Schools Adopt Movie Based Visual Education Program
Movietone pictures are shown this year in both the high and grade schools here. A multimeter motion picture projector was purchased this summer by the directors in cooperation with the parent teachers association. Films are supplied through a statewide service and are available to all schools that own a projector. Requests are sent to Reagananners for desired pictures from a furnished catalog. Each school bears the cost of selection and showing. A film is shown about once weekly, sometimes in the evening with public invites. Visual education through film projection is growing in popularity as more schools obtain projectors.
