How to Use the Educational Sound Film (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Use the Educational Sound Film In the face of these conditions, the words curriculum and method become exceedingly significant and the edu cator must be constantly on the alert for more efficient teaching processes and more effective learning implements. With so much to be learned, time becomes of the essence. With the pattern of the modern world becoming increasingly complex and with the human mind constantly battering away at the ramparts of the infinite, the learner cannot spend his time muddling with details when he should be dealing with the overview, nor can he expect to comprehend the pattern of life unless he can trace its warp and woof, infinitely fine though they may be. So it is that the schools must ever be devising better ways of teaching and learning, better instruments for translating vicarious experience as nearly as possible into reality.
