It should be noted that mass communication has remarkably developed with different media, and that a large quantity of information acquired through mass media has led us to the change of our daily life. In this situation, research in the field of mass communication has been conducted mainly on what effects and influences communication activities have upon the children. In this article, however, the writers discuss, in terms of school in the flow of mass communication, the problem of re-consideration of the school education, above all, the communication system at school. We can regard the text books, records, slides, etc. used at school as mass media, including other typical mass media such as broadcast, newspaper and magazine. Therefore, we can regard school as a system of processing information acquired through these media. There are two types of communication in accordance with the characteristics of media. One is a "conveying" communication, the other is a "mutual amplifying" one. In a "conveying" communication, the teacher may act as an opinion leader in so-called two-step flow of communication. In a "mutual amplifying" communication, we can say that the teacher has more characteristics as a tutor to the pupils or the students. In these communication systems at school, intra-personal communication, personal communication, and mass communication interact dynamically. In other words, this is a dialogic process between "his own individual" world and "commonly owned" world. Therefore, in learning and instruction process, we may find two flows, that is, the flow from "homogeneous" to "individual" and the flow from "individual" to "homogeneous." The former corresponds to a "conveying" communication, and the latter to a "mutual amplifying" one. It has been proposed that by modifying some parts of the recorded materials, we can make good use of the audio-visual teaching aids, especially television films. This proposal surely hits the mark in the case of a "conveying" communication, but a "mutual amplifying" communication will not always allow us to do this kind of modification. In this respect, we need to consider seriously this problem since it seems reasonable to suppose that the aspect of school as a "mutual amplifying" communication system will be emphasized and be significant in school education in future. Otherwise, the existence of school itself might be endangered.
