But these were minor details. .After I had traced the children's work with black India ink on white paper, I took the materials to be filmed. We now have preserved a fine example of cooperative effort which will serve as quite a challenge to the youngsters with whom I shall later work. (NOTE: Miss Norris had the alternative of preparing her own filmstrip much as was men- tioned in Mr. Trenholme's article in See and Hear, October 1946, en- titled "So You Want to Make a Filmstrip," or of taking it to a com- mercial laboratory.

Encouragement is given to teachers to take their pupils out of doors, and the Department subsidizes the cost of transport.

Here there are facilities for forty girls and boys and their teachers to camp for a week at a time and to study history and geography and nature study at first-hand. \Ve want more of these camps. Exchange of visits between city and country schools is developing. In the autumn a number of pupils from a city school are the guests, for about ten days, of children who live in the country. They go to school with them and share their pleasures. In the following spring the country children attend the city schools and their former guests become hosts. In general one can say that most New Zealand teachers are alive to the advantages of visual methods. They tend to laugh at the term "Audio-Visual Education" as a rath- er pompous fad, but in practice without fuss they use anything they can get to make their teaching more realistic. Development will come from providing more materials and facilities suited to the needs of chil- dren, and from the special training that students are receiving in the Training Colleges. • "QUILT like a fine watch — powered by a steady smooth-running motor and mechanism that purrs through reel after reel without a flutter or a jump — so simple, a 12-year-old can operate it — that's the new DeVRY l6mm. sound-on-film projector that gives you: The ultimate of sound, whether it be crisp, clear intelligible conversation, or the full majesty of sym- phonic music . . . clear definition of image . . . uni- formity of illumination over the screen's entire surface . . . soft, natural brilliance that assures viewing com- fort because it is kind to the eyes.
