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 institutiorS
of higher learning, as well as in
public and parochial i. schools
throughout the nation. - "A
fEs 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
comparatively few persons are ear
minded"-that is, have the ability
to absorb and retain through hear
ing alone. g.
But when sight and sound, aal
eXempliied by sound motion pic-j
lures, are combined, the learning
rate and retention value, are in-s
creased far beyond the orthodox
teaching methods. Hundreds of COLI
leges are using standard 16 milM
meter sound motion pictures and
equipment to help speed students
education, and in addition, many Of
them have established visual edu-
cation departments where the new!
techniques are taught to the edu-gg
Gators themselves. q
A pioneer in the modern concept
of student education and trainingl
of educators is the University OF
Iowa at Iowa City, which organ-s
lied a Department of Visual ms
struction in 1917. There, as in
numerous similar institutions, q
splendid film library covering o.
wide variety of topics, is main-t
tanned. A film service is extended
to schools, churches and other re-!t
sponsible organizations and indi-
viduals in the state and adjacent
territory. ss~
~ This university and its sister
colleges are preparing for the day
when hundreds of thousands off
service men flow back into the halls
of learning and by their very num-
bers, impose a tremendous strain:
ions educational facilities. T.,

1t inspired their sons to cross the
Appalachians and develop a huge

time. America became the worlds
most influential nation as a result
of many adventurous quests for
religious liberty, political free

F But Americans are not pioneers
now in the same sense they were
when the country was being ex.
plored and subdued. Millions en-.
Joy this nations freedom today
who had nothing to do with max.
ing it free. Many of US do not ap.
preciate our liberties because we
don't know how It feels to be
without them. And, since freedom
is an abstract possession, i'm POS
sible to touch or taste, we forget
that we might be robbed of it.

cardinal liberties for themselves
and for US. They were (D the
right to worship, ~ the right to
work and 90 the right of self
government. They bought these
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 win put us?
The fact cannot be disputed
chat many modern Americans
love luaury aud hate hardship.
