PTA ADOPTS RESOLUTION
A changed attitude toward broadcasting is foreseen in the resolution adopted by the Parent Teachers Congress at its annual convention held at Minneapolis re¬ cently. The resolution is as follows:
"Ue believe that radio is a form of education and should be used to enrich and extend home and coininunity life; that the broadcasting channels should be pro¬ perly regulated by national and state authorities and freed from objectionable advertising. "
The resolution adopted last year favored the setting aside channels for the exclusive use of education.
Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the official organ of the National Education Association, and chairman of the PTA radio committee was displeased with the ac¬ tion of the convention and proposed the following resolution which was rejected:
"We believe that radio broadcasting is an extension of the home; that it is a form of education; that the broadcasting channels should forever remain in the hands of the public; that the facilities should be fairly divided between na¬ tional, state and county governments; that they should be owned and operated at public expense freed from commercial advertising."
Morgan's substitute amendment was defeated I3I to 52. He was not reappoint ed as chairman of the PTA radio committee.
