internationally) by the wire services of the Associated Press and 

 United Press-International, thus reaching vast numbers of persons 

 who at one time or another may come to Chicago and, while here, 

 to the Museum. 



In radio and television the Museum acknowledges the co-opera- 

 tion of the networks (American Broadcasting Company, Columbia 

 Broadcasting System, and National Broadcasting Company) and 

 more than sixty independent local stations, large and small, through- 

 out the Chicago area. Especially effective because of their appeal 

 to that segment of the public most interested in cultural and educa- 

 tional fields have been the almost daily announcements of Museum 

 activities on the program "Tomorrow" of the noncommercial tele- 

 vision station WTTW (Channel 11) and on radio station WFMT, 

 which, in addition, gives much space to the Museum in its monthly 

 Fine Arts Guide. 



The Museum benefits also from the courtesies of other kinds of 

 organizations. In particular, placards advertising the Edward E. 

 Ayer Foundation lectures for adults and the Raymond Foundation 

 programs for children were displayed without charge, as for many 

 years past, in stations of the Chicago and North Western Railway, 

 the Chicago Transit Authority, and the Illinois Central System. 

 There are also listings of Museum events throughout each year in 

 Headline Events in Chicago, published monthly by the Chicago 

 Association of Commerce and Industry, and Chicago Exhibitions 

 Calendar, published quarterly by the Adult Education Council. 



MOTION PICTURES 



Cataloguing and accessioning all film subjects as well as labeling 

 and relabeling all film storage-cans in the vault room were brought 

 up to date. Many films were screened in order to study subjects 

 and techniques that might be incorporated into our own productions. 

 In March, John Moyer, Chief of the Division of Motion Pictures, 

 attended the Twelfth Annual Workshop conducted by the Calvin 

 Company of Kansas City, where techniques in production of educa- 

 tional motion-pictures were studied and the results screened. This 

 workshop gives to motion-picture producers and other interested 

 persons the opportunity to see and study the latest in educational 

 teaching-film. "Yellowstone," a film made by John Moyer, was 

 chosen by the educational division of the State Department as one 

 of a small group of outstanding travel pictures to represent the 

 United States in showings at the international world's fair in Brussels.
