The history of education has always been the his- tory of its tools. Today educators are discovering that feature programs, when carefully selected from the outstanding productions of the motion picture world, give the students rich, human background material against which their regular courses of study take on added meaning.

Thousands of schools from coast to coast are show- ing 16 mm feature-length programs in the school auditorium, followed by carefully planned class- room discussion, as a regular phase of the school curriculum.
