Arrangements
Made for Film
Eddie Albert productions of Hol
lywood will produce the University
of Oregon's educational motion pic
ture on human growth and repro
duction, it was disclosed last week
by Dr. Lester F. Beck, associate
professor of psychology.
News that the prominent produc
er had undertaken the production
of the film was made known at an
advance campus showing of the ex
perimental slide-sound version be
fore a group of Eugene educators.
Dr. Beck, film director for the E. C.
Brown trust fund which sponsors
the film, has just returned from
Hollywood, where final arrange
ments were made for the produc
tion.
Prepared to serve as a visual aid
and to implement certain portions
of Oregon’s public school health in
struction program, the film is to
be a 16-mm. colored sound produc
tion. It will be used to supplement
the manual for health instruction
now in use at the seventh grade
level in the secondary schools. This
manual was prepared by Howard
S. Hoyman, associate professor of
physical education.
The finished film will be ready
for a premier showing on the Uni
versity campus in June, Dr. Beck
related.
Background of the instructional
work in Oregon’s health program
that has made possible the prepara
tion and production of such a film
was explained at the Wednesday
night showing by Mrs. George Moor
head, field secretary of the E. C.
Brown trust fund. Mrs. Moorhead
pointed out the unusual setup of the
state joint committee which is com
posed of staff members of the state
department of education, the state
board of health, and the state sys
tem of higher education.
In no other state, she said, do you
have the unique situation of the
state system of higher education
playing so Important a part in the
development of the program of
physical health and education in the
secondary school system.
Dr. E. C. Brown, Portland physi
cian, died in 1939, and by his will
established the E. C. Brown trust
fund, which was for the develop
ment of social hygiene education for
the youth of Oregon. His will named
as director of the trust the presi
dent of the University of Oregon.
Early established as a policy in
administering the trust was the de
velopment of social hygiene in the
state on a scientific rather than a
sentimental basis. Dr. Adolph Wein
zirl, named director of the trust,
this program has been developed.
Comments following a showing
of the film last Wednesday night
were enthusiastic.
“It fills a definite need in health
instruction in Oregon." was the
opinion of Dr. Ralph W. Leighton,
dean of the University school of
physical education. Continuing, he
said, “It has been extremely well
handled and even in the controver
'sial area which it encompasses it
will give less trouble than numer
ous other subjects because of the
care with which it has been planned.
Dr. Beck has done an excellent job."
Dr. Leighton pointed out that
there is nothing else of this type in
the educational field.
