X Q v ,fr I 1 Learning from fhe silver screen Where learning is concerned, the eye is one of our most useful facilities. Knowing this, teachers use all means at their disposal to develop it. Our eyes are bombarded daily by numerous movies, filmstrips , slide presentations, maps and other methods of ocular stimulation in learning. These methods, along with the reading of books and the observation of a teacher's scrawl on a blackboard combine to make the eye the gateway to the student's mind.

One of the many changes instituted was a revision of the Phase program's grading plan, requiring at least 80070 to pass.
