Teaching Health with Pictures
The various subjects and types of subject matter included in educational films for classroom use together with the relation between these subjects and the value of films as aids to instruction are discussed. A series of films is being produced with the cooperation of the Department of Biology and Public Health of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and includes, in general, material dealing with hygiene and physiology, and the relation between these and disease prevention. The value of the films lies in the fact that a visual appreciation of a particular subject is generally much more vivid and lasting among children in the lower grades of school than the same material simply presented in words, especially when the visual presentation is supplemented by an oral presentation and discussion of the subject.
