C. and its educational representative, and by Levering Tyson, director of the National Advisory Council and formerly head of the Home Study Department of Columbia University.

"The Council Is the first educational group to approach radio with a comprehensive plan," Elwood said. Although there has been much dis- cusslnn this Is the first organised r.rtin "Since the birth of broadcasting much has been said concerning the part radio should play in education. In recent years a number of experiments have been made by Individual stations, but no conclusive evaluation of tht results has been obtained." Elwood added. "With the exception of one or two programs, such as the N. B.

C. Music Appreciation Hour and tht Standard School broadcasts on the Pacific Coast, no experiment has satisfactorily demonstrated the educational possibilities of broadcasting. "Two years ago tha American Association for Adult Education had a study made, under the direction of Levering Tyson, of radio broad casting in adult education. This report created a great deal of in terest In educational circlea and led to the formation by educators and others Interested In education of the National Advisory Council on Radio in Education. "The council now has requested us to give time over a national net work and we have accordingly set it aside, welcoming the opportunity, Elwood said these programs represent the results of the council's studies to date In the college and adult educational field and that It was hoped that the council would continue ita studies In the second ary educational field to tht end that it would either Inaugurate a series of programs itself or approve programs In this field as presented by Director Tyson of the council.

In tracing the history of IU work now crystallizing, said: "Assurances from the broadcasting Industry that facilities will ba made available aa soon as representative educators devise programs that sre both educationally sound and adapted to the peculiar de msnrts of broadcasting, convinced the members of the New York conference (of tha American Association for Adult Education that tht time has come to consider seriously the organization of some representative group to deal with the question of radio education. The conclusion rcsched wti that this proponed agency should take the form of the National Advisory Council on Radio In Education. Every resource of the organised educational world should- be enlisted to meet the amsrlng challenge that broadcasting hurls modern society. Only through eonslatient study radiolators.
