338 EDUCATIONAL CINEMATOGRAPHY
3rd Commission. — The Cinema and Technical and Professional Life.
The Congress insists on the importance of producing films for guidance in the choice of professions, especially professions for women, as well as for training in different trades, including apprenticeship and for teaching a new trade to unemployed people.
In films of this kind, sub-titles must be short and clear and sound should be included when necessary to give the exact demonstration of the sounds and noises which are produced in the course of the work.
In the composition of text-books, account must be taken of the aid offered by the motion picture; they must recall by means of illustrations the most important points contained in the films to be used in teaching.
The Congress points out the importance of centralizing the very complex work of orientation, teaching, professional training, in its connection with the cinema, to insure the greatest economy in the production of films and their distribution ; also in order to keep uniform characteristic's, although differing according to necessity in the use of films in technical teaching. Central organizations of this kind could find in the I. I. E. C. the organizing centre for coordination and for practical information on everything taking place in the different nations ; the I. I. C. E. could also give information on existing production, on the character of same and documentation on experiments and production made.
Thinks it necessary that technical and professional films should be extended to the prevention of accidents and that special short films might be widely used for the protection of workpeople and of the general public as far as accidents of the road, in the mountains, and at sea and first aid are concerned. These films should also be shown in public halls.
Thinks it might also be useful that the prevention of accidents should complete the technical and professional illustration in order to point out to which dangers one is exposed in a particular handicraft and in which way one may avoid the consequence of accidents.
Films on prevention of industrial accidents may be used for vocational guidance inasmuch as the demonstration of the disadvantages and dangers of a trade may supplement the information in direct connection with the psycho-technical examination of the candidates to the various trades.
For the purpose above set forth the Congress hopes that the Commission appointed by the I. I. E. C. and by the B. I. T. may devote every effort to indicate a practical programme for the production and the utilization of films concerning the prevention of accidents.
4th Commission. — The Cinema and Agricultural Life.
1) Exodus from the country : The Congress is of the opinion that the film may largely contribute towards preventing the exodus from the country by showing how the condition of country life may improve from the point of view of health and hygiene, and by showing that country amusements are much healthier than city amusements, and that family life in the country is much more intimate.
