front of you like this. (See illustrations.) The photographs arc of such a kind that we can show a big colored picture of you with your diorama right on the screen in the auditorium. You may prepare a talk about your subject and present it to the audience while the picture is on the screen. Vou may use your written compositions for your speech, or you may tell more about it than you have written, if you wish. Now the sooner all the dioramas are finished, the sooner we can get a complete set of the pictures and put on our auditorium progiam."

During his twelve years as an instructor in the Junior Division of the Milwaukee Country Day School (a private college-preparatory school for boys) , Mr. Boesel has carried the by-products of his hobby, photography, into the school's academic and extra-curricular program.
Taking, making, and showing pictures, whether still or in motion, silent or sound, colored or black and white, he has experimented with all of them in his wish to enrich and make more elfcrtivc the conventional teaching pro(cdures.
His school was one of the first in Wisconsin to be submitted to the early trials and tril)ulations of trying to get more than a handful of the kind of fducational sound films which could be correlated effectively witli specific content areas in the various courses of studv in the elementary grades.
The additional educational and motivating outcomes gained are readily discerned. If you are not an amateur photographer, you may have to go to the trouble of locating some outside source for

accomplishing the little photographic work in\ol\cd. The most pleasant solution to this problem is to find an older student, a parent of one of the pupils, or perhaps a photo-minded faculty member who has a camera in which the Kodachrome K135 si/cd film can be used. The manufacturer dc\elops ami processes this film and the pictiucs are returned mounted in cardboard 2" X 2" slides ready for projection. The film cost is about fifteen cents per slide if all the pictures on a roll are usable.
But now, what of the cduca tional outcomes? For third graders to be able to see, to examine, and to lend tangible evidence to those subjects they study is of significant worth. Too often we glibly conveise about Eskimos, truck farming, shipping and air travel, never realizing that we speak in terms of concepts never clearly ex})cricnccd or visualized by our young children. Here is a means of vital, graphic visualization— a means which necessitates active participation by the child at every step of the way. The means— the diorama— try it and see.
By extending the use of diora mas in the ways herein expressed,] it will be fountl that the rathci large amoiuit of time and thoiighi rajuired of you and your pupil to completely develop this project is well rej)aid by the variety o\ ways its fits in with the basic teaching and training you aspire to give yom pupils no matter what devices you use.
