Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. Educational Television Expanding By HARRY MILLICAN United Press International New York - IUPII - To many adults, educatlonnl television is a rare and appreciated chance to see and hear pro grams aimed at a mental age above 12. To others, it is an opportu nity to do post-graduate stud ies or to mend the gaps in a fragmentary education. To increasing numbers of school and college-age young sters it is an actual part of school and campus study, or a chance to obtain classes for credit at home. And to administrators of overtaxed educational institu tions, educational television is offering more and more hope of increased efficiency in us ing to the utmost the abilities of able. teachers. It can be a partial solution to crowded classrooms, lack of schools and the continuing shortage ot qualified teachers. Number Fifty The Federal Communlea tions commission began au. thorizlng educational televl sion stations in 1052. They now number 50-and 48 are affiliated with a national net work, ."National Educational Television," known to TV peo ple at "NET, and operated on a nonprofit basis. NET is not linked by wire for live broadcasts, but its af filiates all receive the same carefully-prepared video tapes on educational subjects to sup plement their own projects, some of which, If deemed na tionally interesting, are par tially financed by NET and go into the exchange. Through Its affiliated sta tions NET hns a potentlnl au dience of about 70 million and estimates that some 20 million persons are regular viewers. It has an executive office in New York, but its shipping de partment and copying facili ties are still in, Ann Arbor, Mich., where It was born. Many Fields . NET deals exclusively with educatlonnl programs cover tng science, the humanities art, drama and public events, leaving classes for school or college credit entirely to the individual stations. It does, however, distribute such scho lastic course tapes between Us affiliates on request. A new organization, the "Learning Resources 1 n s 1 1- lute," with headquarters In New York, has been formed to deal with college courses for credit. The institute estimates that during the 1958-50 school year, 569 public school sys tems and 117 colleges and uni versities in America used tele vision for direct instruction in regular courses Involving more than 500,00 school chil dren and 100,000 college students. Dr. John W. Taylor, former acting director of UNESCO, who is on temporary leave from his present post as direc tor of Chicago's educational station WTTV to get the Insti tute's program organized, said there is no doubt that TV classes are 'successful, effi cient, needed and bound to increase. Methods New "Let's face it," he said in an Interview, "there's no doubt about our population explo sion. It has happened. It has doubled the number of our students. We simply can't con tlnue to educate by the old methods. We can't afford the old standard of one teacher to each 20 or 25 students. "We can't get enough quali fied teachers and we can't af ford to pay them properly. Business and industry, which can afford to pay them, is tak ing our prospective young teachers away from us. We have got to find a way to in crease the productivity of our teachers just as industry did with its workers. "We must completely reor ganize our teaching concepts and methods. It has been ob vious for the past five or six years that teaching, for lec ture and demonstration pur poses, is Just as good by TV as in the classroom. It is per fectly satisfactory for every subject that Is taught by lec ture and demonstration. One teacher, instead of lec turing or demonstrating to 25 or 30 students, can perform the same task for hundreds si multaneously. The time thus saved can be utilized for dis cussions, where needed, with small groups of the students, perhaps as few as three or four, "We have long since tried to give the teacher more time to teach by utilizing teacher's helpers for various tasks In cluding the tedious chore of grading papers or, In the case of small children, helping Social Events Mobilia' Dictates Era Of Light and Airy Look ...

It certainly doesn't take a university degree to do this. Television is a step farther in the same direction." Educational TV, Taylor said, is even taking to the skies. In an experiment known as the Midwest Program on Air borne Television Instruction," educational programs will bo broadcast over two channels from an airplane flying at a high altitude over north-central Indiana. They will be received on TV sets in classrooms of par ticipating schools throughout an area including parts of six states: Illinois, Indiana, Ken tucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Bv GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Copenhagen, Denmark -TO One expert on design sees the era of the light and airy look to home furnishings going on and on prodded constantly by a contagion he called "mobilia." Mobilia seems the best word to describe the way the world lives today," said En Lassen, curator of the Arts of Denmark Exhibition which soon will open in the United States. Everyone is on the move, he said, In an interview. "Think of the hours a family in the Western World lives in the car alone. Or tent, or trailer. We have portable ra dio and television. We move the dining room outdoors. We use paper dishes. We park the automobile now as the horse once was tethered. Mobile Society Mobility is the force today. People didn't move around as much in the 19th century. "Heavy furnishings have no place in the modern scheme of things. ' Lassen, on leave for the last year from the Danish Mu seum of Decorative Arts, helped assemble the exhibit of treasures, arts and crafts which will open at the Metro politan Museum of Art in New York October 15. The exhibit is one of a se ries of events focusing on the relations between the Danes and Americans. Its honorary patrons are President Eisen hower and King Frederik who with Queen Ingrid will visit the United States Octo ber 4-17 Theirs will be the first state visit by reigning Danish mon- archs and the couple will stop in Los Angeles, San Fran Cisco, Chicago, Washington and New York. Lassen said that the exhi bition will remain at the Met ropolitan through January 8, 1961, and then will tour other major United States museums, It will include Danish arts and crafts from the Stone Age about 4,000 B.C. to the present. The curator said most of the antiquities are on loan from museums "there are few held by private collec tors," he explained, "because we have a law that anything if it's older than belongs to tha discovered, 100 years, state." Founders of Modern Line .The Danes are justly proud of their arts and crafts, haye a permanent exhibit to show off, and sell, contemporary de signs in silver, glass, porce lain, wood and textiles, and could, if they wanted, take credit along with the Swedes for introducing modern design for homes everywhere. The phrase Danish Modern gets tossed around in home furnishings talk as frequently as Christian Dior does in fashion. Its characteristics aro simplicity of line, coupled with a lot of function. "Modern, though, is a la bel," said Lassen. "And one which could have been ap plied to many Danish designs of the 18th century. "As a mater of fact," he smiled, "there wasn't much rococo in the stone age either," Come In and Register For the GRAND OPENING Sept. 22, 23, 24 More Than $2,500.00 IN GIFTS All yoy have to do is come - in and register to be eligible to win 218 EAST MAIN SAVE nit MACK THE KNirE Ella In Berlin. s 2. -Mm SACK TO BACK Duke ENInrton & eii7.
