01:40Just take a look. I don't know. Why are they showing that?
01:43No, no, no.
01:43We want to show some more of the stuff from Sesame Street.
01:46We don't care about the executive producer or anything like that.
01:48Now, come on, Bert.
01:50Can't we show some more of the stuff from the show?
01:52Look, they can see it.
01:53We'll see it all next week, Ernie. Come on now.
01:55Now, who cares who wrote this thing?
01:56Now, let's just say, oh, look, they left.
01:58They left out Danny's credit there.
02:00Yeah, Danny was there.
02:00Hey, come on.
02:01Hey, Xerox, how about putting this on for an extra half an hour?
02:03Do you think we could, because we could, no, huh?
02:06Well, how about, then just watch next week.
02:08What time are we on?
02:08In different times and different places.
02:10Now, come on.

03:08Dr. James E. Allen, Jr., United States Commissioner of Education.
03:13I'm told that television networks never preview programs...
03:18...scheduled by other networks, but NBC, with the help of...
03:23Xerox, has done just that, and both deserve commendation for this...
03:28...advanced glimpse of Sesame Street, the new daily series for children...
03:33...which will be seen on more than 170 educational television...
03:38...the new stations from Maine to American Samoa.
03:43Sesame Street represents both an historic step forward by the medium of TV...
03:48...and an equally significant innovation in mass education.
03:53In plain words, there never has been before.
03:58A nationwide TV program designed especially to help repair...
04:03...young children for school.
04:06Next week, there will be...
04:08...early childhood experts now know that young children develop much...
04:13...of their intellectual capacity long before they enter school.
04:18And all of us have seen the power that television has to reach and teach children.
04:23In fact, some children watch as many hours of TV...
04:28...before they enter the first grade, as they will spend in the classroom...
04:33...during the first five years of school.
04:36The children's television...
04:38...workshop of National Educational Television...
04:41...was created to find out how...
04:43...effective the medium of TV could be in helping prepare preschoolers for school.
04:48...the films you have just seen are a sample of the type of program...
04:53...the workshops Sesame Street series will offer in its...
04:58...atempt to provide answer to that question.
05:03We attempt to provide an answer to that question.
05:03the United States Office of Education are proud to join with Project Head Start.
05:08and several distinguished private foundations in making this experiment.
05:13And I hope you will help your child find a way to help your child.
05:18Find this exciting new way to learning by tuning to your local education.
05:23Each day at Sesame Street time.
