THE FUTURE OF EDUCATIONAL FILMS 241
The Neighborhood Motion Picture Service, Inc.
A most promising enterprise is a ready-made correlated film service, including projectors and operators as well as films, known as the Neighborhood Motion Picture Service, now being worked out in Los Angeles, Xew York and New Jersey. F. S. Wythe, producer of the series of Americanization films, "Citizens in the Making, 1 ' after years of contact with the school situation became convinced that the schools were holding back from visual education methods primarily because it seemed to involve so many difficulties — large sums of money, film supply, correlation with courses of study, purchase and installation of motion picture projectors, operation and repair of the machines, questions of storage and fire hazard, and the prompt and safe distribution of these materials.
The thing to do, in his mind, was not merely to bombard the schools with pamphlets and magazine articles, and speeches at educational conventions, but to smooth out for them the difficulties mentioned above, and construct a service that would combine all the elements above with the difficulties left out, so that it could be offered to schools in such a way, that about all the superintendent would have to do would be to sign on the dotted line and let the outside organization shoulder the details.
The booklet issued by the Neighborhood Motion Picture Service states :
The films supplied are Film Lesson courses, 18 one reel lessons in each course, or enough for bi-weekly lessons throughout the full school year.
