States education in his most re
cent book, “Crisis in Education,”

the job; the truth is that the job,
ridiculously expanded, has fallen
down onto them.”

Ed Commission
Needs Stated
By TV institute
The need for a national commis
sion for educational television and
expansion of the American Coun
cil on Education’s joint commis
sion on television was. expressed
at the closing session of the Edu
cational Television Institute.
The need for central production
and distribution .agencies that
would be able to make available
high quality programs that indi
vidual stations would not be able
to produce was also recognized
by the educators.
Dr. Arthur S.'Adams, president
of the .American Council on Edu
cation, said “Such a commission
could be of great help to colleges
and universities planning tele
vision stations. It would be par
ticularly helpful in the matter of
programming, in arranging, fi
nancing, and in polling public
opinion.”
The- conference also discussed
the need for an exchange system
so that quality of programs pro
duced at' one station would be
available at other stations. 1
In order to bring about a better
understanding of educational
television as a tool of education,
the conferees agreed generally on
the need for research and experi
mentation in the field.
Cranberries are native to
America, thej-first planting being
in Massachusetts in 1800.
