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.
Description of
contents of the volumes for v. 51-100:

"Is there value in having children produce by their own apparatus or their own dexterity sounds which are heard by children who don't see the manner in which the sound is produced and gradually build up more acuteness of ear as to what those sounds are and what's the matter with it and how it could be improved? Is there any field there in getting the children to be more acute in their knowledge of sounds?"
"Is the sound effects microphone open all during the programs? How could you avoid accidental noises?"
"How do they get sound effects of something located closer? Or somebody in a closet?"
"How many people does it take to make a mob?"
"The two arms on the record-do they play simultaneously or a shade behind each other?"

Program: The New China
Date: Oct. 26, 1944
Subject: Chinese Soldiers (5th broadcast)
Narrator: Richard W. Lieban of the Chinese News Service
Script: The Japanese first attacked China on August 13, 1937, expecting an easy victory, yet the Chinese have held them at bay for over seven years. "Until this war, soldiers were at the bottom of the scale of social values of the peace-loving Chinese people. But today that is different, Chinese soldiers are their country's heroes, for without them, China would have been enslaved."
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Struggle in Occupied China (6th broadcast)
Script: Thirteen years ago the Japanese marched into China's northeast provinces to clear the country of "bandits." These "bandits" were China's guerilla fighters who have made all occupied China as uncomfortable as possible for the enemy. Instead of peace and prosperity, as they promised, the Japanese brought economic slavery and starvation to China. Now occupied China is waiting for the outside assistance which will enable it to throw the enemy into the sea.
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Student Round Table Discussion (7th broadcast)
Guests: Adele Goldblat, Lee Brody and Bill Rolph from the Goudy School and Mario Bowen from the Ravenswood School.
Script: Of China's 28 provinces, 21 are partially occupied by the Japanese. China is 1/3 larger than the United States. More than 3/4 of China is mountainous. The Yangtze river is a transcontinental waterway conveyor and a highway for river boat traffic. Before the war China's industry could be compared to that in the United States of about 1890. Farming is its main occupation. Although the Japanese destroyed 93% of Chinese schools, yet 75% of students continued their work. The army has about 5,000,000 men, for the most part poorly equipped. Many Chinese pilots fly with Americans of the U. S. 14th Air Force. Chinese guerrillas continually strike at the Japanese occupation forces. The Japanese call their invasion of China "The China Incident." They have not declared war. Japanese tactics have caused serious inflation. Inflation will end when the Burma Road is reopened. Listed are the many Chinese contributions to world civilization.
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Chiang Kai-shek, Statesman and Soldier (8th broadcast)
Script: Dr. Sun Yat-sen, father of the Chinese Revolution, resolved that the corrupt Chinese monarchy must be overthrown. Chiang Kai-shek joined his party and later took over the leadership of the campaigns to unify the nation. As President Chiang he has led China in the war of liberation.
"At the Cairo conference, President Chiang, with Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt, established a harmony of decision regarding the war against Japan and the disposal of the enemy's stolen empire when the war is won."
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Chinese Stories and Storytellers (9th broadcast)
Script: Wandering story tellers and minstrels are found in the countryside, and in cities in Chinese teahouses. They educate as well as entertain, handing stories down for generations and acting as vocal historians. "Today storytellers are informal Chinese war commentators." One of the most widely told stories is the famous epic of the Monkey.
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Wisdom of China (10th broadcast)
Script: Chinese have debated what is the best type of society for man to live in. The most famous of all their sages is Confucius who believed in common sense and reasonableness. To offset this positiveness is Laotse, who philosophy was that of a skeptical rogue. "When life is difficult and confused, the romanticism, poetry and nature worship of Taoism ease the burden as Confucianism can never do." (Quotes from each philosopher follow.) Following these men are Mencius and Lusin. "Mensius believed in the fundamental goodness of human nature and that man should strive to retrieve it." He believed that the supreme authority of government should be in the hands of the people. Lusin is one of the voices of the new China, a revolutionary writer, who believed that freedom never just comes to people, that it has to be sweated for and struggled for.
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Democracy in China (llth broadcast)
Script: Sun Yat-sen was a leader who believed that the regeneration of China depended on the overthrow of the corrupt Manchu monarchy which ruled China and establishment of a republic which could unite all the people in a democratic movement. He was influenced by American political philosophy. After Dr. Sun died in 1925, Chiang Kai-shek achieved unification of the country. In 1937 the Japanese struck and progress had to be postponed. There can be no freedom for China until the Japanese are driven out. A main factor contributing to democracy in China is education, others are the rise of women, industrial cooperatives, the Peoples Political Council.
Program: The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: China at Cairo (12th broadcast)
Script: The Cairo Conference "strengthened the fighting bonds between the Allied nations fighting Japan and insured that they would carry on the struggle with expanding energy until the Japanese were forced to surrender unconditionally." The background of events leading to the conference resulted finally in the events after Pearl Harbor. Then China was joined by fighting allies in the struggle against Japan, and China was recognized as one of the leading members of the fighting democratic coalition which named itself the United Nations. It was in a spirit of international democracy and understanding that the Cairo Conference was held.
Program; The New China
Date: (n.a.)
Subject: Student Roundtable (13th broadcast)
Guests: Gus Sotir and Charles Brunell of Hookway School; and Joyce Rahnel and Shire Rothbart of Hibbard School.
Script: Questions of guest panel: Why didn't the Chinese try to make a revolution before Dr. Sun Yat-sen? Why did Chiang Kai-shek become the leader of China after the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen?
Hasn't the unification of China been made harder because so many different languages are spoken in the country? Why have so many Chinese been unable to read and write? What subjects are Chinese children taught in schools? Is the Chinese government anything like that in the United States? What are the Chinese planning to do with all their damaged land and property after the war? Will the Chinese move to the West after the war, or will they stay in the East near the biggest cities? Won't the Chinese need help from other countries in building up their industry? Do you mean building the peace?
