Television in education

Educational television has made great strides in the five years which have elapsed since the Federal Communications Commission set aside television channels for the exclusive use of education. Such stations are located in 29 communities of the United States, representing large cities, university centers and, in several instances, serving entire States through multiple stations or multiple studios. The investment in educational television now totals over fifty million dollars.
