New TV Series
"The School Story"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — The
National Education Association,
in company with 50 affiliated
state education associations, en
tered the television field this
month with a new 13-week series
of half-hour films entitled “The
School Story.”
According to William G. Garr,
executive secretary of NEA, this
expansion of the Association’s
public service television program
ing marks the first time that a
national non-commercial televi
sion series has been “built around
the problems, aims, and achieve
ments of education in this coun
try.”
“The School Story” will be
available to television stations in
261 major TV markets during the
1959-60 school year. Viewers of
the series will see many import
ant issues in education of a com
prehensive high school to the
missile laboratories of a great un
iversity.
Each affiliated state education
association will handle bookings
on TV stations in its state. It is
anticipated that most stations will
book “The School Story” once a
week for 13 weeks during the
sohotol yehr. To give the stations
maximum flexibility in bookings.
16 films have been made avail
able.
A number of agencies have co
operated with NEA on different
titles in the series. These include
Harvard University, the New
Jersey Education Association, the
Sears-Rtoebuck Foundation, the
U.S. Steel Corporation, the Univ
ersity of Oklahoma, the Walter
Reed Army Medical ‘ Center, the
Greater Washington Educational
Television Association, and sev
eral NEA departments.
Included in “The School Story”
series will be the following films:
“How Good Are Our Schools
Dr. Conant Reports,” based on the
best-selling book, The American
High School Today.
“Right Angle,” the 1959 film
produced by NEA and state af
filiated associations, which tells
how the public schools develop
children’s individual differences.
“The Big Classroom,” a new
film showing how the learn-as-
you-go approach of NEA-spon-
sored fours enables teachers to
bring back new firsthand knowl
edge to their classes.
“The Golden Key,” which re
veals the influence a teacher has
on his students. In the film, Lee
A DuBridge, president of the
California Institute of Technology
and a 1959 Golden Key award
winner, takes his former physics
teacher, O. H. Smith, through the
fabulous facilities of Caltech.
“Plan for Learning,” the story
of what happened when one com
munity needed to build a school.
“Report on Tomorrow,” which
shows how closely business ex
amines the educational facilities
of an area into which it might
expand.
“Pursuit of Wisdom,” which
shows how scholarship is nurtur
ed, and emphasizes that it must
be used to benefit mankind.
“They Grow Up So Fast,” a dra
matic episode which points up the
values of a good program of phy
sical education.
“TV: New Frontier in Learn
ing” shows how a “live” teacher
can use classroom television to
add an exciting new dimension to
education.

box Full of Dreams,” adapted
from the popular A Desk for Bil
lie: “And Gladly Teach”; “Free
dom to Learn”; “Not By Chance”;
