That teachers should organise cinematographic sessions in after school organisations and should be indemnified for this purpose in the same way as those who participate in courses of agriculture or family courses.
XII Commission (organisation of afterwork).
The XII Commission, considering that the education of the workers should be left as much as possible to the workers' organisations, recommends :
1) That cinematographic centres come to an agreement with these organisations for the preparation of public cinematographic projections, which are both instructive and entertaining.
2) That the municipal powers place their halls at the disposal of organisers of cinematographic entertainments, and that the municipal authorities should not permit the opening of public cinema halls except on condition that they be
placed gratutitously at the disposal of the organisers of the educational cinema for working people.
3) That the State should favour the projections of educational films by freeing the directors from the fiscal dues in a proportion corresponding to the meterage of educational film actually projected.
4) That a close connection should b<? established between the regional and central cinetecas and the National Committee and local committees for after school training.

When the leading position of Sweden among Scandinavian countries and probably among all the countries of Europe is remembered with reference to cultural films the opinion of Mr Per : Kviberg will doubtless be considered quite correct.
According to Mr Gustav Berg himself this position could not have been attained had it not been for the great interest shown by the Svensk Filminidustri (Svenska) and the sacrifices it made in order to attain its goal.
On July I the Department of Cultural Films started on its second year of activity. Ten years ago Sweden took the initiative with a group of 500 different subjects, accurately selected and composed in accordance with rigorous pedagogical principles for school use. A new catalogue has recently been published, which comprises about 2500 subjects, over a thousand of which have been made from Swedish negatives. The
