TIME picture, like the printed
word, is a means of convey
ing ideas. INSTALLATION is as
- old as man himself, but the
rapid development of photography
in both motion pictures and still
work, has caused the visual educa-
ton idea to seem new. About q
State universities and colleges, to-
gether with several large city school
systems and museums, have started
pictorial libraries where pictures are
filed and used i'll much the same
manner as books The new type OF
library is rapidly developing. The
pictures record history, progress III
science and various topics that are
of vital interest TO students.
Specialists have entered the tcid
of motion pictures, still pictures and
chart work, so that the great college
libraries of the years to come VIII
possess treasures in art which may
be classed with the books. In the
future, when the surgeon writes a
book, his work will be supplemented
with the pictorial record, either III
motion pictures or still photographs.
Experiments in large and expensive
laboratories may be performed be
fore the camera for the benefit OF
'the students who are unable to al
ford such equipment. The picturiza-
ton of the experiment becomes a
permanent record.
Indiana University has developed
such a pictorial library for the bene-
fit of the State through its extension
division. and demands upon IT have
been heavy. During the school year
of l925-1926 over 700 different COM
munities of the State were served
I, with motion and still pictures.
The future OF the motion picture
is, indeed, difficult TO predict. The
industry started and went forward
on account OF the amusement tea
ture, which was. at first. its sole
purpose. But ii has outgr0wu the
early ideas. Science and history have
entered the field, the colleges are
paying particular attention to the
motion pictures possibilities. and
great steps are to be taken within
the decade 'to come. The motion
picture is an item which plays an
lmportant part in the lives OF mil
