Tried out in experimental situa- tions, complete w i t h a Teaching Guide, the six Amernan Heritage frimstrips are of special interest to social studies and English teachers. The first four strips tell the story of the de\elopment of democracv as a way of life in the United States. The Birth of Freedom begins the storx with our heritage from the Old World and brings it up to the Decla- ration of Independence. Freedom's Foundation deals with the Constitu- tion and the Bill of Rights. Free- dom's Progress tells how the struggle tor iini\ersal suffrage has de\eloped in our country. Freedom Today raises problems invohed in main- taining and extending our freedoms. The last two strips in the series are The Vocabulary of Freedom, a treatment of the significance of some of the words that symbolize the con- cepts and practices of freedom, and The Literature of Freedom in which \oung people are reminded of the ways in which the dynainic theme of freedom has inspired writers of all times. The fact that a national publica- lion was willing to place its resources behind this project is heartening. It made possible the production of teaching material at the time when it was most needed withoiu regard to immediate profits. The Our American Heritage film- strip series should stimulate a pro- gram of practical patriotism in .\mcr- ican schools. Through their use our students should see patriotism as something more than just a symbol or an ideal or a series of high sound- ing phrases. Used as a part ot an extensive program to make democ- racy really work, these filmstrips should |)ro\e to be a vital force in citizenship education.
