Visual Instruction in Public Schools wonders away from the street noyeses. 21 But there another noyes. It is the water falls which are bordered with lofty precipices of /? granite, and pine trees galor. There are boulders half tall as Some are so close together that a horse can't get through. feT^, There are places where you can stand out on a river above a fall on the rocks. Let it be stated in conclusion that the end for which we are striving is to make the Motion Picture a real factor in the education of the child. He grows intellectually in proportion as he increases his power of thought and expression. To gain this end we give the child, not a passive viewing of the picture, but a presentation which will be of definite informational and thought-producing value. We try to accomplish this by giving opportunity for (1) Active study. (Guiding the pupil to look for the significant thing while undertaking a preparatory study of our outline.) (2) Thoughtful consideration. (Conducting socialized class-room discussions and reports on topics assigned.) (3) Careful observation. (Silence is preserved during the showing of the film to permit complete concentrating upon the picture. Close attention is further encouraged by the pupil's knowledge that he may be asked at any time to write a theme upon the picture he has seen.) W.
