up to date studios, fully equipped with all the latest machinery and contrivances.
The initiative of the Svenska in the ducational field has been steadily developing, and the day may not be far off when, with the financial aid of our government our schools will be in a position to make still wider and more profitable use of the best educational films. The section of school films is often visited by study missions, and requests for information are received from all parts of the world and are answered as effi
ciently and promptly as possible by the Educational Department. Collaboration with the L. U. C. E. in Italy, with Japan and other countries has also been started.
The chief of the section of the school film, Mr Gustav Berg, a former film censor, is firmly convinced that the Rome institution created by the League of Nations, will increasingly develop its activities in the interest of the development of the school film and the general culture of the whole civilised world.

LEGISLATIVE MEASURES
From the Spanish press we quote a news item of the greatest interest for our readers and for the I. E. C. as it illustrates the sentiments and spirit of the new government of the republic with reference to matters of education and instruction. The « Gazeta » publishes a contest for the purpose of providing as many national schools as possible with projecting apparatus, and
for creating an cineteca, indispensable for this form of culture.
The first apparatus will be destined for rural schools. The I. E. C. is pleased to draw attention to the this important step on the part of the Spanish government which is another testimony to the importance attributed by all governments to the cinema as a fundamental factor of education and culture.
As announced elsewhere, the December number of our Review will be exclusively devoted to the Cinema Conference held by the " International Council of Women at the I. E. C. I. Consequently the enquiry instituted by the I. E. C. I. on the subject of " War Films and Young People " has been held over until the January number so that it may continue without interruption.
