An Illinois High School Science Teacher.
"I am one of those animals that has to teach about five hours a day and handle the executive work beside, so the valuable copy of your magazine was pigeonholed for some time.
"We have a standard projection equipment but the chief trouble that I have is getting film that will vitalize our work. The best that I have been able to do for the history is a series of Chapin's Lincoln. Good, but I have not been
able to get anything for other parts of history. For English, The Passing of the Third Floor Back, and The Goose Girl. Enough said. For chemistry a little on one or two subjects. For the Dairy class a film that was frankly advertising Borden's Milk.
"For the present, if not permanently, would it not be one of the best things for all of us if you would run a department to help us out with these problems? I should certainly appreciate some help quickly."
A California High School Principal.

Many letters, like the two following, emphasize the need of service to the rural schools. We want to assure our readers that VISUAL EDUCATION realizes most keenly this need and hopes to do much toward meeting it. Visual aids in teaching are of great value everywhere, out supremely so in the isolated rural school. It has our affection and shall receive of our best.
"I am interested in the Visual Education movement and am glad to find a journal devoted exclusively to it. I have read every word of the January number sent me and am highly pleased with all the articles.
"I am heartily in sympathy with you
and the whole movement and hope to
see it grow to include all the village and
rural schools as well as the city schools."
An Illinois Principal.
"A copy of Visual Education came to me just by chance and received a most
hearty welcome. Since the beginning of 'movies' time I have thought the motion picture could be used to great advantage in the study of geography and nature work, especially in the rural districts, where pupils must depend entirely on text books, magazines and papers for information. The average rural pupil when leaving school cannot read any periodical under standingly.
"After reading Visual Education I thot what an excellent thing it would be if a 'movie' machine could be established here for educational purposes only, but I am totally ignorant of the cost of such an enterprise and where to get information, so I shall be very, very grateful to you for your advice on the subject and any information regarding it. If too expensive for one district, perhaps I could interest the county superintendent and establish a machine at the county seat."
