The Film: Its Use in Popular Education

The Film: Its Use in Popular Education, published in 1922 by M. Jackson-Wrigley, examines the role of film as an educational tool. The book argues for the integration of cinema in schools to enhance learning in subjects such as geography, science, and literature. With a foreword by Sir Gilbert Parker, it discusses the historical development of motion pictures and their potential to engage students more effectively than traditional textbooks. Wrigley emphasizes that film's educational capabilities have not yet been fully realized, advocating for its broader acceptance in educational settings.
