Abstract
DRS. STORM AND DAVIS have produced a book entirely for the teacher; they develop some interesting ideas and make a number of suggestions whicn cannot fail to be helpful. The book contains an interesting chapter on teaching through charts, slides, and tilms, which could be read with advantage by many agricultural teachers in this country. The authors state that the use of films as a means of teaching is rapidly gaining ground in America. The expense of the projecting machine is being reduced by the manufacture of smaller and less costly models, while the expense of the films is being lessened by more economical methods of manufacture. Teachers and producers are co-operating in making films that are actually, and not merely ostensibly, educational, while the inefficiency of the film service is being overcome by the development of co-operation between schools, colleges, and commercial and teachers' organisations.
