132 A CATALOGUE OF SOCIAL STUDIES FILMS points of interest in connection with the Spanish-American War are pointed out. Finally we visit Hamilton and St. George, Bermuda. A fair film, usable in connection with a study of the West Indies and their colonization. Of some value in a study of the Spanish-American War. Most useful, however, as enrichment material on the neighbors of the United States. Wonders of the World Travel Series—Hawaii, Panama Canal. 1 reel. Si. American Museum (Produced by North-German Lloyd), 1930. $.50 service fee. EL, J.H.S. A trip to the tropics by way of the Panama Canal.

An air view shows the route of the canal. A boat is seen going through the Gatun locks. Animated drawings show the lock in operation. A map indicates the flow of traffic through the canal.
