Sight and Sound of the News

James McPherson Heads N. E. A. Audio-Visual Services and DAVI

♦ "An effective audio-visual pro- gram has to affect every phase of the instructional program in the scliool, " according to Dr. J. James McPher- son, new executive secretary of the Audio Vislal Instruction Depart- ment of the National Education Association.

-•Mso named director of the NE.\ .Audio-Visual Instructional Service, Dr. McPherson, in discussing his plans for the coming year, said he expected to continue the program begim under Dr. Herbert T. Jensen, acting director of the department for the past six months.

In locating schools where out- standing examples of audio-visual programs have been established, Dr. McPherson will continue the cooper- ative exchange project inaugurated by NEA last year to assist in develop- ing and improving professional edu-

cation. In this way, sound patterns of operation can be established.

The department plans to prepare a report on audio-visual require- ments for new school buildings to guide architects and school boards and also determine the needs of audio-visual fields at the national and state levels.

Formulation of a program in edu- cational radio and television activi- ties will be an added service, and the department will continue its film evaluation project, expecting to dis- tribute a selected list of reprinted articles and sample materials to the membership.

For the past 12 years. Dr. McPher- son has studied and worked to de- velop and secure suitable audio- visual materials for use in schools.

As a regular contributor to See & Hear during the past several years. Dr. McPherson is well known to our readers. We pledge him our full cooperation.

World Convention on Christian Education Focus on Visual Aids

♦ Audio-visual education took the spotlight at the recent World Con- vention OF Christian Education held in Chicago last month.

During the daily sessions, given over largely to forums and discussion groups on specific phases of religious problems for various age levels, 29 audio-visual presentations were made including slides, filmstrips, motion pictures, visual displays and record- ings, i

Newest and most efficient audio- visual equipment in the field, fiomi Canadian and American manufac- tmcrs, were also displayed with ani interesting new technique using 16mm film for showing on a 12 x 18 foot screen. Magnifying the film 419,904 times was accomplished by use of a new carbon arc projector

Among films shown at the confer; ence were those produced by Reli] gious Films, Ltd., London; Protes tant Film Commission; Moody Bible Institute; United Lutheran Church and Cathedral Films. Of special in

Dr. Eric Voehringer, associate sec- retary in charge of audio-visual edu- cation of VVCCE, New York Office, prepared five filmstrips on Sunday -School work. Premiered at the con- vention, the strips were made avail- able to delegates for home and church use.

Religious filmstrips from around the world included excerpts of Bible stories, produced in China; the life of the famous African missionary, Al- bert Schweitzer, from Britain and others visualizing a youth camp in Mexico, a youth evangelism program in Burma and the work of Christian schools in Siam.

Discussion of other audio-visual aids such as radio, recordings and television completed this forum.

Don Williams to Iran; Establishing Film Production Program There

♦ Dr. Don Williams, coordinator of Syr,\cuse University's Audio-Visual Services, has been asked by the U.S. State Department to establish a film production program for the Iran government.

Dr. Williains spent three weeks in Teheran surveying the film needs of the country and conferring with Iranian officials.

Plans for a film production pro- gram similar to the one now operat- ing at Syracuse University, are now

being drawn up. Production crews will be taken from staffs of the vari- ous audio-visual centers in this coun- try and sent to Iran to shoot films on location. Only a few of them will be produced in the United States.

The professor, who is a charter member and president of the Uni- versity Film Producers Association, came to Syracuse University in 1948 from the University of Indiana where he headed the film production department of the audio-visual cen- ter. During the war, he served with the U.S. Navy as project officer for

Based upon established psychological prin- ciples of learning, this new book is a much- needed guide to modern audio-visual edu- cation. It presents not only both old and new curriculum materials, but also sufficient background so that each of the materials can be understood completely. Exception- ally full treatment is given to aural materi- als, and the presentation of television is entirely up to date. Throughout, the concern is with doing and experiencing rather than simply reading and discussing. A great many actual photographs demonstrate the use of audio-visual techniques in the classroom.

Johnny Returns

. THE SEE & HEAR EDITORIAL •

JOHNNY has come back to school — he's one ol thirty-four just like him, eager, full of pep and energy, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity for investigating new things, finding out about new ideas

What's Johnny like? What's he been doing all sum mer? What's he been thinking?

Johnny, like the rest of his friends — both boys anc! girls, who find themselves seated before you in youi classroom today, has been living through a sununei, characterized by a whirl of informational media. Thi: sunnner Johnny and his friends have not been attend ing as many movies but they have been spending mom time before the new television set. When he took hij vacation trip with his parents, the whole family playecj the Billboard Vocabulary Game — you know how i goes! You pick out a word beginning with "a", iher everyone searches for one beginning with "b", then th( search continues for a "c" word, a "d" word, and so on Johnny was the first one through.

From time to time he tuned in the car radio to listci to the latest commimiques from overseas. Then thi whole family selected their favorite magazines and news papers during evening stops.

During class today Johnny told us about the thing he had seen. He had been through the Rockies; h had visited the great orange groves of the West. H had watched the dryland farming in Montana, seen ili great earth-filled dam at Fort Peck. The children wer entranced at his vivid descriptions. Johnny knew wh:i he was talking about. He had been there. He had li' tened. He had observed, and the things he had \vi nessed had been real.

Why had Johnny learned so well? He had gained h impressions of the summer because he is living in 1950 communication world of travel, of radio, of new print, of television, and entertainment screen.

And now in the fall, he once more finds himself in tli more restricted confines of the classroom en\iroiniieii As teachers let's ask ourselves some questions.

Are we going to continue to use some of the moder techniques for learning about things that J(jhniiy ha been unconsciously exposed to all sunnner? If we don" we are going "to let him down."

Are we sure that we know where all these new an modern materials of instruction can be secured? Mo of us do a good job of this, but every day new and inipo lant, graphically visualized materials are making the a|jpearance: well photographed and organized filnisirij in almost everyone of the subject areas and at evei grade-level! motion pictures, tianscriptions, and hos of other study materials are being produced todav ; great rate and of quality which is improving steadil

For the third successive year, Skk. & Hkar begins i school-year editorial plan by presenting lists of iie\v produced instructional materials of which you will wai to know as you plan to make your 1950-19.51 teach ii contribution effective, interesting, and socially inipi tant to the children who come to you for instructio
