Abstract
AS Sir Henry Richards points out in a foreword to this volume, the publication of this “first considerable contribution” on the subject of school broadcasting requires neither apology nor explanation. Much has happened since the Carnegie Trustees undertook that pioneer investigation into the possibilities of broadcasts to schools, the results of which were made available in 1928 in “Educational Broadcasting: a Report of a Special Investigation in Kent”. That progress should have been so rapid in the past twenty years is the more surprising when “the sceptical though benevolent neutrality” which, characterized the attitude of educationists in the early twenties is recalled.
