FOREWORD 'e take pleasure in introducing to you, a listing of 52 Ufa Educational Talking Motion Pictures and their accompanying synopses. These pictures have been arranged, edited and synchronized by recognized heads of public schools, chosen from various educational centers of the United States, also by representative university staff men and other educators of national and international reputation. They have also been arranged to meet and coincide with the curriculum requirements of elementary and advanced school work and are also designed to serve as an indispensable aid to the teacher, being an actual concrete demonstration of subject matter not being released with any idea that they might, at any time, dispense with the personality of the teacher in the classroom. Ufa Films, Inc., the producers of these pictures, have long been recognized by educators as crusaders in visual-education and their films have stood unchallenged as the most efficient and helpful aid in classroom demonstration.
