Prof. W. H. Hartley
Teachers College, Columbia University
1. Thou shall not make of the motion picture machine a god of cogs and wheels, with soul of celluloid, to he howed down to and used to the exclusion of other worthy teaching devices.
2. Thou shall not use sound motion pictures when sound and motion are not essential to the concepts to he taught.
3. Sit not thy pupils down to a mess of visual hash totally unrelated to thy course of study, calling it visual instruction, thus profaning a good name and dragging educational ideals through the dust.
4. Tiiou shall not present to that mixture of innocent habes and potential and actual devils known as thy class, motion pictures which thou hast not carefully previewed and the use of which thou hast not carefully planned.
5. Leave not the fdm to tell its own story unaided by thee and thy maps, slides, still pictures and other aids. Prepare thou thy children for each showing and follow up with live, entluisiastic activities.
6. Be not taken in by the honeyed words, stirring music, flag-waving and other highly emotionalized aspects of the propaganda films which knock daily at thy classroom door. View all such material with the eye of the skeptic and teach thy children to do likewise. Ask always, "Is this material worthy of time and place in a public, tax-supported school?"
7. Blast not thy neighbor's eardrums nor cause his walls to vibrate from the loud and raucous noises emanating from an improperly tuned sound projector.
8. Thou shall never, never attempt to run a sound film on a silent machine. The renters will not hold thee guiltless for the ruination of film.
9. Covet not thy neighbor's time for the use of the projector, but avoid confusion by ordering thy films well in advance and posting thy schedule with the powers-that-be in the central office.
10. Fear not the sound projector, but make it serve thee. Experiment with it, trying new and better ways of teaching; at all times being guided by sound, common sense.
