Abstract

Encouraged by a grant from the American Council on Education, the United States Office of Education launched the National Visual Instruction Survey in January, 1936, to determine (1) the nature of the visual and auditory equipment owned by elementary and secondary schools in the United States, (2) the extent of its use, and (3) ways in which national agencies can facilitate the use of visual and auditory aids for instructional purposes. The author of this article directed the survey, and Mr. Allen W. Noble assisted him. Reports were received from approximately 9000 school systems covering 95 per cent of all cities with a population of 5000 or more, and a fair percentage of the rural school districts. The paper summarizes the results of the survey.
