SCHOOL FOR RADIO FANS.
Widespread Demand for Regular
Courses Of Instruction.


Courses OF Instruction.
The enthusiasm for the radio tele-
phone has developed a widespread de
mand for regular schools of instruction
in the new art. The first of these
courses. which has just been started in
New York. is well patrOnized and will
doubtless be followed by similar instruc-
ton in other cities throughout the cOun-
try. The radio fan who wishes To be
come an expert in installing a wireless
telephone in his own home and operat-
ing it to the best advantage can receive
the proper instruction from experts. just
as he would take a special course IN any
other art or science.
There is, besides, n general demand
for such instruction among men or Wom-
en- who wish to become demonstrators OF
wireless apparatus in stores or statesmen
of these instruments on the road. The
radio apparatus Is quickly becoming an
important feature of the department
stores, while hundreds of electuCal sup
ply and hardware stores throughout the
country are featuring them. 1t Is diff
cult to find statesmen who can set up
such apparatus and explain it intelli-
gently to possible purchasers There Is
so general demand for such statesmen
that a short course in wireless cleo
tricity becomes good investment
The first of the course given in New
York consists of IS lectures. which are
given in the afternoon or evening. he
expense of such a course is trifiing. and
the prospective operators of a radio sta
ton or statesmen of such apparatus can
receive the necessary preparation in Il
few days. An enthusiastic radio fan
will not begrudge the few hours and
trifing expense necessary to receive
such instruction. For those who wish
to receive regular training in radio
work, including sending by the regular
telegraph code, there are a variety of
courses.
The number of graduates of these
radio schools comes as surprise to the
average layman in such matters. The
Radio Institute of America has gradu-
ated over 1000 students. aad the ire
mendous boom in radio teleyloning will
doubtless greatly increase this alumni
Heretofore tie principal demand for
radio men ha been aboard the merchant
marine. The vice is attractive and
rays well The N are usually started
at a salary of $50 a month, with all
living expenses and allowances for shore
leave and advancement Is rapid.
The installation of the radio telephone
aboard ships marks a new era in wire
less communication. Only Il few ships
have so far been equipped with radio tel
ephones but the installation will soon be
very common.

 "The chief of the tribe, a husky Samoan, turned over his grass hut palace to the mate and myself to be used as our private quarters during our stay on the island. He also ten dered me one of his daughters, a beautiful dark-haired girl. with a lovely figure, as servant. Other pretty girls were assigned to the mate and to members of the crew to wait on them.
 Entertainment Plentiful
 We certainly did not lack for en. tertainment.
 T had only about 30 cents in my pocket when I landed but money was no object. Many dinners were given in our honor and native maidens in grass skirts performed hula dances for our amusement.
 All the inhabitants of the island are Christians and live upright lives.
 we had a hard time getting away. The women wanted husbands and they pleaded with us and coaxed us to stay. Owing to the isolation of Tagawa, most of the men of marri- ageable age have left 1t.
 "On our twentieth day on the island Mate T. P. Bensen sighted the steamer Hauraki. We put out in our boat and signaled repeatedly, finally catchin the attention of those aboard her and they picked us up.
 We were not worrying, for if tho Hauraki had not sighted us we would have been taken off the island by the London Missionary society boat which calls at Tagawa twice each year."
