He also stated that an E.T.V. Station will open in Toronto in September 1968, and by 1972, there will be 34 stations operating in Ontario, one being in the Lake- head to serve the North Shore. Mr. Gibben answered the question "Why use E.T.V.?" by saying that T.V. is a versatile aid to teachers, covering different sub- ject areas in different ways. T.V. brings in apparatus too expensive to be used in most schools, and can be shown in slow motion, which would help to explain various areas. This type of T.V. is not a substitute for good teachers, it is not entertainment, but an accepted way of life-E.T.V. provides enrichment essential. to aid teachers in their work. Using a video tape recorder he demonstrated what kind of programs would be available to E.T.V. school rooms.
