PROGRESS OF RADIO
THROUGH The YEARS
Wireless Research Began Long
Ago, But Development Has
Been Swift Lately,

Wireless research started many
years ago, as far back even as 1927.
Even the radio telephone is not re-
cent perfection; rather it Is that intro
ductiOn to the layman Of the human
voice and music has suddenly popular
lied something that wireless men had
thought a pastime or amusement Here
Is the chronological record Of wire
less:
1827-It was found that the mag
netic discharge from a leyden jar
would magnetic steel needle.
1881 - Electro magnetic induction
was discovered between two entirely
separate circuits by Michael Faraday.
1S37-Cooke and Wheatstone of
London, England, and Morse of the
United States take out first patent for
electric telegraph.
183S-K. A. Steinhel} Of Munich
suggested that system Of wireless
telegraphy could be established after
his discovery of the use of the earth
return.
1840-Joseph Henry (U. S. A. pro-
duced the first high-frequency cleo
trio oscillations, and stated that the
condenser discharge is oscillatory.
1912 Wireless experiments were
made by S. f. b. Morse by electric
conduction through water across
Washington canal and across wide
rivers.
1S43-A wireless system for trans
atlantic communication was suggested.
1S45-Water was used as conduct
ing medium in wireless experiments
across wide river.
1849-Intelligible signals were act
ually sent across a river $500 feet
wide in India; but the cost was found
prohibitive for commercial use.

Health Poster Contest Ended

The pupils of the County showed
considerable interest in the Health
Poster Contest, the prizes for which
were to be given by the State Tuber-
culosis Association. Five schools en-
tered the contest and seventy-three
posters were submitted. The prizes
were won by:-1st. $500 by Clara
Kilene of the Lonetree School, End
by Almira Olson of the Ryder School
and 3rd. and 4th. were won by the
Surrey School, by Irma Englar, and
Thelma Burns. Prizes also are to be
given to the School sending in the
best group of posters, the first $500
to be given to the Surrey School, and
the second $500 to the Lonetree
School.
The judges for the Poster Contest
were:-Mrs. Simpson Of the Art De-
partment of the Normal School, Mrs.
Harter formerly in charge of the
same Department in the Minot High
Schools, Miss Croker Y. w. C. A
secretary, and Mrs. Du Bord gradu-
ate nurse who took charge Of the
Night School Class of Home Nursing
when Miss Adamson was forced to
give up the work.
The children had some very gooc
ideas and the posters showed the good
results of the health education which
the children have had this winter.
1t is very interesting the results
obtained already along the Health
lines, and to see the keen interest the
children have in the work. Next veal
it is hoped more schools will enter a
similar contest and more competition
among schools will be shown.
