NAME. iNsnnmoN ADDRESS CITY ZONE. . .STATE. Cover: "Picture Window" "I'he cover photo this month was lifted from an article by Marion Strauss on page 470 that describes the wonderful work the Volunteer Film .Association in St. Louis is doing for homebound pupils. The VFA began as a coiniminity organization but its value and importance were recognized by the St. Louis Educational System and the two now work in close harmony to bring class-room instruction to homebound students. It is anotlier splendid example of tlic strides .\udio-Visuals are making in improving .American education. Chicago's A-V Story No one is more qualified to present Chicago's own Audio-Visual story than James P. Fitzwater, Director of Visual Education of the Chicago Public Schools. He tells it here in an article on pages 468-69. The article describes a 55-min. presentation that has been termed by the city's visual experts, an "extravaganza" on the educational use of visual materials. The program requires the use of three 6x8-ft. screens set in a curve similar to a modified cinemascope arrangement so that three pictures may be projected simultaneously. Presentations of the program have been given for the teachers in the Americanization program in the Chicago schools and various PT.A groups in the city. The article is packed with material for study and possible emulation. In Defense of Education The National Defense Education .Act of 1958 that is on the way to becoming law, is discussed in Paul Reed's editorial on page 462. This will be of vital interest to anyone involved in the use of audio-visuals in education; those in the teaching profession as well as industry. Paul Reed has done a nice job of boiling this law down to essentials so it will be comprehensible reading for e\eryone. Editorial Staff Change With this September issue of Educational SCREEN, 1 say goodbye to all those in the .A-V Educational field and turn my desk and its duties over to another. .Miss Enid (Micky) Stearn will take my place here, while I go on to broaden iny scope in the business end of audio-visual activities, rather than the educational. I have enjoyed this connection and all its associations and many of the friends I have made I expect to see again at future A-V Conventions. I hope that all of you who have been so kind and helpful and cooperative with me, will tender the same courtesies to my successor for I am sure she will do her level best to merit it; she comes well qualified to take over this work. So I will not really say goodbye, just hasta la vista. May we meet again. GM EDUCATIONAL SCREEN & AVGUIDE EDITORIAL STAFF PAUL C. REED, Editor. GAIL MARTIN, Managing Editor. WILLIAM S.
