Radio Seen as Running
Classrooms in the Future
By LydU amy Bhaw
(AP Feature Writer)
It's 1947. Forty children are In a
cloakroom, scribbling buiily on arith
metic problems. The teacher Is scrib
bling too. Now and then all pause,
listen then scribble tome more.
Twenty blocks sway, 40 more chil
dren are working on the same prob
lems. In a suburb of the city, still
more children are busy at the same
work.
And It's all because of radio. The
arithmetic lesson Is being dictated
over the air to all schools at the same
time.
Maybe It won't even take ten years
for this to come about, assert Frank
Ernest Hill, of the Adult Education
association, who has Just completed
a study of radio In education.
In fact, some schools, mainly those
in Rochester, New Yprk, and Cleve
land already have Introduced ten
tatively the broadcasting of class
room problems by radio. And alert
Chicago school principals, during the
recent Infantile paralysis outbreak, ar
ranged for stay-at-home children to
keep up with their work with dally
broadcasts.
So far, however, radio classroom
work has been a novelty. Children
have heard all kinds of aupplemental
work over the air, mainly orchestral
programs and speakers.
But. says Mr. Hill, the 1047 air cur-
Old Customs Spumed in
Royal Moslem Romance
CAIRO. King Farouk of Egypt
just up and popped the question.
And Fsrlda Zulflkar, 16 - year - old
daughter of an Egyptian nobleman,
said, "Yea."
Sounds natural enough. But boy.
oh boy, In Egypt that's news. And
It's only the beginning.
What will Fa rid a do about the veil,
for Instance. Will she wear It In
public?
This betrothal bids fair to upset
Moslem customs that are centuries
old.
For example: In Egypt, until re
cently, a bridegroom never saw his
fiancee until their wedding night.
If a young man wanted to marry
he approached a "khattlbeh." a wom
an whose business It was to help men
seeking brides.
She visited families with daughters
ot a marring Able ago, accompanied
by the man's female relatives. To
gether they made their choice, and,
If he approved and he made his
decision entirely on their description
of his future wife arrangements were
made with the girl's parents for pay
menu of the dowry.
This was money or .property given
to the girl's parents by the bride
groom In exchango for their daughter.
This custom is being dropped gradu
ally among educated classes In Egypt,
but It never was observed better than
at the court of the late King Fuad,
Farouk'a father.
Fuad was a stickler in such mat-
ters. Queen Nozll, hla widow, spent
NORMAL SCHOOL CASI

Men on a Horse," October aa and

ium. Originally billed for Friday, Octo
ber 30, the reservation of the en
tiro house to visiting teachers and
alumni necessitated a performance
on Thursday to accommodate the
townspeople of southern Oregon.
The production Is part of the pro
gram of entertainment prepared tor
home-coming and the Southern Ore
gon Educational conference.
Three Men on a Horse" Is a
rtpnrkllng farce-comedy first pro
duced In New York In 1035, and
Inter adapted as a motion picture
It enjoyed phenomenal success on
both atage and screen and only re
cently was released for amateur pro
duction. The story centers around
a placid, agreeable little man, Erwin
Trowbridge, who wrltea greeting
verses for Christmas, Mothers' day,
and other occasions. Erwin would
lie happy In his suburban home
and with his MO a week Job, but for
an overbearing brother-in-law and a
rather extravagant wife. F.rwln re

two and Instead of going to worn,
he winds up in a cheap, down-town
hotel barroom, well started on an
old-fiiahtoned binge.
Erwin has a hobhy of picking
the horae as he rides lo work on
the bus. and his choices are invar
iably right. Here In the barroom
he falls In with a trio of race-traca

motherland, all became Involved In
the mixup. Through It all, however,
Erwin has remained the quiet poet
phtlosophfr, troubled only by the
possible loaa of hla Job and his
wife. His reactions to th complica
tions build the show up to a no
tickling, exciting climax. The ex

