A report from the educational films commitdtee was presented, giving details drawn up by Mr J. R. Penning with regard to a travelling demonstrating set of motion picture apparatus and equipment for lecture purposes. This included a motor truck, generating plant with accessories, and motionpicture machine, together with a dissolving lantern, etc., to-form one whole, self-contained plant capable of being taken by X'oad to any school under tho board’s control, and enabling a lecturer to illustrate and 'demonstrate any subject deemed advisable.
