TEAMING EYES AND EARS

DAVENPORT. IA.-The value
of teaming eyes and ears in edu-
cation is receiving high recognition
In virtually every major university
and numerous smaller institutions
OF higher learning, as well as in
public and parochial schools
throughout the nation. ~ -
} 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 q
comparatively few persons are "eax
minded"-that is, have the ability
to absorb and retain through hear
ing alone. .v 9 90
But when sight and sound, an
exemplified by sound motion pic1
lures, are combined, the learning
rate and retention value, are inss
creased far beyond the orthodox
teaching methods. Hundreds of COLI
leges are using standard 10 miIlS1
meter sound motion pictures and
equipment to help speed studenA
education, and in addition, many Of
them have established visual edu-l
cation departments where the new
techniques are taught TO the edu-s
Gators themselves. ycsissss fssa1 IT.. xz@
A pioneer in the moderR cOncepA
Of student education and trAining9
of educators is the University .0ki
Iowa at Iowa City, which organ-
lied a Department of Visual IBg
struction in 1917. There, as mi
numerous similar institutions, nj
splendid film library covering 81
wide variety of topics, is main

to schools, churches and other re-
sponsible organizations and indi-
viduals in the state and adjacent

don't know how it feels to be
without them. And, since freedom
is an abstract possession, imros-

that we might be robbed of it.

things with hardihood, hardship
and hard work, but we got them
without all the hard things. Now
the burning question is: Can
Americans still take hardness
and, if not, where will it put US ?
