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

TVATIONAL BROTHERHOOD WEEK-FEBRUARY 16 TO 2; The, Brotherhood Pattern and Audio-Visual Materials THIS CURRENT February is- sue of See & Hear is intended to coincide with the four- teenth annual observance of Nation- al Brotherhood Week, which occurs February 16-23, 1947. The theme of the week is "Brotherhood-Pattern For Peace." The honorary chairmanship of American Brotherhood Week, this year, is being assumed by President of the United States, Harry S. Tru- man. Here are his words: "Our own land can make no greater contribu- tion to this troubled world than to establish brotherhood as a rule of life among all our citizens of every religion, race or national origin. Brotherhood—live it, believe it, sup- port it—must be the resolve that gov- erns our relations to one another. We cannot hope to commend broth- erhood abroad unless we practice it at home." Practice it at home, in our schools, in our communities through our schools, in our neighborhoods through our schools—this is the prem- ise that has "set" See & Hear's editorial plan for the February issue. As you go through this issue, you will recognize that we have drawn together capable "speakers" on the subject of brotherhood, intergroup relations and international under- standing, from all parts of the coun- try. From the West we have such outstanding personalities as Mrs. Elizabeth Goudy Noel, President of the California State Society for Vis- ual Education; Miss Helen Rach- ford, Robert O. Hall, and Alexander Frazier, all of the Division of Audio- Visual Education, Los Angeles County Schools, and Los Angeles County Superintendent, Dr. C. Tril- lingham. From the Middlewest: Stephen M. Corey, University of Chicago; Bertha L. Crilly, teacher of Newark, Ohio; Henrietta Hafe- mann, Chicago teacher; and Mrs. Helen Stanley, Radio Education, University of Wisconsin. From Can- ada, Miss Isabel L. Jordan, of the National Film Board of Canada. And from the Eastern Seaboard, Mrs. Vachel Lindsay Blair, Film Al- liance of America; Miss Dina M. Bleich, New York teacher; Mrs. Elizabeth Hall Brady, Intergroup Education Project, American Coun- cil on Education; Vernon G. Damer- on. National Education Association; Marguerite Kirk, Director, Depart- ment of Visual Instruction, Newark Public Library; Gertrude Selkowe, Assistant Principal, junior High School, Manhattan; and Herbert L. Seamans, National Conference of Christians and Jews. All of these people have contrib- uted their thinking into one great symposium on Audio-Visual Mate- rials and Intergroup Relationships. It is the purpose of See & Hear to bring together between the covers ol one booklet, a wealth of practical information on films, slides, film- strips, recordings, transcriptions and radio, which will serve as a source of information to those teachers, ad- ministrators and superxisors who are interested in approaching this problem in their own community to the lasting good of the nation. Great credit is hereby given to Herbert L. Seamans, Director, Com- mission on Educational Organiza- tion, National Conference of Chris- tians and Jews, under whose organ- ization this fourteenth annual ol> servance of American Brotherhood Week is being sponsored. —The Editors ♦ Brotherhood of Man, recently selected by the War Department Civil Affairs Division as the best available film dealing with racial tolerance, has been released in 16 mm sound by Film Alliance of .America, Inc., through the facilities of Brandon Films, Inc., 1600 Broad- way, New York City.
