New Tools for Learning (1951)

"So much must be learned by so many in so little time. This is the question we must address to every aspect of the problem. School buildings; equipment; teacher's loads; teacher's salaries; the training of teachers and the tools for learning." Promotes educational and training films. Includes industrial, military, and scientific leaders extolling the use of educational and training films in teaching. The point is made that the world is increasingly complex and there is a corresponding need to augment knowledge. "If you want to know what we're really doing, take a look at our schools; for on what we're doing here and in schools throughout the world, rests not only our future fate but perhaps the very fate of civilization itself.
