In this sense, news- pers, magazines and journals, travel, ibraries, museums and other enlight- ening agencies are educational. In restricted meaning of the term, educa- tion signifies formalized instruction and professionalized processes with pur- poseful and sustained effort. Usually class room instruction within elemen- tary or secondary schools or within col- leges and universities, under traine teaghers, is implied. Important Contributions Made. If we consider education in the first sense, radio is unquestionably making important contributions. Its present value in organized class room instruc- tion is problematical. But whatever its present status may be, the ultimate ex- tent and nature of its value in all forms of education are of great im- portance and interest, first, because radio is s0 rapidly beeomln!“-n accepted of every one’s dail & mm the public des! the utilisa- tion for its pu of every important discovery and invention. ‘That radio is being utilized educational purposes is we examine struction or information on the subject of interest.
