Abstract:
Papers of the founder of the National Academy of Broadcasting, Inc., and a teacher of music in schools and on the radio. Included are correspondence, articles and addresses, scrapbooks, press releases, printed materials, scripts, and sound recordings. The correspondence is largely of a personal nature, but letters written during the 1930's occasionally display her efforts to become recognized as a pioneer in educational broadcasting. Scripts and teachers' manuals relate to her position as broadcasting director for CBS's American School of the Air. There are also scripts and recordings for several radio series used to promote NAOB, as well as other instructional materials such as How to Speak and Write for Radio (1944), which she developed to teach broadcasting techniques.
