Reel and Slide (Mar-Dec 1918)

^Tt "THERE never was and probably ^ never will be any other means of U 1 1 teaching so effective as the motion picture. The invention of the movable S^jl type printing press in the 15th century gave a wonderful impetus to ^1 1 learning, but it was limited to those who could read, or were willing to learn how. But the motion picture of the 20th century opens greater opportunities , for it speaks a universal language, understood alike by the young and old, by the illiterate as well as the learned of every tongue. It will be a splendid day for our educational system when the great value of this new medium is more widely understood." c. francis jenkins Lyne S.
