State Supervisor, Bureau of Teaching Materials, State Department of Education, Richmond. Virginia (On leave). I+self, namely, the changes that take place in the m'nds and hearts of men. The task before us Is to develop the world citizen, capable of living in peace and happiness at home and abroad. That is the great challenge which Audio-Visual Aids and every other educational service must meet. De BERNARDIS IN the past teaching has been more of a procession than a profession. However, now that teachers are beginning to receive a professional salary, we can expect to see a more professional teaching job. Professional teaching, of course, demands professional tools and equipment. These should include laboratories instead of reciting rooms. Instead of relying only on textbooks, we shall use models, mock-ups, motion pictures, films, filmstrips, slides, photographs, exhibits, recordings, raoio, posters, charts, graphs, and the like. Professional teaching will necessitate professional training. This will eventually make a marked change in our teachers colleges. We shall have to invent new ways of in-service teacher education. New teaching tools will make our job more interesting, more effective, more rewarding. Certainly it isn't very exciting to be teaching twentieth-century children with nineteenth-century tools. One thing more: Progress in the next twenty five years will depend on the Educational Screen just as it has depended on it for the past twenty five years. The future looks very inviting.
