We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
WHAT FILMS ARE AVAILABLE The pictures listed in this handbook have been selected by teachers and other representatives of the Board of Directors on the basis of their relation between the content of the film and the subject matter of the courses in the school curriculum. One reel and two reel sound films released through the theater were care- fully analyzed after their period of theatrical distribution, usually about one year. Those which had instructional value were selected and appraised, and then made available for educational use. Some feature films were selected by representatives of national curriculum organizations as having teaching value, and excerpts from these photoplays have been edited and reissued in shorter length suitable for use in a single classroom period. Teacher guides have been prepared for some of these films and are available in quantities to libraries at $2.00 per hundred copies. Individual teachers may obtain single copies without charge upon request. TO WHOM THEY ARE AVAILABLE Sixteen millimeter prints are licensed under a restricted agreement to ed- ucational film libraries maintained by state educational agencies, by county and city boards of education, and to individual schools for periods ranging from one to ten years. WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS? All film libraries to which films are licensed are required to sign an agreement that the films must be used only for bona fide educational purposes by schools and other approved education agencies, and under no circumstances on occasions when any admission is charged, either directly or indirectly. Under no circumstances may these films, or any parts thereof, be used in television programs. New contracts in effect between Teaching Film Custodians, Inc. and the producing companies now permit the use of short subjects and the Human Relations Films (which are indicated in the Index as sequences) in certain types of informal educational programs. Agencies maintaining courses of adult, health, industrial, religious and social education may arrange to have these subjects made available upon request. The licensing or utilization of excerpted versions of feature photoplays by such agencies or groups is not permissible. The producing companies make available all films distributed by Teach- ing Film Custodians as an educational service. This service must not be misused by exhibiting the films in entertainment programs or in any way contrary to the provisions of the License Agreement (See page 86). 4
