ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION BY RADIO By J©y Elmer Morgan, Editor, The Journal of the National Education Association, and Chairman, The National Committee on Education by Radio The National Committee on Education by Radio was organized during the winter of 1930 when it mapped out a five-year program for the protection and development of this new field. Within two years, in spite of the depression and confusion in the national life, it has moved forward with remarkable effectiveness. Its achievements include the followings First, the Committee has made constant efforts to protect college and univer¬ sity broadcasting stations against powerful attacks by commercial interests. Se cond , by the maintenance of specific clearinghouse service to college and university broadcasting stations, the Committee has encouraged the development of educational broadcasting in such institutions. Thir d, the Committee has successfully discouraged the effort to establish radio advertising in the schools. Referring to the original intention of the commercial companies, Orrin E. Dunlap, Jr,, writing in the New York Times for February 5, 1933, admits n The idea that tooth paste, pencils, pons, candy, bread or motor cars can be advertised to schools under commercial sponsorship has been abandoned. Teachers will not telerate it,” Fourth, the Committee has sponsored a nationwide survey of educational broad* casting in the land-grant colleges and separate state universities. Fifth, thru its bulletin. Education by Radio, the Committee has gathered the greatest collection of writings which exists in this field. By spreading such information among people who occupy positions of power and influence it has sown 4 l the seeds for the radio reform which is as inescapable as tomorrow's sun. Its influence in this direction was clearly evidenced in the action taken by the Dominion of Canada which has revised its radio system to provide for both dominion and provincial needs under public operation.
