December, 1919 - DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ~~~;::,j BU~EAU OF EDUCATION WASHINGTON, 0 . C. Forth use of State departments of education, extension agencies in the several States, various depiU7t ments an bureaus of the Federal Government, and other agencies that havo motion-picture films for distribution for educational use, the Bureau of Education publishes this list of motion-picture projC<'tion machines in-the universities, colleges, normal schools, and other schools of the United States. Since the number of institutions provided with motion-picture projection m:J.chines is rapidly increasing, this list can only have temporary value. However, Dr. F. W. Reynolds, of the extension dhision of the University of Utah, and for several months connected with the educational extension division of the Bureau of Educa tion, who prepared this list, has tried to make it as complete as possible for the date on which the inquiry was made, and it will therefore serve not only its present pu,rposc, but also as a basis for a fuller list to be mn.de from time to time as there may be need for it. P. P. CLAXTON, Commissioner. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS EQUIPPED WITH MOTION-PICTURE PROJECTION MACHINES. EXPLANATORY NOTE. To 38,282 questionnaires sent out by the visual instruction section of the division of educational extension, Bureau of Education, Depart ment of the Interior, to locate the motion-picture projection machines in use for purely educational purposes in the United States, there were 10,351 replies. - A part of the information contained in these replies may be tabulated as follows: Universities, colleges, normal schools, high schools, and elementary schools having motion-picture projection machines......... ................. 1, 129 Intending to install at once..••.... .. 00 •••• • • 00 •• •• • •••• •••• •• • 00 . 3!34 Having arrangements with a local theater, public hall, library, club, or church by which educational pictures may be shown for the benefit of students ............... .. ....... 00 ••• •• ••• 00 00 •• 00 00 •••• 00 •••• 2, 177 Not having projection machines or the use of projection machines and not planning to install at once ... 0 . ............ 00 ••••• 0.---00-- 00-00 0 00 6, 761 TotaL.. ..................... .............................. 10, 351 The information providing the figures for the second item was voluntary. If it had been solicited in the questionnaire, the figures would doubtless have been considerably larger. The reason for this inference is the unqualified fact of the interest in Yisual instruction which the questionnaire revealed and stimulated. There was no intention when the questionnaire was sent out to publish any part of the information obtained. The section has, 154059°-20-l 2 MOTION-PICTURE PROJECTION MACHINES. however, received repeated requests for the list of universities, colleges, normal schools, and el~mentary schools having motion picture projection machines. To meet these requests fairly, and as well to show an important detail as to the equipment of the educa tional institutions of the country, this list is here published. It is doubtless far from complete, since there has not been time to com municate with schools which did not receive the questionnaire, or receiving it did not reply to it. But it is presumably incomplete only, and not inaccurate. It should, and doubtless will, be followed by later lists, supplying the deficiencies of this list and keeping the information up to date. Lists of names may mark progress, and more than that, may actually stimulate progress. ALABAMA. Capacity City or town. Institution. Make of machine. ofaudl· torium. Auburn ................
