Important Editorial Features In See & Hear This Month if IHREE MAIN E\'ENTS take place in our editorial pages this month. The first is the co\er feature lopic "Visualizing the \'ocational .\rts" which continues the new See & Hear tradition of curriculum integration we began last fall and features four experienced hands in the field of vocational education as well as many material recommendations. The second main e\ent is the completion on five solid pages of text of our State Surveys on progress in audio-\isual education. We are especially indebted to Georgia's audiovisual chief for his excellent report in this issue. Georgia can and should have at least equal status with other progressi\e areas in the New South and llie time is ripe for a coordinated effort in that direction. Her leadership is both capable and enthusiastic. Witness the successful career of Atlanta's Film Council, the growth of audio-visual libraries, and the distinguished work of some of her pioneer leaders. We look forward to de\ eloping programs of statewide importance in both Georgia and perhaps — also in North Carolina. Comjjleting this trilog)' of special features is Part One of a very useful Mir\ey of teacher training programs 111 colleges and uni\ersities. Here is where real progress in more classroom audio-\isual utilization must begin — where teachers learn to use the materials — and experience their ■values as they learn to leach. It will interest our subscribers to know that See & Hear has provided more pages of exclusi\ely educational content on audio-\isual materials and techniques than any other professional journal in this field. Four limes as man\ pages as se\cral of the periodicals and a good percentage more than any other contemporary. \Vc sincerely believe that the audio\isual field merits this exclusne professional attention. But we also believe that tens of thousands of classroom teachers and specializing department heads ought lo i)e ser\ed as we ha\c ,ser\ed tliem in this first experimental year of featured issues — health & welfare, sports, primary grades, social studies, science — and now — vocational education. — OHC SEE and HEAR