In the Name of Progress!
To the editor:
"War Is progressive," says a. L.
Bullen. But he presents no facts to
subn tan t late his statement. What
problems have been settled by mass
murder? Tin to Is not a scintilla oi
evidence that the millions of young
men with all their potentialities
that they had to give to society
have furthered progress an lota by
being served as cannon fodder. Ilie
glorlfler of war Is he that Is sate
from the firing linen, except In the
case of the flndlRt es exemplified
by the young Mussolini, another
glorlfler of war. No man seeing the
mut illation of human beings can
feel that war Is a praiseworthy feat.
Progrt5s Is the development of
conditions whereby all the people
are able to lead a better and fuller
life. It can only be brought about
through sclentllic c d u c s 1 1 o n
through the development of the po
tentialities that all or us have to
give to society. We need peace in
order to exert our energy and time
towards this end. If this be "de
cay" S Mr. Bullen maintains, then
assuredly aoctcty mut return to the
dark ages, u should be of great
satiAractlon to a. L. B. the rapid
stride that fn seism la making in
the world. Italy's Invasion In Ethi
opia, Germany and Italy's Invasion
In Spain, Japan's Invasion in China.
All this, Mr. Bullen would have us
believe. Is In the name of progress.
"Make men out ot women." It is
only logical that Mr. Bullen shouia
still adhere to the antiquated And
rocratic theory of the superiority oi
the male. If he can believe that war
is progressive then he probably holds
to the opinion that Japan is in
vading China in order to make the
world safe from rommunlm.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
REFERENCE haa been made In
theae chronicles to the wild
horae bands that Inhabit the deserts
of Lake and Harney oountlea.
These animals, which are much
wilder and warier than antelope, are
the deecendanta of a band of 700 or
800 turned loose on the desert by
the Sherks back In the Vt, when
the price of horses was so low aa to
make rt no longer profitable to keep
them.
HOT blood runs In the veins of
these now scrubby little ani
mals, for when they were turned
loose the mares were well bred up,
and most of the stallions were thor
oughbreds.
Tou wouldn't think it. to look at
them now. The mares are ratty little
affairs and. while the stallions, when
they pause and look baok after a
run, can get a fussy arch In their
necka and a partially proud lift to
their tails, and can really put on
quite a show, they're only runty little
horses that wouldn't get a second
look in a corral. There are occa
sional exceptions, of course, but that
Is the general rule.
That's what Inbreeding over a pe
riod of some 40 years can do.
TEN years or so after these horses
were turned loose on the range,
prices came up and for several years
the animals that were turned loose
to go wild were hunted persistently
and were sold at good prices. Some
of those so captured were fine ani
mals and sold for better than (300.
That wea before Inbreeding got In
Its deadly work. Inbreeding destroys
horse quality In a particularly short
space of time, becsuse It Is the habit
of a stallion to gather a group of
mares around him snd hold them In
a band year after year until some
young stallion comes slong and drives
him out.
This younger stallion la apt to be
a son of the elder one. so the vicious
circle of heredity goes on unchecked.

gon. It isn't really a business, pur
suit. It could be better described as
a form of gambling, and everybody
haa a certain amount of gambling
blood In his veins.
"The gamble lies In the exceptions
noted before. Here snd there, among
the inbred bands, la a good animal,
and at some time during the year
nearly everyone living in these vast
deserts takes a whirl at horse chasing
In the hope of bringing back an ani
mal that will turn out to be a Jewel.
They run them Into wins-gated
corrals., they ride them down and
rope them, they trap them at springs
and at salt licks. (The traps are
nooses operated by a trigger, much
like a rabbit snare, and attached to
heavy cloga. Here and there, they
run them in In bands and butcher
them by wholesale and make fertilizer
or dog food of them.
To this writer, that seems a re
volting enterprise. The horse Is too
proud an animal, too much tied up
with the history and progress of the
human race, too much a creature of
sentiment and high tradition, to be
devoted to such a fate.
But it Is true that the mustang
bands of the Lake and Harney des
ert, when they become too numer
ous, do eat a lot of grass that is needed
for cattle, and their numbers have
to be kept down In one way and an
other. N CONSIDERING the wild horses
of Lake and Harney deserts, don't
let your Imagination mislead you too
much. Proud palomino stallions thst (
when run down and "gentled win
be the cynosure of all eyes and will
make their possessor an envied ma
are about as scarce as gold mint
They exist chiefly In the minds r
writers snd the movie scenarist.
But the wild horae bands do lend
an Interesting touch of color to the
wide desert coutnry, and this writer,
for one, hope it may be a long time
before they disappear.

