 Because it demands what Variety Magazine called "a rare flair for reducing the scientifically compli- cated for popular digestion" "The Human Adventure" is one of the most difficult of all radio programs to write. It must live up to its twin watchwords: ''best educational pro- gram on the air" as cited in it's 1914 Peabody award and good radio" at all costs. In spite of this, "Hu- man Adventure" has found unex- pected sources of topical and script material in the person of science teachers and educators from all over the country, who have a bent for radio writing and who voluntarily submit scripts to the program. One teacher in met ropolitan schools, for example. has already seen one of his scripts &C., tually broadcast, and he is work ing on others "The Human Adven- ture" is heard each Wednesday night at 1000 p. m. on WNLC, presented by the Mutual Broadcast ing System, in collaboration with the University of Chicago.
