?age 298 The Educational Screen The Post-War World Here—In Hand Made Lantern Slides By ANN GALE WE MUST be ready for peace when it comes. Much of the planning for the post-war world will be done by inter- national councils. However, there will be changed conditions here which we must recognize. The following six slides form an introduction to domestic post-war problems for junior high school or high school social science classes. They may be used in art classes to present the general ideas and then the students could work out their own thoughts on the subject. 1.) There will be millions of people to be fed and clothed both in occupied countries and in the United Nations. We can not help these people unless some form of rationing continues. 2.) Disease continues when the war ceases, especially in the Roosevelt High School, Chicago war ravaged countries. Our doctors and medical supplies will be needed abroad. We must keep well and continue to use home nursing when there is illness. 3.) Our factories during the change-over from war to peace production will cause much unemployment. 4.) Returning soldiers should find jobs in industry or man- agement. 5.) Because we may need an international police force for years, many soldiers will have to remain on foreign soil. 6.) We must prepare to enlarge our airports for the great expansion in air transport which is sure to come. Some arrangements for international air bases will have to be made. The sim- plest type of h an d- made slide is made by drawing or tracing on finely fin- ished etched glass with ordinary medium lead pencil. Col- or, by spe- cial crayons or inks, en- hances the slides great- ly. Fine ef- fects are ob- tained by blending 7C' i t h cray- ons. About one - third inch margin should be left all around the slide. The slide is read- ily cleaned zvith soap or washing powder to receive a new pic- ture. y^ I I
