By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.
\ \ AYBE it isn't favorite, nev.
Mu ertheless, there's always some
listener chagrin when an
item previously announced
for broadcasting doen't come on the
air for one reason or another. For
instance, one gets set to hear a half
hour of entertainment which looked
particularly good in the published
program schedule. Then, out of the
loud speaker comes:
The program originally scheduled
for this time will not be hearo. In
its place
There follows something altogether
different. Nine times out of ZEN the
chagrin is sufficient to cause the
listener either to switch statiO,.s for
a program that does follow the sched-
ule or to turn of the set. Sometimes
he even vents his wrath in a letter
to the broadcaster.
In radio parlance they call these
changes "last-minute corrections. !"
For the most part they come sitter
advance programs have been given
out for publication and too late for
the changes to be announced other
than briefly over the microphone. At
that, program alterations are Just as
much Of a bane to the broadcaster as
they may be to the invisible audience.
They keep him In q constant dither,
for he says the more changes he must
make the tougher his Job.
MANY are the motivating reasons
for the corrections. There's the
human desire always to have some-
thing little better or different. that
often produces corrections within a
program, musical numbers and the
like. Similar Is the motive behind
the replacement of complete pro-
grams. The broadcaster is of the be-
lief that the substitute Is step for
ward, or he has been forced to change
because of the human element. St-
cial happenings occasion corrections
frequently. There have been cases
where bought-and-paid-for programs
have been cancelled at the last minute
for them.
Requests for time by important
speakers, not always received far
enough ahead to announce in ad-
vance, produce their share Of altera-
tions.
For one thing. though. the broad
caster as a rule doesn't have the
same 'deadline" that a newspaper
adheres to. That's the time of day
when nothing else can be put in the
current issue If the paper is to go to
press on time. Thus the comment:
I'VE broadcasters can't ever be abso-
lutely certain all Of our programs will
be exactly as scheduled until after
the sign-off."
Evening star., 1938-02-06

Guilty can be overcome, however, by
persuading manufacturers of radio
sets to include the 4l-megacycle band
in their product and by convincing
the public that it will be worth while
to install at small cost the necessary
coils IN their present receivers.
In hailing the allotment of the 25
channels to educators, DR.. John w.
Studebaker, Federal commissioner of
education. voiced the delight of the
entire profession when he said great
challenge has been presented which
he believes will be met. Results will
be just as revolutionary as the inven.
ton Of the printing press, he prophe.
sled. DR.. Studebaker is chairman Of
the Federal Radio Education Com
mlttee, which was organized in 1886
after a series Of hearings before the
F. c. c.
WHILE plans for the new educa.
tional stations still are far from,
fruition, he pointed out that the fire.
quencles will be boon to isolated
rural schools, since county or district
supervisors will be able to keep in
constant touch with all schools and
the school curricula will be greatly
enriched through radio programs. DR.,
Studebaker voiced the opinion that the
stations will have a serviceable radius
Of only 5 to IS miles from the trans.
mltter, although local conditions will
play an important part in the ex.
tent OF the service area as we'll as the
constant Improvements in transmit.
tiers and receivers.
He observed that under the broad
charter given the new stations, it is
easy to anticipate not only a major
step forward In the education of chill.
dren, but also programs for adult edu.
cation far ahead Of anything now ex.
listing. He prophesied programs in.
volving discussions of civic and so.
cial problems, requiring more time
than can be obtained under present
schedules of broadcast stations and
networks. In addition. choice hours
will be available on frequency
stations. Already, the Office of edu.
cation is collecting data to help edu.
cational organizations in applying for
frequencies and to supply advice on
equipment, personnel and program
problems.
In the past, educators have made
frequent complaints that their broad
casts were full of information, but
generally devoid Of human interest.
Realizing that they must get and hold
the publics attention. educators have
been taking advantage of the help
offered by network and station ex-
perts, with conspicuous improve
ment in program standards. For two
years number of experiments have
been under way with the help Of
Works Progress Administration funds,
particularly in New York City and
Washington. with the Federal Office
OF Education taking an active part.
Some two dozen educational insti.
tutions. mostly colleges, now operate

cases, years Of haranguing. Their
stations, Of course, will be entirely
nom commercial.
Since the educators channels are
designed for purely local use, it will
be possible for every city and county
in the Nation to have its own educa-
tional radio station. In most cases
they will not even have Statewide
coverage, since ultra-high signals do
not reach that far at the present
stage of radio progress. Federal Of
ficials believe, however, that technical
progress is 80 rapid that marked
improvement in coverage will occur
in the near future. The grant of 25
frequencies comes at a time when
interest in educational broadcasts is at
peak. Commercial broadcast sta
tions and networks have been taking
growing interest in instructive pro-
grams and have been cooperating
with educators by offering them
frequent and desirable periods during
which they may broadcast.
National Broadcasting Co. has ap-
pointed its educational counselor,
DR.. James Rowland Angel, former
president Of Yale, to its board of
directors. DR.. Angel assumed his
network post some months ago and
has been spending much of his time
supplementing his educational back
ground with knowledge gained through
actual broadcasting experience under
the expert guidance of network pro-
grammers. N. B. c., of course, MAIN
tains an extensive list of educational
programs, including the musical series
Of Dr. Walter Damrosch, required
listening in countless thousands of
schools every Friday.
UMBIA BROADCAST1NG
SYSTEM is entering a new peda-
gogical field with its adult education
