WAR AND EDUCATION In the midst of war this is an attempt to appraise education as it has been, is, and might be—to explain how the abstractions "war" and "education," so much in people's minds, cover a multitude of sins. Evidence is presented that our education leaves us without understanding and without emotional control. Without our present systems of education would it be possible to have our present systems of wars? "Extremely interestinjc.

Boston s.vj± anc Adult Education with Films at Boston University There are a number of interesting uses made of the fihns from the hbrary of the Division of Teaching Aids, Boston University, one of the largest educational film libraries in the country. Last year films were distrib- uted to thirty different states and were used by many types of educational institutions and groups, churches, industrial companies, clubs and organizations of all kinds. The Division of Teaching Aids has an advisory service which arranged special educational film pro- grams. Recognizing the potential possibilities of using the educational filin for popular adult education, Boston University established this year "A University of the Screen," a series of weekly film programs. The first course, consisting of six meetings beginning February 3rd, emphasized the use of films related to the-War and to Inter-American affairs. These programs provided a previewing opportunity for leaders interested in the use of War Information films before their own organiza- tions. Series Two, extending from March 17th to May 5th, was concerned with general popular adult educa- tion and presented films chosen from many subject matter areas. Individual admission tickets for the series of eight meetings was $2.00 for individual enrollment, or $5.00 for a family enrollment.

SMPE Sessions Feature Industry's War Contributions Descriptions of how the motion picture art and in- dustry are aiding the armed services and the war effort were highlights of the 53rd Semi-Annual Convention of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York City, "May 4, 5 and 6, in conjunction with the National Board Meeting of the Motion Picture Theatre Owners of America. Army and Navy representatives set the war stage with the presentation of papers on the industry's role in war training and combat films. A majority of the 30 technical papers scheduled for delivery during the six sessions were devoted to military and naval subjects. On the opening day Naval officers described the use of motion pictures in the Naval war program, with Lt. Williain Exton, Jr., of the Navy's Bureau of Naviga- tion, discussing the many "Developments in the Use of Motion Pictures by the Navy," and members of the Navy's Training Section explaining the "Production of Training Films by the U. S. Navy." The SMPE members convened at the Museum of Modern Art Film Library Tuesday evening for an illus- trated discussion on "The Work of the Film Library in War Time" by Curator Iris Barry. Wednesday's sessions featured varied technical papers, with accent on a new method of preserving valu- able and historic films in the Library of Cosgress.
