With time-saving, life -saving movies. . . . outgrowth of IE!® (ol©Ik9(§ pioneer Teaching Films. .... the Army and Navy are giving millions the know how of war historical note — Back in 1923, having perfected "safety" film — making classroom projection practical— Kodak made available 16-mm. movie cameras and projectors . . . and shortly afterwards pioneered a program of teaching films for schools. Put yourself in the boots of one of these young men. You've been accepted for the Army or Navy. W hat do you know about this war of 2,000horsepower aircraft motors . . . Bazookas . . . submarine detectors? Our Army and Navy Commands realize this lack of experience. They know that you may go up against battle-wise troops or ship crews or flyers. They have done the worrying for you. They will turn you out a better man more competent in the use of your weapons, abler to take care of yourself — than any "trainee" who ever went before you.

(Kodak is a major supplier of film for these pictures— one big reason civilians are not getting all the film they want. ) You'll see battle, in these training movies. You'll hear it— to make your new life and work "second nature" under all conditions. You'll be hardened . . . ready to "dish it out and take it". . . up to 40% sooner because of Training Films. xt * * After this war is won, you— and millions like you who have learned so much, so easily, through training films— will want your children to learn the Arts of Peace this way. Teaching through motion pictures and slide film— steadily growing in importance during the twenty years since Kodak made its first teaching films available—will really come into its own . . .
