NAEB NEWS LETTER. . Jen . 1, 1940.... .page 4 Our bulletin for the second semester, copies of which will be sent you as soon as they come off the press, outlines sixteen School of the Air programs for the second semester. Although our isolated situation does not permit us to brag about huge numbers of enrollees as you blessed middle westerners can, we have increased our enroll¬ ment approximately three hundred percent over last year, which is gratifying to us. Programs which will be continued from the first semester are: American Wildlife, High School Science, What’s News, High School Horae Economics, Land of Make-Believe, Let’s Sing, Mr. Georgraphy, The Drama of Amerioan History, ISusio Appreciation, and Plays in Miniature. New Offerings include one vocational guidanoe program, one panoramic review of American literature, and M our state", which is self-explanatory. In addition to these regular broadcasts to the classroom, there is evidenced a growth of interest in the station by various departments of the college. For instance the Speech Department is responsible for a half-hour roundtable once a week, as is the Department of Sociology and Political Science. The Graduate School of Sooial Work presents a weekly drama under the general heading, "The Newest Frontier of Human Knowledge". The School of Religion offers a half-hour weekly "History of Religion", and the English Department gives three weekly programs. One new program will oh is not being publicized in the School of the Air bulletin is a Smith-Hughes agricultural series. As in several previous school programs, this is being produced experimentally for one semester before being offered to all of the schools. We have a set of sixteen scripts on high school etiquette called "Bob and Mom", dealing with a series of situations such as must be met by the average high school student. Most of these scripts have worked out very well. If any members of the N.A.E.B, would like to read a couple of these with possible production in mind, we should be glad to furnish them. If, after perusal, the entire series is desired, it will be available. Of course, we’re as poor as the proverbial church mouse, so the cost of mimeographing and mailing would have to be taken ©are of at the other end of the line. Incidentally, this offer holds for any of our programs in which anyone might be interested. Any similar kind offers? M. Reid White
