'life' Features 'Human Growth'; Available on News Stand Today | I he hj. C. Brown Trust and the University of Oregon are given ad ditional national recognition for ^leadership in education in an arti cle in the May 24 issue of Life mag azine, out today. The article prais 'es the new film, “Human Growth,” ^recently released for use in Ore gon’s and the nation’s schools. This film, already written up in Time, Newsweek, Ladies Home Journal and other national maga zines, is intended to teach the sci - entific facts of human reproduc tion and growth to youngsters of ■ the junior high and high school level. It does so in a straight-for ward, unemotional, dignified man ner which has brought approval from 98 per cent of Oregon par rents, teachers and others who have seen it. “Human Growth” was financed by the E. C. Brown Trust, an inde pendent organization set up under the general supervision of the Uni versity by the will of a Portland -doctor. Technical assistance and “know how” in production of the film was provided by members of the University staff, principally Dr. Lester P. Beck, associate pro cessor of psychology. Called Epic Movie The Life story calls the film an "epic making movie” and "by any critical standard ... a hit.” It points out that the movie creates a wholesome attitude as a basis for stimulating classroom discussion and that children accept it natur ally, asking questions and discuss ing various ponits with ease and dignity. "For years educators have sought a method of sex education which would get rid of embarrass ment and self-consciousness and bring it out into the open. The state of Oregon is the first to come up with an answer,” the article says. Pictures From Eugene Most of the photographs of a class viewing the film were taken at Roosevelt junior high school here in Eugene. Seven photographs, three of them half page in size, show members of the 7th grade class intently watching the film.
