II was through the efforts OF
the National committee that the
production and advertising code
was amended in order to prevent
the glorification of crimes and
criminals on the screen. This IN
cluded stopping the release OF the
film on the life of Al Capone,
since gangster films are detrl-
mental and not encouraged.
This patriotic organization spon-
sored films in camps and y. ). ..
during World War Il. Movie
equipment has also been pur-
chased for the OAR approved
Schools.
Audio-visual education is being
emphasized in the school clrr!-
culum, and some of the ontstand-
ing films are discussed in England
and dramatic classes. Sight ana
Sound teaming is a modern and
effective method of teaching, and
in a few years motion picture illms

room as the blackboard and chalk.
