A brief survey is made of the history of motion pictures in education and their use as a teaching aid; the present status of 16-mm sound pictures and projectors in schools; types of educational pictures available and their sources; the distinction between auditorium and classroom films; types and sources of auditorium films currently used; types and sources of classroom films; cost of films; their acceptability by teacher groups and coöperation of non-profit educational groups toward creation of adequate classroom libraries; and a plan is suggested for an educational-film-producing organization to meet school needs.
