Radio Programs for Schools Volume One

Here is a series of radio scripts which have been successfully broadcast by the School of the Air at KWSC, Pullman, Washington. In response to the expressed desire of educators, the complete edition is now being published, so that the printed edition may be put into the hands of those teachers whose classes listened to the broadcasts. But the clever teacher will find many uses for this book. It is a text dealing with the problems met by high school youngsters during their school lives. Technically, it can be called a text on high school etiquette, and should be useful as a basal text or as supplementary material for classes in social contacts. For those schools with public address systems, this should supply excellent materials for all-school broadcasts. The series is written in such a manner that it provides entertainment as well as education. Classes in public speaking could use the scripts in their daily work; radio speaking is no longer an art of the future -- it is useful now. Study of this sort, with technically correct radio scripts as a text, is invaluable. It should be remembered that radio scripts should be heard, rather than read. If these are read and studied as a text, the students should try to imagine that they hear the words rather than see them. Radio plays are written as though the audience were totally blind. This book has been written about high school people, for people of junior and senior high school age. And to them, with the hope that they will enjoy it, I present "Bob and Mom," a series dealing with the problems met by the average high school boy during his school life. - The Author - Introduction.
