Mr. I. R. Vesselo: The problem of selecting a suitable programme of films and film strips for this meeting was not a very difficult one; the choice is very limited. Like the evening-class system, which grew out of a desire, as much to make use of empty classrooms as to educate, the educational film grew partly out of a desire to make wider use of films whose first function was to fill out the normal entertainment programme. An audience would tolerate a little education whilst waiting for the “big picture”
