lines on the chalkboard. One appears longer than the other although both are of the same length. Jiminy explains that we do not always see things as they really are. The eyes of some animals are quite different from the human eye. The eagle, for example, is able to see things at great distances. The frog is able to see only those things in his immediate surroundings and even then only when they move. The bee has about 12,000 eyes and thus sees many images at a time. The human eye is depicted as a much more efficient organ of sight than other animals' eyes. The film is concluded as Jiminy Cricket suggests certain things which should be done to help conserve eyesight. Appraisal You and Your Eyes will do much to help intermediate grade youngsters understand the structure and function of the human eye. The film is well organized and the cartoon characters help immensely to illustrate the points covered. Some of the concepts pre sented are quite advanced; the excellent use of visuals, however, makes them easily understood. The film will be most useful at the intermediate grade level, but primary grade children will enjoy and get much from the film. It could also be profitably used as a review for junior high students. The technical quality of the film is excellent, further contributing to the value of You and Your Eyes as a teaching aid. —Donald L.
