ROB ABLY no one can prove with mathematical precision the truth of the old Chinese proverb — "One picture is worth 10,000 words."
But ask students of DeForest's Training what they think of the value of instructive 1 6mm. motion picture films as an aid to learning radio and electronics at home — and you will likely find hearty accord with the old Chinese philosopher who paid such enthusiastic tribute to the worth of a picture.
It takes little imagination to realize the advantages of home visual training for a student. Instead of poring over a weighty text, he sets up a motion picture projector and there in the quiet of

his own room, sees radio circuits come to life. He sees electrons bounding around in various radio parts. He sees the action of radio waves traveling through the ether. He sees clearly and easily, how a radio antenna intercepts the waves from the radio broadcast station— and the paths taken by the incoming signal as it travels through the various parts of a simple radio circuit. And as he sees radio's "magic" made

easier to understand he begins to realize that movies are one of the most interesting, helpful instruction aids imaginable for the person anxious to know what makes a radio "tick."
He also begins to appreciate that here he gets something not even working on actual radio and electronics equipment provides. When working on a radio set, all he sees is the parts. But with the helo of these instructive movies, he actually sees the action going on inside some of these parts — so effectively — so interestingly.
For DeForest's men and women, therefore, the old saying, "Seeing is Believing" is transformed into "Seeing is Knowing." Numerous employers and authorities in the field have praised the value of these instructive films. As the president of one large electrical concern so well expresses it, "The fascinating motion pictures supplied with DeForest's Training bring out numerous points that are otherwise almost impossible to explain."
After using instructive movies for over a decade, DeForest's Training reveals that this visual training aid has four outstanding advantages:
First: It helps a student to master a
technical subject quicker. Second: It makes studying considerably easier. Third: It keeps the student interested in his training — an important consideration for the home-study student.
Fourth: It aids the student to understand important fundamentals and principals in a way he is not likely to forget.
DeForest's Training, Inc., is probably the first educational institution to incorporate into a home study plan, use of • Continued on Page }i%
