Title: Chicago Public Schools, Radio Council collection, ca. 1938-1945

Main entry: Chicago Public Schools. Radio Council

Size: 240 v.

Call number: PN1991.77 .A1C4 (please specify volume#)

Summary: Scripts; instructional materials; lessons in history, literature, science, Latin America and other foreign countries and languages; teacher manuals; short stories; poems; interviews; and other materials produced or adapted by the Radio Council of the Chicago public school system for broadcast over several different radio stations in Chicago. Many items are printed or mimeographed, suggesting that they were produced in multiple copies for distribution. The set includes some original art work and writings by students, but most materials were produced by teachers or other educators. Items were designed for various age groups, from kindergarten through high school (grades K-12). Topics range from regular academic studies to information about Chicagoans and about good citizenship and the home front during World War II.

Items were later grouped by the name of the program or series or topic by Chicago Public Schools staff and bound into volumes. Within each volume, materials usually are in chronological order, but the overall set is not in chronological order.

Finding aid is available online that lists volume numbers and titles plus more detailed lists of the contents of each volume (including names of people involved, dates, and radio stations on which programs were broadcast).

Related material at Chicago History Museum, Research Center, include the Vernon Boyer papers; the Carole R. Nolan papers; and other Radio Council volumes cataloged separately.

Agenda: The roving reporter reviews on electrical transcription a visit to the National
Trailways Bus Depot on the northeast side of Chicago's Loop district. It is one of the two largest of the approximately sixty intercity and inter-state bus lines entering Chicago. C. A. Tengblad, the superintendent of the depot, explains the business of the bus lines, saying that it looks like the long distance bus lines are a business with a good future. He describes qualifications of clerical people, the largest group of employees. The topic for next week will be the problem of freight.

Title: Know Your Job

Station: WBBM

Date: Thursday, Nov. 10, 1938

Agenda: This program deals specifically with freight and the methods employed in handling it by the various express agencies. Description of the Chicago Tunnel System as it contributes to the transportation of freight in the city and to and from the city. The Railway Express Agency handles more than 12,000 cars by switching lines between points within the district, pulls freight cars in the deep tunnel and handles air express at the municipal airport. Mr. Mercier, the announcer, interviews H. M. Gordy, assistant vice president in charge of traffic for one of the largest trucking companies in America.
