SUMMER NEBRASKAN

Film Head
Says Use
Increasing
The president of the largest or
ganization in the classroom teach
ing films field for sees an in
creased "darkening" of classrooms
all over the nation.
He said as a result of a quarter
century of pioneering, education
al films have now become a fully
accepted teaching tool everywhere.
Maurice Mitchell, head of Ency
clopaedia Britannic a 'ilms, Inc.,
spoke Friday morning at the Uni
versity. He urged educators to use 20th
Century communications in teach
ing students who are to compete
in this 20th Century.
"The growth of educational mo
tion pictures has come at a time
when the schools had to rely on
outside assistance." Mitchell said
pointing -to the fact that this
growth occurred simultaneously
with the "bulge" of child popula
tion now passing through the
schools.
"World War H experiences, when
we simply had to teach large num
bers of men new concepts and
techniques in the shortest possible
time, brought educational films
into their own.
"After the war, the educational
system began receiving' back edu
cators who had learned at first
hand the tremendous contribution
to learning that teaching films can
mske," he said.
The result is now that 'the edu
cational film is frequently accept
ed on the same plane as the text
book; neither presumes to sup
plent teacher or parent; each
makes a urriaue contribution to
the teaching process, he said.
Mitchell praised the University's
facilities in the bureau of audio
visual instruction, saying that Ne
braska is in a more favorable po
sition than most of the other states
in the country.
His two-day visit to the Univer
sity was sponsored by the Univer
sity Summer sessions and bureau
of audio-visual instruction.
