The reader's right Send leHers »o EdSCREEN & AVGUIDE, 2000 Lincoln Pork W«st, Chicogo 14 Backs Up Issue Kditor: Congratulations for your pungent statement to the Misguided Scientists in the January issue of Ed. Screen. I suspect we need more of this for a better sense of direction. ' Williiiiii Fulton Assoc. Prof, of Education The University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma In Hearty Agreement Editor: I have just read your editorial in the January issue of EDUC.ATION.AL .SCREEN. I heartily endorse your views about tlie "misguided scientists." This confusion between materials produced for entertainment and those produced for education apparently is common in all of the mass media. L. Keith Tyler, Director Institute for Education by Radio-Television 1 he Ohio State University Editorial Note We were slightly misguided ourselves in writing the January editorial titled "Misguided Scientists." This editorial was based upon an authoritative news storv date-lined Hollywood and pub COMPARISON PROVES... PUTS MORE LIGHT ON YOUR SCREEN! Compare the Transpaque side by side with any other projector on the market. Project the same picture size with each . . . with the same materials, opaque or transparent. You'll find the new Transpaque puts up to twice the liglU on the screen with opaque materials ... up to three times with transparencies. This means you can use the Transpaque from the front «^ or back of the room, and even for rear projection, without Jp f; ' ' pulling out lights or drawing shades. Selection of projection ■xmf' jl|ft^ lenses from 4" to 40" focal length permits you to use any screen at any distance. You can purchase the Transpaque complete for opaque, table, or overhead projection. Or, you can purcha.se this unit for one type of projection now and add equipment for other uses later. See it demonstrated in comparison with others and you'll be convinced that this is truly the aristocrat of visual communication projectors. Write us to arrange a demonstration for you. TRANSPAQUE OPAQUE PROJECTOR PROJECTION Optics PROJECTION OPTICS CO., INC. 330 Lyell Ave., Rochester 6, N. Y. lished in the November 17. New York Times. Since the publication of our editorial we have learned that the physics films are not to be produced by a Hollywood company. .\ contract has been signed for the production of these films by one of the oldest and largest educational film producers. .Apparently this happened between the time of the New S'ork Times story and the publication of our editorial. We are sorry for this confusion, but we sure are glad that these important films are to be produced by people who have jjroved they know how to make educational films. Puiil C. Heed Senator Likes Ed. Screen Editor: 1 am always interested to read through issues of your fine publication. 1 notetl with particular interest the helpful annual Blue Book of .Audio-Visual Materials in the December, 1957 i,ssue. Alexander Wiley Wisconsin Senator United States Senate Washington, D.C. Ad Interest Holdover Editor: Will you please supply me with the address of the following firm if it is still in operation? The American Classical League Service. We wish to order materials advertised by you in 1952. Teresa L. Oden. Coordinator Audio-Visual Kducation Laurel City Scliools Laurel, Miss. s.o.s. Editor: May I add a plaintive footnote to Stan Mcintosh's letter in the February, I9,")8 issue of Ed. Screen, page 60, in whidi he credits "Destiny. cleKieffer, antl an able .Archives Committee" for finding his lost copy of -Anna V. Dorris' Book? Remember t h e original "reader's right" item (June, 1957, page 271) in which I mentioned my copy of Dorris as being one of my earliest contacts with the field and a constantly ready reference? It was too ready ... I lent it to someone . . . and now MV CX)I'Y IS MISSING! Can you put dcKictfer and the Archives Committee on the trail? (I presume you have little influence with Destiny?) Honest, the book IS lost . . . and I hope whoever has it will see this letter. Henry C. Runrk. jr.
