PRICES ON APPLICATION Once, an ancient cave dweller drew crude bison on smoke-blackened walls ... a tonsured monk illuminated a vellum manuscript ... a skilled carver in wood brought pictures to the early textbooks . . . photography made them clearer. And today, textbooks are supplemented by pictures that live, pictures that Ulustrate and make real the scenes of history, that move to the classroom the laboratories of science, that give civics and other studies new meaning, that unfold the world's knowledge on the motion picture screen for your children and ours to study. That talkies are a major step forward in teaching technique is a certainty.
