Get By Goose as drawn by a youthful KDKA listener. The Goose is a popular figure among Philadelphia youngsters.
One of the most popular personalities of KDKA's weekday School of the Air series which provides in-school listening for boys and girls in more than 2,700 classrooms in the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia area, isn't a person, nor is it "The Thing" — it's Get By Goose, a figment of the imagination of Vickie Corey, educational director of the World's Pioneer Radio Station.
For this year's educational series Mrs. Corey wanted a character to tell children what not to do. After much study and research she decided that something ought to be done about the youngsters — and adults too, for that matter — who are satisfied just to "get by." Folk lore has always pictured the goose as a silly thing, and by combining the two ideas, she came up with Get By Goo^e.
And it has paid off! School children throughout KDKA's vast area have taken to the idea with such enthusiasm that they now write hundreds of letters to Get By Goose telling him what not to do, and what he should do.
"Get By Goose" is a feature of the Monday morning broadcast for intermediate grades. Tuesday, Adventures in Research is broadcast for junior and senior high students; Wednesday, a music series is presented for upper elementary grades and junior high students; Thursday, a nature study program is aimed for intermediate grades and Friday is devoted to current events for upper elementary grades, junior and senior high schools.
The KDKA School of the Air programs are produced by the station as a public service for the advancement of education and the promotion of good citizenship under the direction of Mrs. Corey and Andrew J. Miller, assistant director of research of the Pittsburgh Public Schools.
Its advisory committee is made up of heads of public, private and parochial schools, leaders of parent-teacher groups and officials of the Pennsylvania Education Association.
Education director Victoria Corey' .is responsible for The Goose — he illustrates the day's story as sung by Slim Bryant.
