NAEB NEWS LETTER...March 1, 1940...Page 6 (parent education) and many others* Scripts of programs now on the air will eventually be placed in the Script Exchange. A new catalog listing more than 500 available scripts may b© obtained by writing to the Script Exchange, U. S. Office of Education, Washington, D.C. (100 per copy). One illustration of the use made by schools of Exchange scripts is the series broadcast by the District of Columbia Board of Education. Pacing the work of the junior high school curriculum, the Board of Education broadcasts scripts from the loan collection. Programs were available through the Exchange on nearly every subject touched by the District of Columbia curriculum. To help in the production of its scripts over local stations, the Script Exchange publishes a Radio Manual, a Handbook of Sound Effects, and a Glossary of Radio Terms. Acting as a clearing house of information on radio, the Script Exchange answers scores of inquiries each week and makes surveys of trends and activities in radio education. Through one of its newer services, the Exchange aids schools inter* ested in the use of recordings. Now available are 24 recordings of the AMERICANS ALL — IMMIGRANTS ALL series, named the outstanding dramatic radio series of 1939 by the Women’s National Radio Committee and the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary. Suggestions on how these recordings may be used in the school and community are published in a Manual supplied free with the recordings. Additional background facts on how democracy flourished because of the gifts of many races and peoples —* theme of AMERICANS ALL — IMMIGRANTS ALL — are contained in a Handbook for Listeners. This handbook is also free with the purchase of recordings. For complete information write to the Script Exchange, U. S. Office of Education, Washington, D.C. When the Radio Division demonstrated that large audiences are avail¬ able for educational radio, Commissioner of Education Studebaker suggested to the Federal Communications Commission the reservation of a band of ultra-high frequencies for the exclusive use of educational agencies. As a result, the Federal Communications Commission established a "class of high frequency broadcast stations to be licensed to organized non-profit educational agencies." The U.S. Office of Education is now assisting school systems and colleges in making applications for these frequencies and supplies advice dm problems of equipment, personnel and programming. A free bulletin. Ultra-high Frequency Educational .broadcast Stations , gives detailed information on the value, nature, and methods of operation of a school-owned broadcasting station* In 14 communities in all parts of the country, Educational Kadio Projects operate with the assistance of the U.S. uffice of Education. These cooperative enterprises are responsible for local Schools of the Air, educational programs and scripts which enrich school courses of study. Funds for this work come from W.P.A. allocations made by President Roosevelt to the U. a. uffice of Education to "demonstrate the use of radio in education.”
