(AP Wirephoto) Education TV Gets Trial in Galveston GALVESTON (/P)—A new ap proach to educational television usage beamed over a technically new kind of electronics equipment was switched into action in public elementary schools here recently. American educators already are eyeing both the new educational approach and the equipment tech niques, according to Jim Hardie, supervisor of the instructional re sources department for Galveston Public Schools. Hardie said the venture could erase some of the major snags which have plagued educational television since its inception in Philadelphia in 1948. Actual usage of the system dif fers from the usual iron-clad scheduled courses set for specific times in specific grades in that presentations are requested from the teacher to supplement needs of the students. Using Phonoscopes Instead of the one-way TV set, the Galveston system is using Phonoscopes, a two-way audio and visual communication link tied in with coaxial cables with which it is possible to tie in each of the 11 phonoscopes in the eight ele mentary schools for one session. The entire system is easily op erated through a specially designed switchboard. Hardie said it is possible that four of the top problems of edu cational television being experi enced in the nation today could be solved with Phonoscope. These problems are the high cost of in stallation and operation, the need for trained technical personnel, the limitations of one-way communica tion and the rigidity of scheduling of televised presentations. High Costs Absorbed The high cost of installation and operation was absorbed by Phono scope, Inc., which is organized as a utility service for the city of Galveston. The organization ar ranged a first-year tariff-free con tract with the schools for their evaluation, and has offered a fee of $14,000 next year for equipment rental. Phonoscope will maintain and service all equipment, and, as newly designed equipment is man ufactured, it will be installed. This eliminates the need for a large capital investment on the part of the schools for equipment which becomes obsolete all too quickly. Another TV problem has been that one-way communication does not allow the student to ask an on-the-spot question. Phonoscope provides two-way communication with both picture and sound. Thus, if a student wants to ask a ques tion, he can, while the person mak ing the presentation can both see and hear the student. May Solve Scheduling Rigidity of scheduling, the big gest problem of all, certainly may be solved with Phonoscope, Hardie hopes. “Until now, if a televised pre sentation was made to a fourth grade, all fourth graders had to be halted in whatever it was they were doing and made to switch to the TV screen,” Hardie commented. “This makes no allowance for individual class differences or for the need of the child.” He repeatedly stressed this first year is being approached “with an open mind- to see exactly what it can or cannot accomplish.” He called this kind of television “an additional tool, providing op portunities for learning that other wise could not be available,” stressing, “we do not see educa tional television as replacing class room teachers, textbooks or any change in our present strong em phasis of meeting the needs of the individual child.” No Ratio Change Hardie said there is no change in the present pupil-per-teacher ratio. In some school systems edu cational television has occasioned such a change. Technically, Phonoscope is a combination small television cam era and receiver built together, easily portable, with a standard 21-inch screen. The camera is made to operate efficiently in nor mal indoor room lighting. The flexibility of the presenta tions, the majority of which will be in classrooms, means a small inexpensive central studio for dem onstrations is all that will be needed, Hardie commented, adding “we do not need the large expen sive studio set-up used in the ma jority of educational television.” A room has been set aside in the central administration building for this studio. Hardie commended Supt. Dr. Morgan Evans for “encouragement with the idea of using television as an aid, not as a replacement.” Milton L.

Adv. paid for by friends) Schriever, Teague Meet in Congress WASHINGTON (A>) — A con gressional hearing gave a pair of Texas Aggie grads an opportunity to swap tales of their college days. The get-together took place when Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriev- er, head of the Air Force’s Re search and Development Command, testified before the House Space Committee of which Rep. Olin E. (Tiger) Teague (D-Tex) is a mem ber. Schriever was graduated from A&M in 1931 and Teague in 1932. Schriever, a field artillery re servist, entered active duty upon getting his B.S. degree in mechan ical engineering. He became a pi lot after training at Randolph and Kelly fields in San Antonio. Ad- Miss Kasner Of Secretaries Miss Alma Kasner, secretary to Sid Loveless of the American General Life Insurance Company, was elected President .of the Bryan- College Station Chapter of the National Secretaries' Association (International) ai the business meeting held at the I’riangle Res- tauraiit this week.. vance studies later made him an authority in aeronautical engi neering. Schriever, who calls San An tonio his home, was born Sept. 14, 1910, in Bremen, Germany. He moved with his parents to Texas in 1917 and became a naturalized citizen in 1923. He is married and has three children. After bomber pilot service with the Army Air Corps in California and the Panama Canal Zone, Schriever left the military in 1937 to become a pilot for Northwest Airlines. He returned to the Air Corps the next year as a second lieutenant with the 7th Bomber Group in Hamilton Field, Calif. A year later he went to Wright Field, Ohio, for test pilot duty, and attended an engineering school there. Schriever then was as signed to take advanced studies at Stanford University and earned a masters in mechanical engineer ing, specializing in aeronautical matters, in June, 1942. From July of the next yehr throughout World War II, Schriev er saw duty at bases in the Pa cific, and was wounded in action. Early in the 1950’s the Defense Department began to concentrate, on missile development, and ■; Schriever began his climb to the top. He is credited more than any other individual with the de velopment .of the Atlas, Titan,: Thor and Minute Man missiles. , Miss Kasner will take office on June 1. Serving with her will be Mrs. Mary Beth Gandy as Vice President, Mrs. Lily Watson as Recording Secretary, Mrs. Ruby Dishman as Corresponding Secre tary and Mrs. Patsy Wilson as Treasurer. Installation will be done by officers of the Houston Chapter of NS A, since? they chartered the Bryan-College Station Chapter five years ago this May. The chapter voted to send a delegate and alternate to the Texas-Louisiana Division meeting to be held in Mineral Wells on May 20 through 22. Mrs. Margaret Coleman, president, and Alma Kasner, vice president, will be the delegate and alternate. Mrs. LaJuan Joyer auctioneered an enthusiastic White Elephant Sale following the regular busi ness meeting. TURNESA SCORES WOODMERE, N.Y. (5*) — Jim Turnesa, former PGA champion, won the Metropolitan Open golf crown with a score of 286 for 72 holes. The pro from Elmsford, N. Y., beat out Shelley Mayfield of Meadow Brook at Jericho, N.Y., by one stroke. Mayfield had a chance to tie on the final hole but his attempt to sink a 10-foot putt just missed the cup.
