Talk by L. M. Ravet
Monsieur L. M. Ravet , head interpreter of Unesco, talks about the progress made in the rehabilitation of cultural life in Europe in the last few months. He describes the rehabilitation of universities, schools, and libraries all over the wide areas of devastation, the supply of books and scientific instruments — even of drawing-pins and blotting-paper-the seeking out of university staffs hunted from their lecture rooms by the Nazis. and the training of many thousands of teachers. Unesco is not simply aiming at the material rehabilitation of the instruments of teaching but at the creation of general conditions of scientific and artistic learning all over the world.
