that the decision, once made, should be disclosed first to exhibitors concerned, but one wonders still why the telegram should close with ''Confidential meanwhile!" Why not with "Broadcast this immedi- ately" ? Did not such news merit instant and nation-wide announcement? Per- haps "military secrecy'" is contagious. Are educational proceedings enhanced by a like veil of secrecy? The St. Louis meeting, held or not, should rank about absolute zero among the present wor- ries of Hitler and Hirohito. The D V I will suffer seriously from the decision. Its session at St. Louis was vitally needed. These are seething times for visual education. Screens are working by thousands as never before, in cami)s. shops, schools, communities. Opportunity and responsibility yawn wide before the D V L War service has removed a host of its key people. It was the more essential that the "survivors" get together. Now the load upon our President and Secretary, heavy in this hectic year, becomes heavier. All must be done by mail and printed page. It can be so done only if the field cooper- ates more earnestly than ever before. From now till June—fully, studiously, enthusiastically— ansiver your D V I mail. N. L. G.
