Photoplay Appreciation in the Nation's Schools

As chairman of the Committee on Photoplay Appreciation of the National Council of Teachers of English, the author describes experimentation undertaken by the Council during 1932 and 1933 for the purpose of determining whether the movie habits of adolescents can be improved significantly through the medium of the English classroom; and desirable ideals and attitudes can be developed through the medium of well-selected current photoplays; and whether the neighborhood theater can serve in part as an educational laboratory working in direct relation to the public school.
