The teacher uses her Visual Education catalog and sends her film request to the Volunteer Film Association. A Practical Demonstration in Community Cooperation They Bring Films to the Handicapped ST. LOUIS' VOLUNTEER FILM ASSOCIATION SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE bv Marion Strauss A\ EXCITIXG PLAN of visual education has been put into effect in St. Louis through the fine co- operation and co-ordination of ill the teachers of the home-bound. l2) the Division of Audio-Visual Edu- cation of the St. Louis Public Schools, and i 3 I a private agency called the Volunteer Film Association. The Volunteer Film Association is a twelve-vear old organization of men and women volunteers, who take pro- jectors and motion picture films into the homes of the handicapped of all ages and also into hospitals and other institutions. gi\ ing shows as a form of recreational therapv with the approval of the patient's physician. While the Association was still young, the Superintend- ent of Instruction of the St. Louis Public Schools granted the Volunteer Film Association the privilege of borrowing films from the library of the Division of Audio-Visual Education on the basis of the large number of school-age children the Association was caring for. After the St. Louis home-teaching program had become well established under the Pupil Welfare and Adjustment Division of the Public Schools, the plan for bringing school movies to the home-bound pupils was further de- veloped. This is how the plan works. When a home-taught child is also a patient of the Volunteer Film Association, the teacher mav request a showing of any film in the catalogue of the Division of Audio-Visual Education. The Division of Audio-Visual Education lends the film to the Volunteer Film Association, and a Volunteer Film Asso- ciation operator shows the film at the child's next regular- ly scheduled show. The teacher is not present, but she has had the opportunitv of familiarizing herself with the film, the handbook, and the catalogue description. The film, you see, supplements her teaching, and she can use il as the classroom teacher does. There have been excellent results, and evervone partici- pating in the program is most enthusiastic. • Ask Yourself: How Can I Serve?
