Indianapolis schools may adopt talking pictures in time but hinges on a levy to fund needs. Superintendent Charles F Miller says talkies offer vast educational promise and could bring expert voices into classrooms. Currently sixteen schools have motion picture machines, with three more being installed and plans to expand to all larger schools by next year. The program is led by Roderic H Rae with a library of forty films and twenty more expected.
Each year several films are rented from Indiana University at nominal cost. They cover historical geographical agricultural travel industrial and other subjects and are of great benefit in aiding pupils.
