Abstract
This chapter traces the debates on photography-based teaching aids that appeared in public discourse around 1910: their pedagogical and didactic merits and their implementation. Reflections in film prevail, since there was much concern about its harmful effects on children. The first part of the text focuses on the rhetorical and, sometimes, anecdotal level of the debate, while the second part deals with the ways politics and science entered the fray.
