The Use of Motion Pictures in Education
The extensive use of motion pictures in the schools is a very recent development. Experiments on the production of motion pictures, having for their purpose to convey scientific information, were undertaken in the early stages of the industry. Since the invention of motion pictures, numerous attempts have been made to produce educational films on a large scale and introduce them into the schools. The use of motion pictures in the schools, however, has not by any means kept pace with their use in the theater. While theatrical motion pictures have grown until they constitute one of the most extensive forms of recreation of the American people, educational motion pictures are still on trial, and are used only to supplement, in a limited and irregular way, the usual forms of instruction.
