The Educational screen (c1922-c1956])

i chemistry lab into another visual room as the demand for projection facilities exceeded capacity. In 1950-51, the high school used 400 motion pictures. In the first semester alone this year, more than 500 films were booked. Coordinator Van Tassel and Assistant Rynder are training both teachers and students to operate equipment. Mr. Rynder, as a part of instruction in electricity, teaches his boys to be projectionists. Thus the boys who do the projecting may be sent out from the regular shop. With this service as a part of shop training, the problem of getting projectionists released from class has been solved. Cooperation is a word Woodward High knows and practices. Teachers and coordinators work together to make the use of audio-visual materials really effective. The Electricity Shop, for example, did special wiring for the new projection room. Assistant Superintendent William Hallauer, in charge of buildings, did a commendable job in obtaining suitable shades, wire installations, and a beaded screen of the proper size. Assistant Superintendent Philo Dunsmore used his good offices in getting the supervisors and directors of instruction to think in terms of "supplementary textfilms" when planning courses of study. In selecting new elementary science textbooks, the supervisors and textbook committees chose textbooks with audio-visual bibliographies. What a wonderful guide this proved to be in the selection and purchase of films ! With the cooperation of everyone involved (and everyone at Woodward is involved!) and the constant enI iiuragement of Principal Duvendack, the foundation stones of a good visual aids program have. been laid at Woodward High and continuous progress is being made Inward a completely integrated plan for using audiovisual materials and equipment. THE CAMERA AS A SUPERVISORY TOOL (Continued from page 279) -cenes without interrupting classroom activities, however, flashbulbs are best. Photography makes an interesting hobby, and there is -o much information available that with very little experience anyone can get good results. I found that out! Some of the schools in our county purchase their own cameras and slide projectors and take their own pictures. This is to be encouraged because the principal is close to the work and can see opportunities for pictures that a supervisor, traveling over an area of 914 square miles, ran never see. But the traveling supervisor-with-a-camera I an create countywide awareness of good work in the -chools. As a county we have grown together in planning, organizing, and making the classroom a more attractive and interesting workroom for our children. All this has not been accomplished in a few weeks, and it is still just a beginning. At the end of two years, our collection of slides is large enough to group. The slide sets are being placed in our audio-visual education library and will be loaned to schools. They are meaningful to our children, teachers, and parents because they show our own work.
