Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visual Education Through Stereographs and Lantern Slides: School Work Visualized and Vitalized The copyright notice on the opposite page tells an interesting story. It records the date of the introduction into school work of a set of stereographs and lantern slides specifically selected to meet school needs and with cross reference classifications to make quickly available the teaching content of the set. The other copyright notices indicate the dates when the first set and plan, originated by Keystone, were revised and improved. When the schools first turned to the stereograph and slide as the most effective forms of visual instruction materials, it was soon determined that the standard sets of Travel Tours then in common use for public and private libraries did not meet class room requirements. There was need of a carefully selected set of scenes closely fitted to the regular course of study. The Keystone View Company noted this need and, with the help of progressive school people, pioneered this field by bringing forth the first school set supplied with the cross reference index plan - the Keystone "600 Set" with the Teachers' Guide. The success of the first set equalled the best expectations. The schools found in this set of stereographs and slides just the material needed to make their class-room instruction most effective. It was widely used and with the later revisions has found a place in thousands of schools. From this extended use under actual teaching conditions there have come the suggestions and improvements that have made the present development and efficiency possible. Out of the accumulated experience based on the use of the Keystone "600 Set" in thousands of class rooms, there has come the present "600 Set." It is a thorough revision both as to photographic content and editorial work. Thousands of dollars were expended to get the subjects our educational advisors deemed essential to the set.
