242 MOTION PICTURES FOR INSTRUCTION The Neighborhood Motion Picture Service, Inc., is not engaged in the occasional rental of special subjects, but confines itself to film courses of correlated lessons. Film Lesson courses are: Important: thereby justifying their inclusion in any course of study adapted to motion picture presentations; thereby justifying the use of motion pictures as against any other supplemental aid. Technically adequate: produced under the direction of competent educators by competent motion picture experts for exclusive school use. A critical examination of the films supplied in these schedules bears out all the claims made above. In fact most of these films are included in the film libraries given in Chapter II of this book. The Neighborhood Motion Picture Service has added to this film schedule, through arrangement with a prominent motion picture projector manufacturer, the use of a projector and operator to schools having no machine equipment, so that every two weeks each school has delivered to it three educational films, a projector and an operator. For schools already equipped there is a liberal bi-wTeekly film service in which the distribution and collection is taken care of by the service. Thus far the usual plan is for an organizer to get the county superintendent of schools to call a meeting of the principals interested in his county or district and have the plan presented to the group so that as many schools as possible may agree to operate around a common center, usually the county seat. The more schools sign up under the same plan, the less the cost to each school.
