- 2 - stress and excessive dynamics, We "dramatize" history, for example -- we "dram¬ atize" science —we put geography into thrilling travel adventures — and if we aren’t careful, we’ll have a nation of listeners who believe that acquiring education by radio is just an effortless surrender to the emotional stimulation. Yes, we can learn much from the British about substantial motives and values. And we can learn, most of all, that the principle of publicly-supported broadcasting service works. It truly serves the people. The best evidence of this lies in the fact that the ten year charter of the British Broadcasting Corporation, which expires this year, will not only be renev/ed but strengthened, with provision for a larger share of the radio tax of ten shillings ($2.50) per year. The recent report of the Parliamentary committee surveying the work for the BBC was most favorable and commendatory. This should give great encourage¬ ment t« those of us who are endeavoring to make a place in the American system for non-commercial public broadcasting service. Further reports on the various studies abroad will be made available to our members as soon as possible, I shall be glad to receive specific inquiries, if there are any. This is indeed a time of aroused interest and questioning about fundamental principles in broadcasting'and radio education. Let’s give to the solution of the problem our alertness, our best thought, and our concerted effort.
