Richard Lloyd Jones Says
RADIO WILL FILL TENTS

like to feel the comradship of COM
pany. We want to applaud together
Whoever heard hermit hurrah?
We like to greet friends. It's nice
to be neighbors. It's fun to say
"howdy." It is living to ask, did
you hear that, or see this?" We like
to SEE what we can do. We like to
see what the other fellow can do.
That's why we go to the county fair
and the state fair; that's why we go
to the Chautauqua tent and the Ly-
ceum hall. That's why the movie
lures.
The radio is going to make us want
more and not less. 1t is going to
whet our appetites for more fine
things and more fellowship with fine
things. Radio is going to draw to-
gether talent and attendance. It is
going to fill our tents and halls.

gence. We do no less, and we do
vastly more; we cultivate all minds
as far as we can encourage every
mind to go.
Behold the little red school house,
the cornerstone of our greatness. It
has done wonderful things for our
country. Now it is going to do more
Just about the time that Europe
and Asia are beginning to get the es-
sential idea we are pushing the little
red school houses together into the
big brick, modern, metropolitan Con-
solidated School, with all it's better
equipment, social lessons, assemblies
and better teachers. Now we are
making the school work play.
We are beginning to teach by eye
as well as by ear. The film is going
to be better story-teller of history
and geography, better revealer of
biology and botany than any book.
For long time we graded our pu-
pills by averages, holding the bright
boy back, which discourages the slow
boy. But now comes DR.. A. H. Suth-
erland. another pedagogue of distinc-
ton, who out in Los Angeles has dem
onstrated the value of degrading our
schools so that the slow boy is en-
couraged rather than discouraged,
helped rather than handicapped, and
the quick boy is not held back.
We're long way ahead of the rest
of the world, and we're going to keep
long way ahead.

Rather boastfully he said: radio

FLOCK TO CANADA
Immigrants Of High Order Set
ting on Western Plains.
aemoyaI Of Restrictions Necessary Dun
ing the War Has Shown worries
Faith In Dominion's Future.

For a period during the late war.
and for while after Its close, theEe
was put into operation by the Canaulan
government legislation restricting GER
toin classes and people Of the countries
which were not lined up with the aliieo
nations from being admitted to Canaoa.
This was quite necessary, and the rea-
sons for 1t will be SO apparent that
they need not be given. However. the
time came, in the early summer OF TINS
year, when it was deemed possible to
remove some of these restrictions. 1t
was found that there were many who
came under their ruling that were OF
a class that Canada needed ana VINO
needed Canada. The restrictions,
doubtless. were drastic, but were need
full. The news of their removal. sent
broadcast, has met with such re-
sponse as TO give ample evidence that
they had not killed interest in Canada,
and that faith in the Dominion as
country where new existence, happy
and fruitful, was as complete as ever.
As has been stated by one writer deal
ing with this subject, "the opening OF
the doors n little wider has but dis
closed the dammed-up state OF the
stream, which, given freer release, Is
pouring In fuller force over the DO
minion."
AS to the moral effect Of the legisla-
tion that enabled these restrictions to
be carried out. it showed that while
Canada was seeking settlers. its lands
and its homes we're not intended as
shelter for those unable to meet the
standard set as Canada's laws of CIV
ilization, the concessions which have
removed these restrictions still have
In view the maintenance of this stand
ard, and those who are still allowed
in are subject to the same require
ments that have prevailed for years.
As pointed ont by the writer previously
quoted, Canada has successfully I'm
pressed on those countries from which
she draws her people that her prime
and crying need is for those who will
go on land. and of those entering the
country the bdlk Is composed of agri.
culturists. Every country which has
formerly contributed to Canada's pop
ulation has resumed its mission to its
shores.
"The lowering Of the barriers has
had farthcr-reaching effect than the
entry into the country of many for
mcrly debarred by reasons of financial
stringency 1t has had n moral effect.
The restriction was rightly regarded

William Fahy, postoffice inspector,
federal agents received tip five
weeks ago to watch for mail rob-
bery at whiting, Ind, where auto
mobile bandits Wednesday held up
Joseph n. Swartz and escaped
with several pouches of mail.
Swartx was taking tho mail from
the Pennsylvania station to the

Mr.. Fahy said that man called
him on the telephone and gave him
the names of five mon and details
of the plans for the robbery. It is
said tho mails were watched for a
time but, as nothing occurred, the
guard was abandoned.
The mail sacks are not believed
to havs coEtalned any large

According to the Whiting police,
the bandits waited until the mail
train had pulled away. The mail
clerk piled the bags into small
wheel cart and was about a block
away from the station, when the
bandits car, containing the three
men, drove alongside.
Ono Of the robbers fired a shot
