The general trend in the education field seems to be to use visual as supplementary and auxiliary material in lessons that have been studied and digested wherever possible and when appropriate visual material is available. Practically all branches of education can be now supplied with worthwhile material provided the person in charge will make the effort to compile it Some of the material must be purchased but a satisfactory amount may be borrowed for mere transportation charges. Large school systems have developed the collective plan where visual material may be borrowed free of charge.
Outside the strictly educational field, films are finding their place as studies of methods of manufacture, as means of comparison and of stabilization. Large factories are reaping a definite benefit from films as an advertising medium.
Private enterprises have come to use films as a means of preserving material they wish to use for future reference and show. Equipment at one time was complicated and quite expensive but since the use has become more general, machines have been
simplified and competition has reduced the cost to a minimum.

Many of the educational visual materials are entertaining as well as educational and people are more and more coming to realize the true value of visiting far off places through the medium of the screen.
Art museums and other places of public entertainment connected with the educational field are using visual aids very extensively in the furthering of their aims.

During the short life of the moving picture and film industry, the business has grown to such an extent that it has now some part in practically all phases of life, both business and amusement. Recent years have brought us sixteen millimeter films, stereoscopic films, colour, films talking pictures, movies by radio, animated drawings, and the latest films in three dimensions are now to be perfected.
It is very probable that, in a short period of time, daylight pictures will have been perfected so that daylight '* text-books " may be used in every class room with results which are at present unheard of.
