...Educationists have drowned their schools in "oceans of piffle." They spend hours on such research projects as a "Tabular Summary of Frequency of Mention of Correlation Between Aspects of Teachers or Teaching and Certain Criteria of Teaching Success." They give courses in everything from "Administering the Use of Audio-Visual Materials" to "Dance s193C -Social Dance...
...idea for the "Hall of Our History" came to Milwaukee-born Eric Gugler, an architect who has already built a dozen memorials, but says he has "never been able to find a history of the U.S. in chronological order and in visual form in any one place." The granite history he plans will cost a monumental $25 million, to be raised by public subscription. Gugler's blueprints for the monument, which will take ten years to build, call for a roofless, granite structure (247 feet wide, 418 feet long and 90 feet high), fitted inside with high relief sculptures...

But what they are seeing are not the big Hollywood productions, but 16-mm. industrial, educational and religious films. In the past 17 years the number of 16-mm. projectors has grown from...
...visual recordings show that most birds' songs are not intended for clumsy human ears. A few of them (e.g., the songs of whippoorwills and song sparrows) can be heard complete, but others contain many parts that are too high-pitched. When heard by human ears, the golden crowned kinglet's song, for instance, must be a pale shadow of what it sounds like to another golden crowned kinglet, which can appreciate all of its highest notes...
Birds' ears must also be quicker than human ears. Some of the songs of warblers, for example, are full of musical phrases set so close together that they cannot be heard separately. Even apparently simple songs contain quick musical details that slip past human ears. On studying the visual records, the scientists found that many birds are musical gymnasts, playing on their vocal organs as if they were string quartets. The blue jay, for instance, can sing what amounts to a major chord, holding a low note and a high note simultaneously; then after a hundredth of a second...
