See and hear : the journal on audio-visual learning (1945)

■¥■ At February's end, the DAVI meetings in Atlantic City (to be re- ported in detail later) were in the news; here are a few other notes re- ported on materials and events: Libraries Show to 1,701,117 ♦ Circulation of 36,222 films (16mm) for showings to 1,701,117 persons in one month was the lending service record of public libraries in the United States reported by the Ameri- can Library Association for Novem- ber. The large number of uses of each print in the month attested the in- terest in many communities whose libraries have comparatively few prints. Thus the libraries of Port- land, Ore., with only 181 prints to work with, showed an average of 13.6 circulation per print in November. In the overall survey there was wide variance in the number of prints and titles in library collections. INCREASED OPENING FOR OPAQUE PROJECTION ... " 6%" Same Image Quality .

The four films in Part I, "The Head," are titled Your Teeth and Their Care, Your Eyes at Work, How Your Ears Work, and Your Nose and Throat. Part II, "The Body," treats Your Skin and Its Care, Your Food and Digestion, Your Bones and Muscles, Your Heart and Lungs, and Sleep and Rest.
