Audio-Visual Materials Consultation Bureau DETROIT'S Wayne University recently announced the establishment of an .'\uclio-Visnal Materials Consultation Hureau. This new unit of the Colleg'e of Education ofifers various types of consultative assistance to producers and tisers of instructional materials. Film and record i)roducers can secure such services as curriculum studies indicating school needs, try-out materials in "roujjh-cut" or finished form, script criticism, and market analyses. To schools and orrjanizational groups, the Bureau offers assistance in the selection and use of materials and equipnient. and in the orji^anization of an audiovisual prog-ram. The full facilities and staff of the University as well as the faculties and students of its cooperating laboratory schools provide opportunity for broad services of this type. In a large measure, the Bureau staff acts as a collaljorating and channelling agent. Market analyses are worked out in conjunction with the School of Business Administration. College of Education faculty assist in the examination of scripts and prepare curriculum surveys. An example of the cooperative nature of the service is presented in a project now being carried through for a producer of children's records. Scripts which have l)een submitted are being recorded imder direction of the staff of the Department of Speech. These recordings will then be tried out in classrooms in the Detroit area, which offers rural school situations as well as those of a large city system. Rec(immendations on the basis of these try-outs will then be prepared by the Bureau staff. Dr. Arthur Stenius, previously in charge of the audio-visual program in the Detroit I'ublic Schools, has been placed in charge of the Bureau. He recently rettirned to Detroit after a year's leave of absence spent as Educational Director of Teaching Films, Inc. A JSote from a Reader "\ statement in the first paragraph of Mr. Mulligan's February article in Eihcational Screen {Sound Projectors for the Classroom) gives the impression that the June, 1946 ".ABCs" Department found the field largely in favor of lightweight equipnient. 80% of those replying demanded sufficient volume for auditorium projection in such a projector; 50% preferred a weight of 25-50 pounds ; 30% a weight of 50-75 pounds ; and only 20% wanted a projector weighing 25 pounds or less. Those answering were in favor two-to-one of two-case outfits over one-case outfits. I was disappointed with these results at the time, but they were reported in the Screen as indicated, and, in the interests of veracity, I do not like to see them misconstrued." — R. E.
