•3 O r^ i r' r BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING AT BATTLE CREEK The NAEB Board of Directors met May 23-21* in the Board Room of the W* K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan* This was fitting in that the main business of the meeting was a review of the first year of operation under the Kellogg Grant* The meeting at Battle Creek also offered the Board an opportunity to learn at some length of the operation of the W. K* Kellogg Foundation. Under the direction of Mr. Robert VanDuyn, Associate Director, Division of Education, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the following members of the Foundation staff told the history and philosophy of the Foundation t Dr* Benjamin Horning, Director of the International Division, explained the operation of his division, with special emphasis on aid to Latin American countries* Dr. Matthew Kinde, Director of the Division of Medicine and Public Health, explained the four general principles of the Foundations (a) Kellogg is not a research founda¬ tion; (b) limits itself to the application of knowledge; (c) its interests are more rural than urban; and (d) since Mr. Kellogg was deeply interested in children, the Foundation also reflects this interest* Miss Amy Viglione, Associate Director of the Division of Nursing, explained the Foundations two interests in the fields of (a) nursing service administration, and (b) practical nurse training* Dr. Andrew Pattullo, Director of the Division of Hospitals, described the growth of the training program for hospital administrators from one course at the University of Chicago in 193U to fifteen academic programs at present, six of which were assisted by the Kellogg Foundation* The operations of NAEB under the Kellogg Foundation during the present year were thoroughly and frankly discussed by the Board with members of the Kellogg staff and with Dean Wilbur Schramm of the University of Illinois. Plans were made for a report to the Foundation on the first year f s operations, to be made to the Founda¬ tion before July. The Board decided that the Foundation Adult Education programs on Jefferson and Russia be released September lf>, 19E>2, and that the series on "Ways of Mankind" be released November l£, 19^2. * The consensus of the Board was that the FAE programs be distributed by tape to the NAEB network, and that the stations could keep the programs and pay for them, or replace the tape. It was also approved that the FAE programs be distributed to comrrercial stations on tape at a fixed fee to be determined by headquarters. The Executive Director, James Miles, reported on the plan for headquarters for 19^2- £3# It is hoped that packages seven and eight will be the last ones to be distrib¬ uted by the present "bicycle" method, as the mass duplication is to be in operation sometime in July* He also reported on the School Broadcasting Seminar to be held at Allerton House June V~> through June 2£, which will include some twenty-one school broadcasters under the guidance of H. B. McCarty, I. Keith Tyler, and James Mac- andrew. Dick Hull, Director of Region IV, told of the television workshop to be held in August at Iowa State College. The Junto Schools, Philadelphia, Pa., were accepted as associate members and the Uni¬ versity of Houston, Texas, operators of station KUHF, were accepted as active members*
