This essay relates the historical introduction of classroom films into an educational system, using the example of Czechoslovakia in the interwar years, 1918 to 1939. The focus is on that part of the nation corresponding to the modern Czech Republic. This text follows the creation of the conditions for film use in teaching, with an emphasis on the role that narrow gauges played.
