Review of Local Broadcasts to Schools

Abstract

Reviews the book, Local Broadcasts to Schools , edited by Irvin Stewart (1939). In this book Mr. Stewart presents reports of the experiences of six representative cities in presenting local broadcasts to schools. The editor states that the report is intended primarily for the use of school administrators in cities in which broadcast stations are located in the preparation and use of programs presented specifically for the local schools. It is evident that there is definite interest in the field of educational broadcasting, and that this educational method is being tried in several school systems. This first accumulated report of systems of local broadcasting to schools is an instrument by which we can readily compare the results obtained in these systems with the theories and aspirations of those working in the educational field. It summarizes the progress to date and shows rather clearly the status of local broadcasting, at the same time making clear the problems which must be met and solved as further progress is made.
