Children Acquire Seventy-Five Per
Cent of Their Education
Through Their Eyes
It has long been known that children acquire more knowledge through their eyes than by means of all their other senses. As a result of this knowledge, educators and scientists have been making exhaustive experiments whereby visual instruction could be given to children in public schools at a nominal cost. They realized that it was impossible to take the children out to the factories, to the farms and into other countries to actually see and learn about the various industries of our own and other nations. They also realized that it is absolutely impossible to bring all of these into the school room, except through pictures. This was done. Our school books were filled with pictures, and lantern slides were provided so that pictures could be thrown on the screen even in natural colors.
These methods and appliances were good, but still they did not create interest, or arouse the enthusiasm of the teacher or pupil. They were all looking for and demanding something more real, something that had in it the touch of real life, real action. They wanted to see the factory wheels turning, the raw material being mined and passing through its various processes of manufacture until it came out a finished product. They wanted to see while these processes of transformation were taking place. They wanted to see the difficult and costly experiments being made by our greatest scientists. They wanted to see with their own eyes, by means of the X-Ray and the powerful microscope, the living blood flowing through the arteries and veins and through the capillaries of the lungs to be purified. They wanted to see the heart perform its function, the stomach digest its food. They wanted to see the experiments with liquid air, with a temperature 200 degrees below zero.
