FILMS IN SCHOOLS
FREE SCREENING URGED DEPARTMENTAL CONTROL Portable cinematographs controlled by teaching staffs in schools for the | screening of educational films were favoured by several speakers at a meeting of the Auckland Education Board this morning. Further consideration was made of the application of Mr. H. G. Hill, director of Educational Film Service, for permission to screen educational films in schools, and Mr. C. H. Hinton asked permission to introduce visual education by means of moving pictures. F. Wiseman, Ltd., offered to supply projector apparatus for installation in the board’s schools. ! “We should wait until the Department of Education fathers the idea,” said Mr. H. S. W. King. “It is not altogether desirable at present to open the doors to those looking for business.” “If gramophones in the schools are | subsidised,” said the chairman, Mr. A. i Burns, "then educational film mai chines could be subsidised, too. The ! subjects would be within the reach of j country schools. The whole question i would be departmental. Further, in •an educational film, the machinecould ibe stopped and any point fully ex- ;• plained. “Outsiders should not come in and i educational films should be free to the ' children.” Consideration of the question was deferred until next meeting.
