There has been much experiment with cinematic pedagogy. But lately the Eastman Kodak Co. investigated these experiments and found that they were being conducted most unscientifically, inefficiently. Accordingly, the Eastman Kodak Co. last week announced that it had arranged to develop a large series of films to be used in fourth, fifth and sixth grades of grammar schools, and in junior high schools, to supplement courses in geography, health and hygiene, civics, fine and practical arts, general science. The Kodak president, able, active George Eastman, has many times manifested keen interest in educational matters, chiefly through his gifts to Massachusetts...
...sent free to ru- ral districts. This venture was found financially impracticable. The present prospect of many school children learning geography and science from "shots" of Patagonian flocks and herds, Chinese temples, the home life of the Paramecium, or of "Making Rubber in Ohio," seems excellent. The Eastman Kodak Co. is one of the largest corporations in the U. S. The National Education Association has some 161,000 members. And added to these agencies will be the huge publicity corps of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., Will H. Hays, president...
...world winked open and shut last week, a finished article. It was a long-range camera for the Army air service, with a nine-inch lens (the largest ever ground for a camera) to photograph the earth from an altitude of seven miles or so. Experts of the Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester, N. Y.) had fashioned it, providing also a film specially sensitized to record light at the infra-red (long wave, dull light) end of the spectrum, a film taking exposures nine inches square, 100 exposures to a roll. Lieut. George W. Goddard will soon have the camera mounted...
...upon his 70th birthday. This time there seemed no especial occasion, unless to denote his going on a European vacation in this, his 86th* year or to mark his 63rd year with the bank, on July 25. At Rochester, N. Y., 13,269 employes of the Eastman Kodak Co., received $2,786,165 in one broad bonus-more than $200 each. At Luling, a small oil town of south central Texas, on an upper fork of the Guadalupe river, there was a wild rush to buy new automobiles. The United North & South Oil Co. of the locality had just been...
From Rochester, N. Y., locus of the Eastman Kodak Works, came news. An experiment had been made with aerial photography at night by flashlight. A Martin bomber 3000 feet up dropped 50 pounds of flashlight powder which was detonated in midair. Seven special cameras and a cinema machine clicked. There was a swift and powerful flash-it lasted only one-fiftieth of a second-then a tremendous explosion "rocked the buildings," "broke windows" (a few). The photographs were a "success." "Useful in war," said observers...
