EDUCATIONAL CINEMATOGRAPHY
Sport Film : Power and selection. Dangers that menace children (according to their age). First Aid ; relations between men ; beasts and plants. In cinema pictures of the animal kingdom showing the fight for existence, account will be taken of the fact that their natural value is superior to their ethical and aesthetic value.
The Vegetable Kingdom.
If it is not easy to convince all our pupils that a real life exists in the plant world in all its functions, the film (enlarged pictures) provides us with a magnificent means of rendering visible the movements of plants, which would otherwise be almost imperceptible.
Themes : the wonders of flowers, germination and growth (animated drawings) ; (potatoes, beans). Fecundation by means of the wind or insects (as first step towards explanation of sexual functions) ; morphological adaptations and conformation of organs containing the pollen.
