Educational Sound Films | Nature

ABSTRACT UNDER the auspices of the British Film Institute, 4, Great Russell Street, London, W.C.I, a private demonstration of educational sound films was presented at the Academy Cinema,

London, on June 21, before teachers and educationists. As Mr. H. Rams-botham, M.P., Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, pointed out in his introductory address, such films

must not be accepted without reservation, for they should always be looked upon as being supplementary to the teacher himself. The production of the films shown was a piece of pioneer work

and experimental in character, and the venture augurs well for the future of the cinematograph in education, especially if the producers receive the constructive criticism from teachers for

which they ask. There is little doubt that, provided it is not abused, the sound film will prove an important asset to the teacher of the future. The seven films presented on this occasion

clearly showed not only the expert film producers we have at our command, but also where the film will be a useful aid and where it will prove an unwelcome intruder. Access through your
