films. They publish analytical catalogues of no negligible volume, admirably compiled, which are unfortunately all too rarely consulted .
Nor would it be fair for me not to make special mention of the individuals who have worked so earnestly and strenuously to meet the needs of modern teaching : M. Jean Benoit-Levy and M. Jean Painleve, to mention only two names from among the most able and the most conscientious.
M. Jean Benoit-Levy, the Pasteur film producer, is reponsible, together with Dr. Devraigne, for the production of the marvellous film in the cause of eugenics and infant welfare : La Future Maman (Mothers to be), which met with such unanimous praise in France and abroad. His programme, of some considerable range and begun in obscurity, is being pursued at the present time in the full blaze of a success which promises well.
From the long list of educational films which M. Benoit-Levy has given to France, let us call attention to the following :
Agricultural : Sericulture, Mulberry growing, The Riddance of Field-mice (film by M. Regnier, Director of the Rouen Entomological Station) ; Urgent Farm Work (Film by Dr. G. Moussu, Professor at the Veterinary College of Alfort); The Egg Cycle (by M. A. Chapellier, Director of the Station des Vertebres, at the Institute of Agronomic Research) , and Good and Bad Dairymen (under the direction of the Office Agricole de Seine-et-Oise). The list of Medical Films starts with The Technique of Post-Mortems, in accordance with the Roussy and Ameuille method, as practiced by Dr. Roger Leroux ; Obstetric Operations (under the scientific direction of the Baudelocque Clinic, of the French Faculty of Medicine) ; Tuberculosis, which is at once a medical and a social propaganda film. « Once upon a time there were three Friends » a film for social welfare purposes, The Source, Motherhood, etc.
Attention should also be called to the highly curious and striking productions of the young French scholar, M. Jean Painleve, who is as devoted to science as his father, and who aims at popularizing six films of some 300 metres each. These films bear the titles : Sea-Urchins-, Hyas et Stenorinques ; Daphnia, the Octopus and The Hermit Crab.
