| NOTA |
(★)(Japan´s system of educational broadcasting is recognized by experts as the best developed in the world. At a time when newly developing nations are searching for effective methods to overcome illiteracy, spread as widely as possible the benefits of education, and make available to all sectors of their countries up-to-date information on scientific, technological, and social developments, Japan´s 35 years of experience in school broadcasting and 15 years of school telecasting can provide some valuable guidelines and warnings. Even educational broadcasters in countries where radio and TV have long been in use for educational purposes, but where the system as a whole differs from Japan´s, could find in those differences insights into some of their current problems. In this book by a man who did more than anyone else in Japan for the development of educational radio and TV broadcasting, the reader will be able to follow the history of Japanese school broadcasting from its inception, through its growing pains, to its present level of maturity. He will also be introduced to the author´s views on ´textbook-centered, teacher-centered´ education, and his original theory of the ten different ages of educational history with the corresponding ten images of a teacher. This book makes available for the first time in English valuable material in the fields of educational broadcasting and the communication arts. Further, it will prove useful to historians, sociologists, and general students of Japanese culture interested in exploring another, but easily overlooked, factor in Japan´s impressive rate of modernization. ◆Dr. Mitoji Nishimoto, after receiving his MA degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, in 1924, returned to Japan to become a leader in progressive education.

He received his Ph.D. from Tokyo University in 1965. In April 1967 he retired from International Christian University to become President of Tezukayama Gakuin University in Osaka.
