Abstract
IN “The Art of Teaching by Radio”, Bulletin No. 4 of 1933, the United States Office of Education has published a report intended to serve as a manual for those who aspire to broadcast the seed of learning. That their number in the United States is large may be inferred from the fact that specialists in education by radio are employed on the staff of the Office of Education. It is indeed the senior member of this specialist staff who is responsible for the report, which is based on a very elaborate investigation conducted with the help of some hundreds of transmitting stations, the Association of College and University Stations, the National Association of Broadcasters, and other representatives of radio and educational interests. It expresses a consensus of opinion among experts as to the best technique for preparing, advertising and transmitting educational programmes and as to preparing the ground for their reception by providing supplementary aids for listeners. Appended to it is a bibliography comprising ninety-one items, about a third of which have a European (chiefly British) origin. It is a convenient summary, well adapted to serve its purpose. Special sections deal with music, the drama, debates and dialogues.
