University Radio Courses.

Foreseeing millions of listeners, the
bulk of them Of college age, the ma
tiOnal radio chamber of commerce ID
developing plan to establish radio
extension courses in American col
leges and universities.
England and Germany, it is said, are
planning to broadcast university extern
sion courses. Several prominent insti
tutions of learning in the United
States have made beginning in this
direction, the announcement continued
and their reports of the encouraging
success attending their efforts show us
that the possibilities of the new meth
cd are not underestimated.
Sixty other educational institutions
are broadcasting educational and must.
cal programs, forty-seven Of them be.
ing colleges and universities. The
combined area nominally covered By
these institutions has been estimated
to be seven or eight times the total
ares. of the United States.

WAKING UP THE SCHOOL
CHILDREN

A good school is not created by a
fine building. A group of children in
a little one room building may do bet
ter work, if they are keenly interested
to learn, than a bunch of drowsy and
tired kinds in the finest building in
the world.
Success in waking up school child
rem and making them want to learn,
is partly a gift possessed by certain
teachers. To a certain extent it de-
ponds on home influence.
If parents never talk about school
lessons to the children, the youngs-
tiers may get the idea that those les
sons are not important If parents
visit the school occasionally, if they
ask questions about their school work,
the kids begin to think that going to
school is a real job and that they must
attend to it.

THE FUTURE COUNTRY TOWN

Two men got to talking about the
future of rural life the other day.
One of them was an elderly man who
had seen the inns and outs of coun-
try town life, and had lost some IL
lusions. The other was young, and
full of new projects.
"All this stuff of yours about rural
clubs and marketing associations and
new organizations for the country
folks, is all right on paper" said the
older man, "and these ideas will
work where you have lot of pro-
gressive and active people.
"But the trouble is that in lot of
those towns, nine-tenths of the pro-
gressive people cleared out when
they we're young. That left behind
set of folks who are all right and l
think the world of 'em. But most of
them haven't much go ahead to them.
They don't seem to have the push to
take up schemes like yours and put
them through"
To this the young fellow replied:
"Your idea was right up to recent
date. But I've been watching these
country towns mighty close for the
past five years. ! have seen how
Vhe boys and girls are taking hold of
this club work, and know what they
are going to do"
"Of course the low prices on farm
stuff for the past two years has hurt.
But the young crowd think that will
adjust itself. Anyway, we are, keep
ing lot of young people in the
country of the go ahead type that
you speak Of. Just as quick as they
get to running things they will show
a lot of progress. And lots of the
older people are just as wide awake
and ready for new methods as they
are"
Which Of these two men are right?
The Lee County Journal banks on
the young fellow, and believes his
faith and enthusiasm are typical of
the new spirit that is evident in the
country towns among both young
and old.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

A few years ago most newspapers
printed only very brief news of for
eign affairs. The editors said the
public was not interested. They
could hardly get people to read any
thing about conditions in Europe.
Today there has been a change in
this respect. All over the country the
newspapers are giving much promi-
nence to foreign affairs. The fateful
developments in troubled Europe are
followed about as closely as affairs
in the United States. This tendency
is seen not merely in large city papers
but in the smaller places.
Why? Evidently the people are
finding out that their daily life is
closely affected by world conditions.
The farmers that grow cereals and
cotton have learned that the princi-
pal reason for unsatisfactory prices
on their crops has been the depressed
condition of the European market.
That market is at present handicap
ped by the disturbed political and
fcoromic situation in those countries.
The time has come when the rela-
tons of our government to foreign.
affairs have become a political issue
closely affecting daily life. The big
gest problem with which the federal
government has to deal in the few
years next ahead, is the question of
international relations. The govern
ment that deals wisely and adequate
ly with these matters will give this
country far more prosperity than one
that shows lack of such judgment.
The American people then must
get all over their old time indiffer-
ence to foreign affairs. The price of
their wheat and cotton and other pro-
duets will be to large extsrt made
in Europe. Our people may not
want to get mixed up in those quar-
rels, but at least they must under
stand them, and must have clear
perception of the attitude that the
American government should take on
all these matters.

Prof. Newall noted that the discov-
cry increased tina difficulty in obtain
ing a mechanical explanation OF sun
spot phenomena, since magnetic po-
larities depend on the directions or
the vortex motions around the spots.
Prof. Hale's theory on polarities OF
sun spots recalls Prof. Abbot's an
nouncement of the short-period
changes in solar radiation made some
time ago on sun spots and changes
in solar radiation" which showed
how far a connection can be traced
between visible changes on the solar
disc and the radiation changes.
Prof. Abbot's results were as fol-
lows: First. the appearance of sun
spots Is accompanied by high radi-
alton, presumably owing to the up
rush of hot matter from the interior;
second, lower radiation generally oc-
ours Just after the central transit of
spots; third. generally a disturbed
solar surface means high radiation.

observations of the brightness of
Saturn. The fluctuations could be

HISTORIC CAPE TOWN RELIC
Stump Of Old "Slave Tree" is All
That Remains az Reminder Of
Days of Slavery.

There Is an old tree in Cape Town.
In Church square, over $50 years old.
and all that remains of 1t today Is the
stump, to which is affixed brass plate
and an inscription, giving an outline
OF its history. 1t is a most historic
landmark, as 1t was there before the
days of Jan van Riebeck To this tree
slaves were brought and placed on ta-
bles for exhibition and sale.
The slaves were kept In the old Su-
preme court building. just opposite the
old tree. and 1t Is not difficult still to
picture the once familiar scene.
Slavery was abolished in 1893, but
the old slave tree stood and braved the
storms till November 8, 1915. when it
was cut down. as 1t was considered un-
safe. The brass plate was affixed by
the owner of store which. until the
tree was cut down. had always been
advertised as under the old Ar tree"
