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, and science; 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.
At the end of this document is a short list of volumes that are cataloged and shelved separately from this collection but seem to relate to it.
