"Education is no joke," GE Monogram, June 1956
Description
An account of the resource
Article about the success of the General Electric comic book program and its manager, Dwight Van Avery.
Transcript:
"Education is no joke." This is
the title of a two-page feature in the June
10 magazine section of the New York Sunday
News (circulation 3.7 million). It is
about Dwight Van Avery of Schenectady, the
unassuming idea man behind General
Electric's educational materials program
(Monogram, June 1953, p. 16). "Van's"
pioneering efforts in the field of instructional
comic books have become an important
factor in the teaching of high school
science, both here and abroad. Nearly 50
million comic books have been distributed
in response to requests. (Approximately 75
per cent of the students now completing
their high school education in the United
States have, at one time or another, during
their junior or senior high school careers,
read some of these.) The article featuring
ex-schoolteacher Van Avery is one of
a series in which the News brings to its readers
what it believes to be inspiring stories
of achievement. One result of the comic
book program not mentioned in the Sunday
supplement, but of interest to Mono·
gram readers, was some dramatic statistics
compiled recently by an impartial student
opinion survey, that asked high school
boys which American company they considered
the leader in scientific research.
Some 43 per cent chose General Electric,
while the nearest competitor drew only 14
per cent of the votes.

An account of the resource
Biographical article about Frank Panny, an GE Educational Relations employee who worked on the comic book project.
Transcript:
You put a microphone in front of a performer
or a politician and he becomes
almost incandescent. But not Frank
Panny. Frank has over ten years of
broadcasting experience logged in his
resume, yet when he is summoned to
the mike at Corporate Headquarters,
there's a wince on his face. He hates the
job. Anybody would. for his news is generally
bad . It goes something like this:
"Your attention please . Once again,
General Electric has received an anonymous
call. ... " His voice is calm, unhurried ;
the delivery is professional as
befits a pro. T he re may be a bomb in the
building. T hose who wish to. may leave.
T he building will be searched quickly
but thoroughly and will be declared secure
in about an hour. Panny repeats the
message. then bongs the chimes which
always signal the beginning and end of
any announcements made over the building's
internal PA system. And would you
believe the notes sounded are "G " " E"
"C'? When not spreading his glum
bomb messages, Frank Panny is a buyer
in Corporate Headquarter 's Production
and Distribution organization.
He earned hi s elocutionary side duties
because of his radio experience. Albany,
N.Y., residents may remember him as a
newscaster-sports announcer on WOKO.
" I left radio to join G E in Schenectady
in 1956," he says, " because the 50's were
kind of lean years for people in radio
broadcasting." His first assignment was
in Educational Relations, assisting in the
production of one of the most successful
educational programs in modern industry
- the much talked a bout Why Study
series of comic books. In 1959 he was
transferred to New York Cit y, which he
ruefully admits has changed some since
his boyhood on Manhattan's east side.
" Like bombs. Twenty years ago the re
was just one mad bomber in New York .
Today, you sometimes wonder if he
didn't have a large fa mil y." Not all of
Frank 's announcements a re bad. He had
a happy one in February. That was
the day he announced the strike had
ended

Article about the Adventures inside the atom comic book," and its use by students.
COMIC BOOKS have come in for
wide criticism as well as hearty
praise. Some may call the series General
Electric publishes "comics," but
we refer to them as cartoon narratives,
since they are in cartoon form and narrate
a story on some phase of science.
The latest endorsement of the value of
General Electric cartoon narratives has
come to our attention in the form of a
letter from a member of the legal department
of The Register and Tribune,
published in Des Moines, Iowa, and
affiliated through ownership with Look
and Quick magazines.
It all started because we received a
request for some science material for
Barry Zacherle, who has just entered
junior high school. His father had
asked us for any scientific materials we
had at hand; so we shipped him a
selection, including the cartoon narrative
called "Adventures Inside the
Atom," which deals simply with the
atoms. Barry must have soaked up
quantities of the material because he
gave a talk on atomic energy in his social studies class, which by accident
the superintendent of Des Moines
schools heard. He asked Barry to appear
before the school board. But
Barry's father modestly wrote that he
felt " it was substantially attributable
to the information he had received from
General Electric. We know that his
only information in the field of atomic
energy at this point has been received
not from the schools but from his
studies at home. Though he has some
other atomic energy source material,
the best of it and the most understandable
at his level, comes from the comic
books which you sent us."
