— 528 — The moral value of the teacher's word and all its effectiveness is insisted on in 1790 answers. Children, according to these replies, have the need, apart from seeing luminous visions of their subject-matter, of feeling themselves surrounded with affection and care, and it is only the master who can give them these things, for he is their guide, in whose word things become real and alive. The teachers, even more definitely than the scholars, denied the possibility of the cinema taking the place of the master and the text-book. Those who showed themselves by a great majority favourable to the film as an auxiliary instrument for teaching pointed out the cinema's advantages in teaching history, science and geography. They stated that the difficulties surrounding the whole question depend especially on an improper and unsuitable use of the film in scholastic programmes. The world is continually renewing itself, and men's mentalities ought to be renewed at the same time. If the screen is recognized as one of the most valuable auxiliary means for teaching, the scholastic programmes cannot remain without modification or be altered only within the limits that must be considered as behind the times. There is a clear agreement in this field of opinion between the teachers and their scholars.
