Pages 3-4 in Lucinda Crile, Review of Extension Studies - January to June 1950, Extension Service Circular 470, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. July 1950. Summary of findings from a M.S. thesis, University of Wisconsin, Madison. 1949. 123 pages., Effective use of the "various media and tools of communication..., perhaps, is the area of our present training program that needs most strengthening."
Supports training of agriculture students in news-writing, and argues that they also should be trained in public speaking. Also: "it would seem that agricultural students should by all means know or learn how to make a living with their hands on land before they take up news-writing and public speaking. Our national literacy of the head is far greater than our literacy of the human hand. We cannot take much of a hand in nation-building from the ground up unless we have trained hands, even in this machine age."
