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

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

ticipating schools throughout
an area including parts of six
states: Illinois, Indiana, Ken

Wisconsin.
No single ground antenna
could do this.

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,"
