HAJE5B-News Let tar**«S«pt 15, 1959 Pag© 7 If properly utilized, will prove a valuable enrichment factor® w The first step in direct action in utilization is a visit which each script writer makes to a different school each week, to sit with the teacher and the class as they listen to her program. This script writer, being a teacher herself, knowing the classroom routine, can listen with a kind of jaundiced ear — if that is physiologically possible — and come back better prepared week after week to write scripts more closely attuned to the listening atmosphere she desires* I won f t enlarge upon this, but it is a valuable point* n A second step in our utilization activities is the Program Bulletin. Samples of that are available® This Program Bulletin is four page© iia length and is issued each week in th© Superintendent*s mail. The first pag© lists current topics and items of interest to th© teacher, and includes special broadcasts. It covers trends® In other words, it i© a weekly newspaper of radio in education® The succeeding three pages contain all programs which we recommend for listening in th© classroom and in free time® Those ar® divided into grade groups. All the programs for kindergarten, first and second grade are Included together. Each section of the listings, then, can be detached from the rest of th© bulletin and kept within th© Immediate circle of primary teachers® We list programs from NBC, CBS, and WLS, which, still maintains a strong school-time program® It has beer, interesting to note that while w© list both our own Radio council programs and those of th© networks and WLS, that by far th© preponderance of listening is tuned in to those stations which carry our programs. "A third point in the utilization procedure is th© handbook which I have mentioned before. Each on© of our series of school-time programs- has a eemeister handbook which is placed in th© hands of the teacher; and anyone, any teacher, can use these, and with careful study know a great deal about this program before it is broadcast. She can motivate the youngsters to a listening pitch where attention will be ©panned wholesomely for the fifteen-minute period; and then can carry on activities of a diversified nature either in committea work or small group work, or as a class® "Another thing that we do in some instances, is make recordings of our programs, which are available in case th© teacher missed th© program — or in other cases, we have sent out a copy of th© script which the teacher is able to present as a simulated broadcast, t© maintain interest in the series. "As a further utilization activity, w© have organized what we call the Ohicagoland Radio Dinner Club; and her©, at eaoh bi-monthly meeting, an actual program is presented on a playback and a panel of critics evaluates the effectiveness of the program. Such people a© Margaret Harrison of the Progressive Education Association, and Luella Hoskins of my own staff, and others, conduct these meetings® "Perhaps the largest ©repression of our concern for utilisation will be found in our National School Broadcast Conference which will have its third meeting in Chicago on December 6, 7, and 8. This conference, which attracts radio educators from all over the United States, is chiefly concerned with th© problem of utilization® Actual classes in
