NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS, Starr 163 prepare technicians for film work, but mainly it is experience that makes significant achievement along these lines. The number of pro- fessionals in noncommercial film-making and film utilization is stead- ily increasing. They are people who have learned from their own experiences, not those of someone else. They have made professionals of themselves, and there is a justifiable pride that goes with the work they are now doing. The cooperative Film Service of the American Nurses' Asso- ciation and the National League for Nursing offers a fine example of the kind of professionalism I have in mind. In 1953 (the first year of the cooperative enterprise and the fifth year of the ANA's film pro- gram), the Film Service made important strides in almost every direction. At its most recent biennial convention, for example, pre- views of new films pertinent to nursing were scheduled during each afternoon of the four-day meeting and were seen by literally thousands of nurses. Each film was introduced by a nursing specialist, and fol- low-up discussion was held when the situation required. The director of the Film Service was on hand at the convention to help interested members with their own film problems. Films are also available at moderate rental fees to members through the newly established ANA-NLN Film Library. It is expected that the number of titles and prints will grow considerably as this service becomes more widely used. Sixteen-millimeter film reviews, prepared for the Film Service by staff and committee experts, are published each month in the American Journal of Nursing. A selec- tion of these reviews is edited and reprinted each year and used as a mailing piece for members who want general information about films for their programs. The first discussion guide has been completed, and several articles on selecting and using films have been written by the Film Service's director and published in the nursing journal. Production is another phase of the ANA-NLN Film Service. At present two films are in production under its sponsorship and supervision. They have been budgeted not for economy's sake but at as high a figure as was possible, for they are considered important investments in education, not potentially useful gimmicks. Much of the good sense that underlies the ANA-NLN Film Service can be traced to its director's previously gained experience and skills. The job she first took for the American Nurses' Association was a small one, but it grew because she knew how to help it grow and thrive. She has won the support of the organizations she works
