Editor's Notes
- Thomas Edison was one of the first to produce films for classroom showings. Early in 191), he released a series of historical films that covered important phases of the American Revolution. The first was released in July 1911 and was entitled The Minute Men. A few years later Edison produced another series, on natural and physical science, These films, released in 1914, included Cabbage Butterfly. Cecropia Moth, Life History of the Silkworm, Magnetism, and Microwopie Pond Life. And as early as 1908, F. Percy Smith had begun to make his magnified picture studies of the housefly, and also made two short subjects, The Birth of a flower and The Germination of Plants, by means of time-lapse photography.Frank Freeman in 1923, classified and offered as a working basis the following four types of educational films: (1) the dramatic, either fictional or historical; (2) the anthropological or sociological, differing from the dramatic in that it is not primarily based on a narrative or story; (3) the industrial or commercial, which shows the processes of modern industry and commerce; and (4) the scientific, which may be classified into subgroups corresponding to the individual sciences, such as earth science, nature study, etc.”As early as 194$, Iowa State College (now University) in Ames applied to the FCC for a construction permit, and on February 21, 1950, WO1-TV became the first non-experimental educational station in the world. Richard Hull. the first director of WOI-TV, did not feel that an educational station had to be “noncommercial” and used the term nonprofit because this station operated on a commercial channel and carried commercials to help support its broadcasting activities.
