TEAMING EYES AND EARS

DAVENPORT, IA.-The value
Of teaming eyes and ears in edu-
cation IS receiving high recognition
an Vntua4.y every major university
and numerous smaller Institutions
of higher learning, as well as in
public and parochial schools
throughout the nation. "a
Research has disclosed that the
overwhelming majority Of people
are "eye minded"-that is, they
learn better and faster when they
see the subject matter. Only 3
comparatively few persons are Gear
minded"-that is, have the ability
to absorb and retain through hear
ing alone. r. 4
But when sight and sound, az
eXemplded by sound motion pic
lures, are combined, the learning
rate and retention value, are in-3
creased far beyond the orthodox
teaching methods. Hundreds Of col1
leges are using standard l6 millia
meter sound molten pictures and
equipment TO help speed studenA
education, and in addition, many OF
them have established visual edn-
cation departments where the new!
techniques are taught to the edu-3
Gators themselves.
A pioneer in the modern concepe1
of student education and training
of educators is the University Of
Iowa at Iowa City, which organs
lied a Department of Visual Ing
struction in 1917. There, as in5
numerous similar institutions, a.
splendid film library covering o.
wide variety of topics, is main
tanned. A film service is extended
to schools, churches and other re-
sponsible organizations and indi-
viduals in the state and adjacent
territory. y
b This university and its sister
colleges are preparing for the day
when hundreds of thousands Of.
service men flow back into the halls
of learning and by their very num-
bers, impose a tremendous strain
ions educational facilities. 4;
