Education: Help on Celluloid
(2 of 2)
Because of the current teacher shortage, E.B.F. thinks that its influence will grow even greater. Last week it began to distribute a 162-session physics course by the University of California's Harvey White —the first full-length, high-school physics course ever put on film. The series is to be used not merely to supplement the work of the high-school teachers. It is primarily meant for an estimated 14,000 high schools that have no trained physics teacher at all. With other such projects in the works, E.B.F. may not only become more and more influential, but for hundreds of schools it may well become downright indispensable.
