Film and Radio Guide (Oct 1945-Jun 1946)

54 FILM AND RADIO GUIDE Volume XII, No. 5 offer free time to recognized city institutions, such as the public library and museum ; should cooperate with other city agencies in non-political movements, and county educational institutions on a cost-sharing basis. It is also proposed to broadcast football games and other high-school athletic events. Both Dr. Herron and Miss Kirk believe radio will bring a closer bond between home and school, between parent and child. Parents, they say, will be able to ally themselves via radio with their son’s or daughter’s activities. A mother, for example, might interest herself in home economics courses through school broadcasts and thus share the curricular interest of her daughter. As for the classroom programs, Miss Kirk would like them to stimulate pupil interest in somewhat the same way motion pictures do. For example, a dramatization of the life of an American statesman or an Oriental nabob would stir the imagination of history classes. Science stories, re-enactments of Newark and New Jersey history, news programs, music, tales of foreign lands, folklore sketches, dramatizations of peace problems would reach other interests. Miss Kirk is equally anxious that there be no compulsion on teachers to tune in the programs. But she adds : “We are going to make them so interesting and so appealing to teacher and pupil alike that they won’t dare to miss them.” Those interested in the school radio project believe all possible talent should be developed in the schools among both teachers and students and used in producing the programs.

Try Dennis Friendly Service DENNIS FILM BUREAU Wabash, Indiana agreed a staff of professional radio assistants will be necessary to act in a participating and supervisory capacity. Miss Kirk says : “We hope to have a radio workshop in every high school, conducted either as an extracurricular activity, as at West Side High School, or as a credit course, as at Weequahic. There also might be a central workshop, staffed by professional radio instructors and open to students who prove exceptionally talented at script writing, acting and other techniques of radio production. “We expect to operate by having active committees of teachers for various subjects. Material for scripts would be suggested and collected by teachers. A number of Newark teachers are now studying radio script writing at Newark Teachers’ College.” Miss Kirk regards the radio project as “a great opportunity and a great responsibility for teachers and children.” Newark is fortunate, she says, in having radio-minded teachers and principals among its school personnel. Some, including Max Herzberg, Weequahic principal, and Dr. Alice P. Sterner of Barringer High School, are nationally known in the field of radio utilization. ★ ★ ★ Recommended Radio Programs (Time is EST) SUNDAYS 11:30 — Invitation to Learning (NBC) 12:00 — F. H.
