§ 34. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Boad of Education the results of the experiments which have been made by the use of talking cinematograph films in schools; and what steps the board or the local education authorities take to ensure that correct English is used in such films?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Oliver Stanley)The board are watching sympathetically experiments in the use both of sound films and silent films in schools, and they have no doubt that these experiments have demonstrated that talking films can be used with success. The hon. Member may rest assured that the important aspect of the matter which he raises in the second part of his question will not be lost sight of.
§ Mr. STANLEYPerhaps the hon. Member will give me notice of that question.
§ Mr. DAYIs it not a fact that American expressions like "gotten" which cannot be found in any English dictionary, are used in these films?
