Inside TV: Tele-Visual Education A Worthy Philanthropy By EVE STA&R TELETORIAL: We're too materialistic ?╟?__^_M___ I Here we have the new miracle-medium of television already at a high'level of efficiency. But what are the networks doing with their wonderful toy to aid humanity? Comparatively little. Why, for instance, is almost nothing done in the line of visual education? The reason, real istically but un-admirably, is that the venture would be unprofitable to its backers. Recently, it was disclosed that | motion pictures shown in India | were providing the fastest approach to overcoming illiter- a c y. Although global TV is in the distant future, think what i a proper ap- proach to constructive visual edu- j cation programs on TV could do for the illiterates in this country. 1 Many who find it hard to learn 1 frcm textbooks could learn faster by exposure to a regular TV education series. Visual education, it was learned during the recent war, was the most effective form of ' instruction among the GIs. The results were astounding, and many schools since then have broadened their educational program to include visual teaching. There are those who argue that the aver^p! viewer won't accept visual TV?╟÷all he wants' is entertainment. This cah easily be overcome by allotting certain networks or channels to visual education, so that the home viewer has his choice of education or entertainment thing worthwhile,"beyond, the call ot duty." As for the pr^fiW^nWrihe networks and agencies should be able to dream up an angleJ It's their specialty. PROFILE r Paul Whiternan. The popular "dean" of band leaders is adored by a score of teen-agers, whose big chance came when Whiternan, through his TV show, gave them a buildup and a chance to show what they could do.

Paul's "hobby" of helping teenagers get started is his contribution toward combating juvenile delinquency. When not touring, Paul lives on his 640-acre farm in Lamb- erville, N.
