Talk by David Meredith
Fourteen years ago David Meredith and a colleague began their exploration of the Roman roads and quarry settlements in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. In this talk the speaker gives an account of the rich red porphyry so highly prized by the Romans, and of its only source—the quarries at the summit of Smoke Mountain.

A discussion between
Dr. C. R. Carpenter , Professor of Psychology at the Pennsylvania State College, and John Maddison , President of the International
Scientific Film Association
In Britain education and training films are being used extensively by schools, industry, Government departments, and other authorities, but up till now too little has been known about now and why these films achieve, or fail to achieve, their gurpose. During the past three years Dr. Carpenter has been directing the Instructional Film Research Programme at Pennsylvania State College for the United States Navy and Army; experimental work that includes the production of films with very precise aims, both as to the subject and to the audience for which they are intended. In this discussion Mr. Maddison asks Dr. Carpenter how the particular problems of this kind of research are approached.
