High appreciation of the Scholastic Authorities of Uruguay for the Review of the I. E. C. F.
Our Institute has recently received through the Uruguayan Minister in Rome a communication which fills us with the satisfaction arising from a sense of duty done and of serving a good cause. This communication runs as follows:
" ...We have the honour to inform you thui ihe competent national auihoiities, consulted as to the lalue of the " International Revieir of Educational Cinematography ,, have expressed the opinion that, by reason of Us contents, this important publication should enjoy the widest possible circulation in the interests of the spiritual ideals and technical requirements of the teaching profession. Accordingly, the National Council of Elementary Education and Teachers Training Colleges has represented to the Ministry of Education the undoubted advantages of the Council's subscribing for 35 copies of the Review to be divided between the technical services concerned. In response to this request the Minister of Education has decided to take nut 35 subscriptions to the Spanisti edition of the Revdew ".
We consider the publication of this communication at the same time opportune and a duty.
It is a duty to express our thanks to the great and intellectually wide-awake people of Uruguay and to make known this appreciation of our disinterested efforts in distant countries. When we receive, as we constantly do, the congratulations of those who are entrusted with the education of the young or who are devoting their lives to the study of educational problems, our satisfaction is unbounded at seeing our intentions appreciated and our loyal devotion recognized.
The publication is opportune because, if we may speak frankly, we consider that moral support, congratulations and encouragement can and should be converted into some practical help like that of which the Government of Uruguay is now giving an example. It demands, of course, a sustained effort on the part of the Institute to produce every month, in five editions, a Review of more than 120 pages and to distribute thousands . of free copies to libraries and institutes which desire to receive cur publication, but cannot afford to subscribe.
Uruguay's example does not stand alone; other Governments have already furnished tangible proof of their interest in cur Review. In publishing the above communication, we hope that others will realise that an organ of propaganda like ours is not and does not set out to be a source of profit to the Institute, but aims at disseminating new ideas on education and at popularising a cause whose appeal is universal.
