The Federal Radio Education committee, with the cooperation of the U.S* Office of Education, is endeavoring to learn through surveys how committee leaders themselves are supplying answers to this question* John W. Studebaker, U* S* Commissioner of Education and Chairman of the Federal Radio Education Committee, calls attention to a study of 63 local radio forum and discussion programs that have been broad- cast over 47 stations in 34 eomraunities throughout the United States* "The report of this survey, conducted for the Federal Radio Education Committee by Paul M* Sheats, Assistant Professor of Education, University of Wisconsin, will meet a real need in educational broadcasting," said Commissioner Studebaker* "It is my conviction that one of radio’s greatest opportunities for constructive service lies in the field of public affairs education* We still have many answers to find to the question whether, as a people, we can develop enough intellectual capacity to solve our problems democratically; that is, through the intelligent participation of the rank and file of our citizens* The answer depends in large part on the zeal and ingenuity with which station managers and educational leaders cooperatively attack the problem of mass education in public affairs via radio*” Dr 0 Sheats learned that most of the forums on the air have been initiated by radio stations,- private and public colleges and universities, boards of education, citizens’ committees, Y*M*C.A*’s, churches, service groups, and newspapers* His report reveals how radio forums are launched, how programs are planned, the development of program technique, audience relations, and listener response* "Station managers who have thought seriously about their public service responsibility In regard to treatment of current controversial issues are favorable to the forum as a pattern for their programs in this field” says Dr* Bhaats* "Few station managers, however, will embark on a series of public forums or public affairs discussions unless they can depend on a large amount of outside assistance and volunteer local leadership willing to accept responsibility for impartial, careful and skillful management of the broadcast* The trend," he points out, "may be toward the employment of full-time educational directors on the regular staffs of radio stations*”
