"History, science, social stud ies and even mathematics can be presented via television in a way to stimulate the interest and participation of students, and the school systems should subsi dize this effort. "It is unfair to expect the sta tions to underwrite an effort which speeds the learning of thc pupils and eases thc labor of thc teacher."
