One of the first educational shows for younger children, DING DONG SCHOOL was devised, produced, and hosted by Dr. Frances Horwich, chairman of the Education Department art Chicago's Roosevelt College. Known as Miss Frances, she gave lessons in basic forms of play for viewers ages 3 thru 7 and their parents. In Volume One, Miss Frances reads a Little Golden Book entitled "I Decided" to show children the importance of choosing wisely, tries on unusual hats, paints pictures of plants, shows how to use a strainer, a funnel, and different sizes of cups, and shows how to make a peanut butter, banana, and lettuce (???) sandwich. She also plugs her sponsor, Wheaties (this was before Wheaties had sports figures on its boxes or its commercials).
