In Home and School dents taking specific laboratory and field courses in motion photography. Except in one or two experimental schools in the progressive group such courses are not available today. Almost every modern school today has huge lathes to teach boys to repair automobiles. Is it not equally logical that schools should make easily accessible the most important tool of one of America's largest industries? Some advance has been made in the use of projectors in schools. This indicates that the educators of the country are becoming more and more aware of the methods which motion pictures make available to them. The approximate number of projectors in American schools and colleges is shown in the table on page 258. Analysis of the figures in the table on page 258 affords the following conclusions: 1. The small number of sound projectors now available will delay general visual education by talking pictures for many years. 2. There are sufficient silent projectors of both the 35 mm. and 16 mm. size to make possible limited nation-wide visual education in that form. 3. With ten thousand 16 mm. silent projectors and forty-five hundred 35 mm. projectors, it is imperative that silent educational films be printed in both sizes. The educational film situation is not definitely established at present. To put it mildly, it is in a state of flux. [259]
