Talking Pictures mony that such attendance is one of the quickest ways to build up adequate conversational facility in the language. Progressive schools and colleges, in districts where exhibition of foreign language films is not common, are seeking the same goal by sponsoring the presentation of films in French, Italian, Spanish, and German in their local or campus theatres. There is no question that this procedure will grow in popularity and that eventually it may develop a large, special educational market for films in native tongues. Language teachers are in agreement that native idioms correctly spoken with excellent enunciation by trained native players, make a specially valuable impression upon the student. Teaching of languages by phonographic records has been a common supplementary method for years. Now by talking pictures the great value of sight can be added to this system of instruction. [272]
