Year. The comments of all Head Teachers were invited at the end
of the talks, and the following extracts will be of interest.
The Head Master of Sir George Monoux Grammar School
reports:—"We found the talks very helpful and extremely well
delivered. I should like to have the lecture repeated each year."
The Head Master of William Morris Technical School states
that both pupils and members of staff present were enthusiastic
about the content and usefulness of the talk and also its presentation.
The following are extracts from reports from the headmasters
and headmistresses of secondary schools:—
"We felt that her talk was valuable. It was felt that
the film which was shown was in certain respects unsuitable.
We felt it devoted too much attention to, and had too many very
unpleasant pictures of, pyorrhea."
"Her lecture is useful in consolidating previous instruction."
"I believe the lecture was of real value. The film was excellent
and held the attention of the scholars."
"I believe this to be an excellent innovation. I would add,
however, the sound film (one of the finest of its type that I have
seen) added in no small measure to the general interest."
"The showing of the film before the lecture was very good
technique. It was a very good film, clear and easy to understand
and well within the range of 2nd and 3rd years in the Secondary
Modern School."
"The children were obviously interested. The technicolour
film was very good and helped to stimulate interest. The talk
was very informative and comprehensive. It was not too
technical."
"It was a good talk and I would be pleased to have
two talks, one to our firsts and one to our seconds."
"I should welcome it again in about twelve months time.
The film is one of the best diagramatic teaching films that I have
seen. It is well planned in its teaching progression and the
graphic representation is excellent. It really left little to be said
afterwards. Handling of questions, which were numerous and
sensible, was very good."
"The talk proved to be both interesting and instructive."
