1. 0 visited Fort Holabird
last week with no tangible results relating to new products or
equipment. The 0 booths are excellent for their purposes but
consume excessive space for our requirements. Fort Holabird has
the identical booths now in use in our laboratories. They are in
the process of purchasing a completely new language laboratory.
Electronic Teaching Laboratories has made a strong bid for the
contract.
The laboratory personnel at Fort Holabird were very
enthusiastic about the need for, and desirability of, informal
meetings between technical personnel in Government whose
responsibility is audio-visual support of language and area
training activities. The meetings would concentrate on the
technical and general problems relating to support of training.
A memo outlining the thoughts and the proposal is being prepared
for consideration.
2. The heavy use made of blackboards in Arlington Towers has
created a requirement for periodic washing and the dusting of
erasers. There are 41 blackboards used by language and area
classes. The lack of their being cleaned causes the accumulation
of chalk dust, adding to the problem of general cleanliness in
the classrooms. A thorough washing and eraser dusting weekly is
suggested to maintain the minimum standard for our use.

materials in English.