of nls own as he is.
This wss revealed dramatically at
a dramatic moment the eve of the
last election.
Frequently, the president spoke to
his friends during the campaign In
Massachusetts with a warmth that
showed he gave his son full credit
for his share in the victory.
Of course, there la more than a
personal political career involved In
the appointment.
If "Jimmy" makes good, he will at
the same time be solving an Impor
tant administrative problem, doing a
stroke for the reorganization bill.
One of the most difficult situa
tions facing the president Is main
taining contact with the heads of the
government departments and divis
ions. Its solution would go a long
wsy toward selling congress on the
Idea of the "personal advisers" which
Is a part of the reorganization plan
Furthermore It would cure a lot of
hitherto incurable White House
headaches, smooth a number of ruf
fled departmental spirits and oil the
machinery of government generally.
It takes a vivid imagination to
predict what will happen on Capitol
Hill after November 15.
One of the senate's leading "un
willing voters" was the late Senator
Joe Robinson. He Is credited with
having cast more unwilling votes In
the last year than In all the rest of
his career. Two leading "unwilling
voters" are left. Jack Garner Is one,
whose disposition to corral, If not to
case, further ballots for bills he
doesn't believe in may have consider
ably cooled.
Pat Harrison, unless he has chang
ed his mood from' the one in which
he departed, feels himself free of
obligations. The one vote that gave
Senator Berkley the leadership wipes
out that Senator Pat might have csst
for the administration if he had won.
These three men. among them
selves, had a total vote-getting power
in the last senate that was equal to
some of the best of the Republican
horsemen when the G. O. P. rod
high, wide and handsome. If they
voted against their convictions. It
ill became their followers to gag at
legislation they didn't like.
The lack of unwilling votes may be
the administration's biggest problem
In the senate at the coming session,
say the wary.
Enter a new deal in national
financing.
In the future, according to the
telescopic observations of some obser
vers. America will not have to depend
upon the millionaire to supply the
golden sinews of government. In
stead of selling big, long-term bonds
to plutocrats, the nation will draw
its funds from the little fellow who
buys baby bonds and the contribu
tors, humble and otherwise, who pay
the social security taxes.

At the present time, th treasury
is replenishing Its available fundi by
selling short-term bills, but the pol
icy heretofore has been to supply th
government's Important needs by th
sale of bonds. Recently, however,
there were complaint in banking
circles that the government's long
term financing was absorbing th
capital of the country to such aa
extent that private corporate financ
ing was being interfered with. Thl
accounts for the short-term financ
ing It is now doing. For It long
term financing, the government now
has an increasing outlet In It sale
of baby bonds and in the expanding
volume of revenue from social secur
ity tsxes In the long run. Treasury
offtclsJs believe these two source erf
money will take care of Its long-terra
financing to such an extent that
corporate Interests will no longer b
handicapped by the competition erf

The president hesitated befor ha
brought., his ..son ..Into ..the.. Whit
House family fearing the cry of
"nepotism." Friends persuaded him
to do so. John Adams, when he wss
elected, hesitated to appoint John
Qulncy to the post of minister to
Prussia. He consulted George Wash
lngton. Washington insisted that th
appointment be made.
The son successfully negotiated a
treaty with Prussia. When John
Adams left the White House, John
Qulncy was then well on his way.
