From the Department, '■'■From Hollywood", edited by Marguerite Orndorff "This Department will be written from a distinctly optimistic standp(5int, treating certain aspects of commercial production methods which seem significant of real progress. . . . .Adverse criticism of the movies can be found anywliere. ... It is worth while to point out also the signs which promise better things, the possibilities of the future rather than the serious shortcomings of the present and the past." The Staff Speaks As It Pleases THE "Silver Jubilee" is a great occasion. I know thai hundreds of others interested in the visual field are joined in their feelings of gratitude for what you have contributed to education in these first twenty five years of Educotisnal Screen. For the last seventeen of those twenty five years I have been a regular cover-to-cover reader (ads and all) and from the first issue I read, I have kept every one, bound and guarded jealously. I pay tribute to Educational Screen as my most respected instructor in this field. It's no wonder that I feel so proud of my closer associations with the Screen during the past several months. ^^^p I Have in my files Volume I, Number I, of the Educational Screen. One comparative look at the January issue of 1922 and this twenty fifth anniversary issue of January, 1947, tells a story of solid growth in the audiovisual field over a quarter of a century which is indeed gratifying. I see ahead similar substantial progress in the next quarter of a century. The Educational Screen's contribution to progress in visualized teaching in America has been great. It is destined to be even greater in the years which lie ahead. McCLUSKY THE effect of the use of audio-visual instructional ■ materials upon the schools of the nation is like that of a two-edged sword . . . clearing the way toward more concrete perceptual experiences for our students on the one hand . . . and for us, as teachers, leveling the verbalism of conservative instruction to provide new vistas of curricular reform. SCHREIBER STARTING with minimum resources but maximum ^ idealism Educational Screen has established and maintained itself as a leader in the visual education field for twenty five years. The integrity and success of that record is due to the pioneering and persevering leadership of its founder-editor and those inspired to work with him in building up both the magazine and the field it serves. American education owes much to those efforts and the inspiration which made them successful. Previewing the future, as a projection of the present in the light of the past. Educational Screen on its Silver Jubilee has every reason to look forward to even wider and more brilliant service and success. DUGAN I am delighted to be a member of the editorial staff ' of Educational Screen when it celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. It is the one magazine that stuck with the visual field through its most trying periods. It has been a bulwark in the field and has served to tie together the many loose ends and different factions existing in this field. Congratulations on the splendid job you have done! After twenty five years Educational Screen is still the outstanding journal in the audio-visual field of education. GOODMAN (Contviiird on itcxi /i(ii/r)
