Page 322 The Educational Screen ^oo^ DeVRY [he modern miracle of Visual Education—given full leash by the speed-up demands of War—had its begin- nings in 1912 in a "suitcase projector" that was destined to take motion pictures out or the theater into the meeting places and classrooms of the world. For three decades Dr. Herman A. DeVry — the man who conceived the IDEA of PROJECTOR PORTABIL- ITY— made a succession of engineering contributions to the progress of Visual Education that won him a place with Thomas A. Edison and George Eastman on the Honor Roll of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. Today's mass produaion and fighter film-training pro- grams were presaged by his 1914 pioneering of a school library of 86 motion pictures on major subjects of the school curriculum—complete with teacher study guides. In 1925 he established the DeVry School of Visual Edu- cation, which developed into the National Conference on Visual Education—the largest organized force in the vis- ual field dedicated to the furthering and perfeaing of "learn-by-seeing" techniques. Also in 1925 he founded DeForest's Training, Inc., to teach Elearonics with the aid of motion pictures. Dr. DeVry would have been 67 years of age on No- vember 26th. For the company that bears his name, 1943 is the 30th anniversary of its founding. Over its plants flies the coveted Army-Navy "E" with Star—designating continued excellence in the production of motion picture sound equipment-—another "first" for DEVRY —-another tribute to the vision, determination and integrity of its founder—whose inherent modesty would disclaim the oft' heard tribute, "Father of Visual Education."
