isher of a mimeo newspaper It is, in fact, an elementary manual for the journalist who has had no professional experience, and is in a form suitable for reprinting and wide distribution to the staffs of the rural papers. The mimeo newspaper is, admittedly, a rudimentary form of publishing, technically limited by the capacity of the equipment used. It is none the less significant for all that, and in passing, it should be noted that with skill and care, a professional looking paper can be produced. The important thing, however, is that this method of production enables a means of expression and establishes a small business enterprise, years before it would be economically possible with conventional printing plant.

rations and help in working out training projects. In the early chapters many questions are raised which can be used as the basis of class discussions. Discussion of ideas is valuable: it stimulates thinking and gives the instructor a chance to find out whether his ideas are getting through. For senior producers who may have trainees to supervise but little time to spend with them, this book may provide what is needed for assignment work. It will be useful also for working broadcasters with little or no access to training facilities and for students of broadcasting it provides a course manual. Outside contributors interested in radio, teachers and discussion group leaders can learn from it something about how radio and radio programming works." (How to use this book)
