RADIO EDUCATION
PERMANENT AMERICAN PLAN After using radio as an emergency means of instruction during a recent epidemic,, Chicago is taking steps to use radio’ as a regular and permanent addition to , the present educational curriculum. , The plan under discussion provides for special programmes to bo broadcast nightly and to consist of 75 per cent, of informative entertainment, 15 per cent, of purely informative material and 10 per cent, of strictly instructive matter. High school and other pupils are to be used in the cast; teachers will write the script. Not every community can plan to present its ‘own broadcast programmes for schools, but every community can have its schools use to advantage the many genuinely instructive programmes that arc available during school hours. The study of natural history, music, drama, and current events can be profitably augmented and made more interesting to students if class rooms are equipped to tone in on suitable programmes, when desired.
