-3- NATTONAL COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION BY RA DIO REORGANIZED Up in front, carrying on in the cause of educational broadcasting, is a ro— organized National Committee on Education by Radio. Reaching the end of its original five-year period the National Committee is enabled, by an additional grant from the Payne Fund, to continue on a reduced operating basis for at least two years more. New headquarters in New York city, a. now secretary, new statement of purpose, and new work projects — these are the major changes. The reorganization was brought about at a meeting of the Committee in Wash— ington January 20 and 21. Our Association was represented by President McCarty. Because of the reduction in budget, it was decided to close the Washington offices and accopt the donated part-time services of S. Howard Evans of the Payne Fund as Secretary, centering activities and functions at Ono Madison Avenue, Now York City, where Mr. Evans is already located. You should hoar from tho new Secretary shortly. His first bulletin is in preparation and should reach you within a few days. Mr. Evans takes hold of the work with eagerness, insight, and ability. The National Committee is indeed for¬ tunate to have his leadership in tho enterprise which was carried forward with such determination and unflagging spirit by Tracy F. Tyler and Armstrong Perry during tho past five years. For tho present. Dr. Tylor is to continue on some special research work for tho General Education Board, and Mr. Perry, with an office in 'Washington, is busy at his writing. Tho National Committee is fortunate also in having President Arthur G. Crane of tho University of Wyoming as Chairman. Ho is giving time, energy, and his best thinking without stint. Vteth him as Chairman, and Mr. Evans as Secre¬ tary, wc may expect an abundance of activity and drive toward tho re-stated pur¬ pose of the National Committee on Education by Radio: "To promote tho use of radio for educational, cultural, and civic purposes."
