FEDERAL RADIO EDUCATION COMMITTEE The first meeting of the Federal Radio Education Committee, on which our Asso¬ ciation is represented by President McCarty, was hold in Yfashington on February 17 and 18, As you know, the committee was authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to: 1, Eliminate controversy and misunderstanding between groups of educators and between the industry and educators, 2, Promote actual cooperative arrangements between educators and broadcas¬ ters on national, rogional, and local bases* Of the 40 members of the committee, the following wore in attendance during the two day session: (There may have boon two or three others not listed.) John W* Studobakcr, Chairman Waldo Abbott Jamc s W* Baldwin Edgar Bill Morse A* Cartwright W*W* Charters Harry W.

Waller Frederick A* Willis With such diversity of radio experience and opinion among its members, it is only natural that the committee’s approach to its problems should be general and deliberate. For the most part, discussion centered around a number of research projects recommended as necessary background to specific action* Some of the projects proposed a survey of successful local commercial radio stations, survey of successful radio stations owned by colleges or universities, study of use of radio by state departments of education, experimentation in the presentation and evaluation of broadcasts for school use, fellowships to study techniques of successful broadcasts, job analysis of elements of program building and broadcasting, and survey of teacher training courses. So far, no funds are available to finance those studies or others to be decided upon, but the committee as a whole felt the need for such research and approved the general plan. As usual, and as to be expected perhaps, no agreement was reached on a defini¬ tion of educational broadcasting. Formulation of such a definition is planned, for guidance of the committee in future deliberations. In the course of discussion there was the familiar and no doubt deserved criticism of educators generally that they have been indifferent, lacking in initiative and imagination in the use of radio. The committee favored the investigation of successful techniques which have boon developed so that such advancements might be more wide-spread. (cont. next page)
