FCO Chairman Paul A. Walker oh'"The Job Ahead for Educational TV." Following are some of Commissioner Walker's remarks: Meet Here to learn How to Build and Operate Stations "For the first time in the history, of television, we have here a national meeting of educators called not to consider whether they should build educational tele¬ vision stations or if. they can build stations, but to study how to build and how to operate educational television stations. ... : Need to Do Careful Job With Form 301 "The novice in these matters may find it hard to believe, but I assure you there is a very good reason for all’the questions on Form 301* Our experience is that when a school,files an application, it is anxious to get action from the Commis¬ sion forthwith.

And thus, the creative work that you >" are soon to be launched on will enrich the whole fabric of American television broadcasting. ... , "You are preparing to use the mighty power of;television to help correct weak¬ nesses in our educational system--weaknesses which are among.the most glaring in our society. • "You are stepping up your attack on these problems through television under the pressure of the world crisis which demands immediate strengthening of our democracy. ■' "First, there is the: insistent challenge .of illiteracy. . . .
