18 closed circuit applications, the NAEB Engineer was beginning to provide valuable and unbiased assistance to these organizations in reviewing their Plans and in making recommendations for equipment and other facilities to be used to accomplish the desired ends. This activity has now been curtailed at a time which we feel is unfortunate since solid services were beginning to be developed in many locations in which the Fund for the Advancement of Education and other organizations have a vital Interest, and many of which they support. It Is essential that educational stations keep pace with technical advances, and that current Installations not become tomorrow's albatross, or not be such as to greatly hamper what TV, adequately Implemented, can do. There is presently no one in the movement to insure against this. The NAEB Engineer kept the NAEB membership Informed on new technical developments which came to mean a great deal both from financial and quality considera¬ tions through the N ewsletter and the Engineering Newsletter as well as by original reports and reprints of papers distributed to managerial and ETV tech¬ nical personnel. The Video Recording Workshop, mentioned above, was an illustration of this Informational and technical training service. Operating ETV stations were represented on the Television Allocations Study Organization by the NAEB Engineer, and educational television represen- ta..on on many other Important boards and government agencies was Insured by the active participation of the NAEB Engineer. Since travel funds and Staffs at most educational Institution* are limited, no satisfactory solution to the problem created by his departure has been found.
