Foreword by Commissioner Of Education Earl McGrath

FOREWORD* This catalog lists and describes more than 2,400 motion pictures and filmstrips of the United States Government which may be purchased and used by schools and industry in their edu- cational and training programs. These films of 20 different agencies cover a wide variety of subjects - from nature study to psychiatry, from the Tanglewood music festival to the techni- cal skills of machine shop work. While most of the films were not produced specifically for classroom use, it is our belief that they will be valuable teaching tools in many school and college courses. I am glad that the U. S. Office of Education has been able to assist in having these films released and distributed through United World Films, Inc., for public educational use. I hope that they will be widely used.
