In Canada — Anglo Pholo, Ltd., Montreal that could well be used by any group desirous of explaining and understanding iuterfaith and intercultural matters. The meaning of Passover is simply told, as are the customs associated with its observance. The manual which accompanies the filmstrip gives some interesting suggestions for arts and crafts projects. As we viewed the story, we wondered why there were not more simple presentations such as this for the holidays and ceremonies of other groups. They should be encouraged. The Inchcape Rock (single strip, color; produced by Copp Clark Pulslishing Co. Ltd., 495 Wellington St. West, Toronto, Ont., Canada; $4.25.) Our producer friends in Canada are giving us some very good new material and this strip is one of a group designed to help teach poetry through the eye. In this instance Robert Southey's poem is illustrated, with the lines of the poem appearing with coordinated illustrative material. A second part of the filmstrip contains the pictures only, and can be used for choral and individual recitation. The resulting combination is good for poetry reading, for study of visual theme imagery, and for discussion of the poem and the ideas which inspired the poet. The producer suggests that the filmstrip be used, and a tape recording made of the choral reading of the poem by the pupils. The strip can be used in a number of ways, and is part of that newer approach to the use of filmstrips which we mentioned earher in this column. Your Child's Intelligence (single strip, color; with record; produced by National Education Association, 1201 16th St., N.W., Washington 6, D. C; $7, strip and record.) Everyone seems to be "intelligence conscious" today, and this strip has been planned to help explain to parents how teachers and educators set about interpreting intelligence tests. The material is presented in cartoon pictures and the narration includes a description of the many factors which must be considered in arriving at an over-all evaluation of the individual child's inteUigence. A good feature of the strip is the fact that it stresses the point that intelligence is composed of many abilities, and that an understanding of this will help both parents and teachers to assist the child to reach the full potential of his capabilities. The strip is intended for use at meetings of parents' associations, and is presented in a way to meet the needs of such meetings.
